In our conversation with Chuck Thurston, co-founder of Urantia Book Films, we discuss the general and long term influence of the Urantia Revelation on contemporary society, touching on many topics of major importance having to do with the spiritual welfare of our world.

1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,920
All right.
Coming up is our interview with

2
00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,360
Chuck Thurston on this edition
of the Rancho Radio Podcast.

3
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,200
Don't forget to follow us online

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,720
the home of the Rancho Radio
podcast.

6
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,280
We'll talk for about an hour and
we're going to cover a whole

7
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,400
host of very interesting topics.
My time with Chuck Thurston in

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,560
just a moment on the Rancho
Radio podcast

9
00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:43,820
and that's why I wanted to bring
you on because you wrote

10
00:00:43,820 --> 00:00:45,940
something that I had an
opportunity.

11
00:00:47,340 --> 00:00:51,180
One of my listeners sent me what
you wrote and we were happen to

12
00:00:51,180 --> 00:00:55,340
be talking about the Lucifer
influence in today's world and

13
00:00:55,340 --> 00:00:58,770
Calagastia and his role and I
found what you wrote to be

14
00:00:58,770 --> 00:01:01,450
absolutely fascinating about
that.

15
00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:02,970
No.
Cool.

16
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:06,330
Yeah, is.
That the adjudication time

17
00:01:06,370 --> 00:01:10,850
frame, yes, talking about the
expansion of time and how time

18
00:01:10,850 --> 00:01:13,690
is different for us than it is.
So I want to get to a little bit

19
00:01:13,690 --> 00:01:16,730
about that, but I do want to
kind of do a little bit of an

20
00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:19,050
introduction.
Chuck Thurston started reading

21
00:01:19,050 --> 00:01:22,690
the Rancho book in the mid 70s
and after exploring many other

22
00:01:22,690 --> 00:01:26,120
sources, spiritual insight, the
discovery of the ranch book, he

23
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,960
says and its teachings mark the
beginning of a new and

24
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:32,200
profoundly life changing growth
and understanding of the nature

25
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,560
of God and the meaning of our
existence.

26
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,600
You know, I think we all kind of
have that same thing in common,

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,240
don't we?
Yeah.

28
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,240
Yeah, I think we do.
What did you, what had you tried

29
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:47,800
before?
All kinds of things.

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,080
You know, like what were some of
your?

31
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,480
You know, things that were
popular in the 60s and 70s?

32
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,390
Yeah, EST.
That was one of them, right?

33
00:01:53,390 --> 00:01:57,030
I never, I never got into Ask
Earhart seminars, seminars,

34
00:01:57,030 --> 00:01:58,550
training.
Yeah, I had a lot of friends who

35
00:01:58,550 --> 00:02:01,390
did, but I never did that the
way the way it was.

36
00:02:01,390 --> 00:02:04,310
I think I might have been part
of a church group that had the

37
00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:07,110
way, because I remember our our
Bible looked a little different

38
00:02:07,110 --> 00:02:09,990
from everybody else's.
But it was basically a sort of a

39
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:14,230
hippie Jesus religion, you know?
Yeah, yeah.

40
00:02:14,350 --> 00:02:17,590
No, I didn't run that so much.
But I was in like Alan Watts and

41
00:02:17,710 --> 00:02:21,830
Timothy Leary and some Eastern
Eastern philosophies.

42
00:02:22,140 --> 00:02:23,740
Yeah, things like that.
Sure.

43
00:02:23,740 --> 00:02:27,100
Maharesh Mahesh Yogi.
Studied some of that and some of

44
00:02:27,100 --> 00:02:30,260
the Indian philosophies too.
I mean the India in India.

45
00:02:30,260 --> 00:02:34,460
They evolved the largest concept
of Infinity I think I've ever

46
00:02:34,460 --> 00:02:37,260
found anywhere.
I mean they had a sense of

47
00:02:37,300 --> 00:02:41,500
eternity and Infinity that was
missing from most cultural

48
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:43,940
philosophies.
I found that very intriguing.

49
00:02:44,380 --> 00:02:49,020
Did you read Byron Belitso's
book about the Odyssey?

50
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:52,340
Recently came out with that one.
I didn't don't mean to throw it

51
00:02:52,340 --> 00:02:57,260
at you at it quickly, but he
kind of touched on the The

52
00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:59,660
Odyssey and he's again talking
about Odyssey.

53
00:02:59,660 --> 00:03:01,700
Yeah, about.
Yeah, I've looked at some of

54
00:03:01,700 --> 00:03:04,220
that.
The the basis of it being if

55
00:03:04,220 --> 00:03:07,460
there's a God, why does why are
bad things allowed to happen?

56
00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:09,780
So he really kind of delves into
that.

57
00:03:11,180 --> 00:03:15,860
But there is the common thing
that I'm getting from a lot of

58
00:03:15,860 --> 00:03:20,260
people that's different now in
this decade than it was in in

59
00:03:20,260 --> 00:03:23,320
the twenty 10s.
And the certainly the first part

60
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,640
of the first part of the new
century is that it's become

61
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:32,840
dark, and I'm not sure why.
It seems like it's harder and

62
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,440
harder to have faith, but it's
actually strengthened my own

63
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,760
resolve in the ranch book.
I've never been more convinced

64
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,240
now that the ranch book is what
it says it is because it's now

65
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,040
it's offering solutions to
problems that maybe weren't so

66
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,080
prominent in the 1990s, You
know?

67
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,960
And you know, they talk about,
right?

68
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,480
I mean, we weren't worried about
totalitarianism when I first

69
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,080
started reading the ranch book.
But they dedicate an entire

70
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,760
chapter to it and they give,
they give instruction to us.

71
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,080
It's almost as if they're giving
us something to help us save

72
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:10,480
ourselves from something that
you know, Am I wrong in feeling

73
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,640
that?
Way well the threat is the

74
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:15,960
threat is always there and it's
certainly been there big time in

75
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,000
the long over the last hundred
couple, 100 years.

76
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,440
So I'm not sure it really went
away, but maybe we're we were

77
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:26,880
distracted by other things.
But the rise of social media has

78
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:29,240
made me much more aware of a lot
of things.

79
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,640
I mean, you can't escape it if
you if you take an independent

80
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,400
and you know, if you hold an
independence of mind and just

81
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,720
look to see what's out there.
Not necessarily going to the

82
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,240
mainstream news sources, you
know, which tend to have a very

83
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,080
indoctrinating effect, because
I'm sure you're aware, yeah,

84
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,440
it's changed.
Side of that, if you look

85
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,680
outside of that, then you begin
to see more clearly, I think

86
00:04:52,280 --> 00:04:55,320
some of these dark forces that
are in play and also the good

87
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,080
forces that are rising up in
opposition.

88
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,720
I mean, that's one of the things
I find so encouraging about

89
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,440
citizen journalism and the, you
know, the rise of independent,

90
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,160
you know, podcasters and
Youtubers and things like that.

91
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,000
Some of them are heroic in my
mind.

92
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,320
I mean, they're so dedicated to
keeping a show out sometimes

93
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,540
every day.
They do so much research, it's

94
00:05:17,540 --> 00:05:21,580
just remarkable.
So if you find there's good

95
00:05:21,580 --> 00:05:25,620
stuff out there online, if you
can find it, you know, you just

96
00:05:25,620 --> 00:05:28,300
have to have your mind open and
then we'll, you know, have a

97
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:32,380
have a desire for an alternate
view on things.

98
00:05:32,460 --> 00:05:35,580
And it is out there, and there's
a lot of it that I find very

99
00:05:35,580 --> 00:05:40,100
encouraging, but it's also being
oppressed, you know, suppressed

100
00:05:40,500 --> 00:05:42,960
and bugs.
Throttle, there's a real,

101
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,520
there's real battle going on.
I mean, it's been going on for a

102
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,640
long time, ever since the
rebellion broke out, but it's

103
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,680
kind of relocated to this sphere
of information.

104
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:01,400
You know, the control of
information is a big, big part

105
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,080
of what?
Where the struggle is taking

106
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,040
place right now, it is because
there are people who have a

107
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,860
certain agenda.
Maybe they view humanity, see

108
00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:13,340
it.
You know, To me, the number one

109
00:06:13,340 --> 00:06:16,660
problem in the world is that we
have a lot of millionaires and a

110
00:06:16,660 --> 00:06:19,020
lot of people of tremendous
influence.

111
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:23,380
The Mark Zuckerbergs and and and
man, the thing that I'd like to

112
00:06:23,380 --> 00:06:28,140
do is you shove A Urancho book
into their hands and send them

113
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:31,140
away for a year and make them
read that book.

114
00:06:31,140 --> 00:06:33,540
Because what I see, No,
seriously.

115
00:06:33,540 --> 00:06:36,320
Because, you know, yeah, they
have these illusions of

116
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,800
grandeur.
They're going to chemtrail the

117
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,560
the skies and control the
weather.

118
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,000
And they're going to do all
these radicalized, dehumanized,

119
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,880
atomized.
And I know the most highs must

120
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,200
be looking down at these these
people and going, what are these

121
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,800
guys doing?
Do any of them know about the

122
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,520
ranch book?
Yeah, probably not.

123
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,480
Well, it's really, it's a
godless kind of thinking too.

124
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,700
Yeah, it's like it's like self.
Self dedification, you know, we

125
00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:09,380
need to deify the human race as
opposed to turning to God for,

126
00:07:09,660 --> 00:07:12,940
you know, a sense of reality and
guidance.

127
00:07:13,660 --> 00:07:16,420
It's wanting to usurp that.
I mean, that's what Lucifer was

128
00:07:16,420 --> 00:07:18,740
about, you know, His whole
rebellion was about self

129
00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:22,380
dedification, denying the
existence of the Universal

130
00:07:22,380 --> 00:07:25,660
Father and positing himself as
God.

131
00:07:25,660 --> 00:07:28,940
Or like Calligasi said, calling
himself God of Urantia.

132
00:07:29,890 --> 00:07:33,290
So that that pattern of self
dedification runs all through

133
00:07:33,290 --> 00:07:38,490
our culture where, you know,
there's a hubris, there's a self

134
00:07:38,490 --> 00:07:45,210
aggrandizing dimension to it
that has no real moral limits.

135
00:07:45,210 --> 00:07:49,650
And that's part of the problem,
because there's no higher sense

136
00:07:49,650 --> 00:07:52,890
of reality that we're all part
of, you know, the part in the

137
00:07:52,890 --> 00:07:56,070
whole relationship.
You know, I think part of the

138
00:07:56,070 --> 00:08:00,790
secret of moving forward is
individuals voluntarily taking

139
00:08:00,790 --> 00:08:06,590
responsibility for the good of
the whole, and that everyone has

140
00:08:06,590 --> 00:08:10,110
a mind toward that.
Then it's not just about more

141
00:08:10,110 --> 00:08:12,630
for me, it's about what's good
for everybody.

142
00:08:13,430 --> 00:08:18,590
And that's a real change in
thinking that gradually, I'm

143
00:08:18,590 --> 00:08:21,800
sure will occur.
Over the future age, well,

144
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:24,400
eventually we'll get there.
I think eventually we have the

145
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,520
potential.
You know, there's a couple.

146
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,200
Of lines, of course.
One line when in talking about

147
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,720
the different governments and
how they evolve at different

148
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,600
rates, there's a comment, I'm
not sure exactly where it is,

149
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,520
where where it talks about
certain republics are even now

150
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,320
in formation.
So they may be talking about,

151
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,520
you know, maybe some African
governments right now that are

152
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,600
in their fetal stage and they
haven't quite emerged to that

153
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,960
point.
Or maybe you know some European

154
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,400
nations that have the potential,
you know, to go on to be, you

155
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,080
know, sort of higher achieving.
Another quote I'll throw out

156
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,120
there.
It says when 3/4 of the youth

157
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:09,520
are distracted or focused on the
external world, civilization is

158
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,280
in danger and and man well.
Think about STEM.

159
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,360
Think about STEM.
That's what STEM is.

160
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,840
Science, Technology, engineering
and Mathematics.

161
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,760
So China, you know, it's all
about STEM.

162
00:09:20,180 --> 00:09:22,940
And they're an officially
atheistic country in their

163
00:09:22,940 --> 00:09:25,900
philosophy, so that's an example
of that.

164
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:28,940
There's no attention at all.
I mean within at least the STEM

165
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:34,540
concept for philosophy or
literature or religion.

166
00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:37,580
And you know, any of those
things that we know brings

167
00:09:37,580 --> 00:09:42,540
closer to God and have the real
true unifying and uplifting

168
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:46,540
influence, I think better
potential because it's not there

169
00:09:46,740 --> 00:09:48,460
in China.
You're not seeing the youth

170
00:09:49,270 --> 00:09:51,790
smash and grab.
You're not seeing the youth

171
00:09:51,790 --> 00:09:55,190
10,000 people showing up one day
in downtown New York City

172
00:09:55,270 --> 00:09:57,070
because they want to.
You're seeing that here.

173
00:09:57,070 --> 00:09:59,910
We're supposed to be the
enlightened ones, but we're not

174
00:09:59,910 --> 00:10:00,110
I.
Mean.

175
00:10:00,150 --> 00:10:02,110
They do have.
They do have, you know.

176
00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:04,870
Yeah, outbreaks of opposition
from time to time.

177
00:10:04,990 --> 00:10:07,670
But what we're seeing here is
something different.

178
00:10:07,950 --> 00:10:11,390
What we're seeing different here
is more like how it was when the

179
00:10:11,390 --> 00:10:13,510
Communists were taking over.
Yeah.

180
00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:17,590
Like the the Great Leap Forward
or you know what Stalin or what

181
00:10:17,590 --> 00:10:20,110
Lenin and those guys were doing
in Russia back when they were

182
00:10:20,310 --> 00:10:21,910
massacring all the Christians
and stuff.

183
00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:26,190
So what we're seeing here is
kind of the early stage of a

184
00:10:26,190 --> 00:10:27,830
Communist takeover, you might
say.

185
00:10:27,830 --> 00:10:29,950
Or it has that look about it.
It does, yeah.

186
00:10:31,110 --> 00:10:34,510
And that's kind of what's
disturbing about it is that the

187
00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:39,310
ideological struggle that you
think is going on between

188
00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:42,870
secularism and and Jesus's
teachings.

189
00:10:42,870 --> 00:10:46,170
What's the in your mind?
What is the great conflict that

190
00:10:46,490 --> 00:10:51,650
the world right now is is going
through based on your knowledge

191
00:10:51,650 --> 00:10:53,610
of the ranch book and your own
wisdom?

192
00:10:54,890 --> 00:10:58,050
Well, you know, it has different
phases and different levels to

193
00:10:58,050 --> 00:11:02,490
it, but I have noticed that when
something good comes along, it's

194
00:11:02,610 --> 00:11:07,610
almost inevitably opposed by
something destructive to try and

195
00:11:07,610 --> 00:11:14,060
take it down so.
The forces of destruction are

196
00:11:14,460 --> 00:11:19,220
very active and responsive to
good things when they do begin

197
00:11:19,220 --> 00:11:22,580
to happen.
So we kind of have to be on our

198
00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:26,740
guard and aware of that.
As you know, we proceed with our

199
00:11:26,740 --> 00:11:29,340
efforts, you know, to bring the
truth of the Ranch book into the

200
00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:32,940
world and give people a real
understanding of Jesus and who

201
00:11:32,940 --> 00:11:35,300
he was and what he taught.
You know, that's going to be

202
00:11:35,300 --> 00:11:38,140
opposed.
There's just no way to for that.

203
00:11:38,430 --> 00:11:40,190
You know, there's no way to
avoid that.

204
00:11:40,230 --> 00:11:43,190
But we can be wise about how we
proceed and have some

205
00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:45,630
understanding and some
anticipation.

206
00:11:45,630 --> 00:11:48,790
Maybe it's the kinds of
opposition that will come up so

207
00:11:48,790 --> 00:11:51,550
that we can, you know, kind of
be strong about it and perhaps

208
00:11:51,550 --> 00:11:54,150
avoid some of the obvious
pitfalls.

209
00:11:55,110 --> 00:12:00,270
Do you think that the Uranture
do you, in that line of thought?

210
00:12:00,990 --> 00:12:03,910
And do you think that the
Uranchable can hold up against

211
00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:05,950
any arguments that would be
pitted against it?

212
00:12:06,970 --> 00:12:09,650
In other words, what you know.
I don't think a lot depends on

213
00:12:10,450 --> 00:12:14,170
who's doing the arguing.
Certainly possible.

214
00:12:14,210 --> 00:12:16,530
Yeah, of course.
I mean, I mean, the ranch book

215
00:12:16,530 --> 00:12:20,170
itself argues for itself very
convincingly as far as I'm

216
00:12:20,170 --> 00:12:23,610
concerned.
But for a human, you know, for

217
00:12:23,610 --> 00:12:27,530
one of us, like you or me or
those we know that are dedicated

218
00:12:27,530 --> 00:12:34,130
to this work, we have to develop
the the understanding to present

219
00:12:34,250 --> 00:12:38,390
the arguments in our own words.
So we're not just quoting

220
00:12:38,390 --> 00:12:40,830
passages out of the book that we
actually have a lived

221
00:12:40,830 --> 00:12:44,430
understanding that we can refer
to and put into words that's

222
00:12:44,430 --> 00:12:47,230
compelling and attractive.
That's see, that's the other

223
00:12:47,230 --> 00:12:49,870
part of it has to be attractive.
I mean, there's nothing

224
00:12:49,870 --> 00:12:52,830
attractive about destruction.
There's nothing attractive about

225
00:12:52,830 --> 00:12:56,590
sin and evil.
It appears to have power because

226
00:12:56,590 --> 00:13:00,350
it has force behind it.
But the consequences of it are

227
00:13:00,350 --> 00:13:02,110
not attractive.
They're not appealing.

228
00:13:02,110 --> 00:13:03,590
It's not something you want to
be part of.

229
00:13:04,230 --> 00:13:07,910
So what we have on our side is
something very, very attractive

230
00:13:08,390 --> 00:13:11,390
and we have to know how to
present it in an attractive way.

231
00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:14,950
And beyond that, create a
culture around it that's

232
00:13:14,950 --> 00:13:18,350
attractive.
And that's I think sort of the

233
00:13:18,350 --> 00:13:21,190
project we're all working on.
You know, like Derek and I on

234
00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:24,430
our podcast or your work you're
doing work others are doing.

235
00:13:24,870 --> 00:13:28,710
We're creating a culture little
by little, you know, slowly, but

236
00:13:28,710 --> 00:13:32,150
it's emerging and there's a
character to that culture.

237
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,400
That is inherently appealing to
anyone that has their heart open

238
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,920
or their spiritual eyes open.
They'll respond to that and see

239
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:42,400
it and say, yeah, I want to be
part of that.

240
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,880
I want to, I want to help.
What can I do?

241
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,880
You know, that sort of spirit
that draws upon the originality

242
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:55,800
and initiative that we each have
in potential within us to

243
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,320
express our spirit, you know,
divine.

244
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:03,780
Spirit, inspiration, you know we
have all these gifts.

245
00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:06,020
It's spirit.
You know, our threefold spirit

246
00:14:06,020 --> 00:14:08,740
endowment with the thought of
gesture and spirit of truth and

247
00:14:10,020 --> 00:14:11,740
the and the Holy Spirit from the
Mother.

248
00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:15,660
Spirit that is very powerful,
very powerful stuff that we've

249
00:14:15,660 --> 00:14:18,740
been given.
But we need to understand and

250
00:14:18,740 --> 00:14:22,540
discover how to experience it.
You know, like Jesus said, you

251
00:14:22,540 --> 00:14:27,180
know the important thing is
growing in your ability to feel

252
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:31,180
the presence of God.
And that I've always taken that

253
00:14:31,180 --> 00:14:34,300
comment of his very, very much
to heart.

254
00:14:35,180 --> 00:14:37,460
Yeah.
Because that's that's really the

255
00:14:37,460 --> 00:14:42,940
transforming type of experience.
Yeah, That, you know, brings us,

256
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:46,380
yeah, closer to God.
I guess one way of saying it is,

257
00:14:46,380 --> 00:14:48,100
you know, I was thinking as
you're speaking and you're

258
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:51,260
saying some really compelling
moving stuff, but it's like

259
00:14:51,580 --> 00:14:53,180
veganism isn't just what you
eat.

260
00:14:53,180 --> 00:14:57,140
It's a lifestyle, you know.
And in the same way religion is,

261
00:14:57,180 --> 00:14:59,580
It should be religion.
Real meaning.

262
00:14:59,580 --> 00:15:03,220
Everything in your life has to
be a spiritual thing.

263
00:15:03,220 --> 00:15:04,900
And there's a connection through
all of it.

264
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:08,380
It's not separated parts.
You know, sometimes people have

265
00:15:08,980 --> 00:15:12,180
to think religious is being
okay, You got to be religious or

266
00:15:12,180 --> 00:15:13,300
you got to believe certain
things.

267
00:15:13,620 --> 00:15:16,060
Well, it's actually a convictive
tissue that ties everything in

268
00:15:16,060 --> 00:15:20,740
your life together because you
know that, like knowing about

269
00:15:20,740 --> 00:15:26,060
the mansion worlds, for example.
Having that literal explain to

270
00:15:26,060 --> 00:15:29,660
me what is actually going to
happen tells me that I'm going

271
00:15:29,660 --> 00:15:31,620
to be held accountable for
everything I do here.

272
00:15:32,620 --> 00:15:35,460
So why not start living that
life now?

273
00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:40,540
You know, why can't we live the
lives that the truth that Jesus

274
00:15:40,540 --> 00:15:44,260
taught us now?
Not because we want to be

275
00:15:44,620 --> 00:15:47,740
forgiven or receive salvation.
That's an assumption.

276
00:15:48,100 --> 00:15:50,860
The assumption's already there.
You know you by your faith,

277
00:15:50,860 --> 00:15:53,840
you're safe, right?
So why can't religion just be a

278
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,920
real, real, realistic approach
to living life as a spiritual

279
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,640
person?
Doing things, just knowing that

280
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,320
you're doing something good for
somebody else is God's will.

281
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,520
And it's nothing more or less
than that.

282
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,160
But you know.
Yeah, you can start that way,

283
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:09,000
yeah.
Yeah.

284
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:11,720
Well, and then of course the
piece about sharing the inner

285
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,600
life with God, You know, that's
kind of their working definition

286
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,270
of doing God's will.
Is sharing our inner life with

287
00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:21,950
God.
So that means being in constant

288
00:16:21,950 --> 00:16:25,190
communion, just always checking
with God, having conversation,

289
00:16:25,190 --> 00:16:31,150
having communion, having what I
call a feeling of withness, the

290
00:16:31,270 --> 00:16:34,910
feeling of being with God all
the time.

291
00:16:35,830 --> 00:16:38,710
And that transforms us, you
know, because it's sort of an

292
00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:41,710
entrainment almost, you know
that, Familiar with that concept

293
00:16:41,710 --> 00:16:45,470
of entrainment.
You know what I mean by that?

294
00:16:46,950 --> 00:16:48,430
Like you have two vibrating
things.

295
00:16:48,430 --> 00:16:50,750
They're vibrating at different
rates, but after a little while

296
00:16:50,750 --> 00:16:52,230
they start vibrating at the same
rate.

297
00:16:52,630 --> 00:16:56,070
Yeah, I've seen that.
It's amazing how energy is.

298
00:16:56,150 --> 00:16:57,670
Yeah, sort of like that.
So.

299
00:16:58,030 --> 00:17:00,390
Yeah.
So, so we're invited to entrain

300
00:17:00,390 --> 00:17:03,670
with Spirit.
So for our thinking to become

301
00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:09,510
more and more it's true to
Spirit values for example.

302
00:17:10,150 --> 00:17:13,190
And that's kind of what our
adjuster gives us, it gives us

303
00:17:13,190 --> 00:17:16,270
you know?
Pictureization is a destiny, but

304
00:17:16,270 --> 00:17:18,510
it's always in value terms, I
think.

305
00:17:19,150 --> 00:17:25,230
So when we seek guidance, what
that's going to come through

306
00:17:25,230 --> 00:17:28,109
value guidance.
So like I say, the one thing we

307
00:17:28,109 --> 00:17:32,270
can always ask for, you know, in
terms of prayer, is knowledge of

308
00:17:32,270 --> 00:17:36,870
the Father's will that we can
always ask for and then try to

309
00:17:36,870 --> 00:17:41,470
put that into practice.
But it has to be a result of our

310
00:17:41,470 --> 00:17:44,310
own efforts.
You know, we have to try to try

311
00:17:44,310 --> 00:17:48,310
to figure it out ourselves, but
we'll get an inner sense.

312
00:17:48,310 --> 00:17:50,990
You know that sense of this is
the way walk there in.

313
00:17:50,990 --> 00:17:53,670
You know when they talk about
the spirit of truth, you know,

314
00:17:53,670 --> 00:17:57,430
at every crossroads and I'm sure
you've had that experience, I

315
00:17:57,430 --> 00:18:00,950
think all of us probably have
that, you know, an active faith

316
00:18:00,950 --> 00:18:04,840
engagement with God where.
Or flummoxed or puzzled by some

317
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:07,160
situation that's come up.
We can decide what to do, but

318
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,160
we've identified the options,
right?

319
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,200
I can do this.
I can do this or I can do that.

320
00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:14,920
You know, we put in the work in
that sense and then we lay it

321
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,000
before God, and we get kind of a
just a value insight.

322
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,640
It's kind of almost mysterious,
but there's a feeling about one

323
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,560
of those options that feels
right.

324
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,400
And once that happens, it's
obvious, Oh yeah, of course.

325
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,880
That's the right thing to do,
you know.

326
00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:36,830
And the way that happens, it's
an it works on the evaluation

327
00:18:36,830 --> 00:18:39,350
level.
So you think about decisions.

328
00:18:39,430 --> 00:18:41,990
There's always been evaluations.
That's one of the things I've

329
00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:45,830
talked about at Burning Man.
Yes, there's a sequence of

330
00:18:45,830 --> 00:18:49,510
reality flow that, you know, we
discover after a while.

331
00:18:49,510 --> 00:18:52,670
So at Burning Man, I used the,
the example of, like, going to

332
00:18:52,670 --> 00:18:54,990
Burning Man, right.
So the person's like, well, am I

333
00:18:54,990 --> 00:18:56,070
going to go to Burning Man or
not?

334
00:18:56,390 --> 00:18:59,770
So they have to evaluate that
decision, right?

335
00:18:59,970 --> 00:19:02,210
Yeah.
So if they evaluate the decision

336
00:19:02,210 --> 00:19:05,370
and decide that, yes, they want
to do that, then they have to do

337
00:19:05,370 --> 00:19:07,450
all the preparations.
And that's where it gets on to

338
00:19:07,490 --> 00:19:09,610
the mind level.
That's think of all the stuff

339
00:19:09,610 --> 00:19:12,090
they got to get together in
order to actually make it there.

340
00:19:12,770 --> 00:19:15,450
And then finally, you know, they
get in their car or their truck

341
00:19:15,450 --> 00:19:17,530
and whatever, they hit the road
and that's when it's the

342
00:19:17,530 --> 00:19:21,090
material level.
So there's this reality flow

343
00:19:21,130 --> 00:19:25,490
that always goes from values to
meanings to engagement with

344
00:19:25,490 --> 00:19:28,170
material reality.
And I don't think people

345
00:19:28,170 --> 00:19:31,650
understand that very well.
I mean, for me, one of the great

346
00:19:31,650 --> 00:19:35,250
revelations of the Ranch book is
this understanding of reality,

347
00:19:35,250 --> 00:19:39,330
having these three levels, you
know, body, mind and spirit, and

348
00:19:39,330 --> 00:19:43,250
they're real.
And we can engage those 3 levels

349
00:19:44,250 --> 00:19:48,090
in our growth and decision
making processes and everything

350
00:19:48,090 --> 00:19:50,530
we do.
How much of it?

351
00:19:51,530 --> 00:19:55,730
What are the building blocks
that you have to kind of have in

352
00:19:55,730 --> 00:19:59,200
order to be able to go in the
direction you're talking about

353
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,200
where you can?
In other words, what's the

354
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:08,200
What's the key curiosity?
Curiosity is a big one.

355
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,560
I mean it it begins with urges.
I think, you know, I recently

356
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,320
been doing some studies stuff
and we did a podcast, whatever.

357
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,480
But about the adjutant mind
spirits and they're all

358
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,640
described as, they're all
described as urges, which is

359
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,720
kind of a revelation.
When I noticed that, I didn't.

360
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,960
I didn't noticed that until
pretty recently.

361
00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:30,910
I mean, the first couple are
described more as intuitions and

362
00:20:30,910 --> 00:20:36,670
impulses, but the other five are
clearly described as urges.

363
00:20:37,430 --> 00:20:41,030
And so those have been put
within us to motivate us to get

364
00:20:41,030 --> 00:20:44,070
us moving.
So like recently I visited my

365
00:20:44,070 --> 00:20:46,310
daughter.
She has a 2 year old son, right?

366
00:20:47,350 --> 00:20:51,990
He's such a bundle of urges.
He can't believe it, but it's

367
00:20:52,150 --> 00:20:56,480
urges and frustrations.
It's this combination of urges

368
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,920
and frustrations, you know, and
that's why 2 year olds are

369
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,160
always, you know, you get all
upset, you know, but then they

370
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,200
try again.
But it's the urges to keep us

371
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,400
moving, you know, It's like the
urge to communicate.

372
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,200
For example, the spirit of
council, they have the urge to

373
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,120
these little 2 year old.
Yeah, he's learning words like

374
00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:17,240
one word at a time.
You know, he's just now

375
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,600
beginning to string them
together into these sort of make

376
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,490
believe sentences.
But it's all about this urge to

377
00:21:23,490 --> 00:21:25,490
communicate.
This is the spirit of council.

378
00:21:26,210 --> 00:21:28,570
So that urge drives our
development.

379
00:21:29,810 --> 00:21:32,810
Those urges, Dr. Our development
and the thought of justice is

380
00:21:32,810 --> 00:21:37,610
also described as an urge, and
that's our highest spiritual

381
00:21:37,650 --> 00:21:40,090
urge.
So the urge to know God is

382
00:21:40,090 --> 00:21:43,050
natural within us if we don't
suppress it or deny it.

383
00:21:43,250 --> 00:21:48,090
Or if you've been taught and
that, yeah, but even that isn't

384
00:21:48,090 --> 00:21:49,930
true because you know, following
gong.

385
00:21:50,610 --> 00:21:52,810
Is a good example.
You know, for 100 years these

386
00:21:52,810 --> 00:21:56,050
people were taught not to go
anywhere near religion or they

387
00:21:56,050 --> 00:22:00,250
could risk being imprisoned.
And yet, somehow, some spiritual

388
00:22:00,250 --> 00:22:03,850
idea enveloped 100 million
people over a 10 year period.

389
00:22:04,850 --> 00:22:06,850
Yeah, yeah.
Look at the brutality of the

390
00:22:06,890 --> 00:22:10,770
suppression of that.
Yeah, but you're still emerged

391
00:22:10,770 --> 00:22:12,450
like a flower grows through a
crack.

392
00:22:13,130 --> 00:22:16,650
You know, it's a great, that's a
great example, yeah.

393
00:22:17,780 --> 00:22:20,020
But you're right.
God is reaching down.

394
00:22:20,220 --> 00:22:23,300
What did I read the quote of the
day today was the sun will not

395
00:22:23,300 --> 00:22:27,060
be satisfied till every mortal
has found God or something.

396
00:22:27,060 --> 00:22:28,860
You know there's there's a
reaching down.

397
00:22:29,340 --> 00:22:31,940
Something is pulling us in.
No, I agree.

398
00:22:32,100 --> 00:22:34,940
Yeah, yeah.
Every time we reach up, there's

399
00:22:34,940 --> 00:22:36,660
a down.
There's always an upreach in the

400
00:22:36,660 --> 00:22:39,620
downreach going on
simultaneously.

401
00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:43,620
What I want to I don't.
I want to go to something now

402
00:22:43,620 --> 00:22:47,160
that I my instincts tell me.
But you have a lot to say about

403
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:48,600
it.
What do you think the role?

404
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,280
What do you think the
relationship will be?

405
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,560
Or maybe, what do you hope the
relationship will be between

406
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,240
Christians and your ranchons?
Do we need each other?

407
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,320
Yeah.
Well, that's a really

408
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,080
interesting question.
I didn't grow up with a really

409
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,400
strong, I mean, my family
background is all Christian, but

410
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,120
my parents were more academics.
My dad was more of a science

411
00:23:14,120 --> 00:23:17,590
guy.
I mean, my mom held on to or

412
00:23:17,590 --> 00:23:22,270
Christianity more than my father
did, but not that they ever lost

413
00:23:22,270 --> 00:23:26,670
it, but it to some extent it
lost credibility, which I think

414
00:23:26,670 --> 00:23:30,750
is what a lot of us have seen.
You know that the Christianity I

415
00:23:30,750 --> 00:23:35,490
grew up with at least didn't,
you know, too much of it just

416
00:23:35,490 --> 00:23:37,930
seemed like it was made-up or
weird, you know, like virgin

417
00:23:37,930 --> 00:23:40,170
births and things like that.
You know, it's just like there's

418
00:23:40,170 --> 00:23:42,690
a loss of credibility if you're
coming from more of a scientific

419
00:23:42,690 --> 00:23:45,450
background, which I did because
that was kind of the culture of

420
00:23:45,450 --> 00:23:47,490
my family, especially with my
father.

421
00:23:48,650 --> 00:23:53,050
So I'd always put things through
this kind of a reality test in

422
00:23:53,050 --> 00:23:56,570
my thinking, you know.
And with my dad, you could

423
00:23:56,570 --> 00:23:58,970
always tell me this.
The only way to determine

424
00:23:58,970 --> 00:24:01,370
reality is through the
repeatable experiment.

425
00:24:03,410 --> 00:24:07,120
So that that's a principle
within within science.

426
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,120
You know, if you can repeat the
same experiment the same way,

427
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:12,120
then that shows that there's
something there, right?

428
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,240
And that works on the material,
that works on the material

429
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,800
level.
But then how do you address the

430
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,760
levels of philosophy and spirit?
You know, all the all the good

431
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,880
stuff, you know, beauty, truth
and goodness, those things, you

432
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,090
know, right?
And you know, our conversations

433
00:24:29,090 --> 00:24:30,850
didn't go too far in those
directions.

434
00:24:30,890 --> 00:24:33,410
But then I found the ranch book,
tried to show it to him, and he

435
00:24:33,410 --> 00:24:35,930
said, oh, this is the science
that is this what they believed

436
00:24:35,930 --> 00:24:38,330
in the 50s, you know.
So he kind of dismissed it,

437
00:24:38,530 --> 00:24:41,770
which is frustrating without
even looking at the rest of it.

438
00:24:42,530 --> 00:24:45,050
So you don't necessarily think
that Christians are going to

439
00:24:45,130 --> 00:24:49,530
adapt and or that somehow the
ranch book will be Christified

440
00:24:49,530 --> 00:24:51,160
or?
Will there be a marriage?

441
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,720
And because the Orancho book
seems to say we need them, that

442
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,880
Christianity has its own
problems.

443
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,160
But you know, that's, that's the
breonic, you know, Yeah, but

444
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,600
they do say it's sort of like
Jesus said to the Jews back in

445
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:07,760
the day.
If you don't accept this, others

446
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,040
will.
That's good. 10 tiles, you know,

447
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,000
and they'll accept it.
So it's kind of the same as the

448
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,400
Orancho book.
If the Christians kind of are so

449
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,490
stubborn because they're not
willing to look at it, then

450
00:25:19,530 --> 00:25:41,570
it'll pass on to others.
They're like brothers, you know.

451
00:25:21,090 --> 00:25:24,490
Others will discover it.
And you know this.

452
00:25:24,490 --> 00:25:27,890
So my, my sympathies are kind of
more with the secularist in a

453
00:25:27,890 --> 00:25:30,690
weird way.
Although, you know, I understand

454
00:25:30,690 --> 00:25:33,050
Christianity and I see the value
of it, and I've come to

455
00:25:33,050 --> 00:25:35,610
appreciate it more over the
years since I've been studying

456
00:25:35,610 --> 00:25:37,810
the Ranch book.
I have a greater appreciation,

457
00:25:38,970 --> 00:25:40,130
Yeah, me too, than I had
growing.

458
00:25:41,570 --> 00:25:43,410
I kind of looked at them as
brothers.

459
00:25:43,570 --> 00:25:46,130
Yeah, well, there's all
different kinds of Christians

460
00:25:46,130 --> 00:25:47,000
too.
Yeah.

461
00:25:47,120 --> 00:25:50,200
You know, they shouldn't be all
pigeonholed into one box.

462
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:52,200
True.
You know, the ones that are the

463
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,240
most ones that are the most
frustrating to me, I guess, are

464
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,000
the ones who believe in the
inerrancy of the Bible.

465
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,680
You know, that belief, which is
so hardcore and so strong among

466
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:08,440
certain Christians, it just take
turns their minds into not.

467
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,680
I mean, there's just no way you
can reckon.

468
00:26:11,120 --> 00:26:14,160
There's a lot of rigidity,
conflicting, conflicting

469
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,370
passages in the Bible.
There's nobody can resolve that

470
00:26:17,370 --> 00:26:20,050
without understanding they were
written by human beings who

471
00:26:20,050 --> 00:26:23,170
were, you know, some were maybe
God like, and a lot of them

472
00:26:23,170 --> 00:26:24,530
weren't.
You know, there's a lot of

473
00:26:24,530 --> 00:26:26,410
political agendas running
through the Bible.

474
00:26:26,490 --> 00:26:28,130
You know, from the day it's
already.

475
00:26:28,970 --> 00:26:32,290
Well, the the chapter on the Old
Testament especially.

476
00:26:32,290 --> 00:26:34,690
And the thing about the Old
Testament that people don't seem

477
00:26:34,690 --> 00:26:38,810
to grasp, is that there's two
very different guide concepts in

478
00:26:38,810 --> 00:26:42,130
play in the Old Testament.
And the Old Testament is about

479
00:26:42,130 --> 00:26:44,050
the war between these two guide
concepts.

480
00:26:44,780 --> 00:26:47,660
You know, the righteous God
psalms and some of these early,

481
00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:51,980
you know, coming from the Salem
missionaries and other sources.

482
00:26:52,580 --> 00:26:55,060
And then there's stuff that
started happening in this in

483
00:26:55,060 --> 00:27:00,220
around 600 BC, where the efforts
to sabotage Michael's, the stole

484
00:27:00,300 --> 00:27:03,500
got underway.
And they introduced all these

485
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:07,740
really dark and demonic
nationalist, cruel nationalist

486
00:27:07,740 --> 00:27:10,700
teachings, you know, began with
Deuteronomy.

487
00:27:11,580 --> 00:27:18,050
And that really poisoned the
receptivity of the, you know,

488
00:27:18,050 --> 00:27:22,730
the Hebrew Nation.
For Michael's The Stool, and

489
00:27:22,730 --> 00:27:27,050
that's totally in in conflict.
But not only the earlier

490
00:27:27,050 --> 00:27:30,210
teachings, the older teachings,
you know the best stuff in the

491
00:27:30,210 --> 00:27:33,050
Bible, the oldest stuff.
But then there were also the

492
00:27:33,050 --> 00:27:35,330
prophets.
And then you get like Isaiah and

493
00:27:35,330 --> 00:27:38,170
some of those, and then there's
wonderful, wonderful stuff

494
00:27:38,170 --> 00:27:41,230
there.
But it wasn't enough to open

495
00:27:41,230 --> 00:27:44,470
their hearts.
Was this your position then that

496
00:27:44,710 --> 00:27:48,190
you believe that since
Callagastia was aware that

497
00:27:48,190 --> 00:27:53,510
Michael was going to be, that he
tried to sabotage it by making

498
00:27:54,030 --> 00:27:58,630
by basically militarizing Jewish
theology so that it would become

499
00:27:58,630 --> 00:28:02,150
antagonistic about against every
other tribe, right.

500
00:28:02,670 --> 00:28:05,430
And so that was a way of poison
Pilling, in a way.

501
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,920
Yeah.
So that when Michael, that's one

502
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,320
of the things he did, he did
some other things too, but that

503
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:18,440
was a big one, was poisoning the
scriptures of the Hebrew nation.

504
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,280
And to to where they were.
They were so enamored with this,

505
00:28:23,360 --> 00:28:28,840
these new promises of worldly
power and dominion is the

506
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,040
leadership that the idea of
becoming spiritual teachers,

507
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,960
bringing God to the other
nations, it says, oh, that's

508
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,120
boring, you don't want to do
that.

509
00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:40,360
We want to take over the world
and have power and glory.

510
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,000
So there was a Switcher in there
that happened, you know?

511
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,440
And I also see a little bit of,
you know, starting around 600 BC

512
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,970
and earlier, but that was the,
yeah, definitely a poison pill.

513
00:28:56,170 --> 00:28:59,050
So you, you see the
intransigence of the Jewish

514
00:28:59,050 --> 00:29:00,730
leaders during the time of
Jesus.

515
00:29:01,450 --> 00:29:04,370
I mean individuals were very
willing, some at least were very

516
00:29:04,370 --> 00:29:05,650
willing to hear what he had to
say.

517
00:29:06,370 --> 00:29:08,410
But the, the leaders were
intransigent.

518
00:29:09,650 --> 00:29:12,930
And the goal, you know, was
Malkizadak 2000 years earlier,

519
00:29:13,210 --> 00:29:17,490
was to have the Hebrew nation
welcome Jesus and then carry his

520
00:29:17,490 --> 00:29:19,650
message to the world.
That was the plan.

521
00:29:19,650 --> 00:29:26,070
That was Nakabena's plan.
And the the first thing that

522
00:29:26,070 --> 00:29:28,950
happened to Derail that was the
dispersion of the northern

523
00:29:28,950 --> 00:29:33,030
Kingdom, because those were the
Israelites, the Israelites were

524
00:29:33,030 --> 00:29:35,710
the northern Kingdom.
And you know the story about

525
00:29:35,710 --> 00:29:39,590
Nathaniel, You know Jesus met
Nathaniel, you remember what he

526
00:29:39,590 --> 00:29:43,510
said, Behold the genuine
Israelite in whom there is no

527
00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:48,910
deceit.
And that's and that's how Jesus

528
00:29:48,910 --> 00:29:52,430
would have been received by the
Northern.

529
00:29:52,430 --> 00:29:56,240
Kingdom, but it was wiped out.
It was just first, you know, the

530
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:59,920
people were scattered, so all
was left was the Judites in the

531
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:03,160
South, which were taken over by
the priesthood.

532
00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:06,440
And that's when they started
introducing this nationalistic

533
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:10,640
teachings that took the place of
the original covenant.

534
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:16,720
With this new covenant that you
know, if you massacre all the

535
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,610
surrounding tribes, you'll win,
right?

536
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:23,810
Or something like that.
So instead of taking God to the

537
00:30:23,850 --> 00:30:27,610
rest, to the other nations, they
were taking fear and destruction

538
00:30:27,610 --> 00:30:30,850
to the other nations, which is a
complete inversion of the

539
00:30:30,850 --> 00:30:34,250
original covenant, you know,
with Makaventa and Abraham.

540
00:30:35,410 --> 00:30:38,650
So to me that seems like a very
deliberate move on Callagasta's

541
00:30:38,650 --> 00:30:41,330
part.
And it had very telling effect,

542
00:30:41,330 --> 00:30:46,830
as we can see, because Makavena
was never able to bring the

543
00:30:46,830 --> 00:30:49,430
Hebrew nation around to the
point that they would welcome

544
00:30:49,430 --> 00:30:51,830
and recognize Jesus.
Because they were looking even

545
00:30:51,830 --> 00:30:55,390
political deliverer, right.
Well, right.

546
00:30:55,390 --> 00:30:57,030
Yeah, right.
And that was done.

547
00:30:57,030 --> 00:30:58,110
I mean that was a deliberate
thing.

548
00:30:58,110 --> 00:31:03,030
It was done starting around 600
BC with the introduction

549
00:31:03,190 --> 00:31:08,870
Deuteronomy.
So that's a, you know, and they

550
00:31:08,870 --> 00:31:11,790
tell the story.
Well, Jesus mentioned, you know,

551
00:31:11,790 --> 00:31:15,430
the the Witch of Endor.
Remember that where, you know,

552
00:31:15,430 --> 00:31:16,990
they're just going along with
the apostles.

553
00:31:16,990 --> 00:31:18,550
I guess they were an indoor or
something.

554
00:31:18,550 --> 00:31:21,790
So you recounted a little bit
about that story and you can

555
00:31:21,790 --> 00:31:25,470
find it in the Old Testament.
It's very clearly told about the

556
00:31:25,470 --> 00:31:31,310
wish and indoor, you know, about
how the advice was given.

557
00:31:31,350 --> 00:31:35,190
You know, you know there's this
woman with this familiar spirit

558
00:31:35,190 --> 00:31:39,230
and called up apparently a
secondary midwear pretending to

559
00:31:39,230 --> 00:31:41,350
be Samuel or something like
that.

560
00:31:43,260 --> 00:31:46,100
Yeah.
And that you know caused and who

561
00:31:46,100 --> 00:31:50,020
was it?
Not Cyrus, but The Who was it

562
00:31:50,020 --> 00:31:52,140
that was the leader at that
point.

563
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:55,380
Jeez, wait a minute.
I'm thinking of his name.

564
00:31:55,780 --> 00:31:59,380
But anyway, so then he lost that
battle and a lot of that him

565
00:31:59,380 --> 00:32:02,100
losing that battle the ranch
book describes as tragic.

566
00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:05,420
And that was set up by this
meeting where he had gone to try

567
00:32:05,420 --> 00:32:09,580
to get advice from the switch
and then and A and a secondary

568
00:32:09,580 --> 00:32:14,760
midwear posing and Samuel race
from the dead misled him so.

569
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,960
Now, was that an evil fallen
midwear that had done this?

570
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:20,880
Yeah, that's right.
Yeah, that's what That's what

571
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,680
Jesus was saying to his bosses
when they were in Oh.

572
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,640
That's that's right, yeah.
He's referencing that this is

573
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,560
going to stop these, these rebel
midwear is going to be rounded

574
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:30,760
up after I'm gone.
So this is not going to

575
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:32,360
continue.
But you should understand that

576
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:36,160
this is exactly is actually what
happened during that time.

577
00:32:36,910 --> 00:32:40,390
So it's not hard to imagine
around 600 BC the same thing,

578
00:32:40,390 --> 00:32:43,150
you know rebel midware
Calagassia, you know rebel

579
00:32:43,150 --> 00:32:47,790
midware poses the Lord thy God
something like that and present

580
00:32:47,790 --> 00:32:50,710
all these teachings just overall
the tribal elders thinking

581
00:32:50,710 --> 00:32:52,470
they're talking to God when
they're asking talking to

582
00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:57,110
Calagassia and the teachers got
into the got into those

583
00:32:57,110 --> 00:32:59,830
scriptures that way probably.
Please ask my.

584
00:33:00,070 --> 00:33:02,910
Well, that's then that raises
another question.

585
00:33:02,910 --> 00:33:05,870
I'll ask then, then the What do
you think, if anything?

586
00:33:06,430 --> 00:33:08,910
Callagastia might be doing to
inhibit the growth of the

587
00:33:08,910 --> 00:33:11,150
Urancho book.
Or do you think?

588
00:33:11,350 --> 00:33:14,590
That the Urancho book is on the
right course for right now.

589
00:33:14,750 --> 00:33:15,790
Yeah.
What do you think?

590
00:33:15,790 --> 00:33:17,750
Yeah, No, that's a that's a good
question.

591
00:33:19,390 --> 00:33:21,030
Well, I.
Don't know.

592
00:33:21,030 --> 00:33:24,630
Any thoughts.
Some people say it's not growing

593
00:33:24,630 --> 00:33:27,190
fast enough, not from what I can
see.

594
00:33:27,190 --> 00:33:30,950
I mean, I get the reports like a
lot of people, you know, the

595
00:33:30,950 --> 00:33:32,950
reports are looking pretty good,
I mean.

596
00:33:33,570 --> 00:33:35,330
You know, for a book that
doesn't get any kind of

597
00:33:35,330 --> 00:33:39,570
marketing or advertising, you
know, yeah, it's growing

598
00:33:39,570 --> 00:33:42,810
phenomenally in, in places in
Africa and places I would never

599
00:33:42,810 --> 00:33:46,490
would of South America.
Yeah, South America, but then

600
00:33:46,490 --> 00:33:48,250
they got that Europe.
Thing going on is it?

601
00:33:48,290 --> 00:33:49,650
Does it going on anything in
Europe?

602
00:33:49,690 --> 00:33:50,690
Yeah, Europe.
See that.

603
00:33:50,690 --> 00:33:52,130
That was the result of World War
II.

604
00:33:52,410 --> 00:33:55,410
Europe was secularized and
religion was discredited.

605
00:33:55,410 --> 00:33:58,890
And that was one of the purposes
of World War II was to destroy

606
00:33:58,890 --> 00:34:01,090
Christianity, the nation and all
that stuff.

607
00:34:01,730 --> 00:34:05,030
So that was pretty that effort
on Callagassee's part was pretty

608
00:34:05,030 --> 00:34:07,510
successful in Europe and we see
the consequences of it,

609
00:34:07,510 --> 00:34:10,630
especially in the Scandinavian
countries.

610
00:34:10,630 --> 00:34:12,389
You know, they've gone very
atheistic.

611
00:34:12,710 --> 00:34:16,909
On the other hand, countries
like Hungary seem to be, yeah,

612
00:34:17,030 --> 00:34:19,389
totally Christianity.
Even in Russia, states in the

613
00:34:19,469 --> 00:34:24,429
Eastern Europe, they've held on
more successfully, I think to

614
00:34:24,429 --> 00:34:26,400
their Christian faith.
Yeah.

615
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,719
And other countries too.
I mean, you go to I was in Italy

616
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,679
some years ago and it's still
all turn out, you know, and they

617
00:34:31,679 --> 00:34:33,480
have cathedrals everywhere.
Sure.

618
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,719
You know, So there's there's
stuff going on that's still

619
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:41,840
alive in people's heart.
But you think the Midwayrs are

620
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,880
focus.
What do you think their concerns

621
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:48,040
are right now?
You talk to anybody about that,

622
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:51,120
like amongst fellow Uranchins,
because we know that.

623
00:34:51,580 --> 00:34:55,060
From the Apocrypha, some of the
writings were that the midwares

624
00:34:55,060 --> 00:34:58,820
are very concerned about
communism during and it delayed

625
00:34:58,820 --> 00:35:02,180
the publishing of the the book.
Yeah, that's one of those

626
00:35:02,180 --> 00:35:05,380
apocryphal stories that I have
questions about actually,

627
00:35:05,380 --> 00:35:08,420
because it wasn't communism
popped up out of nowhere in

628
00:35:08,540 --> 00:35:11,700
1950.
I mean it was got started way

629
00:35:11,700 --> 00:35:13,420
earlier.
That's what World War Two was

630
00:35:13,420 --> 00:35:16,260
about.
Yeah, you know, it was about

631
00:35:16,860 --> 00:35:20,950
communism and the end even much
earlier than that, so it

632
00:35:21,390 --> 00:35:25,750
probably didn't just start.
Well, that's true, the danger of

633
00:35:25,790 --> 00:35:27,910
communism.
So I wonder about some of those

634
00:35:28,390 --> 00:35:30,830
stories you know?
Tell me a little bit.

635
00:35:30,830 --> 00:35:33,710
I want to, I want to get to some
of the more exciting things that

636
00:35:33,710 --> 00:35:37,030
are you and Derek are doing.
Tell us a little bit about.

637
00:35:37,030 --> 00:35:39,630
I know, you also should get good
credit.

638
00:35:39,630 --> 00:35:43,670
You and Christy Larson, part of
the Cosmic Blog talk radio thing

639
00:35:43,670 --> 00:35:45,630
that's been around for like a
decade now, right?

640
00:35:46,190 --> 00:35:50,030
Wait, you mean Cosmic Citizen?
Is it a cosmic citizen I'm

641
00:35:50,030 --> 00:35:51,870
talking about?
Yeah, that's Paula.

642
00:35:52,030 --> 00:35:54,950
Paula Yeah.
So tell me about some of your

643
00:35:54,990 --> 00:36:01,030
other, your other endeavors,
specifically with the UB films

644
00:36:01,030 --> 00:36:02,270
and what you're doing with
Derek.

645
00:36:02,750 --> 00:36:04,590
You guys have been also involved
with that.

646
00:36:04,590 --> 00:36:07,590
So how is that coming along?
Are you finding more and more

647
00:36:07,590 --> 00:36:10,110
new readers?
Are you finding you're making an

648
00:36:10,110 --> 00:36:12,030
impact?
What is Tell us?

649
00:36:12,070 --> 00:36:15,710
Yeah, no, our, our subscribers
grown a lot.

650
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,800
You know, since we've started.
You know, we have well and well

651
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,320
over 1000 subscribers now.
I mean, I don't know what the

652
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:27,320
current number is, but I I feel
like we're, you know, achieving

653
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:28,960
as much success as we can hope
for.

654
00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:34,040
It takes time for these things
to take hold, but we get a lot

655
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:36,760
of interesting comments and
people are finding the podcasts

656
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,240
that aren't necessarily your
answer book readers and

657
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:40,880
commenting positively about
them.

658
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,000
So I take that as a hopeful
sign.

659
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,520
I mean some of the topics, you
know, there's understanding

660
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,560
about a lot of these things.
It's not very as you know out

661
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,760
there in the culture there's a
lot of confusion about a lot of

662
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,960
things and you know we run run
up against that.

663
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:02,120
But people are pat are glad to
hear what we're talking about

664
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,920
generally.
I mean, for the first, I don't

665
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:07,120
know, a couple years, we're
doing mostly like spiritual

666
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:13,390
topics, like stuff about Jesus
and other things related to mind

667
00:37:13,390 --> 00:37:15,830
and spirit and things, you know,
Marantz and stuff like that.

668
00:37:15,830 --> 00:37:19,310
And then lately we've been doing
more historical topics, and

669
00:37:19,310 --> 00:37:21,430
those are also being very well
received.

670
00:37:22,190 --> 00:37:24,990
You know, like we did a show
about Noah, for example.

671
00:37:24,990 --> 00:37:27,190
Like, we're taking a look at
here's what it says in the

672
00:37:27,190 --> 00:37:29,670
Bible, here's what it says in
the ranch book, you know, and

673
00:37:29,670 --> 00:37:35,830
comparing them and developing a
understanding that sort of tries

674
00:37:35,830 --> 00:37:39,670
to incorporate both perspectives
when people get an better idea

675
00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:42,470
of where the stuff in the Bible
came from.

676
00:37:43,380 --> 00:37:46,460
Yeah.
And then who uplifting that with

677
00:37:46,460 --> 00:37:48,460
what we learned from the ranch
book, You know, so there's like

678
00:37:48,460 --> 00:37:52,140
several Noahs, for example.
And, you know, how does that all

679
00:37:52,140 --> 00:37:54,540
sort out?
And same thing with the book

680
00:37:54,660 --> 00:37:57,300
with Enoch, the book of Enoch.
That was a really interesting

681
00:37:57,300 --> 00:38:00,300
one to research and prepare
because there's several Enochs

682
00:38:00,300 --> 00:38:03,420
as well.
You mean in the Biblical

683
00:38:03,420 --> 00:38:04,740
history?
What do you mean there's several

684
00:38:04,740 --> 00:38:09,220
Enochs?
Well, there's the Enoch that was

685
00:38:09,220 --> 00:38:14,730
just not obtained over in in the
land of not who became a, you

686
00:38:14,730 --> 00:38:17,770
know, a spiritual teacher.
But then there's the biblical

687
00:38:17,770 --> 00:38:22,330
idea that Enoch was the son of
was still part of the Pedamic.

688
00:38:22,850 --> 00:38:27,450
Machine and they But the Bible
she doesn't understand about the

689
00:38:27,450 --> 00:38:29,210
second garden versus the first
garden.

690
00:38:29,810 --> 00:38:33,010
So everything in the Bible
that's referenced as the Garden

691
00:38:33,010 --> 00:38:36,610
of Eden or Adam and Eve is all
really the second Garden.

692
00:38:37,690 --> 00:38:40,130
There's no awareness
understanding of the first

693
00:38:40,130 --> 00:38:42,650
garden.
That's interesting.

694
00:38:42,650 --> 00:38:44,010
I never really thought about
that.

695
00:38:44,890 --> 00:38:49,170
You're right, although there are
references made in the Genesis

696
00:38:49,170 --> 00:38:53,050
about the Three Rivers and I, I
would think that had more to do

697
00:38:53,050 --> 00:38:56,970
with the first garden before it
fell.

698
00:38:57,050 --> 00:39:00,170
Yeah, there might be some.
There might be some hints, but

699
00:39:00,170 --> 00:39:01,930
in terms.
Of the and the mist would come

700
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:05,010
up, you know and all that.
Yeah, yeah, right.

701
00:39:05,670 --> 00:39:08,790
So the, the, but then there's
the Book of Enoch.

702
00:39:08,910 --> 00:39:10,230
You know who wrote the Book of
Enoch?

703
00:39:10,310 --> 00:39:12,550
That's.
Not the same as Yeah, so clarify

704
00:39:12,550 --> 00:39:14,910
that for me.
Is the book of Enoch written

705
00:39:15,070 --> 00:39:16,390
now?
Is that the Enoch that

706
00:39:17,150 --> 00:39:18,990
translated with his thought of
gesture?

707
00:39:19,690 --> 00:39:21,450
And actually, well, that's one
of the questions.

708
00:39:21,450 --> 00:39:23,890
So we know that Enoch fused.
Right.

709
00:39:24,250 --> 00:39:26,290
Yeah.
So that's his distinction was

710
00:39:26,330 --> 00:39:28,290
was.
Yeah, right, right.

711
00:39:28,450 --> 00:39:30,050
That was he the author of the
Book of Enoch.

712
00:39:30,250 --> 00:39:32,930
I mean, these are questions that
are hard to really fully answer.

713
00:39:33,450 --> 00:39:36,570
But one of the things that I've
noticed is that preparing some

714
00:39:36,570 --> 00:39:40,010
of these shows is that there's
this huge body of apocrypha out

715
00:39:40,010 --> 00:39:41,850
there.
You know in the Book of Enoch is

716
00:39:41,850 --> 00:39:44,250
one of them.
It almost made it into the

717
00:39:44,250 --> 00:39:48,170
Bible.
But but there are many others

718
00:39:48,170 --> 00:39:51,130
like the Book of cash or for
example, and I don't know, if

719
00:39:51,130 --> 00:39:54,370
you go to the website to track
this up, there's literally, I

720
00:39:54,370 --> 00:39:58,770
don't know, maybe, I don't know,
hundreds, but close to that of

721
00:39:58,970 --> 00:39:45,850
other books that are.
That didn't right?

722
00:40:00,970 --> 00:40:03,770
When you begin to look into this
stuff, you realize that the

723
00:40:03,770 --> 00:40:06,690
books that are in the Bible,
they're also apocrisy.

724
00:40:07,410 --> 00:40:08,730
It's just the ones that they
happen to.

725
00:40:08,730 --> 00:40:10,730
Select the ones that like
there's.

726
00:40:10,730 --> 00:40:14,230
All these other books.
Maybe have equals standing in

727
00:40:14,230 --> 00:40:18,270
some sense or have certainly
have worthwhile material in them

728
00:40:18,350 --> 00:40:21,470
that maybe could be also taken
seriously.

729
00:40:22,150 --> 00:40:24,950
So that's that's a big puzzle.
You know what to do with all the

730
00:40:24,950 --> 00:40:27,510
apocrypha like in the Which one
is it?

731
00:40:27,510 --> 00:40:30,470
I think it's in the the second
book of Enoch.

732
00:40:30,470 --> 00:40:33,990
I'm not sure there's a whole
section that describes the the

733
00:40:33,990 --> 00:40:36,630
rebellion in Dalmatia.
I'd like to read that.

734
00:40:36,910 --> 00:40:38,590
How can I but?
With different name but with

735
00:40:38,590 --> 00:40:39,990
different names.
Oh, I see.

736
00:40:40,470 --> 00:40:44,010
The names are different.
But if you follow the story, it

737
00:40:44,010 --> 00:40:46,730
sounds exactly what what
happened to Dalmatia, you know,

738
00:40:46,770 --> 00:40:49,090
interesting.
Yeah.

739
00:40:49,170 --> 00:40:53,290
So there's these echoes reaching
way back into the past and some

740
00:40:53,290 --> 00:40:57,330
of these writings can you just
sort of your jaw drops.

741
00:40:57,330 --> 00:41:03,450
I mean the power of of oral
tradition to carry forward some

742
00:41:03,450 --> 00:41:07,530
of these stories over just
incredible stretches of time is

743
00:41:07,570 --> 00:41:10,810
just like, you know, it's
awesome.

744
00:41:10,850 --> 00:41:12,680
I mean it's.
Hard to believe, but there it

745
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:18,040
is, you know, so you can find
these things A couple of minutes

746
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,440
left.
I want to talk quickly.

747
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:23,480
Are you surprised?
I noticed AI has a real good

748
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,120
grasp, or at least it seems to
me.

749
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,400
Somebody sent me something the
other day where they asked

750
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:32,480
ChatGPT to create a website that
has all the other your answer

751
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,680
related websites and it
assembled a collection of all

752
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,270
these websites that are out
there that are it's beautiful.

753
00:41:40,270 --> 00:41:44,270
I'm I don't even anyway her
website or the person who wrote

754
00:41:44,270 --> 00:41:48,750
it, your answer resources.com
that's actually created by a I

755
00:41:48,790 --> 00:41:50,750
and I did a couple of
experiments.

756
00:41:50,750 --> 00:41:54,630
When A I I'm not a big fan of a
I, I'm kind of hands off on this

757
00:41:54,630 --> 00:42:01,310
one, but I'm I'm amazed at how
much it it is able to pull a

758
00:42:01,350 --> 00:42:06,400
fairly cohesive, somewhat
accurate representation of the

759
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:07,880
arrangements.
You gotta watch it though,

760
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:12,560
because it'll be there'll be
really some very the road isn't

761
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,320
that to.
Embedded in, yeah.

762
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:16,080
With the equals, Yeah, so you
have to.

763
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,640
You have to.
It wouldn't be a good resource

764
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,080
to find out.
Discretion.

765
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,160
Yeah, but.
But some of the stuff it comes

766
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,720
up with, it's pretty remarkable,
you know, if I'm not using

767
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,360
concerning.
To create imagery for our

768
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:29,360
podcast.
Oh yeah.

769
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,320
Oh, yeah, right, That's.
That's that's been hugely

770
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,090
helpful.
I mean, I mean it takes some

771
00:42:35,330 --> 00:42:39,290
trial and error sometimes to get
something useful, but you know

772
00:42:39,290 --> 00:42:42,330
like I was trying to get an
image of a of a fan door, you

773
00:42:42,330 --> 00:42:43,730
know, somebody riding on a fan
door.

774
00:42:44,610 --> 00:42:49,130
So I so I in my prompt, my
prompt that I put in, I put in

775
00:42:49,130 --> 00:42:54,010
passenger bird, right.
And then then Mid Journey came

776
00:42:54,010 --> 00:42:57,370
back with a bird sitting in an
airplane looking out the window

777
00:42:57,930 --> 00:43:00,300
literal.
Yeah.

778
00:43:00,620 --> 00:43:04,740
So it could be very literal.
You're a should mention you're

779
00:43:05,540 --> 00:43:08,660
yeah, you're a digital artist
and a photographer.

780
00:43:08,660 --> 00:43:12,620
So you enjoy putting together
works of your ranch of concerts.

781
00:43:12,980 --> 00:43:14,860
Yeah.
Where can we go and see some of

782
00:43:14,860 --> 00:43:18,420
your?
Work well, I have an Instagram

783
00:43:18,780 --> 00:43:19,700
account.
OK.

784
00:43:20,580 --> 00:43:22,900
It's Thurston dot Chuck.
All right.

785
00:43:22,900 --> 00:43:25,260
I'll, I'll follow you.
At Thurston dot Chuck.

786
00:43:25,500 --> 00:43:28,380
Yeah, and that's all.
It's just it's just photography.

787
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,280
I've.
Been doing photography for a

788
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:34,920
long time, so I try to imbue it
with a spiritual sense that it's

789
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:38,640
not specifically like you're
asking topics and things like

790
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,680
that.
I see you're trying to create

791
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,680
Marancha.
See, that's the attempt at

792
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:48,840
Marancha, right?
Yeah, I should also give credit

793
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:52,160
to Derek as well because he puts
together a really nice

794
00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:54,600
production.
I don't know who's behind it,

795
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:59,920
but I know the behind the scenes
is is crucial to anything and do

796
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:03,920
you think the there will ever do
you think pop culture will kind

797
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:05,600
of end it with this?
I want to kind of end it on a

798
00:44:05,600 --> 00:44:08,040
lighter note.
But I, I, I look at the

799
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,760
amazement of the popularity of
things like Star Wars.

800
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:14,240
Well, it used to be back when it
was a real good Star Trek some

801
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:16,040
of the stuff.
It seems like the young people

802
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,880
today are ready to start talking
about life on other planets, and

803
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,860
they're kind of assuming that
we're not alone.

804
00:44:23,020 --> 00:44:26,220
It seems like they would be ripe
for a lot of the information

805
00:44:26,220 --> 00:44:29,620
that's in the Ranch book, and we
get them very excited about the

806
00:44:29,620 --> 00:44:32,260
future.
Yeah, well, that's one of the

807
00:44:32,260 --> 00:44:34,020
reasons we're doing this
historical stuff.

808
00:44:34,060 --> 00:44:36,180
You know, it's like the ancient
aliens and all that kind of

809
00:44:36,180 --> 00:44:38,340
stuff captured people's
imagination.

810
00:44:38,340 --> 00:44:41,660
So trying to fill in some of the
real history, which is just as

811
00:44:41,660 --> 00:44:46,580
cool, if not cooler stuff they
make up, you know, along those

812
00:44:46,580 --> 00:44:48,730
lines.
I mean, not completely without

813
00:44:48,730 --> 00:44:50,250
evidence.
I mean the stuff that, you know,

814
00:44:50,250 --> 00:44:53,570
the Ancient Aliens people, they
do the best they can with the

815
00:44:53,570 --> 00:44:55,810
information they have available,
I suppose.

816
00:44:57,170 --> 00:45:00,210
But it's exciting to be able to
talk about those things in a way

817
00:45:00,210 --> 00:45:03,250
that actually ties it back to
real history, where you can find

818
00:45:03,250 --> 00:45:08,480
like real artifacts that.
So the reality of some of these

819
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:12,080
things that are described in the
ranch, both that are mistaken to

820
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,560
be, well, in a way sort of, you
know, we have been visited and

821
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,840
endowed by, Oh yeah, many times
right off.

822
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,400
Planet off planet.
Gifts of culture and race, even

823
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,840
genetics and things.
So that's real.

824
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,800
That's that's real.
It's just how you understand it

825
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,600
and how you understand the
purpose of it and what's behind

826
00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:32,800
it.
That's kind of the key.

827
00:45:33,510 --> 00:45:37,470
That's often missing that
there's a divine purpose or you

828
00:45:37,470 --> 00:45:39,790
know, that's what's always
missing to it, that that

829
00:45:39,790 --> 00:45:43,110
actually to me is the missing
element to a lot of this ancient

830
00:45:43,110 --> 00:45:44,830
alien stuff.
They they're not clear on the

831
00:45:44,830 --> 00:45:47,150
motive.
They think that these people are

832
00:45:47,150 --> 00:45:50,510
just popping up and it's like
everything else random, and they

833
00:45:50,510 --> 00:45:51,830
just showed up and they found
us.

834
00:45:51,830 --> 00:45:56,190
No, no, no, no, no, We are here.
I'll see if I can find this

835
00:45:56,190 --> 00:45:58,750
quickly if I can.
I'll be proud of myself, if not

836
00:45:59,650 --> 00:46:02,610
okay, I got inspired.
Like watching ancient Aliens.

837
00:46:02,610 --> 00:46:05,090
It's a fun thing to do.
But here's the literal flat

838
00:46:05,090 --> 00:46:07,210
fact.
If you're a drive by that,

839
00:46:07,210 --> 00:46:10,770
here's what the ranch book says.
Your ranch is a 600 and 6th

840
00:46:10,770 --> 00:46:15,050
world in the 24th system of the
70th constellation in the 84th

841
00:46:15,050 --> 00:46:17,770
universe.
Our universe capital is called

842
00:46:17,770 --> 00:46:20,890
Salvington.
It is one of 100,000 local

843
00:46:20,890 --> 00:46:25,210
universes in the in the seven
universes which comprise this

844
00:46:25,710 --> 00:46:29,910
and make up the entire 7
universes, the current, what do

845
00:46:29,910 --> 00:46:31,630
they call it?
It's the Grand Universe.

846
00:46:32,190 --> 00:46:36,790
Havana is the central universe
that encircles the the Isle of

847
00:46:36,790 --> 00:46:39,670
Paradise, the dwelling place of
the Universal Father, the

848
00:46:39,750 --> 00:46:41,870
Eternal Son, and the Infinite
Spirit.

849
00:46:41,870 --> 00:46:43,750
That's about as literal as
you're going to get.

850
00:46:44,590 --> 00:46:49,590
Yeah, and in in in in explaining
just how organized are you.

851
00:46:49,630 --> 00:46:52,710
Our universe really is.
Yeah, yeah, totally.

852
00:46:52,910 --> 00:46:55,590
Exactly.
So that means there's 600 and

853
00:46:55,870 --> 00:47:00,430
there's 13 planets that have
evolved life since our planet

854
00:47:00,430 --> 00:47:03,110
evolved life, it takes us to
619.

855
00:47:03,430 --> 00:47:06,710
So if you divide that by a
billion years, it seems like

856
00:47:06,710 --> 00:47:10,630
every million years or so, give
or take, there's a new planet

857
00:47:10,630 --> 00:47:12,790
emerging with life.
Now when you look at it from

858
00:47:12,790 --> 00:47:16,070
that perspective, it's it's very
literal, it's very physical,

859
00:47:16,190 --> 00:47:19,830
It's not very romantic, but it
it makes the point that we're in

860
00:47:19,830 --> 00:47:23,790
an organized system here, right?
This isn't random causation.

861
00:47:24,270 --> 00:47:25,990
I just thought I'd share that
with you, you know?

862
00:47:25,990 --> 00:47:26,790
So.
Yeah.

863
00:47:26,950 --> 00:47:30,070
Well, to go along with that,
this sort of fascination or

864
00:47:30,070 --> 00:47:37,910
fixation on ETS or UFOs or
extraplanetary mortal species, I

865
00:47:37,910 --> 00:47:42,830
think is driven to some extent
and maybe to a large extent by

866
00:47:42,830 --> 00:47:46,230
an intuitive desire to
understand the presence of

867
00:47:46,230 --> 00:47:50,280
celestial beings.
Because the understanding of the

868
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,240
presence of celestial beings has
been largely lost.

869
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,840
And that's what we really need
to Well, that's what we really

870
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,880
need to know about.
And that's what the eraser both

871
00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:02,360
teaches us about.
You know, about the midwears and

872
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:05,520
the angels and all these other
beings that we can't see, but

873
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,200
they're here and they're here to
help us.

874
00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,680
So I think there's been a kind
of a transposition going on,

875
00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:16,520
maybe on an intuitive level or
something where there's urge to

876
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,480
know about celestial life has
been.

877
00:48:19,150 --> 00:48:23,830
Sort of twisted into this
fascination with ETS and UFOs.

878
00:48:23,910 --> 00:48:27,110
Oh yeah.
Which is not, as I don't think

879
00:48:27,110 --> 00:48:28,670
that has anywhere near the
significance.

880
00:48:29,550 --> 00:48:30,310
What's that one?
The.

881
00:48:30,390 --> 00:48:34,070
Celestial presence on the planet
The opening of the papers on

882
00:48:34,070 --> 00:48:37,870
this graphic planet Government
at Roll Call today.

883
00:48:38,910 --> 00:48:41,710
Yeah, right, exactly.
They have their morning meeting

884
00:48:41,710 --> 00:48:44,830
that they described who attends
and all of that.

885
00:48:46,010 --> 00:48:49,690
Yeah, I think my favorite is the
creation of the Andron over

886
00:48:49,690 --> 00:48:54,930
Nebula, where there was actually
a being who went out and filed a

887
00:48:54,930 --> 00:48:58,450
permit.
Yeah, they had to file a permit.

888
00:48:58,450 --> 00:48:59,650
They had to wait for the
paperwork.

889
00:49:02,170 --> 00:49:06,770
But it's real, you know?
It's all just fascinating mind

890
00:49:06,770 --> 00:49:08,490
blowing, really.
Really.

891
00:49:08,490 --> 00:49:11,250
If you think about that, the
whole thing is mind blowing.

892
00:49:11,250 --> 00:49:14,410
And, you know, who knows, Maybe
it didn't come in time to save

893
00:49:14,410 --> 00:49:18,030
this civilization, which I
wonder, you know, remember they

894
00:49:18,030 --> 00:49:21,750
said, boy, if Jesus had had come
just maybe a couple of decades

895
00:49:21,750 --> 00:49:24,110
earlier, would he been able to
save the Roman Empire?

896
00:49:25,510 --> 00:49:31,430
And so I think about that a lot,
you know, But he, he got, he was

897
00:49:31,550 --> 00:49:34,590
smart, he, he had the Greeks as
a Plan B.

898
00:49:35,030 --> 00:49:36,710
And it worked for him.
Yeah.

899
00:49:37,350 --> 00:49:38,350
Yeah, that was.
Smart.

900
00:49:38,390 --> 00:49:42,470
It wasn't what they intended.
But you know, there were

901
00:49:42,470 --> 00:49:45,630
workarounds, so he made the best
of the situation as he found it.

902
00:49:46,270 --> 00:49:48,630
No question about that.
You know what I found?

903
00:49:48,630 --> 00:49:52,110
All this, and Mack Avena was
right there too, you know,

904
00:49:52,590 --> 00:49:55,550
constantly, you know, this
battle of wits with Callagaski

905
00:49:55,550 --> 00:49:59,510
was going on all the way down.
That's a fascinating aspect too.

906
00:50:00,710 --> 00:50:04,190
Yeah, but it wasn't God's plan
for Jesus to be crucified.

907
00:50:05,550 --> 00:50:07,390
Then it wasn't Melchizedek's
plan either.

908
00:50:07,390 --> 00:50:10,470
And it wasn't Jesus's plan.
It was Caligaski's plan.

909
00:50:11,670 --> 00:50:13,750
Yeah.
You know there's a in reading

910
00:50:13,750 --> 00:50:16,830
the paper 19.
One reader recommended I read

911
00:50:17,830 --> 00:50:21,710
paper 119 which goes through all
the bestowal experiences of

912
00:50:21,710 --> 00:50:25,390
Michael and Oh yeah, and I just
realized after 40 years of

913
00:50:25,390 --> 00:50:29,070
studying this, you know he he
got a lot of of experience

914
00:50:29,070 --> 00:50:32,910
working with Rebellion Seared he
did.

915
00:50:33,590 --> 00:50:36,190
Yeah, he went into rebellion
situations.

916
00:50:36,870 --> 00:50:38,790
Yeah.
I wonder if he had the foresight

917
00:50:38,790 --> 00:50:42,260
to think I know where my last
bestowal is going to be, so I

918
00:50:42,260 --> 00:50:45,580
better learn as much as I can
about all of this.

919
00:50:46,660 --> 00:50:50,140
That's pretty smart.
I don't know.

920
00:50:50,740 --> 00:50:51,180
Yeah.
All right.

921
00:50:51,180 --> 00:50:56,140
Well, again, Chuck Thurston and
just follow him on Instagram and

922
