    I spent a week in Mojave with some people I met 2 days before. Best week of my life. One of the guys told me to read this book which reminded me of The Matrix movie but with more information. And it changed my life…so I’m paying it forward: “Man Being Volume 1: The Transmission”. It covers everything from time travel, dreams, death, the afterlife, reincarnation, extraterrestrials, portals and gateways, Vatican and Renaissance secrets, Ancient civilizations, Lemuria, Atlantis, Jesus, Sinai, Egyptians and the Pyramids, Hebrew letters, etc. Wild read. Best I’ve had in years. Highly recommend it.

    Lady had a bad dream of a scary devil monster chasing her. She felt the monster getting closer and closer, finally she couldn't take no more and as she turned around, she fell backwards on the ground and looking up at the devil monster. She screamed out. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO ME? The devil looked puzzled and dropped his claws then shook his head and said .. I dont know lady this is your dream! LOL . The point is her fear activated the devil and chase, so stop telling the devil what to do to you, basically takes orders from you. People dont realize there thoughts coming back at them because are brains are way more powerful then people really know!

    Quote from Marianne Williamson's book "A return to love"
    Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

The child ceases to play when it notices the father watching and so the father pretends not to watch so that the child thinks its safe to go back to play unnoticed.

    When Jesus said get behind me Satan when he was speaking to Peter, he literally was talking to Peters ego. Because the ego is only concerned with the things of this world or you know worldly matters and survival. And that's what Jesus said to him, get behind me Satan for you are only concerned with the things of this world and man's concerns fears. Really think this devil that Christianity has been talking about is literally us, not the true us but the ego self. The illusionary self. In Jesus was helping his disciples by guiding them toward enlightenment

While I prefer to avoid religion, due to my own experiences, there is truth in EVERYTHING, even what repels us. Humans tend to never see that truth because our instinct is to avoid looking at the things that displease us in a neutral light. Neutrality is where God sits. God would have to be neutral to be the king of all consciousness, which includes darkness, not just light.

      Yes, but suffering doesn't go away. This world and our experience of it isn't just some place to 'get out of.' We're here for story, even if we've forgotten. But one can only really play the game when there's an inkling in the back of his mind that it's gonna be ok (knowing the oneness). Till now, to be alive has felt either super serious (the threat of eternity in heaven or hell, an outcome which depends on our belief, but how to force ourselves to 'believe?'), or cynical (society's belief in the automatic model of the universe where it's all a sterile and meaningless universe, deep down. There's no God, no meaning, and we humans and our consciousness are flukes). That's why society is crazy. We've really only had those two choices for far too long. We've forgotten how to get joy out of life, which is the thing that lets a person smile in the face of adversity, instead of thinking we can design a world in which no adversity exists.

    Understanding, loving and accepting the ego, or shadow self, are the keys and foundation for integrating, or blending, that aspect of the self with the higher self, or light self.. achieving THAT is how the self becomes ONE within itself, instead of dual opposing selves.. and THAT is when TRANSCENDENCE OF THE EGO AND DUALITY is accomplished, allowing the Self to experience a state that some call Nirvana. So just as our Source of Creation encompasses all spectrums of light and dark, so must we as well.

    Each of us, from the most loving and "good" to the most evil and "bad", are all sparks of energy that the Source of All Creation, or the "Universe", created and sent out in order to experience and express itself. The first sparks were the ones who chose to create duality/polarity, in order to more fully experience, learn from, and understand its existence. Because Source is first and foremost, unconditional love, it means that each us is that as well, even if there are those who have chosen to exist and experience the total opposite of that. Love is what created us and what the majority of us are, consciously or unconsciously, trying to return to. It is who/what we are at our deepest core level. However, because Source is all encompassing, it stands to reason that so are we. The yin and yang symbol is a prime example of this. We all possess the light and dark spectrum of energy within us, and are given free will to choose how we want to embody and experience that spectrum.
    We were given free will in order for us to have the opportunity to choose what we want to experience, and it's our own choices that create our reality. We can choose to be an energetic representation of the light, the dark or even remain neutral. Everything is a choice, even when it seems like it's not. There are universal laws that were created in order to establish a guide of balance and foundation for us to explore our existence individually. There is one law that is absolutely absolute and can't be tampered with or altered, the way some of the other laws have been, and that is the law of One. It states that separation is an illusion, because everyone and everything is connected to everyone and everything else, and ALL is connected to the Source of All Creation. We are all just Source made manifest into reality. From the tiniest biological organism to the largest planetary body, everything is connected and forever will be.

      @John Doe pleasure, impulse, and materialism(satan) is what makes life worth living, right. Yea, people HATE to admit that today. Are you kidding? New age/Satanism is literally the mainstream religion in America today. Now THAT is what people DONT want to admit. They call it being "spiritual", they call it "enlightenment", they call it "yoga/self love".....the greatest "sin" today in America is to deny your own impulses. That's literally satanism/new age in a nutshell, wrapped up in a cute little yoga outfit 🧘‍♂️ and called enlightenment. I had a child with a woman wrapped up in the new age deception, she found out years later what it all was. Satanism in disguise. Notice how the media makes a joke out of the character named satan today, cartoon TV shows, movies, video games about starting a satanic cult, social media, etc...and you guys fell right for it. I did too. Until he broke every single promise he made, which made me want something deeper than impulse, material, and pleasure. Like Wisdom, sacrifice, and joy(not happiness). God allowed me to fall for Satan and learn some hard lessons....but Satan doesn't care whether I live or die unhappy. He doesn't care if I learn anything, he hopes I don't actually. God does tho. And if satan has his way, all of you here will continue thinking the way you do until you die.(and you most likely will) Jesus died for everyone so we wouldn't have to be Satan's unconscious slaves for eternity. He wasn't just some guru prophet with "interesting lessons and devine thinking"...He was much more than that. If he wasn't, then I would've stayed following satan.(the easier, more "fun" way of living) hookup culture and drugs, money, status, ego....who wouldn't seek those things? Only people who aren't satisfied with the superficial empty promises of Satan. Alan Watts was intelligent for sure, but most young guys listening aren't wise, OR smart enough to know the difference between joy and happiness, or wisdom and intelligence. It's all the same to them. Good luck searching for the honey of life in the bear cave.

      If you listen closely You can hear a rather loud and persistent creaking (probably from a hand held microphone) throughout this particular recording as well as some breathing, coughing and other noises in the room.
      This was probably recorded on tape by someone in the audience and later over compressed.

If we were to do everything in our power to do the right thing and all those surrounding us tell us that we're in the wrong, who are we to dare stand against the world? We may know that 2+2=4, but if everyone else says 2+2=5, what voice do we have that speaks the truth? If ever in doubt of the Truth, hail Lucifer, the very spirit of the Truth itself... distilled in purity, for better or for worse, a proud lyric from the voice within.

It all made perfect sense to me once I opened my mind up with no prejudice and free of dogma. Minds , like parachutes , only work once opened. I was taught there is only one book. The bible. This is the GREAT lie. It is a matriarchal standpoint that rather than frees us , actually ties us up and allows us absolutely nothing in terms of freedom. It was and is still used massively to push politics, darkness and the suppression of the feminine power that we once lived under. My personal perception is that we are all “Half” devils and if we realise that we can live as balanced humans. If we think we aren’t half devils that makes us a full devil. Blind. Luke warm. To be consumed by oneself and swallowed up in our own personalities. Now that my friend is a very dark place to find oneself in.

    There is no problem with the video presentation. But there is a problem in that the presentation had to have a Dramatic caption (click bait) to lure viewers ( the subject of Devil is the drama and the suspense).
    His speech is eloquent and impressive and moving for the layman with a mild interest in the spiritual subject matter, but is mild for one who is actually wanting to go beyond the mild curiosity.
    The dramatic music is also very infectious and add another dimension to the content and speech, but not necessary for the true seeker. The truth of the matter is that very simple logic needs to be presented in a sensational manner for people to grasp it nowadays.

    The divisions created by the mind good and bad, right and wrong, like dislikes, love and hatred. Shakespeare wrote "There is nothing good or bad just thinking makes it so, apart from the mind it's only WHAT IS. God and devil sitting "together" and God says to the Devil look, look there is a man in the desert, he just found the Truth, so it's all over for you your job is done. And the Devil says to God, not to worry my friend I'll help organise this Truth. For once it's organised it become a circus, a dangerous one. There is a second moral to this story. God and Devil sitting together, no good or bad no more polarities, opposites no divisions God and Devil as One. It is the mind that creates the divisions, and the mind loves opposites.

      The most dire misconception of God, is that God is completely good.
      Imagine if you would, that all matter in the universe is compressed to a single point. Every element contained in the universe has fused into one singular atom, every proton, neutron, and electron. Keeping this in mind, what composes every fiber of your being? Atoms. Elements. Protons, neutrons, and electrons. Yet, you are conscious. Continuing from the singular atom; would it be such a stretch to imagine that atom having a consciousness? Outside of time, and space (since time, nor space can exist when all matter is in the same place) that consciousness directs every action that ever has, and ever will occur based on each individual particle's polarity. Their polarity's being Positive, Negative, and Neutral. You see, the Atom of creation is God. Everything else is just energy being transferred from one state, to the next. You are the universe experiencing itself. An amalgamation of the creator.
      That is all. And so are we.

      I do believe that 'God' or Divine Consciousness IS EVERYTHING - from humans, to geckos, to birds, to spiders, to extraterrestrial beings, to interdimensional beings or 'spirits' whether we call them Angel's or demons. Divine Consciousness is the dreamer and we are the dream. We are not separate from each other nor from Divine source. Everything in the universe is Divine Consciousness in motion. For me, that has been a hard pill to swallow. It is so mind-blowing and so different from the god concept that humans have been made to hold on to over the centuries.

It's not going to just HAPPEN on its own if you don't DECIDE to do something and take ACTION to make a change.
    Admittedly, some of the things that he talks about do indeed make sense, but this is one instance where that is not the case. There is no single individual who is all knowing and as far as I see it, he has proven that with this specific lecture.

    Each of us, from the most loving and "good" to the most evil and "bad", are all sparks of energy that the Source of All Creation, or the "Universe", created and sent out in order to experience and express itself. The first sparks were the ones who chose to create duality/polarity, in order to more fully experience, learn from, and understand its existence. Because Source is first and foremost, unconditional love, it means that each us is that as well, even if there are those who have chosen to exist and experience the total opposite of that. Love is what created us and what the majority of us are, consciously or unconsciously, trying to return to. It is who/what we are at our deepest core level. However, because Source is all encompassing, it stands to reason that so are we. The yin and yang symbol is a prime example of this. We all possess the light and dark spectrum of energy within us, and are given free will to choose how we want to embody and experience that spectrum.
    We were given free will in order for us to have the opportunity to choose what we want to experience, and it's our own choices that create our reality. We can choose to be an energetic representation of the light, the dark or even remain neutral. Everything is a choice, even when it seems like it's not. There are universal laws that were created in order to establish a guide of balance and foundation for us to explore our existence individually. There is one law that is absolutely absolute and can't be tampered with or altered, the way some of the other laws have been, and that is the law of One. It states that separation is an illusion, because everyone and everything is connected to everyone and everything else, and ALL is connected to the Source of All Creation. We are all just Source made manifest into reality. From the tiniest biological organism to the largest planetary body, everything is connected and forever will be.
