1
00:00:21,070 --> 00:00:18,880
my name is Patrick Andres and the point

2
00:00:23,730 --> 00:00:21,080
that I always go back to when I think

3
00:00:26,589 --> 00:00:23,740
about how I got started in my field is

4
00:00:29,319 --> 00:00:26,599
probably when I was about 12 years old I

5
00:00:30,700 --> 00:00:29,329
think I was at that point when most

6
00:00:34,509 --> 00:00:30,710
people start thinking about what they

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:34,519
want to do with their lives and so the

8
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:36,290
one thing that I kept coming back to is

9
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:37,489
that whatever I did I wanted to be

10
00:00:42,430 --> 00:00:40,550
really good at it and the thing that I

11
00:00:44,590 --> 00:00:42,440
noticed is that whenever people would

12
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:44,600
become really proficient at anything in

13
00:00:50,380 --> 00:00:46,610
their lives whether a musician or an

14
00:00:53,380 --> 00:00:50,390
artist or an athlete that they choose a

15
00:00:57,910 --> 00:00:53,390
single point of focus and they stay with

16
00:01:00,969 --> 00:00:57,920
that and work on that just day after day

17
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:00,979
after day but one of the problems that I

18
00:01:03,729 --> 00:01:02,330
had was that I had a lot of different

19
00:01:05,170 --> 00:01:03,739
interests and so I thought well how

20
00:01:07,929 --> 00:01:05,180
could I pursue all these different

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:07,939
interests if I have to choose one thing

22
00:01:10,719 --> 00:01:09,170
I just couldn't really see myself

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:10,729
choosing one thing and having to stick

24
00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:14,650
with that so what I realized was if I

25
00:01:20,050 --> 00:01:18,590
chose to develop my mind that everything

26
00:01:22,450 --> 00:01:20,060
else that I did in my life would improve

27
00:01:24,970 --> 00:01:22,460
so that's where I think I really got the

28
00:01:26,410 --> 00:01:24,980
inspiration to start learning how to

29
00:01:29,820 --> 00:01:26,420
develop my mind and learning how to

30
00:01:32,530 --> 00:01:29,830
learn and improve myself so that

31
00:01:37,690 --> 00:01:32,540
everything else that I did would improve

32
00:01:39,940 --> 00:01:37,700
and so I developed this idea that you

33
00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:39,950
know if you master your mind you can be

34
00:01:42,610 --> 00:01:41,630
the master of everything else in your

35
00:01:44,590 --> 00:01:42,620
life and that's really where the

36
00:01:47,620 --> 00:01:44,600
inspiration began that didn't really

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:47,630
come into full development till later I

38
00:01:53,380 --> 00:01:51,130
think when I was in college I started

39
00:01:54,670 --> 00:01:53,390
attracting some friends and being

40
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:54,680
attracted to some friends to where we

41
00:01:58,539 --> 00:01:56,690
would talk about the mind we start

42
00:01:59,890 --> 00:01:58,549
getting into some paranormal abilities

43
00:02:02,789 --> 00:01:59,900
and things like that and that's where my

44
00:02:06,430 --> 00:02:02,799
I really consider my my formal

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:06,440
exploration began but the the initial

46
00:02:10,749 --> 00:02:08,810
thought definitely was when I was

47
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:10,759
younger and I believe firmly that that

48
00:02:14,259 --> 00:02:12,290
we'd come into this life with a life

49
00:02:16,420 --> 00:02:14,269
mission something that we really want to

50
00:02:18,789 --> 00:02:16,430
accomplish while we're here and for me

51
00:02:21,430 --> 00:02:18,799
it's it's learning how to develop my

52
00:02:24,099 --> 00:02:21,440
mind and master all those abilities that

53
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:24,109
we have that are inherent which includes

54
00:02:28,190 --> 00:02:25,530
you know the

55
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:28,200
foreign realms of our intuition and also

56
00:02:31,699 --> 00:02:29,610
just kind of the normal everyday

57
00:02:35,210 --> 00:02:31,709
abilities that we use on a regular basis

58
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:35,220
and also to help other people to develop

59
00:02:43,370 --> 00:02:40,890
that too so the first book is naked in

60
00:02:45,559 --> 00:02:43,380
public dream symbols revealed and that

61
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:45,569
is a book that I co-wrote with my wife

62
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:49,530
Katherine and Rees and dreams is

63
00:02:55,699 --> 00:02:52,890
something that is a very common topic

64
00:03:00,380 --> 00:02:55,709
that people ask about and it's something

65
00:03:02,420 --> 00:03:00,390
that I think is a very common and

66
00:03:04,130 --> 00:03:02,430
natural experience that we all have most

67
00:03:06,670 --> 00:03:04,140
people can remember a dream that they've

68
00:03:10,580 --> 00:03:06,680
had at some point in their lives

69
00:03:12,860 --> 00:03:10,590
but most people are still kind of

70
00:03:14,870 --> 00:03:12,870
baffled by what that really means so

71
00:03:18,770 --> 00:03:14,880
we've been studying dreams for well over

72
00:03:21,470 --> 00:03:18,780
20 years now and have found that those

73
00:03:24,199 --> 00:03:21,480
messages that we receive at night have a

74
00:03:26,930 --> 00:03:24,209
message that we can use throughout the

75
00:03:28,460 --> 00:03:26,940
day to help us improve in our lives

76
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:28,470
become more aware of things that are

77
00:03:33,259 --> 00:03:31,530
going on and so as we start to delve

78
00:03:35,289 --> 00:03:33,269
into that we can start to actually apply

79
00:03:38,060 --> 00:03:35,299
those messages to make some positive

80
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:38,070
improvements in our lives so that's

81
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:39,510
really where the inspiration for that

82
00:03:45,890 --> 00:03:43,650
book came from and that was a a project

83
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:45,900
that we worked on together so we we

84
00:03:50,930 --> 00:03:48,570
combined our we chat about 20 years of

85
00:03:54,380 --> 00:03:50,940
experience we combined our expertise

86
00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:54,390
together to not only create what we

87
00:03:59,810 --> 00:03:57,840
consider to be a really strong basic

88
00:04:02,360 --> 00:03:59,820
foundation of understanding dreams how

89
00:04:04,670 --> 00:04:02,370
dreams work in the process as well as

90
00:04:07,370 --> 00:04:04,680
starting to understand the the message

91
00:04:09,259 --> 00:04:07,380
that dreams come in which we call that

92
00:04:13,690 --> 00:04:09,269
the the language of the mind because the

93
00:04:17,390 --> 00:04:13,700
mind communicates in images and so

94
00:04:18,590 --> 00:04:17,400
whenever you kind of observe what's

95
00:04:19,039 --> 00:04:18,600
happening in your mind when you're

96
00:04:20,539 --> 00:04:19,049
speaking

97
00:04:21,770 --> 00:04:20,549
there's always an image that you have in

98
00:04:25,340 --> 00:04:21,780
your mind first and then your words

99
00:04:27,409 --> 00:04:25,350
really describe what that is and so

100
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:27,419
that's how dreams are communicated to us

101
00:04:33,190 --> 00:04:30,210
in that image form so understanding just

102
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:33,200
that basic process is the first start

103
00:04:38,559 --> 00:04:37,500
but then I find that another point

104
00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:38,569
that's really important

105
00:04:41,679 --> 00:04:39,919
is to understand that we're spiritual

106
00:04:43,809 --> 00:04:41,689
beings too we're not just physical

107
00:04:46,450 --> 00:04:43,819
beings and so the context of the dreams

108
00:04:48,070 --> 00:04:46,460
really changes for example when we're

109
00:04:52,239 --> 00:04:48,080
dreaming about death

110
00:04:53,859 --> 00:04:52,249
as a spiritual being as a soul death has

111
00:04:55,689 --> 00:04:53,869
a completely different context because

112
00:04:58,260 --> 00:04:55,699
it isn't the end is just a

113
00:05:01,089 --> 00:04:58,270
transformation from one state to another

114
00:05:03,699 --> 00:05:01,099
so the soul doesn't get all caught up in

115
00:05:05,589 --> 00:05:03,709
all the drama that we have when we look

116
00:05:08,589 --> 00:05:05,599
at death and illness and things like

117
00:05:11,829 --> 00:05:08,599
that so that context changes everything

118
00:05:13,929 --> 00:05:11,839
when you look at the dream so we felt

119
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:13,939
that was a really important topic for

120
00:05:17,139 --> 00:05:15,770
people in a really good starting point

121
00:05:19,409 --> 00:05:17,149
for people to understand more about

122
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:19,419
their spirituality and and their

123
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:22,999
spiritual existence and life so as we

124
00:05:27,159 --> 00:05:24,770
start to interpret our dreams and

125
00:05:30,149 --> 00:05:27,169
understand that process you know it's

126
00:05:32,469 --> 00:05:30,159
kind of a gateway into some of the more

127
00:05:35,739 --> 00:05:32,479
in-depth intuitive experiences that we

128
00:05:38,109 --> 00:05:35,749
have so my second book which I authored

129
00:05:41,589 --> 00:05:38,119
by myself is called owners manual for

130
00:05:45,009 --> 00:05:41,599
the mind and that book really started

131
00:05:47,049 --> 00:05:45,019
with a single thought which was what

132
00:05:48,549 --> 00:05:47,059
would our lives be like if we had been

133
00:05:53,019 --> 00:05:48,559
given an owner's manual when we were

134
00:05:56,199 --> 00:05:53,029
born and it really speaks to my life

135
00:05:58,269 --> 00:05:56,209
mission and really encapsulates my life

136
00:06:02,199 --> 00:05:58,279
mission and that was really intention of

137
00:06:04,779 --> 00:06:02,209
it it is about a 10-year project that

138
00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:04,789
that is the culmination of all of the

139
00:06:08,679 --> 00:06:06,409
things that I've been teaching for the

140
00:06:12,929 --> 00:06:08,689
past 20 years or a little bit more than

141
00:06:17,409 --> 00:06:12,939
20 years now and it really is designed

142
00:06:19,420 --> 00:06:17,419
to work for the people who have never

143
00:06:21,850 --> 00:06:19,430
really thought about intuitive abilities

144
00:06:24,100 --> 00:06:21,860
before or how the mind works or anything

145
00:06:27,909 --> 00:06:24,110
like that but also to give a lot of meat

146
00:06:29,829 --> 00:06:27,919
and useful information to people who are

147
00:06:33,549 --> 00:06:29,839
more experienced also who have been

148
00:06:35,499 --> 00:06:33,559
using their intuition and and maybe have

149
00:06:37,540 --> 00:06:35,509
some more experience with meditation and

150
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:37,550
visualization and and things like that

151
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:40,610
so it's it's got some good information

152
00:06:45,659 --> 00:06:42,649
in there for just about everybody but

153
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:45,669
the idea again is really coming back to

154
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:48,889
who are we and who we are we are

155
00:06:51,940 --> 00:06:50,930
spiritual beings who are having this

156
00:06:55,750 --> 00:06:51,950
experience

157
00:06:58,540 --> 00:06:55,760
on earth and as spiritual beings it's

158
00:07:01,030 --> 00:06:58,550
understanding that our mind is

159
00:07:03,850 --> 00:07:01,040
inherently a creative mechanism and so

160
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:03,860
we are creators and we are patterned

161
00:07:08,890 --> 00:07:07,370
after our Creator just like children are

162
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:08,900
the offspring of their parents we are

163
00:07:15,850 --> 00:07:11,450
endowed with with these same abilities

164
00:07:17,530 --> 00:07:15,860
and even though our skill obviously has

165
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:17,540
a lot of room for development that's

166
00:07:22,870 --> 00:07:19,250
really part of the whole point of why

167
00:07:24,700 --> 00:07:22,880
we're here on this planet having this

168
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:24,710
life experience we're learning how to

169
00:07:29,170 --> 00:07:26,890
use our minds learning how to create and

170
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:29,180
in some ways we could almost consider

171
00:07:35,410 --> 00:07:33,530
our experience here as being like you

172
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:35,420
know children who are growing up and so

173
00:07:39,220 --> 00:07:37,250
we have this kind of a smaller arena

174
00:07:41,230 --> 00:07:39,230
that we can work in where we can create

175
00:07:44,650 --> 00:07:41,240
and we can experiment Without Really

176
00:07:47,350 --> 00:07:44,660
causing a lot of harm or chaos or

177
00:07:50,170 --> 00:07:47,360
commotion to the people around us so I

178
00:07:53,230 --> 00:07:50,180
firmly believe you know as humanity

179
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:53,240
progresses as we get better using our

180
00:07:57,670 --> 00:07:55,490
creative abilities someday we will be

181
00:08:00,130 --> 00:07:57,680
able to join that bigger community

182
00:08:02,590 --> 00:08:00,140
because you know I have no doubt there

183
00:08:05,890 --> 00:08:02,600
is a huge community out there of

184
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:05,900
intelligent beings that are ready and

185
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:08,110
waiting for us when when we are there

186
00:08:12,910 --> 00:08:10,730
you know when we have developed

187
00:08:16,810 --> 00:08:12,920
ourselves you know to the point where we

188
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:16,820
can play nicely so to speak then you

189
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:18,050
know we'll be able to join that larger

190
00:08:23,350 --> 00:08:20,330
community so that's really what the the

191
00:08:27,670 --> 00:08:23,360
owners manual of mine is is designed for

192
00:08:32,350 --> 00:08:27,680
is to give everybody just this very

193
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:32,360
strong foundation that they can use to

194
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:34,250
learn how their mind works start

195
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:38,330
developing their abilities and then you

196
00:08:43,810 --> 00:08:40,970
know to be able to progress so as as

197
00:08:45,630 --> 00:08:43,820
long as everybody takes that time to

198
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:45,640
invest in developing their abilities

199
00:08:53,250 --> 00:08:49,730
they'll find that really our mind is an

200
00:08:55,180 --> 00:08:53,260
amazing thing there are all kinds of

201
00:08:56,890 --> 00:08:55,190
incredible experiences that we can open

202
00:08:59,110 --> 00:08:56,900
our minds to as soon as we start

203
00:09:00,640 --> 00:08:59,120
developing those skills but it's just

204
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:00,650
like anything else is just like learning

205
00:09:05,540 --> 00:09:01,970
how to play the piano learning how to

206
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:05,550
play tennis everybody starts somewhere

207
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:09,090
and so we have to just have patience

208
00:09:13,220 --> 00:09:10,970
with ourselves as we're starting out and

209
00:09:14,450 --> 00:09:13,230
you know if you start meditating and

210
00:09:16,850 --> 00:09:14,460
you're not seeing results right away

211
00:09:18,530 --> 00:09:16,860
realize you know this is a lifestyle

212
00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:18,540
choice it isn't something that happens

213
00:09:24,380 --> 00:09:21,600
overnight and you just need to start

214
00:09:26,330 --> 00:09:24,390
taking ten minutes 15 minutes even in

215
00:09:26,990 --> 00:09:26,340
the beginning doing it on a regular

216
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:27,000
basis

217
00:09:33,140 --> 00:09:30,930
give yourself at least a year and start

218
00:09:35,660 --> 00:09:33,150
to see the results you know so look for

219
00:09:37,100 --> 00:09:35,670
the results look for the changes the

220
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:37,110
subtle changes that are occurring in

221
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:39,930
your life and be patient because just

222
00:09:45,170 --> 00:09:41,730
with it like anything else you know it

223
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:45,180
takes time to develop skill so that's

224
00:09:52,730 --> 00:09:48,330
really the the basis of it is just to

225
00:09:54,620 --> 00:09:52,740
help people develop a new lifestyle in

226
00:09:56,330 --> 00:09:54,630
terms of being able to use their mind

227
00:10:00,110 --> 00:09:56,340
and everything that they do I don't

228
00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:00,120
often use the term New Age but there's

229
00:10:07,420 --> 00:10:04,710
definitely a movement a change that I'm

230
00:10:09,590 --> 00:10:07,430
seeing and part of the reason I don't

231
00:10:12,770 --> 00:10:09,600
choose to use the term New Age is

232
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:12,780
because it's taken on a conte ssin for

233
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:17,370
some people that you know creates kind

234
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:20,010
of a sense of alienation especially if

235
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:21,810
people are still invested in their

236
00:10:28,100 --> 00:10:25,530
religion and things like that you know

237
00:10:30,260 --> 00:10:28,110
they might be turned off by the term New

238
00:10:34,130 --> 00:10:30,270
Age and not even really consider it so I

239
00:10:36,100 --> 00:10:34,140
I use the term typically of spirituality

240
00:10:38,570 --> 00:10:36,110
or like a spiritual movement I

241
00:10:43,010 --> 00:10:38,580
definitely think that there's a movement

242
00:10:45,380 --> 00:10:43,020
where people are reaching for and

243
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:45,390
company terms with their essence of

244
00:10:51,010 --> 00:10:48,810
spiritual beings and sensing that

245
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:51,020
there's something more out there than

246
00:10:57,710 --> 00:10:55,410
organized religion so I try to embrace

247
00:10:59,300 --> 00:10:57,720
you know if people are still into their

248
00:11:00,440 --> 00:10:59,310
religion you know definitely doesn't

249
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:00,450
mean that they have to leave their

250
00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:02,450
religion but I believe it's it's

251
00:11:06,980 --> 00:11:04,740
certainly beneficial for people even

252
00:11:09,830 --> 00:11:06,990
within that context to develop a new

253
00:11:11,570 --> 00:11:09,840
understanding a different or deeper

254
00:11:15,410 --> 00:11:11,580
understanding of what it means to be a

255
00:11:18,860 --> 00:11:15,420
spiritual being and for me personally I

256
00:11:20,750 --> 00:11:18,870
really strive to

257
00:11:22,070 --> 00:11:20,760
look for that underlying spirituality

258
00:11:25,210 --> 00:11:22,080
that I believe is the foundation of

259
00:11:27,530 --> 00:11:25,220
every religion the a religion is just a

260
00:11:30,260 --> 00:11:27,540
structure that we've created to be able

261
00:11:33,530 --> 00:11:30,270
to live as spiritual beings but I firmly

262
00:11:36,170 --> 00:11:33,540
believe that we don't need that religion

263
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:36,180
specifically to be a spiritual being to

264
00:11:42,190 --> 00:11:39,330
live a spiritual life so I think that's

265
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:42,200
what a lot of people are moving toward

266
00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:46,770
it was interesting I saw a an article

267
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:48,720
probably about ten years ago I think

268
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:50,970
where it was talking about how people no

269
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:53,490
longer identify a lot of times with just

270
00:11:57,500 --> 00:11:55,890
one religion for example people might

271
00:12:00,470 --> 00:11:57,510
describe themselves as a Christian

272
00:12:02,269 --> 00:12:00,480
Buddhist because there are some aspects

273
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:02,279
of Christianity that they really relate

274
00:12:06,140 --> 00:12:03,930
to and want to practice in their lives

275
00:12:08,030 --> 00:12:06,150
but then they find truth in other places

276
00:12:10,510 --> 00:12:08,040
so they aren't just limiting themselves

277
00:12:12,980 --> 00:12:10,520
to one religion so you know if they find

278
00:12:15,079 --> 00:12:12,990
philosophies in Buddhism that really

279
00:12:16,970 --> 00:12:15,089
speak to them they can incorporate those

280
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:16,980
and if they find philosophies in

281
00:12:20,150 --> 00:12:18,510
Christianity that speak to them they can

282
00:12:22,130 --> 00:12:20,160
incorporate that and I think that's

283
00:12:25,930 --> 00:12:22,140
where people are reaching out for this

284
00:12:27,740 --> 00:12:25,940
bigger picture of spirituality and

285
00:12:29,270 --> 00:12:27,750
understanding what it means to be a

286
00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:29,280
spiritual being and how to practice that

287
00:12:35,780 --> 00:12:32,160
in their lives so for me you know even

288
00:12:37,820 --> 00:12:35,790
though I grew up Catholic and practiced

289
00:12:39,230 --> 00:12:37,830
Catholicism for quite a while with my

290
00:12:43,810 --> 00:12:39,240
family because that's that's what I grew

291
00:12:45,770 --> 00:12:43,820
up in some time after college I started

292
00:12:48,050 --> 00:12:45,780
getting more into the study of

293
00:12:49,340 --> 00:12:48,060
metaphysics which in general I would

294
00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:49,350
describe metaphysics as a study of

295
00:12:54,590 --> 00:12:51,510
consciousness the study of the mind and

296
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:54,600
that extends into you know spirituality

297
00:13:00,770 --> 00:12:56,210
and understanding who we are as

298
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:00,780
spiritual beings and so with that you

299
00:13:07,090 --> 00:13:02,610
know I started embracing just truth

300
00:13:09,110 --> 00:13:07,100
wherever I saw that and so now I

301
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:09,120
actually go to the unity church because

302
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:10,800
unity has a similar philosophy that

303
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:12,810
where they embrace true truth wherever

304
00:13:21,590 --> 00:13:16,770
they find it and you know so whether

305
00:13:24,290 --> 00:13:21,600
it's Buddhism or Christianity you know

306
00:13:25,820 --> 00:13:24,300
and and then getting into you know more

307
00:13:29,079 --> 00:13:25,830
of like the New Age movement or

308
00:13:32,630 --> 00:13:29,089
metaphysics some of the more esoteric

309
00:13:37,220 --> 00:13:32,640
aspects of that you know is

310
00:13:38,930 --> 00:13:37,230
looking at our intuition that we have

311
00:13:40,430 --> 00:13:38,940
these abilities we have the ability to

312
00:13:43,550 --> 00:13:40,440
connect with each other on a

313
00:13:47,830 --> 00:13:43,560
non-physical level we have the ability

314
00:13:50,030 --> 00:13:47,840
to even travel without our physical body

315
00:13:52,820 --> 00:13:50,040
you know that's often referred to as

316
00:13:55,610 --> 00:13:52,830
astral projection and some people get

317
00:13:57,890 --> 00:13:55,620
into you know oh oh you can go on all

318
00:13:59,180 --> 00:13:57,900
these great journeys and help people

319
00:13:59,870 --> 00:13:59,190
while you're asleep and all this stuff

320
00:14:02,260 --> 00:13:59,880
like that

321
00:14:04,790 --> 00:14:02,270
and I think that's fine but I also

322
00:14:06,650 --> 00:14:04,800
caution people not to get too distracted

323
00:14:11,180 --> 00:14:06,660
by all that I think the most important

324
00:14:14,260 --> 00:14:11,190
lesson with astral projection when you

325
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:14,270
can leave your body and you can

326
00:14:19,970 --> 00:14:16,410
experience being separate from your body

327
00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:19,980
then you have no doubt anymore that you

328
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:22,320
continue to exist after your body dies

329
00:14:29,390 --> 00:14:26,160
and you know that fear of death that

330
00:14:32,420 --> 00:14:29,400
sense of mortality that this is a finite

331
00:14:34,100 --> 00:14:32,430
life and will come to an end it's one

332
00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:34,110
one of the biggest fears that people

333
00:14:40,300 --> 00:14:36,560
have second actually to public speaking

334
00:14:47,090 --> 00:14:40,310
which I don't find nearly as daunting

335
00:14:48,830 --> 00:14:47,100
but when we can confront that sense of

336
00:14:53,060 --> 00:14:48,840
mortality and we realized the body's

337
00:14:55,610 --> 00:14:53,070
gonna die yes this life will pass and

338
00:14:58,250 --> 00:14:55,620
and you won't be who you are today in

339
00:15:00,200 --> 00:14:58,260
terms of this physical personality with

340
00:15:03,530 --> 00:15:00,210
this name and nationality and even

341
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:03,540
gender but when you realize that there's

342
00:15:09,710 --> 00:15:06,750
a deeper essence to you that goes on

343
00:15:12,410 --> 00:15:09,720
after this life and then you can look at

344
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:12,420
well if this part of me goes on after

345
00:15:16,820 --> 00:15:14,910
this life you know maybe it even existed

346
00:15:19,670 --> 00:15:16,830
before this life and you can see that

347
00:15:23,180 --> 00:15:19,680
continuity of our existence you can see

348
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:23,190
that you know we don't just have maybe a

349
00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:26,250
hundred years on this earth but you know

350
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:28,470
we've been having experiences for

351
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:30,570
thousands and thousands of years maybe

352
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:33,090
even millions or billions of years I

353
00:15:39,830 --> 00:15:35,010
mean who can really say how old the soul

354
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:39,840
is or the spirit when you look at your

355
00:15:45,820 --> 00:15:42,890
life and your existence in that bigger

356
00:15:47,950 --> 00:15:45,830
context it changes everything and change

357
00:15:50,980 --> 00:15:47,960
your perspective and it changes how you

358
00:15:53,770 --> 00:15:50,990
interact with other people and I look at

359
00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:53,780
that as the foundation of this spiritual

360
00:15:58,930 --> 00:15:56,240
movement and there is definitely a

361
00:16:01,960 --> 00:15:58,940
waking up there there are changes

362
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:01,970
everywhere you can see I mean we can

363
00:16:06,130 --> 00:16:03,410
talk about these kinds of things now

364
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:06,140
without any fear of being stoned or

365
00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:07,970
burned at the stake and so that's a huge

366
00:16:13,270 --> 00:16:10,160
change and definitely one that I'm in

367
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:13,280
favor of and now I mean this information

368
00:16:20,500 --> 00:16:16,370
is so readily available through books

369
00:16:23,820 --> 00:16:20,510
and CDs and and on the internet I mean

370
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:23,830
the internet really is a technological

371
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:27,530
expression of our telepathy everything

372
00:16:31,810 --> 00:16:29,330
that we develop in our technology I

373
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:31,820
believe is a reflection of the abilities

374
00:16:34,690 --> 00:16:34,010
of our mind so if you look at the last

375
00:16:37,390 --> 00:16:34,700
hundred years

376
00:16:40,060 --> 00:16:37,400
you know we developed telephones we

377
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:40,070
developed radios we've developed

378
00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:43,250
television and now the internet and so

379
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:46,190
it's all expressions of how our minds

380
00:16:49,510 --> 00:16:47,450
are becoming much more interconnected

381
00:16:51,820 --> 00:16:49,520
it's easier for us to communicate with

382
00:16:53,830 --> 00:16:51,830
each other on a physical level

383
00:16:56,860 --> 00:16:53,840
technologically but that's all a

384
00:17:00,370 --> 00:16:56,870
reflection of how we're coming to become

385
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:00,380
aware much more of how interconnected we

386
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:02,090
all are and you know people talk about

387
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:04,850
the planet becoming smaller and so a lot

388
00:17:10,090 --> 00:17:07,310
of that is realizing that we aren't

389
00:17:11,980 --> 00:17:10,100
alone realizing that you know there are

390
00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:11,990
there are all these people that we can

391
00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:14,240
connect with so I'm actually very

392
00:17:18,550 --> 00:17:16,640
optimistic even though people talk about

393
00:17:20,530 --> 00:17:18,560
all these problems that are going on and

394
00:17:22,180 --> 00:17:20,540
yes there are still challenges and there

395
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:22,190
are some people that are scared of the

396
00:17:25,360 --> 00:17:23,690
changes and there are some people that

397
00:17:27,850 --> 00:17:25,370
are dragging their feet kicking and

398
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:27,860
screaming because you know they don't

399
00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:29,450
know what is coming up in the future

400
00:17:34,390 --> 00:17:31,280
there's they're scared about some of

401
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:34,400
these changes they they are may be

402
00:17:37,930 --> 00:17:35,930
uncomfortable with themselves so they

403
00:17:39,730 --> 00:17:37,940
don't want people to know what they're

404
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:39,740
thinking you know they're they're scared

405
00:17:44,050 --> 00:17:42,110
of that increased contact and I think

406
00:17:46,030 --> 00:17:44,060
that's why you know we have some of

407
00:17:48,670 --> 00:17:46,040
these pockets of resistance and and

408
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:48,680
violence and things still existing but

409
00:17:54,190 --> 00:17:52,610
overall when I look at humanity I see

410
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:54,200
that we are making progress you know we

411
00:17:58,010 --> 00:17:55,490
are becoming more connected we are

412
00:18:00,140 --> 00:17:58,020
becoming more spiritual there is this

413
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:00,150
or group that is helping to move

414
00:18:06,530 --> 00:18:02,970
everything forward and so I do see

415
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:06,540
progress I'm a very optimistic of the

416
00:18:13,090 --> 00:18:08,850
future and I I believe you know that's

417
00:18:16,970 --> 00:18:13,100
the this new age that we're moving into

418
00:18:19,490 --> 00:18:16,980
is you know we're developing our

419
00:18:21,860 --> 00:18:19,500
intuition and there will be a point

420
00:18:23,330 --> 00:18:21,870
where you know it will just be common

421
00:18:24,530 --> 00:18:23,340
knowledge people are understand that

422
00:18:28,850 --> 00:18:24,540
we're spiritual beings even though

423
00:18:30,170 --> 00:18:28,860
people talk about it especially you know

424
00:18:31,340 --> 00:18:30,180
when you you talk about people in

425
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:31,350
different religions like Christianity

426
00:18:36,740 --> 00:18:33,570
for example most people can understand

427
00:18:38,300 --> 00:18:36,750
the concept of the soul and they have

428
00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:38,310
this sense that you continue to exist

429
00:18:42,260 --> 00:18:41,220
after this life what I found for a lot

430
00:18:43,370 --> 00:18:42,270
of people and I found that for myself

431
00:18:46,700 --> 00:18:43,380
earlier on too

432
00:18:48,860 --> 00:18:46,710
I didn't have a real life practical

433
00:18:50,900 --> 00:18:48,870
experience of that even though I was

434
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:50,910
taught oh yeah you've got this soul in

435
00:18:56,390 --> 00:18:53,130
it yeah it continues after this life but

436
00:18:59,570 --> 00:18:56,400
there's still this fear of death and and

437
00:19:01,460 --> 00:18:59,580
this uncertainty so that's why I believe

438
00:19:03,980 --> 00:19:01,470
it's really important for everybody to

439
00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:03,990
take some time in their life to invest

440
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:06,480
in developing these abilities developing

441
00:19:12,170 --> 00:19:09,510
their intuition and when you can develop

442
00:19:14,690 --> 00:19:12,180
these skills like meditation and

443
00:19:17,900 --> 00:19:14,700
visualization and even more advanced

444
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:17,910
skills like astral projection it builds

445
00:19:21,950 --> 00:19:19,530
this confidence yes I am a spiritual

446
00:19:25,190 --> 00:19:21,960
being you know this is who I am at my

447
00:19:28,940 --> 00:19:25,200
core and so things that happen in this

448
00:19:33,170 --> 00:19:28,950
life are much more minor in comparison

449
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:33,180
you know it's it's like that's saying

450
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:34,770
don't sweat the little stuff and

451
00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:38,610
remember it's all little stuff you know

452
00:19:45,530 --> 00:19:41,070
I mean that's the context that that

453
00:19:48,860 --> 00:19:45,540
things take when you can go in day in

454
00:19:50,060 --> 00:19:48,870
and day out and and you come from the

455
00:19:52,190 --> 00:19:50,070
perspective that you're a spiritual

456
00:19:54,380 --> 00:19:52,200
being you understand no matter how bad

457
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:54,390
things seen here this is all just a

458
00:19:58,430 --> 00:19:55,290
flash in the pan

459
00:20:01,490 --> 00:19:58,440
compared to our bigger life experiences

460
00:20:04,070 --> 00:20:01,500
and it's not that we don't take these

461
00:20:05,570 --> 00:20:04,080
things to be important because it's

462
00:20:08,210 --> 00:20:05,580
actually just the opposite it's like the

463
00:20:11,090 --> 00:20:08,220
closer we come to knowing that we're a

464
00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:11,100
spiritual being we realize how important

465
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:11,970
all these things

466
00:20:16,220 --> 00:20:14,910
are so we take them you know seriously

467
00:20:19,670 --> 00:20:16,230
but we can also have fun with it we

468
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:19,680
don't get caught up in all the drama as

469
00:20:23,810 --> 00:20:21,690
much which really helps us make better

470
00:20:26,900 --> 00:20:23,820
decisions overall it helps us get along

471
00:20:28,220 --> 00:20:26,910
with each other and and helps us make

472
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:28,230
sure that the choices we're making are

473
00:20:32,270 --> 00:20:29,850
good for us and good for everyone else

474
00:20:34,070 --> 00:20:32,280
and good for the planet so everything

475
00:20:35,630 --> 00:20:34,080
gets better when we have that

476
00:20:39,890 --> 00:20:35,640
perspective that's been in my experience

477
00:20:41,660 --> 00:20:39,900
and so as we keep moving that direction
