I'm your host , derek Grant , and this is the pathway to your results podcast . Ladies and gentlemen , welcome to the Pathway Results Podcast . If it's your first time . If it's not your first time , welcome back .

This episode is I hope I'm going to be able to get this through to you so at least you can see things , maybe , from a universal perspective . Everything that I see , everything that I deal with , everything , everything , everything . I always try to see it from a universal perspective .

I try to look at it and see what is this meaning , not only just for me , but for the whole of humanity .

Through doing the work on myself and understanding and doing past life regressions and all that stuff , and understanding human design and my sign and what else , just having natal chart readings I understand the basis , at least to this point , the basis of my soul .

I'm super infatuated with understanding the esoteric meanings of religion and really specifically Christianity , because I feel like some of the Eastern philosophies or the Eastern religions , they have already kind of done a good job of showing that , like yo , this isn't literal , this is like actually pertaining to you , the self .

But with Christianity in the Western world it's like kind of like a puzzle , and I like playing with the puzzle , I like trying to put the puzzle together and put the piece together and see , like , oh , what does this mean ? What does this mean ? What does this mean ?

So now , you know , over the last week or so I've kind of had this epiphany of the I am , and not calling it spirit , but realizing that spirit and self were the same thing , there was no different . I don't even know how to word they weren't different .

So I like , on the science side of it which I love science , by the way understanding that , like consciousness is the fundamental source of reality , like consciousness is all that exists , that's all everything is is consciousness .

And I was getting hung up , I was getting confused , I was abstractually understanding it , right , but then I didn't really conceptualize that , I couldn't really synthesize it into a way of like being .

So I'm sitting here reading a book and it said it was a book on energy and it's talking about how sorry emotions and how emotions go through your body and kind of what it does with the actual residency of your cells and what emotions actually are . And then in a paragraph , the beginning of the paragraph , it says self awareness is consciousness .

Why I abstract , surely knew what consciousness was or know what consciousness is , and I know what self awareness is through experience . But now the two were linked together through experience and concept . Right , the abstract and the embodiment became one . And this is when everything opened up .

So now , going and reading the red text in the Bible , the New Testament , it hits different now when you know what the self is . So I just sit here talking to my wife and I'm asking her , like have you ever been in meditation ? You've been in a meditation and you were like gone , but you were there , but you can't really articulate it .

It was almost like a transcendental experience where you were fully aware , but you felt like you were asleep , but you knew that you weren't your body , but you also knew that you weren't your personal reality , also known as your personality . You were , there were no words to articulate , and she's like hey , I've had that happen before .

I said , ok , that was the red writing every time that you read the New Testament . That was the self , that was the spirit , that is consciousness , that's what all there is , that is . This is the microcosm of the macro of what we would refer to as universal consciousness in what God the Father was supposed to be .

But we have been misinterpreting what it actually was . And what I'm trying to show you is how spirituality , religion and science are really all talking about the same thing from their own perspective . But you'd have to understand all three of them to be able to get to what they , what , what they were all saying .

You needed all three parts of them , ok , so here's what I did . I opened up my Bible , right ? So I like , I like to understand really what this , what the self was saying through this avatar called Jesus . When you start understanding that self , we have self awareness , right , Self with a big S , but then we have the little S . We have the little S .

That was the individual , that was , that was the self awareness that is inhabiting this vessel named DG . But then we have the , the universal self , the big self , the spirit with the big S universal consciousness . That is the macro , that is what is creating this universe . So here's what I want .

The big emphasis number one is understanding that they're not separate . They're not separate , they are not separate . That's the illusion that one is out there and one is like here . They're the same thing , just smaller versions of the same thing . It's like those like trying to think of what do they call nesting dolls ?

Usually the nesting dolls like the little Russian dolls . When you there's a big one and then you take , you open up and there's another one inside of it that's smaller , and you open that one up and there's another one inside of that's smaller , and then you open up . That is a hologram . This is the fractalization of this universe .

This is kind of the way it works . So when you understand that consciousness or self awareness is the only thing that exists now , you can start reading this red text just a little bit differently . So I go to I don't know . This is John 12 , 23 , right ? Jesus replied this is so . Basically , this section is about Jesus is predicting his death .

Jesus is predicting his death . Jesus is predicting his death , meaning the flesh , the ego . The ego is going to die . The ego is going to die . This is Jesus , this is so .

That's what Jesus was the flesh , dg , brittany Michael , we have this egoic , worldly , three-dimensional side of us , but then also we have the self , which was the spiritual , the non-physical , the unlimited . Do you see ? Consciousness , spirit , whatever you were referred to it as , so the red writing , this spirit or self is Speaking .

Self-awareness is speaking through the avatar called Jesus . And he said Jesus replied the hour has come For the son of man to be glorified . The son of man , the son of man , he's talking about the physical . I Am the son of man . Sorry , dg is a son of man . You are a son of man , like the physical , the three-dimensional .

He's saying it's time for it to die . It is time for it to die . It is time for the ego , it is time for the worldly identity to die . And he in the , in the self , says whoever serves me must follow me , and when I am , my servant also will be that my servant , my servant , will be . What was the servant ? What was the servant ?

The mind , the mind was the servant . The mind most of us , though Most of us are the slave . The mind was supposed to be the servant instead of it being the master . And this is what where I'm seeing with so many people in this world we get caught up and we get messed up because the mind is being the master instead of the servant .

The mind does not make a very good master . You see what happens when the mind's the master . Now we're sitting here being yoked around like a dog on the chain , but when the mind was a servant , the mind became the most powerful tool in this physical universe Because now this infinite being was going to be using it .

That think about something infinite is going to be using a tool , so it's going to be the tool will be infinite as well . So this is why , like I , like I Told my kids all the time , I asked my daughter all the time what's the most powerful thing you have ? She said my mind , my mind . She's to the point .

Now she's like alright , daddy , my mind , I get it . Yet Because I want her to understand , to use this most powerful thing that she has as a servant , instead of it using her as a tool . So , anyway , he goes on and says my father will honor the one who serves me , my father .

Remember the father , the father , and what speaking the I am , were the same thing .

He goes on to say in the next verse , 1227 now , my soul is troubled . What shall I say , father , save me from this hour ? No , it was for this reason I came to this hour . Father , glorify your name . So now we got to understand how the soul works . We got to understand how the soul works . Okay , the soul is the mind . Okay , the soul is the mind .

If you look at the word , the Greek word psyche , right , we obviously associate that with thinking , thoughts , the psychology of life . The soul and the sight and the mind are the same thing . They're actually like segmented , right ? So was supposed to be taking orders from the self , the spirit .

But then it's segments itself , and then we develop this personalized version of what we would refer to as the self or spirit . So that's what your soul is . So he's sitting here telling you my soul is troubled , self , save me from , what am I to do ? And the self replies no , this is why you came . This is why you came . I need you to crumble .

I need , I need your mind to get the out of the way right now . So I'm saying this because in my own journey I'm sitting here reading I thought I told you I found some . I Found some texts Sorry , text . I said make a salad , get some scriptures or something . They might be scriptures one day . I don't know . I found a journal .

I found a bunch of journals . I was cleaning up my desk . I found a bunch of old journals . I was reading and I could see the , the Dissolution . I could see the crumbling of this paradigm . I could see the crumbling of this part of my soul that was dying this old way of thinking . I could see it . I could see the contemplation .

I could see , literally , it holding on for its last breath through these journal prompts , with me writing saying I don't know what's going on . Why do I feel so sad ? Why because the soul is troubled , because that , essentially , the mind that had been so programmed to live life this way was dying off . It was dying off .

So so then it says , then a voice came from heaven . I've glorified it and it will glorify it again . The crowd that was there heard it and said it had thundered . Other said it was the angel , had spoke to him and then Jesus said the voice was for your benefit , not mine . So he's speaking .

The self is speaking to these egoic , lower , lower mind , not lower in the sense that he's better than them the egoic crowd , the worldly crowd , the crowd that's caught up in the matrix , the crowd that's caught up in the third dimension . He said this was for y'all . The self is saying this was for y'all , this was not for me , this was for y'all , y'all .

Now is the time of the judgment on this world . Now is the time for the judgment on this world . Now the prince of the world will be driven out and I , when I am lifted up from the earth , will draw people to myself .

So when judgment is taking place not judgment in the sense of like , oh you judge only only what does it say to box , a lonely guy can judge me , not that in the sense of that judgment anytime that there's judgment , it's a lower perspective . You're coming from a limited perspective which is the complete opposite of self's nature .

Self does not judge , because judge because the self can see the universal perspective , meaning can see the whole part of it . It doesn't judge just that one thing .

So it says in when I am lifted up from the earth will draw all people to myself , meaning when , when I disassociate myself with the world , all will be , all will be drawn to you , like , because you become a beacon of light . You become a beacon of light . You are not here on this plane anymore . So here's my point . Here's my point .

I'm trying to get you to understand . There has to be a death that takes place in order for life to exist . There has to be a death that takes place in order for life to exist . So if we start looking at the esoteric meanings of eternity , we start looking at at really the deeper meaning of eternity .

When Jesus was telling you that you'll accept me , accept me , sorry , the Christ was speaking this , this , this self accept me and you will have eternal life . Don't realize what eternal means . So you know me , sagittarius , warrior that I am , I got to know more , I got to dive deeper .

So I'm gonna go straight to the Oxford and let me look up the definition of eternal . The definition of eternal says lasting or existing for ever , for ever , without end or beginning . Now go ahead and put your seatbelt on . Go and put your seatbelt on real quick , cuz I got to say something . It's gonna .

If something lasts or exists forever without end of beginning , that means it was never created . That means it was never created . Today's episode is sponsored by life is mental university . Unlock the power of your mind with courses designed to transform your life .

Y'all ain't trying to hear me right now . I know good and well that you ain't trying to hear me .

So , while you are living your life under a paradigm , trying to get to heaven to have eternal life , if we go by the word eternal and understand eternal , that means this thing that's trying to get to this place has always existed and has never , ever been born and has never , ever died . That means it is infinite .

Do you see why I've been trying to tell you for the longest that you are an infinite being ? You were infinite . You were never created . You will never be destroyed , as long as you understand what it is . It is the I am . It was the Christ . It is not this one Illusion that we go by what your name is . That's not what it is .

I'm talking about the self , money . I'm talking about the self , the self . The self is literally infinite . It is eternal . It has always been , it will always be so . Now , now , if that's the case , if that's the case , somebody tell me why I'm over here stressed about these bills . Somebody tell somebody .

Somebody tell my avatar why he's worried about whether or not this is going to happen or this is going . What in the world would I ever be worried about anything , anything in the physical world , when that which I am has always been and always will be so ? I'm not , you think I'm worried about anything in this physical world . How can I be ?

How can I be , how can I be worried about anything ? And this is when you understand that this red text , this was who was speaking , this , this son of man , this avatar , this three-dimensional being that we called Yeshua Jesus . It knew . It knew because it was living from the place of the self . It was living from the place of the spirit .

It knew what it was . It knew that it was eternal . It knew that there was gonna have to be a death that took . Why , you think , he protected his death ? The death was predicted because he knew that the ego had to die , the ego had to go . You know , you got to get up out of here , bro . You got to go , you got to go , you got to go .

If you really look at the esoteric meaning of it , when he went out into the desert for 40 days , who was with him ? Who's with him ? Hasatan , hasatan . Aka the prince of the world , aka the deceiver , aka the adversary , aka the other part .

The only thing that deceives , the only thing that deceives the IM would be the ego , the personality , the personal reality is the only thing that would so . Now , when he's sitting out in the desert , why do you think , my goodness , good gracious , y'all ain't trying to hear me right now ?

Why do you think when he came up out of the desert , that's when everything was turned up . Why do you think it was turned up after that ? Huh , why ? You think it became Tommy to turn ? Why ? Because it was the last of the last of getting rid of this ego .

And this is why I got to tell you this , because if you look at the esoteric meaning of the word wilderness , when he went out to the Wilderness for 40 days , the wilderness , the wilderness is the Undisciplined mind . The wilderness is the untamed mind . The wilderness is the mind that's being ruled by the ego Instead of being ruled by the self .

The infinite , dwelling Conscious awareness behind everything that always has been and always will be . This was what the wilderness is . So the reason why I'm saying this is Because we all gonna have to go through the wilderness repeatedly , repeatedly . You must continue to go into the awareness , are into the wilderness , so it can just be you and the ego .

So the eye can take care and do what it needs to do with the ego . Not to kill the ego , but to grab the ego's leash and use it to its advantage , and use it as a tool instead of , unconsciously , the ego running off with it . It's like a dog when it doesn't have a leash . Sorry , when the dog has a leash but there's no owner holding the leash .

Imagine that the self is the one holding the leash and the ego is the dog . The mind was the leash . Do you see ? Do you see her again . Here we again . Here's the holographic nature of this universe . The self is holding the leash , holding the mind , and the dog was the ego . Look , I got a five-year-old boxer .

If you take him off , if you let go his leash , he's gonna pick the leash up in his mouth . He's gonna take off and run anywhere . You don't know where that dog's gonna end up . But when I hold the leash , I Can guide the dog , I Can steer the dog , I can use the dog however I need it to . Do you see how this works ? Do you see how this works ?

So this is why , when he said the mind , the soul , was never supposed to be the servant . Sorry , was never supposed to be . The master , was supposed to be the servant . But in order to get to this , to get to this point , there would have to have been a death . There had to have been a death that took place . So why am I telling you all this ?

Because it's the way . That's why the self , the self , is the way . That is the way . That is the truth , that is the light . You have it in you . I don't care if you believe . It doesn't matter what your belief system is . This is the universal teachings of it .

This is why it has lasted for so long , because the universal teachings will always transcend space . In Tucka , god Almighty , you ain't trying to hear me . The universal teachings will always transcend space in time , because it was written by the self that exists outside of space in time . Do you see ?

So now , when we start looking at everything from a universal perspective , from the perspective of the self now there is no famine . Now there is no war . Now there is no duality . Now there is no hate . Now there is no separation . Now there is no racism . Now there is no bigotry . Now there is no lack . Now there is no limitation . Now there is no poverty .

Do you see , we are only living in the space of abundance . So this is like what we call the great awakening . The great awakening is the self saying no more . Will I allow this ego , this dog , to run off ? I'm grabbing it by the leash . If this resonates with you , it's time to wake up . It's time .

I don't want to shake you I'm not sure that's not what I'm trying to do , but it's time . It's time for you to start doing the work . It's time for you to start doing the work . It is time to start predicting the death of the flesh .

It is time to start picking up the cross so you can kill off the worldly part of you that identifies with the outside instead of identifying with the inside , and then , when you do this , you will see that that which you are has always been . And I think back . I , I the I am . I think back to when DG I was .

I was awakening and using DG in this incarnation and it was . It was traumatic for DG and DG's people around , and DG did not understand what was going on . But DG had been running the show for so long , but I was telling him now it was time . It was time to do what we've been put here through .

We're going to have to go into the wilderness here for a couple of years . It's going to be a couple of years , but when we come out you will not be the master anymore , you will be the servant . And now I can use you for what I've been , what I incarnated inside of you , to be used for in this incarnation .

So now I remember seeing from DG's perspective how the outside was thinking that he was crazy , and which is why , when you go to John 13 , seven , the avatar said using the self , the spirit , the I am . It said you do not realize now what I am doing , but later you will understand . But later you will understand .

So people would be like yo yo , your stuff is blowing up on social media , but later you will understand . But later you will understand . You do not understand right now because I am coming from a place outside of space and time , but now you are starting to see .

So a guy sent me a message , sent me a message on IG , and he's going through a rough time right now . It's going through cancer . And he sent me a video message and he was crying Like he's like . I just want to tell you thank you . I want to tell you thank you because you sent , you posted .

I was going through your , your feed and you posted something and it said 80 weeks ago , 80 weeks , year and a half . He said you were saying the same things then , but I could not receive you . You were saying the same things then , but I could not receive you .

So the reason why I'm saying this is because everything will be received based on your level of awareness of the self . So at that moment in space and time , when I had posted it . He could not receive it because he did not have enough awareness of the self , because what I was saying was coming from the self . So the self will always recognize self .

What do we say ? Game recognize game . Self will recognize self . But if I do not have awareness of the self yet , but the only , because the only way to become aware of the self is to not be aware of the ego . And the only way to be aware of the ego , to not be aware of the ego , is to go through an alchemical process of the crumbling .

So when he was going through his treatment of cancer , he realized , unconsciously or consciously , that this physical body that I'm identifying with maybe isn't it , maybe there's something more than just this physical body , because his physical body is quote unquote , failing me right now and the self steps in .

The self has always been there and he says I was able to see , you've been keeping a 100 from the from , from the rip . You've been saying this from from from the beginning . You do not realize now what I am doing , but later you will understand . So what is my point ? My point of this is this Everything that you have is already here .

It's already here because the eternal part of you . The eternal part of you means it's without end or beginning . So therefore , if there is no end or beginning , that means it has already come , equipped with everything already . You see , do you see good God of minds coming to you right now ?

How in the world , as my daddy would say , how in the devil , how in the devil can something infinite ever have parts that were finite ? I should get off right now . I should get off right now . How in the world can something infinite have any parts that are finite ? It cannot . The only thing that is finite is your inability to see that you were infinite .

I had to let that marinate for a little bit . The only part that is infinite sorry , that is finite is your inability to see the infinity within you . Do you see ? So why am I saying this ? What's the point in this podcast ?

This episode is to get you to realize that , as you go through these tough times , as you go through this struggle , as you go through this hardship , as you go through this wilderness , it's really just the universe trying to look you out . It's really just trying to look you out .

It's all it's trying to do is just trying to get you to become more aware of self and less aware of ego . That's all it is . That's all it is . That's all it is . So all your job is to do is to just surrender to it . Surrender , you gotta do a surrender . Stop fighting it . Stop fighting . That's when you drown . You're gonna drown .

You're gonna drown if you keep fighting the current . When they tell you when a riptide current would come , just don't fight it . Don't swim against it . Just let it take you , because the thing that is taking you is you . The thing that is taking you is you . There was no separation .

But in order to see it , you're gonna have to let the ego die , because only the ego cannot see . Only the ego can't see . The ego can only see what's in front of it . It can't see behind . But the thing that's behind is the infinite , is the self , is the spirit .

It can't look back and see it , but the self can see everything because it's the first thing . It's the first thing in order , it's the first thing in line . It's like being in the back of the line . When you're in the back of the line , you can see everybody in front . That's where the self is , but the ego's at the front of the line .

So the ego's like yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , no , no , no , we doing it right . Yeah , yeah , yeah , the ego can't see nothing behind . Don't have no idea , do you see ? So allow , allow life to do what it needs to do for you to become more self aware . Allow life to take you where it needs to take you to become more self aware . There are no mistakes .

There are no mistakes in life . There are no mistakes . There are no mistakes . Do you hear what I'm saying ? You hear the word there's no mistakes , because even the mistakes will lead to you becoming more Self aware .

I can tell you from firsthand experience , all the times that I thought I messed up and there were mistakes , man , those are things that actually catapulted me to expand my awareness of self . So when people ask me , where do you get this wisdom , where do you get this knowledge ? I don't get it from anywhere . I don't get it from anywhere .

It already exists within the eye . I am just becoming more aware of the eye . I am just doing the work to become more aware of self , and the more aware of self , the more access I have to that which has always existed and because it's always existed , it already has everything that it needs . It's not rocket science , y'all , but it's work .

Do the work on yourself , find the self , know the self , be the self . As always . You know where to find me all social media at DG Mindset . Get in life as mental university . It's lifeismentaldgmindsetcom .
