Today on Sense of Soul Podcast is Geoff Thompson, he is a BAFTA-winning screenwriter film-maker, spiritual teacher, prolific British author and martial arts expert. Geoff has written over 50 books.
He joined Shanna to share his newest book called, 99 Reasons To Forgive, and Revenge Ain’t One. His journey to understand forgiveness. Geoff Thompson was sexually abused at the tender age of 11 by a trusted and beloved teacher. By the time he was 30 years old he was unconsciously displacing his rage into violence, sexual self-harm and long bouts of debilitating depression. After failing to find a solution to his burgeoning mania in all the conventional places, he set off on a Campbellian quest to find the answers for himself: about abuse, about the aftermath of abuse, about the true meaning of forgiveness, its metaphysical power, and how it is possible to heal, no matter how deep or how old the wound.
He assures us that "there is treasure in the ruins", "there can be profit in sorrow and in suffering", and, with a few tried and tested, honest techniques and a heavy supply of courage, victims can reclaim their lives, they can win love and they can find healing and inspiration, post-abuse.

is a BATHTA winning writer, a
filmmaker, screenwriter, spiritual teacher, prolific
21
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:46.079
British author and martial arts expert and
he's joining us today to share his book
22
00:01:46.359 --> 00:01:53.680
on forgiveness ninety nine Reasons to Forgive
and Revenge eight one. Hi Jeff,
23
00:01:55.719 --> 00:01:57.920
I'm good, Thank you. Nice
to meet you. Where do you join
24
00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:04.079
us from? From Stratford upon Avon. Stratford is the birthplace of Shakespeare.
25
00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.800
All of the buildings in Stratford Center
are as they were in Shakespeare's time.
26
00:02:09.439 --> 00:02:15.120
Oh really nice, Thank you so
much for joining me today. Decided to
27
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:20.759
talk about your book and it's something
that we haven't talked about in a long
28
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.560
time. And I think when it
comes to what holds people back, I
29
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:30.639
think of fear often, you know, the fear to forgive. And yeah,
30
00:02:30.680 --> 00:02:35.120
I do think it's so important because
I think it's such a heavy energy
31
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:43.479
that people carry very true forgiveness.
It's a complicated and complex subject. My
32
00:02:43.599 --> 00:02:49.400
book is offering like a new denotation
on forgiveness. The discussion of forgiveness has
33
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:53.759
always been should somebody be forgiven?
And if they should be forgiven, to
34
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.759
what degree should they be forgiven?
And how many times should be forgive?
35
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:02.879
But it's always presuming that means pardon, But forgiveness doesn't mean pardon. We
36
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:08.000
haven't got the power to pardon people
as human beings. That's a divine attribute.
37
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.159
I don't have the power to pardon
you or you to pardon me.
38
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:17.240
At the courts don't even have that
power because unless you're contritely remorse, whatever
39
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:21.599
sin is in you is not going
to be released. So there's a higher
40
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:28.039
power, a reciprocal, omniscient,
omnipotent, omnipresent power that levels the hills
41
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.960
and fills the valleys. We don't
have that power. What we do have
42
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.759
the power to do is to give
it over to that power. It's an
43
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.479
intellectual distinction, but it's the difference
between holding onto something hoping for justice and
44
00:03:39.599 --> 00:03:46.560
fearing that justice won't come, and
recognizing that justice is already guaranteed. That's
45
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:51.400
already guaranteed because it's a reciprocal universe. You know, the law of causation
46
00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.879
settles all the books. Who we
don't have to worry about justice. Justice
47
00:03:55.919 --> 00:04:00.919
will be served. So because we
hold on to and the ego thinks it's
48
00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:04.439
got the power, can hold onto
this and by hold the power of over
49
00:04:04.520 --> 00:04:11.719
whether or not you're pardoned. It's
just a delicious bond or entanglement of energy.
50
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.919
So between you and whoever it is
that you're holding the resentment for the
51
00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:19.680
fear, as you say, of
letting go of, it blocks energy.
52
00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:27.360
It contains energy, fear, anger, resentment, dissonance of these confusions,
53
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.759
the need for witness, revenge.
That is a living energy, and it
54
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:35.319
contains light, but it also blocks
light. It stops the flow of light.
55
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:41.800
It actually acts as a filter for
light. So when I was abused
56
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:46.279
at the age of eleven by a
beloved teacher, every decision I'm made from
57
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:51.800
that point onwards unconsciously, but every
decision I'm made was filtered through the film
58
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:59.920
of fear. So that energy holds
light, It filters light, It blocks
59
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:01.879
light. It stops the flow of
light, a bit like some fat in
60
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:06.199
an archery or in a vein,
how it blocks the flowing and can create
61
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:10.959
physical death, we can create spiritual
death. So this book is saying,
62
00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:16.120
obviously there's lots of great discussions about
forgiveness, but they're they're all centered around
63
00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:21.360
should someone be forgiven? And who
should be forgiven? Everyone should be forgiven
64
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:28.000
everyone, because when we forgive,
we give it over to a power that
65
00:05:28.040 --> 00:05:32.000
knows how to settle the balls.
And obviously I'm afraid not to forgive,
66
00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:38.480
as I'm paraphrasing al Ghazali, because
I'm afraid not to be forgiven because i
67
00:05:38.600 --> 00:05:45.319
know how many things I've done wrong
myself. So karma or reciprocity is a
68
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.360
fat burg and we all contribute to
it. Everybody. Everybody contributes in their
69
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:53.439
own way a little bit. And
if you contribute a little bit, you
70
00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.959
know you're responsible for all of it. So what we learn to do is,
71
00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:02.839
to quote Gourd Jeff, is to
love everything that breathe. So we
72
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:08.920
give over anything that threatens to block
the flow of spiritual light or you could
73
00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:15.120
call it consciousness or elixir or the
philosopher's stone. There's lots of names for
74
00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:17.759
this, that could call it the
attractive forces love. A lot of the
75
00:06:17.839 --> 00:06:25.279
names sound a bit sickly sweet,
but actually it's a very very powerful medicinal,
76
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:31.879
creative force that gets hijacked by anger, by fear, by confusion,
77
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:38.199
by mv by by gossip, you
know, by all the things we see
78
00:06:38.199 --> 00:06:44.000
on the newspapers. So I don't
need to concern myself with corrupt politicians,
79
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:48.000
with greedy bankers, with violent fundamentalists. The business of the world is not
80
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:53.560
my business. As Roomy says,
what fruits do you bring? So the
81
00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:57.480
business for me of the world is
the business of the soul. It makes
82
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:00.199
sure I've got to mention that I
keep this spirit, actual energy flow in
83
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.480
and don't let it get hijacked and
blocked. As you rightly said at the
84
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:10.439
very beginning, the key word fear. There's only one legitimate fear, and
85
00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:15.600
that's the fear of being disconnected from
our source, disconnected from God. That's
86
00:07:15.639 --> 00:07:18.839
the only legitimate fear. All other
fears non fears, They're not real.
87
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:26.959
So if we allow a parasitical force
or a virus, or a samuel autonomous
88
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:30.160
thought form or a pain body as
Ecartes only would call it, if we
89
00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:34.680
allow it to take over our autonomy
by blocking us with fear, we no
90
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:40.879
longer have autonomy. We have another
force working through us and creating karma in
91
00:07:40.920 --> 00:07:44.560
the world for us that we will
have to meet at some point. So
92
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:47.600
I'll come back to what room,
he said again, forget the business of
93
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.480
the world. What fruits are you
bringing? I need to make sure that
94
00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:58.480
what I think, I say,
I do comes from a place of love.
95
00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:03.920
It is wisdom and with love,
that's the practice, that's the work.
96
00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.279
And that's difficult because most people can't
even go a day without having a
97
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:13.279
negative opinion, without gossiping, without
thinking or saying or doing. Something can
98
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.160
kind, even if it's only a
little thing, even if it's only like
99
00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:20.000
a venal sin still adds to the
fat bird channel, you know. So
100
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.079
for me, the work is always
on the self. The world is a
101
00:08:24.160 --> 00:08:28.079
distraction. All of these cartoon villains
that portrayed on our television, they are
102
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:33.480
there to entice and to capture our
energy. By given us outrage and given
103
00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.159
us fear. First of all,
we bring ourselves back to balance, and
104
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.879
then we can contribute to the world. Then we can chip away at the
105
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:45.919
fat bird. We can either be
neutral and just observe, or we can
106
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:48.519
just add love to everything we do. That will chip away at it.
107
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:58.159
And I feel that when you are
basically kept hostage by such energies that are
108
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:03.960
living within your it is really truly
the freedom and the seignty that you feel
109
00:09:03.039 --> 00:09:07.039
for the self as you forgive some
mine. So really, forgiving someone I
110
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:13.799
have found is actually for myself.
Yeah, it's always for you because it
111
00:09:13.879 --> 00:09:16.919
captures your energy, hijacks it,
and the worst thing is it takes out
112
00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:22.000
your autonomy. You no longer have
free will. While you hold any resentment
113
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:26.240
to anybody else, you are bound
to them. It's like a like a
114
00:09:26.279 --> 00:09:28.679
tube connecting the two of you.
You are quantumly entangled, and the two
115
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:33.159
of you can't be seen as separate. So even over time and space,
116
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:37.320
even if you're separated by a time
and space, even if you're separated by
117
00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:41.240
death, that person can still climb
inside you, or that parasite that they've
118
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:46.240
left in you, that energy,
that thought form, and it can still
119
00:09:46.279 --> 00:09:50.960
take over. So somebody that abuses
you thirty years ago, even if they're
120
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:54.679
dead, they can still be abusing
your naw because they've left that virus in
121
00:09:54.840 --> 00:10:01.759
your So forgiveness is the antibody that
climbs in and FI and I wouldn't say
122
00:10:01.759 --> 00:10:05.559
it kills it. I'll say it
converts it. So in Judaism, the
123
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:13.080
philosophy or the theology and Judaism is
not that we killed darkness or kill evil.
124
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:16.840
It's that we recognize that it contains
light and we convert it to light,
125
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:24.080
or that it contains consciousness and we
convert it to consciousness, so it's
126
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.240
no longer filtering our pure energy through
it. If you imagine it's like I
127
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:33.240
think in judaismly call it the clipot. It's like a darkness that has several
128
00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:39.080
layers of darkness surrounding this piece of
this tincture of light, this tincture of
129
00:10:39.240 --> 00:10:43.799
wisdom or God. And when we
forgive it, we give it over the
130
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.080
nature of the fear as liberated,
and the effulgence comes over to us and
131
00:10:48.120 --> 00:10:52.039
we expand in consciousness. So each
time we forgive somebody, we take our
132
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.840
our time and be back a little
bit more and a little bit more.
133
00:10:56.120 --> 00:10:58.919
So this is saying to people two
things. One, this isn't about my
134
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:03.200
sorry story of abuse. This is
the saying to people, there is life
135
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.840
after abuse, There is knowledge after
abuse, there is consciousness. You can
136
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:11.519
go up a grade after abuse because
the abuse I suffered put me on a
137
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:15.799
journey of discovery. I wanted to
know why or suffering. I wanted to
138
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:20.720
know why I've got no autonomy.
So it sent me on this deep dive
139
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:26.200
of study to find out what reality
really was. And every time I overcame
140
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:30.559
a fear, And every time I
forgave somebody or gave that over that was
141
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.879
liberated, I let them go.
It could no longer feed off me.
142
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:39.080
They had to go and look after
their own repentant and I literally expanded.
143
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:43.279
So the world I look at today
out of my window, it's not the
144
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.200
world I looked at when I was
possessed by one of these parasites at the
145
00:11:48.200 --> 00:11:52.440
age of twenty three, when I
was self harming, sexually self harming and
146
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:58.440
being violent in the world, either
being violent or being depressed. The world
147
00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:01.919
I look at now, I'm living
in a Grade two listed barn conversion one
148
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.919
hundred yards from where Shakespeare was married. That is not a change of location,
149
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.559
Charlo. That's a change of perception. And perception can only change if
150
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:18.279
we convert the old perceptions, the
old beliefs, the old angers into light.
151
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.559
And again, when you say light, it can sound that very kind
152
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:26.480
of socks and sandals. But when
you think about it as consciousness or awareness
153
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:31.960
or a lixa, this has an
absolutely life transforming power, and it's available
154
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.440
to everybody. But at the moment
it's being bled by the vampire of anger,
155
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:43.360
of injustice, or the sense of
injustice. But there can't be an
156
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:48.240
injustice in a reciprocal world. There
can't be. There is always, there
157
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.720
will always be justice eventually, So
I don't worry about him over there being
158
00:12:52.799 --> 00:13:00.000
outed and me having witnessed revenge your
justice. I concentrate on the corrupt policy
159
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:03.039
tian in me. I concentrate on
the greedy banker in me. The violent
160
00:13:03.080 --> 00:13:07.759
fundamental state are there? You know, some of them as Christna murty,
161
00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.799
which set our thousands of years old. You know we've inherited them. It's
162
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:16.480
a genetic curse. But it's also
a genetic gift because if we recognize that
163
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.360
each of these beliefs, each of
these angers, each of these outrages,
164
00:13:20.480 --> 00:13:26.840
contains light, and that light is
being consumed in us by these feelings,
165
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.120
we can convert that light, have
the effulgence for ourselves. We can confront
166
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:37.399
these demons. We can absorb ninety
nine of the darkness so it spills back
167
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:43.320
out and retain the light. That
way, you can genuinely have autonomy.
168
00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:46.519
If you're going to watch the television
screen and feel outraged the moment you see
169
00:13:46.519 --> 00:13:52.440
this politician or that banker, or
that celebrity or this person, if you
170
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:56.399
feel outrage or anger or judgment every
time you see it, you have to
171
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.720
remember that your autonomy has just been
stolen. Literally, your cause or body
172
00:14:00.759 --> 00:14:03.799
has been taken over, and it's
actually as you and through you in the
173
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:09.120
world. So sevenal time of thought
forms are climbing inside you and they're feeding
174
00:14:09.159 --> 00:14:13.600
off the food bank called Jeff Thompson
or whoever you are. So we don't
175
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:18.399
allow that. We recognize the rules, recognize the laws who recognize that our
176
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:22.840
battle isn't really with people. Our
battle is with principalities, to paraphrase Saint
177
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:28.039
Paul, with dark forces. They
are out there, just like the forces
178
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.559
of electricity are out there. And
these forces can be seen as in the
179
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:35.159
enemy if you want to see them
as in enemy, or you can look
180
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:39.320
at them and go, well,
if I can convert that those enemies,
181
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.039
that those forces that are in me, I can create light from that,
182
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.039
I can actually benefit from this.
There is a massive amount of energy in
183
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:52.720
there. So there's some kid out
there now who's been abused and being been
184
00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:56.480
mistreated. What I'm saying to them
is all that energy you're feel inside with
185
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:00.840
that rage, you know that depression, you know that sense of injustice,
186
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:05.759
that need for witness revenge. That's
a massive energy that you can convert.
187
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:09.279
Now it's cash in the bank.
They've given you that to you, and
188
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:13.759
if you can let them go and
trust in reciprocity, trust in justice,
189
00:15:13.879 --> 00:15:16.759
it is there. Trusting it.
You only have to watch. You watch
190
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:20.600
to tell you for twelve months these
days, you're watching people being brought to
191
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:24.360
justice again and again and again.
Even the most powerful, even royalty,
192
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:30.039
even people at the very top of
you know, of politics, are being
193
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:35.240
brought to justice again and again and
again. We need to just concern ourselves.
194
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.080
If we're talking about truth and reconciliation, which we are about truth and
195
00:15:39.159 --> 00:15:45.960
reconciliation needs to occur in us.
If we're talking about equality, there needs
196
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:50.279
to be an equality in us,
not some lower elements and some higher elements.
197
00:15:50.480 --> 00:15:54.639
If we're talking about the wealth devari
you know, we need to find
198
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:56.879
that. We need to find that
balance in us because there are parts of
199
00:15:56.960 --> 00:16:00.879
us that are poor with knowledge and
ignorant, and the parts of us that
200
00:16:02.039 --> 00:16:07.000
are rich in knowledge, and that
those that equality or that wealthy divide needs
201
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:11.320
to be balanced within us. And
when we get that right, the world
202
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:18.200
will mysteriously look after itself. That
would be nice. Well it's there,
203
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.559
and I wouldn't ask anybody to believe
me. You know, it's not something
204
00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.080
I'm trying to prove. My word
isn't enough. It's something that you need
205
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:30.879
to research. It's something you need
to do the study on. It needs
206
00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.120
rigor, you know, and to
do the rigor, you need energy.
207
00:16:34.159 --> 00:16:38.240
But where is that energy. It's
lent out to the ten thousand things.
208
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:44.159
Our energy is so watered down by
all of the mortgages that we've taken out
209
00:16:44.840 --> 00:16:48.200
and all the covenants we've taken out
with different beliefs, that we haven't got
210
00:16:48.200 --> 00:16:52.879
the energy to challenge reality. So
the Buddhists say that we first have to
211
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:59.000
recapture all our energy by breaking those
covenants. Then we have enough energy to
212
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:06.480
challenge, to go beyond the stratosphere
of old perception and find a new level
213
00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:10.880
of living, a new level of
belief. And then when you find it
214
00:17:10.920 --> 00:17:15.279
for yourself. It's a certainty.
In Islam, they call it yakim,
215
00:17:15.319 --> 00:17:18.599
which means the truth is undy and
argued right in front of your Yakim is
216
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:23.279
one of the ninety nine names of
God in the Quran. It's actually is
217
00:17:23.599 --> 00:17:29.960
an attribute of God. In other
words, it contains within that little kind
218
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.799
of tincture of wisdom, it contains
all of God. So when we have
219
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:37.359
certainty about something, nothing can take
it away, nothing can deny it.
220
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:41.440
It's very powerful, but we have
to really fight for that. We have
221
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:47.640
to fight against the ten thousand beliefs
that are thrown out as every single day,
222
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:49.920
that are all subjective, that are
rule full of anger, that rule
223
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.720
full of hate or judgment, or
full of self pity, or full of
224
00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:59.759
all of those delicious things that parasites
like to feed off. We don't have
225
00:17:59.839 --> 00:18:02.880
to play that game. We don't
have to go to that party. So
226
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:06.839
anybody out there who's suffering, now
you can begin the end of your suffering
227
00:18:06.920 --> 00:18:11.680
by no longer engaging the anger,
no longer identifying with the anger, no
228
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:18.079
longer no longer taking that thought and
letting it incarnate. That the probably the
229
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:21.799
best book in the world at the
moment for this specific technique if you want
230
00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:25.240
to go directly to it is that
cart Totally's book, The Power of Now.
231
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:30.640
It's a book about exercising what he
would call pain bodies or parasites,
232
00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:36.680
energies that seed off our life force, and his technique is basically the whole
233
00:18:36.680 --> 00:18:41.759
of Buddhism. It's based on dependent
arising. It's basically saying that reality exists
234
00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.680
at the level of engagement. If
we don't engage these thoughts, they have
235
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:51.799
no life. If we don't identify
with them, they have no life.
236
00:18:51.839 --> 00:18:56.160
They wander around the stratosphere in their
own frequency. And when we engage them
237
00:18:56.559 --> 00:19:00.119
or identify with them, when we
couple with them and give them a sense,
238
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.880
they take over our body. We
think these thought forms are us,
239
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:07.359
and then the appslues in the world
and create lots of problems, and then
240
00:19:07.400 --> 00:19:11.079
we go I don't know what happened. It wasn't myself. It was out
241
00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:15.200
of character. I don't know why
I did it. I have no idea
242
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:18.599
why I did that. And it's
because it wasn't us, because we haven't
243
00:19:18.640 --> 00:19:22.319
got any defense against it, because
we haven't got an awareness on our mind,
244
00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.599
or it just enters like an open
pantry the practice. I want to
245
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:33.960
excite people out there and say to
the practice is all within you. It's
246
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:38.359
an inside job. You won't fix
it by fixing that politician, that banker,
247
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:42.359
that neighbor, that barking dog.
All of it can be fixed in
248
00:19:42.440 --> 00:19:45.920
you. So people are trying to
fix the world at the level of the
249
00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:49.559
screen, but you won't fix the
world at the level of the screen.
250
00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:52.720
You've got to come back to the
projector you've got to change the film.
251
00:19:52.759 --> 00:19:57.640
And the film is us. That's
our perceptions, our cognitions, our precepts,
252
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:03.720
our concepts are belief. It's a
big job, but it's singular.
253
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:08.319
It's just within you. I agree. You said that very beautiful. The
254
00:20:08.319 --> 00:20:11.680
Power of Now the New Earth is
one of my favorite books, probably my
255
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.880
most recommended, and you said it
much more beautifully than I would have.
256
00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:21.119
I always say that it's a great
way to stop sitting in other people's ship
257
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:25.960
with them and allowing them to sit
in their own shite. If you allow
258
00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:30.680
yourself to be angry at somebody,
you are bound to the nature of your
259
00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:33.559
anger. You're entangled with them.
The way to disentangle is to say I
260
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:37.559
don't I'm not going to do that
does it come from a place of wisdom
261
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:40.519
and love? No, then don't
think it, don't say it, don't
262
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.160
do it. You have the power
to do that. It will take practice.
263
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.759
What I like about our Cart's book
is that it's taken all of the
264
00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:49.440
different faith and it's come up with
a single thing that we can all do,
265
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:53.079
which is we can choose what we
think, or what we choose to
266
00:20:53.119 --> 00:20:56.559
engage, what we don't choose to
engage, or we can be completely neutral.
267
00:20:56.680 --> 00:21:02.400
But it's a very muscular book.
It's an entry level book offering you
268
00:21:02.480 --> 00:21:04.960
an Olympic level technique. It needs
practice. If you're not going to change
269
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:08.279
the world, if you can't change
your own waist side, if you're getting
270
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:14.440
tapped out by cigarettes and red wine
ten times a day, by judgment or
271
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:18.839
by unqualified opinion, if you can't
actually control your own physical and mental body,
272
00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:22.640
will be very difficult. But that's
where you can start. You can
273
00:21:22.680 --> 00:21:25.880
go, well, if this magic
is real, which we know it is,
274
00:21:26.279 --> 00:21:29.400
then let's prove it on my body. You know? Have I got
275
00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:33.559
autonomy? And by being defeated every
single day by foods I eat, and
276
00:21:33.640 --> 00:21:37.759
I'm not worried about the foods people
eats. I'm worried about what they're feeding.
277
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:41.279
It's not what they're eating. Because
when we can't control our autonomy with
278
00:21:41.359 --> 00:21:45.319
our food, our food body permeates
to all the other bodies through the subtle
279
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:49.680
bodies. It compromises the will force, and the will force the causal body
280
00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:52.359
or the bliss body, is the
one. It's the working arm of the
281
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:56.599
soul. It's the closest to the
soul. That's what they would call in
282
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.839
the Christian Bible or the kingdom.
So if you let any kind of other
283
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.160
force take over your kingdom, you
haven't got a kingdom. It will let
284
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:08.359
you think you're in charge. But
every time you want to overreach, you
285
00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:12.839
run to the pantry. Every time
you want to watch sexual pornography or violent
286
00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:19.400
pornography or gossip. You know,
this thought form takes over your autonomy and
287
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:23.960
goes and does it. A Cart's
book is a very beautiful and gentle introduction
288
00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:26.839
to this. I would say it's
the best book in the world. To
289
00:22:27.000 --> 00:22:30.720
go directly to this. You need
to start working on it immediately. But
290
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:37.160
that's exciting because the world is insoluble
and that creates dissonance, cognitive dissonance,
291
00:22:37.319 --> 00:22:41.960
So we don't know how to fix
it. So we cast judgments or we
292
00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:45.319
give money to charity, but it
doesn't fix anything because the issue is back
293
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.039
here. It's not we're not trying
to fix the world. We're trying to
294
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:52.000
come back to the projector and we're
trying to change the film. And that
295
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:57.240
might mean to challenging thousands of years
of culture, thousands of years of belief
296
00:22:57.319 --> 00:23:00.720
perception. It might mean going to
ent to our family and friends and the
297
00:23:00.759 --> 00:23:04.839
people around you, because they're quite
happy to sit in that ship. But
298
00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:08.599
I'm not and you're not. So
let's change it. But let's prove it
299
00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.480
to ourselves. Can I take my
clothes off and stand in front of the
300
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:15.640
mirror and go, I've made this
magic work on my own body. I
301
00:23:15.680 --> 00:23:21.119
am in charge of my physical body. I'm in charge of my breath body,
302
00:23:21.440 --> 00:23:23.279
I'm in charge of my mind all
intellect. I can make it do
303
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:27.440
the work it needs to do in
order for me to expand and in order
304
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:34.240
for me to contract ego and expand
consciousness. The people bypass the things that
305
00:23:34.240 --> 00:23:37.200
are right in front of us because
I think they're not important. But if
306
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:41.839
the devil's going to enter anywhere,
he's going to enter at the level of
307
00:23:41.079 --> 00:23:45.319
food, because that sits in the
gross physical body, and it purred me.
308
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:48.680
Ain't suit a bit like poison in
a well. You know, eventually
309
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:53.279
it affects the whole village, doesn't
it. So we can start by going,
310
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.400
yeah, this is important. You
know, my physical body is important.
311
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:00.359
Of course it is. If I
put in water through a dirty hose,
312
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.720
it's going to come out dirty.
That's just standard. And that's what
313
00:24:03.799 --> 00:24:08.279
we are. We're a tabernacle,
We're a hose. We're a vessel for
314
00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:12.440
the light of God, for the
light of consciousness. And it needs to
315
00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:18.519
keep flowing. There's a lovely line
from Roomy. He says, the water
316
00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:23.960
wheel receives the water and gives it
all the way weeping. That's the only
317
00:24:23.960 --> 00:24:27.799
way it stays in the garden.
So we have to receive this energy and
318
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.960
keep it flowing and keep giving it
away. We don't hold on to it
319
00:24:32.000 --> 00:24:36.319
greedily. We're not jealous husbands.
We keep it moving. We don't let
320
00:24:36.359 --> 00:24:40.519
it get polluted by anger, by
hate, by distance, by confusion.
321
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:44.519
We take control of all our bodies
and we go I don't understand this,
322
00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.400
okay, Well that's a great darma
gate. I don't understand this. That's
323
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.680
a darma gate. Let's go through
that. There's a university behind that gate
324
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:56.799
and we can start to learn.
Moment you open that gate, you will
325
00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.160
be noticed. There'll be angelic forces
out there, which are very real.
326
00:25:00.319 --> 00:25:04.960
Intelligence is that will go this is
Jeff or this is Shanna. This is
327
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:07.440
what she wants to do, and
this is what she wants to learn,
328
00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.240
and this is the pace you can
work out. And we're going to assist
329
00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:15.680
her because it benefits them to assist
you, just as it benefits you to
330
00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:18.519
assist the people that maybe that are
a couple of rungs down the ladder from
331
00:25:18.559 --> 00:25:22.920
you. So it's exciting for all
the people out there who may be suffering
332
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:26.400
because I'm saying to them, you're
suffering contains light. Don't keep suffering.
333
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:32.640
Turn into it, investigate it,
be curious about it. The brain has
334
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:37.000
a very strange quirt where it can't
deal with fear and curiosity at the same
335
00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:41.920
time. So be curious about your
fear. Be curious about that depression that's
336
00:25:41.960 --> 00:25:47.039
stopping you from expanding. No,
is it really that powerful? You know,
337
00:25:47.359 --> 00:25:48.880
how long is it going to sit
around if you actually turn into it?
338
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:52.920
If instead of running away from it
and covering it with medication or with
339
00:25:52.960 --> 00:25:56.400
alcohol or with wherever you cover it
with, why not turn into it?
340
00:25:56.440 --> 00:26:00.000
And so come in, have a
sit down, have a cup of tea,
341
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.599
stay as long as you want.
This is Eco's technique. Who's the
342
00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:08.240
moister of this? M Yeah,
definitely, you know. And as you're
343
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:15.480
saying this, what's arising as I
scan through some inventory of what I may
344
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.480
have thought I'd forgive it? Sometimes
we think we did forgive, or we
345
00:26:18.519 --> 00:26:25.960
say we actually do forgive, but
yet there's this resentment and bitterness that still
346
00:26:26.000 --> 00:26:30.799
resides within. And one of mine
recently husband against my religion so that I
347
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:34.319
was born into. And you know, I definitely feel like I have.
348
00:26:34.920 --> 00:26:41.559
You know, religious trauma syndrome or
RTS is the new term. And you
349
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.759
know, as much as I can
say, oh I think piece of this
350
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.839
or whatever, I'm still very angry
and bitter and still going through it.
351
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:55.559
Do you find sometimes we're just saying
we forgive things, but actually at the
352
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:59.559
core we have not. Yeah.
I look about a friend recently and he
353
00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:03.319
said, I've forgiven my mom and
dad, he said, but I'll never
354
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:06.519
forget. I will never forget.
I said, So you're still angry at
355
00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:08.440
them. And he goes, well, well, I'm never going to forget
356
00:27:08.480 --> 00:27:11.640
it. I said, so you're
feeding it and starving it at the same
357
00:27:11.680 --> 00:27:14.960
time. Your parasite has let you
believe you've forgiven, but you're having You're
358
00:27:14.960 --> 00:27:18.000
still feeding it. I said,
you can't feed it and starve it at
359
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:21.119
the same time. You know,
I said, if you've made any mistakes,
360
00:27:21.359 --> 00:27:22.559
He goes, yeah, a lot. And I says, do you
361
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.359
want to be forgiven? And this
is yeah. I said, well you'll
362
00:27:26.359 --> 00:27:30.480
be forgiven to the degree that you
can forgive others if we go beyond the
363
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:33.440
And I don't obviously I don't know
your trauma, but I'm looking at religion
364
00:27:33.519 --> 00:27:37.400
generally. The revealed books are binary. You know, it's like yes,
365
00:27:37.480 --> 00:27:41.279
no, right, wrong, this
is the truth. We don't question it.
366
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:45.359
That's the binary revealed Bible. But
there is a quantum Bible. There's
367
00:27:45.359 --> 00:27:48.839
a hidden Bible beyond that, which, when you go into it, automatically
368
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:53.599
recognizes you. Now, all the
stuff we see in religion that repels us,
369
00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:59.160
that pushes us away is the house
ghost. It says, don't come
370
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:02.160
here, there's fire and thorn's here. Don't come here unless you're serious.
371
00:28:02.519 --> 00:28:06.960
Unless you're serious about the business of
perception and changing reality, you don't come
372
00:28:07.000 --> 00:28:10.160
here because we're just going to scare
you away with all the usual things.
373
00:28:10.880 --> 00:28:14.640
You know. So most people are
scared away by the Binary Book, which
374
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:18.400
is can be quite insulting in its
assertion of certain things. But when you
375
00:28:18.440 --> 00:28:22.119
go beyond that and you go through
that diamond game, you hit the hidden
376
00:28:22.200 --> 00:28:26.079
books, the esoteric. It isn't
any of those things. You might go
377
00:28:26.119 --> 00:28:30.440
into the Old Testament and then you've
got the Tour Run, and then you've
378
00:28:30.440 --> 00:28:33.480
got the Zoha, then you've got
the Tanya. You've got all of these
379
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:37.920
great commentaries on these books, and
go into something like the Zohar, for
380
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:41.279
instance, which is the commentary on
the exegesis of the Tour of the Old
381
00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:45.759
Testament, and the Zohar is quantum. You might go through there and not
382
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:51.319
understand anything, but your soul will
understand it, will read it like a
383
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:53.480
bar code. You might not understand
any of it, but the devil will
384
00:28:53.559 --> 00:28:57.519
understand you, just like you might
not understand an antibiotic, but the virus
385
00:28:57.519 --> 00:29:02.480
will understand it. Okay about that, So you go into these books,
386
00:29:02.759 --> 00:29:06.559
you might read and take fifty notes
that are all disparate, they don't really
387
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:08.720
connect. But when you bring those
notes together and then do notes on the
388
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:12.079
notes and notes on the notes on
the notes, you'll end up with You'll
389
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:17.839
end up with a single concept nucleus, like an acorn that you can open
390
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:22.920
and grow that has the potential to
become five hundred years old, two hundred
391
00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:27.640
foot high, and produce another million
acorns with the same potential. That's what
392
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:33.039
one single concept nucleus can do.
So that's in the very bibles we reject
393
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:37.799
and we reject on because the house
ghosts of whatever it is. You know,
394
00:29:38.319 --> 00:29:42.960
obviously there's been lots of abuses and
lots of fundamentalism in all of the
395
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:48.200
religions, but they're still house ghosts. If we go beyond that, if
396
00:29:48.200 --> 00:29:51.599
we're serious and we go beyond that, you'll end with the Diameadgate. Well,
397
00:29:51.599 --> 00:29:55.880
I went into the Zohar. It
took me six months of full time
398
00:29:55.960 --> 00:30:00.279
reading to finish. It's twenty six
volumes. I had seventy pages of notes,
399
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:04.440
which I reduced to one word.
One word, breath. But that
400
00:30:04.559 --> 00:30:11.920
one word is a concept nucleus.
Breath means numa spirit Elxa. The Philosopher's
401
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:17.440
stone. It was just a library
of more interesting things. So I started
402
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:21.319
to explore that, started to go
into the different levels of breath, like
403
00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:23.920
the oxygen in the food, the
primer in the breath, which is for
404
00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:26.599
the lower and highest soul, and
then for the highest soul you've got the
405
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:30.519
tinctures of wisdom, which you can
only get when you've got the lower souls
406
00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:36.240
connected. So you know, the
single nucleus led me on to a whole.
407
00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:38.839
At the moment, I'm writing a
book that so far as four hundred
408
00:30:38.839 --> 00:30:45.960
and fifty thousand words long, just
from these tiny single nucleuses. So if
409
00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:51.559
you go into the Hidden Bible,
all of that stuff is disappeared. It
410
00:30:51.599 --> 00:30:55.240
will just say this is Jeff,
Well, this is Shanna, this is
411
00:30:55.279 --> 00:30:59.319
what she needs to see, and
your message is hidden in there. Nobody
412
00:30:59.359 --> 00:31:03.039
else could find find it because it
has your blueprint, it has your DNA
413
00:31:03.079 --> 00:31:06.519
on it. Literally nobody could find
it. It's hidden. It's only it
414
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:08.960
would only be revealed to you,
and it will only be revealed to you
415
00:31:10.000 --> 00:31:15.839
if you're able to control the ego
enough and use the ego energy as fuel
416
00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:18.279
for the volition of the work,
because it will be very demanded. I
417
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:22.359
would say to people, don't let
three letters God repel you. Don't let
418
00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:27.000
religion repel you. Don't let people
tell you that religion is responsible for this
419
00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:32.799
and responsible of that. That's all
house ghosts, that's all exterior stuff in
420
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:37.160
a binary book. When you go
into the quantum book, into the hidden
421
00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:42.640
book, it is magical. It
is so mysterious, and it's so absolutely
422
00:31:42.680 --> 00:31:47.519
personal and individual to you, and
it will tell you what you want to
423
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:49.440
see if you're ready to see it. But you need to be ready for
424
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:55.480
that because when you see the truth, as Esculus says, knowledge is painful
425
00:31:55.759 --> 00:31:57.799
because you're going to look at it
and go, oh, yeah, I'm
426
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:00.519
not as smart as a thought to
I'm not as far ahead as a thought
427
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:05.759
to was. That's my betterness started. I've been studying the Gnostic Gospels and
428
00:32:06.359 --> 00:32:10.599
his toes Sophia is really my main
study and have it hold side podcast on
429
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:14.839
it. Are you still stuck with
it? Do you still have a resentment
430
00:32:15.559 --> 00:32:22.640
as I begin to meet a new
Jesus, new perspectives, new concepts,
431
00:32:22.759 --> 00:32:30.440
and even found some beauty and saw
it in between the words in the Bible.
432
00:32:31.039 --> 00:32:37.759
Yeah, but there's still so much
dogma that I feel angry about and
433
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:45.799
sometimes I still do. What has
been hidden has become my purpose to reveal
434
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:52.759
and uncover, and what voices had
been stolen is now my purpose to speak
435
00:32:52.920 --> 00:33:00.480
for those who piant or for those
who have lost their voice. And definitely
436
00:33:00.519 --> 00:33:06.680
the Divine, Feminine and the Gnostic
gospels in the Bible, but obvious,
437
00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:09.240
but there is still some bitterness that
I have to work on. This is
438
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:15.839
something that truly I think that's why
you know they have turned it as a
439
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:20.680
trauma syndrome because it is such traumatic. You know, I was going to
440
00:33:20.759 --> 00:33:24.920
be this before I was born,
for generations and generations deeply rooted in me,
441
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:30.839
and so I'm going against something that
is in me physically, but yet
442
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:37.440
is a burning desire within me to
speak on it, and that's why I
443
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:42.119
have my podcast. But it is
something that is still within me, because
444
00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.480
like you said, you have to
be quiet enough to listen to the body
445
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:50.680
and saying what's arising in me?
And as soon as I do speak of
446
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:54.279
it, there is a burning.
There's something still very you know, strong
447
00:33:54.319 --> 00:34:00.640
in there, and so in that
they still have me. Agine a light
448
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:06.039
bulb positive force, negative force,
and then you put a filament between the
449
00:34:06.079 --> 00:34:09.400
two creates light. Once you put
the filament between the two, there's no
450
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:15.079
positive, no negative. There's just
opposing energies that are connected by an isthmus
451
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:21.440
that we have to become animus.
While we're still angry, we fall into
452
00:34:21.480 --> 00:34:25.000
the left and we're not connected to
the light. While we're too positive two
453
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:30.960
socks and sandals, too sickly sweet, we're not connected to our own dark
454
00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:37.079
side. Roomy says, there is
a field beyond good action and wrong a
455
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:39.519
good action and bad action, between
right action and wrong action. I'll meet
456
00:34:39.559 --> 00:34:45.039
you there. So you imagine good
action bad action, and then this field
457
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:50.960
of light that's created by the soul
as it places itself as the isthmus between
458
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:54.199
the two creates light. To create
light, we have to burn. This
459
00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:59.840
is something the victor what's his name? The guy that a man searching,
460
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:02.960
meaning that you said that those who
heal must burn. But it's a literal
461
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:07.880
thing. We have to have the
negative and we have to have the positive.
462
00:35:07.920 --> 00:35:13.760
But when we connect them together by
this filament or this firmament of the
463
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:15.400
soul, when we put the soul
between the two, which is what we're
464
00:35:15.440 --> 00:35:20.400
doing now, there'll be part of
us that really want to do this podcast
465
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:23.039
and part of us that's afraid of
it because of all the things it might
466
00:35:23.119 --> 00:35:28.480
bring and all the criticism it might
bring. When we place ourselves between those
467
00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:31.519
two forces and do the podcast,
we're creating light. There's no darkness and
468
00:35:31.639 --> 00:35:36.079
light in this room. There is
just light. There's no good and bad.
469
00:35:36.559 --> 00:35:38.519
So the idea is that it's not
that we get rid of the darkness
470
00:35:38.519 --> 00:35:43.760
and not that we say it has
me. We just go that's still there.
471
00:35:43.920 --> 00:35:46.360
I haven't quite got the control of
it yet, So I just need
472
00:35:46.360 --> 00:35:51.719
to temper my soul or temper my
will force a bit more so I can
473
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:55.039
actively sit between those two forces and
burn. But to do that, we
474
00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:58.880
need to be tempered, and to
be tempered, we need to go through
475
00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:02.039
the station of the Cross, you
know, where we prepare the body to
476
00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:06.920
receive this light. Otherwise we're going
to be like you know, one hundred
477
00:36:06.920 --> 00:36:09.480
what light wolves that are trying to
take in a thousand watts. We're just
478
00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:14.079
going to blow, aren't me.
I think when you were speaking that I
479
00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:16.800
felt this energy move up to my
throat. Okay, when you're a taking
480
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:22.559
immediately, I almost felt like I
wanted to cry I mean, you cracking
481
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.320
my voice. This is energy that
needs to be released. So I mean,
482
00:36:27.360 --> 00:36:30.519
I'm going to push it down just
for the purpose of this interview.
483
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:36.679
But it is something that is trying
to come out in me. Maybe that's
484
00:36:36.719 --> 00:36:40.920
all that's needed that I have to
have a good freaking cry about it and
485
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:44.920
let it out. You know,
I need to give myself that space.
486
00:36:45.039 --> 00:36:49.079
But you know, if you are
present, listen and feel, you know
487
00:36:49.119 --> 00:36:52.079
what's happening within you. I mean, it's all there. Yeah, my
488
00:36:52.159 --> 00:36:55.760
throat was just like, oh,
I could just h and I wanted to
489
00:36:55.800 --> 00:37:00.400
cry. That's the sign of the
Holy Dove off. The Holy Spirit is
490
00:37:00.480 --> 00:37:05.920
defeminine energy. It's the energy that
comes down and coaches the soul. It
491
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:09.440
christs, It layers it and layers
it so that we're able to be stronger
492
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:15.599
filaments for the energy of love.
You can't just take this energy in and
493
00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:19.280
put it back out again. If
there's lots of corruptions in our body is
494
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:22.880
still, if there's lots of unhealed
wounds, you know, those things need
495
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:24.920
to be lying first. Otherwise it's
you know, it's just going to move
496
00:37:24.960 --> 00:37:29.079
through and it's going to do damage. So what we do is something.
497
00:37:29.119 --> 00:37:32.119
Saint Francis says, we do the
necessary if that's all we can do,
498
00:37:32.159 --> 00:37:35.880
and then we do the possible.
But we do all of it, and
499
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:39.920
then we'll find out the impossible will
start to look after itself. So you're
500
00:37:39.960 --> 00:37:43.920
talking about this energy. When I
had that energy the same as you.
501
00:37:44.480 --> 00:37:47.800
It came out in depressions because it
kept pushing it down. Or it came
502
00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:52.280
out in rage. It came out
in self harm, It came out in
503
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:57.519
sexual self harm. Later it came
out in violence once I started to control
504
00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:00.639
it and see that it wasn't my
enemy, wasn't a harbiner of doom.
505
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:06.280
It was a messenger of hope once
I started to notice it. Of so
506
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:12.119
far, I've written I don't know
fifty books, fifteen films, stage plays.
507
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.519
I did a musical two years ago
based on the bag of a guitar.
508
00:38:15.840 --> 00:38:20.880
I am a prolific writer. I'm
a prolific speaker. All the energy
509
00:38:20.920 --> 00:38:25.960
we talked about, it's not incandescent. So an incandescent ball loses ninety percent
510
00:38:27.079 --> 00:38:30.079
of its light to heat. Because
it's incandescent, it just goes everywhere.
511
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:36.000
That's how I was before, But
now I am an led light. My
512
00:38:36.119 --> 00:38:39.320
energy goes through the soul what I
call directional light. So it all goes
513
00:38:39.360 --> 00:38:45.559
into words like this and worked like
this, and books and articles or meditation
514
00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:50.519
and prayer. There is nothing that's
going to leave my thought, my math,
515
00:38:51.360 --> 00:38:54.480
or my actions that does not accord
with wisdom and love. I'm going
516
00:38:54.480 --> 00:38:58.480
to make mistakes the same as everybody, but I'm going to capture it very
517
00:38:58.559 --> 00:39:04.679
quickly because I have watches around me
who helped me to noticeify for all out
518
00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:09.400
of alignment. So your energy is
massive, and it's beautiful because it wants
519
00:39:09.440 --> 00:39:14.679
to be expressed. But if you
want to be christed, in other words,
520
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:16.880
if you want to be magnified by
a thousand, we need to make
521
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:22.199
sure we're tempered and ready for that. We're still being defeated by the little
522
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:25.239
temptations in our life, We're not
going to cope with the big temptations.
523
00:39:25.519 --> 00:39:30.320
If we're still being tripped up by
the mundane, we're not going to do
524
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:36.519
very well with the magical. This
is a powerful and beautiful force, but
525
00:39:36.639 --> 00:39:38.559
if we're not prepared for it,
we're just not going to receive it.
526
00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:43.000
So that's why I encourage people to
do the things that are right in front
527
00:39:43.039 --> 00:39:46.719
of them the necessary. If that's
all you can do, then the possible,
528
00:39:46.760 --> 00:39:51.599
but do all of the possible.
Then the magical and the impossible will
529
00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:53.800
notice you, and it will alight
with you, and it will bring you
530
00:39:53.880 --> 00:39:59.239
the right teachers, You'll bring you
the right podcasts. It's not enough to
531
00:39:59.320 --> 00:40:02.519
listen to a podcast like this and
be fed by it. That's not enough.
532
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:06.679
You need to go out and you
need to be muscular. You need
533
00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:09.000
to do the work again. I
know I'm here to promote my book,
534
00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:12.920
but if you look at Eckhart's book, he's a very muscular book and saying
535
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:16.000
this is how you can control your
vessel so that you can be the person
536
00:40:16.119 --> 00:40:22.440
that conducts this energy. And if
it's rising up, absolutely it's rising up
537
00:40:22.440 --> 00:40:24.960
because the spirit in the room.
That's what we've done. We've created a
538
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:30.119
proximity that will repel some energies and
drawing other energies. It will repel some
539
00:40:30.239 --> 00:40:34.360
energies because they're going to be converted
by it, and it will draw other
540
00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:37.880
energies in because they want to be
converted. That we have the power.
541
00:40:37.280 --> 00:40:44.280
If we're able to master this tabernacle, and that's the necessary impossible, then
542
00:40:44.320 --> 00:40:46.880
this beautiful impossible energy will work through
us, and we could be sat in
543
00:40:46.880 --> 00:40:54.119
a room anonymously and that room or
that house, or that town or that
544
00:40:54.280 --> 00:41:00.440
city can be healed just because we're
there, Just because we're there. That's
545
00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:04.320
the power of this force. The
soul has the power to encompass the whole
546
00:41:04.360 --> 00:41:07.840
world if we were able to make
ourselves the right vessel to contain it.
547
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:13.119
And it won't beat us. It
won't be Jeff Thompson or Channa. It
548
00:41:13.159 --> 00:41:17.079
will be the spirit working through us. That's worth getting up every morning for.
549
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:21.039
That's worth getting out of bed in
the morning for. And that's the
550
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:24.320
work. And the work isn't going
to be about getting him right over there
551
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:28.519
or making sure that this person sees
just as the work is just going to
552
00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:31.119
be on ourselves. That's what's exciting. We can do this work from our
553
00:41:31.199 --> 00:41:35.880
front room. You know. One
thing that came up for me just now
554
00:41:35.880 --> 00:41:40.239
also when you were speaking, that
sometimes these things are unconscious. I mean,
555
00:41:40.239 --> 00:41:45.079
I've shared a story with my listeners
that when I was eleven years old,
556
00:41:45.239 --> 00:41:50.159
I was specially abused, but for
some reason, I felt like it
557
00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:52.760
just didn't bother me like it did
other people. I don't know why this
558
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:57.000
is what I used to say.
Yeah, Now, as they beginning my
559
00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:00.679
healing journey and making space, as
coming more aware, and as I'm reading
560
00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:06.880
Ekart's book and I'm getting healthier,
all of a sudden there was this night
561
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:12.480
where it came to me and I
realized it had been controlling me unconsciously.
562
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:16.199
My body is actually what told me. So I was laying in bed and
563
00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:22.159
my partner he woke me up and
my body went tense, which it always
564
00:42:22.199 --> 00:42:24.559
would if I was woken up,
and I'd get so angry and I'd be
565
00:42:24.559 --> 00:42:29.599
like, get it over with,
yeah, and then but I always was
566
00:42:29.679 --> 00:42:31.639
like that, but I never knew
why. And then all of a sudden
567
00:42:31.840 --> 00:42:37.440
I remembered I didn't think this bothered
me, yea, And here it had
568
00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:44.880
been living in me all this time, reacting and I was unconscious to it.
569
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:47.519
So then I told my partner I'm
going to do some work on this.
570
00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:52.360
I know exactly why, and you
know, and I did, and
571
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:53.519
I said, you're going to have
to wake me up again, and we're
572
00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:55.800
gonna have to try, and he
said, oh my god, I woke
573
00:42:57.000 --> 00:43:07.320
up. It really had to beg
of them too. It doesn't happen anymore
574
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:09.199
because I now I know I'm safe, and that's what I said. I
575
00:43:09.280 --> 00:43:14.239
and he even validate. We talked
about this because you know I would never
576
00:43:14.360 --> 00:43:17.440
hurt you. I'm like, I
know. But my body, the memory,
577
00:43:17.920 --> 00:43:24.119
the wombing farma, had not been
nourished. It has not been carriage
578
00:43:24.199 --> 00:43:30.440
for loved and forgiven, really truly, and once I was able to,
579
00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:34.880
it was just such a big moment
in my life, very courageous. I
580
00:43:34.960 --> 00:43:39.239
was free from something I wasn't even
aware of. Yeah, that's very true.
581
00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:43.159
A lot of it is unconscious because
we're afraid to look at it because
582
00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:45.920
we don't know what it means.
The biggest thing with the abuse arg when
583
00:43:45.960 --> 00:43:50.679
I was a kid was confusion.
I absolutely was cognitively dissonant. So part
584
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:55.159
of me just abandoned my old self
and kind of moved on and then built
585
00:43:55.199 --> 00:44:00.360
an armory around it, built a
tank around it, built all this war
586
00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:05.280
paint and my body and took away
all the prettiness from my face because I
587
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:09.360
was a pretty kid and built up
this huge body and I could kill in
588
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:15.360
thirty languages. I became a master
martial artists because I was unconsciously trying to
589
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:19.639
protect myself. And when I understood
it. I wrote about it, So
590
00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:23.880
my individuation process came mostly through the
writing. I was able to release it
591
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:28.199
a bit out of time, and
every time I released it, nothing was
592
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:30.480
killed. It was just converted.
The lighting. It was a gift.
593
00:44:30.559 --> 00:44:35.920
It was converted. That's when they're
saying judaism. If you ever see anybody
594
00:44:35.960 --> 00:44:38.199
that's harmed you, I chase after
them and serve them because they have something
595
00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:43.360
to give yours and you need it
back and you have something of theirs.
596
00:44:44.000 --> 00:44:47.199
So you give them back their parasite
and you take back your autonomy. And
597
00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:51.639
you do that by injuring them,
and you injure them by telling them the
598
00:44:51.719 --> 00:44:53.960
truth. You go, well,
you did, wasn't acceptable that even if
599
00:44:53.960 --> 00:44:59.000
you'd only do this in your mind, because whether it's internal or external,
600
00:44:59.079 --> 00:45:02.119
it's the same. Everything is connected. So it's more powerfully if you can
601
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:07.199
go into your mind and if it's
at a state of like telling somebody how
602
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:08.800
you feel, then you tell them
in your mind. If it's at the
603
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:13.960
level of repentance and you've made a
mistake like I have, then you go
604
00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:15.760
to God in your mind or to
your highest soul and you just go,
605
00:45:16.360 --> 00:45:22.159
I see this, this happened on
my watch, and I take full responsibility,
606
00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:25.199
and I accept the consequences, and
I'm contritely remorseful, and I don't
607
00:45:25.239 --> 00:45:29.760
do that anymore, and I wouldn't
do that again. And I'm asking for
608
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:35.480
mercy. A mercy comes from the
old word. I think it's mercicrous,
609
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:40.239
but it just basically means exchange.
So I'm going to give you my contrite
610
00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:45.119
remorse. I'm going to give it
over to God and he will exchange it
611
00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:47.960
for consciousness. He will take that
and clean it and give me consciousness.
612
00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:52.239
So it takes a lot of courage
to do what you did. I really
613
00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:55.599
admire you, and to do what
you're doing now to do podcasts like this,
614
00:45:55.920 --> 00:46:00.079
I know from my own journey.
So I made a lot of mistakes
615
00:46:00.199 --> 00:46:06.320
because I was so damaged. I
ended up going into becoming a nightclub bounce,
616
00:46:06.440 --> 00:46:08.599
and I was very violent for a
long time because I thought I was
617
00:46:08.719 --> 00:46:14.480
protecting the world, but I was
just causing more damage. So I've had
618
00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:17.719
to really clean that, you know, And a lot of that cleaning was
619
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:23.400
done through what you would call spiritual
fasting. And spiritual fasting is no longer
620
00:46:23.480 --> 00:46:29.920
engaging or eating those kinds of foods, those subtle foods, and also fasting
621
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:32.800
in the sense of charity. So
I would go and talk to prisoners in
622
00:46:32.880 --> 00:46:37.440
jail, where I'd go and talk
to people who were troubled. I'd go.
623
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:39.920
I went all around the country doing
tours. But basically my talks were
624
00:46:39.920 --> 00:46:44.760
confessional. My talks were like,
this was how I fasted. I said
625
00:46:44.800 --> 00:46:47.159
to people, I've made all of
these mistakes, but look, I'm living
626
00:46:47.159 --> 00:46:53.280
a great life now because I've repented. And to repent means just really really
627
00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:59.000
means to repair. It means to
return to love. It means we've fallen
628
00:46:59.039 --> 00:47:01.719
out of alignment, would become divided
and divided again. It means that we're
629
00:47:01.760 --> 00:47:07.119
becoming unitary again. It means we're
becoming singular, we're coming back to our
630
00:47:07.159 --> 00:47:10.800
own geometric point. So it means
to repair, or to return to love,
631
00:47:10.920 --> 00:47:15.039
or to find refuge. In Buddhism, refuges the buddha or the dama,
632
00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:19.480
the sangha in other words, the
teaching, the teacher, and the
633
00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:23.239
community, which is what we're amongst. That's what refuge is. So it's
634
00:47:23.239 --> 00:47:28.280
really just about this greater energy saying
I want to connect. I want you
635
00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:32.280
to reconnect with me, that's what
religion means. Religion means it comes from
636
00:47:32.320 --> 00:47:37.559
the word, reallygar it means to
reconnect man to man, man to his
637
00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:40.119
source. So he said, I
want you to reconnect, and I'm going
638
00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:44.960
to help me to remove these blockages
gently a little bit at a time.
639
00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:50.039
But you need to be courageous.
So we do this talk and write the
640
00:47:50.079 --> 00:47:54.280
books and do the films. My
stuff especially has been very confessional, because
641
00:47:54.400 --> 00:48:00.280
that's how I turn darkness so that
it becomes a light. Not that it
642
00:48:00.360 --> 00:48:04.559
becomes light, but it becomes a
light. So I convert the spirit or
643
00:48:04.599 --> 00:48:07.079
the spark of wisdom that's in it, and I give it out to the
644
00:48:07.119 --> 00:48:13.320
world and it is planeted like a
seed. So what is exposed to light
645
00:48:13.920 --> 00:48:19.039
becomes a light. Once we've done
this podcast, because we're working on a
646
00:48:19.199 --> 00:48:23.400
very congruent spiritual level, what we're
saying will become a light and it will
647
00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:27.760
be there forever. It will be
in the Acacia forever. Maybe it'll be
648
00:48:27.800 --> 00:48:30.280
on the Internet forever, but it'd
be in the Acacia forever because we've spoken
649
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:35.480
it and it's come from love.
And at some point some kid might access
650
00:48:35.559 --> 00:48:37.840
this video up four in the morning
when he's cold with sweat, and he
651
00:48:37.880 --> 00:48:43.159
feels like he can't go on.
He feels like he can't overcome his darkness,
652
00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:45.960
and he feels like he could never
be forgiven himself or heathen. But
653
00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:52.880
he can. The repentant is welcomed
with the fatted calf because he's got so
654
00:48:53.000 --> 00:48:57.320
much darkness in that can be converted
to light. Of course, his return,
655
00:48:57.480 --> 00:49:00.440
his course, his return is welcome. There's nobody that can't return,
656
00:49:00.519 --> 00:49:05.360
there's nobody that can't heal. And
I will live in proof of that because
657
00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:09.599
I may present here as a middle
aged, bold, in articulate man,
658
00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:14.519
but I was hugely violent for a
long time. I was not a kind
659
00:49:14.639 --> 00:49:19.079
person in so many respects, And
this is something I've spoken about in all
660
00:49:19.119 --> 00:49:23.920
the books I've written. But I
live a beautiful life now because I refuse
661
00:49:24.079 --> 00:49:30.480
to allow any negativity into this tabernacle. I refuse forgiving the self. I
662
00:49:30.559 --> 00:49:36.840
feel like that usually is the toughest
one. We can often forgive other people,
663
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:42.719
it's forgiving the self that is sometimes
the hardest. Yeah, we don't
664
00:49:42.760 --> 00:49:45.960
love ourselves unconditionally. Yeah, Again, we have to recognize that we haven't
665
00:49:46.000 --> 00:49:49.960
got the power to forgive ourselves.
We haven't got that power. It's not
666
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:52.760
a human power. We have the
power to repent. When I was studying
667
00:49:53.199 --> 00:49:57.760
for this book, this is nineteen
nine reasons to Forgive, I said to
668
00:49:57.840 --> 00:50:00.199
God in my prayers, I don't
understand and forgiveness. I've done it,
669
00:50:00.199 --> 00:50:02.800
and I know the metaphysical power of
it, but I don't know how to
670
00:50:02.920 --> 00:50:07.400
articulate it to people. I just
don't know how to articulate it, and
671
00:50:07.440 --> 00:50:10.199
I'm not convincing people. I want
to help people because I've experienced it and
672
00:50:10.239 --> 00:50:15.119
it's so free him, but I
couldn't articulate it. This book came as
673
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:19.320
a direct response to my request.
Wasn't just the book the book downloaded,
674
00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:23.440
but also led me towards one hundred
and ten hours of lecture from the Tanya,
675
00:50:23.760 --> 00:50:29.119
which is one of the commentary books
on the Torah from the Judate faith,
676
00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:32.679
and it was nearly all about repentance. It was basically saying, you
677
00:50:32.760 --> 00:50:37.440
can't forgive yourself. That's why you're
struggling with it, and that's why you're
678
00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:40.480
cognitive dissonant, that's why you're going
around the circles. But you can repent,
679
00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:44.559
so you can give it over to
a higher power. But you can
680
00:50:44.599 --> 00:50:47.440
only do that if you are contritely
remorse, and if you're contritely remorse,
681
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:51.760
you don't need anybody else to say
it's okay. You just go to that
682
00:50:51.920 --> 00:50:54.559
higher power and you say, this
is what I did, and I own
683
00:50:54.599 --> 00:50:57.920
all of it. I own all
of it. You know. I may
684
00:50:57.920 --> 00:51:00.440
have been violent because I was displaced
in my anger, but I still did
685
00:51:00.480 --> 00:51:05.119
it, so I own that.
I accept that responsibility for that, and
686
00:51:05.119 --> 00:51:07.360
then I give it over to him, and then I take wherever the consequences
687
00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:12.960
are. And he says to me, this is something from the Zohar that
688
00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:16.360
if you are contrite in your remorse, your sin will be as though it
689
00:51:16.440 --> 00:51:20.800
never happened, as though it never
existed. So we can wipe it clean,
690
00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:23.199
but only if we can own it. So it's like going into the
691
00:51:23.199 --> 00:51:28.639
divine plumbing and removing all of the
detritus. But to do that, we
692
00:51:28.719 --> 00:51:30.320
have to look at it, we
have to accept it. We have to
693
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:36.159
say, there may have been circumstances, but this still happened on my shift.
694
00:51:36.239 --> 00:51:38.760
I still did it, and I
take full responsibility. I'm not going
695
00:51:38.800 --> 00:51:43.159
to say I did this, but
my wife didn't understand me, or I
696
00:51:43.239 --> 00:51:45.480
did this but society was against people
like me. I'm going to say this
697
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:50.400
happened on my shift, and I
am so remorseful, and I'm not doing
698
00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:52.079
it now and I won't do it
in the future. Please guide and please
699
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:58.199
show me how I can fix this. And this energy will welcome you back.
700
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:01.280
If you go one step to it, it will come ten steps towards
701
00:52:01.280 --> 00:52:05.920
you. And the people that have
done the most damage to have the most
702
00:52:05.920 --> 00:52:10.800
potential for ascension because they have so
much light to convert. And of course
703
00:52:10.840 --> 00:52:15.960
if you get a guy like Milleriapa, the Buddhist saint killed thirty five people.
704
00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:20.039
The reason they still talk about in
thousands of years after his death is
705
00:52:20.079 --> 00:52:24.360
because he was a murderer turned saint. Saint Paul was a murderer. He
706
00:52:24.599 --> 00:52:30.159
prosecuted, persecuted Christians. He wrote
seventeen of the books in the New Testament.
707
00:52:30.239 --> 00:52:34.639
He is a profound orator. His
words are so full of spirit.
708
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:38.480
Even modern day people like Mandela.
You know, people forget that this modern
709
00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:43.719
day saint was a terrorist. He
tried to fix problems with violence before he
710
00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:47.559
converted and Robin Ireland. So people
that have had a difficult past and who
711
00:52:47.559 --> 00:52:53.239
convert that darkness into light become great
messages. They've become great shepherds. It's
712
00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:59.320
open for everybody. It's open for
anybody. If we want to receive this
713
00:52:59.400 --> 00:53:01.480
light, we just ceazy, just
need to make room for it. Easy
714
00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:07.440
and principle. So everybody out there
who thinks they can't be forgiven, they
715
00:53:07.440 --> 00:53:09.880
can be forgiven. You know.
At least the one thing that was good
716
00:53:09.920 --> 00:53:14.480
about the Christian religion was that I
was so scared to death they go to
717
00:53:14.559 --> 00:53:19.320
Hell. I pretty much was a
good girl. My whole life. Obviously,
718
00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:22.519
lots of the dogma is distorted,
but we can go beyond the dogma,
719
00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:25.000
we can go beyond all that.
We can find that for ourselves,
720
00:53:25.039 --> 00:53:30.039
you know. But mostly there is
only one legitimate fear, one fear only,
721
00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:35.079
and that's the fear of being separated
from God, being separated from our
722
00:53:35.159 --> 00:53:38.679
source. And God speaks to us
then through conscience, and the conscience speaks
723
00:53:38.679 --> 00:53:43.480
to us through the sympathetic nervous system, so we feel fear. So that's
724
00:53:43.519 --> 00:53:46.000
no bad thing, you know.
Just like if I touch a hot stove,
725
00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:50.159
I'm going to the laws of heating
in the time, but that's not
726
00:53:50.199 --> 00:53:52.639
good for me. I may have
to drag my child away from a busy
727
00:53:52.760 --> 00:53:57.199
road, and they might not appreciate
it as I'm doing it because it might
728
00:53:57.199 --> 00:54:00.079
feel like a violent act, but
I'm actually protecting them from moving traffic.
729
00:54:00.880 --> 00:54:05.159
So there are energies that are guiding
us all the time, and sometimes they
730
00:54:05.159 --> 00:54:09.159
guide us with divine shocks, but
that's for our protection because it's a parental
731
00:54:09.239 --> 00:54:14.559
force, just like our own,
you know, parental guidance for their own
732
00:54:14.599 --> 00:54:17.760
children. We fear for them not
understanding the laws of the fixed laws of
733
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:21.760
this moving planet. So we teach
them in any way we can, and
734
00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:25.119
we give them a healthy respect that
if a healthy fear. If you do
735
00:54:25.159 --> 00:54:30.440
this, this will happen. Fear
is a big subjects when you started with
736
00:54:30.559 --> 00:54:34.360
at the beginning, which I love
because it is the only subject really and
737
00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:37.760
there's only one fear, and that's
a fear of separation from God. And
738
00:54:37.800 --> 00:54:44.159
God lets us know that with conscience
and through the sympathetic nervous system. But
739
00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:47.880
conscience is a language. God is
speaking to us through conscience. It might
740
00:54:47.920 --> 00:54:52.960
feel uncomfortable, but he's said,
I'm just trying to communicate to you through
741
00:54:53.039 --> 00:54:57.599
this physical body. And then he
says, to look at all of this
742
00:54:57.760 --> 00:55:00.760
darkness. You know, that's what
you're here for. You're here to convert
743
00:55:00.800 --> 00:55:04.480
it to a lot. You're not
here to judge it because that adds darkness
744
00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:07.320
to darkness. Not here to hit
it with a stick because that adds darkness
745
00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:12.440
to darkness. You're not here to
point a finger at it. You know,
746
00:55:12.440 --> 00:55:15.960
you're not here to project, You're
not here to be outrage. You're
747
00:55:15.000 --> 00:55:20.719
here to convert it into darkness.
We let's end where we started. Forget
748
00:55:20.760 --> 00:55:22.639
the business of the world. The
business of the world is no business of
749
00:55:22.679 --> 00:55:31.400
yours. What fruits are you bringing
love? Compassion for? Absolutely? Yeah,
750
00:55:31.440 --> 00:55:35.239
absolutely, it's a recipt of the
universe. To what we give out,
751
00:55:35.239 --> 00:55:37.199
we're going to constantly return. It's
going to return to us. So
752
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:43.079
it's intelligent to be kind in what
we think, what we say, and
753
00:55:43.119 --> 00:55:45.800
what we do, because it goes
out it doesn't just go out as a
754
00:55:45.880 --> 00:55:50.599
thought, it goes out as a
spirit. We're constantly releasing spirit. If
755
00:55:50.639 --> 00:55:54.519
it's coming through a dark filter,
it's a dark spirit. If it's coming
756
00:55:54.559 --> 00:55:58.440
through a filter of love, we're
going to put out love into the world
757
00:55:58.440 --> 00:56:05.320
and that's going to constantly turn.
Yeah, so can I ask you it
758
00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:10.800
says ninety name. It's inspired by
the ninety nine names of Allah from the
759
00:56:10.880 --> 00:56:16.280
Quran to represent infinity. When Peter
says to Jesus, how many times should
760
00:56:16.280 --> 00:56:20.360
I forgive? Lord? He says, should I forgive seven times? He
761
00:56:20.400 --> 00:56:24.239
said, you should forgive forty seven
times seven. It's it's just a similar
762
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:30.039
for infinite. You should continually forgive
because you are giving it over to me
763
00:56:30.079 --> 00:56:32.679
and I'm going to heal it.
So ninety nine are the ninety nine names
764
00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:37.679
or the ninety nine attributes of God. But each of them contains a tincture
765
00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:40.639
of God, which is like a
hologram, So it contains all of God.
766
00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:45.400
And each of them has different qualities, but all of them come back
767
00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:50.239
to the same thing. Love.
And there's a lovely thing that Roomy said,
768
00:56:50.360 --> 00:56:53.559
I love, Roomy said, fear
knocked on the door. Love answered,
769
00:56:53.880 --> 00:56:59.239
there was no one there. That
we just nurture love in ourselves.
770
00:56:59.400 --> 00:57:01.719
And that is an attribute of God. And if it's an attribute of gold,
771
00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:04.880
it contains all of God. That's
the seed of God in it,
772
00:57:05.199 --> 00:57:07.920
which we can allow to expand in
us. And like I said, if
773
00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:13.400
the word God isn't suitable for somebody, they could use the word consciousness or
774
00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:17.800
the world at least the word love, but it's a powerful energy love us.
775
00:57:19.400 --> 00:57:22.400
Thank you so much for bringing all
of this wisdom. I thought it
776
00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:25.880
was very needed for the world.
I thought you explained it very well.
777
00:57:25.920 --> 00:57:30.320
And I love that you have the
same favorite book as me, because I
778
00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:36.760
believe it's very powerful book which changed
my life. When I'm confronted with any
779
00:57:36.880 --> 00:57:42.880
kind of adversity or arguments or whatever, I have control over what's come out
780
00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:45.559
of my mouth. I pause,
I have space, and a lot of
781
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:52.639
times in that I find that compassion
love instead of just letting fear overtake me.
782
00:57:52.760 --> 00:57:57.639
And it's very powerful. Yeah,
recognizing that what you're angry at you're
783
00:57:57.679 --> 00:58:00.239
bound to, and what you're bound
to you feel. Do we want that?
784
00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:05.119
Do I want somebody you know to
have that power over me? Don't
785
00:58:05.119 --> 00:58:07.719
want him to have control of my
autonomy because it means I can think about
786
00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:10.840
him when he takes over my autonomy. That might steal the day, It
787
00:58:10.920 --> 00:58:14.880
might see a much steal a week, it might steal a whole lifetime.
788
00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:19.360
I have the choice not to engage
that, not to identify with it.
789
00:58:20.360 --> 00:58:23.840
Yeah, So tell everybody where they
can find your book. They can find
790
00:58:23.880 --> 00:58:28.440
it on Amazon. I think it's
out an American now as well. Can
791
00:58:28.480 --> 00:58:35.960
find me on Jeff Underscore Thompson Underscore
official Instagram, So Jeff with a G,
792
00:58:36.639 --> 00:58:39.840
Thompson with a P. That's my
only official presence on the Internet.
793
00:58:39.880 --> 00:58:43.639
I'm not on the internet, but
I do post on the internet. So
794
00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:47.360
I have a wonderful girl called Gabriella
who runs my Instagram accunts, so I
795
00:58:47.360 --> 00:58:52.159
post on there every week. Very
nice, awesome, Thank you so much
796
00:58:52.199 --> 00:58:58.000
for joining me. It's been a
pleasure, and now it's time to create
797
00:58:58.079 --> 00:59:06.519
that show. There's a lovely line
in the Bag of the Gita is from
798
00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:09.000
the Hindu texts, and that comes
from the Vaders, which is like five
799
00:59:09.119 --> 00:59:13.639
hundred thousand verses, and it sums
it all. Look for me. It
800
00:59:13.679 --> 00:59:16.960
says, lifts the self by the
self, never let the self droop down.
801
00:59:17.239 --> 00:59:21.679
The self is the self's only enemy. The self is the self's only
802
00:59:21.800 --> 00:59:28.280
friend. Begins and ends with you. I love that. That's our actus
803
00:59:28.320 --> 00:59:31.719
to God. There's a geometric point
of singularity, the soul in all of
804
00:59:31.840 --> 00:59:37.760
us, and our job is to
find that and to nurture it. Well,
805
00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:40.360
it's been a pleasure and it was
nice to meet you. It's lovely
806
00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:45.880
to meet you, and I really
love your courage and your openness. I
807
00:59:45.880 --> 00:59:51.079
really admire you. Thank you you
too, Go bless her. Thanks for
