Ep.031 Kamala Harris & Lucifer! Sword of Shannara. Love & healing. Compassion v Wisdom: Live Show Discussing Spirituality w/ Mark Zaretti

Episode transcript:

[00:00:07] Welcome to The Way Back Live Show podcast “Discussing Spirituality” with me, your
host, Mark Zaretti. Each week I answer your questions, and though I may not have all the
answers, together we’ll make more sense of life one episode at a time.
[00:00:21] What you’re about to hear is the audio from the live show.
[00:00:26] Visit thewaybackgroup.org/live-show/ to find out more.
[00:00:32] And we are live. It is the 10 October 2024. And I am your host, Mark Zaretti. And this
is discussing spirituality with myself, Mark Zaretti. Thank you all for joining us. There’s a few of
you who’ve already said hello in the chat, so it’s great to have you live and joining us from
wherever you are. So we’ve got people from Kent. Kent, and they’re the only two places that are
named, but it’s good to have you wherever you’re joining from. And obviously, I’m in Kent as
well. So chances are these are people that know me. But wherever you’re tuning in from and
whether you’re listening live, watching live or catching up on the podcast, it’s great to have you
with us. And I really value you giving this show your time. Now, this show is all about you. And
as ever this week, we’ve got questions that I’ve collected, some of them just in the last week,
some of them a few weeks back.
[00:01:27] And the idea of this show is that we go through your questions. So let’s just get
straight into it.
[00:01:34] As you can see, it’s episode 31. And the artwork for this week is a book. It’s actually
the front cover. Well, it’s the, it’s a photo of a book, the Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks. And
it’s actually a photo of my copy of this book, which I’ve had for many, many years. And this will
become relevant later in the show. I have to apologize, by the way, straight away, because I’m a
little bit hoarse and a little bit tired because, as you know, there’s a lot going on in the world. And
I first, I think I’ve talked about this in previous podcasts going back years, how there’s a certain
amount of work that I do and that I encourage other people to do in terms of healing the planet
and helping the planet. And obviously with the hurricanes and other things going on, some of
which shouldn’t really be happening, then let’s just say I was up very late doing a lot of work last
night to do what I can from an energy and a spiritual point of view.
[00:02:33] And so I do apologize if my voice is a little bit strained today. I’m just feeling effects. It
wasn’t just last night. I’ve been had quite a few long days of doing this work and I tell you, it’s a
real pleasure. So even though sometimes you, you know, it gets to you, never going to stop
doing it, absolutely love doing what we do. So let’s go straight into looking at the questions that
you guys have sent. And as ever, what I’m going to do is look at a summary of what we’ve got to
look forward to in tonight’s show. So is love relevant to healing? Next question is feng shui
dragons and poison arrows? Then we go on to, can there be too much compassion?
[00:03:19] Then, as ever, if we have time, we’ll be looking at the sword of Shannara. And the last
one is actually a question I got from someone on Twitter or X, which is along the lines of, is the
fate of man written in the stars? So some really, really interesting stuff to get stuck into. And the
time to get stuck into it is right now.
[00:03:44] So the first question we’ve got from someone who wishes to remain anonymous, and
I totally respect that. So they ask the question, does healing work better if we first love that part,
of that part that needs healing? For example, if my knee needed healing, would the healing I
receive be more effective if I filled my knee with love first? Thank you.
[00:04:09] So the question, it makes a lot of sense. You know, if you’ve got whatever it is,
whether it’s from injury or disease, can you intentionally love yourself or love that part of you and
then therefore improve your chances of being healed? I think that’s a very wise question
because let’s face it, if we need healing, that means we’re not in a great way. And so anyone
who needs healing, hopefully would want to improve their chances of being healed. And I’m not
going to filter or differentiate between healing yourself or be, or receiving healing from others.
[00:04:49] I think it applies to both. So when I looked into this, well, first thing is, the answer is
yes and no. And the reason is that if you don’t already love all of yourself, then, in other words, if
there’s a part of you that you reject, you know, be it your knee or your ankle or whatever, and it
none of us sits there and goes, oh, look, I reject my leg or I reject my skin or no one’s sitting
there doing that. But what they might be doing is having a negative image of themselves or
disliking part of themselves. For example, you know, in the name of insecurities, vanity,
whatever. People go, oh, I wish my legs weren’t so skinny, or I wish. I wish my belly wasn’t so
big, or I wish my something was. Whatever, you know, fill in the blanks. You get the idea. I don’t
like my hair. It’s curly. I don’t like my hair. It’s straight. I don’t like this about me. I don’t like that
about me. And let’s face it, modern culture and modern media really do kind of promote that idea
of betterment of self through improvement of aesthetics. And it’s utter, utter rubbish, you know,
but it’s very real. And if in the absence of, say, a bit of spiritual or more spiritual depth, then a lot
of people are surface based. And so they may well be hating on themselves or hating on a part
of themselves without ever really thinking of it that way. And so if that is the case, then
effectively what they’re doing is they’re rejecting the notion of love for that part of themselves.
And probably wrapped in that is also for the whole of themselves.
[00:06:38] And if it comes down to I don’t feel worthy, then that often translates energetically into
them rejecting, healing.
[00:06:50] And I have encountered this a number of times. So I don’t want to be too specific
about specific cases. But fundamentally, if there’s any kind of negative self appraisal going on,
then that is, for want of a better word, putting blocks in the way.
[00:07:06] So the gold standard would be that you do love yourself, all of yourself. But I don’t
mean in a narcissistic way. I don’t mean in a vain way. I mean in an accepting, holistic way,
spiritual way, if you like. And so if you are of that frame where I already love my knee, I already
love my back, I already love whatever it is that needs healing, then there isn’t much to gain from
deliberately loving that part of you, because you already do. You already love all of you.
[00:07:37] So the only gain would be if you’re rejecting yourself, and therefore you have to make
a conscious effort to overcome that and love yourself first. And so that’s really for you, or
whoever it is that you’re working with who needs your help for them to understand.
[00:07:56] Are you putting blocks in a way because you can’t love yourself, because you reject
yourself, because you. You judge yourself. And this goes right back to the six virtues.
[00:08:05] And I’ll just put links to stuff because I’ve mentioned them so many times in previous
episodes, but the six virtues, one of them is non judgment. And that applies to self, to others,
and ultimately to the biggest picture, to God, the source, whatever you want to call it. And so the
question is, you know, should we love us or that part of us first, that we want to heal?
[00:08:28] And so, yes, if you’re blocking it, but ideally, no, because you already would love
yourself and accept yourself, and therefore there wouldn’t be any barriers. But then it raises an
interesting question. So obviously, love is greater than healing. Well, it’s not obvious, but
necessarily. But from what I’ve learned over the many years, it is to me, and so I share that with
you, that love is the greater terms of energy.
[00:08:56] So what is healing?
[00:08:58] Well, healing, it turns out in very, very simplistic terms, is loving or love with intention.
So in other words, another way of understanding is that there cannot be healing if there isn’t
love. You can’t heal something you don’t love. So people heal generally. Typically, if you think
about energy healing, then you have to be very neutral and non judgmental, and there has to be
love involved.
[00:09:28] And therefore, we have more of a desire to heal those that we love. And hopefully that
would include self as well as others. Now, if there’s no love, there’s no healing. And that’s quite
interesting.
[00:09:43] So when you love someone, it is a bit like a panacea.
[00:09:48] It does good.
[00:09:50] When you heal someone, you’re effectively loving them with an intention. That energy
becomes a healing force. Okay? Now, it’s strictly not true if you want to get really into the
technicalities of it, that healing energy isn’t exactly love, but they’re so close and entwined, and
there is a relationship between them that the simple way of understanding is that to be healing
yourself for others is very similar to love, but it’s done with in a loving way, with intention.
Whereas love doesn’t have an intention, it just is a goodness that you impart upon yourself or
others or that you accept. And that’s the other side of it. If you are the recipient of healing and
you don’t love yourself, then you will not accept the healing, you will reject it. And that normally
comes down to limiting thoughts about I’m not worthy or I don’t deserve this, or I need to be
punished because I did wrong in the past, and therefore I deserve this disease. And all of those
kinds of thoughts that people do genuinely have get in the way of just simply accepting that
you’re worthy of being loved and therefore worthy of healing. So going back to the question, just
to make sure that I’m staying on track here because, as you know, this show isn’t scripted, so
there is a good chance that, I drift, does healing work better if we love that part that needs
healing? So, as I said, we should really already love ourselves. That’s the potential.
[00:11:21] But if we recognize that we don’t, then, yes, certainly accept love yourself, because
that’s a form of accepting, and that brings down any barriers to allowing the healing to happen.
[00:11:32] But if you’re already in a good place in terms of self love from a spiritual point of view,
not from a narcissistic point of view, then really just focus on the healing in a loving way. So,
great question.
[00:11:46] And I love this kind of question because it shows that people are thinking a bit deeper.
You know, there’s all the bumper stickers about. You know, it’s all about love and things like that
that people say, and it’s true, but it’s almost like there’s a lot of spiritual bumper stickers where
people say things on the surface that they don’t even really contemplate or understand. So it’s
good to start to ask these questions where we try and better understand things. What I hope,
though, and this would be my. My hope for all of us, is that we never get lost in the reeds. We
never replace the state of being with the desire for information. So as we explore these things
and try and understand them. Head pointing at my head, that we must always remember to bring
it back to the heart.
[00:12:37] And so what I mean is, it is about love, but we need to be loving, not just
understanding it. Okay, so let’s move on to the second question.
[00:12:52] Okay, so I wonder if Panther nine. Yeah, Panther nine is with us in the chat. So this is
a question from Panther nine. So welcome, Panther nine. I see that you just made it in a bit late,
but better late than never. It’s lovely to have you with us. So here’s your question.
[00:13:12] Hi. Everyone was watching the show about dragons last week. Reminded me of
dragons in feng shui. Even though I read up about feng shui, I still don’t practice it, but it does
make some sense, especially poison arrows. And then the kind of the question is, does feng
shui have a major bearing on our lives, like energies or things like poison arrows?
[00:13:37] And then Panthenine adds, some folks may not be aware of the poison arrows.
[00:13:44] I’ll explain what poison arrows are in a moment, but they go on. And I’ve removed the
reference to who this was specifically, but let’s just say person x moved into a house with a road
running straight to her house. That’s an example of a poison arrow. Her health is suffering more
and. But then they add, it could be the boyfriend that moved in. Lol. And thanks, Mark. So, a bit
of context here, and I’ll treat that as a separate question, really, about that other person’s well
being and whether it’s down to feng shui or whether it’s down to, as they say, it could be the
boyfriend that moved in, though I think they said that tongue in cheek. I’ll take everything as a
question.
[00:14:22] So, in terms of feng shui, generally speaking, if you’ve seen the film crouching tiger,
hidden dragon, that’s actually taken from feng shui or that kind of philosophy. So there’s a tiger in
feng shui and there’s a dragon in feng shui. There’s also other characters and other symbols, but
they’re two of the main ones. And the dragon represents yang energy, so masculine, very active,
very powerful, and it’s typically placed on one side of the property.
[00:14:58] Although reading up on dragons, then you can symbolically what feng shui says is
they’re so powerful, put them anywhere in your house and it’ll bring good luck, but just don’t put
them on the floor, because then you’d be showing disrespect to the dragons.
[00:15:13] So the question really is, look, I’d paraphrase and say, look, is this real? Is there
something going on here? Or is it just superstition and self fulfilling prophecy? Because people
believe in it, so it makes it real. Okay.
[00:15:29] I don’t know if you remember, in a previous week, I talked about geometries and, like,
the shapes of salt crystals, different types of salt, different types of shape, and therefore different
kinds of energy and different kinds of properties. And I use the analogy of lots of pieces of Lego
on the floor. Would you rather walk over barefoot? Would you rather walk over sharp, pointy,
triangular pieces or round, smooth pieces? And obviously the answer is smooth pieces. So
geometry has qualities. You could say that. Like a pyramid or a tetrad. Tetrahedron, I think it’s
called tetrahedron would be sharp and pointy and spiky energy, whereas a smooth sphere would
be rounded, balanced energy, etcetera, you get the idea.
[00:16:09] So with feng shui and a poisoned arrow, just to give you an idea. So if you imagine
there’s a long straight, and then it comes to a T junction, the house opposite. So in other words,
if the cars were coming down that road and they didn’t, their brakes failed and they didn’t stop at
the t junction and then they didn’t swerve left or right, but they went straight. They’d crash into a
house. So the poison arrow is all the energy and movement of the traffic going down that road.
Although the cars turn left or right at the T junction, the energy of those vehicles carries on in a
straight line into those houses that are directly opposite what’s called a poison arrow. Another
good example is the long driveway leading to the front door of Buckingham palace is a poison
arrow. But halfway along that driveway, they’ve got a big round fountain which disperses the
energy away from the front door. And so in feng shui, they’ll talk about things like putting a
curved. A convex mirror on the front door or above the front door, so that if there is poison arrow
energy coming at the front door, it gets dispersed in all directions. Now, I actually studied a little
bit of feng shui back in the day.
[00:17:28] I lived in a. I think it was number 103 on Hope Road in.
[00:17:33] Where was it? Sale, I believe, opposite the tram line. And the woman downstairs,
lovely lady called Linda. And the guy upstairs in the next flat to mine was a guy called David, and
they both meditated as well, which is how I found out about that flat. And David was a
professional feng shui guy. Now, I’m going to share a little story, because I just think it’s
fascinating. So, years ago, I was. Came back from work and we all got on, so if someone’s door
is open, you just wandered in hope, in the hope of getting a cup of tea or coffee.
[00:18:06] And so I walked past Linda’s door and it was open. So I just popped my head in and
Dave was there. David. And so I walked in and there was lots of paper out and charts and stuff.
[00:18:17] And as I walked in, I saw a flash, like an image of a yellow. Sorry, a red triangle on the
back wall.
[00:18:27] And I said, oh, that’s interesting.
[00:18:31] And David said, what? Well. And I said, I just saw something. He said, what did you
see? And I said, I just saw like a. Like an emergency triangle up in the corner of the room over
there in. On that wall. And he went. And he looks at his charts and he looked up at me and went,
well, yeah. I’ve just literally calculated that that’s where the element fire needs to be placed in
this.
[00:18:53] In this flat to have a beneficial outcome. And obviously, a red triangle is actually the.
The colour and geometry for fire. And so I’d psychically, if you like, seen what was needed.
[00:19:06] Yeah. Or print as Panther nine saying. Or you can put a lamp or a light on or
something like that, or light a candle.
[00:19:16] And so the point is that it was real, and I picked up on it. And there’s other examples.
So, for example, if you’ve got, like, a sharp edged bookshelf, it sends lines of energy out into the
room. If you’ve got beams, you know, just to quote what Panther’s saying reminded me. So if
you’ve got beams, like an old, you know, country house with big beams running across the
ceiling, they create oppressive energy beneath them. So all of these different energies, not just
the arrows, but all kinds of energies, have an effect. And another good example is if you’ve got a
very tall skyrise building and the buildings around it are all quite small, then it sends out shock
waves of, like, depressing energy. And the nice way of thinking about it is, in nature, if you’re on
the flat plains, it doesn’t suddenly go mountain. It goes hills, smaller mountains, bigger
mountains. The things build up gradually, and then they taper off slowly. So that’s harmony. But
when you have a very vertical, tall building, and then, like, nothing really around it but smaller
buildings, then it’s a dominant shape, and it’s in, and it presses the neighborhood and the
environment around it because it’s not a natural flow.
[00:20:36] So panthenine is now listing everything they can remember from feng shui by looksfit.
So fish in a room, lamps, etcetera.
[00:20:49] Yeah, I mean, if you want to go into it, you can look into, obviously, feel free to google
feng shui. And, you know, for a few years, I was interested in it. But here’s the point. Here’s what
I wanted to bring it back to. So the question is, does feng shui have a major bearing on our lives,
like energies or things like poison arrows? So when it comes to the energies, it’s not that feng
shui invented these energies. These energies already existed. What feng shui did was codified
their understanding over a period of time. So let’s just say that people, either intuitively,
observationally, or by gaining high knowledge in some way, started to learn that it’s not good to
build your house in a direct straight line from a busy road or a busy stream or something like
that. And they made all these observations, and then they started to refine it. So that follows
simple geometry and the natural flow of energies. Okay?
[00:21:51] You know, like having a fast running river running under your house, where water has
a lot of emotions in it. It mops up the emotions of everything that it passes through. So if it runs
under your house or alongside your house, then there’s always going to be fast moving emotions
and it’s going to have quite a negative effect on you, which does raise the question about
whether or not it’s wise to live in a canal barge and a boat where you’re lying at a level where
you’re actually at the water’s level or below it, which is, you know, and I’ve spent time on a canal
barge, and in another life, I might have a yacht. It would be a dream of mine. So I’m not saying
you shouldn’t, but I’d say it’s certainly a consideration. So the feng shui energies do have an
effect. Now, here’s the flip side.
[00:22:41] Then you get into the stuff about dragons and tigers and all of these other things, and
this isn’t about the energy of things. This is going back to what we discussed in a previous
episode, the more nefarious sides. And again, at the risk of sounding like a scratch record, I did
talk about this in the Stonehenge documentary, where I talked about races that have been
interfering for a very long time and how that there’s stellar glyphs, so they. They’ve basically got
their archetypes mapped out in the stars. So you’ve got Lacerta, which is. Or Lacerta, which is
the. The reptile, and you’ve got the serpents and the bears and, you know, Ursa and all of these
different races. So in China, in China, for example, where feng shui is quite dominant, they are
aligned with the dragon iconography. And we talked about this in a previous episode. So for
them, dragons are seen as positive because let’s keep it really simple. But we talked about there
beings on high dimensions. So if these beings identified as, or associated themselves as
something like a dragon, and then you’re down here on, you know, on the physical plane and
you’re having a bit of hassle from a neighbor down the road, then you would want to call on what
you perceive to be your protector or your God or whatever these dragon beings on higher
dimensions to protect you. And how would you do that? Well, you would get something that
symbolises a dragon and you put it in your house in a prominent position and you pay it a lot of
respect and light incense sticks or put it on a plinth so it’s elevated and you maybe have the
thoughts, this dragon will protect me. And then because you’ve got those thoughts aligned with
dragon and then you’ve got the iconography etcetera then it attracts the attention of things. And
so if you’re sitting there going, I’m having problems with my neighbors, they’re, I don’t know,
bullying me, picking on me, whatever it is, I don’t want that hassle, can the dragon protect me?
Then the beings on higher dimensions will go, okay, well, since they’re basically worshipping us,
we all deal with their neighbours, whether that’s putting thoughts into their neighbors to leave
them alone or doing something more nefarious, more negative. But I can tell you now, it’s not
good. Now, over a long period of time, this law, if you like, well, if you, if you appease the
dragons, the dragon beings, you’ll get protection. If you worship the tigers, you’ll get wealth or
prosperity. It’s just literally down here, people who don’t, or maybe they originally understood, but
down here nowadays, people that don’t necessarily understand that these archetypes, these
kinds of beings, I’m not saying they’re tigers up there or anything like that, but what I’m saying is
fundamentally they identify, you know, they say, well, we’re the tiger race or we’re the dragon
race or we’re the snake race or whatever it is, you know, and just look back at all ancient
religious texts and all kinds of things. There’s lots of references to this kind of stuff. Anyway,
you’re basically playing around with iconography, false idols and stuff to gain favor from negative
forces on higher dimensions. And so all of the, you know, put this by your door and do this.
Unless it’s basic geometry, like put a mirror here to dispel the energy or put a plant here, then
everything else that’s based on iconography is actually not really feng shui in a sense that it’s
natural energy flowing. It’s more about basically false God worship for want of a better way of
putting it.
[00:26:43] So, yeah, we do have to, we have the opportunity to be a bit more sensitive about the
flows of energy and what they might do and just think about things in very simple terms. Fast
energy, like a busy road. Do you really want to live next to a busy road? Peaceful energy,
harmony and balance versus too much yang or too much yin. So living in a busy city is a
different preposition from, say, living in the countryside, etcetera. So from that point of view,
yeah, it does have an effect now when it came to this particular person.
[00:27:13] And I apologize because, look, I know we could go, obviously, feng shui is a massive
topic, so we could go a lot more into it. And if you want we will do in other episodes, ask the
questions. But for now, I want to kind of wrap up here so we can get on to the next question. But
I think out of a kindness, I would say, look, having looked into it, is it because this person’s
moved into a house with arrows running straight out their front door energetically, and that’s
going to have a negative effect on the situation, but that isn’t what has caused the health
suffering. The health suffering is because there’s a very large disparity between this person and
their boyfriends. And I don’t know, I’ve never met with them. I was just looking into their energies
and the boyfriends, let’s just say one’s more good, more spiritual, one’s very much in the other
direction. And so there’s a lot of disharmony. And on a kind of like a subtler level, the person
who’s suffering, part of their suffering, is that they’re ignoring the disharmony. They’re not.
[00:28:15] They’re not recognizing. Not to recognise the truth of the situation. So they’re not
putting themselves first and they’re allowing their energy to be dropped and therefore it’s causing
dis ease, a lack of ease in the themselves that’s causing all kinds of health manifestations. So,
sadly, there isn’t a positive resolution for that one other than change.
[00:28:35] But yeah, I wish them well and I hope that in some way this might reach them and
help them. But it’s not for me to say what they should or shouldn’t do, but rather to start to wake
up to the situation and to understand these things. Like, people have different energies, and if
you’re a very high energy person or even just a neutral person, and you’re paired up with
someone that you may find attractive, but they’re a much lower form of energy, then it’s never
going to, you know, the lower energy always wins because it’s heavier, it always brings the
higher person down. It’s never really that the higher person can bring the lower person up unless
the lower person is close and has a lot of potential. So if someone has a lot of spiritual potential
and they’re with a spiritual person, then providing a spiritual person is. Is very neutral and
nurturing, they will bring that person up. But if someone’s nature is, say, very negative and your
nature is very positive, you will never bring them up, they will simply bring you down. And again,
we’ve talked about this in the past and I think the whole thing about relationships is fascinating
and maybe we’ll look more into that. It’s your show, guys. So it’s about the questions that you
ask. But for now, let’s dive in and have a look at the next question.
[00:29:53] So Daisy asks. And. Hi, Daisy. Thank you for asking.
[00:29:59] So, can you have too much compassion?
[00:30:03] If you temper it with wisdom and restrict it, then how can you be unconditionally
loving?
[00:30:10] Okay. And then another kind of, another part to the question is, if it flows naturally,
how do you change that? And are there instances you should. Thank you and God bless. Well,
thank you for asking. So I kind of understand the question.
[00:30:28] I kind of understand the question, but I also see that there’s confusion here. And so I
think the best thing to do is to clarify things. Now, there’s three points that have been or three
components that are being raised. So I’m gonna hang on a sec.
[00:30:45] Normally allows me to okay this compassion.
[00:30:50] Okay.
[00:30:52] There’s wisdom and there’s unconditionally loving. And the reason why there’s
confusion is there’s a natural and it’s understandable, but there’s an assumption being made that
they’re all directly linked and they’re not. And that’s where the confusion is coming in. You see,
generally speaking, if you have a lot of compassion, then you’ll be quite loving, but it doesn’t
necessarily follow.
[00:31:18] Generally speaking, you would be. But you can be very loving and yet not very high in
compassion. You can be very high in compassion, but not very loving.
[00:31:29] You know, so compassion, keeping things really simple. Compassion isn’t something
you choose. It’s something you have so true compassion, because it says here, how do you
change that? And can you restrict it with wisdom? Well, no, you can’t restrict compassion.
Compassion is reactive. When something happens or when you observe something, you
automatically have compassion. If you’re compassionate, the depth of your compassion will be
very much dependent on how well formed your quality, your kind of soul is in your spirit and stuff.
So there’s no judgment here. But some people will be more compassionate than others. Some
people are learning about compassion, you know, so it’s still, you know, it’s never a job done. So
it’s not like, and they’ve ticked the box and they are now 100% compassionate. But some people
are further along than others. But wherever you are, when a situation happens that could evoke
compassion, if you’re present rather than distracted or in your ego or in your habits, if you’re
present, you don’t go, oh, I will now be compassionate. You are compassionate. It just happens.
So there is no restricting it or tempering it.
[00:32:44] What then happens is that it filters down to an emotive force. So from the
compassion, you may then have a desire to act.
[00:32:56] And that’s where wisdom comes in, because sometimes it’s nothing wise to act. And I
think the best way of understanding things is always to take it back to absolutes. So if we
consider, well, what is the absolute epitome of compassion, it would have to be God or the
source or Jesus, you know, so now if we just choose one. So let’s just say the source, God.
Right?
[00:33:22] Now, if you’re having a bad day or you’re having a bad time, do you think I that as a
good person that God would have compassion for you or Jesus would have compassion? Yes,
obviously.
[00:33:35] Does that mean that they have to act or that they act at all? No, but. So in the
neutrality of observance, there can be profound depths of compassion. But it doesn’t mean that
it elicits action. Compassion is compassion.
[00:33:56] Now, unconditional love is an ideal that very, very few, very, very, very few people will
ever truly love unconditionally. And if you did, you would be so neutral that there wouldn’t be a
need to react because there would be total acceptance of the person, of the status of the
situation, etcetera. So again, unconditional loving I doesn’t necessitate action.
[00:34:24] Action is a choice.
[00:34:28] And wisdom is the filter that, if you like, that, when applied, will help you determine
the right course of action.
[00:34:41] And, you know, the problem is compassion with no wisdom normally leads to loss of
energy.
[00:34:49] Because if you’re compassionate, you’ll see suffering, you’ll see trouble all around you
and you’ll just spread yourself too thin and then you’ll. Or you’ll get yourself into sticky situations.
[00:35:00] And I talked. There was a lovely impromptu podcast I did a few years ago with a guy
called Simeon who was visiting from America. He’s someone I’ve known and worked with and
taught for many, many years. And this topic came up about, you know, a scenario where you
might see someone getting a bit angry or. And your natural instinct is maybe to step in to protect
someone or. But wisdom dictates no, actually, maybe you just don’t do anything. You might have
compassion for the people involved, but maybe they just need to work it out. Maybe this is their
seminal moment where they’re on the cusp of a choice, where they can finally say, no, I’m not
going to fall for ego and go more into anger, I’m going to step back or the other person is going
to go, no, I’m not going to be bullied. I’m going to stand up for myself and show courage. Who
are we to step in and deny one or two people or more an opportunity of growth?
[00:35:58] So wisdom is going, ah, no, this isn’t a situation to step in on. No, this isn’t me rushing
in and acting is not necessarily going to have a good outcome for me or them or anyone. Or
wisdom might be okay. My heart says, oh, I want to help, but maybe I should just be neutral and
still and see if, oh, hang on a sec, I’m actually getting a sense of guidance, like, get away. Stay
away from this situation. This isn’t your problem, or those people will never change. Don’t waste
your energy. And that goes back to the idea, you know, biblical parable of don’t cast pearls
before swine, you know? So going back to the actual question of, can you have too much
compassion? Absolutely not. The goal is to develop all of the different qualities of character that
make us good, and compassion is one of them. That’s not saying, can you be, can you have too
much love or can you have too much joy? No.
[00:36:57] And you cannot temper it with wisdom. You cannot put a limit on compassion because
it happens according to your level of your ability to express it, not because you intellectually put
the brakes on.
[00:37:10] All you’re really tempering is your reaction to having experienced compassion.
[00:37:16] And then whether or not you act or don’t act is irrelevant from the stance of whether
or not you can be unconditionally loving. So I would just keep it very clear and just separate
them out. We want to be unconditionally loving as best we can. We want to be compassionate
as best we can, and we want to be wise. And not one of them precludes or limits any of the
others. And they’re all a worthy goal. In the absence of wisdom, you’ll just find yourself
constantly wasting your energy, wasting your time, and being abused by people who don’t have
compassion. So, you know, I think wisdom is probably the weak point for many, many people.
And by that I mean spiritual wisdom. I mean spiritual maturity, not necessarily worldly wisdom.
Okay, so hopefully that. Sorry, that look, look at the right camera. Hopefully that answers that
question. And it is a very good question. And I do. I have compassion about where the confusion
was coming from. And so hopefully, in this brief discussion, we brought a little bit of clarity to the
situation. So let’s have a look and see what the next question is. And it is the question that
relates to the sword of Shannara. But if you’ve tuned in because you’re a sword of Shannara fan,
and you were hoping for a in depth discussion, then I’m afraid we won’t be going too much into
the sword of Shannara. We will be discussing some of the topics in it, but this is more about the
potential that a particular person has recognized. So let me dive straight into Nick’s question
here, and then we’ll talk a bit about it. So Nick asks two questions in one. I’ve been presented
with the book the Sword of Shannara multiple times from a friend, my son, and now my father,
leading me to finally read it.
[00:39:14] Could this be a sign that important opportunities continue to arise when something is
relevant to you? If so, will these opportunities keep presenting themselves? So, if you’re
wondering where this is going, this is really, really important, okay. For all of us, not just if you’re
a fan of a certain genre book, and this is far bigger than books. Okay, so, summarizing that
question, the same opportunity has come up multiple times.
[00:39:41] Does this mean that if something is meant to be or that we’re meant to look at it, that
it will keep coming up until we do? Okay, the second question is, in the book, the characters
stumble upon ruins from what seems like a more advanced lost civilization. Could this be a
metaphor for us being that lost civilization? Or is the author referencing past civilizations like
Atlantis? How should we balance technological progress with spirituality, as they often seem
opposed?
[00:40:10] Okay, so let me just clarify that second question.
[00:40:15] And look, let me just reach down here.
[00:40:19] Okay, so here’s my copy of that book. And it is very dogged. And it’s literally held
together with Sellotape and I. The cover’s falling apart, and it’s one of the few books I’ve read
multiple times. But the reason is, it’s special to me. Not because it’s a great book, but because
there was a message in it that I, for my own spiritual development, needed to understand.
[00:40:44] And I’ve looked into it, and Nick was also guided to read that book. Now, it doesn’t
mean that you should all rush out and read it. If it’s not your kind of thing, then fine. But there
was something. There was some. There was some.
[00:41:00] Not information, but there were some learnings in that book for Nick as well. And the
way to understand me.
[00:41:07] Sorry. The way to understand why you may be guided to a particular book isn’t
because that book itself is. Is fabulous or profound, or that the author was spiritual in the case of
Terry Brooks, he’s not a bad person, but he’s not particularly spiritual. It’s not about him. What it
is is that for the type of person that I am and the type of person that Nick is, then that was the
kind of book that would appeal to us. And the message in that book was the message that our
higher self wants to communicate to us. And so it’s the path of least resistance. In other words,
imagine your higher self is going, and remember, your higher self is guided by God. Okay, so
imagine your higher self is going, right? Oh my. This guy’s into Sci-Fi so let’s find a Sci-Fi book
that talks about this particular topic, that when he will then read it, I can shout at him and go,
that’s what I’m trying to tell you. If you get the idea, okay. And for another person, it might be, oh,
your higher self’s going, oh, right. We’ve got to find a rom.com that’s going to appeal to this
person, or we’ve got to find a book on chess that’s going to appeal to this person that within it we
can inspire a particular point.
[00:42:18] It’s not that this book itself is special. It’s just that it was the path of least resistance
presented at a time where it would help me understand certain things for my own development,
if you like. And I’m particularly fond of it. So I’ve read it. It’s probably the only book that I’ve read
more than twice ever. And it’s good because I leave it about ten years, and then I forget what
happened in it. And then I can read it again. Especially as we get older, we forget more. So you
can go back to books and enjoy them again.
[00:42:51] So what’s going on there with this guy Nick was that he was presented it by a good
friend, and he was like, no, it’s not for me. So he gave it to his son. Then his son said, dad, you
really should read this. And then he still rejected it. And then his dad came home with a big pile
of books, and in that pile of books was the same book again. And then he finally went, oh,
maybe I should pay attention.
[00:43:16] Would his question is, so if it’s important that he reads this book. And look, you guys
are all very smart, so you could probably say, look, is there a way that my higher self, your
higher self, is trying to reach you? And maybe the same theme or topic. Maybe it’s a film, maybe
it’s a song, maybe it’s a book. Maybe it’s a person keeps coming up and you keep on ignoring it
or not taking up the opportunity. Maybe this applies to you. Then so will his higher self carry on
giving him this opportunity? And here’s the important bit. The answer is no.
[00:43:52] If he rejects it, and it’s not because three is the magic number. It might be four for
someone else, it might be two for someone. But if he passes up this opportunity to learn
something specific, then he won’t be given the opportunity again. It will pass by and you might
think, well, is that a bad thing? I’m reminded of a scene from the chosen. So if you haven’t seen
it, there’s a scene where Jesus meets with Nicodemus. I think that’s his name, and he’s like one
of the scholars, religious people, but he actually gets it. He actually gets that Jesus is special,
but this guy has a lot of status. And Jesus says, look, simple, I’m leaving in a few days. Meet me
at the fountain and join me. I know you’re old. I know it means giving up a lot, but I want you to
join me because you’re a good person. Nicodemus gets there, stands around the corner, but
doesn’t have the courage to take the next step and follow it through. And so Jesus leaves with
his apostles, and the rest is history. And Nicodemus gets left behind and doesn’t have the
opportunity to have walked alongside Jesus and learned from Jesus. Now, irrespective of what
your beliefs are, if everything in the book is real, from that perspective, was that a good decision
on that guy’s part? Because he was looking for the truth. He was looking for the savior. And the
savior said to him, follow me. And he had the opportunity. He stood right there. He was 20
meters away, and then he passed by the opportunity. And it’s a bit like that. Maybe you’re being
guided to something because you need to learn something or understand something so that you
can then, let’s just be blunt, so you can then serve the highest good better.
[00:45:33] So what’s going to happen if you reject it two or three times?
[00:45:37] Well, you’re not the right person. And all the opportunities that would have followed
from that will no longer come because you’ve demonstrated that you’re not willing to take the
first step. So it’s not just, oh, well, you won’t get to read that book. It’s. And everything else that
would cascade forth from that opportunity will be lost to you. And it may be that that’s it. It may
be that that was the defining moment where your potential to become even more amazing, to do
even more amazing work, passes you by completely because you rejected on some level, the
first step on that journey. So I’m kind of. I’m not mincing my words here. I’m trying to inspire you
that if you are truly being guided and you suspect you’re truly being guided, then I’m changing
the colour of the highlight now because this is really important. So when you see the red appear
on the screen, that means this is truthful stuff. This is really important. Okay. All joking apart, if
your higher self is going to the trouble of repeatedly putting something in your path, then it’s for
your benefit. If you keep rejecting it, you’re rejecting the guidance of your higher self. And where
does that guidance come from? It comes from God. So I would take it very, very seriously. In the
case of this guy Nick, had he have not picked up the book the third time it was put in his path,
then not only would he not be put back in his path again, but other things that are yet to unfold
would not have been lined up for him. Okay? Because he’s a good spiritual person. So there is a
bigger picture for him. But he has to start to demonstrate this willingness to accept what is put in
his path. Okay? So I’m very grateful to Nick for asking this question because it is actually a really
important thing that we all need to understand as spiritual seekers of truth, as spiritual people.
Wherever you are in your journey, wherever you are, from the moment you’ve been awake or
starting to wake up, your higher self has been guiding you. How many opportunities? And look,
I’m in the same boat as all of us. How many opportunities have I passed up or lost because I
didn’t, wasn’t present enough, awake enough? Okay, so I think we should all give our higher
selves a lot of respect for the amount of patience that they show us. And if I sound a bit strict or
stern, it’s because I. I’m in the ranks. I’m in the trim, in the trenches with us, all of us. We’re in
the same place. And I’m like, wow, I wish someone had explained this to me. So this is really,
really important that we understand how it’s not frivolous, it’s not just, oh, well, don’t worry. I can
ignore my higher self in the next ten years. They’ll catch up with me down the line. No, there’s a
certain point where they’ll go, well, if you’re not interested, then we’ll close that door and you
won’t have everything that’s on the other side of it either. And it’s not punishment, it’s just you’ve
made your choice and they respect it. Better luck next life. Okay, so, yeah, great question. And
now I hope you understand why it’s worth us talking about this. Now, the second part is kind of a
different, a change of pace, really. But in this second part of this book, I remember the scene. So
there’s a particular scene where the. The main guy, who’s the guide, okay, has left the group.
And the newbies, the people that are on this quest, have to fend for themselves and they come a
cropper. They go into an old city and one of the main characters gets attacked by an old AI
powered machine. Okay, now, there has actually been a tv series done, and it makes it quite
clear in the tv series that it’s not Atlantis or some lost civilization, it’s actually the. The books are
based thousands of years in the future after some kind of apocalypse from the present time. And
the machine, you know, the world that they stumble across this are kind of the bones of old
buildings, is old skyscrapers. And the machine was obviously some kind of defense robot or
something that has survived for a long time, gone a bit mad, and is attacking anyone that comes
upon across its way.
[00:50:12] It’s not a major part of the book, and actually it was a bit of an odd part because the
rest of the world doesn’t. The rest of the book doesn’t really reference back to our times, other
than explaining stuff near the start.
[00:50:26] But what Nix picked up on is, look, is this another warning about the dangers of
technology? And I’ve made. No, I’ve not held back.
[00:50:39] And I talked about, again in the Stonehenge documentary, I talked about those on
higher dimensions who are good, spiritual humans like us. Those on higher dimensions, in other
words, what people might refer to as ascended humans, ascended masters, the good ones, that
they do not have anything whatsoever to do with technology. They abhor it because they know
that in reality, all technology is the work of the enemy. This, whatever, the forces of darkness.
[00:51:12] Someone saying, I’ve got this book. No spoilers. Okay. I won’t give away anything
more. Sorry, apologies. Great book, though. Carry on with it. I think we’ll have to have a spin off
chat show where we just, you know, do the sword of Shannara Appreciation Society from a
spiritual perspective or something like that, but just to ram the point home. So down here, look,
I’m. Look, I’ve got my microphone. I’m talking into the camera. Obviously I’m using technology.
It’s a necessary evil. It’s the only way that I can reach you in these times.
[00:51:48] So some good is coming from it, but down here is not the way things are meant to be.
There’s a lot of problems down here. We’ll get to that. I’m going to go down the rabbit hole a bit
in a moment.
[00:52:03] But I think of technology down here as a necessary evil. And I try very hard not to
overindulge in it, not to use it too much.
[00:52:13] I said last week or the week before, I’ve gone back to using a dumb phone or not
using a smartphone when I can avoid doing so. And years ago, I did a video about the problems
in the world, and a lot of it to do with technology. And we’ve talked about five g and things more
recently and demonic signals and how it affects us. So, you know, I’m no fan of technology, but I
will use technology wisely, hopefully, to spread and engage, spread useful spiritual information
and to support spiritual people. So down here, where we don’t really have a choice, I would say
it’s a necessary evil. But on higher dimensions, technology is. It’s not the root of evil, it’s the
manifestation of evil. Okay. It’s as simple as that. So what this book alludes to is that because of
technology and weapons of war, then there was some kind of apocalyptic situation, and it’s
changed the face of the world forever. It’s very reminiscent, actually, of the book dune. So if you
read the opening of Frank Herbert’s dune, he talks about AI going mad and killing everyone and
a big war of versus machines. And that’s why in the film June or in the books, that computers are
banned outright. And all the. And they have these people who’ve developed their brains to be
mentats, so they’re now the computers, because it’s outlawed across the galaxy, the universe,
that you’re not allowed computers, no thinking machines are allowed.
[00:53:38] So maybe Frank Herbert and Terry Brooks, something I should really look into. But
maybe both of them were subliminally. Not subliminally, but were picking up on the truth that
technology is such a bad thing. And so, look, everything I do, I try and avoid AI like the plague.
So, you know, my artwork is still done by me. I don’t just click a button and get AI to do it. And
even you could say, well, that would just save time. I’d rather spend my time, but be genuine and
honest than to engage unnecessarily with AI, which to me is the cutting edge or the bleeding
edge of the infiltration of evil into our lives. You know, I’m going to be honest, I’m too tired to try
and sugarcoat my words today. So basically, yeah. The second question, I think that I don’t know
if Terry, Terry Brooks deliberately intended it. I think maybe he was guided or picked up on the
idea. The technology. Bad. Okay, so in terms of progressing spiritually, never, never have
machines put into, you never wear things that monitor your blood or anything like that. Don’t
wear these Bluetooth smartwatches or Bluetooth headsets. You know, you know, a lot of
headsets and things have brainwave they took. They talk about their smart sensors, but
basically they can actually transmit and receive.
[00:55:02] So they’re at a point where they’re starting to be able to figure out what you’re thinking
about or certainly what your mood is and communicate that back to head office. It works quite
scary when you start reading and looking into these things. So, you know, my headphones don’t
do anything but play sound.
[00:55:20] I still use wires. I prefer that to Bluetooth, etcetera. Make the wires choices, but let’s
move on because that would be a wise choice as well. So, oh, press the button. But it didn’t do
the thing I wanted it to do. So let’s try that. All right, now we’re really going to get into the rabbit
hole territory. So someone on X and I’ve blanked out their name to preserve their, keep them,
keep them private, but really nice. They said, look. Hi, Mark. This popped up very interesting and
does seem more than a little coincidence. Would you be interested to see if there is something
to this for the show? Much love. And this is what I love about this show, is that stuff I would
never look at gets thrown my way. And I go, okay, that is quite interesting. I start digging a bit
deeper and I go, you know what? There is spiritual significance. So what we’re seeing on the
screen, and I’ll share the link to the actual, it’s about a 48 2nd video.
[00:56:23] I’ll share the link in the description, but I basically, it’s a woman saying, look, here’s
the constellation of Andromeda. And this character, this astrological symbol constellation, has
the brightest star in it is called Sirrah. Sirrah. And there’s another star in it at the opposite end
called Alamak.
[00:56:49] And so I’ve written Alamak and Siraev on the right there. So what’s the spirit?
[00:56:56] And then what they say is, well, hang on a sec. So I’ll save you the 48 seconds. But
they basically say, well, hang on a sec. Alemak, if you mirror, it is Kamala. And Sirrah, if you
mirror, it is Harris. What’s going on there? Oh, Andromeda has another name. It’s the chained
lady.
[00:57:19] Okay. So it starts getting a bit interesting. So there we go. So it’s called the chained
woman, Andromeda. So Andromeda was the very, kind of back of a fag packet explanation of
the mythology behind this was that her mum was very vain and proud and was showing off
about how beautiful her daughter was.
[00:57:46] And so she the God Poseidon. So her mum said, oh, my daughter’s more beautiful
than the sea nymphs. And Poseidon, the God of the sea, because the nymphs were legendary
in their beauty. So Poseidon was like, I’m not having any of that.
[00:58:03] And so he basically got a gorgon, I think it was called this sea monster, to rise up and
attack the shoreline and the villages and everything. And so to appease the God Poseidon, the
king, the father of the Andromeda, basically spoke to an oracle and she said, the only thing you
can do is sacrifice your daughter to this gorgon, and then, then they’ll let you off and they won’t
kill all your people. So he chained her up, and I think it was Perseus then came along and freed
her. And he used, I think he used Medusa’s head to turn the gorgon to stone and saved her.
Right? So she was going to be sacrificed to a sea monster.
[00:59:00] And she was in that situation because of the hubris and the ego and the pride of her
arrogant mother.
[00:59:07] So, yeah, so interesting. So where does that leave?
[00:59:11] Where does that leave us?
[00:59:14] I’m not going to get too deep into Kamala Harris, but let’s go down the dragon hole
and you are free to connect the dots. So what I looked into, by the way, Washington. Okay, is
this just a coincidence or did, for some reason, her parents name her Kamala Harris? Obviously
the name was Harris, but it’s just a bit too much of a coincidence that this constellation contains
her name.
[00:59:50] So did, was it by design?
[00:59:54] Because someone named that star a long time ago and gave it that name and
someone named the other star, you know, sirrah, and gave it that name. So that was by design.
And so what I looked into was, look, did her, did her father know about the constellation and
thought, I’ll be really clever and give her this name? No, but he was guided to give her that name
because of who he was and his beliefs. So it’s no secret her father is a marxist.
Tzdeheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh. He’s quite well known, basically
being marxist, communist. And part of communism is you reject Jesus, you reject God, because
you don’t. You know, communism basically says the state is important. There is no such thing as
religion, really.
[01:00:47] And so the forces of darkness looked at him and thought, okay, so he’s already
halfway there because he’s already rejected the notion of jesus and God. And, you know, and
he’s, and he’s pro communism, which is a very dark movement, okay? And he’s having this
daughter, and he’s in a position of power, and his wife’s got an interesting heritage. And that was
the key thing.
[01:01:15] So there’s potential here. So we will guide him. And one of the things we need, like
I’ve talked about, the path of least resistance. So if, you know, God works on those principles,
what’s the path of least resistance to achieve this? Well, the forces of darkness copy and do the
same. They say, right, we might need five or six candidates lined up, and we’ll nurture them all,
but one of them will come good. And so we’ll get her dad to call her Kamala because then that
will fulfill part of our plan because we’re the ones that named all of these stars. And we really
care about symbology because we like to just rub it in people’s faces. So we’ve already set up
the plan and written it out in the stars. So here’s the war, you know, here’s the chained woman.
[01:02:07] So there’s significance about chains, by the way. And so we’ve now got her name in
the stars and we’ve named that person on ondem on the third dimension. We got our dad to
name him. Now, her dad might have been none the wiser. Where did that idea come from? It
just popped into his head. It doesn’t matter. He was ripe for it because of his ego and his choices
in life that had taken him away from goodness and from God. Okay?
[01:02:34] So now the forces of darkness have a potential candidate. And what they did, it turns
out this is where we go down the rabbit hole. So what they did then is from when she was pretty
much born, they placed within her a mind that was very satanic, okay?
[01:02:54] And that would guide her to make certain choices and to have certain beliefs that they
could then leverage, and then they, because that’s their agent, they could then manipulate things
on the third dimension to make sure that that person ended up in the right place to get the right
connections, to get the right power to be maneuvered, and eventually find themselves in a
position where they may be in a real seat of power. What does the forces of darkness always
want? Power. How do they leverage it? Not by putting themselves there, but by putting stooges
that they control there. It’s as simple as that. So at this point, I was guided to look into other
things because the word chained woman really resonated with me. And I was like, okay, so
where’s this?
[01:03:49] If you think about it and feel free to drop a comment in the chat, but if you think about
a chained woman, I bet none of you are going to guess. It’s probably one of the biggest statues
in the world of a chained woman. And most people don’t even realize, okay, so we get to this,
the Statue of Liberty.
[01:04:09] So what people don’t realize is, and I’ve put a picture on the screen, you can see kind
of bottom, middle. I’ve zoomed in on the foot, and coming out from underneath the robes of the
Statue of Liberty is a chain.
[01:04:28] So the Statue of Liberty is chained around the ankles, but interestingly, the chain link
is broken. Now, I was guided to this, and then I found this interesting poem. So a woman called
Emma Lazarus, around about in the eight, I think it was 18 hundreds, 19 hundreds, whenever it
was. Sorry, I’ll put links to everything. Wrote a poem that then got added to the plinth at the
bottom of the Statue of Liberty, but only the bottom. The last part of her poem got added. So
what I’ve got here is a full poem.
[01:05:08] Not like the brazen giant of greek fame, with conquering limbs astride from land to
land, here at our sea washed sunset gates shall stand a mighty woman with a torch, whose
flame is the imprisoned lightning, and her name, mother of exiles. From her beacon hand glows
worldwide. Welcome, her mild eyes command the air bridged harbour that twin Cities frame. And
then the bit that’s actually on the Statue of Liberty. Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp, cries
she with silent lips. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe.
Three, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest tossed,
to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door. Okay, so there’s a lot in that. That on the surface is
like, oh, it’s really nice. It’s about taking on refugees and giving them a second opportunity and,
you know, things like that, there’s a lot that’s not good. So the top left, when you look at the face
of the Statue of Liberty, first and foremost, right? We’ve already established that the Statue of
Liberty is the chained woman. Okay? When you look at the face, it’s not a woman’s face. It’s a
very butch, masculine face. Now, it’s got seven spikes coming out the crown of the Statue of
Liberty. And if you look back about, I think it’s 300 and something bc you find that the.
[01:06:43] The roman empire worshipped a God called Sol Invictus, or the Sol, the sun God,
basically, which, if you know anything about your gods and greek and Egyptians, they worship
the sun as well. And so the top left picture is a face with hair and the seven spikes in exactly the
same alignment as a statue of liberty. And that’s much, much older. And what you can’t see in
this picture is the top part of that block of stone that it’s carved into is a pyramid. Okay? So that’s
the roman God Sol Invictus. And then on the coin that’s shown there is the full bodied version.
So one hand aloft, the seven spiked crown, the robes, the chains. All right, this one’s a man,
clearly, because you can see his bits hanging in the wind. But the Statue of Liberty is very
masculine, or at least androgynous. And there’s symbology in that as well. So then on the right,
I’ve got a picture of a sculpture. And again, if you can guess who that is, feel free to write it in the
chat. But this is obviously something’s not right here. So you’ve got what looks like an angel, but
with quite demonic wings. So they’ve got claws on the joints and he’s holding his head. And in
his hand is a broken staff, a broken rod and a crown, and he’s got a chain around his ankle, so
he is chained.
[01:08:13] And if you look and go into more detail, he’s actually got pointed toenails to suggest
he’s more animalistic. And that’s also why there’s horns on the tips of his wings, to suggest he’s
more animal. But he’s also like a male, strong male looking, suggesting he’s taken on human
form. So that is Lucifer. And the staff that is snapped has the morning star on the tip of it.
[01:08:39] It’s the star of light. That Lucifer is a bringer of light. So he fell. He was kicked out for
challenging God and fell so when you remember that he was exiled from heaven and basically
brought false light, and then you reread that poem, you see that, okay, a mighty woman with a
torch, whose flame is the imprisoned lightning. So he was cast out, struck down by lightning, and
imprisoned, kicked out of heaven, metaphorically speaking, and sent down here, imprisoned.
[01:09:25] And her name, mother of Exiles, who was the first exile? Lucifer, exiled from heaven,
cast down and out and banished. Okay, so mother of exiles literally means the one that was cast
out, the exile, who then from them, all other exiles came. In other words, everyone that’s been
rejected by heaven or rejected from heaven is because they fell, because they rejected God. In
other words, they followed in the footsteps. So this poet, it turns out, didn’t understand what they
were writing, but they themselves were guided.
[01:10:07] And people will get confused because it refers to woman.
[01:10:12] But if I just share this one quick picture with you, if I can find the right picture, let’s just
find this picture of. So this is Baphomet.
[01:10:24] Now, Baphomet is a false God, demonic type character who’s supposed to represent
harmony and balance. It’s the ideal, actually. It’s the.
[01:10:35] In terms of the ideals of our modern times, it’s about breaking down and destroying
the idea of a man or a woman and having some kind of androgynous. So this is a man woman.
It’s got breasts of a woman, body of a man.
[01:10:51] It’s got the dark star, the dark moon, and the light moon. So it’s trying to one hand
pointing up, one hand pointing down. It’s all about balance, but it’s not actually good. You’ve got
the five pointed star, the satanic symbols of the horns, the hooven feet, etcetera. So this is
Baphomet, who is actually quite heavily worshipped by a lot of people, particularly in Hollywood.
But the point is, this is a demonic, satanic character that promulgates, I don’t know if that’s the
right word, that promotes the notion that it’s good to break down the barriers between yin and
yang and to create this gender confusion. Where am I a boy? Am I a girl? I don’t know. I’ll be
both type things. So Baphomet is literally a man and a woman. It’s got female breasts, male
body.
[01:11:42] And so when I started doing all of the work and doing stuff on higher dimensions, one
of the things that was confusing until I got my head around it, was a lot of these things I would
encounter were androgynous. I’m talking about the things that were negative and dark and evil
would sometimes pretend to be women, sometimes pretend to be Mendez, but they’re the same
character. Or they would have themselves being a woman, and then you’d encounter them
another time and they’d be being a male version of themselves, whereas all of the. Let’s just say
the good ascended humans were, oh, yeah, I’m a bloke, always being a bloke, always will be a
bloke. That kind of thing. In other words, there was no fluidity about it.
[01:12:27] It’s like they respected yin and yangness. So a lot of these demons and things on
higher dimensions that want to mislead us will portray themselves, sometimes as a man,
sometimes as a woman. And the point I’m making is that there are dark forces at work and
they’re lining things up, and they have their people that they have influenced, and they have their
situations and in their ego and pride, because this has been going on for thousands of years.
They have named.
[01:12:58] Their plans are literally written in the stars, okay? And so they love it when they have
an opportunity to line things up because they think people won’t figure it out. They. In other
words, the truth is right there, but so is the deception. And they’ll probably just say, someone like
me is just, you know, making it up or crazy.
[01:13:23] But why was it that someone was guided to send me that video? And then I looked
into it and I was guided to say, okay, from what you’ve looked at, move beyond this. And now
look at the iconography of chained woman. And then I start. And then I didn’t even know that
there were chains on the Statue of Liberty. By the way, why is the Statue of Liberty significant?
[01:13:47] Well, it represents Lucifer, but whereas in the statue, he’s downtrodden on the right,
because he’s been cast down, it’s saying, he’s now broken free of his chains. He’s now standing
up and holding up the false light to lead humanity astray.
[01:14:06] And that’s the last line in the poem. I lift my lamp beside the golden door. So it’s
basically saying, look, all of these people, tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free, I
think we can all, on some level, relate to that. There’s a sense of we, you know, there’s things
wrong and we’re struggling, and we want true freedom, okay? And so Lucifer will stand there
and go, here’s light.
[01:14:37] Don’t look within. Don’t follow the light within. Follow this material light.
[01:14:43] The lightning. I stole the false light. And then don’t worry about a true spiritual journey.
Here’s a nice gold door. What’s gold represent? It’s material wealth. It’s more of the same. It’s
more of the physical realm. In other words, it’s literally saying, I lift my lamp of false light to
illuminate beside the golden door, the door to materialism, the door to chasing wealth and
desire, not spiritual liberation. Nothing. True light, not spiritual light, false light. So, you know, and
these ancient artifacts showing sol invictus, which goes back even further. I mean, I had to stop
myself because I was going so far down the rabbit hole. It’s like, oh, and this relates to this
persian God, and this relates to this. There’s nothing new under the sun. It’s just a regurgitation
of the same old false worshipping of things that are physical or material or in the sky to keep
people ignorant of the truth. So I’ve just realized that we’ve overrun a little bit, but, you know,
there we go. Hopefully you found that useful. Hopefully you found it interesting. And again, the
spiritual take home from this is, I mean, I’m not a political pundit. I’m not trying to say what you
should or shouldn’t do. And the people involved whose names have been mentioned, they’re
probably completely oblivious for the best part to what I’ve just been describing. But it’s not just
them. This goes on left, right, and center. Those on higher dimensions use all kinds of people.
What’s the spiritual message? The truth of the matter is, if you don’t, it goes back to the story of,
of Andromeda and her mother. If you don’t want to be used by that which is dark, stay out of
your ego. It’s as simple as that. It’s because of the ego and pride of her mother that our whole
saga unfolded. If her mum had been grateful, humble, you know, going back to the virtues, if her
mum had demonstrated virtue of character, she wouldn’t have angered the so called godsen that
then wouldn’t have sent the mythical monsters, that then wouldn’t have killed people and led to
her daughter being chained for sacrifice, etcetera. So all of that misery and suffering came about
because of someone’s ego and pride, you know, and so the message we can take from that is,
remember the virtues, okay? Humility, respect, gratitude, non judgment, compassion,
unconditional love towards you. In other words, towards self, towards others, and ultimately
towards God, then that, because that’s the antidote to ego and pride and fear and all of these
things. So on that note, I will love you I will leave you for today, but I will see you next week. And
wherever you are, God bless.
