Consciousness: Literal and Shallow versus Symbolic and Deep

oh nice thanks thank you very much a couple topics give me a couple topics please abundance [Music] okay that's good especially since the pen isn't working i i scratched it out there as best i could okay okay hmm [Music] to me it's very interesting the way people study the way they pursue the spiritual path there's a lot of things there are a lot of things that we do prayer meditation reading you know drum circles a lot of things we do

these are all things that are tools on the path and so they're very very helpful and yet it's easy for people to get very caught up in the literal for example even something as non-literal as one of you brought up forgiveness abundance all these they're important concepts but they're concepts behind everything is an energy seek first the energy of god and all things will follow looking for stuff only brings you stuff now this is this is a huge huge topic here as we're getting you know i just see it it's like wow

picture this this curve okay and this curve picture three layers the heavenish layer the halfway to earth layer and the earthly layer but there's these three layers that we all go through and i love teaching things about what we all go through rather than an isolated topic which is also good because there's people that need that topic but but i love things to apply to everyone in one way or another so we all have these and live in these three layers in coming into what we know to be the line up here the universe

something changed we once were holy beings the top layer holy beings and now we're down here in the fallen world so what happened from layer one holiness to fallen meaning trouble paying bills health issues aging and whatever else those are very different aren't they holiness holiness isn't where your face creams actually work holiness isn't where you you have a better income holiness means so complete there's nothing else to talk about there's nothing to long for you know yearn for there isn't anything else in

holiness the word is whole whole complete w-h-o-l-e whole complete so it's not like holiness needs a date holy but it's such a foreign concept we have to have other conversations so we start in the consciousness starts like holiness and then comes judgment and then comes your fallen the opposite is fallen forgiven holiness again holiness is consistent on both sides fallen is consistent on both sides the only difference is whether you live judgment or forgiveness does that make sense okay so we would like to have more abundance

for example how do you get that well you you work double jobs no no that's that's what a fallen world told you so that you're never happy well i'm happy i have more money and you're gonna die a few years earlier than you would have without the second and third job because you're maxing out your stress level or whatever else your energy level so we've got this kind of a curve now here's another way to think about this how do you reach enlightenment well it's a special herb you smoke no

well it's when you find your soulmate no that'll be fun for a few weeks but then no wha what is it that's going going to most help us get enlightened well there's a few things i could say but one just one stop thinking of so literally stop being so dominantly in your left brain and start looking at life at a deeper level that's it okay well but i can't do that because there's literally problems and you think they're literal and you also think literal solutions will solve them but

you can't heal or fix or repair literal problems with the same literal mind that corrected them or that created them we have to get used to going from this side of the chart to this side or of the model what's on this side we go from fallen to forgiven to holy well that's we kind of know that but keep this whole model not just half in mind when you're judging you're falling when you're fallen you can practice forgiveness and go back to wholeness judge and you are falling but i don't just mean because i'm not

going to just do a talk on judgment and forgiveness i'm saying there's a difference between the literal world which is over here and the symbolic world which is over here so a person can say well yes i have a judgment but it's a righteous judgment because someone did something literally to me here's what you would do i wonder what the what symbolic meaning of this is i don't want symbolic i want literal and so it is bye down to hell this hell fallen you want to you want to ascend here's a

conversation another topic assent how do i ascend not living in the literal side of the world literal is hell the letter of the law is hell or as the bible says the letter of the law is death the spirit of the law is life which one do you want to have well i want life then stop taking things so literally you know i talk to people and i i use constantly that's how my mind works it's it's like this symbolism metaphor this is what ancient people used to teach children they would use parables they didn't teach literally why because

literal doesn't make any sense it makes everything squeeze into a little box so all we are is dust in the wind right so play the tune uh close my eyes right all we are is dust in the wind you know you tell that to a child they're going to be like i'm scared i'm dust that's it don't take it literally the illusionary part of you is dust in the wind it just blows away you're here you're gone that is scary you know why it's scary because you want the literal world to actually exist

why would you want the literal because that's what would scare you i want to not just be dust in the wind i want it to be something that lasts nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky the right the song there you go it's not going to last forever i'm scared you're not scared of this that you are an eternal holy being you're scared because you want your way you want your world to be real and it isn't and that scares you people are going insane in the world right now in part greatly in part

to the fact that the world that they thought was real and powerful isn't and it's making people panic okay it's making people panic they're getting disturbed why because reality is starting to reveal itself it's starting to bleed through and that scares people because they want the literal world to be real is this making sense so far i hope so this is how important this literal world concept this is how important this is for us all when you're upset maybe you should look at am i taking things too seriously too literally

maybe you know use different wording to see what might speak most to you the uh jesus was talking to the apostles once and he's saying okay guys i'm paraphrasing but uh um i'm gonna start downloading some really cool stuff right now so you know seat belt in man okay and the apostles are like okay this is going to be cool let's go for it and he goes well he go wait wait wait wait mary mary magdalene was in the room peter's like remember we got to get rid of her because women aren't allowed to

be directly taught that was against the culture and the time women aren't allowed to be in the room and jesus is like oh well what do you propose we do you know what he said well she's not she's not a man only men are worthy jesus then says then let's make her into a man now if you take that literally gets him some what are you going to get out some instruments and hormones or something you know and sex change operations or what do you do but this is why fundamental religions are so messed up because everything's about the letter of

the law that's why in in the far east the concept of shiva is to break the illusions of what the gods because people were taking the rules of brahma and so forth so literally and it's just brilliant you know she was going to come in and go this is going to be so much fun oh no but we're holy men oh are you we're holy we we know all the the the vedas and we recite things and we have it memorized same as the pharisees in the middle east okay it's the same as some native american elders the rituals become greater

you follow the deform the literal you you have to always wash your feet before whatever it happens to be and then you didn't wash your feet oh i'm going to hell now this is the there's no hope in these literal traditions why they're on this side of the chart this side of the chart is from holy to judged to fallen stay on the literal side of thinking literal side of the world you have no hope because literal doesn't exist it can't give you any hope all it can do is guilt and shame and make you fear

to go ahead and follow all the rules so the brahman priests are like okay here's the rules and i have everything memorized and recited shiva shows up naked they're like wait wait i'm pretty sure this isn't in here we're not supposed to be naked doing spiritual rituals why because your nakedness is tainting the celebration shiva would be like why aren't you bringing the sacredness to the nudity no shame where does just shame start it's okay for a three-month-old to be naked it's okay

for a six-month-old where's is there a line that god said but not after a certain age you know once you're five it's starting to get weird really who decides this symbolic symbolic is what we're looking for deeper thinking open your mind to deeper thinking so why so picture this jesus then says to peter why why is mary not allowed to be in here because she's not worthy so men are what worthy so when jesus said let's make her a man did it mean make her a man yes or no what did it mean make her

worthy that's it how do you make her worthy don't judge her that's all now she's worthy see her as one with everyone else she's suddenly worthy only god can make things worthy where's god oh up in the sky somewhere really man i'm sorry for you your religion is that all power is out there somewhere in space do you see how beautiful everything can be when you bring it to the here and now it's like the worthiness is all we're supposed to be looking at how can i see her worthy now that's

that's thousands of years 2000 years later course in miracles technically help me to see her as you see her and now she's worthy god look through time and imagine that you've ever been an individual who would walk into a room and say to a parent don't abuse the children their god imagine being the one that would walk into a couple having an argument hold in a minute well she's supposed to do and because i'm the man of the hou she's the same as you she's a mirror of your feminine side

that you're abusing which means you're allowing only half of your side to seemingly thrive which isn't thriving at all and the other side to be beaten down you're going to come back as one of them next time being beat down so you can see what it's like is that heaven or hell so all of a sudden reincarnation isn't looking very good for that person anyway so a lot of people you know they'll they'll they'll get this concept they'll go how do you catch on i mean somebody can

tell me a dream and i can interpret it or or somebody says here's a quote out of the bible how do you interpret those things it's not about feeling or being special it's about simply asking for the deeper meaning get used to to tuning into the deeper meaning of things any of us can do it but just practice not only tuning into the deeper significance rule out the literal not completely but just try to move more into i wonder what the deeper meaning of this might be and i'm telling you it shifts you from

here to this side it takes you into your right mind healthy thinking and oh my god what a difference it would make every religion would be transformed if they said we're going to announce what if the pope announced suddenly internationally all around the world global tv from now on every time we do a ceremony in our churches we're going to explain what we're doing and everybody will participate as a consciousness changing see instead of a thing you do it's mirroring what you're becoming how cool would that be

how cool what if the christian religions said we're going to focus more on christ in jesus rather than the guy that was crucified right now the pagans are still waiting every year for the sun to come back in the atmosphere in the sky literal the jews are still waiting for a messiah literally the buddhists of matreya buddha all the groups are still waiting for something to happen literally every one of them i don't care how cool you think those religion traditions are every one of them is not going to get

what they're waiting for in the way they think they've got to accept the meaning of it and then it's done when right here and right now everything you were waiting for your soulmate literally my god how much longer you gonna wait people take things so literally why because they're afraid there's part of them that doesn't know how to live think feel on the symbolic side why because that's the deeper people want things to be shallow so they can stay shallow this isn't an accident well you know

what it is michael the government it's their fault they don't allow us to be deeper thinkers why don't you see through that and look at the deeper meaning of that looking at the deeper meaning of things takes responsibility so if i'm if i've got a mailman and they're not dropping off my mail you know why because they don't like me that's what it must be which could be true they could just passive aggressively be throwing it away or aggressively burning it as kindling for their fires

don't know all i know is that's an option i'm not getting my mail someone's literally out to get me there's a deeper oh let me let me takes responsibility let me go right here okay wait this is symbolic this has happened a lot in my life my boss used to not give me my check my brothers used to take things out of my room see what i'm doing i'm looking at a bigger pattern of who's mine i went from my mailman bad guy male man could be issues with males this is getting interesting right it's getting interesting go to the

deeper meaning of things here's another one my mailman isn't bringing and and i catch him and i ask him and he apologizes he's sincere i can tell it's not a purpose what's going on and here's what could come to mind he can't he's not delivering my mail because he can't find me maybe i'm not grounded and present enough do you see what i'm doing with that this is deep stuff here because you have to go maybe i'm not showing up enough in my life that's a possibility i could be so

ungrounded that the universe could be mirroring it as michael knock knock we can't find your house which is symbolic of you we can't find you what do you mean you can't find me well the mailman comes by and he drives right past like your house isn't there because subconsciously he's picking up there's no one home you know what you need some root chakra work get grounded do some tantric breathing tech exercises you know hug a tree whatever you want to do kind of funny to think about it but if you start showing

up they can't not find your house you follow what i'm saying there you know this happened here at unity of sedona i remember on the outside there were some people that that wanted to to take the leadership and and be the leaders here this is like after a year or two that i was here what's interesting is despite all the strangeness there was an important piece to this for me and that is they wanted to take over unity of sedona because there was no one else there i was there and we were having quite a

great time but i was only officially and legally listed to be here temporarily so my not showing up made them think daddy's not home we can move in on that family now it was the right thing to do because that was my agreement to call myself a temporary leader that was that was fine but the universe was saying now can you root yourself and be there and the others will go away and they did but i asked you guys do you guys want me to stay here and be the you know you know my vote would be let me leave but that always feels better when you

have problems run so that's a good option you know but i was always on tour so that was not you know being planted like this wasn't my thing so i had to take responsibility and say wow i have to completely show up i still needed your permission because we had an agreement that i'm temporary you guys said make it permanent i said and so it is when i showed up or when you show up when your partner's cheating on you maybe there's all kinds of possible reasons maybe one of them is that you're

not there show up and then they'll find you they'll see you you can make it an ultimatum okay i'm completely here i got the message you were drifting because there was no one else here i'm here now i got it will this be enough or do you need something for you that doesn't involve me and if not i'm gone if i'm if it does work then i'm present is that making sense show up why do these animals keep breaking in my yard and getting into my flowers it could be all kinds of reasons maybe

you just have some really delicious flowers but i wonder if it's they don't sense anyone home think about this please there's a deeper way of looking at everything in this world everything in life one of the biggest reasons for when a a dream you have a calling an in a a synchronicity or a psychic reading one of the most common reasons that readings or intuitions insights sometimes don't manifest one of the most common reasons is if you took it too literally tomorrow you're going to meet the person

of your dreams you're going to get married it might have meant tomorrow in one of your meditations you're going to feel complete but no because you're at safeway you know where are they where are they going this soulmate aisle you know you know it's just you know i mean this is how serious people can take it do you know i've said this before but we have lots of rave reviews about sunday services and youtube facebook we have all these rave reviews there's only two topics out of the many that i cover that

seems to irritate people one has to do with soul mates and one has to do whether whether or not jesus you know got it on with magdalen it's like these two things and you know what the theme is of both of them literal how dare you say that i need to look within instead of for my soul mate you're look the reason you're angry at me right now is because you're literally falling mighty you know you can expect people to be irritated when they're on this side of the chart they haven't found forgiveness and wholeness yet holiness

so they're upset those are the two topics that irritate people and it's like wow and i so sometimes i even have fun with those topics knowing oh this is going to be interesting but all due respect it's it's fear i come from this side of the chart it's all i know so you need to tell me things literally tell me that jesus was literally you know coupled with mary magdalene because i can't believe that it's a deeper story than that i can't believe that romanticizing anything beyond romanticizing exists i

want it to be just romantic why because then you're being validated in your insecure little literal fallen self and some people can go with that it sounds even judgmental to think it's already judged as soon as someone's needing things to be literally true they're already judging it so that they can bring it down to that level so i'm only telling you that you've done that you've judged something to make it here anytime you say i'm looking for my other wow i'm not saying you can't have people you

really connect with i'm not going to say yes or no and people ask you know jesus and mary were there what did let's say they were partnered what's the deeper meaning don't talk to me about matrimony tell me the deeper meaning when you go for the deeper meaning even of your dreams you're going to wake up with greater insights aren't you literal oh i i had a dream last night i was gardening and i decided to put in poppies instead of daffodils i guess i'm going to go to the store and get death you know poppies is

a daffodil how deep is that i'm glad you made greater your variety of flowers but that if that's as deep as it goes what if it meant something else what if when you dreamt that you died when i was in high school i was in 12th grade i had this one really trippy uh teacher she was a substitute teacher and she was into all this and i remember she would honestly she would go into the classroom and she would say okay everyone you're going to do this it was an electric electronics class you're going to you're going to practice

circuit boards you're gonna practice soldering and so do this this this okay everybody got it except for michael michael you're gonna come with me and we'd go in her office and hang out and she would say okay now here's how you bend spoons with your mind and and i remember she'd say have you had any interesting dreams and this is what i did in high school with this teacher and i remember or i remember this 19 you know whatever year how come when we get old we hesitate anyway um so i remember her

saying um i said so i had a dream and i said the dream was i was driving a car about a block from my house and there's this tiny slight hill in this one street i said and i was coming over the hill and as i went over the hill someone shot me in the head boom and i fell over she said that's because you're going through a major change in your thinking right she didn't say oh you better get a football helmet you shouldn't drive stay away from that street now if that were a reader that said stay

away from that street would it have been an accurate read not really right even with good intentions the more literal you go the greater the chance that you're wrong and you're going to get upset you're going to blame why do you think it's hard for psychics to use dates on predictions dates are one of the toughest you know why because dates make things literal if you have a dream or a vision that says either tomorrow or 30 years from now this is going to happen to you and then tomorrow comes and it doesn't

happen so you have to wait 30 more years that's taking it literal and that's not quite comforting in here i would say either tomorrow or 30. oh i get it it means at any moment this could happen do you see what i just did with that i why one 30 years that's such a broad span exactly that's what the message was supposed to be telling you it's open just look for the deeper meaning i don't care what your head tells you ask for guidance what might be the deeper meaning the more you get fixated

on a thing you'll know you're probably going the wrong direction the more you get invested in the outcome you're probably going the wrong direction look for the deeper meanings religions could do this everybody would do so much better in their lives if they looked for the deeper meaning all of a sudden matria has come all of a sudden the messiah is here you see there is no time you know it's just an illusion so to to create a life that is sort of um focused on time this is going to happen by this and so

on you're turning over to this side you're turning the fallen direction i want to ascend i want to ascend how forgiveness of course but also symbolic look for the deeper meaning when the ancient civilizations and peoples indigenous peoples taught their children they taught them to look the course in miracles calls this content versus form don't go with form go with content meaning what is the deeper meaning okay indigenous people would say once upon a time whatever the story is jack and the beanstalk what's the deeper meaning and they allow

the children's minds to start going hmm see because that's called imagination which is which is infinite it's not literal which is stuck in a little box it's wow so you wouldn't say all right children what's your interpretation of the three bears oh well you know goldilocks some of it wrong you know wrong well you know you don't it wouldn't be the right and wrong it would be like oh that's a great insight oh that's wonderful and how how did you feel about that wow and if you were one

of the three bears which one are you most like see you make it go places that's why like when i'm teaching i don't say we're going to talk about this and then be done with it which for some people is a little hard they're like he talked about two different things my mind is so you know blown and it's incomprehensible to me two topics it's all together it's all woven together so even when i'm teaching it if i talk about eight topics there's a theme to them if you could get into the feeling they

would all start explaining themselves instead of the head going wait i thought we were talking about this and now he's talking about that the consciousness the soul goes oh i get it and it ties them together that's why i as a teacher enjoy tying things together so people can say you know i i really love that you do that but for some people the more left brain and linear the hard the harder that's going to be for for you know some people anyway so it's interesting because there is no time and because there's no time

spirit has no problem contacting me around three or four in the morning god you know it's like check your clock people daylight savings time what do you use you know time difference in heaven there's no time so it just comes you know the thing is if you go to bed with a mind of prayerfulness which you should when you go to bed at night and you go i rest in god i you know it's like jesus on the cross saying into your hands i surrender my spirit say that when you go to bed oh but then you might die like jesus

they're literal into your hands i surrender my spirit into your hands i surrender my dreams into your hands i surrender my rest see it's beautiful but now that you surrendered which is sort of a form of reaching out isn't it wouldn't it stand a reason you might get a response you know something's coming back morse code telegraph something if you don't want it stop going to bed praying just use a chant leave me alone leave me alone leave me alone you know and and then you won't be bothered

and i have these conversations with jesus for example you know listen can we avoid the three and four in the morning kinds of things jesus will say oh this coming from the one who tells everybody to be awake you keep telling everybody stop being asleep i'm just relying on your you know okay fine you got me there could we put it off till six and here's what he says we could we could if you really want that no problem there's a challenge though at six the more your literal brain starts to activate the less you're gonna

hear the deeper messages are you okay with that well no okay then go with it and i'm like whatever that's it's my my chant you know whatever fine so surrender your day when you wake up surrender your sleep when you're going to sleep i live in god this is day and night and for some people that's a little much and i agree it can be sometimes you just like can i just have a human day you know i just want to be all literal and scared and you know can i just live in fear today and you can you can what i have found is the more i

wake up the harder it is to go back to sleep just like in the morning the more you wake up the harder it is to go back to sleep so the metaphor the deeper symbolic meaning of that the more i wake up the harder it is to go back to sleep oh but that's frustrating and it really can be you know when you start waking up you realize who are you going to date you just the more you wake up you can't settle as much oh you know you'll you'll do i'll just pretend i don't mind people that don't brush their teeth

you know or whatever else you know but you do mind you you know but i think i can i think i can handle that addiction as long as it's not this other addiction i can overlook that why the more you wake up you're like you can't overlook it anymore and and that whole sweet spot of soulmate waiting for your your other again on a literal level some people will tell you there's someone out there that completes you because if there is literally and out there but there isn't there's only in here

so there is no one out there oh now i'm depressed only because you took it literally and thought you needed if you're whole and over here back home you'll be fine with it so the more upset it bought you know it makes you to hear the different version of a soulmate concept the more upset that makes you the more you've been living on the literal is that bad no to air is human to forgive is holy is divine and whoever that other is you know when they find out well i i've been searching for my other how long

it didn't happen a year ago that you splintered off from another who you now have to find when did it happen then what the beginning of time so you've been searching for another since the beginning of time it's a long time and they've slept with a lot of people when they find out how many you've slept with since the beginning of time it's going to go from cellmate to hate me that's it i thought i was looking for you but wow wow you know like wow it gets really weird right to realize these things

so what's the deeper significance in in you as a teacher in seeking friends and students and viewers they're parts of myself that's it we're always just either pulling away from parts of ourselves people you don't like or trying to pull towards other parts of myself that i am liking see if there's a deeper meaning to these things and i understand that people aren't in that mind space i understand that i understand that some people when you go hey i'd like to pay your grocery bill

for you here's 20 wait why are you doing that i understand that scares people to be around people that see things from a different place so you and i have to be tactful in our approach i don't think we should you know kick the doors down of everybody and tell them the deeper meaning of life you have to be careful and if some people want to stay scared let them stay scared and i'm not putting down the literal because things do have to be done in the third dimensional world they'll they will have to be done

if someone says hey did you did you prep your garden for this this spring and for summer's crop energetically i did so i think we're good to go so you you you didn't do any of the weeding and no no i just told the weeds i'm over you how did that work in your relationship weeds you know so there are things that if someone you see somebody collapse and are injured in some collapse you you might literally want to take them to the hospital but michael said look for the deeper meaning you can on the drive

pick them up put them in the car get them to the hospital and then you're going okay i'm going to get them you know it's i'm literally taking them but i'm realizing how i feel about caring enough for a person to take them to the hospital there's deeper meaning nice job then you get to the hospital and you go hospitals oh they're so weird you know and people have such a you know i mean the food wow you know so the food there people really have a hard time with and you know so so is it that

it's cold and it's very sterile and it's very but a hospital isn't it interesting the word is kind of similar to hospitality kindness what happens in hospitals you know a lot of people die in hospitals oh so i don't like going to hospitals people die there you're gonna die and you're gonna end up there anyway in the morgue or somewhere it'd like it but or be sick one day but what that means to me hospital if a lot of people die there it sounds to me like a place that's midwifing people to the other side

it sounds like a hospitality place hospitable i mean think about it we're here to help you transition don't make them into the bad guys you see what i'm saying look for deeper meaning whatever it is um you have certain critters that invade your your yard there's a meaning to these things it's not magical to think more broadly it's normal it just seems magical to people that don't want to do it or don't remember that they can the magic looks like something wasn't there and now it is

abracadabra boom there it is but that's only happening when you don't know that it's possible think it and it can be just broaden the mind but but i want something practical mike i want a partnership and that's symbolic of what i didn't say you can't literally have one so if literal is okay it has its place but the priority needs to be on the deeper meaning seek first the deeper meaning seek first the symbolic not the literal some of the things you guys asked about look at how this applies to this as a

theme behind them all the deeper meaning looking for love and where do i find it well i'm told it's over there can you imagine raising a child honey there's a few things i want to teach you you know now that you're say 10 8 you know a few things i want to teach you i'm going to teach you this and this and one other thing i want to teach you that everyone has a soulmate a twin and you'll never be happy unless you find them and almost nobody finds them which is why everybody's miserable sweetheart you know hey honey and almost

nobody finds them well mommy where would i where would i find that we don't know they could be in not even incarnated well why wouldn't they if i'm supposed to find them because the universe just wants to mess with you they could be in madagascar well then i have to go to madagascar literally fly to madagascar the 10 year old is you know no is that how you would raise a child i hope not then don't raise yourself that way to have to go looking for anything outside yourself get it here and share that with

everyone not a special other everyone including the person you make love with or live with or you can still have them love all children but don't have them all move in how many billions there are you know just start with yours but of course in miracles it uses the term holy relationships oh that's interesting back to our chart isn't it top holy we started holy we'll end holy it'll all work out but you'll go from judging yourself as unworthy and split off having to look for someone else that you can't find

fallen now what are you going to do own that you've been fallen forgive yourself for thinking that it was someone else and you're holy again and then you can say which is probably the greatest affirmation that any human being can speak all of my relationships are holy whomever they are anyone that could say that and it doesn't just mean partner people all my relations i have a relationship with a tree outside my house i have a relationship with critters that eat the tree i have a relationship with my car

all my relationships are holy means there is nothing that i choose to judge as less than holy i don't care what it is or who it is the podium well no not the point because that's not real it doesn't matter you'll never know how unreal it is until you love the hell out of it absolutely it's it's that's the awakening what happens is poof and everything turns to light that's one of the special effects but there's a feeling it's not just oh i saw things turning to light i'm holy now

that would still only be half of the story you would see things turn to light but you would feel the love you would feel this certain oh my god i there's nothing not not there's not nothing i would judge it's not like i must not it's i care not to it doesn't make any sense i'm not going to have to not judge i wouldn't even bother doing it because i get it it's a spontaneous moment where that which i really am is now to the foreground in my mind it's not like something happens external

and it's not something that i make myself not judge and now i'm starting to see holiness it would help to make yourself no judge it would help but there's a point where you just don't do it you just don't bother doing it why it's bad no it makes no sense what is there that i would judge and why snakes oh that's a good one because you know they might bite you really did you know that they won't bite you if they don't sense a danger in you native american rituals have not seen

billy jack the movie natives certain rituals they've done yeah i'm too old to remember that but they're too young to remember that um billy you know the native rituals of a pit of snakes walking through the rich one they don't bite why because you're not there for them to do that they sense a centered being yogananda says a mosquito can't bite you if it doesn't sense that you're off somewhere bloody hell i thought i was doing pretty well now you're telling me even a mosquito oh

geez you know now i'm now i'm imperfect laugh at it it's okay maybe it's like it's biting just to show you judged yesterday let it go because without forgiving the moment you can't be restored the mosquito is showing you where you were off not once upon a time right now and being off right now is an opportunity to turn on to get it to switch you know to switch on and go oh my god i i'm i get it look for the deeper meanings don't obsess on deeper meanings mosquito but wait what kind of

mosquito what species was it oh because it was this could mean this and that you know stop now you should only be looking on why do i obsess you know i can only obsess when i'm afraid obsession is always about fear it's the mind the head trying to solve problems it can't solve so it keeps going but what if what if and maybe you see it's it's it's running rampant poor me stop the way you would love a child honey what's going on mommy mommy it's okay sweetie what are you thinking about this okay let's breathe and you

see talk it down you deserve to be calm you deserve to be at peace and that doesn't mean you enable people in your life that don't know how to do that and they attack it's okay to say no and if you must it's like if i if i hire an electrician and it's important there's a short could cause the house to burn down it's utter bless you um you hire an electrician guys i want you to literally fix the wiring i don't want you to go well i did it symbolically i i imagined going into the panel

and rewiring it all so it's done on the highest level wow could you also rewire it because i'm literally not going to pay you if you literally didn't do the work guys the literal has its place please remember that take the person to the hospital and deal with what you got to do you know hygiene and health issues and supplements and if you're on meds for psych issues take them for now it's fine it's okay know the truth but respect the illusion so to a degree you play along to a degree jesus played alone

it's what he did do you think he couldn't have just disappeared he proved it many times why did he go through a crucifixion to show you that even when this world does seem to get you upset you crucify you metaphorically literally you can resurrect from that problem you can always bounce back the sun will go down the pagan would say and it will come back in the morning as well as seasonally there's always hope this world has been trying to get you and i to see it literally because it's hopeless literal things are hopeless things

because they're not expansive they don't have multiple options to fixing something everything's narrowed down why so that there's little hope think about that think about conspiracy stories you know conspiracy stories can really bring things down to you know what really happened there's this plot what do we do you can't do anything because look there's a plot it's not and what is the deeper meaning who cares about the deeper meaning look at this like right now people can try to solve

problems in the world but with literal solutions it can't be done look at the deeper meaning and if nobody else in the world ever hears your deeper interpretation it doesn't matter most importantly you got it and you are connected to all other minds so whenever you get something at a deeper level it's downloading to all other souls whether you know it or not well they can't unless i call them literally and tell them no we already heard you you see how did you hear me because we're all connected

so all the work that you do you don't have to literally go and and force people to go this way that way just get it in your own mind get all your changes and give thanks that you're that you're getting it is that all making sense all right please relax and take a few centering breaths just centering deeply i'm asking that our music take us into a deeper meditation so we'll use it for that so listen and feel at a deeper level but for now centered breathing set asiding all the stuff of the world

setting aside thoughts worries fears just i am on the inhale relaxed on the exhale [Music] i'm willing to learn everything at a deeper level [Music] i'm willing to feel at a deeper level i don't have to be afraid the deeper level of things is not there to intimidate me i don't have to stay in the i don't want to know [Music] i'm safe [Music] [Music] and you're the creator

you're the sustainer you're the destroyer of [Music] you're my teacher [Music] you [Music] to you [Music] you're the earth from which

all things grown [Music] you're the fire that glows [Music] for this song and [Music] you [Music] to you [Music] good day

[Music] oh [Music] good day [Music] good day [Music] is that vibration of the universe and creation gurudev is the divine teacher always bringing us from darkness to life from ignorance to awareness so i bow to all of creation and all the

wisdom that awakens me to this present moment of all the love that is here the miracle of life [Music] days [Music] oh [Music] sing to your heart

[Music] good day [Music] want you to sing to any struggle that you may be dealing with right now you've been dealing with and just see that deeper wisdom deeper clarity give thanks for anything that wants to come through for you right now and with all the reverence of your voice in your heart saying i bow to you for all the challenges for all the mistakes and come back into your alignment of your truth of your love your forgiveness align with your soul and spirit i bow to you

[Music] to you [Music] to you [Music] [Music] breathing in that feeling of gratitude the vibration the song

the mantra aspect the years and lifetimes that our musicians studied music loved music the years that it took for us to end up in this room through intention of long distance folks who are here literally the beauty the beauty the absolute gratitude for the beauty one deep deep breath concentrating on the focus the love the presence of god let that sound come out together [Laughter] and so it is

thank you beautiful thank you i pray that today has made good sense we're going to do our closing prayer in just a few seconds tune in to what you've heard please a deeper level it's never been an accident that people created and focused on a literal world please remember that it's not an accident it's fear there's more i don't want to know what else there is in my relationship it just didn't work then you know what's going to happen you'll work with one person and another

with issues you could use one to heal all of them one literal problem with a cl a partner and another literal partner and another it ends up to be 10 people you have to work on issues forgiving even if all of them were betraying you and seemingly the bad guys 10 different people to work on or one pattern called betrayal which would you rather work on go to the deeper meaning of things it's called the easy way certainly easier to do things in that way why did mankind allow the hyper masculine to say women aren't allowed to be in the room

learning because they didn't want to go to this side of the chart they didn't want to go to the deeper because it leads home to holiness why because the ego was in charge not men ego was in charge and it just drafted the more aggressive of the two genders to play the role but it's just a role so we don't blame the genders we simply choose staying stuck asleep and literal is no longer the way i choose to live i mean look at the freedom that comes from my you're allowed you're allowed to be a prisoner in a concentration camp

and still think like this instead of like this right like the wonderful viktor frankl did in auschwitz we're going to make you people like this really wow you can't control that you can try but you can't control it when a person really wants the awakening it's coming please stand for our closing prayer remember our dear ananda he's got products in the foyer there there's a table please stop by say hello give him a hug show your gratitude and definitely pick up some of his music but first a round of applause for dear

ananda and god bless you all thank you for being with us any of you who have ever joined us or any other place of spiritual awareness any of us that have ever gone to such a place in our lives and ran up against our ego and pushed through anyway to you i especially say thank you that takes such a new level of courage so god bless you for pushing through keep going for the light at the end of the tunnel the light of god surrounds us the love of god unfolds us the power of god protects us and the presence of god watches over us
