PROOF of His NDE 2 - Conclusion of Our Interview With Greg

WEBVTT

00:00:03.749 --> 00:00:06.750
From the time that they pronounced me dead was

00:00:06.750 --> 00:00:10.210
a good 45 minutes. They cut my clothes and then

00:00:10.210 --> 00:00:13.130
they paddled. My heart, my heart had stopped

00:00:13.130 --> 00:00:16.129
and I could see people screaming and crying but

00:00:16.129 --> 00:00:18.589
I didn't realize that was actually my physical

00:00:18.589 --> 00:00:22.010
body because I was somewhere else. The only thing

00:00:22.010 --> 00:00:25.370
that I could feel if you could imagine absolute

00:00:25.370 --> 00:00:28.510
love and peace, there wasn't anything else to

00:00:28.510 --> 00:00:31.440
be felt. I was greeted by people I had known

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.820
in the past. I'm back home again. Incredibly

00:00:34.820 --> 00:00:40.240
safe and felt at home. Hey, welcome back to Round

00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:43.100
Trip Death, everybody, and our interview that

00:00:43.100 --> 00:00:47.119
we were having with Greg H. Mann. And for those

00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:49.259
that didn't hear the first part, I recommend

00:00:49.259 --> 00:00:52.159
go listen to that first. It's in depth. There's

00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.909
a lot to it. But just to give a quick summary

00:00:55.909 --> 00:00:59.170
on where we were, Greg, please feel free to chime

00:00:59.170 --> 00:01:02.450
in and clarify anything if I'm off a little bit.

00:01:03.009 --> 00:01:05.349
But quite a few years ago, you had an experience

00:01:05.349 --> 00:01:08.890
where, well, it was an overdose. It was a suicide

00:01:08.890 --> 00:01:12.129
attempt. We'll just say what it was. And you

00:01:12.129 --> 00:01:16.150
took hundreds of pills. It's amazing that you

00:01:16.150 --> 00:01:18.430
were able to come back from it, that you were.

00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.280
Saved shall we say by the medical staff and by

00:01:22.280 --> 00:01:24.980
other miracles that happened, but it left some

00:01:24.980 --> 00:01:28.319
effects, right? I mean you you had heart problems

00:01:28.319 --> 00:01:32.280
after that and I'm just jumping ahead to a while

00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:35.719
later you are with your brother and a friend

00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.719
on the river you are off alone on a great big

00:01:39.719 --> 00:01:44.799
rock and Your heart stops And you have this amazing

00:01:44.799 --> 00:01:50.719
experience with a guide and with God. And I just

00:01:50.719 --> 00:01:52.780
want to jump in and ask you some questions about

00:01:52.780 --> 00:01:55.700
it so we can learn even more. I know I skipped

00:01:55.700 --> 00:01:58.659
a lot, but are we OK to that point? Yeah, yeah,

00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:01.420
for the most part. I mean, just to correct a

00:02:01.420 --> 00:02:03.900
few things, when you said the medical staff kind

00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:07.480
of saved me in the hospital, they didn't. They

00:02:07.480 --> 00:02:09.080
just said it was a miracle that I survived. There's

00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:10.759
almost nothing that they did. I mean, they gave

00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.030
me some activated charcoal. monitor a few things,

00:02:14.310 --> 00:02:16.409
but everything else was very accurate. Just for

00:02:16.409 --> 00:02:18.409
the sake of accuracy, I always try to be as accurate

00:02:18.409 --> 00:02:20.169
as possible with everything that I'm saying in

00:02:20.169 --> 00:02:22.349
regards to this stuff. And you're absolutely

00:02:22.349 --> 00:02:25.430
right. And you had said that previously, but

00:02:25.430 --> 00:02:28.129
the fact is you were in the hospital. Okay. Yeah.

00:02:28.409 --> 00:02:30.789
Fast forward. Let's talk about some of the things

00:02:30.789 --> 00:02:34.050
that you experienced when you were on the rock

00:02:34.050 --> 00:02:37.250
on the river. And one of the things that you

00:02:37.250 --> 00:02:41.210
started with was talking about this being this

00:02:41.210 --> 00:02:46.150
personage. guide if you will and you felt like

00:02:46.150 --> 00:02:49.849
this was a female being what else can you tell

00:02:49.849 --> 00:02:51.949
me about her and i'm going to use her because

00:02:51.949 --> 00:02:55.090
you thought sort of female yeah you know people

00:02:55.090 --> 00:02:57.129
always question that a lot actually when they're

00:02:57.129 --> 00:02:59.169
like why do you say he why do you say she you

00:02:59.169 --> 00:03:02.710
know and and the simple answer is it just the

00:03:02.710 --> 00:03:05.949
the energy and the vibe was just extremely female

00:03:05.949 --> 00:03:09.180
it reminds me a lot of like Mother nature or

00:03:09.180 --> 00:03:11.340
mother earth we don't call her father earth or

00:03:11.340 --> 00:03:13.759
father nature And there's just a female aspect

00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.680
to it and then God on the other hand again No

00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.460
sex neither one of them really technically had

00:03:18.460 --> 00:03:21.360
a sex God or the father or whatever you'd want

00:03:21.360 --> 00:03:25.560
to really call them Very male very very strong

00:03:25.560 --> 00:03:29.840
presence and of a male type of energy Very much

00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:32.699
like the law is the law there felt a lot like

00:03:32.699 --> 00:03:36.969
that. So from this first being Did you feel like

00:03:36.969 --> 00:03:39.349
there was some sort of connection? Some people

00:03:39.349 --> 00:03:42.629
feel like a guardian angel type of connection

00:03:42.629 --> 00:03:46.569
or some kind of a guide or someone that you had

00:03:46.569 --> 00:03:49.250
known and loved in the past. Did you feel any

00:03:49.250 --> 00:03:51.409
of that? You know, I didn't feel any of that

00:03:51.409 --> 00:03:54.330
at all. I think for me, one of the really big

00:03:54.330 --> 00:03:57.449
parts about my journey, which obviously literally

00:03:57.449 --> 00:03:59.729
started when I was a child. So that's why it's

00:03:59.729 --> 00:04:02.430
been such a strange long journey. Ever since

00:04:02.430 --> 00:04:06.150
it started. And the main culminating point was

00:04:06.150 --> 00:04:09.409
the pain the suffering that I was feeling originally

00:04:09.409 --> 00:04:11.650
not a physical suffering either it was just like

00:04:11.650 --> 00:04:13.530
I'm not even just you could call it emotional

00:04:13.530 --> 00:04:15.789
but it was almost like a spiritual suffering

00:04:15.789 --> 00:04:17.569
in fact one of the examples I didn't I didn't

00:04:17.569 --> 00:04:19.930
even give this example when I was in my youth

00:04:19.930 --> 00:04:22.490
and this was all happening. The world to me I

00:04:22.490 --> 00:04:24.149
don't know if you can imagine this or remember

00:04:24.149 --> 00:04:26.810
this but if you've ever had a nightmare. Where

00:04:26.810 --> 00:04:28.329
you're in this nightmare and you know whether

00:04:28.329 --> 00:04:30.529
you're trying to run and you can't or whatever

00:04:30.529 --> 00:04:33.269
it is it's happening to feel so terrible. Don't

00:04:33.269 --> 00:04:35.889
know if you've ever awoken from a nightmare and

00:04:35.889 --> 00:04:38.329
you're clearly awake But you kind of still feel

00:04:38.329 --> 00:04:40.250
that energy of the nightmare you still kind of

00:04:40.250 --> 00:04:42.670
feel afraid somehow and you know, you're looking

00:04:42.670 --> 00:04:47.689
around and My life felt like that all the time.

00:04:47.829 --> 00:04:49.629
So from the moment I was little so I remember

00:04:49.629 --> 00:04:51.870
um, I made words for all these things I call

00:04:51.870 --> 00:04:53.769
it the peel peel world and the reason I called

00:04:53.769 --> 00:04:57.069
it peel peel world was because You know in beautiful

00:04:57.069 --> 00:04:58.810
mornings you hear like little birds going pew

00:04:58.810 --> 00:05:00.870
pew, you know, like beautiful sounds that they're

00:05:00.870 --> 00:05:03.170
making When I was in the place that I was in

00:05:03.170 --> 00:05:06.089
as a child, it sounded like the birds were yelling.

00:05:06.430 --> 00:05:08.410
They're like, yeah, yeah, you know, just it felt

00:05:08.410 --> 00:05:11.230
like everything was like a nightmare. And I was

00:05:11.230 --> 00:05:12.750
living with that, which is part of the reason

00:05:12.750 --> 00:05:15.149
I think it was driving me insane. Obviously led

00:05:15.149 --> 00:05:18.750
to me, you know, being very sad, unhappy, having

00:05:18.750 --> 00:05:21.069
a lot of pain and suffering and then obviously

00:05:21.069 --> 00:05:24.350
wanting to, you know, in my life. So my big goal,

00:05:24.810 --> 00:05:27.329
and this is to answer your question, was I was

00:05:27.329 --> 00:05:30.269
always looking for happiness. but not the way

00:05:30.269 --> 00:05:31.870
that everybody looks for happiness. I wasn't

00:05:31.870 --> 00:05:35.529
looking for a new toy or new clothes or you know

00:05:35.529 --> 00:05:38.089
something to fill that void. I wanted to find

00:05:38.089 --> 00:05:41.170
the thing that would fill quote -unquote my soul

00:05:41.170 --> 00:05:43.930
or my heart or something that I couldn't quite

00:05:43.930 --> 00:05:46.149
put my finger on and I tried religion obviously

00:05:46.149 --> 00:05:48.769
and you know I grew up Catholic and I tried different

00:05:48.769 --> 00:05:51.470
Christian denominational churches. I tried Buddhism.

00:05:51.470 --> 00:05:53.430
I read you know spiritual books. I was trying

00:05:53.430 --> 00:05:56.730
to find something and that led to a lot of frustration

00:05:56.730 --> 00:05:59.339
because nothing was working. and I would pray

00:05:59.339 --> 00:06:01.860
and I would be very sincere in my prayers and

00:06:01.860 --> 00:06:03.540
I would get baptized and I would do all these

00:06:03.540 --> 00:06:06.019
things but the emptiness just didn't go away.

00:06:06.740 --> 00:06:10.019
And so looking for happiness all this time, when

00:06:10.019 --> 00:06:11.800
I encountered this being of light, you might

00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:13.779
call her an angel, you can call her any name

00:06:13.779 --> 00:06:16.560
you want really, she was just absolute light.

00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:19.680
I didn't necessarily act like I recognized her

00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.600
or that she felt like she was a family member

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:25.779
or ancestor or someone I knew. The very first

00:06:25.779 --> 00:06:27.800
thing that came straight out of my heart was

00:06:28.029 --> 00:06:30.709
I wanna be like you. It was everything, Eric,

00:06:31.310 --> 00:06:34.250
that I'd be looking for virtually my entire life.

00:06:34.610 --> 00:06:37.610
She had the presence, the aura, the joy, the

00:06:37.610 --> 00:06:41.129
calmness, the peace, the love, the depth of her

00:06:41.129 --> 00:06:44.389
love, the depth of her compassion. It was unlike

00:06:44.389 --> 00:06:47.689
any human I've ever met. There's no human at

00:06:47.689 --> 00:06:50.529
this point after encountering this being. I can

00:06:50.529 --> 00:06:52.810
admire humans for certain things, but there's

00:06:52.810 --> 00:06:55.329
not really anybody that I could really say, wow,

00:06:55.329 --> 00:06:57.360
I wanna be like them. There's nobody at this

00:06:57.360 --> 00:07:01.180
point because she was such a high standard. And

00:07:01.180 --> 00:07:03.139
like I said, I just wanted to be like her. I

00:07:03.139 --> 00:07:05.560
knew at that moment without even thinking about

00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.540
it that that was everything I was looking for.

00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:10.120
I was literally just happy with that. Having

00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.899
that encounter in that moment was so big, so

00:07:13.899 --> 00:07:15.920
pivotal. Obviously, it shocked me a lot when

00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:17.939
she responded when I said, I want to be like

00:07:17.939 --> 00:07:21.019
you. And she said, you are me and I am you. And

00:07:21.019 --> 00:07:23.779
I was just like. that's not true. Look at me,

00:07:23.860 --> 00:07:26.279
you know, and you could see all my flaws and

00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:27.920
you know, it's funny now that I think about it.

00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.420
Her light was a lot like similar to the light

00:07:30.420 --> 00:07:33.040
of God because God's light is like very interesting.

00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:36.939
His light shines right through you right onto

00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:40.360
your soul. It exposes everything and hers was

00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.879
kind of similar in the sense that I could see

00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.259
all my flaws very clearly. I mean, it penetrated

00:07:45.259 --> 00:07:47.240
right through me, which has made it very easy

00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.040
for me to call her out on it and say, Look, look

00:07:50.040 --> 00:07:52.879
at me. I'm not like you. Look at you. You are.

00:07:52.980 --> 00:07:57.860
You are so glorious. You are so beautiful. And

00:07:57.860 --> 00:08:02.100
I just wanted that so badly, because I didn't

00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:05.500
have it all my life. And it was absolutely beautiful.

00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:09.680
You know, I'm envious. And I hope that for humanity

00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:11.860
someday, because I know that someday it will

00:08:11.860 --> 00:08:15.970
happen. And we are so flawed, but The beauty

00:08:15.970 --> 00:08:20.610
that we can be, the potential is, is unimaginable.

00:08:20.990 --> 00:08:23.449
It's amazing that you got so much from her in

00:08:23.449 --> 00:08:26.370
such a short amount of time. In other words,

00:08:27.089 --> 00:08:29.730
my understanding, my feeling from what happened

00:08:29.730 --> 00:08:32.570
is, you two didn't sit and have this big, long,

00:08:32.570 --> 00:08:35.129
long, long conversation, and that's how that

00:08:35.129 --> 00:08:38.149
you knew that she was full of love. Tell me,

00:08:38.269 --> 00:08:42.029
was she just radiating this? Did you just felt

00:08:42.029 --> 00:08:44.529
this from her? Is that how it worked? You know

00:08:44.529 --> 00:08:46.649
Eric, this is a really that's a very good question

00:08:46.649 --> 00:08:48.870
because I finally figured out kind of how to

00:08:48.870 --> 00:08:51.289
word it because I thought it too I thought I

00:08:51.289 --> 00:08:53.129
how could I feel the patience? How could I feel

00:08:53.129 --> 00:08:54.909
the compassion? How could I feel the love? I

00:08:54.909 --> 00:08:58.649
didn't understand and what I realized in time

00:08:58.649 --> 00:09:02.789
Her light that that was her clothing by the way

00:09:02.789 --> 00:09:05.389
So it's not that she have clothes on her light

00:09:05.389 --> 00:09:07.870
was her clothes The only thing that you could

00:09:07.870 --> 00:09:10.049
see was kind of her face a little bit, but not

00:09:10.049 --> 00:09:14.899
much Was the aura it was that the but her clothing

00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:19.340
Dictated what she was and to give you an example

00:09:19.340 --> 00:09:20.980
It's like if you go to a hospital and there's

00:09:20.980 --> 00:09:23.179
a guy with wearing a white coat You're like,

00:09:23.179 --> 00:09:25.779
oh he must be a doctor or you see a woman with

00:09:25.779 --> 00:09:29.179
a white coat She must be a doctor if you go to

00:09:29.179 --> 00:09:31.159
You know mechanic shop and this guy's wearing

00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:32.779
the mechanic outfit and he's got all the grease

00:09:32.779 --> 00:09:34.960
like whatever if you're a policeman and you wear

00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:38.000
the police outfit Whatever you're wearing dictates

00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:40.659
kind of who you are Right you're a judge you

00:09:40.659 --> 00:09:42.519
wear the black robe whatever i could go on and

00:09:42.519 --> 00:09:45.899
on. And in this particular place when you're

00:09:45.899 --> 00:09:49.399
on the other side. It's interesting because i

00:09:49.399 --> 00:09:52.120
would even ask you cuz i saw a lot of this there

00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:56.279
do you think there's a hierarchy in heaven. Yes

00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.700
i knew it absolutely be correct because a lot

00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:02.059
of people would say well probably not everybody's

00:10:02.059 --> 00:10:05.450
equal that's not what i was shown. I was shown,

00:10:05.470 --> 00:10:07.129
and the reason we know there's a hierarchy is

00:10:07.129 --> 00:10:08.769
just think about what the scripture says when

00:10:08.769 --> 00:10:11.129
it talks about Lucifer. He was the highest of

00:10:11.129 --> 00:10:12.909
the angels, right? That right there lets you

00:10:12.909 --> 00:10:16.289
know there is a hierarchy. But the hierarchy

00:10:16.289 --> 00:10:19.490
in heaven is very different than the one on earth.

00:10:19.889 --> 00:10:23.570
And over there, what rises you up in the hierarchy

00:10:23.570 --> 00:10:27.610
is your love. How much love do you have in your

00:10:27.610 --> 00:10:30.509
heart? And it's all exposed. There is no lying.

00:10:30.669 --> 00:10:32.629
There is no hiding. There's no speaking with

00:10:32.629 --> 00:10:35.350
a silver. tongue or whatever they call it, it's

00:10:35.350 --> 00:10:38.370
very clear who rises up. And you only rise up

00:10:38.370 --> 00:10:41.750
for all the right reasons. And so her clothing

00:10:41.750 --> 00:10:45.929
was her patience, was her compassion, was the

00:10:45.929 --> 00:10:48.909
depth of her love. And because it was her clothing,

00:10:49.590 --> 00:10:52.370
I was just knew it somehow, but I didn't think

00:10:52.370 --> 00:10:54.309
about it. It was all very instinctual. I could

00:10:54.309 --> 00:10:57.210
just feel it off of her. And that's just how

00:10:57.210 --> 00:11:00.269
I knew, you know, we wear our clothing, that

00:11:00.269 --> 00:11:02.470
it comes from our heart, basically on the other

00:11:02.470 --> 00:11:05.679
side. Beautiful. After that, you talked about

00:11:05.679 --> 00:11:09.240
traveling at a really high, high, high rate of

00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:12.080
speed, which I'm sure you couldn't even put into

00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.500
numbers or anything. It sounded like through

00:11:15.500 --> 00:11:18.980
the galaxy and you talked about stars being doorways.

00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:21.720
Could you expound on that a little bit more?

00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:25.960
So basically, I realized through direct experience

00:11:25.960 --> 00:11:30.240
that stars are portals or doors. I had, this

00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:31.919
is a little, I don't know how much detail I should

00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:35.399
go into this, but from a child again, I actually,

00:11:35.419 --> 00:11:37.460
I've opened some portals. So there's different

00:11:37.460 --> 00:11:41.000
types of portals, and one of them is stars. The

00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.240
human body can actually be a portal, by the way,

00:11:43.340 --> 00:11:46.000
or quote unquote a doorway, and so can water.

00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:50.120
So ultimately in this particular case, from what

00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:53.259
I could see, the stars are doors. Some people

00:11:53.259 --> 00:11:56.480
call them gates, like star gates. and their doors

00:11:56.480 --> 00:11:59.860
to navigate the stars. So you literally are jumping

00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:03.639
to stars at a very, very fast speed. I never,

00:12:03.779 --> 00:12:05.960
I never understood this whole star constellation

00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.039
thing like, oh, there's the Big Dipper and there's

00:12:08.039 --> 00:12:11.620
Orion's belt. I was never into it. I never understood

00:12:11.620 --> 00:12:14.259
it. And so I just, I kind of always looked up

00:12:14.259 --> 00:12:16.100
there and thought that doesn't look like a dipper

00:12:16.100 --> 00:12:18.080
to me. I, you know, and then somebody would draw

00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:19.759
it for you and I'm like, who comes up with this

00:12:19.759 --> 00:12:23.019
stuff? Like I, I just didn't understand. But

00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:26.740
seeing how we are to navigate the heavens and

00:12:26.740 --> 00:12:29.100
that the stars have a huge part of it. It kind

00:12:29.100 --> 00:12:32.460
of helps me understand why we create star constellations

00:12:32.460 --> 00:12:36.299
and how to navigate the heavens because if I

00:12:36.299 --> 00:12:39.600
would have not had that being a light, it's impossible.

00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:43.940
You cannot navigate the stars. Try to go to downtown

00:12:43.940 --> 00:12:46.200
L .A. or try to drive anywhere without your GPS

00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:48.779
or a map and any signs that even point you in

00:12:48.779 --> 00:12:51.539
the right direction. And this is a billion times,

00:12:51.779 --> 00:12:53.639
maybe probably more into the trillions of times

00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:58.000
more difficult. It is so vast and the speeds

00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.039
are so high and it just would have been impossible.

00:13:01.259 --> 00:13:03.100
And I knew that when I was traveling with her,

00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.340
I'm just like, I let go. I'm like, you take me

00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:08.460
wherever you're taking me and I'm with you. But

00:13:08.460 --> 00:13:10.440
I knew very clearly that I would be absolutely

00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:12.360
lost. And I knew that I actually thought I'd

00:13:12.360 --> 00:13:14.299
never come back. I thought that was pretty much

00:13:14.299 --> 00:13:17.529
it. And she knew where she was going. And you

00:13:17.529 --> 00:13:19.909
ended up at this place where you described a

00:13:19.909 --> 00:13:22.850
council. Tell me more about the council. Did

00:13:22.850 --> 00:13:26.370
they look like people or angels? How many were

00:13:26.370 --> 00:13:28.230
there? Give me an idea of what that was like.

00:13:28.850 --> 00:13:32.029
All right. So remember, before I say this, I'm

00:13:32.029 --> 00:13:34.129
just going to give an honest testimonial because

00:13:34.129 --> 00:13:38.330
I don't have a religion or a belief system. But

00:13:38.330 --> 00:13:42.090
when I arrived, they were like monks. So the

00:13:42.090 --> 00:13:44.029
first being seen more like an angel which almost

00:13:44.029 --> 00:13:47.330
seems more biblical in nature, right? Now it's

00:13:47.330 --> 00:13:49.710
like monks and which is more quote -unquote from

00:13:49.710 --> 00:13:52.549
Asia or maybe Buddhism or whatnot they were their

00:13:52.549 --> 00:13:54.370
robes that they were wearing were kind of like

00:13:54.370 --> 00:13:58.330
orange in color and Like I said, they were in

00:13:58.330 --> 00:14:00.669
a circle now, you know, it's really crazy Eric.

00:14:00.669 --> 00:14:03.929
This is so funny Because I was in Japan recently.

00:14:03.929 --> 00:14:06.429
I've been doing a lot of research in Japan and

00:14:06.429 --> 00:14:09.690
I was grocery shopping was buying some organic

00:14:09.690 --> 00:14:13.570
produce and I look over and I see this giant

00:14:13.570 --> 00:14:16.529
like mural or painting or whatever it is and

00:14:16.529 --> 00:14:19.509
when I look at it Eric it was exactly what I

00:14:19.509 --> 00:14:22.049
saw when I was on the other side and I couldn't

00:14:22.049 --> 00:14:25.110
believe that I just saw it and when I saw that

00:14:25.110 --> 00:14:27.350
I immediately tried to find the Japanese person

00:14:27.350 --> 00:14:31.289
and said do you know who drew this because there

00:14:31.289 --> 00:14:35.029
is no way it's absolutely in my opinion impossible

00:14:35.029 --> 00:14:37.990
that you would draw this if you've never been

00:14:37.990 --> 00:14:40.549
there. You've had to have been where I've been.

00:14:40.909 --> 00:14:43.690
It's just not possible And so I asked them who

00:14:43.690 --> 00:14:45.710
drew that or where that came from and then they

00:14:45.710 --> 00:14:48.289
kind of laughed a little bit and Japanese person

00:14:48.289 --> 00:14:51.490
told me well, that's that's Kukai. I'm like Kukai.

00:14:51.590 --> 00:14:54.450
Who's Kukai? I've never even heard the name Kukai

00:14:54.450 --> 00:14:56.529
and he's like, you don't know Kukai and basically

00:14:56.529 --> 00:14:59.769
Kukai is like the Japanese Jesus basically and

00:14:59.769 --> 00:15:01.570
I thought it was so strange so I started reading

00:15:01.570 --> 00:15:04.990
about him and oh my goodness Kukai's story is

00:15:04.990 --> 00:15:09.610
unbelievable and beautiful He's obviously dead,

00:15:10.269 --> 00:15:12.490
but what he did was something so unprecedented,

00:15:13.129 --> 00:15:16.289
he self mummified himself. So he changed his

00:15:16.289 --> 00:15:20.090
diet to clear out all these bacteria and parasites

00:15:20.090 --> 00:15:22.490
out of his body so that he could go into deep

00:15:22.490 --> 00:15:24.690
meditation and his body wouldn't decompose. If

00:15:24.690 --> 00:15:26.789
you can believe that. The body is still in Japan.

00:15:27.350 --> 00:15:30.149
It still exists to this day. The monks still

00:15:30.149 --> 00:15:34.169
bring them food, by the way. It's such an interesting,

00:15:34.169 --> 00:15:37.049
interesting story and so smart. And it's one

00:15:37.049 --> 00:15:38.669
of the reasons that Japan is the way they are

00:15:38.669 --> 00:15:41.549
today. It's because of Kukai as far as how peaceful

00:15:41.549 --> 00:15:44.850
they are and how clean they are. They live so

00:15:44.850 --> 00:15:47.429
long because they practice certain practices

00:15:47.429 --> 00:15:49.789
that have wisdom in them for health. All these

00:15:49.789 --> 00:15:51.509
different things that the Japanese do, they really

00:15:51.509 --> 00:15:54.090
are pretty amazing people. Nobody's perfect,

00:15:54.110 --> 00:15:56.370
but my goodness, they're pretty remarkable people.

00:15:56.370 --> 00:15:58.330
And I found a lot and learned a lot from them.

00:15:58.330 --> 00:16:01.110
That's amazing. So I looked up this Kukai thing

00:16:01.110 --> 00:16:03.889
because they have the monks in a circle. Same

00:16:03.889 --> 00:16:07.460
way, but at the center. And this is where I think

00:16:07.460 --> 00:16:09.659
symbolism needs to be understood in order to

00:16:09.659 --> 00:16:11.700
understand what the image means. They have a

00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:15.759
really big head that looks like the Buddha. Now,

00:16:16.200 --> 00:16:19.179
the word Buddha really is kind of the same word

00:16:19.179 --> 00:16:22.139
as the word Christ, you know, when you reach

00:16:22.139 --> 00:16:24.779
the awakening and the enlightenment. So it's

00:16:24.779 --> 00:16:26.500
funny that they put Buddha's head because it

00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:30.600
symbolizes God, right? The Christ, the God. And

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:32.399
what's interesting about that is all those monks

00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:35.450
in a circle Opened the portal that I went through

00:16:35.450 --> 00:16:39.149
where I met God So it was so odd this finding

00:16:39.149 --> 00:16:41.289
that there's things that I've been finding throughout

00:16:41.289 --> 00:16:44.309
the years to kind of make sense of this And so

00:16:44.309 --> 00:16:45.649
I don't know if that really answers your question

00:16:45.649 --> 00:16:47.570
But when I arrived to the council, you know,

00:16:47.649 --> 00:16:49.950
as I said before they said we've been waiting

00:16:49.950 --> 00:16:52.750
for you They spoke with one voice. They gave

00:16:52.750 --> 00:16:55.789
me a ton of images A lot of information came

00:16:55.789 --> 00:16:58.169
in a very very short period of time and it was

00:16:58.169 --> 00:17:00.370
pretty wild Did you feel like you were being

00:17:00.370 --> 00:17:04.160
judged in any way by them? No, not at all. In

00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.579
fact with them what I felt was God has a plan

00:17:08.579 --> 00:17:11.220
and There's a certain will you know when they

00:17:11.220 --> 00:17:14.980
say we want to do God's will he has a plan and

00:17:14.980 --> 00:17:17.880
when I got there When they say we've been waiting

00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:20.240
for you It had to do with a greater and grander

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:23.500
plan that God has that has been going on by the

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:25.700
way for thousands of years This is not a short

00:17:25.700 --> 00:17:28.259
plan. This is a very long one when they said

00:17:28.259 --> 00:17:30.799
they've been waiting for me. It had to do with

00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:35.019
Trying to finish or yeah, basically almost finished

00:17:35.019 --> 00:17:37.900
this particular plan that he's had for so long

00:17:37.900 --> 00:17:40.920
As a child, you know part of my pain as I explained

00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.940
before Was that I just had such a I don't even

00:17:44.940 --> 00:17:46.480
know how to explain it I know that a lot of people

00:17:46.480 --> 00:17:48.240
say the same thing too that they just have this

00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:51.079
love for god and I just had this strange Love

00:17:51.079 --> 00:17:53.079
and almost connection. I mean, I remember when

00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:55.640
I was a kid because I was going to catholic a

00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.900
church in my obviously very very little I remember

00:17:58.900 --> 00:18:01.140
asking a question and I asked this specifically

00:18:01.140 --> 00:18:02.779
to my mother. I don't know why I'll always remember

00:18:02.779 --> 00:18:05.619
this embedded in my brain I kept going to church

00:18:05.619 --> 00:18:07.200
all the time my parents and I'm thinking when

00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:09.779
do we finally meet God and I kept asking my mom

00:18:09.779 --> 00:18:11.559
I'm like, when do we meet God like we come here

00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:14.039
all the time? The preacher keeps talking or the

00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:16.480
pastor whatever all this stuff happens and they

00:18:16.480 --> 00:18:18.119
drink the cookie or I'm sorry They drink the

00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:20.579
wine and eat the cookie or the bread or whatever

00:18:20.579 --> 00:18:23.720
and all this is happening and every single time

00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:25.319
It's the same thing. I started noticing that

00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:27.569
it was a repetition all the time And of course,

00:18:27.650 --> 00:18:29.329
I get bored. I'm a kid. I'm like, and when do

00:18:29.329 --> 00:18:32.269
we meet this guy? Like, where is this God? I

00:18:32.269 --> 00:18:33.789
asked her something about God, actually. I don't

00:18:33.789 --> 00:18:35.809
remember the question, but I asked her something

00:18:35.809 --> 00:18:37.470
about God or when we're going to meet him or

00:18:37.470 --> 00:18:41.650
something. And my mother's response was just

00:18:41.650 --> 00:18:44.009
something that she had memorized as a Catholic

00:18:44.009 --> 00:18:46.269
also in her youth. And she just kind of regurgitated

00:18:46.269 --> 00:18:48.170
something and it meant nothing to me. But it

00:18:48.170 --> 00:18:50.630
was the first time that I felt like, because

00:18:50.630 --> 00:18:53.279
I believed everything my parents said. My father

00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:55.539
or my mother you tell they tell me anything and

00:18:55.539 --> 00:18:57.339
I believe that that was the way that I was I

00:18:57.339 --> 00:19:00.019
and I highly respect them But deep down inside

00:19:00.019 --> 00:19:01.680
was the first time that I it's almost like I

00:19:01.680 --> 00:19:03.680
heard a little voice So she said it that said

00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.880
she doesn't know it was then that I realized

00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:10.279
Nobody really knows you know these preachers

00:19:10.279 --> 00:19:13.420
or pastors or people think that they understand

00:19:13.420 --> 00:19:17.839
The depths or the true nature all these questions

00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:22.829
that I had After that, I always felt like the

00:19:22.829 --> 00:19:26.049
happiness and joy that I was seeking I just kind

00:19:26.049 --> 00:19:28.970
of knew instinctively deep down in my heart that

00:19:28.970 --> 00:19:31.849
it had everything to do with God and That nobody

00:19:31.849 --> 00:19:33.690
was gonna be able to lead me there and I tried

00:19:33.690 --> 00:19:35.529
that's why I went to many churches and tried

00:19:35.529 --> 00:19:38.009
many different things And I was like the canary

00:19:38.009 --> 00:19:39.789
in the coal mine. You couldn't fool me It was

00:19:39.789 --> 00:19:41.269
either gonna work or it wasn't it was either

00:19:41.269 --> 00:19:43.869
gonna be real or it wasn't you know I'm not into

00:19:43.869 --> 00:19:46.490
being like being affected by psychosomatic things.

00:19:46.490 --> 00:19:49.549
In fact, I And placebos those don't tend to really

00:19:49.549 --> 00:19:52.230
work very well on me because I tend to just let

00:19:52.230 --> 00:19:54.009
everything go and if the truth's gonna hit the

00:19:54.009 --> 00:19:57.710
truth's gonna hit and So I really know if that

00:19:57.710 --> 00:19:59.930
answers your question, but yeah, those monks

00:19:59.930 --> 00:20:02.269
were not there to judge me They were actually

00:20:02.269 --> 00:20:04.690
waiting for me as they said and they're waiting

00:20:04.690 --> 00:20:07.589
for me to do something I do have a lot of ideas

00:20:07.589 --> 00:20:10.930
of what that is But it's a yeah, but the simple

00:20:10.930 --> 00:20:12.950
fact is that they were definitely not judging

00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:16.210
me typically the real judgment You know for people

00:20:16.210 --> 00:20:19.250
who who wonder this the real judgment ends up

00:20:19.250 --> 00:20:22.569
actually coming from ourselves So the truth is

00:20:22.569 --> 00:20:25.849
actually in us already. It's in us already and

00:20:25.849 --> 00:20:28.450
so when god shines his light and you see the

00:20:28.450 --> 00:20:30.470
great mirror that I call it the great mirror

00:20:30.470 --> 00:20:33.849
because You you were able to peer into your own

00:20:33.849 --> 00:20:36.730
soul again. I think the best example was you

00:20:36.730 --> 00:20:39.009
can't really look at your own eyes Unless you

00:20:39.009 --> 00:20:40.730
look in a mirror, but if you don't have a mirror

00:20:40.730 --> 00:20:43.410
And so that's where your soul is very similar.

00:20:43.410 --> 00:20:45.890
You can't seem to see it You need a mirror to

00:20:45.890 --> 00:20:48.190
see it, and God is that ultimate mirror. And

00:20:48.190 --> 00:20:51.529
once you see it, you know somehow deep down inside

00:20:51.529 --> 00:20:53.710
the truth. Like when Scripture says, the truth

00:20:53.710 --> 00:20:56.430
is what will set you free. You know the truth,

00:20:56.450 --> 00:20:57.990
so when you've done something wrong, you just

00:20:57.990 --> 00:21:00.710
know it. You just feel it. You just know. Nobody

00:21:00.710 --> 00:21:03.210
needs to tell you. There's no need for people

00:21:03.210 --> 00:21:05.250
judging each other. You know, that being the

00:21:05.250 --> 00:21:06.809
light that I encountered, I mean, I pointed out

00:21:06.809 --> 00:21:09.150
to her all my flaws. Not one judgment came off.

00:21:09.730 --> 00:21:12.769
All right. This is probably my biggest discussion

00:21:12.769 --> 00:21:16.019
point that I want to have here. You described

00:21:16.019 --> 00:21:20.200
God as being heavy -handed, a male figure and

00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:22.960
heavy -handed, which has negative connotations

00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:26.059
with it. It sounds kind of like, like anger and

00:21:26.059 --> 00:21:28.299
like it's my way or the highway kind of thing.

00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:31.920
But we've also discussed love and the hierarchy

00:21:31.920 --> 00:21:36.160
of heaven based on how much love one has. So

00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:38.900
explain how those two things go together for

00:21:38.900 --> 00:21:41.890
us. Yeah, and when I say heavy hand that I don't

00:21:41.890 --> 00:21:44.269
mean like he's gonna hit you type of thing It's

00:21:44.269 --> 00:21:47.150
just that he's so big, you know, and when I say

00:21:47.150 --> 00:21:49.509
he's big it's kind of like the waves of an ocean

00:21:49.509 --> 00:21:51.569
I mean, you could have a person walking in a

00:21:51.569 --> 00:21:53.650
wave will just knock you down, you know And it's

00:21:53.650 --> 00:21:56.430
not that it's trying to it's just it's the nature

00:21:56.430 --> 00:21:59.549
and it seems from what I can see God has what

00:21:59.549 --> 00:22:02.049
I call and I never understood it really before

00:22:02.049 --> 00:22:04.670
and I'd read it in Scripture before heard it

00:22:04.670 --> 00:22:06.829
and I understand it very well now because it

00:22:06.829 --> 00:22:09.349
was revealed In the depths of my soul, which

00:22:09.349 --> 00:22:13.710
is the law there is a law and there's God's law

00:22:13.710 --> 00:22:18.609
and God's law It's the only way to be able to

00:22:18.609 --> 00:22:21.410
quote unquote what we would call ascend or find

00:22:21.410 --> 00:22:24.710
our way back to him Or find our way back to a

00:22:24.710 --> 00:22:27.049
one might call the tree of life. But the law

00:22:27.049 --> 00:22:30.289
is a law and there's an image I really hope this

00:22:30.289 --> 00:22:32.009
guy hears and you probably won't but there's

00:22:32.009 --> 00:22:33.609
a guy if you ever heard his name I think it's

00:22:33.609 --> 00:22:35.789
Robert Edward Grant. Now if you've heard of this

00:22:35.789 --> 00:22:38.099
guy a lot of things he's really right about.

00:22:38.539 --> 00:22:40.339
And then he's missing a few important pieces,

00:22:40.539 --> 00:22:42.579
which are important to finish the whole image.

00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:45.519
It's like a few pieces to a puzzle. And basically,

00:22:46.059 --> 00:22:48.460
the way that the real Tree of Life looks, I don't

00:22:48.460 --> 00:22:49.819
know if you know what the Tree of Life truly

00:22:49.819 --> 00:22:52.680
looks like. And they've tricked us with this.

00:22:53.000 --> 00:22:55.980
The Tree of Life is a tree, depending on, you

00:22:55.980 --> 00:22:57.519
know, certain images, but it's three things.

00:22:57.920 --> 00:23:00.119
So it's a tree, and then what looks either like

00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:04.220
a sword or a staff, and then two snakes going

00:23:04.220 --> 00:23:07.650
around. You know the staff they tripped us in

00:23:07.650 --> 00:23:09.569
some ways because that's the image they use for

00:23:09.569 --> 00:23:13.109
hospitals. So if you ever noticed the staff the

00:23:13.109 --> 00:23:15.670
serpent and at the top they have what looks also

00:23:15.670 --> 00:23:19.589
like a disc or the sun. But the disc can also

00:23:19.589 --> 00:23:22.190
represent a mirror remember i told you god is

00:23:22.190 --> 00:23:24.250
like the great mirror but it's also a type of

00:23:24.250 --> 00:23:28.410
light so kinda like the sun. And that represents

00:23:28.410 --> 00:23:31.049
life in it represents more than like because

00:23:31.049 --> 00:23:32.650
the serpents represent there's supposed to be

00:23:32.650 --> 00:23:35.099
two. And they actually represent male and female.

00:23:35.440 --> 00:23:37.539
They represent humans. The humans are the snakes.

00:23:38.039 --> 00:23:40.640
And the staff, which can also be depicted as

00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:44.839
a sword, is a sword of truth. And that's why

00:23:44.839 --> 00:23:46.480
in scripture, when it talks about the return

00:23:46.480 --> 00:23:48.700
of God or Jesus, it says that a sword will be

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:51.799
coming out of his mouth. And that's because the

00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:54.920
truth will come out. That sword of truth is how

00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:57.839
the snakes ascend. That's how they go upwards

00:23:57.839 --> 00:24:01.740
and ascend once again and reach God again. who

00:24:01.740 --> 00:24:04.539
is the tree of life. So the whole thing is an

00:24:04.539 --> 00:24:06.920
image of life. And it's ironic that they put

00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:10.079
it in front of a hospital because they're letting

00:24:10.079 --> 00:24:12.920
you know subconsciously, we are in control of

00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:14.700
your life. They want to be the tree of life.

00:24:14.819 --> 00:24:17.480
They want to be the gods, but they're not. But

00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:20.339
they want to be. You know, it's a weird cosmic

00:24:20.339 --> 00:24:22.839
thing that's been going on for a very long time.

00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:24.859
When I talk about quote unquote, the Almighty,

00:24:25.740 --> 00:24:29.170
he's very big. but he can also be gentle i mean

00:24:29.170 --> 00:24:31.670
i was laid inside of him the way that you would

00:24:31.670 --> 00:24:33.970
lay in a river because that's the way he moves

00:24:33.970 --> 00:24:38.829
and he's so big and and he looks like stars and

00:24:38.829 --> 00:24:41.970
plasma and water and these colors and all these

00:24:41.970 --> 00:24:45.309
different things but he didn't feel mean but

00:24:45.309 --> 00:24:48.390
the greater your evil is like if you've done

00:24:48.390 --> 00:24:51.150
a lot of terrible things in your life it's like

00:24:51.150 --> 00:24:52.970
pulling on a rubber band even more more more

00:24:52.970 --> 00:24:55.269
more more because when you let go of it's only

00:24:55.269 --> 00:24:57.920
going to hit you that much harder So it's not

00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:01.180
so much that he's punishing you or that he has

00:25:01.180 --> 00:25:04.740
this heavy hand But it's more like the more you

00:25:04.740 --> 00:25:07.299
do it's kind of like the karma thing, you know

00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:09.339
The bigger it is or the more that you do of it

00:25:09.339 --> 00:25:11.599
the harder it's gonna hit you later I don't know

00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:13.920
if that's really under answering your question.

00:25:14.180 --> 00:25:17.279
Yeah, what did his love feel like? You know,

00:25:17.299 --> 00:25:19.869
it's so different. That's the weird part I would

00:25:19.869 --> 00:25:21.670
have guessed that the being of light would have

00:25:21.670 --> 00:25:24.130
been more like God, her level of compassion and

00:25:24.130 --> 00:25:27.609
love. He was more like, geez, it's like an eternal

00:25:27.609 --> 00:25:31.869
flow of, dare I say, just brilliant information.

00:25:32.369 --> 00:25:34.589
Nothing but answers, nothing but light. It's

00:25:34.589 --> 00:25:37.470
like a tree, like, you know, a tree, like especially

00:25:37.470 --> 00:25:42.569
a giant sequoia tree. So it's so big. It's so

00:25:42.569 --> 00:25:46.910
strong, so steady. But it's not necessarily like

00:25:46.910 --> 00:25:48.789
a puppy rubbing up against you and so loving

00:25:48.789 --> 00:25:52.730
in that way. It's just, it's so found, it's foundational.

00:25:53.309 --> 00:25:55.930
But sometimes when he decides to move, it's very

00:25:55.930 --> 00:25:59.410
interesting because he really is unpredictable

00:25:59.410 --> 00:26:01.470
and like the wind. I think I shared with you

00:26:01.470 --> 00:26:04.250
when I was with my brother and quote unquote,

00:26:04.269 --> 00:26:06.269
I reached down and grab him, but it wasn't me.

00:26:06.529 --> 00:26:10.650
He moved through me. Very spontaneously and very

00:26:10.650 --> 00:26:12.650
fast. It was just like boom like didn't almost

00:26:12.650 --> 00:26:15.269
have dare I say almost control But he gave me

00:26:15.269 --> 00:26:18.029
control so I could have at any moment stopped

00:26:18.029 --> 00:26:20.849
it But I was just allowing it and it's kind of

00:26:20.849 --> 00:26:22.769
hard to describe because it's this endless flow

00:26:22.769 --> 00:26:26.289
of like water Like a river, but then he can just

00:26:26.289 --> 00:26:28.750
do something at any moment that he wants to and

00:26:28.750 --> 00:26:30.730
you don't know what he's gonna do Completely

00:26:30.730 --> 00:26:32.609
unpredictable. I think it almost reminds me of

00:26:32.609 --> 00:26:34.910
a verse where Jesus says I don't think people

00:26:34.910 --> 00:26:37.190
understand this one and this one actually just

00:26:37.190 --> 00:26:40.549
a few days ago Came to me I had to sit down and

00:26:40.549 --> 00:26:42.730
start writing and stop thinking because he wanted

00:26:42.730 --> 00:26:45.089
me to just write and I was like, okay Here we

00:26:45.089 --> 00:26:47.829
go. And the things he showed me was it was ironic

00:26:47.829 --> 00:26:49.730
because it was about one of the verses in Scripture

00:26:49.730 --> 00:26:53.210
again Which is odd because I'm not no offense

00:26:53.210 --> 00:26:55.710
to anybody, but I'm not Christian I'm not even

00:26:55.710 --> 00:26:57.890
religious. I don't have any denomination because

00:26:57.890 --> 00:26:59.750
I don't want to close myself off. I feel like

00:26:59.750 --> 00:27:01.950
God's too big for that I just don't want to do

00:27:01.950 --> 00:27:04.029
that. I never want to close off to any set of

00:27:04.029 --> 00:27:06.269
beliefs So I just try to be open but he tends

00:27:06.269 --> 00:27:08.460
to bring me to the Bible a lot lately There's

00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:10.380
a verse where Jesus spoke to Nicodemus. I don't

00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:12.299
know if you remember the verse. It basically

00:27:12.299 --> 00:27:14.660
said, you know, Jesus was telling Nicodemus,

00:27:14.740 --> 00:27:16.779
you got to be born again. It's ironic because

00:27:16.779 --> 00:27:19.000
what Nicodemus was asking technically, I mean,

00:27:19.019 --> 00:27:20.839
he was saying, you know, I could even quote it.

00:27:20.960 --> 00:27:23.460
He says, we know you are a man of God, for no

00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:25.319
man could do such things if God were not with

00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:27.079
him. He basically is kind of asking him, you

00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:29.059
know, like, how do you do it? What's the way?

00:27:29.220 --> 00:27:31.619
What's the answer? A little ironic, you know,

00:27:31.740 --> 00:27:35.039
Jesus didn't say, well, You got to go give the

00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:37.559
church 10 % make sure you go there every Sunday

00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:39.259
and accept me as your Lord and Savior, you know

00:27:39.259 --> 00:27:42.259
He didn't really say those things He said you

00:27:42.259 --> 00:27:45.160
must be born again now. I don't honestly think

00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:47.059
that a lot of people even understand what that

00:27:47.059 --> 00:27:48.960
means I know that a lot of people think they

00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:52.779
do but I don't think they do because Jesus goes

00:27:52.779 --> 00:27:54.819
on to say it's not just about being born again

00:27:54.819 --> 00:27:57.380
Jesus specifically starts going in because Nicodemus

00:27:57.380 --> 00:27:59.599
doesn't understand and he starts saying things

00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.049
like well You have to be born of water But then

00:28:03.049 --> 00:28:05.289
you also have to be born of spirit. And then

00:28:05.289 --> 00:28:06.990
Nicodemus is a little confused. Obviously at

00:28:06.990 --> 00:28:08.650
one point he's like, I can't enter my mother's

00:28:08.650 --> 00:28:11.250
womb, you know, this whole thing. And then he

00:28:11.250 --> 00:28:13.490
starts talking about what is of the flesh is

00:28:13.490 --> 00:28:15.190
flesh, which by the way has a lot to do with

00:28:15.190 --> 00:28:18.109
water. But what is of the spirit is spirit. And

00:28:18.109 --> 00:28:20.029
that's where the spirit is born from. The spirit

00:28:20.029 --> 00:28:22.009
is born of God. You know, we are born of Him.

00:28:22.349 --> 00:28:25.910
Obviously He's our Father in heaven. When you're

00:28:25.910 --> 00:28:29.009
baptized in Him, as I would call it, I don't

00:28:29.009 --> 00:28:30.950
think almost anybody's ever seen anything like

00:28:30.950 --> 00:28:34.180
that. at least for a long time because when i

00:28:34.180 --> 00:28:36.420
was with him i think that's exactly what happened

00:28:36.420 --> 00:28:40.740
i literally went into him i was in him over there

00:28:40.740 --> 00:28:45.200
but on earth he was in me so over there i'm in

00:28:45.200 --> 00:28:48.119
him over here he's in me it's kind of odd right

00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:50.400
and i think i told you felt like i had two brains

00:28:50.400 --> 00:28:52.720
which is really weird i mean if you could even

00:28:52.720 --> 00:28:55.039
imagine i've never had anything like that ever

00:28:55.039 --> 00:28:57.920
so that was kind of confusing at some point too

00:28:57.920 --> 00:29:01.390
and so When Jesus is describing to Nicodemus

00:29:01.390 --> 00:29:03.450
about being born of the spirit. He said something

00:29:03.450 --> 00:29:06.029
like it's like the wind he compares it to the

00:29:06.029 --> 00:29:09.190
wind too He says you know not where it comes

00:29:09.190 --> 00:29:11.910
from or where it goes So are those who are born

00:29:11.910 --> 00:29:13.890
of the spirit what he's meaning by that because

00:29:13.890 --> 00:29:15.529
I don't think people really understand what that

00:29:15.529 --> 00:29:17.109
means But all I can say is that he's completely

00:29:17.109 --> 00:29:19.349
unpredictable the wind sometimes goes here goes

00:29:19.349 --> 00:29:21.630
there and you don't know what he's gonna do But

00:29:21.630 --> 00:29:24.730
I know one things for sure He knows way more

00:29:24.730 --> 00:29:27.109
than any human that's on the planet will ever

00:29:27.109 --> 00:29:30.309
know He's so big, he's so massive, there's so

00:29:30.309 --> 00:29:32.930
much beautiful wisdom that we can't even begin

00:29:32.930 --> 00:29:36.349
to fathom, that if we just had one speck of it,

00:29:36.569 --> 00:29:38.210
we would think it's the most amazing thing on

00:29:38.210 --> 00:29:41.349
earth, and he's got tons of it, every nanosecond,

00:29:41.349 --> 00:29:44.690
you can't imagine it. It's too much. I mean,

00:29:44.730 --> 00:29:46.529
there's so much more that I could go into detail,

00:29:46.549 --> 00:29:48.250
but I don't even know if that answers your question,

00:29:48.289 --> 00:29:50.569
but that's the best way that I can describe it.

00:29:50.930 --> 00:29:53.839
I appreciate you using the term wisdom. versus

00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:56.980
he's really smart or something like that. Wisdom

00:29:56.980 --> 00:29:59.599
is such a better term for that. I've got one

00:29:59.599 --> 00:30:02.299
other question, but before I forget, if you'll

00:30:02.299 --> 00:30:05.640
give me some contact info for you in case anybody

00:30:05.640 --> 00:30:08.440
wants to reach out a website or whatever, we'll

00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:11.019
stick that in the show notes for everybody. And

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:13.359
the last question that I'd like you to wrap up

00:30:13.359 --> 00:30:16.279
with is, this happened quite a few years ago.

00:30:16.819 --> 00:30:19.099
Greg, how has your life been different since

00:30:19.099 --> 00:30:22.450
this happened? Wow it's been there's been a lot

00:30:22.450 --> 00:30:25.309
of changes one of the biggest changes that started

00:30:25.309 --> 00:30:27.190
the whole domino effect of what i've been doing

00:30:27.190 --> 00:30:31.430
these days. Was when i was before him and then

00:30:31.430 --> 00:30:34.009
when i kind of woke up a little bit and i came

00:30:34.009 --> 00:30:36.730
back to earth. And i mentioned to you that my

00:30:36.730 --> 00:30:39.809
brother had come over and then we both were before

00:30:39.809 --> 00:30:42.250
him so we got to actually be before him together.

00:30:43.049 --> 00:30:44.710
I'm trying to remember actually whether it was

00:30:44.710 --> 00:30:46.809
before i remember whether it was before my brother

00:30:46.809 --> 00:30:49.660
got there or after. I kind of think it was before

00:30:49.660 --> 00:30:52.420
he got there. But the point is is that the first

00:30:52.420 --> 00:30:54.940
thing that was so impactful was I felt every

00:30:54.940 --> 00:30:57.859
doubt That I didn't even know I had I felt it

00:30:57.859 --> 00:31:02.579
down into my bones. I felt it all go away I no

00:31:02.579 --> 00:31:05.779
longer had any doubt and I still have absolutely

00:31:05.779 --> 00:31:10.019
no doubt that God is real that God exists and

00:31:10.019 --> 00:31:12.420
he may not be like everybody thinks he is because

00:31:12.420 --> 00:31:14.000
everybody's got their ideas of what they think

00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:17.059
God is like and I can almost guarantee that if

00:31:17.059 --> 00:31:19.920
one was not prepared or told certain information,

00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:22.000
that if they were ever before him, they wouldn't

00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:24.119
recognize him. I think I pointed it out to you

00:31:24.119 --> 00:31:27.119
too. Jesus, in this particular book, the Essene

00:31:27.119 --> 00:31:29.559
Gospel of Peace, was so interesting the way he

00:31:29.559 --> 00:31:31.839
worded it that I, I think I read it to you, but

00:31:31.839 --> 00:31:33.880
that I read the part where he talks, he kind

00:31:33.880 --> 00:31:36.019
of says a little bit about God and at the very

00:31:36.019 --> 00:31:37.619
end, and you'd never have any idea what he's

00:31:37.619 --> 00:31:39.779
talking about. And then at the very end of the

00:31:39.779 --> 00:31:42.019
sentence, he says, for this is God if you did

00:31:42.019 --> 00:31:45.029
but know it, because you wouldn't know. Unless

00:31:45.029 --> 00:31:46.690
somebody explained it to you, you're not going

00:31:46.690 --> 00:31:50.109
to know. And he describes them perfectly. When

00:31:50.109 --> 00:31:51.910
I say God is like water, I mean just look at

00:31:51.910 --> 00:31:53.990
how Jesus describes them. He literally calls

00:31:53.990 --> 00:31:58.509
it the holy streams. So he's also describing

00:31:58.509 --> 00:32:00.269
the same way as I saw him. That's why this book

00:32:00.269 --> 00:32:02.390
impacted me so much because it's the only book

00:32:02.390 --> 00:32:04.930
I've ever seen that described God correctly.

00:32:05.529 --> 00:32:07.750
Obviously I had direct experience and I had a

00:32:07.750 --> 00:32:10.769
witness with me and he marked my body, which

00:32:10.769 --> 00:32:12.930
was a whole other thing. This was very accurate.

00:32:13.099 --> 00:32:15.519
And I was very impressed by that and you go look

00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:17.259
up this book and this author and they're gonna

00:32:17.259 --> 00:32:19.000
Tell you he's a quack that this is a bunch of

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:21.539
garbage It's a bunch of nonsense and I probably

00:32:21.539 --> 00:32:23.259
would have believed that being a skeptic that

00:32:23.259 --> 00:32:26.400
I am But this was right and I don't know how

00:32:26.400 --> 00:32:28.700
do not know how I need to me. He's clearly been

00:32:28.700 --> 00:32:31.099
there That's what I can say jesus had been to

00:32:31.099 --> 00:32:34.079
these places and he had been baptized in spirit

00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.920
And also water and I don't think that was normal.

00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.119
I think that most people were just baptized in

00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:41.680
water I think that's the norm for the majority

00:32:41.680 --> 00:32:44.500
of people But to be baptized in the Spirit is

00:32:44.500 --> 00:32:48.200
a whole other thing. I don't know how people

00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:50.460
could make that happen. It obviously sometimes

00:32:50.460 --> 00:32:52.099
brings me sadness, though I know it's coming.

00:32:52.380 --> 00:32:54.539
And by the way, the whole world's gonna be baptized

00:32:54.539 --> 00:32:56.619
in Spirit, just so you know. That is something

00:32:56.619 --> 00:32:58.880
that's gonna be coming in the future. And I know

00:32:58.880 --> 00:33:00.559
people might think it's gonna be the most pleasant

00:33:00.559 --> 00:33:03.500
thing. Ironically, it won't be at first. It's

00:33:03.500 --> 00:33:05.380
gonna be painful, because everything's gonna

00:33:05.380 --> 00:33:07.539
be revealed. And when I say everything, I'm talking

00:33:07.539 --> 00:33:10.599
about everything. Every wrong that anybody's

00:33:10.599 --> 00:33:12.380
ever done, every wrong that you've ever done,

00:33:12.579 --> 00:33:14.720
it will all be revealed in a second. It's going

00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:16.940
to be a very short period of time and it's going

00:33:16.940 --> 00:33:19.759
to be extremely painful. Now granted, when it's

00:33:19.759 --> 00:33:22.460
all said and done, you're going to feel really,

00:33:22.460 --> 00:33:24.740
really good. It's all going to change and you'll

00:33:24.740 --> 00:33:27.220
find your father and your connection once again.

00:33:27.740 --> 00:33:29.819
The face of the earth will change and transform

00:33:29.819 --> 00:33:33.740
if we can survive the tumultuous times that we

00:33:33.740 --> 00:33:35.480
are going through and that we're going to go

00:33:35.480 --> 00:33:38.019
through. Things are gonna get pretty wild and

00:33:38.019 --> 00:33:40.000
some people say like oh don't be such a negative

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:42.759
person or a doomsday person I'm not saying that

00:33:42.759 --> 00:33:44.960
because in the end I will tell you that in the

00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.680
end eric It's always in a workout at the end.

00:33:47.859 --> 00:33:50.319
You know, there's no other way. It's already

00:33:50.319 --> 00:33:53.599
like written this in the stars That in the end

00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:55.819
everything's in a workout and and we will be

00:33:55.819 --> 00:33:58.180
okay But you know you go through growing pains

00:33:58.180 --> 00:33:59.579
kind of like when a woman's giving birth, you

00:33:59.579 --> 00:34:01.299
know It's painful and you're going through all

00:34:01.299 --> 00:34:03.200
this and the baby finally comes out and there's

00:34:03.200 --> 00:34:06.250
a relief and it's so beautiful and in the end

00:34:06.250 --> 00:34:08.309
it's going to be a very beautiful thing. All

00:34:08.309 --> 00:34:10.429
