[00:00] Speaker 1: (instrumental music plays) Good afternoon, good evening everybody out there in internet radio land. This is the Reverend Blake Ruby. You know, I- I've been a reverend for a few years now and I've never done anything other than have my radio show recognize me as a reverend. But my wife, the other day, for the first time, first time we did anything was to put some ashes on her forehead on, um, Ash Wednesday. She said, "Well, you're a reverend." She didn't get it done at the church, so she asked me to do it. So I- I said, "Well, okay, what am I gonna say?" And so she gave me a little bit of an idea and I said, "Well, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, I now..." Um, hold on, here comes the dog. There, he's going inside. Okay, he goes outside. I was telling Thomas the dog was outside and he went inside, and I closed the door behind him so now I'm not distracted by his barking out here. So, um, anyway, I've never done a wedding or a funeral.

[01:48] Speaker 1: I'm a reverend with the Universal Life Church, which is, well I didn't have to get a theology degree, you know. I kind of paid for it, but in my opinion, I don't mind if other people have degree... I mean, if say they're a reverend without a degree, you know, it's all personal I think. But if you want to be official like the military, I was told that they wouldn't ask me to give a sermon at church because I go to the chapel on Lockean Air Force Base and they said, "No, we don't recognize Universal Life Church." Okay, be that way. I don't care. I've got my radio show and that's- that's good enough for me. I talk about spirituality anyway, and I'm not a religious person per se, because religion, if you examine it logically, is a money making business. So just how concerned are they in telling you the truth? I'm a truth seeker, you know. I'm getting old and- and I- I want more details about things.

[02:56] Speaker 1: And all these different religions in the world, you know, uh, w- whether you're Christian or a Muslim or Christian or a Buddhist, how are you gonna tell that person, the other person who's- who's from a different religion that you're the one that's got the right religion, and you know the truth and they don't? That's why people have gone to war, you know. Other human beings are just as tough, certain strong and stubborn and can get just as angry as you can, okay? So, it's better to follow the path of spirituality, 'cause your spirit in the material world... I wanted to say something, changing the subject. Over in the distance, the sun is setting, or it looks like that, you know. Actually, the world's rotating on its axis, right? But am I the only one that is noticing that the sun is setting later now?

[03:49] Speaker 1: It's an amazing thing, 'cause last Saturday and the Saturday before that, at this time, the sun was almost gone but now it's like just a few inches if you take your hand, put it up there and measure it. And I think here in Southwest Texas, that we probably seen the most of the cold weather for this year, gone. Do you know what I mean? I mean, I believe that there will be not... I don't know for sure. I think it's gonna get cold on Monday but after that, we'll be kind of going downhill so to speak on the way to the warmer weather. And I thought I saw some green on some of the brown trees out here, so I haven't gone closely examined some of the branches to see if they're budding, but anyway, it's coming. I know in some parts of the world, around about this time, mostly in March, they have the cherry blossoms. You know, they start to sprout. I know in Alexandria, Virginia where I came from before I moved here, there and, uh, in Japan. We're going to Japan in April.

[05:07] Speaker 1: I've already got our tickets and we're gonna visit my wife's other daughter there and grandson, our grandson, Jacob, daughter Kathy. Anyway, we were there in August and we were there for a couple of weeks, going through two weeks this time, and it's pretty interesting over there. It's a different culture for sure. They drive on the other side of the road and it's quiet. Don't hear hardly any dogs barking anywhere. And people stay to themselves, you know. They- they don't... They're not like Americans. They, um, they're very respectful, you know. They respect their elders, but they don't... They're not the gossipy kind. Uh, it's hard to describe but they- they're very... I mean, they're friendly and if they're in groups, they'll be joking around and laughing but-They don't have... I guess, maybe they're not mean in some ways like some people can be here in the United States, which I like.

[06:16] Speaker 1: I mean, that diversity, you know, I appreciate that, not everyone being the same, you know, like a clone. But there in Japan, they, they have very few active shooters, right? It's rare that they do because there's very little crime because the police are very respected there. There are no nonsense, you know. You don't want to fool around with the police in Japan. They'll jack you up in a heartbeat. You know what I'm saying? Anyway, changing the subject again, I was talking with Thomas at the beginning. I was saying that I'm a, an accomplished singer. I practice all the time out here in my man cave, my back patio. I mean, I learned, uh, you might have heard me say this before. When I joined the army in 1982... I'm gonna take a drink. At basic training and AIT, advanced individual training, I was always very good with cadence, whether marching or sing- or running cadence. And I sounded good, you know.

[07:30] Speaker 1: And sometimes, they put me out there next to the formation, so I could call cadence to the... Later on, after basic and AIT, when I went to my unit, you know, I used to lead the company in PT. Now, that's quite an experience. You know, you get like maybe 80 to 100 men running down the road, and they say, "Come on out here, Sergeant Wilby. Sing some cadence." And, y- you know, it's like, "Here we go, all the way. Going to make it. Going to take it. Easy run to the sun. We're having fun. Up a hill, down a hill, through a hill. Hey, you, can you be like me? Infantry. Airborne. Ranger. Ho! One, two, three, four. Left, right, left." You know, and I, you just... I got really good at it so that, you know, you can just keep going and just changing it. Um, if you ever lose your track of thought, then you could go back to the basics, which is, "One, two, three, four." Or you could start singing a little song. "One, two, three, four. Run, run, run some more. Right or left, right or left.

[08:42] Speaker 1: It won't be long till I get back home. I used to drive a Chevrolet. Now, I'm marching every day." Anyway, so that's where I learned to sing, and then, um, in 1994, I did karaoke for the first time. And I sang, just looking at the monitor, you know, "It's easy, easy peasy, lemon squeezy." "Hotel California," "Song Song Blue," and other songs, and then went back, and I kept on doing it. And when I moved here to San Antonio... So, like, throughout the years afterwards, I would do it sporadically, you know, on cruise ships. And then when I moved to San Antonio in 2010, I started getting serious with singing, and in 2013, I'd started doing karaoke again and learning songs. But when I started doing... singing for the Wounded Warriors, uh, Fort Sam Houston in 2013, I used to go once a month around lunchtime for an hour and a half and sing. And I, I learned all these songs to sing for them about God, nature, love, issues that they might have been going through.

[10:06] Speaker 1: And so I built up my repertoire, and I learned well over 100 songs, memorized, you know, without looking at any monitor. You know, I would set up my equipment. At first, I got just a regular karaoke machine, and I replaced that with a couple of Fender speakers, a mixer, amplifier, wireless microphone. And for six years, I sang for the Wounded Warriors, and I built up that repertoire of songs. And now, including the songs I've learned at church, I must know maybe some... It might take me a while to get my memory back on all of the lyrics, you know, but I, I know hundreds of songs, and I've performed on a cruise ship, on talent shows. I, um... In front of, you know, a few hundred people. One time I did Frank Sinatra's My Way on a cruise ship, the Magic, Carnival Magic, in 2012. So that was in, before the Wounded Warriors. I just realized that.

[11:18] Speaker 1: And, uh, they used to have something called the Carnival Legends, and you would audition, like, midweek, and then if they picked you, then you would go up on the stage last night and sing your song. You know, they had different artists to choose from, like, uh, Aretha Franklin, Respect, and Ricky Martin, La Vida Loca, James Brown, I Feel Good, Garth Brooks, Friends in Both Places, and some of the other ones. Anyway, and then Frank Sinatra, My Way. So I auditioned for Frank Sinatra's My Way tune that turned out well, What Love Got to Do With It. Um, Shania Twain, um, I Feel Like a Woman. Anyway, so I did that. I was the last one on the stage in front of, like, hundreds of people, and I sang My Way with an orchestra, the spotlight shining down on me, sitting on a little stool in the middle of the stage.... and I was terrified. But I did okay, I didn't lose track, my mind didn't go blank, but, uh, I was maybe a little bit nervous and it showed in my voice.

[12:26] Speaker 1: You know, my voice was a little bit, a little shaky. But that was right at the beginning when I first started out. And then in 2014, I sang the national anthem at the AT&T Center in San Antonio with a woman in, um, what they called the, the women's WNBA game, the Silver Stars, who later on went to Las Vegas and became the Aces. So there was about 6,000 people there and, uh, that was pretty terrifying because you, um, they allowed us to, um, to sing the national anthem. Now you almost have to pay to, to be able to do that. But back then they, um, and there's... Now they also want you to sell tickets, you know, at least 100 tickets before they allow you to do the national anthem. And so my friend, uh, Robin, we were called Sir Blake and Lady Robin. We, um, we had some practice.

[13:26] Speaker 1: They, they said, "Okay, here's a microphone, and now just sing here, um, without the microphones on but use it, you know, hold it in your hand so you can get used to it." So we practiced it and that was good we did because then we went out onto the court, right in the middle, and there was television, there were television cameras all around facing us, looking at us and they put out an American flag right in mid-court, you know, center court, and then they said, um, gave us the cue and we started singing it and and . It's on YouTube, there's a YouTube video. I've got about 329 views I think the last time I checked. But that was another step in my singing career. I'm going to take a drink. (swallowing sound) And, um, on cruise ships afterwards I would always... We got a cruise coming up next month in... March the 21st, and God willing, you know, um, we get there and I'll always go and there. And there's a lot of interest in karaoke, more than there used to be.

[14:50] Speaker 1: Now you put a song in, unless you're right at the very beginning, you know, you get in line, it can take even an hour if you're, if- if you're at the end of the line, or if you want to sing a second song and it could take like at least an hour. There's so much interest. Even little children, you know, go up there and they, they want to sing their songs and they all look at the monitors, you know, the words. I've, I've memorized the lyrics and I, and I've also become a soloist at church so I've sang many, many solos at church.

[15:28] Speaker 1: I do like karaoke at the, um, on the cruise ships though.And the reason for that is because it requires

[18:28] Speaker 1: deep diaphragm breathing. When you have your arms down by your side, you use your diaphragm and that is the proper way to sing. No matter what anyone else says, no matter what you see, no matter what anyone tells you, you have to use your diaphragm when breathing or you're gonna get, eventually, if you do a lot of it, you'll start getting lightheaded. And putting the other hand up and gesturing wildly, it- it- it won't last forever, it'll start affecting one's health. That's what I've learned. Take it or leave it. Believe it or not. So now, you know, I've got my songs that I know, over a- over a hundred mostly rock and roll songs, you know. Uh, let me just read some off to you here 'cause I've written them down.

For I can't help falling in love That's it, I Can't Help Falling in Love with You. So that's just some of them. I know a l- a few more, but I've got them written down here on the board so all I gotta do is glance and... And I practice them over and over again.

[25:28] Speaker 1: And I know all, all the words. I mean, um, I might miss one or two now and then, all, with all those songs, but I practice them all the time. And then there's the songs at church that I've learned over the years, hundreds of them. And, um, and I don't know all the lyrics for those because I, um, I just don't practice them as much. I know all the Christmas carols. I practice those a lot around Christmastime. I know, of course, the national anthem, God Bless America, um, America the Beautiful. And so I'm a pretty accomplished singer, you know. And, uh, my goal is to sound like an angel, and I'm just kidding. But you've heard how well angels sing, right? Well, I guess that maybe I... Can I say that? Can anybody say that? I mean, there are some beautiful singers out there, Celine Dion, Sarah Brightman, um, many... Frank Sinatra, he sounds like an angel to me, you know. Such a great man. Some of those old crooners, you know, Dean Martin, Andy Williams, Perry Como, Sammy Davis Jr.

[26:47] Speaker 1: They were, they had some great songs back then. Anyway, the sun's gone down now. I'm going to take another drink. (swallows) And I'm always learning new songs too. And, uh, I was thinking of... There's some songs I want to learn like Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith and, um, what's that other one? Sorry Sundown by, um, The Outlaws. Purple Haze by Jimi Hendrix. I really love the rock and roll, the old rock and roll songs, you know. Um, but I've also learned some, uh, some new songs. Coldplay, I know Clocks. I know, uh, Paradise (singing) Para-para-paradise. When she was just a girl. She expected the world. But it flew away from her reach. So she ran away in her sleep. And dreamed of para-para-paradise. Para-para-paradise. Para-para-paradise. Every time she closed her eyes. Oh when she was just a girl. She expected the world. But it flew away from her reach. And the bullets catching her teeth. Life goes on, it gets so heavy. The wheel breaks a butterfly. Every tear a waterfall.

[28:23] Speaker 1: In the night, the stormy night, she closed her eyes. In the night, the stormy night, away she'd fly. And dreamed of para-para-paradise. Para-para-paradise. Para-para-paradise. Every time she closed her eyes And then you've got the different parts, uh. (singing) La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la. And the (singing) oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. But the la-la-la's meant.. (singing) Well lying underneath the stormy skies. She said oh-oh-oh-oh-oh. I know the sun will set to rise. This could be para-para-paradise Another song I like to learn is, uh, Sky Full of Stars. That's beautiful, and Yellow too. With Clocks, I've known Clocks for many years. And by the way, the sun is heaven. If you're... It's a matter of intelligence, my friends, a matter of intelligence for you to understand that the sun is heaven. Not only does that light provide heat, or the, the sun provides heat and light, but also it rotates the planets around itself.

[29:51] Speaker 1: But it's the spirit world, and you have to understand, in order to understand that the sun is heaven, you have to understand that you have a spirit in your body. And that spirit is made of light energy. Everything really, if you break it down into the finest particles, we're all beings of light. Everything is made of light. Isn't that something? Even physical matter is made of light, my friend. And that world over there 93 million miles away that we can't look at sometimes because it's too bright, take it from the Reverend Blake Ruby, I tell you the truth, the absolute truth. That is where our souls and our spirits were born. Our mother and father, beautiful beings of light so bright and shiny you wouldn't..... comprehend just how bright they are because they're growing. Their light is growing and that's what we need to do. We need to grow our light too. And the creator of the universe is the one that initiated all of what we have. It's a tremendous situation we're a part of.

[30:58] Speaker 1: The creator is the greatest light of all. We have a little piece of the creator's life in our soul, light in our soul, in our, inside our souls, the light of the soul. The soul is the brain of the spirit, you know. Like we have a physical brain in our physical bodies, the soul is the light, is the brain of the spirit, and it has that light that shines and, and the creator has spoken from the being of the universe with the Big Bang, "Go forth and grow your light, my friends. Expand your light. Help build and grow and expand the universe by growing your own light and adding to the light of the universe." That was the creator's plan. And all of the darkness you see, I mean, it's a pretty amazing situation that we're a part of here on planet Earth that rotates on an axis to give us half a day of light and half a day of darkness. Now, what about that power, my friends? What about that plan? So that we can learn from the darkness, so we can grow our light. Does that make sense? It should.

[32:17] Speaker 1: Back to the sun, 93 million miles away. And when you pop out of your physical body as a pure spirit, and you don't have your physical senses anymore, no more eyes, ears, right, you know what you're going to see? You're going to see a tunnel. And I know there are other ways to get to heaven, even by the chariot of Archangel Gabriel or maybe a deceased relative or just an ordinary angel taking you there, but that world on fire in the distance is a very special fire. Wh- when you pop out of your body as a pure spirit, you're going to gravitate towards that world because that's where you came from before you were born, before the angel pushed you into your mother's womb, which you probably can't remember, right? Those nine months, I can't remember them either, right? And that world on fire is a beautiful, beautiful world. The spirit can live in fire, my friends, I tell you the truth. We're made of millions of electrons. You've heard the stories about hell, right?

[33:24] Speaker 1: People burning in the lava beds, the fire of the lava beds down there. Well, they're in fire and so like is it hard to understand that you could live in that fire over there in the distance? It's the same kind of fire. I mean, it's different, but it's still fire, you know. Does that make sense? Beings in hell going through hellfire, the gnashing, the wailing of teeth, the murderers, the rapists, the abusers, the non-believers, whoever, you know. Someone like Hitler, maybe, and could you ever forgive someone like Hitler? I leave judgment to the creator or the Mother and Father God. The creator has started it all by... Our Mother and Father God are co-creator Gods. They reached that level of perfection. That's what we are. We are co-creator Gods in the making, going through the process of reincarnation on our soul's journey.

[34:23] Speaker 1: We'll live another life on another planet, no doubt, unless you've reached that level of perfection where you can become a co-creator God and find a patch of infinite space to create your own worlds by utilizing the powers of the cosmos, the universe, knowing what words to speak along with your soulmate, emerging of spirits and the synchronization of thought and speaking those words, and you can put those cosmic forces into motion and create whatever you want, including spirit children. We were born as a spirit and a soul at one time. We have a mother and father, spirit parents, on that world of light over there in the distance, the matrix of our solar system, my friend. We belong in a solar system, and there are other solar systems out there next to us and they go way, way, way, way, way, way down the line to the center of the Milky Way galaxy. And that's just one galaxy, about how many? Oh, my friends, there, there's so many wonderful things going on that we know very little about.

[35:43] Speaker 1: And those other sentient beings that are out there, extraterrestrials, aliens, however you want to call them, and they've been painted in a negative way and that's rather unfortunate because they're, they're there waiting for us to make contact with them. But why aren't they doing that? Anybody want to know why? Because we're a very violent species. We even still have wars going on today. We've had lots of wars in the past. And don't you know, if they did land, it would be just like in the movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still, where a spaceship would land and right away there would be M1 tanks and Bradley Fighting Vehicles, artillery pieces and soldiers with their weapons drawn and police with their weapons drawn. And all it took, just, all it would take, just like in the movie, is an itchy trigger finger, somebody getting startled and-... they're made of flesh and blood kinda, too, you know? So why would they wanna do that?

[36:57] Speaker 1: Why would they wanna prove to us that they're real wh- when we should be able to figure it out in our minds and bridge that gap between belief and knowledge, and know that they are real and they are out there? If you can't, if we can't, logically deduce that they exist out there, then you're just not ready to understand it and you're not interested in learning more about the subject. And some people aren't, that's okay, that's where they are in their soul's evolution. But, my friends, there's a lot at stake for our souls. Because when that time comes, when, when that time comes when we do pop out of our bodies, all that learning that we have achieved, all that growth and development that we have accomplished will propel us to different levels of evolution, or better put, different levels of achievement. Did I say that word already? So, in other words, it's almost like Earth is this school and the object is to graduate with honors. Now, we don't know when the time will come.

[38:18] Speaker 1: We all have expiration dates, but we don't know what that expiration date is. It could be tomorrow, it could be 10 years from now, 20 years from now. And that is the mystery of this wonderful planet we're living on is that we were born into this world, passing through the River of Oblivion so that we would be made to forget where we came from, that we existed prior to being born. And that we had access to universal knowledge, where all we had to do was think about something and the answer would come, and any questions we had were answered right away. And also remembering that we used to live with angels everywhere, and when we return to the spirit world, you're gonna be re- remembering, there will be a remembering. And all those people that lived on Earth, just like we're living right now, people that walked on this planet, who lived their daily lives and experienced what we're experiencing now, trying to find three meals a day, and survive, and, and raise children, and work a job.

[39:38] Speaker 1: All the way back, thousands of years ago, they've been doing that in different ways, because the technology has improved. But they're, my point is, they were human, just like we are, and they walked on this Earth. And they're there, waiting, people from all cultures throughout the centuries, waiting for us there. There'll be a great reunion when we get there. There'll be deceased relatives, relatives that you know and some that you don't even know about, who existed hundreds of years way back, all the way, trace it back to the beginning. Isn't that amazing? I've traced my family tree to 1610 in the London area. But I know before that, it keeps on going. I just, that's as far back as I was able to go. And it's the same with all of us. And they're there, they're waiting, and they look just like us. Your spirit is just like the physical body, it has similar characteristics, facial, body. The properties of the spirit are a lot different than the physical body, but a spirit is very mobile.

[40:55] Speaker 1: It can move by either thinking itself to, from one location to another. It can fly above the ground, or it could walk maybe in a conventional mode to get to places. There are different options available. Of course, the spirit has eyes to see, but in a different way. Uh, it has a more encompassing vision, almost like a 360-degree grasp, if you will, at looking at things, or a way of looking at things. And the other senses are enhanced, too, smelling, hearing. That world on fire over there in the distance, 93 million miles away, as a spirit, you can live in that fire. And when you go down into that world, you'll see, like here on Earth, mountains, and valleys, and rivers, and lakes, and even oceans, and trees, the Trees of Life, fruit on the Trees of Life. All the people that lived here on Earth at one time, they're going to be there to welcome you, that know, that know you, that knew you. And there'll be fruit on the Tree of, Trees of Life.

[42:18] Speaker 1: You can drink from the, the river, any river there. There's no pollution, of course, in Heaven. There's no shadows. There are roadways paved with transparent gold. There are chariots everywhere, angels driving these chariots, which are like anti-gravity, electromagnetic propulsion vehicles. And then there's the city, you know, where the throne room of the Mother and Father God are, and there are pearly gates, and the angels that guard the pearly gates. And of course, there's precious stones in the buildings everywhere, and houses and mansions that you've heard about, that Jesus said, "I go prepare a place for you."... marble floors inlaid with roses and veins of gold and everything you like here on Earth is gonna be made for you there if you're good. You gotta be good just like Santa Claus, right? I'm, I'm being funny, but you've heard that expression before. If you haven't been good, you're not gonna get a gift. So you have to be good. By that I mean be kind, be loving.

[43:24] Speaker 1: At least, and I've heard all the rhetoric that goes on between the two political parties, and I've said this before and I'll say it again, at least recognize one good thing in your fellow human being. Don't treat them like they're your enemy. Just one good thing. And even if that one good thing is this, and only this, they are alive, my friends. And that is worthy of recognition, it's worthy of respect, it's worthy of dignity. Right? And then if you wanna add onto that, well, they've got a beautiful family and a beautiful smile, and they've done well, they've made themselves successful. They're very funny. They've got a great sense of humor. You can think of all kinds of things to say, but unfortunately, people tend to think about the negative and the bad things. And that's what's going on with politics. Mr. Trump, he's our president, you know, elected by the majority of people. So let's accept that. And also let's accept that, the fact that the man almost died.

[44:40] Speaker 1: He came o- like a couple of centimeters away from having a bullet enter his skull, you know. And I, I pray for him all the time and I hope you do too, that he doesn't get hurt anymore. You know what I'm saying? That could happen to anybody. My point is, the man is alive, we're alive. Let's recognize that and count that as a good thing. It's good to know that your fellow human being, your neighbor is alive. Enjoy the ride, my friends. We're here, it's a miracle really. This beautiful world that we're a part of, there is a power that's running everything. And it's operating, mm, like clockwork with no glitches. That power that rotates this world on its axis, that revolves it around the sun, our sun. There are no mistakes. It's perfect. Now maybe once in a while, a sun will go nova or supernova. And in the physical universe, things that are physical eventually will die out, you know, and expire, so to speak. I'm gonna take a drink.

[46:07] Speaker 1: For those that haven't heard me say this before, the creator of the universe who is a spirit, a huge, all-encompassing, configuring, shape-shifting energy field moving around the universe in all locations at the same time, kind of like the aurora borealis, but all the colors of the rainbow. An electrical being inside that energy field that can communicate to you telepathically with all these different faces, all the different beings that he/she, 'cause it's male and female, the best way I can describe him/her, created all these sentient beings that are out there by utilizing ... Well, there are four forces. Let me, let me put it this way. There are four forces that the creator used to create the physical universe upon the initiation of the Big Bang when one solar system was formed and then another and the universe began expanding one solar system at a time, one galaxy at a time. The first force was the force that created all the suns, planets, and moons.

[47:29] Speaker 1: The second force was the force that created all the plant and animal life. The third force was the force that created all the sentient beings. And I'll tell you the truth, my friends, there are a lot, a lot, thousands and thousands and thousands of different variations of human beings, different heights, different shapes, sizes. There are beings out there with different colored skin, blue, green, different eyes, all kinds of different eyes. And that's one way the creator stays in touch with us, by looking through our eyes, I believe. Like we are able to look through our mother's eyes when we were in her womb. Yes, it's true. And the creator also created the fourth force of the universe which is that infinitesimal spark of the creator's light, like I was mentioning, that lights up the soul like a lamp, like a fire in a kerosene lamp and it's, you know how you, you can turn it up and it gets brighter and more intense? That is our goal. That's our objective in this lifetime, my friends.

[48:45] Speaker 1: And that is to increase our light. By talking on my radio show, I feel like I'm increasing my light. And I hope if you're listening to me that you will increase your light. But don't forget one thing that's very important, my friends. We are all in this together. We are all souls, although I might be an older soul than you, that doesn't make me any better,Or someone else might be older than I am, that doesn't make them any better than me. We are all equal inasmuch as that we are souls and we are brothers and sisters in spirit. Life is too short to be mean or cruel or unkind to each other. Don't be unkind, please. What if someone you were unkind to died tomorrow, would you feel regret and remorse? I know you would 'cause you have a spirit in your body that cares.

[49:43] Speaker 1: At your core, you are a spirit and whether you deny it or won't accept it, in the middle of the night when you wake up when you're by yourself, your spirit's gonna speak to you and it's gonna try to guide you in the ways of righteousness. And the reason we're here to develop spiritually, we need each other. I need your help, you need my help. It's a sharing of ideas always. Don't let anybody tell you, "This is the way it is." I hope you wouldn't take that from me. We are in this together at the sharing of ideas. You have your experiences that I could learn from, you can learn from mine. I've read books, I've learned from other people, and I'm sharing that information to you. Vice versa, I've written a book called The Grey Brain, The Golden Soul. It's in the Amazon Kindle bookstore. The Grey Brain, G-R-E-Y Brain, The Golden Soul. It's there for free as an e-reader. I haven't earned a penny, so there, that should tell you something.

[50:51] Speaker 1: There's some good information, 80 pages, 30 chapters of rock solid spirituality, my friend. On a final note here, I've only got a little bit of time left, remember, I heard this from a man who had a near death experience. His car was going 100 miles an hour and it flipped end over end several times and landed on the side of the road. Yeah, that happens sometimes, you know? Come on, be real. It caught on fire, he had a gaping head wound, he was thrown from the car and he had a near death experience. He said he met God, a beautiful being of light, and that might have been the Father God, probably was. It came up to him like, um, over in the distance like a billiard ball and then a beach ball, basketball, beach ball... No, let me start again. A billiard ball beat a basketball and beach ball in size coming towards him, golden in light, a golden orb in other words.

[51:55] Speaker 1: And when it got right in front of him, it materialized into a beautiful being of light approximately two times the size of an average adult. And it says... Got it, one minute left. It said to him, "Man will prey..." Among other things, "Man will prey on man until man learns to pray from man." Do you get that? P-R-E-Y versus P-R-A-Y. Take that, that came directly from God, the Father God. And if you could embrace that, man will prey on man. In other words, if we pray, we can get out of this cycle of killing and gravitate more towards a peaceful world. My prayer is this, Creator, please bless us all and help us in any way we need it. We love you. Thank you for your love. You are awesome and great and wonderful. We praise you forever. Goodbye, everybody. Talk to you next week. Bye-bye.
