Spirituality Versus Religion

What's the difference between spirituality and religion? Well, the one summary that's been used over years you know is religion is for those who fear hell and spirituality is for those who have been there. You know, what are you going to say? I mean, it's just kind of it.

So and that is it in a nutshell, because religion becomes kind of a place to to think about those things, almost worry about those things, hell, and almost gratuitously seeking God. Like just doing it, going through motions. Spirituality is experiential. It's, "I want to know, not believe, not suspect, not kind of belief, semi-believe.

It's a real experience. So we're gonna talk about that a little bit. And when I'm done, I'm gonna share a couple of special announcements kind of along these lines. But I asked folks on my friends of Michael Moore dad Facebook page where do you see religions going, you know in the future? Not just tomorrow, but I mean like a hundred years from now, even, and I would say it was almost 50/50.

At least that's my best guess. A good number of, good proportion of them thought it's going to be gone. There's not changing with the times. They're gonna be gone, which is partly true, but some said, I think that there's there's gonna be changes like shake ups and wake up's and so there'll be some change some morphing into something better and I think that's true as well.

So some were kind of like it's hopeless and some were like now there's going to be some changes and and even though you you probably have heard me seemingly making fun of religions I have you'll also need to know that that I I explained that everything has its place so you'll hear me making fun but it's not actually hatefully I mean I just make it's make silly some of the things that are so silly and ridiculous the things that are ridiculous like persecutions that some of them have pulled off you know so there's some silliness and some you know so on but I

make light of it so that we lighten up and it's a light way of seeing through some of the dark pieces to these kinds of things but religions have a and one of the primary places for religion is to kind of give people a foundation but it's more for basic people to give kind of basic people a basic foundation of spirituality since so that's why they kind of they memorize rules and they try to live by these guidelines as a spirituality it's like you you kind of move outside that box because the problem with religion is

here are the guidelines but then heaven help you if you ever move out of the guidelines but spiritualities for people that are already out of the box they're like yeah I got the guidelines let's fly no no stay on the ground well airplanes birds and touches aren't made to stay on the ground I mean they're they're made they can move they can fly so I think of it as sort of learning to write learning the alphabet and how to make letters but then expanding out of that eventually you take the lines up when you're you know I

learned to write probably in sixth grade now it's like when you're three months old but the lines we used to have to write within and now you remove those at some point you eventually take training wheels off the bicycle and that's to me spirituality versus the other would you ever shame a child for using training wheels I hope not but that's what religion is and that's not a rude statement it's the truth it's what they're there for to give you some foundation some you know some groundedness so the basic traditions

that that's that's that's just perfect and but the day will come you know all religions traditions customs all things that people used to do within guidelines eventually all that's going to fall away and for religion too it's going to be things that they won't change things that do not morph will cause them to end and the things that they're able to keep adapting will keep moving them in the right direction and you know many leaders of different groups and thought systems have asked me to talk about this and to share because they trust my

insights and I've told them if you don't change and create like the next step for people the next people will run past that next step and you'll be looking at the back end of those people because you're going to be still sitting there with the same old thing so everybody's got their chance to kind of move and you know if you still go I still like a tradition of some kind that's fine remember it's for basic things for basic people basic learning basic guidelines call it for what it is but don't expect generally don't expect religions to cut

you loose to train you in freedom because that's not what they're designed for and I'm not dissing what they are designed for that's necessary the training wheels but there's a point where we go god I got it you know and you just get ready to fly so the challenge with these places is you know these these church these traditions it's it's kind of a slow process I mean it really is it's already been a couple thousand years just within the Christian traditions and they've they've been left in the dust by free thinkers and mystics

people that are going I got it I'm gonna know what Christ consciousness is what do you mean Christ consciousness no we want you to worship a person you know and certain statuaries and whatever el you know Jesus on the cross kind of a thing so the other issue is that these traditions these religions there's not a single one of them that doesn't to some degree try to protect itself believe it or not even Buddhist factions compete at times with one another it's really strange and that may sound oh my god I can't believe their religions they're

all religions and so there's a certain amount of if you don't come here you're going somewhere else we want our money to grow and we want our numbers to grow because then we're a larger religion and which to a degree they're saying that means we're spreading our word which is understandable but you're just not going to get something spiritual when you're worried about keeping things kind of under control so there you know there are people that just they still compete there's still strange behaviors along those lines so they they protect this

little thing you know the Latin in the Latin languages this there's a word for this even though religions are protecting their little thing you know like this is our religion we're going to heaven and you're not and then the other storm will we will just keep in reincarnating until we do you know so they're they're all having their little thing the Latin term look for a little thing is called mafia that's what the word mafia means it's our little thing so when religions have to protect their little thing it's kind of mafia like you

know and and strangely enough they act like it so what starts to happen eventually is with all these religions we learn to start embracing we just we learn to be open and embrace all of them but some people say oh I embrace all traditions and they don't even mean it it just sounds really cool to say it I honor it look I even wear beads from every different religion tradition I don't know anything about what they mean and I don't practice true spirituality but I where all the cool essentials you know like you've shopped at some sort of

multi religion you know bazaar or whatever you know so it's it's like we can say I embrace all religions and traditions and I've been to many centers many many people and and they they they they they talk it but they don't really mean it you can go to some new-age new thought unity some unity some religious science we honor all traditions and then you say really can we do a pagan ceremony we're not really into that you know it so immediately they show you there's there's limits because they got to protect their little thing so it may

sound cool but really what happens is those of us who break out of the religious traditions we start to say okay what's gonna happen if I break out here's what's gonna happen you'll know where you are in this kind of movement you start off with embracing when you're religious or even mystics they'll start off with the basics a religion or two that you most have an affinity to okay cool some of your gonna go that's me okay cool then what's gonna start to happen is you're going to embrace more traditions so it's kind of cool you you

know you might go from one or two but then you start to incorporate many traditions and you start to go I really honor all of them I can see that they all offer something and then there's a point where you say I got it you drop them all and you start to experience and live what was underneath them all so it might start with one or two you might expand to some more and then say look at me but you know I really draw from various traditions I'm a musician I can play some native stuff and I can also play

some middle-eastern stuff I have lyrics that I've written that are Celtic tunes or written you know something that South American very cool you're diverse you're eclectic spiritually musically very cool but there's a point where you've gone from a couple too many and then you go to a place at some point where you kind of drop them all you're not dissing them you're just dropping them because you become and that's what a lot of us have learned to you know call people that we

learn to call mystics mystics are not a tradition they're actually people that have kind of gotten the experiential you know they moved out of the dogma and they kind of went to Wow actually living it actually experiencing it so you know again but each religion has a place and I'm going to share a little a little I drew a little chart here because each religion is associated who has an affinity to any one of your chakras so this is another way to look at it there are no religions out there there are only the religions that we project or

reflect out there that are in here so when you say I'm studying this religion you're actually talking about reflecting one chakra or another or another or another and all religions are going to be one of these four lower chakras because these are our human four chakras so and by the way these these chakras are still our human chakras so that means religions can only at best reflect material for of the human nature which is a limited nature which means religions can't actually launch you into spiritual experience you would have to

have an upper three chakra religion and there isn't such a thing because religions are for mankind mankind is the lower four chakras make sense so far so how do I you know how do I break out of that and go up here you don't have to break out let's learn these let's embrace these these are me and there's people I swear they eat and they all protect themselves our religion is better no your religion is that chakra your religion is that shock or be quiet you're all chakras that's it you don't have to compete and prove anything

that's like saying can you surgically remove this chakra it doesn't make any sense just love them all man they all have something to offer so when we look at it of course in miracles' has a great quote which is something along the lines of a universal theology is impossible but a universal experience is necessary that's the difference a universal feel we're not going to get it to happen everybody's not going to convert to this religion to that one why because their human expressions and humans do not know what oneness is to have oneness one

belief system one experience you would have to float up here where God is one but as soon as you start talking things this ritual that Dogma this piano piece and that rule and that law you're descending back into human and they divide the one light goes through the prism and refracts into colors so the one light of God comes through the prism which is the veil across our below our throat Center and refracts into our four lower chakras remember that on the Pink Floyd any okay so all these religions claim to want to introduce you to God

but they can't because they're human expressions you see all the religions are still human that doesn't mean bad because if you say okay I get it I don't want any of that I just want to float up and be in God now you're a bliss bunny you're ungrounded we need you to show up here we need you to show up here and be able to talk it so so to try to avoid all the other the human expressions of religion or ritual or beliefs might be escapism and you have to watch for that what would show healthier is I am and I'm willing to do

I am how are we doing let's honor this Jewish holiday today I am let's honor and do this pagan ritual today I am let's do this I am let's do that you see and then you're truly embracing them all because you're coming from a different place so the religions all have their place so let's start with the root chakra clearly earth religions shamanism paganism but it teaches you foundation and respect foundation the root chakra even if you're all airy-fairy you need grounding so come in here oh I

just love being one with the Angels really sit by this tree and Center into the earth oh but that's the material world yeah and that's what your checkbook is in the - you need to show up you need to show up and get a little root stuff going some grounding wouldn't hurt for you to have sex - so with people that are actually in their bodies you know okay anyway I snorted sorry navel chakra if we're using earth water fire air as our process the water emotional chakra water religions the most well known water

religion is Christianity people would want to go no Christianity's got to be higher there's no higher they're all equally important all four centers I swear to God they are they're equal in this so water religions but what are the water religions teach us mostly passion now miss could misdirected the passionate Christian religions or water religions you know they do things like you you know they get up there and do the televangelists thing and you are going to hell you know it's all but it's emotional I'll take the passion any day

I'm not interested in what you're saying but I like the passion that's kind of cool the solar plexus chakra fire religions fire religions man there's some zeal and passion again but it's also about focus and discipline here Islam Judaism Zoroastrianism you know it's it's it's there I mean it's it's the fire religions they even have hot dryer places it's fire all religions have a little of each chakra by the way the Native Americans have fire rituals I mean they all mix it up a little bit but generally they're you know in an area so

but this is the mind not the emotions this is about discipline which is why Mohammed was so adamant about have some discipline he was telling some very undisciplined tribes and people they need to get their act together Moses here there are some Commandments you must keep he was saying basically we read between the lines man you people are out of control you need to get it together here are some guidelines to follow the heart chakra almost all the traditions from the east it's hard to pin Hinduism because

Hinduism so broad in so many ways but I could say Hinduism Buddhism Taoism it's the air element New Thought traditions are very much more air you know so so the air and we think I like the air that's very breathy and new-agey and spiritual that's nice but how you doing here it's got to be equal it's got to be balanced so what we're learning just in that is technically I could would study all religions now if I study them intellectually what you're doing is you're becoming like a theologian or you're becoming an academic around a

religions and what you're doing is by studying them so much you're actually distancing yourself from ever being them the more you study God the more you distance from God so you because you want to analyze it a shaman says do you want to understand this lizard sit with it and be it and imagine if I am this lizard how do I feel and how do I function what foods do I like and so on what are my fears what you know and so just like you become it science says to understand the lizard we must kill it dissect it put it under a microscope and

analyze it and then even name some of the things we're looking at and that's what we do that's the left brain that's the linear the right brain goes I'm gonna what is it I've shared this before but Einstein you go home and he's Wow Wow he's a master what a mind so Einstein can we interview you you know Albert how did you come up with some of your great theories theorems your beliefs like does the speed of light he said not well when you analyze it enough and do the math it'll show up what he said was I imagine that I am

like beaming through the universe and then ask myself how I feel and the light answers and I get my ideas see like when I say when I do talks I do it's like a search find I just kind of think of a topic and then it all starts downloading right so that's how it's done it's it's more hole minded and any of us can use that in our lives are specific lives a doctor a nurse could improve as a doctor a nurse when they when they start to go what's really happening here what am I being called to do and what's really happening rather than linear but

remember the linear world shames if you go outside linear religions Sciences whatever happens to be science religion politics like I said those are the unholy trinity you know those are the Antichrist because everything about them is trying to get away from feeling knowing believing experiencing so the heart chakra and so all all religions though in one where aren or another the good news is they are in one way or another trying to introduce us to God but they can't because they're still of man but they're still at least you could

say well intended especially since they they they just can't introduce you to experience they can only introduce you to the history or some of the rules and laws and theories they can't give you experience because it's like a religious site it's like a science I love religion to analyze and so it kind of keeps you away from the experience itself but again what's nice is we can say but I can still gain something from each of those I literally have told people if they're low on one chakra their energy is low you could

tell them to study the traditions of that chakra and it'll help turn it on somebody that's too Airy we can talk to him about doing some earth work some grounded stuff you know getting into the earth onto the earth connecting and it could help balance that imbalance between the heart and the the root chakra so each religion might claim to take you to God but by nature they're limited because they're made from human so the next piece I want to share is the when we start to look at the the history of things technically what's so funny

each of these yeah it is she knows what's coming Kanye you know when we start to look at these I want to explain one more thing if I said these are based on limited but something's here what is it that gets you here technically the only thing that's ever been taught out there that can get you here is called Christ consciousness or I am it's God only God can take you to God the the humans can't they can only talk about it they can't get you there so God or what I call Christ consciousness now what's nice is you can look at some of these

traditions in these these other people there you know root religions the solar plexus religions whatever their thought systems teachers and you'll not hear them praising each other you don't usually hear Mohammed Shaikh saying well Lao Tzu Wow I mean Wow nor do you typically hear you know Buddha saying something about a Middle Eastern teacher but you'll find that all of them talk about Christ Buddha said there's a light-skinned person coming prophet coming that will take you beyond what I can take you to he's not going to

talk about reincarnation and clearing your Karma he's going to represent grace which takes you above the doings of clearing your karma Mohammed says I had a vision of all the prophets of history and Jesus was the capstone he was the top the Native Americans say there was this light-skinned one that came to visit us light-skinned one and he wore a seamless robe and had marks on his wrists and feet he is the teacher of teachers the healer of healers see so all these various traditions they got it they knew

it the the ascended masters if you're into that they talk about Jesus being the master of masters all these various traditions see this is how I kind of found what I'm into I went I don't like to settle on something like a piece of something I'm like I'm open to studying all the religions but for a moment you think if I study them all then I get it because it's all pieces and if you get the pieces together you know the whole puzzle and I found no the pieces are still pieces of a puzzle and it's still a puzzle what causes the

lines of each piece to disappear and then the the puzzle picture becomes a picture and then the picture becomes an experience what does that and I went God so that's why I don't settle I don't I don't tell us to do and get caught in any one thing I just talk about anything what are we going to talk about today oh let's let's bring that in let's bring that in because they all play a part and when I came into Sedona some people love that because they go we love being eclectic so they go this is Michael guy he's like the eclectic of all eclectic

he can talk about anything one minute he's 12 stepping the next minute Zoroastrianism and so on is it Wow and they thought that was cool because they like being eclectic because that then becomes their religion to do nothing except talk about sideways stuff so it collected you're addicted to everything but did any of it take you vertical oh no we just want to talk some more about more stuff Michael is amazing he could keep talking about stuff then I say no I don't listen to me I talk about stuff and then I take it vertical and then I talk about stuff and

then I take it vertical always back to God and a lot of people got that that's why the room is as full as it is you know typically you know it's people go there's something here and it's to introduce people to God to get back to God first we can still talk about all the other stuff but back to God so there's really great rhyme and reason to all this so and another group though and then there's the Jews talking about the coming Messiah and the Messiah we'll get into this but the Messiah then is Jesus so all these different groups are really

talking about the same person someone that didn't start Christianity making Christianity the top religion because it isn't it's a water religion just one religion and it's emotional it's all about guilt and shame but also the love of God Jesus loves us so it's still emotional which is cool but it can go south now and again however there's something else there's another group the Druids the Druids are interesting because some of you'll go well yeah I heard about the India you don't just hear about them explain this

if you ever heard the name Essenes the Essenes are not just an interesting group the Essenes are a group of the New Agers of that time they're the Gnostics and new ages of that time 2,000 years ago and even more 3,000 years ago and they got together and said all this horizontal stuff is really cool but why don't we set something up to get us right back to God directly which doesn't dis this stuff it means embracing this but only the essentials into one thing that helps you discipline and focus and so on but to God

so the Essenes were taking us home okay they were taking us home they were like hey this is what this is about the award is seen means expectant ones like pregnant the Essenes we are the expectant ones what do you see you guys live in constant anticipation like that's doesn't sound very centered no expectant ones meant we are expecting the Messiah we are expecting the Christ to come into body and the pagans are going yeah we do that all the time every year we celebrate the coming of the son the coming of light to the world planet

airily and the Essenes go yeah but now it's actually gonna happen it's gonna be embodied in someone so everybody's gonna know this is cool they're seeing it the Stars the Magi of Persia you know all the wise men through Wiseman the birth of Jesus you know they're like it's in the star something's happening something's coming let's get ready for this so the Druids are kind of like a priestly tribe a priestly group for the Celtic people or or all they really all the Western European people it it's

beyond just one little town or city or or even a continent it spreads a lot more than people know but the the priests of the celts and the celts are called kimrie orca Marian's or even Cal TOI but then they add the belt for the OO but instead of Celtic L die or Celt we call them Celts but these priests these are the druids for the Celtic for the Western European people they're the they're the Druids and there's some remarkable similarities between them and the priests the Levite tribe of Israel so you go well that's amazing

how things can be so startingly startingly similar from one continent to another it's not an accident so I'll explain that these Celtic people these these druids are just like the priests of the israelites they believe in one God they abour a vital worship and they even used to walk around with a replica of the Ark which the Israelite priests used to carry the Ark of the Covenant remember Raiders of the Lost Ark right so the Druids are walking around with this replica of an ark and people like oh we don't know they must have heard a

rumor and started making something up to kind of carry around no they knew about the Ark they actually knew about this so they even believed in a coming Messiah and they called him before he was born yes ooh so the Druids knew about the coming Messiah but the priests in Israel chose not to honor him when he arrived but the Israelite priests in Britain honored him and expected him the Druids are nothing but we'll call him Jewish priests that's all they are once again they're just connected they do the same thing they

wear the robes they look to say it's amazing almost you know breastplates at times they had very similar garb and belief so I think that's just fantastic so the British people become you know they've become considered to be in by and large British the British people British means the Covenant people and that's what the Israelites saw themselves to be where their chosen words were the Covenant people so it's really amazing and the high priests are known to have walked into wars some of the battles they had to fight to protect

themselves because they're like we are the protectors of the truth and that's because the the Druids were sort of a replica they were a branch of the Benjamin Knights there's 12 tribes of Israel and the Benjamin Knights were the ones that were the warrior protecting the Jews in their worship and the priests so in the Celts you have the warrior Celts that are the Benjamin Knights that have traveled and you have the high priests which are like the Levites of the tribe of Israel except their druids so there's mention that

they've gone into battle the Celts and they'll get the druid priests out in front and the brute druid trees would wear their robes their druid priests they wear their robes and they would have three golden rods on those as symbols painted on their the GAR and it was the rod of Aaron from the days of Moses and you know an Old Testament they would be the rod of a tree so why are they in Britain why is that they're in England England meant the land of the angels or English the angelic people God man or angelic people there's something

here guys it's so deep and so beautiful but easily missed so we say the Celts are the Celts are made up of a couple race the British and then there's a meaning to the word British the Saxons who are the Saxons the Saxons are Isaac's sons the tribe of Isaac Isaac's sons the tribes of Israel and one of the tribes you know it's a it's a heritage of Isaac so the people that said we are Saxons meant to say we are a tribe of Isaac's sons so what happens is during the Babylonian captivity and during the Egyptian captivity most of us don't know

Babylon cap to capture the people of Israel but the people of Israel that's not Jews that's one tribe Judah are called Jews one tribe and in the region they were warring with each other so they decided the Jews are going to live at one end of the Judean region and all the other tribes are going to live at the other end more or less so they all got taken into captivity karmically because they were fighting with each other they all went into captivity but people don't realize they also got out of captivity

besides Moses that story that's just later the Israelites left but nobody knows where they went so all we hear about are Jews because that tribe most of them went back to Judea and where the other tribes go they went to Britain they went to other places and their name is sort of carried but look at the tradition so part of what I'm getting to is that those those druids were the same as israel chosen people but one chose not to make their way ready for the christ because in there the Messiah know that but the

other did so we here for example if you look in the Bible you'll hear about Paul going off teachings Jesus said to the Apostles go off and teach the Lost Tribes where are they and why are they lost do you think they just hung around the Judean region are they lost they're there where are the other several tribes and we don't realize that Paul Peter the Apostles where did they go the Lost Tribes meant the tribes of Israel that took off in different places the Mormons even talked about this and say we believes the tribes influence the

Phoenicians and the Phoenicians came to America long before Columbus there was so much more activity on this planet than people know so much more interaction but I'm talking about a spiritual purpose behind all this so I'll get to that so Jesus says go and teach the Lost Tribes because the Lost Tribes and and the Jews are holders of the the root their light and the fire the mind we're going to give you a tradition but we're going to give you discipline so we're gonna be the holders of the law so they're holding this space

so that we can make way for the coming of Christ consciousness but some of them missed that chose not to honor that but the Celts did that's why we have Christ as it as a religion but Christ consciousness was birthed in Jerusalem or the region Judea region where though did it go after it was born it was Europe it was Britain so Britain became the place where it grew as a consciousness and I'm not just giving a history lesson I'm saying there's reasons to this why the Druids were involved and why they said we believe in

Yeshua we believe in a coming Messiah and then when Israel with Jesus was crucified and ascends the people of Israel started murdering the Christians started you know persecuting Christians and all that they didn't know where to go or the families and the apostles of Jesus so they got on a boat and they splint with Mary Magdalene they went to the South of France she said I like it or else take the rest of them went to Britain they said you know she said I want more sunshine I'm saying it Francis so the rest of them went to Britain this

is this is recorded stuff they go to Britain and the great uncle of Jesus his name is joseph of arimathea he gets to Britain and people go well yeah we heard he went there he didn't just go there the Druids were waiting for him they were the Israelite masters that did accept rather than didn't accept so they said we're not only waiting for you we've already prepared land and they gave him thousands of acres and it was permanently tax-free to Joseph and mother Mary who he was taken care of and John the Beloved went for a little while

and some of the other Philip and some of the other apostles but it's amazing so in other words the growth of not just Christianity because that's a weird thing Christ consciousness was spreading well it is you know it was spreading so the thing called Christianity was turned into a religion over time where did it go to do that Rome who was running Rome the Romans okay they were into killing everybody so the church became the holy what a weird use of words holy roman catholic church and that's where that came from and they said and we're the

one in a rich of course you're gonna say that your romans you like to conquer everybody so you're the one and only religion anyway so these people are going let's follow the Druids you know it comes from the word jos or different two different pronunciations but Druce or drew drew it and they say that's where the word comes from because it means oak right but it comes from actually from the word drew 'then which means the truth it means servants of the truth against the world the druids true name comes from jus 'then which means you know

we're protecting the truth against the world ah got chills when I even said that Wow okay yeah she's having a cigarette after that one okay so think about this the drew it's now the Druids are saying we know they didn't accept you there and I'm talking to you you may not be accepted in your family of origin but someone's waiting for you the Druids are waiting for you not literally because even that can get corrupted but religion starts coming up a little later but the they call it the the apostles and

disciples of Jesus they said let's spread the light they weren't talking about religions but they were called bringers of the way guardians of the way before it was called Christianity it was called the way because jesus said I am the way so to study Jesus's teaching meant you were studying the way the way what the way home the way to Christ consciousness it wasn't made dogmatic and religious but grown set out an edict and said kill all Christians and Christianity was growing in Britain you don't just hear they hit you we think

we're hearing history about how the Romans invaded Britain because they wanted to take it over they wanted to kill and stamp out Christianity that was being developed in Britain they went after Britain because of their beliefs we think it was just war it wasn't they were trying to stop out their beliefs just like people from your past your religion your family whomever your X's try to stomp out not just you but it's actually believe it or not they go after your light they rape you they molest you because not just dysfunction of

humaneness they're trying on some level or another to stomp out your light that's what it's all about people they may not know it consciously that that's what they're doing they just think I'm just dysfunctional I have addictions I'm you know misbehaving it's underneath it all it's a spiritual warfare and people are trying to snuff out your light so in Britain the Romans kept going and trying to fight them and you know historians will say oh but those Brits were so strong and no the Brits said we're fighting for the truth

you cannot take freedom from us we will not be enslaved ever and we have beliefs but the beliefs they were holding was Christ consciousness you didn't fight people as many people fighting in Jerusalem for christ consciousness at best they were just being put to death in Britain they said no not today because you and I all have to learn to honor our boundaries and essentially like even course in miracles' Jesus says you have to protect your inner Chuck Christ child it's a weird thing to say you have to protect it yes because the

Christ child is new in US and it's growing so by us learning to set healthy boundaries and protect that it can grow into maturity so the Druids were protectors of the way and the Celts were like we'll fight to the death and here's one reason why they believed in immortality just like the Knights Templar and just like the Cathars they said there is no such thing as death the Romans were like we're pretty ferocious but these people aren't afraid of us and that's why they were fought off so well and they never conquered Britain at best

they could get a truce because they figure we just can't defeat them but if you are the place that Christ consciousness gets developed and people keep trying to wipe you out just do what the Druids and the Celts did say no the ego doesn't actually have the power to conquer you nor does the Roman Catholic turn or Rome the Romans they don't have the power to destroy us they don't have any power except what we give them and what we forget is during that time Mother Mary sitting right there in Glastonbury where she lives in a in a

home and she eventually passes away there and there's other disciples of Jesus apostles they come to say goodbye to her so it's an amazing thing that place a sacred holy land like Blake said and did his feet in ancient times walk upon England's mountain green you know and was the holy Lamb of God right it's a beautiful prayer song poem that Blake wrote and it was recorded by Emerson Lake and Palmer but I'm just mentioning the song called Jerusalem you know it's like there's this powerful is it true that Jesus is associated with

Britain more so Christ consciousness planted there not in Jerusalem that's it you know Jerusalem was like a child prematurely being born but you'd get him to the right place for the health and nurturance born in the back of a cab but get him somewhere safe so born in a place that didn't want it except it still has its beauty still has its sacredness but all the religions lost something somewhere which was the experience they wanted to keep the rules the laws and the little structures anytime you break out of that they get a

little freaky about it so it's not an accident that I decided some dance you know someday I believe we're gonna create a retreat I call it Eden Shire now but we're gonna create a retreat that's for people just like these these people into Christ consciousness went and the Druids welcomed them we too are gonna go somewhere and have a retreat where we can live and and honor that it'll be like you know a new version of druids but it's no accident it's no accident that the president of our board is enacting druid but is dedicated to

Christ that but is dedicated to Christ consciousness okay it's not an accident I'm serious it's not an accident and it's no accident that that you know all these things we talk about I mean it's for a reason I'm not just like talking there's purpose behind it and when you when you hear some of what I just said some of you were going Knights Templars or Cathars or and the Druids guys all of them are bearers of the light for the longest time my newsletter was called the Light Bearer because it represented the the Druids and this group and that

groom and the Cathars and the Essenes holders of light not holders of tradition and Dogma holders of the light first of all light bears let's show the way light bears and those of us who recognize we're made in the image of God which is liked and work on developing that remembrance of our light are called light workers so it's a term I believe you know a lot of people say it's something I coined I don't know you know but that's what's said a long time ago in the 80s I started using it and it started catching on so it's become kind

of a common term lightworkers none of this is an accident you know the the old religions I can tell you they are in their own way gonna fade away or they're gonna change so much some of them will change so much you can't recognize them from a few generations later if that's what's gonna happen in this world so we can honor all religions but not gratuitously we can learn to honor all religions all right why is it's why it's it's it's perfect but they are a human expression so let's honor religions as a human expression of our quest for

spirituality fair enough all right but then we can also honor spirituality not religions can be honored for our quest towards spirituality but spirituality should be honored because it takes us to spirit one takes us one level the other takes us the next level is that all making sense and I and it's no accident that I'm looking for a retreat up in probably Colorado but by chance that's what we picked and the place the region we're looking is because this idea this idea of a retreat is rooted partly in my

retreat I had in Bellingham Washington and when we've been talking here in Sedona strangely Bellingham Washington is along the same latitude as Glastonbury and Sedonas along this close to the same latitude as Jerusalem so all these things the whys why am I even saying this today why not last week and win our week from all these things are somehow part of a design and saying in another way guys this isn't the first time you or I if you're into something like this have done this you know some of you were

the celts some of you were the is seen some of you were both some of you were the Knights Templar some of you were the Arthurian Knights and they were a real group it's light work we've done light work some of you in Lemuria did light work some of you did light work in Atlantis and some of you didn't some people out there were naughty in Atlantis but some of us you know but some of us you know some of us were doing light work even in Atlantis and if you're in this and watching this you're likely someone to tasted light somewhere

along the line and became part of it this isn't the first time I've taught this isn't the first time you listened worshiped prayed celebrated laughed meditated together we've done this some of us did it as Anasazi see there's another word for lightworkers the illumined ones the ones that glow and you watch History Channel the gold that must have been aliens in some cases because there are such things as light beings higher dimensional beings that are also light workers but not all other dimensional beings are into light just

like humans you meet some and they're into light and some that are into darkness and other species from other place the same thing some are malevolent some are benevolent but our job is to find the light cling to the light for lack of a better word cling to the light and work that let's shine more light can I can I light my candle on your please thank you and then you take that somewhere and light someone else's candle and so on so the illumined ones the shining ones the Anasazi people where did they go who were they oh they were a native tribe no

they weren't just interview the the Hopi tribes the Hopi people and they'll say no they were not they came before us we're not actually blood per se blood descendants of the Anasazi that were here in the southwest before the hopi the Hopi say they're their own people they were taller light-skinned they had a glow kind of to them people that do light work start to shine sometimes for metaphysical reasons that's there but sometimes it's just an energy like you know and so the people that a pope saw children captured in

Britain brought to Rome to be slaved enslaved he saw them he said who are they you know in the the the Centurion said these are captive to capture children from England or Britain and the Pope said yes they are indeed because the word meant God man or or angel people and this Pope said these people glow but he didn't literally like metaphysically mean they glow they had this amazing blonde it's long hair blue eyes clear just clear eyes they had this amazing countenance to them see and you're one of them

somewhere along the line and if you if you sometimes go with God not at all I mean I feel broken and and and I dressed dark and I to hide a little bit that's because somewhere along the line they broke you but if you're still here you weren't broken completely it means they beat you up and it wore you down now you drop the cloak of darkness and you stand up and you say I got it I'm back I fell asleep because we all get tired sometimes I fell asleep and now I'm I'm awake again and that's what it means to be born again to say not today

there's all the other other colorful terms I could use for it but but not today to say that to all the peoples at the pit and don't hate them and don't shame and hate you know wronged them a judge just go Wow today and that's what these warriors did and the Romans were like what are we gonna do with these people they just won't give in but it wasn't because they were from a different country it's because they had a real belief they believed in something real and they knew live or die that doesn't even matter

we're connected we're servants of the truth so do you think it matters you kill us we're still servants of the truth only good can happen to us when we're staying aligned with this if we succumb to fear and you know Roman the thumb of Rome trying to press this down then we're not alive anyway so we would rather die alive than live dead let's take a few centering breaths on that note let us pray let's tune out the stuff of the world let's take a moment to sort of marvel that everything's connected everything's

connected whatever my beliefs Anasazi helped be this religion that religion whatever they're all just things along the way they all have a place this tribe that tribe what's amazing is the deeper connectedness of all these there's purpose there's rhyme and reason and I choose to be part of the reason I choose to be part of purpose God's purpose even if the gears move slowly in this awakening process I choose to be one of the gears that turn in righteousness right consciousness the right direction

awakening rather than asleep then tune in for a moment just breathing out the world and being open open open how do I connect to any of this there's the traditional side of any of us well I'm this culture I'm that race I'm that gender I'm that religion that's fine we know all that if you need to name that name it and get it out of the way but what else are you so taking all the traditional definitions and genetics of me what if I go further bigger broader and I start to realize I'm also like a lamb Orion those ones that were

living under the law of one they called it the children of the law of one the children of light even in ancient ancient times tens and hundreds of thousands of years ago does that feel familiar to me whatever I might know about Lemuria if I have an attraction to the lush because that's what the continent was like lush green tropical motherly peaceful oneness gatherings gatherings of light love people gathering they loved scent they loved vibrational healing they loved vibration does that resonate what about other dimensional beings the Andromeda system arcturion system the

Sirius system could be Pleiadian or Orion that you resonate with whatever it is some nurtured light some didn't but just see what smells familiar to you light beings do I feel any connection to light beings higher dimensional beings multi-dimensional beings like the Arcturians shining ones beings of light and the cultures on earth do I feel any resonance with the Anasazi ancient southwestern people taller light-skinned and were said to be able to manifest water where there was no water they were tuned in they were connected and then

the Hopi say they never died they never got disease they didn't die in it that's not why they went away they ascended and on the other side of the planet around the same time strangely enough the Cathars and the Knights Templar disappeared for the most part how is that the connection these are waves of light workers coming into this world to make a difference the Arthurian Knights there's a reason why Arthurian sounds similar to arcturion the Arthurian Knights the Knights Templar the Cathars it's okay if you feel a little warrior

inside sometimes instead of all just floating kind of mellow lamb Orion it's okay that you feel sometimes you might have been persecuted because you might have been a Kathryn Knights Templar it's okay that you feel a little bit of a angst inside about authority figures churches politics because that's what they do control and often cause harm just see it for what it is and no longer hate or revile or shrink back from them stand in who you really are and recognize even if I ever were persecuted they have no power really so I'm gonna

go back even in time and give myself power when I was burned at the stake or hung or mistreated or made into a slave I'm gonna go back in time and tell myself I'm sorry that we experienced that but I'm giving you light that you forgot even back then feel this light feel immune to all that those people ever did to you rather than just anchor more hatred or hurt about it like some people do light give yourself light even if you were a my old slave give her him light say I'm here with you you're allowed to pass

through time I'm here with you and guess what look behind me they're shining ones standing with me let that person that man woman the one burning at the stake or wherever they are show them they're not alone tell them die well not believing in any of this moments after the persecutions you're going to awaken to a whole new level of who you are rather than merely reincarnate with the hurt over this experience so let's give them rebirth let's give them a new chance I love you tell them and there's a lot of love

standing here with me Christ consciousness itself is here with us giving you all the strength you need all the courage but also the guidance to know if you're born again today the guidance to know where you're led tomorrow to bring your light to shine your light to bring your lantern trust and believe in this and spend just a half a minute more letting the truth of this download you don't have to try to figure out or discern who you're talking to what's talking what they're saying just try instead feeling it let it

download to you and then become aware of all the other people in the room doing the same thing and imagine because it's true people all around the planet like watching us are participating in this try to see guys we have a spiritual tribe it's not better than anyone in the big picture it's not better than it it's just that we chose to be awake we chose to do light work and that's honorable so I'm grateful that I'm making healthy choices I'm grateful that I probably played a role in the past and I'm grateful that you're all with me we're

saying that to all the other beings doing this I'm so grateful you're all here with me you give me support you give me something to feel like there's I'm not alone in this so feel that gratitude and visualize how cool it is it's as though all of us shed the body and we're all beings of light now and it brings up feelings like thank you it brings up feelings like yes it brings up feelings like there you are all kinds of wonderful insights and then just gradually slowly but gradually stretching out acknowledging this is

permanent in my consciousness this isn't something we talked about and it's gone meditated and gone this is permanently in me as me I'm part of something very powerful very unique and I'm grateful that I'm part of that
