Ep.057 Free Will & Spiritual Growth. Project SATAN to Save the Environment? The Power of Lucid Dreaming. When Your Higher-Self Gives You Feedback

Episode transcript:

[00:00:06] This is Mark, and what you’re about to listen to is the live show which was recorded on 8th May, 2025. This show is quite eclectic. We’re going to be looking at things like lucid dreaming, free will, higher guidance, but we’re also going to be looking at a scientific project which goes by the name of Satan. And there’s a. Quite loaded, really with hypocrisy, but fascinating to look into as well. And importantly, what can we do from a spiritual perspective when we encounter things like this? So this is quite a interesting show, to say the least. And there’s that. There’s a big theme running through it which would be the theme of free will. And what’s really nice is, and it’s completely unscripted, unplanned, but that tallied really nicely with the book reading part of this show. So definitely one to listen all the way through because more so than perhaps previous episodes, there’s a real thread running through this and it all kind of ties together nicely at the end.

[00:01:11] So I leave you now to join me in enjoying episode 57. Oh, and just a quick note, I. I do start this episode and end this episode, referring to the new Pope. And I’ll give you a quick heads up now. I am actually going to release another bonus episode as episode 58. So you get two podcasts this week. Anyway, without any further ado, God bless you and enjoy and good evening everyone.

This is Mark and this is “Discussing Spirituality” for The Way Back.
And it is, if I just check, it is indeed the fifth. The fifth. The fifth month. It is the 8th of May, 2025.

[00:02:01] Yeah, we got a full show tonight.

[00:02:04] Other stuff has kicked off today in the last hour or so. Some news that’s pretty important in the new Pope is what I’m alluding to.

[00:02:14] It’s interesting because I literally just caught the tail end of that as I was having a quick break. I’ve been preparing for this show tonight and I’ve talked a lot about how. Well, I’ve alluded a lot to how I am able to work on kind of different levels. So there’s, there’s this interaction going on right now and then there’s stuff happening on higher levels. And quite often what will happen is as I get new information, I’ll start. It’s like a cascade effect. I’ll start pulling down stuff. So I’m a little bit discombobulated, for want of a better word, because right now I’m becoming aware of stuff to do with the New Pope. And at the same time, I’m here doing a live show with you guys. So talking of you guys, thank you for joining me and I really hope you’re well. It’s about 9pm in the evening here, so I hope hopefully you’ve got a warm drink so that you can join us and be comfortable as ever. I’m gonna just press on and dive into the show. So this show is titled Satan’s Scientists and the Power of your Dreams.

[00:03:27] Interesting stuff, but there’s a lot more to this show and really that title is just scraping the surface. So what are we going to be looking at today? Well, there’s this project called S A T A N Satan, which has been brought to my attention. And so we’ll be looking at that, but not too much, just. Just looking at it from a spiritual point of view.

[00:03:49] And then we’ll be looking at Dream Power.

[00:03:53] We’ll, as ever, be reading from the book.

[00:03:56] And we’ll also be looking at the topic of Higher feedback. And this stems from a conversation I had with a group of people who I’ve been working with and supporting for quite a few years now. And so it’s nice for that kind of private meeting to spill over into this public get together with me and you.

[00:04:15] And then questions from the chat, as ever. So as we’re covering different topics, if you have any, if anything I say evokes a question, then please put question mark, question mark, question mark at the start and then write a question out in the chat. And at the end I’ll scan through the chat and do my best to answer all appropriate questions.

[00:04:35] I have to say that because just in case, you know, sometimes we get people on here who just want to troll. But that’s okay, you know, the world is full of interesting and colorful and different kinds of people. And we will be kind of maybe alluding to why some people would do good stuff and some people wouldn’t later on in this episode. But this isn’t scripted. I’ve just got an idea of what might come up.

[00:04:57] So let’s have a look at the first thing. And it actually, although I said that we’re starting with Project Satan, there’s actually something I want to share with you first. And this is just a really nice bit of feedback. And I’m not kind of doing this to toot my horn or anything like that, blow my own trumpet. This is more just to share because this is our show. You know, this show wouldn’t exist if it wasn’t for you. And so I just wanted to share how this show is helping one person who’s written in and maybe you feel the same, maybe you pick up on the same points, but what they’ve said is thank you for your effort, time and energy that goes into the shows. Your passion to uncover and share truth is inspiring but so accessible as it’s so clearly and purely presented. I find the graphics and images make things click into place with a aha moments and leave an imprint that’s easy to recall like a visual reference in my memories.

[00:05:57] I love the new format, especially the book reading section. It’s a different type of learning when you are being read to delivered with such warmth and my heart is able to absorb the goodness. That’s. That’s really nice. Okay. And then, and then they get. They write on and say the shareable intro is a really useful tool to share with people who ask what is the way back? God bless you. And the picture there is the. I did a news article just letting people know on the website about this shareable intro. What they’re referring to is at the start of this live show there’s a five minute intro video.

[00:06:33] But it so nicely and gently explains what the wayback is about and obviously what the live show is about, but more so as well what the wayback behind it is about.

[00:06:42] And so someone in one of the comments on Rumble suggested making that into a standalone five minute video and I thought that was a brilliant idea. I edited it a little bit just to add some context to the end so that it just doesn’t come to an end and to remove the bit where it does the countdown into this live show so that it stands on its own two feet. And so that’s now out there and I’ll put a link to that in the. The description as ever, when I do the podcast write up, you’ll get all the links and screenshots for the podcast there. But I just thought that’s really nice bit of feedback. And what they’re referring to by the new format is from episode 53 onwards, we’re now into season two and I’ve kind of revamped things. So that’s lovely to hear that it’s speaking to you, that it’s resonating with you. And you know, I got an email from someone the other day. I won’t read it out because it was private email, but someone heard been following my work and I don’t, I don’t know them, but they contacted me to say your work’s really speaking to me and in particular for them, it was a Stonehenge documentary and it’s helping them on their journey. And I wrote back to them. I just said, look, thank you. Because you kind of, you know, we’re here together. We’re, we’re you, you and me. We’re, we’re in this live show together right now. And you’re listening and I’m, I’m talking and Jesse’s in the background shuffling around on the seat. And the.

[00:08:07] But, but we’re not physically in the same room. And so I can’t read your face. I can’t tell how my words are reaching you or if you’re listening as a podcast. So when someone writes back, it’s really nice because what I said to them, it’s. It’s like being on a desert island and putting messages into bottles and throwing his message in a bottle into the ocean. And then when someone sends you an email or a private message or something just to say thanks, that video was really helpful or that was really useful or gives positive or constructive but positive feedback.

[00:08:39] It’s finding out that the bottle reached someone, and that is so inspiring and humbling, to be honest. And for someone to open up and share how their journey is unfolding and how the work that I have done so far has helped them is really, really nice. So I just wanted to say thank you to the person that left this feedback that I just read out and everyone else that’s taken the time to send an email or just a quick WhatsApp or whatever it is, it really is appreciated. And you know what? If you’ve got anyone who’s creative in your life, whether they’ve got their own podcast or they’re an artist or they’re just a nice person doing kind gest, take the time to thank them because it. I can only speak for myself, but it’s so inspiring that it gives you the oomph and the energy to do more. And what we need is more good people doing more.

[00:09:35] And so ironically, you. If you or I write to someone or email someone and say thank you, then that’s a good deed that helps them to do more good deeds. And it just, it’s like snowballing the goodness. I didn’t think I was going to go into that, but anyway, here we are.

[00:09:51] This is a live show, so we can go into anything that we want.

[00:09:55] And.

[00:09:57] But now we are going to go into the first topic. And as ever, when, whenever we’re talking about things that might be a little bit heavy, remember, we are spiritual. So we are seeking the truth and we are remaining neutral so that we’re not going, oh, interfere or anything like that.

[00:10:20] And we are remaining humble, which leaves the door open to learn.

[00:10:25] And you know, when we pull the veils back on things that maybe have engendered fear in us, like the, like the name Satan in the past, then we take away their power. And that’s never a bad thing.

[00:10:41] So let me read out what someone sent me. I think it might have even been today. This one came in, or certainly yesterday. I recently came across the following information regarding a project in the UK to test the effect of spraying chemicals and aerosols in the air. A topic all of its own. But what jumped out to me was that they called it stratospheric aerosol transport and nucleation, or Satan for short. Do you believe this naming was done for shock effect publicity? So that shock effect publicity or for more nefarious reasons. And then they give the link to the article. So we’ll have a look at that article and then we’ll come back to the question because I think it’s good to go to the source. So this is technology review.com I’m not affiliated or anything. And this is the article that the link points to. And the headline is Climate Change and Energy. So that’s kind of like the topic domain. And then it says researchers launched a solar geoengineering test flight in the UK last fall.

[00:11:51] So they say last fall. So it’s obviously an American pundit writing up about this experiment. And the experiment, largely designed to test equipment, took place despite deep concerns about the technology. And really what they’re talking about is two things.

[00:12:06] So chemtrails, in other words, chemicals being put into the air, although typically they refer to as Cayman trails because they trail behind the airplane. But this is talking about doing it from a balloon and reading the article, I won’t, I won’t bore you with the whole article, but base, I’ll pick out some of the points. So last September, researchers in the UK launched a high altitude weather balloon that released a few hundred grams of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere. So sulfur dioxide, which I believe is actually a gas, was released into the stratosphere.

[00:12:41] Apparently this was some kind of great breakthrough. And the point is that the balloon and the equipment cost under a thousand pounds or dollars.

[00:12:49] And what they’re saying is, wow. So we could have like this, this is a budget geoengineering project, so we could have hundreds or as many as we want, because at that price they’re cheap.

[00:13:01] And they said, okay, look, the goal wasn’t to spray the sulfur dioxide. The goal was to test whether they could using this technology.

[00:13:09] And one possible means is spraying.

[00:13:12] What they’re talking about is easing global warming. Okay, that’s important. So they’re kind of highlighting this, the. The old bogeyman, global warming by deliberately reflecting more sunlight into space. One possible means is spraying sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere in an effect in an effort to mimic a cooling effect that occurs in the aftermath of major volcanic eruptions. Okay, so volcanoes spew out all kinds of toxic and noxious chemicals and pollutants and irritants. And so what they’re saying is, well, why don’t we put some up there ourselves?

[00:13:51] In case I didn’t come across in the audio, that was a big sigh. Okay, so anyway, they go on to say that the stratospheric aerosol transport and nucleation or SATAN balloon systems were made from stock hobbyist components with hardware cross that ran at less than $1,000. So that’s probably about 800 pounds.

[00:14:16] And then they go on, okay, and there’s some kind of rant about diabolical temptation leaking the information.

[00:14:24] And then there’s a reference to. There’s a special place in hell for those who leak their colleagues work. Okay, so references to hell, interesting.

[00:14:32] Tormented by ever burning sulfur. I mean, look, this is biblical references in a scientific review.

[00:14:37] And they’re referring to sulfur and sulfur dioxide is what they’re putting into the atmosphere. I believe sulfur dioxide is the thing that smells of eggs. So anyway, they go on and I’ll put a link. If you want to bore yourself, you can read this. The point is. What’s the point, Mark? What is the point? So let’s go back to the question.

[00:14:56] The question was that do you believe that the naming was done for shock effect, publicity, or for more nefarious reasons? Okay, so we got this kind of situation. You’re running an it. You’re running an it. You’re running a scientific project, okay? And you’re doing something that’s highly contentious, says so in the article that there’s a lot of public concerns about chemtrails and releasing aerosols in the atmosphere.

[00:15:23] And so which. Which genius in. In human relations or public relations decided that the best thing to do when you’re naming a project that the public won’t like is to call it Project Satan? Okay, so I’m going to draw your attention to some of the shows that we’ve done before, not as a cop out But I don’t want to, I don’t want to kind of reinvent the wheel, but I want to draw your attention to three, three key aspects to this. Because this is as a spiritual show, I want to try and look at this from a spiritual perspective. So the first one is we talked about something in episode 54 and that is where do ideas come from?

[00:16:05] And I’ll put links to episode 54 and it’s a really great episode actually. There’s, there’s one slide in the podcast write up that shows all. Loads of stuff to do with ego down one side and, and loads of stuff to do with the good side of you down the other side. And it’s almost like the battle within of good versus evil within each of us. So in that I explained that we are receptive. Unfortunately it’s not by choice, but we are receptive to having thoughts given to us from external sources. And you could call them angels and demons, keeping things really simple. I mean, it’s more complicated than that. And I go into it in episode 54, but basically the proverbial one on each shoulder, one’s telling you good things, one’s telling you bad things, but what we forget is that there’s actually our soul and our spirit on the inside and that is the guiding light and that is what we should be listening to.

[00:17:00] So this team were guided by dark forces to name their project Project Satan.

[00:17:09] And there’s no one, I hate to say it, but there’s no one spiritual involved in that project.

[00:17:15] And if they were, their higher self would be guiding them to complain about the name or to leave the project, or to chastise their colleagues for coming up with, in other words, they’d be pushing back against it. So if, if anyone scientific is involved in that project and they think, oh yeah, that’s a good name, or yeah, it’s just a bit of fun or anything like that. You’re just doing the devil’s work. And I don’t say that flippantly or metaphorically. They’ve been guided to use that name.

[00:17:45] Why?

[00:17:47] Okay, well, that leads me on to the next thing that I wanted to remind us about. So one of the other things I’ve talked about in the past is episode 50 and I talk about a cafe called Satan’s Cafe and all the principles I talked about there. So this cafe in Barcelona and it’s called Satan’s Coffee Corner, it literally is a place of worship of Satan and this scientific project is emulating that. They are worshipping Satan and follow it through this project is their work.

[00:18:22] They’re proud of it. They put their time, their energy, their blood, their sweat and their tears into a project that’s called Satan.

[00:18:31] Now, not one of them probably says, I am a Satan worshipper.

[00:18:35] Yet every day, multiple times a day, they think of Satan and they work for Satan. Just as the people that work in Satan’s Coffee Corner and the people that go there for their coffees are going to Satan’s. It’s actually called Satan’s on the windows of that cafe. In other, in other words, unconsciously but conscious. So on some level they are aware of it, even if intellectually they’re not aware of it. They are worshiping and paying homage to Satan every time they think of that project, every time they’re involved in that work.

[00:19:10] And so that’s never a good thing, okay? Spiritually speaking, you know, and there has to be some kind of moral accountability for that because, look, scientists, I’m just going to point out some hypocrisy here. So if you’re purely a scientist, then that normally means that you deny the existence of God.

[00:19:32] But why then homage. Pay homage to Satan. Because for Satan to exist, then God needs to exist.

[00:19:38] If you deny God but you pay homage to Satan, then you’re not just agnostic or atheist, you’re actually Satanic because you’re holding up one side. It’s like two sides of the coin, okay? Good and evil, God and, and Satan, okay? And you’re going, well, I don’t believe in God, but I’m having a good laugh about the name Satan. And I’m worshiping Satan by my choices, my deeds and my intent. And so that’s not neutral, that’s not atheist or agnostic, that is Satanic because you’re denying God and you’re worshiping Satan. So I mean, why am I saying that to us? You know, I’m talking to you and it’s unlikely that you’re involved in this, in this particular project. And if you are, and you listen to this, hopefully this is giving you cause for concern. If you have a gram of morals left within you, then you maybe will ponder on what I’m saying. Maybe not. That’s your choice. And the third point was about this, which is, what’s this project really all about? It’s about putting balloons in the atmosphere.

[00:20:49] Why?

[00:20:50] Because of climate change.

[00:20:52] Okay, well, this is just puppet show.

[00:20:55] We in episode 22. So going back, excuse me, going back what seems like a lifetime ago, we talked about the World Economic Forum vs Jesus in other words, the, the active arm of satanic beliefs and, and actions versus the embodiment of goodness, Jesus and the World Economic Forum. In that article podcast, we were talking about them trying to get us all to eat bugs and own nothing and be happy and become the slaves, outright slaves and living under a cashless society and all of that stuff. And one of the big things that came up was the idea that they’ve, they’re trying to beat us into submission by fear. And one of the big fear topics is the climate crisis. And I, I showed evidence and shared with you in that that every single climate crisis, doomsday, climate prediction that has ever been put out there over the last 50 or 60 years, none of them have come to fruition. None of them have demonstrated anything. But the weather does change.

[00:22:02] So talking about climate change is like talking about clock change or time change or season change. It’s change, it’s going to change.

[00:22:11] But in a. I can’t remember if it’s in one of these episodes, but I did a lot to talk about geoengineering and there is thousands of projects around the world to manipulate the weather. And this weather balloon is just another example of using technology to interfere with the weather, to interfere with nature, to bring about rain or to bring about drought, or to cool down or to heat up.

[00:22:40] In other words, there is so much technology and quote unquote geoengineering projects that are manipulating the weather. And there’s patents and evidence of this going back to the 90s. I think it’s like 1930s. And again, this is a spiritual show. So I want to always try and bring it back to spiritual stuff.

[00:22:59] So the spiritual side of this is, is this just to answer the question, Is this just them trying to be sensational, trying to get publicity?

[00:23:10] I think not. I think, well, it’s not. And that’s one thing I really wanted to touch on the question said, what do you think, Mark?

[00:23:17] Doesn’t matter what I think.

[00:23:20] What matters is what is the truth.

[00:23:23] So I had some preconceived ideas, having read the question and read the article, but I wanted to ascertain the truth. It could just be very unfortunate and it could be like an act of stupidity on their part to have named the project Satan.

[00:23:36] But it wasn’t. They were given that name. It was the idea was planted like a seed and they chose to accept that idea. Even when the ideas are given you, you still have free will and choice. So you can still say, no, that’s a terrible idea. I don’t want to do that. It’s wrong. But they embraced the bad idea and the result is a project that pays homage to Satan. And by the way, just very briefly, you know, sulfur dioxide. So what is sulfur dioxide? Just to kind of brush up on our chemistry, everyone, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health noish part of the cdc. Sulfur dioxide, it’s a sulfurous acid, right?

[00:24:19] And if I scroll down here and I say incompatibility, excuse me, incompatibilities and reactivities.

[00:24:26] Powdered alkali metals such as sodium and potassium, water, ammonia, zinc, aluminium, brass, copper, and all of. So all of these things will be affected by it. And note, it reacts with water to form sulfurous acid. H2, SO3, acid rain. Oh, and hang on a second.

[00:24:46] Don’t we all have to have like hundreds of catalytic. Well, I exaggerate, but lots of catalytic converters on our diesel cars to prevent sulfur dioxide and other noxious, unpleasant gases and particles from leaving our vehicles.

[00:25:04] And yet here they are putting it into the upper atmosphere. I mean, talk about hypocrisy. So the environment, the science to save the environment is doing the damage to the environment that they criticize us for, for driving diesels. So there’s just blatant hypocrisy. And by the way, exposure routes, so it can be inhaled, get into your skin and through eye contact and it causes irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, rhinorrhea, which basically is runny nose, choking, cough reflex, bronchoconstriction.

[00:25:41] And in liquid form it can cause frostbite and it targets the eyes, the skin and the respiratory system. That’s what they’re putting in the atmosphere.

[00:25:50] That’s what these scientists are releasing in the upper atmosphere to save us.

[00:25:55] So in the name of saving us, they are emulating the toxins that the diesel cars and petrol cars release and releasing toxic components into the atmosphere. It’s ridiculous.

[00:26:09] Anyway, so from a spiritual point of view, let’s bring it back to does this seem like good or evil?

[00:26:19] And if it seems like evil, then what can we do about it? Well, raise awareness.

[00:26:26] Could you imagine if people who are going to go to that university or get involved in that company said no, actually, the projects you are doing are evil. I don’t want to give you my money, I don’t want to give you my time.

[00:26:38] Or people who knew people working on those projects said, shame on you, shame on you for thinking that it was funny to call it Satan. You could have called it, you could have found another acronym. You went out of your way to name it Satan.

[00:26:55] So even if you don’t believe in God, are you deliberately trying to insult people? And you know, in your scientific hubris, you’re putting poisons in the atmosphere, you’re, you’re being hypocritical in your actions. You know, in other words, six degrees of separation. There is no one involved in that project that isn’t connected to you by six degrees of separation.

[00:27:23] So who knows who. If you share this video or this podcast with and then it gets through to someone else, well, that, that could be four degrees away.

[00:27:34] And then, you know, it’s like chain of, chain of awareness. What’s the goal spiritually? To seek the truth. Why?

[00:27:43] Because if we shed light on the truth, if we bring these things into the open, I’m grateful to the person that sent me that article so that I could become aware of it. I’m doing my bit, I’m bringing it into the light, I’m raising awareness, I’m looking spiritually into the motivations and saying it’s not good.

[00:28:06] So trust the process.

[00:28:08] You’re a spiritual person. You want the world to be a better place.

[00:28:12] Sit in neutrality. Let the information pass you by and when the opportunity comes up to share it with like minded people or to express an opinion in a positive way, you’ll know what the right thing to do is and you’ll be armed with the right information.

[00:28:30] And so when the, when the politicians are saying, well, we’re going to tax your cars more, say, well, hang on a sec, this is hypocrisy because you’re already releasing these so called bad chemicals into the atmosphere in these experiments. So why should we pay more? Are you going to tax those projects? Are you going to, you know, in other words, once you’re armed with information, you can push back gently.

[00:28:52] Okay, but let’s move on to other stuff now because as ever, there’s a lot of interesting things, you know, to share with you. But the other, the final thing I wanted to point out is it’s interesting how this one article forms like a convergence between three other topics that we’ve covered in the past. And it just goes to show how when we’re spiritual, we can look at anything and we start to find the bigger the connections and the bigger picture in these things.

[00:29:21] So here’s the next thing that I wanted to share with you all.

[00:29:25] Okay, so, hi there, Mark, it’s Nick here.

[00:29:29] In fact, let’s not read that out.

[00:29:32] Let’s see if we can do it this way instead. Press that button and hopefully you will hear something And I will hear it as well.

(Nik talking)
Hi there, Mark, it’s Nik here. I just have a quick question for you. For the show, I wanted to know when we are asleep and dreaming, whether or not we are in control in any way with that dream and whether or not we’re receiving higher guidance from our say, from our higher self, and if so, whether or not we can have free will and we can choose to listen to that or not. So yeah, be good to hear your thoughts on that.

(Back to Mark Talking)
Thanks. Thank you, Nick for sending that audio in. And what Nick was saying in that is to do with dreaming and control and free will and guidance and stuff. And so his words are there and I’ll share that in the podcast write up as well. But what I’ve done is I’ve. I’ve gone through and I’ve kind of summarized it into four questions so we can break it down and understand it.

[00:30:30] The first question is, when we are asleep and dreaming, are we in control in any way with, within that dream or with that dream?

[00:30:37] The next question would be, are we, are we receiving higher guidance?

[00:30:42] Then third question is, is it from our higher self? So if we are receiving higher guidance, is it from our higher self? And then the fourth part is, do we have free will to choose to listen to that? Or so if we are receiving guidance and we’re dreaming, can we actually choose to ignore it?

[00:30:57] Great questions. Actually really, really kind of interesting stuff. It got me curious to do the work, to kind of go inside and find out more from a spiritual point of view. Some of it I already had experienced and had knowledge of, but some of it is new to me as well. And so that’s great, you know, I love it when a question brings out new stuff.

[00:31:19] So here’s what we’ve kind of. Let’s follow the questions that we’ve got on the screen. So when we are asleep and dreaming, are we in control in any way with that dream? We can be. And people who are in the know will talk about things like lucid dreaming and they’ll get quite animated and excited about it.

[00:31:39] But there’s always a but. So lucid dreaming. Okay, what, what do you know yourself to be?

[00:31:50] I mean, look, physical body, you know, in there, physical brain stuff going on.

[00:31:58] We know that spiritually speaking, there’s a lot more to us than that. So we talk about things like a soul, a spirit, an aura.

[00:32:06] Okay, so what about mind?

[00:32:10] Have you ever heard of mental body consciousness? I see, so there’s all these different parts. It’s almost like we as A person are potent, like this potential colony, if you like. So what’s the highest part of the spirit and the soul? Okay, so when I talk about higher self, soul and spirit, I won’t go too much into it. I do, I go into it a lot and break it down and explain it and also the history of these things and, and their origins and stuff. But fundamentally, mind is the thinking part, which is why mindfulness will never lead to spirituality. It will only lead to more awareness of mind.

[00:32:49] Now when it comes to dreaming, it’s mainly mind and mental body stuff, maybe a little bit of consciousness, but predominantly mind and mental body.

[00:32:58] And to be lucid in your dream, you have to be having your seat of awareness predominantly in the mind.

[00:33:07] Okay.

[00:33:09] And so when people become more lucid in their dreams, what it means is that their intention, consciously or otherwise, has been to shift to mind based awareness rather than say, for example, heart based, spiritually based, soul based awareness.

[00:33:27] And if you’re particularly spiritual, then mind based awareness isn’t necessarily a good thing. If you’re not spiritual or the antithesis of spirituality, then mind based awareness is probably the only thing you’re aware of. You wouldn’t have spiritual awareness.

[00:33:42] And so what you can read between the lines I’ve just really just spelled out there is that you can be, to answer question one, you can be in control if you’re in your mind. Because the mind is the dream vehicle, keeping things really simple. Years ago I used to talk about things like the astral body and stuff like that. But years and years of exploration and transcending these lower vehicles and then being able to kind of metaphorically speaking, turn around and observe them from a place of a greater state that’s beyond them. You realize that these are just labels.

[00:34:20] And you know, the astral body and things like this is another way of understanding the mind when it’s out of the body or when it’s separate out, operating in an independent mode.

[00:34:33] So the mind, and I’ll roll the mental body into that because they kind of want part the different parts of the same unit, if you like, the same functional unit.

[00:34:43] So to be in control in your dreams, you have to be mind based, which means that you’ve practiced the art of being.

[00:34:53] It’s a bit like mindful. Okay, so is that a good thing? Well, no, because it’s not the state of spirituality. It’s the state from which most of the problems arise. I mean, you can’t have addiction without the mind being involved. For example, any kind of addiction is rooted in the mind, including fear based addictions.

[00:35:17] So that doesn’t mean that that’s the only source of dreams though. But when you’re talking about being in control within a dream, then that’s basically saying that the vehicle that makes the dream, predominantly the mind you are using. So you can orchestrate your own dreams and change them. And that’s what people who practice lucid dreaming are doing.

[00:35:38] But you can get dreams from other sources.

[00:35:45] Okay, and again, if we refer back to that episode I alluded to earlier, where do thoughts come from? You could change that to say, where do dreams come from? And just as I explained, we have a soul and a spirit and stuff inside us. It’s really, really good. There’s things on the outside that like to interfere in good people. So, you know, we’re good people, good spiritual people here and we can be influenced externally. So in other words, someone can project a dream into us.

[00:36:19] And that actually accounts for about, if you’re, if you’re a good spiritual human, then about 70.5% of the dreams you’ll be having are projected into by external forces.

[00:36:32] And if you pay attention to those dreams, they’re normally focused on fear or desire.

[00:36:38] And the reason is that the external forces are trying to either create fear so they can feed off it, so they’ll give you a nightmare or an anxiety dream or a worry dream, or it’s to push you into ego so they’ll give you desire.

[00:36:54] In other words, you dream stuff that’s quite, you know, it could be sexual in nature or it could be a material gain, or it could be anything like your wildest dreams being realized. You know, this is why when they talk, when they, when they’re advertising like the national Lottery, you know, realize your wildest dreams. Why? Because you realize one material wealth. My, my dreams aren’t material. My dreams are spiritual. So in other words, most of the dreams that people are having, if they’re good spiritual people, will actually be instigated in them by external forces to try and drop them into their ego either through fear or desire or lust or these kinds of things. So it’s fascinating. And that’s about 75% of the time.

[00:37:37] So going back to the question, are we receiving high guidance? Well, by guidance, if you change that to say, are we, are we receiving information from sources on higher dimensions, then yes, but 75 of it on average for a good human being would be negative interference trying to trip us up in our dreams. And therefore is it from our higher self? Well, the remaining 25%, not all of it is it’s actually quite rare that the higher self would give you a dream. And I’ve experienced this. And when you get a higher self dream, it is profound.

[00:38:21] You’ll be 100% awake, but it won’t be lucid and you will understand things. It’s like there’s real meaning in it and quite often you’ll wake up immediately after the point has been got.

[00:38:35] And.

[00:38:37] But it’s very rare. And when your higher self takes the effort to give you a dream, it’s normally because you’re ignoring them.

[00:38:46] So it’s a prelude to this thing called feedback, which we’ll be talking about a bit later on in this show.

[00:38:53] So it’s not a good thing.

[00:38:55] In other words, you haven’t been listening to them. So now they’re going to shout at you through a dream to get your attention because now they’ve got your attention in a dream where you’re not more awake to get in the way.

[00:39:06] But it’s very rare that your higher self is the instigator of your dreams. Most of the dreams you have, again, just be honest and look at the content of your dreams and look at the feelings because they might feel good, but are they trying to lead you into ego in some way, shape or form? That’s the clue. In which case it was probably instigated either by your own mind because the mind is the ego vehicle. Well, the mind and the ego kind of run down, skip down the street, hand in hand a lot of the time, or it’s from external sources.

[00:39:37] Okay, and here’s a really interesting thing. If, if you’re having a dream, a bad dream.

[00:39:46] So this will answer. Let me, let me bring back on the screen. So this is kind of going to the fourth question.

[00:39:55] So the first question, can we. Oh, let’s go back. So the questions we’ve got here, the first one’s been answered when we’re asleep. Can we be in control? Yes. If we go mind based, are we receiving higher guidance? Yes, but not necessarily from good things. Is it from our higher self? Yes, but very rarely. And if you are getting a dream from your higher self, then you better pay attention because you’ve been ignoring them and they’re really trying their best to get through to you. And then the fourth one, do we have free will to choose to listen to that? Not generally. If your higher self has gone to the effort of giving you a dream, then you would have paid attention. You might not have got the message, but you certainly would have been present because they would have woken you up in the dream to pay attention. Now, if it’s a negative dream, say for example, dark forces are trying to give you a nightmare or pushing you into ego. In your dream, your higher self will intervene to wake you up enough.

[00:40:50] And this isn’t a given, but this is the, this is how things should unfold.

[00:40:55] Not that you should be interfered with in your sleep anyway, but the fact that it goes on. Your high self will often try and wake you up enough that you can pay attention to realize this dream isn’t right, this isn’t good.

[00:41:07] And even if you’re just tiny bit present because your higher self is waking you up, then you, you can have free will. So you can’t have free will if you’re not present, which is why a lot of people will go through their entire lives and never demonstrate free will because they’re only ever reacting and they’re on autopilot. To exercise free will, you do actually need to be present, which is why there’s so much that is in the world that’s been put there to keep you asleep.

[00:41:41] Because if you actually wake up, then you start to demonstrate free will.

[00:41:45] Okay, so your higher self will wake you up in the dream if it’s a bad dream being given to you by external forces so that you can make a choice and then you can wake yourself up or reject the dream, or just roll over and the dream will go away, break the state type thing. So it is actually quite fascinating what’s going on. And people, you know, some people put a lot of store in dreams. And I, I’ve had dreams recently that were quite profound, but that was from my higher self explaining something that I needed to understand and let go of. And I understood that it was a higher form of guidance, but I still did the work. And we’ll talk about what that means doing the work.

[00:42:29] Okay, But I’m going to jump over now to what it says on the screen here. Read the book. And the reason is because we’re going to read the book and then we’re going to come back to the stuff that we were talking about because it leads on to the next bit.

[00:42:50] I’d like to do something special with you. Now, someone once described this book as a living book.

[00:42:57] Every time they read it, they get something new from it. So what I’m going to do is we’re going to read a few pages together and I’m going to break down the meaning behind the words and give you more of an understanding because this book really is Like a spiritual user guide, helping each of us to get more from our spiritual state. So if that sounds interesting, then join me now.

[00:43:22] And here we are with spiritual life explained. The wake up call, the way back to God. And we are on chapter. I don’t know if you can see that there, but we are on chapter seven.

[00:43:34] Good, good number.

[00:43:36] And just look over there and check that we’ve got. The audio is working. It looks like it’s working. So following on from Last week, Chapter 7, Pillars of Spiritual Life.

[00:43:51] But now I want to turn your focus back to us, to you, and make sense of these higher revelations from the perspective of our everyday lives.

[00:44:02] So let us explore three topics which, which may seem unrelated at first, but which are tightly interwoven and together are the three important pillars of a spiritual life. What are they? They are number one, free will, number two, health and healing, and number three, being holistic.

[00:44:25] These topics are not just going to help us to live more gracefully, increasing in spirituality and becoming closer to God. They are also going to answer some important questions like why does healing not work for some people?

[00:44:40] Why manifesting and the Law of Attraction may actually be spiritually counterproductive?

[00:44:46] And why are some spiritual people struggling so much?

[00:44:50] Once we understand these three pillars better, we should find more ease in life.

[00:44:55] I know that is a pretty big claim. So let’s find out how all this unfolds from the heart.

[00:45:03] Spiritual growth has very little to do with deep intellectual understanding and philosophy. Rather it comes from the heart.

[00:45:10] So let’s make it easy for ourselves.

[00:45:15] Take a deep breath and simply intend to be in your heart.

[00:45:22] Think of it as that’s where your spirit is and so your heart is the seat of your higher self.

[00:45:30] Would it be wiser to deliberately include your higher self?

[00:45:35] More love, less thinking, more being, less doing.

[00:45:47] Part 2 Free Will Free will can be thought of as that special gift a human has to be able to make a choice in any situation.

[00:45:58] Without free will, we would be totally habitual and would respond to our environment in a robotic, predetermined way.

[00:46:06] So it would be prudent to consider where does choice come from and what is it based upon?

[00:46:13] How is it that in any situation there are at least two options?

[00:46:19] Chapter 8 Guided by God Fundamentally, you are always being guided by God to become closer to God.

[00:46:28] This guidance comes from your spirit, which you could think of in simplistic terms as the receiver of God’s desire and intention for you to be good.

[00:46:40] Your spirit then presents you with guidance, which is how in almost all situations be they Seemingly important or trivial. You always know right from wrong, good from bad.

[00:46:53] Think about those scientists and they’re in the team meeting and they’re sitting around the table and they go, what we’re going to call this project. And someone goes, hey, you know, if we try, we use these words, we could call it Satan.

[00:47:11] Is that good or bad? Is that right or wrong?

[00:47:17] Even if it’s trivial, there was still choice.

[00:47:22] Chapter 9 Head versus heart.

[00:47:26] The good choice is the one that will take you closer to God. And this is the one that came from your spirit. The other choice or choices take you in the opposite direction, away from God and come from your brain, your habits, and perhaps even ego or fear. And I’ll just interject at that point, remember what I said about lucid dreaming being about the mind.

[00:47:50] It’s the mind, in many cases, that is giving you the other thoughts, the other choices, the ones that are taking you away from God. Whereas your spirit is giving you the choice, the right thing to do, the right choice, the right thought to take you closer to God.

[00:48:12] So this is the archetypal head versus heart situation, though the reality is a little more nuanced. But let us keep it simple for now. So I was just giving you a little bit more of that nuance. When I’m starting to talk about the mind being involved.

[00:48:27] I’m not saying the mind is the only thing that can give you bad ideas, and I’m not saying the mind never gives us good ideas.

[00:48:35] But what I am saying is in general terms, when there’s conflict within its conflict between the spirit and mind.

[00:48:44] So given a choice between what God is guiding you to do, heart and what your lower self is presenting as an alternative response, head, then free will is your ability to make the wrong decision.

[00:49:01] Just think about that for a moment. I’m just pausing from reading. Just think about that for a moment.

[00:49:06] Free will is your ability to make the wrong decision.

[00:49:14] I’ll read on.

[00:49:18] When you think about it, without free will, then God would guide you, you would react to that guidance and you would evolve, becoming higher in vibration, virtue and goodness, moving closer to God. But it would be almost robotic, a kind of unconscious automated reaction and thus of little real value.

[00:49:36] By having free will, then the fact you have to consciously make a good choice means that it has great value when you choose what is good.

[00:49:45] Now remember again, the purpose of me reading the book isn’t just to read it, but it’s to give you these interjections and tie things together with the live show and what we’re learning.

[00:49:56] In the dream example, I said that you need to be present to make a choice. So if you’re unconscious, then as I said in the book earlier, you’ll make the habitual unconscious automatic reactionary response. And that’s what astrology is. I might, I can’t even remember. Maybe I talk about it in this book. But when, when they say, for example, Capricorns will do this, or Virgos and it’s all about detail or you know, find some examples, Gemini, there’s always multiple conversations. What they’re referring to is the unconscious pre baked in personality archetypes that if you’re not present, will dominate how you are. And that’s why they say, well, astrology compels, it doesn’t impel. In other words, you can override your astrology, but when you’re not present and you’re on autopilot, then astrology is one of those things operating at a lower level that gives you your nuanced responses.

[00:51:02] So going back to the book, this reveals that all that is good in you.

[00:51:06] Sorry, this reveals that all that is good in who you are is because you have listened to God and chosen the choices your spirit presented.

[00:51:16] That’s so profound.

[00:51:18] This reveals that all that is good in who you are is because you have listened to God and chosen the choices your spirit presented.

[00:51:31] So those that listen to God become more good even if they do not consciously know about God. And let me just put a caveat here. I don’t mean that they hear God in their head.

[00:51:42] What it means is God is guiding their spirit. Their spirit is guiding them actually goes via the brain.

[00:51:48] And so the thought in their brain that they think is theirs or when they have several thoughts to weigh up if they’re present.

[00:51:55] If you’re present, you’ve got a thought there from your spirit and you’ve got a thought from your habits, from your mind, via your brain, etc. Which one are you going to choose? If you choose the one that came from your spirit, then that thought actually came from God and you grow.

[00:52:14] Amazing.

[00:52:17] It’s amazing. This, this, this book was, I mean it’s, it’s obvious to me this was given, this was channeled. And I don’t mean from beings or anything nonsense like that.

[00:52:27] You know, I used to do. I’m going off piste here, but I used to, you know, the first book which I pulled, it’s no longer available, was channel teachings from higher dimensions and that was channeled by Lords of Light and the Masters of Light and the Master of karma and others.

[00:52:43] What quote unquote, the Theosophical Society and others and John Yar in his 1980s document, what they referred to as the spiritual hierarchy. This isn’t, you know, enlightenment is a state that’s one thing everywhere.

[00:53:01] So you can either go to a being on higher dimensions or you can go to the source.

[00:53:06] Okay. And when you read a sentence like that, you realize this came from something much higher than a so called spiritual hierarchy. When you read this, this reveals that all that is good in you, all that is good in who you are, is because you have listened to God and chosen the choices your spirit presented.

[00:53:24] When God perceives. I’ll read on. When God perceives humanity, the people who are really good are the ones who are more receptive to God’s guidance.

[00:53:35] Do you consider.

[00:53:38] Sorry, these pages are stuck. It’s a live show.

[00:53:46] Do you consider yourself a good person or have you ever contemplated how you became good?

[00:53:54] Before we move on though, it’s worth understanding that the more you make the right choices, the easier it gets.

[00:54:02] In this way, when your lower self is well aligned with goodness and is spiritually mature, then often it head presents the same choice as your spirit heart.

[00:54:14] And so there is no sense of choice.

[00:54:17] You already know that the right. You already know what the right thing to do is and you just do it.

[00:54:23] But you got there by previously making the right choices and so you have grown through experience.

[00:54:29] That’s a really good place to stop.

[00:54:34] Let me just mark that so I don’t lose the place for next week.

[00:54:39] I hope you’re finding what we’ve discussed so far really useful. But I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for watching this live show and also for your support.

And let’s return to the live show and I’ll see you soon.

[00:55:18] We’re back over here now. So that was actually really nice. I hadn’t read that in quite a while, probably not since just after I published that. I’m not reading the book in advance of doing these live shows, so I Apologize if I sometimes stumble over a sentence. It’s kind of as new to me as it is to you if you’ve not heard it before.

[00:55:42] But I really enjoyed reading that. So thank you. Thank you for being here with me on this little journey.

[00:55:49] And hopefully we’re all, all learning together on this one.

[00:55:53] So just checking. The audio looks good.

[00:55:58] So what’s next?

[00:56:01] Ah, yes. So now we’ve been talking about guidance. This question makes more sense. So anon asks, you have previously talked about receiving feedback from our higher self. Please can you confirm whether if we aren’t receiving feedback, does that mean we are listening or that no feedback is incoming? Or perhaps a mixture of both? Many thanks.

[00:56:24] So I.

[00:56:27] Most of you probably are aware I host some online group chats and things like this to support people who are kind of serious seekers of truth and serious about their spirituality. And it’s a real pleasure to be involved in that. And this kind of came out of one of those meetups.

[00:56:46] And I just need to explain what we’re referring to here as feedback. I have touched on it in previous episodes and in the books, but what it’s referring to is that when you get higher guidance from your higher self. So when I say guidance, I mean proper guidance from your higher self. As I’ve just described reading that book, if you, if you receive it and you act on it, great, you’ve got the guidance, you’ve made the right choice, you’ve grown.

[00:57:10] If you’re not receiving the guidance for whatever reason, maybe you know you’re in ego or you’re not not you’re not paying attention or you’re not being present, then what happens is, is that just as I said, they will introduce maybe guidance in a dream to get your attention. They can also give you feedback. And I’ll give you an example.

[00:57:29] If you think about thought, you might stub your toe or bang your head on the kitchen door or something like that. Just drawing from personal experience there.

[00:57:38] And the fascinating thing is when you’ve got greater states of awareness, we talk about things like enlightenment. The feedback comes thick and fast because the higher.

[00:57:52] I don’t mean that in any kind of noble way or class way. I mean that in terms of spiritual vibration. The greater your vibration and the more you have spiritually, the more is expected of you from your higher self. And so you will get feedback very quickly. Whereas the same person who isn’t very spiritual, if they had that thought or did that action, wouldn’t get feedback because there’s more.

[00:58:15] It’s like the Higher your vibration, the more the stone gets polished.

[00:58:21] So nothing gets past your higher self. If you’re thinking wrong, you get feedback.

[00:58:27] And so the feedback can be injury, illness, sorry, injury, dis. Ease, or an accident, or.

[00:58:38] Or even just something subtle like a headache or something like that. There are. There are other causes of these things, and that would fall under the category of negative interference. But generally speaking, your higher self might give you an accident or something just to get your attention.

[00:58:52] And this is what this question is really referring to. It’s saying, well, look, if you’re not getting any such feedback, is it because you’re getting everything right?

[00:59:01] You know, is that why we don’t perceive that we’re getting feedback?

[00:59:06] And I want to kind of really delve into this because there’s a lot that people can misunderstand and trip up on, on this matter. And even for people who’ve been working with me and we’ve been talking about this stuff for many years, I don’t think it hurts to kind of summarize it and go over.

[00:59:25] So here’s the key points I wanted to kind of go over with you on this.

[00:59:32] The first one is you are always being guided. Now, when. When I say that, what I mean is, you know, assuming that you’re watching this show because you’re a good spiritual human being and not. Not because you’re a troll or you want to see what. What you know. Well, if you’re watching it for whatever reason. Great, thanks. Thanks for joining, and I hope you get something positive from it. But what I’m alluding to here is that hopefully the reason why you’re watching this show is because you’re drawn positively to it with a desire to grow in your own spirituality. And you might not understand or agree with everything that I say, but nuggets of truth will always ring true. You know, there’s only one absolute truth, so there can’t be things that are true for one, but not for others. If it’s real truth, it will always ring and resound with truth.

[01:00:18] And so if you are, as I’ve said, a good, positive, spiritual human being seeking to grow, then the good news is you are always being guided by your higher self, which implies that maybe not everyone is always being guided.

[01:00:35] Okay, let me just gather my thoughts.

[01:00:41] In fact, before I do this summary, let me just talk about it.

[01:00:45] It’s probably easier. So, yeah, look, we’re always being guided. That’s the first thing. It’s not that the guidance is switched off, and therefore that’s why you’re not getting any feedback. The potential to get feedback is there, you know, assuming you’re a good, good spiritual person. Right?

[01:00:58] So there is one case, there’s several cases why we might not be getting feedback. The opposite of a good spiritual human being, whatever that would entail, doesn’t get feedback. You have to be good, you have to be spiritual. Okay?

[01:01:14] So if you have embraced darkness or evil or Satanism or demonic practices, or you worship those things, or you have turned your, you know, back on your goodness, then you’re not going to get feedback. Feedback is that is to guide you to God. And God wouldn’t guide something that is against God to God. Okay, so some people might go, well, I never get feedback.

[01:01:42] I think all kinds of horrible things. I never bang my head or stubborn toe. Yeah, because you’re not spiritually aligned. So no energy is going to be wasted on you. Doesn’t mean you couldn’t in the future if you turn things around. But first of all, you’d have to point in the right direction.

[01:01:56] Another situation where a good spiritual person might go, well, hang on a sec, I never get feedback. Does that mean I’m getting everything right? And it might actually be. No, they’ve turn their back on God or Jesus and therefore on their higher self. Because don’t get. The higher self is guided by God, ergo Jesus. And so that would mean if a good person has gone into ego, and I talked about this, don’t fall on your sword in one of the recent episodes. And I’ll put. I think it’s one of the ones I’ve already linked. Might be episode 54, the enemy is at the Door, I think is in the title. But basically you don’t fall because you’re tempted by dark forces. You fall because you go into ego. And so someone who is good but has gone into ego, they will get feedback on the way into ego. But once they have embedded themselves in their ego and they’ve turned their back on Jesus and God and their higher self, they’ll no longer get any feedback because they’re not interested. And therefore it’s like there’s. That you cross a certain point where your higher self goes, if you’re not interested, we’re not interested.

[01:03:07] It’s not that we don’t love you.

[01:03:09] It’s not that we, you know, are just frivolously letting you go. It’s just that we understand what really matters and we’re neutral. We can be that spiritual state because the spirit is involved. And therefore, if this is your choice, you’re exercising your free will. You’ve gone into ego. There’s nothing more we can do for you. You can bring yourself out of it, but you’ve already rejected our guidance and therefore no more energy will be spent. It could just be that you’re generally getting things right, which is what was alluded to in the question. And you’re not tripping up. So if you’re generally getting things right, then as guidance is coming, you get it. You know, you’re not not talking about consciously, but you get it. You go in the right direction and you generally don’t go too. You don’t stray too far towards the edge of the path, in the metaphoric path of the right direction towards God. And therefore, you don’t need to have these moments where it’s like, get back on the path, you know, smack.

[01:04:05] So, yeah, it can just be that you’ve got it right.

[01:04:08] Don’t trip up by being proud, you know, remain humble and make even more effort. Or another possibility is that a person is getting feedback. They just don’t recognize it. And again, in previous episode, I said, look, the first step to growth, if you are getting feedback, is recognizing you’re getting feedback. The next step is understanding what the feedback’s about. And the third and final important step is and changing.

[01:04:37] Right? You get feedback and you go, oh, yeah, I understand that. It’s because I’m angry.

[01:04:42] Well, unless you get rid of the anger, then understanding you’re angry isn’t enough.

[01:04:48] Understanding what you’re doing wrong isn’t the same thing as bringing about real change.

[01:04:55] This is one of the things actually to think about, like when people confess in religion.

[01:05:02] Well, you may have recognized what you’ve done wrong and you may have acknowledged what you’ve done wrong, but have you changed?

[01:05:08] If you haven’t changed, then all you’ve done is got your dirty laundry out. You haven’t actually brought about a change, which means that recognizing the negativity that you’ve done hasn’t translated into a decision to make a positive change. So you’re still just the negative person that did those negative things in those situations.

[01:05:32] So the three, three. The third step is important. You must bring about change in yourself.

[01:05:39] Okay, so as you can see, it’s a bit more.

[01:05:43] Use this word again, because we’ve used a few times, but it’s a bit more nuanced.

[01:05:48] It doesn’t mean. So it doesn’t just mean that we’re listening.

[01:05:52] There’s a number of scenarios, and the key word I would say is humility.

[01:06:00] Because, look, if you’re getting it wrong and you’re slipping in the wrong direction, it’s ego. And the number one antidote to ego is humility.

[01:06:07] So if in doubt, humble it out.

[01:06:13] Okay, so I want to share some key take homes from this last bit, which kind of dovetails into what we did before the book. And also some of the stuff that came up in the book and covers some of the stuff that kind of reiterates some of the things we covered in a previous show. So, yes, you are always being guided, assuming with all the caveats. If you’re a good spiritual human being, the unit of spiritual currency is.

[01:06:40] Drumroll.

[01:06:41] We’ve talked about it in the book. I’m going to give you a moment. If you’re listening on the podcast or right now, if you’re with me right now in the live show.

[01:06:50] What’s the unit of spiritual currency?

[01:06:53] It’s choice. Remember what I said. No matter how trivial or big, when there’s a choice, then your spirit is giving you the right thing, the right answer. And the rest of you that might move you into ego is giving you the wrong answer. So the unit of spiritual currency is choice.

[01:07:12] How do you spend it?

[01:07:15] And I talked about doing the work well. So doing the work is.

[01:07:19] Say you’ve just stubbed your toe. Doing the work is. Okay, I stubbed my toe. What does toe represent?

[01:07:26] Because it’s different from bashing my elbow. If I’d bashed my elbow, that would mean something different.

[01:07:31] So to me, what does bashing my toe mean? And it was left toe or right toe. What did I hit it on? Okay, and there’s a great book called you’d Can Heal youl Life by, I believe it’s Louise Hayes, and she talks about what different parts of your body and different diseases mean. And I’m not saying it’s 100% accurate, but it’s pretty good.

[01:07:55] And that’s a good starting point. If this is a bit of a new concept to you, your body speaks your truth. So when you bang a part of it, bash a part of it, part of it hurts or part of it has a disease, what is it telling you? I’ve got earache. Okay, so what is it you don’t want to listen? I’ve got throat ache. Okay, so what is it you’re not speaking? Or what is it you’re finding hard to swallow?

[01:08:16] I’ve got indigestion.

[01:08:18] What bit of information are you struggling to digest?

[01:08:21] Your body is literally speaking your truth.

[01:08:25] I’m Bleeding. So the blood is leaving your body. So the joy, because it spreads from the heart is leaving your body. Your body is telling you what you need to know by all these, all these problems. If there are problems, if there aren’t, great, as long as it’s great for the right reasons. Okay? So doing the work is the decision to go, okay, I’m going to stop, I’m going to become present. Something’s just happened, I want to understand it now. Here’s the trap, okay? Don’t fall into this trap. Don’t get too intellectual, don’t analyze it to death.

[01:09:05] Go, okay, I’ve got a headache, I’ve got earache, I’ve got a sore throat. Whatever it is, allow your higher self to tell you what it means. They’re desperate for you to understand. So if you go, okay, I’m going to become still or I’m going to become humble and we’re going to apologize. First things, sorry, higher self. If that was you just getting my attention, I’m sorry that you needed to do that. I’m here now. What is it you want me to understand? And the answer might not come straight away. You might just understand later. Or boom, you suddenly have this inspiration, this inner tuition intuition, okay, but you get the point, do the work, put have set the intention, set your course to do step one, two and three. And then once you get the understanding or you think you’ve got the understanding, then bring about the change. So that’s what doing the work means.

[01:09:59] So when you’re doing the work, you know, you might go, oh yeah, I’ve got this pain in my chest. Okay, so you start going, well, is it because I’m angry at this person at work?

[01:10:11] Is it because I’m frustrated about this situation in my life? Is it because someone’s, that person’s picking on me and I’m not standing up for myself?

[01:10:22] Well, here’s the thing.

[01:10:25] It might be one of those three things, it might not be, but you’ve just identified three things in your life that you probably need to work on.

[01:10:34] So when you’re doing work and you identify a list of things, Great, Fantastic. In that moment of introspection, you’ve now got things that you already know could be problems that might bring about feedback. So don’t wait till they bring about feedback, deal with them. Which is why a pen and paper is really good.

[01:10:59] Not a computer, not your phone. Sit down with good old fashioned pen and paper and just have a moment with yourself and say, okay, what could this feedback be about? And write it all down, and you might get it, you might not. But if you deal with all those other things, you’ve just, metaphorically speaking, dodged a lot of bullets that you would probably have to deal with down the line if they kept on coming up.

[01:11:22] So, you know, when it turns out that in a moment of introspection, you realize that there’s a number of potential things, great, deal with them. And if you. If one of them is the problem, then you’ve nailed it. If it’s not, you’re still closer to God and a better person because of it. And by the way, it could be a belief. It’s not always an event or a situation. It could just be a belief that you’ve got beliefs within you can be really toxic, even if they seem good. So you.

[01:11:53] Takes a lot of humility and, and, and I acknowledge a lot, like talking to you, it takes a lot of courage for you to sit with yourself in humility and say, okay, what do I need to look at?

[01:12:08] What. What thoughts, beliefs, ideas, attitudes do I hold that are holding me back?

[01:12:16] Help me, guide me.

[01:12:19] Wow.

[01:12:20] And when you get it right and when you. When the penny drops, as someone said earlier, they have an aha moment. When the penny drops, the problem will go away quickly. And that is your feedback. That’s your positive feedback. So your. Your higher self gave you feedback. And then the positive feedback is that disease, injury, the pain from stubbing your toe will go away very quickly once you’ve made the connection and resolved to change. Okay? So it’s very quick. That’s how you know you’ve got it, because it will.

[01:12:55] The disease or whatever it is will go away very quickly.

[01:12:59] So are these things a chink in your armor?

[01:13:02] And the reason I said that is the enemy. The enemy is at the door.

[01:13:10] When you entertain the negative thoughts or the negative dreams or the suggestions or whatever it is of the enemy, whatever that is to you, then you let them in.

[01:13:24] And so these things that you might have identified in your list of potential causes could be chinks in your armor.

[01:13:34] Now, serious moment here.

[01:13:37] This is all serious, but sometimes I want to really emphasize things.

[01:13:43] The enemy is weak.

[01:13:47] You are the powerful one. You are the strong one.

[01:13:51] In a previous episode, I explained how the influence that external forces can have on you is about one quarter what you have on yourself. And that’s at their strongest, when you’re at your weakest, you’re four times more powerful than them.

[01:14:06] Okay, so the enemy is weak. When you fall, you fall because they may have suggested bad Ideas, but you fall because you accepted the bad ideas. You fall on your own sword.

[01:14:20] So do not leave these things unresolved. They are chinks in your armor.

[01:14:29] And by that I mean can contemplate the root cause. So going Back to episode 54, there’s that wonderful slide in the podcast write up.

[01:14:40] It comes down to, well, I’ll give you a moment before I tell you, but what is the root cause of the chinks in your arm? Or what is the root cause of all of the potential causes you have for why you need feedback.

[01:14:55] The unit of spiritual currency is choice. So what’s the root cause of the problems?

[01:15:03] Ego.

[01:15:06] Fundamentally, your spirit is trying to take you closer to God. And ego are those thoughts, ideas, attitudes and habits that take you or resist that and take you away from God.

[01:15:20] It’s all simple really, guys, and we’re all in this together. I’m not, hopefully not coming across as patronizing. I’m talking from painful personal experience.

[01:15:31] You can do this. Trust me, if I can do it, you can do it. Okay. But what I’m trying to do here is lay out the stepping stones.

[01:15:43] Okay, so that kind of brings us to the end of this episode. And I know it’s gone a little bit past 10 o’ clock, but that’s okay. It’s.

[01:15:57] It’s my show. I’m allowed to take as long as I want.

[01:16:02] A few episodes back, I did something about Pope Francis, and we’ve now got a new Pope. And I didn’t know his name a moment ago, but it’s escaped me, but he’s calling himself Pope Leo.

[01:16:18] And I said at the start, I’ve got stuff coming down and I don’t know where I’m gonna go with it, but I feel like there’s a certain pressure or importance that I look at this. So I’m going to sign off in a moment and I’m going to look at it, and if I am guided to, then I’m going to jump back on here and do an impromptu live show. And I appreciate it. Slate. So maybe you won’t be able to join me, but I want to, if it’s the right thing to do. So if I don’t, then I did the work and it wasn’t necessary. But if I do the work and it’s worthwhile while, and there’s positive reasons from a spiritual point of view, then I may well be back on here in a little while.

[01:17:00] Something to look forward to.

[01:17:02] But for now, I just wanted to say, look, it’s been a real Pleasure.

[01:17:07] This is your show. When, when we got that feedback at the start and someone was saying how much the show is helping them. There is no live show without you and the support that you give me and the motivation and the questions and all of these things.

[01:17:21] And so thank you and genuinely, sincerely, God bless you. Keep making good choices because now we understand choices are spiritual currency.

[01:17:34] And on that note, good night.

[01:17:40] Thank you for being awesome and joining me for this episode. I’m just truly grateful as a spiritual person. I hope it’s inspiring to realize that you’re not alone and that more and more like minded people, just like you are enjoying this live show. This means that you’re part of a growing and awakening community. And together we’re all finding the way back to God. Going deeper than just ideas and beliefs to experience firsthand real spiritual awakening. This is a journey of the heart, not the head.

[01:18:15] So take this moment to just become a little bit stiller, more present, more neutral.

[01:18:25] Now notice what you notice when I ask you this question.

[01:18:31] What in this particular episode has been most useful.

[01:18:39] Now, who in your life at this particular time would benefit the most from knowing this too?

[01:18:45] Maybe it’s one person, or maybe it’s more than one, but because sharing is caring, it’s really nice to know that you can actually share this show with them and therefore help them.

[01:18:55] This show is completely free to enjoy and benefit from. Now. Speaking of free stuff, if you’d like other useful, helpful spiritual resources, then head on over to the waybackgroup.org there you’ll find all kinds of free resources, articles, eBooks, MP3s, guided meditations, and a whole load of other stuff that’s completely free and waiting for you to discover it. So that’s all for this episode, but your journey and my journey continues.

[01:19:28] And so I look forward to having you join me next week for more revelation and exploration into spiritual things. And together, let’s make more sense of life, not just for us, but for our loved ones so that we can help them too.

[01:19:45] So remember to subscribe and hit the notifications so that you don’t miss out.

[01:19:50] Who knows what we’ll be discovering discussing next week and the next question or topic might even be yours. Perhaps there’s a reason you’ve been guided to this show.

[01:19:59] So God bless you. And remember, real change starts when we put into practice what we’re learning so that we go from thinking and doing to finally being.

[01:20:17] So take what you’ve learned today and keep on being the best version of you.

[01:20:23] God bless.
