    I've been dying to hear stories of the Vedas. Since I can only read and understand English it has been difficult. Thank you for this life changing story. Just by hearing this we need not spend thousands of years ignorantly pursuing things which eventually come to an end at some time, meaning all that time was wasted. If only we can listen with imagination and experience the same thing. The stories in scriptures can many times transform a disciple more than a saint can. Thank you.

      Dear Brothers and Sisters,
      I am DHIREN [ from India ] and I am the Great CHIREN whom the famous French foreteller Nostradamous predicted as the one who will bring lost Glory to the Church and the onw who will tell the World who their True God is [ which is YESHUA (His True Name )] i.e Jesus and who will tell the True path of Salvation / Liberation / Mukti and the true purpose of Human Life. His name and Fame will grow in the 3 Worlds. I want to save people from going to Hell irrespective of their Religion . I know many things which may lead a person to Hell . About 5-6 points told by Nostradamous about the Great Chiren are matching with me . If anybody wants to know above things he can come down to India , NASHIK CITY , MAHARASHTRA and I will be more than Happy to help him save Himself and his family and friends from going to Hell . My email is dhirubhai01@gmail.com.
      B]
      Dear All ,
      But Television and Music has been taken over by the Devil / SATAN so before reading my above comment Please say the Prayer " Jesus I repent for seeing Videos and Audios and reading DHIREN'S Comments [ but for which this audio Video medium CZcams] has been used. I forgive DHIREN for using this medium and Jesus please also forgive DHIREN for using this audio video medium , in Jesus Name " ]

      @paul w perhaps for you my friend...i do not agree thru my experiences tho....i think you missed the point...i don't mean to be rude...you are simply not ready for the message...the mind, body, spirit, and soul are all intertwined...if you want to pass judgment it's o.k...judgment is always the egoic mind. If you want to learn why you MAY be stuck...i might suggest nothing...but because i am hear on Earth to help everyone...i would suggest that you learn about the egoic mind...Eckhart Tolle is good at breaking down thought form...small piece by piece...in a linear understandable manner....or he may not be someone you can relate to...spiritual growth t isn't new age...that is a construct of your early childhood/teenage/adult proramming...it's false...this IS ancient "old age" wisdom that has been "lost"....or kept from the light beings by the dark beings whom have been in power for thousands of years...i am so grateful to be guided to this video and story...it has helped me immensely on my soul's journey through "the ages"...i know there is no such thing as time....i have transcended time a few times...and space as well...time or space are necessary illusions in a 3 dimensional existance....an existance who's purpose is to spiritually awaken all of us on this "Earthy plane"...or "realm". It was my egoic mind that wanted me to respond to you...awareness is key...then...i thought...how can i help you towards spiritual enlightment?...and this is my intention in my entire comment....never to hurt anyone's view....or place. I wish all beings PEACE and LOVE and HARMONY.

    • @sheilarogers2771
      @sheilarogers2771 Před 4 lety +3

      @paul w Your narrative and focus is from your own personal experience and interpretation. You are judging and biased. You under-estimate females. How do u not know that i am from a native america culture who reveers females...is aware that we are more powerful than men...i don't mean men are any less equal or needed as beings...just that woman give birth...the respect that is given to us is awesome...i have also never watched porn...but I am aware that the images alone in the media brainwash people...as i fully understand how the subconscious mind works...not knowing false FROM tTrue...your message...from the start is in the logical limited mind...the egoic mind....that is what gets all of us in "trouble" with perceptions/interpretations. My culture also embraces menses...just because I am in the West...doens't mean i am not a spiritual being...feeling the "god code" in my cells...embracing the love...no one can take my relationship with the multiverse, cosmos, mother earth, the seasons, the chanting of Sikh....ancient healing sounds...the Qigong that connects my body...the vessel to the cosmos and mother earth...so i am a conduit of divine energies...blissing out every second i can in a dark ages time...it will pass....light always envelops darkness. My egoic mind and my love for others helped me write this...despite being seriously ill....i still want to help everyone...why? because WE ARE ONE....i won't be checking out the link...too busy trying to stay grounded and as healthy as possible after a difficult journey of enslavement by the elite. We probably have a lot of common ground but i just don't have the energy to have an intellectual chat with you. I apologize for that. Peace to all.

    • @sheilarogers2771
      @sheilarogers2771 Před 4 lety +4

      @paul w i understand you better thru your replies. i am aware i am an idealist and it is because of past life stuff. i have not had regression but had many experiences as a child, teen, adult with intuition, inner knowing at age 7 or so..."all the plants r here to heal us"....yet i got stuck in the matrix in advertising and brain washing system....that encouraged me to us chemicals and trusted a system that gives out poison to cure an ailment...even toothpaste has a phone number for poison control...the flouride clogs the pineal gland too...dental floss is laced with toxins according to a scientist 400 page article i read....she wrote it after searching for answers for her mother's rare cancer...she linked it tot he dental floss and other items in the home...all these tidbits of info...helped create awareness for me...i ask questions all the time...use to cry at age 14..."why can't everyone in the world get along?"...i am very sensitive...a slow processor but a deep thinker...i know that i have had a previous life where i did not need words...i communicated instantly (no time)...and messages of a higher frequency were the reason...i mean i was a much higher vibe person and in a place that was limitless....full of love...so when here on this planet and living in a highly toxic family...people who are sociopaths/lie/are self centred, cruel, mean...yet i was pure...pure...angelic...then the evil catholic church i was forced to go to thru school...did damage but i feel blessed that they would not accept me to be a priest at age 16...as i was called to do...just because i wasn't male..it made me angry...i was being oppressed. I also refused to say..."I believe in the holy catholic church"...in part of the cults...so-called prayer....it never resonated with me...i knew it formed division and planted seeds of superiority....sorry for the ramble...but i also hated being told over and over that i was a sinner...when i hadn't sinned...not once....i sinned once as a teenager...and had guilt...for a couple years that drove me bonkers...so i communicated with the person...and it was resolved. that experience made me back to pureness....yes...i am an idealist because i don't understand why we all cannot live in bliss, peace, harmony, and love...there is no reason why this cannot occur. Anyway, i agree with many thiings you write...i'm on the same page...with some, similar page with others, and i disagree with a couple statements you made...i still don't understand why u wrote that my experiences count less than a mans...or why you referred to me as "little miss"...these statements hurt my feelings....if you enjoy that...that's on you. It wasn't pleasant on my end. If i hurt your feelings...i apologize...not my intention. I have noticed that when you write from your own experiences..it comes across positively....and i do this same thing sometimes...so i have learned more about myself thru you....i sacrificed myself to help my evil family, i sacrificed myself to make the world a better place working in an awful health care system.....not knowing...being kept in the dark at university especially with the truth of "medications"...and now i was poisoned by big pHARMa...and i don't know if i'm going to recover...I have lost my health...immune system got "hammered" by antibiotics for acne as a teen...with no recommendation to change sugar filled diet at home...with no recommendation to shower after i exercise....and a mom hat left me for dead a few times...never told my hard working father the truth about the high fever...i was saved at the end...by Jesus...Jesus is all i knew...if it were anyone else...well...let's just say...spirit knows what it's doing...the antibiotics i took as a teen are no longer given...and others still are....anyway, i feel awful for giving out unsafe meds....in my "career"...the knowledge to heal has been repressed...thanks to my spirituality...and search for TRUTH...I have been led back to the most important thing to me...the thing that no one can take away from me...my spirituality and the divine within me...it's been 30 years and I'm stiill trying to get my guts healed. Then the worst thing happened (before i fully awakened in 2018)...i realized at the end of 2018...that i was severely posioned by a so-called antibiotic...CiproFLOXacin...it's a fluoro-quinilone....the latter is a pulled chemotherapy drug...fluoro...is because a "scientist" thought it would be a great idea to lace it with fluorine....millions of peopel are disabled from several types of this killer drug...and it's all hush-hush...i have nothing to lose....go ahead the elite...come and kill me...you already have....this Earth Angel was descended on Earth TO help others...i have been robbed of my life...i could of healed thousands of people...but i can't...i have to heal myself...so i want to thank you Paul...you are 100% correct...i have seen many females take on roles that are set up to fail..."Nursing" failed me and the system did...but I hope that if i choose to reincarnate through free will...(another LIE the catholic church told me is reincarnation is not true...that's utter BS to control us)...it also stopped my development...as humans seem to be born with trust...it's too bad others destroy that beauty. So...i was already aware thru reflection that i sacrificed myself....and this is what i will take from meeting you Paul...as i am fighting a battle for my health and a corrupt insurance company who will take my benefits away in the near months...which will leave me in a brutal climate.....homeless, pennyless despite having over 300K...that i spent trying to get well for 25 years or so...not knowing i was ingesting poison with many over-the-counter drugs...and prescribed ones... i spent thousands...books, supplements, learning about ancient cultures healing...ways of natural living....healers...i worked since age 11...saved money....used a plastic bag instead of a purse...cut my own hair...purchased clothing at deepest "cheaper" prices....used men's clothing and deodorant (i learned deo...is poison later)...bu the mens' items lasted longer...and the were much cheaper....men would not tolerate the expense of "women's monthly" cheap rayon/plastic products...i want a world of NO chemicals...no plastics....no air or light pollution...been praying for it....i have also been praying for a world with NO MONEY...becasue people will be forced to get along and barter...bartering would push people to ask..what they are good at...then people would hopefully do what God talents they had...which is much more natural...chasing money....is not natural...devidiing land and water...doesn't go witht he flow of life....Mother Earth and the multiverse will help me....dark and negative forces need to go...be transformed...transmuted....i wish people knew that when we babies are in the womb...we have both the wolfian and grafian system...male and female equaly....then the hormones in the mom determine the gender of teh child...the dominate syste...but the less dominate system that "fades away"...is still there....that can be proven with hormone tests....men and woman are more similar than different....because we are beings....yet division is crated by the dark forces...focusing people on duality...men and woman are EQUALLY important...just as important as NO HIERARCHY...the blade of the grass, the wind, the person, the animal, the leaf, etc...is all intertwined....it's all about ENERGY. WE ARE ALL ONE. I should also say that i sacrificed my time for others...i gave a gift...i suppose...but i didn't drink, smoke...and had a lovely pet...that i walked...as a teen i realized that the forest and my dog...and my Dad healed me...i wish i could go back to that forest....my dad and dog are in the spirit world...

    Thanks for such a great speech, I have practiced the Gayatri mantra since 1974 and I consider it one of the foundations for my spiritual practice. I cannot recommend it highly enough. The prana becomes energized. The light in the aura becomes brighter and brighter. A beneficial energy comes through you that is helpful to everyone.
