242: Rule of Life

I've been I've been neglecting, neglecting Twitter for the last two years because Spooks and Goofy's always harassed me on

there and like troll my comment sections. And it's like, it's not that it's not that that it breaks my spirit in the sense that I'm like give up, but it's more so it's so to me it felt like such a dead and not genuine app for a long time that I was like, I'm just gonna put all my exit on Instagram and I just kind of ignored X. And when I made that transition mentally two or three years ago, I decided I don't really care to post on there anymore. It feels artificial. It doesn't feel like

there's real people interacting. Anytime I posted anything, it's just hate and bull crap, and Instagram is not. There's a lot of that too, but it's not as much. You know, it feels more real. I feel like it's easier to actually connect with human beings on Instagram. But a few weeks ago I decided I don't care about that anymore. It's twenty twenty six. I'm gonna be bold. I don't care who engages with me. It's not about engaging to any one person, really, it's I'm not even trying to

connect with people. I'm just gonna start using it as a platform to speak my mind because I have that right like every other living soul. And you know, I kind of forgot why I was going into that in the first place. I don't really remember why I was talking about that. Oh I know why, because I've been tweeting a lot lately because I'm just like whatever, I'm gonna be bold and I'm gonna say what I want.

And somehow or another, somebody like liked or responded to one of my old tweets from twenty twenty two, like early twenty twenty two, which was less than a year into us doing the podcast, and I was like, whoa, this is crazy. I posted, let me just show you. I'll just tell you so you can see. I retweeted it today or last night. Rather, I don't know. My days are all blended together, but I retweeted it March sixteenth,

twenty twenty two. I said, we are sitting at one hundred and fifty two subscribers away from two thousand, and would mean a lot to us if you would check us out, subscribe and tell a friend. And I look at the video and it says ten hours post launched three hundred and fourteen views. Uh, and we had one thousand and eighty four subscribers and thirty eight videos. And in that moment, I was so proud and I was

so happy to almost be at two thousand subscribers. And I saw that and I was just like, wow, that's kind of nostalgic but also incredible. Like we always are so hard on ourselves about you know, being censored and about having such a hard time growing, but like looking back, you know, four years later, we've twenty to forty x our reach. It's incredible, you know. So I was like, wow, that's crazy. Yeah that is thank you for bringing that up. That kind of made me smile, right, yeah, it's why.

It's one of those things where the carrot constantly moves and you'd like, yeah, all you see is the carrot, you know. I reminds me of there was some study or interviewer or something where they ask these millionaires how much money until they're done working? Or like what what's

what's the goal? Right, and they were all just like a couple more million, a couple more million, a couple more million, and they like interviewed people from five hundred thousand dollars net worth to sixty million net worth and there, and they're never happy, like it's never enough. It's they always feel like one more and one more. And I'm

not just pointing at millionaires. That's that. I think that's part of the human condition, you know, if you have ambition, Yeah, yeah, which you know, going back to a couple of weeks ago, sharpening that ego as a tool, you know, and kind of like really forming a solid relationship with your ego so where you can utilize it for the things that you want to do and the good that you want to do in the world, but also understanding what it is and kind of keeping it in check, you know

what I mean, Like really hone in on that as a tool, right, I think, And maybe that's just is an analogy that makes a lot of sense for me and no one else, but you know that's just my thoughts.

But yeah, the carrot always moves. And now I'm like, now I'm thinking, man, we're forty percent of the way to getting our plaque for one hundred k. Like, obviously want to get to one hundred K. I want to get to fifty k before we get to a hundred K. I just really want to see forty K. I feel like I've been chasing that carrot for a long time. It's probably gone stale. It's been on our radar for like six months now, like once we passed thirty five or it's been a slow climb, dude, yeah, And I'm

just like, he's not complaining, No, it's been yeah. Yeah, the jump from thirty to forty was huge. The time to get there, and it's like, wow, we're almost there. Alex and I have been tracking this like almost forty k almost forty K, especially from thirty five to forty that was insane. But you know, we never really talk about that stuff much publicly or celebrate or you know, like share with people how we're feeling about those things.

And like, you know, on the one level, there's this big metaphysical thing that we're bringing to the world, this this incredible legacy of my father's experiences with my brother and our family and the story and and the profound nature of that. But then on the other hand, we're doing it through the way that everybody else engages through making content. So it's like this dual thing, like you know, we're a YouTube podcast, internet show, but then we're also

this other worldly thing. So it's like we have to we have to celebrate those little things too, just like everybody else does. And yeah, it's awesome. So we're almost at forty K, subs. I just I kind of wanted to talk about a few things today that Alex and I have been really into lately, just like, you know,

the benefits of meditation and prayer practice. That's something that we've really been focusing on and and I'm coming to believe wholeheartedly that having some sort of routine of spiritual hygiene is very important, especially in the times we live in now where the truth is being exposed to the masses, and sometimes the truth can be you know, a little

a little scary. Sometimes the truth can be you know that your neighbor uh is in love with you, or sometimes it's that you know your your best friend's wife has been cheating on him. Or sometimes it could be that uh, people who worship Satan run the world. You know what I'm saying, Like, sometimes the truth can be like WHOA, holy crap. So I want to focus on the positive and I want to bring positivity to the world and bring bring a light. What are you laughing about, Alex,

It's just wild. Keep going. I'm saying. The truth can be shocking, can be I've really just learned to believe in, you know, having a spiritual hygiene practice. So I just really wanted to talk about that today. But before we get into that, I do have to plug contact modalities. Yes,

they are sponsoring me. Yes, I am very much happy to be partnered with mel the wonderful, lovely person who created and owns the conference that is going to take place May first through third at Delavan Wisconsin in the Lake Lawn Resort. It's going to be the twenty twenty sixth theme Harmonic Ascension. I have to stress to you guys, I personally will not be there. It's not because I don't want to be. It's because I'm going to have a newborn. You guys are probably like, what do you

read a script? No, I'm just you know how many questions people when's the next SkyWatch? When's the next SkyWatch? When are you gonna be here? When are you gonna be there? So I have to make sure that you guys understand I will not be there because I have very exciting things going on in my personal life. But Alex will be there in my place. You guys can meet Alex, hang out with Alex, my dad, my brother Chris Junior, my sister Emily, and there's going to be

a lot of other really cool people. The are like people that I'm most excited about and that I wish that I could be hanging out with. And they're my friends too, but I still wish I could be around them and hear their presentations and such. Dahlia Diane Hennessy Powell, Megan Solar Glow Meditations and a lot of other people. There's going to be like thirty different presenters all presenting simultaneously across four conference stages. And then I have to

tell you guys that there will be four skywatches. Pay attention to what tier of ticket you acquire because three of the Skywatches are acts sssible through those tiers. One of them is a private exclusive VIP that is sold out, and the only way that you can participate is through the giveaway that we're doing on Instagram and I want to say Saint Patrick's Day. We're going to be announcing

the winner, so I guess that's the seventeenth. It may already be announced, but either way, the only way to get into the VIP exclusive SkyWatch, where they're going to be all thirty to forty people are going to be busted to another location is through the giveaway that we're doing because it is now sold out, so check out contact modalities XBO. It is an incredible time, incredible venue. The venue itself is freaking amazing. It's like people literally

just take their families to go on vacation there. It's a resort on a lake and Wisconsin. It truly like for all of the other reasons listed above. The venue itself is just a cool place to hang and it does not disappoint. Oh, thank you Contact Modalities XPO, Thank you mel And anyway, Yeah, so I wanted to talk about spiritual hygiene. Do you have any thoughts that you

want to before I do my little spiel? Uh. To be honest with you, I want you to go first, all right, fine, yeah, because I don't I don't want to say everything I have to say in five minutes and then be out of content. Oh my god, dude, it's it's I'm just you know, speaking from the heart. But yeah, so I don't even know where to begin. I just I think that there's an importance to what put me on this rabbit hole was about a year ago. I can't quite remember exactly when we recorded this episode.

We did one on Rudolph Steiner, like not the ones where I've been talking about him recently, but it was like a legit Rudolph Steiner episode and Nick was on the show at this time. So it's been a while.

It's been at least since before, you know, July of last year, and we did an episode on Rudolph Steiner and something that I found out while doing the research for that episode that I had never really heard before, was that a part of the way to raise your consciousness and to raise your vibration is to develop discipline and will power to exercise some sort of daily meditation

practice to you know, raise your vibration. And I was like, that's very interesting, and to be honest, that's something I lack, something that I struggle with, you know, to to be consistent and keep a routine that I wish I had that, you know, that skill or that ability or whatever, because I'm being pulled in so many directions mentally all the time that I just constantly feel burned out. I'm like, you know, how do how do people just get up and go? Sometimes it's like all you can do is

just to wake up, you know. So I was like that, that's really interesting, and I kind of put it in in in the back seat and just kept going, and I was like, I do believe that's a thing that it's it's something we should all seek to do, is develop some sort of daily discipline or routine or something like that. And you know, in the background the whole

time been developing the skill of meditation. But what good is a skill without having some sort of daily practice or daily routine, or at least regular not literally seven days a week, but regular. You know, there's there's what's the point. How do we develop it if if we don't have some sort of practice, And you know, got got to got to meet some people who are more or less a part of the templar night tradition. And

I know people from all kinds of backgrounds. I know Freemasons, I know Resicrusians, I know Templars, I know people in the CIA and NASA, I know, you know, monks, like people from like any background you could imagine has has reached out to me. But one that I find of particular interest lately has been the templar knights. And I've made some friends and just you know, like just asking a lot of questions, what is this about? What's what's the give me the goods? Like what does it mean

to be a templar knight? And you know, you come to find out that in the medieval times, and I suspect this is was all the time, But in medieval times when when the Church had kind of become this this empire, this great institution, you know, in those days, you had monks and you had knights. But even then knights were more or less still like a sacred religious institution.

The the institution of knighthood could could be seen as one that is under God, that the oaths are sworn under God, and the countries and nations of the time, and even the kingdoms and the kings, all the oaths are under God. And that wasn't like it is today where it's like people get on TV and they debate like should we have Bible in school? Like No, this was the way of the land. This was understood. It was God. It was it was it was you know,

are you Catholic? Are you Protestant? Are you whatever? This was just the lay of the land, right. But at that time, the monks had this thing known as the Divine Office. Where what is alex thirteen or nine or how many days hours out of the day is it? I think it's the seven prayer times is seven? I think it's thought it was nine. It doesn't matter. There's a number. It could be different depending on the orthodox

or the tradition or whatever. But there was this thing known as the liturgical hours or the Divine Office, where the monks would at x number of hours throughout the day. It's either seven or nine or something like that, and their arbitrary times set every day. It's a schedule. They would go and they would pray, and a lot of times they would go out into the street or in the abbey or whatever and shoot the middle. It was eight,

So anywhere from seven to nine. I think this is telling me eight as in a classic liturgical hours or yeah, it probably depended on the time, the region, the tradition, whatever, But the concept is that they devoted so many hours out of the day to pray, to be connected to God, and they would invite people to pray at these times

as well. Now, the thing about the Templar Knights in particular that I find so fascinating is that in addition to being like a military night order where they had swords and shields and they would go to battle and all that stuff, it was also a religious lay order and still is today. So you have the concept of being a warrior and a monk, or a monk and

a knight. So they had the physical prowess and the training and the combat ability, and they were a fierce order like you know we think of like the Spartans three hundred. The Templars were like that, they were badass to the tune of getting hired out by different crowns right to there were a threat to the crowns and they and they did not have to bend the need to any of them as they were under the pope only. Yeah, very interesting. If you google the Templar Knights, it's like

it's a Catholic military order that is not true at all. Actually, it's it's more like a mystical gnostic complicated thing. But anyway, just stop rambling, because this isn't going to be like a whole Templar Night episode. I just was kind of kind of walking you guys through my rabbit hole of

why I got fascinated by this. You know, you come to find out that the knights were no exception to the divine office, and they were simultaneous fulfilling the role of the warrior and the monk where they would pray at these certain times throughout the day. So a part of the tradition now today. And there's a lot of reasons for this. There's a lot of implications why we should do this, why we should have some sort of discipline.

You know, Rudolf Steiner talked about it. Even Basically, what they do today is they decide to start with five minutes a day that you're supposed to develop some sort of practice of five minutes a day of prayer and meditation. And we were kind of talking about this on the Way of Light episode, and it's called a rule of life, and knights and monks would adopt this, where it's a devotion to daily prayer meditation. But we're in modern times.

We have cell phones that are constantly ding ding ding ding, emails and bills and phone calls and texts, social media. We have jobs, we have to drive to and from work, and then we have to get home, and then we have to take care of kids and then go to bed and then wake up and go back to work. And it's like we have such crazy busy lives that nobody has the time anymore. Unless you're on a mountain in China or you know, in the Middle East or

somewhere in Europe. Nobody has had time to just be a monk anymore and go pray eight to nine hours a day at these different times. And who wants to do that anyway? It's boring. You know, but there's a purpose to it and why they did it, and it was a different world than but we don't live in that world anymore. We live in a fast modern world. So of course, with it being in ancient esoteric order,

who has survived into modern times. Of course, you know, in occult sciences and esotericism, I think, in addition to all of the tradition and mystery, the rituals and those kinds of things, the secrecy and all that stuff, a real in my opinion, the real merit of some sort of truth, esoteric or otherwise is in a sense the efficiency of the path to get there. So you can

think of like the Monroe Institute, for example. It's something I wanted to talk about this episode anyway, but this is a great natural segue into that in the ancient times, you would, or even in modern times, you know, if they still even do this thing in places like Tibet or India or whatever, you would devote so many years of your life being into disciple under a guru or something like that, and they're teaching you these progressive phases of practice to learn to be able to shift your

consciousness into other states to eventually the desired outcome is to have some sort of transcendent mystical experience like leaving the body, or telepathic encounters and transmissions or things like that.

You know, like that's the end goal after many, many, many years of practice, and then today you just you can go to the Minroe's two and you're there for five or six days and you listen to these sounds and you do the techniques, and then it's just like poo, if you can go out of body or whatever it is that happens. It's different for everybody. So it's efficiency. It's not that those things are bad or that they're wrong. It's just that as time goes on, we get smarter

and we develop more efficiency. And I think it's like in science we use the principle of Aukham's razor that we want to apply the most minimal path to get to the truth of, you know, the conclusion what we're studying. The simplest explanation is required to solve a problem. What's the problem. I'm a human living in this miserable world, and I want to feel better. I want to be happier, I want to have joy. I don't want to fucking suffer all the time. Okay, Well here start with five

minutes a day of prayer meditation. Oh okay, I can do that. You know, I don't have ten hours a day to go pray in the street corner, you know, in the town square of the abbey where all the monks gather, Like, I just don't have that time anymore. But so you want to meet yourself where you're at.

And the idea is, you know, not being so hard on yourself either that that you want to be consistent, that you want to develop some sort of consistency that you start with like a minimal amount, and then you build that gradually over time. You're learning to, like what

Rudolph Steiner said, exercise that discipline. But we talked about this on the Way of Light episode as well, that the three paths to becoming a pure portal for the infinite, you know, a more or less awakened being where basically you are seeking to realize God within you're You're you're becoming a portal for the how your consciousness to flow through your human vessel is the concept again talk to

me by my friend who is a Knight. Coherence aperture and state where you're seeking to become, removing the layers that apply the filter to that wholeness of light, that is the God that's shining through you. Yeah, removing the pollution or the falsehoods, the falsehoods, the films, the anything that this light would pass through. Right, And we discussed all of that just recently. Sorry jump in there. No, No,

that's great. And I'm also like sort of trying to filter my thoughts into a little narrow path here because I came into this and I was like, I don't want to research anything, I just want to talk, right, So it's a little bit of a different format here. Yeah. So I mean, you know, thinking rule of life like rule of life isn't from what I understand anybody's thing. It's not. It's just a general idea of cultivating practices

that leave room for Jesus, is what it says. But if you want to remove dogma from it entirely, that's that's totally okay. Really if that if that helps me explain it to you, then perfect. But but building these habits that allow you to leave room for God is what the term I'll use for the rest of this probably to have a connection with God. Right, and then you begin building upon this, right, excuse me, You begin

building the pillar, building the foundation of your rule. So, speaking personally, like, I hear this, and I think, okay, well, we're looking for consistency. And I'm, you know, a little bit more on the analytical side, and I'm like, all right, I'm gonna build consistency into my day. So then I draw my day out by the hour of like a normal day, what normally happens. Then I'm like, okay, well, like six am, I can fit this in. And then I start on Monday and it goes great, six am boom.

I get up and pray for five minutes. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, well, Saturday, I sleep in. I miss six am, and then I feel like shit, and I get mad at myself. I'm like, man, you slept in, but I was tired. I needed it. Then Sunday rolls around and I forget again, and then Monday rolls around and I'm off balance, and now I'm beating myself up because I didn't make six am. So the answer to that problem is get rid of six am.

And I was so tied to that. And I'm just speaking personal anecdote now, but maybe this helps somebody of getting so tied to that time or like when does this logically fit into my life that it became more about the schedule and less about the rule and less about the action. So when I released the time, when I when I let go of when does this need to happen, and just started approaching it as this needs to happen. It kind of for me became a game. So and and I'll get into it later and I'll

talk more specifically about what I do. And it all kind of ties into with my with the with the new year, and and just kind of what did I want to accomplish years this year? So I set up four things, and so I have four non negotiables for my day and they all fall in that five minutes like it's it's five minutes of this, five minutes of that, five minutes of the other. And not anywhere does it say what time I have to do this. It just

says that I have to do this. So on a perfect day, I'm getting these done in the morning, and they're usually the first things that I do. But not every day is perfect, and I don't feel the same every day. So you know, I love to pray in the morning. It's great. If I forget until I crawl into bed at night, then I'm praying right there before I go to sleep. Yeah, because check boom, I check the box. Like, so the game for me has become checked the box, right, and so you know, and I'll

get more into it personally. But another one of those things on my list is right. So I now make an effort to write for five minutes every day, but I at this point never find myself watching the clock, and it's really less about five minutes and more in my mind of like, I need to write today. So on my worst day, it's two sentences. I'll go, I'll open up, I'll date the page. All right, I'm writing today. All right, Okay, Monday morning, I'm tired. I don't want

to be writing. I have nothing to write about. And if that's all I write, I did it. I checked the box. The momentum carries into tomorrow. Tomorrow will be better. Instead of saying, oh, I don't feel like writing, I'm not going to write, I just write that I didn't feel like writing, check the box, and move on to tomorrow. So I just want to add that in here, right, and I can if you want me to jump into like what I do and stuff, I'd be more than

happy we can talk about that stuff. I wanted to build up to that and like, well why do we go to his? But so again, as was because I'm just like having conversations with my friends who are you know, temple knights, and it's very cool, like the kind of practices that they haven't what they're into, and I'm very much a big fan. And it's just like, you know, we talked about the coherence avatur state thing. This is the model to become like the best version of yourself

as is practiced today by true seekers of knighthood. And there's such a deep meaning to knighthood. It's not just being a dude in armor, you know, with a sword, but it's more so being representative of you know, an order, a spiritual order. You know, they're dunk in the Tall, Yeah, like they're dunk in the Tall or Michael, you know, the King of the Angels, the Prince of the Angels, whatever you want to call them, you know, angels or knights,

they're knights of God. They're in service to the to the King and the Queen, you know, and that there are orders on earth that are reflections of the true orders above in the spirit world. But you know, the whole, the whole principle is cool that you know, we can't

sit still and be stagnant. The consciousness is evolving, that we have to seek constantly and aspire to grow, that we have to aspire to make progress in the spiritual realm, very much encouraged in the physical too, right, And of course there's a lot of reasons why people can can't necessarily do that, and that's totally understandable. But there's no

reason why we can't grow spiritually. And you know, there's there's just no excuse for wanting to be a hedonistic individual who is completely disconnected from the light and doesn't seek to grow or be good and and and be a vessel for goodness in this world.

prayer I have memorized. But it talks about like, you know, don't go where gold robes and pray out on the street like the Sadducees and the Pharisees, but goes pray silently in your closet, like don't don't just you know, it's like paradox because like you just got to do this shit. You got to get it done. You know, you got to have discipline. The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand now, like always seek to attain it. Right, It's here in the present now if you seek it.

So we talked about coherence averturn state. So like it's what Alex was saying. The coherence thing is reducing all of your egos into one, all of your identities, your masks, your personas, reducing it all onto one. When I'm with this person, I don't like this thing, whatever it is, but then when I'm with that person I do. It's like, well, you're lying, you're not being honest with yourself or them.

You're wearing masks. So the more masks we have, the less we're able to be connected with our higher self. So we have to be coherent with ourself with and coherence of mind and heart. We have to live in harmony with the intellect of the mind and the heart, you know, being kind, being loving, empathetic, for giving altruistic aperture.

And there's a whole lot that could be said about this, but just to put it very simply, it's that the psychic aperture opens up within the mind when techniques are established that create the hemispheric bridge or the hemi sync, the hemispheric synchronization. So once the hemispheres of the brain

become synchronized, then the psychic aperture opens up. Well duh, you know, the Monroe'situte told me that and told you that, and it's very commonly accepted, and there's this whole thing, so like we don't even have to question that, we know that that is true, that the hemi spheric synchronization expands us into a whole brain state where we can

experience other realities, other dimensions, things that are paranormal. You know, they even study my dad's brain while he's connecting with the orbs on television, you know, for the History Channel, and you know, there's all kinds of fantastic stuff going on in his brain that baffled the neuroscientist. I mean it was like changed his life, you know. And then

the third one is state. So when we establish through coherence that we have to have great, honest and true moral character to be a vessel for higher consciousness, we have to be one of one consciousness. And then we established that the hemispheric bridge opens the psychic aperture within the brain. Then the third part of this trinity is seeking to be in the deep states of consciousness, the expanded states, the psychic states, which is where the rule of life comes in, which is why we do some

sort of routine of daily prayer meditation. So you know, we talk in the old times all the time, or we talk about the old times all the time about how in the ancient days, to be an initiative a mystery school, you would have to go and say, hey, I want to learn the mysteries. So they would say, okay, well, if you're serious, then you're going to commit to a vowel silence, whatever period that is. If it's back then,

I mean it could have been extreme. It could have been up to a year, just to prove that you were dedicated and that you had what it took to be a vessel for the mysteries, because we understand in the non physical worlds this. Sometimes truth is not so easy to explain. Sometimes it can only be experienced, it can only be shown, It can only be transmitted through thought and through emotion. Words don't always paint the picture,

you know. Words are like a puzzle and you have to put them together, and then you have to like reverse engineer the definition of the combination of different symbols and syllables, it sounds spoken by mouth and assume that they mean what you think they mean. There's a lot of there's a lot of room for error with language.

God forbid you're texting someone, right. So sometimes truth is transcendent and it can only be understood experientially through I don't know gnosis, right, So it's like, how do we get to that state? Well, we walk the path, we walk away. So yeah, I've that's how I got into the path of like the daily prayer meditation thing. You know, I stopped doing regular prayers a long time ago. It's like I just I just I pray. When I pray, it's just like I'm telepathically, you know, speaking to God,

speaking to the Holy Spirit. But then the templars are explaining to me it's like, you know, do that. That's great, But also as a part of your think of it as training. You know, you you training to to spiritually grow. You're getting reps in you know that you're connecting to the memetic precedents. There's a memetic precedence in certain prayers that are very ancient, like the Lord's Prayer for example, or the Ave Maria, you know, held Mary full of Grace,

whatever whatever, whatever, I don't have it memorized. Is it didn't grow Catholic. It doesn't have to be Christian prayer either. You can do you can do you know, mantras, you can do Korea, whatever it like, whatever, whatever it is that you do, that is a real, universal, uh proven

method to expand into higher states of consciousness. The idea is that you're connecting to the memetic precedence of that that has been charged by millions or billions of souls over thousands of years that have been connecting to this force. You can think of a prayer as as an egregor or a friendly word to say, because a lot of people I got a comment it was like, well, I heard that all egregores are evil. No they're not. But like, if that word is scary to you, then think about

it like a cloud. You know, we have Wi Fi, we have the cloud, and there are certain thought forms that exist in the cloud, so to speak. So like, for example, the Lord's Prayer is a very powerful cloud, database of spiritual information that has been charged by billions of souls. It's been given juice by all the faithful Christians who believe in its power, and it's a beautiful prayer.

It's my favorite, you know. So the idea is you're establishing some sort of daily routine through meditation, experiencing the states of higher consciousness, which is achieved by the hemispheres of the brain synchronized, and then spending time in that state, and the very act of having to focus on five minutes of prayer. So like, for me, like I said, I picked the Lord's Prayer, right, the very act of having to focus on a prayer for five minutes. Oh, I messed it up. I got to go back and

do it again. Because memory is a fickle thing, right, That very act becomes meditation because you're focusing on the accurate recital of the words you know, so you're spending time in this expanded state, and then you're also focusing on the prayer in that state. So what you're doing is you're sharpening the mind and the spirit to become highly aware and conscious and expanded states. You know. People are like, meditate, think of nothing. Okay, well, trick question.

That is a trick question. Empty your mind. That's more accurate, right, You're supposed to empty your mind and all that. I don't really have much to think about. All I can think about is getting the Lord's prayer right for five minutes. And I find that I really enjoy it. I really enjoy it. And it's like Alex said, you know, if I don't do it during the day, I do it when I'm laying down there in my head's on the pillow, and it helps. Just check the box. Yeah, just check

the box. It doesn't matter. It's the momentum. It's it's not a race. It's not a race. It's it's like, you don't have to be perfect. We're not. No one's asking you here to be perfect. I don't think God is even asking you to be perfect. It's about it's a technology. It's a technology. It's about building that foundation and keeping the momentum. It's about establishing a link to the other world constantly and becoming connected to that cloud so to speak. When I say cloud, I mean like computing,

you know, tech technological terms. But yeah, and it's a beautiful technology. It's not about being a faithful uh uh, you know, good Chris, our Buddhist monk or whatever. It's not about that. It's about exploiting a technology. What do I mean when I say technology? Hemispheric bridge is a technology. Going back to the tool analogy here pretty much. Yeah, yeah, well,

I mean there's technology. Consciousness is technology, you know. So when we apply certain techniques like holotropic breathing or two mo inner fire, the whim Hoff method, which is kind of based on Tumo inner fire, the Monroe is too. Yeah, when we learn to sharpen our consciousness through these technologies that we can achieve certain effects. That's that's kind of

what the mystery schools are all about. You know, when you read them online, it's like again, and I know this because I was guilty of this when I was younger, and I hadn't you know. Really, everyone starts off like Freemason's worship the devil and they run the world. And then when you get to the like inner circles of real people and you start asking questions and they're very open with you, and they you know, they tell you what it's all about. And the sindy resources they let

you read. And I'm not a Mason, but I'm just saying this is how it works. That you're like, they worship the devil, blah blah blah blah. And then you find out the truth that all of these different traditions, like all of them come from the same stream, which

is Atlantis. That's that's literally it. That's like blatantly telling you the mystery that they all come from Atlantis and one way or another, whether it's this one was first and then this one shot off of this one, and it's just this branch of all these different traditions that are like related in their distant cousins or they're like sister traditions that you know, they feed into each other.

It all comes from Atlantis. It all comes from Atlantis to Egypt to uh to Greece to Jesus basically Gnostics. That's a big part of it too modern times. You know, Mason's the whole square and compass thing. It's all about the myth of you know, Hirambiff, the master builder who constructed Solomon's Temple, and even that is based on an older myth all the way from Actually I wasn't told if I was allowed to say what it's based on

or not, so I'll just refrain. But even that's based on something older, you know, and it's it's all recycling all the way back to earlier periods in history from You don't have to cut it. I'm just not gonna say what it was. That's all I didn't say. So, and it might be totally fine. It might be something that you just look up and I just I don't know. I don't. People are telling me things and they're like, you could say this, you can't say this. I don't.

I don't want to break anyone's trust. But it's all

recycled back from Atlantis. So a point being to move on from that that since the times of Atlantis, you know, the whole story there is that there was a precursor civilization who had contact with angels, with with with higher beings from another world that are immortal and they exist outside of time and space so the religions of the world today are like all just basically offshoots of the original tradition, which was truth, which was universal and it

was the condition of being. Basically that in the higher worlds, as you move through the planes of reality and you graduate each level and you reduce more and more levels of illution, you become more aligned with universal law, with the harmony of existence, which is God, which is the one true source. You know, it's love. Love is the force that animates all existence. And it's light tooasically it's a matrix of light, you know. So to quit going

in circles about this. These these traditions, as they've evolved over time, have picked up a lot of very valuable tools, a lot of very valuable consciousness tools, and all of that crazy esoteric alchemical symbolism and you know, veiled secrecy and mystery. A lot of that is really just telling the story that you know what I just said about the fall from Atlantis, and that we are beings living in an illusory world. We come from the higher place

and we have to awaken our consciousness. We have to come into contact with that higher world through nosis, through whether it's out of body you know, in places like Egypt and Tibetan Greece, they were obsessed with inducing near death states through certain rituals and involving breathing techniques and maybe herbs and things like that, because they knew that the true God was in the spirit world, that it's consciousness, that it's the secret, hidden God that thought the universe

into order. You know, it's pure love, it's pure light, it's pure harmony. So they knew that you could connect to this entity, well, is really not even an entity. It transcends that and it's ineffable. Jesus in the Gnostic Scriptures over and over again refers to God as the ineffable one, the invisible one, the hidden one, but over and over the ineffable one, the ineffable one, the first mystery. Right,

God is transcendent and is universal. God is not Christian, God is not Buddhist, God is not Muslim, God is not Hindu. And that that there are certain universal things that work because it is a fundamental part of our nature that we can do techniques that synchronize the hemispheres of the brain so that we can reach expanded states of psychic consciousness, because that's our true nature. This physical material body is an illusion in the sense that it's

it's real, like it's knock on wood. It's real. Your your choices have consequence and they matter, But it's not the whole story that you that there's a much greater part of you beyond the body, that this is the tiniest little sliver of your existence. So that's a really long winded tangent. But the point I'm trying to make is that these these Atlantean mystery traditions, they have a lot of really cool techniques and technologies to slip into

these expanded states. And like it's very fascinating coming from someone who intimately has been involved with the minurositu, which is like the premiere modern version of this without any of the symbolism of the Doglen's just technology, pure technology. It's literally like put on headphones as technology and you listen and it synchronizes the brain without any effort. Right in the old days, you would have to prove you were worthy. This is why I started talking about this.

You prove you were worthy to receive the mystery. What's the mystery you want to find out? You got to prove you worthy. So then you do it, you do your vowel silence, you do your you know, your purification, all that stuff, and then you become initiated. And then it's like, guess what the reason we had you do all that purification stuff is because for you to do these techniques, you have to have a pure consciousness, you know, but to speak to the infinite, to go out of

the body into the other worlds. You may be faced with some challenges that require purity, but require a humble heart. You know. You may be challenged by projections of your thought that can appear terrifying or whatever. So you have to be pure, you have to be worthy, have to be ready. So like the the probationary process was twofold, it was to show that you were dedicated, but also

to prepare you for the great initiatory process. Right, So they would do things in ancient times like for example, you always see the pose of Osyrus with his hands on his shoulders. Well, that's a mudra, and we know that there's nerves and the hands and the finkers and when you connect and cross your arms that it causes a connection between the hemispheres of the brain. Certain mudras

you could think of them as kinesthetic anchors. Right, So, like you always see Jesus like this, or you see this a lot where they do the you know the Yeah, they have all these different mudras, even Christians and the Renaissance era and in the Medieval era. Why would they draw Jesus with mudras like Buddha or Shiva. Why? Well, because there's something to this. It's a technology. Mudra does not belong to India, it does not belong to Jesus.

It's universal, belongs to human consciousness. It's a fundamental part of our multi dimensional existence. So there's things like certain vowel sounds that stimulate the psychic organs of our consciousness through the seven chakra system. There are mental techniques like five minutes a day of prayers, emptying your mind and focusing on the recital of you know, the script, so to speak. You're connecting to a force that is being charged by billions of souls. So I don't mean to

sound preachy. I'm just excited about this. It's a topic I'm fascinated about, and it's a rabbit hole that I plunge down, and Alex and I are regularly, you know, we're trying to keep each other on our game. So something I thought was really cool. And you know, I truly didn't grow up Catholic, so I didn't even know what the rosary was. I just thought it was like jewelry. I mean, I knew there was something to it, but

I thought it was purely a Catholic thing. But then they explained to me, it's like, no, in the East they have mala beads. This is what it is, this is why you use it. And I was like, oh, I didn't know about the decades and all that. But for those that don't know, like me, because you're a Protestant degenerate and you know, you fight the man and you don't believe in the powers that be who killed Jesus and still want to teach you how to how to be suck it Alex. It'll be too hard than yourself. No,

I'm just kidding. But he taught me how the rosary works. And you know, it's like it's ten beads separated by one or three, and then there's another and what is it fifty fifty beads? Yeah, well total, it's how many decades. It's five decades of ten, so fifty sections fifty nine beads total. Yeah, so fifty nine beads, but fifty of them are for the sections where you're supposed to you know, do they call it a decade of the Rosary. So I'm just going to talk about what I do, and

Catholic Alex can elaborate. But but I thought it was really cool. It's a technology, and they do this in India and in Tibet and in China they have you know, the monks have mala beads and it's the same purpose. So they're separated by something. You can't see this here. I'm really far away from the camera, but there's like a tiny little bead and this is not a rosary. This is a crystal chocoate bracelet that I had that

I've adopted for this purpose. And I'm actually in the process of ordering beads and stuff and I'm going to make my own rosary. My temple are friends they wear rosaries and it's to like remind them of their practice. I'm like, that's a good idea, that's really cool, and you know, just take it off and then you can

you can do it. So the way a rosary works is you have the sections of ten beads, and you just you do a prayer as you're touching the beads, so you're not sitting here counting, okay in my own three by the way, I'm trying to remember the script that empty in my mind. So you're just touching the beads, and once you get to the tenth bead, you try to move to the next one, and it's either like really small, or it's really big, or it's like a

different kind of material or something. So you have that tactile reminder that you've you've done your ten And I have found through timing it over and over and over and over and over again, that doing the Lord's Prayer ten times or one decade is almost exactly five minutes. So it's the same thing with the Hail Mary Ave Marie as well. It's five minutes. I mean, it's so it averages five minutes every time, you know what I mean.

It's it's it's I've found that out. Yeah, it might be ten seconds shorter, it might be ten seconds, twenty seconds longer, it depends on if you're Russian, but it's right there at five minutes every time. And it gets addictive actually when you begin to believe in the process, and you get addicted to like doing it each day. And it's like Alex said, even if your day is busy, like when I hit the pillow, what I do is I go into focus fifteen and then I that's the

other thing too. I wanted to expand on the Monroe thing because the purpose of this is to be in the state, in the psychic state, right every day, coming into contact with it at least once a day. Right, So I have found, like for me what I really enjoy. Oh cool, I already have the skill to go into that state. It's very thoroughly and efficiently and meticulously trained by the monroesitu. They call it different things, but it's

all the same thing. It's when the bridge between the hemispheres, the corpus calism, begins to connect the two hemispheres and they become synchronized, and then you go into that whole brain psychic state.

typically will go into focus twelve. If I'm laying in bed at night, I go into fifteen because it's a deeper state and it could be really disorienting in the middle of the day if I'm trying to get shit done or whatever. Focus twelve is profound too, but Focus fifteen is really like, it's just it's a me thing. I prefer to do that one. When I'm laying in bed. You go into the state, and then you know, I do the prayer in the state. And now we're talking

about kinesthetic anchors in memetic precedents. I'm beginning to find that when I start to say the Lord's Prayer, I immediately shift into focus twelve. And as was explained to me, the more you begin to practice being in these states and developing that routine, that discipline, it's like it's training the psychic muscle, it becomes easier to open that aperture. It's like muscle memory, spiritual muscle memory. So there's a

benefit to these kinds of practices. And again, this is not to be preachy, this is not to be a good CRI shin or a good monk. It's about exploiting an effective technology to sharpen our mind in our spirit. As times get darker, we have to fill our cup. Right. I'm never going to be the guy that's like, oh you, I love you know, giving you bad advice and encouraging you to you know, feel like shit and not be happy. No,

even I'm not here to be liked. I'm not here to make everybody happy and to make everybody feel like you know a certain way about me. I'm just here to try to inspire and uplift people and share what I know, what I believe in. And this is something that I highly encourage, just the the practice of developing discipline, developing a connection to the spirit. You don't even have to do the beads and the five minutes of the Lord's Prayer. You do what you want, but do something.

Something is better than nothing. I found that I really like this process because it also feels like I'm connecting to an ancient tradition. It's fun, It's like like Alex, It's like a game, like like you know, people people go uh to I don't know, Renaissance faars because they want to feel like they're at medieval times. They go to Disney World because they want to feel like they're in a magical whatever. They go to the movies because

they want to experience fantasy and sci fi. Well true, truly, I mean what I what I meant by it becomes a game is like those what are those video games like Schedule one, Schedule one the simulators, well or like sims where yeah, similar, I don't play these games, but like you, you, a new day begins and then there's boxes you have to check. Yeah, there' shit to do. Yeah, it's like errands, like the things you have to accomplish.

And so at least in my mind, when I break down the objective into checkable boxes and and that the goals are super attainable. You know, I'm just asking for five minutes. I'm really asking for twenty minutes, broke out at however I want. But that's your path, that's my path. I do the five prayer and well, no, I'm saying it's four different it's four different five minute boxes. So it's four different goals that are easily attainable. So it's like bang bang bang. You can knock them out, you

can spread them out, you can do whatever. It allows you to be flexible. But I won't go into that yet. I'm waiting for my queue here. I mean, you just jump in whenever you okay, But I mean I like to talk about specifically. Oh yeah, well, I just want to remind people before we move on to like your specific thing. This is not like, shame on you if you don't know you know this or that. This is like, hey, you feel called to want to be connected to the

spirit and to progress and develop. This is highly recommended. This really works. That's the point of this. Not to get tied up in the dogma. I'm not I'm not telling you to pray to a specific thing. I'm just telling you, Hey, these are the tools, these are the technologies. This is how I personally utilize it. Yeah, what I enjoyed to do on the daily. Yeah. Yeah. Take this information and do whatever you want with it. Yeah yea, yeah, that's really You could do the serenity prayer, you could

do Buddhist mantras, it doesn't matter. You could do pure meditation and whatever. Yeah yeah, yeah, you could do pure pure meditation without words. Yeah. But I think for me personally, the tradition of the decade doing the ten beads and saying the Lord's Prayer, which is a prayer I grew up saying like every night from it to sleep, and I love it and I'm nostalgic over it. It makes time go quick and it gets addicting getting those ten reps in it. It's like training a muscle, you know,

and you just do whatever you want. This is not about a preachy thing. This is about you know this works right, and I don't. I really don't want to share this with any sort of feeling of like I'm better than you. Hell, I do this and you don't like that has nothing to do with it. I purely want to share because sometimes like giving a literal example helps people connect the dots. It helps me learn. I'm I'm a learner by watching, by being told directly, this

is how it's supposed to look. Right. Take this framework, don't you don't be sure steal my thing, specifically if it speaks directly to you. I'm not telling you have to take the framework and build it yourself, build what works for you. That being said, I think I think this is really important for anybody who is going through

a tough time. Anybody who feels like they're spiraling, anybody who feels like the walls are closing in and the world's good darker, or just someone like Ryan saying, who's trying to, you know, go through that initiation to get to the next step in their spiritual journey. There's many benefits here. But the reason I say what I say is I was really fortunate enough to begin this process

prior to the birth of my son. And it's having, yeah, having this this technology, this system in my life to fall back on, because the time for me got evaporated instantly. And I'm sure most parents know what I'm talking about. We bring this newborn home and it was kind of like a mini ego death. I talk about it a little bit on full disclosure, just the way it lined up, and so I'm scrambling of trying to figure out who I am and what's going on with me, and having

this rule of life to fall back on. It was like I didn't do anything for myself except check these boxes, and that was so important. It was constant. It was such an anchor for my life, and that is the purpose. That's the purpose. Yeah, that life is going to get tough, life is going to be turbulent. The future is unknown.

I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow, but I do know that I'm going to try my best to check my boxes to accomplish my rule of life because I know that the minimums, the minimums required for victory are small, and it's small by design. Yeah, So getting in specifically now, with all of that laid out, my specific rule of life every day is five minutes of prayer, five minutes of writing, but like focused writing, so journaling, not just like writing a letter to my grandma. Five

minutes of movement and five minutes of focused reading. So reading, writing, movement and prayer, and that's it. That's it. So, and the prayer is meditation by the way, Yeah, prayer meditation for me is specifically prayer. I pray a decade on the rostery. That is meditation, right, It is meditation. That's it. That's literally what I'm saying. It is meditation. Yes, and

people should not confuse the two. Yes, there's a difference in reciting a script of a prayer and then praying in the way of which I see is no different than just like telepathically speaking to God directly. That's great too. Don't ever stop doing that. But there is a value in the prayers that must be memorized because it's like we said, the ancients knew this, that repeating them over and over again. It's it's stay connected to the presence.

That what we should always seek to do is be connected to the presence of God, especially as times get tough and better times are coming. But you know, I have always said for many years that it would always be darkest before the dawn. And since the apocalypse has begun and the I'll just say that the files were unsealed more or less, and things have started coming out

that are very shocking to people. You know, the new knowledge is quickly coming to the world, which all of this is going to lead to the inevitable conclusion of the existence of God. And people are going to be furious that this was taken from us and that this was hidden from us. But God has always around you. God is inside of you. You know, it says in I can't remember if it's the Gospel of Truth or if it's the Gospel of Philip, but it says, uh split split a wooden log, or uh split a stone,

and there you'll find God. God is everywhere. You know, God is always around you. But through your free will, through your choice, you must connect, you know, and the ancients knew this. They always wanted to be connected to the spirit. Think of like Native Americans. They were always

trying to be connected to the great Spirit. But that doesn't just mean oh, yeah, I believe in God and then turn around and just like you know, be horrible and be a liar, and I have all these different masks, but this has to be a part of you always. This the true knowledge of how this works, the spirit world, that it's it doesn't take breaks, it's always there, it's

always watching. That's what the all seeing eye, the angle with the eye in the middle, that's what it means is it's the witness consciousness that is projecting and observing all reality. It's observing you from within, from within your own consciousness. It's observing everything. It's the all seeing eye of God. Nothing escapes it. So everything you do, every action,

every moment, every thought, nothing escapes God. So you know, the idea here in our little simulation is we're supposed to remember who we are and remember all of this spiritual truth that is universal and transcends religion, and we're supposed to connect, seek to always be connected to the real world, which is the spirit world, you know. So like these practices and and these things are ways that we can constantly seek to be connected to the presence,

the eternal presence of God. Now, when I say something like God is not Christian or Muslim or Buddhist or Hindu or whatever, that doesn't mean that I'm saying Jesus is not real, Buddha is not real, Moses is not real. I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that they have not contributed to the great human story of you know, connecting with God and the interaction of the divine in our world. I'm not saying they're fake. I'm saying that

they all play a part, but that God is transcendent. However, I do personally believe that, you know, the story and the drama and the message of Christ is the sharpest way, and the majority of Western esoteric symbolism has to do with that whole narrative, the whole Jesus thing. It's with so deep, it's so incredibly deep. How much attention is paid to this, how much the you know, the elites, they hate Christ, why they don't hate Buddha, they don't

hate all. You know, again, I'm not saying that Jesus is God. You have to worship Jesus. I'm not saying that. I'm saying Jesus was probably saying the same stuff too, like, hey, you gotta you gotta, you gotta awaken. This is the way, this is how God works. He wasn't saying, worship me, you fools, or you know whatever. He I don't care if if you worship, or if you have to confess with your mouth that Jesus is God. I don't. I don't do that. I don't. I don't necessarily believe that's

that's what's required. I think that what is required is that you have to spiritually grow. That it's about the vibrational state that you are at the moment that your consciousness leaves your body or otherwise, that like Jesus said, the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. That every given moment, the presence of God is with you, and you have to, of your own free will, seek to connect with that. And that as you walk the path of light or the way of light, your spirit, you know, the aperture opens,

you begin to reduce all those masks. Remember coherence of mind and heart, and the higher version of yourself that exists in every reality above this one begins to flow more thoroughly through the prism of your human body. You begin to become more of God incarnate when you follow the way of Light. And I do believe that Christ was probably fully God incarnate, that you know, the true God probably literally used him as a vessel to bring

these truths to mankind. So again I wouldn't say I'm a Christian, you know what I mean, I'm a follower of the way. I believe in the light. I believe in the goodness of the universe, and that there's accountability, there's virtue that we should follow, but that we're not supposed to be perfect either, that we're supposed to aspire to be better, to grow, to evolve, you know, to never be stagnant and sitting still and just be hedonists.

I mean, you know, you know that when you see like someone who's I don't know, addicted to drugs or addicted to a substance, there's something in the pity of your gut if you're normal and you're not like you know, a part of that same kind of vibration, and you see that person and you're like, God bless and they're struggling.

You know, you know that people who are hedonistic and addicted to vices that are very destructive and harmful and negative and just have have degenerate values and and and you know, like you just know, you just feel it in your gut. You're like that person, they've you know, God bless them. And then you see someone who's well adjusted and balanced and moral and upright and virtuous, and you're like, that's that's a good dude. I like that dude.

You know, that's a good person. We all know, like we have to dance around to like, oh, I don't want to be judgmental. I don't want to be harsh, and we shouldn't. We never should. Really, It's like what Steiner said, we have to control those harsh thoughts or

the the door will be closed to us. Right. But it's like we all, inherently, at a gut feeling, know that we feel a certain way about people who are high vibrational, in a certain way about people who are low vibrational, and that even at the very base level of our consciousness, we can see that there are levels

to the vibrational state. Being very high. They're clean, they're happy, they're joyful, they're loving, they're selfless, they're kind, they're not judgmental, they seek to uplift others, down to very low vibration. You know, it's a scale of this, but like you know, the idea is to constantly seek to be higher, to seek to be better, to seek to be more kind and more true and more loving and more compassionate and honest and you know, selfless, not in the sense that

we just let people walk all over us either. You know, it's like you remember a warrior in Amunk they would say Buddha heart demon hand right, or it's like it's better to be a war you're in a garden and a gardener at war, right, Like you you should be prepared to take care of business and and you know, defend yourself or whatever it is that you know, mentally

from verbal attacks or physically or otherwise. But aside from all that, not letting people take advantage of you and just being a complete pushover it, Like you should be kind, you should seek to be kind and virtuous and you know, truthful and honest, and I just I don't. I don't. I don't feel like otherwise it is good advice. I think it's negligent. I think it's harmful to encourage being

complacent and stagnant. I don't want to just like tell people, yeah, you should just be a pig and go wallow in the mud. No, I want to be a night dude. I want to I want to be better than I am now, you know, and maybe I never will be, but damn, it feels good to you know, at least take little baby steps and try, you know, take little baby steps. Mess it up yesterday, Tomorrow is a new day, especially if it truly is all about intention. Yeah. We talked about this a long time ago in the Ageless

Wisdom episode that the first initiation of the soul. According to the theosophical tradition, the first initiation of the soul is when you have the inkling or kernel of a desire to be better, to change. That's the first initiation, the very shift into having the conscious thought that you want to be better. You just pass the first level and then it gets deeper and more intricate, you know about through many lifetimes, going through like five total levels

or something like that. I think the fifth level was coming in a light, being in another reality, immortal consciousness, you know, like Jesus, I can ascend a master, but that that's their tradition and I don't. I don't. I don't have much close connection to that. You know, I don't know, but it's very interesting and I do feel like that makes a lot of sense that the first great trial of the soul is to decide to aspire. Christ is not someone I worship, but he's someone that

I want to be like. I think we should all want to be like. And that's you know, I think. I think to suggest otherwise is a lie. I think it's harmful. That's like saying, you know, go shoot heroin.

I don't care, do what you want. I don't care, no, no, do no harm like, and then includes yourself like but you know, not to be judgmental of you or yourself, but like, you should have the programming in your brain to grow not to harm yourself, not to be destructive with your thoughts, but to be loving and kind with your thoughts towards yourself and towards others, to be in joy in a heavenly state of mind, not in a hellish state of mind and heavenly includes virtue, it includes

mastery of the teachings, it includes temperance. And the Satanic side is think like bacchanalia, the Dionysian rituals. That doesn't mean Dionysus is bad because then you get into the nitty gritty of the orphic mysteries and it's like similar to Jesus. But the Romans and the Greeks had different

ideas of this. So in Rome they would have these bachanalia where the they would wear masks and they would get in the streets and they would have orgies, sound familiar, eyes, wide shut, stuff like that, where they have these elite Yeah, I don't even need to get into it. But the Satanic side is the lack of virtue, the lack of temperance, of modesty, of justice, of control or mastery. That's why the five pointed star pointing up is they say it's

Venus or you know, the Pentacle. It's consciousness spiraling upwards towards eternal you know, evolution back towards the source or God. And then when you turn the start down, it's the Satanic star and it's consciousness spiraling downward into base animal desires, being a glutton, being a you know, being a pervert, being a whatever whatever the seven deadly sins are you know, a liar, a thief. These vices consuming you and controlling you,

and you have no mastery over them. Satan doesn't require your worship either, that's not the point. Yes, the elites and many people actively do, and it's horrifying and you know it's terrible, but that's not what is required. That's required of them the small inner circles to maintain the show. But what's really required is to not progress on your spiritual path and to be succumbed to the illusion, and to not aspire to be better, just to be happy

with just being an animal. That is the true Satanic path. It's animal consciousness. It's not having the spiritual consciousness the higher teachings. You know. So when you think of a goat, why is it a go ahead? Well, when you hand a goat food, it never stops eating it, never, it never denies it constantly. He just consumes and consumes its

material fleshly desire. So I'm not saying someone who does things that are you know, that are bad and they're not a perfect person, that they're Satanic and they worship Satan. It's not what I'm saying. I'm saying there's opposing energies in the universe of the light in the dark. And it's like you pick which current you want to be

tied to. They satanic force that suppresses you and ties you into hedonistic animal desires consciously or unconsciously, or do you want to be tied to that christ like force, that light force that evolves you upwards beyond the physical, and you know your ability is unfold and secrets begin to be opened and truth is revealed to you in a personal fashion through synchronicity, through angelic contact. The heart

becomes humble. You know, you become lighter, You become lighter and freer, enlightened, until eventually you know you can leave the body and when you die, you don't have to come back. So it's like there's two paths here. I damn sure, I'm not perfect, but I think it's pretty obvious which one, you know, we should choose if we had a choice. So comparison is the thief of joy. The point of this is not to be a freaking badass. It's not to be perfect. It's not to get it

all right. It's just to have some sort of hygiene or routine or discipline, a daily practice to improve your life. It's not about you, you know, shame on you, centers who you know. I don't hit it every single day. I would say, like out of seven days this week, I've probably done it four times. You know. I'm just being honest, like trying to fit it in every day, and I am finding that on the days that I do it, I feel way excited. I did something good today.

I actually committed to something. All the other stuff felt to shit and I didn't and I didn't do it I needed to do hypothetically, but I did this. It's like Alex said, this is a constant. I don't need to do some task like getting a job done at work, or complete the dishes, or clean my room or do my homework or whatever. This is something that I can just do in my mind. I can do it anywhere. I can do it in or out of the body. This is eternal. It's mastery of the spirit. It's it's

it's it's like it's training. It's it's training to achieve

mastery of the spirit. Basically throughout many lifetimes. It's like we talked about in the Tibetan Book of the Dead episode that the bardoes are in every level of life and death until you escape the eternal cycle of Samsara, and that at every level in the three bardowes of the living world and in the three Bardowes of the non physical world between life and death, at every moment, there's an opportunity to awaken to the universal truth that

we are basically Buddha, that we are supreme consciousness in an illusion. And it says many times in the Tibetan Book of the Dead that the one who practices tantra and their living daily life as a daily devotional practice, it's going to be way more adept at navigating this after death experience than the person who is not devoted. So it's the same thing. It's like having a daily

practice enhances the experience of being. It sharpens the intellect, It sharpens even if it's very subtle and it's very gentle, it's exerting a mental force, you know, it's training the mind. So highly recommend it. That's all I got. All right, We'll see you guys next week. We love you very much, and have a good night, Good morning if it's your commute to work. The weird things happened in the backyard.
