Intro 0:00 Who's a badass? That's right. You're a badass. Welcome everyone to the weekly show where we will go deep into the human dynamic and what makes us all extremely special. We're breaking the stereotypical mold of the badass on a Harley with tattoos, and we're rebranding the badass with any human being that's happy and free. One can have all the money, houses, the Harleys and tattoos, Lamborghinis yet if they're not happy and free, what's the point? Let's push some buttons and start some shit. Welcome to the weekly show, Who's A Badass. Andre 0:43 Welcome to the Who's A Badass Show. It is officially Tuesday. My God, did it fly, it just went poof. As they say, time flies. This is the official announcement that time has been flying. It's flown, whoof, it's gone. As we get cracking here, you guys, today, the topic is going to be death. And I know it's a weird one. But in what I'm seeing out there in the world, there's just a lot of worry, a lot of concern, a lot of sadness, a lot of depression, a lot of anxiety. And a lot of what comes with that is the fear of death. So, as I'm seeing it out there, I want to just face it, as a conversation. I want us to be able to talk about it because nobody really talks about it. Everybody talks about doing great and doing better and achieving stuff and success and how to make things better. And yes, this is a form of making things better. Meaning that if you're depressed, the goal is to be happy. If you have anxiety, the goal is to be free. So, it all sort of plays into the same thing. But we're going to have a conversation about why the fear, what it represents, where it's from, and then we're going to compare the concept of fear of death to fear of public speaking. It's a big one. I don't know why but it's a big one. So, yeah, Christmas plays, Cannabis Cowboys, what they call them. There was no cannabis involved. Just want to keep it real. There was tequila and whiskey but no cannabis. It was just simple down to earth. Easy peasy. It was nice. So, this, Who's A Badass Show is brought to you, of course, by Badassery Factory. Badasseryfactory.com is the website and at Badassery Factory, you can find everything that we do from coaching to speaking on stages around the world, to we just launched a group coaching session three weeks ago, and it's just freaking amazing, lives are being changed. You can get information on that group coaching event at the website as well. We do it every Saturday morning. It goes for about no more than two hours. So, it's typically about 90 minutes to 120. But we take people on like it's video but we go one on one, and we work on shit and we get shit done. And it's pretty, pretty powerful. So, also, if you, guys, have not heard yet, George the... what used to be called George magazine. Now, it's going to be called George that's launching early fall. It's going to be in digital format. And it's also going to be in print on demand. It's going to be the large format, just like you have the big big magazines, the beautiful ones, the high end graphics, beautiful colors. Anyway, it's going to be a very well put together and well thought out publication. We're going to call it a publication. So, that's going to be early fall, it's going to launch early fall. It's exciting. I have two articles that are going to be in this first edition. And it's beyond exciting. It's beyond a blessing. It's beyond anything that I've ever, maybe, I guess, I set out goals by plans. Media is definitely a part of what we do, and want to grow. But did I ever think that there's a connection between George and I? I didn't but here we are. So, we let God do his thing and here we are. So, anybody that's not on the list of Georgiaonline.com, stick your email address in there, you'll get updates, you'll know exactly when things are being launched and what's coming up and when it's going to be ready. And obviously, you want to be the first, the first to get your edition. And then I will have these, gosh, publications. I'm going to have them with me as I speak at events. I'm going to have them with me, we'll do autographs all that fun stuff. If you want one. Don't have to have one. You can just take magazine not want my autograph. But if you want it, I'm just saying I'll be there. So, the next event that I will have these at, should it be launched by then is going to be in Dallas at The Patriot Voice, November 18, 19, 20, Dallas, and Thepatriotvoice.us is where you can get information, obviously, get tickets, all that fun stuff, get a hotel room, come party with us. It's going to be pretty pretty deep. I know Rudy Giuliani is going to be one of the speakers. I know George Papadopoulos and Mona Papadopoulos will be there as speakers and they're complete badasses. So, anyway, and others that are going to be there. I don't have them all in my space right now. But it's going to be a full event of all kinds of fun stuff. So that said, I think that's all the announcements that I have. I mean, there are more, but I can't let him out yet. So, we're gonna stick to, that's my story, and I'm gonna stick to it. So, I want to get into the conversation of fear, fear of death versus fear of public speaking. And I connected the two for this conversation for the show. Because, funny enough, deep down inside, they're very different, but they're very similar. And, what I see out there in my coaching world, and what I see in the, just in the space, in the psychology space, in the self development space, in the growth space, I see a lot of fear, right? So, people typically, will search help when, obviously, something's off. Something's wrong. The smart fuckers, the smart people, and it wasn't me, because I didn't know that there was help. I didn't know that I'm supposed to grow. I didn't know that I'm supposed to do things to self develop, right? Not that I waited, but my wake up call was, what? 20 years ago now when I'm 32 years old, and bam, two little kids, badass wife, business is going amazing, and all of a sudden, I have anxiety attacks, panic attacks, and I become suicidal. I'm like, What is going on? I'm 32. How is this possible? So, nobody told me before that that we should self develop, that we should focus on growth, that there's a steady thing that we should do just like we eat properly, or we look for better nutrition that we want better water better, yeah, herbs because, not medicines, I've never done any kind of like, drug, if you will. And so, we all want better, right? But why didn't society teach us to want better for the mind, to one better for the psyche, to one better for the conscious mind, for the subconscious mind? Why wasn't that taught? So, now, we come out of high school, some of us go to college, we have these degrees, and now there's debt that comes with these degrees. And now, there's some bullshitery happening with these debt factors. Not going to get into that today. But, so, why did society promote certain things and not other things? Right? And if we, if you came out of high school, powerful, if you came out of high school self aware, like you knew your emotional blueprint, I mean, shit, can you imagine that? Age 18, fuck that, let's go to age 21, let's go to age 25. let's go to 30, let's go by the age of 30, if you knew exactly who you were, how you operate, what triggers you, what doesn't trigger you, what you like, what you dislike, who you are as a talent, what talents God gave you, all that fun stuff? What if you knew all that stuff by a certain age, how would life today be different? This is the big conversation, which will take us to why fear? Why do we have fear of death? Why do we have fear of public speaking? But here's what's exciting. The concept of, we'll take the lighter one, the public speaking, the concept of handing somebody a microphone, or turning on the camera to say, "Hey, I'm gonna ask you a couple of questions. Here's a camera," or "Here's a microphone. Say blah, blah, blah." People fucking freeze. Why? Is that you? So, I guess, for you, guys, that are here, the 50,000 of you watching right now. I gotta get this channel built up and it's coming, but it's gonna it'll take a little process. So, for those of you, what is your fear between the two? Or do you have both? Do you fear death and do you fear public speaking? Or either one? When we, most people, are handed a microphone or remember back in school were teacher says. "Go to the front of the room, recite a poem." Poof, lockdown, freeze, everything stops. Holy shit, right? This flush comes over us. Why? What happens when we are standing in front of a group and we have to simply open our mouth? Because that's all, the the request is very simple. Stand up in front of a group, open your mouth. What happens? Why the freeze? The fear goes down to a place called "I'm not enough." So, if I open my mouth, I will be ridiculed, judged, and basically, ultimately not liked, accepted, etc. So, when we are faced with that moment of having the opportunity to not be liked, being disliked, being judged, and being a piece of shit, we freeze but the fear is so great that we choose not to do it. So, fight or flight kicks in to where you're either going to fight through the moment, and very few do this, they fight through the moment, they're goign to figure it out, they're going to do some breathing, "Okay, I'm gonna make this happen, I'm gonna fight through," bam, and they deliver as good, bad, and different, they'll make it happen. But the other side of fight is flight, which is "I need to get the fuck out of this situation ASAP." And this fight or flight concept shows up in every part of our life. It's not just in public speaking. We're just picking these two topics today because they seem to be like number one, and number two, and sometimes, funny enough, they flop as to which one's greater, speaking or death. So, when we choose to fly, we choose the flight simulation, like "I'm out of here, I'm not going to do this. There's no fucking way you're goping to catch me standing in front of a room with a microphone, no microphone, reciting a poem, telling people my story," boom, people panic, and they get out. And here's the big, what I want to do is offer solutions, obviously, right? Because for me, I can step up in front of 100,000 people in a frickin stadium and put it on just like that. And it's something that I built through the years, I want to say that I've always had a natural ability or an ease, to get up in front of a group of one or a group of one, that would be just one, it's not a group. With me, that's a group but we can get, tiny group, bigger... but it never matter to me. My goal was always to move that audience into some kind of emotion, action, et cetera. So, here's the simplicity to public speaking. So, for those of you that are thinking, "Man, I want to public speak but, "Oh, God, the fears are so great so I typically take the flight pattern, right, I get on an airplane, I'm out." See, when we get nervous when it comes to public speaking, we're being selfish. And you're like, what are you talking about? Why? What does it mean to be selfish? Well, when you get nervous, you get nervous, the audience is not nervous, audience is ready to receive, the audience is there for a reason. They're there to hear the speaker, the authority. But most of you are like, "God, what the heck do I have to share? I'm no authority." Well, so this is the place of not being enough or good enough. But as you build up your confidence, or self esteem, and you start believing in you, because you are becoming self aware, then all of a sudden, it's like, "Shit, I know underwater basket weaving, I know I can share that. It might be nerve wracking, but I can share underwater basket weaving." So, now, you have a piece of at least authority that you can share with the audience. But let me go back to my earlier point, about being selfish. Again, the audience is there to hear you, the authority, but what happens inside of you when you shut down, you're making this about you? What are they going to think about me? They're gonna judge me. I don't know what I'm saying. I'm not an authority. Who am I to say anything to this crowd? So, you have all these limiting beliefs and fear factors of being judged? And who knows where it came from? That's a much longer conversation, right? Who were you got that from, who put that in you, why you chose to believe it, etc. But as long as you make it about you, then you're going to hold back your God-given voice, talent, message to that audience. When you flip the script on that right there, and this is the trick right here, like I'm gonna give you guys the gold, you ready for the gold? Here's the gold. As soon as you flip the script, and you start making it about the audience, then it's not about you anymore. The selfishness completely disappears. In that audience, and this is the the exercise. And let's say, you're going to talk about underwater basket weaving, and that's just whatever I pick today, it could be crocheting toothpicks. How's that? So, if you now flip the script, on that information, and you say, "Hey, I know I'm going to talk about toothpicks. What if in the audience today, somebody is hurting so bad, financially, emotionally, spiritually, maybe their families broken, maybe, who knows? But they're hurting so bad that one word of yours, one little message of yours can turn them around, can maybe save their life, can maybe turn their business around? One little word, one little inclination of a certain message that you put out there that can change somebody's world? What if you can save somebody's life? Just what if, and this is all it takes, it's flipping the importance of your message from you to them. Because now that you can change a life, change somebody's situation by simply talking for two minutes, are you open to doing it? And most people are like, "Oh, shit, yeah." I mean, I've been on, I've shared stages with people that are very, very powerful, and I'm not exaggerating, like really powerful people in specific arenas of this world. And I'm backstage with this gentleman, and suit, maybe three, $4,000 suit. I know suits. And I know he's about to come up soon. But I see this person nervous. I see pacing. And I know patterns, right? I know the human dynamic. And I watched this person and I said, "Hey, you ready?" "Oh, yeah, just nervous, just nervous." And I'm like, I'm thinking like, I know who you are. How the fuck are you nervous, right? So, I now go into, hey, without crashing the state because I know the mind is looking to create what he's going to talk about, et cetera. But I said, hey, are you open to a little bit of help that can get rid of this anxiety, this anxious feelings? He's like, "Oh, my God, are you kidding me? I will do anything." I said, great. So, I literally took him through a couple of small steps, small exercises, a couple of breathing things. But the most important, once I was able to get to his thinking process, I was able to shift the conversation from him to the audience, that you're here to serve, not you, you're here to serve them. You have a duty, you have a mission, there's a message inside of you that God needs to get to somebody in that fucking audience. So, how dare you hold it back through your nerves? How dare you make this presentation anything but phenomenal because you chose to be nervous to make this about you? So, what if somebody in that audience needs to hear this message today just to be able to continue with their life? So, there was a pause, like a long pause, and I didn't know what to expect, right? He could told me to fuck off. I'm an idiot. But he literally like dropped his voice, everything stopped and he goes, "Oh, my God. I never thought of it that way. I always made it about me." And I said, I know. I get it. Anyway, went on stage fucking killed at standing ovation. It was the most magical thing in the world. So, it doesn't matter who you are and what levels you achieve. I'm just telling you that it's simple. It's not that big of a deal but you choose to make it a big deal because it's all about me, me, me. It's basically a tantrum, "Whaa, I have to go up on stage, I have to do these things. I'm going to get judged. They're going to look at me. What if I look funny? What if this $4,000 suit is they're gonna laugh at me because it's a $4,000 suit. It should have been $8000." All this bullshit dialogue in this chat room that is false. And it's fake. And it's the enemy. And it's against God. It's against this moment called perfection. So, there's that we'll come back to that in a minute. Cynthia, what's up? How are you the golden nugget? That was one of them? Golden Nugget number one delivered. $4,000 suit. Yeah, but see, that's my point, though. It wasn't anything about the suit. From the outside, wow, this guy's got it together but what's happening on the inside, which is the real power, which is the God center that was suffering. So, the suit doesn't matter. The jewelry, they don't fucking matter. What car he pulled up in, limo, didn't matter. How many followers he has on Twitter and Instagram? Doesn't fucking matter because what was happening inside had nothing to do with that. He feared the judgment from all of that based on a state of mind. Anyway, so but very, very quickly, shiftable, fixable, just by click. And what I'm saying is you can take the same approach with everything else in your life, everything else in your life. When you get triggered in anything, you get triggered. Like I did a post a few days ago, where I said, "Men, stop doing dishes and laundry. That's not going to protect your family." And oh, my God, what that started, I think I started World War IV on Facebook. But look, people get triggered. Is my message true? It's true to me. Doesn't have to be true to you but it's true to me. But what triggers people is just fucking amazing, right? What I'm getting at is getting triggered is you, you're getting triggered. The information is just a piece of information for you to react to that piece of information is up to whom? It's up to you. So, knowing that, and this is part of becoming self aware, but knowing that you are getting triggered, and being able to flip the script in that moment, like, "Oh, hold on a second, why am I getting triggered in this? You know, Andre said la la la." I actually didn't say it. It was in writing. So, Andre wrote this thing, why the fuck would I be getting triggered about somebody's comment or opinion? Why would I get triggered? So, now, this is the process of asking questions internally as to what is this information that's triggering me? What is it about going up on stage right now or in front of a group of people or in front of a classroom, what part of that is triggering nerves, anger, gosh, how many levels of negative emotions there are right? Why the trigger? Like I'm a powerful human being and one little comment can take me down like that? Whoa, but see, people don't stop to do that. What they choose to do is get triggered and attack, attack, attack attack, and all I said is when I believe and I'll back my shit up statistically and scientifically. But you see what society does? They take stuff, they run with it, how dare you? How dare they? And this is the dilemma of the world today is trigger, trigger, trigger. So, with that said, let's move on to fear of death. Fear of death is obviously. and it's funny because nobody, sorry, not everybody has to speak publicly, not everybody has to get up in front of a group. Not everybody does. Some may get called to do some won't. But guess what, everybody will die. So, the end of inevitable is just that, that part of this lifespan will come to an end, Alpha-Omega. Everything we know about, Alpha-Omega. Like even the Bible says, "In the beginning." If it said in the beginning, what must there be? Later, the end. Every movie has a beginning and an ending, right? So, being that we all have this thing, one day, called death, expiration, the end of this cycle, we don't know if there's reincarnation, what happens after this, we have the Bible, the Quran, we have the Torah, we have different books, information, writing scripture that will talk about it, but do we really, really know what it looks like? And the answer is no. And hence, the fear. We were taught to have faith. Religion taught us to have faith and the concept of faith, the definition of faith is basically believing in something that is unseen, which means that we're lacking facts. So, if we're lacking facts, that's the first problem. But see, people don't stop to look at that to say, "Whoa, hold on a second. So, I was taught all these years just have faith, faith, God's got you, God's got you." Okay, but what does that mean? Why have faith in something that's unseen or have faith in something that's not there? So, the Bible, the writings, all these things, they say certain things, but we don't know for sure so since we don't know for sure, fuck it, just have faith. "Oh, God, okay, no problem, because the church said have faith pastor so and so, priest so and so said to have faith got it. Aye, captain, the Pope." Dingo-dango. So, now, we have faith. When faith is present, facts are not. And this is the big mofo. So, when we are talking about death, the biggest fear factor is that we just don't know what it is. We don't know what it looks like. We've never done it before that we're conscious of. And again, whether there's reincarnation, and we did it before, and now we're back, we don't know. And this is the thing, Are the people that regressed and past life regression? Yes. Do we have evidence? Do we have proof for that? No. There are opinions. There are people that come back with stories. There are people that are like, "Oh, my God, in my 40,000 lives I..." cool. Do we have hard evidence, facts, proof that's true? And the answer is no. So, when we look at death, a big problem in religion is that they scare the shit out of us with God. "You must be God fearing." Well, if I'm God, fearing if I fear this, the entity that loved, loves, loved me so much to create me and I'm made in his or their images, I'm now supposed to fear that same entity? Doesn't make any sense but make sure to have faith. And I know this is going on a sort of a religious conversation but it's all we have when it comes to death. So, one day, we're supposed to transition but we're scared of this thing because we were told to fear it. Then we were told that we're not good enough, we're not enough because we're sinners. So, how could we possibly enjoy the passage, the transition as fuck ups? Because we're told that there's a penalty called hell. They don't say that hell is here on Earth right now. It's just a lower vibration, and you can live in it a choice at will. But it's supposed to be an afterlife. How do we know? What proof do we have? Well, they say, well, there's this and that and from Scripture. No, we still don't know. That's, we don't know. Just don't know. You don't when you're in the studio, like I am right now. And there's a fly doing its thing and if I start whacking it, I'm just... my microphone will go flying. Do you guys see it? It's right here. It's right there. I'm I need chopsticks, chopsticks dammit. I'm going to catch this fucker. So, the biggest fear of death is lack of knowledge. We don't know what it is. We don't know what it's going to feel like we don't know what it's going to look like. Some of us fear what our families are gonna have to go through, the pain that they will go through because of this passage. And see what's amazing is that we are so taught and therefore focused on what this life right here is all about, that God forbid, we allow it to go to the next level, to transition into what's natural. Because if you think about it, you came into this body, little sperm, little egg, they connected, and all of a sudden, there's you. And now, you gain life, and you are now the spirit or soul. And then what? Where does this go? Where did it come from? And where does it go? Once we're able to understand that this whole construct of this life here is it, once we understand that this was created for us to fear this whole existence, and then to fear the afterlife, then we can get to a place of okay, cool. So that's a lie. That is bullshit, then can we maybe focus on the fact that it is all one continuum, that it is all one, lineage, meaning my spirit, this energy that's talking right now, yes, I'm in physical form and I'm able to have this conversation because it does require that electric spark and the magnetic push, right, we're electromagnetic beings, were made pretty perfect, we'rere badass, so once we know that, this spirit doesn't die. It is part of the oneness. It's part of the field. It's part of the vibration, we come into body to learn. What did you learn? But see, if they keep us stuck in this day to day routine, make money, gets stressed, have a family, go through the pain, have this kind of disease, eat the wrong shit, we'll feed you some bad food, take some of these pills, we're going to spray the skies, the waters full of fluoride, toothpaste, fluoride, aluminum in the deodorant. So, we're being intoxicated with so much to keep the vibration of all of this very, very low, and to create, obviously, dis-eases in the human body. So, the more we keep dis-eases in the human body, the lower we vibrate called hell. And meanwhile, we're supposed to be these amazing creatures that want to, one day, go through the passage. And we call it a passage because it's just an exit. We're exiting out of the carnal form. But this spirit, did it ever change, did it move? No, it's been here, we came in the ideas to grow my opinion, I could be wrong, but we're here to grow. We're here to learn. We're here to do great things. We're not here to stress out, we're not here to gossip. We're not here to fight amongst each other. We're here to love, and support, and to grow and to help other mankind do better, be better, grow. That's the purpose of all of this. And some people say, well, you know, because I talk a lot about money. And I'm like, yeah, money is very, very important. So, it's like, well, then why if it's just spiritual and we're supposed to love, why do you need money? Well, money is necessary, because it's part of the system today. We get to consume better foods if you have better money, We get to drink better water if you have better money. We get to help other people if you have more money, on and on and on. So, the point of this fearing of the death, there is no death. This is the problem. There is no death. It's this physical body being complete in this cycle. Can we call it death? What was really alive? So, like right now, this physical body, it's moving, it has life through this, only because the spirit is in it right? As soon as it expires, spirit separates. And they're separate entities all of a sudden. So, the true life is the spirit. So, as long as I have the spirit in me, the soul, whatever you want to call it, as long as that is in me, that is the electrical spark to my heart beating, blood flowing, all the things doing what it's built to do, because it's a pretty perfect fucking system. It's so perfect that technically, nobody's really been able to figure out the whole thing. Some have the meridian systems, the western science says something else, and we have all these energy bodies, and then we got the chakras, and fuck, I mean, wow, it's deep. And so, coming to terms with the idea that we are a chunk of God. We are these beautiful, energetic, vibratory essence of God, meaning we're one and I have a piece of this field, God, in me now giving me this energy, this vibration, this electricity. But this electricity doesn't die. Hence, the point, there are people that have physically, clinically been dead for a minute, two, three, whatever, then they come back and body. And they tell stories. So, then what came back in the body? Bingo-bango. What came back and body that had to have left in order for it to come back in. You see the separation, you see the other entity, you see the true entity? So, do we really die? And there are many, many, many, many researchers and doctors and psychiatrists that study this concept called, NDE, Near Death Experience. And what's funny is that... and see, here we go again, near death. If the body died, it fucking died. The soul, the spirit came back in so then was a born again? But it did die. So, it wasn't "near" shit. It did die. But then he came back. And now, we have life again. So, there's thousands, and I studied this stuff, funny enough, in my early 20s I was so interested in all this because I always had this yearning for knowledge when it came to what the fuck is all this? What is it? What is this life? What is this energy? What is this physical body? Why are some fat, some skinny, some healthy, some not, some happy, some miserable, some... what is happening? Why so many religions? Why so many Christian denominations? Right? I was brought up Catholic and then I see all these other first Baptist, second Lutheran, third base, fourth base, home run, I'm like, What is going on? There is one God. There can be multiple creators up there. Imagine the competition, right? Imagine the fighting between, you get my point. There is one. There's one source, there's one power, one energy one Creator, that made all this beautiful thing. Whoo-wee. So, back to near death experiences. I've read, and I've met people, and I've gone to conferences where the topic has been exactly this. And there seems to be a similar conversation after the fact, after the what's called the NDE. And everybody tells a similar story, and the story goes like this that, "Oh, man, it was so beautiful. Everything was peaceful, there was no more pain, everything was just perfect. And you want to live in that forever." It's just this peaceful state of love. And most people would see this white light, far or at a distance, and that technically is the God energy. So, the point would be that if you went to the light, that would be the physical termination, if you will, and you would now move on to whatever is on that side because we don't know. We don't know. But the story would be that there's this light and there's a movie that plays, that flashes before your eyes in what's called a life review. And this life review shows you everything that you did the good bad, the ugly, etc. It's all there. This life review and it's all now, in a split of a second you see it all. So, your life flashes before your eyes. That's where that saying comes from. So, some people come back with like, "Holy shit, I gotta change my life." Some people come back with like, "Wow, like, there's so much I need to do here." Some people come back saying, "Jesus told me not to... that it's not my time." Some other people say, "A big beautiful angel with wings the size of whatever, said it's not my time I got to come back and do blah, blah, blah." So, you have so many different stories of reentering. But that's the end of it. Like nobody that we know has actually gone to the lightning come back. If you, guys, know of someone let me know. Yeah, yeah, so Paula, it is. It's weird, right? Because this is what they don't teach us. Why wouldn't they teach us exactly at least this shit? This stuff that we do have, right, through research, and science, and psychiatrist, and doctors that have studied NDE, and people that have gone through the NDE process. Why not teach this in school like, hey, here's something, chew on this. It might be something you're gonna go through one day, as opposed to nothing just have faith, and hence, the fear. See, fear of the unknown is the ultimate fear. When we don't know, like people going into business. Fuck, think of the fear if you, guys, have owned businesses, you know what I'm talking about the first time at bat. First time you did anything, what was the fear like? Having sex the first time, "Oh my God, what's gonna happen? Am I gonna get her pregnant? Is she gonna get pregnant? Am I gonna be good enough? Am I big enough, am I skinny enough? Am I, oh, my God..." Whoa, the fears that go through. So, fear of the unknown is the ultimate mofo. And same thing happens here. We don't know what's on the other side. We don't know what to expect. So, all the bullshit movies playing in our head of "Shit, am I going to make it to heaven?" Because that's what they taught us. You got to be a good boy, and go to confession, and you got to do jumping jacks, and maybe you'll get into the kingdom of heaven, and, or you're going to go to hell. Right? So, we don't know. And because of this lack of knowledge, we're scared. And we have fear of dying. And we have fear of this beautiful passage. I mean, think about it. Think about how many, because if what the concept teaches is that we go back to God, we go back to the maker, or you fuck up and go to hell. And I believe those are just states of consciousness, levels of consciousness, nothing but vibration. And I believe we're doing that now. You can be in heaven, you can live in hell right now. And everybody is, right? Just what it is. But if what we believe in, and I'm, obviously, I got to talk about the Scripture because that's all we have. And the idea is that you will meet your maker one day. Why the fear? Why the fear? Because what you believe in, God, is there waiting for you and you believe that, why I still fear? And the fears there because of all the bullshit they put in us. I go back to what I said earlier, they scare the shit out of us. Yep, gotta be a God fearing man. Gotta be a God fearing woman. I don't even know what the fuck that means. So, if I fear God, I'm gonna live in fear. And the Bible says, Do not fear 365 times. But I gotta be a God fearing Do not fear but fear. See the controversy there? See the fuckery? So, we're supposed to live these beautiful lives, and be happy, and then be product of the product, and be these good, godly humans and spirits, etc. And all of a sudden, when it comes to the God that made us in His image, her image, its image, we don't know. You know, we're told it's a father but the only birth I know of comes from a female. So, there's your fuckery there as well, we don't know. That's all I'm saying. We just don't know. So, my biggest message today is figure you out because once you understand that you are a chunk of God, you're made by God, the Spirit that is you is perfect, you are amazing, you're you are light, you are vibration, then it's okay. This physical body, we know it's temporary. Every single one of us has been to a funeral. We know it's temporary. So, why worry about it so much? We came in pretty badass, beautiful spirit. I'm talking to you today. And then one day, the spirit will be somewhere else I'll be talking to groups in somewhere in another dimension. I don't know. But this is the beauty. So, I know that the God, God that made all of us, this intelligence, you can call it whatever you want. It doesn't matter. This intelligence that made us, made us pretty perfect. And to create this perfection, there has to be a reason for this entity, this intelligence to make the spirit as powerful as it is in all of us. That right there is pretty badass. So, the excitement should be, bam, I get to connect, reconnect on a spiritual level with the entity that made the spirit. Whoa. Now, that's cool. So, going into the concept of understanding that we are spirits, and we're not these physical beings, this is nothing but temporary. So, all the stress, you're holding, all the Dis-ease, you're holding all the fighting you're holding all the anger you're holding all the animosity you're holding, all the envy you're holding, guess what? That's nothing but temporary yet it drops your vibration, it takes your vibratory level down, and it does affect the spirit. Because we're here to grow, not the opposite. So, understanding self-development, understanding self-growth, understanding to turn limiting beliefs and thoughts into powerful self-empowering thoughts and beliefs, that's the goal. So, take your fear and flip the script on the bitch. This is a message here today. Just like we talked about the public speaking, where you're going to go up in front of an audience flip the script from you to them. I'm here for them. I'm here to serve them. I'm here to bless them. I'm going to, God is going to talk through me, my angels are going to talk through, me my... whoever ancestors, whatever you believe in, are going to talk through me to help that one person in the audience, boom. Everything about me just went away. So, now, if I get over my physical and I connect with my God center, my spirit, and I know that I am a chunk of God, I am a piece of this field, then pretty perfect. I'm going to reconnect with the Maker where this came from. Yeah, that's pretty cool. So, that's a flip the script. You make it about God. Make it about the Creator. Whoo. There's that. Our mind is very powerful. Yes, it is. It says on the Bible. Yes, it is. Whoever wrote that. Don't know because we still, like to this day, there's... yeah, we're not going to get into the Bible as to who wrote it. Most people don't even know the original New Testament, what language it was written in? Most people don't. And that's how you know how little we know because it's been manipulated. It's been changed, it's been altered. It's been... then who created it, when it was created? By whom? Who paid for it? Who are the people that were hired to write it? And what language? Ding ding ding ding. So, anyway, God is God, the manipulation of what humans did to create all this bullshit. that's a different story. God is still God. That is the power. So, and that I do know. "I needed this today when you fall off the wagon, like I have, you pop in. Thank you." Oh, you're welcome. Yeah, so listen, we, I think we all need it. You know what I mean? We all have moments, and we all have, we're all at different levels, right? I've been studying this shit for a long time. I've been practicing this a long time. Do I have moments and other level? Absolutely. We all have moments but we all have to have new information, new messages, new coaches, new things that we absorb to get us to higher vibrations. I have the people I go to. I have my coaches. I have the stuff I listen to. Why? Because we don't stop growing. This evolution is constantly evolving. That's why it's called evolution. It doesn't stop. Look at the sun. It keeps going in circles around this flat Earth. Nonstop. It doesn't stop. It doesn't take, "Oh, it's shit today. Fuck, I'm not feeling well. I'm going to pause. I'm going to sit right here now. So, that side of the world going to be dark. I'm tired." No, it's a beautiful evolutionary system. And it keeps on ticking. And all we are is we're a part of the same ecosystem. That's all this all is. We're part of the same ecosystem anyway. So, you guys rock, you're amazing. We're going to wrap it up now.
