Soul Navigation in a Digital Age

The digital age promises connection yet delivers isolation for countless people drowning in information while starving for meaning. In this profound episode, Dr. Douglas James Cotrell and co-host Les Hubert explore the spiritual crisis lurking beneath our technological abundance.

We begin by examining the paradox of modern loneliness—how constant digital stimulation creates a restless mind that cannot settle into spiritual reflection. Drawing from decades of spiritual practice, Dr. Douglas reveals how meditation works not through rigid postures but by quieting what he calls the "monkey mind" to access the steady, purposeful "elephant mind." This transition allows us to tap into deeper wisdom and even access other dimensions of consciousness.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn with Les sharing his encounter with Kasim Hafiz, a former jihadist whose journey toward peace began with simply questioning what he'd been taught. This powerful story illustrates how truth-seeking can transform even the most deeply held beliefs when approached with an open heart.

The hosts also explore Antarctica's mysteries, including recent discoveries of structures beneath the ice and unexplained radio signals, before discussing Claude Monet's artistic vision as a form of spiritual perception. Dr. Douglas suggests that true artists access other realms of consciousness, bringing back visions that the rest of us can only glimpse through their work.

Throughout the episode, practical wisdom emerges: the importance of distinguishing between wants and needs, how to escape the slavery of debt, and understanding that our responsibility extends only to "arm's length"—focusing on what we can control while surrendering the rest. For those feeling adrift in our hyper-connected yet spiritually disconnected world, this conversation offers a compass to navigate back to authentic connection with yourself and others.

Welcome to Wake Up with Dr. Douglas James Cottrell, your source of helpful information and advice, to live your life in a mindful way in this increasingly chaotic world. For over four decades, Dr. Douglas has been teaching people how to develop their intuition, live their lives in a conscious way. News and views of the world tomorrow today are always informative and revealing. And now is your host, Dr. Douglas James Cottrell.

Douglas: 0:31

Hey everybody, good evening. And we're here to bring you some more exciting information. My co-host Les Hubert and I. I'm your host, Douglas James Cottrell. We're here, and our backup in the back room is the Wizard of Oz, uh Jack, who's pulling all the levers and pressing the buttons to make this show come live to you tonight. Uh we want to talk to you about a lot of things tonight. Very interesting stories, what's going on? Les has had some wonderful experiences in the last evening. Some really amazing stuff has happened to him. And tonight we're going to step back into the unknown. We're going to talk about that chilly place. And I'm not talking about South America, I'm talking about Antarctica. We're going to have a look at that. We're also going to look at Claude Monet, who is a very well-known. However, he's passed into the history of history books, but his life and times are having an impression upon us today. Tonight we step back, we look ahead, we look for the headlines tomorrow, today, and we're above and beyond the noise and into a place where insight is live and thrives. From uh everything you want to know to everything we can provide for you, we're here tonight on the Soul Report Live. So if this is your first time, welcome to the family. Uh be sure to like, follow, and subscribe if you're watching or listening to this show tonight. It's broadcast live for you with the intent to lift your spirit and to send out waves of truth to you, my friends, in this time of chaos. Welcome to the show, Les. It's great to see you tonight. I trust you had a good week. Things are going well. Tell me, you had an exciting um moment or experience in uh Princeton, I think, which is in Province, Rhode Island, for our friends around the country. And we're going to get to that in a minute. But I mean, did you go to sleep last night? It was so exciting, or you know, what you told me was amazing.

Les: 2:32

Yeah, it was pretty interesting. Uh, we're going to start off tonight's show uh with our spiritual segment called Loneliness and Isolation in a Connected Age. Despite constant digital connectivity in uh today's modern world, many people feel morally and spiritually isolated and depressed. Today's culture shows that omestimulation and restlessness also actively work against the serenity and inner depth needed for spiritual reflection. Many would see this as boredom. Many are not even looking. Tons of data show that past generations did not have this problem. So, how do we get back to where we're supposed to be being connected spiritually with ourselves and with each other, Doug?

Douglas: 3:10

Agricultural life. As Lauren Hardy used to say. Oh, look, I email, oh, I've got to do this, and I've got to come to see that uh Soul Report live show on Mondays. You know, I gotta, I I gotta, I gotta, I gotta. So um, you know, the more we uh I can't I think you can put it something like this. I once handed my father when I was in my uh early 20s a calculator. It was super uh, you know, it's kind of kind of like ancient history. I know it's like rocks we're talking about, but but back in the day I handed him a calculator. It was battery operated, and you could press buttons and it would it could do all the arithmetic, but it also could do other things. Logarithm, square root, whatever, you know, uh nothing fancy. And I handed it to him because he was a businessman and he used to do his arithmetic uh in his you know long form on a pad and in his mind. And he didn't want anything to do with it. You know, no, I don't want that. I was like, what? You know, this cost me $10 or whatever it was at the time. No, I didn't want any part. I said, look, you can press the buttons and write, add things up. Don't make it, no, no, I don't want any part of it. What he didn't want to do was to learn about this mechanical, mysterious device that somehow you could press buttons and it would keep on adding up, like an old and you know, the ending machine used to put the buttons in and pull a lever. I know that's for people, what pull levers? I know I press buttons? What's that all about? So I don't mean to date ourselves or myself, but back in the day that was considered nouveau technology. Anyway, so from that, that always stuck with me. And I find uh I felt, but that it's it's gonna be labor-saving and help you. Human nature hasn't changed much. When somebody comes to me and they say, Hey, Bitcoin this and Bitcoin that, and oh, get this app. And oh, by the way, you can do this other thing, it cleans up your phone for your duplications of your videos and whatever. And here's another app. It'll tell you, it'll tell you how many how many subscriptions you're paying for to how many apps that you never use or don't know anything about. So that analogy of my father not wanting to embrace uh new technology that was beyond what he would consider reasonable, uh, falls into my lap now. And I think for a lot of people, I mean the idea is that do you meditate, my friends? No, you're always on the go, something to do. You know, creation said that God rested on the Sabbath, the seventh day. That doesn't mean that God took time out and was, you know, down at the beach, wherever that is, in the in the atmosphere, in the uh in the uh galaxies, it meant that you have to clear your mind, you have to distract yourself, otherwise your mind continues to um cannibalize itself, you're constantly absorbing thoughts, and so while you're in sitting in front of a computer and while your mind's racing at warp speed, you are becoming exhausted, and then you're becoming depressed because the oxygen in your body is being gobbled up, the hemoglobin is getting less and less, you're feeling tired, and so then you've fallen into that point of gee, you know, I'm having naps more often. Yeah, we we get that, you know, you get past 50, 60. When you get around 65, 75, naps are a good thing. However, younger people are exhausted, and so to answer the question is uh, you know, as I as I was humorously saving, an agricultural life. It means getting back to nature, hugging a tree. By the way, there's this new stuff about magnets and copper wire, and apparently they can measure that electricity comes from a tree. And I've seen an aura around a tree, it's beautiful, it's like about that thick, it's all around the leaves and the tree because the tree is a living entity or living force. So when you go and you hug it, you're actually getting some of this electrical charge. I know it's out there, people are talking about magnets and copper wire wrapped around a stick and you stick it in the ground and it energizes the ground. It really works. I've tried it. It really does. So talk to somebody about that, and they go like, I don't think so. I don't think so. Um, I still, you know, like the I like to peel my potatoes. I don't like to get them in a package, you know, that kind of stuff. So as we go through this time, I'm I hope I'm getting to the point, which is that when you're when you're in a crowd and you feel all alone, that's how people are living in today's uh warp speed life. Remember, I say you live your life outside the house, you spend your life inside the house. So you you're you're supposed to be outside the house. You're not supposed to come into the house at any time other than when the weather's so bad that you have to. Right, right. That's how it used to be. So to answer your question, the point is that do you take time out, my friends? You know, drop us a note in in the uh chat and and tell us about how you try to relax. If you do, I'll bet you most people don't. You're on the go all the time. And as you do that, you become susceptible by information overload, just like my dad with the calculator. And I I quite frankly, when somebody comes along and said, Hey Douglas, look, chat GPT, hey, there's AI, hey, there's this, hey, there's that. I go, hold it. I've had enough. Douglas, you can get an app and you can get somebody who's going to give you investment and you can put money in and it makes money all by itself. I don't believe that. I hope it's really good luck, you know. But apparently there are such things. You put money in and it makes pennies on a dollar or something. I don't know. But the idea is getting back to the point. Um, how many times have you found yourself in a in a crowd, my friends, and you're you're you've had bad news, or perhaps you've just been let go from a job, or you know, you got dumped, right? Or there's been a death, your spouse has passed away, um, some tragic thing has happened to your family or your friends, or something you never expected happened to you. Oh my god, whatever that was. You're alone. Where are you alone in your head? You're surrounded by people, but you're oblivious, they're oblivious to you, I should say. And you're alone, and you have this world of thoughts, depressing, disabling, feeling lonely and isolated. Well, that can go on for days and days and days. And sometimes people who are in a family, especially uh a wife or somebody taking care of the family, taking care of the adult kids, taking care of the grandkids and the kids in the same house, they're a ghost in a house. They're into depression, dematic depression, some form of depression. They're uh they're living, walking zombies, if you will. And so, how is that possible when all you've got to do is press on an app, pick up the phone, turn on the computer, get an iPad. Well, first of all, you have to be understanding how that all works. And everybody's paranoid about the scammers, they're gonna get my information and they're they're gonna get my email and my wipe out my bank account, which happens, it happens because they're really nasty people out there. So, again, another layer of isolation. What it comes down to is this do you have a friend? I mean, somebody you can just go and hang out with. You don't have to rush off somewhere, you don't have to say, okay, I've got 15 minutes, or I got I got I got home by you know quarter two. You can say, What's new? Nice dress, yeah. What do you think about those clouds? How many times have you looked up and said, What the heck is going? Look at that dragon going through the cloud out there. Oh my gosh. No, instead, we're talking about the cloud that's in this thing, the computer. And I'm making a prediction, I've made it before. The cloud is gonna lock up one day. It's going to lock up, and everything you have on the cloud. Watch out, Eric Trump, or whatever his last name is. I understand he's a stepson. Uh, whatever's gonna happen, when you have everything in the cloud, it's gonna be lost. And he's big into crypto, that's where that remark comes from. Uh Eric's not 98% of his business in the crypto, I'm told, or the report said, God bless him. I hope he makes uh a gazillion dollars, which apparently is. So long and the short of it is be prepared, make friends. We've talked about this before. The pathway between two friends, if it's not well traveled, grows up with weeds in it. And how many times left? I bet you can count on one hand as well as I could, the people used to be really close to, and you hardly ever talk to them again. They went their way, you went your way, and for whatever, that's how life is. And then you say, whatever happened to, as we were talking about before the show, somebody we used to know from 20 years ago. 20 years? That's a long time. Looking forward, yes, looking back, it's yesterday. So if you're out there, my friends, let us know how you are dealing with your sanity. Do you meditate for 20 minutes a day? No, it'll have to be hours, just small times, 20 minutes a day. Do you go to a movie? Do you walk in the park? Do you go watch the little kids playing soccer in the in the field? You know, the teeny tiny guys, five years old, they're like, you know, the herd instinct chasing that ball. It is so funny to watch that. Do you watch birds flying through the air? Do you watch, you know, uh you ever wonder? Look at a bumblebee going from plant to plant and say, I never saw these bees in the backyard, but look how many there are, you know, my gosh. And they don't stop, they they tend to hit every flower. Do you are you curious? I guess is the is the point. Are you curious about life? Or are you fed up with it already? Are you in debt? Way in debt, because uh debt is the most, well, it's modern day slavery.

Les: 14:26

Oh yeah. Yeah, they say most people in the country are in debt, terribly in debt.

Douglas: 14:31

Right. So, how to get out of debt? There are ways and means. Number one is don't cut up those credit cards. I'm not gonna tell you that silly stuff. I'm gonna say put them out of your reach, and then try to say to yourself, Do I do I really need that pair of running shoes, sports jacket, you know, fancy t-shirt, $75. No, I don't. And that's one of the things that wealthy people ask themselves all the time. Do I need it or do I want it? Right.

Les: 15:03

Yeah.

Douglas: 15:04

And if they want it, that means it's a negative cash flow because they're gonna buy it, take it home, and put it in the closet, never look at it again. If it's uh something they need, they're gonna put it on and use it because it's necessary. So whether it's another car, another house, or a hat, you have to ask yourself on the way to wealth, do I need it or do I want it? Can I do without it? How much money do I have? How much money do I have in savings? Okay, savings are like your your 911 health kit in the future. The savings are going to give you a comfortable life when you're my age. If you don't have any savings, you're going to be working when you're 70 or 75 for minimum wage. So all these things are doing what? They're collecting you, they're giving you a critical mass to answer the question, Less. You know, can you be alone in a crowd? Yes. Can you be alone in your thoughts and in your heart when you're feeling sad? Yes, it's part of human nature. So, how do you get yourself out of it? You are responsible for your own happiness, my friends. No one else. And if you don't believe that, you're going to find out the hard way when you're alone in a crowd. Sooner or later, all your friends will be gone. By way of moving away, by natural causes, by other means. Sometimes, believe it or not, I just this never happens to me. Ha ha ha. I I have people who used to be my friends that aren't anymore. What a shocker that is. What did I do? Well, they had enough of me, and it was like adios amigo. And I go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what? Okay, I'm being funny. But the point is that you have to learn how to live with yourself, to be a friend to yourself, right? To love yourself, and then you won't be alone because you'll be able to deal with people, and most importantly, you won't be a people pleaser. You'll be able to say no. You'll do what you want to, not do things out of obligation because somebody else has imposed upon you. And as you have that integrity, you are taking your life back.

Les: 17:24

And it's uh there was uh I was reading an article by this, he's called a happiness professor. Uh his professor, Arthur C. Brooks, uh out of Harvard. He also writes for The Atlantic. And he claims that he said people are so uh they're so afraid of being bored, so they're constantly being distracted. They're going to the I I do it myself sometimes. If I have five minutes, I'll go to my phone. And I'm like, wait a minute. And I remember years ago when I first started, you mentioned uh, thank you for mentioning uh meditation because one of the my mother got us into it because she suffered from chemical depression and it cured her depression. Meditation cured her. Uh and then she, I said, wow, if it can help my mom, you know, it can help me. So we got into it. And you know, we're going to be talking later on about this artist, uh, Claude Monet, very world-famous artist. Uh, there was another artist, I don't know if you're familiar with him, his name is John Harris. He's a prolific science fiction illustrator. Uh, he did many, many, many paperback books. And his stuff, when you look at his stuff, Doug, it's you you would swear that this man had visited these places. And when they asked him, how can you paint so prolifically? He said, I meditate. And he said, I learned to do this through, he said, I would see these things as if I were there. He said, So I could then put them on canvas. And when you look at his stuff, you go, wow. And uh, the Harvard professor, Arthur C. Brooks, he says, you know, when we do meditate and we have these moments of just stillness, he said, it unlocks a great amount of creativity and it activates a powerful brain network that might be a protection against depression. This is the Harvard professor, so they're even admitting it at Harvard, no, this is actually working. Uh and you mentioned agriculture. So, you know, I have a lot of clients that get they're getting now into farming, they're actually converting their backyards into growing vegetables. And I asked them, how are you doing? They said, We love it. It's like calming, it's soothing, it grounds us, and we're growing stuff, and we're actually eating the stuff we grow. So I guess uh there are ways to get back that we don't really think of today.

Douglas: 19:14

Well, my comment about agriculture: when you put your hand, you immersed your hands in the soil. My mentor Ross Peterson said that my wife ought to do that because she would get what would be a healing. And now with the grounding uh accepted, you know, the theory about grounding being good for you, walking around without shoes on the ground is really healthy for you. Walking around with shoes all the time is not healthy for you. Okay, so get over it, walk out on the grass. And you know, when people you get on the grass or down by the by the seashore, what do you what's the first thing you do? You bend your toes and you kind of massage the soles of your feet. That's how you avoid plantar fasciitis. Oh, that's a great that's that's a great evil for anybody who's ever had it, they know what I'm talking about. For those people who haven't, they haven't got a clue, but someday you will. However, plantar fasciitis, put that on the the on the on the uh on the no-no list, avoid at all costs, kind of thing. So getting back to getting back to meditation, we know chemical changes occur in your body when you meditate. Okay, when you meditate, when you're when your conscious mind, they call it the monkey mind, is all over the place. It's like making a fist. Oh, you know what happens when you make a fist? The circulation in your hand goes away. Oh, and what happens after a while? Your hand gets numb, it gets tingly, and then when you pry it open, because you have to, it hurts. That's the same for your entire body. Oh your entire body is in knots. People say, Oh, my stomach's a knots, oh my back's a knots, oh blah blah blah. It's true because when your muscles tighten up and you don't even know it, remember the arteries go through the muscles. Lass knows that he's a master at his trade in massage and misuse, and that cuts the circulation off. And when you cut off the circulation, it's like, hey, look, he's got a he hit his head and he's bleeding from the head. Quick, get the tourniquet, put it around his neck. Stops the bleeding, but it kills you. So the longer the shorter it is that chemical changes occur when you're meditate. Getting back to an artist who's painting futuristic views, like the ones behind me are you less. These are people when he says, you know, I meditate and I feel like I've been there. Well, you were. We call that soul travel, we call that remote viewing, we call that mind projection. Those are all terms that when you first hear them, you go like, Well, mind projection, what is that? I mean, my mind's in my head, you know. No, it's not. Your brain is in your head, your mind is all around your consciousness. However, you can transport yourself like in a dream. And people who uh paint futuristic views, I'm convinced, even though they might not agree, that they are touching upon the soul energy, they are casting their thoughts, their mind, their vision beyond the present moment, and they're seeing amazing things. And as they do, wow, they write them down, they they sketch them out really fast so they don't forget it, and they dream about things and they create it. And of course, as your mind, which goes out at random access, starts to be focused into direct focus or direct access, you're going to keep going back to those pleasant places, those planes and dimensions above us. That's why to learn about soul travel, mind projection, remote viewing, astral traveling, all those names are referring to what? Not your physical body's going anywhere. It's it's stuck, it's it's dense, it sits on a chair or lays on the floor or walks, you know, you're you're stuck. You walk on the ground. But your mind, in a moment, as you train yourself, my friends, you can zoom out, grab some information, and come back in, not warp speed, but something that's much faster and go much further. The speed of thought. But the monkey mind has to be controlled, it has to be set of random access, it has to be brought down, going to sleep almost. And then that other mind, it's much more powerful, we call that the elephant mind, is able to go straight and steady without distractions. So, as such, you pick up information. Your mom found that it calmed her down because she was having a chemical difficulty when she was meditating. Guess what? The thyroid wasn't all uptight, the pancreas wasn't tight, the liver and the other organs in the endocrine system were balancing and secreting hormones, and chemically, you're balanced again. That's why the sound of ohm or vowel sounds or musical sounds or tuning forks or those singing bowls are all important because they're putting a vibration out, and your body is like a tuning fork, it's a receptive thing, it starts to vibrate at that frequency. And as such, you kind of go like, wow, that feels good. Where'd that come from? Well, the frequencies that are going through our body all the time these days from the internet. How many satellites do we have beaming down at us now? Yeah, just a minute. I used to make fun of people who would put on those, you know, tinfoil hats. You know, it might be time to try it out. Little pointy ones. Absolutely. Get the little antennas on, you'll pick up some of that shadowy energy from the earth. But anyway.

Les: 25:39

Well, that's interesting because you know, it's I remember reading an article by um it was a statement that I think the the great uh person uh whose name is Yogananda. Uh he mentioned something about they asked him, they said, What's the you know, what's the best way to meditate? And he said, if you notice whatever you're doing when you really love something, time becomes irrelevant. It just like flies. He said, That's a natural form of meditation. You just get lost in what you're doing. I never realized that. I thought meditation had to always be a verbal sounding mantra, but uh obviously not.

Douglas: 26:09

I uh disagree and I have lots of respect for our friends in faraway places who believe sitting with your legs crossed, with making little symbols with your hands and saying om, om, om while your back is killing you. Remember a couple of weeks ago, the origin of the term om came from oh, ow, ooh, ow. Remember? Very true, yeah. I used to hate meditation class. Exactly. That's not meditation, that's vegetation because you're stuck in the physical. I mean, teachers, God bless them, uh are attempting to teach you to overcome the physical pain, the carnal influences, the desires of the flesh. Well, when I get hungry, I gotta have a hot dog. I'm sorry. I don't eat hot dogs much. But anyway, the long and the short of that is the answer is when you're in what I call the ever-present moment, it's the same thing. Now, spiritual teachers will always teach you the basic, fundamental, spiritual, practical aspects of your spiritual being and the practical disciplines, if you will, or they'll be able to tell you and demonstrate and inform you and teach you something like that in the spiritual world. That's a true master, true teacher, Robert, if you will. So, what is he saying? Well, when you're having fun and time goes by real fast, you are in that ever-present moment. It's kind of like you know, you're driving along, and all of a sudden you're like, Oh my god, how'd I get here? Just driven 10 blocks and you don't remember. Yeah, oh God. Well, that's where you find out about this thing called the subconscious mind or the super subconscious mind, because it's in total control of the vehicle while your mind's out lally gogging on to the universe or having a romantic interlude with somebody, or remembering some wonderful place where you had a nice meal, or where you're going, something, something, something. But it's like walking down the beach and you look back over your shoulder and you realize you've been walking for five or ten minutes and you have no comprehension of taking those steps. You look back, there's the footsteps in the sand as far as you can see. And you know, how did that happen? You're in what is open-eyed meditation, you're in conscious meditation, you are allowing your mind to go into an alpha state or other brainwave down lower while you're walking along. And did you know? You probably heard of this before because so wise last. Back in the day when uh when the samurai soldiers used to go to battle, they would walk all night in a state of I'm gonna use this word, hypnosis, which is another word for mesmerism, which is another word for meditation. And as they were walking along at night, they were sound asleep. Wow. So the next morning when they arrived at the battlefield, they woke up ready for battle, they were rested, even though they had been walking all night long. Those are true stories, and you go back and you talk to the teachers who talk about the you know, samurai and ancient warfare, they'll tell you about this ability. So, uh metaphysically speaking, and the understanding of uh meditation is not what you're told it is, it's what you naturally do. Like when you just sit there at the computer, you're maybe gonna play some you know, sneak on at a game of solitaire or something, and all of a sudden a thought comes in your head, and it's the answer to the question or concern you have. You've been in and Meditate a meditative state, a state of alpha, a state of altered consciousness, altered consciousness, somewhere away from the monkey mind, somewhere closer to the elephant mind, but in control. And you'll feel good about it. You'll say, I mean, there are geniuses that sit there and they create things all day long. How do they do that? Well, their conscious mind is on this side, pressing the buttons, using the mouse, and their other mind, almost like their amidex, is out visiting realms far and near. And they don't know the way. I mean, you know, there's no maps in the spiritual world, by the way, my friends. If anybody says to you, you know, talk about your blueprint in life and stuff, anybody says to you, yeah, I I got there's a map you can find your way to the higher realms, to the the tree of life, to uh the astral planes, to uh um you know the Akashic records or the Akashic field that's now popular as popular, they're not telling you the truth because there is no path.

Les: 31:04

Uh-huh.

Douglas: 31:05

How does how does you you know less wow? This could be a riddle. Okay, everybody, you believe you have thoughts. Oh, yeah, I have thoughts all the time. All right, tell me this. Where did they come from? And where did they go? And when you have a bunch of thoughts together, you have a train of thoughts. How did that happen? George Carlin, right? So the point is, like, we don't understand even how we think, we just know we think. We know we have thoughts because they change so fast. Can you slow down? Can you have one thought at a time? Matter of fact, that's the only time you can have a thought is one at a time. Think about that, how profound that is. And you heard it first here on the slow report.

Les: 32:04

So I've got a quick question for you. So, why is it when they say you have a problem, sleep on it? And lo and behold, you wake up and you go, Eureka, I've got the answer. How does that happen? Hey.

Douglas: 32:18

As the godfather would say, Hey, give me a I want to tell you something, Sonny. Well, when you go to sleep, what are you doing? You're changing your mind, you're washing your mind, you're putting your mind at rest. In other words, all the worries and the distractions in the monkey mind. I mean, there are people who teach how to meditate that you cleanse the mind, you silence the mind, you calm the mind. And that's their big that's it, that's their big lesson. It's just to calm yourself down so you're not distressed, distracted, running a running amok. Okay, that's a good thing. That's a good place to start, it's not the end of it all. But so when you go to sleep and you think about what happens? Well, when you sleep and you dream at least four dreams every night, mostly you don't remember them, like one or two or maybe more. What happens? Well, out here behind me is where all thoughts live. Oh, it's called the Akashic Field or the Akashic Record or the library. And what happens is when you have, let's say you have a problem where you need to bake a cake, and you've never done it before, or you want to create a new kind of cake, a different cake, a special cake, and you rack your mind. You go, How can I how can I how can I? Well, you go to sleep, and next morning you wake up and you say, Raisins. Raisins and cake? Why, why didn't I think of that before? That's a very good idea. And what you've done is you went out here to right over here, I think, you know, somewhere there's a little place where all the bakers who've passed on, they're kind of hanging out there in the baker's realm. And so you find your way to this place where all the bakers are, and you say, Hey, uh, I don't know how to make a cake that well. My cakes usually lean over a little bit, or they're kind of, you know, but I want to have something special for my friend. And so you're giving up, you know, got a big baking soda, a little sugar, you know, a little honey in it, and some special raisins, put the raisins in a bowl, let them um, I'm gonna say marinate, but let them suck up a bowl of water and get nice and plump, and then you put them in at the last minute, and you stir them up and put them in the fruit in the stove in the oven so that they at the last minute they're nice and moist, they don't explode or bake or whatever. And and you come by and say, Why did I think of that before? Oh my god. I know everybody's saying, Douglas, do you make cakes? No, I don't, but I'm just tuning in to wherever those bakers are, and those images I just told you were coming to my mind one after the other. That's a form of meditation, but that's the way it works. Even if you have a problem with your car, the thing is there's no roadmap, there's no doors that you go and knock on, and and there's no people standing there, you know, with signs this way to the dream fix your car place. You go there because you have an issue. You're focusing your mind, and you're going to that place where that knowledge exists. Now, I'm kind of making fun when I say all the bakers live in one place. I the motorcycle enthusiasts live in another, and the guys with the black jacket motorcycles they live in another, maybe live in the basement, I don't know, but these these guys they live in different this consciousness lives in different places, exist, I should say. It always did. You know, when somebody comes up with an invention, they didn't invent it, it already existed somewhere, they just figured it out, they just saw it, but the invention was already there. Before somebody invented uh invented electricity, right? Right sin, whatever, Westinghouse. Well, electricity was already there. It wasn't like they created something, they just discovered it. And as such, that's what you have to keep in mind, my friends, that when you go to sleep on things or when you lay down and meditate on something, you are letting your mind drift out to where that that that critical mass of thought exists and you're tapping into it. It's kind of like Google, you know what I mean? You know, you go into Google and you say, Tell me about Antarctica, and all of a sudden, this information comes up about Antarctica. Well, where did that come from? Where is that information? How many of us who do a Google search care about where it exists? Who put it there? Is it you know we don't care, just give me that information. So that's how it is, last. When you when you uh sleep on something, your mind goes out, especially when you really, really need to know something. That's when you're focused and might take a little effort. Don't try too hard because when the heart, you know, it's like squeezing your fist, right? Let it go. Open your hand, and it comes in your hand. If if you have your hand squeezed, nothing can come in it, but you open it up, it comes. So the one the short of that is that you can get stuff anything. Remember this always, my friends. This is what I started my metaphysical life with because my sherry, my daughter Sherry, had issues, she was in an institution. Nobody could tell us what to do. In my mind, I always thought something could be done, but everybody said she's having convulsions. Give her medication, get on with your lives. Worst decision I made. I'm gonna take that responsibly for myself. My wife was brokenhearted when Cherry went to the institution. Back in the day, it was called the home. But in any event, she was there for four years until this guy met Ross Peterson. And I met Ross Peterson through somebody at the Toronto Star newspaper giving me a book about Edgar Casey. It's called There is a River. And I read that, and then now I had hope. Now there's gotta be somebody like Ross, like Edgar Casey. And one day went upstairs, turned on the TV without any effort, thinking, other I was robotically doing. And there on the program was the great famous uh intuitive Ross Peter Peterson from Flint, Michigan. And right away we gotta see this man. And not too long later, guess what? Sherry came home because he told us in that moment of meditation all the things that were wrong, but in specifically that her neck was the bones in her neck were putting pressure on the brainstem. That's why she was having convulsions.

Les: 39:08

Wow.

Douglas: 39:09

Brought her home, met Don Vigiani, a famous uh chiropractor. One session and no more convulsions. Wow. Yeah. So how many how many times does that happen? Is that a random chance? No, I've helped many people along the way with children like that, as you have in your therapy less. And so everybody finds, if you know, well, you don't know, but if you expect to find a solution, there is an alternative, just takes a while to find it, but it's already there. That's called faith. You have to believe that the solution is already there, the answer is already there, and how you get it? Well, rein in that monkey mind, get that elephant mind, keep going, non-stop, unafraid, and you'll get that answer. Somewhere out there, there's an answer to every question, there's an answer to every disease that we call incurable. What it should do, you say, is we have a disease that we haven't yet found the remedy for. That's the right answer. It's not incurable. Remember, words have power, my friend. It's not incurable because how many thus, you're a medical guy. How many times have you heard, oh, look, a new discovery? Some un incurable incurable disease has been obliterated. It's it's fixed. Well, if it's incurable, how could you find a remedy for it? All right.

Les: 40:37

Yeah, that's great. All right. Well, after a short break, we will be back with news and views, and I will share my story of Kasim Hafiz. He was a jihadist who became a Zionist. Pretty interesting.

Douglas: 40:49

Wow, I can't wait to hear that. We're right back.

Douglas: 41:48

It's great. What happened? What what was it like last night?

Les: 42:02

Uh well, a friend of mine, she's uh her name is Shoshana, and uh she's uh she's a singer. Anyway, she uh she's an active uh in her in her um faith. And she sent me, she said, would you like to see because she knows I keep track of world news and things like that. And she said, I have this friend of mine, his name is Kasim Hafiz. He was originally from Pakistan. He now lives here in the United States, and he was at one time a jihadist, a terrorist, and he converted to Zionism. I said, How? She said, Well, if you want to find out, show up at the at his lecture. I said, I'd love to. So I brought a couple of friends with me, and we sat there, and I was amazed at the amount, I didn't expect it. There was a lot of security there. They were expecting a lot of trouble. And we did have about 20 protesters who showed up. They were peaceful, but they were making their you know their message known. And hey, you know, there's free speech, so let him go. Uh, but uh Kasim was a very unusual man. He was raised in Pakistan. Uh, and his story goes something like this. He was uh brought into the Islamic faith. He was, but he was a rat, he was very radicalized. Uh and he um was very active uh in being uh anti-Zionist until one day somebody gave him a book uh that was written, I think, by Alan Dershwitz called A Case for Israel. So he read it, he said, This is great. I'm gonna just prove that Zionism is wrong and we're on the right, and I'll prove it through this book. And he said, I sat down and read the book, and he was like, hmm, this is interesting. I it brought it made him start thinking in a different way. He said, Well, the only way I can prove this, I have to go to Israel. Because, you know, this could all be lies. So I have to prove it to myself in all good conscience. I'm gonna go to Israel. And he he he brought in a lot of humor into it as well. Uh God bless him. Uh, and he said, you know, they uh at the time, you know, he was now living in uh in England, and uh he said, they tell him, you know, when you're traveling to Israel, they have heightened security. So when you encounter security, please be honest. So he got there and uh he said, I was honest with security. He said, Well, you know, why are you here? And he said, I'm here to inspect your country to make sure that uh to to to prove myself right. He said, Well, that ended up with about an eight-hour stay with security.

Douglas: 44:06

Finding all about the country and how safe for it.

Les: 44:10

But he was there for quite a while and he realized that he said, He said, We were lied to. And he said, This is they're nothing like they present the that they were presented to be. He said, What have I been doing with my life? He said, This is what's going on. He said he had more in questions. You can tell he's a very intelligent man. A little strange listening to a man who looked very Middle Eastern, uh, with a British accent. I didn't expect that. Beautiful British accent. Yeah. Uh he's now residing in the United States, by the way. Uh, so he went back to his family. Uh, he also went back to Pakistan, and he was he said, Listen, we we were wrong, but this is something, there's something going on here. We've been lied to. And they wouldn't hear none of it. He said, Well, if you don't believe me, go to Israel yourself. Prove me wrong. He said, There's something, there's a lot of miscommunication here. I don't, I'm not sure what's happening. He said, the long and short of it was he said, I was disowned by my family. He said, but I became really interested in you know, truth and justice. And he said, This is wrong. He said, These people were not the evil, horrible people that we were taught to be uh to to hate. Um, and he said, and on my mission, he said he's in the media now, and he said, and my mission is to just educate people and say, you know, go there, listen, encounter the people yourself, see it for yourself. Don't believe the media, either he said, I don't care what side of the media you're on, left or right. He said, go there yourself and educate yourself. Uh and there is a matter of fact, he belongs to an educ uh a situation now, a um uh a business where they actually pay for your plane ticket to go there, they'll actually pay for your trip so you can see for yourself. Uh, so he was a very interesting man to speak with, but um the uh it was a shame how he was just totally written off by his entire family. He paid a very high price. I was just like uh he was mentioning the um uh his father was one of the co-founders of Hamas. Uh he was he was gonna be the he was the crown prince, and now he's living here in the United States, and he was he was also brainwashed by his people. And uh he said, you know, I was wrong. Uh and so he's been totally disowned. He's trying to spread the message. You know, we can all get along. It's just who is spreading the disinformation? Who is spreading the lies? He said, because we're all the same people. He said, we all bleed red, we all have a have a right to be here. Uh but he said there's so much, he said, the trouble is there's so much misinformation out there. People are being, they're just jumping the gun and learning how to hate. And he said, There's really no reason for it. When you understand the truth, the truth will set you free. So it's a very interesting, beautiful experience. Um uh, but he's he discussed some you know disturbing trends that are still out there. But he said, this is nothing new, this has been going on for centuries and centuries. He said, I don't know. He said, I'm doubtful if we'll ever get rid of it because every generation has a challenge with it.

Douglas: 46:42

How old a man is he?

Les: 46:44

He's in his forties, he's about 42 right now. Uh very well spoken, very well educated. Uh but he he started in Pakistan, he moved to British British, uh, the British Isles. He said, The faith, funny thing about being in Britain, he said, you know, you move there and he said, you never feel as if you're a British person. He said, because the the he said, we my grandfather, he said, worked for a British company for his entire life and he never spoke any English. He said, we never assimilated. And he said, I'm not sure why. He said, I think it was both ends. He said it was partly my culture and partly the European culture. He said, because the European culture, we we didn't really feel like we fit in. Uh I said, so then he said he I wanted to go to, he said, I wanted to experience more Western civilization. So I went to Canada. And then he said, and then I finally came to the United States. And he said, the United States is a he said is a very unique country. He said, because you truly feel you are an American. Well, you're welcomed in. You want to assimilate into the country. He said, we can maintain our own culture if we want, but you become an American and you become proud of being here. Uh and he said that's a very unique thing in the world. He said, for any of the those out there who sort of have been well traveled, he said, you're not going to find that anywhere except in the United States. Uh so the man was really eye-opening.

Douglas: 47:54

That makes pretty much uh pretty good sense because what is America? A land of immigrants. Yeah. So naturally, you know, what's one more? Right. So uh it's interesting that, you know, um, I suspect that uh the reason he's an advocate now later in life is because he was such a um what would you call it, a gung-ho kind of uh young man, you know, uh fed the lies. Uh I often wondered back in the day when, you know, there were those suicide bombers. And uh it was like, why would somebody perfectly healthy leave their family from different parts of the world, go and live in a cave, no inside plumbing, if you know what I mean, and they would let themselves be radicalized, conned in, uh or perhaps persuaded to the nth degree that they should go and kill other people in the name of God. Well, I never accepted that. Like there must have been some other reason. Maybe they were being blackmailed, and maybe they were just told, well, you you got the backpack, but the guy beside you is going to be the one that's gonna blow himself up. So you just you just take this down with them, and then when the person gets close by remote control, they get blown up. I mean, people who send people off to you know commit suicide to be a weapon, they've got to be monstrous themselves. I mean, somebody I just learned this recently about during the Second World War, the Japanese bonsai pilots, you know, the suicide pilots who would fly their planes into uh fly their you know their their bomb-loaded planes into ships. That program didn't last too long. It was a total disaster, pardon the pun. Uh, I'm sure there would be people who would chicken out, you know, like, gee whiz, uh Mr. Emperor, I was there going towards the ship, but something happened. Uh, canopy flew off, and I, you know, fell out of the plane. I'm making that up, and that's probably, I don't mean to disrespect anybody who paid that ultimate price because they sincerely thought they were making uh some some effort to the war, but common sense is that's not one way to win a war. Matter of fact, nobody wins a war. Everybody loses. If you look what's happening in Russia and Ukraine, uh the reason uh President Putin is out talking and being friends with uh the North Korean president and the president China and the president India, they had a big Axis meeting and watch out, everybody. The world is being uh divided up, they're going one way, and North America is all on its own, except with our allies in what's called the Western world. So why is Putin out catering to other people? Because he needs to. Or was losing the war. This little country, Ukraine, is beating off the big bad Russian bear. And now, just my mind's going here that now Putin is going about um soliciting friendships with other strong men, as they call themselves in the world, so they can divide the world up themselves. But Putin started this, and war is not the way to prosper. Nobody wins in war, as they say. Only after the fact, everybody says that. You know, we should never have this war, it's never started. Okay, so back in the day when this young man you're talking about was lined up to be a terrorist, what was in his mind? What did they tell him to put such hate into his mind that he would be um a terrorist? I hope he didn't do anything really bad, but you know, as advocate was somebody who's been uh the the perpetrator. So here he is, you know, the the uh terrorist now becoming the peacemaker. The pendulum swings back and forth. This is karma. So when you saw him, I'm gonna get back to the point. He obviously was an impassioned man, he's estranged from his family. He's trying to spread the word. And last night the security forces were out in force. Were they protecting him or were they protecting the crowd from each other?

Les: 52:42

Well, they had it was they had outside security and interior security that were constantly pacing the aisles looking at it. It was a little unnerving. I'm thinking, why are they he was like, boy, and he said, No, we're he said we have to take these precautions. He said, because we've had trouble before. Uh, but he uh he got his information from his family, and of course, and you know, who's not gonna respect your grandfather or your grandmother when they constantly tell you this stuff, like my young man. So he said, I didn't question it until I read that book by Alan Dershowitz saying a case for Israel. He wasn't saying he was telling you like a typical person who teaches law, which Alan Dershowitz does, he said, This is the case, this is the evidence, make up your own mind. And he said, That's what really got him was like he's allowing me to think for myself and make up my own mind, which then enticed him to go to Israel and say, Let me really see this for myself. And he came back going, Wow, you know, I'm a changed man. I've got to tell my and he wanted to liberate his family, saying, Why harbor all this hate in your heart? He said it's toxic.

Douglas: 53:38

Well, I'm glad you had that experience. And again, you know, you're absolutely right, Les. I mean, you know, hate gets passed down, you know, hate is learned. Of course, if you're in a real bad situation where your house is being blown up and your relatives are being uh destroyed or murdered or whatever, you know, this is that's firsthand. That's pretty that's traumatic, and that's really hard to get past. But it's a spiritual lesson. And it to all of us who understand that war doesn't profit anybody, and for those who are eager and ready to go to war, you are foolish. I understand that there's that warrior mentality. Part of us uh in human reigns, we have we have that part of us that are warriors, and they have to go and experience that thing. Whether it's on the football field or the battlefield, they're still at war, and they experience those I'm gonna say those dynamics. But uh again, hate is hate is hate, and uh uh somehow he broke away from the chain. I don't know the man, I don't know anything about him. I'm just uh relying on your experience and uh go there less. You're pretty brave. I mean, you know, you walked into the lion's stand there. Did they give you the wand or patch you down?

Les: 54:53

I didn't expect this security, it was a little unnerving. I'm looking at my friends going, We really want to be here. We're expecting some kind of bomber to show, but uh it was like, well, we're here, let's do it, let's see what's going on. And we because our curiosity got the better of us. I wanted to know what was in this man's mind. I thought, what you know, what what happened to him? I have a I have just an open mind and open heart. I want to see, I always want to hear both sides because there's always some truth in everything. There's nobody's absolutely totally right. And uh, but uh he was a fascinating guest, and uh he's he's his calling is to just try to help people learn the truth. He said, you know, nobody's perfect. He said, Well, no, I'm not saying that there, you know, there's perfection in anybody. We're all in process, we're all in progress in some way, shape, or form. But he said, at least have an open mind and hear the other side. I say a lot of times, Doug, uh, if you go to some of these media sites that everybody's familiar with, I won't name any one particular, but you'll see these little vignettes or these little videos that last about maybe 30 seconds, and you'll see something dastardly happening to somebody else. And then you look at the comments, and some of the comments are yeah, kill him, what is he doing? And he needs a punch in the face. And then you see the more intelligent ones going, well, what exactly is happening here? Because I'm only seeing about 15% of the video, 15 seconds of the video. What actually caused this to happen? No comment, no answer. So they're they want to get you and incite you and get out there and kill and join the mob. No, no, no, no. And that's what happened with this man. He was like, No, no, no, let me hang back before I hurt anybody. Obviously, the man had a kind heart. Uh and he at the time he thought he was doing the right thing by hating the Zionists. He said, This is what I have to do to honor my family. But he realized it wasn't the way, and he paid a very, very high price for that. I mean, imagine losing your entire family. I mean, just they just shun you. You're now dead to them. And he was willing to pay that price.

Douglas: 56:40

Well, I can think that he's in good company with a lot of people in the past who did the same thing. No matter what religious point of view they were in the past, there were always the leaders who usually ended up being shunned by their family and uh shunned by their friends, betrayed by their friends. And we're talking about some pretty serious spiritual leaders. They all have that, I guess it's the path, that's how it's done. But you know, I don't know them, I don't know the man. I just was curious about your experience last night. You know, uh I don't necessarily like to put myself in harm's way, but you uh went there and you found out a lot about this person, and it's a very good lesson you put forward, everybody. You know, like if you're listening to the news, you have two ears and one mouth. So listen to both sides, but don't use your mouth faster than you can use your hearing or your ears. And I'll tell you, uh I am a big advocate for these news videos and the things that come on social media. There should be somewhere on there a little flag of the country of origin that these messages started from. Because there are people in faraway places, it's their job. It's called propaganda, and they're there to get everybody fighting because they win. You're not paying attention when you're fighting. So, anyway, that's a lesson on that one. And I think uh, you know, for a man who wants to preach love and now uh make up for perhaps the shortcomings of his early life, sounds like he's on the spiritual path.

Les: 58:23

Yeah, you know, it's interesting. I came across um this little humorous statement done by this person who was uh studying theology, and it's this ties in with uh fear and misunderstanding and miscommunication. And he goes on to say, back in my excuse me, back in my Christian days when I was studying theology, I was reading some commentary on the old testament angelic experiences. And one of the best moments I had in my studies was when I learned that the angelic reading of Be Not Afraid in the original language, context and storytelling style pretty much translated into the angel saying, Please stop screaming, it's fine.

Douglas: 59:05

Oh my god, that was hysterical. It must be awful noisy upstairs with everybody screaming down here now. Oh my god, help me, help me, help me. That's a good thing.

Les: 59:16

I've met people who have had angelic experiences, you know. My clients, some of my clients, and they said, you know, what is that? And it it is terrible, but imagine these primitive people back in the day, you know, these desert dwellers who are just living a very simple life, seeing this angelic, seeing Gabriel Shimmer going, oh my god, stop screaming. Oh boy, you know, it's it brings back the humanity of it all.

Douglas: 59:38

I'm up for that. So um we're gonna take another break, I guess. But tell me, uh, you got a poem or something that very meaningful to you.

Les: 59:48

Yeah, it was something uh you know, it's there's some powerful people out there who write things down every once in a while. And this is a little bit of a I call it a poem. Um and it goes on to buff it's basically has to do with the existence of God. You're ever doubt the existence of God, and if God loves you, say do you've heard it a thousand times that God loves you, and you nod, yeah, yeah, he loves everybody. Saying that just becomes generic. It truly doesn't really move you, it doesn't really make you wonder. Because somewhere along the way it lost its meaning, because privilege is invisible to those who have it. But stop, really stop for a second and think. God is all powerful and perfect, he can do whatever he wants when he wants. He didn't have to create the universe because he doesn't really need it, but he did. And because it is in his nature to create out of love, God has no other reason for creating than his love and goodness. Creatures came into existence when the key of love opened his hand, according to St. Thomas Aquinas. Have you ever considered the fact that you didn't have to exist? You are not a necessary part of creation. The sun doesn't need you, the galaxies don't depend upon you, heaven would still be perfect without you. Neither you nor I are essential, and still he put you in it. So, yeah, God loves you. But listen closely. You didn't have to be. The only real reason why you are is because the eternal God, outside of time, looked across the ages and saw your face and said, I do not want a universe without you in it. That's it. That's the gospel before the cross. That's creation before Genesis. That's love before light ever touched the deep. God does not want a universe without you in it. Read that again. He could have made stars, seas, angels, and skipped you. But he didn't. Not because you earned it, not because you deserved it, but because he is love. Excuse me. And he chose you. But no, God loves you, it isn't cheap, it isn't cliche. It's the most terrifying, wonderful, holy thing ever spoken. You're here for a reason. You have a purpose. Make it count. If being chosen by God to exist isn't the biggest example of love, then I don't know what is. God loves you, and do not let yourself ever think otherwise. Sorry, it just gets me.

We're going to answer you again to your questions here on the chat when the wizard starts uh popping them up here. We're here. What are your comments tonight? I hope you like the show. I hope you like that amazing uh poem that uh Les just read. Very, very wonderfully read. Remember, you're here for a purpose, always. It's a very meaningful statement indeed. So let us know what you think. Pop in and uh send us something in the chat, and we'll get to your question. We have a little bit longer in the show. I know, Les, you wanted to get to either Antarctica or we're gonna talk about that impressionist, that amazing fellow in where was it again? France.

Les: 1:04:12

Well, there's a lot of going on down in Antarctica. Matter of fact, some years ago, John Kerry said parts of it were off limit for the next like 35 years. And they've yeah, yeah, they the only scientists can go down there. Matter of fact, one of my clients tried to go down a user, go you could go actually uh uh go down with a scientific expedition and join them. Uh, you couldn't really take part in too much of the scientific experimentation, but you could actually join them on the trip and you can't do that anymore. At certain parts of it anyway. Uh, they're finding very large structures, very large pyramids down there that are actually legit. Uh, that are, we don't know who built them. I mean, they're very, very ancient. They're much larger than the ones found in Egypt. Uh, and there was a person uh I saw their interview, uh, and she was talking to, she was in a private investigator, and she was talking to this man who had been previously working for the Air Force. Uh, he was now retired, but he told an interesting story where uh they had a uh a down ship that they had to go rescue the guys from. And of course, Antarctica, the temperatures are very unforgiving. So he was tasked with going to get them with his crew. And he said, Well, well, we'll get there in about maybe an hour's time if we're able to fly directly over the pole. And the officers said, You can't do that. And they said, Why not? He said, Well, it's just off limits. He said, Well, if I if I have to go around the pole, the guys are gonna die. And so he said, No, you disobey orders, you'll be court-martialed. So he's like, Okay, I'll get up in the air, and he said, The hell with it, I'm gonna go. And he told his crew, this is what we're gonna do, but we got to save our men. We got to save these guys. And they flew across the north the South Pole and they saw this opening in the South Pole, and they said they didn't know what it was. They said, What is that thing? It was an enormous, like a hole, and they're going, What are we flying over? What is what is going on down there? So, all these questions are popping up now. Uh, what is what is your take on that, Doug? What's happening down there?

Douglas: 1:05:54

Well, you know, uh people I know we've had on the show uh on the uh this the uh uh Global Village uh radio show on Blog Talk, uh, we had some pretty amazing researchers and people that were in-depth about this. I mean, it it just doesn't go away. Scientists detect mysterious radio uh waves coming from beneath Antarctica's uh ice. Well, since Antarctica's ice cap is melting like there's no tomorrow, we're gonna find out. We're gonna find out what's there because on the Pyrrhus maps that were discovered in the 1500s, which were copies of maps that existed before, the entire globe, the continents on the globe were depicted on the Pires maps. Very famous uh story about those maps depicting the continents. And guess what? Antarctica was properly depicted on the map. And only, I think it was in the late 50s when American engineers went down and started by sonar mapping out the continent. Oh my god, it was exactly the same as it appeared on the previous maps.

Les: 1:07:08

Oh wow.

Douglas: 1:07:08

So that means, you know, there had to be a living, thriving continent where people were able to see the shoreline, the continent outline, and maybe it wasn't at the South Pole. Maybe it was in, you know, the middle part, like like where, let's say, Australia would be. And so this place was a thriving community, but it was depicted on the Pyrrhus maps. And so now there's mysterious radio waves coming out. Scientists working with the Anita experiment, high-altitude balloons equipped with the uh to detect cosmic particles have captured unexplained radio signals seeming to emanate from deep beneath Antarctica's icy surface. Well, we're gonna find out. Wow, we're gonna find out. You know, there's a pyramid-shaped mountain there in the remote Ellsworth Mountains in Antarctica. It's uh symmetrical and it's a pyramid-like peak, often mistaken for uh an ancient artifact, or get this an alien structure. Conspiracy theories abound, but no geologists affirm that it's simply a natural nanotuok or whatever, a rock protruding through glacial ice. Well, we're gonna find out. Yeah, recent scientific discovery revealed that ancient deep submarine valleys buried beneath Antarctica's ice sheets. Well, as they melt away, we're gonna find out these hidden caverns uh or channels, I should say, uh guide ocean currents and play a vital role in the ice stability and global sea level rise, unseen forces shaping the future of our planet. Well, as we know, there have been glaciers breaking off the size of Manhattan floating around as hazards in the uh South Pacific and in the Arctic uh ocean, I guess if it's uh I believe that's what it's called. So as the uh you know the glaciers which are millions of years old, thousands of years old, millennia, you know, they're melting away. Just a little mischievous thought came to my mind. Uh, as the as those those um sheets of uh icebergs melt into the ocean. Hmm, I wonder if there is going to be some frozen animals, creatures, or something that's been frozen in the ice in Antarctica. It's going to be going to be fought out and will come back to life. So we're going to have like, you know, I don't know, two-headed snakes and stuff. I, you know, like we're going to see the return of sea monsters, maybe uh, maybe those movies about Godzilla and you know, there's other monsters that live in the sea. Oh my god, you know. So, you know, there's a there's by the way, everybody, there was a uh chapel, uh it's called Chapel of the Snows in uh Mick uh Mundo Station, a small interfaith uh church built in eight 1956. Uh it was from scrap that was uh around there. You know, that's another thing. There's no garbage dump in Antarctica, and people leave the scientists leave their stuff there. They don't bring it home because it costs so much. So they have all this wonderful garbage dump that they can build churches, and uh this place apparently is a very beautiful place, was rebuilt in 1989. It has stained glass windows, and um uh I think it's um a spiritual beacon. Is it's one of the most remote places in the world. So we're gonna find out. So, what what are we talking about here? What's the point? Well, back in the day when we had these conspiracy theorists on, they were talking about um who was the explorer that was there, Sergeant.

Les: 1:11:15

No, it was not Bird, Admiral Byrd.

Douglas: 1:11:17

Admiral Byrd, there we go. I was gonna say Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, but anyway, uh that'd say dating myself. So there were people convinced that there was this access, this egress, if you will, uh into the into the planet, and that the earth was hollowed out. There's still people that believe that to this day.

Les: 1:11:40

And so they did mention in his notes something about something about the temperature differentiation was really acute. It was very strange how things get warm, but it's a lot of controversy around that as far as to they even had a theories that the Nazis have put a base down there uh and they they ran into the Nazis, and it's like wow. I mean, it's how can you prove it? But I'm just curious, is why would John Kerry say it's off the off limits for like the next 35 years? I mean, uh because it's it's a military base now?

Douglas: 1:12:06

Uh yes and no. If you're asking me intuitively, I can see people running around in in uh not white outfits but dark outfits, and I suspect there's been this gigantic mining project going on. And remember, the snow's going away, so you have a if you have a hole in the ice and the sun comes out, the hole in the ice uh you know exaggerates, right? And uh I think that's what's happening. There's probably a big run-on for essential minerals, you know, with the wars being fought over in Ukraine and other places. Uh, I think that's probably what's going on. But I I see faces, they don't look human, they look ugly. So it's either people wearing masks or outfits or you know, facial gear. Uh, but there's lots of them, they're all in dark suits and they're running around. So I'm gonna say uh, you know, this uh uh this rush to Antarctica, uh, I think it's coming to my mind just a minute. Elon Musk did an expedition to build an army of robots to take over the planet.

Les: 1:13:19

That's exactly what they are. We're gonna be enslaved. They're robots.

Douglas: 1:13:29

Okay, there you go. There you go. Well, thank thank you, Les, for solving that mystery. I picked it up from the ethers. You apparently can pick up a lot of things on the ethers.

Les: 1:13:42

So I just might get a visit from the men in black tonight. Anyway, uh, so we're gonna go on to uh our friend. Uh, his name was Claude Monet, and he was a French, he was of course most people recognize him as the the creator of Impressionism. But the funny thing is, uh, he was born in uh in uh November 1840 in Paris. When he was doing Impressionism, he was doing, in his opinion, he was doing modern art. That was it. He was considered a modern artist. He did not call it Impressionism, but somebody describing his work has called it you get the impression of what he's doing. And that's where they that's where they grabbed it. But uh he was a very interesting man. I remember there was one comment where he was uh painting with other artists, and another artist said, Can I borrow your black? And he said, I don't use black. Because he knew that even in shadows, shadows had light. Very interesting man. What was going through what do you think was going through his mind when he was creating this impression of uh what he saw around him?

Douglas: 1:14:39

Well, I think we've talked a little bit about the idea that people are very talented, uh, have this ability to see beyond the physical world. They see into the unseen or the great beyond. And uh I look at the I'm looking at his picture and I'm looking at some of his uh his artwork, and uh you can see he's he's trying to paint his feelings. Oh so I think he was very clairsentient, and he um you know he's most well known for his series of serene water lilies and paintings. So he was meditating, he was in between worlds, he was able to see beyond the veil, as they say, and so you know, he's got some of the uh impressions. The artist's garden at Givenery, 1900, yeah, the Water Lily Pond, 1899, Garden at St. Adair Adresse, I should say, 1867, the beach at Sante Adressi, 1867. And these are like, you know, you look at them back, and then you can see that they're you know regular pictures that you look at. But if you look at them closer, you can see he's got foreground, midground, and he has the sky and uh the foreground meeting, but not as a horizontal line, not like as some people would say that you have to um, you know, you have that in this ship, in this one with the ships in the back, they're on the horizon. That's how normally people. But look at what's in the foreground. Your eyes don't go to the background, it goes to the forefront where there's vivid color and uh there's life, and you can imagine the people talking, and then in the faraway distance, there's like these ships, and there's different kinds too steamships, sailing ships, small ships. So there's this array of vessels back in the day. That's how everybody got around. But look at the vital pictures, the the the colors, they're just vibrant and they're jumping off this off the screen. So he's feeling this, and even his use uh his um use of shadows makes you like you're right there.

Les: 1:17:06

Right, yeah. Yeah, even he even he knew that shadows had light, so he said, I don't use black. Uh he was fascinating. I mean, the poor thing, he ended up with cataracts, I believe, uh, later on in his life. But it was fascinating to see what he did with that. If you've ever I haven't been, but friends of mine have have been to Givarnay, where he had that garden. He created it was a it's a tributary off the Seine River, and he created this beautiful garden with the water lilies. That's where he did most of his painting later on in life. Uh he created a houseboat where he would actually go out, row out in the boat, and paint from the boat itself. Very prolific artist. But uh he and uh he could not he even he didn't understand why he was so popular, because there were other impressionists that painted like him, but they were he considered them better than him. And he said, I could never understand why it became so popular. He said, I'm just a big bear of a guy. Why do you think he'd be was it in his karma to become popular? Was he at had he been popular in another lifetime?

Douglas: 1:18:04

No, he was a master, but he was humble, and he knew um to speak of others pleasingly, it was good politics. Uh and you know, if you look at those eyes, you can see wisdom in his in his uh in the in the way he looks. He's a humble man, but like all masters, what comes to my mind now is that he did things easily. And so what he thought, you know, nonchalantly, you know, doing the if you need a lot of calmness and you just look at that, those paintings, and you calm down, that was the secret of his artistry. Other people wouldn't do it. I mean, you could people can take uh a thousand photographs, but one will stand out because it's extra special. And I think that the answer question, what comes to my mind as we're watching, is that he was a master, he was very humble, and he couldn't figure out why people thought he was you know the best, because it came easy to him. Oh he was a master. Oh wow, it came easy to him, and like all masters, like all geniuses, you know, yeah, what's the big deal? Well, you are the big deal. Nobody can do what you're doing, yeah. But you know, I just do it so easy. There I was having a croissant and a little, you know, uh whatever, a cup of coffee or tea, and I had this vision. Well, that's what he's painting is a vision because he he feels it. I once talked to what pops in my mind just now, I once talked to an artist in in uh um uh well in in uh in never mind where he was, and he came to me one day and we were talking about um his investments, and I was curious because he was a very well-known artist. He he used to work with metal and he would make figurines, and he was very well known in uh far away places, but in particular, people who were going to be given an award or something by the local city would come to him and they would say, We'd like to commission you to do a work for somebody. Okay. Now, his this is all black metal, they were figurines, they would look like African warriors, they would look like dancers, they would look um like humanoids, but they would be nondescript. But they were beautiful and they were tall, and they had legs and arms and were very beautiful. So I said to him, So, okay, I know who I am, the psychic guy, and I know who you are, this artist. And I said, So, how do you do it? And he could see that I was penetrating into his his uh his his uh train of thought of when he was trying to create. And he so he confessed up. He said, Well, I take a piece of metal and I put it in my hand, and I look at it, and I look at it, and then I ask it, What do you want to become? Wow, I never forgot those words. Wow, and in his mind he would see an image, and so like Michelangelo, who once said that all those figurines always existed in the block of marble, all he had to do was to chip away the excess and expose the figure. Yeah, interesting concept, and that's what this man did. Uh, he didn't offer me one, no, he didn't give me one, and no, I didn't buy one because they were expensive, but I did get to hold them in my hand. And Helen of the Sloggy, um, uh the the countess of um Transylvania, uh real was a very famous artist. She sold her paintings for 10,000 or more, 10,000 up. And she told me once that she would be visiting in other dimensions, wow, traveling through them, and she would paint them. Oh, cool. She saw beings in there that were like smoke, hooded beings like smoke, and she used to enjoy blasting through them until she realized that she was destroying them. That was in her dimension, they were smoke. And so uh now with it scared the heck out of us. My my wife and I were in her house and we saw little faces bopping around in her living room. Did you see that? Yeah, we gotta get out of here. But she's a very famous lady. I loved her, she's a very talented lady. I'd like to know if anybody's listening, uh, you know, how we could ever get in contact with uh with her family or or you know, find out where her pit her paintings were. But anyway, that's getting back to the point that um, you know, I think you've solved it. We're gonna go on record and say, you saw, well, I saw and you interpreted robots. Robots are now actively engaged in something, mining perhaps, carrying boxes or packs. That the the when you said the more clear they they become. But they were walking, they were running around and and walking strange, but they looked humanoid, but they couldn't see their faces looked uh different. So we're gonna say, yeah, we're gonna start. Don't tell anybody, but uh, you know, Les and Doug say that there's robots, aka uh Elon Musk, buddies, pals, whatever, I don't know. Um I shouldn't say that, I should say property, uh, that uh are mining South the South Pole. Wow.

Les: 1:23:52

Well, next time I mean if that robots can do dangerous work and save men's lives, why not, right? Yeah, mining can be yeah, mine you're right, you're right.

Douglas: 1:24:00

You don't need to vaccinate them, you see to oil them, apparently. Remember the wizard of oz, the tin man?

Les: 1:24:08

Oil can't that's and we got some uh we got some questions from uh our YouTube listeners from this too shall pass. Uh in 2023, Block Talk Radio, a caller said that he had a vision that in 2026 would be the end of seeds, S-E-E-D-S. Could that mean stores would only sell seedless watermelon, grapes, etc. Every fruit would be seedless? What do you think, Doc?

Douglas: 1:24:34

I think it means that we ought to stock up with vegetable seeds. Uh, you might be right about the fruit being hybrid because we're now getting away from agricultural normal means, and we're getting the high tech, this, and the other thing. There's aggro stuff, there's a you know, a big white bowl on the bottom, a plastic ABS pipe, and plants on uh and holes on either side and water being circulated. So they're basically uh plants without without soil, and they're doing quite well. Uh they're leafy vegetables, etc., and fruits and things like that. But I think he could be right. I mean, we we have we have many uh many types of uh foods now that seed takes up a lot of energy, but uh it's been predicted by myself and others, Casey Peterson, Casey, that there will come a time in which gold and silver will be valuable, precious stones, semi-precious stones, and seeds. Seeds, S-W. And so uh that's why you know you mentioned about your friends and neighbors getting interested in agriculture and backyard gardening. Yeah, well, it's because the price of vegetables and fruits, as we predicted before, we've said you know, eggs was going up. We predicted that a few months ahead of time. Eventually it'll be difficult to get food. Well, the way the present administration is dealing with these things about putting tariffs on products, and the farmers are they were on the news recently, they're they're had a really bad year last year, and now they're having another really bad year, and they can't get labor. They, you know, they're in weather difficulties, the world's on fire. Anyway, not to go down that track too much, but to say that now's the time to go to Costco or wherever you go, and you can get buckets of seeds, you know, those little packages, they stay for, they stay good forever, and you can uh trade them off. You can use them for for money. However, as to our our friend in a point, uh, I I don't quite think it means that there's going to be no seeds because then there'd be no prolification of the fruits and vegetables. Did you know there's only one kind of banana in the world? There's been research on trying to grow a second and even a third string of bananas, but all the bananas you eat come from the same banana source, if you will, the same variety. So I understand we're trying to get more varieties. That was a few years ago that was given to me, but it could be the same way. So, to our our our um to our person asking the question, it's a really good question. It's an eye-opener. Thank you very much for bringing that to our attention. Uh, I I think it's more along the lines of actually having real seeds in your own jar, container, metal container. Remember, metal container, mouses can't get in them, and uh they don't rot, you know. Glass containers have cumid have humidity in, so remember to put your seeds in the seed packets, but also put them in zip ziploc bags so uh there's no moisture. And there was something else about that that was just popped in my mind about seeds. Oh, yeah, Norway. Did you know that Norway has the world's largest uh depository or not, the um uh bank of uh deposits of uh seeds in the world? Yes, why? Because Norway has mountains and they have ice and they have snow, at least presently. So good question, my friend, out there. Thank you very much for being part of the show.

Les: 1:28:23

We have another sure. Our next is from uh Larry Cruz. Uh he I had a powerful dream where in the dream it was sunny, then it became nighttime. Of course, more happened, but I don't recall having a dream where it was sunny, then became nighttime. What is the meaning?

Douglas: 1:28:39

Next year. Oh sunny's daytime. And you know, this is in uh the Jewish religion, other religions. Tomorrow starts when the sun goes down today. When the sun sets now, the day's over. The next day starts, and so the next day starts what? Without sun.

Les: 1:29:07

Oh, I see.

Douglas: 1:29:08

So in the dream, uh, when you go from sunny day, that's done now, to next year, it gets dark, a new year, like a whole year away. So if you're riding a bicycle in the sun and all of a sudden you're in the nighttime and you're wondering where your bicycle was, that means next year you're not gonna have a bicycle. Oh, okay. Something like that. That's pretty that's pretty elementary, Mr. Watson.

Les: 1:29:39

Uh, we have a nice note from a person on YouTube uh by the name of QM. Love listening to you and started listening to Ross because of you, Douglas. Thank you. Nice message.

Douglas: 1:29:51

Ross Peterson?

Les: 1:29:52

I guess it must mean Ross, yeah.

Douglas: 1:29:54

Yeah, he's out there. Ross Peterson was a man's man. He was an amazing, intuitive person. He was an Extremely exceptional human being, just nondescript. They broke the mold when he was uh born after talking about Ross Peterson. So thank you very much for listening to us. He was my mentor, and I'm a neophyte compared to Ross. Absolutely.

Les: 1:30:16

Hmm. Uh, one of my clients uh listeners just texted me. I don't know why they don't text here, but anyway, she says uh she wants to know am I truly free or is my path already written for me?

Douglas: 1:30:29

If you're asking me that question, what do you think? Yes, of course, you're free. Unless you think you're not. Okay, so what does that mean? I think, therefore, I am. Yeah, okay. Um, what do you mean? If you're asking a question, then you must be free. Yes, otherwise you wouldn't ask the question. This gets into high, you know, uh philosophical nonsense sometimes. But the point is that if you're asking a question, then you already know the answer. And if you're asking that question, then you have to be free, otherwise you wouldn't know the answer to ask the question. So here's a go. Here's a quick lesson on this. I teach uh this in in seminars. Everybody has free will and free choice, absolutely. But what about fate? Okay, you come with a blue plan, you come with a with a purpose in your life. So, how can you have free will and free choice and still have fate and destiny? They're both. As Robert Kennedy Jr. answered just the other day to a very difficult question. They're both right. So you have a destiny or a fate, you have a purpose to your life that you have to live. You cannot escape it because you already chose it. What's that mean? Your soul decided you want to come down and be the person you are today, or live the life that you're living today. You want to find out all about it. It didn't know about it, it sort of had an inkling or an understanding of what your life experience would be like, so it decided to experience it. Now, free will and free choice is okay, I'm coming into the world. I have to be here. I'm going to be this body shape, the gender I am, the experiences I have as a baby, all those things, the birth order, those are things that are going to help me find my way to fulfill my destiny. Okay, but I get to choose what kind of clothes I'm gonna wear. I get to choose what education I'm going to get. I'm gonna choose if I want to travel or stay home. I'm gonna choose if I like pizza or if I like vegan. Okay, it doesn't those things are your free will and free choice. But the overview is you're here and you're who you are now, and if it's your destiny to work in a school, you will be in a school. If your destiny is to drive heavy equipment, you will drive heavy equipment. Whether it's a tank or a bulldozer, you're driving heavy equipment. Okay, not that simplistic, but to give you the idea, so free will and free choice is okay, you're here, do what you want, but when you're seven years old, you're gonna have to break your arm. You're 14, you're gonna fall in love, and when you're 23, you're going to change your vocation, you're gonna do something totally different. And when you're 35, you're gonna travel the world, and when you're 42, you're gonna have a heart attack, and when you're 52, you're gonna discover meditation and become a saintly teacher, and when you're 70, you're gonna get on the Soul Report show and talk about your life and how miraculously you went through the zigzag to where you are. Okay, so what I'm saying is there are life lessons along the way that you must endure, experience. And the only way out of those things, talking about karma now, the only way out of that of avoiding the difficult karma is to regret, to learn a lesson, either through watching other people or being spiritually aware and giving away, giving up the tendencies to do violent things, then you can strip away those layers of karma by being of service. But in order to do that, you have to realize hey, I have free will and free choice, hey, I have to work on myself, hey, God does not demand that I continue to be as the way I was when I was born. I can be better, and therefore you have free will and free choice, and you can usurp the great temptation of your destiny. You don't need to go through difficult things, unless, of course, you need to learn a lesson.

Les: 1:35:15

Uh, the next is from uh my client Martha. What does it mean to live authentically in alignment with my spiritual self?

Douglas: 1:35:23

To be true to yourself. You have to know yourself, and we don't get to know ourselves unless you're very attentive and looking at yourself all the time through rose uh colored lenses, but also understand you're a human. You have a dark side, you have a weak side, you can succumb yourself to temptation. But salvation means you overcome those weaknesses in your character, and so by loving yourself, that's the way to go, because you find out that, as my mentor once said, if you go into a dark closet and close the door, this is exact words, you will find it in that closet you're there all by yourself now, you will find your best friend and your worst enemy. Wow, it's a profound way that Ross Peterson explained that to me, a young man at the age of twenty five. So, how can you be true to yourself, understand yourself, make mistakes or errors, because errors are the stepping stones to success. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, and then learn how to forgive yourself and say, Well, I wasn't so cool after all. Hmm. And as you get older, I guarantee you, everyone out there, if you follow this one thing, you will have a wonderful golden age. And that one thing is live your life so much so that you don't have regret. I don't think anybody I ever met had no regrets ever. There were always a few. But if you can do that, you will have a wonderful old age. So I hope that's meaningful. There you go.

Les: 1:37:37

Uh, and our last question is from Joseph. Um, if everything is connected, as they say it is, what responsibility do I have? Do I hold towards others and the earth? How long are your arms?

Douglas: 1:37:52

Oh boy. From this point backwards, your fingertips, you have complete control and complete responsibility to whatever is from the end of your fingertips, the tip of your toes, if you will, the top of your head, backwards. Beyond that, you have no control. Okay. So the image I have in my head is you're in the ocean and you're swimming. So to be true to yourself, you're trying to swim to shore, you're trying to save yourself. You're not going to be worried about the whales and the salmon and the porpoises and the ships going by and the water, etc. You're going to be true to yourself and take care of yourself. The short answer in a philosophical way is from your fingertips back, you have complete control. Put your arm out straight in front of you, my friend. That's it. That's the limit. How can you be true to the world? Take care of the world. Don't beat up the world. Don't take your hands and beat on things. Don't dig holes. Don't, you know, do nasty things.

Les: 1:39:07

Respect the world.

Douglas: 1:39:08

I mean, I don't need to be too pointed to that. But that's the rule. Fingertips back, you have complete control. Beyond, you can only say, putting your hands together, God Almighty, I pray that there will be peace in the world. And I'll try to do everything I can to make peace in my world so that I will affect all of the world. There you go.

Les: 1:39:33

All right. As we close the show, do you have any closing comments, Doug, for the show tonight?

Douglas: 1:39:39

Let's see. Les you're an amazing guy. You have an amazing life. I've known you for 30 years or more. I remember uh our friend Dr. Gazelle in in uh Connecticut, Thompson, Connecticut, where his house was, and how we um we had some good times in Rhode Island going to a jazz club. Our dear friend George Zaferiadis, uh, his wife let him go out with us one night. We could go to the club. I felt so sorry that she didn't come along, but it was the boys' night out. That was the boy's night. That was that was Stella who's with us now, and we send her our love and our gut thoughts. So wherever we go, whatever we do, um, you know, we'll always be friends. And uh for everyone out there, the most valuable thing you can have in your life is a friend. Well, thank you, Doug. Okay, my friends, it's uh it's that time where we're going to say goodnight and God bless, and we love you so much. Um, thank you for choosing the Soul Reports uh show tonight. We'd love to see you here at the same time next week. Uh and this brings us to an end of this special soul report, and it's an end of our journey.
