Hello, it's me, the M-N-I-K-E-E, hailing from the D, the Y to the T that's the abbreviation for the city called Dayton and I'm sending you good sensations and vibrations. And remember, I'm just saying I want to talk to you from the subject of Pharaoh's fear or leave Pharaoh alone. Pharaoh's fear or leave Pharaoh alone In your life. There are some pharaohs the reason I'm saying pharaohs, of course there are people that want to stop you and are afraid of what you will become. In the Bible it talked about Moses, talked about how Pharaoh was ordering the babies to be killed because he knew what they would become. There are people who really, right now, are after you because they know what you can become and you're like it doesn't make any sense. They're higher ranking at my job. They're higher ranker at my sports team. Uh, the organization, whatever the case may be, the church, the church. I really hate to keep saying that when I was like my gosh, but, um, yeah, so you're like oh man, there's no way possible. I don't even know what they're jealous of and what what's to be jealous of, why, but it's who you'll become, because right now you're pulling it together. You're up there gathering that money. You're making your money. Do contortionism. You're making that money stretch. I'm talking like flexible, like double join it. You're making a 20 bill become double join it and, um, you've done it in the past, you're doing it now. Oh well, let's not sit up here and turn our noses up in the air. It's funny how sometimes we make it and we walk around with our nose so high up in the air that if it were to rain, we would drown.

Speaker 1:

Some of us remember those days when we watched a movie, or we talk about the movie the Hunger Games. Yeah, sometimes the Hunger Games was the 15th through the 30th or the 15th through the 31st or whatever, because we were trying to make it to when that time rolls back over and the stamps get renewed and we can have fun again at the grocery store. All right, hey, don't look down, don't look left or right, because we'll know it's you who's trying to act as if it didn't happen. Because we'll know it's you who's trying to act as if it didn't happen. But I want you to keep thinking about that, about the fact that it's who you'll become, what you've overcome and who you are now. Have you ever watched a movie? You ever watched a sports movie or a action movie and then the person turns to the other person and says that explosion should have killed you. That last boxing match you had should have killed you. But here you are. Sometimes that was a deterrent. But I'm here to tell you that You're rising up from the ashes, you're rising up from the explosion, you're rising up from everything and, yeah, it should have took you out. But here you are, right here in my face and in the world's face, saying, wow, here I am.

Speaker 1:

One of the worst things is to hit somebody as hard as you can do, whatever you can do, and then they look at you and laugh and say, is that all you got? You gave them everything that you could. And then they turn and look at you and say is that all you got? That's what you're doing. Somebody is trying to stop you. There's a Pharaoh Again there's a Pharaoh. Oh, if you want to go the other way, there may be a Nefertiti, a Cleopatra Trying to stop you, trying to kill you, figuratively speaking, assassinate your character, run you down, because all they fear, because they know that crown, that golden crown, is yours for the taking and no matter what they do, you're going to get it anyway. They're going to run you down. They're going to try to turn people against you, but the funny part about it is those same people are gonna turn on them and say I like where this is going, I like this new person and, as a matter of fact, this person is who I really want to be around anyway.

Speaker 1:

You remember the movie the wizard of oz? After the witch died, the soldiers said hooray for dorothy. The only reason they were cheering for that person was because they were being oppressed and they were too scared to do anything back to them. Ie the fawn response when you take on and agree with the oppressor or the thing you're scared of In order to preserve yourself, in order to satisfy or please them. You have once again come to a place called the land of Mike Believe, a place that makes Emerald City look like a pile of green rocks. Never, neverland wished that it was never created At all, and Wonderland Wonder why it was created in the first place, and I encourage you to dream like you'll live forever. But please, pretty, please, live. No-transcript.
