Alan Gillanders joins Dr. Doug for an unhurried conversation about the long way home to self, a shattered wedding ring, an answered prayer, and the ancient teaching of "I Am." Together they explore synchronicity, the frequency beneath all things, and what it means to remember the divine we never actually left.

7
00:00:30.230 --> 00:00:32.890
I have spent years in conversation with people who are

8
00:00:32.939 --> 00:00:37.259
successful by every measure and still quietly restless, not broken,

9
00:00:37.820 --> 00:00:42.679
not lost, just aware somewhere underneath the noise that there

10
00:00:42.740 --> 00:00:46.219
is a version of their life that feels more honest,

11
00:00:46.799 --> 00:00:51.950
more grounded, more genuinely theirs. This podcast exists for those people,

12
00:00:52.020 --> 00:00:54.289
for the ones who are done performing and ready to

13
00:00:54.329 --> 00:00:59.409
go deeper. My name is Dr. Doug. Welcome to Inspire Vision.

14
00:01:00.009 --> 00:01:03.640
I'm glad you were here. Alan, welcome to the show.

15
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:04.859
Thank you, Dr.

16
00:01:04.900 --> 00:01:05.120
Doug.

17
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:06.239
I'm happy to be here.

18
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:09.280
Hey, I'm excited to have you here. This is going

19
00:01:09.299 --> 00:01:14.109
to be fun. I love the fact that you're close

20
00:01:14.150 --> 00:01:15.890
by in Australia, so that's great.

21
00:01:17.030 --> 00:01:19.250
Yeah, we're just down there, a bit lower down the globe,

22
00:01:19.290 --> 00:01:20.510
so we're sort of parallel.

23
00:01:20.969 --> 00:01:24.060
Yeah. So, hey, I'd love for you to share with

24
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:26.640
the audience who you are, a little bit of your background.

25
00:01:27.189 --> 00:01:30.549
Okay, I was growing up in a lovely country, Victoria,

26
00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:34.920
eastern Australia, and amongst farm animals and the bush and

27
00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:37.739
no real neighbors next door. So it was a lovely environment.

28
00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:40.900
I grew up in a Christian environment and going to

29
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:44.640
church every week, Catholic school. I was quite happy with

30
00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:47.040
all that. But as I grew, I had things that

31
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.680
were just a little bit questions in my mind. And

32
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:54.000
then I went into engineering and did an apprenticeship. and

33
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:57.780
got married and had a family. And as life moved along,

34
00:01:58.099 --> 00:02:01.530
I moved out of engineering and into running businesses for

35
00:02:01.530 --> 00:02:05.329
25 years, and then eventually drifted back into engineering again.

36
00:02:05.409 --> 00:02:08.669
And that's where I am today. And my mind's been

37
00:02:08.729 --> 00:02:10.349
open to many things along the journey.

38
00:02:10.789 --> 00:02:13.500
Well, and you know, it's so interesting that we all

39
00:02:13.539 --> 00:02:16.939
have our quote professions, and yet there's a whole other

40
00:02:16.979 --> 00:02:21.139
side to that journey. And that journey is about our life.

41
00:02:21.639 --> 00:02:24.319
And I'd love for you now to kind of share

42
00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:29.500
your journey because it's amazing and you ultimately with that journey. Well,

43
00:02:29.539 --> 00:02:31.280
just share the journey. I know we're going to talk

44
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:33.479
a little bit about your book, but share the journey

45
00:02:33.939 --> 00:02:37.000
that brought you to this point about the things that

46
00:02:37.020 --> 00:02:38.199
we're going to talk about here.

47
00:02:38.699 --> 00:02:41.120
Okay, so growing up was great. I didn't have any

48
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:45.469
issues with that and believed in the church's teachings. But

49
00:02:45.750 --> 00:02:50.099
many things just questioned reality, like the Old Testament. I

50
00:02:50.120 --> 00:02:52.759
was a bit fascinated by the amazing stories and were

51
00:02:52.780 --> 00:02:56.060
they real? But when I asked the priests and the

52
00:02:56.139 --> 00:02:58.740
nuns that taught me, they said to just leave that

53
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.639
and work with the New Testament, which was fine until

54
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.289
I was in my 20s and married and raised. I

55
00:03:05.330 --> 00:03:07.870
wasn't really that happy in the marriage and the fact

56
00:03:07.930 --> 00:03:11.689
that we weren't highly compatible and things just weren't working

57
00:03:11.750 --> 00:03:13.949
out the way I wanted, that I believed the marriage

58
00:03:13.990 --> 00:03:16.789
should work out. We had kids and it just seemed

59
00:03:16.830 --> 00:03:20.090
like an existence. After years and years of thinking, I

60
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:24.120
seem to be just, well, a horrible word, but sentenced

61
00:03:24.139 --> 00:03:26.300
to prison sentence of being stuck in a marriage as

62
00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:28.780
a young guy. And it's just not going. I thought, well,

63
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:30.300
the right thing to do is to talk to her

64
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:33.780
about it. Don't get divorced. And I did that. And

65
00:03:34.139 --> 00:03:37.710
after a while, Things didn't get any better. They didn't change.

66
00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:41.949
And I started delving deep into my upbringing and philosophies

67
00:03:42.030 --> 00:03:44.340
of what is God. That's sort of starting off on

68
00:03:44.379 --> 00:03:47.919
a journey. What is God? Who is God? And how

69
00:03:47.979 --> 00:03:51.240
can God answer everyone's prayers all over the world? I thought,

70
00:03:51.259 --> 00:03:53.840
this is amazing. So God can't really be a being

71
00:03:54.280 --> 00:03:56.280
if all our prayers are being answered at once. And

72
00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:59.620
I know they do. I've seen miraculous miracles happen. on

73
00:03:59.780 --> 00:04:02.729
mainly on the television of healings or people being sick

74
00:04:03.210 --> 00:04:05.090
I thought it must be some kind of energy and

75
00:04:05.110 --> 00:04:07.590
I thought well why don't you listen to me so

76
00:04:07.629 --> 00:04:10.310
I was driving my car one day and I was

77
00:04:10.930 --> 00:04:13.550
thinking this out loud so I said out loud God

78
00:04:13.830 --> 00:04:16.810
why don't you answer my prayers and give me an

79
00:04:16.910 --> 00:04:19.310
answer why I'm stuck in this marriage now for another

80
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.220
eight years like a prison sentence and at that moment

81
00:04:22.300 --> 00:04:24.879
my ring exploded off my finger while I was driving

82
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.360
the car can you believe it fell down on the

83
00:04:29.379 --> 00:04:31.480
And I pulled the car over and picked them up.

84
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:33.819
And I sat there with the ring pieces in my

85
00:04:33.860 --> 00:04:37.279
hand thinking, something just listened to me. And it gave

86
00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:40.740
me an answer. That's impossible for a ring to explode outwards.

87
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:43.220
And I thought, now I need to go down a

88
00:04:43.259 --> 00:04:46.079
journey and find what this is all about and who

89
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.420
is God or what is God? What is the energy

90
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.860
that I just, I believe I accessed an energy. So

91
00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:56.610
that led me to Eastern philosophy and just a lot

92
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:00.209
of deep meditation and thinking. Didn't know if the answers

93
00:05:00.269 --> 00:05:02.550
are right, but you know, the journey is you don't

94
00:05:02.610 --> 00:05:06.000
really know. But then I discovered things that happened and

95
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:09.720
miracles I saw that I could not believe. And I thought, well,

96
00:05:09.740 --> 00:05:12.519
these weren't supposed to happen when Jesus was around. But

97
00:05:12.579 --> 00:05:14.959
I see them today. This was years ago now. And

98
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:18.420
I thought, I wish those miracles happened to me. And

99
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:20.680
they didn't. But I saw them and talked to other

100
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.459
people and they had miraculous miracles. And I thought, well,

101
00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:26.079
this is truly amazing. What do I need to do?

102
00:05:26.180 --> 00:05:29.939
And I started studying, reading. going into the very ancient

103
00:05:29.980 --> 00:05:37.519
philosophies of Vedas, Upanishads, the Egyptian hermetic philosophies, the Buddhists, Hinduism,

104
00:05:37.670 --> 00:05:40.790
and eventually it all come to more miracles started happening

105
00:05:40.829 --> 00:05:43.670
and I realized I was connected and I never was distant.

106
00:05:43.769 --> 00:05:46.230
I was never not connected. I just didn't know that

107
00:05:46.269 --> 00:05:49.230
I was connected. So that's been a fascinating journey.

108
00:05:49.709 --> 00:05:51.600
Well, and you know, it's interesting. I know we're going

109
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:53.519
to talk a little bit about the quantum field and

110
00:05:53.600 --> 00:05:57.139
so forth. Now, my background is a little bit different.

111
00:05:58.389 --> 00:06:01.910
but I absolutely have been raised to believe in the Father,

112
00:06:02.930 --> 00:06:06.829
who I believe is ultimately the high God. I also

113
00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:11.240
believe in the Savior, who I believe is his Son. And,

114
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:15.100
you know, as we get into, you know, the Dead

115
00:06:15.220 --> 00:06:19.560
Sea Scrolls, it is interesting, if one were to believe that,

116
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:22.449
how it talks about the fact that here is Elohim,

117
00:06:22.470 --> 00:06:28.490
the Father, assigning his Son, Yeshua, to oversee this world

118
00:06:28.870 --> 00:06:31.829
and oversee that. So anyway, that's kind of where I

119
00:06:31.870 --> 00:06:36.430
come from. But what has fascinated me is exactly what

120
00:06:36.449 --> 00:06:39.910
you're talking about. I literally went and went to a

121
00:06:39.949 --> 00:06:44.939
full week with Joe Dispenza with meditation. And I saw

122
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:48.360
and heard about the healings and the quantum field and

123
00:06:48.379 --> 00:06:51.660
the energy and all of that. And So similar to

124
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:56.279
what your thought process was, I started thinking, okay, how

125
00:06:56.319 --> 00:07:00.459
does that all work? How can people tap into that

126
00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:06.579
and experience that healing when, as you say, Christ isn't

127
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:13.550
around necessarily anymore, physically, physically, okay? Now, my thought about

128
00:07:13.610 --> 00:07:16.850
that is a little bit different than yours, because as

129
00:07:16.949 --> 00:07:21.279
I've studied Hinduism, as I've studied Buddhism, Buddhism and all

130
00:07:21.300 --> 00:07:25.019
of that, what I have noticed is that they have

131
00:07:25.180 --> 00:07:28.500
evolved over a period of time, just like Christianity did.

132
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.920
Christianity never existed with Christ. It was created by the

133
00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:35.939
Catholic Church. And, you know, a little bit before that,

134
00:07:35.980 --> 00:07:40.069
maybe by Paul. But the reality is that as we

135
00:07:40.189 --> 00:07:45.350
see that whole historicity going on, they have completely changed

136
00:07:45.810 --> 00:07:50.209
the original concepts and understanding of God. and his son,

137
00:07:50.689 --> 00:07:53.910
and even who we are. And so I find that

138
00:07:53.970 --> 00:07:56.509
interesting now to the point where here we are trying

139
00:07:56.550 --> 00:07:59.389
to figure it out. And as we study these different

140
00:07:59.910 --> 00:08:04.370
areas and different theologies, to some degree, they've moved the

141
00:08:04.449 --> 00:08:07.949
physical God out of the picture and put in this,

142
00:08:08.269 --> 00:08:11.310
as you said, and I say this with the totalest

143
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:14.860
deep respect, you know, because that's the general feeling now

144
00:08:14.920 --> 00:08:18.100
that he's just everywhere and everything and so on and

145
00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:21.689
so forth. And it's interesting to me that it doesn't

146
00:08:21.730 --> 00:08:24.430
make any difference, I guess, for people as to what

147
00:08:24.470 --> 00:08:27.389
they think. I think we need to respect everyone's viewpoint.

148
00:08:27.790 --> 00:08:31.250
But the key is, is that we have, as you say,

149
00:08:31.350 --> 00:08:36.799
some conscious field out there that literally we can tap

150
00:08:36.940 --> 00:08:41.059
into that can make an incredible difference in our lives.

151
00:08:41.659 --> 00:08:43.779
And I want you to share a little bit about

152
00:08:43.820 --> 00:08:47.259
what your experience has been with that, with consciousness, with

153
00:08:47.299 --> 00:08:50.429
the quantum field. and what that has been for you.

154
00:08:50.889 --> 00:08:55.019
Well, yes, I'd love to. And yes, your journey is

155
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:59.220
very similar. And I expect there's probably millions of people

156
00:08:59.259 --> 00:09:02.419
on the same journey with the same questions. And where

157
00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:06.840
do they find the answers is hard because nobody really

158
00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:10.750
knows the true answer because we only live this physical life.

159
00:09:11.490 --> 00:09:15.720
And once we're passed on, nobody comes back. except for

160
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.379
some people that believe they've had miraculous after-death experiences and

161
00:09:19.419 --> 00:09:23.379
come back. We're not sure whether they see, but anyway.

162
00:09:23.779 --> 00:09:27.570
So we're all on this similar journey and have similar thoughts,

163
00:09:27.649 --> 00:09:29.649
but some of us go a little bit deeper and

164
00:09:30.009 --> 00:09:32.629
find these things, and then we have to test them

165
00:09:32.730 --> 00:09:35.429
out to see if they're real. So that's what I've

166
00:09:35.450 --> 00:09:39.080
done in part of my journey, and it's experiences that

167
00:09:39.179 --> 00:09:42.039
I had over and over again that I started to

168
00:09:42.080 --> 00:09:45.649
think they're more than just coincidences. And I'm more than

169
00:09:45.710 --> 00:09:49.340
just lucky because they keep happening as long as I

170
00:09:49.379 --> 00:09:53.059
keep being the same person. So I try and raise

171
00:09:53.100 --> 00:09:56.669
my elevation of my vibration, my feeling, my happiness, my

172
00:09:56.750 --> 00:10:01.389
joy to everybody and everything. and I realized that everything

173
00:10:01.429 --> 00:10:04.620
goes well the doors open for me things just seem

174
00:10:04.639 --> 00:10:06.879
to go better than other people and then I felt

175
00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:09.960
happy all the time because other people weren't happy but

176
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:14.019
they gravitated towards me wondering why I was so happy

177
00:10:14.480 --> 00:10:17.700
I'm thinking well I'm happy because I'm enjoying life and

178
00:10:17.740 --> 00:10:21.460
I don't hold animosity towards anything And I don't judge

179
00:10:21.539 --> 00:10:24.710
other things. I mean, you can have fun by making

180
00:10:24.929 --> 00:10:28.330
really cool about something in passing of your friends. But

181
00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:31.110
that's just a bit of fun. And it's not hurting anyone.

182
00:10:31.149 --> 00:10:33.929
It's harmless. And we all do that. But in reality,

183
00:10:34.129 --> 00:10:38.009
I don't hold anger towards anything, but respect and love

184
00:10:38.070 --> 00:10:41.539
and gratitude. And things just seem to work easy for me.

185
00:10:42.059 --> 00:10:44.929
As I said, jobs open, doors open. And so I

186
00:10:44.980 --> 00:10:47.700
decided to think about the little bit that you said

187
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:50.740
about that. And we talked about earlier that God is

188
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:55.120
everywhere in everything. And I thought, well, I've seen people

189
00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.879
ask God directly, not knowing what God is, but have

190
00:10:58.899 --> 00:11:02.220
an answer. So I did that while I was working

191
00:11:02.299 --> 00:11:06.809
at one place. And I asked God, I'm not sure

192
00:11:07.049 --> 00:11:10.629
if I'm not threatening, but I felt bad about demanding.

193
00:11:11.009 --> 00:11:14.960
So I thought, God, I need to find a a valve,

194
00:11:15.039 --> 00:11:19.200
which is a tap on a line and a gas plant,

195
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:23.039
and there's probably 10,000 or more, maybe 100,000 valves on

196
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:25.809
this giant plant in Darwin. And I was with a

197
00:11:25.850 --> 00:11:28.350
team of guys, and I said, God, can you help

198
00:11:28.389 --> 00:11:30.809
me find this valve? And the team of guys was

199
00:11:30.870 --> 00:11:34.289
about six. And morning break came along, and they said,

200
00:11:34.309 --> 00:11:36.509
we're going to break now, we can't find it. And

201
00:11:36.529 --> 00:11:38.120
I knew I'm in the right area because I had

202
00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:41.470
plans on drawings, but I couldn't find it. And so

203
00:11:41.509 --> 00:11:43.549
the guy said, we're going to break. You're going with us.

204
00:11:43.649 --> 00:11:45.389
I said, no, I want to stay here just a

205
00:11:45.409 --> 00:11:47.590
few more minutes. I wanted to be on my own.

206
00:11:47.970 --> 00:11:50.250
So when I was on my own, I said out loud, God,

207
00:11:50.470 --> 00:11:52.750
help me find this valve. I know you can do this.

208
00:11:53.230 --> 00:11:55.549
Just send me the message from my emotion. I'm going

209
00:11:55.570 --> 00:11:58.049
to be guided by the emotion. So I started looking

210
00:11:58.110 --> 00:12:00.690
and I couldn't find it. And after 10, 15 minutes,

211
00:12:00.750 --> 00:12:03.769
I thought maybe I was imagining that this will work.

212
00:12:04.169 --> 00:12:06.240
And I started to go down the steps back to

213
00:12:06.259 --> 00:12:09.830
a lunchroom. And as I got to the bottom, An

214
00:12:09.899 --> 00:12:12.990
emotional feeling thought, you are in the right place, but

215
00:12:13.029 --> 00:12:15.629
the stairs above you. And I looked back up and

216
00:12:15.669 --> 00:12:17.929
there were stairs there. And I thought, oh, of course,

217
00:12:17.990 --> 00:12:20.669
I didn't go up the stairs. Now I felt excited.

218
00:12:21.090 --> 00:12:23.649
So I went up the stairs thinking this is it.

219
00:12:24.149 --> 00:12:26.629
And I looked around and there wasn't many valves. But

220
00:12:26.669 --> 00:12:28.330
I looked at every one and looked at the number

221
00:12:28.350 --> 00:12:30.190
tags on them to make sure I was finding the

222
00:12:30.230 --> 00:12:33.269
right one. And again, nothing. And I turned around and

223
00:12:33.309 --> 00:12:36.690
felt a little bit disappointed thinking I really, really had

224
00:12:36.730 --> 00:12:39.889
that emotion. I was right. And the message told me,

225
00:12:40.190 --> 00:12:43.230
no words, but I felt it. And as I started

226
00:12:43.269 --> 00:12:46.269
walking towards the stairs, there was a small tank, a

227
00:12:46.309 --> 00:12:49.799
vessel in front of me. And I thought, what's behind that?

228
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.679
And I looked around behind it and there was one valve.

229
00:12:53.120 --> 00:12:55.259
And the one I was looking for, I could not

230
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:57.440
believe it. It was the one I was looking for.

231
00:12:57.480 --> 00:13:00.100
It had been there all the time, right above us

232
00:13:00.159 --> 00:13:02.379
where we were below and right where it wanted to be.

233
00:13:02.909 --> 00:13:06.009
And I just smiled and said, thank you, God, out loud.

234
00:13:06.909 --> 00:13:10.889
the guidance in my heart and feeling came true. And

235
00:13:10.970 --> 00:13:13.990
so I raced back to our lunchroom with five minutes spare.

236
00:13:14.009 --> 00:13:16.269
And the guy said, where have you been? You've just

237
00:13:16.370 --> 00:13:18.950
used up all your lunch break. I don't care. I

238
00:13:18.970 --> 00:13:21.409
just felt so excited for the whole day, for days

239
00:13:21.490 --> 00:13:24.220
on end, actually, knowing that it can work if we

240
00:13:24.250 --> 00:13:25.340
listen inside.

241
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:29.299
And isn't it interesting? I've just had a similar experience,

242
00:13:30.179 --> 00:13:34.460
which to me is so fascinating. We call it coincidence.

243
00:13:34.860 --> 00:13:38.580
And And yet, if we really can begin to understand

244
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:43.279
that it isn't just coincidence, there's that divine that is

245
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.320
guiding us. And as you said, you thank God when

246
00:13:46.340 --> 00:13:51.200
that happened. I'm in Thailand. I'm seeking to bring my

247
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:55.570
wife to the U.S. And that's a major visa issue

248
00:13:55.610 --> 00:13:59.230
right now with what's going on. And so meanwhile, I

249
00:13:59.269 --> 00:14:01.690
have our home there that we will be in once

250
00:14:01.769 --> 00:14:05.429
we get there. But meanwhile, you know, I'm trying to

251
00:14:05.450 --> 00:14:06.830
figure out what to do with it. And I was

252
00:14:06.870 --> 00:14:08.669
talking to my son the other day and I said,

253
00:14:08.690 --> 00:14:11.690
you know, I'm not sure what to do with this.

254
00:14:12.029 --> 00:14:14.580
And he's saying, you know, maybe you should just rent

255
00:14:14.629 --> 00:14:17.960
it until you get back. And it's going to take,

256
00:14:17.980 --> 00:14:20.720
you know, 12 to 18 months for this whole thing

257
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:23.220
to happen. Why not? And save yourself a little bit

258
00:14:23.259 --> 00:14:26.440
of that expense. And I thought, you know what, Thomas,

259
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:30.529
that's a great idea. I'm going to consider that. Two

260
00:14:30.570 --> 00:14:33.110
hours later, he called me. Dad, you're not going to

261
00:14:33.129 --> 00:14:36.809
believe this. And he happens to be a property manager.

262
00:14:37.450 --> 00:14:38.889
He says, you're not going to believe this. One of

263
00:14:38.950 --> 00:14:42.190
my best friends just called me. He's going through a divorce.

264
00:14:42.690 --> 00:14:46.299
He needs a place to rent, according to his attorney,

265
00:14:46.519 --> 00:14:49.279
for the next six months to a year. And I'm going,

266
00:14:49.759 --> 00:14:51.679
have him look at the house. And so he went

267
00:14:51.720 --> 00:14:53.799
through the house. He said, yes. And so all of

268
00:14:53.860 --> 00:14:56.610
a sudden, I've got it rented until I get the

269
00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.470
visa for my wife. And I'm looking at that. And

270
00:15:00.570 --> 00:15:04.490
as I'm on my next morning walking meditation, I'm thinking

271
00:15:04.509 --> 00:15:08.720
to myself, which I do, Father, thank you. I could

272
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:11.840
look at this as a coincidence. But the reality is,

273
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:16.080
thank you, because you got me thinking along that way.

274
00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:20.450
You got my son thinking along that way, ultimately, just

275
00:15:20.529 --> 00:15:23.830
in time. So when my son got that call, he

276
00:15:23.889 --> 00:15:28.059
had everything ready. And I think that so often as

277
00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:31.139
people go through their lives and they notice these coincidences

278
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:36.019
that they forget and really depending on their upgrading and

279
00:15:36.059 --> 00:15:39.799
so forth, they don't realize that there's a higher value

280
00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:44.700
that they can acknowledge, which is that divine being, however

281
00:15:44.740 --> 00:15:47.940
you want to look at that, that literally is looking

282
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:52.019
over us. And as we seek to really become the

283
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.039
best that we can, He is there to guide us

284
00:15:55.100 --> 00:15:56.179
in so many different ways.

285
00:15:56.590 --> 00:15:59.629
That's absolutely wonderful, that experience. And look, many of us

286
00:15:59.669 --> 00:16:03.090
do have them. And I've told some other different experiences

287
00:16:03.129 --> 00:16:07.149
to friends or acquaintances briefly, and they say, that happened

288
00:16:07.190 --> 00:16:09.710
to me. And I thought, well, it happens to everyone.

289
00:16:10.129 --> 00:16:14.440
But unfortunately, we're constantly looking at our physical senses as

290
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:18.259
a human being and forget there's a divine energy there

291
00:16:18.539 --> 00:16:22.620
that's always there listening to us. And it's negative or positive.

292
00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.899
It doesn't matter. It's just energy. And we're tapping into that.

293
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.480
And it's not a coincidence because when you find that

294
00:16:28.899 --> 00:16:32.159
your connection happened, it was meant to happen because you

295
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:34.440
put it out there. It wasn't your son that put

296
00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:36.659
it out there. You put it out there. And it

297
00:16:36.700 --> 00:16:39.620
connected through him and through another person. And the same

298
00:16:39.659 --> 00:16:41.870
for me. It connects to other people. You get a

299
00:16:41.950 --> 00:16:44.929
message from someone weeks later that the answer was in

300
00:16:44.970 --> 00:16:47.590
that person. They don't even know they give you the answer.

301
00:16:47.909 --> 00:16:50.529
But you know, because you were asking. And this is

302
00:16:50.629 --> 00:16:52.970
more than coincidence. It happens too many times.

303
00:16:53.730 --> 00:16:56.129
Oh, I know. And, you know, I love the name

304
00:16:56.190 --> 00:16:58.450
of your new book that's coming out, you know, The

305
00:16:58.490 --> 00:17:03.490
Sacred Hum of I Am. And I have focused on

306
00:17:03.529 --> 00:17:06.869
those words, I am, for so long, because as you

307
00:17:06.910 --> 00:17:10.799
probably know, one of my main focuses now is to

308
00:17:10.859 --> 00:17:13.700
help people. And I've developed this whole concept of a

309
00:17:13.740 --> 00:17:17.440
quiet return, return back to who you truly are. And

310
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:21.910
as we look at all of these transformational processes that

311
00:17:21.950 --> 00:17:25.710
go on and everyone's trying to change because of all

312
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.599
all the silly stuff that has been created in our

313
00:17:29.640 --> 00:17:33.759
subconscious that to some degree we have no free agency

314
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:37.660
anymore because our lives are controlled by our parents by

315
00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:40.960
our religion by our society and so forth at an

316
00:17:41.029 --> 00:17:44.509
early age and yet the reality is is that we

317
00:17:44.609 --> 00:17:49.890
can quietly return to i am that divine within us.

318
00:17:50.230 --> 00:17:53.220
And so that's kind of what I got so attracted

319
00:17:53.240 --> 00:17:55.819
to wanting to talk to you on the podcast, because

320
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:58.940
I love the name of that. But I want you

321
00:17:59.059 --> 00:18:01.839
to talk a little bit about what it means to

322
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:05.710
you when you talk about the divine within us and

323
00:18:05.849 --> 00:18:12.529
how people can begin to understand that, quote, who the

324
00:18:12.630 --> 00:18:17.220
identity is that they are right now is not necessarily

325
00:18:17.599 --> 00:18:18.960
truly who they are?

326
00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.359
Yes, thank you for asking that question. So people have

327
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:28.460
been brought up through schools and universities and family, church,

328
00:18:28.960 --> 00:18:32.890
and we're surrounded by information coming in that we're led

329
00:18:32.950 --> 00:18:36.109
to believe. And we don't generally question it. What we

330
00:18:36.150 --> 00:18:38.829
see is what we learn that we believe is true.

331
00:18:39.369 --> 00:18:41.690
And unfortunately, we go along for the whole life believing

332
00:18:41.750 --> 00:18:45.410
all that because we're taught that. We don't actually question

333
00:18:45.779 --> 00:18:49.680
what really is the truth, which is, well, the word.

334
00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:51.539
What is truth? How can you measure it? You can't

335
00:18:51.559 --> 00:18:54.380
touch it. It really is the hidden part that we're

336
00:18:54.420 --> 00:18:58.269
not told is the truth part. But anyway, that's been

337
00:18:58.309 --> 00:19:01.369
like the doctrines are telling us something to lead us

338
00:19:01.410 --> 00:19:05.029
in a direction for their benefit, I would say, and

339
00:19:05.970 --> 00:19:09.690
generally a monetary benefit or controlling benefit or control over

340
00:19:09.730 --> 00:19:13.430
the people. You are separate from God and God is

341
00:19:13.490 --> 00:19:16.420
different from you. how dare you think you're the same?

342
00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:20.329
You're not the same. We're human beings. He's separate. But

343
00:19:20.509 --> 00:19:23.569
I started to look into what Jesus actually said a

344
00:19:23.609 --> 00:19:27.509
lot and looked at the sayings he was saying. And

345
00:19:27.529 --> 00:19:30.789
I thought, these are messages. Everything was a message to

346
00:19:30.829 --> 00:19:35.180
live better. And we're not following that. And it's been

347
00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:39.380
misconstrued a lot. So the truth has been hidden a

348
00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:42.319
little bit. So I thought, these messages actually make so

349
00:19:42.380 --> 00:19:45.529
much sense. But when I went to say, Upanishads and

350
00:19:45.549 --> 00:19:49.369
the Vedas, which apparently Jesus went into India for 14

351
00:19:49.369 --> 00:19:52.890
years studying these and came back with these philosophies. And

352
00:19:52.910 --> 00:19:54.710
this is where a lot of things have been built from.

353
00:19:55.109 --> 00:19:57.990
The ancients knew a lot more. Where they got their.

354
00:19:57.869 --> 00:20:00.829
Knowledge, I don't know. But I want to stop you.

355
00:20:00.869 --> 00:20:03.930
I want to stop you right there, because if in fact,

356
00:20:03.990 --> 00:20:05.640
and you mentioned the Bible, so I'm going to bring

357
00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:10.680
it up. If in fact, Deuteronomy, Dead Sea Scrolls, states

358
00:20:10.849 --> 00:20:15.089
that Christ was assigned to this world, Jehovah was assigned

359
00:20:15.109 --> 00:20:19.609
to this world to oversee and ultimately come to the

360
00:20:19.690 --> 00:20:23.089
earth as a man to atone and to do what

361
00:20:23.150 --> 00:20:26.349
needed to be done for whatever reason that is. Then

362
00:20:26.430 --> 00:20:28.369
all of a sudden, and I've looked at that very

363
00:20:28.410 --> 00:20:33.130
same question you just mentioned, and my perception, and it's

364
00:20:33.250 --> 00:20:38.250
my perception, I agree, that they were taught that by

365
00:20:38.309 --> 00:20:42.029
the divine in long before the divine came to the

366
00:20:42.109 --> 00:20:45.569
earth as a mortal being. And so he had to,

367
00:20:45.710 --> 00:20:49.369
as a mortal and experienced mortality like we are, he

368
00:20:49.430 --> 00:20:52.690
had to relearn it again. And as you say, you know,

369
00:20:53.049 --> 00:20:56.490
as the scriptures say, he grew from grace to grace.

370
00:20:56.859 --> 00:20:59.160
He learned to the point where he was able to

371
00:20:59.220 --> 00:21:03.480
then come out into his ministry. So I personally believe

372
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:08.759
as the divine, he taught Buddha, he taught the Hindu people,

373
00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:12.859
that concept of becoming. And then when he got here

374
00:21:12.940 --> 00:21:15.079
to the earth, he began to teach it again once

375
00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:15.779
he relearned it.

376
00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:22.710
Well, we're virtually doing the same. We're relearning what we've forgotten.

377
00:21:23.730 --> 00:21:25.869
And I mean, I don't say that I remember some

378
00:21:25.950 --> 00:21:29.950
past life, but what I'm learning, I think it's like

379
00:21:30.009 --> 00:21:33.329
I've already, I should be knowing. And when I discover it,

380
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.400
the excitement inside is, I should have known this. Why

381
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:39.890
am I not seeing it? And when you see messages

382
00:21:39.930 --> 00:21:45.009
from Jesus and other great philosophers, their message is very similar.

383
00:21:45.029 --> 00:21:47.569
And I think they're all messages for us to live

384
00:21:47.609 --> 00:21:50.609
a better life, not to struggle. I know there's many

385
00:21:50.650 --> 00:21:55.000
things in play. We can't say there's one saving grace

386
00:21:55.019 --> 00:21:58.960
that will solve everything. But everyone has an individual journey.

387
00:21:59.390 --> 00:22:02.250
And they're all learning these things to make a happier life.

388
00:22:02.630 --> 00:22:06.430
So this happier life is really what we're almost in

389
00:22:06.509 --> 00:22:09.210
control of. And so that's when I learned the old

390
00:22:09.309 --> 00:22:12.970
messages actually were telling me something that we should be

391
00:22:13.019 --> 00:22:16.920
sticking to. And so I started to look at them

392
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:21.460
as literal message, not some cryptic message of saying. So

393
00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:24.259
this was part of my deep delving into things.

394
00:22:24.819 --> 00:22:28.180
Well, and in your book, you talk about the ancient truths,

395
00:22:28.599 --> 00:22:31.859
and I believe that we can call them that. They

396
00:22:31.960 --> 00:22:36.329
are the ancient truths that they have been deliberately obscured

397
00:22:36.750 --> 00:22:40.309
by power, by systems of power. Talk a little bit

398
00:22:40.549 --> 00:22:43.529
about that with your research and so forth, and how

399
00:22:43.609 --> 00:22:48.779
you observed that those true teachings of ancient times have

400
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:51.569
been obscured. through the years. Yes.

401
00:22:51.730 --> 00:22:55.390
So I would always believe, well, as a younger person,

402
00:22:55.910 --> 00:23:00.930
that that's possibly a wrong thinking. And that was my

403
00:23:00.970 --> 00:23:04.569
conditioning along with everybody else. But then I realized that

404
00:23:04.730 --> 00:23:07.170
I need to step out of that box, that I'm

405
00:23:07.210 --> 00:23:11.450
a human being of no denomination, but studying what's in

406
00:23:11.490 --> 00:23:14.000
front of me. So let's look at it literally and

407
00:23:14.059 --> 00:23:17.579
go down that education path that I have to rely

408
00:23:17.680 --> 00:23:21.170
on the meditation of Something is guiding me and listen

409
00:23:21.230 --> 00:23:24.450
to that. So the things that I learned then were

410
00:23:26.069 --> 00:23:29.450
Jesus saying, my father and I are one. Well, if

411
00:23:29.710 --> 00:23:33.660
the father made Jesus and he's the same as his father,

412
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:37.299
then he's one. Then are we the same? Because he died,

413
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:40.519
he's flesh and blood. His message is still there. So

414
00:23:40.640 --> 00:23:42.880
I thought, well, what does he actually mean by that?

415
00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:46.180
And then other things, I say to you, verily, you

416
00:23:46.240 --> 00:23:49.470
are all God's. And also when the Last Supper, he

417
00:23:49.490 --> 00:23:53.609
anointed all the apostles with the Holy Spirit, whom then

418
00:23:53.650 --> 00:23:57.009
went out and did miraculous events like Jesus did. So

419
00:23:57.549 --> 00:24:01.609
to my understanding, that anointing was awakening their mind that

420
00:24:01.670 --> 00:24:05.049
the Holy Spirit is within everybody. And you just have

421
00:24:05.089 --> 00:24:08.309
to believe. And Jesus actually said to them, you need

422
00:24:08.349 --> 00:24:10.789
to trust and believe. And when he walked through the

423
00:24:10.849 --> 00:24:14.029
Valley of the Lepers, I'm sorry to use some biblical

424
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:17.759
stories here, but they're strong in my heart. And for

425
00:24:17.799 --> 00:24:22.079
people that haven't got that religious background, you can look

426
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.619
them up. And anyway, apparently he went into the Valley

427
00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:26.900
of the Lepers and he may have been there two

428
00:24:26.940 --> 00:24:29.200
weeks or two months or two years. We don't really know.

429
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:32.450
And when he walked out, five people come out that

430
00:24:32.470 --> 00:24:35.250
were cured and four of them ran off. And one

431
00:24:35.289 --> 00:24:37.470
of them come back and said to Jesus, thank you

432
00:24:37.490 --> 00:24:40.230
for curing me. And Jesus said, I didn't cure you.

433
00:24:40.549 --> 00:24:44.410
Your faith cured you. I thought our faith is controlling us.

434
00:24:44.950 --> 00:24:47.750
We have to believe it. How do I believe enough

435
00:24:48.049 --> 00:24:50.470
that I can make a miraculous event? I was just

436
00:24:50.630 --> 00:24:53.450
wanting that to happen so much that if I have

437
00:24:53.470 --> 00:24:56.220
enough faith. But when I went to India and I

438
00:24:56.259 --> 00:24:59.420
saw a man of miracles there teaching exactly the same

439
00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:02.380
and I saw the miracles and he said to people,

440
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:04.900
you would like to do the miracles I do, but

441
00:25:04.920 --> 00:25:07.480
you just don't believe. I thought, well, I am believing,

442
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:08.599
but it doesn't happen.

443
00:25:11.660 --> 00:25:16.700
Well, as you bring up this whole point of, you know,

444
00:25:16.920 --> 00:25:19.299
him saying that he is one with the Father, but

445
00:25:19.319 --> 00:25:22.099
then he says to us, you are to become one

446
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:25.349
with me as I am one with the Father. And

447
00:25:25.380 --> 00:25:29.349
yet later on, he returns as a resurrected being and

448
00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:33.799
He's later seen by Stephen sitting on the right hand

449
00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:36.140
of God. And so we realize, and that's where I

450
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:39.579
love the name of your book, you know, I Am,

451
00:25:40.079 --> 00:25:44.789
that we are literally becoming like him and therefore we

452
00:25:45.089 --> 00:25:49.210
become one with him as he is one with the

453
00:25:49.269 --> 00:25:54.259
Father in purpose and quality of character. And I love

454
00:25:54.279 --> 00:25:59.259
that you bring that up. So what happened? What Why

455
00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:03.720
were the powers such that they started to diminish that

456
00:26:03.869 --> 00:26:08.789
concept to the point where, in general, people do not

457
00:26:08.829 --> 00:26:10.029
have that understanding?

458
00:26:10.369 --> 00:26:14.210
Well, they realized that they can control the governments by fear,

459
00:26:14.609 --> 00:26:17.130
which is the power they had, and they did for

460
00:26:17.170 --> 00:26:20.619
many years. And then the governments realized that we don't

461
00:26:20.859 --> 00:26:23.960
really need the church. We can control them by fear, too.

462
00:26:24.339 --> 00:26:27.380
So they controlled the masses, and then people are slaves

463
00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:33.269
to the doctrines and the religious and the country's laws

464
00:26:33.849 --> 00:26:37.089
all over the world that people become greedy and want

465
00:26:37.150 --> 00:26:40.470
that power so that people will pay taxes and tithe

466
00:26:40.569 --> 00:26:43.450
money or whatever. They found that that was a good

467
00:26:43.509 --> 00:26:47.170
controlling thing. It still goes on today. And people can

468
00:26:47.210 --> 00:26:50.779
have different views on that. I'm quite okay with that.

469
00:26:50.900 --> 00:26:53.119
But that is my view. So I'm not trying to

470
00:26:53.180 --> 00:26:56.119
change anybody, but I would like them to understand, to

471
00:26:56.200 --> 00:26:59.220
open their mind But when you open your mind and listen,

472
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:03.440
this is when some messages come. And they're not coincidence

473
00:27:03.900 --> 00:27:08.220
because you're always connected. So when Jesus says many things,

474
00:27:09.619 --> 00:27:13.750
they sound a bit cryptic, but maybe talk to a

475
00:27:13.829 --> 00:27:16.890
group of people or someone that's interested and they can

476
00:27:16.930 --> 00:27:19.349
bounce off each other. I found that was good. But

477
00:27:19.569 --> 00:27:22.549
that name of the book came because I decided to

478
00:27:22.650 --> 00:27:25.509
ask God directly I only use the word God because

479
00:27:25.569 --> 00:27:28.890
it could be some other energy, divine universe. I said,

480
00:27:29.130 --> 00:27:31.019
what should be the name of my book? And I

481
00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:33.660
laid there thinking and a message come to my head.

482
00:27:34.079 --> 00:27:37.279
I am is the answer. Well, is that an answer?

483
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:40.109
So I said again, what shall I call my book?

484
00:27:40.670 --> 00:27:44.089
And again, the same message I am is the answer. Well,

485
00:27:44.109 --> 00:27:45.829
I know it's the answer to everything, but is that

486
00:27:45.869 --> 00:27:47.880
the name of the book? I can't just call it that.

487
00:27:48.819 --> 00:27:51.819
And I knew I'd written about frequencies and vibrations, which

488
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:54.859
connects to the quantum side of things, the physics, and

489
00:27:54.940 --> 00:27:58.400
how those miraculous events can happen. I'm not a physicist,

490
00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:01.809
but I understand a lot how that works. So I

491
00:28:01.869 --> 00:28:05.730
thought the vibration is in the universe everywhere. It's within us,

492
00:28:05.789 --> 00:28:09.430
it's in the animals, the plants, the frequency is there.

493
00:28:10.009 --> 00:28:13.930
So the frequency is a ancient hum, and that's what

494
00:28:13.950 --> 00:28:18.289
the ancients actually called this. The sacred hum is the

495
00:28:18.369 --> 00:28:22.319
frequency that connects to I am. That's the name of

496
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:25.660
my book. So that's how that happened, because I connected

497
00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:27.240
to that higher consciousness.

498
00:28:27.779 --> 00:28:30.220
Well, and I want to stop here and talk to

499
00:28:30.259 --> 00:28:33.890
those that are listening to this podcast, because in today's

500
00:28:33.950 --> 00:28:37.410
society and culture, particularly in the U.S., I don't know

501
00:28:37.470 --> 00:28:41.700
how it is in Australia, But there's such anger and

502
00:28:41.759 --> 00:28:47.480
resentment and pushback when someone expresses their personal belief. And yet,

503
00:28:47.640 --> 00:28:50.369
as I've looked at this and evaluated it, talked to

504
00:28:50.430 --> 00:28:53.009
so many people on my podcast and so forth, one

505
00:28:53.049 --> 00:28:55.089
of the things I understand and I want to share

506
00:28:55.109 --> 00:28:58.529
with the audience is this, that as you listen, if

507
00:28:58.569 --> 00:29:02.490
you disagree, that's perfectly fine because we all have our

508
00:29:02.569 --> 00:29:07.970
own different beliefs and perceptions. But this word that you used, curiosity,

509
00:29:08.410 --> 00:29:13.170
When rather than fighting against something, we become curious to

510
00:29:13.250 --> 00:29:17.809
seek to understand why someone has a different perspective, and

511
00:29:17.849 --> 00:29:21.809
we start to apply that curiosity, it may not change

512
00:29:21.910 --> 00:29:25.529
what our personal beliefs are, but at least it removes

513
00:29:25.549 --> 00:29:30.539
that frustration and anger and pushback and allows us to say, okay,

514
00:29:30.730 --> 00:29:33.940
I understand why they believe that. I don't necessarily agree,

515
00:29:34.400 --> 00:29:39.650
but it takes away that cultural pushback and anger that

516
00:29:39.829 --> 00:29:42.369
seems to be existing so i just wanted to say

517
00:29:42.410 --> 00:29:45.069
that to the audience as we're talking here but you

518
00:29:45.130 --> 00:29:48.509
talked about the vibration you talked about the frequency i

519
00:29:48.549 --> 00:29:51.880
think that's something really important for people to understand and

520
00:29:51.930 --> 00:29:53.420
i'd love for you to get into that in a

521
00:29:53.410 --> 00:29:55.670
little bit more depth so i.

522
00:29:55.619 --> 00:29:58.900
Read lots of different books and i resonated well with

523
00:29:58.920 --> 00:30:05.730
um The Biology of Belief. So that was extremely interesting.

524
00:30:05.809 --> 00:30:09.569
I listened to some free podcasts on that. And Dr.

525
00:30:09.589 --> 00:30:12.529
Bruce Lipton wrote these. And I thought, this is a

526
00:30:12.609 --> 00:30:15.410
lot of information and it resonates so well. It sounds

527
00:30:15.849 --> 00:30:18.990
so sincere. I bought one of his books and then

528
00:30:19.049 --> 00:30:21.150
I read some more and I thought, now it's starting

529
00:30:21.190 --> 00:30:24.799
to make sense that we're made up of 50 trillion cells.

530
00:30:25.299 --> 00:30:29.160
But inside the cells, there's the atoms. And inside the atoms,

531
00:30:29.220 --> 00:30:33.880
we have protons, neutrons, and electrons. And inside those, the

532
00:30:33.900 --> 00:30:38.579
scientists can see with the electron microscopes that they're just quarks.

533
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:44.000
But inside the quarks, there's charms and down quarks and

534
00:30:44.460 --> 00:30:47.630
neurons and lots of different names. But inside those, all

535
00:30:47.650 --> 00:30:52.170
we have is strings of energy, nothing solid, just vibrating

536
00:30:52.269 --> 00:30:55.410
strings of negative and positive energy. And that's all there is.

537
00:30:55.890 --> 00:30:59.509
So then everything we see is an illusion. which you've

538
00:30:59.549 --> 00:31:02.339
probably heard, and many people may have heard that everything

539
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:04.900
is an illusion. Well, how does that make sense when

540
00:31:04.940 --> 00:31:07.259
you can see it? But it is an illusion that

541
00:31:07.339 --> 00:31:10.400
what we're seeing is what we're taught to believe and

542
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:14.539
appear as solid, but it's not really solid. Therefore, we

543
00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:18.569
are no different than the particles making up the rocks

544
00:31:18.650 --> 00:31:21.789
and the earth. We're just different compositions. And we have

545
00:31:21.829 --> 00:31:25.069
the brain that works. So how come, what is controlling

546
00:31:25.130 --> 00:31:27.910
our brain? Though I thought it is the vibration from

547
00:31:27.930 --> 00:31:31.720
the frequency's joining to the universe that Jesus talks about,

548
00:31:31.960 --> 00:31:35.420
the divine energy within us. Come into a human being

549
00:31:35.900 --> 00:31:38.970
to enjoy a human experience. And then before we know it,

550
00:31:39.119 --> 00:31:42.059
in a nanosecond, we've gone and we start all over again.

551
00:31:42.079 --> 00:31:44.539
No one really knows where we go to, but we

552
00:31:44.579 --> 00:31:47.680
go back, start again. So then I realized that the

553
00:31:47.769 --> 00:31:52.029
physics is quite important. And I watched a movie in

554
00:31:52.029 --> 00:31:54.990
1988 called Down the Rabbit Hole. And it was termed

555
00:31:55.049 --> 00:31:57.309
as What the Bleep, Down the Rabbit Hole, same name.

556
00:31:57.950 --> 00:32:00.450
It became an arthouse sensation and was the number one

557
00:32:00.490 --> 00:32:03.369
hit in the world where science went down one path

558
00:32:03.890 --> 00:32:08.769
and spirituality went down a parallel path. They never actually joined.

559
00:32:08.789 --> 00:32:11.930
They didn't agree, but they were searching for the same answer.

560
00:32:12.410 --> 00:32:15.799
And in that movie, it blew people's minds apart because

561
00:32:15.910 --> 00:32:20.000
of the science proving certain points. They want tangibility. But

562
00:32:20.059 --> 00:32:23.480
the spiritualists knew this anyway, but couldn't actually prove it

563
00:32:23.940 --> 00:32:26.769
other than through healing miracles. And that was one of

564
00:32:26.789 --> 00:32:29.769
the greatest openings for my mind to venture down that

565
00:32:29.829 --> 00:32:32.730
path that we really go in the same direction. And

566
00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:35.579
everything is there. We just have to realize it and

567
00:32:35.660 --> 00:32:39.000
see it. And everyone's on their own journey. And I

568
00:32:39.039 --> 00:32:41.319
would love to be part of everyone's journey, helping them

569
00:32:41.359 --> 00:32:44.440
with anything I can. Because what I've discovered now is,

570
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:48.359
I think, miraculous that I've led this direction. And we

571
00:32:48.440 --> 00:32:50.559
all do the same. And we can do many, many

572
00:32:50.680 --> 00:32:52.140
wonderful things for our own life.

573
00:32:52.539 --> 00:32:55.599
So what is the journey that you would want to

574
00:32:55.700 --> 00:33:00.049
help people to experience in their lives? What is that journey?

575
00:33:00.410 --> 00:33:03.990
I would love them to realize that they can be happy.

576
00:33:04.009 --> 00:33:07.210
That's all we want. We work hard to get money

577
00:33:07.690 --> 00:33:10.390
to buy things to make us happy. We look for

578
00:33:10.430 --> 00:33:14.890
a partner in life because that person hopefully will enjoy

579
00:33:14.930 --> 00:33:17.890
a happy life together. We want to experience things. We

580
00:33:17.930 --> 00:33:22.329
eat food to enjoy happiness. So happiness really is their goal.

581
00:33:23.049 --> 00:33:25.750
Not buying things or collecting things because when we go,

582
00:33:25.809 --> 00:33:29.210
we don't take anything with us. But the happiness is

583
00:33:29.289 --> 00:33:32.119
the journey and the goal. But how do we get

584
00:33:32.150 --> 00:33:35.200
there when we're surrounded by so many things? Well, our

585
00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:38.380
focus is too much on the negative things and then

586
00:33:38.440 --> 00:33:41.559
they become real because the energy of the universe, the

587
00:33:41.579 --> 00:33:44.960
divine energy, gives you what you're thinking about most. So

588
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:47.950
the best way to try and be happy and start

589
00:33:47.970 --> 00:33:51.210
the journey is switch off the phone, switch off the TV.

590
00:33:51.890 --> 00:33:55.349
take a little bit of time out for yourself in

591
00:33:55.410 --> 00:33:57.690
a park or go for a walk or go in

592
00:33:57.710 --> 00:34:01.869
the evening or early morning where there's no social media,

593
00:34:01.910 --> 00:34:05.809
no electronic data, and just start listening to that silence

594
00:34:05.869 --> 00:34:08.880
in your mind. And through that silence, that's when I

595
00:34:08.909 --> 00:34:11.800
believe the messages will come to you. Not in words,

596
00:34:12.360 --> 00:34:15.019
and maybe people will get words, but generally through an

597
00:34:15.059 --> 00:34:19.139
emotion and you'll feel that that message is right. And

598
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:21.500
that's where you'll start realizing I need to follow this.

599
00:34:21.969 --> 00:34:24.429
Well, and I love it as you talk about that.

600
00:34:24.730 --> 00:34:28.369
I love meditation, but I do it walking. And I

601
00:34:28.369 --> 00:34:32.289
do it for an hour to an hour and 20

602
00:34:32.289 --> 00:34:34.650
minutes and so forth. So, you know, two to three miles.

603
00:34:35.239 --> 00:34:39.980
And what I find interesting about that, and again, as

604
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:43.480
I've talked to hundreds of people about this on my podcast,

605
00:34:43.900 --> 00:34:47.260
that so often as we start to do that, all

606
00:34:47.280 --> 00:34:52.659
of those subconscious imprints that have been placed on us,

607
00:34:52.860 --> 00:34:56.530
whether it's by religion, family, society, whatever that happens to be,

608
00:34:56.989 --> 00:35:00.289
starts to come up. And it's those things that if

609
00:35:00.349 --> 00:35:05.190
we don't recognize that are creating the experiences and our

610
00:35:05.250 --> 00:35:08.840
perception of what life is all about. And so I

611
00:35:08.860 --> 00:35:10.639
guess one of my questions for you, and I have

612
00:35:10.659 --> 00:35:12.219
my own answer to this, but I want you to

613
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.340
share your thoughts on this, is that when those things

614
00:35:15.420 --> 00:35:18.420
come up, and particularly as we're going through that process

615
00:35:18.460 --> 00:35:23.360
of however that meditation occurs, How does someone deal with

616
00:35:23.539 --> 00:35:27.639
those things that have literally created their life to this point?

617
00:35:28.199 --> 00:35:31.210
And if they've started that new journey, how do they

618
00:35:31.329 --> 00:35:36.710
deal with those things so that rather than fighting them, which,

619
00:35:36.730 --> 00:35:39.369
you know, I love this concept of that which we

620
00:35:39.429 --> 00:35:42.849
resist persists. How do they deal with that in a

621
00:35:42.909 --> 00:35:47.280
way that those start to minimize to where they actually

622
00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:49.079
then truly become I am?

623
00:35:50.019 --> 00:35:58.630
That's a huge question. There's not one definitive answer. There's

624
00:35:58.690 --> 00:36:01.030
a lot of things that you realize on this sort

625
00:36:01.070 --> 00:36:04.269
of journey. And the meditation is a good place. And

626
00:36:04.530 --> 00:36:06.630
I used to sit quietly every day in the same

627
00:36:06.690 --> 00:36:10.769
spot for weeks and months and realize I was meditating.

628
00:36:11.409 --> 00:36:13.869
But as you go on, you realize you can get better.

629
00:36:14.010 --> 00:36:16.829
And it's tuning out of all these surroundings as you're

630
00:36:16.849 --> 00:36:20.920
doing walking or working. You don't have to drift off

631
00:36:20.980 --> 00:36:23.699
to a trance or anything you just tune out to

632
00:36:23.739 --> 00:36:28.219
everything around you and become not attached to anything and

633
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.480
that is a form of meditation listening to what we

634
00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:34.880
would term as god or the divine energy that will

635
00:36:34.920 --> 00:36:38.719
give us those answers so when we're not happy in

636
00:36:38.780 --> 00:36:41.840
life then you need to who do you ask your

637
00:36:41.909 --> 00:36:46.389
family or or friends but ask that divine energy and

638
00:36:46.429 --> 00:36:49.849
the divine energy will maybe give you a feeling that

639
00:36:50.010 --> 00:36:52.750
your job's not right, your partner's not right, where you're

640
00:36:52.769 --> 00:36:55.880
living is not right, then that is your message coming

641
00:36:55.940 --> 00:36:59.440
from the higher energy telling you that you should move along.

642
00:36:59.820 --> 00:37:02.500
But that energy is there like a God always or

643
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:05.440
a father or a parent watching you, guiding you, and

644
00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:07.739
it wants to help you. So if you think, no,

645
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:10.590
I don't want to move, then you won't move. But

646
00:37:10.650 --> 00:37:13.150
if you do want to move from a house, then

647
00:37:13.250 --> 00:37:15.690
something will come up. You'll see a suburb or another

648
00:37:15.730 --> 00:37:18.260
house I would like to live there, And that energy

649
00:37:18.300 --> 00:37:21.820
is going in to the divine energy because you're not disconnected.

650
00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:25.519
You are connected and it will start happening slowly. So

651
00:37:25.659 --> 00:37:27.739
if you're not happy in a job and you're struggling,

652
00:37:28.059 --> 00:37:30.050
then leave the job. When you look at your life

653
00:37:30.110 --> 00:37:32.650
now and you look back three, four or five years ago,

654
00:37:33.130 --> 00:37:35.630
you're better off today. Most people will say yes.

655
00:37:36.110 --> 00:37:40.530
And I think that, you know, I listened to a

656
00:37:40.570 --> 00:37:44.559
talk by a religious leader a while ago. And I

657
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:47.579
loved what he was talking about because he was talking

658
00:37:47.619 --> 00:37:50.909
about new beginnings. And what he was talking about is,

659
00:37:50.989 --> 00:37:54.250
you know, folks, as you go through life and you're

660
00:37:54.289 --> 00:37:58.650
experiencing things that you don't ultimately want to experience, guess what?

661
00:37:59.030 --> 00:38:02.110
There's always a new beginning. You can always do it.

662
00:38:02.170 --> 00:38:05.159
And as you talk about the journey, we can always

663
00:38:05.300 --> 00:38:09.019
create a new journey. And my personal experience through the years,

664
00:38:09.260 --> 00:38:12.000
and I've had many years to have those experiences, is

665
00:38:12.380 --> 00:38:16.769
that our journey never ends. And if we really have

666
00:38:16.909 --> 00:38:21.809
trust in that divine, we ultimately can start to experience

667
00:38:22.210 --> 00:38:24.989
what we seek to experience. I know this morning as

668
00:38:25.070 --> 00:38:30.889
I was walking and just meditating and thinking and appreciating,

669
00:38:31.460 --> 00:38:33.539
and all of a sudden my wife comes in and

670
00:38:33.619 --> 00:38:36.400
puts her hand in mine and we walk literally for

671
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:39.739
10 to 15 minutes hand in hand. And I thought

672
00:38:39.780 --> 00:38:44.650
to myself, this is something that I never, experienced in

673
00:38:44.710 --> 00:38:47.840
my life up to this point in time. And yet

674
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:52.059
I have been led to this experience and this journey.

675
00:38:52.579 --> 00:38:56.139
And what a wonderful blessing that is. Thank you, Father,

676
00:38:56.559 --> 00:38:59.820
for this blessing. And I think people need to understand that,

677
00:38:59.860 --> 00:39:03.079
you know, your journey is never over. And there's always

678
00:39:03.159 --> 00:39:06.949
the ability for a new beginning. And as we follow

679
00:39:07.010 --> 00:39:09.909
that concept, I think that's when we can start to

680
00:39:09.969 --> 00:39:11.610
experience what you're talking about.

681
00:39:11.929 --> 00:39:15.000
The journey starts today. And so you cannot go back

682
00:39:15.019 --> 00:39:18.000
to yesterday and you can't even go forward to tomorrow.

683
00:39:18.780 --> 00:39:21.360
Today is the day you make a difference. And how

684
00:39:21.400 --> 00:39:24.070
you approach it with your mind, with gratitude and love,

685
00:39:24.469 --> 00:39:27.650
then that is where it starts. Every single day, the

686
00:39:27.690 --> 00:39:29.590
bus takes off from the bus stop and a new

687
00:39:29.610 --> 00:39:31.880
journey begins. begins you don't go back to the old

688
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:34.659
one you continue the one you're on so as you

689
00:39:34.679 --> 00:39:37.320
believe and you follow that path that's where the journey

690
00:39:37.420 --> 00:39:39.519
is if you think back 10 years in your own

691
00:39:39.579 --> 00:39:42.380
life are you better off today yes then in 10

692
00:39:42.380 --> 00:39:44.210
years time you'll be better off the way you are

693
00:39:44.250 --> 00:39:47.210
today so this is part of the journey just moving

694
00:39:47.269 --> 00:39:48.030
forwards all the.

695
00:39:48.030 --> 00:39:50.800
Time and I love that so Let me ask you

696
00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:54.000
this question. Your book has not been published yet, but

697
00:39:54.059 --> 00:39:56.119
it's coming out very soon. Talk a little bit about

698
00:39:56.179 --> 00:40:00.050
how people can find you, number one, and then find

699
00:40:00.590 --> 00:40:03.409
your book so that it might be of value to them.

700
00:40:03.730 --> 00:40:06.210
Well, I'm glad you asked that. So the book for

701
00:40:06.250 --> 00:40:08.769
me is a passion that I hope people will read

702
00:40:08.809 --> 00:40:11.929
it to open their mind to the awareness of who

703
00:40:11.969 --> 00:40:15.349
they truly are and what they can be. to be happy.

704
00:40:15.369 --> 00:40:17.989
And that was the purpose of the book, to write

705
00:40:18.050 --> 00:40:22.190
my personal experiences so that the reader will resonate with

706
00:40:22.230 --> 00:40:26.719
the author that he's had personal experience and not just theory.

707
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:30.219
It's not a book on theory, although there's messages of

708
00:40:30.280 --> 00:40:33.239
how things happen. And I've tried to explain that. So

709
00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:36.989
to buy the book, I'm selling on the website. So

710
00:40:37.030 --> 00:40:43.110
the website is www.alangilanders.com. And the publishers will be publishing this,

711
00:40:43.550 --> 00:40:46.590
I believe, through Amazon. But the website is probably the

712
00:40:46.610 --> 00:40:49.679
best place to go to register an interest.

713
00:40:50.219 --> 00:40:53.639
Okay. And are they able to download the book, or

714
00:40:53.679 --> 00:40:56.940
does it get delivered in hard copy or soft copy,

715
00:40:57.039 --> 00:40:59.039
or do they download it in PDF?

716
00:40:59.760 --> 00:41:02.079
To be honest on that, Dr. Duggan, I am not

717
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:05.449
100% sure with the publishers until the last stage, which

718
00:41:05.489 --> 00:41:08.929
is a few weeks away, how they're going to promote this.

719
00:41:09.530 --> 00:41:13.230
I've spent years writing this, probably nine years and more

720
00:41:13.269 --> 00:41:16.449
than 45, 50 years studying it. Um, so I'm leaving

721
00:41:16.489 --> 00:41:18.809
it to the publishers and I know it'll be available

722
00:41:19.030 --> 00:41:23.090
on the website as a hard copy book and possibly

723
00:41:23.150 --> 00:41:26.809
be a soft copy and perhaps an audio too. So, uh,

724
00:41:27.030 --> 00:41:29.489
but register the interest and that's where you'll find a

725
00:41:29.510 --> 00:41:31.340
bit more about it in the next coming weeks.

726
00:41:31.860 --> 00:41:34.400
That's great. And I love the audio. I, you know,

727
00:41:34.420 --> 00:41:38.130
just as an aside, I found an incredible app that, uh,

728
00:41:38.750 --> 00:41:40.710
as I'm looking at some books that come down as

729
00:41:40.769 --> 00:41:43.690
a PDF, particularly from people that I'm interviewing that want

730
00:41:43.710 --> 00:41:46.349
to share it with me, it's like, I don't like

731
00:41:46.389 --> 00:41:48.449
to read. I don't like to sit down and read.

732
00:41:48.989 --> 00:41:51.679
I hate that. I love to listen. And I found

733
00:41:51.739 --> 00:41:54.559
an app that lets me take a PDF and actually

734
00:41:54.599 --> 00:41:59.619
listen to it as an audible. And it's amazing that

735
00:41:59.659 --> 00:42:01.820
people can do that. And I want the audience to

736
00:42:01.860 --> 00:42:04.199
know that, Hey, as you're, if you're not a reader,

737
00:42:04.670 --> 00:42:07.210
download these things and get them as a PDF and

738
00:42:07.250 --> 00:42:10.219
then find the app that allows you to actually listen

739
00:42:10.260 --> 00:42:15.059
to that. And it's amazing. So anyway, Alan, this has

740
00:42:15.079 --> 00:42:20.260
been incredible. I appreciate so much. You're sharing your journey.

741
00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:23.760
The fact that you've written this book and in my mind,

742
00:42:24.340 --> 00:42:27.699
and again, I say this so many times to have

743
00:42:27.719 --> 00:42:31.090
the journey of, And then to be able to share

744
00:42:31.110 --> 00:42:33.769
it with others so that you can make a difference

745
00:42:33.849 --> 00:42:37.130
in their lives, I think is such a high calling.

746
00:42:37.690 --> 00:42:39.269
And I acknowledge you for that.

747
00:42:39.869 --> 00:42:43.329
That is really my sole goal is just to hopefully

748
00:42:43.369 --> 00:42:46.030
people read it. I went to work a month ago

749
00:42:46.050 --> 00:42:48.659
with some young engineers and one engineer said to me,

750
00:42:49.110 --> 00:42:51.059
your book sounds fascinating. So what do you hope to

751
00:42:51.099 --> 00:42:51.960
get from this, Alan?

752
00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:52.460
Money?

753
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:55.750
I said, money never entered my mind. I want everybody

754
00:42:55.769 --> 00:42:57.650
in the world to read it to open their mind

755
00:42:57.710 --> 00:42:59.969
to the awareness of who they are and they can

756
00:42:59.989 --> 00:43:02.849
be happy. And he said, that's a really good idea.

757
00:43:02.869 --> 00:43:05.289
I said, yeah, well, that's the real basic reason.

758
00:43:05.769 --> 00:43:09.400
Amen. Well, Alan, thank you so much. And folks, thanks

759
00:43:09.420 --> 00:43:12.440
for listening. I hope you've enjoyed this and I hope

760
00:43:12.460 --> 00:43:15.199
you'll get that book because I have the, I'm going

761
00:43:15.219 --> 00:43:17.539
to get it. And I have the idea that it's

762
00:43:17.559 --> 00:43:20.030
going to really make a difference in your life. So anyway,

763
00:43:20.050 --> 00:43:22.769
thanks for listening. Hope you join us again soon. This

764
00:43:22.789 --> 00:43:25.510
is Dr. Doug saying bye. Namaste.

765
00:43:25.809 --> 00:43:26.510
Namaste.

766
00:43:26.869 --> 00:43:29.980
Every conversation on this podcast eventually comes back to that

767
00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:33.420
same question, not how do I get more, but is

768
00:43:33.460 --> 00:43:37.260
this actually who I am? If something you heard today

769
00:43:37.420 --> 00:43:40.280
moved you just a little closer to an honest answer,

770
00:43:41.090 --> 00:43:45.329
that is enough. I'm Dr. Doug. This is Inspire Vision.

771
00:43:45.829 --> 00:43:46.650
Until next time.
