Ive always thought being down on your life never brought positive outcomes. Trying to aspire gives my mind a whole fresh well being, however the day starts or ends. Battling something is almost admittance youve accepted negativity. Peace and calm and a smile when things dont quite go as planned, and things fall into place naturally. Always with thanks Rev.Doug your thoughts, reflection and prospective.

This is the first time I've seen you Lisanya Pillay, nice to meet you. To me Jesus, The Second Coming, and Mashiach are all one. And I think the modern Jewish people already kinda run things (not to fall into conspiracies of "Jews run the world") they are not a monolithic block. Now, there are the Jewish people both Israeli and secular around the world, and this division is what I believe a modern Mashiach would unite. The political state of Israel is not representative of the Jewish people, and also the intellectual materialists sons of Rabbis like Robert Sapolsky, that promote the idea of hard determinism, also don´t represent secularism. I think this that you teach here, is the Second Coming, the moment the world as a collective understands God within, the real teachings, when the world awakens to this, thats the Second Coming. The thing about mystics, "enlightened" people, they have three choices, you can be a monk, a King or a vagabond. Thats why in medieval times in the King was made the beggar and the beggar was made King for a day. This awakening you talk about and that you live Mr. Bottorff, can unify not only the seculars and the religious, but also the unification of all spiritual practices. We, people that have encountered this truth within us, noone wants to be the role of "King", we all become either monks or vagabonds. When Satan tempted Jesus to "take power" and become King, it was the Jesus' of that time role, to say no. Jesus was King in his way, kind of a vagabond King. We can arrive at a perfect "anarchism", where each one of us is a King in authority, a vagabond in freedom and a monk in enlightenment. In that moment, that would be like heaven, we would all be The Messiah. Now, what I am thinking is that, we need a mystic King, one needs to step up! why? because our enemy is mass determinism, nihilism etc etc. (They not only attack God, they attack the very concept that our soul and free will exists in any form) I think in this modern context, Jesus might have acted in a different way. God within is the only real source of freedom, and of power, and we need an awakened King that is also a monk and vagabond. A King that is King but focuses not only on ruling, but that teaches humanity to NOT NEED a King. I think in the ideals, we dont need a King, we can all be Messiah, but... we need to get there somehow. A "false God" King, an "antichrist" is a role of a servant of God, because by being the antichrist, you in fact show by contrast, the true God Its the ultimate test for mankind, will you believe this guy is God, or will you recognize God is within you..... God by contrast.

@IndependentUnity 👌👍👍👍 I understand and of course I am referencing tropes just to illustrate what I want to say. Conspiracies are conspiracies. Maybe I should just remark that they are remarkable in all fields, be that secular academic, or political. But those figure heads are clearly not united!! The leaders of deterministic academia in many cases are the sons of religious fathers. And I mean to say that, I see this awareness of God within as a way to achieve true unity 💟 Subject aside, what do you think of AI and people thinking it will become like a false "God" artificial Messiah? Do you think such a system would be an "antichrist" figure, or "the beast"?

Great pod cast again ! Rev. Doug has answered so many of my questions it would be unfair to punish him further lol, maybe a few questions for lisanya for the future 🙂. But on a serious note when ideas come together thinking outside the box its like electric because you never know what you might uncover. 1 idea can throw you completely off balance and often for the better. It can be so addictive at times seeking to open new doors. As humans we have limited knowledge but i believe we are more than capable of understanding the complexities if shown. Look forward to more pod casts from you both, thankyou !

Times like these really do stop us in our tracks, no matter what we know or believe. Youve always gave us your positive light and energy, changing many lives for the better, including myself, you dont realise how much so. I just know your Mum can see this so clearly now and be immensely proud of you for what you have given. I thank your Mum for her positive role she played helping you and your work to shine through and the love and encouragement she will always continue to give you. ❤ My thoughts are with you all. My sincere love & condolences to you and all your loved ones, take care ! X ❤❤❤❤❤ X X X X X

Next month, October 28 I will be 86 and remember the instant when I became conscious of being, of existing. My mother told me, many years later that I was 9 months old and called her "mamma" To become conscious is like waking from a very deep sleep, the feeling of waking is almost physical I will never forget it. From conception all our body and inherited memory from our parents or if you prefer, the soul, prepares us for the world, for reality. We will grow and develop our abilities to deal with the eternal reality, like anybody that is born, be it a flower, an animal or a human. In my opinion consciousness is something to develop in order to be able to deal with the world with reality. God present in every quantic atom makes real everything living or not. Through the quantic atoms we are eternal, because death is only a transformation, while God's presence never leaves us. All religions and sacred books are attempts by human to understand the mystery of life and transcendency. Religions have tried in the past and will try in the present and in the future, with the same unclear results. Thank you for reading, Michel Di Sclafani. .

5:20 true perfection is constantly in development, the development is the perfection. Its not a contradiction that we are developing and that we at the same time are already perfect, because that development is perfection!!! ever perfecting!! ever being!! we already are it, but we will never reach its maximum also (we are already in its maximum also) !! to me this is not a contradiction, its the mechanism of perfection.

3:57 exactly!! this is how I always thought of the "second birth", bautism, is when you die and Jesus borns in you, you ARE Christ like actually literally. To me this is the problem with the catholic church, they are willing to transubstantiate the wine and the cookie, but they have a problem when transubstantiating themselves into literal Christ. They see it as blasphemy, but Jesus said it, we are his brothers, we are one with him!! We are Jesus ❤❤🩹
