We just looked it up 16 00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.120 how to say it. I've seen it spelled so many times. 17 00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:29.280 I've read about it so many times, but I never 18 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.920 heard it said. So some people say damon.

Now, absolutely, dude, 44 00:02:43.120 --> 00:02:45.599 you can't be normal in a crazy world, you know. 45 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.319 No you can't. No, you can't. So uh yeah, let's 46 00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:51.240 get into it. And and we're not we're not talking 47 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:55.599 about demons. Okay, even though, that's what history would like 48 00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:56.199 to tell you. 49 00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:02.400 That's what this word means. So damon it damon or damon? 50 00:03:03.759 --> 00:03:05.919 Hmmm you know how. 51 00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:11.800 That damon it's basically demon with an A. All right, 52 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:17.400 So damon the forgotten guardian of your soul? Is it 53 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:18.479 your higher self? 54 00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:19.719 Oh? 55 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:23.719 Okay baby, yeah yeah, it's gonna be a naughty episode, 56 00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:28.800 all right. So, uh, exploring the divine spirit within from 57 00:03:28.840 --> 00:03:33.159 ancient Greece to modern mysticism. So when and this is 58 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:35.319 We're just gonna get this question out in the open 59 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.080 to get its get the ball rolling, because I feel 60 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.159 like so many people have been conditioned to look at 61 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:46.159 Damon and demon as the same exact thing. Now, demon 62 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:50.360 does have its etymological roots all the way back to Damon, 63 00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.400 so that is where it started, and you're gonna be 64 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.360 able to see the process of how it eventually converted. 65 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.919 And it'll make a lot of sense, especially if you're 66 00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:04.479 pretty well versed in like biblical history and stuff like 67 00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:07.719 if you look back to Emperor Constantine and Council of 68 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.919 Nicea and all that craziness that was going on back 69 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:13.680 in those times. This is going to tickle your religious 70 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:19.560 and spiritual pickle today baby. So when was damon turned 71 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:25.199 into demon? So the transition from daemon or which literally 72 00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.800 translated back then to divine guide or to demon, which 73 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:32.920 is known as an evil spirit, was not a single event, 74 00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.240 but a gradual shift that took place between the first 75 00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:41.279 and fifth centuries as Christianity expanded through the Greco Roman world. 76 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:46.600 So here's the timeline and the key players. So first off, 77 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:50.800 you got in the first century first century BC, you 78 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:56.319 have damon's or daemon's still are respected as as they're 79 00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:00.079 known by, not necessarily dark and demonic and you know, 80 00:05:00.199 --> 00:05:04.279 evil minions of Satan or anything just yet and and 81 00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:07.040 so this was in Greek and in Roman thoughts. So 82 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.639 these were the people that were specifically bringing up the 83 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:15.000 word damon. Okay, So in Greek culture, especially in Plato, 84 00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:21.519 Hesiod and the Stoics, damon's were neutral or benevolent spirits, 85 00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:26.680 divine intermediaries, often equated with one's higher self or genius. 86 00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:30.399 Also where the term genie comes from, by the way. Okay, 87 00:05:30.680 --> 00:05:33.560 that's a topic for another day. But uh so, yeah, 88 00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:37.079 even in Roman culture under figures like Cicero and Seneca, 89 00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:45.360 the Latin demonium still carried mostly positive or neutral connotations, So. 90 00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:47.360 It's not necessarily good or bad, just kind of you 91 00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.639 know what I mean, just that intermediary or whatever in 92 00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:52.839 between you and your higher self or what. 93 00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:56.120 Do you Well, essentially it's kind of like the it's 94 00:05:56.199 --> 00:05:57.839 like your noose in sex. 95 00:05:58.120 --> 00:05:58.879 So it's like. 96 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:04.279 Your what you're contemplating, your rainbow, bridge to God, to 97 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:06.680 the universe, to the source, whatever you want to call it. 98 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:12.959 It's your connection. Yeah, okay, so uh uh. So, first 99 00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:17.079 you got Cicero in the first century BC. His quote 100 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.800 was no man was ever great without a touch of 101 00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:27.240 divine inspiration his own deminium. So dominium and damon, same 102 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:31.879 same word, just different people saying it. So yeah, yeah, 103 00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.879 so he believed, you know, you're not going to get 104 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:38.040 anywhere fast if you don't have you know, if you're 105 00:06:38.079 --> 00:06:40.759 not connected to your damon, and that's what he was 106 00:06:40.759 --> 00:06:43.920 talking about, like it was literally your connection to the all, 107 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:47.600 you know what I mean. And so that's that was 108 00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.800 that was Latin Cicero there. So then you move forward 109 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:55.959 to the first and second century CE, which is the 110 00:06:56.040 --> 00:07:01.000 rise of Christianity and the birth of demonization. So as 111 00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:04.079 early Christians began writing theological texts and preaching in the 112 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.680 Roman Empire, they rejected Pagan's spirituality, as everybody knows, even 113 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:11.439 though they brought in a lot of pagan kind of 114 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:17.279 you know, uh ideas yep, yep, yep, especially anything invoking 115 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.920 gods or spirits outside of the Christian God. So they 116 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:25.120 rejected them, rejected the pagan ideology and spirituality almost wholeheartedly. 117 00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.560 Whenever it came to you know, the upper echelons. You know, 118 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:31.439 we might still keep your little traditions, and we'll still 119 00:07:31.439 --> 00:07:34.199 say the same words, and hey, we might even you know, 120 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.360 celebrate Christmas on fucking you know, the winter solstice, you 121 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.279 know what I mean. But for the most part, yeah, 122 00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:43.839 they they tried to get rid of anything that was 123 00:07:44.120 --> 00:07:46.720 godlike equal to or higher. 124 00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.279 Right, okay, so anything like a like a So they're 125 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:53.360 trying to eliminate any kind of false idols, things of 126 00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:54.439 that like, things of. 127 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.720 That nature, false idols, Yeah right, okay, I'll say that 128 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:01.680 with quotations, and they make it out to be such 129 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:04.600 a silly thing. That's not what the Pagans were about, though, bro, Like, 130 00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:07.800 if the deeper you look into like what actual paganism 131 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:10.639 was all about, Yeah, you had your shitheads, as you 132 00:08:10.680 --> 00:08:15.000 would in every you know, spiritual group, religious group or whatever. 133 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:17.519 But for the most part, all a pagan was was 134 00:08:17.600 --> 00:08:22.279 just somebody who like they were working with the land, 135 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:24.959 They were working with the spirits of the land, and 136 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:27.160 you know, they looked at everything in kind of like 137 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:29.800 a spiritual kind of way, and you know, a lot 138 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:32.759 of the ways. Kind not to get too DeVault or 139 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:36.480 too diluted here, but like how the the Native Americans, 140 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:38.279 how they talk to the land, and they talked to 141 00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.200 the wind, and they talked to the sky and stuff 142 00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.600 like that. Right, That's that's essentially kind of what the 143 00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:45.080 pagans were doing in a sense. 144 00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.600 Because you're you're you're one with that, you know what 145 00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:51.080 I mean. You're not worshiping it necessarily exactly. 146 00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.519 I mean, dude, you're working literally with the stars and 147 00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.360 the placement of the stars in the sky, and you're 148 00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.919 letting the sky and the stars tell the story of 149 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:02.639 what's going to be coming, and your you know, it's 150 00:09:02.720 --> 00:09:06.759 working together with it. And so anyway, we'll do a 151 00:09:06.759 --> 00:09:10.840 whole other show on paganism because it's it's a pretty 152 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:13.039 wild rabbit hole to start diving into, like a lot 153 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:14.440 of their ancient beliefs and stuff. 154 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.159 Yeah, I think there's a lot of misconceptions, you know, 155 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:18.919 so it'd be nice to clear that up. I think 156 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.320 even for myself, I just to get just a clear 157 00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:24.720 understanding of the whole thing and where it started. And 158 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.600 I know we've covered it before, but but yeah, I 159 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.960 think we might have to uh go around the block again. 160 00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:30.360 Dude. 161 00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:31.320 Oh yeah, dude. 162 00:09:31.399 --> 00:09:35.320 So one of the earliest shifts came in the New 163 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:39.159 Testament writings, which was, you know, the Jesus writings. Essentially, 164 00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:45.279 so the Greek word Daemenian or Daemonian, which is a 165 00:09:45.399 --> 00:09:50.480 diminutive of daemon or damon, uh was used to describe 166 00:09:50.559 --> 00:09:55.120 evil spirits or unclean spirits, spirits that Jesus cast it out, 167 00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:59.720 so already right there, that's where it's kind of brought in. 168 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:04.360 That was in the New Testament, which was I mean 169 00:10:04.480 --> 00:10:07.559 it was written. Nobody knows exactly when it was written. 170 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:10.320 Some people don't know exactly when it was written. Well, 171 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:12.759 because it's a if you think about it, the Bible 172 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.039 is just a compilation of a bunch of different books, 173 00:10:16.120 --> 00:10:18.600 and so there's sixty six books of the Bible, and 174 00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:20.120 so many in the New Testament, so many in the 175 00:10:20.159 --> 00:10:23.360 Old Testament. So a lot of the New Testament books 176 00:10:23.399 --> 00:10:26.000 were written obviously after Jesus died. 177 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:26.559 Like that. 178 00:10:26.840 --> 00:10:30.039 Yeah, well, after Jesus died. And that's really the question 179 00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:32.639 because you know, and this is a whole side tangent 180 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.840 we're probably going to get into. But so Jesus, people 181 00:10:35.879 --> 00:10:38.159 don't even agree on what year he died. Some people 182 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:41.039 say thirty two AD, some people say thirty a D. 183 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.039 Some people say thirty three a D. I always looked 184 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:47.240 at it as like the year of our Lord. That's 185 00:10:47.320 --> 00:10:51.440 literally what we call like the year that we're in. Right, 186 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.320 So if Jesus was born in year zero, let's just 187 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.240 say that he was born in year zero, then it 188 00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.279 would make sense that he would have died in thirty 189 00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.320 two AD because year zero still counts as a year, right, 190 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.679 Oh okay, And so I don't know, it's weird, but anyway, 191 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:10.240 so he ended up dying, you know, in the thirties 192 00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:14.519 a d. And after he died, then people started, you know, 193 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.519 writing books and stuff like that. But if you go 194 00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:21.039 into the four main Gospels of the Bible with Matthew, Mark, Luke, 195 00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:26.519 and John those stories. Depending on who you ask, some 196 00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:29.519 people say it was written directly after Jesus died. Some 197 00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:32.039 people say it was written while Jesus was still living, 198 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:34.960 and others say, well, no, it's actually not even written 199 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.159 until about seventy or eighty a d at the very earliest. 200 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.919 And I believe that that one. Don't quote me on this. 201 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.559 I believe the first one that they believe was written 202 00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.200 was the Gospel of John. 203 00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.279 Okay, but it's been a minicence. I looked into it, 204 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:49.000 but yeah, it's. 205 00:11:49.120 --> 00:11:50.799 It's a long time though. It's like a whole lifetime. 206 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:53.639 Oh you're talking about fifty sixty years at least after 207 00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.600 his death, and so you know, it almost became mythological 208 00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:02.080 just with the time, you know, right. So anyhow, uh 209 00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.519 so it says these were not these were likely not 210 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:09.360 meant to be direct references to the Greek damon, but 211 00:12:09.480 --> 00:12:13.759 the word itself got rebranded in early Christian usage. So 212 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:16.879 they're rebranding words now. So if you were a pagan 213 00:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.639 and you were, you know, in communication with your damon 214 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.440 or your demon, well, now whoa hold on. 215 00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.440 You're talking to demons now, you know. 216 00:12:25.639 --> 00:12:28.360 And not of this right here? 217 00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:32.600 Yeah, exactly, because they want you to worship God and 218 00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:35.759 Jesus that you know are outside of you, which it 219 00:12:35.799 --> 00:12:37.200 doesn't even say that in the Bible, but that's what 220 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:40.480 a lot of people believe. So then we move forward 221 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:45.320 to the second and third century CE uh or A D. 222 00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.000 I don't know, I mean C E A D. 223 00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.480 And so in the second and third century a D. 224 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:58.720 You had Justin Martyr or again and uh Tertullian never 225 00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.200 heard of some of these names. But these were early 226 00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.639 church fathers that started explicitly teaching that pagan gods were 227 00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:10.879 demons in disguise and that all damons were evil entities 228 00:13:11.039 --> 00:13:14.600 sent by Satan. Of course, so it starts right there 229 00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.919 in the s two. You know he sent a shit 230 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.919 ton Oh well, I mean said to be like a 231 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.320 third of God's angels or something like that. 232 00:13:23.480 --> 00:13:26.559 Right, right, So you had. 233 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:29.200 Justin Martyr, as we talked about before he was alive 234 00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:31.519 in one hundred and fifty a D. 235 00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:33.679 Or he said this. In one hundred and fifty a D. 236 00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:39.240 He goes, the gods of the Pagans are demons just outright, Ye, 237 00:13:40.200 --> 00:13:44.600 he declared that damons misled the nations away from the 238 00:13:44.600 --> 00:13:48.440 one true God. Oh just reminds me a game of 239 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:50.000 thrones when people start talking about. 240 00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:52.120 That, right, I mean the thing I wonder whenever we 241 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:54.399 talk about the Bible and things like this, is like 242 00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.039 before the Bible was written, what was going on? People 243 00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.759 were just misinformed. They were just kind of doing their 244 00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:02.559 own thing, you know what I mean, until these books 245 00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:04.600 came out and it was like this is the truth. 246 00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:06.399 Like what about before that? 247 00:14:06.960 --> 00:14:09.519 Well, I mean you had the Old Testament, which was Jewish, 248 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:12.279 and that I don't know exactly even how far that 249 00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.679 goes back. I don't know when that you know, the well, 250 00:14:15.399 --> 00:14:17.840 I say old Testaments, the Torah, which are you know, 251 00:14:17.879 --> 00:14:19.799 that's what the Jews look, you know, that's what they 252 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:24.039 they that's their Bible essentially, right, and and so I 253 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:29.000 believe that goes back to not exactly a thousand BC, 254 00:14:29.799 --> 00:14:31.360 but somewhere like a. 255 00:14:31.320 --> 00:14:33.440 While back, you know, right, Okay. 256 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.759 And then obviously the New Testament came after that, once 257 00:14:36.840 --> 00:14:39.679 Jesus was born and you know, did his whole thing. 258 00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:42.879 Yeah, Because that's just one thing I always wonder about. 259 00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:46.000 It's like, why why wait so long to give us 260 00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:49.080 this information through a prophet and to show us the way? 261 00:14:49.120 --> 00:14:51.559 Like all those people before just had no idea. 262 00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:53.000 Well, and that's I think. 263 00:14:53.039 --> 00:14:55.279 Like the Pagans and you know what I mean, and 264 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:55.679 I'm not. 265 00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:58.960 Like the biggest fan of science, to be honest with you, 266 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.679 because I a lot. It's very bought and paid and 267 00:15:01.960 --> 00:15:03.480 I'm not going to get into that. But y'all know 268 00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.200 I'm a conspiracy theorist. I'm going to take it there. 269 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.279 But what's even what science says is that humanity, the 270 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.799 homo sapien sapien of which we are, goes back to 271 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:17.279 three hundred thousand years was whenever the first you know, 272 00:15:17.480 --> 00:15:21.039 human as we know them were around. And then you 273 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.120 even go back fifty thousand years and I believe South 274 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:28.000 Carolina where they found some kind of pottery that dates 275 00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:30.879 back fifty thousand years, pottery with painting and carvings and 276 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:34.200 shited on it fifty thousand years. It dates back. So yeah, 277 00:15:34.240 --> 00:15:38.039 it's a good question. You know, where was you know, 278 00:15:38.159 --> 00:15:38.879 these teachings and. 279 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.639 Why why did he wait so long to you know, 280 00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:44.960 send some information to this said profit, you know, and 281 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:48.519 say spread this message because before that everyone else just 282 00:15:48.679 --> 00:15:52.440 was so misinformed, you know, just kind of worshiping whatever 283 00:15:52.440 --> 00:15:53.960 they wanted exactly. 284 00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:56.200 Yeah, and by the way, this is not going to 285 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:59.720 be a Christianity bashing type of episode. We respect everybody, 286 00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:03.919 just the curiosity. It's just more so yeah, like trying 287 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:06.440 to get into the mind of God, which you know, 288 00:16:06.799 --> 00:16:10.320 say what you will about that, but yeah, it's it's 289 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.720 weird how how it all transpired in the timeline that 290 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:16.080 it all transpired as well. So yeah, justin Martyr saying 291 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:19.600 that the gods of the pagans are damons, which translates 292 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:22.559 to demons. Uh, then you have origin. He was another 293 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.559 early church father and he was around from one eighty 294 00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.960 five to two fifty three a d. And his quote 295 00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:36.000 is all damons are evil and the cause of men's sins. 296 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:40.799 So at this point, the word damonium, damonium, I don't 297 00:16:40.799 --> 00:16:43.120 know how to say. That damn word in Latin no 298 00:16:43.200 --> 00:16:48.039 longer meant inner guide. It it becomes synonymous with satanic influence. 299 00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:50.799 And then so if you're if you're if you're catching 300 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:53.320 a download, or you're you're talking to your higher self 301 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:55.720 or I don't know, whatever it could be. You know, 302 00:16:55.799 --> 00:16:57.720 it's like, no, no, no, don't listen to that. That's 303 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:01.320 that's not the right answer. That's you know, listen to 304 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:01.840 what we're. 305 00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:06.359 Saying exactly, don't don't trust yourself and don't trust your spirit, 306 00:17:06.480 --> 00:17:09.119 even though it literally says in the Bible, the Kingdom, 307 00:17:09.480 --> 00:17:12.920 the Kingdom of Heaven is within you, yep, right, and 308 00:17:13.519 --> 00:17:17.480 even in is it Matthew six twenty two. If therefore 309 00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.119 thine eye be single, then your whole body should be 310 00:17:20.160 --> 00:17:20.759 full of light. 311 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.759 Damn, you just called that out. Huh that's your favorite. 312 00:17:24.519 --> 00:17:26.480 Right, not gonna lie, just yeah, that's one of my favorites. 313 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:29.079 So but that's just the I plan on getting that 314 00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:32.960 tattoo one day. So now we jump ahead to the 315 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:38.079 fourth century, and this is where Augustine seals the seals 316 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:42.359 the deal. So Saint Augustine, not august Augustine, Augustine rather, 317 00:17:42.680 --> 00:17:45.279 so Saint Augustine was around from three point fifty four 318 00:17:45.359 --> 00:17:49.200 to four point thirty and in his book called the 319 00:17:49.240 --> 00:17:54.240 City of God, it says, this is his quote, he goes, 320 00:17:54.640 --> 00:17:58.400 the damons, though sometimes appearing to help humans, are in 321 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:04.279 fact malicious, eating souls away from salvation. But they appear 322 00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:08.119 to be doing good, you know. Yes, sometimes they're good, 323 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:09.799 sometimes they're bad. This is the whole idea of the 324 00:18:09.880 --> 00:18:13.160 Gin by the way as well, right, And this is 325 00:18:13.200 --> 00:18:16.000 what we're talking about, the damon and the genius. They're 326 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:18.680 always interconnected, which we're going to do a whole episode 327 00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:21.799 on the genius and the genie and the gin in 328 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:24.400 that whole correlation right there as well. But it's all 329 00:18:24.440 --> 00:18:26.839 talking about the same thing. Like, it's not talking about 330 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:29.960 your brain and your egoic mind or your human mind 331 00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.000 or anything like that. It's the quiet mind that speaks 332 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:34.079 to you essentially. 333 00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:34.440 You know. 334 00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.440 Some people call that your higher self or your your 335 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.839 inner spark or whatever you want to call it. But yeah, 336 00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:42.400 they're saying that, like, well, I mean, they are in 337 00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:46.319 fact malicious and they need you away from salvation, which. 338 00:18:46.200 --> 00:18:52.680 Clearly clearly so anything not of God basically is yeah, 339 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:54.839 get in line, you know kind of stuff. 340 00:18:55.279 --> 00:19:00.160 But Augustine's writing became foundational for Western Christian doctrine, and 341 00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:05.319 he fully codified the idea that damon's equals demons. So 342 00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:08.839 it was around this time it was nobody was questioning 343 00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.079 it anymore. Like people just kind of you know, forgot, 344 00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:14.720 I mean, which you know, several hundred years have have 345 00:19:15.039 --> 00:19:18.359 gone on, and so traditions are constantly being wiped away, 346 00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:21.240 especially during the Crusades, and everybody's dying that's not going 347 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:24.240 along to get along with you know, emperors and whatnot. 348 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:29.119 But yeah, it's unfortunate. So this was the final blow 349 00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:31.839 to the original meaning. From here on in the Latin 350 00:19:31.880 --> 00:19:38.960 speaking church, deamonium equals evil, spirit, genius, damon and guide 351 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:43.079 equal heretical or dangerous to follow. 352 00:19:43.400 --> 00:19:46.440 A guide even yep, you know, like, so when when 353 00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:49.079 are you supposed to know if God's talking to you? 354 00:19:49.079 --> 00:19:50.240 You know, that's what I want to know. 355 00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:54.799 What's the Well, first of all, you have to be religious, 356 00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.480 because if you're not religious, then surely God wouldn't give 357 00:19:57.480 --> 00:19:57.960 you a message. 358 00:19:58.000 --> 00:20:00.119 I'm open to it to begin. 359 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:04.680 I mean, yeah, I've talked, you know, to numerous amounts 360 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:08.799 of Christians about my whole eloheem story and they're like, 361 00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.839 oh were you are you Christian? No, well that must 362 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:15.720 have been a demon then sorry. 363 00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:16.640 You were full dude, you were tricked. 364 00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:18.839 Yeah, oh my god. 365 00:20:19.839 --> 00:20:23.680 But anyway, all right, so yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, here 366 00:20:23.680 --> 00:20:25.920 we go. So by the Middle Ages from five hundred 367 00:20:25.960 --> 00:20:30.119 to fifteen hundred AD, the word demon in English developed 368 00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:35.160 from Old French demon, which came from Latin damonium, which 369 00:20:35.200 --> 00:20:38.920 originally came from the Greek daemon. But by this time 370 00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:43.119 all association with the original Greek meaning was gone. Demon 371 00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:47.279 meant hellish, possessive and satanic. So just to give a 372 00:20:47.279 --> 00:20:49.599 little summary here about you know, the the years of 373 00:20:49.640 --> 00:20:52.160 the breakdown about how it all happened. You have the 374 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:57.279 pre first century CE, So let's just say first century BC, right, 375 00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:03.400 Damon equals divine guy, enter genius and U spirit. Move 376 00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:06.920 toward the first and second sect. First and second century 377 00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:12.920 AD daemonian used in Christian texts to describe evil spirits. 378 00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:16.680 Move forward to the second and third century Church fathers 379 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:21.680 justin Martyr and Origin declare all pagan daemon's evil. Fourth 380 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:27.319 and fifth century CE you have Augustine cements daemon equals 381 00:21:27.519 --> 00:21:30.599 demon in Church doctrine, and then of course by the 382 00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:35.000 Middle Ages, the word demon enters English with purely negative meaning. 383 00:21:35.720 --> 00:21:38.720 Wow. I mean it's pretty genius, you know, to just 384 00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.240 kinda to that kind of magic and make the real 385 00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:44.119 meaning of what it is just kind of go. 386 00:21:44.079 --> 00:21:47.480 Away, like completely genius. I think you picked the exact 387 00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.119 right word there. 388 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:52.279 So I never even really heard of damon or anything 389 00:21:52.319 --> 00:21:54.519 like that. I know of demon, and I know that 390 00:21:54.599 --> 00:21:57.079 it has a very negative connotation in all this, but 391 00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:00.359 never really knew anything about the damon, you know, and 392 00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.200 where it came from. Dude, so this is just evidence. 393 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:06.720 Ain't too many pagans around to tell the story anymore, 394 00:22:06.839 --> 00:22:10.359 that's true, you know, So why it all matters? This 395 00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:14.039 wasn't just a linguistic evolution. It was a spiritual inversion. 396 00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:18.079 The sacred voice within the damon became a threat to 397 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.039 religious control because if people could hear divine truth within themselves, 398 00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:24.960 they wouldn't need a priest to tell them who they 399 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:28.400 were or what God wanted. The inner voice that once 400 00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:32.759 led Socrates and uplifted Plato became under the church the 401 00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:33.920 whisper of Satan. 402 00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:38.279 Of course, dude, of course, you know you need some 403 00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:41.319 type of higher authority to help you out, or to 404 00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.200 guide you, or to you know, assist. You know, you 405 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:47.240 just can't do that by yourself. You're just an unclean rag. 406 00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:47.720 What do you know? 407 00:22:47.799 --> 00:22:50.559 You're a sinner. You were born a sinner. You're born 408 00:22:50.599 --> 00:22:54.519 into sin. Had no chance think about that, dude, You're 409 00:22:54.599 --> 00:22:58.759 born into sin? Like, how, my god, what does that 410 00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:00.440 got to do to the psyche for people to actually 411 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:02.240 accept that? You know? 412 00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:05.119 Yeah, Well, all you're gonna do is just except the 413 00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:07.440 Lord is our savior. Man, You'll be good. Don't even trip. 414 00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.279 Oh yeah, then you'd be saved. So anyhow, what if 415 00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:14.799 the inner voice you sometimes hear that quiet poll that's 416 00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.480 strange knowing, isn't your imagination at all. What if it's 417 00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:21.519 a divine spirit one that has been guiding your soul 418 00:23:21.599 --> 00:23:24.720 since before you were born. This episode that we're going 419 00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:27.319 to be getting into is not necessarily about religion. We 420 00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:29.759 kind of want to just go through the etymology there first, 421 00:23:29.839 --> 00:23:32.960 but now we're going to get into what it actually means, 422 00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:35.759 how people were using it, some quotes by people who 423 00:23:35.759 --> 00:23:38.160 were actually in touch with it. It's going to be 424 00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:41.039 an all inclusive, daimonic episode. 425 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:43.680 Oh alrighty take us there. 426 00:23:44.240 --> 00:23:48.200 Okay, So yeah, so it's not about religion, it's about 427 00:23:48.200 --> 00:23:49.319 personal nosis. 428 00:23:49.599 --> 00:23:52.119 The episode, this episode. 429 00:23:51.720 --> 00:23:55.839 Will be an initiation into rediscovering the divine intelligence that's 430 00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:57.160 been with you all along. 431 00:23:57.759 --> 00:24:01.759 You're damon, so what is a damon? Damon? 432 00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:04.440 I'm just gonna keep on going back and forth with it, 433 00:24:04.480 --> 00:24:09.240 and to be honest, because if I'm wrong, I'm only 434 00:24:09.279 --> 00:24:10.279 half wrong, you know. 435 00:24:10.319 --> 00:24:13.519 Exactly right. It's letting everybody know that we don't know 436 00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:14.359 what we're talking about. 437 00:24:14.640 --> 00:24:16.200 You know, we say it in the beginning though I 438 00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:17.960 don't know what the fu you know. 439 00:24:19.200 --> 00:24:22.880 So. The word daemon has deep roots in Greek cosmology. 440 00:24:23.039 --> 00:24:28.160 It didn't mean evil spirit. It referred to a divine intermediary, 441 00:24:28.440 --> 00:24:32.079 a spiritual intelligence that lives within or around each person. 442 00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:35.680 These beings weren't worshiped like Olympian gods, but were seen 443 00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:39.799 as personal guides connected to fate, genius, and divine will. 444 00:24:40.240 --> 00:24:43.559 To the Greeks, every soul had a damon, a kind 445 00:24:43.640 --> 00:24:47.279 of celestial twin or guardian genius that knew what your 446 00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:51.319 soul's purpose was. It wasn't some outside entity trying. 447 00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:51.759 To control you. 448 00:24:52.079 --> 00:24:56.319 It was you, just more whole, more awake, more divine. 449 00:24:56.720 --> 00:25:00.319 The daemon represented the soul's memory of heaven was spring, 450 00:25:00.440 --> 00:25:04.960 reminders and moments of clarity, inspiration, or danger. Modern mystics 451 00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:08.559 and psychologists have begun reclaiming this idea. The damon is 452 00:25:08.640 --> 00:25:12.200 your future self speaking back through time. It's the compass 453 00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:15.200 pointing toward your destiny. But if you ignore it, you 454 00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.920 may feel lost, restless, or even cursed. Not because it 455 00:25:18.960 --> 00:25:22.279 punishes you, but because you've strayed away from your own 456 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:26.279 divine alignment. So, and this might be why people are 457 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:29.079 getting deja vu if you really think about that. 458 00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.880 Mmmm, yeah, ude. And what I'm thinking about is is 459 00:25:32.119 --> 00:25:35.079 that you know, we always know, even though we might 460 00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:38.000 not always be good or do good things, you know, 461 00:25:38.039 --> 00:25:41.000 but I feel like we know the difference. We know 462 00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:45.519 what's good regardless of what you would belief system you follow. 463 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:48.200 It's just kind of ingrained. We know what's what's right 464 00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:48.720 from wrong. 465 00:25:49.200 --> 00:25:49.440 Yeah. 466 00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:51.440 I mean, I don't need a book telling me that 467 00:25:51.519 --> 00:25:53.599 thou shalt not kill, you know, I kind of just 468 00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:55.319 know not to do it, and I know that like 469 00:25:55.319 --> 00:25:59.759 inherently it's a bad thing, you know. So uh, moving forward, 470 00:25:59.839 --> 00:26:03.200 So first off, we're going to get Socrates and the damon. 471 00:26:03.480 --> 00:26:06.440 So Socrates was the first and in the Western canon 472 00:26:06.559 --> 00:26:09.880 to talk openly about his damon. He described it as 473 00:26:09.920 --> 00:26:13.839 a voice, never loud, never commanding, that warned him when 474 00:26:13.880 --> 00:26:16.799 he was about to act against his soul's calling. 475 00:26:17.400 --> 00:26:20.440 Mm okay, all right, that's cool. Of course he's got 476 00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:23.279 to get into mixed, dude. He was connected, he knew 477 00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:25.279 something was going on. Oh dude. 478 00:26:25.319 --> 00:26:28.440 I mean that's who Plato learned from, was Socrates. 479 00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:28.880 Yep. 480 00:26:28.960 --> 00:26:31.319 You know, he was an understudy of Socrates there for 481 00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:33.759 a while, which is what inspired him down his path. 482 00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:39.480 So yeah, so he didn't worship it, but he listened always. 483 00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:43.160 He claimed that the daemon had been with him since childhood. 484 00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:46.720 When he stood trial, he said it had not dissuaded him, 485 00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:50.240 and so he accepted his fate. This shows that even 486 00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:54.720 death was preferable to betraying one's damon, a powerful idea 487 00:26:54.759 --> 00:26:58.759 that personal integrity is more sacred than survival. This inner 488 00:26:58.839 --> 00:27:03.440 voice wasn't madness or superstition. It was divine alignment. Socrates 489 00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:06.240 didn't see himself as a prophet or a mystic, yet 490 00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:09.759 he trusted this whisper above all else, which suggests that 491 00:27:09.880 --> 00:27:14.319 the damon is not some supernatural fantasy, but a real, 492 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:18.319 experiential part of being a human when you live consciously. 493 00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:23.720 It's consciousness, dude, Yeah, I mean where it's derived from. 494 00:27:23.960 --> 00:27:26.640 And yeah, we call that a higher self nowadays, but 495 00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:29.240 back then, just think about it, like right now, right, 496 00:27:29.599 --> 00:27:33.200 let's say that Jesus was existing, or let's say Jesus 497 00:27:33.279 --> 00:27:38.319 just died thirty forty years ago, just hypothetically speaking, and and. 498 00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:39.759 So and everybody. 499 00:27:39.920 --> 00:27:43.400 Let's just say that everybody knew that, like your higher 500 00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:45.880 self was a good thing. It's good to get into alignment, 501 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.119 it's good to meditate, it's good to eat healthy, it's 502 00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:50.599 good to work out, it's good to do like very 503 00:27:50.720 --> 00:27:53.119 conscious things. That's going to keep you kind of in 504 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.039 this alignment, right, And let's just say that everybody called 505 00:27:56.079 --> 00:27:58.640 it your higher self, just you know, a little roundabout 506 00:27:58.720 --> 00:27:59.400 type of term here. 507 00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:02.880 And then the church fathers come around, they're like. 508 00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:06.519 Whoa your higher self? What are you fucking worshiping yourself now? 509 00:28:06.519 --> 00:28:10.400 Which is gus, yeah, which is exactly what a lot 510 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:12.920 of people say. Oh, you're worshiping yourself. I don't know 511 00:28:12.960 --> 00:28:16.119 a single fucking person that worships themselves. I mean, yeah, 512 00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:18.039 you might, they might be a little full of their 513 00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:19.240 own shit, But to. 514 00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:22.799 Say that you're worshiping yourself, that's egregious. Yeah. I think 515 00:28:22.839 --> 00:28:25.880 if you're worshiping yourself, there's never a single moment that 516 00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:28.839 you're talking shit to yourself, you know. And I think 517 00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:30.880 we all talk shit to ourselves more so than we 518 00:28:30.880 --> 00:28:33.440 would talk shit to anybody exactly. 519 00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.599 So it's kind of like just instead of them, and 520 00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:40.559 instead of looking at them like they got uh, they 521 00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:43.200 got one over on the word damon, just look at 522 00:28:43.200 --> 00:28:45.559 it like they got one over on the word higher self. 523 00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:50.000 And they turned the higher self into a negative entity 524 00:28:50.079 --> 00:28:53.279 that only communicates with the dark side. That's essentially what 525 00:28:53.319 --> 00:28:58.680 they did. Okay, so all right, so that was Socrates. 526 00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:01.279 Now we're gonna get into Neil Platonism and the damon. 527 00:29:01.640 --> 00:29:02.359 So uh. 528 00:29:02.720 --> 00:29:07.759 Later, philosophers like Platinus and Proclus built on Plato's ideas 529 00:29:07.799 --> 00:29:10.799 and took the damon to cosmic levels. In their view, 530 00:29:10.960 --> 00:29:14.160 every soul descends from the divine and forgets its source. 531 00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:17.640 The damon's job is to guide it back like uh 532 00:29:18.000 --> 00:29:23.839 Ari ariadnes I'm terrible old people's names, but like his 533 00:29:24.000 --> 00:29:28.079 thread through the labyrinth of incarnation. They believe that the 534 00:29:28.160 --> 00:29:33.119 damon exists in a realm between heaven and earth and 535 00:29:33.240 --> 00:29:36.920 in between state, essentially acting as a translator between the 536 00:29:36.960 --> 00:29:40.200 soul and the divine. It doesn't control the human, but 537 00:29:40.319 --> 00:29:44.960 instead it nudges, aligns, and inspires. The damon remembers who 538 00:29:45.039 --> 00:29:49.359 you are even when you don't, so Proclus. Proclus even 539 00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:52.759 even taught that the damon was a mirror of your 540 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:54.279 perfected soul. 541 00:29:54.960 --> 00:29:55.240 Hmm. 542 00:29:56.039 --> 00:29:58.400 That's pretty cool, dude, And that's why so many of 543 00:29:58.440 --> 00:30:02.480 the spiritual feelings or or experiences that we have had 544 00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:06.119 feel familiar, even though you've never been there at least 545 00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:06.960 not in this body. 546 00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:07.880 Oh dude. 547 00:30:08.000 --> 00:30:10.640 Yeah, And I mean he's literally talking about the intermediary 548 00:30:10.680 --> 00:30:11.960 between you and Heaven. 549 00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:13.000 Mm hmm. 550 00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:16.160 That's that's all the way neoplatonic, just looking at the 551 00:30:16.240 --> 00:30:19.079 you know, the the one emanating onto all things, right 552 00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:23.119 and so yeah, and also think about it like this, 553 00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:29.920 the daemon could literally be Jesus m because well, because 554 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:33.279 Christ is the intermediary between you and God. Nobody comes 555 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:37.519 to God except through me, right, h right, So it's 556 00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:40.799 essentially that Jesus is a damon if you really think 557 00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:41.519 about it like that. 558 00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.960 Jez, that's gonna ruffle some feathers. Moving on, That'll be 559 00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:49.400 the title of this episode, Us a Demon. Wait a minute, 560 00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:52.839 what the shit, bully? 561 00:30:53.200 --> 00:30:56.480 So yeah, so he he taught that the daemon was 562 00:30:56.599 --> 00:31:00.359 a mirror of your of your perfected self. The more 563 00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.200 you purify your life, the more you harmonize with it. 564 00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.200 In this way, working with the damon is a spiritual practice, 565 00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:11.599 one of remembrance, realignment, and awakening to your true to 566 00:31:11.640 --> 00:31:16.279 your true soul's contract, to your true soul's contract. 567 00:31:16.359 --> 00:31:19.519 Yeah, okay, holy shit, I don't remember who it was. 568 00:31:19.640 --> 00:31:22.359 I don't know if it was Danny gold or I'm 569 00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:25.759 really I can't remember, but somebody said that they met there. 570 00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.480 It might not even necessarily have been their future self, 571 00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:32.279 but it was their wiser self, like in form like 572 00:31:32.319 --> 00:31:34.279 in front of them, And so I wonder if that 573 00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:35.519 was their damon. 574 00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:37.000 Oh, Butler said it yeah. 575 00:31:37.079 --> 00:31:40.000 Butler said, oh, that's right, that's right, yeah, dude. 576 00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:41.920 Yeah, because he was like, yeah, it didn't look like 577 00:31:41.960 --> 00:31:44.759 a super old version, but I knew that it was 578 00:31:44.839 --> 00:31:46.559 like a more wise version of me. 579 00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:51.559 Right, his connection to that divine, the connection that allows 580 00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:56.359 him to understand his divinity, you know, I mean he 581 00:31:56.440 --> 00:31:59.359 met his damon. That's crazy, you know, essentially. 582 00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:01.880 So just before we go any farther, I want to 583 00:32:01.920 --> 00:32:05.839 get over to the chat here real quick. The White 584 00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:08.359 Boy Wizard said, the end betwixt. 585 00:32:09.039 --> 00:32:11.720 Yes, it's my favorite. It's my favorite. 586 00:32:12.519 --> 00:32:16.359 Kara said, good evening, mysterious weirdos and happy New Moon 587 00:32:16.519 --> 00:32:17.079 and cancer. 588 00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:20.839 It's been a while. Oh all right, Caro, what's up, dude? 589 00:32:22.319 --> 00:32:24.359 And Taylor said, oh my god, you got to watch 590 00:32:24.400 --> 00:32:27.960 his Dark materials. Bro. Ever since they brought this up, 591 00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.279 Nick has been like, I fucking told you years and 592 00:32:31.400 --> 00:32:34.039 years ago, you need to watch his Dark materials. I'm like, 593 00:32:34.119 --> 00:32:36.640 I know, Nick, I'm sorry, I've been. I think I 594 00:32:36.720 --> 00:32:39.599 tried watching one episode, but you know what, I gotta 595 00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:41.319 stick through it. I give up way too easy on 596 00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:44.279 shows that you know whatever. But I mean, he keeps 597 00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:47.079 on saying it. And look, I mean, you know, we 598 00:32:47.079 --> 00:32:49.559 we all enjoy the oay, and we all enjoy like 599 00:32:49.640 --> 00:32:52.039 Rick and Morty and Black Mirror and all these kinds 600 00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:55.319 of things that it's like, you know, our group knows 601 00:32:55.400 --> 00:32:57.720 what's up, you know, all of the one here. If 602 00:32:57.720 --> 00:32:59.880 there's ever a show or a tea or like a 603 00:33:00.039 --> 00:33:02.400 movie or something like that that y'all recommend that kind 604 00:33:02.400 --> 00:33:07.000 of goes in line with meta mysteries all encompassing, then yeah, 605 00:33:07.039 --> 00:33:09.599 we're we're definitely gonna give it a little look see 606 00:33:09.640 --> 00:33:10.319 at the bare middle. 607 00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:12.119 Oh yeah, dude, I've been I've been having a hard 608 00:33:12.160 --> 00:33:15.279 time finding movies and finding things because I'm always looking 609 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:19.319 for something deep, something I don't know, something more foundational 610 00:33:19.400 --> 00:33:22.039 and true or or just real, you know what I mean. 611 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:24.079 And whenever I go and look at the movies, so 612 00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:25.720 I'm like, what is this shit? Dude? I don't want 613 00:33:25.720 --> 00:33:27.799 to waste two hours watching this, you know, And don't 614 00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:29.559 get me wrong. I will, you know, I will watch 615 00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:32.160 something here and there, but lately I've been really looking 616 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:34.559 for something like I don't know, just deep. 617 00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:35.799 Yeah. 618 00:33:35.799 --> 00:33:38.920 Well, and so Taylor said, I'm over here, like, oh 619 00:33:38.920 --> 00:33:42.160 my god, Socrates makes so much sense when when thinking 620 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.880 about the Damon in the show and then said that 621 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:48.839 the Golden Compass is a movie version of the Show 622 00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:49.920 Kids movie. 623 00:33:49.680 --> 00:33:50.079 I love it. 624 00:33:50.160 --> 00:33:52.240 Wow. Okay, I haven't heard of that one yet. 625 00:33:52.279 --> 00:33:54.880 But all right, well, I mean that's our homework. We 626 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:56.000 got to watch his dark. 627 00:33:55.880 --> 00:34:00.960 Materials, bro, thank you, thank you for that good stuff. So, yeah, 628 00:34:00.960 --> 00:34:04.480 we had Neoplatonism, we had Socrates diving into it. Now 629 00:34:04.519 --> 00:34:08.000 we're going to get to the Gnostic and Hermetic principles 630 00:34:08.079 --> 00:34:11.960 and parallels rather so, the Gnostics had a similar view, 631 00:34:12.119 --> 00:34:16.039 though with a more urgent tone and their cosmology. We 632 00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:19.960 are divine sparks trapped in a material prison. The damon 633 00:34:20.239 --> 00:34:23.440 is a fragment of divine memory, the part of you 634 00:34:23.679 --> 00:34:27.760 that never forgot the light. It's not just guidance, it's rescue. 635 00:34:28.280 --> 00:34:33.880 In Hermeticism, the noose, which is more of a Neoplatonic 636 00:34:33.920 --> 00:34:39.519 idea and Platonic idea, but Hermeticism and Platonism kind of 637 00:34:39.519 --> 00:34:41.920 go hand in hand with a lot of things. So 638 00:34:42.079 --> 00:34:45.880 in Hermeticism, the noose or the divine intellect, and the logos, 639 00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:49.559 which is the divine word, serve as serve a similar 640 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:53.320 purpose as bridges between the mortal and the eternal. The 641 00:34:53.400 --> 00:34:58.199 damon becomes the inner Christ, the foath or the higher Mercury. 642 00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:01.559 Yeah, that's good stuff right there. 643 00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:04.599 Hermes, Hermes, remember Hermi Streusman justus was, you know, standing 644 00:35:04.599 --> 00:35:09.519 for mercury, which was the messenger between you and the One. 645 00:35:09.679 --> 00:35:13.360 So the damon literally is your connection to the One, 646 00:35:13.440 --> 00:35:16.119 to the All, to God, to the universe whatever, right, 647 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:21.360 m hm. Both traditions emphasize gnosis, which is inner knowing. 648 00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:25.480 You don't need external profits. When you're connected to your damon, 649 00:35:25.760 --> 00:35:29.159 you have direct access to the divine stream. This made 650 00:35:29.239 --> 00:35:33.679 these traditions threatening to religious institutions, which is likely why 651 00:35:33.760 --> 00:35:36.400 the damon was literally demonized. 652 00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:39.360 So I wonder what the threat is though. Is it 653 00:35:39.480 --> 00:35:43.199 just a power thing like usual, just they don't want 654 00:35:43.400 --> 00:35:45.599 us to have that kind of power because only they 655 00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:48.559 can have that power, you know, that authority. Yeah, it's 656 00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:49.199 kind of like. 657 00:35:51.000 --> 00:35:53.199 This is going to sound bad, but it's kind of like, uh, 658 00:35:54.360 --> 00:35:57.199 like uh, what is it called the beauty and the 659 00:35:57.199 --> 00:36:00.880 Beast syndrome? I can never remember that term. Oh fuck, 660 00:36:03.039 --> 00:36:06.159 somebody's gonna remember it anyway. It's essentially like that, you know, 661 00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:08.639 the the syndrome, Stockholm syndrome. 662 00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:09.280 Yes, that's it. 663 00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:13.519 But it's essentially like, if you're the husband, will will 664 00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:18.559 belittle the wife so much, either you know, physical, emotional, sexual, whatever, 665 00:36:19.159 --> 00:36:22.559 so much, and the wife literally starts believing that she's 666 00:36:22.599 --> 00:36:25.960 lower in dirt, lower than dirt. And because look, you're 667 00:36:26.000 --> 00:36:29.400 you're if you full on buy into why your husband 668 00:36:29.639 --> 00:36:33.280 is disciplining you in certain kinds of ways, then surely 669 00:36:33.760 --> 00:36:36.079 your husband wouldn't just be doing this for no reason, 670 00:36:36.280 --> 00:36:38.480 like you need it, you know what I mean. And 671 00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:41.840 so that's the Stockholm syndrome behind it. And I think 672 00:36:41.920 --> 00:36:46.599 that what essentially what religious and not even just Christianity, 673 00:36:46.639 --> 00:36:49.639 but a lot of religions are trying to teach is 674 00:36:49.679 --> 00:36:53.280 basically Stockholm syndrome. You know, like you're literally it says 675 00:36:53.280 --> 00:36:57.119 in the Bible that God sees you as unclean rags. Okay, 676 00:36:57.239 --> 00:36:59.760 you're you're born a center, you're unclean rags, and you're 677 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:01.719 ever You're going to go straight to hell unless you 678 00:37:01.760 --> 00:37:05.159 accept Jesus as your savior. If that's not Stockholm syndrome, 679 00:37:05.239 --> 00:37:08.239 I don't know what is right. Because if you know 680 00:37:08.559 --> 00:37:12.039 that you have that inner spark inside of you, that damon, 681 00:37:12.199 --> 00:37:16.559 that higher self, that whatever that is, that nosis, then 682 00:37:17.000 --> 00:37:19.000 you're gonna be like, no, get out of here with that. 683 00:37:19.440 --> 00:37:21.920 But the amount of Stockholm syndrome and the amount of 684 00:37:22.000 --> 00:37:27.159 like I mean, just hammering is you know. Unfortunately, that's 685 00:37:27.239 --> 00:37:29.800 just I in my belief, I believe that that's what happened. 686 00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:31.639 I'm not gonna say that that's what is happened. I 687 00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:32.119 don't know what. 688 00:37:32.199 --> 00:37:35.400 I don't know, but my my damon says that that's correct. 689 00:37:35.719 --> 00:37:38.280 Right, makes sense. 690 00:37:38.119 --> 00:37:41.920 To Yeah, So where were we? All right? 691 00:37:42.039 --> 00:37:45.719 So uh now we're gonna get to Carl Jung and 692 00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:48.719 what he talked about with the damon so YOUNGI. In 693 00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:52.679 psychology and the damon, Carl Jung wasn't afraid to borrow 694 00:37:52.760 --> 00:37:55.360 from the old world. He saw the damon as a 695 00:37:55.480 --> 00:37:58.519 symbol of the self, the totality of the conscious and 696 00:37:58.679 --> 00:38:03.000 unconscious mind. Carl Jung called it the inner guide that 697 00:38:03.119 --> 00:38:07.840 services during shadow work, dreams, and spiritual crisises. The damon 698 00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:13.880 in young In YOUNGI in terms appears as synchronicities, symbolic dreams, 699 00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:18.119 or even archetypes in taro or in myth. He encouraged 700 00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:23.400 people to dialogue with it, like in active imagination, where 701 00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:26.400 you converse with parts of your psyche. The Damon might 702 00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:29.400 show up as a wise old man, a trickster, or 703 00:38:29.440 --> 00:38:33.719 even your future self to young ignoring your daemon led 704 00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:37.840 to a life of neurosis and self sabotage. Listening to it, 705 00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:41.079 on the other hand, was the path of individuation, the 706 00:38:41.119 --> 00:38:44.840 mystical union of ego and the soul. In this way, 707 00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:49.360 psychology becomes modern day alchemy, and the Damon is your 708 00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:50.599 philosopher's stone. 709 00:38:51.480 --> 00:38:55.400 Hmm, okay, that energenious man, All right. 710 00:38:55.360 --> 00:38:56.119 Yeah dude. 711 00:38:56.320 --> 00:38:59.199 So you see how it's on one right now, right, yeah, yeah, dude. 712 00:38:59.239 --> 00:39:01.519 And the way and thinking lately as far as like 713 00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:05.880 consciousness and the way our brain works, Like I understand 714 00:39:05.880 --> 00:39:08.440 that our brain is very complex and it's it's just 715 00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:13.679 an amazing machine. But I'm trying to understand that that 716 00:39:13.760 --> 00:39:17.760 connection when it comes to our mind and the spirit. 717 00:39:18.000 --> 00:39:22.320 You know, Carl Jung sounds like he's likes to talk 718 00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:25.280 about our own mind and the brain and the subconscious 719 00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:28.840 and everything else. But maybe that's where the connection is. 720 00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:30.760 I guess, you know. That's what I've been trying to 721 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:34.199 figure out for myself. Really, well, is it just mind 722 00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:37.599 or is it something that we just don't fully understand 723 00:39:37.599 --> 00:39:39.599 that connects our mind to the divine? 724 00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:41.159 No, no, it's not even mind. 725 00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:45.679 Mind is like lesser, so this would be your So 726 00:39:45.719 --> 00:39:48.079 your higher self is not your mind, you know what 727 00:39:48.079 --> 00:39:48.679 I mean, like. 728 00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:51.280 Something in the conscious and the subconscious. 729 00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:52.599 You know, there you go. 730 00:39:52.679 --> 00:39:56.119 So, yeah, the conscious mind is the mind that everybody 731 00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:58.159 knows and everybody talks about. Whenever you say the mind, 732 00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:01.719 you're talking about the conscious mind, right, the subconscious mind 733 00:40:02.000 --> 00:40:05.039 is you know. Even Dolores Cannon she used to say, look, 734 00:40:05.119 --> 00:40:08.400 I yeah, I mean, you know, she she started saying 735 00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:11.440 that these messages were coming through your subconscious mind. But 736 00:40:11.480 --> 00:40:14.840 she goes, that's not exactly the term that I'm looking for. 737 00:40:14.880 --> 00:40:16.400 She just didn't know what else to call it. And 738 00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:20.199 then she started talking about the higher self. So you 739 00:40:20.199 --> 00:40:23.280 know it it converted from subconscious to the higher self. 740 00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:26.519 Your subconscious is is more of kind of like your 741 00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:31.039 like you're programming if you really think about it like that. 742 00:40:31.840 --> 00:40:35.000 Oh okay, all right, yeah, I mean because I understood 743 00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:36.639 it like your your sub at least, this is how 744 00:40:36.719 --> 00:40:41.559 I understood your Your subconscious is the thing that notices everything, 745 00:40:41.639 --> 00:40:44.719 notices things that your conscious mind doesn't notice. And so 746 00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:47.360 that's why symbols and and you know, when you go 747 00:40:47.360 --> 00:40:50.480 into a past life progression, you'll get a certain experience 748 00:40:50.519 --> 00:40:54.000 depending on what your subconscious has seen and understands, you 749 00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:56.440 know what I mean, the part of your mind that 750 00:40:56.440 --> 00:40:59.000 that just gives you the messages, you know. And so 751 00:40:59.480 --> 00:41:01.320 it's like I I'm like stuck in the middle of 752 00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:03.599 is it just your mind or is it? Is it 753 00:41:03.719 --> 00:41:04.360 something more? 754 00:41:05.000 --> 00:41:05.199 You know? 755 00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:07.760 Yeah, it kind of reminds me of like in this 756 00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:09.360 is kind of like the image I'm getting in my 757 00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:11.719 mind is kind of like a if you if you 758 00:41:11.840 --> 00:41:16.039 put it in like neoplatonic terms, so you have the One, 759 00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:19.800 then the noos than the world soul, and then uh, 760 00:41:19.920 --> 00:41:22.440 the physical world, you know, and that's that's the one 761 00:41:22.480 --> 00:41:26.599 that's emanating on everything, and every single world or every 762 00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:29.880 single emanation is kind of like farther away from God 763 00:41:29.920 --> 00:41:32.119 but still connected, right, or farther away from the One 764 00:41:32.199 --> 00:41:34.400 but still connected. I almost look at it like this, 765 00:41:34.599 --> 00:41:38.920 like if we're talking about strictly you and your mind 766 00:41:38.960 --> 00:41:42.039 and your subconscious and your conscious mind, and uh, you 767 00:41:42.119 --> 00:41:44.400 want to also include the daemon. Let's just say the 768 00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:47.519 damon is your spirit. I mean essentially, that's that's what 769 00:41:47.559 --> 00:41:49.519 it would be called. If you're if you're trying to 770 00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:52.000 group it into like father, son and holy spirit, it 771 00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:55.800 would be the spirit, right, and so you know, if 772 00:41:55.840 --> 00:41:59.840 you look at it so essentially, the physical world would 773 00:41:59.880 --> 00:42:03.880 be your physical body, let's just say that, and the 774 00:42:04.039 --> 00:42:09.639 world soul would be your conscious mind. The noose would 775 00:42:09.719 --> 00:42:14.880 be your subconsciousness subconscious I guess, and maybe your your 776 00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:18.079 gaming would be so closely related to the one or 777 00:42:18.119 --> 00:42:19.880 so closely I don't know. Maybe I said that wrong, 778 00:42:20.199 --> 00:42:22.679 but either way, it's it's it all seems that like 779 00:42:23.119 --> 00:42:28.079 you have so many different modalities of what you call yourself. 780 00:42:28.519 --> 00:42:31.199 You have you know, your mind, your subconscious, your your 781 00:42:31.239 --> 00:42:35.440 conscious mind, your you know, your your spirit so to say, 782 00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:38.039 and your physical body. So essentially look at yourself like 783 00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:42.480 you have literally four yous, right, and and some some 784 00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:44.880 people like you know, every so often we like to 785 00:42:44.920 --> 00:42:46.880 mess up from time to time and and aid a 786 00:42:46.960 --> 00:42:50.119 cheeseburger or have you know, sex when we shouldn't be 787 00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:52.519 with this person or that person or whatever, you know, 788 00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:54.760 and that's more of like the physical you know, like 789 00:42:54.800 --> 00:42:58.199 that's that's used to coming to your animalistic mind in 790 00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:01.079 a sense. And then you know, when you're sitting in meditation, 791 00:43:01.280 --> 00:43:03.880 maybe that is right when because that's what I was 792 00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:07.320 saying that, you know, the the the daemon isn't It 793 00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:09.760 doesn't scream at you, It doesn't even doesn't even say 794 00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:11.159 anything loudly to you. 795 00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:12.639 It's more of the whisper. 796 00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:15.239 And if you think of that whisper, you know, that 797 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:20.400 divine consciousness of the daemon, then that would probably only 798 00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:25.239 happen like within meditation, during the dreaming, because that's the 799 00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:27.599 only time where you shut the fuck up for a 800 00:43:27.599 --> 00:43:28.679 little bit, you know. 801 00:43:28.880 --> 00:43:31.280 Yeah, yeah, And I guess when it comes to your mind, 802 00:43:31.440 --> 00:43:33.760 I guess we can talk about awareness, you know, because 803 00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:37.000 I've had time where I feel like I'm not seeing 804 00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:40.960 synchronicities as often, you know, maybe here and there, but 805 00:43:41.039 --> 00:43:43.840 definitely not as much as I have experienced in the past. 806 00:43:43.880 --> 00:43:47.400 And so when it comes to our mind, that's where 807 00:43:47.480 --> 00:43:50.280 the disconnect is. It's because it's just my my my 808 00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:52.679 level of awareness to it, you know what I mean. 809 00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:55.440 But the the ener genius or the you know, the 810 00:43:55.519 --> 00:43:58.920 damon is always there, you know, trying to show me things, 811 00:43:58.920 --> 00:44:01.320 but I'm just not paying attention. And so that's the 812 00:44:01.320 --> 00:44:02.159 part that gets in the way. 813 00:44:02.199 --> 00:44:04.840 I guess, Well, and that's what what was that Socrates? 814 00:44:04.880 --> 00:44:06.960 That was basically just like, look, I'm not going to 815 00:44:07.039 --> 00:44:10.800 go against my damon, Like my damon didn't do anything wrong, right, 816 00:44:10.960 --> 00:44:13.639 and so I'm not like I'll die before I go 817 00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:16.960 against that. And that's just your your soul's connection, you know, 818 00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:20.119 Jesus dying on the cross. That's essentially what that is 819 00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:22.920 is that he was like, you know, my damon or 820 00:44:23.119 --> 00:44:25.360 God if you want to put it that way, and 821 00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:28.719 you could probably even you know, interchangeably say God. In 822 00:44:28.760 --> 00:44:32.760 a sense, it's your connection. It's your you know, your 823 00:44:32.840 --> 00:44:35.480 your cell phone to God or something like that, you 824 00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:36.000 know what I mean. 825 00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:38.960 Yeah, well, well you know how it said that the 826 00:44:39.039 --> 00:44:41.960 damon was kind of neutral, you know what I'm saying. 827 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.360 I feel like there's times where, and I'm sure everyone 828 00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:47.840 has experienced this where you kind of talk down to 829 00:44:47.880 --> 00:44:49.800 yourself and you're kind of saying to yourself like, ah, 830 00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:51.199 you're a piece of shit, because you know you're not 831 00:44:51.280 --> 00:44:53.760 doing as much as you should, or maybe you did 832 00:44:53.760 --> 00:44:55.840 eat that cheeseburger and you're just kind of like talking 833 00:44:55.840 --> 00:44:57.960 shit to yourself. That can't beat your damon. 834 00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:00.239 Right, No, no, not at all. 835 00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:02.480 I don't think I don't think so anyway, not according 836 00:45:02.559 --> 00:45:05.239 to this, And that was only us. That was only 837 00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:09.079 one person's view calling it neutral. By the way, that 838 00:45:09.440 --> 00:45:14.000 was let's see, uh in Roman culture under figures like 839 00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:18.360 Cicero and Seneca, So in Latin it says it's still 840 00:45:18.400 --> 00:45:23.840 carried mostly positive or neutral connotations. So okay, okay, there's that. 841 00:45:25.440 --> 00:45:27.360 So anyway, let's get back to it over here. So 842 00:45:27.920 --> 00:45:31.920 now we're going to get into the damon equalling the 843 00:45:32.000 --> 00:45:36.079 higher self. So this is the golden thread weaving through 844 00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:39.960 it all. Your damon is not something else. It is you, 845 00:45:40.360 --> 00:45:43.639 stripped of illusion. It's the version of you that already 846 00:45:43.679 --> 00:45:47.039 remembers the mission, already forgives the past, and already loves 847 00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:50.280 the future. It's your soul's compass. When you're aligned, it 848 00:45:50.320 --> 00:45:53.840 feels like flow, like deja vus, like I was meant 849 00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:57.199 to be here. When you ignore it, it feels like resistance, 850 00:45:57.280 --> 00:46:00.320 chaos and repeating loops of failure. You'll hear it in 851 00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:03.639 your gut your dreams or in strange synchronicities that seem 852 00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:07.280 to tug at your awareness. The damon may also be 853 00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:10.440 your genius, as the Romans called it, the spark of 854 00:46:10.480 --> 00:46:14.920 brilliance in art, invention or epiphany. When you create something 855 00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:17.920 that feels like it came from a deeper place, that's 856 00:46:17.960 --> 00:46:22.199 your damon showing up. You're not being possessed, you're being revealed. 857 00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:25.079 Wow. So even those people that don't like to take 858 00:46:25.119 --> 00:46:27.840 credit for their music that they wrote or you know, 859 00:46:27.920 --> 00:46:29.719 a script that they wrote, it's like, oh, it just 860 00:46:30.039 --> 00:46:31.800 it just came to me. You know that wasn't me. 861 00:46:32.280 --> 00:46:34.519 Oh maybe it was you know, just on a deeper 862 00:46:34.599 --> 00:46:35.599 level that you're not aware of. 863 00:46:36.039 --> 00:46:38.280 And look, if you don't want to align yourself with this, 864 00:46:38.360 --> 00:46:40.400 and you want to look at your higher self. 865 00:46:40.480 --> 00:46:41.800 And this is what a lot of people do. 866 00:46:42.000 --> 00:46:45.400 Like you think about like Electro Nick like his guides 867 00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:48.239 are the Pleaadians, Like, there's no way that could be him. 868 00:46:48.679 --> 00:46:49.280 Maybe it is. 869 00:46:49.519 --> 00:46:51.760 Maybe he just forgot that that was him or something 870 00:46:51.760 --> 00:46:55.000 along those lines. But you know, and some people will say, well, 871 00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:58.920 I'm talking to you know, my dead grandmother or you know, 872 00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:03.679 this was re Yukta schwar right, like from Autobiography of 873 00:47:03.719 --> 00:47:06.559 a Yogi and so and and maybe you want to 874 00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:08.440 just paint it as a different kind of figure or 875 00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:12.880 who was it, damn the roundtable guy that said we 876 00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:14.960 need to get every all those characters in our mind. 877 00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:18.639 Oh yes, Oh my god, dude, it's been so long. 878 00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:21.920 We need to get him back. Man, it's just ah fuck, 879 00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:24.559 such a great really bad. I feel really bad right now. 880 00:47:24.679 --> 00:47:26.079 I always can remember that guy's name. 881 00:47:26.119 --> 00:47:26.719 It starts with the N. 882 00:47:26.840 --> 00:47:30.000 I think it'll Nigel parent Nigel. So that's all I needed, dude, 883 00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:30.719 That's all I needed. 884 00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:35.239 But yeah, that's basically what he was saying, is like, 885 00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:38.000 you know, you get the roundtable of the people in 886 00:47:38.039 --> 00:47:40.519 your mind, do you want to have conversations with the 887 00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:45.039 the essentially versions of your higher self from different perspectives? 888 00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:47.800 And I mean maybe at that point you have five 889 00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:48.599 damons then. 890 00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:50.920 Right, I mean, because they would all be connected anyways, 891 00:47:50.920 --> 00:47:53.239 probably if we're all one on high level. 892 00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:53.920 Right. 893 00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:57.760 So, so yeah, that's the damon as the higher self. 894 00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:02.599 Now we're going to go to Damon versus demon the 895 00:48:02.639 --> 00:48:07.639 great inversion. So how did something so sacred become so feared? 896 00:48:07.960 --> 00:48:11.159 It all changed with the Christianization of the Roman Empire. 897 00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:15.840 Pagan's spiritual concepts like daemons were seen as competitors to 898 00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:19.559 the Church's control over the soul, so they were demonized. 899 00:48:19.760 --> 00:48:20.199 Literally. 900 00:48:20.679 --> 00:48:24.920 Augustine and others argued that all quote unquote pagan spirits 901 00:48:25.079 --> 00:48:29.679 were demons in disguise, tricksters luring people away from Christ. 902 00:48:30.079 --> 00:48:33.039 The daemon became a threat, even though it was originally 903 00:48:33.119 --> 00:48:38.239 a guide. This inversion wasn't accidental. It ensured that people 904 00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:42.000 would stop trusting their inner compass and instead rely on 905 00:48:42.119 --> 00:48:46.760 church authority. Over time, daemon became demon and all positive 906 00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:50.719 spiritual nuance was erased. This fear is still deeply embedded 907 00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:54.880 in Western culture. Many people think any inner voice is 908 00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:58.519 a temptation, when in fact it might just be their salvation. 909 00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:03.679 Something you need to hear. Man, shit, that's your guide. 910 00:49:03.719 --> 00:49:05.880 And look, I'm telling you, man, you start to if 911 00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:08.320 you start to really dwell on oh maybe maybe I 912 00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:10.320 have a demon. You know, you really start to dwell 913 00:49:10.320 --> 00:49:12.719 on that, you you will manifest that. I think you 914 00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:15.280 can cause a lot of anxiety and stress. And then 915 00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:18.760 before you know it, man, you're causing disease and you're sick, 916 00:49:18.840 --> 00:49:20.679 and you know what, I mean, and then you're possessed 917 00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:22.280 basically at that point. 918 00:49:22.519 --> 00:49:23.239 Yeah, exactly. 919 00:49:23.519 --> 00:49:26.159 I mean, you know, our thoughts can literally take on 920 00:49:26.199 --> 00:49:28.840 a mind of their own, and you let that snowball 921 00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:31.320 effect happen. By the end of the day, you got 922 00:49:31.320 --> 00:49:34.760 a fucking you know, a super huge boulder that is 923 00:49:34.920 --> 00:49:35.800 just on your back. 924 00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:39.039 But the good news is is you can exercise that 925 00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:41.719 demon yourself, you know, and get rid of it. 926 00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:45.679 Yes you can, Yes you can. So uh so, how 927 00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:46.960 to work. 928 00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:49.840 With your damon? We're going to get right into that now, Okay. 929 00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:52.880 So to work with your damon, you must first make 930 00:49:52.960 --> 00:49:57.360 space for it. This means silence, reflection, shadow work. The 931 00:49:57.360 --> 00:50:01.119 demon doesn't scream, It whispers, and if you're always distracted 932 00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:03.960 or numbing it out, you'll never hear it. Start by 933 00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:07.559 asking this, what part of me feels ancient? What part 934 00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:10.840 of me already knows the answer? This is not about 935 00:50:10.920 --> 00:50:16.719 rational thinking. It's about resonance practices like dream journaling, active imagination, 936 00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:21.960 tarot or oracle work, deep meditation, or creative flow states 937 00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:26.440 like in music, art writing, whatever your artistic thing is, 938 00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:29.280 to where you can get in that flow state. These 939 00:50:29.320 --> 00:50:33.800 are all open portals for your damon to emerge. Treat 940 00:50:33.800 --> 00:50:35.000 it like a sacred ally. 941 00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:35.920 Give it a name. 942 00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:37.559 If one arises, let it. 943 00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:42.440 Show you where you've betrayed yourself, not to punish, but 944 00:50:42.519 --> 00:50:46.440 to liberate. When the damon is integrated, you no longer 945 00:50:46.480 --> 00:50:49.679 need to ask anyone else who you are. You know, 946 00:50:50.280 --> 00:50:52.000 you remember and you return. 947 00:50:52.800 --> 00:50:56.360 M Dude, when you're in that creative flow, dude, and 948 00:50:56.360 --> 00:50:59.280 you're doing that thing that that you're I mean, call 949 00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:01.480 it your gift if it's easy for you to do 950 00:51:01.800 --> 00:51:03.960 for no reason at all. Of course, maybe you practiced 951 00:51:03.960 --> 00:51:06.280 at it or what have you. But when when you're 952 00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:08.360 in the zone, dude, and your all of your awareness 953 00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:11.880 is on that one thing, man, So it's so nice. 954 00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:14.559 It's a peaceful place, man, it's your happy place. 955 00:51:14.519 --> 00:51:17.480 Oh dude, when you fully commit to something and you 956 00:51:17.519 --> 00:51:21.280 know nothing in the world, like literally nothing else in 957 00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:26.679 the world is happening outside of the bubble of whatever 958 00:51:26.719 --> 00:51:29.280 you got going on right there with you is going 959 00:51:29.320 --> 00:51:32.840 on in the treehouse, oh dude. Like that's yeah, you're 960 00:51:32.920 --> 00:51:35.480 narrowing in, you know what I mean. And that's the 961 00:51:35.519 --> 00:51:36.880 flow state, because. 962 00:51:36.599 --> 00:51:39.599 That's the flame of the candle, dude, exactly too. 963 00:51:40.119 --> 00:51:42.159 Yeah, and so that's what you know people will say 964 00:51:42.239 --> 00:51:45.199 is that, you know, the only the present moment matters. 965 00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:47.440 There's no such thing as the past, there's no such 966 00:51:47.519 --> 00:51:49.880 thing as the future. And if you can finally convince 967 00:51:49.920 --> 00:51:52.480 yourself of that, that's essentially what's going on in the 968 00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:54.440 flow state. You're not worried about what's going on in 969 00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:56.000 the past, You're not worried about what's going on in 970 00:51:56.039 --> 00:51:56.440 the future. 971 00:51:56.480 --> 00:51:58.639 You're not even worried about what's going about time in general. 972 00:51:58.719 --> 00:52:00.800 Dude, you're not worried about what's going on in the 973 00:52:00.840 --> 00:52:03.119 other room, you know what I mean? Like, you're so 974 00:52:03.639 --> 00:52:06.159 into that flow state, and that's what they're saying that 975 00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:10.000 that's where you know, that flow state is the damon Essentially. 976 00:52:10.000 --> 00:52:12.559 That's where it's time to start having that conversation, you know, 977 00:52:12.599 --> 00:52:14.000 when you get to that quiet place. 978 00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:16.039 I love it, dude, Yes, yes, so. 979 00:52:16.400 --> 00:52:16.639 Uh. 980 00:52:16.800 --> 00:52:22.440 Demon damon's have popped up in pop culture, as as 981 00:52:22.480 --> 00:52:27.320 many people have told us here his in his dark materials, 982 00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:31.119 people's souls live outside them in the form of talking 983 00:52:31.280 --> 00:52:32.239 animal damons. 984 00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:33.000 Uh. 985 00:52:33.079 --> 00:52:36.519 In The Exorcist, the fear of possession is the shadow 986 00:52:36.599 --> 00:52:40.719 inversion of that of that same archetype, suggesting how closely 987 00:52:40.840 --> 00:52:45.119 linked guidance and fear. Truly are movies like Donnie Darko 988 00:52:45.440 --> 00:52:47.159 Fight Club shout out one of the best movies of 989 00:52:47.199 --> 00:52:50.320 all time, and even the Oa gets a shout out 990 00:52:50.320 --> 00:52:54.000 in this one. Oh really show characters confronting forces that 991 00:52:54.119 --> 00:52:58.320 seem like their other but are really inner aspects uh 992 00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:02.199 Damons in disguise. These stories show us what happens when 993 00:53:02.199 --> 00:53:06.119 we suppress or engage that inner guide. Even superheroes often 994 00:53:06.119 --> 00:53:12.400 fit this mold Spider Man Spidery Sense, Luke Skywalker's Jedi intuition. 995 00:53:13.039 --> 00:53:16.559 These are all echoes of the damon idea, buried under 996 00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:20.159 layers of fiction. Our modern myths still remember even when 997 00:53:20.199 --> 00:53:21.199 we forget. 998 00:53:22.239 --> 00:53:27.199 That's other creatives tapping into that divine force if you will, 999 00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:29.039 you know, and just kind of putting it into their 1000 00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:30.280 art because it's there. 1001 00:53:30.400 --> 00:53:33.519 Dude, Yeah, well they pulled force, they got into that 1002 00:53:33.559 --> 00:53:34.440 flow state, you know. 1003 00:53:34.519 --> 00:53:35.519 That's right, that's right. 1004 00:53:36.119 --> 00:53:41.320 So now we're going to get into Alan Watts of course, 1005 00:53:41.360 --> 00:53:45.320 had to get up in this conversation. His quote is 1006 00:53:45.559 --> 00:53:48.079 you don't come into this world, you come out of it, 1007 00:53:48.360 --> 00:53:49.679 like away from the ocean. 1008 00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:51.239 You're not a stranger here. 1009 00:53:53.280 --> 00:53:55.880 So yeah, we're gonna use we're gonna use this idea 1010 00:53:56.039 --> 00:54:00.159 essentially kind of building off of this to show everybody 1011 00:54:00.199 --> 00:54:03.119 that we are not separate from divinity, in that the 1012 00:54:03.199 --> 00:54:07.960 damon is an echo of our true origin. So what 1013 00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:11.440 is a damon? According to Carl Jung, this is his 1014 00:54:11.840 --> 00:54:14.239 one of his quotes. In each of us, there is 1015 00:54:14.280 --> 00:54:17.960 another whom that we do not know. He speaks to 1016 00:54:18.039 --> 00:54:20.880 us in dreams and tells us how differently he sees 1017 00:54:21.000 --> 00:54:23.039 us from the way that we see ourselves. 1018 00:54:24.239 --> 00:54:26.719 That's cool. Of course, Young was on a day. 1019 00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:31.440 Of course, another quote from Alan Watts to go out 1020 00:54:31.440 --> 00:54:35.559 of your mind once a day is tremendously important because 1021 00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:39.199 going out of your mind you come to you come 1022 00:54:39.239 --> 00:54:42.039 to your senses, or because by going out of mind 1023 00:54:42.039 --> 00:54:42.960 you come to your senses. 1024 00:54:43.079 --> 00:54:43.559 I love it. 1025 00:54:43.920 --> 00:54:46.719 Just make sure to come back to you know it's balanced. Yeah, 1026 00:54:46.800 --> 00:54:49.039 I mean sometimes you get to eat, you know, I 1027 00:54:49.119 --> 00:54:52.559 love it. So now we're going to get to Socrates 1028 00:54:52.599 --> 00:54:58.679 and Plato's a couple of their quotes here. So Socrates said, 1029 00:54:58.960 --> 00:55:02.360 a divine or spiritual voice, which began when I was 1030 00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:05.079 a child, it always forbids me to do something that 1031 00:55:05.159 --> 00:55:07.599 I am going to do, but never commands me to 1032 00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:08.800 do anything. 1033 00:55:09.199 --> 00:55:12.000 Just a little warning shot, you know, little office pop. 1034 00:55:12.519 --> 00:55:18.480 Yeah. Plato, another quote from him, Everything daimonic is between 1035 00:55:19.000 --> 00:55:23.159 divine and mortal. Yeah, it's that connection, bridge connection. Yeah, 1036 00:55:23.199 --> 00:55:26.400 it's the fucking rainbow bridge all day. So this, and 1037 00:55:26.719 --> 00:55:30.000 it even says this clearly defines the damon as a 1038 00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:35.239 bridge or intermediary, reinforcing the whole concept of the show. 1039 00:55:35.320 --> 00:55:35.599 Really. 1040 00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:40.599 So now we're going to get to neoplatonism. So you 1041 00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:43.360 got and we've talked about a couple of these names 1042 00:55:43.360 --> 00:55:45.679 in neoplatonism, but the third one we haven't really brought 1043 00:55:45.760 --> 00:55:46.320 up too much. 1044 00:55:46.599 --> 00:55:47.199 So you have. 1045 00:55:48.760 --> 00:55:52.679 Plato, Platinus, and then Proclus which is a new name 1046 00:55:52.719 --> 00:55:57.039 to me, but a couple of quotes from Platinus, who 1047 00:55:57.159 --> 00:56:02.000 was essentially like the father of neoplatonism. So he says, 1048 00:56:02.239 --> 00:56:04.920 we are always what we are, but we do not 1049 00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:10.199 always know it. To be a man is to be forgetful. Wow, 1050 00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:12.559 So to be human essentially is to be forgetful. 1051 00:56:13.079 --> 00:56:13.639 Holy shit. 1052 00:56:13.840 --> 00:56:18.000 Another quote of Platinus, he goes, withdraw into yourself and look, 1053 00:56:18.280 --> 00:56:21.159 and if you do not find yourself beautiful, yet act 1054 00:56:21.360 --> 00:56:24.880 as as does the creator of a statue that is 1055 00:56:24.960 --> 00:56:28.440 to be made beautiful. He cuts away here, he smooths 1056 00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:31.639 there until a god like splendor is revealed. 1057 00:56:31.880 --> 00:56:34.880 Ha ha, that's cool. That is pretty cool. 1058 00:56:35.039 --> 00:56:39.119 So it says this is practically a manual for damon work, 1059 00:56:39.280 --> 00:56:43.960 inner refinement to match divine essence. And then of course 1060 00:56:43.960 --> 00:56:47.719 you got a quote by Proclus. His quote is each 1061 00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:51.039 of us has within us the god given power of 1062 00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:55.599 spiritual assent. The daemon is the link between our soul 1063 00:56:55.760 --> 00:56:59.960 and its divine source that somehow got turned to de. 1064 00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:03.360 Yep, of course, dud of course. 1065 00:57:03.679 --> 00:57:06.360 Oh man, that's all right. We're here to write some 1066 00:57:06.400 --> 00:57:06.960 of the wrongs. 1067 00:57:07.000 --> 00:57:09.840 That's what we're trying, man, We're trying to figure it out. 1068 00:57:10.480 --> 00:57:13.679 So now we're going to get into gnostic and Hermetic parallels. 1069 00:57:13.840 --> 00:57:17.800 So in the Hermetic text called Corpus Hermeticum, the first 1070 00:57:18.800 --> 00:57:22.840 first edition, I think that says within it, within man 1071 00:57:23.000 --> 00:57:26.320 is the noose the divine reason, which can lead the 1072 00:57:26.360 --> 00:57:29.159 soul back to the divine world if purified. 1073 00:57:29.719 --> 00:57:34.599 That's the news that we're constantly filling the need to contemplate. 1074 00:57:35.360 --> 00:57:39.119 Oh shit, we got a quote from something to figure out, dude. Yeah, 1075 00:57:39.199 --> 00:57:41.480 so we got a quote from Dolores Cannon in here. 1076 00:57:41.880 --> 00:57:44.440 Oh all right, this is from her book called Between 1077 00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:48.840 Death and Life Highly highly suggests everybody read this book 1078 00:57:49.199 --> 00:57:52.079 because it's not about between life and death. 1079 00:57:52.199 --> 00:57:53.480 It's between death and life. 1080 00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:57.960 So it's like, what happens once you die and what's 1081 00:57:58.000 --> 00:58:02.440 the in between window of one dead before you reincarnate. 1082 00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:05.119 Or go on to the next thing? Right, right, so cool? 1083 00:58:05.920 --> 00:58:08.920 But her quote from that book is, you are not 1084 00:58:09.159 --> 00:58:12.519 just a body with a soul. You're a soul experiencing 1085 00:58:12.760 --> 00:58:16.199 through a body. The higher self is the true self, 1086 00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:19.280 and it always knows what you need to learn. 1087 00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:22.039 Sometimes it'd be nice if it would just take over 1088 00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:24.920 a little more often, you know, it's so so much 1089 00:58:24.920 --> 00:58:27.559 hard work to access that sometimes. 1090 00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:30.239 Well, and that just goes back to I mean, how 1091 00:58:30.239 --> 00:58:33.599 often are we meditating? Because I and we do. We 1092 00:58:33.639 --> 00:58:35.760 fucking try and hammer this one home as often as 1093 00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:38.199 we can, and even we don't meditate as often as 1094 00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:38.639 we should. 1095 00:58:39.039 --> 00:58:40.760 But the more you meditate and. 1096 00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:43.639 The more you just quiet the mind and get back 1097 00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:46.480 to that level of awareness that knows and is guiding 1098 00:58:46.519 --> 00:58:49.840 you and is literally the spark of the whole. Right, 1099 00:58:50.239 --> 00:58:53.079 the more we quiet that down, I mean, maybe the 1100 00:58:53.559 --> 00:58:58.280 more frequent the synchronicities happen, and more frequent in alignment 1101 00:58:58.320 --> 00:59:02.480 that you feel. So yeah, But anyway, her quote here, 1102 00:59:03.280 --> 00:59:06.679 so her version of the damon is the higher self 1103 00:59:06.760 --> 00:59:11.039 that exists outside of time and space. Okay, so it's 1104 00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:12.760 on one dig it. 1105 00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:13.599 Uh. 1106 00:59:13.760 --> 00:59:16.719 Nextly, we're gonna go to a couple of quotes here 1107 00:59:16.719 --> 00:59:20.440 by Carl Jung. So in Young in Psychology and the Damon. 1108 00:59:21.119 --> 00:59:23.920 A quote by Carl Jung is, the self is a 1109 00:59:23.960 --> 00:59:27.760 circle whose center is the ego. The greater the circle 1110 00:59:27.800 --> 00:59:31.639 of the greater the circle of awareness, the closer one 1111 00:59:31.719 --> 00:59:36.280 moves toward the self. Okay, so all right, so your 1112 00:59:36.360 --> 00:59:39.039 your divine self essentially is what he's talking about. 1113 00:59:39.239 --> 00:59:43.039 Yeah, your true self, not the self that's masked with 1114 00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:45.320 the ego and and all the other bullshit. 1115 00:59:46.079 --> 00:59:50.320 Exactly. Yeah, so let's see we got here. Another one 1116 00:59:50.320 --> 00:59:56.519 from Carl Jung. The damon stands between the ego and 1117 00:59:56.599 --> 00:59:59.440 the self. If the ego refuses to hear it, the 1118 00:59:59.519 --> 01:00:04.320 damon becomes a devil. If the ego cooperates, the damon 1119 01:00:04.519 --> 01:00:06.119 becomes a guiding spirit. 1120 01:00:06.639 --> 01:00:09.519 That makes sense, dude, That makes sense because it does 1121 01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:12.119 feel you know, when you're when you don't feel quite 1122 01:00:12.320 --> 01:00:17.199 as connected to that divine source or or you know 1123 01:00:17.199 --> 01:00:20.159 what I mean. You know, ultimately you're connected, but then 1124 01:00:20.199 --> 01:00:22.639 you lose sight of that, you get distracted, and then 1125 01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:26.880 you start to see more obstacles, you know, things that 1126 01:00:26.920 --> 01:00:29.639 are making your life harder, and so ultimately it's just 1127 01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:34.440 a a dark or or a bad entity, you know 1128 01:00:34.800 --> 01:00:37.000 in that sense if you look at that way, I guess. 1129 01:00:36.920 --> 01:00:39.679 Oh, dude, I mean literally, what he's saying here is 1130 01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:46.519 that essentially anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, even suicide itself are 1131 01:00:46.599 --> 01:00:50.840 all the results of you not having more of a 1132 01:00:50.880 --> 01:00:54.239 connection to your own inner awareness, your own higher self, 1133 01:00:54.280 --> 01:00:57.280 your own damon and back in those terms, right, And 1134 01:00:57.760 --> 01:00:59.840 you can see it, dude, like how many people are 1135 01:01:00.280 --> 01:01:03.800 They're stuck in jobs they don't like, They're stuck in relationships. 1136 01:01:03.159 --> 01:01:03.800 They don't like. 1137 01:01:03.920 --> 01:01:06.880 They they don't have good relationships with their kids or 1138 01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:11.000 their friends or anything. They're just completely lost. Right, you 1139 01:01:11.039 --> 01:01:15.360 think about like midlife crisises and whatnot. It's like all 1140 01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:18.639 of that is really transpiring because it's been so long 1141 01:01:19.400 --> 01:01:22.800 that that like, you haven't connected with your own inner 1142 01:01:22.920 --> 01:01:25.920 divinity that ultimately connects you to the whole of everything. 1143 01:01:26.360 --> 01:01:29.480 Right that you know you've lost You know that that 1144 01:01:29.559 --> 01:01:33.400 inner spark that that light has gotten so dim that 1145 01:01:33.440 --> 01:01:35.039 it's barely even there anymore. 1146 01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:37.559 And those are the sort of things that I would 1147 01:01:37.559 --> 01:01:41.119 be okay with labeling. If you must label it, I 1148 01:01:41.119 --> 01:01:43.280 would be okay with it being a demon. You know, 1149 01:01:43.400 --> 01:01:46.840 those negative thoughts, Those those the times you're talking shit 1150 01:01:46.960 --> 01:01:49.840 to yourself and you're no good, Like that's a demon. 1151 01:01:50.079 --> 01:01:54.159 You know, Yeah, exactly. And so how funny is that though? That, 1152 01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:57.880 like when you don't listen to your damon or damon, 1153 01:01:59.239 --> 01:02:03.519 that that's whenever a demon appears, right, I mean essentially, 1154 01:02:03.559 --> 01:02:06.039 not literally, but essentially that's kind of what's going on. 1155 01:02:06.360 --> 01:02:09.280 You know, like your your life is dark and gloomy. 1156 01:02:09.719 --> 01:02:10.960 You're having thoughts. 1157 01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:11.840 That you don't want to have. 1158 01:02:12.360 --> 01:02:15.320 You know, you're you're talking shit about yourself at literally 1159 01:02:15.360 --> 01:02:18.320 every moment of the day, burying yourself even deeper than 1160 01:02:18.320 --> 01:02:20.599 you already are with you know, in the previous moment, 1161 01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:23.480 like that's hell, that's where demons live. 1162 01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:25.599 And then you get addicted to that, you know what 1163 01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:27.639 I mean. I've heard I forget who it was that 1164 01:02:27.760 --> 01:02:30.840 was speaking on this, but they were saying that you 1165 01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:33.760 get addicted to those negative emotions. Once you get that 1166 01:02:33.800 --> 01:02:38.280 ball rolling, it's almost like it just creates this, uh, 1167 01:02:38.360 --> 01:02:41.320 I don't know, just this habit or this addiction to 1168 01:02:41.320 --> 01:02:45.840 to feeling those negative emotions and and putting yourself through 1169 01:02:45.840 --> 01:02:48.440 that cycle, you know, and then that's why it's so 1170 01:02:48.519 --> 01:02:50.639 hard to get get rid of that. And so then 1171 01:02:50.880 --> 01:02:53.199 some might say you need an exorcism. 1172 01:02:53.360 --> 01:02:56.760 Probably you know, well, you find comfort in it because 1173 01:02:56.800 --> 01:03:00.679 it's it's so the known now, it's regular, Like that's 1174 01:03:00.880 --> 01:03:06.039 that's like comforting to you the shit talking on yourself 1175 01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:09.280 and belittling yourself and everything like that. And you think 1176 01:03:09.320 --> 01:03:12.599 about that, like if you're in alignment and you're doing 1177 01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:15.079 what you love doing and you love the people that 1178 01:03:15.119 --> 01:03:17.840 you're around, and every day you wake up, it's like, 1179 01:03:17.880 --> 01:03:20.239 oh my god, I get to do today again. How 1180 01:03:20.280 --> 01:03:23.079 awesome is that? Right, You're not going to be in 1181 01:03:23.119 --> 01:03:26.039 that headspace, you know, you're not going to be like 1182 01:03:26.119 --> 01:03:29.119 belittling yourself and talking shit about yourself and having anxiety 1183 01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:32.280 and having depression and feeling completely disconnected from not only 1184 01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:34.480 everybody around you, but from the source. 1185 01:03:34.280 --> 01:03:35.880 Of which you came, you know. 1186 01:03:36.079 --> 01:03:37.199 Dude. Yeah, man. 1187 01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:42.000 So one more quote here from Carl Jung. He goes, 1188 01:03:42.280 --> 01:03:45.239 the privilege of a lifetime is to become who you 1189 01:03:45.400 --> 01:03:51.400 truly are, which directly reflects damon integration and individuation. 1190 01:03:52.880 --> 01:03:55.320 Yeah, and it's probably easier when you get into that flow. 1191 01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:59.199 You know, everything just starts working out good exactly. 1192 01:03:59.480 --> 01:04:02.840 So I'm uh, here we go the Daemon equalling the 1193 01:04:02.880 --> 01:04:06.920 Higher Self through the words of Alan Watts and Dolores Cannon. 1194 01:04:07.000 --> 01:04:09.320 So Alan Watts, and I'm bringing up all these quotes 1195 01:04:09.360 --> 01:04:11.960 to just show you that, like, look, it wasn't just 1196 01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:15.599 a pagan thing, and it didn't necessarily die in you know, 1197 01:04:15.880 --> 01:04:21.320 uh by the creation of Christianity and stuff. The idea 1198 01:04:21.400 --> 01:04:24.599 of it has still carried on. People just renamed. 1199 01:04:24.199 --> 01:04:27.760 It essentially and was still very much understood by the 1200 01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:29.599 deepest of all thinkers. 1201 01:04:29.719 --> 01:04:32.559 Right, I mean, Carl Young called it the Self. Dolores 1202 01:04:32.639 --> 01:04:35.599 Cannon called it the Higher Self. Alan Watts, you know, 1203 01:04:35.719 --> 01:04:38.360 he just said, look, you were never separate from anything, 1204 01:04:38.480 --> 01:04:39.960 So why are you backing like you are? 1205 01:04:40.760 --> 01:04:42.159 Right exactly, dude. 1206 01:04:42.280 --> 01:04:46.119 So Alan Watts a quote right here from his book 1207 01:04:46.199 --> 01:04:50.800 titled The Book He goes you are an aperture through 1208 01:04:50.840 --> 01:04:54.480 which the universe is looking at and exploring itself. Maybe 1209 01:04:54.480 --> 01:04:58.559 that's the Damon's view you. Dolores Cannon said, the higher 1210 01:04:58.559 --> 01:05:03.039 Self is always there whispering, guiding, but it will never interfere. 1211 01:05:03.199 --> 01:05:04.760 It waits for permission. 1212 01:05:05.360 --> 01:05:07.000 Oh right. 1213 01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:14.679 There, that's it. So damon versus demon the. 1214 01:05:16.159 --> 01:05:18.239 I feel like, did I already read this? No? 1215 01:05:18.440 --> 01:05:20.440 Okay, another game. We got a bunch of quotes from 1216 01:05:20.440 --> 01:05:21.800 Carl Young and Alan Wats. 1217 01:05:21.559 --> 01:05:22.119 For some reason. 1218 01:05:22.400 --> 01:05:23.880 I mean, I'm not I'm not complaining. 1219 01:05:24.840 --> 01:05:28.280 So another quote from Carl Young, he goes, the reason 1220 01:05:28.320 --> 01:05:30.360 for evil in the world is that people are not 1221 01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:34.320 able to tell their stories from his book titled Memories, 1222 01:05:34.400 --> 01:05:38.159 Dreams and Reflections, and so essentially you can kind of 1223 01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:41.519 use this quote to imply that the daemon was demonized 1224 01:05:41.559 --> 01:05:46.039 because its truth was suppressed. When we lose our mythic memory, 1225 01:05:46.320 --> 01:05:48.519 we turn guides into monsters. 1226 01:05:49.039 --> 01:05:53.119 M damn fear dude. 1227 01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:54.199 Yeah, it is. 1228 01:05:54.559 --> 01:05:57.639 Start hearing a voice telling you some stuff, You're like, oh, 1229 01:05:57.719 --> 01:05:58.199 what is that? 1230 01:05:58.360 --> 01:06:00.719 I always found it very strange that anytime you talk 1231 01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:03.519 to a religious person, you go into some kind of 1232 01:06:03.599 --> 01:06:06.519 religious or spiritual type of experience, it's. 1233 01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:07.119 Always a demon. 1234 01:06:07.719 --> 01:06:07.920 You know. 1235 01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:11.199 It's never an angel, it's never God, it's. 1236 01:06:11.079 --> 01:06:14.159 Never Jesus, it's always it's always what it has to 1237 01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:17.360 be because you didn't ask Jesus or you didn't ask 1238 01:06:17.480 --> 01:06:19.639 literally God, And why would you ask God? You're not 1239 01:06:19.679 --> 01:06:21.559 even a Christian, you know what I mean? Like kind 1240 01:06:21.559 --> 01:06:25.760 of deal. So that's sad. But anyway, Alan watts a 1241 01:06:25.840 --> 01:06:29.519 quote here he goes, the devils are in the deep unconscious, 1242 01:06:29.880 --> 01:06:33.039 not because they're evil, but because they're forgotten. 1243 01:06:33.800 --> 01:06:36.639 Okay, essentially, Yeah, the shadow work. 1244 01:06:36.840 --> 01:06:37.440 Yeah, that's it. 1245 01:06:38.880 --> 01:06:43.719 So working with your demon or Damon rather sorry, Dolorus 1246 01:06:43.760 --> 01:06:47.119 Cannon said, ask, That's all it takes. Just ask and 1247 01:06:47.159 --> 01:06:51.239 be open. The higher self can only guide if you listen. 1248 01:06:51.599 --> 01:06:55.760 This this I firmly believe, dude. Wherever this is coming from, 1249 01:06:55.840 --> 01:06:59.079 obviously we don't know. But I did have a really 1250 01:06:59.239 --> 01:07:02.079 crazy experience in some one time where I was actually 1251 01:07:02.320 --> 01:07:05.719 and I think we had just interviewed Cassandra and she 1252 01:07:05.800 --> 01:07:09.519 was saying about asking, asking for your guides, you know, 1253 01:07:09.599 --> 01:07:12.440 and actually opening up that communication. And as soon as 1254 01:07:12.480 --> 01:07:15.760 I did, within I don't know, ten seconds, dude, that 1255 01:07:15.800 --> 01:07:17.719 was when I had that weird bow like it was 1256 01:07:17.760 --> 01:07:20.559 a flash that I saw while my eyes were closed. 1257 01:07:21.280 --> 01:07:23.920 And so I mean, as soon as you open that up, 1258 01:07:23.960 --> 01:07:25.320 and a lot of people and even a lot of 1259 01:07:25.559 --> 01:07:27.800 religious people would tell you. You know, you just got 1260 01:07:27.800 --> 01:07:30.360 to open yourself up to it, you know. And so 1261 01:07:30.920 --> 01:07:34.199 it's the same supernatural force that everyone's talking about. It's 1262 01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:37.760 just got different labels and different understandings, and you know, 1263 01:07:37.840 --> 01:07:39.960 it's all the same thing. We're all part of it. 1264 01:07:40.039 --> 01:07:43.000 And that's what it was saying earlier that it essentially 1265 01:07:43.119 --> 01:07:47.519 will feel like an epiphany moment, you know why you 1266 01:07:47.599 --> 01:07:48.519 become open to it. 1267 01:07:49.519 --> 01:07:52.199 Yeah, dude, it was. It was a pretty It scared 1268 01:07:52.199 --> 01:07:53.800 the shit out of me, dude. At first, it was 1269 01:07:53.880 --> 01:07:55.559 just like bow like a you know when you turn 1270 01:07:55.599 --> 01:07:57.719 on the light and the light bulb burns out and 1271 01:07:57.760 --> 01:07:59.800 it's like like that. But it was right here in 1272 01:07:59.840 --> 01:08:02.239 my I you know. And I remember calling you the 1273 01:08:02.239 --> 01:08:04.840 next day and I was like, dude, the craziest thing happened, 1274 01:08:04.880 --> 01:08:07.280 you know. And yeah, I mean I know that wasn't 1275 01:08:07.400 --> 01:08:10.360 just my mind playing tricks on me, because I mean 1276 01:08:10.360 --> 01:08:13.280 I wasn't asleep or anything. I was fully consciously aware, 1277 01:08:14.039 --> 01:08:17.039 and this thing just happened like I was having an experience. 1278 01:08:17.119 --> 01:08:19.319 And I had another experience just recently do where it 1279 01:08:19.319 --> 01:08:22.399 looked like light was coming out of my chest and 1280 01:08:22.439 --> 01:08:24.319 I could see it real briefly, Dude, and I was like, 1281 01:08:24.359 --> 01:08:28.760 whoa like a bright light? Oh yeah, who knows who 1282 01:08:28.800 --> 01:08:32.720 that is, but it's it's yeah yeah. 1283 01:08:32.840 --> 01:08:35.680 Oh, by the way, remind me once we're kind of 1284 01:08:35.720 --> 01:08:39.640 through reading all this to talk about my experience at 1285 01:08:39.680 --> 01:08:44.800 bro Grove, oh and my psychedelic experience because yeah, wild dude. 1286 01:08:45.760 --> 01:08:45.960 Yeah. 1287 01:08:46.479 --> 01:08:49.800 But anyway, all right, so yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, here's 1288 01:08:49.840 --> 01:08:52.319 another quote by Carl Jung. He goes, if you do 1289 01:08:52.439 --> 01:08:55.600 not speak to your damon, it will speak to you 1290 01:08:55.720 --> 01:08:56.560 as fate. 1291 01:08:58.079 --> 01:08:58.600 Hmm. 1292 01:08:58.800 --> 01:09:04.640 Oh that's a good interesting yeah. Essentially, like you know, 1293 01:09:04.680 --> 01:09:06.680 people are like, oh, well, you know, that's just that's 1294 01:09:06.760 --> 01:09:09.520 that's as fatal have it, you know, like, that's just 1295 01:09:09.800 --> 01:09:14.279 that's just my that's my destiny, you know, destined to 1296 01:09:14.840 --> 01:09:17.439 be a seek like a C plus kind of human, 1297 01:09:17.800 --> 01:09:21.640 you know or whatever. And it's like, well, yeah, because 1298 01:09:21.680 --> 01:09:25.399 you're not listening to you know, the inner higher self, 1299 01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:28.239 the damon, right m hm. And that's the one thing 1300 01:09:28.239 --> 01:09:30.279 I wanted to hit on real quick. I was gonna 1301 01:09:30.279 --> 01:09:32.079 say it earlier, but as far as when you're in 1302 01:09:32.119 --> 01:09:35.279 that cycle of talking shit to yourself, and and the 1303 01:09:35.319 --> 01:09:37.479 reason another reason why I think it's kind of uh, 1304 01:09:37.600 --> 01:09:39.399 you get kind of addicted to it and you just 1305 01:09:39.439 --> 01:09:42.800 continue to do that is because you're you're basically just 1306 01:09:42.920 --> 01:09:45.880 lowering your own bar like as low as it can go. 1307 01:09:46.319 --> 01:09:49.199 And I mean, now everything is just it's easy because 1308 01:09:49.319 --> 01:09:52.159 failure is okay, you know, and not doing well is 1309 01:09:52.199 --> 01:09:55.239 okay because of course you know, this is this is 1310 01:09:55.239 --> 01:09:55.840 who I am. 1311 01:09:56.159 --> 01:09:58.960 I suck, you know what I mean? Oh yeah, yeah, 1312 01:09:59.359 --> 01:10:00.880 so you flip it on its head and now your 1313 01:10:00.880 --> 01:10:03.840 bar goes up. Now you have to rise to that occasion, 1314 01:10:04.279 --> 01:10:04.640 you know. 1315 01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:07.720 Right, right, And we've all been there to where like 1316 01:10:07.800 --> 01:10:10.920 we just kind of find solace in beating up ourselves. 1317 01:10:10.960 --> 01:10:13.560 So nobody else can say anything like Eminem did it great? 1318 01:10:13.560 --> 01:10:16.880 And n eight mile right, it's like yes trash and 1319 01:10:16.960 --> 01:10:19.319 yes my mom, did you know steal my car or whatever? 1320 01:10:20.199 --> 01:10:20.399 Right? 1321 01:10:21.600 --> 01:10:23.680 That's you know, and there's there's some piece in. 1322 01:10:23.640 --> 01:10:25.760 That which even even if you think about it, like 1323 01:10:26.159 --> 01:10:29.199 what a wild creation or what a wild existence that 1324 01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:32.800 you can even find peace and destruction of your mind 1325 01:10:33.159 --> 01:10:38.399 of yourself dude, Yeah, pretty wild. So yeah, just going 1326 01:10:38.439 --> 01:10:40.239 back to this young end quote, if you do not 1327 01:10:40.319 --> 01:10:42.880 speak to your damon, it will speak to you as fate. 1328 01:10:43.760 --> 01:10:46.319 It says, this is gold, and it perfectly describes the 1329 01:10:46.319 --> 01:10:49.520 inner voice becoming outer chaos when ignored. 1330 01:10:50.279 --> 01:10:50.560 Yep. 1331 01:10:51.640 --> 01:10:55.520 One uh a quote right here by Proclus he goes, 1332 01:10:55.800 --> 01:10:58.600 when the soul lives in harmony with its damon, it 1333 01:10:58.680 --> 01:11:01.279 fulfills its divine image on earth. 1334 01:11:03.600 --> 01:11:03.920 Damn. 1335 01:11:04.239 --> 01:11:04.760 That's solid. 1336 01:11:04.960 --> 01:11:05.439 I like it. 1337 01:11:07.159 --> 01:11:10.600 Here we go, won by Alan Watts again, myth is 1338 01:11:10.640 --> 01:11:15.239 a mirror. We recognize the images because they all let 1339 01:11:15.279 --> 01:11:19.039 me just reread that. We recognize the images because they 1340 01:11:19.159 --> 01:11:26.119 are already within us. So yeah, pretty freaking sweet. Oh 1341 01:11:26.239 --> 01:11:28.279 here we go. Now we're going to get to it. 1342 01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:32.039 So I figured, you know, since it was kind of 1343 01:11:32.119 --> 01:11:36.880 literally demonized within Christianity, why don't we hear a couple 1344 01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:39.439 of quotes from Jesus, possibly. 1345 01:11:39.159 --> 01:11:41.039 Referring I was gonna ask you about that, but I 1346 01:11:41.079 --> 01:11:42.880 didn't know if you had anything loaded up for that. 1347 01:11:43.840 --> 01:11:49.079 Jesus on the inner guide the damon as christ consciousness, 1348 01:11:50.000 --> 01:11:53.880 of course, yep, okay. So in Luke chapter seventeen, verses 1349 01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:56.680 twenty through twenty one, it says, the Kingdom of God 1350 01:11:56.760 --> 01:12:01.079 cometh not with observation, neither shall they say look here 1351 01:12:01.319 --> 01:12:04.880 or look there, for behold, the Kingdom of God is 1352 01:12:04.920 --> 01:12:05.399 within you. 1353 01:12:06.800 --> 01:12:07.800 That's a Jesus quote. 1354 01:12:09.119 --> 01:12:11.760 So the interpretation of it is that this is one 1355 01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:16.039 of Jesus's clearest affirmations that divine truth is not external, 1356 01:12:16.159 --> 01:12:21.600 it is internal. The kingdom within is is essentially like 1357 01:12:21.720 --> 01:12:25.840 what and what to the damon your divine core guiding 1358 01:12:25.880 --> 01:12:28.000 you back to God. 1359 01:12:29.000 --> 01:12:31.479 Makes sense, dude, as far as you know, you can't 1360 01:12:31.560 --> 01:12:34.600 really look at any of this with a logical mind, 1361 01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:36.359 you know. And that's one thing that I hear a 1362 01:12:36.359 --> 01:12:38.279 lot is you know, well, you can't think about it, 1363 01:12:38.439 --> 01:12:40.680 you know, because I'll ask questions to people that are religious, 1364 01:12:40.720 --> 01:12:44.119 and the same answer that I get is like, you 1365 01:12:44.159 --> 01:12:47.000 can't think about it logically, you know. And so it 1366 01:12:47.079 --> 01:12:50.279 makes sense that everybody kind of has their own their 1367 01:12:50.319 --> 01:12:53.600 own way of doing things and understanding things through their 1368 01:12:53.680 --> 01:12:56.159 experiences and what have you. You know what I mean, 1369 01:12:56.600 --> 01:12:59.279 if if you try to explain any of that logically, 1370 01:13:00.039 --> 01:13:03.079 you're not really gonna You're not You're never gonna fully understand. 1371 01:13:03.880 --> 01:13:06.720 And there's logical ways of looking at this, you know 1372 01:13:06.720 --> 01:13:10.800 what I'm saying, Like I don't know. I mean, that's 1373 01:13:10.840 --> 01:13:13.319 a whole other kind of mind that you got to 1374 01:13:13.319 --> 01:13:17.239 get into to like blindly follow and blindly believe don't 1375 01:13:17.239 --> 01:13:20.000 ask any questions, just trust the plan kind of thing. 1376 01:13:20.439 --> 01:13:22.039 I've never been one of those kind of people that 1377 01:13:22.119 --> 01:13:24.520 just goes along to get along, Like you know, We've 1378 01:13:24.560 --> 01:13:27.520 always been kind of the outcast that like asks questions 1379 01:13:28.039 --> 01:13:32.239 and and that's you know, that's obviously like why even 1380 01:13:32.279 --> 01:13:34.000 a lot of the one are here because we ask 1381 01:13:34.119 --> 01:13:38.760 questions were we're intuitive, we're in touch with whatever that 1382 01:13:39.039 --> 01:13:41.800 is within us that whenever we hear something to just 1383 01:13:41.880 --> 01:13:45.960 follow blindly, we're like why, like let me understand why, 1384 01:13:46.000 --> 01:13:49.359 Like I need to understand why this works or why 1385 01:13:49.439 --> 01:13:50.880 you're saying to do this kind. 1386 01:13:50.760 --> 01:13:53.079 Of thing, right right, well, I mean you're gonna ask 1387 01:13:53.119 --> 01:13:56.079 those questions and try to wonder. When someone comes up 1388 01:13:56.079 --> 01:13:57.560 to you and it's like hey, you know, just let 1389 01:13:57.640 --> 01:14:00.319 you know you're gonna go to hell, you know, it's like, right, well, 1390 01:14:00.439 --> 01:14:02.880 let me figure out why you think this and understand 1391 01:14:02.920 --> 01:14:04.720 it from myself exactly. 1392 01:14:05.640 --> 01:14:08.439 So then we got another one from John chapter fourteen, 1393 01:14:08.560 --> 01:14:11.560 verse twenty six. This is another Jesus quote that says, 1394 01:14:11.880 --> 01:14:15.279 but the comforter, which is the holy ghost from the Father, 1395 01:14:15.399 --> 01:14:17.960 will send in my name. He shall teach you all 1396 01:14:18.039 --> 01:14:22.079 things and bring all things to your remembrance. 1397 01:14:22.800 --> 01:14:28.520 Your remembrance you already know. You just gotta recognize, recognize 1398 01:14:29.600 --> 01:14:31.880 Christ consciousness right here. What you want to call it, 1399 01:14:31.960 --> 01:14:34.800 Christ consciousness, your higher self, You're damon whatever. Everybody's got 1400 01:14:34.800 --> 01:14:38.560 a name, you are exactly. So the interpretation is is 1401 01:14:38.560 --> 01:14:41.720 that the Holy Spirit here acts as an inner teacher, 1402 01:14:42.039 --> 01:14:46.520 a function that is indistinguishable from that of the damon 1403 01:14:46.840 --> 01:14:50.720 or higher self. It's not outside help. It reminds you 1404 01:14:51.039 --> 01:14:55.439 of truth that you already carry. And this is why 1405 01:14:55.560 --> 01:14:58.239 when we you know, you have an experience and you 1406 01:14:58.319 --> 01:15:01.279 slightly remove the veil, all of a sudden, things that 1407 01:15:01.319 --> 01:15:03.960 you never thought you knew just makes so much sense. 1408 01:15:04.760 --> 01:15:09.680 Yes, yeah, it's just like, dude, it's like that inner knowing. 1409 01:15:09.920 --> 01:15:14.520 It is so obvious that it's like real, you know 1410 01:15:14.520 --> 01:15:16.680 what I'm saying, Like you don't even question it. It's like, 1411 01:15:17.960 --> 01:15:20.680 I don't know. It's like a second language almost that 1412 01:15:20.720 --> 01:15:25.279 you're almost unfamiliar with, that you automatically just remember whenever 1413 01:15:25.319 --> 01:15:26.159 you're in that flow. 1414 01:15:26.600 --> 01:15:29.439 Mm hmm. It's a happy place, dude, it is. 1415 01:15:29.800 --> 01:15:32.039 The next one is from the Gospel of Thomas. This 1416 01:15:32.239 --> 01:15:35.119 is more of the Gnostic variety. But I figured, hey, 1417 01:15:35.159 --> 01:15:39.119 well we'll include the Gnostic and the the not Gnostic 1418 01:15:39.159 --> 01:15:43.800 texts from you know, the regular Bible and the Gnostic writings. 1419 01:15:44.159 --> 01:15:47.119 So from the Gospel of Thomas, and this is saying 1420 01:15:47.439 --> 01:15:51.520 seventy that's what they're called. He goes or Jesus says, 1421 01:15:51.800 --> 01:15:54.760 if you bring forth what is within you, what you 1422 01:15:54.920 --> 01:15:57.960 bring forth will save you. If you do not bring 1423 01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:01.399 forth what is within you, what you do not bring 1424 01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:03.159 forth will destroy you. 1425 01:16:03.800 --> 01:16:09.239 Oh shitude, there's your savior and your devil right there, exactly. 1426 01:16:09.279 --> 01:16:11.760 So the interpretation from this one it says, this is 1427 01:16:11.800 --> 01:16:15.800 one of the most direct Gnostic parallels to Young's Damon quote. 1428 01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:18.520 If you do not speak to your damon, it will 1429 01:16:18.560 --> 01:16:19.760 speak to you as fate. 1430 01:16:20.119 --> 01:16:21.119 The idea that the. 1431 01:16:21.039 --> 01:16:24.560 Inner force is either liberating or destructive depending on how 1432 01:16:24.600 --> 01:16:26.640 you relate to it at the heart. 1433 01:16:26.439 --> 01:16:27.760 Of Damon work. 1434 01:16:28.239 --> 01:16:29.000 Fucking awesome. 1435 01:16:29.119 --> 01:16:29.560 I love it. 1436 01:16:30.039 --> 01:16:32.960 Next one is from John chapter five, verse nineteen. This 1437 01:16:33.000 --> 01:16:35.319 is a quote another one. These are all from Jesus, 1438 01:16:35.319 --> 01:16:38.319 by the way, So even though like for anybody it's 1439 01:16:38.359 --> 01:16:42.239 unfamiliar with the Bible, Like as I stated earlier, the 1440 01:16:42.239 --> 01:16:46.960 four main gospels in the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Yeah, 1441 01:16:47.000 --> 01:16:50.840 it's like it's their chapters, but they're all Jesus sayings. Essentially, 1442 01:16:51.840 --> 01:16:55.279 these are like Jesus's life was essentially. 1443 01:16:54.840 --> 01:16:56.119 Written in these four books. 1444 01:16:56.520 --> 01:17:02.239 Okay, according to the Bible, So John chapter five, verse nineteen, 1445 01:17:02.560 --> 01:17:06.079 Jesus says, the son can do nothing of himself, but 1446 01:17:06.239 --> 01:17:10.079 what he seeth that the Father do. For what things 1447 01:17:10.119 --> 01:17:14.159 soever he does, these also do the Son. 1448 01:17:14.560 --> 01:17:17.920 Likewise, that's written in very old English. 1449 01:17:17.960 --> 01:17:19.720 It's very hard for me to understand. I'm at to 1450 01:17:19.720 --> 01:17:20.760 read that a couple times. 1451 01:17:20.880 --> 01:17:25.079 So the interpretation is essentially saying this. Jesus acknowledges that 1452 01:17:25.159 --> 01:17:28.560 he follows the quote unquote Father. What the Father is 1453 01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:30.720 kind of like the daemon of the Higher Self, right, 1454 01:17:31.399 --> 01:17:35.039 He acknowledges that he follows the Father, but Gnostic readings 1455 01:17:35.159 --> 01:17:39.279 see the Father as the inner divine source rather than 1456 01:17:39.359 --> 01:17:43.119 an external sky God. It's the Higher Self, the Christ 1457 01:17:43.159 --> 01:17:46.520 within a term mirrored by what the Greeks would call 1458 01:17:46.920 --> 01:17:47.439 the damon. 1459 01:17:48.039 --> 01:17:51.319 I love it. I love it, dude. The next why 1460 01:17:51.399 --> 01:17:52.479 all this shit works? Man? 1461 01:17:53.000 --> 01:17:53.239 It do? 1462 01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:57.159 The next one is from the Gospel of Thomas Saying three, 1463 01:17:57.680 --> 01:18:00.640 where Jesus says, the kingdom is a side of you, 1464 01:18:00.880 --> 01:18:03.439 and it is outside of you. When you come to 1465 01:18:03.560 --> 01:18:06.439 know yourself, then you will be known, and you will 1466 01:18:06.479 --> 01:18:09.319 realize that it is you who are the sons of 1467 01:18:09.359 --> 01:18:14.319 the Living Father. The interpretation is that the daemon isn't 1468 01:18:14.359 --> 01:18:18.079 just a voice, it's a gateway to divine sonship. Jesus 1469 01:18:18.119 --> 01:18:20.960 teaches that when you awaken to your true self, the 1470 01:18:21.000 --> 01:18:24.640 Divine reveals itself as being one with you. That is 1471 01:18:24.680 --> 01:18:28.319 the essence of Christ consciousness and mirrors the daemon as 1472 01:18:28.439 --> 01:18:32.920 a divine intermediary, that is you in your highest state. 1473 01:18:33.760 --> 01:18:37.199 Wow, and it's very powerful. It can create a heaven 1474 01:18:37.239 --> 01:18:38.640 on earth or a hell on earth. 1475 01:18:39.199 --> 01:18:39.359 You know. 1476 01:18:39.560 --> 01:18:41.640 Yeah. 1477 01:18:41.800 --> 01:18:46.039 Then we go to John ten, verse thirty four. Jesus 1478 01:18:46.039 --> 01:18:48.840 says that it is not written in your law. I 1479 01:18:48.960 --> 01:18:53.680 said you are God's yep. So the interpretation is is 1480 01:18:53.680 --> 01:18:56.920 that Jesus is quoting Psalm chapter eighty two, verse six, 1481 01:18:57.000 --> 01:19:02.319 but recontextualizing it to pphasize the divinity within the very 1482 01:19:02.359 --> 01:19:05.760 same concept that the daemon embodies. You are not merely 1483 01:19:05.800 --> 01:19:08.880 a servant of God, but a vessel of God. And 1484 01:19:08.920 --> 01:19:12.720 when in alignment with your divine self, you reflect that truth. 1485 01:19:14.199 --> 01:19:15.920 It's inside all of us already. Man. 1486 01:19:16.760 --> 01:19:20.840 A Gospel of Philip from the Gnostic text says those 1487 01:19:20.880 --> 01:19:24.600 who say those who say they will die first and 1488 01:19:24.640 --> 01:19:27.680 then rise are mistaken. If they do not receive the 1489 01:19:27.720 --> 01:19:32.680 resurrection while they live, when they die, they will receive nothing. 1490 01:19:33.840 --> 01:19:37.359 Oh that's not what I thought was understood. 1491 01:19:37.600 --> 01:19:41.199 The interpretation is this supports the idea that awakening to 1492 01:19:41.359 --> 01:19:45.960 your damon your divine self must happen in life through 1493 01:19:46.079 --> 01:19:50.239 conscious through conscious inner work, you don't need to wait 1494 01:19:50.479 --> 01:19:51.319 to be saved. 1495 01:19:51.720 --> 01:19:53.560 You remember who you are. 1496 01:19:53.960 --> 01:19:56.520 M dude. And this is the thing that I've been 1497 01:19:56.520 --> 01:20:01.119 saying a lot lately, is that you know, it's, uh, 1498 01:20:01.159 --> 01:20:05.359 this a way of life isn't necessarily for preparation of death, 1499 01:20:05.720 --> 01:20:07.920 you know what I mean. It's to have a good 1500 01:20:07.920 --> 01:20:11.439 way to live while you're here, now, you know. Yeah, 1501 01:20:11.560 --> 01:20:13.079 I'm I'll be real with you, dude. 1502 01:20:13.119 --> 01:20:15.199 The reason why I got into a lot of this 1503 01:20:15.439 --> 01:20:19.159 like spiritual stuff as deep as I as I personally have, 1504 01:20:20.279 --> 01:20:22.840 is because I've been trying to figure out what is 1505 01:20:22.880 --> 01:20:26.199 the right way to live, you know, like, because sometimes 1506 01:20:26.199 --> 01:20:28.880 you feel like you're you're trapped or you're strapped down 1507 01:20:28.960 --> 01:20:30.680 and you don't really have a say so, and you 1508 01:20:30.760 --> 01:20:32.520 got to go along to get along, and you got 1509 01:20:32.560 --> 01:20:34.960 to do this, and you have to fulfill obligations and 1510 01:20:35.000 --> 01:20:36.199 all this other kind of stuff. 1511 01:20:36.439 --> 01:20:38.640 And I was like, sure, I'll do that. 1512 01:20:38.960 --> 01:20:42.960 Just let me spiritually find out the truth and you know, 1513 01:20:43.119 --> 01:20:45.119 and and that will kind of be my guide as 1514 01:20:45.159 --> 01:20:47.520 to what my next step in life will be. I mean, 1515 01:20:47.560 --> 01:20:51.319 if it's if I'm supposed to just do everything out 1516 01:20:51.359 --> 01:20:53.960 of obligation, then I don't have any problem doing that. 1517 01:20:54.319 --> 01:20:57.920 But if if that's not the answer, and I don't 1518 01:20:57.960 --> 01:21:00.760 need to feel obligated that, you know, like because you 1519 01:21:00.840 --> 01:21:03.840 feel so out of alignment whenever, literally everything in your 1520 01:21:03.840 --> 01:21:07.640 life is an obligation right right, and you know, now 1521 01:21:07.680 --> 01:21:09.520 you're doing things that you don't want to be doing, 1522 01:21:09.560 --> 01:21:11.960 but you know you have to. And you know, whether 1523 01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:14.199 you're working a job or whatever, maybe you're with somebody 1524 01:21:14.239 --> 01:21:16.039 you don't want to be with, whatever the case may be. 1525 01:21:16.520 --> 01:21:18.640 And so that's kind of like, really why I went 1526 01:21:18.680 --> 01:21:21.319 into this whole spiritual you know, understand or got into 1527 01:21:21.359 --> 01:21:23.239 all this spiritual stuff in the first place, because I 1528 01:21:23.279 --> 01:21:25.439 was like, dude, what is the right way to live? 1529 01:21:25.479 --> 01:21:28.880 Because I don't believe that anybody has a fucking speck 1530 01:21:28.960 --> 01:21:32.800 of knowledge at all about what's the right way to live. 1531 01:21:32.840 --> 01:21:35.039 So I'm not just gonna go and do what everybody 1532 01:21:35.039 --> 01:21:36.960 else is doing. Let me, let me try and figure 1533 01:21:36.960 --> 01:21:37.840 it out, you know. 1534 01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:41.439 Yeah, No, that that's perfect, dude. I think that's that's 1535 01:21:41.439 --> 01:21:43.640 what a lot of us here, you know, experience all 1536 01:21:43.680 --> 01:21:46.199 the time, Like what what is the lens that I 1537 01:21:46.239 --> 01:21:48.439 want to look through? That's the thing I've been really 1538 01:21:48.479 --> 01:21:52.640 trying to narrow down. Surely I know not to do 1539 01:21:52.680 --> 01:21:55.359 certain things, and I know what things are good, but 1540 01:21:55.359 --> 01:21:58.720 but how do I really want to visualize what my 1541 01:21:58.880 --> 01:22:02.479 existence is? You know? And I think that's I don't 1542 01:22:02.479 --> 01:22:05.119 think anybody has a wrong answer, to be honest with you. 1543 01:22:05.880 --> 01:22:07.920 Yeah, well, I mean it's your own kind of inner 1544 01:22:08.000 --> 01:22:10.479 truth and your Damon will reveal it. 1545 01:22:10.960 --> 01:22:12.319 That's it, dude, that's it. 1546 01:22:13.319 --> 01:22:16.880 So yeah, so we read the Gospel of Philip. Oh, 1547 01:22:16.920 --> 01:22:18.680 now we're gonna get to one of my favorite Bible quote. 1548 01:22:18.680 --> 01:22:20.880 It's probably my favorite actual Bible quote. I kind of 1549 01:22:20.880 --> 01:22:24.079 stated it earlier. I was right, though, Matthew, Chapter six, 1550 01:22:24.159 --> 01:22:27.880 verse twenty two. Yep, good ship. It's probably because I 1551 01:22:27.920 --> 01:22:29.760 did just read it when I was going over. So 1552 01:22:29.960 --> 01:22:33.720 I'm not gonna suck my own that much. But so 1553 01:22:34.079 --> 01:22:37.000 Matthew six twenty two. The light of the body. The 1554 01:22:37.119 --> 01:22:39.479 light of the body is the eye. If therefore thine 1555 01:22:39.520 --> 01:22:41.960 I be single, the whole body shall be full of light. 1556 01:22:42.560 --> 01:22:46.880 The interpretation is Esoterically, the single eye has been interpreted 1557 01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:50.039 as the pineal gland or inner vision, the eye through 1558 01:22:50.039 --> 01:22:54.880 which the damon might be perceived full of light equals 1559 01:22:55.199 --> 01:22:57.119 aligned with your divine guide. 1560 01:22:57.640 --> 01:23:00.399 Mm hmm. And that's where a lot of the school 1561 01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:03.239 experiences happened. Dude. You know, when you're in meditation or 1562 01:23:03.279 --> 01:23:06.920 you're just contemplating, that's when things happen, not when you're 1563 01:23:06.960 --> 01:23:09.079 just in the physical world. I mean, sure you might 1564 01:23:09.119 --> 01:23:12.800 have some synchronicities, and that's just I think that's pointing 1565 01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:15.880 towards your level of awareness. But but yeah, when you're 1566 01:23:15.920 --> 01:23:19.359 meditating and you experience something, it it feels very real. 1567 01:23:19.880 --> 01:23:21.720 You know, it doesn't feel like something you made up 1568 01:23:21.800 --> 01:23:22.760 just to trick yourself. 1569 01:23:23.399 --> 01:23:26.800 What you're acting like in union, you know, And that's 1570 01:23:26.840 --> 01:23:29.319 the idea behind like, you know, it's kind of like 1571 01:23:29.399 --> 01:23:33.359 a you know, like a union when you get married, 1572 01:23:33.520 --> 01:23:36.640 for example, right, Like you're now thinking as one unit 1573 01:23:36.760 --> 01:23:39.920 rather than two separate individuals. And that's what we're talking 1574 01:23:39.920 --> 01:23:42.319 about here. When we're talking about the union of you 1575 01:23:42.760 --> 01:23:46.399 and you know, your third eye, your pinial plan, your 1576 01:23:46.479 --> 01:23:49.880 dame on, your christ or whatever. With that, it's a 1577 01:23:49.960 --> 01:23:54.680 fucking union. You guys are coexisting, you're working together, you know, 1578 01:23:55.319 --> 01:23:58.840 and they're creating. Du Yeah, you're you're co creating. And 1579 01:23:58.880 --> 01:24:01.239 if you look at your life as a co creation 1580 01:24:01.520 --> 01:24:04.479 rather than just you're in charge of everything and you 1581 01:24:04.479 --> 01:24:06.560 you don't have anybody to talk to, or anybody to ask, 1582 01:24:06.680 --> 01:24:09.039 or anybody to work with or anything like that, then 1583 01:24:09.079 --> 01:24:10.960 of course you're gonna feel like, oh my god, I 1584 01:24:11.000 --> 01:24:13.039 gotta do all this, I gotta do all that. That's 1585 01:24:13.039 --> 01:24:16.199 where anxiety and depression come along. But you know, you 1586 01:24:16.199 --> 01:24:17.840 got to get back to co creating. 1587 01:24:18.039 --> 01:24:19.520 You know. That's it, dude, that's it. 1588 01:24:20.039 --> 01:24:24.439 So my question to the one out here is was 1589 01:24:24.600 --> 01:24:29.640 Jesus actually talking about the damon because I think that 1590 01:24:29.680 --> 01:24:30.000 he was. 1591 01:24:30.880 --> 01:24:33.279 I think so when he was talking, he was on 1592 01:24:33.359 --> 01:24:36.560 some ship. Dude, you know he knew some shit. Oh 1593 01:24:36.600 --> 01:24:39.199 he definitely did so. 1594 01:24:39.800 --> 01:24:42.159 Uh So, Yeah, I mean that's pretty much it what 1595 01:24:42.239 --> 01:24:43.920 I got so far. I mean, I got a couple 1596 01:24:44.000 --> 01:24:46.119 more things here, but then we're going to get to 1597 01:24:46.359 --> 01:24:48.479 the chat over here and then we'll get to the 1598 01:24:48.520 --> 01:24:52.359 tarot and then the meditation and all the fun experience. 1599 01:24:52.479 --> 01:24:54.279 Oh that's right, Yeah, we'll get to that. We'll get 1600 01:24:54.279 --> 01:24:58.039 to that here a minute. Just remind me again. So 1601 01:24:58.640 --> 01:25:02.520 now you know about the damon. The voice that nudged 1602 01:25:02.560 --> 01:25:05.319 you when no one else was looking, the whisper in 1603 01:25:05.399 --> 01:25:08.600 the stillness, The invisible hand that pulled you back from 1604 01:25:08.680 --> 01:25:11.520 the edge. Was never a ghost, It was never madness. 1605 01:25:11.880 --> 01:25:14.560 It was you, in the most divine form, the part 1606 01:25:14.560 --> 01:25:17.319 of you that never forgot who you were before the. 1607 01:25:17.199 --> 01:25:20.439 World named you. The damon is not above you, it's 1608 01:25:20.439 --> 01:25:23.720 not outside of you. It's the sacred fire within you, 1609 01:25:23.720 --> 01:25:28.119 your compass, your guardian. You're twin born of starlight and memory. 1610 01:25:28.399 --> 01:25:30.960 It does not speak in fear, it does not command 1611 01:25:31.039 --> 01:25:34.239 in rage. It guides with grace, and it waits in 1612 01:25:34.359 --> 01:25:38.520 silence until you are ready to listen. And now you are. 1613 01:25:39.079 --> 01:25:41.760 You've walked through the temples of Greece, into the minds 1614 01:25:41.760 --> 01:25:46.279 of Plato, Socrates, Proclus, Young Jesus, Jesus, and the mystics 1615 01:25:46.279 --> 01:25:49.600 of old. You've seen the lies that turned a guardian 1616 01:25:49.720 --> 01:25:53.359 into a devil. You've remembered that salvation was never something 1617 01:25:53.399 --> 01:25:57.520 to be found it was something to remember. So what now? 1618 01:25:58.039 --> 01:26:00.520 You speak its name, you light a candle, you take 1619 01:26:00.520 --> 01:26:02.560 a walk, or you close your eyes, and you ask, 1620 01:26:03.039 --> 01:26:06.439 show me who I was before the forgetting. Speak to 1621 01:26:06.520 --> 01:26:10.560 me again, and it will not with thunder, not with fire, 1622 01:26:11.000 --> 01:26:11.520 but with a. 1623 01:26:11.479 --> 01:26:16.079 Feeling, a knowing, a return love it. 1624 01:26:16.319 --> 01:26:19.720 Yeah, beautiful, a little bit more. Actually, sorry, I thought 1625 01:26:19.720 --> 01:26:25.560 that was gonna be it too. One more quote from 1626 01:26:25.600 --> 01:26:28.640 the Gospel of Thomas says, if you bring forth what 1627 01:26:28.760 --> 01:26:32.479 is within you, what you bring forth will save you. 1628 01:26:33.680 --> 01:26:35.800 So yeah, this is not the end of the story. 1629 01:26:35.920 --> 01:26:38.479 This is the beginning of your real life, now, the 1630 01:26:38.880 --> 01:26:42.039 life that your Damon already knows you're capable of living. 1631 01:26:42.279 --> 01:26:45.760 As you walk forward, trust this, you're not alone, you're 1632 01:26:45.800 --> 01:26:48.800 not broken, and you're not lost. You've just remembered the 1633 01:26:48.840 --> 01:26:51.880 part of yourself that always knew the way. So if 1634 01:26:51.880 --> 01:26:55.239 this rings true to the divine spark within you, then 1635 01:26:55.279 --> 01:26:59.359 tonight you met your damon. Now let the real journey begin. 1636 01:27:00.439 --> 01:27:02.119 I love it, dude. That's a that's a you know, 1637 01:27:02.119 --> 01:27:04.800 I was speaking earlier about choosing a lens to look through. 1638 01:27:04.880 --> 01:27:07.720 I think that's a pretty cool one. You know, as 1639 01:27:07.760 --> 01:27:11.000 far as you know a way of life. I love 1640 01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:13.560 it and don't get caught and semantics. 1641 01:27:13.840 --> 01:27:15.880 You know, I know that some people are gonna listen 1642 01:27:15.920 --> 01:27:17.560 to this and they're gonna be like, oh, so the 1643 01:27:17.680 --> 01:27:19.800 demon's here to save you, you know what I mean. 1644 01:27:19.920 --> 01:27:22.399 It's like, all right, just put another term on it, 1645 01:27:22.479 --> 01:27:24.840 like put it on say it's your guide, Say it's 1646 01:27:24.880 --> 01:27:27.840 your guardian angel. You know, this is actually something that 1647 01:27:27.920 --> 01:27:31.199 even I mean, Aleister Crowley, whatever you want to think 1648 01:27:31.239 --> 01:27:33.840 about him, he was kind of a shithead. But if 1649 01:27:33.840 --> 01:27:36.239 you look into even what he says it whenever whenever, 1650 01:27:37.479 --> 01:27:41.439 uh damn it. What was it called the Damon? Whenever 1651 01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:45.399 he spoke spoke of the Damon, he literally called it 1652 01:27:45.439 --> 01:27:46.840 the Guardian Angel. 1653 01:27:48.039 --> 01:27:51.680 So whatever you want, you know, those are just labels anyways. 1654 01:27:52.079 --> 01:27:54.880 So essentially, yeah, so look at it like your guardian angel. 1655 01:27:54.920 --> 01:27:57.079 Look at it like it's God. Look at it like 1656 01:27:57.199 --> 01:28:00.239 it's your connection to God. Maybe it's your connection to 1657 01:28:00.399 --> 01:28:05.000 your ancestors. But whatever it is, it's that signal. Essentially, 1658 01:28:05.079 --> 01:28:08.359 it is your cell phone signal, it's your Wi Fi signal, 1659 01:28:08.399 --> 01:28:12.319 it's you know, it's the you know, the interconnective kind 1660 01:28:12.319 --> 01:28:17.560 of connecting tissue or connecting wires to the divine. 1661 01:28:17.600 --> 01:28:21.319 So I love it. Yeah, I love it freaking sweet dude. 1662 01:28:22.199 --> 01:28:24.439 Yeah, dude, I thought, you know, I was actually looking 1663 01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:27.439 about this and whenever I found this out, I was like, 1664 01:28:27.600 --> 01:28:33.039 oh my god. Literally the term demon comes from Higher 1665 01:28:33.159 --> 01:28:36.720 Self and and you know, it is like it's like 1666 01:28:36.800 --> 01:28:40.000 the most ancient conspiracy of all time if you think 1667 01:28:40.039 --> 01:28:40.439 about it. 1668 01:28:40.479 --> 01:28:42.600 They didn't even change a word that much, you. 1669 01:28:42.560 --> 01:28:44.279 Know, dude, I mean they got les with it. 1670 01:28:44.319 --> 01:28:46.159 They were like, you know what, let's let's slap that 1671 01:28:46.239 --> 01:28:48.199 a off, you know what I mean, Like we're just 1672 01:28:48.239 --> 01:28:50.760 gonna get really weird.

I was sitting on a couch, and I 1764 01:33:13.520 --> 01:33:15.760 would every so often I would open my eyes to 1765 01:33:15.880 --> 01:33:17.520 just get a little peer at her to see how 1766 01:33:17.560 --> 01:33:21.199 she's reacting to it, you know.

Not of it that secondary because I'm telling 1776 01:33:52.119 --> 01:33:56.079 you you like psychedelics and I, I mean, this is 1777 01:33:56.119 --> 01:33:58.560 just my own personal opinion. This, this is my experience. 1778 01:33:58.920 --> 01:34:03.279 Psychedelics bring you back to that level of understanding, like 1779 01:34:03.640 --> 01:34:06.760 to where you don't you don't question anything. You know 1780 01:34:07.279 --> 01:34:10.560 what's going on now, like and and there's like a 1781 01:34:10.600 --> 01:34:13.399 bunch of epiphanies that that go on like so and 1782 01:34:13.479 --> 01:34:16.119 one of the epiphanies that I had was like because 1783 01:34:16.199 --> 01:34:18.119 whenever I was sitting there on the couch and I 1784 01:34:18.239 --> 01:34:20.199 you know, I closed my eyes and I went inward. 1785 01:34:20.760 --> 01:34:22.680 It was like, Wow, if. 1786 01:34:22.560 --> 01:34:25.680 Aliens were ever going to come, they would just come 1787 01:34:25.920 --> 01:34:29.159 in the moment and they they they almost exist like 1788 01:34:29.239 --> 01:34:32.159 outside of time, you know, call it aliens or spirits 1789 01:34:32.239 --> 01:34:35.039 or gods or whatever. If anybody was going to come, 1790 01:34:35.439 --> 01:34:37.560 this is how they would do it because they would 1791 01:34:37.680 --> 01:34:40.359 enter this space. And this is just you know, maybe 1792 01:34:40.399 --> 01:34:42.199 my mind just tripping. I don't know, this is your 1793 01:34:42.239 --> 01:34:46.439 mind on drugues. But but that was like my understanding 1794 01:34:46.520 --> 01:34:49.159 is that they could almost like pause time because they 1795 01:34:49.199 --> 01:34:51.199 exist outside of time. And that's where you see like 1796 01:34:51.279 --> 01:34:54.119 all the interdimensional shit, the you know, the orbs or 1797 01:34:54.159 --> 01:34:56.520 the the UFOs they pop in and then they pop 1798 01:34:56.560 --> 01:35:00.560 out of existence kind of thing, and that was kind 1799 01:35:00.560 --> 01:35:03.159 of where my mind went. And uh, it was. It 1800 01:35:03.239 --> 01:35:05.800 was pretty awesome. But after a while, I you know, 1801 01:35:05.920 --> 01:35:08.359 I saw Stephanie started to open up her eyes and 1802 01:35:08.399 --> 01:35:10.600 I was like, hey, you want to see something even 1803 01:35:10.600 --> 01:35:11.159 cooler than that. 1804 01:35:11.319 --> 01:35:12.119 Let's go outside. 1805 01:35:12.560 --> 01:35:15.159 I was like, let's go outside, right, dude. 1806 01:35:15.279 --> 01:35:18.920 She takes one step outside the front door and she 1807 01:35:19.119 --> 01:35:23.399 looks down at the grass and she is giggling like crazy, 1808 01:35:23.960 --> 01:35:27.159 and I was like, what are you laughing at?

You know? 1933 01:41:00.039 --> 01:41:02.600 What's funny to do is that sometimes I'll even go outside, 1934 01:41:02.840 --> 01:41:05.079 just on a random night or whatever. 1935 01:41:05.079 --> 01:41:06.279 And I swear I. 1936 01:41:06.239 --> 01:41:10.520 Get like little like little glimmers of paparazzi, you know, 1937 01:41:10.640 --> 01:41:13.640 like whatever that is, and which. 1938 01:41:13.920 --> 01:41:16.840 Flash right yeah, yeah, like just out of the corner 1939 01:41:16.920 --> 01:41:19.520 of my eye. You know, I've seen them like right 1940 01:41:19.520 --> 01:41:21.720 in front of me. Dude, It'll just flash and I'm 1941 01:41:21.720 --> 01:41:23.840 looking in that general area. It wasn't like I had 1942 01:41:23.920 --> 01:41:25.920 just because you know, you've had those moments where you 1943 01:41:25.960 --> 01:41:27.680 look over and you see something that was in the 1944 01:41:27.720 --> 01:41:29.680 corner of your eye and it's like real quick, but 1945 01:41:29.840 --> 01:41:32.279 like I'll be staring in a general direction and just 1946 01:41:32.279 --> 01:41:35.079 see a little like and I'm like what, you know, 1947 01:41:35.239 --> 01:41:37.079 Sometimes I'm like I might be losing it. 1948 01:41:37.199 --> 01:41:39.880 Well, and we've we've thought about it before, like whenever 1949 01:41:39.880 --> 01:41:41.920 we're looking up and we're seeing that, are we kind 1950 01:41:41.960 --> 01:41:45.319 of seeing beyond the veil of what's really actually there? 1951 01:41:45.399 --> 01:41:49.479 Like are we seeing multiple dimensions or multiple realities or 1952 01:41:49.840 --> 01:41:51.920 is it just like what's beyond the veil of our 1953 01:41:51.960 --> 01:41:54.760 current understanding with our physical eyes that we can't see 1954 01:41:54.800 --> 01:41:57.239 all of that unless like we did with the whole 1955 01:41:57.279 --> 01:42:00.359 DMTX episode where you have access to ninety percent as 1956 01:42:00.359 --> 01:42:02.039 opposed to ten percent of your brain. 1957 01:42:01.880 --> 01:42:03.880 Right right, And this is why I said, as far 1958 01:42:03.920 --> 01:42:06.760 as looking into a room with no lights on, it's 1959 01:42:06.760 --> 01:42:09.319 completely pitch black, you know, because in my mind, I'm like, 1960 01:42:09.359 --> 01:42:11.800 you know, maybe we're seeing all these different flashes because 1961 01:42:11.800 --> 01:42:15.319 we're looking in like at this big sky and it's dark, 1962 01:42:15.680 --> 01:42:17.920 you know, and so our mind is able to pick 1963 01:42:18.039 --> 01:42:21.000 up on certain things like that or or manifest that 1964 01:42:21.159 --> 01:42:23.039 for us to experience. But when you go into a 1965 01:42:23.079 --> 01:42:25.600 dark room, you don't see that. It's only when you're 1966 01:42:25.640 --> 01:42:29.720 looking out there. Yeah, so that's why I'm led to 1967 01:42:29.760 --> 01:42:33.600 believe that it is some sort of veil going away. 1968 01:42:33.960 --> 01:42:36.840 You know, the ego is not really fully operating at 1969 01:42:36.920 --> 01:42:39.600 I mean, I would probably say hardly at all during 1970 01:42:40.000 --> 01:42:43.039 that time. And so now you're just more connected, you know. 1971 01:42:43.239 --> 01:42:45.640 Yeah, Well, and that's you know what's funny too, is 1972 01:42:45.680 --> 01:42:49.000 that right before we started tripping, or I think once 1973 01:42:49.039 --> 01:42:50.960 we had already taken it and we were waiting for 1974 01:42:51.039 --> 01:42:51.880 it to come about. 1975 01:42:52.359 --> 01:42:52.560 Yeah. 1976 01:42:52.920 --> 01:42:57.079 I told Steph, I was like, look, whatever happens, just 1977 01:42:57.920 --> 01:43:02.239 surrender to it, Like, don't fight it. Just go with 1978 01:43:02.359 --> 01:43:05.560 the flow of whatever you're seeing is happening. You're meant 1979 01:43:05.560 --> 01:43:07.920 to see it. It's not out of line, it's not 1980 01:43:08.039 --> 01:43:10.000 out of order. You were meant to be in this 1981 01:43:10.079 --> 01:43:14.199 moment right here, right now, and just know that. Don't 1982 01:43:14.239 --> 01:43:17.800 even question you, you know it. And and so yeah, 1983 01:43:17.840 --> 01:43:22.119 it went really well. And afterwards, actually yeah, afterwards she 1984 01:43:22.199 --> 01:43:25.640 said she was like, dude, Like whenever she was getting 1985 01:43:25.640 --> 01:43:27.039 in her car and getting ready to go back to 1986 01:43:27.239 --> 01:43:30.680 her hotel. She was like, thank you for being my 1987 01:43:30.720 --> 01:43:34.000 shopman tonight. That's the last time somebody said that to me. 1988 01:43:34.199 --> 01:43:37.439 That's awesome, dude, Yeah, that's awesome. 1989 01:43:37.960 --> 01:43:40.960 I don't so uh sean. 1990 01:43:41.119 --> 01:43:44.119 We got a tarot, sir, oh, I absolutely do. 1991 01:43:44.680 --> 01:43:47.560 We got the four of swords. 1992 01:43:48.680 --> 01:43:49.920 I kind of had a feeling that it was going 1993 01:43:50.000 --> 01:43:53.920 to be swords. Actually really yeah, because we actually oh yeah, 1994 01:43:53.960 --> 01:43:55.399 that's right, we actually drew. 1995 01:43:55.880 --> 01:43:58.680 So I shuffled some taro. Dude, we got to try 1996 01:43:58.720 --> 01:43:59.319 this next time. 1997 01:43:59.600 --> 01:44:02.640 So I shuffled some tarot rate before we were about 1998 01:44:02.640 --> 01:44:05.439 to trip, and I said, I want us to We're 1999 01:44:05.439 --> 01:44:08.359 gonna draw a tarot card, and I want us to 2000 01:44:08.479 --> 01:44:12.119 both meditate on this while we're tripping, Like, meditate on 2001 01:44:12.159 --> 01:44:13.439 the meaning of it. I don't even remember what the 2002 01:44:13.439 --> 01:44:15.279 card was now, but I think it was a sword. 2003 01:44:17.159 --> 01:44:19.239 But all right, so what was it? The four of swords? 2004 01:44:20.159 --> 01:44:23.960 Yes, sir, damn, I just turned right to it right up. 2005 01:44:23.920 --> 01:44:26.399 Too, all right, the four of swords. 2006 01:44:26.800 --> 01:44:31.159 Pausing to relax and rest your thoughts is a necessary 2007 01:44:31.279 --> 01:44:33.920 part of life. After this, you'll be able to move 2008 01:44:33.960 --> 01:44:39.640 forward with greater energy and a clear mind. You are 2009 01:44:39.680 --> 01:44:42.880 exhausted from an intense experience, so the Four of Swords 2010 01:44:42.920 --> 01:44:45.960 asked you to take time to look within yourself, rest 2011 01:44:46.119 --> 01:44:50.039 and recuperate. The night is oh, there's a night on 2012 01:44:50.079 --> 01:44:52.760 the card that's laying down, So the night is depicted 2013 01:44:52.840 --> 01:44:55.560 as an effigy atop a tomb. Yet this card does 2014 01:44:55.600 --> 01:44:59.920 not signify death. Instead, it symbolizes deep rest. The nights 2015 01:45:00.119 --> 01:45:04.359 hands are clasped in a prayer pose that is used 2016 01:45:04.399 --> 01:45:08.600 in meditation, yoga, and various religions. The tomb itself evokes 2017 01:45:08.600 --> 01:45:11.199 silence and time away from the noise of the world. 2018 01:45:11.560 --> 01:45:13.800 The swords hung on the wall ask the knight to 2019 01:45:13.920 --> 01:45:17.600 let his battle weapons rest, while one sword remains beneath 2020 01:45:17.640 --> 01:45:21.359 the night, signifying that he is quick to react when needed. 2021 01:45:22.119 --> 01:45:24.800 The spiritual message behind it says, carving out a quiet 2022 01:45:24.880 --> 01:45:27.840 time to meditate and focus on your spiritual path will 2023 01:45:27.880 --> 01:45:31.479 do you a world of good. Incorporating more solitude and 2024 01:45:31.520 --> 01:45:35.199 self reflection into your life greatly affects your overall happiness 2025 01:45:35.239 --> 01:45:38.199 and well being. A card of recovery, the Four of 2026 01:45:38.239 --> 01:45:41.399 Swords could be related to a period of recuperation from 2027 01:45:41.479 --> 01:45:45.319 illness or a time of seeking medical treatment, therapy, or counseling. 2028 01:45:46.960 --> 01:45:51.159 The upright. Key positions are rest and introspection. The numerology, 2029 01:45:51.239 --> 01:45:55.439 since it is a four of swords, is structure and stability. Dude, 2030 01:45:56.119 --> 01:45:58.680 I kind of feel like that was on some uh 2031 01:46:00.199 --> 01:46:02.039 go ahead, perfect the perfect card, I think. 2032 01:46:02.119 --> 01:46:03.279 Yeah, I thought it was a really good one. 2033 01:46:03.680 --> 01:46:05.520 So the one and what I was looking at was 2034 01:46:05.560 --> 01:46:08.079 the you know, you hang up the three swords, right, 2035 01:46:08.399 --> 01:46:10.279 and then you still have the one sort, but the 2036 01:46:10.319 --> 01:46:13.039 one sword that's with you is the same color, you 2037 01:46:13.039 --> 01:46:15.239 know what I'm saying. And so when you when you 2038 01:46:15.319 --> 01:46:18.800 rest your mind and stop digging too far into your 2039 01:46:18.800 --> 01:46:22.199 own thoughts and getting bogged down, you know, you you 2040 01:46:22.600 --> 01:46:25.000 I feel like that other sword is just your higher self, 2041 01:46:25.039 --> 01:46:27.359 you know, or your dame on because you know what 2042 01:46:27.399 --> 01:46:31.079 I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2043 01:46:31.199 --> 01:46:35.239 I just like the idea of the rest and like 2044 01:46:35.359 --> 01:46:38.800 recuperation kind of period, you know, which is what we 2045 01:46:38.800 --> 01:46:40.159 always talk about with meditation. 2046 01:46:40.199 --> 01:46:41.560 That's really what that does. You know. 2047 01:46:41.600 --> 01:46:43.920 It's like a temporary little rest that you give yourself 2048 01:46:43.920 --> 01:46:45.920 throughout the days or you're not really worried so much 2049 01:46:45.920 --> 01:46:48.520 about like the worldly things, and you can kind of 2050 01:46:48.560 --> 01:46:51.520 go in and guiet the noise and gather yourself all 2051 01:46:51.560 --> 01:46:54.720 over again. So I think that was really speaking on meditation, 2052 01:46:55.119 --> 01:46:57.479 and I mean maybe you just need a long ass 2053 01:46:57.479 --> 01:46:58.880 sleep too, you know, like. 2054 01:46:58.960 --> 01:47:00.920 Yeah, maybe dude, you just need some rest, you know, 2055 01:47:01.039 --> 01:47:04.399 find that space between the notes, man the n betwixt. 2056 01:47:04.960 --> 01:47:06.079 That's it. That's right. 2057 01:47:08.680 --> 01:47:11.880 Asia said, where does one obtain for echo d MT? 2058 01:47:12.159 --> 01:47:16.359 Asking for scientific purposes, of course, and Kara said, I 2059 01:47:16.359 --> 01:47:20.199 would also like to know for mystical and educational purposes only. 2060 01:47:20.079 --> 01:47:20.560 Of course. 2061 01:47:21.159 --> 01:47:26.640 Yeah, of course, you guys are my people. I love it. Yeah, 2062 01:47:26.720 --> 01:47:30.880 I may have to say that off air. I don't 2063 01:47:30.880 --> 01:47:32.479 know if I can say the little on the show. 2064 01:47:32.479 --> 01:47:34.479 We'll see, but. 2065 01:47:34.720 --> 01:47:36.439 Yeah, all right, well I guess we're gonna wrap it 2066 01:47:36.520 --> 01:47:36.960 up right there. 2067 01:47:36.960 --> 01:47:39.159 We're gonna get over to the meditation will reconvene a 2068 01:47:39.159 --> 01:47:43.840 little bit afterward, and so maybe stick around if you 2069 01:47:43.840 --> 01:47:45.760 want that answer, because I can't say it while we're 2070 01:47:45.920 --> 01:47:46.399 shooting the. 2071 01:47:46.399 --> 01:47:50.800 Show, dude. You know, final thoughts, dude. I thought that 2072 01:47:50.880 --> 01:47:53.079 was a great episode and it was very informative, and 2073 01:47:53.119 --> 01:47:55.680 I think it kind of it makes sense, dude. You know, 2074 01:47:56.039 --> 01:47:59.880 you put your your intentions and your awareness into a night, 2075 01:48:00.680 --> 01:48:02.960 you know, and it and it becomes real, you know, 2076 01:48:03.079 --> 01:48:06.640 and I love it. It's, uh, this was perfect for me. 2077 01:48:06.920 --> 01:48:08.880 It's almost like sometimes I feel like you're doing these 2078 01:48:08.880 --> 01:48:11.119 shows just for me. That's what it feels like. 2079 01:48:11.199 --> 01:48:12.600 I hope everybody feels that way. 2080 01:48:13.720 --> 01:48:15.199 I'm sure a lot of them do. 2081 01:48:15.560 --> 01:48:18.199 Even from like a selfish perspective.

It was already really late whenever 2151 01:51:47.760 --> 01:51:49.800 we were gonna whenever I was planning on us doing 2152 01:51:49.800 --> 01:51:51.479 a show, so I had to run it by myself. 2153 01:51:51.960 --> 01:51:54.279 So uh, I felt like that show came out great 2154 01:51:54.359 --> 01:51:56.640 and exactly how it was supposed to be, you know, 2155 01:51:56.720 --> 01:51:57.680 but that's just my opinion. 2156 01:51:58.239 --> 01:52:01.920 Well, I appreciate that. It's uh, it was. It was 2157 01:52:01.960 --> 01:52:04.039 kind of nerve wracking doing the show by myself like 2158 01:52:04.039 --> 01:52:06.279 that because it's been so long since i'd done one, 2159 01:52:06.520 --> 01:52:09.600 like just not having anybody to bounce ideas off of 2160 01:52:09.640 --> 01:52:11.000 and stay right, No. 2161 01:52:11.039 --> 01:52:13.640 You did good, dude, you did good.

But yeah, so I didn't even 2163 01:52:16.520 --> 01:52:18.159 do a meditation in that one because I was already 2164 01:52:18.159 --> 01:52:18.880 so damn tired. 2165 01:52:18.920 --> 01:52:19.119 Dude. 2166 01:52:19.119 --> 01:52:20.479 It was like two thirty in the morning by the 2167 01:52:20.520 --> 01:52:21.680 time I got done shooting that one. 2168 01:52:21.880 --> 01:52:22.119 Dude. 2169 01:52:23.239 --> 01:52:26.359 Yeah, it was a long one. But this, yeah, this 2170 01:52:26.399 --> 01:52:28.760 felt really good to go into a meditation, I tell 2171 01:52:28.800 --> 01:52:32.359 you what, dude, Like I wasn't even trying to really 2172 01:52:32.439 --> 01:52:34.920 figure anything out.

That's my favorite. 2177 01:52:48.039 --> 01:52:50.479 However, once I got there, of course I had some questions, 2178 01:52:50.640 --> 01:52:55.640 and uh so I was like, all right, I'm calmed 2179 01:52:55.720 --> 01:52:58.399 all the way down now that I should be able 2180 01:52:58.439 --> 01:53:00.960 to talk to the damon or to the higher self 2181 01:53:01.079 --> 01:53:04.760 right now, show me what that is. And of course 2182 01:53:04.800 --> 01:53:07.159 I had some you know, more personal kind of questions, 2183 01:53:07.159 --> 01:53:09.239 which whatever, I don't really care. You know, I can, 2184 01:53:09.319 --> 01:53:11.840 I can divulge personal shit. I don't really care what anybody. 2185 01:53:12.239 --> 01:53:12.439 You know. 2186 01:53:12.840 --> 01:53:15.760 I'm not worried about judgment of any sorts. Y'all know 2187 01:53:15.840 --> 01:53:18.399 my life is crazy. But yeah, I was kind of 2188 01:53:18.479 --> 01:53:20.399 just going in. I was like, all right, you know, 2189 01:53:20.720 --> 01:53:24.479 like because I think everybody's really on there, everybody wants 2190 01:53:24.520 --> 01:53:28.279 to find like their person, you know what I'm saying. 2191 01:53:28.439 --> 01:53:30.199 And I'm kind of at a point in my life 2192 01:53:30.279 --> 01:53:31.840 right now where I'm just like, you know what, dude, 2193 01:53:31.880 --> 01:53:37.319 I just really like not even worried about that, and 2194 01:53:37.520 --> 01:53:39.319 so that was kind of like, you know, what I'd 2195 01:53:39.319 --> 01:53:41.520 gotten I was. It was just more so like don't 2196 01:53:41.520 --> 01:53:44.199 even I don't even worry about anybody, don't worry about 2197 01:53:44.239 --> 01:53:47.560 anything or anything like that. Like, just keep doing what 2198 01:53:47.600 --> 01:53:50.840 you're doing and kind of try and figure out how 2199 01:53:50.880 --> 01:53:54.119 to balance the self, and then whenever that time comes, 2200 01:53:54.119 --> 01:53:55.199 it'll be the time, you know. 2201 01:53:55.600 --> 01:53:57.840 Yeah, I think that's how it works. Man. You know, 2202 01:53:57.880 --> 01:54:00.359 when I when I met my wife, was at a 2203 01:54:00.399 --> 01:54:02.039 point due where I was just kind of doing my 2204 01:54:02.079 --> 01:54:04.399 own thing, you know, and I just kind of stopped 2205 01:54:04.439 --> 01:54:06.479 looking for somebody and all of a sudden, dude, out 2206 01:54:06.520 --> 01:54:09.079 of nowhere, if fate would have it, you know, just 2207 01:54:09.079 --> 01:54:10.920 the way that it even, just the way that it happened, 2208 01:54:10.920 --> 01:54:14.960 it was just kind of unusual anyways. But but yeah, 2209 01:54:14.960 --> 01:54:17.520 I think that's when when the magic happens, when you 2210 01:54:17.560 --> 01:54:20.239 when you stop trying so hard, you know, just let 2211 01:54:20.279 --> 01:54:23.439 it happen.
