The Christ Consciousness

We answer a question we keep getting: what we believe about God, Jesus, and why the way we were taught to worship might be pointing us away from our own divine nature. We use Scripture, metaphors, and real-life logic tests to argue that the real work is remembering who we are and embodying peace instead of living in fear and separation. 
• the Instagram Live question that sparks the whole breakdown 
• why “accepting Jesus” gets confusing when you test it with real-world scenarios 
• Jesus as a model of awakened humanity rather than a distant exception 
• why worship without embodiment turns into collecting information 
• reading prayer as alignment between human will and divine will 
• “you are gods” as a metaphor for shared divinity and no separation 
• Christ consciousness as a state of being and a process of remembering 
• ego as the adversary that creates duality and identity-based conflict 
• Adam and Eve as a psychology story about the mind’s “fall” 
• embracing death as the doorway to actually living with peace and joy

Welcome And The God Question

SPEAKER_01 0:05

Once you see what you actually are, that you're an infinite, limitless being, you'll see that nothing exists outside of you. I'm your host, Derek Grant, and this is the Pathway to Your Results Podcast.

SPEAKER_04 0:25

Bro, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Pathway to Results Podcast. It is your boy DG. I hope you're doing well. Hope life has been treating you justly as it always does.

SPEAKER_01 0:39

Hope you're learning and gaining insights and new information as to who and why you are the way you are. But nevertheless, I wanted to do this episode. I've been this episode's been on my heart for a while. And if I'm being honest, I probably didn't have I don't use the word. I guess we can use the word. Might as well have the courage to talk about this.

SPEAKER_04 1:04

But I'm like, why not? It's your podcast. Say what you feel, say what you believe, say what you the way you perceive something. Maybe that might open somebody else up and help them to go down a journey and start, you know, figuring out why and asking questions instead of just accepting, you know, how things are. So I was doing, I was promoting, which by the way, DG Mindset Academy, get yourself in there right now because we have uh the manifestation code um going on right now. So won't want to miss it, teaching how to manifest.

SPEAKER_01 1:33

But anyway, I was on Instagram Live and somebody uh there's always anytime I go on Instagram live, people, you know, I just open it up for people to ask questions and they range from how do I stop procrastination to how do I get over anxiety to uh are you a Christian?

SPEAKER_04 1:45

Do you believe in God? And this is the second, second time somebody had asked me this this week. So I was like, you know what? I'm gonna go ahead and answer this uh through a podcast and I'm gonna break this down. Um and hopefully it it'll it'll it'll be something within you. I mean, I've had questions. I'm I told you already I'm a Sagittarius slash ophagus, so um I may take everything at face value and say, oh, okay, yeah, but deep down inside in the back of my membrane, my membrane, the back of my brain, I'm sitting here uh saying, well, yeah, but that doesn't make sense. Yeah, but why? Yeah, but how?

SPEAKER_01 2:22

And we've talked about this before, but I'm gonna go just a little bit deeper in this whole notion of if we use Christianity, if we use uh the Bible and really what it was saying, and I'm just gonna talk about Jesus here.

The Amazon Tribe Salvation Dilemma

You Are Jesus: The Core Reframe

Reading Prayer And Miracles Differently

SPEAKER_04 2:33

We'll go a little bit to the Old Testament, but for the most part, we're gonna stay in the New Testament. I'll never forget why was happening this awakening. You know, when you have an awakening, you know, spiritual ego is real, it's live and aware, you know, you you try to prove everybody wrong and say, well, this was wrong, and this is this, you down with every conspiracy theory, and yeah, this is what's going on, and I think aliens, you know, you know, like you you are literally the epitome of polarization, right? When you're going through this awakening, the spiritual ego was is is is active. So when I was going through this, I never forget my mother, mom. Shout out to you, Mom. I know you're gonna listen to this. But she came to visit me uh in Indiana, and we were sitting in the garage and we were sitting there talking, and I'm on my spiritual ego, Kate. I mean, I tell you, I'm I'm on it, I'm on it. Like I'm trying to dispel everything she's ever learned about Christianity, and this is what it is, this is what it's not. So I just asked her a question. I go, when we accept Jesus into our heart, are we forgiven for our sins? She says, Yeah. I said, even if I killed 30 people, she goes, Well, if you accept him into your heart, I'm like, okay, let me let me go a little bit deeper. What if I don't know Jesus? And she goes, Well, we all have the opportunity to know him. I say, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. What if I'm an indigenous tribe who doesn't have connection to Western society in the Amazon, which is real, there are indigenous tribes out there like that, and I don't have access to this dude or this teaching his name Jesus. Am I saved? And she's like, Well, you have to accept him into your heart. I'm like, how could I accept him when I didn't even know he exists? I didn't even know. So how can I be denied if I never even had the chance to accept him? You see what I'm saying? And then she stopped there. She said, Well, I don't, I don't know. And how many times do we do this? We stop right there and we don't keep asking the questions. Not me, not the Sagittarius slash Ophicus, not me. I want to know why. Good God am I, if y'all don't stay with me on this one, you ain't never gonna be able to stay with me because we about to get to going. I wanna know why and how and how this does this pertain to me in 2026. Don't come teach me something and it has and it's talking about something 2,000 years ago, and it ain't got nothing to do with me right now. And I got these bills and I got these taxes, and I got these children, I got these responsibilities. I wanna figure out if this is as real as you say it is, why is it not pertaining to me? And I'm gonna figure out how can I get it to pertain. So I went on this journey, I went on this hunt. I wanted to figure out more, right? So understanding this character named Jesus, I'm gonna just go ahead and take it off, and you're gonna say blasphemous, but I promise you, by the time I get done, you're gonna be like, oh my goodness, this motherfucker was right here speaking truth. You were Jesus. You were Jesus. You are Jesus. You. It was you, it was the story of you. I'm talking to you. Oh my goodness, he's saying this. This is making me hot. Why is he saying this? Yeah, but this isn't what I was taught. I thought I was supposed to worship it. I thought I was supposed to put him outside. No, it was the story of you. Jesus didn't come here trying to convince the whole world he was the only divine being. He was trying to remind you what you really were. He was trying to remind you, just like I am, trying to remind you what but you got taught from your ancestors that we were supposed to worship him. He was trying to teach humanity that we all are expressions of the divine. The issue is, is we forgot and he didn't. So he didn't come to be worshiped. He didn't come to be, well, let me, first of all, it's sick and just I don't understand why we put this dude on a cross. On a cross. The cross was meant to kill. Why are we worshiping the death? Why are we why what? What does that tell you right there? What is the frequency of that? Imagine this. If I go around put posters of uh uh uh uh I'm uh I love Kobe and we put a picture of the of a helicopter. Y'all ain't trying to hear nothing I'm saying right now, but yeah, we will do this. Do you see? Do you see what we've done? Okay, so now guess what? Subconsciously, you're afraid of dying. And you need Jesus to have everlasting life. But if you listen to what Jesus was teaching, he was trying to wake your ass up and get you to realize there is no death. So I'm gonna break this down. So here's the problem. Here's the number one problem that I see, okay? Here's the issue. I shouldn't say problem, the issue. We were taught that Jesus was different. We were taught that Jesus was God and we were not. That's gonna be okay. See, now I told you we're gonna go ahead and get started. You ain't never nobody, nobody's ever said this to you. Yeah, well, I'm not God. I'm I'm you ain't any less God than that tree over there. You ain't any more God than the one who's in jail right now. You see what I'm saying? This is what Jesus was trying to tell you. See, this is the other thing too. You got taught that Jesus was a perfect being that you could never become. But if you really read these scriptures carefully, Jesus was constantly trying to tell you and point you back to your divine nature consistently. So here's what he was doing: he was never separating himself. Humans did that. The egos of those who were who created religion, this was another thing we ought to understand too. Jesus didn't say, Y'all go ahead and create a religion around me. Y'all go ahead and do it. He never never said that. He was modeling what a human looks like, good God Almighty, when they remember what they actually are. I'm gonna go ahead and say this again for the people in the back, because I don't think you really understand. Because I'm trying to, I'm we're gonna we go, we're gonna go to church today. We're gonna break some spirits free. He was modeling what it looked like when you as a human, as a fleshy creature in the physical, you know, in the physical plane of existence, remembered that you were actually the being instead of the human. When you recognize and realize what you really were, you didn't think that you were this physical being, you didn't get trapped in this matrix. He didn't come to be worshiped. He came to be understood. Sorry. For you to understand him. And the issue is that over time the ego got a hold of this thing that we call religion, and now he's become somebody that you pray to instead of somebody that you become like. Instead of you embodying the teachings, you have taken the teachings, putting them outside of you, and then you think if I just go to church once a week, maybe I'll do it every day. Matter of fact, maybe I go every day. I asked my dad, I said, What are you doing? So I'm at the church. I said, Wouldn't you just hear a couple hours ago? Ain't no place that he ain't. I tell you one thing, Dad, I don't know if you're gonna listen to you. If you're gonna listen to this, I don't look, if somebody said, Your father's missing, where is he? It wouldn't be hard to find him. I know where to find him. All I gotta go is to go to Friendship Baptist in uh uh Wake Forest, North Carolina. I bet you he's in the maintenance room. I bet you he's somewhere floating around. But here's what we do we think the more that I do this, maybe then I'll be saved. All right, but no. If you sit here and listen to a podcast or you listen to something that's helped you, it's not about you retaining the information. It was about you embodying it. You see, this is what we don't understand. Until you can transform and integrate it, you ain't doing nothing but just gathering a whole treasure trove of information. And that's not what it was intended for. So that's part one. Do we see how this worked? Okay. He was trying to show you what a human looks like when it is connected to the divine. Okay? And here's how I know this. Because I grew up in church and they used to tell me that he was G Jesus was God and he was man. I used to be like, wait, he's both? How is he both? How is he both? You mean okay, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm just look, I'm going back to the 12-year-old me when I was just sitting in church. I used to say, How in the world is he both? This Joker got to prove, got to choose two. If he was half God and half man, how come then he went up on that cross and died? And then he came back. And then he left again. And then he's telling me that he's gonna come back. Why won't he make up his mind? This don't make no sense to me. So then when I started to really ask the question, if he was, because I never forget, we showed like a visual in church and they showed him going away. He went up away from the disciples and everybody else, and he went up on uh, I don't know if it was Mount Sinai, I don't know what mountainway. He went away from everybody, and he said he had to get away so he could pray. And I say, Well, who is he praying to? And the pastor's like, he's praying to God. Even Jesus prayed to God. And I said, Well, wait a minute, I thought you told me he was God. So if he's God, why is he gonna pray to himself? This don't make no sense. So you mean to tell me he prayed to himself and then he died on purpose, and then he ascendeth into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of himself? What the y'all are confusing me now. This ain't making no sense. See, this is all the things that went through my head as a 12-year-old, and I didn't want to ask because I was told, don't you question, don't you ask no questions. You see. So here's the thing: if God, if Jesus was literally God himself, why would he constantly pray? Why would he in Matthew 26, 39 say, My father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will. You see what he just did? He distinguished between his human will and divine will. So this shows that he was actually a human that was divine, that was, that was aligned with the divine. You see? So there was a human element to it. So now this is, I'm starting to like, okay, well, this is starting to, this is this is because I always thought that he was separate from the human side, right? So now, if we dive just a little bit deeper, if we if we dive just a little bit deeper here, I'm gonna break some of it down here. Let me just let me just do this real quick. So let me let me just let me just break this down for you, okay? Okay, I'm gonna break this down because this is this is the part that a lot of a lot of us don't get, okay? If you notice Jesus didn't act like God, he acted like a human who was aligned with God. We said, well, he walked on water, so did Peter.

SPEAKER_03 13:01

Well, he healed people, so did the disciples.

Christ Consciousness As Remembering

SPEAKER_04 13:06

The whole point of this was him to show that we could do the same thing. You remember what he said in John 14, 12? Whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do, and greater works than these will he do. Good God, who might I don't think y'all hear what he said. Think about it. If Jesus was a completely separate divine being, why in the world would he say that you and I will do great works greater than him? If he was, if, if, if he was separate in his divinity from you, why is he sitting here telling you, because you take everything else literal, why is he telling you that you're gonna do the same things and do more? Hmm? He wasn't trying to create followers. He's trying to wake you up, he's trying to activate you. He didn't say worship me, he said follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me. You see, that's what people don't realize. When you follow somebody, what are you doing? You are living like them. I am doing it like you. I am walking like you, I am embodying it like you. So here's here's the here's the thing, ready? So here's here's here's why why I'm while I'm getting to this point, okay? So there's a scripture that's super specific, right? John John 10, 30 said, I and the father are one. I and the father are one. I and the father are one. So he just clearly, right? Clearly, he has just created a link. There's no separation between him and God, the source of all, right? Whatever you want to read to it as. But then he refers back to Psalm 82.6 in John 10.34. See, in John 1034, he says, Is it not written in your law that you are gods? See, you see, he pulled he pulled a card on it. Like, didn't y'all say this back in the Old Testament? Didn't you say? So I had to go and I went and looked it up. It says here in John in uh Psalms 82.6, he says, Um, I said you are gods, you are all sons of the Most High. But it wasn't gods with a with a with a with a capital G. It was a God with the with the uh the lowercase G. So here's how we look at. Look at the cells in your body and look at your body right now. See, your body is the big B, the encompassing the whole, right? But then you have the cells inside of you that are too a part of your body, and they are their own little bodies, but with a lowercase B. Those little bodies add up to the big body, but those little bodies aren't any less than the big body because they are a part of the big body. And the issue is that we've been told and you've been told that you were somehow less than everything else because you've been put outside of yourself. So when you look at it, he's trying to remind you that the divinity exists in all of us. He's reminding you of your origin. People don't understand Christ wasn't his last name. Christ wasn't his last name, it was the level of consciousness. It comes from the word Christos, meaning the anointed one. It was a state of being, it was a state of mind. So I was talking to somebody the other day, I said, Why do you think Jesus, the story, he was born to a virgin? He was born to a virgin. So you mean to tell me the Holy Spirit went up and then did some stuff he wasn't supposed to be doing? Because Mary didn't consent to it. She woke up, she talked about why I feel like this. To me, if you do that as a human, you go to jail. You can't do, you know you can't do that. You can't just go in and impregnate somebody and they didn't know they was. What was the whole point of it? It was a metaphor. Metaphysically, it was representing something so much deeper. Purity. Purity, the unconditioned consciousness, a mind that was not shaped by trauma. Do you hear what I'm saying? So here's the difference. Good God Almighty, y'all stay with me. I'm gonna bridge this motherfucker. I'm gonna bring it together right now. If you start realizing the only difference between you and Jesus was that he had remembered and you were remembering. He already remembered, and you were on the path of remembering. And the reason why he already remembered was because he came from a quote-unquote virgin, meaning he came from someone who didn't pass down trauma, who didn't pass down the programs, who didn't pass down all of these uh uh uh limiting beliefs, and he didn't deal with the trauma that caused him to forget his divinity. That's one thing I will learn about everything. All this journey is is a memory, uh, uh, uh, a journey of remembering. We're trying to see how much of ourselves can we really see. And every time that you say self, know that self meant spirit, self meant the Christ inside of you, self meant the part of God that had broken itself off so it could experience itself through this physical reality. That's what the self was. So when we say I'm finding myself, you are remembering that which you are. And this was the story that Jesus was trying to teach you. He's saying, look, I'm already fresh to death. I already came with no trauma. So I'm gonna tell you all not from a place of uh I read it in a book. I'm gonna tell you from a place of experiencing it. So you can go on and do things greater than I. So you can go off and heal these things, so you can go off. And why do you think, oh my goodness, you got me going? Why do you think this story of the demon-possessed boy, when the disciples couldn't do it, he never told them that they couldn't do it because they weren't God? He never said that. He said you couldn't do it because you didn't have the faith. And the reason why you didn't have the faith was because you were moving by what you saw instead of believing it before you seed it. Yeah, I made a word up. You know I made a word up. Seed is a word, but not in that context the way I just used it. You had to seed it. You had to see it already. So here's here's here's my point.

Ego, Matrix, And The Cost Of Waking Up

SPEAKER_00 18:42

When you start to realize that he wasn't any more god than you, that's why he always told you, chill, don't worry. Don't worry. For today will have enough worry of itself. You ain't got nothing to worry about. Doesn't the father take care of the birds? Don't he take care of the fish at the sea? Wouldn't he take care of you? Come on.

The Kingdom Within And Metanoia

Adam, Eve, Duality, And Death

SPEAKER_04 19:08

Why are you worried about what see when you have this divine consciousness, Christ consciousness, you know what you are. You know what you are. So I'm not gonna sit here and be worried about these bills and these man-made things and the Epstein files and what's going on in Iran and all the fighting and all that. I'm not worried about none of that. You know what my job is? My job is in the midst of all this chaos to still remember what and who I am. My job is to make sure that I do not allow myself to be boxed in like I had when I first came into this existence. See, this is what it means to break free break free from the matrix. The matrix was nothing more than a set of programs so that a machine could run autonomously. When you start to think of everything as nothing more than the universal mind, there was a matrix that was created, there was a process, a pr uh program that was created to keep people stuck inside of a uh uh uh a fabricated mind that this society runs off of. But when you break free from it, you start to become a threat to the establishment. Why do you think they had to crucify Jesus? Why do you think? Why do you think the one who turned them in, Judas? Judas, what did Judas get paid? I don't know, he got paid something. He got some money for turning them in. Why do you think? Money the root of all evil. Money is the biggest thing that the ego attaches itself to. So Judas represented the fleshly part of our consciousness. He represented the fleshly part of our consciousness. Why do you think there were 12 disciples? We can get into the astrological of the 12, the 12, uh, what do you want to call it, the 12 zodiac? But what about the the physical, the physiological? What about the 12 cranial nerves that are inside of your brain that are creating this consciousness that's emanating through you right now? When you start to look at it like this, when you start to wake up, you will become a threat. You will be weird. You will be, what are you doing? Why are you doing this? Why are you working on yourself? What is wrong with you? Why are you all venting this? Why are you doing that? Why who you think you are? Who do you and what did Jesus say? What did the Pharisees? The Pharisees looked at him and said, Who are you? Who do you think you are? You know what he said he said? I can just imagine. Maybe he didn't sound like this, but that's what I thought he sounded like. I am who you think I am. Whatever you say, I'm gonna be whatever you think I am, because I'm just a reflection of your perspective. But let me tell you something, child. I ain't holding on to that. Three snaps in a Z formation. I can just imagine Yeshua looking at him like, do you know who I am? Do you know who I am? Motherfucker, do you know what I am? More importantly, have you forgotten what you were? I know good and well. You have probably gotten off. And if you own this right now, you ain't trying to hear nothing I'm saying right now. Have you forgotten what you were? Before you start. Uh-uh, wondering how am I gonna do this? And what have you forgotten what you were? Have you forgotten the divinity that is inside of you? I'm talking about, I'm not talking about like the divinity of like, oh well, when we, me and Carly, when we eat something good, we say, oh my goodness, this is so divine. I'm not talking about that divine. I'm talking about the real divine, the real, the thing that's created this physical plane. I'm talking about that. Do you not realize that you are an extension of it? And there was no separation. There was no difference between you and it. And I know this is this this is this is hard. This is hard for some of us right now. But there's a little part of you right now that this is resonating with. There's a little part of you saying, he got me feeling real uncomfortable right now, but I kind of this sh resonate right now. I don't know. He over here got me sweating because I know good and well. If I go back to Thanksgiving talking like this, they ain't gonna let me sit at the table. If I walk back in that church on Sunday, they may think I'm a heathen. They may think I'm blasphemous. Do you see? So when I say that it was a state of consciousness, why do you think? Why do you think Jesus was always pointing you back inward? He's always pointing you back to yourself. Always. Because he knew the kingdom of God is within you. It wasn't outside of you, it's not in a place called heaven, it was within you. He was constantly redirecting your attention inward. It's a state of consciousness, it's a state of being. You're not going to like become like Jesus by sitting here and reading and memorizing a bunch of scripture. It was by you understanding that there was going to have to be a repentance. Because we already did a podcast on repentance and what repentant, what repent really meant, and how it came from the Greek word metanwa, which means to return, the returning of your mind. Returning of my mind to what? Returning of your mind to your divine nature. That's what. Why do you think when you die, we say she's going home? Because you're returning back to where you came from. This is what the journey was. This is why when Jesus said, when you pray, make sure, or no, he didn't say make sure, our Father who art in heaven, our state of consciousness, who lives on the spiritual plane. Give us this day our daily bread, meaning, do not worry about anything else, because all you have right now is today. So if I were you, worry about that right now. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us of our trespasses, meaning, accept when you have fallen short, except when you may have had a mistake or a mishap, because that too was part of the journey. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us of our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us. See, we forgive others when we accept ourselves. Good God Almighty. When I accept my mistakes, when I accept my mishaps, how much easier it is for me to accept others for their mistakes and their trespasses and their mishaps. Lead us not into temptation, meaning, please do not allow me to succumb to this physical uh carnal urge. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us from evil. Deliver us from evil. Not that evil didn't exist. Evil was a state of mind. It was the dualistic, the negative side of your mind. Deliver us from evil. Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen. Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, on earth as it is in heaven, on earth as it is in heaven. May my spiritual nature show itself on earth as it is in heaven. May my spiritual nature, my divine nature, my part of me that had no limitation, the part of me that had no lack, may that emanate outward. May I show that and through how I embody myself, may somebody look at me and see the Christ within me, not by what I say, but the way I carry myself. And here's the deal: you won't even know it when you see when I carry myself, which is why he said, do not listen to one who says, Lo there, there is the Son of Man, because you ain't gonna know it. It's just gonna be a state of being. So for everybody here, here's my point for you, was for you to remember. Jesus came. The story of Jesus was the story of you. You just had a little bit more work to do. What do we say? Jesus, Jesus was restoring the uh Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve's uh uh uh the sin, right? The original sin, the fall. If you look at it, if you look at it, you ready? Are you ready? Let me break this down for you. Because I ain't never talked about this really, like on a podcast from this level of awareness. If you look at the whole story of Adam and Eve, you really think there was a month, you you really think there was two people just walking around. That was what? So here's the question I asked in church. Well, if Adam and Eve was the first thing, did they come before dinosaurs? Because I heard dinosaurs was millions of years. And this right here is talking about a couple thousands. Now, I don't know math, but how does this work? So humans came and then they were gone and then we came back again. What is this? Why don't we stop thinking about it literally? And you start looking at it metaphorically and representing you. What if this was just a book of psychology? And the masculine and feminine properties, the left and the right hemisphere, the subconscious and the conscious mind were represented in these characters that we call Adam and Eve. Hmm? What if we just did that and they were walking in the garden and they were walking in unison with God? Remember when he said that they were walking in unison with God? It was just them and God, and they were conversing with God, and it was just them walking. But hold up. What if the garden was nothing more than your mind? Because is your mind not where everything grows? Is that not the fertile soil where all your dreams are planted into the soil? And you better be careful what you plant in there, because them weeds grow too. What if that's what it was talking about? And when it was saying there was a fall, they didn't fall like literally, they fell in their state of consciousness because the certain, which in the serpent, which in every religion had showed itself, that even that came before Christian Christianity. The serpent was always the adversary deceiver. When we got to the New Testament, they refer to it as the Hacetan in Hebrew, right? The Hasitan, which means the adversary deceiver. Well, who added who's the who's your biggest adversary in your life right now? Who would you say it is? I know what you're gonna say. You're gonna say it's your boss. You're gonna say it's your ex-husband, you're gonna say it's somebody outside of yourself, but you don't realize the biggest adversary, the only one who really deceives you is that motherfucking ego. That's who's deceiving you. And what is it deceiving you as or for? It's deceiving you that made you think that you were a human before you were a being. It made you think that you were this flesh that eventually will ride away and that you were not this divine, infinite nature being who came here to express itself. See how you're being deceived right now? You really thought that you was your body. You really thought that you was your political affiliation, you really thought that you was your religion, you thought you were your race. So much to the point that you start a war over. You will kill a mother, you will kill another human being and fight another person because they don't believe the same thing that you believe politically. Isn't that some sh? And that's something because you really thought that you were a Republican. You really thought that you was a Democrat. Hmm? You see how this works. So there was the fall when you forgot what you were because the serpent came in, and the serpent, God told him in it. He called, he told him, he said, y'all can do anything you imagine. And this is imagine just the way I'm you know, this is my mind, how I imagine it went. He's like, yo, yo, yo, listen, I got this place, I got the don't trust me, this place is sprawling. We got everything that you ain't gotta worry about nothing that got you. You can do whatever you want. But I only ask if you were this. Please do not eat from that tree right there. The tree of knowledge of good and evil, please don't do it. That's all I ask. But I'm just telling you, if you do, you ain't gonna be able to eat from that tree. You're not gonna have access to that. That's the tree of the tree of life. Okay? The tree of life, you know, all the secrets of the universe. Yeah, I got them locked up in that tree. You can't have access to them. I'm just telling you, if you go over there and mess with that tree, now there's a little snake who's running around here. I purposely put them in here to make sure y'all was on y'all's P's and Q's. Don't fall for it. And I just imagine Eve, like, mm-hmm, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I just want to get out here and see what's going on. I just want to see see what kind of stuff, kind of, what kind of foliage he got in here. So, right, she starts walking around. All of a sudden the snake slips up. Hey, why don't y'all come over here? And Eve's looking around, like, wait, this you the one who told me not to.

SPEAKER_02 30:43

And he's like, Don't worry about it. He'll never know. It's she's like, all right, Adam sleep anyway. Let me go here, Adam sleep. All he do is sleep anyway. I don't know, he's awake is behind up. But anyway, she walks over it, right? And she eats the forbidden fruit.

SPEAKER_04 31:00

The forbidden fruit. And then she's like, dang, this stuff is juicy. You ever taste something and it tastes so good? You like, the first thing's out your mouth was, yo, you gotta taste this. I just imagined that she was, she took a bite of that forbidden fruit. It was so juicy, and she was just, just I don't even know what kind of, I don't know what it was, but it's just rolling out her mouth. She's like, I gotta let this do. I gotta Adam, wake up, Adam, taste this. Adam's like, I don't know what's going on here. See the dang, dang, dang. What is this? Dang, what is this? Dang, this is juicy. She's like, Yeah, I got it from that tree over there. And he looked at her and no, you didn't. I know you didn't. What the what are you are you yo? I went to sleep for five minutes, and literally all you had to do was not go eat from that tree. And now you got me eating it. See how he blaming her? You see, you see now, you see, now he just introduced separation, right? And the snake over here, like, oh so God comes back the next day. God walks in the garden and he's like, Where are these children at? Where's Adam and Eve at? Where are they at? And he looks and they over there hiding behind the bushes. Now God's like, hold on now. Why are you hiding behind the bushes? And they come out and they covering up their naked parts, as my mama would say. Covering up their naked parts, and she and God's like, whoa, hold up. I was here yesterday, and you had everything out, showing everything, and now all of a sudden you hiding it.

SPEAKER_00 32:37

How did you know that you were naked? How did you know that you were separate?

SPEAKER_04 32:45

You ate from that tree, didn't you? You ate from the tree of knowledge. So therefore, you now have introduced duality because I know that cotton, beacon, nappy-headed snake had you eat this, and that snake represented duality. And see now, guess what you've just done? The moment you introduce duality, meaning the ego, you see separation between the Republican and the Democrat, the gay and the straight, the black and the white. Now you're not unified. You're not one. And that's not how I created you. I created you to be one. So now, because of that, you can't have access to the tree of life. And as another consequence, I'm gonna introduce this thing called death. Because now that's the opposite of birth. You see how duality comes? Now you have to deal with this thing called death. But don't worry.

SPEAKER_03 33:43

I'll make it all right here later.

SPEAKER_04 33:45

I'll show you later how to beat death. And then later it's in Jesus, and we like, oh, if I accept Jesus into my heart, and then I'll I'll be saved. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 33:56

No.

SPEAKER_04 33:59

Until you start to go on this journey and remember your divine nature and that which you actually are, and you stop identifying with your name, your religion, your identity, the things that the ego has created so we could have a physical experience. Until you start to do that, you won't be quote unquote accepting Jesus into your heart. But when you do start to accept Jesus in your heart, meaning I don't operate from a place of duality, I start to see that everything plays a part in everything. Everything is so divinely needed. Everything from uh the wars to the the crime to everything, the good thing, everything was all a part of quote unquote God's plan.

Living Peacefully After Accepting Death

SPEAKER_00 34:32

Then I start to see. Oh wow. There was no death. Because that which I actually am can never die. And this is how you beat it. That's why I don't have a fear of death.

SPEAKER_04 34:50

I may leave today. I don't know. I may leave tomorrow. To be honest with you, it's really quite irrelevant to me at this point. I know I'm leaving, and I suggest you know that you're leaving too. So now that I know I'm I'm leaving, I know I'm leaving, I accepted it. Now I can start leave. I can start living now.

SPEAKER_03 35:09

See, it's not until you embrace your death that you start living. Because death has no power over you. So I'm not afraid to go and try some put myself out there and look crazy. Because I know at the end of the day I gotta leave anyway.

SPEAKER_04 35:22

I gotta leave anyway. Guess what? When I get down in the grave, we all equal. We all the same. They say, Oh, he was a billionaire. He broke now that he's dead. He ain't take none of that with him. You see.

SPEAKER_03 35:37

So now I start to realize it wasn't about what you did or what you had in life, it was about how did life feel? How did life feel?

SPEAKER_04 35:50

I asked my daughter last night. I said, if you had to if you had to describe your father, how would you describe him? She said, peaceful. I said, really? I said, okay.

SPEAKER_00 36:05

Okay, well I'll take that.

SPEAKER_04 36:07

She said, calm. Oh, okay. Dang, okay. These are things I strive for, but okay. I appreciate you being a mirror. Uh she said, funny. I said, okay. So I'm not too far off from what I wanted to experience in this life. I'm telling you this. Before I went on this journey to figure out who I am and why I am, I was not these things. I was stressed out. I was worried. Uh literally to the point one time I even had stomach ulcers due to stress. Yeah, no, you I was like, what? Yes. Then I said, you know what? I just want to live life from a state of peace. That's it. I just want to be as quote unquote happy. I want to live from a place of joy. So this is what I made my supreme focus.

SPEAKER_03 36:59

The reason why I'm telling you this is because this is why Jesus named the fruits of the Spirit. Kindness, love, peace, joy.

SPEAKER_04 37:08

Right? All these things are inside of you already. But as long as you keep thinking that it's outside of you, and you have to go to a place to receive the blessings to be able to. It's inside of you. It's inside of you. It's there. It's not something that you have to go and look for, you just have to realize it. It's always been there. That's the beauty of being a human. You get to unlock it. Think about this. I can be different today than I was this time last year. Oh my goodness. I can unlock, and here's the deal. Because I'm unlocking something that's infinite, that means there's no stopping it. So, this is my whole point today. This wasn't about religion. That's not what this was about. This really wasn't even about Jesus. It was about you. It was about you remembering what you were. It was about you waking up despite what the world may say. The world's gonna say that you otherwise. I'm only speaking from experience. I know for a fact, everyone I encounter, I'm dealing with God in the flesh. Every animal, when I when I give my dog, when I hug him and I kiss him and I pet him, I know that I'm experiencing God in the form of his four-legged friend. When I look at him in his eyes, I just stare at him. Why do you think it's so powerful when you look yourself in the mirror? Why do you think it's so powerful? Just go start staring at yourself in the mirror. Just do it. Just like un like just stare at yourself in the mirror. You'll see, like, oh my goodness, this is amazing.

unknown 38:40

Wow.

SPEAKER_03 38:42

And this is what it was about.

SPEAKER_04 38:45

So, as always, you know, I wish you nothing but the best on the pathway to your results.
