Truth Versus Falsehoood
Transcript
so yesterday I was talking to one of the chaplains and that kind of certain conversation came up and they were saying you know amongst other things we were discussing they said last night they were saying you know one main reason that I come to unity of Sedona is that you are somebody who was teaching that God comes first and that may seem like a no-brainer or it may seem like a complete revelation even if you think you know what it means to live it is another story so god first in all things in all things that means if you think
you're lacking something it's okay to believe you're lacking something and shaming ourselves isn't gonna do us any good but let's also take a moment to step back and say wait God first what is the presence of God how does God deal with what would God teach me to do in moments of lack and I've taught for so many years it's not get me out of this because people's prayers are typically get me out of this mess prayers are and it sounds so irreverent which is okay because I'm pretty
irreverent but it sounds irreverent when people pray it sounds irreverent for me to say that when people pray it's almost always selfish it's getting me out of this mess get me more of this or that or whatever almost nobody has prayed in a way that says be with me while I go through this it's getting me out of this so we're living a life of falsehood absolute falsehood so I want to share this idea of truth and falsehood the difference because they're different you know people even say the truth you know
and Sedona is a very popular place for learning coming in and there's so many truths here people even say I love Sedona there's so many truths which is exactly the problem lowercase T you know lowercase T the truths and something thank God something in me always taught me I felt in me I actually don't want to know the truths I don't want to know them the mundane versions I want to know the truth capital T now that doesn't mean my truth versus your truth because that's still truths how can I know the truth of God
and the truth of God isn't comparing information whose truths you know are more accurate the truth of God doesn't dispute anything the truth of God is absolute conviction knowing love only love is only peace is only joy is only abundances so when we're living in I want to create more prosperity and so on which is a great thing to do you're starting to descend into truths and then of course there's lower than that false but our goal is not to just go from our opinion of false to our opinion of true there's something else
the truth the truth of God and again it's not competing with information one against another because that's back to duality to know the truth of God is almost like saying you know what I want a spiritual lobotomy take out of my mind all desire to argue points with people to argue rights or in false and true this and that nothing of what's better and my dad can beat up your dad and you know my God's better than your God and all these silly silly ways of behaving so I've always had this feeling you know
studying anything you know the truth I mean I'd rather just be guided in what the truth is rather than developing a truth to argue with somebody else's truth which is we call religion today well it's you know it is kind of right so one of the things we do when we're learning the truth and and again falsehood capital-t truth way up here part of God if there's nothing wrong with fine-tuning lesser truths because you will go from falsehood truth is before eventually the truth but there's some easy tricks to learning
what is the truth one of them is look for the common love between all the little truths that will help you get there as soon as you don't dispute and separate them and fight them oh okay there's an old saying you know that if you took all the teachers of various traditions even philosophers brought them in the same room you would find that they agree on the main common points of reality and consciousness and that's closer to the truth is what I'm saying it doesn't mean you have to study everything but I'm just saying in even
in life even when you mediate an argument argument between two people you're looking for something beyond what their heads are saying and that's actually good mediation it's almost like a channeled form of counseling what is beyond what they're saying what is beyond what they're thinking oh and and you're starting to lock into that person's heart that person's heart and then words start coming to you that start leaving them these two people together that seems so separate and they
said you know wow that's amazing that's brilliant but it's not a technique I could I personally can teach some of those techniques but if you don't love people the techniques will only take you so far when you love people it helps inspire you and open you to knowing what they need to hear at any given moment but it's not like a fancy technique the techniques you can teach a bit of but again they would run into something a wall of some sort if they don't actually feel a sincere desire to help people the
great Edgar Cayce why did he have his gifts various reasons those were not coincidental but one of the main reasons it was there was there was there were technique things there were linear things about his skills you know how did he know how to channel how did he know how to detach from his ego all these wonderful things those are things he learned over lifetimes but none of those would have happened certainly nowhere near his accuracy level and so on had he not had one extra thing his prayers to want to help
people the heart has to be part of it or it's just another thing of this world so whether you're an architect or a counselor or whatever we do all those things can be brought to an entirely different level when we want to when we truly sincerely want to know a greater truth of life you know there's nothing that needs to be excluded from the truth of God again you can be you know a stay-at-home partner you can be a you know a maid you can be an architect a doctor whatever we do there still a way to say and how can I do this in the best
way possible even if you don't interact with people and all you're doing is cleaning a house you can actually channel within yourself the most efficient ways to do that ways that you can sing the best music to play while you dance around cleaning people's houses and when they walk in later they go you know it's almost like you cleaned it in more ways than one I did I totally did man you should have seen when I was scrubbing those floors and so on I was thinking about your ex scrub those people right out of your
hair you know like you know I'm doing spiritual smudging you know in my housekeeping you know everything we do can be brought to another level I really believe that and we find that the more we desire to connect with God in what God really is it really does affect everything we do in the early stages it'll only affect what you want it to affect and then you'll start becoming in a positive way almost addicted to it going you know I should let this affect some other areas but at first we we tend like for example spiritual teachers are
easily going to look like they connect with God when they're teaching but often as soon as they step off the stage completely different people that write the books sweet loving oneness God namaste you know and they don't care a thing about other people they're writing the book because they want to make money or whatever nothing wrong with making money but if that's your goal then that's your goal but as we learn to surrender the greater the truth of God it pours down and gives me more truths then
falsehood falsehoods truths are first truths are going to come to me and eventually more and what the truth but you'll never have a complete 100 percent 24/7 ability to know the truth while you're in the illusion if you try to you're gonna create inner conflict because this world is constantly telling you with every one of your senses that you're not in Kansas anymore Dorothy something's wrong so you're going to say oh no the truth of God love oneness prosperity wait let me look at my
checkbook oh you know wait what happened to oneness and prosperity you know peace and love and Wow bitching you know we're just so cool everything's just peace and love and and flower power and then you have a partnership it just drives you nuts this stuff gets tossed so easily it's better for us to not try to force that sense of oneness on a world that doesn't want it it's better to just become that oneness that's it to the best of your ability to be and live that oneness not to enforce
it on a world that doesn't want it now when I say a world that doesn't when I'm talking about the ego based in everybody the ego based self and the global version of that so one thing that happens for a teacher and I think for any of us is the more we start identifying and teaching and sharing the truths or the truth of God but truth or truths the more we do that it's inevitable it's going to expose falsehoods so that's why when you start growing spiritually you start questioning things and it's why Jesus
says in A Course in Miracles one of the meanings behind ye must be as children he says in the New Testament they're one of the reasons and meanings behind that is you have to learn to question things be like a child who says why is that hmm you know mommy's sad why mommy you know and if the child is young it's amazing why mommy mommy always tell me to be happy yeah but but mommy's got an issue not getting a raise at work what is a raise well money what is money behind that child is not naivete behind the child is
behind that child see mommy why why does that money what is money why does it bother you well it's this honey pieces of paper mommy why would you be so insane that you would allow a piece of paper to make you upset you know behind that child's questions ours are them there's a bigger significance well I thought you said you believe in God I do but the paper's more powerful than God really you know because that's what you're saying when you demonstrate mommy's having a bad day why because daddy doesn't love her
anymore but but you taught me to love myself didn't you mommy well yeah but that's different when you become older you become more needy you know like what excuse do you have to live such contradiction anyway so you'll start to see through the falsehoods you know like like for me as a teacher sometimes I've done little tirades I call them where where I just kind of get in the mood you know to say guys what's up with this so much you know hypocrisy that goes on in the world there's people that wear
namaste shirts and then they go to political rallies you know namaste the divine in me honors the divine it no it doesn't when you not when you're saying the other people are messed up it's not that's not living namaste there's people who have these you know Buddhist mala beads as they down a six-pack it doesn't matter that Buddha said don't get addicted to alcohol or whatever else oh well we're ignoring that because I really feel the presence of Buddha the more buzzed I get no you're not you're
actually not feeling the presence of Buddha oh you don't understand it man you know it okay you're right I'm just messed up so you think you you will learn to see through the Epocrates don't let that they don't ever think that's your goal to just walk around exposing everybody somebody that's not your goal you just start to see it like the child don't you know the classic I've brought it up so many times the child and the fable the Emperor is naked that's all you're really doing and it's
beautiful I think it's a great natural part but then you start going you know things just don't have as much importance anymore which is really beautiful Buddha had that happen and everybody took that made a religion of him saying stuff's not important so they go okay mustn't have anything I'll shave my hat I'll wear one garment this and that in the other that was a phase he was going through and it's a phase you and I go through as we wake up we start to go you know the stuff I put
importance on is it really that important you're gonna be tempted then to get away from it all but you don't have to Mystics did it back away from everything the world's an illusion show how spiritual you are by not involving yourself in the world detachment we did to talk about that a few weeks ago no it's non-attachment not detachment not attachment so it's just their face as we go through but it is a great one to go through this thing where you go god I just feel like I don't even need a
relationship you know and you'll have always some insane person telling you oh you have to have a partnership you're not complete unless you have a partnership Oh spoken like a truly incomplete person you'll feel like you're insane book title of mine you're not going crazy you're just waking up and the people that are crazy you're gonna try to talk you back you know to into going back into being crazy why cuz misery loves company but you're waking up so if you've noticed any signs and
symptoms of you not feeling as invested why why am I not obsessed about a career you know like like for me personally people you know what I I mean I I was a bit scared coming out of high high school graduation day I was in my mind I'm like this is not good I have no idea what I'm gonna do and people are at the graduation you know telling me you know what you ought to do and in there even like in a movie there's those people going you know we have a position open over at my corporation I'm like you
know I hope it gets filled soon by someone else because I did not I could not understand and relate to the things of this world unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it was unfortunate because it was terrifying for a kid to say well what am I gonna do and you know people are telling you about jobs and how much those jobs pay we can get you a job here you know what you need to you do this and then you get a job and they're all paying you know this and that and I'm like I would like to be a florist that's
what I thought you know you know people that you're not a florist dude you're not of florists wouldn't that be cool flowers sent color you know and and that that was my heart and then that's not the only thing but that's one of the things that could come up with so I you know I you know go to floral shops I'm just looking a bouquet for my mother you know just any excuse to kind of look and see what those are like talk to the the people that own it know so how long have you owned a floral shop because I
would like to be a florist man you know and and they you know you I would just find there's no you know probably wouldn't be your thing and it's it's it involves things you don't know or understand and so that's gone and what else might I want to do my point is I wanted to help people cotton and I love color and you know flowers are so it's like wow I wanted to help people so it was terrifying this idea was terrifying because there's a greater truth it would have been a falsehood to
take a job that isn't me but the world wasn't supporting you know what you need truth who are you because you can't know truth without knowing who you are it becomes an external thing then oh look there's a truth over here the truth is something that reveals who we are the real the real original word knowledge or the real word education they actually are rooted in core words that for you to remember something not for you to add data it was really about remembering so the ultimate thing to remember is who we are know the ultimate
then thing is to remember who God is no no those are the same so the ultimate thing is for me to Remember Who I am how do I get a job how do I get a job if I don't know who I am so now it's a doing and it's a getting and it's part of the world of illusion the separated pieces that we're trying to assemble in this world and then we realize I just what is the truth I want to know the truth of who I am that's what you're really saying I want a career what you're really saying is I want to know
who I am and then your soul's purpose would naturally be there I want to partnerships that's perfect what you really want is to know who you are and then a partnership to reflect who you are do you really want to sign on I mean I'm gonna go to a desperate hookups comm site and I'm gonna type in you know really are you gonna order up a relationship based on let's see the profile I don't know who I am or what I'm about completely lost in consciousness send you know if you really think about it what you're really
looking for you being the highest you can be and then attracting someone that can match that highness that's ultimately if we're really honest what we would hope for but you can't get the one without the other I've written books on relationships and people love them love them love them that's fantastic but if there's one consistent thing that people would not like and said have told me that they have a challenge with in a relationships book I wrote is that it mentions God why do you talk about God in your
relationships book can't you just talk about hooking up you know can't you just talk about finding your one and only no I I can and there there are moments there are moments when I just go Michael could you just could you could you just leave out some of the spiritual so then it appeals more to the mainstream you know you'll get an agent that'll say why do you have that god stuff in there take that out and this will be a million-seller you know I guess cuz I'd rather it sell to 10,000 sincere
people than a million lunatics you know I know that sounds rude but so I want the truth I don't want any illusions I don't want falsehoods truth so I look in my heart and I see I can't do that and we all have that place to be able to look in our hearts in that place to say what am I really about so I can't write a book that's gonna fit the illusions well you'll sell more I'll sell more illusions and and again as a human being it will hit me or you or in sometimes why don't you just try a little just
like a drug dealer just try a little can't hurt you it can will become more addicted to some form of illusion if I just fudge a little bit what if I'm a musician and they tell me just you know and all the musicians who have hard to have their hearts broken in pop stars rock stars who are told right I yet and there might be actually like lose their minds trying to write a hint and mind you that's okay because companies they want money I understand that's where they're at but I'm saying the set the
artists this sensitive artist can't easily sell himself out without it taking a toll and the true the truth is that's true for all of us our spiritual selves your soul is too sensitive for you to be able to continue you know bargaining in a way so of course in miracles' explains to us and at the end of the bible saying thou shalt not have false gods a Course in Miracles is trying to say to us you guys are exhausted if you really tuned into it there's a part of you that prays for death so that you can just rest for
a moment you know and why are you so exhausted because you keep bargaining yourself away because you're not honoring who you really are and that's exhausting it's exhausting for you to look for love in all the wrong places it's exhausting to another job that you don't love it really doesn't make when I had little ones you know children I I kind of told them you know grades grades and that sort of thing hey guys here's the school scoop you know daddy you know we got AIDS we got B's report
cuts and finally I said here here's the scoop grades here's the rule if you're asking my opinion I want you to be happy happy and getting C's to me is more than then more important than A's and being unhappy and that's just conveying a general theme for me happiness first the external stuff doesn't matter now if you get a's and you're happy great but happiness comes first so how can i be happy if i keep accepting jobs that aren't me oh but they pay really well that's that's to a to a certain degree
that's prostituting yourself it's bargaining yourself away your integrity and oh that's okay because i'm just gonna do it for a few years you become addicted to your patterns the saying first you form habits and then your habits form you and so it becomes an ongoing thing before you know it before you know it your life has changed because you allowed a little something just like when you're navigating something when you're navigating a car a slight turn of the wheel one thirty second 64th of an inch to the right stay
with that long enough and you're off the road the most micro level of a of a decision you make in your life can become ruinous to everything you are because it happens so insidiously or so gradually or so casually under the table behind the curtains etc that before you know it that's where you're at and then you look back and think god I would have rather have done things different well rather than being a person who says boy as I look back I'd rather do things different why not start now at the
things you'll say eventually I wish I hadn't done that not do it why not just say you know you don't have to go and quit your jobs tomorrow but I'm saying what is what am i involved in that isn't really me and maybe think about micro adjustments for an for the better why not think about things you'll set into motion in a bigger way six months from now but put a deadline on things that aren't you to live the truth again you know god I wish I just knew the truth I wish God gave me messages guidance on what it wanted me
to do it does what is God what it named a word that synonymous with God love peace joy great you want to know what God wants you to do anything that resonates with love peace joy if you're doing something that doesn't resonate generally speaking there are exceptions because sometimes you need to do a change in your life and it's not always easy doesn't mean it's not from God but generally what you're doing if it resonates with joy not not stimulation joy peace like a tranquility like Oh
expansive energy prosperity abundance then you're probably doing God's will everybody makes this complicated so they have an excuse to not be doing what they know to be true it is really that easy oh but my relationship man it's way off course from peace and joy okay put a deadline on it you know before you run that barge into a you know mountainside you know a cliff or whatever in the ocean before it hit so how about just recognize we're on a negative course and talk to partner and say look we're gonna
steer towards couples counseling and it's really kind of cool you know it's scary because they might say no that's great cuz I'll be done sooner I'd rather be done and sane than to continue in the insanity insanity is listening to the illusions of this world all those who tell you of God so many things in this world you know you know what you need you need some peyote you know what you need here a drink you know what's peyote mescaline man it's just gonna give you really great trips
but it's still outside yourself the stuff you're using is outside yourself it could be goals of I'm gonna be a CEO it's still something outside yourself so to know truths versus falsehoods it's very simple really anytime you think something outside of you has power over you you're already going in the direction of falsehood it's a good general rule okay good general rule now what if a book gives me a lot of spiritual insights is that an illusion if you worship the book if you think I can't get spiritual
without the book I've gotta keep it you know in my shirt and you make it a worshipful kind of thing you're off but what you can do is learn from the book and recognize it's so great that God speaks to me all through the day even through that book it's a vessel it's a vehicle it's a channel that's all the saying God is my source the book is a resource that's all as long as you recognize where the real power is you can come to a talk like this and it's not necessarily you using something
outside as long as you recognize this guy isn't special or magic all I'm doing is representing or symbolizing something that is within yourself and you go you know not like oh that guy is amazing you know he I've got to listen to him all the time in fact I think I'm gonna not gonna sort of move in no you'll hate me like two minutes later you'll be like Michael what's with this refrigerator this doesn't have that I want doesn't have what I want you know what's with the decor you know we got to do
some more of this you'll you'll end up judging anybody you know okay me anybody what you need to recognize is this this is good this is truth speaking to me and it's between God and I leave me out of it it's between you and God thank you Michael for being the channel that's all that's great as long as you can track it back to you and God then you're doing pretty well but the same is true romantically not I can't live if living is without them what it is is Wow I really enjoy sharing
my path with that person if they represent positive things congratulate yourself for attracting someone mirroring your positives it doesn't really negate our role thank us for the role we played that's all Jesus puts it respect us the teachers the partners respect your children respect and appreciate what good we've brought to you and learn from the negatives we bring to you but it's still you at the end of the sentence and at the end of the day what did I learn from this what can I learn from this I'm
awakening it's very important to recognize there's only one of us here the Sufi saying you know that person I like that person I don't what person there is nobody which person you pointing at them I like them I don't like them okay what do you like about them theirs they have such conviction good job because you have must have that same conviction or admire it you know would be really cool instead of just thinking they have it own it now I don't like that person why what do they bring up in you they're just kind of annoying
you know they they they diss that they or whatever it is they're too addicted whatever it is Oh so let's look at what that brings up in you and clear that up you know on that one and own that one own that one and become it on that one and learn from it both people then have served a purpose thank them don't say thank you for being such a negative person in my life but thank them thank you you know in your mind even in your prayers I got it at the end of the day retire everybody from all the roles they played today retire
your boss who looks like they have the power over you retire them this is the most underrated spiritual tool in our Arsenal as it were on our tool belts the the concept of responsibility if we could own that there is nothing outside ourselves everything starts to change you can't win a lottery that you feel separate from you can't have a partnership that you feel separate from even the concept of intimacy you know I mean you know I taught I I because I believe there's a there's another way Jesus saying and of course in miracles'
there's another way of looking at this I truly believe there's a different way to see and perceive everything we can change our consciousness about every topic work sexuality whatever the topic food dieting health fitness whatever and every topic every topic seems separate because we seem separate so we separated all the topics and now people are trying to get this topic to to come into their I want more fitness I want more this partnership or whatever at the end of the day the truth is none of these
things are separate and I need to change my opinion about them I need to change my opinion about my body oh it's too tall it's too short it's through this it's soon try not to fix it first call upon the only thing that knows how to see your body properly the divine mother the Holy Spirit she asked it to come in and change your perceptions of work I don't need that one because I already know what my work is about I'm gonna be there six more months and I need a retirement I'm gonna do this and that
Ania the thinking trust in the mother and say how would you have me see this there's pollution fix it go ahead and try or ask the mother mother how would you have me see this what about sickness because if you get caught in this world trying to fix any one thing you're going to become exhausted again because it's you against the world and the world has no intention of you winning you can make little adjustments if you speak loud enough long enough you know more politically enough for whatever it is
but those adjustments just bring other problems so what are you going to do what are you going to do about it call upon the mother and all of a sudden all topics start to disappear in terms of their seeming power over us it starts to kind of relax I was trying to change medicine you know because you know the way doctors are I was trying to change the law because you know how lawyers are no how are they falsehood falsehood fossil you know your perceptions are all wrong and then all of a sudden you try and say you know Holy Spirit how would
you have me see law how would you have me see medicine and all of a sudden you feel love for every nurse every doctor every surgeon your your your thoughts change because all that matters starts to show up love it doesn't mean you're saying and you believe in or you want to perpetuate false medicines or whatever that's not the point it's that I won't know what to think or what to do with medicine politics or anything else unless I'm guided unless I'm plugged in if I'm in my separate
mind I can't really do much good separate mind keeps it religion separated separated minds keep people you know separated of every kind even love making people oh I just I'm looking for someone who I can join in that form you know with or someone to make me feel complete or whatever even when you're trying to be physical your bodies can't actually totally meld into a oneness state of bliss the two separate bodies can't no matter what you want to do you have cells that can separate biologically but they don't usually
disappear into each other and bodies don't even even if I hold your hand we never actually connect in case you don't know that my hand is made up of cells which is mostly made up of space so I'm holding space that's all I'm holding my space is holding your space oh no I love the the caress of your hand you don't feel my hand every cell of my hand has an etheric field around it so the most you can touch is my force field oh that's wonderful nice to connect with you without connecting because there's
always something between us I mean truly the truth is disturbing and that's why people typically don't want to hear it or know it you're never really able to disappear where you can disappear even in lovemaking is out of here and deciding to love the person so much that something supernatural starts to happen what happens is your consciousness is shifting into a time warp miracle bubble and it'll feel like what just what was that and that's not gonna come from hot steamy stuff you hear you're supposed to
do it comes from slowing down and connecting okay slow it down and connect who are you you know to be able to to look in another's eyes how are you doing and believe it or not usually you're gonna see my pain body before you see my spiritual body because if you can be safe enough for me to open up and and my breath quiver or a loss channels through me or a sadness or loneliness despair years a broken marriage and all those other parts of me come through because you're holding such a perfect space
that's the beginning of lovemaking it doesn't sound like it people oh yeah that's not what I saw in the movie lies where I got you know I didn't watch you know and these two hot partners were like let's look in each other's eyes and kind of disappear you know that's that's not how it's done in the world of illusion but once you have it experience that you go wow it's it's it's just magical and people forget how to do these things because they'll settle for
the illusion stimulus senses and so on and so on and so on you know and don't get me wrong you're you're you're in this world I understand that we're in this world I'm not saying you should run away from all these things I'm saying we need to change how we perceive them how it's the simplest tool and again it's not abstinence that's the hard way of doing it but it can be done but why don't I recommend that we all just become absent in let's fast more let's do this more than
that because the ratio let's pretend there's only been 10 billion people in history on this planet and trust me it's way greater than that we know because we have almost and now it's eight you know but let's pretend there's only been 10 billion people on this planet five have reached enlightenment that's not a good ratio so and don't don't don't take my number literally but that's about it like billions billions billions and it's it's in the hundreds of billions of
souls that have been on this planet and we're like you know there's a you know like how many can you come up with not a lot you don't go you know there's only been a few that just didn't get it there's a few who did I don't want to be one of the few I don't I don't want to be one of the few that worked lifetime after lifetime to become enlightened and even if I did and even if I have done that I'm here to say there's a shorter route instead of me becoming enlightened
through my own efforts I'm going to just ask the mother show me what it is to be enlightened and she can do it like that she's still gonna ask me you know Michael let's back off on this a little today Michael let's guide you in that today Michael there's a book the ones that just fell off the shelf that's the one I want you to read she's still gonna give you micro adjustments of course but it's not me trying to do it all and those who did work themselves you know and did it eventually it's a handful
only and it took lifetimes of that kind of life that lifestyle the mother is saying if you understood how much I loved you you would realize there's not one of you who can't be transformed in a moment that's that concept in a twinkling of an eye the world will be changed whose world the world yeah but it also means my world in the twinkling of an eye I'm awakened there's no reason to defy ourselves any more and pretend we're something we're not there's nothing greater than a person who who
lives a certain lifestyle it doesn't matter what it is and you can say it's horrible lifestyle somebody that's done horrible thing to themselves or let things be done or did things to others it doesn't matter because when you step out of time into the timelessness of forgiveness and god-consciousness none of that seems to have any bearing anymore when we say lose attachments when we say you know learn to become non-attached it doesn't just mean stuff it means thoughts beliefs opinions memories so God comes our way the divine
mother comes to Bertha so that's the bottom line if I want to become a being of light instead of a person caught up in their senses and so on if I want to be a person of light it doesn't mean you have to like Sturt turn into twinkling a little light and dissipate into the heavens you're still gonna live here you still get to live here you still get to do human things but you do them differently and you start to realize wow I need to have a relationship with God not just partners or myself I need to learn what
love making really means the word love is in there so let me bring love into this moment and if love isn't in this moment let me cry what is not loving out and if my partner's not a safe enough person to do that why am i with them it doesn't make any sense it's not what I would advise to anybody else as a counselor hey I'm gonna give you some advice settle it doesn't make any sense I would say you know it's a glorious thing to have somebody you can trust yeah but my partner I don't have one or
they're not somebody I can trust then trust your counselor trust your sponsor find someone it symbolizes the mother a vessel that can hold space for you and as you do that the wound itself can come through that's lovemaking not in the you know one sense but in the grandest sense we're making a space creating a space of love thank you for being there for me you'll have as much gratitude for a sponsor a counselor someone who holds space a chaplain you know a practitioner and science of mind groups you'll have
as much love for a person who can hold space there as you would for a partner lover in a way it's almost more profound in many ways it's more profound so we realized you know I'm ready I want to know the truth of God not many truths although I'll go through the many truths even when I go through many truths please be careful of that wording oh I just believe in many truths a lot of us have said that I just think there's many truths many paths yeah you know I guess that's a good start if that's where you want to be but
you realize all those paths start narrowing into highways narrow into the direct connection I call it the elevator to God as we've said you know many times and Bayer helped create some bumper stickers along those lines go vertical connect stop talking horizontal you know what's dead death you know what's horizontal dead people get vertical you know show up I don't know where these things come from some guys but you know there's just a countless number of things that we can get caught up in in
this world and all I'm saying is let's you know let's awaken from the dream let's start waking up so I want to become my light self not my dense self well the simple way to do that if you're using a metaphor of bodies this is my illusionary body you know what I want is my light body who's gonna help me birth that well you know what's good for birthing mothers call on the mother the Holy Spirit of God come to me be with me she birthed this new self but if you're going to ask for that be careful what
you ask for if you're gonna ask to be birthing a new self will you take care of the child that what's just birthed I want to have a baby that I won't take care of that doesn't make sense I want to have a baby I want to take care of it I want to be you know have a relationship with it that's what you need to do with the child inside the soul I want the divine mother to birth and new me and I'm gonna do my best not obsessively not guilty and shaming myself but I'm gonna do my best have
that new self birthed but then I'm gonna feed it I'm gonna give it water I'm gonna change it I'm gonna take care of it keep it from harm as best I can again not obsessively and all that but I'm gonna take good care of it and that's what we're looking for in this world read things that feed your soul it's a metaphor the bay the child is supposed to be taken care of read things that feed your soul have relationships can conversations that feed this soul things that terrify you things that make
you feel yucky things that make you you know mentally emotionally or physically kind of contract might not be right for the baby so you take care of that child and you say okay mother what would you have me do this is the most effective efficient way to birth this Christ self you know and and we realize there's so many areas of my life I'm gonna change but go easy only do as many as you're willing to support in the change if you give yourself a big agenda okay I heard this talk got to change a lot of things
and you give yourself too much of a list the odds are you're not going to do them all when you don't do them you're gonna shame yourself and then you're gonna blow out all of them just change what you're willing to change but think about it make a little list take a little self inventory what isn't mirroring the truth of God what doesn't feel right for me even when it comes to spiritual teachers even when it comes to you know the word God when I started a while ago even the word God I mean guys
I'm a spiritual teacher and if there's one thing that strangely enough has has irritated the students like people of Sedona teachers and students that around Sedona did get irritated with my teachings they get really turned off by this god thing why does he talk about God why didn't you just talk about we are God let's go up in there you know red rocks and be God or whatever well what's with this Michael guy in relationship with God that's old school no old school's relationship with
religion and I understand their you know dis disregard of religion and their dissing religion I get that I understand the history of that but there's something more waiting relationship with God is how you nurture and feed everything to a new level and people kind of walked away from this so when I came here I was like you know we're gonna do this god thing and the awakening of Christ consciousness and I thought you know if they don't dig it that's fine you know I'll just do because that's what
I'm about and I was one at one of the first and greatest things I've ever experienced in Sedona that I didn't expect was the number of people that said thank you this god thing that's we've been looking forward I mean honest to god I mean I was like wow you guys really get yes yes there are so many groups in Sedona we worship UFOs and Bigfoot and everything but but not God so thank you for bringing God back in and I mean honest I was just like wow thank you you know that they got that because that's the main gist of what I'm
teaching God and God in us not not religion but the God in us is known as the Christ self change the word if you need the I am present whatever but god and the god self that's my first relationship and that's my intention to nurture that relationship and that's where it's at and so many people said thank you but at the same time I've tried to explain and that could be brought into everything it's brought into to diet and some people get irritated and meet what I've talked about that bring it into intimate
relations and so it's interesting because the first wave of people that got turned off to me or unity of Cydonia at all the first wave were those who wanted the job that I was given them and/or their students got ticked off they left that was the first wave of people out second wave was people that said this guy talks about intimacy sacred sexuality you know to the Tantra so there was a wave of them that left because that was like too weird for them you know you know which makes them a good date so the third I don't know I
don't know where they went but don't hang out there the third group the third group again the second group he's talking about secret sixth row the third group is he won't allow that sort of thing he says no to that sort of thing because there was a large contingent in Sedona of people that were you know involved in some released you know strong tantric groups so they were coming here and they thought there's a Tantra teacher he's written look he's clearly gonna be all everybody's gonna just be making out and
and I told them all knock it off so the religious people didn't like because I said you know there's more the people that wanted more didn't like me because I said you know back off so it's like you people you need to stop hooking up every day with different you know and and and with such carelessness what about love oh no we don't like that word you know we like to just be whatever well you be oh you know so that's go ahead and then the opposite group was like you know the real hyper-religious
so these guys are going one were you extreme these are another and I go to them you guys relax back off and find love and and integrity within that you share with others you guys need to have sex you know or whatever like so so both extremes of groups they yeah they split now as a teacher as a human being and as a teacher that was a hard thing because I'm like wow you know I didn't I didn't mean to turn you off in a sense right but I know the truth and that it was right to teach this Center metal path
I'm sorry this doesn't like me that doesn't like me but this is the right thing to do so in our lives you'll know what's right you're gonna lose some people some of its going to look insane cuz it's like how could I be that you guys don't like me cuz I'm that but if I was that they would like me and they don't like me either you're gonna have you can't you know the saying you can please some of the people some of the time but not all the people all the time so even in your pursuit of
spirituality and being born into a new level of consciousness there are going to be you know casualties so to speak if you're purposefully intending to hurt people trying to act like you're better than them you're in the wrong you're in the illusion but if it happens because you're just being true to yourself there's no more reason to care carry that or bear the the guilt or shame unless you're doing it on purpose it's not your fault some people just aren't going to dig that and I'm very grateful
that enough people after these few and these view split that there's enough people to say Wow what is this energy you see I could have kept talking as though I was you know cuz I could have I could have simultaneously played into them just enough and them into just enough for them to keep them here but I just didn't feel called to do that so this middle path they get it or they don't so they leave and they leave and they're replaced with you they're replaced with people that that verbally they they're
getting something but you understand there's an energy guys that was built by me standing by that principle right and so what do you think is going to happen in your life when you stand by that principle and again it doesn't always feel like that's the direction it's going to go as a human being you go well Michael was talking about this great karma that comes from being true to yourself and the energy and twinkles and fairies and angels oh no it doesn't always feel like that there's moments
when you're you know being shot at you know all the stuff that comes out you know people just flinging stuff at you and you'll and you'll have moments did I do the right thing maybe I went this too far in that too far ask the mother help me help me mother be with me don't be afraid and don't be ashamed and don't apologize that God comes first that's the truth and don't be ashamed or apologize that you also believe in nurturing your God / Christ self and as I'm closing I'll
say this much without going into details there's there are some Gnostic Gospels or lost books of the Bible some people call books that were either not discovered in time to be considered for the Bible or they're books that were considered and not allowed because they were a little too mystical some are Old Testament Torah related some are new testament related but some of them that are out there there are some really deep magnificent teachings these Gnostic teachings now even the Gnostics which are like the new ages of the ancient
times they are they're like the New Agers and those even they got infiltrated by ego and wrote some things that were a little off but generally like you and I they have the new the new thought the new age of the time and there are some teachings where we find these these scrolls these Gospels where Jesus is sitting with his apostles after his crucifixion and resurrection he's sitting with the apostles giving them teachings which we hear about in the New Testament slightly but there are Gospels that are written that are the teachings
that he gave them and in particular he sat with Mary Magdalene and he sat with mother Mary and John and a few others and they're saying teach us and so he starts downloading teachings and some of these are recorded I'll share more about it someday but he starts downloading these teachings but what's amazing to me one of the most fascinating things is he starts talking about how these twelve elders I'm paraphrasing so much control the universe think from God to the 12 hours like the zodiac and archetypes of
gods goddesses affecting the universe and he's talking about how but the separated ones down here on earth don't get that they don't get the direct teachings they get lost they get confused and then they start listening to man's 12 meaning almost like the 12 archetypes twisted by the ego-self but what's really cool is he says it was I think Magdalene that was asking him at this one point she says but what do you mean by the twelve in the you know so on and she's asking him and he says
basically says it's it's like the zodiac and again I'm paraphrasing it's like the zodiac he said it has always affected mankind and she says but why have why have some of the teachers of the old told people they started telling people don't listen to fortune tellers don't listen to the zodiac and all that he didn't condemn it like people think he said I have actually gone and unplugged one-third of the effectiveness of the zodiac on people now this isn't a wise individual this Jesus guy this is the
Christ who was given the keys to the universe to unplug all the power of fortune-telling psychic abilities zodiac and all I unplugged it she says why would you unplug the power he says so people would start going to God get back to God he says I still left some of the power there you know to actually so he's saying I confounded so that the astrologers then when they Rica's at that time they could be so dead on because it was fact it was the truth in fact but he says but but I don't want to lose people and they're there even if
they believe in that it's accurate it is accurate but I want them to go directly home I want them to go back to God so I've unplugged some of the powers so that when they do readings it won't always be act as accurate as it once was in ancient times why so that they'll say why they'll call out to something else now again he's not dissing astrology because he even says but the effectiveness and the accuracy I still left it in there well who's going to find how to make it accurate go to it
with the right intention if you go to the Stars and the charts and whatever to meet God you'll meet God if you go because you want the Stars to tell you what to be you go ahead good luck some days accurate some days not pretty weird huh pretty cool but remember his point I unplugged what was once the this power that was taught by the Ancients this is accurate stuff symbolism astrology it's all accurate and people were like almost worshipping it at different times different cultures they weren't told
don't listen to this and that the other like we hear in the Bible and fundamental traditions tell us it was that you made it into your God it was supposed to just be the email from God read the email don't worship the dang thing it's who wrote you the email that matters and so go ahead and get your read and get your but ask God to help you and I've always told leaders and people I've taught to do reading ask ask for God ask for the Holy Spirit to come through these things ask to get the highest guidance ask even for the
question the right wording of your questions if you're asking questions God first in all things please take a few centering breaths [Music] [Applause] just set aside haul stuff anything you heard that you didn't agree with or that didn't fill your heart your soul inspire you let it pass that's a responsible empowered way of dealing with things that don't resonate it's not it's why it's simple if I or
anyone else says something does something you don't like and you use it to not like them it's actually not what they did that's as important as you using it to keep distanced from a person and that's what a judgement is separation so simply hear it and let it go it could be you didn't get it it could be you didn't get it yet it could be he was off it could be it doesn't work for me and let it go but then did you hear anything at all that made sense to you anything a comment a joke a deep
statement a connecting thing for you in your psyche a relationship point just let your mind float through the talk today and find pieces that resonate and it could be many but but also just for now isolate a few gems and then soak them in own that you got something from them own that they're meaningful and then forget that it was a guy standing up here telling you these things imagine that this was you and God having a conversation and that on some
level your soul was asking for that information either an answer to a question and answer to an issue or whatever your soul was asking and God answered and then simply Marvel in the meanings to you the feelings it conveys as well as the feeling of what if God really did show up and answer me today Marvel in that concept I am having a relationship with God it spoke to me prophets of old saying the Lord God spoke to me and there was a host of angels around me those are the people in the room there's all these other beings
hearing guidance from God that's those are angels and even if people are watching online by themselves there's no spy yourself and there's no distance you're in this room with us too I'm sharing this experience where God was speaking to me there were angels all around there was a feeling of tranquility almost like I had died and gone to heaven and then came back to talk about it that's what we're experiencing a part of me did die today as soon as I heard something new that I wanted to absorb as my reality
it basically tossed out or negated something that was no longer true for me you see someone later and they say how's your day you can honestly say I died and went to heaven what do you mean you mean you saw angels oh my god lots of them what do they look like different colors they some looked male some looked female was amazing did you did you meet God or some master yeah did it speak absolutely what did it tell you and you tell him your truth it told me love dot dot dot it told me truth did it feed your head no it actually fed my
soul was it about memorizing details and data no it changed my feelings I experienced healing hope a part of me died you mean your body no even better old beliefs limiting beliefs and my limiting beliefs do affect my body so the cause of my death even died I experienced friendship the angels around me didn't feel like things that to worship they felt like friends it felt like I could ask any one of the Angels that I saw in this glorious temple that I could ask any one of those angels would you put your hand on my
heart and they would have if I would have said put your hands on my shoulders they would have if I would have said to the angel could you hug me it would it wrapped its wings around me some of the angels were crying because of the old going and the new being felt unconditional love that's what Heaven felt like today now lastly and most importantly is having a place we went after we died today no no we have to bring it home we have to bring it right back here so we don't go to the other side wishing we could stay there we go
to the other side which is within us grab hold of it and bring it into our daily lives I guarantee I'm going to be different today I hope it lasts the rest of my life but I know that sometimes I forget I'll forgive myself in advance for the times I forget but when I go home the shows i watch will be different they don't have to be all perfect holy movies but I will see them differently all my relations all my conversations as holy as possible I can still raise my voice in be firm I can speak softly
depends on what's the greatest good in the moment but what I do know is the mother it is guiding me and I give thanks and so it is
