WEBVTT 1 00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:27.000 Weird thing that happened in the Weird Weird Welcome to 2 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.839 Bledsoe said, So, everybody, I finally feel like I'm getting 3 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:33.520 back into the swing of things. It's been a crazy 4 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.280 year for me after and Alex too, you know, with 5 00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:38.640 his son being born in December, and then as you 6 00:00:38.640 --> 00:00:40.399 guys already know, I'm not gonna hover on this, but 7 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:42.240 like the baby was just born a couple of months ago, 8 00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:45.079 and then to make things worse, we had, you know, 9 00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:50.119 my aunt's health took a rapid decline and she did 10 00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:52.880 officially pass away when I was in California, so that 11 00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.479 was really tough. We just had her funeral. It's a 12 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:59.679 beautiful service, and it feels yet again like stepping into 13 00:01:00.159 --> 00:01:03.000 a new life and trying to pick up the pieces 14 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:08.400 and move forward. Can I say your recent development, Can 15 00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:12.719 we talk about that the big one? Alex quit his job. 16 00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.159 It wasn't a rage quit. It was a very peaceful 17 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.280 separation quit. It just got to the point to where 18 00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:23.519 he had to choose between that or this, and he 19 00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:28.239 chose this. So we're going to we're looking forward to that. 20 00:01:28.280 --> 00:01:30.760 We're really looking forward to that. So he was kind 21 00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.040 enough to give his boss three weeks instead of two, 22 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:38.239 so we're just kind of walking through those motions until 23 00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:40.319 he is officially phased out of that and then we're 24 00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.079 gonna be totally focused on this. So crazy after five 25 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:46.000 and this is the five year anniversary of the show. 26 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.400 This month, I think it was June twenty ninth of 27 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:52.079 twenty twenty one, was when we put out the first episode, 28 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.040 which was zero, and then I think on June thirtieth 29 00:01:56.040 --> 00:01:59.319 we put out episode one. So that's cool. That's really 30 00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.359 interesting that almost exactly five years later, you're like, all right, 31 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.400 I quit, I'm gonna go do this follow my dream. 32 00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:08.159 So I hope that you guys have enjoyed watching that 33 00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.479 play out over the last five years or however long 34 00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.560 you've been watching, and you know it's time. It's time 35 00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:18.120 for us to really take this serious. And I forget 36 00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.520 about this a lot, but I do have to remind myself, 37 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.000 even though we're in the little room of my house 38 00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.879 doing this, I still have to remind myself that, like, 39 00:02:28.919 --> 00:02:31.400 we are offering a value to the world, and it's 40 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:34.319 hard to deny, which brings me to my next point, which, 41 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:36.960 you know, I just wanted to talk a little bit 42 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:41.319 about the conference last weekend in California. It's hard to 43 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:43.080 deny when we go to these things and we're around 44 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.199 thousands of people and we hear their testimony about how 45 00:02:46.199 --> 00:02:48.400 they've learned of our family story, or they've heard the show, 46 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:50.400 or they've read Dad's book, or they've seen my sister's 47 00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:52.639 tiktoks or heard an interview my brother did or whatever 48 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.120 any number of this thing that we're doing as a family, 49 00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:58.599 how it's just completely changed their outlook on life and 50 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:02.000 helped them find God. So I do have to remind myself, like, 51 00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.360 we can do this. We got this. There are people 52 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:10.080 who want to see us do this, and you know 53 00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.599 it's it's perfectly aligned. So before I go too far 54 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:16.240 into that, I want to give a quick mention to 55 00:03:18.039 --> 00:03:20.719 and a big thanks to anyone who I supported us 56 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.520 in any way, whether it be through you know, just 57 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:28.400 listening literally just listening, hitting a like button, a subscribe button, 58 00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:34.039 a follow whatever, any tier of our Patreon support, or 59 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:36.479 you know, buying our merchandise. All of these things help 60 00:03:37.199 --> 00:03:40.639 to where Alex and I can continue to do this 61 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.120 and fly across the country and do conferences or hold 62 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:46.800 festivals in our town and not need Alex to go 63 00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:49.000 and you know, nothing wrong with this, but you know, 64 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.439 fix boats and then come do this an hour a week. 65 00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.919 Now we can because of you know, every level of 66 00:03:55.919 --> 00:03:58.439 support that we get. It enables us to keep going forward. 67 00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.520 But I want to give a special mention to supporters 68 00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.120 that are light being tier. We have two individuals who 69 00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:06.919 want to remain anonymous. We have the epersons Chris and 70 00:04:07.039 --> 00:04:11.360 Danielle Eperson. We have Derek Longoria, and then last but 71 00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:14.080 not least, we have my man Brian Lynch. Thank you 72 00:04:14.120 --> 00:04:16.759 guys for your support. But then again, I want to 73 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:19.040 give a thank you to everyone who supports us in 74 00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:25.319 any way possible. So this is a topical episode, so 75 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:27.000 I'm not going to hover on this long. But I 76 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:28.959 thought it was kind of timely and I just wanted 77 00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.399 to take a mention of the SkyWatch at the contact 78 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.439 in the Desert conference. It was a really good time, 79 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.600 although it was hard because my aunt passed away while 80 00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:40.959 I was there. I unfortunately had to suppress it and 81 00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:43.480 just kind of act like everything was normal, which sucked, 82 00:04:44.759 --> 00:04:46.839 and you know, we had the funeral right after I 83 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:53.399 got home. But I will say that the SkyWatch was fantastic. 84 00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:58.480 It was truly mind blowing, and it felt like there 85 00:04:58.519 --> 00:05:00.120 was a big crowd of people. There are not not 86 00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.040 in the sense that there was a crowd. There was 87 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.399 on thy to twelve hundred was our estimate. It was 88 00:05:05.439 --> 00:05:07.560 bigger than last year's, But I mean a crowd is 89 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:09.959 in people I knew, which was really weird because usually 90 00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:11.759 we just go do our thing and all the other 91 00:05:11.759 --> 00:05:13.920 people we know are like conference presenters and they're doing 92 00:05:13.920 --> 00:05:15.800 their own events. But this time there was a whole 93 00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:18.720 Like there was probably like a dozen people that I 94 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:22.600 personally knew that were there with us, and there was 95 00:05:22.639 --> 00:05:25.600 even other people that I'm not that close with but 96 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.480 I met at the conference, like YouTubers and other people 97 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.240 like that that were at our SkyWatch. And there was 98 00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:34.319 even one of the uh, I don't like this word, 99 00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.600 but one of the so called psionic assets, very nice guy. 100 00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.160 He was there and he had equipment and was taking 101 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:43.560 footage and stuff. And like, our SkyWatch turned into this 102 00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:46.720 really big thing where like other presenters and other people 103 00:05:47.199 --> 00:05:52.680 and podcasters and content creators came to our SkyWatch and 104 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:58.240 participated with us. We ran the event and you know, 105 00:05:58.279 --> 00:05:59.959 had the microphone and did the SkyWatch and everything. But 106 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:01.959 it was just cool that they were there. I don't know, 107 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.879 it just felt different. It was a little weird, but 108 00:06:04.959 --> 00:06:09.720 in a good way. So typically if you follow the show, 109 00:06:09.839 --> 00:06:11.879 and if you've seen every episode or at least most 110 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:14.040 of them, you probably have seen the build over the 111 00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:18.399 last few years. How we get really stressed leading up 112 00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:21.639 to the mass SkyWatch events. Where like it started on 113 00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:23.560 the beach years ago, we actually started at the Heart 114 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.839 Festival when you went with my dad and you guys 115 00:06:26.839 --> 00:06:30.959 had a crowd of fifty people. And then the next 116 00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:34.959 event was I think it was the first a Zelja Fest, 117 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:40.759 and we had like maybe like seventy five to eighty people, 118 00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:42.800 and then the next time it was like two hundred, 119 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.120 and that kept scaling up. But when we had these 120 00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:48.240 big crowd skywatches, there was always this anxiety like, oh 121 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:49.839 my god, is it gonna show? Is it gonna show? 122 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.439 Leading up to last year at Contact in the Desert, 123 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.480 where we had basically a thousand people, I mean someone 124 00:06:57.480 --> 00:06:59.319 in our group counted seven to fifty and it kept 125 00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.800 going and he gave a counting, right, But the people 126 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:05.680 working the SkyWatch event last year on behalf of the 127 00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:07.959 conference counted and they said it was a thousand people. 128 00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:10.439 This year it was more right. So last year we 129 00:07:10.439 --> 00:07:16.519 were so nervous and so stressed. And if you see 130 00:07:16.519 --> 00:07:19.040 all the reporting on my dad, if you've seen him 131 00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:22.839 on the news or people talking about him, all the countless, 132 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.759 countless countless videos about us on the internet that are 133 00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:28.120 not made by us, they're like Chris Blitz summons orbs. 134 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:32.399 We don't summon anything. We don't claim to summon anything. 135 00:07:32.839 --> 00:07:35.199 We pray and we ask and we hope they show up, 136 00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:39.360 and that's it. That's the formula. So that's always a 137 00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:41.480 mind when we do these big skywatches and we're like, 138 00:07:41.519 --> 00:07:43.680 oh my god, you know, please show up. We really 139 00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:45.519 need you. And of course they always do. But that 140 00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.839 doesn't mean that we're so arrogant that we know that 141 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.040 we're going to before we've asked them, you know, because 142 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:56.240 it's a relationship. So last year it was very scary. 143 00:07:56.279 --> 00:07:57.959 It was like, oh my god, there's a thousand people. 144 00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.759 This is kind of a big deal. It took a 145 00:07:59.800 --> 00:08:02.759 little while of prayer and kind of setting the attention 146 00:08:02.920 --> 00:08:05.480 for the crowd, and then they they you know, they 147 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.199 started showing about ten minutes in or less this year 148 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.319 at Contact in the Desert SkyWatch with even more people. 149 00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:16.399 We showed up and we got there thirty minutes or 150 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:20.199 so before the SkyWatch scheduled event even started, and it 151 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:22.199 was like boom, there they were. We didn't even have 152 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:23.680 to pray, we didn't have to say anything. They were 153 00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:26.000 just boom boom, boom boom, and they were appearing rapidly 154 00:08:26.759 --> 00:08:31.480 and we're like, okay, that was easy, no stress. And 155 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.080 they didn't stop. I mean, it was like the whole night, 156 00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:35.919 and of course there'd be maybe like a five minute 157 00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.960 break or something, but I mean we skywatched out there 158 00:08:38.960 --> 00:08:41.480 for like two hours, right, it was about two hours 159 00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:42.919 with this crowd of people, at least an hour and 160 00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:45.879 a half, it was. It was two hours. Yeah, alex 161 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.000 is saying two even though you could have just said it. 162 00:08:47.919 --> 00:08:50.440 You know, Sorry, I'm just thinking it was definitely two. 163 00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:53.399 Yeah, there was definitely two right, Yeah, especially with us 164 00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:55.799 getting out there thirty minutes early, right, and it was 165 00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.840 just like boom, boom boom. I would wager we saw 166 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:03.480 over the course of the whole night. My estimate was 167 00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:08.759 anywhere from sixty to eighty orbs at least. And it's 168 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:12.519 so funny because this is kind of what I wanted 169 00:09:12.559 --> 00:09:15.720 to get into is like we didn't even have to pray. 170 00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:19.960 They just started and they just kept appearing. But we 171 00:09:20.200 --> 00:09:21.679 prayed anyway. 172 00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:27.919 And just like in Wisconsin, the prayer acted as a catalyst. Yeah, 173 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.840 and it was very obvious to us there that that 174 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:32.600 was so. 175 00:09:32.120 --> 00:09:34.320 And it responded to the prayer. So we didn't have 176 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.159 to pray, but we did anyway, because as always we're 177 00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:39.600 trying to empower people to learn about this connection and 178 00:09:40.080 --> 00:09:44.279 take it into their own lives. And of course when 179 00:09:44.360 --> 00:09:46.080 Dad said the prayer of the Holy Spirit, you know, 180 00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.039 we get flashes and things like that. But the last 181 00:09:48.039 --> 00:09:50.639 thing I'm gonna say about the SkyWatch, in addition to 182 00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.559 it just being amazing the whole time and the vibe 183 00:09:52.600 --> 00:09:54.720 was high, there wasn't a single heckler like last year 184 00:09:54.799 --> 00:09:56.600 or any of that, the conference was very good about 185 00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:57.919 nipping that in the bud this time. 186 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.679 I would also like to shout out to av guys. Yes, 187 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.039 I mean, phenomenal job all around. 188 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.399 Yeah, really, the whole conference team. They really went to 189 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:08.279 great links to make sure that we were supported and 190 00:10:08.600 --> 00:10:10.720 it was. It was a great time, a fantastic vibe. 191 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:13.639 They really tried to help and this is kind of 192 00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.679 a new thing you know, so it's like, how do 193 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.159 we improve upon this from the last time, and nobody 194 00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.399 really knows what they're doing, none of us. This is 195 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:24.480 a whole new animal, you know, having SkyWatch events with 196 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:27.679 a thousand plus people with sound equipment for everyone to hear, 197 00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.320 and you know, it's just like it's a it's a 198 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.519 new thing, right, So, like, props to them. They did 199 00:10:31.519 --> 00:10:35.559 a great job this year, but nobody ran up and 200 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.799 took the mic or anything like last year. They were 201 00:10:37.960 --> 00:10:39.960 on it, they knew about it, they saw it. Last 202 00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.000 year they banned the the you know, individual responsible and 203 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:45.039 they're like, not happening this time, buddy, we got you. 204 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.480 And you know, it was a peaceful vibe. It was 205 00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:51.720 a totally peaceful vibe. No one was shouting at us. 206 00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:55.240 I kid you not on one because you know, Dad 207 00:10:55.240 --> 00:10:58.720 always praised throughout these things and also like makes jokes 208 00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:00.440 and stuff like that, and it's it's it's just a 209 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:04.039 fun vibe if you really are talking with him while skywatching, right. 210 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:08.360 But one part of the crowd was singing gospel music 211 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:10.759 and the other part of the crowd was singing the 212 00:11:10.799 --> 00:11:13.080 freaking age of Aquarius song and that was funny. He 213 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.039 was like, everybody sing it with me, and of course 214 00:11:15.080 --> 00:11:17.360 nobody's sanging, and he was like, what, really, nobody wants 215 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:19.960 to sing? It was so funny. And Dad gets on 216 00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:21.919 the mic and he's like, I just can't believe that 217 00:11:21.960 --> 00:11:24.799 I've come all the way to California and on a 218 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:27.840 Sunday night we're having church and we're you know, looking 219 00:11:27.919 --> 00:11:31.279 up and seeing God. It's just the irony of it. 220 00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:34.120 You know, California's woo, it's way out there. They don't 221 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:38.240 really believe in God like that characteristically, That's that's kind 222 00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:42.960 of the the stereotype, right, So Dad and Dad was 223 00:11:42.960 --> 00:11:47.200 really tickled by that. But no, what was really amazing 224 00:11:47.240 --> 00:11:49.279 is we had lasers, right, and I kid you not, 225 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.000 Like Dad took one of the lasers and he pointed 226 00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:55.120 it at a precise location in the sky and he said, 227 00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.279 we're going to see He said, I have a feeling 228 00:11:57.799 --> 00:12:01.360 that a cherub, he said. I called him babies or cherubs. 229 00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:04.360 He does my dad in private. He calls them little babies, 230 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:08.200 the orbs. He's like they're children, the little babies. He said, 231 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.639 I'm gonna we're gonna see a little baby with wings 232 00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:13.639 or a cherub appear right here. In the sky, and 233 00:12:13.720 --> 00:12:15.360 he took the laser and he dragged it and he said, 234 00:12:15.399 --> 00:12:18.679 it's gonna go this way, and it's gonna disappear right here, 235 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:22.080 and the whole crowd saw him illustrate where he had 236 00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:23.720 the vision that it was gonna appear and where it 237 00:12:23.759 --> 00:12:28.240 was gonna disappear, and precisely as he predicted, twenty minutes later, 238 00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.919 a literal orb with wings appeared. We've put some photos online. 239 00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:33.799 Of course, people on the internet are like, it's a bird. 240 00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:37.720 It's a bird, but you know, that's obviously really stupid 241 00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.879 because it's glowing. And second of all, they weren't there, 242 00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:44.559 so they can't they they you know, they're not qualified 243 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:47.279 to speak about what it was, to be honest. And 244 00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:51.519 then third of all, we just don't care. But this 245 00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:55.159 glowing being appeared. The whole crowd saw it. They're freaking out, screaming. 246 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:59.799 It was undeniable that it was a glowing, translucent orb 247 00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:04.879 with flapping, freaking wings. People were sprinting because there was 248 00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:06.759 a tree in the middle of the spot where we 249 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:09.200 were skywatching, so like some people couldn't see past the 250 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.480 tree one way, some people couldn't see past the other way, 251 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:14.639 and the cherub appeared kind of like behind the tree 252 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.519 at a certain angle. So like me and many others, 253 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:20.639 we were sprinting to go around the tree to see it, 254 00:13:20.639 --> 00:13:22.840 and I ended up seeing it and it flew for 255 00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:25.240 a while. The wings were clearly flapping, and then it disappeared, 256 00:13:27.240 --> 00:13:31.679 a manifested angel. If you look at the Vatican text 257 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.080 known as the Nine Order of Angels, and it's this 258 00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:39.360 symbol this text with symbols of it of the nine 259 00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:41.840 different races of angels, and it has images of how 260 00:13:41.879 --> 00:13:45.679 they've always been depicted throughout time by the Vatican. If 261 00:13:45.679 --> 00:13:47.600 you look at the top right picture on the Nine 262 00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:51.360 Orders of Angels, it shows little orbs with wings cherubs. 263 00:13:52.159 --> 00:14:01.240 We saw an actual manifested, freaking biblical cherub poof appear 264 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:03.679 exactly as my dad gave it play by play in 265 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:09.639 advance over the crowd, and it was mind blowing. I mean, 266 00:14:09.720 --> 00:14:11.840 the energy was electric. There are people that were running 267 00:14:11.879 --> 00:14:14.840 up to us afterwards to talk about it. It was insane. 268 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.000 And of course people from different angles got footage of 269 00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:19.519 it and they start posting in a line, and it 270 00:14:19.559 --> 00:14:21.440 was really amazing what happened. And we went home and 271 00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:25.720 were like, heck, yeah, Dad, youkick dash, buddy, But no, 272 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:30.639 it was awesome, great time. Now how do I recover 273 00:14:30.679 --> 00:14:32.559 from that into the topic? Right? So tonight we're going 274 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:40.559 to talk about the Secret Book of Judas. It's actually 275 00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:44.679 I think it's officially known as the Secret Gospel of Judas. 276 00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:47.320 Let me get the official name on that if anybody 277 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:49.559 wants to read it. But it is a very cool text, 278 00:14:49.639 --> 00:14:52.320 is written in Coptic, and it is one of the 279 00:14:52.879 --> 00:14:55.440 nog Comodi scrolls, although technically there was another version of 280 00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:59.200 it found in a previous archaeological dig in the eighteen hundreds. 281 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:02.519 Let me get the actual name. I think it's the 282 00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:05.639 Secret Gospel. It's just called the Gospel of Judas, and 283 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.559 of course it's referring to Judas as Scariot. We got 284 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.120 a lot of comments months back before my son was born. 285 00:15:12.159 --> 00:15:13.320 I was like, I might want to do like a 286 00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:15.799 gospel series of sorts. And then, as I've been saying, 287 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:17.840 you know, I thought about it, and it's like, billions 288 00:15:17.879 --> 00:15:20.120 of Christians around the world have read the New Testament, 289 00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.200 or at least the Gospels. They're great stories. I love them, 290 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:26.919 They're wonderful reads. But also like it's kind of like 291 00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.840 so mainstream and I thought about it in my time off. 292 00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:32.279 I was like, no, I want to do a Gnostic 293 00:15:32.320 --> 00:15:35.000 gospel series. I want to get into this hidden stuff 294 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:36.799 that most people are not aware of, and I think 295 00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:40.600 it's very valuable and it provides a deeper look into 296 00:15:40.679 --> 00:15:44.799 the secret esoteric teachings of Christ. Right. 297 00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.759 Hey, everybody, this is Alex of Bledsoe said so, if 298 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:49.759 you've been following the show for a little while, you'd 299 00:15:49.799 --> 00:15:52.080 know that I just had a child and this has 300 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:55.000 been one of the most life changing experiences that I've 301 00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:58.480 ever been through. However, it has made me way busier, 302 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:00.639 and I'm sure many of you out there, parents and 303 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.240 many of you out there are busy. But just because 304 00:16:03.240 --> 00:16:06.039 you're busy, it doesn't mean that your spiritual exploration and 305 00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:09.159 your meditative practice has to suffer. That's why I'm so 306 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:11.679 excited to tell you about the brand new offering from 307 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.399 the Monroe Institute.

So if 315 00:16:37.879 --> 00:16:40.840 you go to the Monroe Institute dot org again that's 316 00:16:41.039 --> 00:16:45.759 Monroe Institute dot org and use code BSS at checkout, 317 00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:50.519 you get an additional discount Monroe Institute dot org. Use 318 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.879 code b SS at checkout, and like, this stuff is 319 00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:56.399 really important because when you think of things like Rosicrucianism 320 00:16:56.600 --> 00:17:00.120 or you know, the Templar Knights or even the Freema 321 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:05.079 or any of these ancient Atlantean mystery schools. 322 00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:07.559 Like this is what they're about. Let's just say that 323 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.200 anybody who's in the know spiritually knows that this was 324 00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:16.319 the truth of Christ, that this was the true transmission. 325 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:19.880 Not necessarily this text, it wasn't authored by Christ, but 326 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:25.400 this body of work, the Gnostic work. We know that 327 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:29.039 there were two movements. Generally speaking, there was actually a 328 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:30.640 lot more than two, but we know there was two 329 00:17:30.680 --> 00:17:37.200 movements of the Christian regime back after Christ was crucified 330 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:40.880 and then he ascended. There was the mainstream one that 331 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:44.279 we have today, which was Peter and Paul, and they 332 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:47.000 were kind of like the early foundation of what became 333 00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:50.440 the Vatican, one of the greatest, biggest boogeymen that controlled 334 00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:54.599 the entire world. And they give you this simple little doctrine. 335 00:17:55.680 --> 00:18:00.720 And then there was the other movement that was more 336 00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:04.599 or less and this gets technical, right, so I'm gonna 337 00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:06.200 have to kind of like disselect this a little bit, 338 00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:15.480 but more or less spearheaded by Jesus's siblings, particularly James, 339 00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:22.160 and others like Neoplatonic gnostic I'm gonna throw a bunch 340 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:27.880 of buzzwords, but Atlantean mystery school initiates. There was this 341 00:18:28.039 --> 00:18:31.759 other movement of people at the time who agreed with 342 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:34.279 Christ and were a part of that movement. And then 343 00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:36.960 you had the brother James and all the other siblings, 344 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:40.559 and they created their own order or their own version 345 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:45.240 of Christ's teachings. James actually was the first bishop of 346 00:18:45.319 --> 00:18:47.799 the Christian Church, and there went on to be a 347 00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:52.039 movement known as the ebia Nites. A thousand years down 348 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.599 the line, this version of Christianity would eventually pop up 349 00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:00.359 as the Templar Knights. So we have these two old 350 00:19:00.519 --> 00:19:03.559 movements of Christianity in the world, one of them very exoteric. 351 00:19:03.640 --> 00:19:06.880 The Vatican. Everybody knows about that, and then you have 352 00:19:06.920 --> 00:19:11.240 the other one, the undercurrent that protected the true transmission 353 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.640 and teachings of Christ, which was the Knights Templar. The 354 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:23.000 Knights Templar were gnostics, but the Vatican said gnostics are evil, 355 00:19:23.559 --> 00:19:27.119 kill them. Okay. So this text that I'm reading from 356 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:33.720 today was found in clay pots written in Coptic in Naghamadi, Egypt, 357 00:19:34.519 --> 00:19:38.400 in about nineteen forty five, and it says this is 358 00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:42.279 the version of or it says, this is the Gospel 359 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.759 of Jesus Christ. According to Judas is Scariot one of 360 00:19:45.759 --> 00:19:48.400 the disciples. And there's like fifty of them. And that's 361 00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:50.720 what I've been covering the last several episodes, all these 362 00:19:50.759 --> 00:19:55.839 different Gnostic tradition nagh Hamadi scholls scrolls, not skulls, scrolls. 363 00:19:56.440 --> 00:20:00.839 They're very important, they're very valuable. This particular was dated 364 00:20:00.839 --> 00:20:03.400 to have been written around one hundred and fifty to 365 00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:06.680 one hundred a D. Which that sounds really far after 366 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:08.599 the death of Christ. But none of the gospels were 367 00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:13.640 written until around like the Gospel Mark, for example, written 368 00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:16.519 around seventy a D. They actually believe it was written 369 00:20:16.519 --> 00:20:21.160 in sixty nine AD. The Gospel of John right the 370 00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:25.759 most famous gospel, believed to have been written anywhere from 371 00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:30.319 ninety to one hundred and fifty a d. It's considered 372 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.759 a canonical text about Jesus Christ. It wasn't written until 373 00:20:33.799 --> 00:20:37.000 sixty or even one hundred years after he was killed. 374 00:20:37.319 --> 00:20:41.720 And we still no pun intended except that as gospel. 375 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:44.039 Do you see what I'm getting at here? So this 376 00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:46.920 is a very valuable text. This is just as old. 377 00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:49.839 This is essentially just as old as the books that 378 00:20:49.880 --> 00:20:53.039 we have in the Bible. And that's the thing that 379 00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:55.640 drives me crazy, is because in three hundred and sixty 380 00:20:55.640 --> 00:20:58.440 five a d. They put the Bible together in Africa 381 00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:00.920 and they said, these are the sixty six books that 382 00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:03.400 you get to have, and this determines the destiny of 383 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.079 your soul. The Gnostic movement, who at that time was 384 00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:11.279 being killed. You have all these church fathers and theologians 385 00:21:11.319 --> 00:21:16.839 coming out like there's this popular text called against Heresies 386 00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:21.240 by Irenaeus that's condemning the Gnostics and the other movements 387 00:21:21.240 --> 00:21:26.000 of Christianity is heretical. And you have like the I 388 00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:28.039 think it was the Second Council of Nicia or the 389 00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:30.599 First Council of Nicia where they banned the Gnostic movement 390 00:21:30.640 --> 00:21:34.200 as heretical in other words, meaning kill them. They're evil. 391 00:21:35.319 --> 00:21:38.759 So you know, they decided long ago what version of 392 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:41.759 Jesus we get, and they gave us the corporate paypig 393 00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:43.720 version that says you got to wear a little cross 394 00:21:43.720 --> 00:21:45.680 with an image of him being slaughtered and he's like 395 00:21:45.720 --> 00:21:47.960 he's bony and his ribs are sunk in and he's bleeding, 396 00:21:48.039 --> 00:21:50.279 and it's like, you know, you need to look at 397 00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.039 you need to worship his death. That's what the Church 398 00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:57.720 gave us. And you are born into this world filthy 399 00:21:57.880 --> 00:22:02.720 and putrid and covered in sin, and you know the 400 00:22:02.759 --> 00:22:06.319 only way that you can go to the afterlife is 401 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:09.839
