00:07:08,190 light radio my friend hey my friend 134 00:07:11,089 --> 00:07:09,510 Keith thank you so much for having me 135 00:07:13,159 --> 00:07:11,099 back I love the way you introduce this 136 00:07:15,650 --> 00:07:13,169 it's particularly the spirituality of 137 00:07:17,290 --> 00:07:15,660 life and how the whole purpose of life 138 00:07:19,339 --> 00:07:17,300 is to be transformed into something 139 00:07:22,159 --> 00:07:19,349 blissful and joyous and that's what 140 00:07:24,770 --> 00:07:22,169 aging is potentially all about the 141 00:07:26,750 --> 00:07:24,780 secrets of aging are about it is the 142 00:07:29,060 --> 00:07:26,760 most profound stage of human development 143 00:07:31,129 --> 00:07:29,070 and the secrets are they this is your 144 00:07:34,010 --> 00:07:31,139 really final and biggest chance to get 145 00:07:36,879 --> 00:07:34,020 illumined to be enlightened and it's 146 00:07:41,149 --> 00:07:36,889 amazing how you use the word secret of 147 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:41,159 aging it's really no secret it's just 148 00:07:48,029 --> 00:07:44,050 that those who are aware 149 00:07:51,779 --> 00:07:48,039 as opposed to those who aren't does make 150 00:07:53,969 --> 00:07:51,789 it look at it at one thing if it's 151 00:07:56,010 --> 00:07:53,979 either foremost boomers for both most 152 00:07:57,839 --> 00:07:56,020 people my age is either too scary or too 153 00:07:59,820 --> 00:07:57,849 depressing or too far away to even want 154 00:08:02,909 --> 00:07:59,830 to talk about so for them it is scary 155 00:08:04,740 --> 00:08:02,919 because aging you know for our whole 156 00:08:06,899 --> 00:08:04,750 life experience has always been 157 00:08:08,610 --> 00:08:06,909 associated with you know decrepitude and 158 00:08:10,140 --> 00:08:08,620 dying and so nobody wants to go there 159 00:08:12,779 --> 00:08:10,150 especially boomers who think that can 160 00:08:15,659 --> 00:08:12,789 conquer it with you know with the gels 161 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:15,669 and exercise and and so am surgeries and 162 00:08:21,149 --> 00:08:17,650 so forth but the truth is that if you 163 00:08:22,770 --> 00:08:21,159 just take the time to to experience it 164 00:08:24,450 --> 00:08:22,780 it will show you the way in what's 165 00:08:28,459 --> 00:08:24,460 inside of it is an entirely new 166 00:08:30,809 --> 00:08:28,469 revelation of life what life's for 167 00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:30,819 something I've been wanting to ask you 168 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:33,760 since I found you again to get you on 169 00:08:38,969 --> 00:08:36,370 this brand new platform for me inception 170 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:38,979 radio networks which I absolutely love a 171 00:08:42,540 --> 00:08:40,810 look forward to getting in this chair 172 00:08:45,180 --> 00:08:42,550 and in front this microphone and 173 00:08:48,269 --> 00:08:45,190 interviewing phenomenal people who walk 174 00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:48,279 the talk like yourself jhansi Robinson 175 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:50,140 question I've been wanting to ask you 176 00:08:53,519 --> 00:08:51,730 since I booked you a month ago it came 177 00:08:55,560 --> 00:08:53,529 to me very strongly yet again today 178 00:08:57,630 --> 00:08:55,570 because when I asked you in the last 179 00:08:59,880 --> 00:08:57,640 interview the question was and your 180 00:09:04,199 --> 00:08:59,890 answer was just really really the one I 181 00:09:07,889 --> 00:09:04,209 was hoping for but as we move closer to 182 00:09:10,740 --> 00:09:07,899 the interval of our passing to the other 183 00:09:12,269 --> 00:09:10,750 side going back home yes pan into 184 00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:12,279 expanded state of consciousness my 185 00:09:18,510 --> 00:09:16,630 question that I put to you sir was we 186 00:09:19,889 --> 00:09:18,520 know that every day we're getting closer 187 00:09:23,010 --> 00:09:19,899 we know that every week we're getting 188 00:09:25,980 --> 00:09:23,020 even closer and every year and so the 189 00:09:29,639 --> 00:09:25,990 intervals between our thoughts about our 190 00:09:34,170 --> 00:09:29,649 passing I would think get a little 191 00:09:37,650 --> 00:09:34,180 nearer just but in so doing is there an 192 00:09:40,889 --> 00:09:37,660 equally an equal ratio reciprocal 193 00:09:45,030 --> 00:09:40,899 give-and-take which is the amount of 194 00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:45,040 grace one feels about their death the 195 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:49,570 closer they get to their death yes I 196 00:09:55,380 --> 00:09:51,610 think you're really onto something very 197 00:09:57,210 --> 00:09:55,390 important and at 69 I'm already begin to 198 00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:57,220 feel it and append particularly when 199 00:09:59,880 --> 00:09:57,760 you've had a 200 00:10:01,950 --> 00:09:59,890 number of brushes with various diagnosis 201 00:10:04,260 --> 00:10:01,960 or surgeries that take your right to the 202 00:10:07,380 --> 00:10:04,270 edge or could take you to the edge your 203 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:07,390 consciousness begins to change you begin 204 00:10:11,670 --> 00:10:09,730 to have a I think the unconscious and 205 00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:11,680 the spiritual consciousness knows how to 206 00:10:16,380 --> 00:10:14,800 dye your body knows how to dye it only 207 00:10:18,750 --> 00:10:16,390 really begins when the process is 208 00:10:19,950 --> 00:10:18,760 starting so when you're 25 or 30 you 209 00:10:22,050 --> 00:10:19,960 know your light years away from 210 00:10:24,330 --> 00:10:22,060 understanding that but when you're in 211 00:10:26,460 --> 00:10:24,340 your seventies you know and you relax 212 00:10:28,830 --> 00:10:26,470 into the process of aging you begin to 213 00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:28,840 realize that this like a cautious like 214 00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:33,760 one of those one of those people movers 215 00:10:38,250 --> 00:10:35,680 in an airport you just stand still and 216 00:10:40,350 --> 00:10:38,260 it moves you forward into a new state of 217 00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:40,360 consciousness where you say you begin to 218 00:10:45,150 --> 00:10:42,880 have intuitions both of the ease of 219 00:10:46,890 --> 00:10:45,160 dying and of what's coming on the other 220 00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:46,900 side it's almost like the veil baguettes 221 00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:49,690 baguettes thinner yeah this thing people 222 00:10:53,010 --> 00:10:51,190 think that when you die that it just 223 00:10:55,950 --> 00:10:53,020 happens and you're done and it's gone 224 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:55,960 but you know process that happens every 225 00:11:00,030 --> 00:10:58,330 day that you are alive so to speak and 226 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:00,040 of course it has starts to exponentiate 227 00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:02,410 towards you get you the climax or the 228 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:04,510 zine of the graduating point you had 229 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:08,890 said the body knows how to die so my 230 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:11,680 question to you is you said a minute ago 231 00:11:21,060 --> 00:11:15,250 at the age of 69 I am starting to feel 232 00:11:26,190 --> 00:11:21,070 it what does that feel like so us on not 233 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:26,200 there at 69 yet can actually know when 234 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:29,680 those subtler finer delicate energies of 235 00:11:35,310 --> 00:11:32,650 becoming present so we can maybe have a 236 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:35,320 head start from a gleam something from 237 00:11:40,830 --> 00:11:38,290 your coming into your own sure you know 238 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:40,840 there's a lot of subtle changes in this 239 00:11:45,150 --> 00:11:42,610 period that are out what I've called 240 00:11:46,410 --> 00:11:45,160 enlightenment in slow motion they won't 241 00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:46,420 affect you if you don't know about that 242 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:49,510 but attention if you pay attention you 243 00:11:54,030 --> 00:11:51,730 can notice some things changing and you 244 00:11:55,560 --> 00:11:54,040 and you say oh my gosh this is where the 245 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:55,570 the Mystics and the gurus have been 246 00:12:00,000 --> 00:11:57,250 talking about and it's happening to me 247 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:00,010 let me give you some examples there's a 248 00:12:04,650 --> 00:12:03,010 gradual fading of identity of as if who 249 00:12:07,020 --> 00:12:04,660 you think you are or who you're supposed 250 00:12:08,970 --> 00:12:07,030 to be is really not very important and 251 00:12:11,460 --> 00:12:08,980 actually you begin to realize it doesn't 252 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:11,470 exist at all it's just a construction 253 00:12:15,330 --> 00:12:13,450 your own mic because right here and 254 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:15,340 right now there's only this this 255 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:17,890 consciousness in which we float that if 256 00:12:21,990 --> 00:12:20,410 we get in touch with begins to bring us 257 00:12:26,010 --> 00:12:22,000 incredible feelings of bliss and 258 00:12:28,050 --> 00:12:26,020 serenity there's also in this process of 259 00:12:30,780 --> 00:12:28,060 changing consciousness as a relief that 260 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:30,790 we don't have to be anybody anymore you 261 00:12:35,130 --> 00:12:33,010 don't have to put on that the the 262 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:35,140 costume of identity and be somebody 263 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:36,850 important and pursue goals because that 264 00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:38,890 was all part of the middle years the 265 00:12:43,140 --> 00:12:40,870 middle years are gone and it's a mixed 266 00:12:45,390 --> 00:12:43,150 blessing because then you know you early 267 00:12:46,890 --> 00:12:45,400 boomers want their like conquer aging 268 00:12:48,420 --> 00:12:46,900 with the same philosophy as the middle 269 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:48,430 years but it won't work you need to let 270 00:12:52,230 --> 00:12:50,050 that whole thing go like one of the many 271 00:12:54,060 --> 00:12:52,240 skins you've let go before and you're in 272 00:12:56,010 --> 00:12:54,070 your life and allow your tray or 273 00:12:59,370 --> 00:12:56,020 consciousness to be transformed into a 274 00:13:02,130 --> 00:12:59,380 much wider more open more spacious one 275 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:02,140 and then what happens is time becomes 276 00:13:07,010 --> 00:13:04,450 less important clock day planner 277 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:07,020 calendar they they don't much anymore 278 00:13:12,330 --> 00:13:10,690 the whole high gear thing is gone so we 279 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:12,340 don't worry about doing things quickly 280 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:15,010 and increasingly you drop into a kind of 281 00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:17,770 a silent thoughtless consciousness you 282 00:13:21,570 --> 00:13:19,990 know like you're looking out the window 283 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:21,580 and you can can't see the dust motes 284 00:13:25,230 --> 00:13:23,650 kind of floating in the Sun and for a 285 00:13:28,260 --> 00:13:25,240 moment you're not there you're just in 286 00:13:30,630 --> 00:13:28,270 this space beyond identity and it's an 287 00:13:32,610 --> 00:13:30,640 intimation of the consciousness that's 288 00:13:35,730 --> 00:13:32,620 always here but that you're beginning to 289 00:13:37,980 --> 00:13:35,740 dissolve into so yeah what a great way 290 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:37,990 to say we dissolve into so it's no 291 00:13:42,930 --> 00:13:40,450 longer about superficiality it's about 292 00:13:44,730 --> 00:13:42,940 depth it's about meaning all that 293 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:44,740 frivolous stuff all those bells and 294 00:13:50,190 --> 00:13:46,210 whistles begin to follow up all the way 295 00:13:54,030 --> 00:13:50,200 because now there's more presence about 296 00:13:56,070 --> 00:13:54,040 depth we can equate depth to spirit that 297 00:13:59,370 --> 00:13:56,080 which is real that which is meaningful 298 00:14:02,460 --> 00:13:59,380 so again what the closer someone gets to 299 00:14:04,500 --> 00:14:02,470 their time of passing there's an equal 300 00:14:06,870 --> 00:14:04,510 amount of grace when I said grace I 301 00:14:09,510 --> 00:14:06,880 meant grace in the sense of grace that 302 00:14:13,290 --> 00:14:09,520 there's not this oh my gosh I'm getting 303 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:13,300 closer to death kind of worried yeah you 304 00:14:16,950 --> 00:14:14,530 know but you know most people actually 305 00:14:19,170 --> 00:14:16,960 at the end I very peacefully it's very 306 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:19,180 easy it's the struggle beforehand 307 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:20,850 because we have all these 308 00:14:24,060 --> 00:14:23,290 misunderstandings about what death is 309 00:14:27,060 --> 00:14:24,070 and if we've got 310 00:14:29,610 --> 00:14:27,070 some hell and and and brim fire kind of 311 00:14:31,110 --> 00:14:29,620 teach early teachings of that death is 312 00:14:32,730 --> 00:14:31,120 going to lead to hell and damnation and 313 00:14:34,410 --> 00:14:32,740 judgment then of course we're really 314 00:14:36,570 --> 00:14:34,420 scared but in truth that's not where it 315 00:14:39,630 --> 00:14:36,580 goes that stuff just has to be burned 316 00:14:42,750 --> 00:14:39,640 away like karma so you can relax into 317 00:14:44,970 --> 00:14:42,760 the presence the divine presence and and 318 00:14:47,910 --> 00:14:44,980 let it just come in mix with you like 319 00:14:50,310 --> 00:14:47,920 two gases mixing and then it's all right 320 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:50,320 you know then there's a great deep you 321 00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:52,450 know relaxation breath and then you're 322 00:14:56,910 --> 00:14:55,360 gone I have a really good question or a 323 00:14:58,410 --> 00:14:56,920 good point and I would like you to 324 00:15:01,560 --> 00:14:58,420 support the point or answer the question 325 00:15:03,930 --> 00:15:01,570 yeah I'm channeling it I literally chant 326 00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:03,940 chanting at right now because I have it 327 00:15:11,250 --> 00:15:08,800 in the form of an idea concept because 328 00:15:13,050 --> 00:15:11,260 of people like you who gives us the 329 00:15:14,910 --> 00:15:13,060 listening audience information about how 330 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:14,920 it feel knowing what you know the 331 00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:16,570 research you've done the practice that 332 00:15:23,850 --> 00:15:20,800 you have lived giving us the information 333 00:15:26,910 --> 00:15:23,860 for example when you stated that I feel 334 00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:26,920 it coming on at the age of 69 so if we 335 00:15:32,940 --> 00:15:28,870 can learn be it through you your books 336 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:32,950 or just self awareness practice that if 337 00:15:38,670 --> 00:15:36,130 we can start detecting those changes day 338 00:15:40,350 --> 00:15:38,680 by day week by week and start to see 339 00:15:41,970 --> 00:15:40,360 things starting to move and get lighter 340 00:15:43,620 --> 00:15:41,980 and subtle and our focus begins to shift 341 00:15:46,310 --> 00:15:43,630 on that which is no longer important and 342 00:15:50,190 --> 00:15:46,320 all these things we could actually 343 00:15:52,710 --> 00:15:50,200 perfect our transition say I'm 51 and I 344 00:15:56,700 --> 00:15:52,720 decide I'm going to die at 85 86 years 345 00:16:00,560 --> 00:15:56,710 old but at the age of 51 I can perfect 346 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:00,570 my transition process so that when the 347 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:04,210 taxicab does pull up there's no hiccup 348 00:16:11,750 --> 00:16:07,330 there's no jerk there's no blackout that 349 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:11,760 is truly an amalgamation a crossfade a 350 00:16:17,130 --> 00:16:14,170 transition and an effortless one with no 351 00:16:18,810 --> 00:16:17,140 sense of dizziness or fogginess or spin 352 00:16:21,180 --> 00:16:18,820 kind of idea that what does that make 353 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:21,190 any sense to you oh yeah it does and I 354 00:16:24,810 --> 00:16:22,930 think that as it's a very important 355 00:16:27,390 --> 00:16:24,820 practice aging aging is a spiritual 356 00:16:29,730 --> 00:16:27,400 practice and as you learn to live in a 357 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:29,740 consciousness without thought you know 358 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:31,570 in a spacious consciousness where you're 359 00:16:35,310 --> 00:16:33,850 not caught up in thought or even 360 00:16:36,860 --> 00:16:35,320 believing in your own thoughts because 361 00:16:39,650 --> 00:16:36,870 they're all forms of delusion 362 00:16:42,140 --> 00:16:39,660 the stage when you live as free of 363 00:16:43,730 --> 00:16:42,150 thought then yes those may come up and 364 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:43,740 at the end you might suddenly get an old 365 00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:45,450 fear that you thought forgot about a 366 00:16:49,430 --> 00:16:47,310 long time ago but the key is to let it 367 00:16:50,900 --> 00:16:49,440 come and let it go and return you know 368 00:16:52,579 --> 00:16:50,910 you don't get it get on it like a horse 369 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:52,589 and right off their sense of you you 370 00:16:56,450 --> 00:16:55,050 just let it pass through and the next 371 00:16:59,480 --> 00:16:56,460 thing you know you're back in that space 372 00:17:01,460 --> 00:16:59,490 again and everything's okay so does the 373 00:17:03,500 --> 00:17:01,470 letting go process getting easier as 374 00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:03,510 well or is that something we should take 375 00:17:07,970 --> 00:17:05,600 upon ourselves now absolutely of course 376 00:17:09,650 --> 00:17:07,980 the DI the practice of letting go 377 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:09,660 releasing that which is tangent that 378 00:17:13,579 --> 00:17:11,490 which is not real just even beliefs and 379 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:13,589 all these things the practice of letting 380 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:17,010 go but does it come again yet as part of 381 00:17:21,049 --> 00:17:19,050 that grace that when those thoughts 382 00:17:24,020 --> 00:17:21,059 might come in being raised Catholic a 383 00:17:27,290 --> 00:17:24,030 devil hellfire damnation right know that 384 00:17:32,330 --> 00:17:27,300 may come in in my senior years is the 385 00:17:33,710 --> 00:17:32,340 same grace administered through being 386 00:17:37,100 --> 00:17:33,720 able to let it go a lot easier than 387 00:17:39,110 --> 00:17:37,110 previous times in life sure I mean aging 388 00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:39,120 is all about letting go aging is all 389 00:17:43,850 --> 00:17:41,760 about a series of losses of who you 390 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:43,860 think you are an event of health and of 391 00:17:48,350 --> 00:17:46,410 a certain kind of physical mobility and 392 00:17:50,510 --> 00:17:48,360 of dreams of the future and of all end 393 00:17:52,730 --> 00:17:50,520 of your importance of society but all of 394 00:17:54,770 --> 00:17:52,740 those actually are useful because when 395 00:17:57,169 --> 00:17:54,780 you let them go they open the space that 396 00:17:59,330 --> 00:17:57,179 they open much more space for you to be 397 00:18:02,600 --> 00:17:59,340 in the presence and to be in the 398 00:18:05,060 --> 00:18:02,610 presences to be in grace so when you're 399 00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:05,070 when you here free of thoughts wide 400 00:18:11,270 --> 00:18:09,330 awake um in the moment what happens is 401 00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:11,280 that consciousness is not yours its 402 00:18:15,770 --> 00:18:12,840 really the divine consciousness that 403 00:18:17,690 --> 00:18:15,780 really got body and so as long as you're 404 00:18:19,669 --> 00:18:17,700 not intellectually separating yourself 405 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:19,679 from all that by believing in yourself 406 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:22,530 as all that goes it's all right you're 407 00:18:27,919 --> 00:18:25,170 the whole thing I think the divine human 408 00:18:30,830 --> 00:18:27,929 really is way where we're heading and I 409 00:18:32,419 --> 00:18:30,840 n is particularly available as we age 410 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:32,429 because there's this huge new 411 00:18:36,049 --> 00:18:34,410 developmental stage called aging which 412 00:18:37,970 --> 00:18:36,059 is like 20 years longer than it ever 413 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:37,980 used to be in the human life cycle it's 414 00:18:42,890 --> 00:18:40,770 a brand new developmental stage and as 415 00:18:44,690 --> 00:18:42,900 all these ideas about ourselves and our 416 00:18:47,510 --> 00:18:44,700 attachments our security and all that 417 00:18:49,110 --> 00:18:47,520 stuff goes away what's left is always 418 00:18:51,510 --> 00:18:49,120 consciousness and 419 00:18:53,250 --> 00:18:51,520 sciousness is presence I'm is very 420 00:18:55,860 --> 00:18:53,260 exciting when you realize that wow I may 421 00:18:59,280 --> 00:18:55,870 lose everything but get at all because 422 00:19:01,350 --> 00:18:59,290 this is it you and mention that we're 423 00:19:03,630 --> 00:19:01,360 headed towards becoming the divine human 424 00:19:07,380 --> 00:19:03,640 the word human and of itself is divine 425 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:07,390 the word hue is another name for God in 426 00:19:16,410 --> 00:19:11,850 eckankar the religion of sound and light 427 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:16,420 in accents Hugh means Divine a man is of 428 00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:19,690 the earth so we are naturally that is 429 00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:24,370 just that we know forgot exactly we knew 430 00:19:28,020 --> 00:19:26,320 it as young children we were grounded in 431 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:28,030 the divinity of our own being and then 432 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:30,970 family culture school peers all caught 433 00:19:35,070 --> 00:19:32,890 us up in this sense of pursuing an 434 00:19:37,140 --> 00:19:35,080 identity and at this constant project of 435 00:19:40,169 --> 00:19:37,150 improving yourself and your resume and 436 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:40,179 that took over four decades and and then 437 00:19:44,370 --> 00:19:42,250 the final stage of life what happens is 438 00:19:47,340 --> 00:19:44,380 that whole thing begins to dissolve 439 00:19:49,410 --> 00:19:47,350 disappear you know you know like like 440 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:49,420 fog in the Sun and then you realize that 441 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:51,490 was all you would chase it you're 442 00:19:55,169 --> 00:19:53,170 running in circles you were chasing your 443 00:19:57,030 --> 00:19:55,179 tail because what's here now is what 444 00:19:59,490 --> 00:19:57,040 you've always been looking for you just 445 00:20:01,169 --> 00:19:59,500 tried to find it someplace else you know 446 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:01,179 I've always said that when the first 447 00:20:06,510 --> 00:20:04,570 first word a child no child learns that 448 00:20:09,540 --> 00:20:06,520 represents separation is the word know 449 00:20:10,740 --> 00:20:09,550 the reason young infants grab the things 450 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:10,750 on the coffee table that your 451 00:20:14,730 --> 00:20:12,010 grandmother gave you that are made out 452 00:20:17,130 --> 00:20:14,740 of glass it's because they know they can 453 00:20:19,770 --> 00:20:17,140 they know it absolutely belongs to them 454 00:20:21,900 --> 00:20:19,780 they are not separate from those things 455 00:20:24,270 --> 00:20:21,910 that they are fondling with and telling 456 00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:24,280 lies we drive it absolutely and then we 457 00:20:29,220 --> 00:20:27,070 say no and that very first no cuts that 458 00:20:32,910 --> 00:20:29,230 dagger right through the experience says 459 00:20:36,630 --> 00:20:32,920 you are now you and this is now that yes 460 00:20:38,850 --> 00:20:36,640 it doesn't belong to you right and share 461 00:20:40,260 --> 00:20:38,860 your things and I'm separate from you 462 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:40,270 and your brothers better than you are 463 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:43,090 and blah blah blah and it's a very sad 464 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:50,860 and then karma comes comes into play why 465 00:20:55,420 --> 00:20:53,290 did we incarnate in this particular 466 00:20:56,860 --> 00:20:55,430 continent this particular stateless 467 00:20:59,860 --> 00:20:56,870 particular city into this particular 468 00:21:05,620 --> 00:20:59,870 family just to hear the word no so there 469 00:21:07,060 --> 00:21:05,630 is so many variables yeah but it's all 470 00:21:09,850 --> 00:21:07,070 about it's like you say it's all about 471 00:21:13,330 --> 00:21:09,860 waking up and when a Qing is that is the 472 00:21:15,070 --> 00:21:13,340 great awakener because you know you know 473 00:21:16,420 --> 00:21:15,080 you it's going to end you that you can't 474 00:21:18,220 --> 00:21:16,430 keep putting it off and so if you're 475 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:18,230 going to understand yourself now is the 476 00:21:22,390 --> 00:21:20,570 time and the more awake you become the 477 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:22,400 more you realize that you you have been 478 00:21:28,540 --> 00:21:26,930 living a life of illusion because you 479 00:21:29,890 --> 00:21:28,550 have already been in the divine world 480 00:21:31,630 --> 00:21:29,900 one of the things that happens in the 481 00:21:33,610 --> 00:21:31,640 mystical experiences that people not 482 00:21:36,790 --> 00:21:33,620 only feel a presence and feel surrounded 483 00:21:39,580 --> 00:21:36,800 and and perfused with divinity but the 484 00:21:41,950 --> 00:21:39,590 world itself becomes beautiful and 485 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:41,960 bright and clear almost like hyper hyper 486 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:44,930 real painting or photograph so and 487 00:21:48,910 --> 00:21:46,610 everything becomes luminous in this 488 00:21:51,490 --> 00:21:48,920 mystical experience and so that you 489 00:21:53,740 --> 00:21:51,500 begin to realize that we didn't lose the 490 00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:53,750 garden is already always been here we 491 00:21:57,190 --> 00:21:55,280 just left it on our own accord because 492 00:21:58,960 --> 00:21:57,200 we thought that that we had to become 493 00:22:01,900 --> 00:21:58,970 somebody important to get what we needed 494 00:22:04,660 --> 00:22:01,910 and as that somebody important melts 495 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:04,670 away like a wax statue in the Sun we we 496 00:22:09,220 --> 00:22:07,250 are back to that place we started as TS 497 00:22:11,470 --> 00:22:09,230 Eliot set and it's spectacularly 498 00:22:14,110 --> 00:22:11,480 beautiful this we've always been in the 499 00:22:16,330 --> 00:22:14,120 garden we've always been sacred and this 500 00:22:17,890 --> 00:22:16,340 is what we need this is why grandparents 501 00:22:20,140 --> 00:22:17,900 collude with grandchildren whether 502 00:22:21,610 --> 00:22:20,150 knowing or unknowingly because they 503 00:22:23,110 --> 00:22:21,620 realize that their grandchildren are 504 00:22:24,610 --> 00:22:23,120 still in the garden and they're trying 505 00:22:26,530 --> 00:22:24,620 to help them stay there longer before 506 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:26,540 the parents suck them into the world of 507 00:22:31,900 --> 00:22:29,330 you know accomplishments and resumes and 508 00:22:34,090 --> 00:22:31,910 grades yeah yeah and that's why I think 509 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:34,100 my grant Mike one of my grandmother's in 510 00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:36,290 particular was such a soft place to fall 511 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:39,110 yeah there's nothing like the grand 512 00:22:46,450 --> 00:22:42,610 mother's bosom nothing I mean grandpa 513 00:22:50,140 --> 00:22:46,460 yeah there's an incarnation of the 514 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:50,150 divine in that moment absolutely you 515 00:22:55,990 --> 00:22:53,090 were talking about the world as you age 516 00:22:58,150 --> 00:22:56,000 it becomes a lumen there's a light 517 00:23:00,669 --> 00:22:58,160 there's of God fire there's a beauty 518 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:00,679 there's an all miss about it 519 00:23:08,019 --> 00:23:02,570 I'm wondering if that is preparing for 520 00:23:11,590 --> 00:23:08,029 our own illumination um getting us ready 521 00:23:13,690 --> 00:23:11,600 for the light yeah but is it is 522 00:23:16,029 --> 00:23:13,700 rumination the light is already shining 523 00:23:17,919 --> 00:23:16,039 the light is shining in us and that 524 00:23:19,989 --> 00:23:17,929 affects you know our capacity to see the 525 00:23:21,850 --> 00:23:19,999 light all around us and it's so that 526 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:21,860 that's why see if we if we're afraid of 527 00:23:25,779 --> 00:23:23,570 this thing we say oh my god I must have 528 00:23:27,549 --> 00:23:25,789 had a bad day or you know I on the wrong 529 00:23:29,259 --> 00:23:27,559 medication or something and we dismiss 530 00:23:32,139 --> 00:23:29,269 it that's why it's so important that 531 00:23:34,539 --> 00:23:32,149 everything you've experienced that you 532 00:23:36,789 --> 00:23:34,549 try to experience it fully because in it 533 00:23:41,350 --> 00:23:36,799 is is the unfolding path of your 534 00:23:45,009 --> 00:23:41,360 transformation John why your fascination 535 00:23:46,450 --> 00:23:45,019 with aging and death did you have an 536 00:23:48,759 --> 00:23:46,460 experience have you worked we have 537 00:23:50,950 --> 00:23:48,769 clients that have near-death experience 538 00:23:54,039 --> 00:23:50,960 have you done some studying what brought 539 00:23:56,139 --> 00:23:54,049 you to this place of wanting to empower 540 00:23:59,950 --> 00:23:56,149 people about this beautiful process of 541 00:24:01,359 --> 00:23:59,960 life ironically death well you know it's 542 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:01,369 interesting that you should ask when I 543 00:24:06,789 --> 00:24:04,610 when I was 14 I had I know when 544 00:24:08,529 --> 00:24:06,799 open-heart surgery for atrial septal 545 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:08,539 defect a hole in the upper two chambers 546 00:24:14,049 --> 00:24:11,450 of the heart and in that in that surgery 547 00:24:15,999 --> 00:24:14,059 I actually woke up and I woke and they 548 00:24:18,460 --> 00:24:16,009 didn't know it but I did I woke up and I 549 00:24:21,100 --> 00:24:18,470 could feel the surgeons hands inside my 550 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:21,110 heart I could feel the coldness I in and 551 00:24:24,489 --> 00:24:22,369 that's in that experience you're 552 00:24:26,350 --> 00:24:24,499 paralyzed your you've got blindfold over 553 00:24:28,330 --> 00:24:26,360 your eyes that we're body temperatures 554 00:24:30,279 --> 00:24:28,340 tuned way down your heart is stopped and 555 00:24:32,889 --> 00:24:30,289 the heart-lung machine is plugged in but 556 00:24:35,109 --> 00:24:32,899 I had an experience of death I mean this 557 00:24:37,330 --> 00:24:35,119 was like a living autopsy I was aware of 558 00:24:39,759 --> 00:24:37,340 this state I was aware of my chest open 559 00:24:42,009 --> 00:24:39,769 it was a riffic experience and it's 560 00:24:44,230 --> 00:24:42,019 taken me well i repressed the whole 561 00:24:47,379 --> 00:24:44,240 thing for 40 years and 40 years to the 562 00:24:48,460 --> 00:24:47,389 month I had a I was cardioverted you 563 00:24:50,409 --> 00:24:48,470 know where they give a shock to your 564 00:24:52,810 --> 00:24:50,419 chest because of atrial fibrillation and 565 00:24:55,090 --> 00:24:52,820 it all came back and so that the whole 566 00:24:57,489 --> 00:24:55,100 process for me was like in a shamanic 567 00:24:59,200 --> 00:24:57,499 initiation just delayed for 40 years 568 00:25:01,149 --> 00:24:59,210 because at 14 I should have had it at 569 00:25:03,369 --> 00:25:01,159 that age but the whole thing was so 570 00:25:05,980 --> 00:25:03,379 catastrophic that my psyche protected me 571 00:25:08,409 --> 00:25:05,990 by separating it off but when it came 572 00:25:12,159 --> 00:25:08,419 back I realized that that part of my 573 00:25:13,869 --> 00:25:12,169 calling here was to get back in touch 574 00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:13,879 with this experience to realize that I 575 00:25:20,120 --> 00:25:14,310 am 576 00:25:22,910 --> 00:25:20,130 not these expectations I have and what a 577 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:22,920 relief that is and if we only didn't get 578 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:24,570 so tangled up in our thoughts about 579 00:25:29,180 --> 00:25:26,250 ourselves we would find out that we're 580 00:25:31,850 --> 00:25:29,190 already we're already not only defined 581 00:25:33,500 --> 00:25:31,860 but we're already eternal the forms will 582 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:33,510 change but the consciousness goes on 583 00:25:38,660 --> 00:25:37,050 forever so I had an ear I had what you 584 00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:38,670 might call a near-death experience not 585 00:25:42,350 --> 00:25:40,710 an out of body type but it the type that 586 00:25:44,900 --> 00:25:42,360 said this is what it looks like this is 587 00:25:46,700 --> 00:25:44,910 what it is but it's but in fact it isn't 588 00:25:48,650 --> 00:25:46,710 this is actually something much more 589 00:25:53,210 --> 00:25:48,660 grams so you did have enough of a 590 00:25:55,910 --> 00:25:53,220 glimpse to capture a feeling of and more 591 00:25:58,310 --> 00:25:55,920 expanded awareness about it versus being 592 00:26:01,160 --> 00:25:58,320 like quote one of us on this side just 593 00:26:03,050 --> 00:26:01,170 kind of guessing and assuming yeah I had 594 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:03,060 a taste of it yeah well and you have 595 00:26:07,700 --> 00:26:05,250 also found that in my older years here 596 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:07,710 when somebody dies on close to it's as 597 00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:09,570 if a window opens through their dying 598 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:11,370 and I can follow them for a period of 599 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:13,890 time when my mother died you know I was 600 00:26:18,110 --> 00:26:16,410 really had a sense that i could continue 601 00:26:20,630 --> 00:26:18,120 communicating with her and find out what 602 00:26:22,790 --> 00:26:20,640 she was doing next and and what her 603 00:26:25,340 --> 00:26:22,800 struggle was after that and also with my 604 00:26:26,930 --> 00:26:25,350 father and a nephew that died and it's 605 00:26:29,900 --> 00:26:26,940 been kind of wonderful following these 606 00:26:31,730 --> 00:26:29,910 people to see how they've come to terms 607 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:31,740 with what happened and how they moved on 608 00:26:37,460 --> 00:26:33,330 with their life now in this next world 609 00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:37,470 the window opens at the the the capacity 610 00:26:42,410 --> 00:26:40,080 to to experience the consciousness that 611 00:26:44,690 --> 00:26:42,420 embraces them all it's all coexisting 612 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:44,700 and as veil gets thinner you say oh I 613 00:26:49,370 --> 00:26:46,890 can still talk to her

through and there's a 669 00:28:55,909 --> 00:28:54,360 snap and so exactly when I flip that 670 00:28:58,549 --> 00:28:55,919 switch there was that sound so I 671 00:28:59,930 --> 00:28:58,559 attributed to that and then I hear it 672 00:29:02,299 --> 00:28:59,940 again and people are rushing towards to 673 00:29:04,070 --> 00:29:02,309 say stayed saying oh my god and I'm 674 00:29:05,840

after 677 00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:10,919 I felt confident that things were okay 678 00:29:18,470 --> 00:29:16,049 45 seconds minute later um I went around 679 00:29:21,860 --> 00:29:18,480 the room and I saw her laying on the 680 00:29:24,379 --> 00:29:21,870 floor dying and they were police officer 681 00:29:26,990 --> 00:29:24,389 were fans of the band paramedics and I'm 682 00:29:29,090 --> 00:29:27,000 running in in to her and a couple of 683 00:29:31,250 --> 00:29:29,100 cops say uh where you think you go and 684 00:29:32,990 --> 00:29:31,260 she's one of the main people there 685

yeah tragic and so 688 00:29:47,610 --> 00:29:46,090 as I walk up runnable I mean I get on 689 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:47,620 the floor with her and I put her hand 690 00:29:53,430 --> 00:29:50,650 and one in my hand and I put her head in 691 00:29:57,270 --> 00:29:53,440 my other and I began to talk to her and 692 00:30:00,690 --> 00:29:57,280 all the fear I had when that shot went 693 00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:00,700 off all the fear and anxiety and anger I 694 00:30:06,390 --> 00:30:03,600 was mad even before I knew was her um 695 00:30:10,590 --> 00:30:06,400 that took place when I touched her 696 00:30:13,650 --> 00:30:10,600 magically it stopped yeah it became 697 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:13,660 something very very beautiful why I felt 698 00:30:19,860 --> 00:30:16,690 honored I felt privileged yes blessed 699 00:30:23,100 --> 00:30:19,870 that her and God or higher Constance 700 00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:23,110 divine trusted me enough to be the 701 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:25,090 person who whispers sweet somethings in 702 00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:27,010 her ear as she was passing and that 703 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:30,640 experience for me as you said was not 704 00:30:38,700 --> 00:30:34,090 about death it was about an opening so 705 00:30:41,700 --> 00:30:38,710 through her dying I got to touch that 706 00:30:43,350 --> 00:30:41,710 place within myself that's beautiful

looks like a 710 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:50,230 horrible thing but yet when we're right 711 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:51,850 when we're right with it and touch it is 712 00:30:56,310 --> 00:30:54,850 not what we thought it was people who 713 00:30:58,890 --> 00:30:56,320 have out-of-body experiences when 714 00:31:00,240 --> 00:30:58,900 they're you know in a car accident or 715 00:31:01,830 --> 00:31:00,250 something they may be floating above 716 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:01,840 their body looking down and theirs and 717 00:31:05,310 --> 00:31:03,130 they're trying to communicate to the 718 00:31:07,289 --> 00:31:05,320 paramedics and say hey hey that's okay I 719 00:31:09,990 --> 00:31:07,299 feel great let me go you know I never 720 00:31:12,570 --> 00:31:10,000 felt so good you know I

756 00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:47,800 soul experiences when I've been to the 757 00:32:51,870 --> 00:32:50,290 other side not per se astral travel 758 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:51,880 though it might have been astral travel 759 00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:54,370 and higher forms this was more like a 760 00:33:00,720 --> 00:32:57,760 causal experience I was touching and 761 00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:00,730 can't there's no word in fact you're not 762 00:33:04,940 --> 00:33:02,770 supposed to use hard but no way i can 763 00:33:08,940 --> 00:33:04,950 describe with words there was like 764 00:33:11,580 --> 00:33:08,950 subtler and subtler layers and I was 765 00:33:14,850 --> 00:33:11,590 actually brought once brought came upon 766 00:33:19,110 --> 00:33:14,860 the Godhead excuse me and the experience 767 00:33:22,230 --> 00:33:19,120 that was about to happen was the only 768 00:33:24,660 --> 00:33:22,240 thing separating myself my conscious 769 00:33:27,870 --> 00:33:24,670 awareness from it which I absolutely 770 00:33:30,180 --> 00:33:27,880 knew without a doubt beyond myself in 771 00:33:33,330 --> 00:33:30,190 this layer was the Godhead and it dawned 772 00:33:36,570 --> 00:33:33,340 on me that what this layer was was a 773 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:36,580 thought in my mind it wasn't a wall it 774 00:33:42,030 --> 00:33:40,090 wasn't permission it was a belief in my 775 00:33:44,630 --> 00:33:42,040 head okay Keith you have now come upon 776 00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:44,640 the center of creation so in that 777 00:33:52,650 --> 00:33:47,410 declaration odd I've automatically had 778 00:33:55,950 --> 00:33:52,660 separated myself from it and I was truly 779 00:33:58,950 --> 00:33:55,960 given a glimpse and basically like a 780 00:34:00,990 --> 00:33:58,960 girl Kurt on a stage being lifted up 781 00:34:02,820 --> 00:34:01,000 real quick and dropped down again in a 782 00:34:05,250 --> 00:34:02,830 matter of a second I mean it happened 783 00:34:07,450 --> 00:34:05,260 that fast but in that second I was able 784 00:34:12,399 --> 00:34:07,460 to get a blast of light information 785 00:34:14,530 --> 00:34:12,409 knowledge experience I knew another part 786 00:34:16,629 --> 00:34:14,540 of the separation thought I knew that 787 00:34:19,389 --> 00:34:16,639 somewhere down there a gazillion miles 788 00:34:22,089 --> 00:34:19,399 down on bed was the body the identity 789 00:34:25,030 --> 00:34:22,099 Keith Blanchard all that is important to 790 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:25,040 him dang it and all my arrogance and all 791 00:34:30,700 --> 00:34:28,490 my beliefs all my subconscious Catholic 792 00:34:32,619 --> 00:34:30,710 believes in what I thought is right and 793 00:34:34,510 --> 00:34:32,629 wrong holy and blasphemous good and bad 794 00:34:39,849 --> 00:34:34,520 love enlightened all this cool stuff and 795 00:34:44,169 --> 00:34:39,859 I realize I was not ready to no pun 796 00:34:46,359 --> 00:34:44,179 intended died I am they showed me that 797 00:34:48,119 --> 00:34:46,369 glimpse in day which I can't explain it 798 00:34:50,349 --> 00:34:48,129 if you see no second movie The Matrix 799 00:34:52,930 --> 00:34:50,359 yeah when they're in the tunnel and they 800 00:34:56,290 --> 00:34:52,940 all just doing this primal tribal kind 801 00:34:58,990 --> 00:34:56,300 of passionate juicy stomping and dancing 802 00:35:01,030 --> 00:34:59,000 and celebratory kind of thing I have no 803 00:35:04,240 --> 00:35:01,040 other words describe it but it was like 804 00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:04,250 that and so obviously I chose not to 805 00:35:09,220 --> 00:35:06,530 walk into it because the the final part 806 00:35:11,589 --> 00:35:09,230 of the separate of thought was that if I 807 00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:11,599 walk into their I'm not going to come 808 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:14,089 back uh-huh well you've had a mystical 809 00:35:19,890 --> 00:35:16,490 experience that had near-death qualities 810 00:35:22,210 --> 00:35:19,900 to it that you know and in fact when you 811 00:35:24,490 --> 00:35:22,220 done a lot of workshops with people on 812 00:35:25,690 --> 00:35:24,500 mysticism and when I ask people when it 813 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:25,700 might explain to people what what a 814 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:27,770 mystical experience is that that kind of 815 00:35:33,310 --> 00:35:31,330 experience with experience of oneness or 816 00:35:34,750 --> 00:35:33,320 surrounded by a presence or a 817 00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:34,760 brightening of the light or a sense of 818 00:35:39,849 --> 00:35:37,250 unity almost everybody will raise their 819 00:35:41,650 --> 00:35:39,859 hands and say the end they can find when 820 00:35:44,050 --> 00:35:41,660 we've all had them because the divine is 821 00:35:46,990 --> 00:35:44,060 leaking into our experience all the time 822 00:35:49,270 --> 00:35:47,000 seekers like you and me try harder and 823 00:35:51,250 --> 00:35:49,280 so oftentimes we have bigger experiences 824 00:35:52,599 --> 00:35:51,260 like that but not necessarily such a lot 825 00:35:54,430 --> 00:35:52,609 of people have profound mystical 826 00:35:56,290 --> 00:35:54,440 experience who were not religious and 827 00:35:58,570 --> 00:35:56,300 not trying and suddenly they're walking 828 00:36:01,060 --> 00:35:58,580 across a field and it hits them and they 829 00:36:03,099 --> 00:36:01,070 are forever changed the thing is that 830 00:36:07,060 --> 00:36:03,109 what you're experiencing in that in that 831 00:36:10,420 --> 00:36:07,070 profound a mystical unity with the other 832 00:36:12,460 --> 00:36:10,430 is experiencing yourself that's the self 833 00:36:14,589 --> 00:36:12,470 with the capital s that's the Godhead 834 00:36:18,609 --> 00:36:14,599 that we always project outside ourselves 835 00:36:20,020 --> 00:36:18,619 and then try to find but the irony is of 836 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:20,030 course that we can't find it someplace 837 00:36:23,020 --> 00:36:21,290 else until we go with 838 00:36:25,420 --> 00:36:23,030 then and find it at like you say the 839 00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:25,430 bottom at the center of our own creation 840 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:28,250 and there it is and we still haven't 841 00:36:32,230 --> 00:36:30,290 tendency you know I'm spiritually 842 00:36:34,990 --> 00:36:32,240 looming your spiritual element we're all 843 00:36:36,670 --> 00:36:35,000 spirits with right and we know all the 844 00:36:38,260 --> 00:36:36,680 truths and we know all the principles 845 00:36:41,020 --> 00:36:38,270 when all the techniques we know exactly 846 00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:41,030 where it is to find it we still keep 847 00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:44,810 looking outside well roomy wonder if the 848 00:36:50,410 --> 00:36:46,610 wonderful Sufi poet said none of us have 849 00:36:53,530 --> 00:36:50,420 gone far which is probably an apt 850 00:36:54,940 --> 00:36:53,540 description haha and you know and then 851 00:36:56,500 --> 00:36:54,950 there's the other side of that coin and 852 00:36:58,030 --> 00:36:56,510 fact is the whole coin it's there's not 853 00:37:00,190 --> 00:36:58,040 an inside there's not an outside all 854 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:00,200 there is is really an inside yeah that 855 00:37:04,660 --> 00:37:01,490 all those things are boundaries that are 856 00:37:06,850 --> 00:37:04,670 artificial we create those to divide the 857 00:37:09,820 --> 00:37:06,860 world up and into the 10,000 things and 858 00:37:12,310 --> 00:37:09,830 then we struggle with them and it comes 859 00:37:14,410 --> 00:37:12,320 as they all melt away yeah and I told 860 00:37:19,180 --> 00:37:14,420 that long story because of something you 861 00:37:21,100 --> 00:37:19,190 said that when we cross over it's it's 862 00:37:23,650 --> 00:37:21,110 not about the thoughts and those 863 00:37:26,230 --> 00:37:23,660 thoughts as I was describing in my 864 00:37:27,790 --> 00:37:26,240 experience no Matt and I even described 865 00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:27,800 a bunch of them they were believed they 866 00:37:31,270 --> 00:37:29,390 were right and wrong good and Bad's holy 867 00:37:34,690 --> 00:37:31,280 blast most these are all just thoughts 868 00:37:37,140 --> 00:37:34,700 they're just fanciful ideas actly eggs 869 00:37:39,970 --> 00:37:37,150 and they have no meaning whatsoever 870 00:37:41,470 --> 00:37:39,980 exact only becomes reals when it passes 871 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:41,480 through your mind like a cloud if you 872 00:37:44,470 --> 00:37:42,890 grab it and that's when you anchoring 873 00:37:47,020 --> 00:37:44,480 congeal it to the earth energy because 874 00:37:50,170 --> 00:37:47,030 you're physical you at you and continue 875 00:37:52,900 --> 00:37:50,180 in intending you're willing you're 876 00:37:56,590 --> 00:37:52,910 calling it forth but so it's really 877 00:37:58,720 --> 00:37:56,600 about letting go yeah we create a lot of 878 00:38:00,250 --> 00:37:58,730 suffering we're a number of suffering 879 00:38:03,220 --> 00:38:00,260 with these belief systems that we attach 880 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:03,230 to and then try to fix ourselves with an 881 00:38:08,050 --> 00:38:05,090 erroneous belief or the first place and 882 00:38:10,180 --> 00:38:08,060 we do this for years the but you know 883 00:38:12,010 --> 00:38:10,190 the spiritual path and mins the stages 884 00:38:15,850 --> 00:38:12,020 of faith the stages of spirituality 885 00:38:17,890 --> 00:38:15,860 always get to a place where um you 886 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:17,900 realize that it's not in books it is not 887 00:38:22,540 --> 00:38:20,170 in teachers and it's not in complicated 888 00:38:25,410 --> 00:38:22,550 philosophies or theologies it's in the 889 00:38:29,260 --> 00:38:25,420 moment it's in the silence it's in here 890 00:38:32,620 --> 00:38:29,270 so there's really no spiritual practice 891 00:38:34,180 --> 00:38:32,630 this is questioned you other than truly 892 00:38:34,860 --> 00:38:34,190 there are different practice and in 893 00:38:37,830 --> 00:38:34,870 technique 894 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:37,840 news but in the end it's really all like 895 00:38:42,150 --> 00:38:40,330 letting go because all the thoughts that 896 00:38:44,580 --> 00:38:42,160 we have that are higher in nature that's 897 00:38:48,210 --> 00:38:44,590 one thing but it's all the other earthly 898 00:38:52,050 --> 00:38:48,220 stuff that we need to dissipate let go 899 00:38:53,820 --> 00:38:52,060 of in order to ascend a little more the 900 00:38:55,830 --> 00:38:53,830 transition to be smoother from the chat 901 00:38:57,660 --> 00:38:55,840 room profanity profundity has a 902 00:38:59,670 --> 00:38:57,670 phenomenal question and I've always 903 00:39:01,800 --> 00:38:59,680 thought this myself at least when I 904 00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:01,810 could see at a glance he asked a 905 00:39:07,260 --> 00:39:04,510 question John are we not always quote 906 00:39:10,170 --> 00:39:07,270 there but just not consciously aware of 907 00:39:12,420 --> 00:39:10,180 it loudly while here they don't we 908 00:39:15,540 --> 00:39:12,430 occupy both the spirit realm in the 909 00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:15,550 physical realm concurrently yes and the 910 00:39:20,900 --> 00:39:18,250 key is to stop thinking heightened 911 00:39:23,820 --> 00:39:20,910 awareness come into the presence 912 00:39:26,340 --> 00:39:23,830 experience the prayer and then see where 913 00:39:27,990 --> 00:39:26,350 you really are all that stuff washes 914 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:28,000 away and you realize you're in the 915 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:32,530 garden yeah because we can't be here and 916 00:39:37,670 --> 00:39:35,770 not there because you know we manifest 917 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:37,680 our physical bodies from the realm of 918 00:39:42,810 --> 00:39:40,690 the unified field from the quantum birth 919 00:39:46,020 --> 00:39:42,820 field we produce literally project 920 00:39:49,830 --> 00:39:46,030 ourselves into three-dimensional figures 921 00:39:51,540 --> 00:39:49,840 of matter but if we were not there still 922 00:39:53,720 --> 00:39:51,550 there would be no extension of light 923 00:39:57,590 --> 00:39:53,730 forever that connection that for that 924 00:40:00,780 --> 00:39:57,600 expression to ever happen mmhmm yeah 925 00:40:03,630 --> 00:40:00,790 that me Unity means unity it doesn't 926 00:40:07,020 --> 00:40:03,640 mean you know well right right as above 927 00:40:09,210 --> 00:40:07,030 so below yeah exactly so this is M you 928 00:40:12,930 --> 00:40:09,220 know the sadly pantheism got a really 929 00:40:14,610 --> 00:40:12,940 negative wrap it what you know when 930 00:40:16,110 --> 00:40:14,620 science said oh it doesn't make any 931 00:40:17,910 --> 00:40:16,120 sense of religion said the world has 932 00:40:20,190 --> 00:40:17,920 fallen and we you know it's all sinful 933 00:40:22,590 --> 00:40:20,200 and and blah blah blah and the truth is 934 00:40:25,170 --> 00:40:22,600 it's all god it's only God exists and 935 00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:25,180 then we with our minds make all these 936 00:40:30,570 --> 00:40:28,450 separations and when we dissolve the 937 00:40:32,730 --> 00:40:30,580 separations and as we age and we realize 938 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:32,740 oh my gosh i'm part of the oneness how 939 00:40:37,140 --> 00:40:35,410 glorious is this and there's no place to 940 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:37,150 go there's nothing to figure out there's 941 00:40:41,970 --> 00:40:40,090 nothing to dissolve I've been in it all 942 00:40:46,700 --> 00:40:41,980 the time then there's a peacefulness 943 00:40:51,650 --> 00:40:49,250 I'm sure now about this moment in this 944 00:40:55,609 --> 00:40:51,660 radio show you're probably feeling that 945 00:40:58,550 --> 00:40:55,619 buzz we're cooking here I feel the 946 00:41:01,280 --> 00:40:58,560 energy I feel my energy elevate I can 947 00:41:03,140 --> 00:41:01,290 only assume it I once a week I have 948 00:41:04,940 --> 00:41:03,150 experienced a to a degree when I 949 00:41:06,609 --> 00:41:04,950 mentioned the Godhead experience but 950 00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:06,619 also in some of my nightly excursions 951 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:10,710 but in the transition of death I can 952 00:41:15,500 --> 00:41:14,010 only imagine and I've had many levels of 953 00:41:18,650 --> 00:41:15,510 feeling when I was winning in India with 954 00:41:22,099 --> 00:41:18,660 sai baba being blasted wide open but the 955 00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:22,109 remembering that must manifest an anchor 956 00:41:27,380 --> 00:41:24,510 itself like a lightning rod when you 957 00:41:30,980 --> 00:41:27,390 cross over that first bang of reality 958 00:41:32,839 --> 00:41:30,990 must be Jesus something probably your 959 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:32,849 physical body couldn't even stand uh-huh 960 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:35,130 yeah and that life review must be must 961 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:36,810 be incredible and we've all done it many 962 00:41:40,849 --> 00:41:38,970 times you know and I think actually as 963 00:41:43,099 --> 00:41:40,859 you get older and closer to the end you 964 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:43,109 begin to remember more of that again it 965 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:44,970 leaks through from the other side and 966 00:41:49,339 --> 00:41:47,450 you say you know I've done this 967 00:41:51,530 --> 00:41:49,349 transition before I've been through this 968 00:41:56,510 --> 00:41:51,540 passage I feel that's why I think the 969 00:42:00,950 --> 00:41:56,520 grace that's a trace that's right whoo 970 00:42:04,220 --> 00:42:00,960 whoo hmm John are you excited about your 971 00:42:06,710 --> 00:42:04,230 passing you know I am you know I've had 972 00:42:08,510 --> 00:42:06,720 various meza medical crises like like a 973 00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:08,520 whack you know a couple weeks ago they 974 00:42:12,589 --> 00:42:10,050 thought I had congestive heart failure 975 00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:12,599 or in cornea artery disease and and I'm 976 00:42:16,609 --> 00:42:14,970 and I turns out it was probably false 977 00:42:20,420 --> 00:42:16,619 positive we don't know for sure but the 978 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:20,430 thing was I was a of a mixed mind about 979 00:42:25,970 --> 00:42:23,130 it the part of me was oh my gosh I'm not 980 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:25,980 ready but part of me also said this is 981 00:42:31,700 --> 00:42:29,010 no big deal you know i'm i'm i am 982 00:42:33,500 --> 00:42:31,710 infinitely happy that that i am in this 983 00:42:34,970 --> 00:42:33,510 moment and whatever happens does not 984 00:42:36,710 --> 00:42:34,980 really matter this is going to happen 985 00:42:39,470 --> 00:42:36,720 everybody's going to go along they'll be 986 00:42:40,970 --> 00:42:39,480 fine and so I think that when as we age 987 00:42:43,660 --> 00:42:40,980 we have more and more of these kind of 988 00:42:46,099 --> 00:42:43,670 epiphanies like okay so I could die 989 00:42:47,510 --> 00:42:46,109 that's all right I was going to ask you 990 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:47,520 a question and you answered it 991 00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:50,010 absolutely poetically what you said my 992 00:42:53,750 --> 00:42:51,810 question was going to be my first person 993 00:42:55,550 --> 00:42:53,760 can call out a statement which is I 994 00:42:57,109 --> 00:42:55,560 didn't want to get personal but I was 995 00:42:58,670 --> 00:42:57,119 going to ask you in situation like you 996 00:43:00,510 --> 00:42:58,680 just described that you might have a 997 00:43:04,470 --> 00:43:00,520 medical crisis recently 998 00:43:06,630 --> 00:43:04,480 was it could have happened that what the 999 00:43:09,210 --> 00:43:06,640 thoughts what would be in your mind 1000 00:43:10,710 --> 00:43:09,220 would it be ah let me go to the doctor 1001 00:43:12,810 --> 00:43:10,720 of course we want to live as long as we 1002 00:43:15,990 --> 00:43:12,820 can because that playground is going to 1003 00:43:19,260 --> 00:43:16,000 be there forever but yet I'm okay 1004 00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:19,270 because I'm infinitely happy and in that 1005 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:22,690 letting go does it create a doorway for 1006 00:43:27,930 --> 00:43:25,810 more longevity versus rushing to the 1007 00:43:32,190 --> 00:43:27,940 doctor which yet is still an intention 1008 00:43:35,490 --> 00:43:32,200 to longevity do you follow me yeah I'm 1009 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:35,500 not quite with you say it again when 1010 00:43:39,660 --> 00:43:37,810 this crisis was upon you yet again in 1011 00:43:42,930 --> 00:43:39,670 your recent past did you find yourself 1012 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:42,940 moving quote but yet metaphorically and 1013 00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:46,930 literally into this window of like you 1014 00:43:50,850 --> 00:43:48,730 said I'm blissful I live forever 1015 00:43:53,430 --> 00:43:50,860 blissful and happy I'm infinitely happy 1016 00:43:56,540 --> 00:43:53,440 you said yes so did you find yourself 1017 00:44:00,090 --> 00:43:56,550 not rushing to the doctor so quick to 1018 00:44:02,550 --> 00:44:00,100 create longevity a little more life but 1019 00:44:06,060 --> 00:44:02,560 yet in your relax letting go about it 1020 00:44:09,090 --> 00:44:06,070 all probably eased your beingness your 1021 00:44:11,970 --> 00:44:09,100 system which may have given you more 1022 00:44:14,310 --> 00:44:11,980 life than freaking out running to the 1023 00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:14,320 doctor yes actually I think I think the 1024 00:44:18,930 --> 00:44:16,570 shock of it allowed me to let it go I 1025 00:44:20,340 --> 00:44:18,940 mean I like whoa and and then there was 1026 00:44:22,050 --> 00:44:20,350 a kind of a letting go of the whole 1027 00:44:24,540 --> 00:44:22,060 thing because I realized it was just a 1028 00:44:25,980 --> 00:44:24,550 drama that was happening in my mind that 1029 00:44:28,260 --> 00:44:25,990 was going to you know play out in 1030 00:44:32,820 --> 00:44:28,270 whatever way it did but I was not that 1031 00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:32,830 drama and and um there was an okay pneus 1032 00:44:35,790 --> 00:44:34,330 to it I think that's what happens the 1033 00:44:38,610 --> 00:44:35,800 more of these things that happen as we 1034 00:44:41,250 --> 00:44:38,620 age that would have been catastrophic at 1035 00:44:43,140 --> 00:44:41,260 30 or 40 or 50 I think and then later 1036 00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:43,150 you say this is part of the journey home 1037 00:44:48,900 --> 00:44:47,050 and oh okay so I that'll happen or won't 1038 00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:48,910 happen but I'm no longer so attached to 1039 00:44:53,490 --> 00:44:51,130 be stayin alive as I used to be or I 1040 00:44:55,470 --> 00:44:53,500 need to be and as a result of that I'm 1041 00:44:57,330 --> 00:44:55,480 more comfortable with the flow you know 1042 00:44:59,730 --> 00:44:57,340 with just being in the river of life 1043 00:45:01,470 --> 00:44:59,740 until it goes wherever it goes whether I 1044 00:45:05,340 --> 00:45:01,480 live longer or not seems to be less 1045 00:45:08,490 --> 00:45:05,350 important then then um being okay with 1046 00:45:11,190 --> 00:45:08,500 the whole thing feeling that this is 1047 00:45:12,529 --> 00:45:11,200 about this vast love Wells up inside of 1048 00:45:14,390 --> 00:45:12,539 me from the 1049 00:45:17,209 --> 00:45:14,400 the depths of my being and this joy 1050 00:45:20,799 --> 00:45:17,219 happens and then you know after that how 1051 00:45:23,989 --> 00:45:20,809 can you be upset about anything hey yeah
