get my visions from nostradamus or 217 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:06,560 whomever 218 00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:09,839 and i don't do that because i can safely 219 00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:13,120 and happily say i don't know but if i 220 00:09:16,949 --> 00:09:13,440 know 221 00:09:19,990 --> 00:09:16,959 10 more about your life than you do 222 00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:20,000 then i'm helpful to you and that's all 223 00:09:25,350 --> 00:09:22,640 that's the that's my major claim now on 224 00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:25,360 my website it says about me visiting 225 00:09:29,670 --> 00:09:28,000 all these places around the world of 226 00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:29,680 energy and that is true 227 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:32,480 i did visit lots of places and i hope to 228 00:09:35,670 --> 00:09:34,240 again but we don't know in this time 229 00:09:39,030 --> 00:09:35,680 frame whether we'll get 230 00:09:41,590 --> 00:09:39,040 a chance to go back to the crop circles 231 00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:41,600 in england or anything like that 232 00:09:47,030 --> 00:09:44,640 oh they'll they'll they'll decide this 233 00:09:48,870 --> 00:09:47,040 is over in a little while and then 234 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:48,880 eventually it'll have to get back to 235 00:09:51,590 --> 00:09:50,640 normal they don't want to play this game 236 00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:51,600 for too long but 237 00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:53,360 they're certainly playing it pretty damn 238 00:09:56,389 --> 00:09:54,640 hard right now but 239 00:09:57,670 --> 00:09:56,399 i don't want to talk about all that you 240 00:10:00,310 --> 00:09:57,680 know you know what i think is 241 00:10:01,910 --> 00:10:00,320 is kind of interesting also see there's 242 00:10:03,910 --> 00:10:01,920 so much embedded in that story that 243 00:10:07,030 --> 00:10:03,920 maybe you take for granted 244 00:10:09,110 --> 00:10:07,040 and that i love how humble you are about 245 00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:09,120 these psychic gifts and i think we all 246 00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:10,399 appreciate on 247 00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:12,959 some level that we all have this ability 248 00:10:17,190 --> 00:10:14,720 or these various abilities 249 00:10:17,990 --> 00:10:17,200 and that some people have them more but 250 00:10:21,590 --> 00:10:18,000 i think 251 00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:21,600 you know for you to do the jimmy fallon 252

place you know which is pretty 259 00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:39,279 remarkable but then secondly 260 00:10:43,430 --> 00:10:41,279 to have it not go to their head you know 261 00:10:44,829 -->

it's not in the hundreds of thousands of 338 00:13:45,110 --> 00:13:41,760 dollars you can set up a little 339 00:13:47,350 --> 00:13:45,120 photon beam in your lab and he said why 340 00:13:48,509 --> 00:13:47,360 don't we set up a photon beam and see if 341 00:13:51,990 --> 00:13:48,519 this 342 00:13:55,990 --> 00:13:52,000 hypothesized disincarnated spirit 343 00:13:57,910 --> 00:13:56,000 can adjust move affect the photon beam 344 00:14:00,230 --> 00:13:57,920 when we ask questions 345 00:14:02,310 --> 00:14:00,240 so we'll go to the extended realm the 346 00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:02,320 dead and we'll say aunt 347 00:14:08,150 --> 00:14:05,760 mary is it you and then mary can 348 00:14:10,710 --> 00:14:08,160 move the soul move the photon beam or 349 00:14:12,470 --> 00:14:10,720 not based on these yes no questions 350 00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:12,480 and they claim and we don't have any 351 00:14:17,790 --> 00:14:15,120 reason to do not to doubt this claim 352 00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:17,800 that they've compiled amaze 353 00:14:22,470 --> 00:14:19,440 statistically just 354 00:14:25,189 --> 00:14:22,480 phenomenal data that this is true 355 00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:25,199 because true in the sense that they 356 00:14:29,590 --> 00:14:26,160 validate 357 00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:29,600 what they're getting back being blinded 358 00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:30,320 from it 359 00:14:33,509 --> 00:14:32,720 with a sitter that would then say yes 360 00:14:37,110 --> 00:14:33,519 you know 361 00:14:38,790 --> 00:14:37,120 whatever kind of questions you would 362 00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:38,800 validate when that we've seen that after 363 00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:40,560 death communication research 364 00:14:44,310 --> 00:14:42,560 and it is very doable you know it's not 365 00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:44,320 super tricky scientifically 366 00:14:47,990 --> 00:14:46,480 the photon beam is is interesting so 367 00:14:48,949 --> 00:14:48,000 here's here's what i think we're talking 368 00:14:49,990 --> 00:14:48,959 about i want to make sure we're talking 369 00:14:53,269 --> 00:14:50,000 about the same thing 370 00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:53,279 when you say when you say you don't 371 00:14:57,990 --> 00:14:54,320 believe 372 00:15:00,949 --> 00:14:58,000 i've always 373 00:15:02,389 --> 00:15:00,959 said about that which again could fall 374 00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:02,399 into your category but i want to make 375 00:15:06,790 --> 00:15:04,320 sure i'm not making assumptions 376 00:15:07,829 --> 00:15:06,800 as i say it just sounds a little bit too 377 00:15:10,150 --> 00:15:07,839 much like you know 378 00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:10,160 god needs our help you know like god's 379 00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:12,160 up there he wants to talk to you 380 00:15:15,990 --> 00:15:14,560 but until he can get a good soul phone 381 00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:16,000 you know he just can't 382 00:15:19,910 --> 00:15:18,160 he just can't make the connection i go i 383 00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:19,920 i can't believe that's how it 384 00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:22,079 really works so i don't question your 385 00:15:25,750 --> 00:15:24,320 data i just question maybe 386 00:15:27,990 --> 00:15:25,760 some of the assumptions you're making 387 00:15:31,590 --> 00:15:28,000 but then again i'm glad you're out there 388 00:15:33,829 --> 00:15:31,600 exploring it absolutely absolutely um 389 00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:33,839 i agree a lot with what you say 390 00:15:38,069 --> 00:15:35,680 basically i don't disagree with 391 00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:38,079 what you say but i think i'm coming at 392 00:15:41,749 --> 00:15:40,320 it from a different point of view i mean 393 00:15:43,350 --> 00:15:41,759 another part of it 394 00:15:44,949 --> 00:15:43,360 and the part of it that i think i'm 395 00:15:48,470 --> 00:15:44,959 coming at from 396 00:15:50,389 --> 00:15:48,480 is that there are absolutely i 397 00:15:51,749 --> 00:15:50,399 feel like you know consciousness is 398 00:15:55,749 --> 00:15:51,759 fundamental as 399 00:15:56,629 --> 00:15:55,759 uh as as many of the uh physicists have 400 00:15:59,749 --> 00:15:56,639 said 401 00:16:02,710 --> 00:15:59,759 and not only that but um 402 00:16:04,310 --> 00:16:02,720 you know i think that um we are more 403 00:16:06,389 --> 00:16:04,320 than our physical body 404 00:16:08,069 --> 00:16:06,399 like robert monroe said these are kind 405 00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:08,079 of basic things that 406 00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:11,440 are my foundation uh of things that i 407 00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:12,480 can say i 408 00:16:17,430 --> 00:16:15,120 quote unquote believe then other things 409 00:16:20,470 --> 00:16:17,440 come into the area of i think 410 00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:20,480 this could be the way now the other 411 00:16:26,389 --> 00:16:22,639 possibility with all of these 412 00:16:28,949 --> 00:16:26,399 after death communications is that 413 00:16:30,870 --> 00:16:28,959 there are other beings we could be 414 00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:30,880 you're sitting in your beautiful 415 00:16:34,550 --> 00:16:33,360 skeptical lounge with the paintings 416 00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:34,560 behind you which i 417 00:16:37,829 --> 00:16:36,399 love to ask you about we have to go back 418 00:16:39,110 --> 00:16:37,839 to that at another point in the 419 00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:39,120 interview 420 00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:42,240 but uh we're sitting in our living rooms 421 00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:43,920 perhaps i'm in mine 422 00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:47,920 and there could be a soup 423 00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:51,920 of thousands if not millions of beings 424 00:16:55,829 --> 00:16:53,440 circulating around us 425 00:16:57,670 --> 00:16:55,839 they may not be in the same time space 426 00:16:59,110 --> 00:16:57,680 continuum they could be on another 427 00:17:01,509 --> 00:16:59,120 vibrational level 428 00:17:02,150 --> 00:17:01,519 i'm talking science here and and i don't 429 00:17:04,789 --> 00:17:02,160 mean 430 00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:04,799 strict science that it's they're really 431 00:17:09,110 --> 00:17:05,280 on 432 00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:09,120 that i have 433 00:17:16,309 --> 00:17:12,880 no clue but what if 434 00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:16,319 these are just disincarnate entities 435 00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:19,360 some of which could be tulpas some of 436 00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:19,760 which 437 00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:23,600 cause 438 00:17:29,029 --> 00:17:26,959 ufo sightings for instance maybe 439 00:17:30,950 --> 00:17:29,039 but then there are physical traces oh my 440 00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:30,960 god what do we do with that you know 441 00:17:37,510 --> 00:17:34,080 but that's a whole other conversation 442 00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:37,520 but with people channeling the dead 443 00:17:44,549 --> 00:17:41,280 are you really speaking to aunt mary 444 00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:44,559 or perhaps there is 445 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:47,440 somebody playing with you a little bit 446 00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:48,000 some 447 00:17:59,110 --> 00:17:55,520 whether it be an agricore or a tulpa 448 00:18:01,430 --> 00:17:59,120 or something entirely separate from you 449 00:18:03,270 --> 00:18:01,440 and which brings me to something i was 450 00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:03,280 going to read for you and i hope you'll 451 00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:05,280 give me a second to read this 452 00:18:12,950 --> 00:18:09,280 for you because it's from a famous 453 00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:12,960 greek thinker named pythagoras 454 00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:16,640 and it says as long as man continues to 455 00:18:21,270 --> 00:18:18,240 be the ruthless 456 00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:21,280 destroyer of lower living beings 457 00:18:28,950 --> 00:18:24,720 he will never know health or peace 458 00:18:32,549 --> 00:18:28,960 for as long as men massacre animals 459 00:18:36,230 --> 00:18:32,559 they will kill each other indeed 460 00:18:40,150 --> 00:18:36,240 he who sows the seed of murder and pain 461 00:18:43,110 --> 00:18:40,160 cannot reap joy and love 462 00:18:43,990 --> 00:18:43,120 and so that brings me into another part 463 00:18:51,510 --> 00:18:44,000 about 464 00:18:55,110 --> 00:18:51,520 sure that human beings and i 465 00:18:59,029 --> 00:18:55,120 admit to be one slightly regretfully 466 00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:01,350 human beings may not be the top of the 467 00:19:05,590 --> 00:19:02,480 food chain 468 00:19:06,870 --> 00:19:05,600 and perhaps we shouldn't disregard the 469 00:19:10,470 --> 00:19:06,880 consciousness 470 00:19:15,270 --> 00:19:10,480 of other things like trees and 471 00:19:17,669 --> 00:19:15,280 like um animals of all sorts and even 472 00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:17,679 and this is taking it a little far but 473 00:19:22,310 --> 00:19:18,880 not so much 474 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:22,320 rocks the sun could be alive i mean 475 00:19:27,190 --> 00:19:25,919 we both had on um oh oh my gosh my mind 476 00:19:29,909 --> 00:19:27,200 is failing me now 477 00:19:30,710 --> 00:19:29,919 we both had on the famous uh gentlemen 478 00:19:32,549 --> 00:19:30,720 for rupert's 479 00:19:34,470 --> 00:19:32,559 rupert sheldrake we both have 480 00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:34,480 interviewed rupert children 481 00:19:37,990 --> 00:19:37,200 and he puts up a very good argument for 482 00:19:40,950 --> 00:19:38,000 the sun being 483 00:19:42,789 --> 00:19:40,960 alive um and i don't you know anybody 484 00:19:45,430 --> 00:19:42,799 who wants to refer to that they could go 485 00:19:48,549 --> 00:19:45,440 to either remote podcast or his work 486 00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:48,559 and they would find that i'm sure so 487 00:19:52,870 --> 00:19:50,799 you actually had a better dialogue with 488 00:19:54,950 --> 00:19:52,880 him on on that topic because i wasn't 489 00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:54,960 aware of that until i heard it on your 490 00:19:57,190 --> 00:19:55,600 show 491 00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:57,200 i i guess i had run across it but i 492 00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:58,640 always kind of skipped over it 493 00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:01,200 and you brought that out i think really 494 00:20:05,190 --> 00:20:02,640 nicely 495 00:20:07,350 --> 00:20:05,200 i had the great pleasure of meeting him 496 00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:07,360 in manhattan 497 00:20:11,270 --> 00:20:09,840 for a lovely dinner which uh a 498 00:20:13,909 --> 00:20:11,280 benefactor of mine 499 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:13,919 helped me out with in fact the same lady 500 00:20:17,270 --> 00:20:15,850 who said who do you want to meet 501 00:20:22,549 --> 00:20:17,280 [Laughter] 502 00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:24,789 she managed to do that for me which is 503 00:20:27,990 --> 00:20:26,480 marvelous i can't thank her enough if 504 00:20:30,470 --> 00:20:28,000 she ever listens to this 505 00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:30,480 which i don't think so but i do thank 506 00:20:34,230 --> 00:20:31,840 her 507 00:20:35,190 --> 00:20:34,240 well i think i think sheldrick is 508 00:20:38,310 --> 00:20:35,200 terrific 509 00:20:41,430 --> 00:20:38,320 and i think you know i met him 510 00:20:44,149 --> 00:20:41,440 uh i did meet him in in person at uh 511 00:20:45,430 --> 00:20:44,159 at eslan he was up there doing a 512 00:20:47,669 --> 00:20:45,440 presentation and i 513 00:20:49,190 --> 00:20:47,679 managed to get up there and meet him but 514 00:20:50,549 --> 00:20:49,200 before that you know i just kind of 515 00:20:52,070 --> 00:20:50,559 contacted him 516 00:20:54,149 --> 00:20:52,080 more or less out of the blue and i 517 00:20:56,870 --> 00:20:54,159 always remember how 518 00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:56,880 kind of welcoming he was how open he was 519 00:21:01,830 --> 00:20:57,280 and 520 00:21:03,510 --> 00:21:01,840 i think that that to me really speaks to 521 00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:03,520 so many times so many of the people that 522 00:21:06,149 --> 00:21:04,240 we find 523 00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:06,159 in this community who these frontier 524 00:21:09,909 --> 00:21:07,840 scientists 525 00:21:11,750 --> 00:21:09,919 they're not all super open but so many 526 00:21:13,909 --> 00:21:11,760 of them are just 527 00:21:16,470 --> 00:21:13,919 seem to be able to have that sense of 528 00:21:18,549 --> 00:21:16,480 people who are genuinely 529 00:21:19,590 --> 00:21:18,559 trying to pursue this path and they seem 530 00:21:21,750 --> 00:21:19,600 to be willing to 531 00:21:23,350 --> 00:21:21,760 kind of help along that that way so i 532 00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:23,360 thought he was great same with dean 533 00:21:27,430 --> 00:21:24,159 rayden two 534 00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:27,440 you know giants in this field 535 00:21:34,789 --> 00:21:31,600 who are just really naturally normally 536 00:21:37,029 --> 00:21:34,799 good human beings you know you said so 537 00:21:39,350 --> 00:21:37,039 much there 538 00:21:40,630 --> 00:21:39,360 what's that i've met dean but i haven't 539 00:21:42,630 --> 00:21:40,640 had him on the show i think he's 540 00:21:44,549 --> 00:21:42,640 wonderful 541 00:21:46,710 --> 00:21:44,559 yeah you should definitely you should 542 00:21:48,310 --> 00:21:46,720 definitely oh my gosh and i didn't 543 00:21:49,190 --> 00:21:48,320 realize that i kind of assumed that you 544 00:21:52,070 --> 00:21:49,200 did because 545 00:21:53,669 --> 00:21:52,080 especially the the spirit work that he's 546 00:21:55,110 --> 00:21:53,679 doing and trying to bring that to the 547 00:21:57,990 --> 00:21:55,120 lab right now 548 00:21:58,870 --> 00:21:58,000 would be that would be a natural so yeah 549 00:22:01,669 --> 00:21:58,880 i agree 550 00:22:02,310 --> 00:22:01,679 if if you want any help if if you have 551 00:22:03,590 --> 00:22:02,320 any problem 552 00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:03,600 making that connection please let me 553 00:22:05,669 --> 00:22:05,120 know and i'll try and help the best i 554 00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:05,679 can 555 00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:08,159 so you said so much there i think i 556 00:22:13,990 --> 00:22:09,520 think your answer was 557 00:22:16,549 --> 00:22:14,000 actually incredibly important to 558 00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:16,559 that whole line of inquiry with uh with 559 00:22:21,270 --> 00:22:18,000 the soul phone thing 560 00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:21,280 and where you took it was just that 561 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:23,280 something that i think we all 562 00:22:27,430 --> 00:22:25,200 intuitively kind of know but 563 00:22:29,350 --> 00:22:27,440 i want to grapple with because it's so 564 00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:29,360 hard is that 565 00:22:33,830 --> 00:22:31,840 the complexity of this extended 566 00:22:35,110 --> 00:22:33,840 consciousness realm whatever that means 567 00:22:38,789 --> 00:22:35,120 whatever that is 568 00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:38,799 is undoubtedly so complex 569 00:22:44,470 --> 00:22:42,080 that it is really beyond our 570 00:22:45,750 --> 00:22:44,480 our ability to fully grasp it and i 571 00:22:48,950 --> 00:22:45,760 always say this but you know 572 00:22:50,789 --> 00:22:48,960 isn't that what we hear from people who 573 00:22:52,870 --> 00:22:50,799 enter fully enter that realm like 574 00:22:54,549 --> 00:22:52,880 through an after death experience 575 00:22:56,070 --> 00:22:54,559 your death experience those kind of 576 00:22:58,950 --> 00:22:56,080 things they come back and 577 00:23:00,149 --> 00:22:58,960 you know routinely they'll say i knew 578 00:23:02,630 --> 00:23:00,159 everything 579 00:23:04,070 --> 00:23:02,640 i could no sooner bring a question to my 580 00:23:07,110 --> 00:23:04,080 consciousness than it was 581 00:23:09,510 --> 00:23:07,120 answered for me but gosh darn it i can't 582 00:23:10,710 --> 00:23:09,520 remember it now i can't like i can't 583 00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:10,720 bring it down to 584 00:23:15,830 --> 00:23:14,080 this domain and and to me that's what 585 00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:15,840 you were capturing 586 00:23:19,590 --> 00:23:17,520 beautifully with that answer which is 587 00:23:22,390 --> 00:23:19,600 like hey it could be 588 00:23:24,789 --> 00:23:22,400 any number of different things that we 589 00:23:27,430 --> 00:23:24,799 kind of think we know something about 590 00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:27,440 and each one would shade it very 591 00:23:29,909 --> 00:23:29,280 differently so when we jump in there 592 00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:29,919 with 593 00:23:34,470 --> 00:23:32,400 a kind of a firm grasp that oh this is 594 00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:34,480 what it must be you must be talking to 595 00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:35,600 aunt mary 596 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:37,760 we really leave ourselves open for a lot 597 00:23:42,390 --> 00:23:39,520 of 598 00:23:43,909 --> 00:23:42,400 you know potential uh confusion creating 599 00:23:45,269 --> 00:23:43,919 more confusion for ourselves and other 600 00:23:48,950 --> 00:23:45,279 people 601 00:23:50,310 --> 00:23:48,960 it would seem to me from everything that 602 00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:50,320 i've cleaned 603 00:23:54,470 --> 00:23:54,000 um that maybe that these entities that 604 00:23:59,029 --> 00:23:54,480 do 605 00:24:01,909 --> 00:23:59,039 seem to exist come in a variety of forms 606 00:24:02,950 --> 00:24:01,919 in terms of some or for us some are 607 00:24:05,830 --> 00:24:02,960 against us 608 00:24:07,190 --> 00:24:05,840 and some of us some of them are just 609 00:24:10,870 --> 00:24:07,200 playing with us 610 00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:10,880 like uh the trickster the joker um 611 00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:13,200 thank you george hansen who's a great 612 00:24:18,230 --> 00:24:14,640 guy 613 00:24:20,230 --> 00:24:18,240 have you george hansen no and we can 614 00:24:22,230 --> 00:24:20,240 have a talk about george hansen i don't 615 00:24:24,789 --> 00:24:22,240 know i love the idea 616 00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:24,799 i love the idea give me trickster give 617 00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:27,360 me the idea 618 00:24:30,390 --> 00:24:28,960 let's leave behind some of his 619 00:24:31,669 --> 00:24:30,400 interpretations and some of the ways 620 00:24:33,830 --> 00:24:31,679 that he goes with it and 621 00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:33,840 everything becomes a trickster and you 622 00:24:37,430 --> 00:24:35,360 know and then he sees it from a social 623 00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:37,440 political standpoint it's like 624 00:24:40,789 --> 00:24:39,440 he's very private i would say he's a 625 00:24:44,310 --> 00:24:40,799 private gentleman 626 00:24:45,590 --> 00:24:44,320 and um i don't think that has anything 627 00:24:48,390 --> 00:24:45,600 to do with it i think he's 628 00:24:49,830 --> 00:24:48,400 he's i think he's stretching the 629 00:24:53,110 --> 00:24:49,840 trickster thing a little bit 630 00:24:54,870 --> 00:24:53,120 yeah anyway anyway that's a little 631 00:24:57,830 --> 00:24:54,880 skeptical comment there i don't know 632 00:25:00,149 --> 00:24:57,840 great guy no he's added hey another guy 633 00:25:02,789 --> 00:25:00,159 completely gotta respect the heck 634 00:25:04,470 --> 00:25:02,799 out of how he's changed the dialogue i 635 00:25:07,190 --> 00:25:04,480 mean trickster 636 00:25:08,950 --> 00:25:07,200 is is a cornerstone to all this that we 637 00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:08,960 didn't realize before and we all 638 00:25:12,390 --> 00:25:11,520 have to acknowledge that's in play here 639 00:25:14,630 --> 00:25:12,400 so 640 00:25:16,549 --> 00:25:14,640 no i don't need to run him down he he 641 00:25:21,029 --> 00:25:16,559 did a great thing there 642 00:25:22,950 --> 00:25:21,039 in general and um i would say that 643 00:25:24,070 --> 00:25:22,960 the thought about the trickster if you 644 00:25:26,950 --> 00:25:24,080 think about it the 645 00:25:29,029 --> 00:25:26,960 concept of the trickster would be that 646 00:25:33,029 --> 00:25:29,039 type of 647 00:25:35,350 --> 00:25:33,039 entity which is just playing with us 648 00:25:37,110 --> 00:25:35,360 as opposed to the one which which is us 649 00:25:40,149 --> 00:25:37,120 well or wishes us harm 650 00:25:40,390 --> 00:25:40,159 or is trying to bring us down yeah but 651 00:25:44,950 --> 00:25:40,400 see 652 00:25:47,029 --> 00:25:44,960 like if he said it within the context of 653 00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:47,039 what you were saying it would actually 654 00:25:52,390 --> 00:25:50,320 i i could buy into it more if he said 655 00:25:54,149 --> 00:25:52,400 look i don't know what the heck's going 656 00:25:56,510 --> 00:25:54,159 out there in this extended realm 657 00:25:58,549 --> 00:25:56,520 but among all the different 658 00:26:00,549 --> 00:25:58,559 classifications we could make there 659 00:26:04,149 --> 00:26:00,559 seems to be this element of it 660 00:26:06,710 --> 00:26:04,159 that doesn't doesn't neatly fit into 661 00:26:07,269 --> 00:26:06,720 a benevolent angel kind of figure and 662 00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:07,279 doesn't 663 00:26:10,710 --> 00:26:09,679 fit into this demonic pull you into the 664 00:26:12,630 --> 00:26:10,720 darkness figure 665 00:26:13,830 --> 00:26:12,640 there seems to be this element of it 666 00:26:16,470 --> 00:26:13,840 that is 667 00:26:18,149 --> 00:26:16,480 kind of playful kind of you know what we 668 00:26:21,269 --> 00:26:18,159 would see in this realm of 669 00:26:23,669 --> 00:26:21,279 kind of being the trickster and that 670 00:26:25,590 --> 00:26:23,679 meme seems to pop up over and over again 671 00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:25,600 if you just said that and left it at 672 00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:27,679 that i'd be like wow that's a great 673 00:26:30,950 --> 00:26:28,320 insight 674 00:26:31,510 --> 00:26:30,960 but when you start seeing the trickster 675 00:26:37,750 --> 00:26:31,520 in 676 00:26:39,430 --> 00:26:37,760 our culture and you know the trickster 677 00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:39,440 culture and we're moving into this 678 00:26:44,950 --> 00:26:42,960 age of it's like it's it's lost now now 679 00:26:46,310 --> 00:26:44,960 it's like you know trying to 680 00:26:48,870 --> 00:26:46,320 try to pin it down too much you're 681 00:26:52,230 --> 00:26:48,880 trying to use it over use it but i 682 00:26:54,390 --> 00:26:52,240 there i go see i'm gonna just 683 00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:54,400 beat up the guy for no reason you know 684 00:26:57,029 --> 00:26:55,520 good great guys 685 00:26:58,310 --> 00:26:57,039 hey you know what let me let me return 686 00:27:00,870 --> 00:26:58,320 to another point you made because i want 687 00:27:02,870 --> 00:27:00,880 to emphasize this as well and then 688 00:27:04,070 --> 00:27:02,880 then we can talk about something else 689 00:27:06,950 --> 00:27:04,080 but it's 690 00:27:07,830 --> 00:27:06,960 it's so obvious on one hand and on the 691 00:27:10,390 --> 00:27:07,840 other hand 692 00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:10,400 we never talk about this like you extend 693 00:27:13,110 --> 00:27:11,120 it just 694 00:27:14,390 --> 00:27:13,120 extend it to the animal domain you know 695 00:27:15,909 --> 00:27:14,400 like we talked about rupert 696 00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:15,919 rupert and his dogs that know when their 697 00:27:19,430 --> 00:27:17,760 owners were coming home and cats 698 00:27:21,669 --> 00:27:19,440 right he

00:27:30,640 you go into the ocean and these people 705 00:27:33,990 --> 00:27:31,919 have these amazing experiences with 706 00:27:34,310 --> 00:27:34,000 dolphins with whales with sharks you 707 00:27:37,269 --> 00:27:34,320 know 708 00:27:39,430 --> 00:27:37,279 and they're clearly the data is 709 00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:39,440 overwhelming that there's 710 00:27:43,029 --> 00:27:41,840 some kind of relationship that they have 711 00:27:46,149 --> 00:27:43,039 with 712 00:27:49,350 --> 00:27:46,159 consciousness the large and larger sense 713 00:27:51,029 --> 00:27:49,360 that we don't have any clue of and we're 714 00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:51,039 kind of tapped like you said 715 00:27:55,350 --> 00:27:52,720 we're kind of tapping into their 716 00:27:58,710 --> 00:27:55,360 abilities we're tapping into that 717 00:28:02,149 --> 00:27:58,720 cat that goes sits on the on the 718 00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:02,159 lap of these people who are dying 719 00:28:05,590 --> 00:28:05,120 in you know uh retirement homes and the 720 00:28:09,669 --> 00:28:05,600 cat 721 00:28:12,230 --> 00:28:09,679 knows i remember that in boston right 722 00:28:13,110 --> 00:28:12,240 tell us tell the story well there was a 723 00:28:16,389 --> 00:28:13,120 cat 724 00:28:19,110 --> 00:28:16,399 um at a hospital in boston and the 725 00:28:21,350 --> 00:28:19,120 uh people who worked at the hospital uh 726 00:28:23,590 --> 00:28:21,360 i he the cat was kind of in the hospice 727 00:28:24,870 --> 00:28:23,600 ward if i'm not mistaken i could be off 728 00:28:27,909 --> 00:28:24,880 on this a little bit 729 00:28:29,909 --> 00:28:27,919 but um and the cat would go into the 730 00:28:30,710 --> 00:28:29,919 room of the person who was going to die 731 00:28:33,269 --> 00:28:30,720 next 732 00:28:34,710 --> 00:28:33,279 the catchers simply knew it so the the 733 00:28:37,909 --> 00:28:34,720 entire staff 734 00:28:39,269 --> 00:28:37,919 got with the program that the cat knew 735 00:28:41,990 --> 00:28:39,279 who was going to die 736 00:28:43,510 --> 00:28:42,000 now how did the cat know that um and 737 00:28:44,789 --> 00:28:43,520 then you get it that gets into the whole 738 00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:44,799 death doula thing 739 00:28:49,110 --> 00:28:47,520 i don't i don't know if uh you know 740 00:28:51,909 --> 00:28:49,120 you've but 741 00:28:53,510 --> 00:28:51,919 routinely now that's a service that a 742 00:28:55,830 --> 00:28:53,520 lot of hospice facilities 743 00:28:57,510 --> 00:28:55,840 provide and that is the death tool and 744 00:29:00,389 --> 00:28:57,520 that is someone to go 745 00:29:02,230 --> 00:29:00,399 and be with the person as they're 746 00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:02,240 transitioning because sometimes you know 747 00:29:06,070 --> 00:29:03,919 it's sad but some people don't have 748 00:29:07,669 --> 00:29:06,080 anyone in their family to be there 749 00:29:10,389 --> 00:29:07,679 and they're they're all in their room 750 00:29:12,630 --> 00:29:10,399 all alone and sometimes they feel 751 00:29:14,389 --> 00:29:12,640 all the we can only imagine what you 752 00:29:14,870 --> 00:29:14,399 feel when you know no matter who you 753 00:29:18,070 --> 00:29:14,880 think you 754 00:29:20,470 --> 00:29:18,080 are when you actually enter enter that 755 00:29:22,950 --> 00:29:20,480 zone of crossing over it's got 756 00:29:25,110 --> 00:29:22,960 and so people volunteer to go and just 757 00:29:26,230 --> 00:29:25,120 sit and be present and sometimes those 758 00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:26,240 people 759 00:29:30,470 --> 00:29:29,279 you know like i interviewed a psychic an 760 00:29:32,470 --> 00:29:30,480 amazing person who did 761 00:29:34,870 --> 00:29:32,480 some volunteer work her name is deborah 762

works 768 00:29:47,669 --> 00:29:46,799 itself into the process of going and 769 00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:47,679 sitting with people 770 00:29:51,750 --> 00:29:50,399 as they're as they're dying so i

00:32:22,159 and he he was sort of elevated to a 835 00:32:26,870 --> 00:32:23,440 higher position 836 00:32:30,310 --> 00:32:26,880 he ran the buffalo catholic 837 00:32:33,190 --> 00:32:30,320 hospice and he saw so many people 838 00:32:34,070 --> 00:32:33,200 leaving their bodies and saw like the 839 00:32:36,630 --> 00:32:34,080 mist 840 00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:36,640 that is described and helped a whole lot 841 00:32:40,870 --> 00:32:37,360 of people 842 00:32:44,870 --> 00:32:40,880 over the edge so he was a very very 843 00:32:48,310 --> 00:32:44,880 seminal and helpful person um in my time 844 00:32:50,070 --> 00:32:48,320 of grief or not i don't know if i would 845 00:32:50,549 --> 00:32:50,080 call it grief but just trying to deal 846 00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:50,559 with 847 00:32:53,990 --> 00:32:53,279 my new reality of not having any parents 848 00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:54,000 and 849 00:33:01,350 --> 00:32:57,760 so forth so what is an interesting 850 00:33:04,070 --> 00:33:01,360 death duelist story i think it is 851 00:33:05,669 --> 00:33:04,080 and it it also kind of transitions uh it 852 00:33:07,669 --> 00:33:05,679 transitions 853 00:33:09,269 --> 00:33:07,679 i don't have a problem with that word it 854 00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:09,279 transitions us 855 00:33:13,350 --> 00:33:11,760 into this topic that i really want to 856 00:33:16,470 --> 00:33:13,360 talk to you about 857 00:33:18,870 --> 00:33:16,480 regarding religion 858 00:33:19,909 --> 00:33:18,880 because you know you mentioned i'm 859 00:33:23,430 --> 00:33:19,919 working on this 860 00:33:26,470 --> 00:33:23,440 book why evil matters 861 00:33:28,070 --> 00:33:26,480 and the premise of the book is really 862 00:33:29,430 --> 00:33:28,080 pretty simple it's like 863 00:33:30,789 --> 00:33:29,440 you know you mentioned the first book 864 00:33:32,470 --> 00:33:30,799 why science is wrong about almost 865 00:33:35,590 --> 00:33:32,480 everything and that book was like 866 00:33:37,750 --> 00:33:35,600 hey science if you don't 867 00:33:39,269 --> 00:33:37,760 get science consciousness right i mean 868 00:33:40,389 --> 00:33:39,279 if you think consciousness is an 869 00:33:42,470 --> 00:33:40,399 illusion 870 00:33:43,590 --> 00:33:42,480 you really can't do science you can't do 871 00:33:45,350 --> 00:33:43,600 anything because 872 00:33:47,190 --> 00:33:45,360 consciousness is there we have to 873 00:33:48,710 --> 00:33:47,200 measure it in all these experiments we 874 00:33:51,110 --> 00:33:48,720 have to factor it in 875 00:33:51,990 --> 00:33:51,120 and we can put an asterisk by our work 876 00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:52,000 and say 877 00:33:56,070 --> 00:33:54,480 i did the best i can but i wasn't taking 878 00:33:57,269 --> 00:33:56,080 into account consciousness whether 879 00:33:59,350 --> 00:33:57,279 that's in the form of the observer 880 00:34:00,870 --> 00:33:59,360 effect or whatever you know 881 00:34:02,870 --> 00:34:00,880 okay you get enough of that speech 882 00:34:05,830 --> 00:34:02,880 you've heard it before probably 883 00:34:07,590 --> 00:34:05,840 skeptical but the premise of why evil 884 00:34:09,669 --> 00:34:07,600 matters is that 885 00:34:11,270 --> 00:34:09,679 if we're going to consider this extended 886 00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:11,280 realm what you and i talk about with 887 00:34:14,790 --> 00:34:12,320 such ease 888 00:34:16,389 --> 00:34:14,800 you know oh you have your conscious mind 889 00:34:17,109 --> 00:34:16,399 at my minute and experience but then 890 00:34:19,109 --> 00:34:17,119 there's this 891 00:34:21,669 --> 00:34:19,119 other realm and there's spirits and 892 00:34:23,430 --> 00:34:21,679 there's we don't even know what they are 893 00:34:25,349 --> 00:34:23,440 like you're saying you know these these 894 00:34:26,790 --> 00:34:25,359 tulpa kind of thought creation things 895 00:34:27,990 --> 00:34:26,800 there's all these other things that seem 896 00:34:29,270 --> 00:34:28,000 to be showing up 897 00:34:31,430 --> 00:34:29,280 i'm going to put a label on that and 898 00:34:34,790 --> 00:34:31,440 call that extended consciousness 899 00:34:38,069 --> 00:34:34,800 well my point is we can't begin 900 00:34:41,349 --> 00:34:38,079 to talk about extended consciousness 901 00:34:43,109 --> 00:34:41,359 or our role in it or 902 00:34:46,149 --> 00:34:43,119 what that would mean in terms of this 903 00:34:48,869 --> 00:34:46,159 term we call spirituality 904 00:34:49,990 --> 00:34:48,879 with maybe a lens into that maybe a way 905 00:34:52,629 --> 00:34:50,000 to jump into that 906 00:34:54,389 --> 00:34:52,639 is to look at evil because it seems to 907 00:34:57,750 --> 00:34:54,399 me we do such a 908 00:35:00,470 --> 00:34:57,760 terrible job i mean just just 909 00:35:01,349 --> 00:35:00,480 a terrible job with evil and i think 910 00:35:03,829 --> 00:35:01,359 religion 911 00:35:06,550 --> 00:35:03,839 is part of it you know because on one 912 00:35:08,230 --> 00:35:06,560 hand we have science that says well evil 913 00:35:09,990 --> 00:35:08,240 evil doesn't exist because you know 914 00:35:10,870 --> 00:35:10,000 you're a biological robot in the endless 915 00:35:12,630 --> 00:35:10,880 universe there could 916 00:35:13,910 --> 00:35:12,640 you know what are you even talking about 917 00:35:16,390 --> 00:35:13,920 but then you have this other 918 00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:16,400 kind of subtle part of culture that 919 00:35:20,069 --> 00:35:17,760 we've talked about and 920 00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:20,079 you've explored and i want to talk about 921 00:35:24,470 --> 00:35:21,680 that kind of says 922 00:35:26,150 --> 00:35:24,480 hey yeah there is evil and look at my 923 00:35:28,710 --> 00:35:26,160 netflix show about 924 00:35:30,550 --> 00:35:28,720 you know this and let's look at the 925 00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:30,560 memphis three and you know 926 00:35:34,390 --> 00:35:33,440 johnny depp and you know satanism is 927 00:35:36,069 --> 00:35:34,400 kind of cool 928 00:35:37,910 --> 00:35:36,079 isn't it you know there's that kind of 929 00:35:40,150 --> 00:35:37,920 part and then 930 00:35:42,150 --> 00:35:40,160 the only other place we can go is to 931 00:35:45,109 --> 00:35:42,160 brother john is that his name 932 00:35:46,790 --> 00:35:45,119 the guy yes it was brother john and i 933 00:35:49,910 --> 00:35:46,800 don't remember his last name 934 00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:49,920 it he has very little about him 935 00:35:56,069 --> 00:35:52,960 in the public forum i once found out 936 00:35:58,150 --> 00:35:56,079 i think he has a mildly german last name 937 00:35:59,510 --> 00:35:58,160 like airlift or something of that nature 938 00:36:02,069 --> 00:35:59,520 but that's not it 939 00:36:03,030 --> 00:36:02,079 um and well he's probably he's probably 940 00:36:04,870 --> 00:36:03,040 a wonderful guy 941 00:36:06,550 --> 00:36:04,880 he's probably incredibly spiritually 942 00:36:08,950 --> 00:36:06,560 enlightened based on what you're saying 943 00:36:12,310 --> 00:36:08,960 and the experiences and all that 944 00:36:13,510 --> 00:36:12,320 but jeez he's in this catholic cult 945 00:36:14,630 --> 00:36:13,520 you know like one of the things i love 946 00:36:16,470 --> 00:36:14,640 about what you said first i was 947 00:36:18,470 --> 00:36:16,480 listening one of your interviews you go 948 00:36:19,990 --> 00:36:18,480 okay and this person is this religion 949 00:36:22,630 --> 00:36:20,000 and you're very 950 00:36:25,109 --> 00:36:22,640 nice i like it new york new jersey 951 00:36:27,430 --> 00:36:25,119 accent so yeah this person is 952 00:36:28,550 --> 00:36:27,440 in in this religion or you can call it a 953 00:36:31,030 --> 00:36:28,560 cult either one 954 00:36:33,030 --> 00:36:31,040 interchangeable yeah it's like you just 955 00:36:35,270 --> 00:36:33,040 said that matter of factly and i'm like 956 00:36:36,390 --> 00:36:35,280 absolutely interchangeably 957 00:36:39,510 --> 00:36:36,400 matter-of-factly 958 00:36:40,150 --> 00:36:39,520 just because brother john is in the 959 00:36:43,349 --> 00:36:40,160 catholic 960 00:36:45,670 --> 00:36:43,359 cult doesn't mean that he's a bad guy 961 00:36:47,349 --> 00:36:45,680 doesn't mean that he's a million times 962 00:36:50,069 --> 00:36:47,359 more spiritually enlightened 963 00:36:52,870 --> 00:36:50,079 than i am he could be but until we 964 00:36:54,950 --> 00:36:52,880 understand the cultish elements 965 00:36:57,109 --> 00:36:54,960 and let that plane pass jeez that's a 966 00:36:59,670 --> 00:36:57,119 loud one 967 00:37:00,630 --> 00:36:59,680 but until we until we understand the the 968 00:37:03,670 --> 00:37:00,640 cultish 969 00:37:06,630 --> 00:37:03,680 aspects of of those religions 970 00:37:07,510 --> 00:37:06,640 it's and tease them out you know like i 971 00:37:11,349 --> 00:37:07,520 think you can be 972 00:37:14,230 --> 00:37:11,359 part of the the catholic community 973 00:37:15,430 --> 00:37:14,240 and not be highly influenced by the 974 00:37:17,190 --> 00:37:15,440 cultish part of it 975 00:37:18,630 --> 00:37:17,200 i think the same with christianity in 976 00:37:21,510 --> 00:37:18,640 general or any religion 977 00:37:22,150 --> 00:37:21,520 you can find a way through that that 978 00:37:24,950 --> 00:37:22,160 doesn't 979 00:37:26,870 --> 00:37:24,960 totally weigh you down into the cult but 980 00:37:27,990 --> 00:37:26,880 jeez when you talk to some of those 981 00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:28,000 people they do 982 00:37:32,310 --> 00:37:29,920 i feel like they're not willing to own 983 00:37:34,150 --> 00:37:32,320 the fact that 984 00:37:35,430 --> 00:37:34,160 a lot of the ideas they have are just 985 00:37:37,510 --> 00:37:35,440 straight out of the cult 986 00:37:39,270 --> 00:37:37,520 playbook and they don't make any sense 987 00:37:39,829 --> 00:37:39,280 rationally and they're not approaching 988 00:37:43,109 --> 00:37:39,839 it 989 00:37:45,270 --> 00:37:43,119 from a scientific or i love the way you 990 00:37:45,910 --> 00:37:45,280 said i would put pre-scientific way you 991 00:37:47,589 --> 00:37:45,920 know you said 992 00:37:48,950 --> 00:37:47,599 hey i approached this like with the 993 00:37:50,630 --> 00:37:48,960 monroe institute 994 00:37:52,950 --> 00:37:50,640 and i tried to do it in a scientific way 995 00:37:54,710 --> 00:37:52,960 i know it's not science per se 996 00:37:56,310 --> 00:37:54,720 but try and do it in an organized 997 00:37:59,190 --> 00:37:56,320 systematic logical 998 00:38:00,230 --> 00:37:59,200 way that uses the your best means of 999 00:38:03,430 --> 00:38:00,240 discernment 1000 00:38:05,430 --> 00:38:03,440 without jumping into this well that's 1001 00:38:05,829 --> 00:38:05,440 because that's what the bible says kind 1002 00:38:09,109 --> 00:38:05,839 of thing 1003 00:38:11,589 --> 00:38:09,119 i mean which bible i would say 1004 00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:11,599 which bible are you talking about is it 1005 00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:13,200 jimmy john's bible 1006 00:38:19,750 --> 00:38:16,480 of plain spoken southern english 1007 00:38:22,790 --> 00:38:19,760 or is it the king james version or is it 1008 00:38:25,589 --> 00:38:22,800 um a scene version or 1009 00:38:27,510 --> 00:38:25,599 did we learn to speak aramaic somewhere 1010 00:38:28,230 --> 00:38:27,520 along the line and really look at the 1011 00:38:30,470 --> 00:38:28,240 stuff 1012 00:38:32,069 --> 00:38:30,480 in which case we find out that the devil 1013 00:38:35,829 --> 00:38:32,079 wasn't really a big player 1014 00:38:38,790 --> 00:38:35,839 in the early writings uh 1015 00:38:39,349 --> 00:38:38,800 so you've got that and then of course um 1016 00:38:42,069 --> 00:38:39,359 you've got 1017 00:38:43,589 --> 00:38:42,079 richard smalley who you've quoted on 1018 00:38:46,630 --> 00:38:43,599 your show 1019 00:38:49,990 --> 00:38:46,640 with his quote uh about what 1020 00:38:52,230 --> 00:38:50,000 what you know christian religion is and 1021 00:38:53,589 --> 00:38:52,240 how does that really make sense that god 1022 00:38:56,150 --> 00:38:53,599 is up there and sent 1023 00:38:57,750 --> 00:38:56,160 his son to be tortured and you know 1024 00:38:59,990 --> 00:38:57,760 threw everybody into 1025 00:39:00,950 --> 00:39:00,000 lasting damnation because a woman ate an 1026 00:39:03,670 --> 00:39:00,960 apple or 1027 00:39:04,150 --> 00:39:03,680 whatever i mean it's it's kind of wild 1028 00:39:08,950 --> 00:39:04,160 um 1029 00:39:10,630 --> 00:39:08,960 church 1030 00:39:12,710 --> 00:39:10,640 um there's a couple of interesting 1031 00:39:15,589 --> 00:39:12,720 things about the catholic church 1032 00:39:16,790 --> 00:39:15,599 like um i think that a lot of medieval 1033 00:39:21,349 --> 00:39:16,800 history 1034 00:39:25,109 --> 00:39:21,359 otherwise would be gone 1035 00:39:26,550 --> 00:39:25,119 however it's probably not i said tainted 1036 00:39:28,950 --> 00:39:26,560 that's too negative word 1037 00:39:29,750 --> 00:39:28,960 i would say it's pushed in a certain 1038 00:39:32,630 --> 00:39:29,760 direction 1039 00:39:33,750 --> 00:39:32,640 but at least we have some concept of 1040 00:39:37,030 --> 00:39:33,760 what went on 1041 00:39:39,030 --> 00:39:37,040 during medieval times largely due to the 1042 00:39:40,630 --> 00:39:39,040 record keeping of the catholic church 1043 00:39:43,829 --> 00:39:40,640 so i mean i mean hold on let me let me 1044 00:39:46,630 --> 00:39:43,839 just interject because you would be dead 1045 00:39:47,270 --> 00:39:46,640 if at the during those times right a 1046 00:39:51,990 --> 00:39:47,280 woman 1047 00:39:53,589 --> 00:39:52,000 because you would immediately be 1048 00:39:56,870 --> 00:39:53,599 identified as practicing 1049 00:39:58,710 --> 00:39:56,880 witchcraft and you would be killed and i 1050 00:39:59,510 --> 00:39:58,720 think that you know we can kind of oh ha 1051 00:40:05,990 --> 00:39:59,520 ha 1052 00:40:07,829 --> 00:40:06,000 right now i'm sure well i mean 1053 00:40:09,109 --> 00:40:07,839 i think i i guess that's what i'm saying 1054 00:40:10,870 --> 00:40:09,119 in in terms of owner 1055 00:40:12,630 --> 00:40:10,880 owning you know like because i'm going 1056 00:40:14,230 --> 00:40:12,640 to talk to i got a i'm interviewing a 1057 00:40:16,390 --> 00:40:14,240 guy who's a 1058 00:40:18,069 --> 00:40:16,400 super researcher love this guy he's done 1059 00:40:21,750 --> 00:40:18,079 some amazing work 1060 00:40:23,750 --> 00:40:21,760 on crowley and on this satanism that's 1061 00:40:25,349 --> 00:40:23,760 in our culture in such a strange way and 1062 00:40:28,470 --> 00:40:25,359 people don't even realize they're 1063 00:40:29,030 --> 00:40:28,480 they're entering into this this dance 1064 00:40:31,589 --> 00:40:29,040 with 1065 00:40:32,230 --> 00:40:31,599 i don't know what it is but i i just 1066 00:40:34,470 --> 00:40:32,240 think 1067 00:40:35,589 --> 00:40:34,480 there's there isn't the awareness there 1068 00:40:38,309 --> 00:40:35,599 and i don't think 1069 00:40:40,710 --> 00:40:38,319 christians understand their culpability 1070 00:40:43,750 --> 00:40:40,720 in it and their culpability in it is 1071 00:40:46,950 --> 00:40:43,760 they've created such a mess with 1072 00:40:49,510 --> 00:40:46,960 their crazy ideas that there's 1073 00:40:50,950 --> 00:40:49,520 always going to be it's easy to rile 1074 00:40:52,790 --> 00:40:50,960 someone up and pushing back 1075 00:40:54,069 --> 00:40:52,800 and saying yeah why would they why would 1076 00:40:55,750 --> 00:40:54,079 they kill farrugia 1077 00:40:57,829 --> 00:40:55,760 and then they'll have some explanation 1078 00:40:59,670 --> 00:40:57,839 for it or why would they be against 1079 00:41:01,910 --> 00:40:59,680 gay marriage is a great one you know 1080 00:41:04,710 --> 00:41:01,920 well why do you think you have 1081 00:41:06,309 --> 00:41:04,720 why do you think your book has anything 1082 00:41:10,150 --> 00:41:06,319 to say about what 1083 00:41:12,470 --> 00:41:10,160 two adults do privately 1084 00:41:14,470 --> 00:41:12,480 to express how they feel about you how 1085 00:41:17,109 --> 00:41:14,480 in the world do you think 1086 00:41:17,510 --> 00:41:17,119 your book has any is any opinion on that 1087 00:41:24,470 --> 00:41:17,520 it's 1088 00:41:25,430 --> 00:41:24,480 hole that we have a tendency to give a 1089 00:41:27,109 --> 00:41:25,440 pass to 1090 00:41:28,550 --> 00:41:27,119 and kind of say well those are your 1091 00:41:30,069 --> 00:41:28,560 religious beliefs and 1092 00:41:31,910 --> 00:41:30,079 i guess i ought to respect your 1093 00:41:34,550 --> 00:41:31,920 religious beliefs and 1094 00:41:35,109 --> 00:41:34,560 i want to push past that a little bit 1095 00:41:39,109 --> 00:41:35,119 and and 1096 00:41:41,430 --> 00:41:39,119 that's what i'm attempting to do can we 1097 00:41:43,510 --> 00:41:41,440 talk about gay marriage for a second and 1098 00:41:44,710 --> 00:41:43,520 you know i mean gay marriage won't ruin 1099 00:41:47,109 --> 00:41:44,720 your marriage it's 1100 00:41:49,510 --> 00:41:47,119 you know it's gay marriage it's between 1101 00:41:51,349 --> 00:41:49,520 two same-sex people and that's just fine 1102 00:41:54,069 --> 00:41:51,359 as far as i'm concerned i am certainly 1103 00:41:57,430 --> 00:41:54,079 not against gay marriage but i think 1104 00:42:00,790 --> 00:41:57,440 that the language here 1105 00:42:04,710 --> 00:42:00,800 is one thing that is wrong 1106 00:42:07,109 --> 00:42:04,720 uh with all of us because some people 1107 00:42:07,829 --> 00:42:07,119 uh look at the word marriage as a 1108 00:42:10,790 --> 00:42:07,839 religious 1109 00:42:11,030 --> 00:42:10,800 institution where other people look at 1110 00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:11,040 it 1111 00:42:18,710 --> 00:42:18,160 that is a great deal let me explain um 1112 00:42:25,750 --> 00:42:18,720 if 1113 00:42:28,309 --> 00:42:25,760 who went to the went and got a uh 1114 00:42:29,030 --> 00:42:28,319 certificate if everyone had a civil 1115 00:42:32,069 --> 00:42:29,040 union 1116 00:42:33,349 --> 00:42:32,079 and left marriage to be something 1117 00:42:36,470 --> 00:42:33,359 religious this would 1118 00:42:38,230 --> 00:42:36,480 maybe would never have come up i 1119 00:42:39,990 --> 00:42:38,240 you know i don't care if it came up i 1120 00:42:41,510 --> 00:42:40,000 don't care if it came up that that to me 1121 00:42:42,390 --> 00:42:41,520 takes it in the wrong direction excuse 1122 00:42:45,030 --> 00:42:42,400 me for sure 1123 00:42:46,069 --> 00:42:45,040 i get worked but it's like no i'll put 1124 00:42:48,390 --> 00:42:46,079 it right in your face 1125 00:42:49,829 --> 00:42:48,400 call it religion what is your religion 1126 00:42:52,230 --> 00:42:49,839 care what is your 1127 00:42:55,030 --> 00:42:52,240 what kind of religion do you have that 1128 00:42:57,750 --> 00:42:55,040 you've made any sense of in your mind 1129 00:42:58,790 --> 00:42:57,760 and i'm not saying you obviously that 1130 00:43:01,430 --> 00:42:58,800 you could somehow 1131 00:43:04,069 --> 00:43:01,440 justify that this is something you need 1132 00:43:05,750 --> 00:43:04,079 to stick your nose in 1133 00:43:07,349 --> 00:43:05,760 i don't respect it i don't have to 1134 00:43:09,589 --> 00:43:07,359 respect that religious belief 1135 00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:09,599 i can challenge that religious belief in 1136 00:43:14,870 --> 00:43:11,599 the court of public opinion and go 1137 00:43:18,309 --> 00:43:14,880 that's rather ridiculous isn't it 1138 00:43:21,990 --> 00:43:18,319 i i agree with you i agree with you but 1139 00:43:25,589 --> 00:43:22,000 i don't personally deal 1140 00:43:26,309 --> 00:43:25,599 in religion that's my point that's my 1141 00:43:27,430 --> 00:43:26,319 point i guess 1142 00:43:29,270 --> 00:43:27,440 i guess that's my point and one of the 1143 00:43:31,589 --> 00:43:29,280 reasons i want to talk to you is that 1144 00:43:33,829 --> 00:43:31,599 you've you've navigated that terrain 1145 00:43:35,349 --> 00:43:33,839 but when we look at it i i love that 1146 00:43:36,950 --> 00:43:35,359 quote you know it's like you call it a 1147 00:43:38,550 --> 00:43:36,960 cult you call it religion i don't care 1148 00:43:40,710 --> 00:43:38,560 it's 1149 00:43:41,910 --> 00:43:40,720 just the semantics thing they're the 1150 00:43:45,349 --> 00:43:41,920 same thing 1151 00:43:49,430 --> 00:43:45,359 you can't believe you can't have 1152 00:43:52,710 --> 00:43:49,440 faith that your wacky beliefs 1153 00:43:55,510 --> 00:43:52,720 about gay marriage have any basis 1154 00:43:56,069 --> 00:43:55,520 in some deeper spiritual truth unless 1155 00:43:58,870 --> 00:43:56,079 you've 1156 00:44:01,109 --> 00:43:58,880 subjected yourself to some kind of mind 1157 00:44:01,750 --> 00:44:01,119 control religious social engineering 1158 00:44:03,510 --> 00:44:01,760 project 1159 00:44:05,190 --> 00:44:03,520 which we're all subject to i'm not 1160 00:44:07,670 --> 00:44:05,200 immune from that i'm sorry 1161 00:44:08,630 --> 00:44:07,680 i look back on the pictures of me way 1162 00:44:10,630 --> 00:44:08,640 back in the day 1163 00:44:12,470 --> 00:44:10,640 wearing bell bottoms and you know 1164 00:44:13,190 --> 00:44:12,480 wearing hair or when i lived in dallas 1165 00:44:15,190 --> 00:44:13,200 you know having 1166 00:44:17,109 --> 00:44:15,200 some cowboy boots on like i was socially 1167 00:44:19,670 --> 00:44:17,119 engineered i get it you know and 1168 00:44:21,190 --> 00:44:19,680 i grew up in the greek orthodox church i 1169 00:44:22,870 --> 00:44:21,200 get it you know and i went and kissed 1170 00:44:24,309 --> 00:44:22,880 the priest's hand to get a little piece 1171 00:44:25,109 --> 00:44:24,319 of bread because that's what i was told 1172 00:44:27,910 --> 00:44:25,119 to do 1173 00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:27,920 i get it but until christians can come 1174 00:44:32,870 --> 00:44:30,720 clean and go wow that really is 1175 00:44:34,710 --> 00:44:32,880 that really is cultish that it really is 1176 00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:34,720 trying to control my beliefs 1177 00:44:38,150 --> 00:44:37,520 then alex because the thing is we can 1178 00:44:41,349 --> 00:44:38,160 talk about 1179 00:44:44,230 --> 00:44:41,359 catholicism because it is a an 1180 00:44:45,670 --> 00:44:44,240 institution that has certain amount of 1181 00:44:47,750 --> 00:44:45,680 things that are 1182 00:44:49,750 --> 00:44:47,760 known about it but there are a lot of 1183 00:44:51,430 --> 00:44:49,760 people calling themselves christians and 1184 00:44:54,309 --> 00:44:51,440 frankly it baffles me 1185 00:44:55,750 --> 00:44:54,319 in terms of any idea about christianity 1186 00:44:58,950 --> 00:44:55,760 not only that but 1187 00:45:01,109 --> 00:44:58,960 um the basis of all this people 1188 00:45:02,150 --> 00:45:01,119 don't people need to be led around there 1189 00:45:05,510 --> 00:45:02,160 are people who are 1190 00:45:09,190 --> 00:45:05,520 followers they mentally need some 1191 00:45:12,390 --> 00:45:09,200 person or persons to look up to 1192 00:45:16,470 --> 00:45:12,400 and be a follower of now i think that 1193 00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:16,480 you and i primarily we may have heroes 1194 00:45:19,589 --> 00:45:19,119 but we are not anybody's followers i am 1195 00:45:23,589 --> 00:45:19,599 not a 1196 00:45:26,550 --> 00:45:23,599 joiner you may not be a joiner either 1197 00:45:27,670 --> 00:45:26,560 um i have people that i hold in high 1198 00:45:30,870 --> 00:45:27,680 regard 1199 00:45:33,270 --> 00:45:30,880 but i don't follow them i think for 1200 00:45:35,510 --> 00:45:33,280 myself or at least i try to 1201 00:45:37,990 --> 00:45:35,520 and i do look at other people's ideas 1202 00:45:38,790 --> 00:45:38,000 and i do adopt some ideas which seem to 1203 00:45:41,990 --> 00:45:38,800 have 1204 00:45:42,950 --> 00:45:42,000 um hold weight for me but i don't decide 1205 00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:42,960 that they're true 1206 00:45:50,630 --> 00:45:47,760 i just find them to be interesting ideas 1207 00:45:51,670 --> 00:45:50,640 fair enough and and well i i kind of 1208 00:45:53,510 --> 00:45:51,680 took that from your 1209 00:45:54,790 --> 00:45:53,520 larger body of work and you know 1210 00:45:56,470 --> 00:45:54,800 whenever i kind of get off on these 1211 00:45:58,230 --> 00:45:56,480 rants and people get all upset 1212 00:46:00,390 --> 00:45:58,240 because they're feel like their 1213 00:46:00,790 --> 00:46:00,400 religious beliefs are being trampled on 1214 00:46:04,069 --> 00:46:00,800 and 1215 00:46:07,270 --> 00:46:04,079 that is exactly my intent i don't think 1216 00:46:10,550 --> 00:46:07,280 religious beliefs deserve any kind of 1217 00:46:13,190 --> 00:46:10,560 special special 1218 00:46:14,230 --> 00:46:13,200 uh position in the court of public 1219 00:46:16,950 --> 00:46:14,240 opinion 1220 00:46:18,710 --> 00:46:16,960 if you have a wacky idea if you believe 1221 00:46:20,630 --> 00:46:18,720 in flat earth 1222 00:46:22,710 --> 00:46:20,640 then you deserve and you want to come 1223 00:46:27,030 --> 00:46:22,720 out and publicly talk about that 1224 00:46:30,550 --> 00:46:27,040 you deserve to be kind of 1225 00:46:33,589 --> 00:46:30,560 a have those beliefs questioned 1226 00:46:35,270 --> 00:46:33,599 and i i just think that in this little 1227 00:46:37,589 --> 00:46:35,280 domain that i'm talking about now 1228 00:46:39,510 --> 00:46:37,599 in terms of evil and i guess that was a 1229 00:46:40,950 --> 00:46:39,520 long rant but let me bring it back to 1230 00:46:42,069 --> 00:46:40,960 getting your opinion if i haven't 1231 00:46:44,390 --> 00:46:42,079 totally 1232 00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:44,400 contaminated the possibility of getting 1233 00:46:49,750 --> 00:46:46,480 an objective opinion 1234 00:46:53,190 --> 00:46:49,760 but i'd like to explore the role that 1235 00:46:57,190 --> 00:46:53,200 religion has played in obscuring 1236 00:46:59,349 --> 00:46:57,200 our ability to understand 1237 00:47:01,109 --> 00:46:59,359 really what's going on in this thing 1238 00:47:02,710 --> 00:47:01,119 that we might call evil but i guess 1239 00:47:03,910 --> 00:47:02,720 before i can even get there because that 1240 00:47:06,309 --> 00:47:03,920 was my intent 1241 00:47:08,550 --> 00:47:06,319 so the lead up to that would be you know 1242 00:47:10,870 --> 00:47:08,560 how do you even feel about evil 1243 00:47:12,630 --> 00:47:10,880 because i know a lot of people are not 1244 00:47:13,190 --> 00:47:12,640 even comfortable with the term i've had 1245 00:47:16,390 --> 00:47:13,200 people 1246 00:47:17,990 --> 00:47:16,400 straight up say i don't believe in evil 1247 00:47:20,950 --> 00:47:18,000 i don't believe 1248 00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:20,960 evil exists and what i'm working on i'm 1249 00:47:25,430 --> 00:47:23,040 not trying to 1250 00:47:26,790 --> 00:47:25,440 offer a definition of evil which is 1251 00:47:29,430 --> 00:47:26,800 where people always want to go 1252 00:47:30,150 --> 00:47:29,440 well do you think you know the do you 1253 00:47:33,030 --> 00:47:30,160 think the 1254 00:47:33,510 --> 00:47:33,040 drone strikes were more evil than than 1255 00:47:35,750 --> 00:47:33,520 you know 1256 00:47:37,589 --> 00:47:35,760 satanic ritual abuse and it's like why 1257 00:47:38,150 --> 00:47:37,599 would we want to play that game of you 1258 00:47:41,430 --> 00:47:38,160 know which 1259 00:47:42,390 --> 00:47:41,440 is more evil i i point to you know i did 1260 00:47:45,109 --> 00:47:42,400 an interview with 1261 00:47:46,390 --> 00:47:45,119 uh with a wonderful woman her name is 1262 00:47:47,910 --> 00:47:46,400 annika lucas 1263 00:47:49,430 --> 00:47:47,920 and i really connected with her because 1264 00:47:51,990 --> 00:47:49,440 she's a yogi like me 1265 00:47:52,950 --> 00:47:52,000 and she has this amazing yoga program 1266 00:47:55,430 --> 00:47:52,960 for incarcerate 1267 00:47:57,510 --> 00:47:55,440 incarcerated women in new york she's 1268 00:47:59,030 --> 00:47:57,520 really turned her life around because at 1269 00:48:02,549 --> 00:47:59,040 six years old 1270 00:48:05,829 --> 00:48:02,559 she was sold into a satanic ritual 1271 00:48:07,829 --> 00:48:05,839 abuse cult in belgium and as 1272 00:48:09,990 --> 00:48:07,839 horrifying as that is for people to 1273 00:48:12,630 --> 00:48:10,000 imagine at six years old 1274 00:48:14,710 --> 00:48:12,640 this is the belgium cult that was all 1275 00:48:15,829 --> 00:48:14,720 over the news in the 90s i mean if you 1276 00:48:19,589 --> 00:48:15,839 want to go see 1277 00:48:20,950 --> 00:48:19,599 you know just insane pictures 1278 00:48:23,190 --> 00:48:20,960 of they actually had pictures of the 1279 00:48:26,230 --> 00:48:23,200 kids bound 1280 00:48:29,349 --> 00:48:26,240 in cages that's what they were doing 1281 00:48:30,069 --> 00:48:29,359 and this is the cult that annika was 1282 00:48:33,030 --> 00:48:30,079 sold 1283 00:48:34,470 --> 00:48:33,040 into and almost died i mean should have 1284 00:48:36,790 --> 00:48:34,480 died other children 1285 00:48:37,829 --> 00:48:36,800 died in that cult so i i guess the 1286 00:48:41,750 --> 00:48:37,839 reason i bring all that 1287 00:48:44,630 --> 00:48:41,760 up is sometimes you know people need to 1288 00:48:46,150 --> 00:48:44,640 know it when i see it kind of aspect of 1289 00:48:47,829 --> 00:48:46,160 this so you just talk about that case 1290 00:48:48,870 --> 00:48:47,839 they go okay i give up yeah there is 1291 00:48:51,510 --> 00:48:48,880 evil that's 1292 00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:51,520 that's evil no question so once we 1293 00:48:55,670 --> 00:48:53,280 ground ourselves in the fact 1294 00:48:57,349 --> 00:48:55,680 but again maybe you don't see that as 1295 00:48:59,510 --> 00:48:57,359 evil but if there is evil 1296 00:49:01,990 --> 00:48:59,520 and we're gonna get to evil i think 1297 00:49:05,190 --> 00:49:02,000 religion's getting in the way 1298 00:49:08,549 --> 00:49:05,200 well largely i would agree with you 1299 00:49:10,630 --> 00:49:08,559 i would say the following i 1300 00:49:12,069 --> 00:49:10,640 would say that there are different 1301 00:49:15,270 --> 00:49:12,079 points of view 1302 00:49:18,790 --> 00:49:15,280 as to what is evil 1303 00:49:21,190 --> 00:49:18,800 in terms of i think it's evil to kill 1304 00:49:22,630 --> 00:49:21,200 um elephants for instance i think that's 1305 00:49:25,430 --> 00:49:22,640 horribly evil i think 1306 00:49:26,790 --> 00:49:25,440 big gay punters are are like the scourge 1307 00:49:29,990 --> 00:49:26,800 of the universe as 1308 00:49:32,230 --> 00:49:30,000 they're very evil um 1309 00:49:35,030 --> 00:49:32,240 but i would say that it it depends on 1310 00:49:38,390 --> 00:49:35,040 the point of view of the person 1311 00:49:39,910 --> 00:49:38,400 doing the deed so that if you 1312 00:49:41,589 --> 00:49:39,920 well doesn't that contradict with what 1313 00:49:45,030 --> 00:49:41,599 you just said i mean 1314 00:49:48,950 --> 00:49:45,040 if i'm if uh imagine a hypothetical 1315 00:49:51,430 --> 00:49:48,960 where i'm a starving or nearly starving 1316 00:49:53,589 --> 00:49:51,440 you know hunter in africa and the only 1317 00:49:54,710 --> 00:49:53,599 means i have of supporting my family and 1318 00:49:58,069 --> 00:49:54,720 my community 1319 00:50:02,470 --> 00:49:58,079 is harvesting ivory off of that elephant 1320 00:50:05,510 --> 00:50:02,480 and i with all my power of intention 1321 00:50:07,349 --> 00:50:05,520 pray for the for the good life beyond 1322 00:50:08,630 --> 00:50:07,359 this life for that elephant and i go 1323 00:50:12,549 --> 00:50:08,640 down and take them down 1324 00:50:15,270 --> 00:50:12,559 and take that tusk am i doing evil 1325 00:50:16,390 --> 00:50:15,280 um i think that there are other ways to 1326 00:50:17,910 --> 00:50:16,400 support 1327 00:50:19,750 --> 00:50:17,920 oneself no that's not that's not the 1328 00:50:20,470 --> 00:50:19,760 point the point is that individual 1329 00:50:24,230 --> 00:50:20,480 hunter 1330 00:50:27,270 --> 00:50:24,240 are they are they perpetuating evil 1331 00:50:28,790 --> 00:50:27,280 i cannot speak for that person i cannot 1332 00:50:31,670 --> 00:50:28,800 speak for that person 1333 00:50:33,750 --> 00:50:31,680 i find it to be an evil act but i can't 1334 00:50:37,990 --> 00:50:33,760 really speak for that person 1335 00:50:38,309 --> 00:50:38,000 um because here's what i think evil is i 1336 00:50:40,230 --> 00:50:38,319 can 1337 00:50:41,990 --> 00:50:40,240 make it that people keep pushing me for 1338 00:50:43,829 --> 00:50:42,000 the definition since doing this book 1339 00:50:45,030 --> 00:50:43,839 and and here's the here's the definition 1340 00:50:47,190 --> 00:50:45,040 i kind of play around with when i'm 1341 00:50:50,230 --> 00:50:47,200 really pushed to throw it out there 1342 00:50:51,750 --> 00:50:50,240 if you're doing something that is 1343 00:50:54,069 --> 00:50:51,760 intentionally 1344 00:50:55,349 --> 00:50:54,079 soul-crushing to use a word that doesn't 1345 00:50:56,470 --> 00:50:55,359 really have a meaning but we all know 1346 00:51:00,150 --> 00:50:56,480 what it means 1347 00:51:03,589 --> 00:51:00,160 if you're trying to intentionally impede 1348 00:51:07,750 --> 00:51:03,599 someone's spiritual progress at that 1349 00:51:11,430 --> 00:51:07,760 fundamental level then that's evil 1350 00:51:15,109 --> 00:51:11,440 everything else is in this gray area 1351 00:51:18,230 --> 00:51:15,119 this huge gray area between the absolute 1352 00:51:21,190 --> 00:51:18,240 divine highest thing and 1353 00:51:22,549 --> 00:51:21,200 that which is the lowest thing that's my 1354 00:51:26,150 --> 00:51:22,559 take on it 1355 00:51:28,390 --> 00:51:26,160 doesn't sound like wrong to me 1356 00:51:30,069 --> 00:51:28,400 alex that doesn't sound like a wrong 1357 00:51:33,589 --> 00:51:30,079 definition of it 1358 00:51:37,270 --> 00:51:33,599 um and i would find it hard to define 1359 00:51:38,230 --> 00:51:37,280 evil like in ten handy words but i would 1360 00:51:41,549 --> 00:51:38,240 say 1361 00:51:46,950 --> 00:51:41,559 if you do something 1362 00:51:50,790 --> 00:51:46,960 intentionally to hurt another being 1363 00:51:54,630 --> 00:51:50,800 that you perceive as being alive then 1364 00:51:57,670 --> 00:51:54,640 that would be closer to my definition 1365 00:52:00,790 --> 00:51:57,680 of evil in terms of a human point of 1366 00:52:03,910 --> 00:52:01,910 then we get into the problem with 1367 00:52:05,829 --> 00:52:03,920 self-defense and you know even the dalai 1368 00:52:06,549 --> 00:52:05,839 lama says you know if someone's coming 1369 00:52:08,470 --> 00:52:06,559 and 1370 00:52:10,870 --> 00:52:08,480 well there's something else there that i 1371 00:52:13,349 --> 00:52:10,880 would bring up as a question 1372 00:52:13,990 --> 00:52:13,359 rather than as a point as my point of 1373 00:52:17,030 --> 00:52:14,000 view 1374 00:52:18,710 --> 00:52:17,040 but more as a question i would bring up 1375 00:52:22,630 --> 00:52:18,720 the idea of 1376 00:52:24,710 --> 00:52:22,640 this poor girl uh miss lucas annika 1377 00:52:27,190 --> 00:52:24,720 lucas who i couldn't listen to 1378 00:52:30,230 --> 00:52:27,200 because i just couldn't bear the thought 1379 00:52:32,230 --> 00:52:30,240 of hearing about ritual sexual abuse 1380 00:52:33,910 --> 00:52:32,240 i couldn't listen to it on a certain 1381 00:52:37,030 --> 00:52:33,920 level uh 1382 00:52:40,150 --> 00:52:37,040 but what i would say is if you 1383 00:52:43,910 --> 00:52:40,160 or a person let's say a man 1384 00:52:45,589 --> 00:52:43,920 of sufficient means of physically to do 1385 00:52:48,870 --> 00:52:45,599 something about it 1386 00:52:51,990 --> 00:52:48,880 was in a position to rescue this 1387 00:52:55,910 --> 00:52:52,000 little girl and murder 1388 00:53:02,230 --> 00:52:59,349 harming her would you 1389 00:53:03,190 --> 00:53:02,240 be more culpable if you didn't murder 1390 00:53:06,630 --> 00:53:03,200 hurt him 1391 00:53:09,589 --> 00:53:06,640 than if you did murder him i furthermore 1392 00:53:10,950 --> 00:53:09,599 have never believed people in my youth i 1393 00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:10,960 would run against people 1394 00:53:14,549 --> 00:53:13,200 who would say to me you know i could 1395 00:53:17,829 --> 00:53:14,559 never do anything 1396 00:53:21,030 --> 00:53:17,839 bad if my sainted mother 1397 00:53:24,549 --> 00:53:21,040 was being murdered by a mob of 1398 00:53:28,150 --> 00:53:24,559 angry people who wanted to rape her 1399 00:53:30,710 --> 00:53:28,160 i couldn't hurt them 1400 00:53:31,829 --> 00:53:30,720 i don't believe them i honestly don't 1401 00:53:34,069 --> 00:53:31,839 believe them 1402 00:53:35,430 --> 00:53:34,079 i say put yourself actually in that 1403 00:53:38,150 --> 00:53:35,440 position or don't 1404 00:53:39,910 --> 00:53:38,160 but i don't believe that i don't believe 1405 00:53:43,349 --> 00:53:39,920 that that is the way 1406 00:53:44,870 --> 00:53:43,359 humans are wired now we can't get away 1407 00:53:48,309 --> 00:53:44,880 from the point 1408 00:53:51,270 --> 00:53:48,319 that as humans we are animals 1409 00:53:52,630 --> 00:53:51,280 specifically we're mammals and we have 1410 00:53:56,309 --> 00:53:52,640 more in common 1411 00:53:58,870 --> 00:53:56,319 with chimps and gorillas and orangutans 1412 00:54:00,630 --> 00:53:58,880 then you know then we don't have in 1413 00:54:02,230 --> 00:54:00,640 common with them we have a tremendous 1414 00:54:06,470 --> 00:54:02,240 amount in common with them 1415 00:54:08,549 --> 00:54:06,480 and they do use language and so forth so 1416 00:54:09,510 --> 00:54:08,559 we can't get away from that animal 1417 00:54:13,190 --> 00:54:09,520 spirit 1418 00:54:16,150 --> 00:54:13,200 while we're incarnate in a physical body 1419 00:54:18,309 --> 00:54:16,160 but what happens when the chimp dies is 1420 00:54:19,270 --> 00:54:18,319 the chimp going to go on to a higher 1421 00:54:21,510 --> 00:54:19,280 consciousness 1422 00:54:22,950 --> 00:54:21,520 this is a question this is not an answer 1423 00:54:24,470 --> 00:54:22,960 what happens when e.t 1424 00:54:25,990 --> 00:54:24,480 dies that's the question i always like 1425 00:54:29,270 --> 00:54:26,000 to throw out there does et 1426 00:54:32,470 --> 00:54:29,280 have a life review is e.t 1427 00:54:35,990 --> 00:54:32,480 a biological entity 1428 00:54:39,349 --> 00:54:36,000 is my answer yeah well i mean i think 1429 00:54:43,750 --> 00:54:39,359 again i would i would cast it back 1430 00:54:47,510 --> 00:54:43,760 as you so aptly did in the if we accept 1431 00:54:49,349 --> 00:54:47,520 the wide variety of possible things that 1432 00:54:50,549 --> 00:54:49,359 exist in the extended realm 1433 00:54:53,030 --> 00:54:50,559 i think the evidence is pretty 1434 00:54:57,109 --> 00:54:53,040 overwhelming that e.t is 1435 00:54:57,829 --> 00:54:57,119 real on some on some physical material 1436 00:55:00,789 --> 00:54:57,839 level 1437 00:55:02,549 --> 00:55:00,799 may also be real on this 1438 00:55:05,510 --> 00:55:02,559 interdimensional level 1439 00:55:05,990 --> 00:55:05,520 but you know i mean first you'd have to 1440 00:55:08,549 --> 00:55:06,000 come back 1441 00:55:10,470 --> 00:55:08,559 and ask really the tough questions about 1442 00:55:11,670 --> 00:55:10,480 our reality you know and like the 1443 00:55:14,710 --> 00:55:11,680 near-death experience 1444 00:55:16,309 --> 00:55:14,720 people and a lot of people have entered 1445 00:55:16,710 --> 00:55:16,319 the extended realm what they'll tell you 1446 00:55:19,990 --> 00:55:16,720 is 1447 00:55:21,829 --> 00:55:20,000 experiencing it you're 1448 00:55:23,190 --> 00:55:21,839 playing with it and you're calling it 1449 00:55:25,190 --> 00:55:23,200 real but it's 1450 00:55:28,710 --> 00:55:25,200 less than real and there's a greater 1451 00:55:30,470 --> 00:55:28,720 reality but it does seem to me and i'm 1452 00:55:32,150 --> 00:55:30,480 very open to hearing your interpretation 1453 00:55:34,390 --> 00:55:32,160 of it but the 1454 00:55:35,510 --> 00:55:34,400 you know i think jacques valet is kind 1455 00:55:37,589 --> 00:55:35,520 of misunderstood 1456 00:55:39,430 --> 00:55:37,599 and i interviewed him on skeptico and i 1457 00:55:40,950 --> 00:55:39,440 tried to pin him down on this but it 1458 00:55:42,470 --> 00:55:40,960 didn't take much to pin him down he's 1459 00:55:43,670 --> 00:55:42,480 open but he says yeah 1460 00:55:45,670 --> 00:55:43,680 sure you want to talk about 1461 00:55:47,430 --> 00:55:45,680 consciousness extended consciousness 1462 00:55:49,190 --> 00:55:47,440 interdimensional i'm there 1463 00:55:51,109 --> 00:55:49,200 but i'm also down with the fact that 1464 00:55:52,470 --> 00:55:51,119 there's a real physical presence that's 1465 00:55:53,910 --> 00:55:52,480 interacting with people and we can't 1466 00:55:56,470 --> 00:55:53,920 deny the fact that 1467 00:55:57,589 --> 00:55:56,480 they're leaving behind you know this 1468 00:55:59,990 --> 00:55:57,599 crazy evidence 1469 00:56:01,589 --> 00:56:00,000 trace evidence and it's layered in this 1470 00:56:03,109 --> 00:56:01,599 way that we have no way of creating on 1471 00:56:06,549 --> 00:56:03,119 this earth and all the rest that 1472 00:56:07,109 --> 00:56:06,559 all points to yeah well and then you you 1473 00:56:09,349 --> 00:56:07,119 interviewed 1474 00:56:11,109 --> 00:56:09,359 diana walsh posalka too and you were a 1475 00:56:12,630 --> 00:56:11,119 little bit too easy on her because you 1476 00:56:13,670 --> 00:56:12,640 did that girl the girl thing but that's 1477 00:56:16,309 --> 00:56:13,680 all right i know 1478 00:56:18,069 --> 00:56:16,319 women got to stick together i get it but 1479 00:56:19,910 --> 00:56:18,079 she's found the same thing so you know 1480 00:56:21,030 --> 00:56:19,920 space junk in the desert kind of thing 1481 00:56:24,309 --> 00:56:21,040 so it's like 1482 00:56:25,270 --> 00:56:24,319 yeah i mean et is there's some e.t 1483 00:56:27,349 --> 00:56:25,280 that's 1484 00:56:30,069 --> 00:56:27,359 biological and what is their 1485 00:56:32,549 --> 00:56:30,079 relationship to consciousness and then 1486 00:56:33,190 --> 00:56:32,559 do they have a do they have a when they 1487 00:56:36,230 --> 00:56:33,200 have their 1488 00:56:37,990 --> 00:56:36,240 after death experience what's their life 1489 00:56:39,990 --> 00:56:38,000 review like because life review 1490 00:56:41,109 --> 00:56:40,000 you know getting back to evil life 1491 00:56:43,670 --> 00:56:41,119 review is 1492 00:56:44,870 --> 00:56:43,680 a great window into what we're talking 1493 00:56:47,109 --> 00:56:44,880 about here 1494 00:56:49,270 --> 00:56:47,119 because when near-death experiences come 1495 00:56:50,150 --> 00:56:49,280 back and you interviewed you interviewed 1496 00:56:52,230 --> 00:56:50,160 right 1497 00:56:54,390 --> 00:56:52,240 true but you you interviewed gregory 1498 00:56:56,150 --> 00:56:54,400 shushan to dr gregory shusham 1499 00:56:57,910 --> 00:56:56,160 yes which is interesting because if 1500 00:56:59,349 --> 00:56:57,920 people don't know you know he's done the 1501 00:57:01,510 --> 00:56:59,359 cross-cultural 1502 00:57:02,390 --> 00:57:01,520 cross-time look at near-death 1503 00:57:03,910 --> 00:57:02,400 experiences 1504 00:57:06,230 --> 00:57:03,920 and he doesn't come back and say gee 1505 00:57:07,910 --> 00:57:06,240 they all look just like jeff long's 1506 00:57:09,750 --> 00:57:07,920 he kind of says something a little 1507 00:57:11,670 --> 00:57:09,760 different than that but the big picture 1508 00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:11,680 is kind of the the same and the thing 1509 00:57:17,190 --> 00:57:13,440 about the life review 1510 00:57:18,789 --> 00:57:17,200 is that you review 1511 00:57:20,870 --> 00:57:18,799 there isn't some other one making a 1512 00:57:21,750 --> 00:57:20,880 judgment on should you have killed that 1513 00:57:23,190 --> 00:57:21,760 elephant 1514 00:57:25,430 --> 00:57:23,200 or should you have not killed that 1515 00:57:26,150 --> 00:57:25,440 elephant or should you have stopped that 1516 00:57:28,789 --> 00:57:26,160 guy 1517 00:57:29,990 --> 00:57:28,799 from raping and then murdering that kid 1518 00:57:32,630 --> 00:57:30,000 or not 1519 00:57:34,390 --> 00:57:32,640 you will be the one who judges that and 1520 00:57:35,030 --> 00:57:34,400 i think that changes that changes 1521 00:57:36,950 --> 00:57:35,040 everything 1522 00:57:38,710 --> 00:57:36,960 and i think there's a parallel for to 1523 00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:38,720 what we need to do here 1524 00:57:41,990 --> 00:57:40,400 we don't need to make that judgment we 1525 00:57:43,510 --> 00:57:42,000 need to make that judgment as a society 1526 00:57:47,109 --> 00:57:43,520 in terms of who we lock up 1527 00:57:50,230 --> 00:57:47,119 but beyond that it's like your karma 1528 00:57:53,190 --> 00:57:50,240 bro well i 1529 00:57:54,470 --> 00:57:53,200 still can't get away from the idea that 1530 00:57:59,109 --> 00:57:54,480 we are 1531 00:58:00,710 --> 00:57:59,119 incarnate as you know a biological thing 1532 00:58:04,630 --> 00:58:00,720 which is an animal 1533 00:58:08,309 --> 00:58:04,640 and that we have certain instinctual 1534 00:58:10,470 --> 00:58:08,319 um actions that we might take 1535 00:58:11,510 --> 00:58:10,480 so there's that and i don't really have 1536 00:58:14,309 --> 00:58:11,520 an answer for that 1537 00:58:15,829 --> 00:58:14,319 and in terms of diana walsh poselka i 1538 00:58:18,870 --> 00:58:15,839 was very happy to get her 1539 00:58:22,309 --> 00:58:18,880 on shattered reality podcast but 1540 00:58:24,470 --> 00:58:22,319 we had a little bit of a history because 1541 00:58:25,750 --> 00:58:24,480 while i was reading her book i was in 1542 00:58:29,190 --> 00:58:25,760 rome 1543 00:58:32,390 --> 00:58:29,200 and i had so many things happen 1544 00:58:34,069 --> 00:58:32,400 around the vatican and around her and a 1545 00:58:37,190 --> 00:58:34,079 book that i brought to read 1546 00:58:39,670 --> 00:58:37,200 with me uh by accident and 1547 00:58:42,710 --> 00:58:39,680 it it became like all these 1548 00:58:45,589 --> 00:58:42,720 synchronicities between the two of us 1549 00:58:49,589 --> 00:58:45,599 that involved also a woman who is 1550 00:58:53,270 --> 00:58:49,599 somewhat known in ufo circles named 1551 00:58:56,630 --> 00:58:53,280 brenda denzler uh who i know 1552 00:58:58,950 --> 00:58:56,640 only on the internet and through groups 1553 00:59:01,190 --> 00:58:58,960 and stuff but i know her pretty well 1554 00:59:03,030 --> 00:59:01,200 and she was involved with it and so 1555 00:59:06,150 --> 00:59:03,040 there were all these 1556 00:59:09,190 --> 00:59:06,160 like i was at the vatican and um 1557 00:59:12,390 --> 00:59:09,200 the night after i left the vatican i 1558 00:59:14,309 --> 00:59:12,400 fell on my face and uh and and i hurt 1559 00:59:16,630 --> 00:59:14,319 myself really badly 1560 00:59:18,150 --> 00:59:16,640 and it was like this whole everything 1561 00:59:21,990 --> 00:59:18,160 was connected it's it's 1562 00:59:25,030 --> 00:59:22,000 impossible even to talk about it in 1563 00:59:27,030 --> 00:59:25,040 10 paragraphs here but 1564 00:59:28,630 --> 00:59:27,040 what you try to try though because it's 1565 00:59:29,750 --> 00:59:28,640 an amazing story and then when you 1566 00:59:32,950 --> 00:59:29,760 talked with 1567 00:59:34,710 --> 00:59:32,960 dr uh poselka what she said was 1568 00:59:36,150 --> 00:59:34,720 that you are not the only one who's had 1569 00:59:38,870 --> 00:59:36,160 these extraordinary 1570 00:59:40,870 --> 00:59:38,880 experiences connected with this one 1571 00:59:42,950 --> 00:59:40,880 spirit being saint being so 1572 00:59:44,870 --> 00:59:42,960 just recap for for folks for russia 1573 00:59:45,990 --> 00:59:44,880 because it's it's amazing and again 1574 00:59:47,349 --> 00:59:46,000 you're not catholic you're not 1575 00:59:50,230 --> 00:59:47,359 christian so it's like you're not 1576 00:59:52,230 --> 00:59:50,240 christian right you know i i don't i was 1577 00:59:53,829 --> 00:59:52,240 i was a lutheran

extent 1581 01:00:04,069 --> 01:00:02,240 simply because i realized that there are 1582 01:00:04,950 --> 01:00:04,079 a lot of people who are not free 1583 01:00:07,349 --> 01:00:04,960 thinkers 1584

01:00:35,910 --> 01:00:31,839 well i would have to say 1597 01:00:39,829 --> 01:00:35,920 that it started off with michael grosso 1598 01:00:41,430 --> 01:00:39,839 who i've had on a few times and it also 1599 01:00:43,829 --> 01:00:41,440 involves 1600 01:00:44,549 --> 01:00:43,839 people from the monroe institute who 1601 01:00:48,069 --> 01:00:44,559 went 1602 01:00:51,030 --> 01:00:48,079 to

1636 01:02:11,109 --> 01:02:07,280 were eyewitnesses and 1637 01:02:12,069 --> 01:02:11,119 it's like yeah it's like if you deny it 1638 01:02:14,230 --> 01:02:12,079 it's like i don't know 1639 01:02:15,109 --> 01:02:14,240 on what basis you would deny you know 1640 01:02:17,910 --> 01:02:15,119 just because 1641 01:02:20,069 --> 01:02:17,920 it's like something they said they saw 1642 01:02:23,510 --> 01:02:20,079 the church tried to suppress it 1643 01:02:25,510 --> 01:02:23,520 basically and finally the evidence was 1644 01:02:27,910 --> 01:02:25,520 overwhelming and so they just 1645 01:02:29,190 --> 01:02:27,920 let him they gave him a pass they tried 1646 01:02:31,829 --> 01:02:29,200 to sort of keep him 1647 01:02:34,309 --> 01:02:31,839 under wraps they gave it a pass and he 1648 01:02:37,510 --> 01:02:34,319 eventually proceeded to sainthood 1649 01:02:40,950 --> 01:02:37,520 however his female counterpart which 1650 01:02:43,990 --> 01:02:40,960 was the woman mary of agrada i believe 1651 01:02:44,950 --> 01:02:44,000 who came uh and who was seen by native 1652 01:02:48,630 --> 01:02:44,960 americans 1653 01:02:52,789 --> 01:02:48,640 having uh trans transposed herself 1654 01:02:55,029 --> 01:02:52,799 into the southwest desert and um 1655 01:02:56,230 --> 01:02:55,039 became known to these native americans 1656 01:02:58,150 --> 01:02:56,240 as the 1657 01:02:59,750 --> 01:02:58,160 blue lady the white lady or something 1658 01:03:02,710 --> 01:02:59,760 like that she she came 1659 01:03:05,190 --> 01:03:02,720 she gave teachings and it was totally 1660 01:03:08,069 --> 01:03:05,200 non-physical and it was also provable 1661 01:03:09,190 --> 01:03:08,079 and i believe diana was very much 1662 01:03:12,470 --> 01:03:09,200 involved with 1663 01:03:15,750 --> 01:03:12,480 her and um when i went to 1664 01:03:15,990 --> 01:03:15,760 italy i was not going for the re i was 1665 01:03:19,750 --> 01:03:16,000 just 1666 01:03:21,670 -->

01:05:12,240 all these adventures in italy um i was 1710 01:05:16,470 --> 01:05:13,039 sitting 1711 01:05:20,710 --> 01:05:16,480 on the airplane trying to meditate 1712 01:05:23,750 --> 01:05:20,720 and i saw this woman sitting 1713 01:05:25,029 --> 01:05:23,760 like where there are no seats it's it's 1714 01:05:27,829 --> 01:05:25,039 not the bulkhead it's 1715 01:05:28,309 --> 01:05:27,839

of 1719 01:05:35,510 --> 01:05:33,760 skips maybe two rows of seats towards 1720 01:05:38,710 --> 01:05:35,520 the back of the airplane 1721 01:05:41,190 --> 01:05:38,720 and um i would meditate no i had it sort 1722 01:05:44,710 --> 01:05:41,200 of like semi-open-eyed meditation 1723 01:05:45,990 --> 01:05:44,720 and i kept feeling this woman being 1724 01:05:48,150 --> 01:05:46,000 there 1725 01:05:50,309 --> 01:05:48,160 and every time i really looked it was 1726 01:05:53,109 --> 01:05:50,319 she wasn't there but she was there 1727 01:05:55,430 --> 01:05:53,119 and unmistakably it wasn't just 1728 01:05:58,470 --> 01:05:55,440 something that i was imagining and 1729 01:05:59,589 --> 01:05:58,480 like really just fever dreams because i 1730 01:06:03,109 --> 01:05:59,599 was fully awake 1731 01:06:06,630 --> 01:06:03,119 though i was in i guess alpha state 1732 01:06:07,750 --> 01:06:06,640 uh of brain waves and i just got the 1733 01:06:10,230 --> 01:06:07,760 feeling it was 1734 01:06:12,390 --> 01:06:10,240 good old brenda denzler who wrote once 1735 01:06:15,750 --> 01:06:12,400 wrote a book about ufos 1736 01:06:18,789 --> 01:06:15,760 and um who i didn't know at the time 1737 01:06:21,029 --> 01:06:18,799 had given diana walsh posalka 1738 01:06:21,910 --> 01:06:21,039 a whole bunch of her library and her 1739 01:06:24,309 --> 01:06:21,920 research 1740 01:06:24,950 --> 01:06:24,319 i had no idea the two knew each other at 1741 01:06:27,349 --> 01:06:24,960 all at 1742 01:06:29,190 --> 01:06:27,359 all and i just thought oh my gosh what's 1743 01:06:32,069 --> 01:06:29,200 brenda doing here and 1744 01:06:33,510 --> 01:06:32,079 why and and then when i spoke with diana 1745 01:06:36,390 --> 01:06:33,520 she said she was sure it was 1746 01:06:38,150 --> 01:06:36,400 a saint mary of agra which i think who i 1747 01:06:39,270 --> 01:06:38,160 think is actually not a saint but mary 1748 01:06:42,230 --> 01:06:39,280 of agridope 1749 01:06:43,829 --> 01:06:42,240 um and i said okay i thought it was 1750 01:06:45,750 --> 01:06:43,839 brenda dexler and then she comes out 1751 01:06:48,950 --> 01:06:45,760 with well yeah i know brendan slipped 1752 01:06:53,190 --> 01:06:50,549 and i'm sure i'm missing parts of the 1753 01:06:55,589 --> 01:06:53,200 story but it was just 1754 01:06:56,470 --> 01:06:55,599 it was mind-bending yeah that's 1755 01:06:58,230 --> 01:06:56,480 fascinating 1756 01:06:59,589 --> 01:06:58,240 and i think you know the other part of 1757 01:07:02,870 --> 01:06:59,599 that is that 1758 01:07:05,670 --> 01:07:02,880 so then diana proceeds to tell you 1759 01:07:07,029 --> 01:07:05,680 that she's had many people report 1760 01:07:09,270 --> 01:07:07,039 encounters with 1761 01:07:10,390 --> 01:07:09,280 her book american cosmic which is a 1762 01:07:13,430 --> 01:07:10,400 fantastic 1763 01:07:13,990 --> 01:07:13,440 book if anyone hasn't read it it's like 1764 01:07:17,430 --> 01:07:14,000 a very 1765 01:07:19,910 --> 01:07:17,440 important book to read and it's 1766 01:07:21,670 --> 01:07:19,920 fantastically entertaining but it's just 1767 01:07:24,789 --> 01:07:21,680 important in terms of this 1768 01:07:27,990 --> 01:07:24,799 invisible college thing in terms of 1769 01:07:31,190 --> 01:07:28,000 the kind of way secrets are are 1770 01:07:33,910 --> 01:07:31,200 held around this topic of uh ufos 1771 01:07:35,990 --> 01:07:33,920 and then you know even touching on the 1772 01:07:37,750 --> 01:07:36,000 the spiritual part of it too right but 1773 01:07:39,270 --> 01:07:37,760 but she's had a number of people come 1774 01:07:42,069 --> 01:07:39,280 forward and say they've had a connection 1775 01:07:43,829 --> 01:07:42,079 with this saint through her 1776 01:07:45,349 --> 01:07:43,839 through her body she converted to 1777 01:07:47,910 --> 01:07:45,359 catholicism as 1778 01:07:49,910 --> 01:07:47,920 you know she was always a spiritual 1779 01:07:51,109 --> 01:07:49,920 child and she actually converted to 1780 01:07:53,510 --> 01:07:51,119 catholicism 1781 01:07:55,109 --> 01:07:53,520 but what i find interesting you know as 1782 01:07:57,029 --> 01:07:55,119 i said the history 1783 01:07:59,270 --> 01:07:57,039 the things that are interesting about 1784 01:08:00,710 --> 01:07:59,280 catholicism from my point of view 1785 01:08:02,470 --> 01:08:00,720 is that also they're extremely 1786 01:08:04,710 --> 01:08:02,480 interested in ufos 1787 01:08:06,870 --> 01:08:04,720 and you've got to ask yourself why and 1788 01:08:08,069 --> 01:08:06,880 they do maintain these observatories 1789 01:08:11,670 --> 01:08:08,079 around the world 1790 01:08:13,190 --> 01:08:11,680 so there's some what's to me 1791 01:08:14,950 --> 01:08:13,200 i don't get that when you say that 1792 01:08:17,669 --> 01:08:14,960 what's the answer that question 1793 01:08:18,470 --> 01:08:17,679 because it would have to be a complete 1794 01:08:21,189 --> 01:08:18,480 ultimate 1795 01:08:21,510 --> 01:08:21,199 conspiracy that is that is that is not 1796 01:08:24,950 --> 01:08:21,520 at 1797 01:08:29,030 --> 01:08:24,960 be interested 1798 01:08:32,709 --> 01:08:29,040 in ufos they claim to have a direct line 1799 01:08:35,030 --> 01:08:32,719 to god and the son of the one and only 1800 01:08:37,189 --> 01:08:35,040 son of the only begotten son of god 1801 01:08:39,510 --> 01:08:37,199 that is their position and they they 1802 01:08:42,149 --> 01:08:39,520 kind of do this little dance of like oh 1803 01:08:43,590 --> 01:08:42,159 you know set out they're like the cia 1804 01:08:45,189 --> 01:08:43,600 you know or like our government here you 1805 01:08:47,910 --> 01:08:45,199 know they put out these kind of cryptid 1806 01:08:48,709 --> 01:08:47,920 well i don't know what would you think 1807 01:08:50,950 --> 01:08:48,719 about that 1808 01:08:52,470 --> 01:08:50,960 they're not up front about about what 1809 01:08:53,829 --> 01:08:52,480 they think or what they believe and they 1810 01:08:57,189 --> 01:08:53,839 certainly don't let people 1811 01:08:58,789 --> 01:08:57,199 in to see any of their secret documents 1812 01:09:01,510 --> 01:08:58,799 didn't let me in to see their secret 1813 01:09:03,349 --> 01:09:01,520 documents but 1814 01:09:04,870 --> 01:09:03,359 i didn't ask on the other hand but be 1815 01:09:08,709 --> 01:09:04,880 that as it may i 1816 01:09:12,070 --> 01:09:08,719 think that what we're talking about here 1817 01:09:13,829 --> 01:09:12,080 is a smaller version of what people 1818 01:09:15,749 --> 01:09:13,839 talk about when they talk about the 1819 01:09:19,590 --> 01:09:15,759 united states government 1820 01:09:22,789 --> 01:09:19,600 it ain't just one thing so 1821 01:09:24,470 --> 01:09:22,799 you know but from a spiritual standpoint 1822 01:09:27,669 --> 01:09:24,480 is that what we want 1823 01:09:29,349 --> 01:09:27,679 i don't understand why i don't 1824 01:09:31,749 --> 01:09:29,359 understand that i mean 1825 01:09:33,669 --> 01:09:31,759 i'm interested in spirituality but my 1826 01:09:37,269 --> 01:09:33,679 understanding of spirituality 1827 01:09:39,269 --> 01:09:37,279 is nudging towards this ultimate truth 1828 01:09:41,829 --> 01:09:39,279 you know to put it in kind of new ageish 1829 01:09:44,630 --> 01:09:41,839 terms to get closer to the light 1830 01:09:47,189 --> 01:09:44,640 that all loving all-encompassing light 1831 01:09:49,910 --> 01:09:47,199 that near-death experiences researchers 1832 01:09:50,309 --> 01:09:49,920 talk about and experiencers talk about 1833 01:09:53,189 --> 01:09:50,319 and 1834 01:09:53,749 --> 01:09:53,199 to me it seems pretty straightforward 1835 01:09:55,750 --> 01:09:53,759 you know i 1836 01:09:57,270 --> 01:09:55,760 i there's a moral imperative there seems 1837 01:09:59,110 --> 01:09:57,280 to be a right and wrong 1838 01:10:00,790 --> 01:09:59,120 we have discernment i do seem to have 1839 01:10:03,189 --> 01:10:00,800 discernment i do seem to know 1840 01:10:04,550 --> 01:10:03,199 what's right and what's wrong and i can 1841 01:10:08,310 --> 01:10:04,560 make that choice 1842 01:10:11,750 --> 01:10:08,320 it's so freaking simple why do i need 1843 01:10:13,430 --> 01:10:11,760 a religion to connect with any of that 1844 01:10:15,910 --> 01:10:13,440 and then it is incredibly condescending 1845 01:10:17,510 --> 01:10:15,920 to say well you don't need it alex but 1846 01:10:19,510 --> 01:10:17,520 there's some stupid 1847 01:10:21,030 --> 01:10:19,520 you know follower people out there that 1848 01:10:23,510 --> 01:10:21,040 need it i don't buy that 1849 01:10:25,350 --> 01:10:23,520 i think i think people are i think we're 1850 01:10:28,709 --> 01:10:25,360 pretty smart 1851 01:10:31,189 --> 01:10:28,719 could could be better served 1852 01:10:32,149 --> 01:10:31,199 than how they are served by many 1853 01:10:35,270 --> 01:10:32,159 religions 1854 01:10:36,390 --> 01:10:35,280 um beyond catholicism and other 1855 01:10:39,990 --> 01:10:36,400 religions i think 1856 01:10:43,430 --> 01:10:40,000 even those folks could be better served 1857 01:10:46,709 --> 01:10:43,440 but i do think that some people 1858 01:10:49,910 --> 01:10:46,719 don't question uh consciousness like 1859 01:10:53,030 --> 01:10:49,920 you do or like i do and for those 1860 01:10:55,390 --> 01:10:53,040 people they need a place 1861 01:10:57,750 --> 01:10:55,400 in their life to put that they 1862 01:11:00,709 --> 01:10:57,760 compartmentalize 1863 01:11:01,590 --> 01:11:00,719 and you know am i saying people are 1864 01:11:04,709 --> 01:11:01,600 stupid 1865 01:11:07,750 --> 01:11:04,719 not so much as as i'm saying that people 1866 01:11:09,189 --> 01:11:07,760 choose in their life to focus on 1867 01:11:11,990 --> 01:11:09,199 different areas 1868 01:11:13,910 --> 01:11:12,000 now um you know there's a guy out there 1869 01:11:16,229 --> 01:11:13,920 who focuses on football i have 1870 01:11:18,790 --> 01:11:16,239 absolutely no interest in sports 1871 01:11:20,229 --> 01:11:18,800 it just is totally uninteresting to me 1872 01:11:22,390 --> 01:11:20,239 as a human being 1873 01:11:24,870 --> 01:11:22,400 but there's that guy who focuses on 1874 01:11:27,990 --> 01:11:24,880 football he thinks about god 1875 01:11:31,110 --> 01:11:28,000 he kisses his christian medal to win 1876 01:11:34,390 --> 01:11:31,120 the um the uh uh 1877 01:11:36,709 --> 01:11:34,400 to get the pass or to make the touchdown 1878 01:11:39,510 --> 01:11:36,719 or whatever the heck it is i don't know 1879 01:11:40,470 --> 01:11:39,520 and and to me and you that may seem 1880 01:11:42,350 --> 01:11:40,480 ridiculous 1881 01:11:43,669 --> 01:11:42,360 but this is the way he has 1882 01:11:46,550 --> 01:11:43,679 compartmentalized 1883 01:11:48,390 --> 01:11:46,560 the spiritual aspect of his life now 1884 01:11:51,910 --> 01:11:48,400 could that man be better served 1885 01:11:55,430 --> 01:11:51,920 absolutely he's not being well served by 1886 01:11:58,470 --> 01:11:55,440 by religions in general which 1887 01:11:59,590 --> 01:11:58,480 require a following which require more 1888 01:12:01,910 --> 01:11:59,600 times than not 1889 01:12:02,870 --> 01:12:01,920 that you follow some man wearing a dress 1890 01:12:04,950 --> 01:12:02,880 and believe that 1891 01:12:07,669 --> 01:12:04,960 whatever he says is what you ought to 1892 01:12:09,990 --> 01:12:07,679 follow i can't do that you can't do that 1893 01:12:12,550 --> 01:12:10,000 but i think that's because perhaps 1894 01:12:13,350 --> 01:12:12,560 your area of interest and my area of 1895 01:12:16,310 --> 01:12:13,360 interest 1896 01:12:18,070 --> 01:12:16,320 are far different from his but could he 1897 01:12:22,870 --> 01:12:18,080 be better served by 1898 01:12:26,950 --> 01:12:22,880 a spiritual advisor absolutely 1899 01:12:30,390 --> 01:12:26,960 does that make any sense yeah no i if we 1900 01:12:33,590 --> 01:12:30,400 we've maybe pulled that as far as we can 1901 01:12:35,910 --> 01:12:33,600 you know we ought to move towards 1902 01:12:37,510 --> 01:12:35,920 kind of concluding this we've been at it 1903 01:12:39,910 --> 01:12:37,520 for an hour and a half it's been 1904 01:12:42,470 --> 01:12:39,920 just a terrific child i love wow i 1905 01:12:45,030 --> 01:12:42,480 didn't realize it was that long 1906 01:12:45,590 --> 01:12:45,040 it's it's good time flies when you're 1907 01:12:48,790 --> 01:12:45,600 having 1908 01:12:51,270 --> 01:12:48,800 fun as they absolutely absolutely 1909 01:12:51,910 --> 01:12:51,280 so do we have do you have any other 1910 01:12:55,030 --> 01:12:51,920 thoughts 1911 01:12:58,149 --> 01:12:55,040 on what i should be 1912 01:13:02,229 --> 01:12:58,159 considering in terms of why 1913 01:13:05,910 --> 01:13:02,239 evil matters why it's we we kind of 1914 01:13:09,110 --> 01:13:05,920 really took different points of view 1915 01:13:10,630 --> 01:13:09,120 like on the ivory hunter that's exactly 1916 01:13:14,070 --> 01:13:10,640 what i don't want to 1917 01:13:15,110 --> 01:13:14,080 get into to me that is that is far from 1918 01:13:17,430 --> 01:13:15,120 the spiritual 1919 01:13:19,350 --> 01:13:17,440 you know yeah i don't i don't need to 1920 01:13:24,390 --> 01:13:19,360 get further into that 1921 01:13:28,790 --> 01:13:27,510 it's it's it's so hard because as people 1922 01:13:32,070 --> 01:13:28,800 have said 1923 01:13:35,750 --> 01:13:32,080 on your show you can't study something 1924 01:13:38,149 --> 01:13:35,760 with the something that you are studying 1925 01:13:38,790 --> 01:13:38,159 and i think that's really the biggest 1926 01:13:42,550 --> 01:13:38,800 problem 1927 01:13:46,070 --> 01:13:42,560 in in what we're talking about 1928 01:13:50,870 --> 01:13:46,080 um if i were to write a book about 1929 01:13:56,070 --> 01:13:50,880 evil i probably 1930 01:14:03,750 --> 01:14:00,070 a perspective of of not human uh 1931 01:14:06,070 --> 01:14:03,760 like what is human and are humans on the 1932 01:14:08,790 --> 01:14:06,080 top of this scale because i don't look 1933 01:14:11,990 --> 01:14:08,800 at humans as the crown of creation 1934 01:14:15,990 --> 01:14:12,000 and um i would kind of look at 1935 01:14:19,270 --> 01:14:16,000 where what is the human part of it 1936 01:14:22,790 --> 01:14:19,280 versus the way other creatures 1937 01:14:26,070 --> 01:14:22,800 both incarnate and discarnate might see 1938 01:14:28,709 --> 01:14:26,080 the concept and 1939 01:14:30,470 --> 01:14:28,719 that's where i would stand that's an 1940 01:14:32,709 --> 01:14:30,480 awesome perspective and it's 1941 01:14:34,310 --> 01:14:32,719 one that that i hadn't fully considered 1942 01:14:35,990 --> 01:14:34,320 and i love the way you put it up before 1943 01:14:37,590 --> 01:14:36,000 you know because i kind of jumped on the 1944 01:14:39,830 --> 01:14:37,600 animal thing but she also said 1945 01:14:40,870 --> 01:14:39,840 what about the trees thing you know have 1946 01:14:44,149 --> 01:14:40,880 you heard about that guy 1947 01:14:44,790 --> 01:14:44,159 as a german researcher who did the 1948 01:14:46,070 --> 01:14:44,800 research 1949 01:14:47,910 --> 01:14:46,080 you should have him on your show you 1950 01:14:51,030 --> 01:14:47,920 guys would have a great time 1951 01:14:53,110 --> 01:14:51,040 but he took it purely from a scientific 1952 01:14:54,470 --> 01:14:53,120 biological standpoint did you know this 1953 01:14:55,510 --> 01:14:54,480 this work i'm talking about and he said 1954 01:14:57,830 --> 01:14:55,520 the connection 1955 01:14:59,270 --> 01:14:57,840 and the communication of these trees you 1956 01:15:01,510 --> 01:14:59,280 know 1957 01:15:02,790 --> 01:15:01,520 i got the same thing from a woman i'm i 1958 01:15:05,189 --> 01:15:02,800 don't know the german guy 1959 01:15:06,870 --> 01:15:05,199 but i'd love to have his name but i was 1960 01:15:08,310 --> 01:15:06,880 going to bring up a woman whose name of 1961 01:15:10,630 --> 01:15:08,320 course i i can't find 1962 01:15:12,550 --> 01:15:10,640 right at the moment maybe it's here 1963 01:15:14,950 --> 01:15:12,560 somewhere in my notes 1964 01:15:16,550 --> 01:15:14,960 i mean these trees are actually he found 1965 01:15:17,830 --> 01:15:16,560 these trees are actually like battling 1966 01:15:20,550 --> 01:15:17,840 each other you know like 1967 01:15:22,070 --> 01:15:20,560 this grove of trees is trying to keep 1968 01:15:24,470 --> 01:15:22,080 out the other trees or that 1969 01:15:25,990 --> 01:15:24,480 trees aren't as happy you know this 1970 01:15:27,510 --> 01:15:26,000 anthropomorphizing a little bit but he 1971 01:15:28,950 --> 01:15:27,520 has the data to back it up 1972 01:15:30,709 --> 01:15:28,960 these kind of trees don't like being 1973 01:15:31,750 --> 01:15:30,719 alone you know don't just go plant them 1974 01:15:34,550 --> 01:15:31,760 alone in a 1975 01:15:34,870 --> 01:15:34,560 under a tree lamppost they don't like 1976 01:15:39,350 --> 01:15:34,880 that 1977 01:15:43,270 --> 01:15:39,360 approaching it from a scientific 1978 01:15:46,550 --> 01:15:43,280 basis and it has the data to support 1979 01:15:48,390 --> 01:15:46,560 what he's saying i i had a woman 1980 01:15:49,669 --> 01:15:48,400 whose name i don't have in front of me 1981 01:15:52,070 --> 01:15:49,679 right at the moment 1982 01:15:53,430 --> 01:15:52,080 but she may be canadian i think she is 1983 01:15:56,390 --> 01:15:53,440 canadian and she 1984 01:15:57,750 --> 01:15:56,400 talks about the same things and just as 1985 01:16:00,310 --> 01:15:57,760 a final
