[Music]

2
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,050
you

3
00:00:32,889 --> 00:00:30,249
my name is dan bird I am from Omaha

4
00:00:35,860 --> 00:00:32,899
Nebraska grew up in the Midwest born in

5
00:00:40,090 --> 00:00:35,870
Alabama but moved as a young child to

6
00:00:42,939 --> 00:00:40,100
the Midwest and that's where I started

7
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:42,949
out so no southern accent well I wrote

8
00:00:49,569 --> 00:00:45,290
the book waking up in the spiritual age

9
00:00:52,119 --> 00:00:49,579
as kind of a an accident I had been

10
00:00:53,649 --> 00:00:52,129
interested in spiritual topics of my

11
00:00:56,020 --> 00:00:53,659
whole life but didn't have anyone to

12
00:00:58,329 --> 00:00:56,030
talk to about no one really to share

13
00:01:01,390 --> 00:00:58,339
ideas I was kind of on my own in a small

14
00:01:05,740 --> 00:01:01,400
town in the Midwest in the United States

15
00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:05,750
and I did find some books here and there

16
00:01:11,830 --> 00:01:09,260
that kind of top talked about the topic

17
00:01:13,179 --> 00:01:11,840
and those were helpful but I didn't have

18
00:01:16,990 --> 00:01:13,189
anybody to talk to

19
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:17,000
and recently within the last few years I

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:20,450
was led to a psychic who did a reading

21
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:23,930
for me and told me that I had a lot of

22
00:01:27,609 --> 00:01:25,850
ideas and things inside then I need to

23
00:01:31,510 --> 00:01:27,619
bring out and so she said would you

24
00:01:33,730 --> 00:01:31,520
consider doing a journal you should do a

25
00:01:34,090 --> 00:01:33,740
journal every day and just let things

26
00:01:36,580 --> 00:01:34,100
flow

27
00:01:39,970 --> 00:01:36,590
well I immediately started that because

28
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:39,980
I'm fairly fast typer and so the ideas

29
00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:43,510
could come pretty quick as I typed I

30
00:01:50,130 --> 00:01:47,960
began to realize there were ideas kind

31
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:50,140
of coming through me that were not

32
00:01:57,700 --> 00:01:55,250
necessarily my ideas if you make sense

33
00:02:00,340 --> 00:01:57,710
out of that some of the ideas that came

34
00:02:04,210 --> 00:02:00,350
through seemed to be using some words

35
00:02:06,010 --> 00:02:04,220
that I don't normally use some syntax

36
00:02:09,550 --> 00:02:06,020
that wouldn't be from my normal way of

37
00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:09,560
talking and as I went back and reread it

38
00:02:15,630 --> 00:02:12,620
I saw they were actually ideas fully

39
00:02:18,190 --> 00:02:15,640
formed that I did not realize were there

40
00:02:21,070 --> 00:02:18,200
at that point I thought there's

41
00:02:23,020 --> 00:02:21,080
something more going on than me simply

42
00:02:26,190 --> 00:02:23,030
keeping the journal I'm getting input

43
00:02:28,899 --> 00:02:26,200
from somewhere I was not real

44
00:02:30,369 --> 00:02:28,909
knowledgeable in this area but I soon

45
00:02:34,990 --> 00:02:30,379
found out there's something called

46
00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:35,000
automatic writing where spiritual beings

47
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:38,790
are able to interact with our

48
00:02:46,039 --> 00:02:43,200
own physical communication skills and I

49
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:46,049
was starting to sort of download ideas

50
00:02:51,350 --> 00:02:49,110
through them it never felt dangerous it

51
00:02:54,289 --> 00:02:51,360
never felt scary it never felt anything

52
00:02:56,210 --> 00:02:54,299
but positive and I was very careful

53
00:02:58,339 --> 00:02:56,220
about that because I've heard stories

54
00:03:00,140 --> 00:02:58,349
that I don't know if any of them are

55
00:03:02,449 --> 00:03:00,150
true but I've heard stories that can be

56
00:03:04,430 --> 00:03:02,459
a little scary but this stayed very

57
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:04,440
positive and I felt like I was in touch

58
00:03:13,339 --> 00:03:08,329
with a higher side of myself or possibly

59
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:13,349
other beings and I was being giving

60
00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:16,730
excellent spiritual ideas to work with

61
00:03:22,550 --> 00:03:20,340
well the journal grew and within I want

62
00:03:25,699 --> 00:03:22,560
to say year and a half or so it had

63
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:25,709
reached 300,000 words as extremely long

64
00:03:33,410 --> 00:03:30,959
enough for six books and in that time

65
00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:33,420
certain sections of it popped through

66
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:38,040
that seemed like they were they referred

67
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:40,230
to certain people I knew or might be

68
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:41,970
useful someone may have asked me a

69
00:03:46,009 --> 00:03:44,400
question all of a sudden I received a

70
00:03:48,619 --> 00:03:46,019
couple of paragraphs that might deal

71
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:48,629
with that problem or situation so I

72
00:03:53,500 --> 00:03:50,370
started sending out sections of it to

73
00:03:57,770 --> 00:03:53,510
certain people just to say I got this

74
00:04:00,289 --> 00:03:57,780
see if it makes sense to you and I got

75
00:04:02,750 --> 00:04:00,299
very strong positive feedback from them

76
00:04:06,619 --> 00:04:02,760
and this went on for a little while and

77
00:04:08,629 --> 00:04:06,629
then I started getting a push from

78
00:04:10,970 --> 00:04:08,639
friends of mine or my family

79
00:04:13,339 --> 00:04:10,980
anyone that would read it that it should

80
00:04:14,809 --> 00:04:13,349
be put into some kind of a book form you

81
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:14,819
need to create a book to show that

82
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:17,570
there's more going on in what we think

83
00:04:23,810 --> 00:04:21,810
because it's not a real common topic in

84
00:04:25,939 --> 00:04:23,820
the Midwest of the United States so

85
00:04:28,610 --> 00:04:25,949
there are plenty of people sort of

86
00:04:31,659 --> 00:04:28,620
awakening now the topic of the book is

87
00:04:33,589 --> 00:04:31,669
really dealing with the awakening of

88
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:33,599
people throughout the world to

89
00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:35,849
spirituality to understanding that

90
00:04:41,629 --> 00:04:38,400
there's there is more to life than the

91
00:04:44,510 --> 00:04:41,639
simple physical 3d world that we're so

92
00:04:46,969 --> 00:04:44,520
accustomed to and more and more people

93
00:04:50,170 --> 00:04:46,979
seem to be awaking awakening in this

94
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:50,180
time in history and for those people

95
00:04:54,950 --> 00:04:52,650
many people are well developed

96
00:04:57,939 --> 00:04:54,960
along that road because I believe that

97
00:05:00,560 --> 00:04:57,949
everyone is on that path to total

98
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:00,570
spiritual enlightenment eventually we'll

99
00:05:07,100 --> 00:05:02,610
all get there some people are at

100
00:05:09,860 --> 00:05:07,110
different places on that path and the

101
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:09,870
truth is it doesn't matter where we're

102
00:05:15,230 --> 00:05:12,770
at on the path we will all get there I

103
00:05:18,409 --> 00:05:15,240
looked at the journal I thought about it

104
00:05:20,210 --> 00:05:18,419
I created the book as I was creating the

105
00:05:22,010 --> 00:05:20,220
book I was getting strong indications of

106
00:05:24,860 --> 00:05:22,020
what the topic should be it really

107
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:24,870
should be aimed at those brand new folks

108
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:28,050
who are just experiencing the first bits

109
00:05:36,050 --> 00:05:33,210
of awakening those folks who maybe were

110
00:05:38,150 --> 00:05:36,060
feeling something noticing some things

111
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:38,160
but they weren't sure what they were all

112
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:42,210
about what they meant coincidences that

113
00:05:47,719 --> 00:05:45,210
were just really surprising hearing a

114
00:05:51,379 --> 00:05:47,729
song that your friend who had passed

115
00:05:53,060 --> 00:05:51,389
away the year before loved and you were

116
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:53,070
just thinking of that person and the

117
00:05:58,580 --> 00:05:54,930
song comes on the radio and you hadn't

118
00:06:00,620 --> 00:05:58,590
heard it for years those kind of things

119
00:06:03,409 --> 00:06:00,630
can be strong indicators of something

120
00:06:05,810 --> 00:06:03,419
happening and awakening and once we're

121
00:06:07,909 --> 00:06:05,820
sort of aware of that it makes a big

122
00:06:10,580 --> 00:06:07,919
difference to noticing those things and

123
00:06:13,219 --> 00:06:10,590
so the book is really aimed at those

124
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:13,229
kind of folks that are maybe they don't

125
00:06:18,230 --> 00:06:15,330
have anybody to talk to about this and

126
00:06:21,980 --> 00:06:18,240
they wonder is something strange about

127
00:06:24,890 --> 00:06:21,990
me am I not quite right here I keep

128
00:06:26,450 --> 00:06:24,900
feeling like there's people around and

129
00:06:29,899 --> 00:06:26,460
you know they just get these unusual

130
00:06:31,460 --> 00:06:29,909
feelings and the book is aimed at those

131
00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:31,470
folks so let them know first of all

132
00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:33,990
they're totally normal second of all

133
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:35,280
there's nothing wrong with anything

134
00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:37,050
that's happening with them they're

135
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:41,340
totally safe and to understand it that

136
00:06:46,820 --> 00:06:43,289
this is a normal thing that happens to

137
00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:46,830
everybody some people really will try to

138
00:06:51,140 --> 00:06:48,840
ignore it and push it out of the way as

139
00:06:55,129 --> 00:06:51,150
though it's not happening but in most

140
00:06:57,170 --> 00:06:55,139
cases I shouldn't say in most cases in

141
00:06:58,790 --> 00:06:57,180
many cases they will come around and

142
00:07:00,890 --> 00:06:58,800
realize oh there's something going on

143
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:00,900
here anyway I feel like this is really

144
00:07:05,890 --> 00:07:03,690
changing and coming out strongly now at

145
00:07:09,010 --> 00:07:05,900
this time in our history

146
00:07:12,249 --> 00:07:09,020
some other signs that may occur around

147
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:12,259
you can be anything from seeing somebody

148
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:14,570
say a half a block away walking away

149
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:16,610
from you and just something about the

150
00:07:23,290 --> 00:07:19,970
way they walk or their clothing or their

151
00:07:25,689 --> 00:07:23,300
image just really strikes you and remind

152
00:07:29,020 --> 00:07:25,699
you of somebody who has passed on that's

153
00:07:30,490 --> 00:07:29,030
something that may be a sign meant for

154
00:07:33,219 --> 00:07:30,500
you to be thinking about that person

155
00:07:35,999 --> 00:07:33,229
because they're thinking about you one

156
00:07:38,529 --> 00:07:36,009
of the classic signs is finding things

157
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:38,539
two of the things that I hear about all

158
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:40,970
the time or finding white feathers very

159
00:07:46,090 --> 00:07:43,370
strong indicator that there's a

160
00:07:47,860 --> 00:07:46,100
connection with a spiritual being of

161
00:07:51,129 --> 00:07:47,870
some kind connecting usually they say

162
00:07:53,830 --> 00:07:51,139
that's your guardian angel or finding a

163
00:07:56,590 --> 00:07:53,840
penny a penny or a quarter or any coin I

164
00:07:58,330 --> 00:07:56,600
guess is often a connection with

165
00:08:01,180 --> 00:07:58,340
something and what that's telling you

166
00:08:04,390 --> 00:08:01,190
not always very specific is telling you

167
00:08:06,659 --> 00:08:04,400
to open up be aware just you know keep

168
00:08:09,460 --> 00:08:06,669
your eyes open to see what's going on

169
00:08:10,510 --> 00:08:09,470
like I mentioned earlier music is a very

170
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:10,520
strong indicator

171
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:13,310
you'll catch songs that you didn't

172
00:08:19,180 --> 00:08:16,010
expect or they'll have a meaning or very

173
00:08:22,779 --> 00:08:19,190
often you'll hear lyrics that just nail

174
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:22,789
down possibly an answer to a question or

175
00:08:26,710 --> 00:08:25,130
problem you had a song will come on and

176
00:08:28,839 --> 00:08:26,720
you weren't paying attention and then it

177
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:28,849
gets to the second verse and there are

178
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:32,930
some lyrics there that may fit the exact

179
00:08:37,630 --> 00:08:35,510
scenario you're working with you thought

180
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:37,640
how am I going to do this and the answer

181
00:08:42,219 --> 00:08:40,010
is right there those things happen far

182
00:08:44,650 --> 00:08:42,229
more often than we realize and once you

183
00:08:47,650 --> 00:08:44,660
sort of awaken you start seeing those

184
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:47,660
things right in front of you and of

185
00:08:50,620 --> 00:08:49,250
course classic cases like you're

186
00:08:52,690 --> 00:08:50,630
thinking of a friend you haven't talked

187
00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:52,700
to in a long time and suddenly you get

188
00:08:57,490 --> 00:08:55,279
an email from them or you get a facebook

189
00:09:01,660 --> 00:08:57,500
message from them or a phone call those

190
00:09:03,490 --> 00:09:01,670
things happen quite often the key I

191
00:09:05,620 --> 00:09:03,500
guess is to kind of keeping your eyes

192
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:05,630
open your new year's open because things

193
00:09:09,790 --> 00:09:07,610
will pop up when you don't expect it and

194
00:09:11,500 --> 00:09:09,800
there will be a connection there and

195
00:09:13,269 --> 00:09:11,510
often there's a reason for that

196
00:09:18,130 --> 00:09:13,279
connection there's some information that

197
00:09:19,780 --> 00:09:18,140
needs to be shared or some news needs to

198
00:09:22,150 --> 00:09:19,790
be shared there's something there that's

199
00:09:24,370 --> 00:09:22,160
important because old friends family and

200
00:09:26,530 --> 00:09:24,380
so on are connected to you for a reason

201
00:09:28,750 --> 00:09:26,540
and so when you hear those things you

202
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:28,760
want to pay attention are these signs

203
00:09:33,790 --> 00:09:31,730
related to religious belief or some kind

204
00:09:36,090 --> 00:09:33,800
of philosophy or some kind of an

205
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:36,100
approach is an interesting thought

206
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:38,690
because I think there beyond that I

207
00:09:46,180 --> 00:09:41,510
think the spirituality or that sort of

208
00:09:48,250 --> 00:09:46,190
sign triumphs everything I think it's

209
00:09:50,890 --> 00:09:48,260
very possible to block those kind of

210
00:09:56,710 --> 00:09:50,900
signs just by not being open to it not

211
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:56,720
being aware but usually I think signs

212
00:10:01,690 --> 00:09:59,090
are more spiritual in nature and less

213
00:10:04,780 --> 00:10:01,700
religious in nature and and that's not

214
00:10:06,490 --> 00:10:04,790
to say there can't be many signs that do

215
00:10:10,030 --> 00:10:06,500
point in something in a religious

216
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:10,040
context but for me most of these signs

217
00:10:17,980 --> 00:10:13,370
are coming from a spiritual realm that

218
00:10:21,940 --> 00:10:17,990
is has the best interest of ourselves in

219
00:10:24,220 --> 00:10:21,950
mind and they're not pushing in any way

220
00:10:30,970 --> 00:10:24,230
what they're usually doing is giving us

221
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:30,980
signs and ideas thoughts directions ways

222
00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:34,130
for us to find our own Popper true

223
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:36,230
selves a way to become more spiritual

224
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:38,930
ourselves so no I don't think religion

225
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:42,110
really pays a big part of it no I think

226
00:10:47,430 --> 00:10:44,090
it's spiritual in nature which is over

227
00:10:52,390 --> 00:10:47,440
encompassing and it again comes from

228
00:10:53,890 --> 00:10:52,400
guides or possibly past relatives that

229
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:53,900
are trying to give us information to

230
00:10:58,060 --> 00:10:55,250
help us and one thing that's interesting

231
00:11:00,160 --> 00:10:58,070
is they really can't tell you what to do

232
00:11:03,010 --> 00:11:00,170
they can give you indications to help

233
00:11:04,750 --> 00:11:03,020
you make decisions but they have no

234
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:04,760
control over you of any kind of course

235
00:11:08,680 --> 00:11:06,890
you can do whatever you want but if you

236
00:11:10,170 --> 00:11:08,690
learn to understand kind of what's

237
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:10,180
coming at you through your feelings

238
00:11:15,820 --> 00:11:13,490
intuition hunches and so on you start

239
00:11:17,530 --> 00:11:15,830
trusting those and the more you do that

240
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:17,540
and the more they work out for you the

241
00:11:25,060 --> 00:11:22,130
more they'll develop and become stronger

242
00:11:27,670 --> 00:11:25,070
and help you guide you in everyday life

243
00:11:31,410 --> 00:11:27,680
and important decisions as well so we

244
00:11:33,049 --> 00:11:31,420
wonder about how does one begin to

245
00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:33,059
awaken to

246
00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:36,809
spirituality and the possibility that

247
00:11:45,469 --> 00:11:42,959
comes with being of spirit and it got

248
00:11:47,239 --> 00:11:45,479
death in the family of a close one that

249
00:11:49,939 --> 00:11:47,249
could certainly trigger it because of

250
00:11:53,239 --> 00:11:49,949
the intense grief and intense feelings

251
00:11:54,859 --> 00:11:53,249
that come with that and especially if

252
00:11:57,919 --> 00:11:54,869
you don't have a spiritual background

253
00:11:59,329 --> 00:11:57,929
and you don't know or don't have a

254
00:12:02,329 --> 00:11:59,339
feeling for what happens to that person

255
00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:02,339
after they pass it may be devastating to

256
00:12:07,669 --> 00:12:05,279
you if you have a strong spiritual

257
00:12:10,609 --> 00:12:07,679
feeling about things that life goes on

258
00:12:14,509 --> 00:12:10,619
in a spiritual realm that can be

259
00:12:17,599 --> 00:12:14,519
tremendously comforting and so what else

260
00:12:21,349 --> 00:12:17,609
could trigger an awakening it can be

261
00:12:25,449 --> 00:12:21,359
anything from smelling some perfume that

262
00:12:28,189 --> 00:12:25,459
maybe your mother wore back in the time

263
00:12:32,299 --> 00:12:28,199
smelling certain foods smell is a very

264
00:12:34,159 --> 00:12:32,309
strong one seeing a certain view you

265
00:12:35,659 --> 00:12:34,169
look you're doing a little traveling you

266
00:12:39,709 --> 00:12:35,669
look out at something and something

267
00:12:42,349 --> 00:12:39,719
triggers a word someone says that's

268
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:42,359
almost limitless what can trigger and

269
00:12:45,949 --> 00:12:43,289
get you started

270
00:12:50,299 --> 00:12:45,959
usually two or three three things happen

271
00:12:52,099 --> 00:12:50,309
kind of close together or in a row that

272
00:12:53,959 --> 00:12:52,109
gets you thinking about it and then

273
00:12:57,139 --> 00:12:53,969
you'll notice one and then another and

274
00:13:00,529 --> 00:12:57,149
another and those things might trigger a

275
00:13:05,409 --> 00:13:00,539
strong interest you might accidentally

276
00:13:09,109 --> 00:13:05,419
find a book that the title strikes your

277
00:13:13,519 --> 00:13:09,119
imagination something about UFOs or

278
00:13:15,229 --> 00:13:13,529
something about ESP or any one of a

279
00:13:16,789 --> 00:13:15,239
number of things can get you started and

280
00:13:21,459 --> 00:13:16,799
then as you glance through the book or

281
00:13:26,059 --> 00:13:23,629
spirituality and there may be something

282
00:13:28,729 --> 00:13:26,069
in there that just feels right that's

283
00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:28,739
why it happened with me a book long time

284
00:13:32,979 --> 00:13:30,959
ago and there was just something in

285
00:13:35,749 --> 00:13:32,989
there I had never seen that content or

286
00:13:38,809 --> 00:13:35,759
that way of thinking before and it

287
00:13:41,269 --> 00:13:38,819
absolutely added up and clarified so

288
00:13:44,869 --> 00:13:41,279
much that I was confused about so

289
00:13:46,380 --> 00:13:44,879
there's a many many ways that you can

290
00:13:48,420 --> 00:13:46,390
start the

291
00:13:51,300 --> 00:13:48,430
says you can be around someone who is

292
00:13:54,030 --> 00:13:51,310
very spiritual and just by being around

293
00:13:55,820 --> 00:13:54,040
them and feeling that energy it could

294
00:14:00,660 --> 00:13:55,830
trigger something in you and start I

295
00:14:04,010 --> 00:14:00,670
once had a psychic tell me that the

296
00:14:07,010 --> 00:14:04,020
awakening process in people is often

297
00:14:09,750 --> 00:14:07,020
determined went before they're born that

298
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:09,760
you wake up when you're 34 years old

299
00:14:16,110 --> 00:14:11,530
you'll wake up when you're 10 you'll

300
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:16,120
wake up when you're 90 and sometimes

301
00:14:22,590 --> 00:14:19,570
there's a not an age exactly but you

302
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:22,600
have to go through this has to do with a

303
00:14:29,250 --> 00:14:24,990
plan that's made before you're born that

304
00:14:31,410 --> 00:14:29,260
in that plan you had this at this this

305
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:31,420
this and this have to happen those

306
00:14:36,810 --> 00:14:33,730
things are going to happen and after

307
00:14:38,580 --> 00:14:36,820
those all happen then you're going to

308
00:14:41,820 --> 00:14:38,590
wake up that's the time for you to start

309
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:41,830
to wake up and that's quite common and I

310
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:44,290
think that's probably true so it's hard

311
00:14:50,910 --> 00:14:48,010
to say what will trigger it for sure

312
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:50,920
usually it's a time element and a series

313
00:14:55,710 --> 00:14:52,930
of things that have happened you can't

314
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:55,720
force it though for example if I met

315
00:15:01,440 --> 00:14:57,730
someone who was not interested in this

316
00:15:03,510 --> 00:15:01,450
at all and I said well it's time for you

317
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:03,520
to be waking up let's talk about this

318
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:05,410
and let's see what we can do if it's not

319
00:15:10,290 --> 00:15:07,450
their time they are not going to be

320
00:15:12,030 --> 00:15:10,300
interested they will it won't work so

321
00:15:16,860 --> 00:15:12,040
when your time comes it kind of comes

322
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:16,870
and I think more and more are waking up

323
00:15:22,140 --> 00:15:19,810
now it seems like neighbors of mine that

324
00:15:24,630 --> 00:15:22,150
I didn't know we're interested in these

325
00:15:26,940 --> 00:15:24,640
sort of topics but my book came out and

326
00:15:29,010 --> 00:15:26,950
some of them related to me that this is

327
00:15:32,130 --> 00:15:29,020
this is what I've been thinking this

328
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:32,140
this is right this feels good I was very

329
00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:34,210
surprised by how many people around me

330
00:15:41,010 --> 00:15:37,600
family and friends and so on found it to

331
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:41,020
be true for them so that that part is I

332
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:43,810
think important so you have someone who

333
00:15:48,660 --> 00:15:45,490
gets lots of messages they're getting

334
00:15:50,190 --> 00:15:48,670
signs left and right and then they try

335
00:15:52,140 --> 00:15:50,200
to ignore them but after a while there's

336
00:15:55,980 --> 00:15:52,150
just kind of overwhelming there's so

337
00:15:57,870 --> 00:15:55,990
many messages from somebody that has

338
00:15:59,360 --> 00:15:57,880
maybe passed recently it can be very

339
00:16:01,790 --> 00:15:59,370
strong

340
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:01,800
and they don't want to admit it they

341
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:04,110
want to ignore it because they just

342
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:05,850
don't believe it they don't feel this is

343
00:16:10,730 --> 00:16:08,370
right that can be coming from the other

344
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:10,740
side they could be really wanting to

345
00:16:15,980 --> 00:16:13,290
communicate but the person that

346
00:16:21,230 --> 00:16:15,990
earthbound may not be ready for that may

347
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:21,240
not be quite prepared for it and and

348
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:23,490
their background may not make that

349
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:25,170
possible at this point it could have

350
00:16:31,370 --> 00:16:27,210
strong religious beliefs and so on and

351
00:16:32,420 --> 00:16:31,380
if that happens there's not a lot you

352
00:16:34,310 --> 00:16:32,430
can do about it

353
00:16:35,450 --> 00:16:34,320
you can certainly talk to them and you

354
00:16:37,490 --> 00:16:35,460
know if they say to you this is

355
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:37,500
happening this happen and you can try to

356
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:39,690
explain what you can and they're they're

357
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:41,490
just not going to see it most likely

358
00:16:47,150 --> 00:16:43,890
then again you could trigger something

359
00:16:49,970 --> 00:16:47,160
in them that works but there's not a lot

360
00:16:52,430 --> 00:16:49,980
you can do if they refuse to kind of see

361
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:52,440
it it's it's kind of a faith sort of

362
00:16:56,750 --> 00:16:54,930
thing you kind of open up to it and you

363
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:56,760
open your heart up and then you sort of

364
00:16:58,820 --> 00:16:58,410
feel those things and understand them

365
00:17:01,550 --> 00:16:58,830
better

366
00:17:04,460 --> 00:17:01,560
a couple other thoughts I had are when

367
00:17:08,390 --> 00:17:04,470
something is happening to you

368
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:08,400
as a sort of a spiritual awakening you

369
00:17:15,350 --> 00:17:11,250
kind of realize that every event that

370
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:15,360
happens to you good bad neutral you can

371
00:17:21,620 --> 00:17:17,970
approach in two ways you can approach it

372
00:17:25,130 --> 00:17:21,630
as a victim or you can approach it as a

373
00:17:29,030 --> 00:17:25,140
learner what I mean by that is a victim

374
00:17:30,980 --> 00:17:29,040
will take everything as outside

375
00:17:34,460 --> 00:17:30,990
themselves happening has an effect on

376
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:34,470
them and sometimes it's true terrible

377
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:36,330
things will happen and you will react

378
00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:39,570
that way what was me but if you can back

379
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:41,520
out of it and back off of it just a

380
00:17:47,450 --> 00:17:44,010
little bit and think am I the victim

381
00:17:50,180 --> 00:17:47,460
here or am i a learner it's a terrible

382
00:17:52,850 --> 00:17:50,190
thing that's happened what can I learn

383
00:17:57,290 --> 00:17:52,860
from it that approach to just about

384
00:17:59,330 --> 00:17:57,300
anything will change your attitude you

385
00:18:01,460 --> 00:17:59,340
can start seeing there's maybe a reason

386
00:18:04,370 --> 00:18:01,470
that this happened when it's very

387
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:04,380
painful emotional pain that makes it

388
00:18:08,450 --> 00:18:07,290
difficult to see the positive side but

389
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:08,460
don't play the victim

390
00:18:14,970 --> 00:18:10,450
what happened happen

391
00:18:18,180 --> 00:18:14,980
it happened to somebody else or wrecked

392
00:18:20,130 --> 00:18:18,190
your car or you lost your job you can be

393
00:18:21,930 --> 00:18:20,140
a victim or you can lift yourself up and

394
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:21,940
learn something from it next time I

395
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:24,970
won't drive so fast or I can learn that

396
00:18:29,070 --> 00:18:26,770
that was not the right job for me

397
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:29,080
there's the other side to everything

398
00:18:36,810 --> 00:18:31,450
that happens so choose Vechten or

399
00:18:39,660 --> 00:18:36,820
learner another thing is what's going on

400
00:18:41,700 --> 00:18:39,670
in the world today that's new a

401
00:18:45,090 --> 00:18:41,710
spirituality is I believe there's a

402
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:45,100
worldwide awakening of spiritual belief

403
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:48,610
and feeling outside of religions this is

404
00:18:55,050 --> 00:18:52,570
kind of over all and as it grows

405
00:18:57,990 --> 00:18:55,060
stronger it lifts the entire planet and

406
00:19:02,190 --> 00:18:58,000
as we sort of move into a new age which

407
00:19:06,570 --> 00:19:02,200
has been kind of talked about for

408
00:19:11,510 --> 00:19:06,580
hundreds of years what we see is the old

409
00:19:15,630 --> 00:19:11,520
regime the old standards of power are

410
00:19:19,230 --> 00:19:15,640
crumbling a little and struggling they

411
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:19,240
are closed off the spirit and what they

412
00:19:26,250 --> 00:19:22,930
want to do is retain the power the way

413
00:19:27,930 --> 00:19:26,260
it is if not be stronger and often

414
00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:27,940
that's using physical force and so on

415
00:19:32,310 --> 00:19:30,240
but those powers in the world are

416
00:19:34,890 --> 00:19:32,320
struggling right now because of the

417
00:19:38,250 --> 00:19:34,900
spiritual lifting of the planet and so

418
00:19:42,090 --> 00:19:38,260
they are doubling down and creating a

419
00:19:45,120 --> 00:19:42,100
huge rift between them and the rest of

420
00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:45,130
the spiritual world and those who are

421
00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:47,440
fighting the old battle the old way of

422
00:19:56,220 --> 00:19:52,870
power and might and power makes them

423
00:19:58,410 --> 00:19:56,230
right they will lose this battle they

424
00:20:00,600 --> 00:19:58,420
will absolutely lose the battle they

425
00:20:02,670 --> 00:20:00,610
will crumble it may take a while may

426
00:20:05,340 --> 00:20:02,680
take a long time but eventually as we

427
00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:05,350
move into the more spiritual age which I

428
00:20:09,390 --> 00:20:07,120
believe is coming I see more and more

429
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:09,400
people every day feeling this way it

430
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:13,570
will replace the old ways and lead to

431
00:20:19,260 --> 00:20:15,730
much more prosperity and happy this

432
00:20:21,300 --> 00:20:19,270
could I can't tell the future so this

433
00:20:23,430 --> 00:20:21,310
could happen in five years this could

434
00:20:24,270 --> 00:20:23,440
happen in two hundred years I don't know

435
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:24,280
but I feel

436
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:26,410
like it's coming and a lot of folks have

437
00:20:33,390 --> 00:20:29,290
felt that way lately so that's an

438
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:33,400
important thing one other important part

439
00:20:43,170 --> 00:20:38,080
of the spiritual practice or knowledge

440
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:43,180
is past present future simple concepts

441
00:20:49,350 --> 00:20:45,610
but we want to watch out that we don't

442
00:20:52,470 --> 00:20:49,360
focus too much on the past we don't live

443
00:20:54,570 --> 00:20:52,480
in the past maybe high school was the

444
00:20:56,610 --> 00:20:54,580
best time of your life and you keep

445
00:20:58,650 --> 00:20:56,620
thinking about it going back and trying

446
00:21:01,590 --> 00:20:58,660
to stay in contact with your old friends

447
00:21:03,300 --> 00:21:01,600
but now you're 40 years old and they're

448
00:21:05,580 --> 00:21:03,310
all moving on but you're having a hard

449
00:21:08,130 --> 00:21:05,590
time well that's not a healthy way to be

450
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:08,140
and the same thing with the future if

451
00:21:15,090 --> 00:21:11,770
you're thinking of the future and you

452
00:21:17,220 --> 00:21:15,100
keep getting these ideas that if I had

453
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:17,230
this new swimming pool or this new car

454
00:21:23,430 --> 00:21:20,890
or this wife or all these things that I

455
00:21:26,910 --> 00:21:23,440
want if I can get those I'm going to be

456
00:21:30,090 --> 00:21:26,920
a happy fulfilled person and that will

457
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:30,100
never happen because as soon as you have

458
00:21:34,500 --> 00:21:32,290
it you want something else because it

459
00:21:37,860 --> 00:21:34,510
doesn't solve the yearning inside you

460
00:21:40,890 --> 00:21:37,870
which is not for more stuff the yearning

461
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:40,900
inside you is for a relationship with

462
00:21:45,630 --> 00:21:43,690
source or spirit coming back to this

463
00:21:47,610 --> 00:21:45,640
spiritual center from where we all came

464
00:21:50,670 --> 00:21:47,620
that's what you're yearning for and you

465
00:21:53,370 --> 00:21:50,680
don't realize that so what does that

466
00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:53,380
leave us the past is not the past we

467
00:21:59,340 --> 00:21:55,840
learn from we made lots of mistakes we

468
00:22:01,410 --> 00:21:59,350
made positive moves too but we can't

469
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:01,420
live there we can't dwell on it it

470
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:03,610
doesn't serve any purpose it keeps you

471
00:22:08,220 --> 00:22:06,370
from the present in fact same thing with

472
00:22:10,230 --> 00:22:08,230
the future if you're thinking I just got

473
00:22:12,990 --> 00:22:10,240
to get through two more years of work

474
00:22:14,790 --> 00:22:13,000
and I can retire or whatever it is those

475
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:14,800
two years will be wasted if that's all

476
00:22:18,300 --> 00:22:16,570
you're thinking about what you want to

477
00:22:20,700 --> 00:22:18,310
think about it's not the future the past

478
00:22:23,010 --> 00:22:20,710
but the present only it is the only

479
00:22:25,260 --> 00:22:23,020
thing when you analyze it that we have

480
00:22:27,090 --> 00:22:25,270
we have right this moment right now and

481
00:22:30,540 --> 00:22:27,100
if you can learn to make the most out of

482
00:22:33,650 --> 00:22:30,550
these moments right now your life will

483
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:33,660
be very very fulfilling and you realize

484
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:36,770
you're driving in a car somewhere

485
00:22:47,980 --> 00:22:43,930
and your son calls on the phone and says

486
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:47,990
dad I want to go to the store and get

487
00:22:54,990 --> 00:22:51,410
something and you're a hundred miles

488
00:22:57,940 --> 00:22:55,000
away and he said but I had a flat tire

489
00:23:00,130 --> 00:22:57,950
well you can sit in the car and you can

490
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:00,140
stew about it or you can tell them you

491
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:02,570
need to change it I can't come change it

492
00:23:06,310 --> 00:23:04,250
I'm 100 miles away and I'm going the

493
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:06,320
wrong way when you think about those

494
00:23:13,390 --> 00:23:09,410
things and realize I can't do anything

495
00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:13,400
about that right now where I am so you

496
00:23:17,230 --> 00:23:15,710
try to put it aside focus on where you

497
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:17,240
are and what you're doing right now and

498
00:23:21,550 --> 00:23:19,250
know that you'll pick up that issue

499
00:23:24,460 --> 00:23:21,560
later when you get home later that night

500
00:23:26,530 --> 00:23:24,470
if the car still has a flat tire you can

501
00:23:28,780 --> 00:23:26,540
go help them or show them how to do it

502
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:28,790
or whatever needs to be done but

503
00:23:35,070 --> 00:23:31,730
learning to let go of what you can't do

504
00:23:37,180 --> 00:23:35,080
at that moment sometimes it seems cold

505
00:23:38,590 --> 00:23:37,190
because someone may want you to do

506
00:23:39,610 --> 00:23:38,600
something and you simply can't I'm not

507
00:23:42,010 --> 00:23:39,620
there I can't do it

508
00:23:43,780 --> 00:23:42,020
but if you can push it aside focused on

509
00:23:46,690 --> 00:23:43,790
where you are and what you can do you'll

510
00:23:49,510 --> 00:23:46,700
be much more happy the book is waking up

511
00:23:52,990 --> 00:23:49,520
in the spiritual age and it really is

512
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:53,000
aimed at newly awakening people people

513
00:23:58,180 --> 00:23:55,730
who have felt something going on but

514
00:24:01,300 --> 00:23:58,190
they're not sure it's a gentle

515
00:24:03,340 --> 00:24:01,310
introduction into it and it doesn't use

516
00:24:06,090 --> 00:24:03,350
a lot of high-level jargon and it

517
00:24:10,150 --> 00:24:06,100
doesn't give you a lot of high-level

518
00:24:12,970 --> 00:24:10,160
thinking it brings you gently into what

519
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:12,980
is starting to work with you if you

520
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:14,930
would like more information or to read

521
00:24:18,490 --> 00:24:16,730
one of the many essays I have on

522
00:24:34,810 --> 00:24:18,500
spiritual topics you can visit my
