Episode transcript:

And we are live. Welcome everyone. I hope you can hear me.
Okay, it’s Thursday the 25th of July, 2024, and here we are
now. Already there’s a few people online and we’ve got a few people in the chat. So I’d just like
to thank panther9 veganpanda1975 usernamewhat scottishbird cueball78 marigold0 rambo365
for joining us. And if I haven’t read your name out, I apologize.
There’s a lot to keep an eye on here and there’s a lot to get through. As ever in this
show. Now we will dive straight in. So let me tell you a little bit about what we’re going to be
looking at today. So this is episode 20. And as you in case you haven’t recognized it, the artwork
in this picture here is from the film the American Pie. And all become clear later on in the show
why I’ve chosen that.
And thank you, Rambo365, for confirming that you can hear me loud and clear. It’s
always good to check at the start just in case. So what are we going to be looking at today?
Well, we are going to hang on a second. If I just press this button and then go here, then I can
do this. And what we’re going to be looking at today? Well, the first question is actually rollover
from last week. Unfortunately, we had so much to talk about last week that I didn’t get a chance
to discuss this one. So the question is along the lines of is there an evil cause to autism?
Next question is, should adults or should, more precisely, should young adults be
having sex? And I’m sure that’s going to probably be interesting to a lot of people, whether your
parents or young adults. And then are some kids just born wise?
Then we move on to surviving chemotherapy, a spiritual approach, and then another
one, why are my teenage kids being so confrontational?
So, as ever, most of these I’m paraphrasing, and I’m not promising that we’ll be
tackling these things in the order they’re presented, but I will be starting with the question from
last week, because I think it’s only fair. What sometimes happens is we run out of time. And so
it’s only fair to kind of put the questions that don’t get answered in one show at the start of the
next show. But there is, as ever, a lot to get on with. And that’s especially thanks to all of you
guys who’ve been contributing by sending me your questions. And so for that, I am grateful. So
let’s just dive into the first question and see what comes up. So the first question is this one. So
Lorna asks. Hi, Mark. I’ve noticed over the past few years that there are more and more children
being born with terrible illnesses and also more children than ever being diagnosed with autism.
Do you think this should be, or this could be some kind of evil interference? Thank you.
Right, yeah. Well, there’s several things going on here. So if you take a purely kind of
scientific, pragmatic view of this, then the increase in numbers are partially attributed simply to
the fact that there’s better reporting, these things are better understood. So more people are
coming forwards, being tested and being diagnosed. So that will certainly have an effect. But
what’s interesting is this picture in the background shows the incidence, the number of people
with autism in the populace. So the lower figures are something like 1 in 400, 1 in 800, for
example, China, those kind of figures. Whereas if you look across to South Korea, you’ve got
over one in 40. So that’s quite a lot per. Per capita, that’s almost two and a half people per
hundred, so. Or two and a half percent of the population. Now, if it was just better reporting and
better diagnosis, then you probably see a more even spread across the world because most of
the world uses the same diagnostic tools, the same criteria and has the same awareness. So
when something is raised in awareness, normally that awareness spreads around the planet,
keeping things really simple. So there has been an increase because of raised awareness, but
what we’re seeing is quite disparate results depending on where you’re looking. And the United
States is the second highest in this particular data set that’s shown here. But this isn’t complete.
So, for example, England isn’t on here, United Kingdom isn’t shown in this chart. But my purpose
wasn’t to kind of dive into the science. I’m here primarily to speak spiritual truth. And to that end,
then, yeah, that’s, that’s what we’re here for. And the reason why I smiled earlier is because right
on cue, Almost Vegan Panda 1975 said, Love the T shirt and the reason why I’ve, you know, I’ve
got the word truth behind me and I’ve got it on my T shirt. And my T shirt actually says, I don’t
know if you can see this. You can handle the truth. And that’s what we’re here for.
We’re here to discuss spiritual things. Now, I’ll always like with this topic, I’ll try and
speak a little bit from practical things. And my background, by the way, is I’m a trained biologist. I
actually worked in a pharmaceutical industry for a number of years. So I can kind of understand
the scientific lingo. But my passion and where I’m really coming from is spiritual stuff and trying
to bring down spiritual knowledge and share that, to give us context to these things. So when it
comes to this particular thing, is there. The question simmers down to, do you think that there is
some kind of evil interference?
Short answer is yes. And let me take a macrocosmic step back.
God, Call it God, call it the source, the absolute beyond all limits, the cause of
everything.
God created humanity and God loves humanity. So no parent, metaphorically
speaking, would wish harm upon their children. So the years of work that I’ve done, which
involves healing work, among other things, causes me to look into the cause of things such as
autism, the cause of various diseases, and if you reflect back on a previous episode, discuss
cancer as an example. So a lot of the disease that people experience is what I refer to as illicit. It
shouldn’t be there, but it wasn’t created by God. There are forces that have their own free will,
that choose to exercise their free will to bring about harm to others. And they’re not good. And
they’re not of good in keeping things simple. They’re not of the light, they’re of the darkness. And
duality has both light and darkness. So when there is imbalance, as there is at this time, then the
forces of darkness keeping things simple can have a strong influence on those that are good.
And so a lot of the disease and cancer being one of them and autism being another example
that we are plagued with on the third dimension are not necessarily meant to be, but it is there
nonetheless. And so if, to answer the question in very simple terms, then yes. Is it some kind of
evil interference? The fundamental answer is yes. Now, I’d like to split that into two, just so that
we can understand it a bit better on higher dimensions. And this has been going on for a long
time. Dis ease or illness can be provoked in individuals from higher Dimensions, because before
there is anything physically manifest, the power of thought, the power of intention, is a powerful
force. And so, you know, a lot of things like that we would identify down here as black magic,
curses, spells, hexes, that kind of stuff do actually exist because they’re fundamentally thought
based and they can be projected at individuals. And so from that perspective, then it is true,
spiritually speaking, to say that some people are targeted because of their goodness with
disease, because that which is dark hates the light and so has a great hatred towards that which
is demonstrating goodness or light. And so unfortunately, and it’s very sad, some very, very good
people have been targeted and through no fault of their own, they succumb to these insults and
assaults. And so when I’ve looked into specific cases of good people who have, say for
example, an autistic child, it’s because they are good that they have been targeted. And so in
some cases then the autism is caused by direct interference. For example, interfering in the
communication between the brain and other parts of them, or interfering with the soul or the
spirit in various ways which won’t go into to promote an illness or an imbalance in that person at
a very young age that eventually, if it’s not put right, will bake into the personality of that person.
So it’s very hard then to shake that off as they grow up. And that’s not just the case of autism.
That’s the case of a lot of diseases that don’t seem justified or righteous. Like, you know, people
often say, well, why would God make children suffer? God wouldn’t. It’s the forces of darkness
that do so. But to you have to understand that if you said, well, I know someone that has autism,
is it interference? You’d have to take on a case by case basis. And so I will generally try and
avoid these blanket statements like all cases are interference.
There’s also nutrition, there’s also gut biology, there’s also a whole load of
environmental factors that may produce diseases like autism.
And that’s the second part I said there’s kind of two parts to this. So in the non
physical realms then things can be done to people non physically to promote disease in them.
But physically there are evil forces on the planet who are very much physical like you and I, who
are using their knowledge and their influence over the world to destroy our food, to poison us, to
poison our water supply, to poison our air, to put harmful chemicals into everything that we eat,
knowing the effect of these things, or to get us to inject things in the name of medicine that are
supposed to help us, that actually harm us. And so for a long time there’s been speculation
about the causative nature of autism. And there is tight correlation between when, for example,
vaccinations became not part of the Food and Drug Administration but were changed over to
being recognized as biological weapons and therefore no longer under the same strict controls
that they were. And this is something that happened in America. And then you see a massive
rise in cases of autism because they no longer have to declare or be regulated in the same way
the contents of their vaccines.
So if you want to go down that route, then there’s a, you can really jump into the
rabbit hole of, you know, the, for example, vaccines. But the point is that whatever they’re doing,
if they are doing something that they know will cause harm to others, then that is an act of evil.
And that’s the level I want to answer this at that on the physical realm, there are people who,
they might not be the people doing actual work, but they’re the people behind the work that are
promoting basically harm to the mass populations. And they don’t care if they’re harming good
people or if they’re harming not so good people. The goal isn’t to target individuals when it’s
done on a kind of population level. The goal is to create illness, disease, stress, fear, anxiety,
worry, conflict, degradation of the quality of life. Because if you harm, say for example, if 2 1/2%
of the population have disease, that’s not just the diseased people that are affected, it’s all the
carers, it’s all their family members, it’s the burden on society who then have to, through tax and
other means, support them. So, so you don’t have to harm a large number of people to affect a
large number of people. And there are very dark and evil forces which I think we’re all aware or
becoming aware of. Certainly if you’re watching this show, then hopefully you’re awake enough
to realize and join the dots that I’m referring to here, that there are organizations and individuals
who are pushing a very dark agenda to damage our health and our wellbeing. So that’s the
physical and then on the higher level there is higher level intervention that is causing these
things. So that’s the answer to the first question and I will carry on because there is so much to
talk about today. So now let’s shift it up a gear and let’s talk about something really, really
positive. But I think it’s really useful to Acknowledge what we just acknowledged. So, Daisy asks,
often it is said wisdom comes with age, but some children seem to have old souls. Are they
naturally spiritually wise? Or do some children have fewer barriers to the guidance from their
higher selves because they are open and trusting? Okay, so as ever, I’m really grateful for the
question. And as ever, there’s a lot to pick apart in there. In fact, I’ll leave the question on the
screen so we can reflect back on it. But there’s actually quite a few assumptions or yeah,
assumptions is a fair word that need to be maybe teased upon, pulled apart a bit here so that we
can deepen our understanding.
So often it’s said wisdom comes with age. I think that we can all probably think of
examples where that is not the case.
Age affords opportunity, but age does not guarantee growth. Okay, so wisdom doesn’t
come through age alone. Wisdom comes through paying attention, being present, and using the
opportunities that life presents to grow in wisdom. And so from that perspective, then it’s not
directly correlated to age. It’s just that over a period of time, there is more chance for those that
want to grow. And so those things like being present, being aware and wanting to grow are very
much the bedrock of becoming more spiritual. So the more spiritual you are, the more you have
an opportunity to become wiser. So that’s the first part of that kind of picked apart is that it
doesn’t actually come from age. It’s just that there’s a correlation or a propensity due to afforded
opportunity. So, but some children seem to have old souls. So again, if we’re talking about good
people, good children, then they all actually pretty much have a similar age soul.
In the past I talked about things like new souls, old souls, but my knowledge has
deepened greatly. And so when we talk about people who are fundamentally good, they’re all on
a parent. They may have. Some may have evolved further than others, but it’s not an age of the
soul related thing. It’s more opportunity seized and opportunities encountered. So you or I,
again, if you’re listening to this show, then the chances are that you’re spiritually more awake,
more attuned and curious and wanting to grow. So there’s not going to be a case of some of you
are maybe on your first or second incarnation, and some of you are on your 200, 300. We’re all
going to be in the same similar ballpark.
And so it’s not that an old soul has come into a child. In fact, some of the when it is a
very, very old soul. The chances are that it’s not actually a good soul at all. It might be a bad
soul. That does happen.
And they tend to be. That tends to be a deliberate incarnation that will be born into a
position of power, so it can abuse that power down the line. But I digress. So it’s not actually an
old soul syndrome. And there’s further reason for that, because when you’re a child, your. The
effect of your soul upon your nature isn’t that strong. You’re supposed to be in your childhood.
You’re supposed to be much more about entraining your brain, body connection, preparing you
for a dualistic experience in the most coarse level. In other words, physical reality.
And it’s only once you’ve kind of got the, you know, how does this arm work? And
that’s why you see babies flashing around and learning by putting things in their mouth and stuff
like this. Once the motor skills are in place, then it’s the relationship skills, the interpersonal
skills. So, you know, age 2 to 3, socialization of children is really, really important because if a
kid hasn’t learned to share and play and add value to another kid’s life through play, then by
about the age of three and a half, four and a half, if they haven’t got that right, then they’re likely
to go into very sociopathic tendencies. And if you’re interested in kind of early developmental
stuff, Jordan Peterson has actually done some fascinating podcasts on this subject, talking
about. And it’s a theme that regularly comes up in what he’s talking about, how there’s a window
of opportunity in a very early age of a child where they learn the skills necessary for life. And if
they haven’t figured out how to share and play nicely, then they’re likely to be quite a brute as
they grow older. But that’s all going up here. That’s all brain stuff. So the souls aren’t going to
really kick in in terms of informing your choices and who you are in your character until a bit later
on.
So when people are talking about children seeming to have old souls, it’s not the soul
that’s being demonstrated here, but there is something going on. And so that leads us on to do
they have fewer barriers to the guidance from their higher self? Well, here’s another thing that
we need to tear apart a little bit. So your higher self is generally going to sit back and not be
guiding you until you’re actually able to be culpable and responsible for your choices and so you
wouldn’t send a three year old out and say, off you go, earn a living, get a house. Because you
recognize that a three year old isn’t really going to be able to make good choices and decisions
at that stage in their development. So it’s going to be a bit later on before you give them enough
autonomy to be responsible for their lives. And it’s the same spiritually. You’re still learning,
you’re still developing, you’re still forming the fundamental personality that you’re going to have
throughout this life. And it’s once that personality is baked in, then you start to really have the
ability to bring the soul and the spirit into the equation. So what’s going on then? When we see
these kids that basically, you know, people go, oh, they’re a wise old soul. Well, I would take a
step back and say, what is being demonstrated that you recognize as wisdom? Is it that they’re
advising you on how best to invest your money? Is it that they’re telling you how to build a
property portfolio? It’s unlikely. What you’re probably seeing or recognizing as wisdom is
demonstrating compassion and kindness and sharing and perhaps a level of neutrality so they’re
less reactive to stresses that other kids might just go into meltdown over. And I mean, I can’t
speak for the person who asked the question, but I’m guessing that this is what they’re picking
up on. And the reason is that at a very young age, if a kid is a child, you know, toddler is
extremely well loved. I don’t mean smothered, I don’t mean spoilt.
Because there is a difference. Loving a child doesn’t mean that you don’t stop them
from falling over. It doesn’t mean that you don’t leave them alone sometimes so that they have
to learn independence. Smothering a child doesn’t actually help a child, but loving a child, which
means loving them even if you’re having to take a step back. It’s like if you want a child to learn
how to ride a bicycle, you do have to let go at some point, but you don’t stop loving them.
Smothering a child means you never let go of the saddle and the child never really learns how to
ride a bicycle. Again, I’m digressing slightly, but I want to make it clear that what I mean here is
not overprotecting a child, not smothering a child, not coddling a child, but actually loving the
child. And when a child is bathed in love, they become more Loving. And a loving child, in other
words, because they have been loved, they can love. A loving child is much more likely to be
coming from their heart at times and not so much always from their head. So rather than just
them trying to figure things out all the time, and intellectually, you know, the spatial and geometry
stuff, they’re coming from the heart, and they’re starting to show the qualities of the heart to do
with the spirit. And therefore they’re not being guided as such, but they are demonstrating the
qualities of love and the spirit, which means compassion, kindness, softness, gentleness, and all
of these things. So it’s actually a reflection of the environment that child’s been brought up into
and the amount of love that that child has received that will then make that child appear to be a
wise old soul. But actually, it’s just that they’re woken up in their heart more than a child that
maybe hasn’t been given much love, or even if they’ve been given much love, for whatever
reason, they’re not being particularly loving. And that could come down to how their environment
rewards them. So if they’re not rewarded for being loving, then it will. It won’t. It won’t flourish. So
it’s about love, which is wonderful, you know, and that stands to reason because we’re talking
about spirituality. So to answer the question, often it is said that wisdom comes with age, but
some children seem to have old souls, so they don’t have old souls. And wisdom doesn’t come
with age. It comes with experience and adult experience, really. And are they naturally, spiritually
wise? No, not necessarily. There is one part to that, actually. So wisdom is a quality of your soul.
So you may have. You may have accumulated a lot of wisdom over many, many lifetimes. And I
don’t mean knowledge. I mean wisdom. In other words, practicing the art of making wise choice.
And therefore, some people do have naturally more wisdom than others. Some have a real
deficit, and they will struggle in life, but they will be given opportunities to grow in wisdom as an
adult. And so, yes, some people overall may have more wisdom, but children generally aren’t
being guided by their souls. And therefore it won’t show as in evidence until they’re in
adolescence and adulthood. Okay, so hopefully that answers that one. And it’s a great question.
I don’t know. By the way, the pictures in the background are just to help illustrate the
point, but there’s no one I know. But thank you, Daisy, for that question, and I hope that answers
the question. By the way, Rachel B. Jones, thank you. You just joined a few minutes back, so I’ll
say hello to you and look, as I’m talking about stuff, feel free. If you’ve got any kind of follow up
questions or you want clarification on anything I’ve said, then just put it into the chat window.
Let’s now look at the next question. So they actually sent a question through and it wasn’t
anonymous, but I felt it’s better to make this anonymous. But it’s a lady who’s contacted me and
she says I’m having chemotherapy. I’m having chemotherapy. Is there anything I can do
spiritually to help alleviate side effects, to help me in general get through it easily? Thank you.
She then followed up. I’ll show you the second question now because they kind of
overlap and it’ll be easy just to answer them together. So then she followed up the following day
with another question that kind of follows on from it. So she said, for example, my white blood
cell count is lower than it should be. I would normally do a visualization to try and correct this,
but is it better to simply pr. Okay, well, obviously, you know, I have to put the common sense
disclaimer on that. I’m going to answer things spiritually, but it doesn’t negate or prevent you
from pursuing any kind of medical treatment. And actually, I mean, chemotherapy is medical
treatment. I’m not advocating one or the other. I’m simply providing you with information so that
you can be better informed. And you know, this is not a substitute for medical advice. Okay, so
we have to sometimes point these things out because otherwise people will go, oh, he’s saying
just pray or just do this. And. But hopefully, hopefully you’re all wise enough to know that this is a
spiritual discussion and we’re going to talk primarily about the spiritual stuff. So there is actually.
The good news is not just for chemotherapy, but what I’m saying here really applies to any
illness or disease.
There are a number of things you can do, but it actually reminds me. So let me just
grab this and I know I’ve talked about this book a lot from time to time, but there is a reason why
this book exists and it’s also available as podcasts. So I’m not trying to push the book per se,
and the book is priced not for profit anyway, so you probably cost more to buy a coffee than it
would to buy this book. But there is an entire section on part three, health and healing. So
physical feedback, toxic people, personal responsibility, and the dark secret in chapter 12, 13, 14
and 15 in this book, and in this, I talk a lot about how some dis ease, as in dis ease, a lack of
ease in your body is feedback because of a mindset or thoughts or activities that you’ve been
engaged in that you’re. You shouldn’t be doing. And your higher self has been telling you for a
long time you really shouldn’t do that, but you’ve been deliberately ignoring it, even if it’s not
consciously. And therefore your body’s amplifying the message by bringing about dis ease to
say, the choices you’re making do not leave you at ease. It causes you harm, and therefore now
you’re harming yourself to get your attention. So when we’re talking about that side of things,
then the fastest route to cure is to identify the behavior and your body is literally telling you so.
For example, you know, burn your elbow means you need to pay attention to how you handle.
For example, in my case, elbows are if you’re being a bit over yang in moving forwards with a
particular situation. So maybe you’re not being gentle and kind enough. So I burnt my elbow to
draw my attention to how am I pushing forwards or elbowing my way through this particular
situation. And I knew almost instantly what that was and why it was. And so I made the
connection, learned the lesson from the heart and the pain. There was never been any pain. And
the healing is going really, really well. In other words, the moment you resolve the lesson or the
feedback that your body’s giving you, then the body generally heals very quickly and there’s not
much pain. If I hadn’t learned the lesson and got the feedback, then what probably would have
happened is I’d keep catching that and maybe it would get worse or get infected, and then I’d be
dealing with a lot of pain. But, you know, touch wood, oh, the camera went there.
But luckily it’s healing nicely because that particular thing has been resolved. Okay, so
when we’re talking about dis ease, there is that side of things. It could be feedback.
When we’re talking about cancer again, I’ll refer back to the previous episode where I
talked about cancer, and I’ll put links to anything that we reference in the description and in the
podcast when it comes out. But there is a lot of disease because as we said, there are dark
forces and things are out of balance, that good people are being harmed by bad forces and bad
energies. Okay? And so cancer is a very good example of that. So that brings us on to
chemotherapy and answering this question. So there are Things that you can do and in no
particular order being positive, affirmations, strong intention, and as this person said,
visualization and praying.
And they’re the kind of obvious ones that you would think of. So what I thought was
interesting is I spent a little bit of time just before the show and I kind of wanted to rank them in
terms of their impact. Now the wise would say do all, you know, don’t just do one.
But none of them are going to have much value if you’re not doing it from the heart.
Okay, so intention, like I intend to get healed, or I intend to be clear of this cancer, or I intend not
to suffer the ill effects of my chemotherapy is a good thing to do. You know, having a. Having a
good positive framed intention is really, really powerful. Visualization is visual intention. So you’re
visualizing what you want to happen. In other words, rather than saying it auditorily, you know,
hearing it through your ears, rather than hearing it, you’re actually visualizing it. But they’re both
on a par. That’s the kind of the intention side of things. Affirmation, which is affirming how things
should be. So not I will be healed, but I am healed or I don’t, or I am free of cancer, for example.
That’s more of an affirmation. Again, in a previous episode, I actually discussed in one of
questions the difference between affirmations and intentions. Okay, so affirmation is stronger
than visualization.
And then moving up through the ranks, we have healing and prayer. Now healing is
either yourself or others, and that really depends. So some people have, some people have
been given the opportunity to have more of a gift of healing than others. And a lot of it depends
on their spiritual state. But also there is no healing, be it not for God and Jesus. So if you don’t
have God and Jesus in your life and you don’t accept them, then you won’t be able to do
healing. And you’ll probably struggle to receive healing as well. But you can be healed to some
extent and that is the transmission of curative energy. And again, all of this is prefaced by the
fact that we’re not talking about something that’s a lesson. If it’s a lesson, then it’s almost like a
self inflicted dis ease. And that’s totally natural because that’s you bringing your attention to
something you need to resolve up here and in your heart. And until you resolve that, you won’t
get, you won’t get alleviation from the illness. What I’m Talking about healing is to restore you in
the face of unjust damage and harm being done to you by external forces that are dark or evil.
Okay, so then you got healing, then you’ve got praying. Okay? And praying has to come from the
heart, has to be very sincere.
And prayers don’t have to be read from a book or anything. It’s just a heartfelt plea to
Jesus and. Or God. But you cannot ignore Jesus. So some people say, no, I don’t believe in
Jesus, but I believe in God. Your prayers probably won’t get through, because how can the
Father, metaphorically speaking, honor and respect your request when you have rejected his
Son, who he sent to tell you about Him? Do you see the point? And then some people say, yeah,
I love Jesus, but I don’t. I don’t really believe in God. Well, how can you love Jesus but reject his
message, which is, I am the way to God, and also that he is God. So you can’t.
They come together as one, and therefore you cannot have one without the other.
Okay? And healing Jesus is the healer. So if you’ve rejected Jesus or you’ve rejected his Father
in any way, then it’s a bit rich to ask for the gift of healing, you know, keeping things very
succinct. But healing is a possibility. And prayers similarly, if you’re praying for healing, it’s going
to come through them. Okay? So it may be that your prayers are heard by God, but they’re
answered by Jesus, if that makes sense. Again, I’m keeping things really simple, and I’m trying
to condense years of kind of working with these things and learning about these things so we
kind of reach the level of prayer. Is there something greater? Okay, and this one, this one’s very
subtle, but it is. It’s faith.
If you were replete with faith, then you wouldn’t even really have to pray. It would be
almost.
How can I put it? It would be like.
Like a buffer. It’s not guaranteed. It’s not a protection. And I know people that had
great faith, but have still succumbed to the onslaught of ungodly, dark, evil energies and attacks
and things. So it’s not a guarantee. But their faith carried them through that process so that even
if the end result was the death of the physical body, they are greater for it because their faith is
greater, if that makes sense. And so I’ve talked a lot about faith in previous articles, podcasts
and stuff, so I won’t go into it too much here. But the foundations of faith are trust, hope, and
Acceptance. And if you have total trust, ergo, in God and Jesus, total hope, which is a very
positive thing, and acceptance, which is understanding that there are things beyond you that you
don’t even have to understand, then you may find that that is the greatest thing that can actually
carry you through difficult times is faith. Prayer is almost like you waving your arms to say, here I
am God, can you help me? Faith is, you are embedded in God, known to God, and your faith is
a constant beacon, if you like, of, and I think I use the word beacon actually in that particular
show that’s shown or the podcast where I talk about hope, acceptance and trust as faith. So faith
is actually even more powerful than prayer. And again, in that discussion I talked about how
hope is like an ongoing prayer. And so that should help us understand why that would be the
other thing I touched on. There is positivity, I’d say right at the first offset, you need to make sure
that you’re very positive. If you’re not very positive, then you will undermine and scupper your
own efforts at your own salvation. If that makes sense. So going back to the question that was
asked then about how can I.
Let me just find that question again. So yeah, going back to this question then, for
example, my white blood cell count is lower than it should be. I would normally do visualizations
to try and correct this, but is it better to simply pray? Yes, it is better to pray, but I would do them
all, but I wouldn’t. I would do everything founded in the bedrock of faith.
So make sure you’re strong in your faith and then do the visualizations, the
affirmations, the intentions, the prayers, the self healing and maybe working with people who
can heal. But again, there’s a big difference between someone that heals, for example, in
Jesus’s name, or with the intention that the healing is a gift from God through them rather than
they think they’re doing the healing themselves. One’s humble, the former is humble, the second
is ego. But also if anyone’s talking about like using crystals for healing or anything like that, or
sage, you know, smudge sticks and things like this. Again, I talked about crystals and healing in
a previous episode and I’ll put a link to it there, but it’s not a good idea. The very simple kind of
like take home message I would say here is there is no healing without Jesus and God. And
therefore if it’s not referencing and honoring and respecting and showing gratitude towards
Jesus and God, then it’s probably not healing. And it might even Be harmful. Okay. There are a
lot of other practices that may appear to be good, but there is a but there is a cost and the
payback is not good. Okay, so keeping it really simple, yeah, do all of these things. And the
greatest thing, even above prayer, is faith. So hopefully that really helps answer that question.
I’m actually flying through the slides here so we can come back to things if we need be. But I just
noticed a question has come up, so let me just read this. I would like to suggest the book the
Body Keeps the Score for the Mental health question. And this question, it reveals a lot of
interesting information. Okay. I haven’t read it myself, I know that.
So I have trained in various spoken word therapies and practice them in a small way.
And I always come back to stillness and faith because a lot of information. So information means
in form, so within the limits of form.
And so a lot of mental health work and approaches, though they may be good,
actually entrain someone to be more aware of their negative state. And it’s very interesting. I
was talking to someone years ago and the way they were talking was like they were. Everything
was filtered through the words they had read in self help books and mental health books. And I
had to stop them and say, you’re not actually communicating like a normal, well balanced human
being. Everything is framed in this victim, oppressor, oppressed kind of narrative. And you’re
actually perpetuating a lot of your own problems by seeing the world that way. Now I said it a
little bit more compassionate, but you get the point that there is no self healing without being
aware of your soul and your spirit. And there is no true healing without faith and Jesus and God
and so everything in between may help move you in the right direction. But if it doesn’t ultimately
reveal spiritual truth, which is God, then it actually can become a dead end and a distraction. But
I’m not going to say it’s not helpful. I haven’t read the book and it may be helpful. And Vegan
Pandra just said the book above, although not spiritual, if you read it from a spiritual standpoint,
it reads similar to what you’re showing. Well, that’s great to hear. In which case I would always
say, go as close to the source of things and the source being God as possible. And that’s why,
as you’ve rightfully said, if you read it from a spiritual standpoint, well, to have a spiritual
standpoint means you already need to be more spiritually. If you already are more spiritual, then
it means you’re already awakening or more awake to the truth that there is something far greater
than all of us, you know, call it God, the source, whatever. And that there is some kind of on
intellectual relationship between you and that. And that in relationship is one of the heart, not the
head. So if the book, if someone’s at a point where the book would step them in the right
direction, then that book or any other book would be a good thing because it would move them
in the right direction. But if you’re already more spiritual, it may move you in the wrong direction
because it’s putting more mental emphasis into the problem rather than heart based emphasis.
So I guess that’s the kind of balance that I’m cautioning here. But really good recommendation
and if anyone else has read that book, I’d love to hear feedback and maybe a synopsis of what
the key points were in this show or in the next show. So let’s dive into the next question then.
But thank you again, veganpanda1975 for sharing that. Sometimes these things, you know, it’s
great to share them because it might really help someone as a starting point for a deeper inquiry.
So that’s really, really good. So what’s the next question?
Now we’re getting onto the American Pie side of things and this came in very late
today. But anon asks, they weren’t actually anonymous, but I made them anonymous to protect
them from should their kids ever come across this. Then, you know, it’s just, it’s just nicer for it to
be anonymous really. And I’m, I’m smiling about this, but this is something we’ve all had to
navigate. Now in the background you can see the, the cast of American Pie. And American Pie
is considered one of the greatest coming of age sex comedy shows of all time. It’s also part of
the problem really.
So the question is, I just wondered if we could talk about aboot abt navigating
teenage romance. Where are the boundaries and why are teenagers displaying ego? Not
necessarily all the time. There’s two very, very different questions there. So I’m going to tackle
the ego one as a separate question.
And I actually had some more discussion with this person that prompted them to ask
this question. So I’ve got a little bit more context than is written here. So really what they’re
saying is they have teenage, a teenage daughter and they want to know how best to spiritually
guide them when it comes to things like having sex and whether it’s a good idea and when
should it be These things start to happen now, you know, over the years. Boundaries are being
eroded. And I would say it’s deliberate. And that’s one reason why I said this film is. Is part of the
problem. Because films like this normalize wrong behavior and normalize wrong thinking and
make it seem like it’s acceptable. Because if we see it on tv, we see it in the movies, and
everyone’s got that as a reference point. And then young, impressionable adolescents can go,
well, it’s. You know, that’s what Stiffler did in this movie. So it’s good enough for him, it’s good
enough for me. And that’s really part of the problem.
So you’ll recall that I said that young children when we were answering the previous
question, young children aren’t really guided by their soul and their spirit. And that’s something
that happens as they enter into adolescence. So Even at adolescence, 17, 16, 18, you know, a
person is still developing, and they’re starting to become responsible. And the whole joyous
interplay between their soul, their spirit, and their brain and the choices that they can make that
start to move them more to the heart, more to the head, more towards God, more away from
God. These.
These choices are starting to be explored now.
That means that they’re still. Still very much just at the phase where they’re learning
about themselves. Okay, so let’s jump straight in. Having sex is a massive thing to do with you
and another person.
And, you know, talking to parents, even 10 years ago, there was one that one of their
teenage daughters has said to them, you do realize that now, you know, in your generation, you
would have snogged someone. That might have been the first interaction. But that in our
generation, having sex is about the same as having a snog. And that’s. That’s terrible. But I’m
not being judgmental in that’s terrible in a moral fiber sort of way. Although it is quite a bad thing,
it’s terrible from a spiritual point of view. So let’s flip everything on its head and start from the top
down.
You have yin and yang, you have a male and a female. And I’m, you know, all the
current WOKE stuff aside, because that’s not actually founded in any kind of truth. That’s fine.
Founded in ideology. And if you dig a bit deeper and follow the origins of things, you’ll probably
find someone called Lucifer or that kind of influence at the start of it all. But basically,
fundamentally, yin and yang, the universe and the creation and everything started off as an
expression of opposites and that is enshrined into the dualistic nature of most of nature. And
certainly humans born male, born female, okay?
And a male and a female are supposed together, are supposed to come together and
come together in love. And it is through love that they are supposed to bring forth a child. That
child, as you will know from previous shows, is a vehicle for a person on higher dimensions to
incarnate into, so they can then grow up and learn and evolve their soul and their spirit on a
spiritual journey to become closer to God and to grow more in their goodness. And you will
remember from the previous question I answered that the children that we often refer to as old
souls are actually the ones that are simply surrounded by a lot of love from their parents. And
that love nurtures their interactions from the heart, which means that they start to demonstrate
the qualities that they are here to learn about at a younger age. And so when they’re older, they
will be a more loving person. So if there isn’t love in their environment, in other words, if their
mother and their father did not love them, then they will be starved of that love, and they will be
a mess, spiritually speaking. And they will squander this lifetime because they will not be, you
know, broadly speaking, this hope. But they’re not set up for success in terms of spiritual
awakening and spiritual growth in this lifetime. And so they will just go through this lifetime
making bad choices, bad decisions, probably moving further away from God, and it could
actually do harm to them. So it’s vital that a child is born into a loving environment. I hope we
could all agree on that. And so if the union of the man and the woman wasn’t one of love, then if
a child is the result of that union, it’s a disaster, not a complete disaster. There is hope, there is
salvation, but it’s not a good starting point. And so at the age of 16, 17, 18, 15, whatever, though
the biological side might be getting activated and you start to notice the other sex. And there
may be certain things to do, desire there. The person is not themselves mature enough,
spiritually speaking, in terms of them being fully awakened to the guidance of their spirit and
their soul to actually really get into a relationship where there could be a full expression of love.
They haven’t yet even learned to love themselves. And that’s why a big part of the maturation
process through puberty and into early adolescence is just figuring out who you are. And that’s
why these ideologues who prey on children to confuse them about their gender and Identity are
actually doing so much harm because that’s a very crucial phase where a child is literally the
personality that they are unpacking and becoming is the vehicle through which the filters through
which they will make all of the choices that will either make them more spiritual or move them in
the opposite direction, which fundamentally is into darkness. So any kind of interference in that
is a very, very, very naughty and bad thing. So trying to kind of answer this question now, let’s
bring it down to the everyday and the mundane. So assume that we’re talking to someone who’s
say 16. So I would say look from a spiritual point of view, you’re still, you’re still growing into your
relationship with your soul and your spirit. And it’s only when you’ve fully awoken to that that you
can then actually start to let someone else in. In a way where your spirit can love their soul and
their spirit can love your soul. Because until you’re able to demonstrate who your soul is, then
how could anyone fully love it? The love your parents have for you is completely different.
Because if your parents love you, it was that love that was the bedrock of you coming into
existence. And so they love you in a very parental way. But the next phase of life is to learn how
to assess people, learn how to be aware of the soul and the spirit of another person and learn
how to be open to your own internal guidance so that your soul can tell you that’s a good person
and your spirit can send them love. And then you can have that love based attraction which has
nothing to do with attraction, sex, looks, material wealth, or anything like that. In other words, it’s
only when you’re receptive to the subtle signals from your soul and your spirit that you could
really be in a position to trust your judgment on another person. And that only happens after you
first of all learn how to be yourself. And that is a process that doesn’t really come to maturation
until about the age of 21. Okay, it’s about 21, 22. So the, any relationship prior to that is going to
be not based on soul and spirit and therefore not from the heart. It’s going to be from the head.
In other words, I find that person aesthetically attractive or they’re popular, other people like
them, therefore I see them as a prize worthy of attainment. So you become, if you, it’s typically a
male thing, but you hunt them to have them. And the greatest expression of that would be to
have sex with them so that you have had an intimacy with them. And so a lot of, kind of the
immature relationships, I don’t say that immature in like a judgmental way, they’re going to be
immature. But immature relationships are devoid of soul spirit interactions. They’re based purely
in the head, which is about desire. And so it’s not necessarily an ego thing, but they will, it’s all
about claiming, ownership, accomplishment, attaining, in other words, goal orientated. And that’s
the head. And it’s no different from finding a meal and eating it, except you’re now finding a
partner and having them. And this is slightly more a yang way of looking at things. But a lot of
women are adolescent women are acting in this way as well because culture is so twisted at this
time. And therefore the pressures upon them to think like a man, you know, are skewed in that
direction as well. And that’s just another kind of social problem. And so hopefully this discussion
can kind of dial things back from a spiritual point of view. So we need to understand that until we
have mastered ourselves and awakened to ourselves, we’re not really in a position to have a
love based relationship with another person that would be sexual in nature. And if you are
actually receptive to your guidance, then you will end up in a loving relationship and then it won’t
be sex. Because there is a different, a massive difference between making love and having sex.
And that’s something that is very hard to describe, but it is very real. And if you have
ever realized the difference, you’re a very blessed person indeed. And it completely changes the
way you see things. But most people are so goal orientated, I’m pointing to my head that they
will run ahead and try and attain the goal that is sex with someone desirable without having love
involved. So that’s why, you know, in look, in the Bible and other ancient text it says don’t have
sex until you’re a fully grown adult. But it’s not because of some law, it’s because this is the
foundation of spiritual truth that you’re, you’re not actually mature in as a holistic person. You’re
just operating predominantly from your needs, wants, lust, brain until such a time as you’ve
actually woken up to your soul and your spirit.
Now is it bad to have sex before about 21? Well, there is actually a massive
correlation. So people who tend to have a lot of sex, say at the age of 16, 17, 18, have a much
higher rate of becoming criminals. Okay. And there is a reason for this. So spiritually speaking,
sex for the sake of attainment is selfish.
It’s all about what’s going on in your head. I see them, they’re attractive by current
societal standards, therefore it would be an achievement to have them or it would up my status if
I was with that person. And therefore there is a desire to literally ownership through sex. And so
that’s all about me, me, me. It’s a very selfish way of looking at things. And therefore the reward,
the feel good from the having sex rewards selfish thinking and you become a more selfish
person. And selfish people ultimately are much more likely to be criminals, I.e. steal, rob, cheat,
deceive, etc. There is another aspect to this. So if someone is predominantly driven by their
brain when it comes to relationships, then they will become very charming because to overcome
the lack of warmth, that is the involvement of the soul and the spirit, they have to be disarming
and charming. And so if you are young and there’s someone very charming in your life who is,
you know, they’ve got the patter, you know, they know how to make you laugh, etc.
They have learned that as a coping mechanism for not being able to come from the
heart. And this is a broad generalization, but it’s worth understanding that sometimes the people
that are more charming and suave and appear to be erudite and appear to be, you know,
interested have no depth. They’ve had to learn these intellectual skills to compensate for a lack
of emotional and soul and spirit based resonance. And so, yeah, that’s a cautionary thing. So
just because someone’s charming and suave and knows how to make you laugh and stuff,
doesn’t mean that they’re actually a very warm person. And but it, you know, that again is
unfortunately a bit of wisdom there that perhaps people need to learn sometimes the hard way.
But yeah, the final thing is that when it comes to relationships, and this is something that I’ve had
to do a lot of work working with people who have been in such spiritually abusive relationships is
if you are actually a very, very, very good spiritual person, then early on, before you mature, you
may find yourself tempted by relationships. And what’s happening is that if you are a very good
spiritual person, that which is the, let’s just call them the dark forces or the satanic forces or
whatever the non physical want you to mess your life up so they will find someone in your
environment who is negative, dark, etc. But remember what I said, the people that turn, that
aren’t coming from their soul and their spirit often learn how to be extremely charming. To
compensate for the lack of warmth. Because they can’t attract people because they are loving.
They attract people because they are intelligent or witty or, you know, appealing. Okay? And so
you will be. And this has happened so many times that it’s almost like a pattern. A highly spiritual
person will be attracted to someone who is actually fundamentally not good, and they will get
into a relationship, get pregnant, you know, or it can be both ways. By the way, this is, this trap
works both ways that a man can be directed towards falling for a woman that is dark or evil.
Because once they’re emotionally trapped in that relationship, then it will be a drain on
their energies. It will just be like a consuming thing that destroys their, their own light that, you
know. And there are so many people that when they truly start to spiritually awaken, one of the
realizations they have is that they are completely out of sync with their partner. That their partner
isn’t awake, isn’t interested in being awakened, is actually going to oppose their awakening. And
that’s because a lot of good spiritual people are guided by, you know, whisper. Let’s, let’s just
keep it simple. Whispering thoughts in their head that aren’t from a good source to tell them, oh,
they’re nice, go with them. Only they’re not nice. They might be charming, they might be
attractive, they might be desirable, but what they are not is full of love.
And people literally can spend their entire lives and it might be 20, 30 years in before
they start to awaken and realize, oh dear, what have I done? Okay, And I’ve seen that time and
time again, and that’s a real caution. So you have to look at relationships not just as what’s on
the surface, but is this person being put in your path and are you being made to feel lust and
desire, those things that might drive you but you know, aren’t fundamentally good? Are you
being made to feel lust and desire and sexual attraction towards someone to try and trap you in
a relationship that’s actually going to be soul destroying? Literally soul destroying. Okay, so
these are masses that we, on this subject that we could go into even further. But hopefully that
just starts to drop a few nuggets of spiritual insight into the picture. And a lot of this, you know,
I’ve had to navigate this myself. And I’ve also made a lot of the mistakes that were. That people
can make and are being alluded to here. So this is not coming from any kind of pious direction at
all. I wish I knew now. Oh, sorry. I wish I knew then what we’re discussing now the question is,
can a young adult be wise enough and spiritually awake enough to even hear the truth that’s
being discussed in this? Most of them will just be driven by desire. And so just understanding the
fundamentals as say a parent or a guardian, that desire comes from the head.
And once we understand that, then that helps us navigate this from a guiding point of
view, hopefully.
But yeah, in an ideal world then people wouldn’t be getting together unless there was
love and it wouldn’t be happening until at least 21 as a minimum.
There’s a lot of branch topics that branch off this as well. So, you know, I’m sure this
will provoke questions and feel free to ask them for future shows. And we can always revisit this
and any other topics down the line. This is a spiritual live show and it’s all about the questions
that you ask.
So let’s have a look at the, ah, this. Okay.
Right. We’re almost out of time, but I wanted to share this with you. So sometimes
there are just these wonderful moments and they validate, validate a lot of the spiritual truths
that are being shared here and that we know intrinsically as spiritual people. So I won’t go into
the details because that’s not really relevant, but I’ve just spent about, I think three or more days
in hospital at the side of someone who needed someone to stand by them. And it was short
notice, so I didn’t take anything really with me. And that meant I didn’t have a change of clothes.
I just had what I had on me when I walked in that place.
But in the ward where we eventually ended up, there was a Good News Bible, which
is a very simplified Bible.
And to help pass the time and to also help support this person, I decided to read the
Gospel of St. Luke. And I can’t remember. Let me. I’ve got it in my other Bible here. So we’re in
St. Luke, chapter 12, verse 22. But in the Good News Bible, it. It’s very simplified. And so I was
reading this out quietly to them. Then Jesus said to his disciples, therefore, I tell you, do not
worry about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear. For life is more
than food and the body more than clothes. Consider the ravens. They do not sow or reap. They
have no storeroom or barn, yet God feeds them and how much more valuable you are than the
birds. And at that point, and I was starting to feel quite hungry, obviously there were shops and
I’d gone and got some snacks and stuff like this. But this was the end of day three and I’d run
out of all the food that I had and the shops were closed. And I’d literally just read that. And one
of the people who works on the ward popped their head in and this wasn’t on queue, this wasn’t
because the trolley was coming around. They popped their head in because they’d heard that I
was there. And I was basically camped up with this person to support them. And they popped
their head in and they said, would you like some food? And they brought me this.
And it may not look like much, a little ice cream, a cheese sandwich and tomato soup,
but that came at the right moment. And I’d literally just been reading, do not worry about food.
Do not worry about where things will come from. God will provide, you know. And, yeah, tomato
soup had a cheese sandwich and a nice diabetic, friendly ice cream was so much needed at that
point. And I hadn’t asked for it. It was total synchronicity and a beautiful moment. And it was so
beautiful that that’s why I took the photos, because the synchronicity of it wasn’t wasted on me.
And you can’t get a nicer sign than that. There is something far greater and far more than we
can ever understand. And sometimes we just get these little moments where it’s like, okay, this
will happen, like a sign almost.
And so, yeah, I just wanted to finish on that high. A few episodes back. Someone said
it would be really nice to share positive stories and messages and inspiration and, you know,
you can’t. You can’t get more inspiring than tomato soup and a cheese sandwich in the right
context.
Yeah. So really, really nice. And there’s some really nice comments in the chat just
coming up. So love this. So kind.
Thank you so much, Mark, for such an insightful live show. God bless you and how
kind of both you and that person. God bless you and thank you. Well, I say to all of you who
have joined me this evening, you know, whatever you’ve got going on in your lives, however it is,
hopefully some of what we learn in these shows can actually help us to navigate the challenges
that life throws at us. And so I say to each of you, those of you who’ve contributed and those of
you that are just joining in, equally valid, equally valued, and God bless you all and I wish you
well wherever you are, and I look forward to seeing you next week.
I guess that’s all we have to say for today. So I will leave you. And as ever, I really
value the time that you have given to joining us in this show.
