WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.120 Tell me what you loft was like before you died. 2 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:10.720 It was in nineteen ninety nine that I came down 3 00:00:10.759 --> 00:00:14.000 with chronic tendonitis throughout my whole body. And I was 4 00:00:14.720 --> 00:00:17.120 what I considered a born again Christian back then, so 5 00:00:17.399 --> 00:00:21.199 I was religious and bleeped in God. But after eight 6 00:00:21.280 --> 00:00:24.440 years of chronic pain two thousand and seven, that was worsening. 7 00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.839 I had tendys in my jaw, my hands, my feet, 8 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.399 and it was making it difficult to work. And I 9 00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:34.560 became very depressed, and I thought, maybe God's not real, 10 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:38.439 but more likely he's real. But I'm the disobedient Christian. 11 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.840 I'm the son he's embarrassed of. I'm the failure. I'm 12 00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:42.880 the one who says I want nothing to do with you. 13 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:47.359 God doesn't just love us, adores us now when I 14 00:00:47.439 --> 00:00:51.159 say he okay, So God contains all that's maskul and feminine. 15 00:00:51.159 --> 00:00:53.759 I began to lose faith. And then in two thousand 16 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:55.600 and seven, I clicked on this YouTube video of an 17 00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.840 atheist who died, and that just that changed everything, and 18 00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:01.320 it renewed my faith in God. It renewed my faith 19 00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:04.840 in myself. It changed my relationship with my family, even 20 00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:08.159 the way I treat nature. Before, I treated nature like 21 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.719 a resource to be exploited, natural resources, and I've come 22 00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.480 to learn now through my research that we're not separate 23 00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:17.120 from nature. We're part of nature, and when we destroy nature, 24 00:01:17.159 --> 00:01:19.840 we destroy ourselves. So it even changes the way I 25 00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.079 behave in public. If I'm walking in public and I 26 00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:24.200 see a piece of trash, before, I would say this 27 00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:25.879 is my neighborhood, I don't care. Well, Now I'll to 28 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:28.159 stop and pick it up. And so it changed every 29 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.359 aspect of my life for the positive. It didn't necessarily 30 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:34.359 make life easier. I think life was easier as a 31 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:39.760 Christian because when you believe in things that are not 32 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:43.519 part of the cultural paradigm, and you know this because 33 00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.799 of all this work you're doing, you get the raised 34 00:01:45.799 --> 00:01:49.040 eyebrows and there's this reaction of you're crazy, and because 35 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.120 you're crazy, you might be dangerous and I need to 36 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.159 get away from you. So it's tough being one of 37 00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:58.760 the older souls who's trying to push this raising of 38 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:02.079 consciousness along there that you're doing. But it's it's worth 39 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.920 the effort. It's nothing you can do about it. You 40 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:06.680 got to deal with the pain, so I can be 41 00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.840 in pain and just treat it like a nuisance and 42 00:02:10.000 --> 00:02:12.919 try and be happy and find joy. Or I can 43 00:02:13.039 --> 00:02:15.599 focus on it and make it worse and wallow in it. 44 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.680 And that's what I did, and I turned to medication. 45 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:21.840 My doctors put me on vicotin. Now I wasn't popping 46 00:02:21.879 --> 00:02:24.280 vicodins like their m and ms, like Rushlinba did when 47 00:02:24.280 --> 00:02:28.120 he had his back injury. I was taking the prescribed amounts. 48 00:02:28.599 --> 00:02:30.319 I only averaged a couple of day, but I was 49 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.360 on that for twenty years and it eventually led to psychosis. 50 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.560 I thought I was losing my mind. And my friend Jack, 51 00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.000 who had got a severe spinal degeneration, who's on heavier medication, 52 00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:45.319 and that happened to him after five years, and he said, David, 53 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:47.520 it's this medication. You need to get off of it. 54 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.080 So I did in twenty nineteen, after twenty years of 55 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:54.639 being in the pain, Cold Turkey twenty nineteen, I was 56 00:02:54.639 --> 00:02:58.560 getting the tug from spirit. Sell everything you have, buy 57 00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:01.319 a trailer and go out in live in nature for 58 00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.560 at least a year. I'm thinking I don't want to 59 00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:05.039 do this, and I was thinking I don't want to 60 00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.919 go along by myself. That's strange. But I was living 61 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:09.639 by myself. I was kind of lonely. I was out 62 00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:12.960 of work, and I said, I'm not even dating anybody, 63 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.120 so I can't really ask a woman. So I call 64 00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.199 up my ex girlfriend who I broke up with three 65 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:19.960 years ago, lived in Mexico, and I said, hey, you 66 00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.560 want to quit your job and live in a trailer 67 00:03:21.599 --> 00:03:23.319 with me for a year in see the United States. 68 00:03:23.400 --> 00:03:25.719 And she goes okay, And of course we fell in 69 00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:28.000 love on that trip, and then we got married, and 70 00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.039 she's an angel love a woman. And then I later 71 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.479 found out that I was supposed to be a teacher 72 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:35.599 and an author and help this great awakening that's happening 73 00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:38.520 now with humanity, and if I wasn't on track, she 74 00:03:38.719 --> 00:03:40.919 was my backup plan to come in. And then of 75 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.400 course I helped her too, because she was in a 76 00:03:43.520 --> 00:03:46.439 job that was getting more and more stressful as an accountant, 77 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.159 and she was being so overworked. They had four accountants 78 00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.240 and one quit because there was too much work, so 79 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:55.280 they gave the work to the three that remained, and 80 00:03:55.439 --> 00:03:57.080 another one quit and they gave the work to it. 81 00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:01.439 Just she was getting physically ill andvomiting, and so I 82 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.680 took her away from all that I had some savings, 83 00:04:03.719 --> 00:04:07.919 so we helped each other. And amazingly, about six months 84 00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.319 after I stopped the Viking and the pain levels went 85 00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:13.280 way up at first, and then they normalized. And then 86 00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:16.319 about six months into this, being out in nature, I 87 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.920 started feeling a little better. I started using my mobility 88 00:04:18.920 --> 00:04:20.560 scooter less and less. I mean I couldn't be at 89 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:22.160 my feet for more than ten minutes. I'd have to 90 00:04:22.240 --> 00:04:25.079 use mobility scooter to go to Walmart. I saw it 91 00:04:25.079 --> 00:04:27.040 one day, well, I'm gonna try walking a mile, which 92 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.560 would normally cause two weeks of pain, And there was 93 00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.000 no pain. And then a couple days later I walked 94 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:35.560 two and then three, and then five and then seven, 95 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:37.680 and at seven it started hurting and I backed off, 96 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.040 and basically my body healed. I still have a little 97 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:42.240 pain now and then, but I can work all day 98 00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:44.920 in the yard and I can walk five miles without 99 00:04:44.920 --> 00:04:48.000 a problem. I had a miraculous healing. Yeah, it was wonderful. 100 00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:50.720 When I got out of California. I got out of 101 00:04:50.759 --> 00:04:52.839 the big city, and I think there was a negative 102 00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:55.360 vibration where I was living and just being out in 103 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:57.759 the country that changed things. So I really don't understand 104 00:04:57.759 --> 00:04:59.439 the whole thing. I was just grateful every day of 105 00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.800 my life to be able to walk and not deal 106 00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:05.079 with pain every day. Just recently, my guides, they brought 107 00:05:05.079 --> 00:05:07.360 back an old memory. And I have spiritual guides that 108 00:05:07.399 --> 00:05:09.160 speak to me on a regular basis, and they're really 109 00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.120 good with teaching me, and they're very matter of fact. 110 00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:14.120 They're sort of never judgmental. They're just very matter of fact. 111 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:17.079 But I'm going through this rough time. And they said, 112 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:20.680 wait till you see what's coming. And I said, well, 113 00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:24.600 what does that mean. We'll be right back after a 114 00:05:24.639 --> 00:05:30.600 word from our sponsor, and now back to the show. 115 00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:34.600 I was seventeen years old. It's a long time ago. 116 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.399 Over forty years ago. I was in a youth retreat 117 00:05:37.480 --> 00:05:40.120 and this youth pastor was up there talking about this 118 00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:43.759 story and he said, okay, this soldier is in this 119 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.959 dark area. It's completely dark. He's injured, and he's hungry 120 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:49.360 and cold and tired, can't see a thing, and he's 121 00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.279 with a sergeant and the sergeant orders him put this 122 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.759 backpack on. The backpack's empty, and he says, now start walking. Well, 123 00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.519 I can't see where I'm going. He goes, start walking. 124 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:58.720 We've got to get back to base. So they start walking, 125 00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:01.720 and every time he trips on a rock, the sergeant 126 00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:03.600 orders him to pick it up and put in the backpack, 127 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:05.439 and he goes, why am I doing this? Sergeant? He goes, 128 00:06:05.800 --> 00:06:08.199 just keep walking, do what I tell you. It's for 129 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.879 your own good. And he's mad at this, Sergeant. You 130 00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:12.439 know it's being a jerk. Why do I have to 131 00:06:12.480 --> 00:06:14.360 go through this? I mean, we got to walk back. 132 00:06:14.399 --> 00:06:16.360 Why am I putting rocks in my backpack to make 133 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.480 it heavier? They keep going. Now the backpack's full and 134 00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:22.600 it's just a burden. They finally get back to base. 135 00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:25.240 The sun's coming up. He goes into his barracks, throws 136 00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.879 the backpack down by the side of his bed and 137 00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:30.160 lays down. Wakes up the next morning and he picks 138 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.680 up the backpack to empty out the rocks, and they're gold, 139 00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:36.360 their rocks of gold. And sometimes in life we don't 140 00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:40.040 see the reason for the stuff we're going through until later. 141 00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.759 If it were not for my chronic pain, I would 142 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:44.759 not have gotten together with this angel of a woman 143 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:47.240 that I'm married to. My life would not have changed. 144 00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.600 I wouldn't have broken down. Sometimes you gotta hit rock 145 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.920 bottom to change just like a drug addict going through 146 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.000 the dark knight of the soul and hitting rock bottom. 147 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.879 The dance of consciousness is always one of two steps 148 00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:01.480 forward and one step back, and sometimes you got to 149 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.439 take the step back. Consciousness learns through contrast. Matter of fact, 150 00:07:05.480 --> 00:07:07.639 that's what we're doing here on planet Earth. In the 151 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:10.920 perfect environment of heaven. It's hard to change and grow, 152 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.759 and near death experiences have been told that if we're 153 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.759 not for souls leaving the comfort and joy of their 154 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:21.199 heavenly homes, disconnecting from feeling the beautiful love coming down 155 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.480 into these tough lifetimes, and this is a tough place 156 00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:27.560 to be if you're here on planet Earth. Oh, you're 157 00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:30.000 an expert soul. Earth is the hardest place to have 158 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.160 a life in this galaxy. It's one of three hardest 159 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:36.360 in the universe. If it were not for souls incarnating, 160 00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:40.639 the growth and change of heaven could not continue. We're 161 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.079 doing the tough work for creation. We are a critical 162 00:07:44.160 --> 00:07:47.279 part of the engine of growth of creation because consciousness 163 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:50.720 learns through contrast, and that's why people are honored in 164 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.399 heaven when they have these near death experiences. They're treated 165 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.480 like war heroes. Some of them even ask why are 166 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.839 you looking at me like that? Because you're brave and 167 00:07:58.879 --> 00:08:01.680 you're doing it because you love your heavenly family. You're helping, 168 00:08:02.040 --> 00:08:05.480 literally helping God grow and evolve by doing what you're doing. Well, 169 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:09.160 when we are loving and kind and compassionate people, it 170 00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.399 makes all of Heaven happy. And when we are cruel 171 00:08:11.399 --> 00:08:15.120 and selfish and manipulative, they're a little disappointed. They wish 172 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.399 we would have chosen the path of love. And that 173 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:21.319 message spoke such truth to my heart, and it was 174 00:08:21.399 --> 00:08:24.480 what I needed because as an engineer, I want evidence. 175 00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:27.439 I can't work on blind faith and believe something because 176 00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:30.079 some guy in a costume who we call a priest 177 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.840 tells me to believe it. I needed evidence, and my 178 00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:35.919 guides and the spirits who are with me knew that 179 00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:38.120 that's what I needed, and so I just looked into 180 00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:41.200 one after another after another after another, and finally I 181 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.320 was like, well, I got to tell people about this, 182 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.000 just like you're telling people about it. So it's been 183 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:48.799 a wonderful journey. Well. At first, what I was trying 184 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:51.039 to do is match these near death experiences with my 185 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.480 Christian faith, and it eventually became impossible because I would 186 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.600 hear things like, well, this isn't your first time here. 187 00:08:56.720 --> 00:08:59.159 You have many lifetimes. And of course that should have 188 00:08:59.200 --> 00:09:02.600 been obvious because it's in the Bible, Jesus said, John 189 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.000 the Baptist was Elijah, so you know it's in there. 190 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:08.519 But the pattern was always the same. I would hear something, 191 00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:10.600 I would learn something new from these experiences, and I 192 00:09:10.600 --> 00:09:12.600 would say, no, this can't be true, and slowly I 193 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.759 would accept it, and just as I was getting comfortable, 194 00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:17.320 they'd give me the next thing to take on. So 195 00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:20.759 the first one was like multiple lifetimes. I'm a spiritual counselor, 196 00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.639 and so now somebody comes up on the screen and 197 00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:24.840 I get flashes about their life. Not always, but I 198 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:26.679 see things, and so now it's just the normal part 199 00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:28.240 of my life. My guide who speak to me on 200 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.879 a daily basis, and psychic things and things like that. 201 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.879 And just recently the psychic stuff saved my life. I 202 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:35.279 was told to get out of the house where I 203 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:36.960 was because I was in danger. It turned out it 204 00:09:37.000 --> 00:09:39.080 was true, so it just became a normal part of 205 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.120 my life. But it's the same process that's still happening today. 206 00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:43.840 I deny it and then I get evidence and I 207 00:09:43.879 --> 00:09:47.200 finally accept it. A few of these near death experiences 208 00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.399 are shown glimpse of the future, and one of the 209 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:53.000 things they said is there's going to be a new 210 00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.799 kind of politician in the future, and they're going to 211 00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.960 be gentle and soft spoken and rule from love and compare. 212 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.360 And they will even call their opponent an opponent, they'll 213 00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.480 call them a colleague, and they'll say things like, well, 214 00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.320 Jim has these ideas, and you know, I think they'll 215 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:10.919 work for these reasons. But I have these ideas and 216 00:10:10.960 --> 00:10:14.000 they may work better for these reasons. And I'm thinking, oh, 217 00:10:14.039 --> 00:10:16.320 that's never going to happen. Well, it will as the 218 00:10:16.360 --> 00:10:19.159 consciousness of humanity continues to rise. They're not going to 219 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:22.440 stand for the power hungry politician. So when you're in 220 00:10:22.519 --> 00:10:25.360 a struggle to survive, and most of us, many of us, 221 00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.799 I would say, are in survival consciousness. You're trying to 222 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:31.080 just pay the bills and get through the day without 223 00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.039 going crazy and without losing your mind. And when you're 224 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:38.600 in survival consciousness, your creativity, your enthusiasm to do what 225 00:10:38.639 --> 00:10:42.240 you love to do, to make a beneficial contribution to humanity, 226 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.399 to really do something that benefits society, that's set aside. 227 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:48.639 I'm got to focus on surviving. And so when that 228 00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:54.000 need and struggle is over, it's amazing the creativity that 229 00:10:54.039 --> 00:10:56.159 comes out when we're not fighting each other, when we're 230 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:58.519 not worried about this person's going to steal a rob 231 00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:04.039 from me. These lives are extremely challenging sometimes and sometimes 232 00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:06.840 you just feel like giving up. Just never give up. 233 00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:10.840 Hope good things are coming. Everything that we do down 234 00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:13.879 here on planet Earth has a purpose, and that purpose 235 00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:16.240 is always for our highest good, and we don't always 236 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.559 see it. But the most important message I can leave 237 00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.440 number one, know that you are loved more than your 238 00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.840 human brain is capable of comprehending.
