¶ Understanding the Civil War Within
Once you see what you actually are , that you're an infinite , limitless being , you'll see that nothing exists outside of you . I'm your host , derek Grant , and this is the Pathway to your Results Podcast . Ladies and gentlemen , welcome to the Pathway to your Results Podcast . It is your boy , dg .
We are here live and in effect , I don't know what you want me to say . We're here here sharing space and time in this present moment . I've told you guys this before . When I come up with an episode , I wonder . I just start asking questions . I can't tell you what episode is going to come out here in three weeks . I have no idea .
But over time I start asking questions and these downloads start coming in , and these prompts start coming in , and I start and then I write them down and I'm like , okay , remember that . And then I don't take notes . I don't take notes , and the reason why I don't take notes is because this is essentially channeling . Right now , this is DG who's speaking .
I'm just telling you what I'm consciously thinking and then , over the course of the podcast , I start to essentially channel and then it's starting to come in . So the topic that I sat and thought about today was I don't know why it popped in my mind civil war .
And if you look at the civil war , civil war is usually the fighting , the infighting of two countries , two parties or two entities that are within the same one thing , right ? So then I started to think in terms of a holographic nature . Right , because this is what this universe is .
This universe is holographic , meaning as above , so below , so below , as above , as within , so without , so without , as within . So I said , okay , if the civil war exists on the physical plane , that means there would have to be a civil war that's existing on the mental plane .
That means there would have to be these two opposing forces that are actually housed within the same thing . And I started to realize this Good God , almighty is coming right now and anytime . You hear me say that . That means the channel is coming in , the downloads are coming in , the frequency is turned , you'll be able to receive from spirit .
If you look at your own life , there's a civil war that's going on . A lot of times the Christian folks will refer to this as the spiritual warfare . Ain't no spiritual warfare happening outside of you ? See , my mom used to say , oh , the devil attacks you when you , when you , what did she say ? She said the devil attacks you when you're down .
The devil , the devil . My dad used to say don't you know , the , an idle mind is the devil's playground , meaning don't just sit around and do nothing , because that's when the devil's going to attack . You See , there's no attacking , that's happening on the outside .
Everything that you deal with in terms of a hardship , everything that you deal with in terms of a struggle , it's not the quote unquote spiritual warfare happening on the outside . It is the spiritual warfare between the spirit and the ego .
When we start to understand that this text that we refer to as the Bible and they talked about Jesus , yeshua , the Christ , the chosen one , the anointed one , the Son of man , the Son of God , the Messiah , whatever you want to refer to it as this was the spirit . And then he had an adversary . He had the opposite .
That was the ego , that was the devil , that was what we call Hasatan , satan , the adversary , the deceiver . That was the war , that was the war in this book . But we have to understand that this was a metaphorical , a metaphorical representation of what's happening inside of every single man , every single human being .
There is a war that is going on between the indwelling spirit of that which you actually are , and the ego . So when you understand ego and what it is , in order to do that you'd have to understand the mind . See , they don't teach you the mind . This is what I'm learning . They don't teach you the mind . I got two kids in school right now .
They are not going to teach you how your mind works . Here's what they're going to do . They're going to talk about it , they're going to talk around it , we're going to talk about mental health , but they're never really going to actually tell you what this mind is . So now , because you don't know what it is , you don't know how to use it .
¶ Battle Within
So when we start understanding what the mind is and the faculties and we've talked about this before , I'm not going to get into that now now we can see that the only battle , the only war , the only thing that was going on , was between me and my mind . It was between me , the indwelling Spirit , the . I am the Christ , the Christos , the .
All this is what it was battling it's child called the ego . So think of it like that . Your mind is nothing more than the child of Spirit . Your ego is nothing more than the child of Spirit . And we know when the child acts up , what does it do ? It stresses out the parent .
So , when we start thinking of our lives as the only war we actually have to fight , the only battle we have to fight is within ourselves conquering your mind . Conquering your mind , understanding how your mind works , healing wounds that have been inflicted upon your mind that then got pushed down to a subconscious level .
This is the battle , and I'm just learning in my life . I'm learning my life , clients that I work with , people who I deal with on all levels right , high performers , regular people , whatever you want to term it as we all are in a war , all of us .
I don't care how much you meditate , I don't care how much healing you've done , I don't care where you are . You can be enlightened . You being a yogi , you get . There's a civil war that's taking place .
Sometimes it's a war , sometimes it's a battle , sometimes it's just a conflict , sometimes it's just a disagreement based on your level of awareness of self and where you are . There's always going to be a civil war that is taking place .
If we look at the Bhagavad Gita and we look at Krishna in Arjuna , where they were having this conversation , where were they at on the battlefield . What we have to understand ? This is the personification , yet again , of spirit and ego , the spiritual world and the fleshly carnal world . When we look at Jesus , what do you do ?
He went out into the desert for 40 days . Who was he out there ? With Satan , spirit , ego . This was the battle . So why am I saying this ? The illusion is in this third dimension is that someone or something would have done something to you . But it could not be that , because where did we say the war was taking place ?
The war was taking place within ourselves , within our own mind . The mind , because no one ever taught you that one of the higher faculties is what we call perception , meaning the lens through which you view life .
Nobody ever taught you that it was not the outside world that you were experiencing , it was the dirt on your lens , on your perception , your perspective of how you were viewing life . That's actually taking place within the mind , that's actually taking place within the ego . Do we see how this works ? So the war is can the spirit self-know ?
Can it have and increase the awareness of the ego to have self-awareness ? Good God , Almighty , here we go right now . Can it have self-awareness , meaning , can it have awareness of the self , can it have awareness of what it is ? That is the question . The spirit already knows what it is and it's the awareness behind the ego , behind the mind .
But the question is can the mind not keep projecting this way and turn itself back inward so it can start to observe the observer ? This is why meditation comes in . This is why human beings meditate . It allows us to turn our awareness back the other way . So the mind becomes aware of this self . The observed good God Almighty becomes aware of the observer .
Do we see ? The object that the flashlight was shining on becomes aware of the flashlight . It's the war . The war . The battle was you . The battle was you versus you . This is the illusion that I'm finding , everyone and everything on the outside . See , when I know that it's just me versus me , I ain't got to get caught up in the BS now on the outside .
Every once in a while we'll fall for it . But when you know that it's just you , when you know that the abuse was just you , when you know that the trauma was just you , when you know that the death of your child was just you , when you know all of these things in the physical world were actually just reflecting the parts of yourself it was just you .
And when you know that it's just you , you can start to introduce this thing that we call accountability . But accountability needs something else . We need to have support . I can be accountable , but I need support too .
When I have accountability , and I have support and support is the sense that of people who say , hey , keep going , keep going , come on , just keep going . I know it's difficult , just keep pushing . When I can have accountability and support , I can be accountable . Now I'm ushering this thing that we call learning .
A plus S will give you L , a plus S gives you L . Accountability plus support gives you learning . So now , guess what ? You can't be a victim now when you're learning . And here's the beauty of it when you're learning , you're growing , you're expanding , and as I'm expanding , I'm evolving . As I'm evolving , I'm back in line with this universe .
Do we not know that nothing stays the same in this physical universe Does not happen on the spiritual level , it doesn't happen on the mental level . So now I've just fell back in line with the harmony . So you know this episode . I started to think , like , why do we struggle so much ? Why do we struggle ?
Because nobody told you that the war was on the inside . You think the war is on the outside . You're here looking at everybody cussing everybody out . You mad at everybody . You saying , oh , she did this and he did that , and mom did this , and you don't understand . Somebody told me like that you don't understand .
So you mean tell me that it's my fault that my husband committed suicide ? That ain't what I'm saying . I'm not saying that . I'm not saying it's anyone's fault . I'm saying that that situation happened , absolutely . But that situation that happened , that isn't what you're experiencing . You're experiencing your perspective of it .
That's why you and I are having two different experiences . On this one thing , on this one situation . I do not feel the heartache that you feel . Why ? Because it was not my husband , I just didn't know it . Am I saddened for you ? Absolutely . But we have two different perspectives of this situation and that's hard for the ego to understand .
We understand that it was just me , everything was just me , everything . Now we can move into the next phase of it Contemplation , self-reflection . I got to ask myself why , why do I view it this way ? Why am I struggling with this right now ? Why can't I let go ?
Why is I'm still holding on to this good and well , that it serves no purpose , no purpose for me right now . Why am I still holding on to this ? Do you see Now , when we start moving into , why we can start to extract the information ?
And that was the only point of the whole thing anyway when you got to understand that the war , the war is being fought , the reason why the war is even taking place in the battleground of your mind , the only reason why the war is taking place , was so that you would realize who was actually fighting .
When you realized who was fighting , you would realize what you actually were . When you realized what you actually were , now you could start living . See , this is what we don't understand that we know that in physical war , there's always going to be death , there's going to be casualties , there's going to be atrocities where people lose their life .
Do we not know that it would have to happen as well on the mental and spiritual plane ? There would have to be something that would lose its existence not losing it , since it's gone , transmute , transform .
So this is why we have to experience these hardships , we have to experience this heartache , because this is the battle , so that a part of us can die off , do we understand ? So I know .
A lot of times and this is me along this journey of there , was a part of me that wanted to die , to the point that it said I don't want to live anymore , I'm ready to die , and this term that humans had came up with , that we call suicide , started to usher in , and I had thoughts of thoughts of ending my life , ending my life , and then I realized now
where I'm at . Good God , I'm out here , when it's coming through . It was not that I wanted to end the life , it was that a part of me was ready to die . A part of me , a part of me , said I am ready , I am ready to go , I am no longer needed . You can let go of me now . You have extracted the information .
I have done all that I could to parlay the information that was needed for your transmutation . I have given you what is needed . It's on you . Now . You got to let me go . We process this , though , because we think that we are our mind . We process this as I don't want to live anymore . I don't want to live anymore . I want to die .
I want to end my life . No , no , no . This is just a part of your mind . This is a part of your mind that's saying I'm done here . This frequency that I'm at , I can't go where you're going . You have so much more in store . You have so much more that you're going to be .
You've been on this journey of healing these wounds and I know that it's really difficult , but I can't go with you because the frequency that I'm at of shame and guilt and worry and anxiety and regret and unworthiness , I don't resonate with what you're about to become . So I must end now , I must stop . Do we see how this works now ?
So I realized in my own life on the battlefield there's going to have to be casualties . There's going to be have to be parts of me that say you're dying . It's not our job to resuscitate you . Our job is to make it peaceful and comfortable for you to go ahead and lay down and go to the other side .
So it's not just the one death when your whole quote unquote life ends , it's the many deaths that take place within your mind . It's the many versions of you that have to be released after they're healed . So this is why this journey is ever-evolving . It's ever-expanding . The reason why is because there was infinite versions .
We have to understand who's actually the one going to win the war , who's the one who's actually competing against the ego ? It was the infinite self , the spirit , the consciousness , the I am the all , the absolute , the universe , god , brahmin , allah , whatever you want to refer to it , as this is the infinite part that creates and emanates through all things .
Through all things , not just living things through all things . Sometimes we refer to this as energy . It is infinite . We don't grasp infinite . The mind can't grasp infinity , because the mind operates in terms of starts and endings , beginnings and finishing , starting lines and destinations . It can't understand infinity . There is no start and there is no ending .
It can't grasp it . So , this battle that's taking place , the spirit , the parent , is saying yo , we got to keep it moving , we got to keep going . This isn't it . You got to let this go , you got to let this go for what we can become and what we can do . This is why I left myself to become the stars , the universe , the planets , you .
I wanted to see what it was like . I just asked myself what could I become ? And I became you . But the issue is , you thought you were separate from me . You thought that you were separate from me because of this thing called the ego . I'm not separate from you , you are the ego , you are the ego I am . I am you , I am in you and you are in me .
When you understand this , we got to pick it up . Lets keep moving . Lets just keep moving . I know it's hard . I know it's hard because you thought you were actually this identity . I know it's really hard because you thought you were your religion . I know this is really hard because you thought you were your spouse .
I know this is really hard because you thought you were your marriage . You thought all of there is no you . There's no such thing as you . It was just I . It was just I , the . I am the indwelling spirit , consciousness , as science would refer to it as awareness , the self . That is it .
But you cannot have this awareness until you get rid of the thing that edges God out . Not God , the man with the white beard sitting on a cloud touching Adam . No , god . Everything source , the source of all , the source of all . What is all ? Everything was energy . That , that , the divine particle .
You cannot move on until you realize that this is what you actually were . We don't grasp all . We don't grasp all . We don't grasp it , we don't grasp it . All means everything . Good God , almighty . All means everything . All means everything .
If we look at the religious texts , the religious texts makes us forget the religious texts makes us forget what we actually are . Even in the Bible said God was everything . If God is everything , how is it separate from me ? How , how ? It's because it was written with the mind . You see , it's everywhere and it's all the time . It's omnipresent .
All of it , 100% , is everywhere except in me , except in me . That's because there was no me . You are the I am , but in order to do that , you would have to gain back control of this thing that we call the mind . Because you thought you were the child you were that . You thought you were that child that was acting up in a grocery store .
You know , you see them , little kids , kids acting up in the store , just acting , while black and mild , like their parents . They just like they wouldn't raised . You thought you were this . You are not . You were the parent of it , you were the awareness behind it .
¶ The Journey of Self-Discovery
I am the I am , and here's when you'll know what I'm talking about . You'll know what I'm talking about when you cannot explain it to anyone . People ask well , who are you , what are you ? I cannot say . I can give you a bunch of identities that I'm using in this physical experience so that way you can maybe understand how I view this identity .
But I cannot explain , I cannot use words . I cannot use words to explain that what I am , I cannot use the five senses to explain what I am . I am the , I am it's self knowing . Do we see how this works ? So why am I saying this ?
Because the indwelling spirit that emanates through all is what you actually were and the war that was taking place was between the part of you that forgot . This is why we're on a soul retrieval mission .
See , every time that a wound happened , every time that you experienced abuse , every time that you experienced trauma , every time that you experienced neglect , every time that you experienced abandonment , every time that you experienced guilt , every time that you experienced guilt , every time that you had trust issues , you forgot . You forgot .
And the reason why was because you thought the ego thought it needed to trust someone more than it trusted itself . Hear me when I say this it thought it needed to trust someone more than it trusted its self , self spirit . The ego needed to trust the self Good God , almighty , y'all ain't trying to hear me the ego needed to trust the self .
But the ego couldn't trust the self because it was just a child . It was just a child , it did not know .
So now something happens and you're stuck in that mentality , you're stuck in that state of consciousness , you're stuck in that way of being yeah , you may be 35 years old , you may be a grown woman , you may be a grown man , doing all these grown things in this relationship , but you don't realize that you're an 11-year-old inside .
So guess what now , when your partner says something or does something , you act out like the 11-year-old . You act like the 11-year-old who forgot . It is on its journey of remembering and recognizing what it actually is . So this is why we have to endure and encounter these wounds in this human incarnation . We have to . They happen so we can remember .
That's it Because you forgot when you became a human . You forgot , and I know , I know the ego's going to operate in its dualistic perspective and think well , this is bad and trauma and abuse is worse than murder and rape . Hold on now . If we look at the dog , the dog sees no difference between rape and murder .
The dog sees no difference between abandonment and abuse . It sees no difference . It does not have the length of perception we do as humans , though . That's the ego , that's the mind , that's what it does . It creates this dualistic perspective , as if one's better than the other . How could it be ? It just is . So .
Now , my responsibility , my responsibility , is to see why . Why . Yeah , yeah , yeah , I know I know grandpa did some things that were heinous . My father did things that were heinous . I know you've dealt with abuse . I know you've dealt with trauma . I get it . I get it . I don't want to negate that .
But even in that there was a deeper cosmic reason , because that little battle , that little war that's happening , it was just so you could become more aware of self , more aware of spirit . Do you see how this works ?
So , just maybe , just maybe , if we get a little further down the road good God , almighty , I'm trying to hear If we get a little further down the road , you'll see that there was actually working for you , that was actually trying to get you just a little bit more closer to that what you actually were .
It wasn't trying to harm you , it wasn't trying to break you ? What do they say in the book ? What do they say in the Bible ? No weapon formed against you shall prosper . They weren't weapons formed against you to begin with . They were not weapons , they were the bookmarks . They were the bookmarks .
So when you got your tools to be able to go back and heal them , you would know where to go . When you got the tools so you didn't have the tools . You didn't have the tools . The window was broken , the door broke , but you didn't have the screwdriver and the drill to fix it . You didn't have it yet .
So the trauma happened back when you were 10 , but you didn't have the tools yet to fix it . So we had to go ahead and leave a bookmark there through the trauma . So when your tools were developed , you'd be able to go back . And now it's only you to go back and fix it up and patch it up .
And here's the beauty of it when you fix that door and close it , you just open up a new door in the future , and this is the beauty of it . This is the beauty of infinity . What happens on one end has to happen on the other end . Do we see how this works ? So what is my point ? The war that's taking place is happening within you .
That's the only place that's happening . It was you versus you , and I know , I know it's lonely , I know it . People tell me oh my gosh , it's so lonely . I know it's lonely , I get it , but that was the only way . Why do you think Jesus went out to the desert by himself ? Why do you think the spirit went out ?
Why do you think the story , why do you think he went out there ? The devil showed up . The devil wouldn't invite you , though , because it's not until you are by yourself . You will find yourself , and when you find yourself , you'll see that you are never alone .
You just forgot , though , so remember , spirit was everything , all the time , everywhere , so it's never alone , because that's all it was . The illusion , though , was that other things existed , that other things were separate from it . Nothing else was separate from it . Everything was it . So you'll see that you were never alone .
I'm here to tell you this as long as I'm here physically , even when I'm not here physically , you still will be able to call on my energy . I'll always be with you , always .
This is the beauty of technology that , hopefully , these teachings , these teachings will reign on through eternity , like we listen to Neville Goddard and we listen to Alan Watts and we listen to all these teachers that have passed along to the other side . These teachings will be the same , because you're never alone . You're never alone .
You never have to fight it by yourself . I offer you encouragement , I offer you support . Just keep moving forward , keep moving forward , just keep moving forward , keep moving forward , just keep moving forward . That's all I'm going to ask you . Just keep moving forward . If you keep moving forward , you will find everything that you've been seeking .
If you just keep moving forward , you will find everything that you were seeking , and when you find it , you'll realize that you are always looking for the self , as always . I'm doing all I can to provide resources for you .
