1 00:00:09,290 --> 00:00:06,110 um this episode is skeptico a show about 2 00:00:12,410 --> 00:00:09,300 rules and lessons when to go against 3 00:00:16,550 --> 00:00:12,420 them see I'm not a monster 4 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:22,010 rules and you think that'll save you 5 00:00:26,630 --> 00:00:24,710 and when maybe to follow them 6 00:00:29,089 --> 00:00:26,640 it's almost like these are lessons that 7 00:00:31,070 --> 00:00:29,099 we've already got inside of us and it 8 00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:31,080 really synchronized with what I believed 9 00:00:34,370 --> 00:00:33,360 even before I had my near-death 10 00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:34,380 experience 11 00:00:39,229 --> 00:00:36,780 first clip of course was from The Dark 12 00:00:41,990 --> 00:00:39,239 Knight and the second was from today's 13 00:00:44,630 --> 00:00:42,000 guest Vincent Tolman who joined me to 14 00:00:47,209 --> 00:00:44,640 talk about his remarkable near-death 15 00:00:48,590 --> 00:00:47,219 experience and what he learned as a 16 00:00:50,209 --> 00:00:48,600 result of it 17 00:00:52,250 --> 00:00:50,219 stick around you'll see that I pushed 18 00:00:54,709 --> 00:00:52,260 Vinnie a little bit but he is more than 19 00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:54,719 up for it and I really appreciate what 20 00:00:59,150 --> 00:00:57,120 he's bringing here 21 00:01:01,250 --> 00:00:59,160 welcome to skeptico where we explore 22 00:01:03,830 --> 00:01:01,260 controversial science and spirituality 23 00:01:07,370 --> 00:01:03,840 I'm joined today by Vinnie Tallman the 24 00:01:10,490 --> 00:01:07,380 author of the light after death which 25 00:01:12,770 --> 00:01:10,500 let me get this is the stunning true 26 00:01:14,929 --> 00:01:12,780 story of Vincent's experience on the 27 00:01:16,969 --> 00:01:14,939 other side of death and the ten 28 00:01:19,789 --> 00:01:16,979 principles he was taught while traveling 29 00:01:22,670 --> 00:01:19,799 to heaven and what he saw when he 30 00:01:25,130 --> 00:01:22,680 arrived Vinnie welcome thanks for 31 00:01:27,230 --> 00:01:25,140 joining me yeah thanks so much Alex I'm 32 00:01:28,190 --> 00:01:27,240 really happy to be here happy to be a 33 00:01:30,770 --> 00:01:28,200 part of this 34 00:01:34,070 --> 00:01:30,780 great well you know I am too because we 35 00:01:36,770 --> 00:01:34,080 had this rather extensive email exchange 36 00:01:40,069 --> 00:01:36,780 you know I kind of uh no it was really 37 00:01:41,569 --> 00:01:40,079 great very open and I really appreciate 38 00:01:43,609 --> 00:01:41,579 that you know I kind of told you 39 00:01:45,770 --> 00:01:43,619 initially I didn't think this was the 40 00:01:47,569 --> 00:01:45,780 right fit because 41 00:01:49,670 --> 00:01:47,579 I've been doing this for a long time and 42 00:01:54,050 --> 00:01:49,680 I don't really do the near-death 43 00:01:56,149 --> 00:01:54,060 experience story kind of interviews you 44 00:01:57,649 --> 00:01:56,159 know because I'm more interested in the 45 00:02:00,590 --> 00:01:57,659 science I'm more interested in the 46 00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:00,600 research I'm more interested in how it 47 00:02:03,950 --> 00:02:02,399 overlaps with other things in 48 00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:03,960 understanding this extended 49 00:02:08,570 --> 00:02:05,520 Consciousness but you're like I'm down 50 00:02:10,669 --> 00:02:08,580 with all that yeah I'm I'm I come from 51 00:02:14,150 --> 00:02:10,679 that mindset and I've always been kind 52 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,160 of the skeptic myself uh prior to my 53 00:02:18,589 --> 00:02:16,560 experience I always was I was a bit 54 00:02:21,710 --> 00:02:18,599 skeptical of all these experiences and 55 00:02:23,050 --> 00:02:21,720 of course I I got converted over with my 56 00:02:26,630 --> 00:02:23,060 experience 57 00:02:30,470 --> 00:02:26,640 that'll do it that'll do it yeah for 58 00:02:33,170 --> 00:02:30,480 sure well I I you know I'm not I found 59 00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:33,180 myself in this whole thing for the last 60 00:02:40,190 --> 00:02:37,680 15 years not being as skeptical per se I 61 00:02:42,410 --> 00:02:40,200 didn't come into it being skeptical just 62 00:02:45,050 --> 00:02:42,420 in I came into it as kind of a 63 00:02:47,330 --> 00:02:45,060 scientific kind of perspective and I 64 00:02:50,089 --> 00:02:47,340 guess like I'm gonna super put you on 65 00:02:52,130 --> 00:02:50,099 the spot right off the beginning because 66 00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:52,140 way back in the day when I used to do 67 00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:54,060 these you know like uh the first one I 68 00:02:59,690 --> 00:02:57,360 think I did was with Dr Evan Alexander 69 00:03:02,750 --> 00:02:59,700 remember him proof of heaven yeah 70 00:03:04,910 --> 00:03:02,760 absolutely very very important important 71 00:03:08,210 --> 00:03:04,920 book that really broke this thing wide 72 00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:08,220 open in 2012 had them on the show I mean 73 00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:10,800 you remember what that guy had to go 74 00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:12,959 through in terms of quote-unquote 75 00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:15,840 proving what he said was true you know 76 00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:18,239 here's the name of my doctor here's the 77 00:03:23,149 --> 00:03:21,000 name of my caregiver here's the name of 78 00:03:24,190 --> 00:03:23,159 the person who saw me here this whole 79 00:03:28,970 --> 00:03:24,200 thing 80 00:03:31,790 --> 00:03:28,980 I did want to see more of that in your 81 00:03:34,190 --> 00:03:31,800 account I mean what's the name of the 82 00:03:36,410 --> 00:03:34,200 paramedic who cut you out of the body 83 00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:36,420 bag what are the other paramedics who 84 00:03:41,089 --> 00:03:38,040 are the nurses that saw you jump off the 85 00:03:43,369 --> 00:03:41,099 gurney and go running for the elevator 86 00:03:45,890 --> 00:03:43,379 who was your physician that said your 87 00:03:48,289 --> 00:03:45,900 cure was a miracle what's the name the 88 00:03:49,970 --> 00:03:48,299 psychiatrist that said get the [\h__\h] out 89 00:03:53,630 --> 00:03:49,980 of here which I thought was a great 90 00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:53,640 story I mean just in kind of an Evan 91 00:03:58,190 --> 00:03:55,560 Alexander Way 92 00:04:00,110 --> 00:03:58,200 have you provided all that stuff I I 93 00:04:01,369 --> 00:04:00,120 look for it I didn't find it 94 00:04:03,890 --> 00:04:01,379 so 95 00:04:06,050 --> 00:04:03,900 um essentially the the ambulance record 96 00:04:10,009 --> 00:04:06,060 is public the hospital records all 97 00:04:13,070 --> 00:04:10,019 public and and of course the through 98 00:04:15,589 --> 00:04:13,080 medical records search you can get the 99 00:04:18,409 --> 00:04:15,599 everything literally everything but yeah 100 00:04:20,090 --> 00:04:18,419 so when I first started this journey and 101 00:04:22,670 --> 00:04:20,100 I was even sharing the initial 102 00:04:25,969 --> 00:04:22,680 experience with people I used to carry 103 00:04:28,249 --> 00:04:25,979 this little folder and it had the folder 104 00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:28,259 had the medical bill the ambulance bill 105 00:04:34,850 --> 00:04:31,199 and the details on each one and that was 106 00:04:37,070 --> 00:04:34,860 irrefutable and and what I noticed is I 107 00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:37,080 showed it for maybe three or four times 108 00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:39,840 and after that I stopped needing to show 109 00:04:45,530 --> 00:04:42,840 it anywhere just people kind of accepted 110 00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:45,540 it and and I think I'm giving credit to 111 00:04:50,030 --> 00:04:48,360 Dr Raymond Moody for that he really kind 112 00:04:53,870 --> 00:04:50,040 of opened this space up with his 113 00:04:56,210 --> 00:04:53,880 experience and then uh Evan Alexander's 114 00:04:58,610 --> 00:04:56,220 experience really helped substantiate it 115 00:05:01,129 --> 00:04:58,620 even further to have both of these 116 00:05:04,930 --> 00:05:01,139 highly respected doctors having their 117 00:05:08,990 --> 00:05:04,940 experiences substantiated with their own 118 00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:09,000 proving methods it really helped kind of 119 00:05:13,249 --> 00:05:11,520 the industry to realize that hey 120 00:05:17,270 --> 00:05:13,259 somebody can have a near-death 121 00:05:20,629 --> 00:05:17,280 experience it's not all quackery now I 122 00:05:23,210 --> 00:05:20,639 did meet someone once that said they had 123 00:05:26,930 --> 00:05:23,220 an out of Body Experience on a drug they 124 00:05:28,909 --> 00:05:26,940 tried I don't I don't necessarily go at 125 00:05:30,409 --> 00:05:28,919 one of those experiences the same as I 126 00:05:33,110 --> 00:05:30,419 would 127 00:05:36,110 --> 00:05:33,120 somebody who has actually died and been 128 00:05:38,090 --> 00:05:36,120 resuscitated or almost died or flatlined 129 00:05:39,890 --> 00:05:38,100 for a few minutes to me those are the 130 00:05:42,469 --> 00:05:39,900 ones where we're going to get the kind 131 00:05:44,029 --> 00:05:42,479 of the golden nuggets the nuggets and 132 00:05:45,650 --> 00:05:44,039 and the synchronicities where you're 133 00:05:48,110 --> 00:05:45,660 seeing the same things coming through 134 00:05:51,409 --> 00:05:48,120 all these different experiences so many 135 00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:51,419 so many times I I get on a podcast I get 136 00:05:55,550 --> 00:05:53,580 on an interview and I the follow-up is 137 00:05:58,909 --> 00:05:55,560 people reaching out saying that's just 138 00:06:00,409 --> 00:05:58,919 like my experience I had one too and uh 139 00:06:02,990 --> 00:06:00,419 and to me that's where the proof is 140 00:06:05,930 --> 00:06:03,000 there's there's a consistent 141 00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:05,940 almost modality happening to people 142 00:06:11,029 --> 00:06:08,639 in their experience there's consistent 143 00:06:12,890 --> 00:06:11,039 things you're seeing on on all of these 144 00:06:15,830 --> 00:06:12,900 now is it the exact same experience 145 00:06:18,050 --> 00:06:15,840 every time no not at all but yet you're 146 00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:18,060 seeing these same things come up in all 147 00:06:22,189 --> 00:06:19,680 of the experiences 148 00:06:24,409 --> 00:06:22,199 and it's it's pretty interesting very 149 00:06:26,050 --> 00:06:24,419 very interesting well let's take a 150 00:06:28,309 --> 00:06:26,060 minute since we're just kind of freeform 151 00:06:30,830 --> 00:06:28,319 dialoguing here and we'll drill into 152 00:06:34,550 --> 00:06:30,840 that a little bit further like I think 153 00:06:36,110 --> 00:06:34,560 there's two different means of proof if 154 00:06:38,809 --> 00:06:36,120 you look at the history of the 155 00:06:40,610 --> 00:06:38,819 near-death experience like Raymond Moody 156 00:06:44,090 --> 00:06:40,620 like you're saying you know back in what 157 00:06:46,490 --> 00:06:44,100 70s you know and 70s yeah and actually 158 00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:46,500 you know what's funny is he really wrote 159 00:06:50,570 --> 00:06:48,720 that book because uh Elizabeth 160 00:06:52,850 --> 00:06:50,580 Kubler-Ross 161 00:06:55,070 --> 00:06:52,860 was really she had found all that 162 00:06:56,809 --> 00:06:55,080 information by going to hospice because 163 00:06:59,749 --> 00:06:56,819 when you go to hospice and you see 164 00:07:02,150 --> 00:06:59,759 people dying she had all that stuff but 165 00:07:04,909 --> 00:07:02,160 she was like I have too much on I played 166 00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:04,919 as it is and she kind of gifted it all 167 00:07:11,870 --> 00:07:07,759 to Moody and he took it which is awesome 168 00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:11,880 but back in the day right they were like 169 00:07:15,230 --> 00:07:13,800 there's all these near-death experiences 170 00:07:17,090 --> 00:07:15,240 and then there was all this pushback 171 00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,100 because like no that can't possibly 172 00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:19,680 happen because the whole idea is counter 173 00:07:25,370 --> 00:07:22,560 to science as we know it science as we 174 00:07:28,070 --> 00:07:25,380 know it denies the existence still to 175 00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:28,080 this day of Consciousness right so 176 00:07:33,290 --> 00:07:30,660 Neuroscience is still hung up in this 177 00:07:35,390 --> 00:07:33,300 idea that you are your brain and nothing 178 00:07:37,909 --> 00:07:35,400 more so even though you get to talk and 179 00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:37,919 tell your story and Evelyn Alexander and 180 00:07:42,050 --> 00:07:39,599 dozens of other people who've written 181 00:07:44,089 --> 00:07:42,060 books and Jeff long has the near-death 182 00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:44,099 experience Research Foundation with 183 00:07:47,629 --> 00:07:46,080 thousands of accounts and we've had them 184 00:07:49,730 --> 00:07:47,639 on the show multiple times he's 185 00:07:53,029 --> 00:07:49,740 extremely credible extremely believable 186 00:07:55,189 --> 00:07:53,039 even though all that stuff has happened 187 00:07:58,370 --> 00:07:55,199 we sometimes lose sight effect that this 188 00:08:00,650 --> 00:07:58,380 grows counter to science as we know it 189 00:08:02,210 --> 00:08:00,660 but I'm kind of losing the point and I 190 00:08:05,689 --> 00:08:02,220 want to bring it back to this 191 00:08:09,469 --> 00:08:05,699 the whole shift to looking at this stuff 192 00:08:11,629 --> 00:08:09,479 medically was a reaction to the Skeptics 193 00:08:14,450 --> 00:08:11,639 saying you can't just take somebody's 194 00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:14,460 account you know and do it and then they 195 00:08:18,770 --> 00:08:16,319 proved it medically they said okay let's 196 00:08:20,869 --> 00:08:18,780 take a somebody after resuscitation and 197 00:08:23,749 --> 00:08:20,879 let's interview him before resuscitation 198 00:08:25,610 --> 00:08:23,759 after let's review let's look at two 199 00:08:27,650 --> 00:08:25,620 groups let's look at a group that had a 200 00:08:29,450 --> 00:08:27,660 near-death experience and one that 201 00:08:31,369 --> 00:08:29,460 didn't and both had cardiac arrest and 202 00:08:32,930 --> 00:08:31,379 we see oh the group that had the 203 00:08:35,570 --> 00:08:32,940 near-death experience they're able to 204 00:08:38,029 --> 00:08:35,580 completely recall their resuscitation 205 00:08:40,250 --> 00:08:38,039 and the other group isn't and these are 206 00:08:43,730 --> 00:08:40,260 done published in peer-reviewed journals 207 00:08:45,010 --> 00:08:43,740 and give us who are scientifically 208 00:08:48,110 --> 00:08:45,020 minded 209 00:08:50,630 --> 00:08:48,120 overwhelming evidence highly suggestive 210 00:08:52,250 --> 00:08:50,640 that this is real that Consciousness 211 00:08:55,190 --> 00:08:52,260 survives death 212 00:08:56,389 --> 00:08:55,200 but and I'm gonna push on this one more 213 00:08:59,870 --> 00:08:56,399 time 214 00:09:02,449 --> 00:08:59,880 what we don't have Vinnie is we don't 215 00:09:03,650 --> 00:09:02,459 know what to do with the individual 216 00:09:05,389 --> 00:09:03,660 accounts 217 00:09:07,190 --> 00:09:05,399 we don't know what to do with the guy 218 00:09:10,190 --> 00:09:07,200 who I told you who I interviewed Ian 219 00:09:11,750 --> 00:09:10,200 McCormick who said I saw Jesus which 220 00:09:13,490 --> 00:09:11,760 there's nothing wrong I've interviewed a 221 00:09:15,769 --> 00:09:13,500 couple of people uh David ditchfield 222 00:09:18,050 --> 00:09:15,779 another wrote a tremendous book and very 223 00:09:19,190 --> 00:09:18,060 impressive near-death experience he saw 224 00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:19,200 Jesus 225 00:09:26,449 --> 00:09:23,519 and the majority of people certainly 226 00:09:28,370 --> 00:09:26,459 don't say like Ian McCormick does that 227 00:09:30,230 --> 00:09:28,380 unless you see Jesus 228 00:09:31,310 --> 00:09:30,240 you didn't have a genuine near-death 229 00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:31,320 experience 230 00:09:37,070 --> 00:09:34,320 so my point is what we're looking for 231 00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:37,080 for individual accounts 232 00:09:41,570 --> 00:09:39,360 is different than what we're looking for 233 00:09:43,850 --> 00:09:41,580 for the overall science that's why I 234 00:09:47,150 --> 00:09:43,860 want to know what's the name of that 235 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:47,160 psychiatrist who said get the [\h__\h] out 236 00:09:52,910 --> 00:09:50,640 of my face yeah you know did you publish 237 00:09:54,949 --> 00:09:52,920 that any did you publish the name of the 238 00:09:56,329 --> 00:09:54,959 guy who cut you out of the body bag I 239 00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:56,339 understand that you walked around with 240 00:10:00,889 --> 00:09:58,560 the folder and had it did you publish 241 00:10:03,410 --> 00:10:00,899 that anywhere no no I didn't publish 242 00:10:05,389 --> 00:10:03,420 that no in fact uh to I would have to 243 00:10:07,490 --> 00:10:05,399 get their written Express approval to 244 00:10:09,889 --> 00:10:07,500 publish their name in any of my stuff 245 00:10:11,329 --> 00:10:09,899 which we we started to go down that path 246 00:10:13,730 --> 00:10:11,339 and it was so hard to track everybody 247 00:10:15,710 --> 00:10:13,740 down everybody had gone in so many 248 00:10:18,350 --> 00:10:15,720 different places since then just the 249 00:10:20,810 --> 00:10:18,360 medic who who ended up pulling me out of 250 00:10:24,170 --> 00:10:20,820 that bag he's a fireman now and and 251 00:10:25,790 --> 00:10:24,180 still a medic but but a fireman and and 252 00:10:27,889 --> 00:10:25,800 in fact he ended up making that switch 253 00:10:30,650 --> 00:10:27,899 right after the fact right after he got 254 00:10:33,290 --> 00:10:30,660 got in a bit of trouble with what he did 255 00:10:34,970 --> 00:10:33,300 for me yeah and and here's the thing 256 00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:34,980 with all of this 257 00:10:39,170 --> 00:10:37,680 is people people want to go and take all 258 00:10:40,850 --> 00:10:39,180 of these experiences and say let's poke 259 00:10:42,949 --> 00:10:40,860 holes in this let's poke holes in that 260 00:10:44,690 --> 00:10:42,959 to me I'm not taking my experience and 261 00:10:46,250 --> 00:10:44,700 saying this is an experience for 262 00:10:47,930 --> 00:10:46,260 everybody they've got to follow this 263 00:10:51,530 --> 00:10:47,940 it's going to change your life I've 264 00:10:54,530 --> 00:10:51,540 never ever been one to say that to me I 265 00:10:56,569 --> 00:10:54,540 I have felt prompted personally to share 266 00:10:58,009 --> 00:10:56,579 the experience with people before and 267 00:10:59,810 --> 00:10:58,019 those people have come back to me and 268 00:11:01,670 --> 00:10:59,820 said thank you for sharing it to me and 269 00:11:03,590 --> 00:11:01,680 that's what it's all about to me but 270 00:11:06,670 --> 00:11:03,600 what I really love is if you get into 271 00:11:09,650 --> 00:11:06,680 modern day physics 272 00:11:12,949 --> 00:11:09,660 physics is proving quantum entanglement 273 00:11:14,870 --> 00:11:12,959 it's proving that the Consciousness is 274 00:11:16,670 --> 00:11:14,880 much larger than what we could have ever 275 00:11:20,090 --> 00:11:16,680 comprehended before 276 00:11:23,690 --> 00:11:20,100 there's a study of a gentleman that was 277 00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:23,700 was reacting to World War II scenes and 278 00:11:28,910 --> 00:11:26,160 they were at any time he saw anything to 279 00:11:31,310 --> 00:11:28,920 do with World War II his his blood would 280 00:11:33,410 --> 00:11:31,320 start reacting into this certain way and 281 00:11:36,050 --> 00:11:33,420 then there's a a really good public 282 00:11:39,889 --> 00:11:36,060 study on this where they took vials of 283 00:11:43,610 --> 00:11:39,899 his blood drove it 70 miles away 284 00:11:46,310 --> 00:11:43,620 and had him over here 70 miles away look 285 00:11:48,650 --> 00:11:46,320 at images of World War II and his 286 00:11:51,470 --> 00:11:48,660 cellular structure reacted the exact 287 00:11:54,590 --> 00:11:51,480 same way in the ampule or the vial of 288 00:11:58,370 --> 00:11:54,600 blood 70 miles away as it did local 289 00:12:00,530 --> 00:11:58,380 right where he was that that it's 290 00:12:02,750 --> 00:12:00,540 through that study and through many many 291 00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:02,760 studies since they have been able to 292 00:12:08,449 --> 00:12:06,240 glean and and understand that our 293 00:12:11,870 --> 00:12:08,459 entanglement to each other is is 294 00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:11,880 extremely finite and 295 00:12:16,009 --> 00:12:14,399 at the quantum level and Quantum 296 00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:16,019 physicists themselves are proving 297 00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:19,260 Consciousness now it has neurology uh 298 00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:22,320 caught on not yet neurology still fights 299 00:12:26,090 --> 00:12:24,480 it neurology wants to say there's no 300 00:12:28,370 --> 00:12:26,100 such thing as Consciousness there's only 301 00:12:30,590 --> 00:12:28,380 electricity in the brain and once that 302 00:12:33,230 --> 00:12:30,600 electricity goes out it's out but 303 00:12:35,930 --> 00:12:33,240 neurology can't explain people like 304 00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:35,940 myself I met a gentleman he was working 305 00:12:40,750 --> 00:12:38,160 for me I was in construction this is in 306 00:12:43,670 --> 00:12:40,760 Wyoming he worked for me for one week 307 00:12:45,769 --> 00:12:43,680 and I told him about my experience and 308 00:12:48,889 --> 00:12:45,779 he goes oh I was woken up out of a 309 00:12:50,930 --> 00:12:48,899 morgue and and legitimately woke up 310 00:12:54,470 --> 00:12:50,940 while they were performing an autopsy on 311 00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:54,480 him he woke up and uh you know there's a 312 00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:56,639 lot of experiences now are they are they 313 00:13:00,949 --> 00:12:58,320 the norm no 314 00:13:03,949 --> 00:13:00,959 but they you do see them substantially 315 00:13:06,110 --> 00:13:03,959 everywhere every culture every belief 316 00:13:08,329 --> 00:13:06,120 system every religion and what's funny 317 00:13:09,769 --> 00:13:08,339 is you do get one or two of these 318 00:13:12,470 --> 00:13:09,779 experiences in all the different 319 00:13:14,810 --> 00:13:12,480 cultures saying oh you must you have to 320 00:13:16,490 --> 00:13:14,820 see Muhammad if you want to if you want 321 00:13:18,170 --> 00:13:16,500 to get to heaven you have to see Jesus 322 00:13:19,910 --> 00:13:18,180 if you want to get to heaven you have to 323 00:13:22,430 --> 00:13:19,920 see Buddha if you want to get to heaven 324 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:22,440 it's it's and that's the thing is all of 325 00:13:26,750 --> 00:13:24,240 these experiences are plugged into a 326 00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:26,760 system that's already there 327 00:13:32,090 --> 00:13:29,519 that was there long before us here 328 00:13:34,970 --> 00:13:32,100 and it's our perception of that system 329 00:13:37,129 --> 00:13:34,980 that we're we're we're bringing back 330 00:13:40,129 --> 00:13:37,139 with us and that's really what it is 331 00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:40,139 it's it's a system and of uh that has 332 00:13:46,610 --> 00:13:42,800 long been in place and and part of the 333 00:13:47,509 --> 00:13:46,620 progress for all of us really and 334 00:13:49,550 --> 00:13:47,519 um 335 00:13:51,470 --> 00:13:49,560 that I got to to peek a little bit 336 00:13:55,030 --> 00:13:51,480 behind the curtain I feel 337 00:13:58,129 --> 00:13:55,040 and and I did have a very 338 00:13:59,269 --> 00:13:58,139 distinct recollection of of my 339 00:14:01,730 --> 00:13:59,279 experience 340 00:14:03,350 --> 00:14:01,740 and even I wanted to see if maybe there 341 00:14:04,550 --> 00:14:03,360 was something I had forgotten about it 342 00:14:07,310 --> 00:14:04,560 the experience so I've gone under 343 00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:07,320 hypnosis a couple of times now to see if 344 00:14:11,210 --> 00:14:09,120 there was anything extra 345 00:14:13,069 --> 00:14:11,220 and and there wasn't there wasn't 346 00:14:14,449 --> 00:14:13,079 anything that I could perceive further 347 00:14:17,750 --> 00:14:14,459 than what I already knew from my 348 00:14:21,290 --> 00:14:17,760 experience so so to me I feel good and 349 00:14:23,930 --> 00:14:21,300 saying I I remember my experience to a t 350 00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:23,940 to a very distinct description I 351 00:14:28,490 --> 00:14:26,160 remember my experience and you know over 352 00:14:29,930 --> 00:14:28,500 the 20 years it's been since I had my 353 00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:29,940 experience 354 00:14:35,329 --> 00:14:32,160 the details haven't faded they haven't 355 00:14:37,069 --> 00:14:35,339 changed the descriptions haven't changed 356 00:14:39,410 --> 00:14:37,079 it's been the same experience that I've 357 00:14:41,329 --> 00:14:39,420 been sharing with people I even had a 358 00:14:43,670 --> 00:14:41,339 gentleman that that heard one of the 359 00:14:47,210 --> 00:14:43,680 first versions that I had I had shared 360 00:14:49,550 --> 00:14:47,220 with people and and he heard that the 361 00:14:51,650 --> 00:14:49,560 actual audiobook and he loved it he 362 00:14:54,050 --> 00:14:51,660 loved how all it did was give more 363 00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:54,060 detail essentially to him than what he 364 00:14:57,590 --> 00:14:55,680 had heard the first time but it was the 365 00:15:00,050 --> 00:14:57,600 exact same experience he had heard the 366 00:15:03,889 --> 00:15:00,060 first time when this was back in 2004 367 00:15:05,629 --> 00:15:03,899 when I first met him so yeah it is a 368 00:15:07,610 --> 00:15:05,639 beautiful system that we're existing in 369 00:15:11,750 --> 00:15:07,620 here and that's the universe it really 370 00:15:13,850 --> 00:15:11,760 is and quantum physics is tipping into 371 00:15:16,069 --> 00:15:13,860 it they're getting into that quantum 372 00:15:19,129 --> 00:15:16,079 entanglement improving it and 373 00:15:23,210 --> 00:15:19,139 mathematically as well as through their 374 00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:23,220 their double-blind strategies and the 375 00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:25,199 double-blind studying that they're doing 376 00:15:29,210 --> 00:15:26,720 with different 377 00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:29,220 experiments on proving that our 378 00:15:34,129 --> 00:15:31,440 Consciousness can and change matter 379 00:15:35,870 --> 00:15:34,139 and so thus the Consciousness is larger 380 00:15:37,490 --> 00:15:35,880 than the physical matter it's that's 381 00:15:40,009 --> 00:15:37,500 controlling 382 00:15:41,870 --> 00:15:40,019 yeah right yeah I'm I'm down with all 383 00:15:44,329 --> 00:15:41,880 that the one of the things I think is 384 00:15:46,490 --> 00:15:44,339 terrific about the near-death experience 385 00:15:49,910 --> 00:15:46,500 science is it kind of jumps way past 386 00:15:51,829 --> 00:15:49,920 that because people get mired in the you 387 00:15:55,009 --> 00:15:51,839 know quantum entanglement observer 388 00:15:57,110 --> 00:15:55,019 effect uh you know akashic records uh 389 00:15:59,090 --> 00:15:57,120 all you can go a number of different 390 00:16:01,870 --> 00:15:59,100 ways but in particular with quantum 391 00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:01,880 physics you can a lot of people will 392 00:16:06,769 --> 00:16:04,560 acknowledge entanglement or observer 393 00:16:09,350 --> 00:16:06,779 effect and then we'll find another 394 00:16:12,170 --> 00:16:09,360 explanation for this what we really want 395 00:16:14,269 --> 00:16:12,180 to know is does Consciousness survive 396 00:16:16,910 --> 00:16:14,279 bodily death and that's the importance 397 00:16:18,829 --> 00:16:16,920 of the near-death experience science is 398 00:16:21,650 --> 00:16:18,839 that it directly addresses that and the 399 00:16:23,810 --> 00:16:21,660 answer is resoundingly the evidence is 400 00:16:24,949 --> 00:16:23,820 just highly suggestive and anyone who 401 00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:24,959 wants to 402 00:16:30,050 --> 00:16:27,120 kind of push against that evidence the 403 00:16:31,550 --> 00:16:30,060 burden of proof is on them but it does 404 00:16:33,470 --> 00:16:31,560 come back to your account because the 405 00:16:36,710 --> 00:16:33,480 the account that you lay out in the 406 00:16:40,069

to that fantastic that's yeah that 465 00:19:05,930 --> 00:19:04,620 means a lot and that you don't have to 466 00:19:08,210 --> 00:19:05,940 bug them you know you can leave other 467 00:19:10,669 --> 00:19:08,220 people to go and do that yeah people are 468 00:19:14,150 --> 00:19:10,679 a lot that's that is the positive side 469 00:19:16,310 --> 00:19:14,160 of what we are experiencing now with 470 00:19:18,350 --> 00:19:16,320 you know the censorship versus freedom 471 00:19:20,990 --> 00:19:18,360 of speech kind of thing is like 472 00:19:22,130 --> 00:19:21,000 put it out there and let people let 473 00:19:24,890 --> 00:19:22,140 people go 474 00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:24,900 so okay so if if you're gonna if you're 475 00:19:28,850 --> 00:19:26,760 willing to do that that's that's a huge 476 00:19:32,510 --> 00:19:28,860 hurdle and I have a ton of respect for 477 00:19:38,090 --> 00:19:32,520 you for doing that let me ask you this 478 00:19:40,669 --> 00:19:38,100 in the book you lay out 10 lessons uh 479 00:19:42,890 --> 00:19:40,679 that you that you took back and I think 480 00:19:45,409 --> 00:19:42,900 there are in so many ways they're 481 00:19:47,570 --> 00:19:45,419 awesome they're where I live on a soul 482 00:19:49,010 --> 00:19:47,580 level on a spiritual level even though 483 00:19:51,230 --> 00:19:49,020 I've never had a near-death experience 484 00:19:53,630 --> 00:19:51,240 I've gained so much from talking to 485 00:19:55,130 --> 00:19:53,640 people like yourself who have and then 486 00:19:57,409 --> 00:19:55,140 it resonates with other teachers I've 487 00:19:59,990 --> 00:19:57,419 had and I go that feels true and I can 488 00:20:01,909 --> 00:20:00,000 go in that direction were you what was 489 00:20:03,230 --> 00:20:01,919 that process like because a lot of 490 00:20:05,210 --> 00:20:03,240 people and I said this in the email 491 00:20:07,850 --> 00:20:05,220 exchange have 492 00:20:09,650 --> 00:20:07,860 weird after effects after the near-death 493 00:20:12,049 --> 00:20:09,660 experience you know it does it isn't 494 00:20:14,029 --> 00:20:12,059 easy for everybody after they come back 495 00:20:17,210 --> 00:20:14,039 from a near-death experience 496 00:20:18,950 --> 00:20:17,220 it is it's not easy in fact uh to me 497 00:20:21,470 --> 00:20:18,960 that's the hardest part of the whole 498 00:20:23,510 --> 00:20:21,480 thing the easiest part is dying honestly 499 00:20:25,370 --> 00:20:23,520 that's the easy part you you just free 500 00:20:27,830 --> 00:20:25,380 flow into that the hard part is coming 501 00:20:30,350 --> 00:20:27,840 back and trying to pick up where you 502 00:20:33,169 --> 00:20:30,360 left off on your life because now you're 503 00:20:35,510 --> 00:20:33,179 a completely different person after the 504 00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:35,520 event than you were before the event so 505 00:20:40,190 --> 00:20:37,980 you're you're almost redefining who you 506 00:20:41,990 --> 00:20:40,200 are at that point but you know it was 507 00:20:44,450 --> 00:20:42,000 weird I didn't even realize there was 10 508 00:20:46,970 --> 00:20:44,460 principles there I'd been sharing the 509 00:20:50,390 --> 00:20:46,980 the experience and the way I would share 510 00:20:52,130 --> 00:20:50,400 it I just I I would I almost like a 511 00:20:54,110 --> 00:20:52,140 speech I just have this way of of 512 00:20:55,850 --> 00:20:54,120 sharing my experience and I I just 513 00:20:59,150 --> 00:20:55,860 always shared it that way it's just how 514 00:21:00,890 --> 00:20:59,160 how I perceived it right and uh it was 515 00:21:02,870 --> 00:21:00,900 in the process of actually writing down 516 00:21:05,210 --> 00:21:02,880 the experience that Lynn Taylor my 517 00:21:07,970 --> 00:21:05,220 writer uh that I worked together with 518 00:21:10,130 --> 00:21:07,980 him as we were writing it all down he's 519 00:21:12,830 --> 00:21:10,140 like he said you know Vinnie there's a 520 00:21:14,570 --> 00:21:12,840 distinct 10 principles here if if you 521 00:21:16,970 --> 00:21:14,580 want to look there's 10 distinct things 522 00:21:18,289 --> 00:21:16,980 you're teaching with your experience and 523 00:21:20,390 --> 00:21:18,299 so until that point I didn't even 524 00:21:23,270 --> 00:21:20,400 realize there was 10 principles but but 525 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:23,280 definitely it's very very obvious uh 526 00:21:27,169 --> 00:21:24,960 when you when you hear the experience 527 00:21:28,850 --> 00:21:27,179 now even here are some of the the 528 00:21:30,350 --> 00:21:28,860 recording there's a lot of people that 529 00:21:34,490 --> 00:21:30,360 have recorded me sharing this experience 530 00:21:36,529 --> 00:21:34,500 over you know 15 17 almost 18 years I've 531 00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:36,539 been sharing it publicly in large forums 532 00:21:41,810 --> 00:21:38,760 and uh so there's a lot of early 533 00:21:43,610 --> 00:21:41,820 recordings and you get to these early 534 00:21:45,890 --> 00:21:43,620 recordings and it's still giving those 535 00:21:47,690 --> 00:21:45,900 same 10 principles just sometimes two of 536 00:21:49,490 --> 00:21:47,700 them squished together 537 00:21:52,190 --> 00:21:49,500 um but it's it's pretty amazing that 538 00:21:54,409 --> 00:21:52,200 that that framework is there from the 539 00:21:56,930 --> 00:21:54,419 experience that I had but here's what I 540 00:21:59,210 --> 00:21:56,940 say to all the people that have had 541 00:22:01,549 --> 00:21:59,220 you know some people have these hell 542 00:22:04,730 --> 00:22:01,559 experiences some people have the heaven 543 00:22:07,370 --> 00:22:04,740 experience to me it depends on where 544 00:22:10,370 --> 00:22:07,380 they were revived because if I was 545 00:22:14,630 --> 00:22:10,380 revived right after I died I went into 546 00:22:17,810 --> 00:22:14,640 this kind of downward spiral where 547 00:22:20,270 --> 00:22:17,820 I was feeling and perceiving all the 548 00:22:22,010 --> 00:22:20,280 negative influences I'd ever been on 549 00:22:23,990 --> 00:22:22,020 other people in my life 550 00:22:26,750 --> 00:22:24,000 so kind of all the bad things I'd ever 551 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:26,760 done and if I got stuck there and then I 552 00:22:32,330 --> 00:22:29,520 was revived out of that position I would 553 00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:32,340 definitely think I went to help 554 00:22:36,590 --> 00:22:34,320 because that's what it felt like for the 555 00:22:39,289 --> 00:22:36,600 few seconds that or the few moments that 556 00:22:41,270 --> 00:22:39,299 I was in that period of reflecting on 557 00:22:43,730 --> 00:22:41,280 the negative things I'd ever done in my 558 00:22:46,970 --> 00:22:43,740 life to me that that was that would be 559 00:22:49,370 --> 00:22:46,980 like hell and uh thank goodness I didn't 560 00:22:51,890 --> 00:22:49,380 I just shortly right after I experienced 561 00:22:54,529 --> 00:22:51,900 that I felt the warmth and love of 562 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:54,539 something from behind me and I and I 563 00:22:59,570 --> 00:22:57,120 started embracing this energy that 564 00:23:01,970 --> 00:22:59,580 showed me all the good that I'd ever 565 00:23:03,649 --> 00:23:01,980 done and and how much more good I'd ever 566 00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:03,659 done than anything bad 567 00:23:06,710 --> 00:23:05,760 and that's when and if I had stopped 568 00:23:09,950 --> 00:23:06,720 right there 569 00:23:11,750 --> 00:23:09,960 I would have just that that perspective 570 00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:11,760 through the whole experience I wouldn't 571 00:23:17,029 --> 00:23:14,880 have even seen uh my guy Drake 572 00:23:19,130 --> 00:23:17,039 and if I had been brought back right 573 00:23:20,810 --> 00:23:19,140 after I saw my guide before he could 574 00:23:23,210 --> 00:23:20,820 tell me he wasn't God I would have 575 00:23:25,909 --> 00:23:23,220 believed I saw God because he looked 576 00:23:28,730 --> 00:23:25,919 what I thought would be what God looked 577 00:23:31,130 --> 00:23:28,740 like at least what religion's version of 578 00:23:33,350 --> 00:23:31,140 God had taught me that he was probably 579 00:23:36,710 --> 00:23:33,360 going to look like and come to find out 580 00:23:39,409 --> 00:23:36,720 what he wasn't God he was there in God's 581 00:23:41,930 --> 00:23:39,419 loving energy to help get me to guide me 582 00:23:44,930 --> 00:23:41,940 to have my experience so 583 00:23:46,610 --> 00:23:44,940 yeah it's uh it is very weird though you 584 00:23:48,710 --> 00:23:46,620 get a lot of people having very 585 00:23:51,850 --> 00:23:48,720 different experiences but then you have 586 00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:51,860 around like 96 97 587 00:23:59,570 --> 00:23:55,200 of your near-death experiencers 588 00:24:02,149 --> 00:23:59,580 meet some type of angelic type guide 589 00:24:04,370 --> 00:24:02,159 uh or Family Guy someone who's attached 590 00:24:07,490 --> 00:24:04,380 to them through their family line and 591 00:24:09,289 --> 00:24:07,500 that guide tends to lead them in a 592 00:24:11,330 --> 00:24:09,299 direction towards heaven towards this 593 00:24:14,029 --> 00:24:11,340 this this home 594 00:24:16,610 --> 00:24:14,039 that we all essentially came from and 595 00:24:18,169 --> 00:24:16,620 going back to so that's that's kind of 596 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:18,179 interesting and there's some new books 597 00:24:22,010 --> 00:24:19,919 that are that have come out just 598 00:24:25,730 --> 00:24:22,020 recently and are coming out this year 599 00:24:28,310 --> 00:24:25,740 even that are a compilation of all these 600 00:24:30,770 --> 00:24:28,320 near-death studies and how you can 601 00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:30,780 actually tie these all together tie all 602 00:24:34,850 --> 00:24:32,640 these similarities between all these 603 00:24:37,549 --> 00:24:34,860 different near-death experiences and and 604 00:24:39,770 --> 00:24:37,559 it's from that material itself you're 605 00:24:43,610 --> 00:24:39,780 starting to see a science 606 00:24:45,529 --> 00:24:43,620 um an actual science grow up around just 607 00:24:47,690 --> 00:24:45,539 this this collection of all the 608 00:24:49,730 --> 00:24:47,700 near-death experiences because when you 609 00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:49,740 get so many people describing the same 610 00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:52,320 thing just from different point of view 611 00:24:56,270 --> 00:24:54,720 then you know you're you're coming to 612 00:24:57,770 --> 00:24:56,280 something that's real that's happening 613 00:25:01,190 --> 00:24:57,780 for them 614 00:25:05,090 --> 00:25:01,200 well I always felt like Jeff Long who 615 00:25:07,610 --> 00:25:05,100 has 4 000 accounts on his ndeer yes 616 00:25:09,950 --> 00:25:07,620 website yeah Dr Jeff long he's a 617 00:25:12,830 --> 00:25:09,960 radiation oncologist in Louisiana 618 00:25:15,470 --> 00:25:12,840 outside of New Orleans and you know I've 619 00:25:17,450 --> 00:25:15,480 done for years and have told other 620 00:25:18,950 --> 00:25:17,460 people to do the same it's searchable so 621 00:25:20,930 --> 00:25:18,960 it's a searchable database you know 622 00:25:22,310 --> 00:25:20,940 through a search engine you can go 623 00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:22,320 search for whatever you want you can 624 00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:26,159 search for hell devil alien yeah search 625 00:25:31,549 --> 00:25:29,760 for anything light Life review and you 626 00:25:33,590 --> 00:25:31,559 can read your own accounts and they're 627 00:25:35,690 --> 00:25:33,600 inspirational a lot of times they're 628 00:25:37,789 --> 00:25:35,700 incredibly incredibly inspirational but 629 00:25:40,130 --> 00:25:37,799 they're diverse you know they are very 630 00:25:42,289 --> 00:25:40,140 diverse I wouldn't necessarily agree 631 00:25:44,810 --> 00:25:42,299 with your statement about how all this 632 00:25:46,610 --> 00:25:44,820 science is kind of growing together I 633 00:25:49,250 --> 00:25:46,620 think the science 634 00:25:50,830 --> 00:25:49,260 as I stated before I I think that the 635 00:25:53,630 --> 00:25:50,840 science is 636 00:25:55,549 --> 00:25:53,640 bifurcated in a in a good way in that 637 00:25:57,769 --> 00:25:55,559 but people seem to realize that it's two 638 00:25:59,930 --> 00:25:57,779 one is 639 00:26:01,490 --> 00:25:59,940 does Consciousness survive bodily death 640 00:26:03,169 --> 00:26:01,500 and 641 00:26:05,269 --> 00:26:03,179 that needs to be done in a hospital 642 00:26:07,310 --> 00:26:05,279 where we can kind of control the 643 00:26:10,310 --> 00:26:07,320 physiological part of it like I think 644 00:26:13,970 --> 00:26:10,320 the best study on that is Dr Penny 645 00:26:16,669 --> 00:26:13,980 Sartori and also Dr Jan Holden at 646 00:26:19,909 --> 00:26:16,679 University of North Texas 647 00:26:21,230 --> 00:26:19,919 you go into a cardiac arrest Ward and 648 00:26:23,630 --> 00:26:21,240 you say hey bud 649 00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:23,640 you're you might die do I have your 650 00:26:28,909 --> 00:26:25,860 permission to interview you after you if 651 00:26:31,490 --> 00:26:28,919 you have a cardiac arrest okay and then 652 00:26:33,710 --> 00:26:31,500 a super certain group of people 653 00:26:35,330 --> 00:26:33,720 come out afterwards and they have a 654 00:26:37,250 --> 00:26:35,340 cardiac arrest and they died and are 655 00:26:39,890 --> 00:26:37,260 resuscitated and then you have two 656 00:26:41,990 --> 00:26:39,900 groups because some of the people say I 657 00:26:43,669 --> 00:26:42,000 had a near-death experience some of the 658 00:26:45,470 --> 00:26:43,679 people say I didn't have a near-death 659 00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:45,480 experience which is another question 660 00:26:49,850 --> 00:26:48,000 that we have yet to unravel you know is 661 00:26:51,529 --> 00:26:49,860 this a memory thing is it you know we're 662 00:26:53,269 --> 00:26:51,539 calling dream kind of thing why do some 663 00:26:55,310 --> 00:26:53,279 people have them some people don't all 664 00:26:57,590 --> 00:26:55,320 the rest but from a scientific 665 00:26:59,390 --> 00:26:57,600 standpoint you have two groups now you 666 00:27:01,250 --> 00:26:59,400 go ask the group that had their 667 00:27:04,250 --> 00:27:01,260 near-death experience 668 00:27:06,529 --> 00:27:04,260 to recount their resuscitation and 669 00:27:08,029 --> 00:27:06,539 invariably boom boom boom boom boom just 670 00:27:11,029 --> 00:27:08,039 like you in your book the light after 671 00:27:13,430 --> 00:27:11,039 death you are outside your body and as 672 00:27:14,570 --> 00:27:13,440 other people tell it too you don't know 673 00:27:15,890 --> 00:27:14,580 that you're outside of your body you're 674 00:27:17,029 --> 00:27:15,900 looking now look at that poor fool 675 00:27:22,490 --> 00:27:17,039 laying 676 00:27:25,789 --> 00:27:22,500 you know dead that poor guy when people 677 00:27:27,289 --> 00:27:25,799 can recount exactly in detail that's 678 00:27:29,390 --> 00:27:27,299 something we can measure scientifically 679 00:27:30,769 --> 00:27:29,400 the resuscitation and then they go over 680 00:27:33,230 --> 00:27:30,779 to the people who didn't have a 681 00:27:35,149 --> 00:27:33,240 videograph experience and they say 682 00:27:37,070 --> 00:27:35,159 what was your resuscitation like and I 683 00:27:39,289 --> 00:27:37,080 go dude what are you talking about I was 684 00:27:41,630 --> 00:27:39,299 dead I don't remember any of it but to 685 00:27:45,529 --> 00:27:41,640 me that's the science and then the other 686 00:27:48,049 --> 00:27:45,539 is Jeff long with the accounts you with 687 00:27:49,909 --> 00:27:48,059 your account and that's where I think 688 00:27:52,130 --> 00:27:49,919 and that's why I said initially Vinnie 689 00:27:53,870 --> 00:27:52,140 I'm I'm telling you man I don't do these 690 00:27:56,750 --> 00:27:53,880 kind of interviews because 691 00:27:58,370 --> 00:27:56,760 I don't know you know be authentic 692 00:28:00,529 --> 00:27:58,380 understand your purpose in life love 693 00:28:03,409 --> 00:28:00,539 everyone listen to your inner voice and 694 00:28:06,409 --> 00:28:03,419 then use technology responsibly I don't 695 00:28:07,970 --> 00:28:06,419 know what to do with this stuff I got 696 00:28:09,710 --> 00:28:07,980 guys who are coming at me telling me 697 00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:09,720 that if I didn't see Jesus I didn't have 698 00:28:14,210 --> 00:28:12,000 a real nde it's there's so much 699 00:28:17,210 --> 00:28:14,220 diversity in these accounts why would we 700 00:28:20,090 --> 00:28:17,220 say oh you know Vinnie luck of the draw 701 00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:20,100 old Drake man he told it to him exactly 702 00:28:23,570 --> 00:28:22,080 the way that it is when I got other 703 00:28:25,310 --> 00:28:23,580 people saying the other thing you know 704 00:28:26,810 --> 00:28:25,320 we've got that famous Doctor Who came 705 00:28:28,610 --> 00:28:26,820 back and said she was given a choice of 706 00:28:30,049 --> 00:28:28,620 whether she could come back or not but 707 00:28:31,669 --> 00:28:30,059 if she came back her son was going to 708 00:28:34,190 --> 00:28:31,679 die in 10 years 709 00:28:36,950 --> 00:28:34,200 what's how does that work with free will 710 00:28:38,990 --> 00:28:36,960 yeah how does that work along with that 711 00:28:41,510 --> 00:28:39,000 yeah and I think here's something here's 712 00:28:44,210 --> 00:28:41,520 a cool side of things and and there's an 713 00:28:46,430 --> 00:28:44,220 Institute out here in Las Vegas uh 714 00:28:47,570 --> 00:28:46,440 called the Bigelow Institute are you 715 00:28:49,850 --> 00:28:47,580 familiar with the work that they're 716 00:28:52,250 --> 00:28:49,860 doing with near-death studies so they're 717 00:28:54,169 --> 00:28:52,260 they're compiling uh 718 00:28:56,029 --> 00:28:54,179 they essentially have a grant or an 719 00:28:58,730 --> 00:28:56,039 award for anybody who can prove the 720 00:29:01,490 --> 00:28:58,740 Consciousness goes beyond mortality be 721 00:29:04,430 --> 00:29:01,500 Beyond life and one of the methods that 722 00:29:07,070 --> 00:29:04,440 they're working with is doing uh brain 723 00:29:10,730 --> 00:29:07,080 scans to see if there's areas of the 724 00:29:13,130 --> 00:29:10,740 brain that are have action or or 725 00:29:15,710 --> 00:29:13,140 electrical movement electrical usage 726 00:29:18,169 --> 00:29:15,720 that are not necessarily active before 727 00:29:20,029 --> 00:29:18,179 their experience so they're taking a 728 00:29:22,610 --> 00:29:20,039 bunch of non-experiencers scanning them 729 00:29:25,190 --> 00:29:22,620 compared to experiencers and seeing you 730 00:29:26,990 --> 00:29:25,200 know map to map brain to brain are we 731 00:29:29,149 --> 00:29:27,000 seeing areas of the brain that are 732 00:29:31,610 --> 00:29:29,159 having activity now that didn't 733 00:29:33,830 --> 00:29:31,620 necessarily have activity before that's 734 00:29:35,990 --> 00:29:33,840 one of the the methodologies that 735 00:29:37,430 --> 00:29:36,000 they're working but then there there's a 736 00:29:39,590 --> 00:29:37,440 few different experiences that are 737 00:29:41,690 --> 00:29:39,600 experiments that they're doing and I'm 738 00:29:44,210 --> 00:29:41,700 I'm interested to see how all that goes 739 00:29:47,450 --> 00:29:44,220 because I know that this is just you 740 00:29:49,669 --> 00:29:47,460 know science and and religion to me 741 00:29:53,029 --> 00:29:49,679 are two sides of one Bridge 742 00:29:54,769 --> 00:29:53,039 that eventually we're able to fill in in 743 00:29:56,450 --> 00:29:54,779 between and it's through studies like 744 00:29:59,389 --> 00:29:56,460 this it's through understanding the 745 00:30:01,909 --> 00:29:59,399 science of the actual experience what's 746 00:30:03,230 --> 00:30:01,919 going on in the neurology when it turns 747 00:30:05,930 --> 00:30:03,240 off because there's got to be chemical 748 00:30:08,269 --> 00:30:05,940 processes continuing to happen 749 00:30:09,529 --> 00:30:08,279 uh inside that brain even when the 750 00:30:11,330 --> 00:30:09,539 lights are out 751 00:30:13,850 --> 00:30:11,340 and 752 00:30:15,710 --> 00:30:13,860 because to me there's there's no 753 00:30:18,470 --> 00:30:15,720 explanation how I could be dead for an 754 00:30:21,350 --> 00:30:18,480 hour and still be alive I was told I was 755 00:30:24,409 --> 00:30:21,360 my my brother was given a stack of 756 00:30:26,930 --> 00:30:24,419 palliative care pamphlets because all 757 00:30:28,610 --> 00:30:26,940 the doctors had convinced him that I was 758 00:30:31,490 --> 00:30:28,620 never going to come out of this in any 759 00:30:34,010 --> 00:30:31,500 normal way but yet I just woke up I woke 760 00:30:36,950 --> 00:30:34,020 up there was no explanation of how I 761 00:30:40,549 --> 00:30:36,960 could go from from hey shop a good 762 00:30:43,970 --> 00:30:40,559 hospice to take care of your brother 763 00:30:46,610 --> 00:30:43,980 to oh where's your brother he's jogging 764 00:30:49,450 --> 00:30:46,620 that's literally the step of 24 hours 765 00:30:52,850 --> 00:30:49,460 for my brother so so 766 00:30:54,470 --> 00:30:52,860 there's got to be an explanation to that 767 00:30:56,450 --> 00:30:54,480 it's just something we don't fully 768 00:30:57,889 --> 00:30:56,460 understand I think 769 00:31:01,130 --> 00:30:57,899 well I would definitely agree with that 770 00:31:02,470 --> 00:31:01,140 I just what I'm resistant to is see now 771 00:31:05,930 --> 00:31:02,480 I'm going to jump over on the other side 772 00:31:07,669 --> 00:31:05,940 uh God's in charge of this stuff you 773 00:31:10,570 --> 00:31:07,679 know what I mean it's like it doesn't 774 00:31:12,769 --> 00:31:10,580 have to make sense in our puny little 775 00:31:15,350 --> 00:31:12,779 understanding and when guys get into 776 00:31:18,529 --> 00:31:15,360 this you know we'll cellular these cells 777 00:31:20,149 --> 00:31:18,539 must still no the bell all we have from 778 00:31:22,850 --> 00:31:20,159 that says that this should not happen 779 00:31:24,649 --> 00:31:22,860 what the neuros I guess you're 780 00:31:26,690 --> 00:31:24,659 your primary physician or the 781 00:31:28,610 --> 00:31:26,700 neurosurgeon you're a miracle man this 782 00:31:30,529 --> 00:31:28,620 should not happen it defies our 783 00:31:33,230 --> 00:31:30,539 understanding well [\h__\h] we've got a ton 784 00:31:34,490 --> 00:31:33,240 of stuff that defies explanation we 785 00:31:36,769 --> 00:31:34,500 don't need to do the backdoor 786 00:31:39,710 --> 00:31:36,779 materialism and say well one day we'll 787 00:31:41,630 --> 00:31:39,720 we'll explain it I still feel I still 788 00:31:43,970 --> 00:31:41,640 feel there's an explanation even to the 789 00:31:47,470 --> 00:31:43,980 God influence I really do I feel there's 790 00:31:51,230 --> 00:31:47,480 a physics a a scientific 791 00:31:53,450 --> 00:31:51,240 mathematic explanation to life and all 792 00:31:55,370 --> 00:31:53,460 of it and I and I think that's just an 793 00:31:57,529 --> 00:31:55,380 equation we've yet to understand I 794 00:32:00,409 --> 00:31:57,539 really do I think that the the power 795 00:32:02,750 --> 00:32:00,419 that that God has just to allow some to 796 00:32:05,570 --> 00:32:02,760 come back and some not for whatever 797 00:32:07,430 --> 00:32:05,580 reason and that that's that's an 798 00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:07,440 understanding we we've just yet to 799 00:32:11,750 --> 00:32:08,640 understand 800 00:32:14,269 --> 00:32:11,760 perhaps and maybe that brings us to 801 00:32:15,470 --> 00:32:14,279 some of the lessons that you did right 802 00:32:19,430 --> 00:32:15,480 and which 803 00:32:23,510 --> 00:32:19,440 really really nicely done you cannot 804 00:32:27,110 --> 00:32:23,520 help but feel uplifted and inspired by 805 00:32:29,029 --> 00:32:27,120 this book it's a read that kind of 806 00:32:30,470 --> 00:32:29,039 hits you with a lot of information you 807 00:32:32,870 --> 00:32:30,480 probably knew but there's an 808 00:32:35,169 --> 00:32:32,880 authenticity to it which is 809 00:32:37,669 --> 00:32:35,179 number one right that's right there 810 00:32:39,830 --> 00:32:37,679 that's the most important principle for 811 00:32:41,930 --> 00:32:39,840 me was authenticity yep do you want to 812 00:32:44,810 --> 00:32:41,940 speak to that a little bit yeah I I 813 00:32:46,549 --> 00:32:44,820 think the these are all lessons that are 814 00:32:48,889 --> 00:32:46,559 it's almost like these are lessons that 815 00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:48,899 we've already got inside of us and and 816 00:32:51,590 --> 00:32:50,640 when they're put in front of us and we 817 00:32:53,990 --> 00:32:51,600 read them 818 00:32:56,389 --> 00:32:54,000 I mean even when I first read the 10 819 00:32:58,370 --> 00:32:56,399 lessons in the book itself as it was 820 00:33:00,710 --> 00:32:58,380 published 821 00:33:03,710 --> 00:33:00,720 um it really synchronized with what I 822 00:33:06,110 --> 00:33:03,720 believed even before I had my near-depth 823 00:33:07,789 --> 00:33:06,120 experience and and I actually call my 824 00:33:10,130 --> 00:33:07,799 experience an after death experience 825 00:33:13,250 --> 00:33:10,140 because I would I did truly get 826 00:33:17,210 --> 00:33:13,260 clinically pronounced dead and 827 00:33:19,730 --> 00:33:17,220 um so you know my Ade I after this and 828 00:33:22,070 --> 00:33:19,740 before this they the the 10 principles 829 00:33:24,110 --> 00:33:22,080 completely made sense but it was almost 830 00:33:26,570 --> 00:33:24,120 as if I wasn't getting the 10 principles 831 00:33:28,669 --> 00:33:26,580 correctly 832 00:33:31,310 --> 00:33:28,679 through my religions through my 833 00:33:34,850 --> 00:33:31,320 theologies through my psychologies that 834 00:33:37,669 --> 00:33:34,860 that of you know University that I had 835 00:33:40,190 --> 00:33:37,679 lived and worked before 836 00:33:42,289 --> 00:33:40,200 but yet here it was put so plainly and 837 00:33:44,330 --> 00:33:42,299 so simply it's almost like someone 838 00:33:47,210 --> 00:33:44,340 giving you the instructions on how to 839 00:33:49,009 --> 00:33:47,220 operate a machine or a tool that you've 840 00:33:50,630 --> 00:33:49,019 been using your whole life and you 841 00:33:51,830 --> 00:33:50,640 didn't realize you were kind of using it 842 00:33:53,750 --> 00:33:51,840 a little wrong 843 00:33:56,570 --> 00:33:53,760 and that now that you have the 844 00:33:58,789 --> 00:33:56,580 instructions you're like oh I I could 845 00:34:01,850 --> 00:33:58,799 fix this really easy for me 846 00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:01,860 and uh because you know 847 00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:04,260 one of the the principles in there is is 848 00:34:08,690 --> 00:34:06,480 you know exercising 849 00:34:11,930 --> 00:34:08,700 um the power of creation and avoiding 850 00:34:13,669 --> 00:34:11,940 negative influences it one of the the 851 00:34:16,369 --> 00:34:13,679 fundamental things I learned from that 852 00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:16,379 was honoring What I Call The Hour of 853 00:34:20,750 --> 00:34:19,200 Power which is the first 30 minutes as 854 00:34:23,570 --> 00:34:20,760 soon as we wake up the last 30 minutes 855 00:34:26,450 --> 00:34:23,580 before we go to bed and this time it's a 856 00:34:28,909 --> 00:34:26,460 sacred precious time that what we allow 857 00:34:31,790 --> 00:34:28,919 in this time we end up framing our night 858 00:34:34,909 --> 00:34:31,800 and framing our day with these two two 859 00:34:36,530 --> 00:34:34,919 little Windows of time but yet we tend 860 00:34:37,790 --> 00:34:36,540 to just let anything get in there 861 00:34:40,609 --> 00:34:37,800 sometimes 862 00:34:43,430 --> 00:34:40,619 but if we're if we're 863 00:34:45,409 --> 00:34:43,440 very succinct with what we allow inside 864 00:34:49,190 --> 00:34:45,419 our Hour of Power 865 00:34:51,230 --> 00:34:49,200 we can very much control 866 00:34:56,089 --> 00:34:51,240 the 867 00:34:58,730 --> 00:34:56,099 our day about our life if we can really 868 00:35:01,250 --> 00:34:58,740 put something strong in a good way 869 00:35:03,349 --> 00:35:01,260 in our Hour of Power we can actually 870 00:35:05,810 --> 00:35:03,359 start feeling a lot better about our 871 00:35:08,089 --> 00:35:05,820 lives but if we put something very 872 00:35:10,190 --> 00:35:08,099 negative in our Hour of Power 873 00:35:12,650 --> 00:35:10,200 we're going to be waking up depressed 874 00:35:14,750 --> 00:35:12,660 without energy feeling like we don't 875 00:35:17,390 --> 00:35:14,760 want to get up and deal with our day 876 00:35:19,069 --> 00:35:17,400 and if that's how we're feeling put 877 00:35:22,430 --> 00:35:19,079 something good in your Hour of Power 878 00:35:25,550 --> 00:35:22,440 it's something so simple but yet 879 00:35:28,609 --> 00:35:25,560 nobody really teaches us that not 880 00:35:30,829 --> 00:35:28,619 in the general way you know 881 00:35:33,230 --> 00:35:30,839 I mean I think that's that's cool I mean 882 00:35:36,550 --> 00:35:33,240 that didn't that didn't hit me where I 883 00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:36,560 live as much because man I've been doing 884 00:35:40,430 --> 00:35:38,880 self-development for a long time and 885 00:35:42,230 --> 00:35:40,440 have tried a lot of different things and 886 00:35:44,990 --> 00:35:42,240 you know good things not that it's not 887 00:35:46,190 --> 00:35:45,000 great and the Gratitude thing and the 888 00:35:49,130 --> 00:35:46,200 journaling first thing in the morning 889 00:35:50,870 --> 00:35:49,140 and waking up and you know I'm doing ice 890 00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:50,880 bath and I'm doing breathing and I'm 891 00:35:55,550 --> 00:35:52,800 doing yoga and I'm doing meditation I'm 892 00:35:58,609 --> 00:35:55,560 doing all this stuff uh I'm not against 893 00:36:01,430 --> 00:35:58,619 it but some of that advice did come 894 00:36:05,930 --> 00:36:01,440 through as not being 895 00:36:09,130 --> 00:36:05,940 like like useful for you on a very kind 896 00:36:11,870 --> 00:36:09,140 of ordinary level it didn't seem to be 897 00:36:15,050 --> 00:36:11,880 extraordinary in the way that it's kind 898 00:36:17,630 --> 00:36:15,060 of framed as you know this is what the 899 00:36:18,829 --> 00:36:17,640 Creator God kind of told me kind of 900 00:36:22,790 --> 00:36:18,839 thing because I can go listen to 901 00:36:25,430 --> 00:36:22,800 ecratoli and be incredibly inspired by 902 00:36:27,890 --> 00:36:25,440 some very simple things he says about or 903 00:36:31,010 --> 00:36:27,900 Mickey singer is another guy I really 904 00:36:33,349 --> 00:36:31,020 admire the untethered soul I think he he 905 00:36:35,630 --> 00:36:33,359 speaks about you know these things 906 00:36:37,430 --> 00:36:35,640 coming more from a yogic standpoint and 907 00:36:39,170 --> 00:36:37,440 again it's like we don't need to think 908 00:36:41,270 --> 00:36:39,180 we don't need to do we don't need you 909 00:36:43,430 --> 00:36:41,280 know we need to just get in touch with 910 00:36:46,130 --> 00:36:43,440 that flow of love and energy that's 911 00:36:47,510 --> 00:36:46,140 always there you are a Christian you are 912 00:36:49,970 --> 00:36:47,520 a Christian before you're a Christian 913 00:36:52,609 --> 00:36:49,980 after I want you to speak to that 914 00:36:53,870 --> 00:36:52,619 because the book as I think I was just 915 00:36:56,470 --> 00:36:53,880 saying there where I was really getting 916 00:36:58,730 --> 00:36:56,480 is there's a certain Christian 917 00:37:02,870 --> 00:36:58,740 sensibility to it 918 00:37:05,810 --> 00:37:02,880 not not bad I mean it's but it's not 919 00:37:07,730 --> 00:37:05,820 it's funny that you were a Christian you 920 00:37:10,370 --> 00:37:07,740 are a Christian and some of these things 921 00:37:12,770 --> 00:37:10,380 come across as churchy 922 00:37:16,550 --> 00:37:12,780 yeah and that that's got to be that's 923 00:37:18,950 --> 00:37:16,560 part of of who I am I mean I was a an 924 00:37:21,650 --> 00:37:18,960 avid churchgoer before my experience and 925 00:37:24,170 --> 00:37:21,660 and I I took a few years away from 926 00:37:26,210 --> 00:37:24,180 church in the party life and then when I 927 00:37:29,030 --> 00:37:26,220 worked uh TV and entertainment and 928 00:37:31,609 --> 00:37:29,040 working in in movies but I'll tell you 929 00:37:34,190 --> 00:37:31,619 the the big thing for me was after the 930 00:37:37,190 --> 00:37:34,200 experience oh I was I was so about 931 00:37:38,690 --> 00:37:37,200 church I wanted to be I wanted it was 932 00:37:40,670 --> 00:37:38,700 like I couldn't get enough Church some 933 00:37:42,170 --> 00:37:40,680 Sundays like I wanted to go to different 934 00:37:45,470 --> 00:37:42,180 churches all the time see different 935 00:37:47,990 --> 00:37:45,480 churches see how they they worship at uh 936 00:37:50,870 --> 00:37:48,000 at a you know different monasteries and 937 00:37:53,810 --> 00:37:50,880 different temples and churches I just 938 00:37:56,089 --> 00:37:53,820 really wanted to get I wanted to see God 939 00:37:58,730 --> 00:37:56,099 I wanted to see that that God energy 940 00:38:00,530 --> 00:37:58,740 that I saw and experienced in heaven I 941 00:38:02,690 --> 00:38:00,540 wanted to see if I could find it in all 942 00:38:05,030 --> 00:38:02,700 these different places here and it's 943 00:38:08,510 --> 00:38:05,040 funny the places I found it the most is 944 00:38:09,950 --> 00:38:08,520 in the people around me in the eyes of 945 00:38:12,890 --> 00:38:09,960 the people around me that's where I've 946 00:38:15,349 --> 00:38:12,900 seen that heaven energy that God energy 947 00:38:16,730 --> 00:38:15,359 the most is in the people not the places 948 00:38:20,870 --> 00:38:16,740 but the people 949 00:38:22,670 --> 00:38:20,880 and um yeah you know in it I'm sure it 950 00:38:24,710 --> 00:38:22,680 does come across as churchy because I 951 00:38:28,190 --> 00:38:24,720 was raised in a very Church 952 00:38:30,290 --> 00:38:28,200 uh centered home or god-centered home uh 953 00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:30,300 but what you know for instance one of 954 00:38:34,490 --> 00:38:31,440 the principles I actually really 955 00:38:39,050 --> 00:38:34,500 struggled with at the time was uh 956 00:38:41,089 --> 00:38:39,060 understanding how to have a a uh a good 957 00:38:43,490 --> 00:38:41,099 relationship with technology because I 958 00:38:45,589 --> 00:38:43,500 had my experience back 2003 959 00:38:48,230 --> 00:38:45,599 in 2003 there wasn't a lot of technology 960 00:38:51,109 --> 00:38:48,240 to me that was like okay so you turn off 961 00:38:52,970 --> 00:38:51,119 the satellite TV I mean I mean back then 962 00:38:55,910 --> 00:38:52,980 we some of us were diving into email 963 00:38:58,370 --> 00:38:55,920 every day that was about the the some of 964 00:39:01,190 --> 00:38:58,380 us maybe a MySpace page but most of that 965 00:39:04,849 --> 00:39:01,200 was all PC centered you know at home on 966 00:39:07,130 --> 00:39:04,859 your PC not on the cell phones yet and 967 00:39:09,849 --> 00:39:07,140 so I didn't really understand the threat 968 00:39:13,010 --> 00:39:09,859 of how technology is a threat now 969 00:39:15,770 --> 00:39:13,020 because uh I see it now I see people 970 00:39:18,349 --> 00:39:15,780 completely addicted to technology I see 971 00:39:20,990 --> 00:39:18,359 that I go around and I'll see a family 972 00:39:22,490 --> 00:39:21,000 at a restaurant that every single person 973 00:39:24,730 --> 00:39:22,500 in that family stares at a phone 974 00:39:28,250 --> 00:39:24,740 including the baby 975 00:39:30,829 --> 00:39:28,260 and nobody's having any interactions 976 00:39:33,170 --> 00:39:30,839 and and what's funny is a laughter will 977 00:39:34,990 --> 00:39:33,180 start at one end of the table and then 978 00:39:37,310 --> 00:39:35,000 they'll message each other 979 00:39:39,290 --> 00:39:37,320 whatever joke or thing that they're 980 00:39:41,329 --> 00:39:39,300 laughing about and they're all laughing 981 00:39:43,849 --> 00:39:41,339 one at a time as they see it and open it 982 00:39:47,750 --> 00:39:43,859 and it's like that's that to me 983 00:39:50,750 --> 00:39:47,760 is is missing The Human Experience is 984 00:39:53,210 --> 00:39:50,760 missing the beauty of of this life and 985 00:39:55,790 --> 00:39:53,220 and that's where I think the that that 986 00:39:57,829 --> 00:39:55,800 principle of understanding a responsible 987 00:39:59,870 --> 00:39:57,839 relationship with technology comes in 988 00:40:03,170 --> 00:39:59,880 and you know the again I learned that 989 00:40:05,990 --> 00:40:03,180 back in 2003 long before this was any 990 00:40:09,050 --> 00:40:06,000 type of threat to me or to to the 991 00:40:11,930 --> 00:40:09,060 humanity you know technology was very in 992 00:40:13,310 --> 00:40:11,940 its infant stages I think uh compared to 993 00:40:14,210 --> 00:40:13,320 where it is now and where it's going 994 00:40:16,609 --> 00:40:14,220 next 995 00:40:19,970 --> 00:40:16,619 it's hard to disagree with that on one 996 00:40:22,550 --> 00:40:19,980 hand and I you know we all get that yeah 997 00:40:24,230 --> 00:40:22,560 I don't get it from an nde perspective 998 00:40:26,810 --> 00:40:24,240 because I don't get it from a god 999 00:40:29,810 --> 00:40:26,820 perspective I mean God is asleep at the 1000 00:40:31,550 --> 00:40:29,820 switch this is 2003. why do we have ai 1001 00:40:35,390 --> 00:40:31,560 why do we have artificial intelligence 1002 00:40:37,790 --> 00:40:35,400 with robots who are you know like doing 1003 00:40:39,530 --> 00:40:37,800 your doing your trading shooting drone 1004 00:40:41,329 --> 00:40:39,540 bombs you know probably going to be in 1005 00:40:42,950 --> 00:40:41,339 the next War why do we have genetic 1006 00:40:45,349 --> 00:40:42,960 engineering why do we have transhumanism 1007 00:40:47,329 --> 00:40:45,359 why is it being jammed down our throat 1008 00:40:49,910 --> 00:40:47,339 not to mention the tick tock dopamine as 1009 00:40:51,470 --> 00:40:49,920 I go through my reel you know like one 1010 00:40:53,510 --> 00:40:51,480 of the things you say in in the book is 1011 00:40:55,069 --> 00:40:53,520 hey it's the timeline forget the 1012 00:40:57,650 --> 00:40:55,079 timeline the past the present the future 1013 00:41:00,250 --> 00:40:57,660 it's all one well then I I don't get the 1014 00:41:02,930 --> 00:41:00,260 advice this is back to the 1015 00:41:04,849 --> 00:41:02,940 Commandments chiseled on the stone that 1016 00:41:06,109 --> 00:41:04,859 does never worked out what does it mean 1017 00:41:11,150 --> 00:41:06,119 you know 1018 00:41:13,430 --> 00:41:11,160 back to my experience itself I've never 1019 00:41:15,410 --> 00:41:13,440 I've never ever professed that this 1020 00:41:18,349 --> 00:41:15,420 experience was anybody for anybody but 1021 00:41:19,910 --> 00:41:18,359 for me really and it's just I've had a 1022 00:41:21,230 --> 00:41:19,920 lot of people say they've wanted to hear 1023 00:41:23,030 --> 00:41:21,240 it they've wanted me to share it with 1024 00:41:24,890 --> 00:41:23,040 their friends share it with their church 1025 00:41:28,010 --> 00:41:24,900 group share it with their group of of 1026 00:41:30,109 --> 00:41:28,020 people whatever group this is and and so 1027 00:41:32,210 --> 00:41:30,119 that's why I published it I I don't uh 1028 00:41:33,829 --> 00:41:32,220 profess that it's it's an answer to 1029 00:41:37,250 --> 00:41:33,839 anybody's problems 1030 00:41:40,670 --> 00:41:37,260 but what I do uh profess it to be 1031 00:41:42,650 --> 00:41:40,680 is something that really helped me 1032 00:41:44,510 --> 00:41:42,660 you know to have that experience and to 1033 00:41:46,370 --> 00:41:44,520 have it the way that it did happen for 1034 00:41:48,349 --> 00:41:46,380 me and I think that those 10 principles 1035 00:41:49,130 --> 00:41:48,359 aren't necessarily 10 principles for the 1036 00:41:50,990 --> 00:41:49,140 world 1037 00:41:52,849 --> 00:41:51,000 those are where the 10 principles for me 1038 00:41:54,589 --> 00:41:52,859 because that's what I needed to hear and 1039 00:41:56,750 --> 00:41:54,599 not only did I need to hear it I needed 1040 00:42:00,050 --> 00:41:56,760 to get some of those principles really 1041 00:42:03,109 --> 00:42:00,060 deeply planted in me who I am so that 1042 00:42:05,390 --> 00:42:03,119 later as technology develops and as it 1043 00:42:07,849 --> 00:42:05,400 became becomes a true psychological 1044 00:42:09,410 --> 00:42:07,859 threat where every single day the more 1045 00:42:12,230 --> 00:42:09,420 you allow yourself to pour your 1046 00:42:13,310 --> 00:42:12,240 Consciousness into technology the sadder 1047 00:42:18,050 --> 00:42:13,320 you feel 1048 00:42:20,150 --> 00:42:18,060 are so addicted to those dopamine hits 1049 00:42:22,310 --> 00:42:20,160 and you'd rather have the little tiny 1050 00:42:25,010 --> 00:42:22,320 hit of dopamine than than the good 1051 00:42:27,290 --> 00:42:25,020 injection of Serotonin of going on a 1052 00:42:29,569 --> 00:42:27,300 walk or going on a run or being you know 1053 00:42:32,390 --> 00:42:29,579 moving moving your body 1054 00:42:34,670 --> 00:42:32,400 and and I think that's why those those 1055 00:42:36,589 --> 00:42:34,680 10 principles really connect for me I 1056 00:42:39,109 --> 00:42:36,599 don't I again I don't profess it's for 1057 00:42:42,050 --> 00:42:39,119 anybody else I I appreciate that they do 1058 00:42:44,109 --> 00:42:42,060 speak to other people but um to me all 1059 00:42:47,810 --> 00:42:44,119 it was about was sharing my experience 1060 00:42:51,050 --> 00:42:47,820 and how it had an impact on me the the 1061 00:42:52,490 --> 00:42:51,060 biggest aha for me though was these 1062 00:42:55,609 --> 00:42:52,500 certain things that would come through 1063 00:42:57,530 --> 00:42:55,619 spirit that were undeniable to the 1064 00:42:58,910 --> 00:42:57,540 skeptic inside of me 1065 00:43:01,670 --> 00:42:58,920 I mean just like with that 1066 00:43:04,010 --> 00:43:01,680 psychotherapist where I I bring through 1067 00:43:07,010 --> 00:43:04,020 some personal information about him and 1068 00:43:08,630 --> 00:43:07,020 his childhood that that was irrefutiful 1069 00:43:12,710 --> 00:43:08,640 that he had even forgotten had happened 1070 00:43:15,410 --> 00:43:12,720 to him tell that story so I'm I I really 1071 00:43:17,630 --> 00:43:15,420 I think that I'm I'm crazy at this time 1072 00:43:19,730 --> 00:43:17,640 I had my experience and I had a 1073 00:43:22,490 --> 00:43:19,740 neurologist who was telling me that that 1074 00:43:25,609 --> 00:43:22,500 it was my imagination making things up 1075 00:43:29,750 --> 00:43:25,619 and so I I really did I'm sitting there 1076 00:43:32,030 --> 00:43:29,760 I have a very strong sense of Science in 1077 00:43:34,550 --> 00:43:32,040 my brain I always have and so I'm 1078 00:43:37,010 --> 00:43:34,560 sitting there thinking wow this is 1079 00:43:39,950 --> 00:43:37,020 dangerous to have this guy who thinks he 1080 00:43:43,069 --> 00:43:39,960 perceives Spirit he thinks he hears 1081 00:43:45,770 --> 00:43:43,079 Spirit everywhere he goes and and get 1082 00:43:48,290 --> 00:43:45,780 that guy as me just to clarify in case 1083 00:43:50,210 --> 00:43:48,300 it wasn't clear you have this in 1084 00:43:51,829 --> 00:43:50,220 incredible near-death experience like 1085 00:43:54,530 --> 00:43:51,839 you said after you're dead I mean you 1086

accidentally understandable but 1092 00:44:12,109 --> 00:44:10,200 anyways now you recover and your 1093 00:44:14,150 --> 00:44:12,119 recovery is unbelievable because no one 1094 00:44:15,410 -->

--> 00:45:45,720 the medical field into the mental and 1136 00:45:49,670 --> 00:45:47,579 psychology and the the actual chemistry 1137 00:45:51,710 --> 00:45:49,680 side of things this is why he went into 1138 00:45:54,290 --> 00:45:51,720 this you need to remind him of this 1139 00:45:55,910 --> 00:45:54,300 because he's forgotten about it and so 1140 00:45:59,150 --> 00:45:55,920 it was going to be a dual purpose thing 1141 00:46:01,910 --> 00:45:59,160 for him it was going to be kind of a a 1142 00:46:05,630 --> 00:46:01,920 ruler of oh here's a guy who's bringing 1143 00:46:07,550 --> 00:46:05,640 forth truth he's not so crazy but also 1144 00:46:09,109 --> 00:46:07,560 it was going to be a nice reminder oh 1145 00:46:11,510 --> 00:46:09,119 yeah that's why you've gotten this whole 1146 00:46:14,870 --> 00:46:11,520 field to begin with no I take it that 1147 00:46:17,390 --> 00:46:14,880 this is a not so nice reminder I mean 1148 00:46:18,950 --> 00:46:17,400 this triggers something very uh deep and 1149 00:46:20,630 --> 00:46:18,960 potentially dark with this guy I don't 1150 00:46:22,670 --> 00:46:20,640 know because you don't reveal it but 1151 00:46:24,470 --> 00:46:22,680 it's not like a nice reminder because 1152 00:46:26,990 --> 00:46:24,480 the way there's a trauma it was it was 1153 00:46:29,510 --> 00:46:27,000 definitely early life trauma but what I 1154 00:46:31,309 --> 00:46:29,520 was bringing forth was how this 1155 00:46:33,589 --> 00:46:31,319 grandmother figure had stopped the 1156 00:46:35,630 --> 00:46:33,599 trauma for him 1157 00:46:37,730 --> 00:46:35,640 and that that's why she was the one 1158 00:46:40,910 --> 00:46:37,740 bringing it Forward saying hey I was the 1159 00:46:42,349 --> 00:46:40,920 one to nip that in the butt and and help 1160 00:46:43,670 --> 00:46:42,359 you realize you didn't need to be a 1161 00:46:45,530 --> 00:46:43,680 victim anymore 1162 00:46:47,510 --> 00:46:45,540 and that's why she was coming for and 1163 00:46:50,089 --> 00:46:47,520 she was using so much love to share that 1164 00:46:52,910 --> 00:46:50,099 with me and then I'm I'm sitting there 1165 00:46:54,770 --> 00:46:52,920

00:48:16,560 little bit of a tough I was pretty 1202 00:48:21,349 --> 00:48:18,720 pissed at him like how unprofessional of 1203 00:48:23,030 --> 00:48:21,359 him to act like that but I didn't know 1204 00:48:24,609 --> 00:48:23,040 that what I just told him was a hundred 1205 00:48:27,170 --> 00:48:24,619 percent true 1206 00:48:29,349 --> 00:48:27,180 obviously later I figured it out but he 1207 00:48:33,170 --> 00:48:29,359 called me about 15 minutes down the road 1208 00:48:36,050 --> 00:48:33,180 and I was on my cell phone picked up and 1209 00:48:37,550 --> 00:48:36,060 he and he said you know this is this is 1210 00:48:39,230 --> 00:48:37,560 your doctor I want you to know that 1211 00:48:41,630 --> 00:48:39,240 whatever happened to you must have 1212 00:48:43,130 --> 00:48:41,640 happened to you because the fact that 1213 00:48:46,010 --> 00:48:43,140 you brought up something that I had 1214 00:48:48,290 --> 00:48:46,020 completely forgotten even happened to me 1215 00:48:50,569 --> 00:48:48,300 that somehow he had actually blocked it 1216 00:48:53,150 --> 00:48:50,579 himself but me bringing it up actually 1217 00:48:55,910 --> 00:48:53,160 it was such a truth bomb for him that 1218 00:48:58,190 --> 00:48:55,920 there was no way for him to believe he 1219 00:49:00,349 --> 00:48:58,200 needed to give me any prescriptions and 1220 00:49:02,990 --> 00:49:00,359 and mainly that's what it was for 1221 00:49:05,390 --> 00:49:03,000 and so I did go away without taking any 1222 00:49:07,910 --> 00:49:05,400 prescriptions for that so if any one 1223 00:49:11,569 --> 00:49:07,920 other lesson from the light after death 1224 00:49:13,490 --> 00:49:11,579 that I thought was particularly well 1225 00:49:16,550 --> 00:49:13,500 done on your part and and I love the way 1226 00:49:18,829 --> 00:49:16,560 that you just referenced this before and 1227 00:49:21,589 --> 00:49:18,839 let me just kind of put an exclamation 1228 00:49:23,450 --> 00:49:21,599 point on this this was your experience 1229 00:49:25,430 --> 00:49:23,460 and when I hear you saying and tell me 1230 00:49:27,890 --> 00:49:25,440 if I'm wrong but you kind of feeling 1231 00:49:31,069 --> 00:49:27,900 this is tailored for you 1232 00:49:33,230 --> 00:49:31,079 for your journey and what you need 1233 00:49:35,690 --> 00:49:33,240 absolutely absolutely yeah I've never 1234 00:49:38,089 --> 00:49:35,700 I've had people even say hey can I use 1235 00:49:40,010 --> 00:49:38,099 these 10 principles to build like a a 1236 00:49:42,170 --> 00:49:40,020 religious group or build this or build 1237 00:49:44,510 --> 00:49:42,180 that and and I've always said no this is 1238 00:49:47,930 --> 00:49:44,520 this is for all religions this is for 1239 00:49:50,510 --> 00:49:47,940 this is primarily for me but if someone 1240 00:49:52,790 --> 00:49:50,520 can help themselves get more connected 1241 00:49:55,250 --> 00:49:52,800 to their God through these 10 principles 1242 00:49:57,530 --> 00:49:55,260 awesome but I'm not going to go and put 1243 00:49:59,210 --> 00:49:57,540 these 10 principles up anywhere and say 1244 00:50:01,069 --> 00:49:59,220 they're anybody's gospel because they're 1245 00:50:02,870 --> 00:50:01,079 not they're they're just uh 10 1246 00:50:05,390 --> 00:50:02,880 principles that were given to me in my 1247 00:50:07,730 --> 00:50:05,400 experience and and man have they helped 1248 00:50:10,370 --> 00:50:07,740 me since and and what's weird is they're 1249 00:50:12,109 --> 00:50:10,380 getting more and more important as my 1250 00:50:15,109 --> 00:50:12,119 own life is progressing further and 1251 00:50:17,329 --> 00:50:15,119 further on my my journey of life you 1252 00:50:20,210 --> 00:50:17,339 know as a father these 10 principles are 1253 00:50:21,710 --> 00:50:20,220 are just invaluable and and I've taught 1254 00:50:24,230 --> 00:50:21,720 it to my 13 year olds and I'm now 1255 00:50:26,150 --> 00:50:24,240 teaching it to my my two-year-old that 1256 00:50:29,089 --> 00:50:26,160 he'll he'll have a good embodiment of 1257 00:50:32,030 --> 00:50:29,099 the ten principles four kids good luck 1258 00:50:34,329 --> 00:50:32,040 just so you know your children are your 1259 00:50:36,970 --> 00:50:34,339 children yeah they are 1260 00:50:38,530 --> 00:50:36,980 they come through you but not from you 1261 00:50:42,589 --> 00:50:38,540 exactly 1262 00:50:45,109 --> 00:50:42,599 so uh I liked listen to your inner voice 1263 00:50:47,390 --> 00:50:45,119 because there was some subtlety and 1264 00:50:49,130 --> 00:50:47,400 Nuance to that that really resonated 1265 00:50:52,069 --> 00:50:49,140 with me 1266 00:50:53,990 --> 00:50:52,079 talk to folks about what it means to 1267 00:50:57,470 --> 00:50:54,000 listen to your inner voice 1268 00:50:59,809 --> 00:50:57,480 so you know sometimes we'll be going 1269 00:51:02,690 --> 00:50:59,819 about our day and and one of our friends 1270 00:51:04,490 --> 00:51:02,700 one of our relatives they'll they'll get 1271 00:51:06,589 --> 00:51:04,500 stuck in our Consciousness we can't get 1272 00:51:08,450 --> 00:51:06,599 them out of our mind and the reason 1273 00:51:11,510 --> 00:51:08,460 that's happening is that's part of that 1274 00:51:14,510 --> 00:51:11,520 quantum entanglement that they need us 1275 00:51:15,970 --> 00:51:14,520 or we need to hear from them somehow and 1276 00:51:20,089 --> 00:51:15,980 if we would follow 1277 00:51:23,510 --> 00:51:20,099 that that perception that intuition we 1278 00:51:25,849 --> 00:51:23,520 would actually see our our own life be 1279 00:51:27,829 --> 00:51:25,859 blessed and their life be blessed by 1280 00:51:30,049 --> 00:51:27,839 whatever takes place 1281 00:51:33,290 --> 00:51:30,059 um one of the the coolest exercises I 1282 00:51:36,230 --> 00:51:33,300 like to give people is is ask yourself 1283 00:51:38,930 --> 00:51:36,240 who needs me today and ask yourself that 1284 00:51:40,430 --> 00:51:38,940 every single morning and if you can have 1285 00:51:42,470 --> 00:51:40,440 a piece of paper there so you can write 1286 00:51:44,870 --> 00:51:42,480 down the name that comes to you and 1287 00:51:48,109 --> 00:51:44,880 you'd be very impressed that how often 1288 00:51:50,510 --> 00:51:48,119 when you ask who needs me today 1289 00:51:52,790 --> 00:51:50,520 uh how often a name actually comes to 1290 00:51:54,650 --> 00:51:52,800 you or a face of someone comes to you 1291 00:51:56,329 --> 00:51:54,660 and you might not even recognize the 1292 00:51:58,370 --> 00:51:56,339 face and then later in your day you 1293 00:52:01,609 --> 00:51:58,380 recognize the face as one of the faces 1294 00:52:02,870 --> 00:52:01,619 you've seen and and and this is the 1295 00:52:04,910 --> 00:52:02,880 beautiful part 1296 00:52:06,890 --> 00:52:04,920 some people are seeing someone's face 1297 00:52:07,849 --> 00:52:06,900 someone they've never seen in their life 1298 00:52:09,890 --> 00:52:07,859 before 1299 00:52:11,630 --> 00:52:09,900 and then two hours later they see that 1300 00:52:13,670 --> 00:52:11,640 person at the gas station and they're 1301 00:52:16,670 --> 00:52:13,680 like oh that's the person that needs me 1302 00:52:19,010 --> 00:52:16,680 today and I know exactly what what God's 1303 00:52:21,170 --> 00:52:19,020 talking about when When God says they 1304 00:52:23,450 --> 00:52:21,180 need me is because now the scene has 1305 00:52:24,589 --> 00:52:23,460 played itself out they recognize the 1306 00:52:27,049 --> 00:52:24,599 player 1307 00:52:28,609 --> 00:52:27,059 and it's it's a beautiful thing it's a 1308 00:52:31,010 --> 00:52:28,619 beautiful beautiful thing you can watch 1309 00:52:32,329 --> 00:52:31,020 your life come alive with this single 1310 00:52:34,670 --> 00:52:32,339 exercise 1311 00:52:36,530 --> 00:52:34,680 you know that's that's awesome and it's 1312 00:52:38,390 --> 00:52:36,540 it's so wonderful because I kind of took 1313 00:52:40,790 --> 00:52:38,400 it in a completely different direction 1314 00:52:42,950 --> 00:52:40,800 in that you know one of the things that 1315 00:52:46,730 --> 00:52:42,960 I kind of focus on is 1316 00:52:48,530 --> 00:52:46,740 I've created the mess that is that inner 1317 00:52:50,630 --> 00:52:48,540 voice that kind of goes all over for all 1318 00:52:52,790 --> 00:52:50,640 of us and is scattered and isn't always 1319 00:52:54,710 --> 00:52:52,800 as compassionate and connected to my 1320 00:52:56,569 --> 00:52:54,720 wife and my children and everyone else I 1321 00:53:00,470 --> 00:52:56,579 should be and the first thing I need to 1322 00:53:02,750 --> 00:53:00,480 do is seek calm and to the first thing I 1323 00:53:05,470 --> 00:53:02,760 need to do is Do no harm today you know 1324 00:53:08,870 --> 00:53:05,480 Do no harm don't let my mouth 1325 00:53:12,890 --> 00:53:08,880 or my actions make things worse if you 1326 00:53:14,510 --> 00:53:12,900 will and just release into not trying to 1327 00:53:16,250 --> 00:53:14,520 pass not trying to get ahead and stuff 1328 00:53:18,470 --> 00:53:16,260 like that so what I really took away 1329 00:53:20,390 --> 00:53:18,480 from your chapter on listen to your 1330 00:53:22,849 --> 00:53:20,400 inner voice was 1331 00:53:25,849 --> 00:53:22,859 that it's there 1332 00:53:29,270 --> 00:53:25,859 and we can train ourselves to become 1333 00:53:31,849 --> 00:53:29,280 more in touch with it so it's funny I I 1334 00:53:33,950 --> 00:53:31,859 kind of stopped there my life experience 1335 00:53:37,069 --> 00:53:33,960 tells me that I don't want to get into 1336 00:53:40,010 --> 00:53:37,079 that game of trying to be God Soldier 1337 00:53:42,109 --> 00:53:40,020 and God needs my help I think God's got 1338 00:53:44,390 --> 00:53:42,119 everything you know yeah if I can get 1339 00:53:47,569 --> 00:53:44,400 the hell out of the way that's probably 1340 00:53:50,150 --> 00:53:47,579 what God wants me to do yeah it's cool 1341 00:53:53,510 --> 00:53:50,160 it's cool that you take it you take it 1342 00:53:55,010 --> 00:53:53,520 one way and you shared it with me and I 1343 00:53:57,770 --> 00:53:55,020 found it important it took it a 1344 00:54:00,170 --> 00:53:57,780 different way well I love I love that 1345 00:54:03,710 --> 00:54:00,180 way that you take it too because that 1346 00:54:06,290 --> 00:54:03,720 adds a whole nother Dynamic to that that 1347 00:54:09,170 --> 00:54:06,300 principle alone I mean the the other 1348 00:54:11,329 --> 00:54:09,180 this is about a year ago my wife was 1349 00:54:13,130 --> 00:54:11,339 driving down the street and she she 1350 00:54:14,930 --> 00:54:13,140 hears me telling these 10 principles 1351 00:54:17,569 --> 00:54:14,940 constantly so she's always trying to 1352 00:54:18,470 --> 00:54:17,579 embody her own 10 principles her own 1353 00:54:20,809 --> 00:54:18,480 version 1354 00:54:22,190 --> 00:54:20,819 and she feels this feeling you need to 1355 00:54:24,530 --> 00:54:22,200 pull over right now 1356 00:54:26,569 --> 00:54:24,540 and she's right in front of a VFW of 1357 00:54:28,849 --> 00:54:26,579 Veterans of Foreign Wares Lodge or 1358 00:54:30,410 --> 00:54:28,859 Foreign Wars Lodge and she's like I've 1359 00:54:32,930 --> 00:54:30,420 never been there why would I pull in 1360 00:54:34,670 --> 00:54:32,940 there her ego her brain is saying why 1361 00:54:35,930 --> 00:54:34,680 would you pull in there she did it 1362 00:54:39,290 --> 00:54:35,940 anyway 1363 00:54:41,930 --> 00:54:39,300 and just seconds later a car running 1364 00:54:44,510 --> 00:54:41,940 from the police came and rammed through 1365 00:54:46,910 --> 00:54:44,520 all the cars that she was next to in 1366 00:54:48,530 --> 00:54:46,920 traffic Ram through all of them and then 1367 00:54:51,589 --> 00:54:48,540 made its way through that intersection 1368 00:54:53,510 --> 00:54:51,599 and took off but they you know how many 1369 00:54:55,609 --> 00:54:53,520 countless cars there's at least six or 1370 00:54:57,890 --> 00:54:55,619 seven that she saw that they're now 1371 00:55:00,470 --> 00:54:57,900 gonna have to claim something on their 1372 00:55:02,690 --> 00:55:00,480 insurance of a hit and run as a guy runs 1373 00:55:03,890 --> 00:55:02,700 from the police so as simple simple 1374 00:55:06,770 --> 00:55:03,900 little thing it wasn't going to kill 1375 00:55:09,710 --> 00:55:06,780 anybody but it would be extra hardship 1376 00:55:11,450 --> 00:55:09,720 for her to go through and and so she 1377 00:55:14,329 --> 00:55:11,460 followed that simple prompting it was an 1378 00:55:16,790 --> 00:55:14,339 awesome opportunity for her 1379 00:55:19,490 --> 00:55:16,800 um another time where I was you know me 1380 00:55:22,190 --> 00:55:19,500 me and her we we tend to try to do good 1381 00:55:24,230 --> 00:55:22,200 things that we come to us and we were on 1382 00:55:26,150 --> 00:55:24,240 one of these little um escapades of 1383 00:55:28,790 --> 00:55:26,160 trying to help somebody out we got 1384 00:55:31,130 --> 00:55:28,800 finally got done with it and we're going 1385 00:55:34,130 --> 00:55:31,140 to this gas station and there's these 1386 00:55:36,829 --> 00:55:34,140 two nicely dressed uh boys they're 1387 00:55:38,210 --> 00:55:36,839 they're early to early 20s 1388 00:55:40,190 --> 00:55:38,220 they're they're dressed real nice 1389 00:55:44,450 --> 00:55:40,200 driving a brand new car 1390 00:55:46,190 --> 00:55:44,460 and my wife says they need help and 1391 00:55:49,010 --> 00:55:46,200 here's the weird thing here's the the 1392 00:55:51,890 --> 00:55:49,020 craziest thing Alex my own intuition 1393 00:55:54,710 --> 00:55:51,900 said yes they need help but my ego was 1394 00:55:56,870 --> 00:55:54,720 so strong my ego is seeing that brand 1395 00:55:58,670 --> 00:55:56,880 new car and seeing uh one of them was 1396 00:56:01,970 --> 00:55:58,680 wearing brand new Jordans and I'm like 1397 00:56:03,890 --> 00:56:01,980 that these guys don't need help they 1398 00:56:05,450 --> 00:56:03,900 look financially I'm thinking finances 1399 00:56:07,670 --> 00:56:05,460 is the only help that you would need for 1400 00:56:09,049 --> 00:56:07,680 someone at a gas station but yet here 1401 00:56:10,670 --> 00:56:09,059 they were they didn't look like they 1402 00:56:12,950 --> 00:56:10,680 needed help 1403 00:56:15,410 --> 00:56:12,960 and my ego is so strong to say nope 1404 00:56:17,990 --> 00:56:15,420 they're fine I went in I paid for my gas 1405 00:56:20,809 --> 00:56:18,000 I was leaving the gas station 1406 00:56:23,750 --> 00:56:20,819 and my wife says to me don't you dare 1407 00:56:25,990 --> 00:56:23,760 not honor the principles you've been 1408 00:56:28,609 --> 00:56:26,000 teaching me and I'm like 1409 00:56:29,990 --> 00:56:28,619 I had to be authentic and I'd say you 1410 00:56:32,450 --> 00:56:30,000 know what you're right I'm I'm not 1411 00:56:34,670 --> 00:56:32,460 honoring that because I do I am feeling 1412 00:56:38,530 --> 00:56:34,680 something there but I'm I'm disregarding 1413 00:56:41,569 --> 00:56:38,540 it so I act I reversed out of the exit 1414 00:56:43,730 --> 00:56:41,579 reversed all the way back to to where 1415 00:56:46,130 --> 00:56:43,740 their car and where they were standing 1416 00:56:47,809 --> 00:56:46,140 and I go this is gonna I roll down the 1417 00:56:50,030 --> 00:56:47,819 window and I go this is gonna sound 1418 00:56:54,109 --> 00:56:50,040 weird guys but my wife thinks you guys 1419 00:56:57,770 --> 00:56:54,119 need help I laid her right under the bus 1420 00:57:00,950 --> 00:56:57,780 and and one of them said oh thank God 1421 00:57:03,349 --> 00:57:00,960 we've been praying for some help 1422 00:57:05,870 --> 00:57:03,359 and what it was is they they had this 1423 00:57:07,609 --> 00:57:05,880 special ATM card that once they went to 1424 00:57:10,130 --> 00:57:07,619 go get groceries they now couldn't use 1425 00:57:12,349 --> 00:57:10,140 it for 24 hours and they had both used 1426 00:57:13,609 --> 00:57:12,359 that their own ATM card now they had no 1427 00:57:16,130 --> 00:57:13,619 cash for gas 1428 00:57:18,770 --> 00:57:16,140 and so they only needed you know 20 30 1429 00:57:20,809 --> 00:57:18,780 bucks worth of gas gas was a lot cheaper 1430 00:57:22,490 --> 00:57:20,819 back then and so we were able to fill 1431 00:57:25,190 --> 00:57:22,500 them up for about 30 bucks worth of gas 1432 00:57:27,109 --> 00:57:25,200 and and move them on their way but they 1433 00:57:29,450 --> 00:57:27,119 had called somebody this was up in the 1434 00:57:32,450 --> 00:57:29,460 Reno Sparks area they called somebody an 1435 00:57:34,309 --> 00:57:32,460 Elco which is four hours away and 1436 00:57:36,349 --> 00:57:34,319 someone was coming from four hours away 1437 00:57:38,089 --> 00:57:36,359 to help them and they didn't need that 1438 00:57:41,390 --> 00:57:38,099 they had somebody right there that was 1439 00:57:43,609 --> 00:57:41,400 listening to their intuition and so I've 1440 00:57:46,790 --> 00:57:43,619 learned from many many times like this 1441 00:57:48,770 --> 00:57:46,800 that follow that intuition it I'm only 1442 00:57:51,950 --> 00:57:48,780 out of out of pocket 30 bucks to help 1443 00:57:54,890 --> 00:57:51,960 these guys but man I was I Amplified for 1444 00:57:56,630 --> 00:57:54,900 days I was just so on on top of life for 1445 00:57:59,089 --> 00:57:56,640 days and I felt like I was honoring my 1446 00:58:02,510 --> 00:57:59,099 wife too because I I did what she asked 1447 00:58:04,130 --> 00:58:02,520 me to do and and I also learned that a 1448 00:58:06,530 --> 00:58:04,140 lot of times when I'm not listening to 1449 00:58:08,870 --> 00:58:06,540 my intuition she's going to listen to it 1450 00:58:11,030 --> 00:58:08,880 better and when she's not listening I 1451 00:58:12,829 --> 00:58:11,040 listen to it better and so even as a 1452 00:58:15,290 --> 00:58:12,839 couple we help each other through these 1453 00:58:17,809 --> 00:58:15,300 experiences and we can we can be there 1454 00:58:19,609 --> 00:58:17,819 for people when they need us it's it's a 1455 00:58:23,030 --> 00:58:19,619 cool thing I love it I really really 1456 00:58:24,770 --> 00:58:23,040 love it it helps you live at a at a a 1457 00:58:26,450 --> 00:58:24,780 completely different experience than 1458 00:58:28,250 --> 00:58:26,460 most people are experiencing in their 1459 00:58:30,349 --> 00:58:28,260 daily lives in a beautiful way 1460 00:58:33,470 --> 00:58:30,359 and so if we can if we can get that 1461 00:58:35,270 --> 00:58:33,480 intuition going and follow it it gets 1462 00:58:37,849 --> 00:58:35,280 stronger and stronger and stronger the 1463 00:58:40,970 --> 00:58:37,859 more we follow it that's awesome 1464 00:58:43,609 --> 00:58:40,980 absolutely awesome and inspiring that's 1465 00:58:46,309 --> 00:58:43,619 not me you know I know it's not 1466 00:58:47,510 --> 00:58:46,319 everybody it's not it's not me in the 1467 00:58:51,049 --> 00:58:47,520 sense that and I want to get this out 1468 00:58:53,030 --> 00:58:51,059 there you know because I'm open 1469 00:58:56,150 --> 00:58:53,040 you know like one of my spiritual 1470 00:58:58,250 --> 00:58:56,160 practices every day is before I go in 1471 00:59:02,150 --> 00:58:58,260 the the ice path I knock 1472 00:59:04,910 --> 00:59:02,160 let me in let me in you know let me in 1473 00:59:08,289 --> 00:59:04,920 God to what you need to teach me today 1474 00:59:11,750 --> 00:59:08,299 what I need to be aware of today 1475 00:59:16,430 --> 00:59:11,760 but if it doesn't come I'm okay with 1476 00:59:19,190 --> 00:59:16,440 that and I understand myself as being 1477 00:59:22,670 --> 00:59:19,200 is spiritually dense not intentionally 1478 00:59:26,089 --> 00:59:22,680 but I don't experience these things the 1479 00:59:29,089 --> 00:59:26,099 way some other people do and I need to 1480 00:59:31,130 --> 00:59:29,099 be okay with that and I think I've run 1481 00:59:33,950 --> 00:59:31,140 across other people you know in doing 1482 00:59:36,170 --> 00:59:33,960 this work who are the same way they're 1483 00:59:38,150 --> 00:59:36,180 just like you know and they sometimes 1484 00:59:39,950 --> 00:59:38,160 feel left out of the party you know why 1485 00:59:42,410 --> 00:59:39,960 isn't this happening to me well because 1486 00:59:43,849 --> 00:59:42,420 it's not supposed to happen to you yeah 1487 00:59:46,370 --> 00:59:43,859 what you're supposed to do because 1488 00:59:47,990 --> 00:59:46,380 that's what I think is is if I was gonna 1489 00:59:49,930 --> 00:59:48,000 kind of take what you're saying the 1490 00:59:54,109 --> 00:59:49,940 beauty of it is 1491 00:59:57,470 --> 00:59:54,119 these are Vinnie's lessons and they 1492 01:00:00,829 --> 00:59:57,480 chose this life to develop in the along 1493 01:00:04,250 --> 01:00:00,839 his spiritual path Alex chose his life 1494 01:00:06,049 --> 01:00:04,260 to develop along his spiritual path uh 1495 01:00:09,829 --> 01:00:06,059 again back to listen to the inner voice 1496 01:00:10,910 --> 01:00:09,839 says okay I get it I'm on a path I'm on 1497 01:00:13,609 --> 01:00:10,920 a journey 1498 01:00:16,190 --> 01:00:13,619 tell me what's next but if it doesn't 1499 01:00:17,470 --> 01:00:16,200 come through let's pull over at the 1500 01:00:20,510 --> 01:00:17,480 beginning 1501 01:00:23,569 --> 01:00:20,520 exactly I think that for you too a lot 1502 01:00:25,609 --> 01:00:23,579 of your intuition is is getting guests 1503 01:00:28,309 --> 01:00:25,619 how to get them when to get them where 1504 01:00:30,770 --> 01:00:28,319 to get them onto your show and and and 1505 01:00:33,049 --> 01:00:30,780 which ones not to have and that's where 1506 01:00:34,490 --> 01:00:33,059 your intuition is really and yours has 1507 01:00:35,870 --> 01:00:34,500 probably told you like three times why 1508 01:00:38,589 --> 01:00:35,880 the hell did you have this crazy guy 1509 01:00:43,190 --> 01:00:38,599 Vinnie on my show now just kidding 1510 01:00:46,430 --> 01:00:43,200 no I mean one I I don't I don't process 1511 01:00:49,730 --> 01:00:46,440 it quite that way but what I do lean 1512 01:00:53,210 --> 01:00:49,740 into more is that I need to do this just 1513 01:00:56,089 --> 01:00:53,220 the way that I did it and I need to at 1514 01:00:58,510 --> 01:00:56,099 the beginning say I don't need to 1515 01:01:02,870 --> 01:00:58,520 believe your story and you need to clear 1516 01:01:05,150 --> 01:01:02,880 that somebody doesn't need to hear this 1517 01:01:07,430 --> 01:01:05,160 churchy crap and just kind of roll over 1518 01:01:08,569 --> 01:01:07,440 and do it somebody needs to be able to 1519 01:01:11,030 --> 01:01:08,579 come at it 1520 01:01:12,650 --> 01:01:11,040 in a different perspective and your 1521 01:01:15,410 --> 01:01:12,660 message still needs to be able to 1522 01:01:17,150 --> 01:01:15,420 penetrate that and yes you're saying it 1523 01:01:18,650 --> 01:01:17,160 can and you're saying you're willing to 1524 01:01:20,089 --> 01:01:18,660 do that you're willing to listen to 1525 01:01:24,710 --> 01:01:20,099 somebody who's saying 1526 01:01:26,210 --> 01:01:24,720 I want to I want to uh but come come a 1527 01:01:28,130 --> 01:01:26,220 little bit this way and I think it's 1528 01:01:29,150 --> 01:01:28,140 awesome that at least at this point in 1529 01:01:31,490 --> 01:01:29,160 this interview 1530 01:01:32,690 --> 01:01:31,500 you're authentic you're like oh you want 1531 01:01:34,730 --> 01:01:32,700 me to step a little bit in that 1532 01:01:39,170 --> 01:01:34,740 direction I can do that but let's go on 1533 01:01:41,750 --> 01:01:39,180 to uh the purpose another point from the 1534 01:01:44,990 --> 01:01:41,760 10 lessons from the light after death 1535 01:01:47,930 --> 01:01:45,000 and again folks you get this book you'll 1536 01:01:50,510 --> 01:01:47,940 not be disappointed it's uh it's very 1537 01:01:55,089 --> 01:01:50,520 inspirational the story is like I say 1538 01:02:00,230 --> 01:01:57,309 literally 1539 01:02:03,589 --> 01:02:00,240 I mean the guy dies for an hour you know 1540 01:02:07,069 --> 01:02:03,599 you need to understand this nde and and 1541 01:02:10,670 --> 01:02:07,079 the paramedic is a rookie paramedic that 1542 01:02:13,250 --> 01:02:10,680 goes outside of total protocol and 1543 01:02:15,890 --> 01:02:13,260 literally Cuts him out of the body bag 1544 01:02:18,289 --> 01:02:15,900 to resuscitate him but here's the the 1545 01:02:22,130 --> 01:02:18,299 the last point on your things that I'm 1546 01:02:23,990 --> 01:02:22,140 gonna understand the purpose of evil so 1547 01:02:26,809 --> 01:02:24,000 I wrote a book A couple of years ago 1548 01:02:28,970 --> 01:02:26,819 called why evil matters and the premise 1549 01:02:31,690 --> 01:02:28,980 of the book was 1550 01:02:35,030 --> 01:02:31,700 we live in this kind of schizophrenic 1551 01:02:38,270 --> 01:02:35,040 culture in terms of dealing with evil 1552 01:02:41,270 --> 01:02:38,280 and we watched the Super Bowl halftime 1553 01:02:44,690 --> 01:02:41,280 show and you do it with a group of 1554 01:02:46,130 --> 01:02:44,700 people and you're like everyone's Jaws 1555 01:02:48,049 --> 01:02:46,140 dropping and they don't know how to say 1556 01:02:51,349 --> 01:02:48,059 it and go you're seeing what I'm it's 1557 01:02:53,270 --> 01:02:51,359 satanic it's completely satanic which we 1558 01:02:55,250 --> 01:02:53,280 got to be careful that's a very bibiley 1559 01:02:57,049 --> 01:02:55,260 kind of thing that doesn't translate 1560 01:02:58,910 --> 01:02:57,059 well when you really look at the history 1561 01:03:00,829 --> 01:02:58,920 of the Bible but we get the Darkness 1562 01:03:03,650 --> 01:03:00,839 thing right yeah there's Darkness there 1563 01:03:04,510 --> 01:03:03,660 yeah the Grammy's the same absolutely oh 1564 01:03:07,549 --> 01:03:04,520 yeah 1565 01:03:09,770 --> 01:03:07,559 so the schizophrenia is on one hand 1566 01:03:13,430 --> 01:03:09,780 they're so pulling it in One Direction 1567 01:03:15,530 --> 01:03:13,440 that it's just drop jaw obvious and at 1568 01:03:17,630 --> 01:03:15,540 the same time the whole underpinning of 1569 01:03:19,849 --> 01:03:17,640 our culture is we're atheistic we're 1570 01:03:22,730 --> 01:03:19,859 secular we're like there's no such thing 1571 01:03:24,890 --> 01:03:22,740 as evil evil is a social construct you 1572 01:03:27,589 --> 01:03:24,900 know it's not really we can't Point 1573 01:03:29,329 --> 01:03:27,599 anyone and say that's evil so we have 1574 01:03:32,030 --> 01:03:29,339 that on one hand and then on the other 1575 01:03:35,569 --> 01:03:32,040 hand we have people who are religious 1576 01:03:37,370 --> 01:03:35,579 and say oh evil I got that I'll tell you 1577 01:03:39,710 --> 01:03:37,380 right here let me pull out my book and 1578 01:03:42,890 --> 01:03:39,720 I'll tell you chapter and verse what 1579 01:03:45,950 --> 01:03:42,900 evil is I I think for most thinking 1580 01:03:48,170 --> 01:03:45,960 people and I think my interpretation of 1581 01:03:49,970 --> 01:03:48,180 your book would fall in this category of 1582 01:03:52,730 --> 01:03:49,980 with hero I think you'd be aligned with 1583 01:03:55,549 --> 01:03:52,740 me is that's an inadequate starting 1584 01:03:57,530 --> 01:03:55,559 point you know is to say there's no such 1585 01:04:00,170 --> 01:03:57,540 thing as evil it's just a social 1586 01:04:02,569 --> 01:04:00,180 construct there's nothing real to it and 1587 01:04:05,510 --> 01:04:02,579 saying it can all it can be nailed down 1588 01:04:08,870 --> 01:04:05,520 in this very specific way and I agree 1589 01:04:11,750 --> 01:04:08,880 that the evil Israel that for us to say 1590 01:04:15,109 --> 01:04:11,760 that there is no evil then we're on 1591 01:04:16,849 --> 01:04:15,119 Evil's side I I really believe that it's 1592 01:04:18,530 --> 01:04:16,859 almost like I'm on the side of the 1593 01:04:20,930 --> 01:04:18,540 threat I don't want you to think that 1594 01:04:22,849 --> 01:04:20,940 this threat exists that that to me is 1595 01:04:26,390 --> 01:04:22,859 what evil wants evil wants us to believe 1596 01:04:29,390 --> 01:04:26,400 it doesn't exist but I also want to you 1597 01:04:31,549 --> 01:04:29,400 know I used to study about World War II 1598 01:04:34,030 --> 01:04:31,559 and Germany and the Weimar Republic and 1599 01:04:38,150 --> 01:04:34,040 what what happened to Germany to put 1600 01:04:40,549 --> 01:04:38,160 Hitler and to put the Nazis in power and 1601 01:04:43,510 --> 01:04:40,559 I thought never in my life will I ever 1602 01:04:47,569 --> 01:04:43,520 see that much 1603 01:04:48,950 --> 01:04:47,579 Freedom being given away to one fascist 1604 01:04:52,670 --> 01:04:48,960 leader 1605 01:04:55,130 --> 01:04:52,680 and and yet I watched so many freedoms 1606 01:04:58,309 --> 01:04:55,140 disappear undercovered under the guise 1607 01:04:59,930 --> 01:04:58,319 of fear I watched everybody lining up to 1608 01:05:03,109 --> 01:04:59,940 give away their freedoms because they 1609 01:05:05,030 --> 01:05:03,119 they were so afraid of the outcome 1610 01:05:06,230 --> 01:05:05,040 and it was almost like the boogeyman 1611 01:05:08,210 --> 01:05:06,240 syndrome 1612 01:05:10,730 --> 01:05:08,220 where as long as you could keep in 1613 01:05:13,130 --> 01:05:10,740 control of the new Boogeyman you were in 1614 01:05:17,150 --> 01:05:13,140 control of the people and and that's 1615 01:05:20,270 --> 01:05:17,160 what I I saw in in that cycle repeating 1616 01:05:21,530 --> 01:05:20,280 of what I saw happen in in studying what 1617 01:05:23,150 --> 01:05:21,540 happened in Germany because that's 1618 01:05:25,549 --> 01:05:23,160 exactly what happened on Germany that 1619 01:05:28,430 --> 01:05:25,559 that once they decided the boogeyman was 1620 01:05:31,250 --> 01:05:28,440 this they could go and start taking that 1621 01:05:34,190 --> 01:05:31,260 out and and that happened to be a whole 1622 01:05:36,589 --> 01:05:34,200 class and culture and religion of people 1623 01:05:39,770 --> 01:05:36,599 and and that's not the reality that's 1624 01:05:41,569 --> 01:05:39,780 not any type of reality but but where EV 1625 01:05:44,030 --> 01:05:41,579 evil is real is 1626 01:05:46,430 --> 01:05:44,040 to have life and not have evil would be 1627 01:05:48,170 --> 01:05:46,440 like having a gym with no equipment 1628 01:05:50,510 --> 01:05:48,180 see that slightly differently and let me 1629 01:05:52,970 --> 01:05:50,520 tie it back to the point we just talked 1630 01:05:53,870 --> 01:05:52,980 about and that is listen to your inner 1631 01:05:55,910 --> 01:05:53,880 voice 1632 01:05:58,010 --> 01:05:55,920 what I think 1633 01:05:59,329 --> 01:05:58,020 is my experience and so many people I've 1634 01:06:02,510 --> 01:05:59,339 talked to is 1635 01:06:05,930 --> 01:06:02,520 you think I don't know evil I know evil 1636 01:06:08,210 --> 01:06:05,940 every day multiple times a day when that 1637 01:06:11,990 --> 01:06:08,220 thought comes in my head to be to be 1638 01:06:14,750 --> 01:06:12,000 angry to be vengeful to me it it's there 1639 01:06:16,549 --> 01:06:14,760 every day alls I have to do is scratch 1640 01:06:18,770 --> 01:06:16,559 that itch you know you go listen to 1641 01:06:21,349 --> 01:06:18,780 serial killers and their True 1642 01:06:23,150 --> 01:06:21,359 Confessions a lot of them will say hey 1643 01:06:25,609 --> 01:06:23,160 it started out when I was a little kid 1644 01:06:27,829 --> 01:06:25,619 and I you know went down this path if I 1645 01:06:29,809 --> 01:06:27,839 had this kind of sexual thing that I 1646 01:06:31,789 --> 01:06:29,819 wasn't and I did it and then I did this 1647 01:06:33,890 --> 01:06:31,799 and then the next thing I did this and 1648 01:06:35,750 --> 01:06:33,900 then it becomes an obsession which we 1649 01:06:38,270 --> 01:06:35,760 all can relate to go look at you know 1650 01:06:41,930 --> 01:06:38,280 people who are obsessed with eating or 1651 01:06:43,970 --> 01:06:41,940 porn or all it's drugs you know I get it 1652 01:06:45,289 --> 01:06:43,980 you don't think we get it we all get it 1653 01:06:46,730 --> 01:06:45,299 that's why we're that's why you're 1654 01:06:49,670 --> 01:06:46,740 meditating that's why you're doing all 1655 01:06:52,490 --> 01:06:49,680 this other stuff I think it's so common 1656 01:06:55,069 --> 01:06:52,500 that we we lose sight of it and that 1657 01:06:56,990 --> 01:06:55,079 feeling of needing control why like 1658 01:07:01,069 --> 01:06:57,000 you're just saying wanting control from 1659 01:07:02,450 --> 01:07:01,079 that crazy voice I I totally think that 1660 01:07:05,029 --> 01:07:02,460 that is 1661 01:07:06,529 --> 01:07:05,039 the road to the to the whole thing well 1662 01:07:09,349 --> 01:07:06,539 what do you think about that 1663 01:07:11,630 --> 01:07:09,359 I think that definitely that where all 1664 01:07:14,210 --> 01:07:11,640 of us all every single one of us are are 1665 01:07:16,069 --> 01:07:14,220 a yin and yang in ourselves that we we 1666 01:07:18,589 --> 01:07:16,079 have the propensity for good and bad 1667 01:07:20,210 --> 01:07:18,599 every single one of us do for evil and 1668 01:07:22,130 --> 01:07:20,220 for good you know I'm gonna call evil 1669 01:07:24,470 --> 01:07:22,140 and love for me those are the two 1670 01:07:27,470 --> 01:07:24,480 opposite forces love force and evil or 1671 01:07:30,589 --> 01:07:27,480 fear voice fear of force the that's what 1672 01:07:33,049 --> 01:07:30,599 causes us typically to to lash out and 1673 01:07:35,270 --> 01:07:33,059 do evil things is it some type of fear 1674 01:07:37,670 --> 01:07:35,280 some type of reaction it's definitely 1675 01:07:39,650 --> 01:07:37,680 not a love thing but sometimes what will 1676 01:07:42,049 --> 01:07:39,660 happen is people will get addicted to 1677 01:07:43,970 --> 01:07:42,059 the adrenaline they feel when they're in 1678 01:07:46,190 --> 01:07:43,980 that fearful State and that's what 1679 01:07:49,250 --> 01:07:46,200 causes them to take these crazy steps of 1680 01:07:51,770 --> 01:07:49,260 becoming serial killers but you know the 1681 01:07:54,289 --> 01:07:51,780 the hard part for us to understand is we 1682 01:07:56,450 --> 01:07:54,299 are living in a microcosm of of 1683 01:07:59,809 --> 01:07:56,460 existence in our world 1684 01:08:02,210 --> 01:07:59,819 and in the macrocosm of Life stepping 1685 01:08:04,609 --> 01:08:02,220 aback and realizing that our entire 1686 01:08:06,950 --> 01:08:04,619 existence here is very finite and very 1687 01:08:08,990 --> 01:08:06,960 very minuscule compared to our real 1688 01:08:11,930 --> 01:08:09,000 existence of Eternity 1689 01:08:15,170 --> 01:08:11,940 and you know understanding that and 1690 01:08:17,930 --> 01:08:15,180 understanding we can put a theme on what 1691 01:08:21,349 --> 01:08:17,940 we spend our time with here we can 1692 01:08:23,269 --> 01:08:21,359 choose that theme of Love or fear it's 1693 01:08:25,610 --> 01:08:23,279 totally up to us 1694 01:08:28,669 --> 01:08:25,620 and we can do good and bad out of both 1695 01:08:30,950 --> 01:08:28,679 energies uh but but you can only get so 1696 01:08:33,890 --> 01:08:30,960 much good out of the fear energy then it 1697 01:08:37,189 --> 01:08:33,900 ends up lapsing into a very bad dark 1698 01:08:39,829 --> 01:08:37,199 energy and and the love energy you can 1699 01:08:41,930 --> 01:08:39,839 do a lot of good and as long as you stay 1700 01:08:44,630 --> 01:08:41,940 love centered you can continue to do a 1701 01:08:47,930 --> 01:08:44,640 lot of good and and bring forth a lot of 1702 01:08:50,329 --> 01:08:47,940 energy in a good way now the whole thing 1703 01:08:51,829 --> 01:08:50,339 is why are we here is we're here so that 1704 01:08:54,769 --> 01:08:51,839 we can learn how to choose between the 1705 01:08:57,349 --> 01:08:54,779 two but to to have the two choices you 1706 01:08:59,390 --> 01:08:57,359 have to have the evil you have to it has 1707 01:09:03,229 --> 01:08:59,400 to be the other the option 1708 01:09:05,930 --> 01:09:03,239 but to to take evil off the table and to 1709 01:09:07,849 --> 01:09:05,940 only have good options is again like 1710 01:09:10,189 --> 01:09:07,859 walking into a gym where there's no 1711 01:09:12,650 --> 01:09:10,199 equipment there's no resistance there's 1712 01:09:15,530 --> 01:09:12,660 nothing exercising that agency muscle 1713 01:09:17,749 --> 01:09:15,540 that ability to make the choice 1714 01:09:19,550 --> 01:09:17,759 and that's what this is we're here at 1715 01:09:22,010 --> 01:09:19,560 Earth School I call it Earth School 1716 01:09:23,990 --> 01:09:22,020 we're here at Earth school so we can 1717 01:09:27,410 --> 01:09:24,000 learn how to to make choices make 1718 01:09:29,090 --> 01:09:27,420 decisions and and choose between the the 1719 01:09:31,490 --> 01:09:29,100 love and the fear 1720 01:09:33,410 --> 01:09:31,500 and the more we choose the love it the 1721 01:09:35,510 --> 01:09:33,420 easier it is to love the more we choose 1722 01:09:38,870 --> 01:09:35,520 the fear the easier it is for easier it 1723 01:09:41,689 --> 01:09:38,880 is for us to hate to ostracize push away 1724 01:09:44,209 --> 01:09:41,699 and damage others so it's it's important 1725 01:09:47,510 --> 01:09:44,219 for us it's important for us to choose 1726 01:09:49,729 --> 01:09:47,520 choose what we feel is is our best path 1727 01:09:51,650 --> 01:09:49,739 and that's what we're here to do it's 1728 01:09:53,390 --> 01:09:51,660 just it is sad when some people and this 1729 01:09:55,430 --> 01:09:53,400 is no judgment but some people they will 1730 01:09:57,830 --> 01:09:55,440 they will continue down that fear path 1731 01:10:00,830 --> 01:09:57,840 and never leave they love the power of 1732 01:10:02,570 --> 01:10:00,840 fear they really do and whether it's an 1733 01:10:05,270 --> 01:10:02,580 outward power or inward power doesn't 1734 01:10:07,010 --> 01:10:05,280 matter they really love that power and 1735 01:10:09,050 --> 01:10:07,020 and I think those are the real evil 1736 01:10:13,270 --> 01:10:09,060 people because on you know they go out 1737 01:10:18,110 --> 01:10:13,280 in public and they live this you know 1738 01:10:20,870 --> 01:10:18,120 normal looking life but yet behind drawn 1739 01:10:23,510 --> 01:10:20,880 curtains and behind closed doors they're 1740 01:10:26,390 --> 01:10:23,520 a very different person but I think in 1741 01:10:28,550 --> 01:10:26,400 the authentic moment of today we're 1742 01:10:31,370 --> 01:10:28,560 starting to see these dark people come 1743 01:10:33,530 --> 01:10:31,380 out from their closets come out from 1744 01:10:36,050 --> 01:10:33,540 their dark rooms come out from their 1745 01:10:37,669 --> 01:10:36,060 their drawn curtains and be their evil 1746 01:10:40,610 --> 01:10:37,679 selves in front of everyone 1747 01:10:42,950 --> 01:10:40,620 and we're in in a more authentic nature 1748 01:10:45,709 --> 01:10:42,960 now maybe it might be an artistic nature 1749 01:10:48,110 --> 01:10:45,719 it's still authentic it is 1750 01:10:49,790 --> 01:10:48,120 for them to show that 1751 01:10:52,430 --> 01:10:49,800 I'm with you to a certain extent one of 1752 01:10:55,570 --> 01:10:52,440 the things I like to kind of hope people 1753 01:10:57,890 --> 01:10:55,580 with is slavery in the United States 1754 01:11:00,410 --> 01:10:57,900 Frederick Douglass tells a story about 1755 01:11:02,450 --> 01:11:00,420 being in slavery and all those good 1756 01:11:04,850 --> 01:11:02,460 church people coming back on Sunday and 1757 01:11:07,250 --> 01:11:04,860 sitting down why the slaves come in 1758 01:11:09,290 --> 01:11:07,260 serve them and you know then taking that 1759 01:11:12,110 --> 01:11:09,300 woman out the back and doing what they 1760 01:11:13,610 --> 01:11:12,120 do all that stuff and it's like that's 1761 01:11:16,790 --> 01:11:13,620 not satanic 1762 01:11:19,510 --> 01:11:16,800 slavery for hundreds of years or on our 1763 01:11:22,189 --> 01:11:19,520 recent Abu gray are those images 1764 01:11:27,890 --> 01:11:22,199 chiseled in your brain how many babies 1765 01:11:30,229 --> 01:11:27,900 did we kill in Iraq in Afghanistan 1766 01:11:34,669 --> 01:11:30,239 really this is what we're going to focus 1767 01:11:36,709 --> 01:11:34,679 on is our little gripe with Hollywood or 1768 01:11:38,810 --> 01:11:36,719 whatever no no that's a little gripe I 1769 01:11:40,669 --> 01:11:38,820 just think it it's at a different it's 1770 01:11:42,830 --> 01:11:40,679 at a whole different level than when we 1771 01:11:44,990 --> 01:11:42,840 kind of want to chunk it down and say 1772 01:11:45,890 --> 01:11:45,000 this is it or this is happening now it's 1773 01:11:48,169 --> 01:11:45,900 like 1774 01:11:50,149 --> 01:11:48,179 I think as our as our culture the 1775 01:11:52,970 --> 01:11:50,159 specifically the American West culture 1776 01:11:55,130 --> 01:11:52,980 itself the westernized culture on on the 1777 01:11:57,830 --> 01:11:55,140 surface we've been doing quote unquote 1778 01:11:59,870 --> 01:11:57,840 good things but we've also been getting 1779 01:12:01,729 --> 01:11:59,880 in good Wars there's no such thing 1780 01:12:03,890 --> 01:12:01,739 there's no such thing as a good War 1781 01:12:06,530 --> 01:12:03,900 that's a that's a dark check that's an 1782 01:12:09,770 --> 01:12:06,540 evil check being cast out the front door 1783 01:12:11,570 --> 01:12:09,780 to to go to war over over objects over 1784 01:12:13,310 --> 01:12:11,580 oil over whatever 1785 01:12:14,990 --> 01:12:13,320 and and we're going to call it Freedom 1786 01:12:16,370 --> 01:12:15,000 defending Freedom somehow and saying no 1787 01:12:17,870 --> 01:12:16,380 that's not the case yeah but you know 1788 01:12:19,970 --> 01:12:17,880 what those commies I mean that's why I 1789 01:12:21,290 --> 01:12:19,980 use the matsutung example because a lot 1790 01:12:23,390 --> 01:12:21,300 of leftist people they want to forget 1791 01:12:26,630 --> 01:12:23,400 about that that kind of the atheist 1792 01:12:28,550 --> 01:12:26,640 stuff that does not work on so many No 1793 01:12:31,729 --> 01:12:28,560 in fact you have fascism you have 1794 01:12:34,610 --> 01:12:31,739 socialism both to me either one is evil 1795 01:12:36,470 --> 01:12:34,620 because you've got mankind choosing who 1796 01:12:39,950 --> 01:12:36,480 eats and who survives 1797 01:12:43,490 --> 01:12:39,960 and and that's where you have problems 1798 01:12:46,250 --> 01:12:43,500 because we're we're suscept to fear all 1799 01:12:48,290 --> 01:12:46,260 of us are all of us are if you study you 1800 01:12:50,330 --> 01:12:48,300 know Stalin what he did he he 1801 01:12:52,729 --> 01:12:50,340 essentially didn't like uh an entire 1802 01:12:54,290 --> 01:12:52,739 part of his own country and decided I'm 1803 01:12:56,750 --> 01:12:54,300 gonna not even allow these potato 1804 01:12:59,149 --> 01:12:56,760 Farmers to eat their own potatoes they 1805 01:13:01,189 --> 01:12:59,159 starved with with bags of potatoes in 1806 01:13:03,649 --> 01:13:01,199 their own possession but it was illegal 1807 01:13:05,390 --> 01:13:03,659 for them to eat one and they knew that 1808 01:13:07,430 --> 01:13:05,400 not only would they would be killed but 1809 01:13:09,830 --> 01:13:07,440 their entire family would be killed if 1810 01:13:13,550 --> 01:13:09,840 they were caught eating one potato 1811 01:13:16,130 --> 01:13:13,560 so whole entire segment of the Russian 1812 01:13:18,649 --> 01:13:16,140 population died 1813 01:13:20,810 --> 01:13:18,659 while holding food but was not allowed 1814 01:13:23,030 --> 01:13:20,820 to cook it or eat it is it okay to do 1815 01:13:25,250 --> 01:13:23,040 whatever we have to to stop that 1816 01:13:28,610 --> 01:13:25,260 It's Tricky is it okay to do a project 1817 01:13:31,070 --> 01:13:28,620 paper clip really so it's okay Werner 1818 01:13:33,470 --> 01:13:31,080 Von Braun over here you know to the 1819 01:13:36,649 --> 01:13:33,480 United States Verner Von Braun who you 1820 01:13:39,110 --> 01:13:36,659 know by the way hung the Jewish workers 1821 01:13:41,990 --> 01:13:39,120 who didn't work fast enough in front of 1822 01:13:43,970 --> 01:13:42,000 the factory he was a Nazis Nazi friend 1823 01:13:46,610 --> 01:13:43,980 with Hitler you know early on in the 1824 01:13:49,189 --> 01:13:46,620 game so it's okay you know hey we have 1825 01:13:52,430 --> 01:13:49,199 to fight tonight guys you know I I don't 1826 01:13:55,189 --> 01:13:52,440 see how we how we sort that out on any 1827 01:13:57,110 --> 01:13:55,199 kind of logical level those are God 1828 01:13:59,689 --> 01:13:57,120 problems that's why I say you know the 1829 01:14:02,510 --> 01:13:59,699 yeah I'm always leery of that God is on 1830 01:14:04,669 --> 01:14:02,520 our side God wants us you know to fight 1831 01:14:06,590 --> 01:14:04,679 just this one time you know God needs 1832 01:14:09,890 --> 01:14:06,600 our help just this month you know just 1833 01:14:11,810 --> 01:14:09,900 needs a little push yeah and you look 1834 01:14:14,149 --> 01:14:11,820 even back to the holy Inquisition when 1835 01:14:17,570 --> 01:14:14,159 when supposedly that was God's Army 1836 01:14:19,810 --> 01:14:17,580 taking out all the all the Heretics and 1837 01:14:22,189 --> 01:14:19,820 the witches and and all sorts of 1838 01:14:26,090 --> 01:14:22,199 non-believers because they were saying 1839 01:14:28,729 --> 01:14:26,100 the Earth was round oh heaven forbid 1840 01:14:31,390 --> 01:14:28,739 you know so uh there there is there's a 1841 01:14:33,550 --> 01:14:31,400 lot of time where people are 1842 01:14:36,169 --> 01:14:33,560 misinterpreting God really 1843 01:14:37,610 --> 01:14:36,179 misinterpreting God because I I fully 1844 01:14:39,709 --> 01:14:37,620 don't believe that God would be out 1845 01:14:41,450 --> 01:14:39,719 there wanting us the in worst the the 1846 01:14:43,669 --> 01:14:41,460 God that I experienced 1847 01:14:45,229 --> 01:14:43,679 that I experienced on the other side is 1848 01:14:48,350 --> 01:14:45,239 not a God of War 1849 01:14:49,250 --> 01:14:48,360 it's not the only God of War is fear 100 1850 01:14:51,110 --> 01:14:49,260 percent 1851 01:14:53,570 --> 01:14:51,120 and if we keep ourself in a state of 1852 01:14:55,370 --> 01:14:53,580 fear we'll always be at War 1853 01:14:58,610 --> 01:14:55,380 we'll always be at War 1854 01:15:00,350 --> 01:14:58,620 I don't know I I do believe I do believe 1855 01:15:01,970 --> 01:15:00,360 that we have to we have to stop 1856 01:15:04,130 --> 01:15:01,980 wrongdoing when we know what's going on 1857 01:15:06,830 --> 01:15:04,140 absolutely we have to do our best but 1858 01:15:09,229 --> 01:15:06,840 but to me there's also stuff that is is 1859 01:15:11,090 --> 01:15:09,239 handled Beyond this life a lot of things 1860 01:15:13,550 --> 01:15:11,100 that are handled Beyond this life and 1861 01:15:14,990 --> 01:15:13,560 that's where the Justice comes in with 1862 01:15:17,209 --> 01:15:15,000 God 1863 01:15:20,209 --> 01:15:17,219 um because to to start creating Justice 1864 01:15:22,310 --> 01:15:20,219 here you're removing people's agency and 1865 01:15:24,649 --> 01:15:22,320 that's the whole reason we're here we're 1866 01:15:26,630 --> 01:15:24,659 here to have the agencies to grow to 1867 01:15:29,330 --> 01:15:26,640 learn how to use it because when we're 1868 01:15:31,189 --> 01:15:29,340 near God when we're near God we are in 1869 01:15:33,709 --> 01:15:31,199 such synchronicity with each other as 1870 01:15:36,470 --> 01:15:33,719 far as anything God wants we want 1871 01:15:38,750 --> 01:15:36,480 because that's so much that love that is 1872 01:15:40,970 --> 01:15:38,760 there between us that anything God wants 1873 01:15:43,010 --> 01:15:40,980 we want we love God so much 1874 01:15:44,990 --> 01:15:43,020 and we even to come here we have to 1875 01:15:47,149 --> 01:15:45,000 forget that love because it's so strong 1876 01:15:48,229 --> 01:15:47,159 that if we could remember how much we 1877 01:15:50,209 --> 01:15:48,239 love each other 1878 01:15:51,890 --> 01:15:50,219 we would start doing everything we would 1879 01:15:54,169 --> 01:15:51,900 we're supposed to do without any agency 1880 01:15:56,209 --> 01:15:54,179 would just do it because we love God so 1881 01:15:57,770 --> 01:15:56,219 much we love our creator so much 1882 01:16:00,590 --> 01:15:57,780 so that's the whole reason we're here 1883 01:16:03,050 --> 01:16:00,600 Earth School is is to forget how much we 1884 01:16:05,270 --> 01:16:03,060 love our father love our our creator 1885 01:16:06,950 --> 01:16:05,280 come here make decisions learn how to 1886 01:16:08,810 --> 01:16:06,960 make decisions and go back at least 1887 01:16:09,970 --> 01:16:08,820 that's one man's perspective my 1888 01:16:11,890 --> 01:16:09,980 perspective 1889 01:16:14,510 --> 01:16:11,900 I got you 1890 01:16:17,570 --> 01:16:14,520 this stuff has been hashed around for 1891 01:16:20,169 --> 01:16:17,580 hundreds of years oh yeah thousands of 1892 01:16:22,330 --> 01:16:20,179 years yeah so so Vinnie

when I listen to 1946 01:18:21,709 --> 01:18:19,320 podcasts but 1947 01:18:23,630 --> 01:18:21,719 I don't know whatever there's a barrier 1948 01:18:26,450 --> 01:18:23,640 there that a lot of people don't want to 1949 01:18:27,830 --> 01:18:26,460 step past so that's fine too but the 1950 01:18:30,169 --> 01:18:27,840 question is 1951 01:18:33,290 --> 01:18:30,179 how do we figure out whether those 1952 01:18:37,550 --> 01:18:33,300 lessons those rules we're getting are 1953 01:18:39,890 --> 01:18:37,560 meant for us or they're meant for us and 1954 01:18:42,050 --> 01:18:39,900 everybody else too 1955 01:18:46,010 --> 01:18:42,060 I think we're all tempted to interpret 1956 01:18:48,950 --> 01:18:46,020 them both ways and I know I do a lot of 1957 01:18:52,669 --> 01:18:48,960 times so how do you do it let me know
