Gary's NDE: Ultimate Terror to Ultimate Joy

In this enlightening conversation, Gary Wimmer shares his profound near-death experience (NDE) that transformed his understanding of life, consciousness, and the universe.

He recounts his journey from a curious young man to a spiritually awakened individual after a life-altering accident and his NDE (near death experience).

Gary discusses the insights he gained about the infinite mind of God, the nature of free will, and the importance of personal empowerment. He emphasizes the role of free will in shaping our perceptions and experiences, and how it can lead to personal growth and happiness.

The conversation also touches on the future of humanity and the lessons we can learn from current global challenges.

00:00:03.790 --> 00:00:06.669
From the time that they pronounced me that was

00:00:06.669 --> 00:00:10.250
a good 45 minutes They cut my clothes and then

00:00:10.250 --> 00:00:13.609
they paddled my heart my heart stopped and I

00:00:13.609 --> 00:00:17.129
could see people screaming and crying But I didn't

00:00:17.129 --> 00:00:19.510
realize that was actually my physical body because

00:00:19.510 --> 00:00:22.890
I was somewhere else The only thing that I could

00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:26.809
feel if you can imagine Absolute love and peace

00:00:26.809 --> 00:00:29.829
there wasn't anything else to be felt. I was

00:00:29.829 --> 00:00:33.070
greeted by people I'd known in the past I'm back

00:00:33.070 --> 00:00:36.909
home again. Incredibly safe and felt at home.

00:00:39.170 --> 00:00:41.149
Welcome, welcome to Round Trip Death everybody

00:00:41.149 --> 00:00:44.429
and a warm welcome to our special guest today,

00:00:44.570 --> 00:00:47.049
Gary Wimmer. And you're down in Texas, right

00:00:47.049 --> 00:00:51.390
Gary? Correct, Austin, Texas. Well, it's good

00:00:51.390 --> 00:00:53.710
to have you here. I appreciate you reaching out

00:00:53.710 --> 00:00:57.210
to me. Can't wait to hear your story. Before

00:00:57.210 --> 00:01:00.439
we jump into it and hear about your NDE, Give

00:01:00.439 --> 00:01:02.460
us an idea of who's Gary. Tell us a little bit

00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:05.680
about you. Well, I'm the third of seven sons,

00:01:06.019 --> 00:01:09.000
Catholic parents. I was raised Catholic, altar

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:12.719
boy. I had a lot of interest in God and Christ,

00:01:12.719 --> 00:01:15.299
but when I went through puberty, I left the Catholic

00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:18.780
Church. But I never left my search for God and

00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:22.040
Christ and truth, you know. I had six brothers,

00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:25.500
and I was overwhelmed with interest in things

00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:28.120
like that. They were all sports guys or business

00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:32.010
guys and still are. good guys, but I was the

00:01:32.010 --> 00:01:34.870
curious one. I always wanted to seek the truth.

00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:38.450
I wanted to know the truth. And in 1977, I had

00:01:38.450 --> 00:01:41.450
a near -death experience that revealed it to

00:01:41.450 --> 00:01:45.349
me. I had no idea anybody could go to Infinite

00:01:45.349 --> 00:01:48.269
Mind or God or whatever you want to call it and

00:01:48.269 --> 00:01:51.150
come back and talk about it. And this was before

00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:54.109
I knew People were having near -death experiences.

00:01:54.129 --> 00:01:56.290
I didn't know how to put it into context with

00:01:56.290 --> 00:02:01.430
anything. I was 29 1977 I knew what I saw I knew

00:02:01.430 --> 00:02:04.430
what happened But and I feel like the luckiest

00:02:04.430 --> 00:02:06.349
person on the planet because I got a trip there

00:02:06.349 --> 00:02:09.250
and back And that's what this show is all about.

00:02:09.610 --> 00:02:13.270
That's why round trip is in our title. Well in

00:02:13.270 --> 00:02:18.069
1977 that was about within a couple of years

00:02:18.069 --> 00:02:21.969
of the time that the phrase near -death experience

00:02:21.969 --> 00:02:26.409
was coined by Dr. Moody, as you know. So I'm

00:02:26.409 --> 00:02:29.030
guessing you had no idea what happened to you.

00:02:29.310 --> 00:02:33.030
So how did you process it? Well, it was challenging.

00:02:34.689 --> 00:02:38.129
I went through a week of escalating psychic ability

00:02:38.129 --> 00:02:42.370
that I could not turn off or understand. I felt

00:02:42.370 --> 00:02:45.310
these protective monitors, guardian angels, something

00:02:45.310 --> 00:02:48.310
watching me, something aware. Didn't see them,

00:02:48.590 --> 00:02:52.030
could feel them. After a week of this insane

00:02:52.030 --> 00:02:54.729
escalating psychic ability that just literally

00:02:54.729 --> 00:02:56.610
scared the hell out of me. I've never been so

00:02:56.610 --> 00:03:00.349
scared in my life. At the same time, I never

00:03:00.349 --> 00:03:04.560
felt so enlightened, so protected. spiritually

00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.000
guided in some way. I knew I was going somewhere,

00:03:07.099 --> 00:03:09.580
I didn't know what, but the things I just mentioned

00:03:09.580 --> 00:03:13.879
were not normal life as a musician. That changed

00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.300
overnight. Because all of a sudden, I'm picking

00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:19.240
up everything about people around me. Someone

00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:21.080
said, I'll be over at your place in a while.

00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:24.219
I'd look at the clock and jump to 228. I know

00:03:24.219 --> 00:03:25.699
that they're going to be walked through that

00:03:25.699 --> 00:03:30.020
door at 228. This went on for a solid week. I

00:03:30.020 --> 00:03:32.219
could not cut off. The whole book I wrote of

00:03:32.219 --> 00:03:35.900
Second Eternity covers a lot of these episodes.

00:03:36.780 --> 00:03:40.939
And finally, after the end of a week, I was terrified.

00:03:40.979 --> 00:03:44.360
I couldn't take it anymore. I was racing down

00:03:44.360 --> 00:03:47.080
Guadalupe Street here in Austin, Texas, crying,

00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:51.819
scared, terrified, but still mind blown over

00:03:51.819 --> 00:03:53.800
what I could feel because everybody walked by

00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:56.039
to pick up everything in their life. What I couldn't

00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:58.939
do is turn it off or know why it was happening.

00:03:59.659 --> 00:04:02.500
And all of a sudden, in the middle of this incredible

00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:05.919
panic and fear, I closed my eyes and started

00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:09.060
praying, and, God, I can't take this help. I

00:04:09.060 --> 00:04:11.759
know you're there. All of a sudden, I felt this

00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:15.139
incredible warmth immediately. It's mid -February.

00:04:15.659 --> 00:04:18.040
And I look up, and there's this huge light shining

00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:21.120
down on me. And I look around, and none of these

00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.259
people who were witnessing me, because I kind

00:04:24.259 --> 00:04:26.699
of had a circle around me, I was acting rather

00:04:26.699 --> 00:04:30.000
strange, you know, crying and praying. And they

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.959
didn't see the light? No, and it was amazing

00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.319
to me, and I didn't care. You guys may see it

00:04:37.319 --> 00:04:41.139
or not. So I looked back up, and I turned to

00:04:41.139 --> 00:04:44.600
do a crystal table about this thick, and the

00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:49.939
palms of seven grayish, white -robed beings were

00:04:49.939 --> 00:04:52.680
sitting around the table without any chairs,

00:04:52.860 --> 00:04:56.720
and their hands were shining this light down

00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.720
on me. And they said, do you trust us? And I

00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:02.560
said, man, I don't know what's been going on.

00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.120
I've been going through these extremes. I'm thinking,

00:05:04.379 --> 00:05:07.600
shh, do you trust us? They asked that a time

00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:11.139
or two. And finally I said, yeah, because I felt

00:05:11.139 --> 00:05:14.360
protected and warm. The fear had vanished immediately.

00:05:15.100 --> 00:05:16.879
I didn't know what I was trusting them for, but

00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.040
it was better than what I had been going through,

00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.180
you know, the panic button. And so I said, yeah,

00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:26.470
long story short, within... Second or two, I

00:05:26.470 --> 00:05:30.110
was hit head on by a speeding car. I saw my body

00:05:30.110 --> 00:05:32.709
from above the car get tumbled over by the car,

00:05:32.769 --> 00:05:35.790
hit the damn bumper and the windshield. And then

00:05:35.790 --> 00:05:39.350
all of a sudden I'm outside my body and I'm expanding

00:05:39.350 --> 00:05:44.009
like a balloon. The surface going out in all

00:05:44.009 --> 00:05:47.430
directions, not like an arrow, just like a balloon.

00:05:48.050 --> 00:05:52.790
I instantly realized, instantly, that's the way

00:05:52.790 --> 00:05:57.689
souls leave the body. they go out like a balloon

00:05:57.689 --> 00:06:01.449
in all directions. Gary, I'm so sorry to interrupt.

00:06:01.490 --> 00:06:04.170
I just want to clarify something that I think

00:06:04.170 --> 00:06:06.829
I've missed. Sure. I thought you were talking

00:06:06.829 --> 00:06:10.189
about the week after your NDE. Was this prior

00:06:10.189 --> 00:06:13.610
to your NDE? This is leading up to it. Leading

00:06:13.610 --> 00:06:16.769
up to it. Okay. Thank you for clarifying. Keep

00:06:16.769 --> 00:06:19.910
going. Yeah, it was in the end of January 77,

00:06:20.329 --> 00:06:23.290
things started happening strange. And by February

00:06:23.290 --> 00:06:28.230
7, 1977, when I actually had the experience and

00:06:28.230 --> 00:06:31.470
went through ultimate terror and then ultimate

00:06:31.470 --> 00:06:34.290
joy and thrill and light and seeing these monitors

00:06:34.290 --> 00:06:37.790
and they're talking to me and I'm freaking out

00:06:37.790 --> 00:06:40.250
and they finally say do you trust us and I said

00:06:40.250 --> 00:06:44.069
yeah and like I said I was hit head on by a speeding

00:06:44.069 --> 00:06:47.670
car and spanning outward and instantly realized

00:06:47.670 --> 00:06:51.629
that's how souls come in too. So I had no idea

00:06:51.629 --> 00:06:54.560
pretty soon thereafter who I was. It was pure

00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:58.240
sensation, and it was pure beauty. It was fearless.

00:06:59.100 --> 00:07:01.740
I felt protected, had no idea where I was going,

00:07:01.740 --> 00:07:06.160
but the ride there was fun. And I wasn't in time

00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:09.500
and space, and it was hard to tell the difference

00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:14.879
between sequentiality and simultaneousness, because

00:07:14.879 --> 00:07:18.279
that's what we see in time and space. Things

00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:21.279
are separated by time and space. But out there,

00:07:21.529 --> 00:07:24.870
It's a whole different ballgame. Well, you mentioned

00:07:24.870 --> 00:07:28.649
something about the ride there. What was that

00:07:28.649 --> 00:07:32.170
all about? Don't leave anything out. Tell me,

00:07:32.170 --> 00:07:34.589
tell me step by step and fill in the details.

00:07:35.569 --> 00:07:38.029
That's this expansion I'm going through. As I

00:07:38.029 --> 00:07:40.670
expanded, I started seeing planets, the Earth,

00:07:41.350 --> 00:07:44.110
the whole solar system, galaxies going within

00:07:44.110 --> 00:07:47.350
me. Now my body's down there on Guadalupe Street

00:07:47.350 --> 00:07:50.370
in Austin, Texas, but my psyche, my soul, whatever.

00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:54.350
It's expanding. Then it went through the edge

00:07:54.350 --> 00:07:57.470
of the universe. I know that tickles physicist

00:07:57.470 --> 00:08:00.870
minds, but that's what it felt like. And when

00:08:00.870 --> 00:08:04.750
I went through this edge of this universe, I

00:08:04.750 --> 00:08:07.069
went through a level of consciousness that seemed

00:08:07.069 --> 00:08:10.990
to define itself as the colors, because it was

00:08:10.990 --> 00:08:14.529
a level of consciousness that I perceived that

00:08:14.529 --> 00:08:19.050
we come through and it gives us the ability through

00:08:19.050 --> 00:08:23.389
our senses our hearing, our thought, our brains,

00:08:23.529 --> 00:08:26.470
our consciousness to understand who we are and

00:08:26.470 --> 00:08:30.009
where we came from. We go through that before

00:08:30.009 --> 00:08:33.629
we enter into the physical universe, and again,

00:08:33.629 --> 00:08:35.970
collapsing down to the mother at birth. Well,

00:08:35.970 --> 00:08:39.129
I was going the other way. I broke through the

00:08:39.129 --> 00:08:41.549
universe, broke through the colors, had no idea

00:08:41.549 --> 00:08:45.169
who I was. Pure sensation. And then I saw, wow,

00:08:45.230 --> 00:08:48.950
that's the universe I came out of, and there's

00:08:48.950 --> 00:08:52.250
billions of them. There's infinite universes

00:08:52.250 --> 00:08:55.750
and they seem to roll up into a big Tunnel of

00:08:55.750 --> 00:08:58.730
light that's the best explanation very common

00:08:58.730 --> 00:09:01.710
term and it felt like that I'm going through

00:09:01.710 --> 00:09:06.190
this big circling silverish white clouds like

00:09:06.190 --> 00:09:09.470
a clown in a balloon not aware of who I am pure

00:09:09.470 --> 00:09:13.629
sensation no fear no doubt and then all of a

00:09:13.629 --> 00:09:15.690
sudden I come out the other side of this tunnel

00:09:15.690 --> 00:09:20.820
and I'm in this infinite blue void that I instantly

00:09:20.820 --> 00:09:26.220
realized as the infinite mind of God. Completely

00:09:26.220 --> 00:09:30.220
unbiased. Either it was here and everything's

00:09:30.220 --> 00:09:33.679
possible, which is the case, or it wouldn't be

00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:36.580
here and nothing would exist. There's no in between.

00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:40.840
And the thing that astonished me is the unbiased.

00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.320
It's not good or bad. It's infinite creativity.

00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:48.729
Humans are biased. Humans are good or bad. not

00:09:48.729 --> 00:09:52.210
nature. And so as I'm observing this, I feel

00:09:52.210 --> 00:09:54.970
like I was there for eternity. That's why I wrote

00:09:54.970 --> 00:09:58.169
the book, A Second in Eternity, because it went

00:09:58.169 --> 00:10:00.529
on and on. I felt like I was getting the whole

00:10:00.529 --> 00:10:02.990
tour through Infinite Mind and all these possibilities

00:10:02.990 --> 00:10:06.190
over time and space. And then all of a sudden,

00:10:06.190 --> 00:10:10.210
I felt like I was witnessing it instead of being

00:10:10.210 --> 00:10:11.970
on the merry -go -round. I'm all of a sudden

00:10:11.970 --> 00:10:15.710
off of it, witnessing it, and I'm being pulled

00:10:15.710 --> 00:10:19.269
back to somewhere. And I go back through this

00:10:19.269 --> 00:10:22.409
tunnel of light and come out the other side and

00:10:22.409 --> 00:10:25.830
come through these colors and enter this universe

00:10:25.830 --> 00:10:29.210
still with no idea who I am, but I felt like,

00:10:29.389 --> 00:10:32.370
wow, I must have a connection here. Something's

00:10:32.370 --> 00:10:35.570
pulling me somewhere. And the closer I got to

00:10:35.570 --> 00:10:39.730
this galaxy, this solar system, this planet,

00:10:40.409 --> 00:10:43.750
the more I felt like I had some connection. And

00:10:43.750 --> 00:10:48.309
right before I came back into my body, I saw

00:10:48.309 --> 00:10:51.230
three series of pictures. One was about everything

00:10:51.230 --> 00:10:54.710
we're going through now. All the chaos, extremes,

00:10:55.169 --> 00:10:58.809
political. The other was the other side of this

00:10:58.809 --> 00:11:01.889
chaos as we get into the age of Aquarius. Because

00:11:01.889 --> 00:11:03.730
what we're seeing now is all the holes in the

00:11:03.730 --> 00:11:06.669
boat so we can fix them. Hopefully now we're

00:11:06.669 --> 00:11:09.639
getting the duct tape to fix it. And that's the

00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:11.820
second series of pictures where a beautiful life

00:11:11.820 --> 00:11:13.820
in the future, you know, high -tech, beautiful,

00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.720
mankind's cooled out, no war. I don't know if

00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.220
that's a dream, but I really think that's where

00:11:19.220 --> 00:11:21.539
we're headed. And I don't know if there's a million

00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:25.220
people on the planet or 25 billion at that time,

00:11:25.500 --> 00:11:28.220
because every day breaking news affects something.

00:11:29.299 --> 00:11:31.720
And people ask me, so what did you see? Look

00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.759
at breaking news every day. But the universe

00:11:34.759 --> 00:11:37.500
is showing us our flaws so we can fix them period

00:11:37.500 --> 00:11:41.259
period period So we should be grateful that we're

00:11:41.259 --> 00:11:44.580
seeing the holes in the boat Then I saw my body

00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:48.700
and jump back into my body leap to my feet The

00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:52.259
driver was hovering over me terrified. He just

00:11:52.259 --> 00:11:56.159
ran into me The car is all banged up people are

00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:58.299
screaming hard and I jumped to my feet. I didn't

00:11:58.299 --> 00:12:02.019
feel it Not even scratch didn't get hurt You

00:12:02.019 --> 00:12:04.940
looked at the car and I looked at the people's

00:12:04.940 --> 00:12:07.240
harness. I just wanted to go home. I wasn't hurt.

00:12:07.299 --> 00:12:09.879
Couldn't deal with it. This is too heavy. What

00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:11.779
I just went through was heaven and back. And

00:12:11.779 --> 00:12:14.159
now I got to deal with all this crap. Wait a

00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.700
minute. So as soon as I started to walk home,

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.080
people said, no, stay, man. The cops, the ambulance,

00:12:19.259 --> 00:12:20.879
the police, they'll be here in a minute. They

00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.759
need to clear it up. And I thought, yeah, I don't

00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:26.379
want them chasing me through alleys, running

00:12:26.379 --> 00:12:28.700
through the city. Like you did something wrong.

00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:31.440
Yeah, right, you know, so, okay, I'll wait. I'll

00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.259
explain it and I'll go home. Good luck. When

00:12:35.259 --> 00:12:37.740
they came, they're looking for a bud -spattered

00:12:37.740 --> 00:12:40.879
body and there's not one and everybody's pointing

00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:42.700
to me because I'm over there talking to all these

00:12:42.700 --> 00:12:45.600
people, asking if they saw these monitors and

00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.840
they just think, man, this guy's completely crazy

00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:51.039
because what they saw was someone walking down

00:12:51.039 --> 00:12:52.659
the street, running down the street, crying,

00:12:52.899 --> 00:12:56.080
screaming, praying, stopping, talking to something

00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.679
that ain't there. A second later getting hit

00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:01.679
by a car and then just jumping up like nothing

00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:04.320
happened because that's basically what they saw

00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.820
and that's basically what happened except for

00:13:06.820 --> 00:13:10.940
where I went. They couldn't see that. I've got

00:13:10.940 --> 00:13:13.080
a bunch of questions before we move on. Sure,

00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:16.059
man. Thank you. That was a good explanation.

00:13:16.679 --> 00:13:20.059
Where to start? You talked about this infinite

00:13:20.059 --> 00:13:23.240
blue void that you felt like was God or being

00:13:23.240 --> 00:13:27.649
with God. What did it feel like? What did it

00:13:27.649 --> 00:13:31.789
look like? It looked like infinite blue sky.

00:13:32.690 --> 00:13:36.110
In other words, one color, one tone, one infinity,

00:13:36.330 --> 00:13:40.669
one infinite mind. But every molecule in that

00:13:40.669 --> 00:13:45.029
blue sky was a different possibility. A planet,

00:13:45.289 --> 00:13:48.669
a galaxy, a person, a cricket. I didn't know

00:13:48.669 --> 00:13:50.549
how to break it all up, but I could see that

00:13:50.549 --> 00:13:55.379
there was infinite possibilities. One might think,

00:13:55.419 --> 00:13:58.639
yeah, some manifest and some don't. Well, that's

00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:03.940
probably true in one way of looking at it. But

00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:05.799
everything that ever happens, everything that

00:14:05.799 --> 00:14:08.240
manifests is nothing more than infinite mind

00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:12.200
seeing itself in different ways. Atoms, molecules,

00:14:12.419 --> 00:14:15.450
you and me. Quick break to thank our newest sponsor

00:14:15.450 --> 00:14:20.169

00:14:23.529 --> 00:14:26.950
loss of a job, sometimes we need someone to talk

00:14:26.950 --> 00:14:29.789

right help. at the right price. Thanks Rilla.

00:15:14.370 --> 00:15:16.470
I mean we really are part of infinite mind seeing

00:15:16.470 --> 00:15:21.009
itself and that's why there's a physical place.

00:15:21.149 --> 00:15:24.110
Infinite mind thought well let's go stir up some

00:15:24.110 --> 00:15:28.129
stuff. I mean I'm over simplifying it. Chicken,

00:15:28.370 --> 00:15:31.049
eggs, what preceded what first, well that's the

00:15:31.049 --> 00:15:33.350
sequential. Infinite mind has always been here,

00:15:33.350 --> 00:15:37.409
always was. Maybe this universe is only 13 billion

00:15:37.409 --> 00:15:40.899
years old but souls aren't. Consciousness, it

00:15:40.899 --> 00:15:44.919
always existed. It's just now we're in this galaxy,

00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.179
in this planet, in this universe. At that point,

00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.480
what makes you feel like you were with God? Everything.

00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:56.899
Were there emotions attached? Fear, happiness,

00:15:57.200 --> 00:16:00.919
joy, anything? Oh, ecstasy beyond comprehension.

00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.460
Beyond what the body and brain can absorb. That's

00:16:04.460 --> 00:16:06.840
why people who have NDEs leave their body and

00:16:06.840 --> 00:16:10.120
their brain back on the planet. Because it can't

00:16:10.120 --> 00:16:13.019
handle that it can't process it your soul can

00:16:13.019 --> 00:16:16.340
your higher consciousness can and when you come

00:16:16.340 --> 00:16:18.600
back each kind of can put it together as most

00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.059
people do with any Intense experience in their

00:16:22.059 --> 00:16:25.740
life good bad or ugly But yeah, it was a beautiful

00:16:25.740 --> 00:16:28.620
beautiful beautiful You said that you learned

00:16:28.620 --> 00:16:31.059
about who we are and where we came from. Can

00:16:31.059 --> 00:16:34.980
you expound on that? Yeah, it's like every creation

00:16:34.980 --> 00:16:37.580
is again nothing more than infinite mind seeing

00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:41.659
itself. An infinite mind created all these souls,

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:44.740
created this universe. In fact, our souls, your

00:16:44.740 --> 00:16:47.559
soul, my soul, all these souls that come here

00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:52.139
helped co -create this universe. We're not just

00:16:52.139 --> 00:16:55.139
participants after it got formed. Our consciousness

00:16:55.139 --> 00:16:58.279
helped make this planet be where it is. Probably

00:16:58.279 --> 00:17:01.100
several other planets throughout the galaxies

00:17:01.549 --> 00:17:04.210
I believe there's life in a lot of places. They

00:17:04.210 --> 00:17:07.910
ain't like ours. Who says it couldn't be mercury

00:17:07.910 --> 00:17:10.349
based instead of carbon based? I mean, it may

00:17:10.349 --> 00:17:12.390
sound strange, but maybe they're pressure and

00:17:12.390 --> 00:17:16.150
chemistry. Who knows? There's so many possibilities,

00:17:16.950 --> 00:17:20.009
but they all manifest by infinite mind seeing

00:17:20.009 --> 00:17:23.410
itself, you, me, and so forth. We also get to

00:17:23.410 --> 00:17:27.869
experience individuality and choice. So we don't...

00:17:27.579 --> 00:17:30.420
feel imprisoned by infinite mind, we're not a

00:17:30.420 --> 00:17:32.839
puppet where we're given free will, the most

00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:37.759
beautiful gift souls come here with, because

00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.680
we get to decide how we see everything and interpret

00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:44.519
everything, including our situation at all times.

00:17:44.859 --> 00:17:47.299
Let's talk about free will for a minute. This

00:17:47.299 --> 00:17:50.660
is something that personally I feel like is just

00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:55.380
one of those eternal laws of the universe, okay?

00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:59.650
It just like gravity or like God or like whatever

00:17:59.650 --> 00:18:03.869
terms we want to use. Free will is at the center

00:18:03.869 --> 00:18:07.069
of so much of what happens. A lot of people just

00:18:07.069 --> 00:18:10.509
don't understand this. Tell me a little bit more

00:18:10.509 --> 00:18:13.430
about what you learned about free will. Why did

00:18:13.430 --> 00:18:17.369
you just bring that up? I think free will really

00:18:17.369 --> 00:18:21.630
occurred to me in its empowerment after my near

00:18:21.630 --> 00:18:25.819
-death experience. I was a musician. I started

00:18:25.819 --> 00:18:29.319
playing guitar way before The Beatles came out

00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:33.240
in 1963. Never thought I'd be a professional

00:18:33.240 --> 00:18:36.819
musician. Conscience objector in college after

00:18:36.819 --> 00:18:40.079
Vietnam War. I didn't want to serve. I served

00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:41.980
as a conscience objector and then started playing

00:18:41.980 --> 00:18:43.940
music. It was all defense work. I didn't want

00:18:43.940 --> 00:18:46.980
to work in the defense industry. Can you refresh

00:18:46.980 --> 00:18:50.720
me on your question? It's about free will. Oh,

00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:54.250
free will, yeah. Yeah. I realized at that time

00:18:54.250 --> 00:18:58.009
when I saw Infinite Mind, and especially when

00:18:58.009 --> 00:19:01.589
I came back as a limited package dual human being,

00:19:01.690 --> 00:19:04.769
we all have limitations, that's a big separation

00:19:04.769 --> 00:19:09.549
between being part of Infinite Mind, seeing it,

00:19:09.670 --> 00:19:11.769
witnessing it, however you want to define it,

00:19:11.849 --> 00:19:14.990
however I choose to define it, the essence of

00:19:14.990 --> 00:19:17.650
it, with no separation and infinite creativity,

00:19:17.849 --> 00:19:20.390
and then being back as human. but pimples and

00:19:20.390 --> 00:19:25.750
BOs and limited. So free will to me is the beautiful

00:19:25.750 --> 00:19:29.890
gift of the universe to us because we may not

00:19:29.890 --> 00:19:33.150
be able to change our situation, our genes, history,

00:19:33.630 --> 00:19:36.990
blah, blah, blah, billions of things. But free

00:19:36.990 --> 00:19:40.549
will always allows us to change the way we look

00:19:40.549 --> 00:19:45.289
at ourselves or the situation or anything because

00:19:45.289 --> 00:19:48.299
we get to choose how we look at it. And if you

00:19:48.299 --> 00:19:50.420
don't know that, eventually you discover it some

00:19:50.420 --> 00:19:53.000
time or another through some lifetime. It's inevitable.

00:19:53.920 --> 00:19:56.420
It's inevitable. So yeah, free will gives us

00:19:56.420 --> 00:20:00.940
the ability, should we choose to use it, to realize,

00:20:01.160 --> 00:20:03.099
okay, I can't change anything up to this second,

00:20:03.119 --> 00:20:05.700
so don't drive myself crazy. Number one. Number

00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:08.839
two. I'm going to use free will to see how to

00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.000
get the most mileage out of this particular situation

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.460
right here, right now. And worrying and doubting

00:20:15.460 --> 00:20:18.160
and being frustrated and looking for a complaint

00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.859
department and topping out, they ain't going

00:20:20.859 --> 00:20:23.859
to solve that problem. The only way to really

00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:26.220
solve that problem is free will. Yeah, I'll tackle

00:20:26.220 --> 00:20:29.099
it. And part of that is free will to make your

00:20:29.099 --> 00:20:33.519
own choices, your own behavior, as well as how

00:20:33.519 --> 00:20:36.640
you feel like you were just talking about. How

00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:39.619
does that apply to as you put it the universe?

00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:43.359
Because I have a lot of people on the show that

00:20:43.359 --> 00:20:46.220
well from all walks of life from all religions

00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:49.339
and no religions This doesn't come up all that

00:20:49.339 --> 00:20:51.920
often, but I think it's such an interesting topic

00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:56.140
It's not talked about for example a lot in scripture

00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:58.920
And so a lot of people just don't know what to

00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:02.339
make of it. You've been out of the body to this

00:21:02.339 --> 00:21:06.059
other sphere Give us an idea of how does it apply

00:21:06.059 --> 00:21:09.220
there? What do we have choices about? The most

00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:12.900
important thing how we see ourselves life this

00:21:12.900 --> 00:21:16.140
moment That's the most important thing and that's

00:21:16.140 --> 00:21:18.079
the best use of free will because everything

00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:20.440
we can't change Everything up to this second

00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:22.940
and we're not sure what's happening in five minutes.

00:21:22.940 --> 00:21:26.799
We may have the best of plans But we only live

00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:29.920
in the here and now so if we start exercising

00:21:29.920 --> 00:21:34.089
free will to be empowered here and now Just like

00:21:34.089 --> 00:21:36.769
if you practice golf enough, you become a good

00:21:36.769 --> 00:21:40.269
golfer. Now if you want to be a golfer and never

00:21:40.269 --> 00:21:43.630
go practice, you just have a fantasy, a hope,

00:21:43.690 --> 00:21:47.109
and that's fine and dandy, but there's a difference

00:21:47.109 --> 00:21:49.930
between wishing you were a golfer and learning

00:21:49.930 --> 00:21:54.769
how to swing the club. Free will allows us to

00:21:54.769 --> 00:21:57.329
re -adapt, to continue to grow, to learn, to

00:21:57.329 --> 00:22:00.029
put everything in a winning learning scenario,

00:22:00.210 --> 00:22:03.119
the good, the bad, and the ugly. We can learn

00:22:03.119 --> 00:22:05.579
off the home runs. We can learn off the strikeouts.

00:22:05.579 --> 00:22:07.720
We can learn off our mistakes. We can learn off

00:22:07.720 --> 00:22:10.940
hitting the target. And we can learn from missing

00:22:10.940 --> 00:22:14.079
the target how to recalibrate. And I learned,

00:22:14.660 --> 00:22:17.660
because I went through so much depression. I'm

00:22:17.660 --> 00:22:21.740
bipolar. I've felt that since I was a young teenager.

00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:25.160
Finally was clarified in psychiatric hospitals.

00:22:25.440 --> 00:22:29.200
But from 1977 forward, I started learning to

00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:32.019
be the happiest person on the planet. Because

00:22:32.019 --> 00:22:34.720
I recognize free will. Well, I get to look at

00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.200
things anyway, and why shouldn't I? I just saw

00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:39.400
infinite mind. It can look at everything any

00:22:39.400 --> 00:22:42.640
way it wants to. Why shouldn't I tap into that

00:22:42.640 --> 00:22:45.140
freedom and creativity? Why should I carry this

00:22:45.140 --> 00:22:48.440
burden of guilt and shame and iniquity? Why should

00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:51.940
anybody? And we do it because we don't think

00:22:51.940 --> 00:22:56.539
about letting go, turning on, meditating, asking

00:22:56.539 --> 00:22:58.839
the universe to help us. You have to ask the

00:22:58.839 --> 00:23:02.220
universe. to help you. You have to ask your guides.

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:05.640
They know the rule. They do not have the right

00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:08.619
to come in and just trample all over your free

00:23:08.619 --> 00:23:12.599
will. Who are our guides? Or what are our guides?

00:23:13.359 --> 00:23:17.799
I saw a group in 1977 that called themselves

00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:21.559
the Monitors as I explained, do you trust us,

00:23:21.660 --> 00:23:23.579
protect me, took me to heaven and back, brought

00:23:23.579 --> 00:23:27.380
me back unscathed, and nine months later explained

00:23:27.380 --> 00:23:30.920
to me why. because I was curious now 10 years

00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:34.359
ago 12 years ago I started thinking okay because

00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:36.359
I talked to those guys a lot but they're not

00:23:36.359 --> 00:23:40.779
around they had a specific duty just like everything

00:23:40.779 --> 00:23:43.839
in this planet goes from amoeba to to us and

00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:47.359
different duties and responsibilities and characteristics

00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:49.619
there's just that much on the other side too

00:23:49.619 --> 00:23:53.140
if not more it's just not separated and defined

00:23:53.140 --> 00:23:57.200
as clearly as it is in time and space But the

00:23:57.200 --> 00:23:59.680
essence of everything's on that side, too. So

00:23:59.680 --> 00:24:03.000
yeah, free will allows you to readapt, relearn,

00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.480
change your structure, change the way you look

00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:09.180
at the situation, because that's always where

00:24:09.180 --> 00:24:11.440
power is. It ain't the situation. It's how you

00:24:11.440 --> 00:24:14.299
look at it. And I learned going through so much

00:24:14.299 --> 00:24:18.299
depression, and it was intense, to love myself

00:24:18.299 --> 00:24:21.140
and to make the best deal out of myself I can.

00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:24.700
As a musician, I had a crappy voice. I knew I'd

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:27.740
never get a record deal. I just didn't want to

00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:31.279
be an expendable sideman. And I asked my guide

00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:35.240
to help me. And long story short, in 1980, I

00:24:35.240 --> 00:24:37.480
started teaching myself piano. I was off the

00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:40.940
road. Spent four or five years banging on the

00:24:40.940 --> 00:24:44.160
piano 12 hours a day. Talked my way into some

00:24:44.160 --> 00:24:49.200
piano bars about 84, 85. Not that good of a singer,

00:24:49.259 --> 00:24:52.500
not that good of a player. But as you can tell,

00:24:52.700 --> 00:24:57.150
Eric, I can talk. I became a good entertainer.

00:24:57.329 --> 00:24:59.829
And for the rest of my life, I played solo. It's

00:24:59.829 --> 00:25:02.069
what you can do. That's my point. It's what you

00:25:02.069 --> 00:25:05.250
can do. That's free will. Cool. All right. I

00:25:05.250 --> 00:25:07.349
want to talk more about the accident itself.

00:25:08.430 --> 00:25:11.789
Okay. Were you in the street? Were you in a crosswalk?

00:25:11.930 --> 00:25:17.849
Where did you get hit? I was pacing down a sidewalk

00:25:17.849 --> 00:25:21.369
and there were some cars there and some empty

00:25:21.369 --> 00:25:26.190
parking spots. And to be honest with you, I raced

00:25:26.190 --> 00:25:30.250
into the street for reasons that would be too

00:25:30.250 --> 00:25:32.569
complicated to understand and the car was there

00:25:32.569 --> 00:25:37.009
and it hit me. Okay. And I felt from the second

00:25:37.009 --> 00:25:41.190
it hit me, I felt outside my body so I never

00:25:41.190 --> 00:25:43.710
felt the impact, never felt pain and never even

00:25:43.710 --> 00:25:45.990
got a scratch. They couldn't even keep me at

00:25:45.990 --> 00:25:48.170
the hospital, emergency room, couldn't keep me

00:25:48.170 --> 00:25:51.009
there. I've had other people talk about that

00:25:51.009 --> 00:25:54.079
even if they did get hurt. Some people that were

00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:58.579
in horrible car accidents, for example, car flew

00:25:58.579 --> 00:26:01.079
off a cliff, someone's telling me about this,

00:26:01.319 --> 00:26:05.220
and they felt like they left their body prior

00:26:05.220 --> 00:26:09.140
to the car smashing into what was below the cliff,

00:26:09.900 --> 00:26:13.119
right? Then their body hit, physically died,

00:26:13.359 --> 00:26:15.480
were brought back, you know, through doctors

00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.400
and everything else. So it kind of sounds like

00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.059
your situation was the same way. Only you were

00:26:22.059 --> 00:26:25.079
also spared the pain of all the physical hurt.

00:26:26.160 --> 00:26:29.819
None. Didn't feel a thing. It's amazing. Oh,

00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:33.980
they couldn't. Doctors, medics, my family, police,

00:26:34.259 --> 00:26:36.740
ambulance. They're all wondering, how the hell

00:26:36.740 --> 00:26:40.160
are you standing up, man? That car smashed it.

00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:42.599
Shit, you know, excuse my French, but it was.

00:26:43.619 --> 00:26:47.680
And that was not an issue to me. Not at all.

00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:50.259
and they couldn't understand every time they'd

00:26:50.259 --> 00:26:54.160
ask me, what happened? And I tried to explain

00:26:54.160 --> 00:26:57.980
where I just went, and the week prior, they didn't

00:26:57.980 --> 00:27:01.099
want to hear it. Made no sense, and I could understand.

00:27:01.900 --> 00:27:05.380
No, and even worse back then. They knew less

00:27:05.380 --> 00:27:07.920
about it back then than they know now. How did

00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:11.259
this whole thing change your life? You went from

00:27:11.259 --> 00:27:15.609
20 -year -old Gary that was doing who knows what

00:27:15.609 --> 00:27:17.710
what you do the next day how did this affect

00:27:17.710 --> 00:27:22.190
you well i was uh in jail the next day actually

00:27:22.190 --> 00:27:25.450
they uh took the emergency room they couldn't

00:27:25.450 --> 00:27:29.150
keep me i wasn't hurt they sent a guy in who

00:27:29.150 --> 00:27:31.690
was a psychiatrist knew all about him i said

00:27:31.690 --> 00:27:35.490
man can i go home nope we can't let you go they

00:27:35.490 --> 00:27:37.450
had to get an order of protective custody it

00:27:37.450 --> 00:27:39.690
took two days for my brother to sign meanwhile

00:27:39.690 --> 00:27:42.579
they took me to jail They stuck me in jail and

00:27:42.579 --> 00:27:44.920
all the other prisoners in different cells. I

00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:47.880
couldn't quite see them. Asking me how I got

00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:50.960
here, what I did. And I said, man, I just jumped

00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:53.619
past time and space into infinite mind and came

00:27:53.619 --> 00:27:55.859
back and I was hit by a speeding car. I didn't

00:27:55.859 --> 00:28:00.019
feel it. What? What law were you accused of breaking?

00:28:00.980 --> 00:28:04.680
Assault. Because when I pushed the driver back,

00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:08.309
he kept trying to hold me. you're hurt man you're

00:28:08.309 --> 00:28:10.410
in shock and just get away you don't know what

00:28:10.410 --> 00:28:14.170
i just went through so i tried to push him away

00:28:14.170 --> 00:28:17.950
a little bit and he stumbled down and fell down

00:28:17.950 --> 00:28:20.950
and then i tried to help him back up i planned

00:28:20.950 --> 00:28:23.289
to kind of hug him and kiss him and i think i

00:28:23.289 --> 00:28:28.109
did like jesus that blew his mind and he's the

00:28:28.109 --> 00:28:30.950
driver of the car and he hit me so he filed charges

00:28:30.950 --> 00:28:34.589
to cover his But I didn't even know about these

00:28:34.589 --> 00:28:36.609
charges until I was at the hospital and cops

00:28:36.609 --> 00:28:39.490
came in. They told me about this. He's filing

00:28:39.490 --> 00:28:42.230
charges against you. And when they released me

00:28:42.230 --> 00:28:45.930
from the hospital, they took me to jail. Assault

00:28:45.930 --> 00:28:50.829
and public lunacy. They can actually arrest people

00:28:50.829 --> 00:28:53.329
on public lunacy charges, I guess. I didn't give

00:28:53.329 --> 00:28:56.779
a damn. I didn't care. I've been to heaven whatever

00:28:56.779 --> 00:28:59.079
you guys got to do, you know call my friend my

00:28:59.079 --> 00:29:02.019
brother put me in Just put me in a cell by myself,

00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:04.880
please. I don't want to deal with anybody And

00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:06.680
like I said when I was in jail, I was talking

00:29:06.680 --> 00:29:09.940
to jailers about their cases and their law. They

00:29:09.940 --> 00:29:13.059
how do you know that? I knew everything right

00:29:13.059 --> 00:29:16.160
then and then another Policeman from the jail

00:29:16.160 --> 00:29:18.779
came up and looked in myself said you are not

00:29:18.779 --> 00:29:21.480
a lawyer You cannot give these people legal advice.

00:29:21.480 --> 00:29:24.059
You either shut up or we're gonna put you in

00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:26.900
Solitary confinement and that didn't sound like

00:29:26.900 --> 00:29:31.359
fun. So I shut up which was kind of relief Really

00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:33.660
because I'd have talked all night. I can talk

00:29:33.660 --> 00:29:36.740
as you can tell Okay, so you got out of jail

00:29:36.740 --> 00:29:40.220
Then what you had had a lot of depression before?

00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:43.140
Well, they took me from jail to a psychiatric

00:29:43.140 --> 00:29:46.619
hospital and you were there for a while About

00:29:46.619 --> 00:29:51.200
ten days. Yeah. Okay, then what then I got released

00:29:52.059 --> 00:29:54.799
And after 10 days, they take you before a board

00:29:54.799 --> 00:29:57.200
of psychiatrists and nurses that worked on your

00:29:57.200 --> 00:29:59.779
floor and see if you're okay and whether they

00:29:59.779 --> 00:30:02.220
should seek another 10 -day mandatory commitment,

00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:04.700
because that's what the court ruled, or let me

00:30:04.700 --> 00:30:07.539
go. And I told all the psychiatrists, I ain't

00:30:07.539 --> 00:30:09.599
changed my story. This is what happened. You

00:30:09.599 --> 00:30:11.980
people, psychiatrists, you're doctors. You ought

00:30:11.980 --> 00:30:15.500
to be studying this. Look at your name, psychiatrist,

00:30:15.500 --> 00:30:19.160
you know. I had a psychic experience. And they

00:30:19.160 --> 00:30:23.990
do now. But I don't need those details. I'm curious,

00:30:24.049 --> 00:30:27.329
how did your life change over the next few months

00:30:27.329 --> 00:30:29.990
and years? What was different about Gary than

00:30:29.990 --> 00:30:33.410
before? It took me a while to get back on my

00:30:33.410 --> 00:30:37.150
feet. I didn't discuss this with anybody other

00:30:37.150 --> 00:30:40.789
than the few people who knew, family, roommates.

00:30:41.170 --> 00:30:46.309
It was too overwhelming. And over time, I started

00:30:46.309 --> 00:30:48.609
understanding more, and I think I mentioned a

00:30:48.609 --> 00:30:51.789
while ago, this happened in February of 1977.

00:30:51.990 --> 00:30:55.710
In the fall of 77, the monitors reappeared. I

00:30:55.710 --> 00:30:59.990
didn't see them. I felt them. They told me that

00:30:59.990 --> 00:31:02.710
I had this experience because of curiosity. So

00:31:02.710 --> 00:31:05.930
it started changing from then. I had this feeling

00:31:05.930 --> 00:31:08.069
of being the luckiest person on the planet, because

00:31:08.069 --> 00:31:11.890
I know these folks exist. I know HireMind exists.

00:31:11.970 --> 00:31:14.980
I know we have a connection to it. And that to

00:31:14.980 --> 00:31:16.859
me is the most important thing in life because

00:31:16.859 --> 00:31:20.480
that's where all our power is. You know, it's

00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:22.779
in our mind, our heart, our intentions, our spirit.

00:31:23.279 --> 00:31:26.279
So it changed my life in terms of confidence,

00:31:26.460 --> 00:31:29.720
in terms of flexibility, creativity. I've conquered

00:31:29.720 --> 00:31:32.299
depression. You know, I'm the happiest person

00:31:32.299 --> 00:31:35.359
on the planet and I went through hell and I was

00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:38.240
bipolar. Still am. But it just doesn't bother

00:31:38.240 --> 00:31:40.859
me anymore. I just look at everything from how

00:31:40.859 --> 00:31:43.740
much I can learn and benefit rather than how

00:31:43.740 --> 00:31:47.880
much it can freak me out. Why go there? That's

00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:52.579
free will. You also mentioned to me earlier that

00:31:52.579 --> 00:31:55.279
you gained some insight into what's going on

00:31:55.279 --> 00:31:59.460
in the world and the future of the world. Would

00:31:59.460 --> 00:32:02.339
you like to expound on that for a minute? Yeah,

00:32:02.339 --> 00:32:05.200
I just wrote a short paragraph about it in my

00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:08.740
book because, as I was telling you, these series

00:32:08.740 --> 00:32:12.450
of pictures I saw, When I came back into my body,

00:32:12.549 --> 00:32:15.529
I think I mentioned that, correct? Yeah. The

00:32:15.529 --> 00:32:17.549
first series of pictures was what's going on

00:32:17.549 --> 00:32:21.710
now. I saw 9 -11 and COVID -19, these fractured

00:32:21.710 --> 00:32:24.230
societies and people screaming in revolution.

00:32:25.069 --> 00:32:28.390
But somewhere in there, and especially due to

00:32:28.390 --> 00:32:31.069
the next series of pictures, which are showing

00:32:31.069 --> 00:32:34.230
where mankind can and hopefully will evolve toward,

00:32:34.549 --> 00:32:36.730
we're just going through the changing of the

00:32:36.730 --> 00:32:39.289
seasons, changing the guard. Our systems are

00:32:39.289 --> 00:32:41.759
breaking so we can fix them. personally, spiritually,

00:32:42.019 --> 00:32:45.759
mentally, physically, you know, globally, politically,

00:32:46.099 --> 00:32:48.319
financially, everything's in transition now.

00:32:48.500 --> 00:32:51.940
It's not that we're bad people, but we got to

00:32:51.940 --> 00:32:55.140
update. Life seems to have a way of kind of just

00:32:55.140 --> 00:32:58.000
slapping us into it one way or another. That's

00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:00.039
why we're going through these extremes. It's

00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:03.819
not in vain. There's a purpose to it. And yet

00:33:03.819 --> 00:33:06.079
whenever you go through some extremes, extremes

00:33:06.079 --> 00:33:09.599
can be life and death, transformation, but also

00:33:10.190 --> 00:33:14.069
revolution, a 180. So I firmly believe that what

00:33:14.069 --> 00:33:17.430
we are seeing now is sort of the cleansing, the

00:33:17.430 --> 00:33:19.769
education, the showing us the holes in the boat.

00:33:20.150 --> 00:33:24.750
But we get to choose by free will, whether to

00:33:24.750 --> 00:33:27.170
pay attention and heed the call and benefit and

00:33:27.170 --> 00:33:30.569
grow and evolve and learn, or to do none of the

00:33:30.569 --> 00:33:33.730
above and look for a complaint department and

00:33:33.730 --> 00:33:36.190
feel like life's picking on you. There's not

00:33:36.190 --> 00:33:38.569
a whole lot of neutral. That's what I believe.

00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:42.680
Interesting insights. Is there any more you can

00:33:42.680 --> 00:33:46.000
tell us about what you saw about the future of

00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:49.440
mankind? It's hard for me to predict the specifics

00:33:49.440 --> 00:33:52.799
because a lot of times I realize things I'd seen

00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:56.500
when I see them on TV. Kind of a deja vu sort

00:33:56.500 --> 00:34:01.000
of thing. Yeah, but really I saw 9 -11 in 77

00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:06.140
but in 2001 I was over in Europe again. I lived

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:09.210
over in the 90s. I was on a boat cruise. and

00:34:09.210 --> 00:34:11.949
a guy from Sweden said, man, I was playing there.

00:34:12.510 --> 00:34:15.889
He said, I think the US towers just got hit.

00:34:15.949 --> 00:34:20.050
I ran down to the basement to the crew TV and

00:34:20.050 --> 00:34:23.409
looked in when a second plane went through. I

00:34:23.409 --> 00:34:25.090
looked around and these people in these blue

00:34:25.090 --> 00:34:28.949
uniforms on a Scandinavian SDFS cruise ship.

00:34:29.889 --> 00:34:32.849
I'd seen that exact same picture with those people.

00:34:33.150 --> 00:34:36.829
In 1977, I had no idea who it was and all of

00:34:36.829 --> 00:34:39.190
a sudden it's right before my eyes. I've seen

00:34:39.190 --> 00:34:42.750
several things like that, sort of verifying the

00:34:42.750 --> 00:34:46.889
lot of what I saw would come true. And even when

00:34:46.889 --> 00:34:50.510
the monitors came back to tell me why I had my

00:34:50.510 --> 00:34:54.389
experience and explained to me amount of my curiosity,

00:34:55.090 --> 00:34:58.289
they said, you will see a lot of what you've

00:34:58.289 --> 00:35:02.250
seen in this lifetime. In my life, I'm 78 now,

00:35:02.250 --> 00:35:04.369
so I don't know if I got another month or another

00:35:04.369 --> 00:35:09.349
decade. Another decade, I'm not sure about. Or

00:35:09.349 --> 00:35:11.750
a couple of decades, it can happen. A couple

00:35:11.750 --> 00:35:15.469
of decades. Who knows? I might be the only guy

00:35:15.469 --> 00:35:19.469
to live to be 138. Why not? I don't have any

00:35:19.469 --> 00:35:22.469
idea when I'm going to pass away. I don't care

00:35:22.469 --> 00:35:24.570
about it because on the other side, I know it's

00:35:24.570 --> 00:35:28.130
beautiful. And I have a theory if I'm... If it

00:35:28.130 --> 00:35:31.289
kills me, I'm in heaven, no problem. If I'm still

00:35:31.289 --> 00:35:35.210
here, regardless of the situation and my condition,

00:35:35.329 --> 00:35:38.789
I can still grow, evolve, and learn. Period.

00:35:39.590 --> 00:35:42.110
That's free will. That's empowerment. No matter

00:35:42.110 --> 00:35:44.909
what the situations are. And so I encourage people

00:35:44.909 --> 00:35:47.349
to think that way. Give yourself the benefit

00:35:47.349 --> 00:35:50.130
of being who you are in the situation of who

00:35:50.130 --> 00:35:53.190
you are. Not the detriment, not the fear, not

00:35:53.190 --> 00:35:56.159
the doubt. Give yourself a pat on the back. Love

00:35:56.159 --> 00:35:58.539
yourself, meditate, ask the universe to help

00:35:58.539 --> 00:36:01.539
you, and then don't be surprised if it does.

00:36:02.260 --> 00:36:05.239
That's a great wrap up and summary, Gary. Thank

00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:07.760
