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.

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
to. I'm talking about a therapist. That's where

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
