1 00:00:21,780 --> 00:00:19,070 I am Michael purlins and I started out 2 00:00:24,929 --> 00:00:21,790 studying metaphysics when I was a child 3 00:00:26,220 --> 00:00:24,939 I started picking up books that I found 4 00:00:27,570 --> 00:00:26,230 on the shelves only in the used 5 00:00:30,390 --> 00:00:27,580 bookstore just found it fascinating 6 00:00:33,530 --> 00:00:30,400 things that we were only told were myths 7 00:00:36,060 --> 00:00:33,540 as children like Atlantis and UFOs and 8 00:00:37,439 --> 00:00:36,070 Bermuda Triangle and I just found it 9 00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:37,449 fascinating that people were actually 10 00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:43,720 writing about truths that might be you 11 00:00:48,299 --> 00:00:45,489 know that these might be actually real 12 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:48,309 things so I just dove into it and it 13 00:00:55,740 --> 00:00:50,489 just led me further into metaphysics and 14 00:00:58,380 --> 00:00:55,750 that taught me that there were great 15 00:01:02,840 --> 00:00:58,390 philosophers and masters in in history 16 00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:02,850 that had been telling us for so long 17 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:05,350 what that there were so many things that 18 00:01:12,420 --> 00:01:10,570 occurred long ago and that that our 19 00:01:13,859 --> 00:01:12,430 civilization could you know go back even 20 00:01:16,289 --> 00:01:13,869 further than we could ever imagine that 21 00:01:18,030 --> 00:01:16,299 we had advanced technology that just 22 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:18,040 advanced civilizations out there that 23 00:01:27,210 --> 00:01:24,730 and so I really just got more and more 24 00:01:31,020 --> 00:01:27,220 deep deeper into it and that led me to 25 00:01:36,750 --> 00:01:31,030 Eastern mysticism and world religions 26 00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:36,760 and just looking for a common theme that 27 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:40,180 I could put together and do something 28 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:42,250 with and I wasn't sure what I was gonna 29 00:01:49,530 --> 00:01:45,850 do with it and I did find that common 30 00:01:51,540 --> 00:01:49,540 theme that all the Masters and all the 31 00:01:53,430 --> 00:01:51,550 spiritual teachers were teaching us and 32 00:01:56,969 --> 00:01:53,440 so I put together a film in my later 33 00:01:59,130 --> 00:01:56,979 years because I just got felt like I 34 00:02:02,190 --> 00:01:59,140 just okay so if I'm reading all this 35 00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:02,200 material and I'm finding out all these 36 00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:07,120 truths why isn't anybody else and the 37 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:08,769 answer came to me that I just needed to 38 00:02:13,410 --> 00:02:10,239 make a film about it this was before the 39 00:02:15,899 --> 00:02:13,420 internet so I knew that the best way to 40 00:02:18,149 --> 00:02:15,909 get universally to the masses was make a 41 00:02:21,149 --> 00:02:18,159 movie and so that led me to make a film 42 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:21,159 about it called three magic words it got 43 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:23,170 very popular and that led me to write 44 00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:25,330 the book fantastic adventures in 45 00:02:29,730 --> 00:02:27,280 metaphysics so 46 00:02:31,260 --> 00:02:29,740 when I found the common theme of the 47 00:02:34,050 --> 00:02:31,270 spiritual masters and decided to make a 48 00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:34,060 movie about it I am started with a 49 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:35,920 partner of mine Maura Hoffman we we 50 00:02:40,770 --> 00:02:37,570 started getting all the people together 51 00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:40,780 that were very inspirational to us in 52 00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:42,190 the conscious community in Los Angeles 53 00:02:49,580 --> 00:02:46,600 and elsewhere some of the authors and 54 00:02:53,550 --> 00:02:49,590 teachers and speakers that were in the 55 00:02:56,699 --> 00:02:53,560 conscious community and the that were 56 00:03:00,000 --> 00:02:56,709 very popular Neale Donald Walsch w Ford 57 00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:00,010 Gary Renard some of the names and we put 58 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:02,860 them together interviewed them at the 59 00:03:06,479 --> 00:03:03,850 time I was just living in an apartment 60 00:03:07,949 --> 00:03:06,489 in Marina del Rey put a green screen on 61 00:03:10,290 --> 00:03:07,959 my wall and had them come in and just 62 00:03:12,990 --> 00:03:10,300 just like this and and interview them 63 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:13,000 and I didn't know really what the film 64 00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:15,370 was about yet I just kind of asked them 65 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:17,470 questions and why they were interested 66 00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:19,810 in what they were doing and you know 67 00:03:23,490 --> 00:03:21,280 what was their purpose what they felt 68 00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:23,500 like they wanted to give to society and 69 00:03:27,210 --> 00:03:25,120 that kind of thing some really profound 70 00:03:29,699 --> 00:03:27,220 things came out and that's when I knew I 71 00:03:30,750 --> 00:03:29,709 had a film and so it was really just 72 00:03:32,850 --> 00:03:30,760 okay what are we gonna do we're gonna 73 00:03:35,789 --> 00:03:32,860 try to make this use the common theme 74 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:35,799 that we know is true and about 75 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:39,730 spirituality and and it's all about you 76 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:40,930 know the theme I'm not gonna say okay 77 00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:42,130 now because you have to see the movie 78 00:03:48,180 --> 00:03:46,630 but it's really what is what means to be 79 00:03:49,890 --> 00:03:48,190 spiritual and what the difference is 80 00:03:52,110 --> 00:03:49,900 between spirituality and religion and 81 00:03:55,710 --> 00:03:52,120 really a lot of people really don't know 82 00:03:58,289 --> 00:03:55,720 this and that's really strange to me so 83 00:04:00,780 --> 00:03:58,299 that's what the movies about and um and 84 00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:00,790 that's how we started having started to 85 00:04:05,340 --> 00:04:03,670 make the film we halfway through the 86 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:05,350 film and completely ran out of funding 87 00:04:09,390 --> 00:04:08,170 so I didn't really think it was gonna 88 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:09,400 get finished or how it was gonna get 89 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:14,530 made and so I for me that the whole time 90 00:04:20,130 --> 00:04:17,890 I did it as as just pure enjoyment I did 91 00:04:23,460 --> 00:04:20,140 it as a hobby I did it on the side of my 92 00:04:25,409 --> 00:04:23,470 nine-to-five job and my life just for 93 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:25,419 something to do I needed I needed I 94 00:04:30,030 --> 00:04:27,010 needed something I wanted to work toward 95 00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:30,040 with my metaphysical studies to do 96 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:32,740 something with it and so I set it aside 97 00:04:35,820 --> 00:04:34,690 and I said okay well if the money's not 98 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:35,830 there and it's not gonna come I'm just 99 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:39,970 gonna start writing my book and so when 100 00:04:42,810 --> 00:04:40,930 I started writing the 101 00:04:45,450 --> 00:04:42,820 and that's that took up my time that was 102 00:04:47,850 --> 00:04:45,460 my next activity and during the process 103 00:04:50,460 --> 00:04:47,860 of writing the book one of the guests in 104 00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:50,470 the film good new goodness and asked me 105 00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:51,670 how much do you need to finish the film 106 00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:54,910 and the money came so I kind of I let go 107 00:04:59,520 --> 00:04:57,040 and I was unattached and I did it wasn't 108 00:05:01,470 --> 00:04:59,530 disappointed I just said okay I'll just 109 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:01,480 put it on the side for now and I'll pick 110 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:04,210 up another hobby so I would say yeah 111 00:05:10,980 --> 00:05:05,890 that was one of my spiritual lessons was 112 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:10,990 just detachment and looking getting my 113 00:05:16,410 --> 00:05:14,170 hands into something else to make the 114 00:05:21,090 --> 00:05:16,420 time go by during the process of writing 115 00:05:24,570 --> 00:05:21,100 the book I spent most of the time at a 116 00:05:26,130 --> 00:05:24,580 coffee shop after work I would go there 117 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:26,140 and spend mostly evening to about eleven 118 00:05:30,330 --> 00:05:28,930 o'clock writing and it was very 119 00:05:31,830 --> 00:05:30,340 interesting as all the people that I met 120 00:05:33,570 --> 00:05:31,840 there and the people that would come and 121 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:33,580 ask me I what are you doing the 122 00:05:38,490 --> 00:05:35,890 information and that I got from those 123 00:05:41,130 --> 00:05:38,500 people and where their mind was in the 124 00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:41,140 information in the on the topic and 125 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:43,240 because they were curious and we strike 126 00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:44,890 up conversations and I would test them 127 00:05:48,330 --> 00:05:46,720 they were kind of my guinea pigs so I 128 00:05:50,100 --> 00:05:48,340 would I say hey have you heard of this 129 00:05:51,930 --> 00:05:50,110 I've heard of that have you heard of 130 00:05:56,310 --> 00:05:51,940 pyramids on Mars and things like that 131 00:05:58,850 --> 00:05:56,320 and so I could see what what audience I 132 00:06:01,790 --> 00:05:58,860 had out there for this material and 133 00:06:04,650 --> 00:06:01,800 where I needed to come at what angle 134 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:04,660 what kind of way I should write the book 135 00:06:07,770 --> 00:06:06,130 because I wanted to write it for the 136 00:06:09,030 --> 00:06:07,780 masses for everybody to understand in 137 00:06:11,730 --> 00:06:09,040 their language I don't want to get too 138 00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:11,740 deep into technical and so that was 139 00:06:20,310 --> 00:06:14,560 really helpful to me to do it to meet 140 00:06:27,150 --> 00:06:20,320 those people the book goes into the all 141 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:27,160 the historical evidence and and facts 142 00:06:33,780 --> 00:06:30,690 and information that we have about 143 00:06:37,220 --> 00:06:33,790 civilizations that were far much much 144 00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:37,230 older than we could ever imagine and 145 00:06:42,060 --> 00:06:40,720 some of it goes back thousands hundreds 146 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:42,070 of thousands of years some of it goes 147 00:06:48,030 --> 00:06:46,090 back a million years and you know we 148 00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:48,040 don't have we wouldn't have the 149 00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:50,470 information that was written down if it 150 00:06:53,970 --> 00:06:52,720 went goes back a million years so a lot 151 00:06:54,649 --> 00:06:53,980 of my research goes into channeled 152 00:06:57,110 --> 00:06:54,659 material 153 00:07:03,600 --> 00:06:57,120 people that have gone into aggression 154 00:07:05,790 --> 00:07:03,610 and some of the very detailed works such 155 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:05,800 as the keys of Enoch and the Urantia 156 00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:08,530 book and I wanted to just get dive into 157 00:07:11,790 --> 00:07:10,000 everything I could get my hands on to 158 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:11,800 see what was consistent in what was 159 00:07:17,909 --> 00:07:15,370 matching other things and it was very 160 00:07:19,860 --> 00:07:17,919 interesting what I when I discovered 161 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:19,870 there was there was a lot of interesting 162 00:07:24,899 --> 00:07:22,810 similarities and consistencies with what 163 00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:24,909 they were all saying and what happened 164 00:07:28,409 --> 00:07:26,110 at the very beginning and how we got 165 00:07:32,820 --> 00:07:28,419 here and there's a lot of symbolism and 166 00:07:35,820 --> 00:07:32,830 a lot of the sacred texts so yeah I 167 00:07:37,709 --> 00:07:35,830 studied the sacred texts from many 168 00:07:40,769 --> 00:07:37,719 cultures I looked into their history 169 00:07:43,769 --> 00:07:40,779 their legends of beings that came before 170 00:07:46,709 --> 00:07:43,779 them who built these amazing structures 171 00:07:49,679 --> 00:07:46,719 that we can't even duplicate today and 172 00:07:51,570 --> 00:07:49,689 they had no technology to do themselves 173 00:07:53,580 --> 00:07:51,580 at the time they what according to our 174 00:07:55,230 --> 00:07:53,590 history books there's nothing that they 175 00:07:56,820 --> 00:07:55,240 can there's no way they could create the 176 00:07:58,800 --> 00:07:56,830 structures that we see today we don't 177 00:08:01,519 --> 00:07:58,810 even know how they did them I could go 178 00:08:03,899 --> 00:08:01,529 into all that but so I you know that's 179 00:08:10,860 --> 00:08:03,909 you know that goes deep into the book 180 00:08:14,369 --> 00:08:10,870 goes deep into that and and really it 181 00:08:16,649 --> 00:08:14,379 goes into anything anybody ever wanted 182 00:08:20,430 --> 00:08:16,659 to know about metaphysics and 183 00:08:24,329 --> 00:08:20,440 spirituality and who we are how we got 184 00:08:26,369 --> 00:08:24,339 here what are the possibilities and what 185 00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:26,379 that means for the future there were 186 00:08:30,629 --> 00:08:28,089 many many things that occurred according 187 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:30,639 to the research not just one I mean you 188 00:08:34,110 --> 00:08:33,010 have zecharia sitchin saying that we 189 00:08:37,409 --> 00:08:34,120 were genetically enhanced by 190 00:08:39,509 --> 00:08:37,419 Neanderthals by advanced beings we have 191 00:08:41,490 --> 00:08:39,519 do you ranch a book and Kisame next 192 00:08:44,219 --> 00:08:41,500 talking about the Elohim or and the 193 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:44,229 angelic godlike beings or creator gods 194 00:08:51,980 --> 00:08:46,930 who came down and created humans from 195 00:08:55,439 --> 00:08:51,990 their offspring we have all these other 196 00:08:57,750 --> 00:08:55,449 teachings that talk about similar things 197 00:08:59,639 --> 00:08:57,760 that happen at different times in 198 00:09:03,389 --> 00:08:59,649 history five hundred thousand years ago 199 00:09:05,250 --> 00:09:03,399 some a million years ago or more some a 200 00:09:06,990 --> 00:09:05,260 couple hundred thousand years ago and 201 00:09:08,500 --> 00:09:07,000 some five to ten thousand years ago so I 202 00:09:10,090 --> 00:09:08,510 think that there were 203 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:10,100 many things that happened all over the 204 00:09:15,460 --> 00:09:13,490 world different times you know then we 205 00:09:18,850 --> 00:09:15,470 have aging Egypt started 5000 years ago 206 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:18,860 and had the technology that they had and 207 00:09:23,620 --> 00:09:20,930 then we have Atlantis and what happened 208 00:09:25,210 --> 00:09:23,630 there and so I would not say that just 209 00:09:27,010 --> 00:09:25,220 one thing that's what I think is the 210 00:09:29,140 --> 00:09:27,020 problem is a lot of people that do this 211 00:09:31,510 --> 00:09:29,150 research they just pick one thing that 212 00:09:32,890 --> 00:09:31,520 they really that they really you know he 213 00:09:35,380 --> 00:09:32,900 feels truth to them they're like this is 214 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:35,390 what happened and then you have 215 00:09:39,070 --> 00:09:37,010 conflicting information no but this is 216 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:39,080 then how did this happen and everyone 217 00:09:41,710 --> 00:09:40,490 thinks just one thing happened that 218 00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:41,720 created the human race here on this 219 00:09:45,190 --> 00:09:44,060 planet not so and I think that's the 220 00:09:46,990 --> 00:09:45,200 reason we have so many different races 221 00:09:49,330 --> 00:09:47,000 on the planet because I think there were 222 00:09:52,450 --> 00:09:49,340 different things if you want to call 223 00:09:55,780 --> 00:09:52,460 them experiments and they could be of a 224 00:09:57,970 --> 00:09:55,790 very divine intervention and they could 225 00:09:59,620 --> 00:09:57,980 also be of evolution I think kind of I 226 00:10:02,020 --> 00:09:59,630 think both I think if both things 227 00:10:04,090 --> 00:10:02,030 occurred according to the research we 228 00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:04,100 have both evolution occurring and divine 229 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:06,320 intervention and that I go deep into 230 00:10:10,690 --> 00:10:08,210 that and more into that in the book I 231 00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:10,700 think right now that's what's going on 232 00:10:19,210 --> 00:10:14,710 on the planet is um we're coming into a 233 00:10:21,910 --> 00:10:19,220 finale and it's the light against the 234 00:10:24,340 --> 00:10:21,920 dark and I think we are at the very end 235 00:10:26,830 --> 00:10:24,350 of the Dark Age according to the 26 236 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:26,840 thousand year cycle that our Sun travels 237 00:10:33,100 --> 00:10:31,610 through about the great year that so 238 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:33,110 we're just coming out of this dark age 239 00:10:41,830 --> 00:10:36,170 now and according to that those that 240 00:10:44,830 --> 00:10:41,840 that model we are going to finally come 241 00:10:49,540 --> 00:10:44,840 out of all this hatred and Prejudice and 242 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:49,550 war and religious sectarianism and so 243 00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:50,930 I'm very hopeful for the future and I 244 00:10:56,650 --> 00:10:52,880 think I think maybe we might have to see 245 00:11:00,250 --> 00:10:56,660 one last battle and not not physically 246 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:00,260 it might just be spiritually and you 247 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:02,330 know one last attempt of the dark side 248 00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:06,410 to take back what they're losing and but 249 00:11:10,090 --> 00:11:07,760 it's too late because we're heading 250 00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:10,100 heading into the age of light according 251 00:11:16,060 --> 00:11:13,150 to the hindu model of the great year and 252 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:16,070 were finally going to progress once 253 00:11:21,100 --> 00:11:19,610 again spiritually technologically and so 254 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:21,110 we will find our connection again with 255 00:11:25,660 --> 00:11:22,130 each other with the earth 256 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:25,670 so with nature and when that happens we 257 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:27,410 start advancing again as we once did
