14
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: edition of the program. The Ascended Masters and What They Said?

15
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 1: Do you know there is this weird, controversial ancient manuscript

16
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: that well, it supposedly tells these wild stories about the

17
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: childhood of Jesus. And these are controversial stories because they

18
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: are often not very nice stories. Uh. He was, according

19
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: to these, quite a mischievous kid, to say the least,

20
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: as he grew up as a as a human and

21
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: gradually learned right from wrong, just like the rest of

22
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: us do, which is actually a very interesting concept because

23
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what some of these I'm gonna

24
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: give you some of these stories. I'll tell you what

25
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: this is about, and you can you can make up

26
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: your own mind whether or not you want to believe

27
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: these stories are true. But the concept that you know, uh,

28
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: the character of Jesus was not just automatically genetically perfect,

29
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: you know, just came out of the womb instantly being

30
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: a great guy, you know, is Um. It's kind of

31
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: inspiring because it makes you think, like, wow, that's I

32
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: guess the whole purpose of coming into the material world

33
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: to live like a human is you have to go

34
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: through the process that we go through, and you have

35
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: to learn and figure out right from wrong. Um. But

36
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: before we get into this, uh, you know, the whole

37
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: idea behind books, uh in the Bible being credible or

38
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: not is uh, it's a can of worms, It's a

39
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: Pandora's box. I mean, we are talking about stories that

40
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: were written hundreds or thousands of years ago, and I

41
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: say hundreds in some cases because there are more recent

42
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: documents that claim they are biblical. But anyway, look, uh,

43
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 1: but we're certainly talking about things that were written thousands

44
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: of years ago. They've been edited, translated, reinterpreted. And I

45
00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: often tell people, look, I have a personally published over

46
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: twenty books. I don't even know what the number is

47
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: at this point. And from one addition to the next,

48
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: usually the book is different. There are some changes, there

49
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: are errors that occur, and so and that's just and

50
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: and my microscopic world with the books that I published,

51
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: So I can't even imagine the changes that must take

52
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: place when you look at manuscripts that were produced or

53
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 1: stories that were recorded thousands of years ago. So that's

54
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: why we I don't think we can ever take these

55
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: ancient texts literally. We can just sort of get the gist,

56
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: get the gist. And and that's why that there are

57
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,799
Speaker 1: so many, um self contradictions in the King James version

58
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: of the Bible, which you can look up for yourself

59
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: if you're interested in that. But you know, there are

60
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: all these stories that didn't officially make it into the Bible,

61
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: and these are considered apocryphal. Uh. If you actually look

62
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: up the definition of apocryphal, UH says writings or statements

63
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: of dubious authenticity. So in other words, these are these

64
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: are a type of writing that cannot necessarily be verified,

65
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: is called apocryphal. But when most people talk about that,

66
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: and they use that word, they're talking specifically about the apocrypha.

67
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: And and the apocrypha UH is this collection of these

68
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 1: types of UH stories, ancient stories and ancient books thought

69
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: to have been written sometime between two hundred BC and

70
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: four D. And UH it's kind of like the the

71
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: official curators and custodians of Christianity decided that these didn't

72
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: make the cut um. And so it may be that

73
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: what I'm about to read to you is UH is

74
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: similar to this an apocryphal tale. It's called the Infancy

75
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: Gospel of Thomas, and I'm looking at an article about

76
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 1: it right now, and here is the overview. It is

77
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: a biographical gospel about the childhood of Jesus, believe to

78
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: date at the latest to the second century. Okay, so

79
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: it's it's very old. Yeah, it's it's very old, but

80
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: you know it still was written quite a while, I

81
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: guess after maybe after Jesus lived. I'm not sure. I'm

82
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: not going to pretend that i'm some kind of biblical

83
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: scholar or historian. Here. You can look into all those

84
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: details yourself if you're that serious. I don't want to

85
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: get any emails from people like, hey, you got the

86
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: timeline mixed up. This is some old stuff, you know.

87
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: Most stuff related to Jesus is about two thousand years old,

88
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: and some of these things about Jesus were written quite

89
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: a while after he died. Uh. But anyway, it goes

90
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: on to say that proto orthodox Christians regarded this thing

91
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: called the Infancy Gospel of Thomas as inauthentic and heretical. Okay,

92
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: so the official powers of Christianity they do not they

93
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: do not like this. Uh. The author of the gospel

94
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: is unknown. Uh. And the earliest manuscripts no author is

95
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: indicated at all. Um. And Uh. It's look, they talk

96
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: about how that this thing may have been updated in

97
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: the Middle Ages. All right, we don't know, Okay, nobody

98
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: knows whether or not this is true, but a lot

99
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: of people think it is true. And here's something also

100
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: that's very interesting about it. Uh. It says that, um,

101
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: the Infancy Gospel of Thomas was thought to be Gnostic

102
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: in origin. So do you know, have you heard of

103
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: the Gnostics? That spelled g n O S t I c. Nasticism,

104
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: which is a Greek word means having knowledge. Gnosticism is

105
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: officially a collection of religious ideas and systems which coalesced

106
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: in the late first century a d among Jewish and

107
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: early Christian sects, and basically the idea was these groups

108
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: emphasized personal spiritual knowledge above orthodox teachings and traditions and

109
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: the authority of religious institutions. Um. They thought that it

110
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: was maybe a simplification to just look at the material

111
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: world as as flawed or evil and um. And they

112
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: considered the principal element of salvation to be sort of

113
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: a direct knowledge of the Supreme Divinity in the form

114
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:30,079
Speaker 1: of mystical or esoteric insight. So that's that's some pretty

115
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: vague sounding stuff I understand, but nothing that gives you

116
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: an idea how that maybe some of these very early

117
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: Christian types in particular, they thought that, um, yet the

118
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: Bible is condensing stuff down in the parables, but there's

119
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: something more complex here, and that it's not just about

120
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: some kind of a hierarchy with God and angels and

121
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: the devil and demons and all that that it's um,

122
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: it's something a little bit more like we might call

123
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: the christ consciousness or something these days. I'm not I'm

124
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: not sure if I can explain it much better than that.

125
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: You can look that up for yourself as well. I

126
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: am just here to give you a podcast with an

127
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: overview of this information. But let us get into these

128
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: controversial stories that supposedly relate to jesus upbringing, because you know,

129
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: there are some significant gaps in the life of Jesus.

130
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: In fact, there's a whole article here, uh, which is

131
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: about the the unknown years of Jesus. They are at

132
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: least eighteen unknown years in there, because you know, after

133
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 1: the Nativity, you know, after the the miraculous magical birth

134
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: that we celebrate every Christmas. After that, there's not much

135
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: said about Uh, Jesus's early life. I think when he

136
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: was around twelve years old that you know, he went off,

137
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: he wandered off into a temple and started having some

138
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: impressive conversations with some of the elders there um. But

139
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: there's really not much said until he's like, you know,

140
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: thirty years old and he goes off to begin his

141
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: his ministry. So there's like eighteen years missing here. It's

142
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: actually one of the greatest old historical mysteries. What was

143
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: Jesus up to during that time? Some people said, oh,

144
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: he went to India, or he he maybe he went

145
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: to Tibet. Uh, you know, he studied all he traveled

146
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: and studied all these other cultures. Most people say, like, look, no,

147
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: he was just a carpenter the whole time. He was

148
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: building houses. But maybe there was some other stuff happening.

149
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: What's pretty crazy. Okay, time for a break. When we

150
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: come back, I will tell you these stories and you'll

151
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: see how this ties into the concept I'm shooting for here.

152
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna dign to what is an ascended Master. You know,

153
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 1: I am going to produce at least one more kit

154
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: this year. It's something that I have found incredibly valuable

155
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,640

170
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio and Coast to Coast a am

171
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: paranormal podcast network. I am your host, the Wizard of Weird,

172
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain from my

173
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day

174
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: is golden and every night is silver. All right, let's

175
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: finally get into the Infancy Gospel of Thomas Uh. The

176
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: text describes the life of the child Jesus from the

177
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: age of five up until age twelve, with fanciful and

178
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: sometimes malevolent supernatural events. He is presented as a precocious child. Okay,

179
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: so that means he's he is smarter than you would

180
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: think for his age. He's beyond his years in mental presence,

181
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: who starts his education early. The stories cover how the

182
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: young incarnation of God matures and learns to use his

183
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: powers for good, and how those around him first respond

184
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: with fear and later admiration. One of the episodes involves

185
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: Jesus making clay birds. Okay, so he gets some mud

186
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: and some water and he makes a little little clay

187
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: birds and brings them to life and they become real birds.

188
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: They fly away, and they say that that act is

189
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: also attributed to Jesus in the Korean and even some

190
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: other works. No, that sounds nice, but how about this one?

191
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: In another episode, apparently Jesus goes to collect some water

192
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 1: and some kid comes and somehow gets ahold of his water.

193
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: And I don't know if there's an accident or if

194
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: the kids being mean, but he gets Jesus's water and

195
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: just sort of like dumps it out. After Jesus went

196
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: to all this work to get this this water, and

197
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: it takes Jesus off, and so Jesus curses the boy,

198
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: which causes that boy two wither up and die. Okay,

199
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: this is like I think of a of a young Jedi.

200
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: You could be Darth Vader or Yoda, Like, which way

201
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: is this gonna go? You're like, oh, man, boy, he

202
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: he shouldn't have done that. He he he killed a kid.

203
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: And that's not the only time. Uh. He says later on,

204
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: there is an incident where some kid throws a stone

205
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: at Jesus or punches him or something along those lines.

206
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: And guess what, Jesus strikes that kid dead. Also, I mean,

207
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean he maybe he's just trying to get his

208
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: bearings on this skill he has. He goes, oh, man,

209
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: I was I went a little overboard. Um. It's like

210
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: Superman trying to give somebody a little shove and you're like, oh, man,

211
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: I just tossed that guy through a concrete wall. I

212
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: don't know, but anyway, Um, So, apparently the neighbors are

213
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 1: not happy about Jesus killing all these kids. I know,

214
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: surely you find the humor in this. Uh. And the

215
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 1: neighbors complained to Jesus's parents, Joseph and Mary. But that

216
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: takes Jesus off that the neighbors are complaining, and so

217
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 1: he decides to go easy on them, and he just

218
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: strikes them blind. Uh. And at some point, I guess

219
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: Mary or Joseph had to sit down and be like, look, dude,

220
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 1: just because you can do this does not mean you

221
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: should do this. You've got to get this thing under control.

222
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 1: And and he starts learning more and and he's he's

223
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: kind of arrogant and he's hard, stubborn and bullheaded and

224
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. But gradually he starts using

225
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: his power for good purposes. Uh. For example, you know,

226
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: he's working as as a as a carpenter, helping his

227
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: dad out. And there is some guy who falls from

228
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 1: a roof and uh and dies, and so Jesus uses

229
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,360
Speaker 1: his power to bring that guy back to life. And

230
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: then there is a guy who cuts his foot with

231
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: an axe, and then Jesus is he heals the guy's foot. Um,

232
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: they're all kinds of different, you know, little situations. I

233
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: think like at one point, as Jesus is helping out

234
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: his um, helping out his dad, the carpenter Joseph, Joseph goes, ah,

235
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: I cut this board or whatever, you know, like two

236
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: inches or six inches too short, and Jesus just reaches

237
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 1: down and goes and just stretches that board out. And

238
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: so anyway, Um, gradually, gradually he begins to realize that

239
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: I have this incredible power and I can now use

240
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: this for good purposes. And I'm giving you quite a

241
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,840
Speaker 1: general overview here, of course, But again this is all

242
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: I can do for you in a podcast. But I

243
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: think that, um, this is whether it's true or not,

244
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: it is an interesting concept, isn't it? Because there is

245
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: this great mystery of what happened to Jesus for all

246
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: all of these years, and we know so little about

247
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: his upbringing, and yet this is arguably the most famous

248
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: figure in all of human history. I realized there are

249
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: some people out there who believe that Jesus was entirely fictional. Well, okay,

250
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: if you believe that, then it doesn't matter. It's it's

251
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: still a figure that has had a profound impact on

252
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: how people think and live their lives. And so I

253
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: find this really interesting that there is this concept out there,

254
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 1: as exemplified by these stories, that life is so supposed

255
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 1: to be a big classroom. You know, don't feel too

256
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 1: bad about mistakes that you've made. You look back and

257
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: you think I was ignorant, or I was mean spirited,

258
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: or I was being a reactionary or whatever. You might

259
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 1: not need to beat yourself up so badly. As long

260
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: as you are willing to learn. You're like the prodigal son.

261
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 1: You learn and you change and you improve, and then

262
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: you come back. And and the idea here is that

263
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: even this divine spirit Jesus had to learn and grow

264
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: and therefore a sind. And so you might think about

265
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: yourself right now and be like man Um, I wish

266
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: I could be some wonderful, benevolent spiritual being. Well, guess why.

267
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: That's the whole idea. You can follow these examples and

268
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: you can change, and you can improve, and you can

269
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: be a better person in and make wiser decisions starting

270
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: right now. The life you have is a classroom. And

271
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: I want to pause for just a moment to say that,

272
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, my whole life, I've always been talking about, uh,

273
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: the spirit, the idea of a spiritual realm, and uh,

274
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: just about everything that happens in the Bible has a

275
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 1: paranormal connotation. You know, the Bible is the most paranormal

276
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: book ever written. I mean it's it's got all the goodies,

277
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: and there's some magic and spirits and angels and demons

278
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 1: and UFOs and you know other than I mean, like

279
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: all of it's in the Bible healings and miracles. Um.

280
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: And I know you might look back and look at

281
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: an ancient text like the Bible and say, well, I

282
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: have never seen any of that stuff, like like, hey,

283
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: I'm maybe you've seen some remarkable things, but it's not

284
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 1: like an angel shows up and has dinner with you

285
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: or something like they used to do back in the days. Uh,

286
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: back in those days apparently. Um. But but just I

287
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 1: want you to keep this in mind. We don't know

288
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 1: what to believe about anything if we don't personally experience it, right.

289
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of it kind of goes back to that

290
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: gnostic thing. It's like I've never been on the moon,

291
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 1: So it's it is a leap of faith for me

292
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: to say humans have been to the moon. I believe that,

293
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: but I can't say that I know for a personal fact.

294
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: And even if I did, you know, as as Edgar

295
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: Allan Post said, uh in his famous poem, all but

296
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 1: we see your seem is but a dream within a dream.

297
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,719
Speaker 1: So how do you really know anything? Right? And so

298
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: that's why I've I've always found it interesting that, Uh.

299
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:54,240
Speaker 1: I I think that there's no way that a rational

300
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: person can be an atheist, because to say I am

301
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: an atheist means I know that I believe there is

302
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: no fill in the blank. You know that, UM, and

303
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: a lot of people, uh misused skepticism as well. Skepticism.

304
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: It's like somebody doesn't believe in a ghost or a

305
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: bigfoot or whatever. They're like, oh, he's skeptical. Well, skepticism

306
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 1: is different than debunking. You know, a skeptic is supposed

307
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: to be somebody who just doubts. It's okay to doubt,

308
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: but you should doubt. You should be skeptical. You doubt things,

309
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: you reserve judgment, But when you make a judgment, you say, no,

310
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 1: this is wrong, this is wrong. This. You are moving

311
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: often beyond skepticism into what is usually cynicism in many cases,

312
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: which is an inclination to believe that people are motivated

313
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:59,399
Speaker 1: purely by self interest, which is often financial, but it

314
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: could be an number of things. And that's that's a

315
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: very negative way of viewing the world, to be a

316
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: cynical debunking person. UM. I think that if you you

317
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: should if you're a blind believer in something that may

318
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 1: not be rational, and if you are a blind disbeliever

319
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: in something that may not be rational, it may be

320
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: that the only thing that you can do that makes

321
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: any philosophical sense is to be some form of an agnostic,

322
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: meaning that you're not smart enough to know. Necessarily, you're

323
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 1: not smart enough to know. Always give yourself some wiggle

324
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 1: room there. I mean, maybe it's this, maybe it's that,

325
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:52,400
Speaker 1: But you're here to learn. Okay, fine, oh fine? So

326
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: what are we here to learn? What do they ascended

327
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: masters all say? What do they want us to do? Well?

328
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: When we come back, I'm gonna break it down for you.

Speaker 1: where the unusual becomes usual? What are the ascended masters? Well?

337
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of Madame Blavatsky Helena Blavatsky Um

338
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: She was a Ukrainian author. Let's see her. She was

339
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: born in eighteen thirty one, died in eighteen ninety one,

340
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:46,679
Speaker 1: and she co founded something called the Theosophical Society in

341
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: eighteen seventy five, and she gained an international following as

342
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: the leading theoretician of theosophy. In fact, I wrote about

343
00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: Madame Blavatsky and some about her work in my book

344
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: Use the Force, A Jedi's Guide to the Law of Attraction.

345
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 1: And Uh, I could sit here and do a whole

346
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: podcast just about Madame Blovotsky, trust me, um, but you can.

347
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: We're we're We're just gonna talk about, uh, some of

348
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: the things she was into here. Getting back to Theosophy now,

349
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at the the Wikipedia definition of Theosophy

350
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: and it says it is a religion established in the

351
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: United States during the late nineteenth century, founded primarily by

352
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: immigrant Helena Blovotsky. Draws its teachings from her writings. Characterized

353
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: by scholars of religion as both a new religious movement

354
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: and part of the occult stream of Western esotericism. It

355
00:27:53,840 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: draws upon both older European philosophies so as neo Platonism,

356
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: and Asian religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism. As presented

357
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: by Blovotsky, Theosophy teaches that there is an ancient and

358
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: secret brotherhood of spiritual adepts known as the Masters, who,

359
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 1: although found around the world, are centered in Tibet, and

360
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: these Masters are alleged by Blovotsky to have cultivated great

361
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: wisdom and supernatural powers, and theosophust believe that it was

362
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: they who initiated the modern Theosophical movement through disseminating their

363
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: teachings via Blovotsky. They believe these Masters are attempting to

364
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:48,680
Speaker 1: revive knowledge of an ancient religion once found around the world,

365
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: and which will come again to eclipse the existing world religions.

366
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: Theosophical groups do not refer to their system as a religion. Uh.

367
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: Theosophy preaches the existence of a single divine absolute and

368
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: basically goes on to say that these ascended Masters are

369
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: here to promote values of universal brotherhood and social improvement.

370
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: So that's basically what theosophy is about. And so if

371
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 1: you look up, well, what, okay, what's an ascended master.

372
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: Ascended Masters is in the ascended Master teachings of a

373
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: number of movements in the Theosophical tradition, and are held

374
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: to be spiritually enlightened beings who in past incarnations were

375
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: ordinary humans, but who have undergone a series of spiritual

376
00:29:54,840 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: transformations originally called initiations. Okay, So I mean like, look,

377
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 1: there's a lot of room here to get creative with

378
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: thinking about these enlightened ascended masters. And I would not

379
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: want to imagine they transform from you know, one type

380
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: of being to another, and they are just here to

381
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: help us out and to enlighten us. And so examples

382
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: of those that are believed to be ascended master masters

383
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 1: um by many of these organizations are people like Jesus, uh, Buddha, Confucius,

384
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: even Uh Mother Mary h Enoch St. Germaine. Uh. You know,

385
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: I guess it's it's a bit of a subjective thing

386
00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: exactly how one defines an ascended master. But that is

387
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: the idea that these these beings are here and they're

388
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: trying to help us improve. And it's kind of interesting

389
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: when you start looking at some of these people that

390
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: might be considered an ascended master or related to that,

391
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: you look at some of these titles that people have.

392
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: You know, she's talking about Tibet here, and one of

393
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: my favorite movies is called Kundun. That's a Martin Scorsese film,

394
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: which is kind of difficult to find these days. It's

395
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: about kun d u n and it's about the life

396
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: of the current Dolli Lama and all the political turmoil

397
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: that he went through. As a matter of fact, Dolly Lama,

398
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: that word actually means let's see, I wasn't sure okay,

399
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 1: So it says here it's a combination of these words.

400
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: Dolly means big or ocean okay, which makes sense. And

401
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: then this word uh blama, which means master or guru.

402
00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 1: Soy big master, he's the big guru, all right, makes sense? Um.

403
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: But this movie is called Condon, and I think that's

404
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: really interesting because if you actually look up what can

405
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: done means uh con don, which refers to this person

406
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: embodied by the dollar Lama. Condon means present or presence,

407
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 1: and and that really is profound if you stop and

408
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: think about it, because that may be the one thing

409
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: that most of us are missing, is being aware of

410
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: the present. We're always worried about the past or we're

411
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: stressing about the future. But there's something mystical about being presents. Um.

412
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the hardest thing to its chief, to just

413
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: be present. Uh. You know, you hear about people like

414
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: Mahatma Gandhi Uh I was like, what is that. What

415
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: is mahatma? Men? Well, um, it means great soul. Mahatma

416
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 1: means great soul. So you know, these are different cultures

417
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: around the world that are using language that uh hince

418
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: at the idea that some people have a deeper soul

419
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: and a greater connection to what's spiritually important. And um,

420
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: getting back to the current Bali Lama however, you know

421
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: I've mentioned before one of my favorite quotes by him,

422
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: which is also my book Used The Force. Uh. He says,

423
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: there's no benefit and worrying whatsoever. If there is a

424
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: solution to a problem, then there's no need to worry.

425
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: And if there is no solution, well then there's no

426
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: need to worry, right, And it's it's it's so simple,

427
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: but it's so difficult for us to grasp that and

428
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: to embrace that and to live by that. Also. Um,

429
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: you may or may not know this. I have written

430
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: some novels, just not many, maybe couple, I think, uh fiction. Yeah.

431
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 1: One of them is called The Greeno Maniac Murder Spree

432
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,200
Speaker 1: and it's it's an R rated manuscript in terms of

433
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: like language. It's got some language and violence in it.

434
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a Quentin Tarantino story and um, yeah,

435
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: the Gringomaniac murder spree. If you're if you're a big,

436
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: a big fan, you you may as well go to

437
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 1: Amazon and buy a copy of that one if you

438
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: like to read novels. But in the book, I was

439
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: talking about this scenario which kind of pops up going

440
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:02,320
Speaker 1: back to like the this is the student who asked

441
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 1: the great uh Tibetan master what is real? And the

442
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: master replies that which never changes? And if you think

443
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:21,879
Speaker 1: about that, you can you can explore that quite a bit.

444
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,000
Speaker 1: But in my mind what that means is, Hey, from

445
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: what I can tell, everything changes. Everything is in a

446
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: constant state of motion and evolution and transformation, and so

447
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: maybe nothing is really real. There are things that can

448
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 1: be real at a certain time, in a certain situation

449
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,840
Speaker 1: to serve a certain purpose. But ultimately everything is flexible.

450
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: You can grow, you can improve, you can be a

451
00:35:55,480 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: better person, you can help other people. Mhm. But all right,

452
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: enough of that business. Let's look at all these characters

453
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: that are often called ascended masters. Well what do they

454
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: tell us all? They ultimately tell us two things. In

455
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: my opinion, this is just my breakdown, my years of research.

456
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get, Like I say, here's year's worth of

457
00:36:26,560 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: of ascended master knowledge broken down for you in a podcast.

458
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: Two things number one. They all in one way or

459
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: another talk about the I Am principle, which is, you know,

460
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: even in the Bible, God identifies himself as I am.

461
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,719
Speaker 1: Moses says what is your name? And God says I

462
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: am Basically I am that I am, And I think

463
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: what that means is this is about that concept, is

464
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: about taking personal responsibility for yourself as an independent observer

465
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 1: of the world who can judge the world based on

466
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 1: your own logical merits and ultimately pay the consequences for

467
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: your decisions and actions. When we come back, I'm going

468
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 1: to tell you what the second thing is, and then

469
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: if I have time, I might even squeeze in a

470
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: creepy email. At least I think it's creepy. Maybe you won't,

471
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: depends on what you're into. I'm Joshua Pete Warren. You're

472
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: listening to Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and

473
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network. I will be

474
00:37:45,600 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: right back. Welcome back to the final segment of this

475
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: edition of Strange Things on the I Heart Radio and

476
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast. I am Paranormal Podcast Network. I'm your host,

477
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 1: Joshua P. Warren, And in my opinion, the first thing

478
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: the ascended masters tell you what they talk in some

479
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: form about that I am principle taking personal responsibility for

480
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: yourself as an independent observer of the world who can

481
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: judge the world based on your own logical merits and

482
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:08,239
Speaker 1: ultimately pay pay the consequences for your decisions and actions

483
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: and hopefully, hopefully you'll do well. But here's a little

484
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,960
Speaker 1: tip for you. It's not a popularity contest. You have

485
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: to think for yourself. All throughout history, we've seen over

486
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 1: and over again that oftentimes the majority of what's popular

487
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: at a certain time is like a mob mentality, and

488
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: we look back and we're horrified by it. You have

489
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: to think for yourself. History keeps trying to beat that

490
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: lesson into our heads. We live in a pretty troubling

491
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: time right now where people feel like it's okay to

492
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: jump on the internet and just be horrible and rude

493
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: and uh, and then they run around and people are

494
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 1: uh virtue signaling and trying to act like they're better

495
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: than everybody else. They say, I know what's right, and

496
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm good, and so I'm gonna force you to do

497
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:08,439
Speaker 1: what I want you to do. Uh, it's a it's

498
00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 1: a it's a contradiction. It's a self contradiction. These people

499
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: who often are like, this is the right thing to

500
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 1: do today because this is what's popular today, and I'm

501
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 1: gonna jump on that bandwagon, and then they go out

502
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: and become the thing that they supposedly hate. They become

503
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: the monster. You have to love other people and don't

504
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: try to control them and manipulate them all the time.

505
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,600
Speaker 1: And if you, I think if you do that, if

506
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 1: you actually even if you don't naturally love people, I

507
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: think you can train yourself to love people if you

508
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: just sort of um are self aware. You know. That's

509
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: what what the I Am is about. You have to

510
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,840
Speaker 1: be aware of your your animal instincts that in my

511
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: book used the four I talked about your your wookie

512
00:41:01,640 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: like Chebacca like, you know, sort of like primitive instincts

513
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 1: to just be an animal. You've got to be aware

514
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: of that, and then that will help you to actually

515
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,399
Speaker 1: be a better person. Okay. The second thing is no

516
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: big surprise. In one form or another. They all say,

517
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 1: once you have that self awareness. You use that two

518
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 1: achieve a mindset of the Golden rule. That's it, do

519
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: unto others as you would have them do unto you,

520
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

521
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: And um, all of this ultimately kind of boils down

522
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,399
Speaker 1: into it. You know, you reap what you so kind

523
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: of scenario. But even if you don't believe in karma,

524
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of people who don't believe it,

525
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 1: I happen to believe in karma. But even if you

526
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: still uh, the ascended masters were saying, be self aware,

527
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,280
Speaker 1: use the power of the I am of the observer.

528
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: Do not be swayed by things that feel you know,

529
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,880
Speaker 1: out of place or wrong. And you know, you should

530
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: be a loving being and secondly you should express that

531
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,760
Speaker 1: by way of the Golden Rule. Those are your two things,

532
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: I am and the Golden Rule. And you know, going

533
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 1: back to the Internet, I knew when the Internet came

534
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: out because I you know, I I never even heard

535
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 1: the word email until I was in college, So I

536
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 1: got to see the world before and after. I mean,

537
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 1: like right in the middle of my life, like boom,

538
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: the Internet took off and I built my first website

539
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: in or ninety gates. So I've always been very plugged

540
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: in UH, and I knew that the Internet would finally

541
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,760
Speaker 1: show us once and for all whether or not human

542
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: nature is essentially good or bad, because it would give

543
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:02,360
Speaker 1: people freedom to express and UH, it would give people

544
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 1: access to all kinds of information they wouldn't otherwise have

545
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:07,439
Speaker 1: access to. And at this point I have to tell

546
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:11,840
Speaker 1: you I'm sad to report that I think it's bad. Um.

547
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: I think it's bad because there are too many good

548
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: people out there who are weak and who don't stand

549
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,839
Speaker 1: up for goodness. You can stand up for what's right

550
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: without attacking somebody else who's wrong. If you disagree with somebody,

551
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,839
Speaker 1: you don't have to attack that person. You can just

552
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: say here's what I think is right. But too many

553
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: people are who are good are weak and afraid to

554
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: do that, and that's a shame. UM. So look, just

555
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: if you care at all about the lessons of the

556
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 1: ascended masters, every time you interact with somebody, I don't

557
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 1: care if it's in person or it's on the telephone,

558
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: or it's through the Internet or whatever, try to do

559
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 1: it as a promoter of the Golden rule. But be strong.

560
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: You don't have to attack people, you don't have to

561
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 1: try to change people. You just give your opinion strongly

562
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: and firmly, and make sure it's a good, positive opinion.

563
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 1: Don't be weak. And that's why you have to remember

564
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: that only the devil wants to restrict speech. Yeah, my

565
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: whole life is about free speech, whether you like it

566
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 1: or not. Free speech is a divine right. The devil,

567
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: so to speak, will take it away, the enemy will

568
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: take it away, the darkness. Take those lessons. I've bowled

569
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: them down for you best I can. And now you

570
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: can go and do more research on your own if

571
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:53,360
Speaker 1: you'd like. That's what the ascended masters are all telling us,

572
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 1: and that's how you can apply it to to your

573
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: life today. Perhaps here's uh, let's see an email I

574
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: got from Thomas Hancock from Oregon. He says, in September

575
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: of two thousand and eight, my grandmother, who I was

576
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:16,240
Speaker 1: very close to, died at nine nine years old. Being

577
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 1: so close to her, I knew that her very favorite

578
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 1: animal in the whole world, oddly enough, was the daddy

579
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: long legs spider. Let me pause to let you all

580
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:35,799
Speaker 1: know I, Joshua not a fan of spidery things all

581
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: right back to his email. Anyway, she loved to watch them,

582
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: and it was not uncommon to see her letting them

583
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: dance gangly across her fingers. Just weeks after Grandma's passing,

584
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: I went on a hunting trip with a friend of

585
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: mine and we found a nice secluded area and set

586
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: up camp. We started our fire just before dark and

587
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: we started talking about my Grandma. For whatever reason, I

588
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 1: had always favored saying goodbye to loved ones that had

589
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: passed by getting back to nature as opposed to attending

590
00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 1: a funeral, so this seemed like the perfect time to

591
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: reminisce about her and say my goodbyes. Well about an

592
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: hour into our conversation, we both noticed that it looked

593
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: like the ground was moving. We turned on our head

594
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 1: lamps to see the entire campsite and the bottom of

595
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: our pant legs entirely covered. We have daddy long legs.

596
00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: I would say that an area of about ten ft

597
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 1: by ten feet was completely covered by them. I was

598
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 1: so overwhelmed with strong feelings and thoughts of Grandma that

599
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: it almost seemed that she was there with me. We

600
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 1: let the little creatures be, and they and and we

601
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: just kept talking. They crawled everywhere. After about thirty minutes

602
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: of this, we decided to go our separate tents. Go

603
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 1: to our separate tents to get some sleep. The Daddy

604
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: long legs were still everywhere, covering the ground, and after

605
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:17,879
Speaker 1: about ten minutes, my friend had to get up as

606
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: nature called. He turned on his head lamp, stepped out

607
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:25,520
Speaker 1: of his tent and found mine completely covered with the

608
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,200
Speaker 1: Daddy long legs. There were none on his tent are

609
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: around the area we were sitting out before. And as

610
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:35,720
Speaker 1: his light shined on my tent, all I could see. Uh,

611
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 1: As his light shined on my tent, Uh, Yeah, all
