Embracing Death

When it comes to to spirituality , when it comes to religion , I can talk all day long and get them two together . It's like . It's like we think that they're uh , uh , fire and ice , but they're , they're really . They're really kind of more like , uh , oil and water . Right , both of them are liquids . They , they don't .

Maybe we feel like they don't work , but they do . And I'm gonna break this down right for your own , for your own individual experience . So I don't know what you got going on , but I'm going to break this down for your own individual experience . So I don't know what you got going on , but we're going to church today .

Good God , almighty , we're going to get started now . So I talked about in the last episode how we go through these stages right , the four stages of the call to adventure the death of the old self , the initiation , illumination and then the return with the gift right ? Stage two is really vital , right ?

If we understand this as the great departure , right , we're leaving . Good God Almighty , here we go , we're leaving . We're leaving , just like when you die you're leaving .

You're leaving this existence , you're leaving this reality so you can go into a new reality with the information and the experience and the perspective that you've learned , so you can come back and do it again , right ?

So when we start understanding that a part of this illumination process is the great departure and here's what I mean by the great departure Death is just a transformation of energy . It's not the ending of something , because we know through thermodynamics that energy can neither be created nor destroyed . That means it's infinite . Hold on when I say this .

Okay , it's infinite . I know your little mind can't grasp infinity , but it's never been created and it's never been destroyed . It has always been . This is what energy is . We know that , on a subatomic level , everything is energy . So , when we understand this thing that we call death , death is not the ending of energy , it is the transformation of energy .

So , this thing that we refer to as death , why don't we think of it as the great departure ? So , the great departure ? What if we refer to this as the spiritual journey of accepting that there is life and that there is death , and that the two are not separate . They're just both ends of the same energy . It's two different ends of the same energy .

So now , when we look at death as a transformation , it's two different ends of the same energy . So now , when we look at death as a transformation , it's not the ending of it . And it doesn't matter what your religion is . Every religion is saying this in some way , shape or form .

Right , we can look at Christianity and say , oh well , you live and go to heaven . Well , what you so scared of death for ? I've never understood that . You believe in heaven but you're scared to die . You believe in heaven , but you're getting caught up in all these things . To me , the battle between infinity and finite ain't never going to win .

So if we know that this physical existence is finite , going through this doctrine or this belief system , why are we so scared of dying ? That's because we don't quite grasp it , because it's done through the mind and the mind thinks that death exists .

So when you start understanding that there is no death , there's just a transformation of energy , now I can start to see , because we live in a holographic universe , as above so below , on the micro and the macro becomes a micro and that micro becomes a new macro . The death , the big death , is you Body doesn't work right .

But then there's multiple deaths , hundreds of deaths that take place within our life . Think about who you are today . The money that you earn today , that ain't the same version of you , what you was earning 10 years ago . You're earning different money now .

So therefore , the version of you to be able to earn the money that you're earning now is not the same version of you that it was back then . How many times do you read a book or you hear a song ? You read a book or you hear a song and you're like dang , this song hits different . Yeah , that's because you're in a completely different life .

You have left that old life and you have a new awareness and a new perspective and a new frequency and a new vibration . So you receive and process information differently . So when we start understanding that death is not the end of something , it's a transition , it's a transformational process .

So in order for you to do and be all that you truly capable are , there's going to be deaths that have to take place . So how do we do that ? Going to be deaths that have to take place . So how do we do that ? When you become okay with physical death , when you become okay with quote unquote dying , this is when you can start living .

This is when you can start living , when I start to embrace and accept mortality and acknowledge that this is inevitably a part of this existence . Now guess what can happen ? I can start living a more fulfilled life . I can start living a life based on like I'm going to go and try this .

I'm going to leave here anyway , I'm leaving , anyway , I might as well go . I might as well go ball to the wall . I might as well say go ham , I might as well go ham , I might as well . I'm leaving when I don't know when I'm leaving . All the more reason for me to go in .

You see , I might as well try to figure out who I am between now and when I leave . I might as well and see how much of this experience I can figure out , how much of this experience can I understand through my perspective . So now , when we do that , so now when we do that we accept our mortality , guess what you can start doing now ?

You can start embracing your immortality .

Good God , almighty , y'all ain't trying to hear me when I know that I , when I embrace mortality , when I understand that this is a part of this existence that , my friends , is , when you move into the space Of connecting with the eternal , the immortal aspect , the spirit , the consciousness , that which actually is the breath of God , of connecting with the eternal ,

the immortal aspect , the spirit , the consciousness , that which actually is the breath of God , when you start to accept that this physical existence at some point is going to come to an end , you are actually moving in to the stage of immortality . Do we see how this works ?

So I know , when I went through the spiritual awakening , I started to question all these concepts , especially through Christianity and everything . I started to question like , what is heaven ? What is it so ? Like ? Here I am , I live 80 years , I do something wrong for 80 years . 80 years it's like , compared to infinity , compared to heaven Wait , hold on .

What's the trade-off here ? And I started to figure out what is heaven . What is it trying to tell me ? What is it really trying to tell me ? Like , what is heaven ? Truly , because I'm going to be punished for what I'm doing here for this 80-year life , for eternity . That's a terrible payoff , that's a bad investment . This don't make no sense . Sense .

My mind couldn't wrap its head around it . I couldn't understand it . I hadn't yet quite moved in the stage of enlightenment , of really accepting mortality , because I thought death still existed . I thought death still existed , so I couldn't embrace immortality , I couldn't grasp it .

But then , once , through meditation and mindfulness practices and plant medicine ceremonies , I started to see that wait , hold on now . Hold on now . There is no death . We look at death as darkness . Darkness was just ignorance . That means we didn't have all the information . Light was the understanding . Why do you think ?

When you hear near-death experiences , when we hear about people , I saw a light . Yeah , yeah , you were moving from the darkness . We think it's dark when we close our eyes and we die . No , no , no , you're actually moving back towards the light . You're moving back to that which you actually were .

So the reason why I'm saying going to use Jesus as an example we want to do this If we look at Jesus instead of thinking Jesus is literal . What if we look at Jesus as a metaphor for your own initiation processes , for you to illuminate ? What if we're just looking at that . Now it applies to everybody .

Now that message is powerful because it transcends any religion , any belief system . So let's think about that first one , the call to adventure . We can use the example of Matthew 4 , 18 through 22 . When Jesus called Simon , peter and Andrew , what did he say ? And he asked James . And he asked John to follow him .

Right , he said if you're going to follow me , you're going to have to become fishers of men . You're going to have to become fishers of men , meaning you're going to have to begin this spiritual journey . You're going to have to become fishers of men , meaning you're going to have to begin this spiritual journey .

You're going to have to leave your old life behind . You're going to have to leave what you thought you were . You're going to have to leave it so you can set out with me . And what did he say ? If you're going to follow me , you're going to have to pick up your cross .

You're going to have to pick up your mother's cross , meaning you're going to have to kill your flesh . You're going to have to embrace the law of mortality . Of saying I'm going to kill off the version of me that's keeping me in this limited space that's keeping me comfortable .

I'm going to have to pick up my cross , I'm going to have to kill my ego , consciously , you see . And then what did he say ? He told them y'all areall gonna go on and do the same things that I did , and greater y'all gonna do , greater than me . And what'd they do ? They didn't .

So if we look at the great departure , the Bible was trying to tell us this . Think about when Nicodemus , when he encountered Jesus I think it's John 3 . John 3 . What is it ? John 3 , like 1 through ? Just go up to the 21st verse , you'll see . When Jesus encountered Nicodemus . And what did Jesus tell him ? Good God , almighty , y'all ain't trying to hear me .

What did Jesus tell him ? He says , to enter the kingdom of God , to enter into the kingdom of heaven , one must be born again . All he was trying to tell you was there's going to have to be a complete transformation of letting go of the old version of yourself . That's it . He's not telling you have to die and accept him into your heart .

He's saying the versions of you that you are today it can't do what the version of you tomorrow is going to do . You have to be able to let go of that . You have to be able to have this great departure , able to let go of that . You have to be able to have this great departure . So the concept of you being born again is mirroring the whole stage .

Number two the death of the old self . So when you shed your past identities , your past belief systems , these past paradigms , and you start asking questions why am I the way I am ? Why do I do this ? Why do I like this ? Why do I think that I should do X , y and Z ? Why do I feel like I should do this ?

Why do I feel like that's a lot of money ? How come I'm in this relationship ? When you start questioning , you started the process of embracing a new spiritual reality . Good God , almighty , ain't trying to hear me . Y'all ain't trying to hear nothing . I'm saying right now Nothing , nothing . So we look at stage three . What do we say ? Stage three was .

So we look at stage three . What do we say ? Stage three was Initiation and illumination . Bible was talking about it . The Bible was talking about it , it was talking about it . Look at the transformation . You remember that ? Remember that ? Matthew 17 ? Remember when Jesus was crucified ? Huh , remember that .

Maybe it wasn't at that point , but when the transformation took place on the top of the mountain , when he was in front of Peter . He was in front of James , he was in front of John and he was revealing good God almighty . He was revealing his divine nature . He was showing them that , what he actually was . Y'all remember that . Remember at this moment .

He gave the disciples an opportunity for them to see him as he actually was . How many times are we missing out from letting people to see us how we actually are ? Are you acting like how you think they want you to act ? Are you being truly who you are ? Are you seeing yourself as fully capable ?

Are you seeing yourself as capable of anything , knowing that you were the only thing that stopped you from yourself ? Are you thinking like , oh well , maybe if I have their permission , maybe if they think I'm okay , maybe if they accept me , maybe they give me permission for me to . It's what Jesus did . Jesus showed them . Look , this is what he said .

I'm going to let y'all see me how I really am Y'all going to see me how I ? And they was like dang what ? Yeah , it's a little different now when you see the real me . Y'all was seeing versions of me , but y'all weren't seeing the real , the divine me , and the reason why he was just trying to show them so they could do the same within their own life .

Huh , so what do we do when I told you , after we move through stage three , the initiation illumination process , what I tell you ? You have the information , you have the knowledge , you have the wisdom . You're gonna come back and now you're gonna share it with your people , you're gonna share it with your community , you're gonna share it with everyone else .

And what is the way ? Would you call this ? What is this ? Return with a gift ? What they talk about this in the bible , matthew 28 , 16 through 20 . What do they call that ? The great commission ? You remember what Jesus said Now go off and make disciples . Huh , think about when Jesus got crucified .

When Jesus got crucified , right when he had killed his flesh fully , he didn't identify with Jesus anymore . He identified with the Christ . When he came back , you remember when he walked through that door ? He walked through that door and he had those wounds still in him and Doubting Thomas looked at him like what the he got these wounds . Who is he ? Now ?

I'm coming so you can see me with these wounds , because these wounds were a part of it . They were part of my experience . They were part . Didn't deny any part of it , didn't deny any part of it . And then what did he say to him ?

He asked his disciples to go on and make disciples of all nations , baptizing them in the name of Jesus , teaching them to obey his commands . Good God , almighty , y'all ain't trying to hear me . So he returned with a gift and he told his disciples y'all go now and do these same four processes . Do them and teach them and teach them how to do this .

Go , teach them how to do this . Go Go now , go , go , go , go , go , go , go , go , go , go go . This is what's going to happen . This is all I'm doing right now . This is what we're doing with the community . This is all I'm doing with the podcast . I'm just trying notice what he did , though that's what he did . He empowered them . He empowered them .

He's holding me , say , look , y'all gonna go on to do things greater than I . Y'all gonna go on and do things that I ain't never done . Y'all gonna go on and do these things and be like dang going , how do you do this ? Y'all going to do this , but make sure you go off and you show others how to do this .

So then , if we , if we understand and we look at Jesus as a metaphor for our own lives and we and we start thinking of it as it's trying to teach us how to illuminate , how to enlighten , and we start thinking of it as it's trying to teach us how to illuminate , how to enlighten , I told you we had to accept the fact that death is nothing more than a

transformation of energy , meaning we accept mortality . What did Jesus do ? That's why he could predict his death . Good God , almighty , I hope it's hitting different now . I hope it's hitting different .

I hope it's hitting different In Matthew 16 , 21 through 28 , when Jesus was telling his disciples I'm going to leave , I'm out of here , I'm packing up my bags and it's time to go . I ain't staying here .

He could predict his death because he emphasized the necessity of picking up your cross in order to follow him , because you was going to have to encounter death , you were going to have to energetically , emotionally , get rid of the parts of yourself that no longer served where you were going . So that's why he had told him to pick up the cross .

You see how this works . So his acceptance of his own mortality , of him saying like I have to die right and this is all all . Like you could ? Buddha said this , like all great spiritual teachers were saying this .

They were telling this , telling us this as an example for us to embrace the deaths , because they all served a purpose in our greater divine plan of us seeing what we truly were , so we could have a physical experience as a spiritual being instead of being a physical body . That was just occasionally stumbling upon a spiritual experience .

Every three weeks , when we start to accept mortality , we start to accept this great departure , as we would say . Now I told you , we move into , now you can start embracing immortality . Good God , almighty , we know . Obviously , we can look at it and say , oh , when Jesus was resurrected . But what about that story of Lazarus in John 11 ?

What about that story of Lazarus ? What about that ? When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead , y'all remember that . Y'all remember he raised Lazarus from the dead Boy . Those people were so mad . They called on Jesus and they didn't have cell phones back then , obviously , but they were like Jesus , jesus , yeshua , we need help . Lazarus has died . We need help .

What are you going ? Jesus took his time . Jesus took his time . He wasn't in no hurry . You know why he wasn't in no hurry ? Because you can't save somebody else from their deaths , good God almighty , I can't save you from your own deaths . Those deaths need to take place . The versions of you that need to die . They need to happen . How many times is this ?

We try to save somebody ? We try to save somebody . Oh , if I could just help them . Why are you trying to help them ? You may be stopping and stunting their opportunity to illuminate because you think I got to help them . They're suffering . No , no , no . The suffering is what's going to lead them to illuminate .

The darkness is how they're going to find the light . Do you see ? Do you see how this works ? So I started to realize you can't be out here trying to save everybody . That's the spiritual ego . So when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead , what is the metaphor behind that ? What's the metaphor ? All it is is he's just trying to show him . Show you .

When you do die , good God almighty , you will always be raised from the dead . You're always going to come back to life . You are always going to have this newfound awareness . You're always going to come back to life . You're always going to have this newfound awareness . You're always going to come from a new vibration . You will always become the butterfly .

The death was a part of the journey . So this resurrection of Lazarus , all it did was signify this stage two of the great departure , of embracing immortality , showing you that death wasn't the end , excuse me . It was the transition into this new form of existence . And I didn't tell you here , once we embrace our immortality , guess what we can do ?

We can transcend . Sometimes we call this enlightenment , sometimes we call it illumination . And the process will never be done . You'll never be done . It just happens repeatedly , over and over again . What happened when Jesus was crucified ? We look at it , he had left his old version and then the new version came , and I told you he walked through the door .

He still had his wounds , because those ain't going to go away . They're still going to be there . You're still going to have the traumas . You're still going to have the wounds , but you disassociate with them . Now you know that they were just a part of the journey . You know that they , they were just a part of it .

It's not the whole piece , it's just an ingredient . And if we look at when Jesus was resurrected after three days and then he ascended . I remember we used to say this in church right , jesus , I always say , ascendeth into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty .

We used to always say , right , I used to know it as the benediction , because when I would hear that , I knew it was time to get off . I knew it was time to get off . I knew it was time to go home when I heard them start saying that I'd be half asleep in church .

But when they start to say that , mom , I'm sorry , I know you're going to hear this , I'd be well and okay . Oh , wait what . He's sitting on the right hand of God the Father Almighty . Okay , it's time to go . Now he's wrapping up . Look at Luke 24 , 1 through 53 , or you can look at Acts 1 , verse 1 through 11 .

Remember after his crucifixion , when Jesus rose , came back from the dead and then later he went back into heaven . I remember I asked the question . I'm like so wait , wait a minute , this doesn't make sense . So Jesus came for our sins . He knew he was going to die . He died , then came back to life again and then went back and left again .

That doesn't make any sense . That's because I was interpreting it wrong . I wasn't understanding it , for what it was trying to say .

It was trying to tell you that after the crucifixion , when he rose again from the dead and he came back and then he ascended into heaven again , all it was doing was confirming his divine nature and fulfilling his mission , meaning he had fully realized what he was .

He wasn't this flesh anymore , he wasn't this physical being , he wasn't his job , he wasn't the minute . He was something more than that .

And when you recognize that which you actually are , meaning you recognize that you are this infinite being that has no bounds to space and time and has always been and always will be , and that nothing in this material , physical world could either make you enough or make you not enough , and nobody or anything in this physical world could ever have an effect on

your level of self-acceptance . That means you have transcended the world , as they would say . You are in the world , but you are not of the world . When you can do this , you too , my friend , will ascend , not ascend like we're going to go somewhere up in the sky .

You will ascend in consciousness , you will ascend in vibration , meaning I'm moving up , I'm getting a bird's eye view and I can see more of a situation , I can see more of the story . I can see more inside myself . You see how this works . So the resurrection and the ascension Jesus .

All he's doing is trying to show you what illumination and transcendence looks like in your life , trying to show you what illumination and transcendence looks like in your life . But you can't illuminate , you can't enlighten , you can't transcend without the death . You can't have one without the other . Just like , if I have birth , I know death has to come .

If I have a transcendence , I know that there was a death that took place . So what would happen if we consciously started to put ourselves in those positions ? What would happen if we start to use this as nothing more than what it was intended for ? The reason why this is sizzling in your spirit and you don't even have to be a Christian .

But it's hidden , different , because you , my friends , have experienced something , something that would relate back energetically to the story in the Bible . And then you start to see oh , my goodness , oh my goodness , this is crazy . My goodness , this is crazy .

This is what happened to Jesus , but it's happening to me and it looks different , but it's really the same thing . Why ? Because you were him . You were it , it was you . It was a story of you Always will be you Always . And I know that's sometimes hard for the egoic , limbic , reptilian , mammalian brain because it's like , yeah , but no , this is everything .

No , I could go through this whole . I could go through everywhere I could go . I would go through . If you want me to keep going , I could go through all parts of the Bible and show you . I can go through all parts of the Bible and show you . This is all happening over and over and over and over and over and over again .

To show you to get up , get up , get up , wake up , wake up , come to your senses and realize that there was something more than this physical experience . What do you want me to do ? I could tell you . I was just telling the community , I was talking to my community about this .

I was telling them that the DG , mysac community , if you look at when Jesus , when he was crucified or he was going to be , he promised them , he said I'm going to leave something with you . I'm going to leave the Advocate , I'm going to leave the Holy Spirit . It's going to come to guide you .

It's going to come to guide you , it's going to come to comfort you . It's going to come to empower you . Good God , almighty , that means that you're going to have support , you're going to have a teacher , you're going to have something with you . What do we call this ? We call this intuition , intuition , intuition , intuition . It's one of your six mind muscles .

How did you know ? I don't know , I just knew . Yeah , what do you think that is ? It ain't nothing mysterious ? This is a part of your divine makeup . Question is can you be quiet enough to know when it speaks ? Do you know what it sounds like ? He's telling you ? I'm telling you , I'm going to leave something with you . I'm going to leave something with you .

This is the metaphor when my flesh , when I no longer identify with my ego , you now will have access to the divine that's outside of space and time , and when it communicates to you with inside this game , because you're not identifying as the video game , the avatar , anymore . You identify with that which is outside of the game .

Now you're going to hear when I give you the prompts . Now you're going to hear when I give you the clues . Now you'll know like dang , don't do this Dang . You better do this Dang . Everybody thinks I'm crazy , yeah , but just do it , trust it . You'll be able to listen to your heart . Do you see how this works ? Do you see ?

So he's telling you , once I leave meaning once I no longer identify with this physical world I'm going to leave something with you .

Once you stop identifying with these wounds , these narratives , these programs , the abandonment , the rejection , all of the abandonment , the rejection , all of these things that happen in the physical world , once you stop identifying with those , then then , my friend , then you will have access to that , which already had , every single answer . You're welcome .

So that's why he could promise it , because he has already experienced it . I already know what it is . Huh , you see how this works . So I'm going to do it .

I'm going to break this down here more over the coming weeks of spirituality and religion and really that they were all saying the same thing , spirituality and religion , and really that they were all saying the same thing . I'm just using Jesus as an example . I'll probably get into the Old Testament a little bit more .

I was just trying to show you how to move through life so you could illuminate , so you could expand your self-awareness . That's all we can sit here and argue about . Well , was Jesus black or was he white ? It doesn't matter , it doesn't matter , it does not matter .

It doesn't matter if Jesus was black , it didn't matter if Jesus was white , it didn't matter if Jesus was real , it doesn't matter . When he said Jesus , uh , we say I accept Jesus into my heart and say what does that even mean ? What does that mean ? I'm writing , I'm literally riding down the road , driving 10 hours , and I tell Carly , bless her soul .

She's like goodness gracious . What was I thinking in this life ? I said what is it ? I get it . I get it . Wait , I got it . She's like what ? What ? I go ? Why did Jesus ? Why do we say Jesus ? You have to accept Jesus in your heart and Savior . What does that mean ? She's like I thought you were going to tell me something important .

Really , I'm like I get it when we start understanding the metaphor of what Jesus was . Jesus was the man , the Christ was the divine , the Christos , the spirit , consciousness , the being , human , being . Human was Jesus , being was the Christ . The human didn't identify as the human . The human had identified as the Christ , as the being .

So when the human starts to identify as the being , and now the being comes before the human , now you're accepting You're accepting that which you actually are , and that which you actually are will always be saved . It will always be saved from death . What do you think salvation was ? What do they say ?

When you accept Jesus into your heart and savor , you will be saved . Of course , you'll always be saved , meaning when you accept the Christ , when you accept the being , when you accept the immortal part of you , that which you actually are , you'll be saved from death , because death couldn't exist . There cannot be a finite death if there's an infinite being .

So this was your salvation . It didn't have anything to do . How much you went to church Didn't have to do . How much you prayed . It didn't because we do a lot of praying . We do a lot of praying in this world . I know it . We do a lot of praying , but why does the world still look the way it does ?

I can tell you why the world looks the way it does because most of the world doesn't know what it is . Most of the world thinks that they are their land . Good God , almighty , y'all trying to hear nothing I'm saying right now . Look at what's going on in Israel and Palestine right now . What are they fighting over over ? What are they fighting over right now ?

What are they fighting ? Somebody tell me what are they fighting over . You see , we'll take a piece of paper and draw lines on a map and we'll say that that's real and then we'll argue and fight about it . I'll kill you . I'll kill you . This is my land . I've been all around this world . I ain't seen nan lines on none of this land , none of it .

I remember when I went through my awakening , I said who owns the land ? Who owns it really truly ? Who owns it ? Who owns anything ? Who owns anything ? Only the ego thinks it has to own . You see how this works , and this is why Jesus was trying to tell the Roman Catholic church . He was trying to tell the Romans , he was trying to tell Pontius Pilate .

This is why he wasn't with it . He was because he transcended it . He's like y'all over here fighting over this stuff . You understand , making these people do X , y and Z and making them pay tax and do all this stuff . Ain't none of this stuff yours , none of it . He said well , what am I supposed to pay taxes ? Give Caesar what is Caesar's .

Give God what is God's Meaning . Give to the world what the world you got to play , the game . You got to play the game . Give to the world what it thinks it needs , but you also got to give to God Meaning . You got to give the awareness to that what you actually are . You got to play the game if we're going to be the human and the being .

So maybe what I need to do is do a couple episodes on how we stop world , how we stop hate , how we stop war and all these things Really quite simple , really simple . It's not easy , but it's simple . So when you transcend this , when you have the awareness of transcending anything in this world , now you're going to start to see what Jesus was always saying .

Now you're going to see what the Bible was saying . Now you're going to start to see what Jesus was always saying . Now you're going to see what the Bible was saying . Now you're going to see what Buddhism , what Buddha was saying . They were all saying the same thing . This is why , if you look at the story of Paul , was it Paul ?

Paul was on his way to Damascus and Paul had never met Jesus . Paul never laid eyes on Jesus , never even seen Jesus . Paul never laid eyes on Jesus , never even seen Jesus , but he saw Jesus in a vision when he was on his road to Damascus . Remember that ? What was that ? That was his awakening Meaning . He saw that which way he was persifying .

He was persifying Did I just make a word up Persecuting Christians . He was killing Christians and now , all of a sudden , he's changed . Of course you're going to change . You're going to change like that .

Once you awaken to what you actually are and when you see Jesus not meaning , you see this man coming from the clouds not that you see that which you actually are , whether it's from a near-death experience , whether it's from a plant medicine ceremony , maybe it's through a hardship you start to recognize and identify that which you actually are , that is limitless ,

that exists outside of space and time . When you see that version of you , of course you'll be changed . I hope this helps you . I do . I hope this helps you with what's waiting for you on the other side .

Every time that you go on this great departure , every time that you leave that old life to go to the next , there's going to be a little transition , right , it's going to be a quote-unquote tough time , but this is a part of it , because what's waiting for you on the other side is going to be something that this world has never seen , because there has never

been anyone like you individually in this existence . So at times , you're going to have to predict your own death . What do I mean by that ? You're going to have to consciously say I'm going to let go of this . This is really hard . This is really hard , but I'm going to have to let go of this life . I'm going to have to let go of these relationships .

I'm going to have to let go of this job . This doesn't work for me anymore . And where I want to go and what I want to do . I know that I'm so much more , and this right now is saying that I'm not and I can't keep doing this anymore . This is a really tough conversation , but I have to go . I have to go . I have to go die .

I'm predicting my death , I'm accepting my mortality . I'm accepting that this version of me has to die .

And you're going to feel pain , you're going to feel fear , you're going to feel sorrow , just like Jesus did , but you're going to learn that death was inevitable on this journey , the transformation of who you were was inevitable , and now you can start trusting in this divine plan , that life is just trying to help you to die so you can be reborn , so you can

die to the old and be reborn to the new . And then guess what it's going to happen again , do not hold on too tight , because just as tightly as you hold on to , it can slip out of your hands . Allow it to go , allow it and then , when you do this , you'll be able to get yourself up on the cross .

You'll carry your own cross because you predict this , you knew this was part of it . I know I was going to die . I knew it . I know now I'm going to die . I know I have to die . It's a part of it . So I can pick up my own cross now . Good God , almighty , I'm going to pick it up and I'm going to carry it .

I'm going to carry this all through the town , all through the world , all through social media . They're going to see it . I'm going to pick it up , I'm going to carry my cross . My family are got to carry it . I got to carry it . I'm going to have to be the one who accepts fully my mortality , the suffering , the humiliation , the healing , all of this .

So when you do this , you'll start to see that this little mini death was just a greater part of your spiritual journey than what you call life . And when you do this , you're going to want to share it with others . You're going to want to share it with others , just like Jesus did at the Last Supper . Remember when he broke bread and he shared the wine .

He said this bread is my body . This blood , this wine is my blood . Drink this in remembrance of me . Drink this in remembrance of me . Drink this in remembrance of me , not literally , no , not literally . I used to love that first Sunday communion . I'd get that grape juice . It was never enough . I wanted a piece of that bread . I was hungry . I wanted more .

I would purposely not eat , knowing that we were just going to get that little piece of bread . I wanted more . I wanted that grape juice . They couldn't give us wine . I wanted that grape juice .

But here's what it was trying to tell us you was going to have to break the body and drink the blood in remembrance of this enduring presence , of remembering this process of you letting go of that last version of you before you got up on that cross . And here's the beauty of it when you get up on that cross .

When you get up on that cross , people ain't going to remember you . They ain't going to remember you , they ain't going to recognize you Right , remember , after he was resurrected , he appeared to the disciples on the road to Amos and they didn't recognize him , not until he broke bread with them . They didn't know who he was and then't recognize him .

Not until he broke bread with them , they didn't know who he was . And then their eyes opened . I mean , they ain't going to see , they ain't going to see really what you are until you start to share it with the world and you see what you really are . So , when we know this , when we grasp this , go ahead and prepare yourself for the great departure .

When it comes , embrace it , because where you're going and who you're going to become , lord knows . That version of who you were can't go , and I'm here to see it , I'm here for it .

As always , I encourage you along your journey to keep going , keep walking , keep trudging through , keep picking up that cross , keep walking , keep trudging through , keep picking up that cross , keep embracing mortality , keep knowing that eventually I got to go , so I might as well get it while I'm here .

And , as always , I wish you nothing but the best On the pathway to your results .
