WEBVTT 00:00:03.790 --> 00:00:06.669 From the time that they pronounced me that was 00:00:06.669 --> 00:00:10.250 a good 45 minutes They cut my clothes and then 00:00:10.250 --> 00:00:13.609 they paddled my heart my heart stopped and I 00:00:13.609 --> 00:00:17.129 could see people screaming and crying But I didn't 00:00:17.129 --> 00:00:19.510 realize that was actually my physical body because 00:00:19.510 --> 00:00:22.890 I was somewhere else The only thing that I could 00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:26.809 feel if you can imagine Absolute love and peace 00:00:26.809 --> 00:00:29.829 there wasn't anything else to be felt. I was 00:00:29.829 --> 00:00:33.070 greeted by people I'd known in the past I'm back 00:00:33.070 --> 00:00:36.869 home again. Incredibly safe and felt at home. 00:00:38.990 --> 00:00:40.969 Welcome, welcome to Round Trip Death, everybody, 00:00:41.189 --> 00:00:43.630 and a warm welcome to our special guest today, 00:00:43.850 --> 00:00:46.729 Greg Halpern. How are you, Greg? I'm doing great. 00:00:46.850 --> 00:00:49.990 Thanks so much for asking. This is going to be 00:00:49.990 --> 00:00:53.890 so amazing today talking about 13 NDEs. Before 00:00:53.890 --> 00:00:56.869 we jump into it, one minute, we want to get to 00:00:56.869 --> 00:01:00.450 know Greg. Who are you? Well, I'm gonna be 68 00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:04.590 in June and I've been born and raised in the 00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:07.989 Chicago Midwest area and spent about two decades 00:01:07.989 --> 00:01:10.930 in San Diego was my dream But I returned back 00:01:10.930 --> 00:01:13.670 to my roots in Chicago where I was the little 00:01:13.670 --> 00:01:16.549 kid who got picked on story got into martial 00:01:16.549 --> 00:01:20.370 arts Kept struggling to be able to defend myself 00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:23.879 finally My mid teens, I became a national champion, 00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.180 and then in late teens, I became an international 00:01:27.180 --> 00:01:30.359 champion in judo and wanted to qualify for the 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.620 Olympics in 80, but that got called off. So I 00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:35.239 got involved in business. Business was of great 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.879 interest to me. In fact, I've become a serial 00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:41.540 entrepreneur, invented crowdfunding in 1998, 00:01:41.540 --> 00:01:44.439 and I've always been intrigued with how things 00:01:44.439 --> 00:01:49.439 work. As early as my second grade teacher's letter 00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:52.659 to my parents said that It actually sounded kind 00:01:52.659 --> 00:01:56.620 of like a referral for a CEO job. And so I was 00:01:56.620 --> 00:01:58.840 always very intrigued with how things work and 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.640 how to make things work in a manner that would 00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:04.640 make lives better, namely my life better first, 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.140 because one of the things that always bothered 00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:10.780 me about people trying to improve life, whether 00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:13.360 it be health, happiness, wealth, or purpose, 00:02:14.060 --> 00:02:16.319 that they didn't always walk the walk the walk 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.860 and talk the talk. They you know what say do 00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:21.560 this but they were doing something different 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:25.379 so i tried to perfect being good at living if 00:02:25.379 --> 00:02:28.620 you will and that's been my moniker ever since 00:02:28.620 --> 00:02:31.800 is trying to do things that uplift people uplift 00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.300 me uplift my family my friends my environment 00:02:34.300 --> 00:02:37.719 and then naturally if you become abundant you 00:02:37.719 --> 00:02:40.659 want to help those around you so that's become 00:02:40.659 --> 00:02:42.900 essentially i will call it philanthropy i'll 00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:45.800 just call it the goodwill of getting so much 00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.939 and receiving so many gifts that i could pass 00:02:48.939 --> 00:02:52.180 that back to the world in some meaningful way 00:02:52.180 --> 00:02:54.680 and that's pretty much why i think i've been 00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:57.639 put here and why i had these experiences kind 00:02:57.639 --> 00:03:00.900 of like your mission in life well i i just have 00:03:00.900 --> 00:03:03.199 to throw out the thing that i think is the elephant 00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.539 in the room and i hope you don't mind i don't 00:03:05.539 --> 00:03:09.400 mean to be offensive but 13 nd ease i mean come 00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:13.379 on well it's it's been my journey regardless 00:03:13.819 --> 00:03:16.280 I didn't plan that to be my journey. In fact, 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:18.419 when I was a little kid and I would get a near 00:03:18.419 --> 00:03:21.240 -death experience, I always thought I was going 00:03:21.240 --> 00:03:24.439 to get to check out. I didn't like the energy 00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:27.539 on earth. I didn't like the people were very 00:03:27.539 --> 00:03:29.400 disagreeable and argumentative, it seemed to 00:03:29.400 --> 00:03:33.139 me. And I didn't think I really belonged here. 00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.539 And that went on for a long time until finally, 00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:39.180 not only did I think I belonged here, I could 00:03:39.180 --> 00:03:41.780 see the purpose to all that. You know, sometimes 00:03:41.780 --> 00:03:45.379 people will say, Well, you know, Greg, can you 00:03:45.379 --> 00:03:47.240 tell me about your background? And I'll say, 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.460 well, that's, you know, kind of where to start. 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:52.759 I mean, I've been able to create and lead several 00:03:52.759 --> 00:03:56.199 industries where I have no training. So how would 00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:59.340 that happen? The purpose to me then became of 00:03:59.340 --> 00:04:01.699 my near -death experiences to receive these different 00:04:01.699 --> 00:04:07.400 gifts or essentially ways to live best for me 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:10.819 and that I could transfer that into successful. 00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:13.419 business ventures first and then successfully 00:04:13.419 --> 00:04:17.339 living a good life. Yeah I think we can all receive 00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:19.800 some kind of spiritual direction in our lives 00:04:19.800 --> 00:04:23.500 and yours seem to come through the near -death 00:04:23.500 --> 00:04:26.579 experiences. All right we're not going to be 00:04:26.579 --> 00:04:29.459 able to get to all 13 but there's a couple that 00:04:29.459 --> 00:04:33.500 stand out that are sort of unusually interesting 00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:36.100 or different or whatever you want to call it. 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:39.860 I want to start with number 12. We're talking 00:04:39.860 --> 00:04:42.379 about the chlorine here. Would you just give 00:04:42.379 --> 00:04:44.319 us some background and take us right through 00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:48.360 that story? Sure. So I was pretty sure by the 00:04:48.360 --> 00:04:51.259 time I had that experience, which was around 00:04:51.259 --> 00:04:55.139 2005, that I would not have a near -death experience, 00:04:55.199 --> 00:04:57.439 that I was done with having near -death experiences. 00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.019 I had nine before I was 20, and then I had two 00:05:01.019 --> 00:05:06.360 more in my 20s, and now this takes me to my 40s. 00:05:06.589 --> 00:05:10.129 And I'm living a great life and I'm living in 00:05:10.129 --> 00:05:13.529 Chicago and a suburb called Vernon Hills. I have 00:05:13.529 --> 00:05:15.949 probably the nicest house in Vernon Hills. I 00:05:15.949 --> 00:05:18.930 have a pool in my backyard and I was very obsessive 00:05:18.930 --> 00:05:22.269 about keeping it clean and keeping the floating 00:05:22.269 --> 00:05:26.769 device in the pool that chlorinated it and had 00:05:26.769 --> 00:05:29.149 the little machine that went around and cleaned 00:05:29.149 --> 00:05:32.430 the bottom of the pool with a vacuum. And it 00:05:32.430 --> 00:05:34.709 was a hot August morning, I'll never forget it. 00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:38.540 And I was in the backyard and I saw the chlorine 00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:41.199 canister floating in the pool with a little frog's 00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.759 head on top. I don't know if you've ever seen 00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:46.399 this, Eric, but I was putting it up here because 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:48.379 the top wouldn't come off. It was like the plastic 00:05:48.379 --> 00:05:51.500 had melted it on and it wasn't coming off no 00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:54.519 matter what I did. So I was wrestling and wrestling. 00:05:54.699 --> 00:05:57.040 And finally, after, I don't know, maybe two minutes, 00:05:57.139 --> 00:05:59.819 three minutes, it just tore off. What I didn't 00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:02.959 know was the chlorine tab. hadn't completely 00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.699 been used up in the water and it evaporated and 00:06:05.699 --> 00:06:08.040 mixed with the Chicago humidity, the hot August 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.300 humidity and turned to a gas, a chlorine gas. 00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:15.079 So when I pulled it off, I breathed it in and 00:06:15.079 --> 00:06:18.720 instantly I felt like somebody put a blowtorch 00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:23.379 right here in my esophagus. Now I marched straight 00:06:23.379 --> 00:06:28.100 up this long deck into my back of my house, to 00:06:28.100 --> 00:06:31.339 my kitchen. And my dogs were all barking and 00:06:31.339 --> 00:06:33.220 my wife came out over this balcony and she said, 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:35.300 can't you shut the dogs up? I'm trying to sleep. 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:37.639 And I said, well, I could try, but I said, I'm 00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:39.699 probably going to be dead in three minutes. Literally. 00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.939 That's what I said. And I knew right away what 00:06:42.939 --> 00:06:45.959 had happened, but I made an emergency trip where 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.480 she called nine one one. And it was a paramedic 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:52.170 driving a mile away down Butterfield road. And 00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:55.529 as he drove by, I guess he just made a turn and 00:06:55.529 --> 00:06:58.290 came right into the development to try to rescue 00:06:58.290 --> 00:07:01.430 me. But I went straight to this drawer where 00:07:01.430 --> 00:07:03.930 there was a bottle like this, and on there I 00:07:03.930 --> 00:07:07.300 had a mock -up label called Oral Saver. An oral 00:07:07.300 --> 00:07:09.420 saver was something I had developed. You know 00:07:09.420 --> 00:07:12.160 when you get like you bite your cheek or you 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.920 burn your mouth on a hot soup or pizza cheese 00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:17.079 or whatever or you know if you get hit in the 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.220 mouth and you bite your tongue or you get a cold 00:07:19.220 --> 00:07:21.660 sore. I was always obsessed that this has to 00:07:21.660 --> 00:07:23.980 be fixed and I was always inventing things. I 00:07:23.980 --> 00:07:26.819 had patents going back to the 80s in electronic 00:07:26.819 --> 00:07:30.139 anesthesia and all kinds of stuff. So I had spent 00:07:30.139 --> 00:07:34.029 about two months developing this solution. that 00:07:34.029 --> 00:07:36.290 you could put in your mouth if you had any of 00:07:36.290 --> 00:07:41.129 these oral ailments. And it had 13 separate homeopathic 00:07:41.129 --> 00:07:45.949 ingredients that were for anti -burn situations. 00:07:46.430 --> 00:07:49.569 It had chlorophyll. It had food -grade hydrogen 00:07:49.569 --> 00:07:53.189 peroxide. It had all kinds of neat things, astringents. 00:07:53.850 --> 00:07:57.209 And so I just subconsciously said, I got to have 00:07:57.209 --> 00:08:00.139 that. So I went to the drawer. Not knowing the 00:08:00.139 --> 00:08:02.079 profoundness of it. I took the bottle out and 00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:04.699 I drank about half the bottle and then I could 00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:06.500 drink anymore because my throat was closing up. 00:08:06.500 --> 00:08:09.860 I went upstairs. I sat down on this massage chair 00:08:09.860 --> 00:08:13.399 that we had and a minute later there was a paramedic 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.220 sticking a tube down my throat and taking me 00:08:15.220 --> 00:08:18.579 to the Condell Hospital. Then it gradually opened 00:08:18.579 --> 00:08:21.680 up and everything went back to somewhat normal, 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:24.180 but it felt like I'd been blowtorched. There 00:08:24.180 --> 00:08:26.939 was no real big deal there except that I was 00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:29.360 sure that this was it. I was gonna die because 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.560 my esophagus was going to burn up and it felt 00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:34.139 like that. But anyway, I finally, I said to the 00:08:34.139 --> 00:08:36.460 doctor who came and examined me, they said, well, 00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.519 you're in great shape. We've done this, you know, 00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:43.600 all these tests and EKG and echo and chest x 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:45.460 -rays and all this. And normally what happens 00:08:45.460 --> 00:08:47.480 is when somebody has this kind of severe injury, 00:08:47.679 --> 00:08:50.500 you get a collapsed lung and then you have a 00:08:50.500 --> 00:08:53.120 stroke and then you die. or you become brain 00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.860 dead. And so we'll watch you for a couple of 00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:57.659 days. And I said, no, I got to get to a meeting. 00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.440 She said, well, I won't sign you out and insurance 00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.980 won't pay if you don't promise me that you'll 00:09:02.980 --> 00:09:04.779 come right back from the side of the road. You'll 00:09:04.779 --> 00:09:07.159 call if there's any problem. So I did. And I 00:09:07.159 --> 00:09:10.500 left. Now that night I went home and fell asleep 00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:14.139 at my desk at home about 11 o 'clock at night. 00:09:14.139 --> 00:09:18.580 And then I woke up to this information. You know, 00:09:18.700 --> 00:09:23.549 you get an idea. Eric, you're hearing this would 00:09:23.549 --> 00:09:25.850 be a great little invention. So you start writing 00:09:25.850 --> 00:09:27.870 and I'm sure this has happened to a lot of the 00:09:27.870 --> 00:09:30.070 listeners. You don't want to forget this idea. 00:09:30.149 --> 00:09:32.389 So I'm writing the purpose of life is to create 00:09:32.389 --> 00:09:34.590 positive increase in all things good. So I was 00:09:34.590 --> 00:09:36.509 like, okay, great. You know, that sounds really 00:09:36.509 --> 00:09:40.309 good. And, but usually when people get what they 00:09:40.309 --> 00:09:44.549 want, like in love, They start to see its limitations 00:09:44.549 --> 00:09:46.830 after a period of time, whether it be days, weeks, 00:09:46.950 --> 00:09:49.070 months. It could be a relationship. It could 00:09:49.070 --> 00:09:52.090 be that new house. It could be, you know, a trip 00:09:52.090 --> 00:09:54.149 you're going to take something amazing. But after 00:09:54.149 --> 00:09:56.809 a period of time, they start to see its limitations 00:09:56.809 --> 00:10:01.289 rather than the positive desire and love wanting 00:10:01.289 --> 00:10:04.169 and things that they had for whatever that was. 00:10:04.309 --> 00:10:07.230 And then it starts to break down. That was just 00:10:07.230 --> 00:10:08.590 very profound. I'm writing, writing, writing. 00:10:08.649 --> 00:10:11.000 So now I'm at a page. And I'm like, well, this 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:12.600 isn't going to do because the information is 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.000 still coming. So I start typing and I'm typing 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.340 and typing and typing. And like an hour's passed 00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:20.100 and I've got principle one, principle two, principle 00:10:20.100 --> 00:10:23.379 three. And so I keep doing this. And with the 00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:25.419 exception of nodding off a few times and waking 00:10:25.419 --> 00:10:28.860 up drooling on myself and having a couple of 00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:31.639 snacks, you know, going to the bathroom so often, 00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:37.419 I had this giant library of information and I'd 00:10:37.419 --> 00:10:39.379 always thought I lived well. And I always thought 00:10:39.379 --> 00:10:41.240 I had great information and I always thought 00:10:41.240 --> 00:10:44.039 it came in from the ether as a result of these 00:10:44.039 --> 00:10:46.259 experiences. But this time it was different because 00:10:46.259 --> 00:10:49.480 now I had this gigantic library of things that 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:52.340 you could literally follow it. And that became 00:10:52.340 --> 00:10:56.220 this giant inventory of information that apparently 00:10:56.220 --> 00:11:00.480 from what I learned in my 13th near -death experience, 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.580 I was to be conditioned over the course of years 00:11:03.580 --> 00:11:05.340 and receive all these near -death experiences 00:11:05.340 --> 00:11:10.429 to essentially take out of my way out of my mind, 00:11:10.549 --> 00:11:12.750 you know, all the elements that are going on 00:11:12.750 --> 00:11:15.850 on Earth on a typical day and clear the path, 00:11:15.850 --> 00:11:18.110 if you will, to receive this information to where 00:11:18.110 --> 00:11:21.529 I can just receive it exactly as it was designed 00:11:21.529 --> 00:11:24.549 to do. And if somebody believes, as I do, in 00:11:24.549 --> 00:11:27.129 a spiritual force, you know, a supreme being, 00:11:27.129 --> 00:11:29.509 I call it God, but, you know, people might have 00:11:29.509 --> 00:11:31.830 all different views. And I wouldn't call myself 00:11:31.830 --> 00:11:34.190 religious more than I would call myself spiritual. 00:11:34.889 --> 00:11:38.940 But you believe that that good things are supposed 00:11:38.940 --> 00:11:40.860 to come to you and it comes through this supreme 00:11:40.860 --> 00:11:44.179 power, this universal consciousness or collective 00:11:44.179 --> 00:11:46.220 consciousness, you know, we're all one mind. 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:48.779 And I was receiving all this great information 00:11:48.779 --> 00:11:51.480 and then I had to know what to do with it. Of 00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.340 course, it took until years later and took till 00:11:54.340 --> 00:11:59.460 2016 and then 2020 and now to have three different 00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:02.440 iterations of the same material that's been epically 00:12:02.440 --> 00:12:05.659 transforming people all around the world for 00:12:05.929 --> 00:12:07.950 for a long time it's very gratifying but anyway 00:12:07.950 --> 00:12:11.289 that's a summary of this unique experience that 00:12:11.289 --> 00:12:15.450 i had very cool and yeah i would call it unique 00:12:15.450 --> 00:12:20.590 a lot of regular nds they have some time where 00:12:20.590 --> 00:12:23.470 the person feels like they left their body and 00:12:23.470 --> 00:12:25.929 either looked down on themselves or went someplace 00:12:25.929 --> 00:12:28.610 else there's tunnels sometimes there's not some 00:12:28.610 --> 00:12:32.009 other times in any of your experiences did you 00:12:32.009 --> 00:12:35.450 have something like that happen Well, my experience 00:12:35.450 --> 00:12:39.049 was always, it seems now and looking back at 00:12:39.049 --> 00:12:41.429 it at the time didn't seem so, but at five from 00:12:41.429 --> 00:12:46.850 five years old on very controlled into a space 00:12:46.850 --> 00:12:49.269 of light. I can't even call it a room. I couldn't 00:12:49.269 --> 00:12:51.429 say there were boundaries, just being stuck in 00:12:51.429 --> 00:12:53.889 a space of light with a voice saying, you got 00:12:53.889 --> 00:12:57.970 to go back. There's things to do. You know, you're 00:12:57.970 --> 00:13:01.129 on the right path, but you have to do this and 00:13:01.129 --> 00:13:03.509 you have to do that. And so this was always. 00:13:05.829 --> 00:13:08.309 I thought I was going to get to check out then 00:13:08.309 --> 00:13:10.149 later when I learned to fight and beat up a lot 00:13:10.149 --> 00:13:13.490 of bullies and things and became a world -level 00:13:13.490 --> 00:13:16.690 champion. I thought that was my purpose. And 00:13:16.690 --> 00:13:18.470 then later when I got into business and created 00:13:18.470 --> 00:13:20.309 crowdfunding and did all these things that don't 00:13:20.309 --> 00:13:22.909 seem to go with no training. He has no training, 00:13:23.289 --> 00:13:26.360 but he's a speaker at the Academy of General 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:29.080 Dentistry, the only non -degraded speaker, speaking 00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.240 about his invention, electronic anesthesia, and 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.679 getting dentists for four hours where they get 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.620 Master's fellowship credit for attending his 00:13:37.620 --> 00:13:40.399 seminar. I mean, these things don't, they're 00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:43.120 not logical. If somebody says, well, yeah, but 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.399 13, it sounds ridiculous. Or, you know, tell 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:48.340 me about your life. I guess I can only say after 00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:50.519 13 near -death experiences and all the gifts 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.649 that I've received, Eric, as a result. I can 00:13:53.649 --> 00:13:56.710 only say that it's, you know, I sort of recognize 00:13:56.710 --> 00:13:59.250 an absurdity to my own existence, if you will. 00:13:59.909 --> 00:14:02.149 Yeah. Tell me a little bit about this bright 00:14:02.149 --> 00:14:05.549 place that you tend to go to. You said it has 00:14:05.549 --> 00:14:08.370 no boundaries, so it's not like a room. What 00:14:08.370 --> 00:14:13.370 is it like? Well, it's like a giant space of 00:14:13.370 --> 00:14:15.990 like, like, let's say the sun was ultra bright 00:14:15.990 --> 00:14:19.960 and it lit up the space with warm light. You're 00:14:19.960 --> 00:14:22.240 just in the space. You're aware that you're in 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.539 the space. You don't see yourself. I didn't see 00:14:24.539 --> 00:14:28.500 myself Anyway, some people say they see themselves 00:14:28.500 --> 00:14:32.299 in this kind of transition to an afterlife I 00:14:32.299 --> 00:14:34.500 never really felt it was a transition. I felt 00:14:34.500 --> 00:14:36.720 for a long time for the first several near -death 00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:39.379 experiences i thought i was getting to check 00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:43.039 out which was my kind of my goal then later i 00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:44.740 thought well you know maybe there's a lot more 00:14:44.740 --> 00:14:46.879 to this that i'm supposed to be doing because 00:14:46.879 --> 00:14:48.879 i keep getting told to go back there's work to 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:51.440 do i'm not being told what the work is but then 00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:53.620 i'm kind of being shown it and i'm receiving 00:14:53.620 --> 00:14:55.860 information that tells me exactly what to do 00:14:55.860 --> 00:14:58.879 so i feel like i became a vessel i mean that's 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:00.799 kind of a corny word but you know i'll use that 00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:04.200 word a vessel to receive this information because 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.700 when you look back on it uh I've had a lot of 00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:09.980 what I'll call thought leaders or people involved 00:15:09.980 --> 00:15:14.179 in the mind fields or mindfulness fields, I guess 00:15:14.179 --> 00:15:17.580 they call it now. And I was mentored by some 00:15:17.580 --> 00:15:20.620 of these Zig Ziggler or Nightingale W. Comet 00:15:20.620 --> 00:15:23.679 Stone. They always said you are what you think 00:15:23.679 --> 00:15:25.419 about you become your thoughts and thoughts are 00:15:25.419 --> 00:15:28.500 things, but I always felt it in the heart. So 00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:31.100 when i'm in the space i feel something changing 00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:34.440 in the heart i feel instant manifestation and 00:15:34.440 --> 00:15:36.879 i'm receiving this so people over the years that 00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:39.139 have sort of reviewed my background of said. 00:15:39.779 --> 00:15:41.539 You know do you ever feel like you're getting 00:15:41.539 --> 00:15:44.460 your information from the ether from the universe 00:15:44.460 --> 00:15:47.299 or just coming into you nice about the only way 00:15:47.299 --> 00:15:49.299 i feel like i've ever received any information 00:15:49.299 --> 00:15:52.080 at all and this is cause me some frustration 00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:55.419 in that when i've. Early on would see people 00:15:55.419 --> 00:15:58.429 doing something i would say. Have you thought 00:15:58.429 --> 00:16:00.669 of doing it like this or something? And thinking 00:16:00.669 --> 00:16:03.070 to myself, isn't it obvious? You could do so 00:16:03.070 --> 00:16:05.049 much better if you were just doing this and this, 00:16:05.309 --> 00:16:07.169 but you couldn't really say that because people 00:16:07.169 --> 00:16:09.970 are like, well, how do you know? I guess I could 00:16:09.970 --> 00:16:12.409 just look at it and see clearly. So that's what 00:16:12.409 --> 00:16:14.950 I think these transmissions were about to me 00:16:14.950 --> 00:16:18.230 because later I don't say I look forward to it, 00:16:18.230 --> 00:16:20.690 but I look forward to kind of proving that I 00:16:20.690 --> 00:16:22.970 would just die and then I wouldn't die anyway. 00:16:23.110 --> 00:16:26.110 So until... Now, you have to fast forward to 00:16:26.110 --> 00:16:27.850 that 12th near -death experience because I think 00:16:27.850 --> 00:16:32.870 it's very significant that I wasn't actually 00:16:32.870 --> 00:16:36.049 going to, in my mind, have any more near -death 00:16:36.049 --> 00:16:40.549 experiences when the 12th came. It was more than 00:16:40.549 --> 00:16:43.090 15 years after my last near -death experience. 00:16:43.409 --> 00:16:45.850 So I just thought I was done with that and then 00:16:45.850 --> 00:16:48.210 I find out that I'm going to get all this information 00:16:48.210 --> 00:16:50.950 and that's the whole point of that. Now, I always 00:16:50.950 --> 00:16:54.529 had that light. except on my twelfth and my thirteenth. 00:16:55.110 --> 00:16:57.250 And on the thirteenth I just had darkness sort 00:16:57.250 --> 00:16:59.190 of end of the world gloom and doom because I 00:16:59.190 --> 00:17:02.830 was I had a ruptured appendix I don't know should 00:17:02.830 --> 00:17:04.849 I tell you something about that what happened 00:17:04.849 --> 00:17:07.950 on my thirteenth. Well yeah and tell us about 00:17:07.950 --> 00:17:11.210 the doom and gloom that you experienced. Well 00:17:11.210 --> 00:17:13.230 that was different than all the others and I 00:17:13.230 --> 00:17:16.250 guess that was my proverbial kick in the pants 00:17:16.250 --> 00:17:18.869 from the source You know from the source of where 00:17:18.869 --> 00:17:20.829 I'm getting this information and I can't tell 00:17:20.829 --> 00:17:25.690 you this is God or God's helpers or angels or 00:17:25.690 --> 00:17:28.869 you know people sent to tell me stuff what I 00:17:28.869 --> 00:17:31.789 can tell you is that After I receive all that 00:17:31.789 --> 00:17:33.910 information. I think okay now what I'm supposed 00:17:33.910 --> 00:17:37.369 to do with it now fast forward I've written a 00:17:37.369 --> 00:17:40.789 book called a message from the source I put it 00:17:40.789 --> 00:17:42.569 out under a different title. I won't say much 00:17:42.569 --> 00:17:44.450 about that now because I'm going to re -release 00:17:44.450 --> 00:17:48.990 it. But it was the core information put into 00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:51.589 about a hundred page book that taught people 00:17:51.589 --> 00:17:55.490 seven blessings of meditation to receive essentially 00:17:55.490 --> 00:17:59.710 clarity, health, happiness, purpose, awareness, 00:18:01.029 --> 00:18:04.750 and abundance. I put it out there, but I think 00:18:04.750 --> 00:18:08.230 in 2009, I was being Rolfed. If you don't know 00:18:08.230 --> 00:18:11.190 what Rolfing is for the audience, it's deep tissue 00:18:11.190 --> 00:18:14.289 work. And most people after one Rolfing session 00:18:14.289 --> 00:18:16.930 cry and leave and they don't ever go back because 00:18:16.930 --> 00:18:20.309 they, Rolfers, which named after Ida Rolf, the 00:18:20.309 --> 00:18:24.509 inventor, this physicist in the 1920s, has a 00:18:24.509 --> 00:18:26.829 whole global institution I'll call the Rolfing 00:18:26.829 --> 00:18:29.569 Institute. And they are trained to dig deep into 00:18:29.569 --> 00:18:32.670 the body with their hands and stretch the muscle 00:18:32.670 --> 00:18:35.680 from the fascia and the bone. And it's very painful 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:38.559 for somebody that just goes to get, maybe they 00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:40.940 think they're getting a massage. And it's designed 00:18:40.940 --> 00:18:45.559 to elongate the spine and take away the injuries 00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:48.680 from compression and just getting older. This 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:52.839 Rolfer was doing my 189th Rolfing session. And 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:54.559 I used to sleep through Rolfing, which you don't 00:18:54.559 --> 00:18:56.400 do because people can't sleep because it's too, 00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:58.259 but I would give into the process and it would 00:18:58.259 --> 00:19:01.099 help me deal with well over a hundred severe 00:19:01.099 --> 00:19:03.680 injuries I've had from being a fighting martial 00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:07.049 artist. And what I didn't know was on the 10th, 00:19:07.069 --> 00:19:10.589 this was her 10th session for me, or my 189th 00:19:10.589 --> 00:19:12.809 time I've been Ralphed, and she was doing the, 00:19:12.809 --> 00:19:14.829 they do the middle of the body in that session. 00:19:15.390 --> 00:19:17.829 And since I was sleeping, she always lamented 00:19:17.829 --> 00:19:20.549 that I didn't give feedback as I was sleeping, 00:19:20.569 --> 00:19:22.890 and that's not normal during Ralphing, and sleeping 00:19:22.890 --> 00:19:26.309 is not normal. But she manually ruptured my appendix. 00:19:26.490 --> 00:19:29.049 Now it's 2009, and I was at home with it for 00:19:29.049 --> 00:19:32.069 three days. I thought it was food poisoning. 00:19:32.550 --> 00:19:35.349 By the time I went to the hospital, I said, you're 00:19:35.349 --> 00:19:37.670 gonna have to catheter me because I haven't been 00:19:37.670 --> 00:19:39.549 able to pee for six hours. So in the middle of 00:19:39.549 --> 00:19:41.150 the emergency room on a Friday night with my 00:19:41.150 --> 00:19:42.990 family standing around, they just cathetered 00:19:42.990 --> 00:19:45.210 me and I peed two gallons. And they said, now 00:19:45.210 --> 00:19:46.990 you need to take out my appendix. And they said. 00:19:47.130 --> 00:19:48.970 Why do you say that?" I said, "'Cause Rolfer 00:19:48.970 --> 00:19:50.349 was Rolfering me. You probably don't know what 00:19:50.349 --> 00:19:52.589 that is." And she manually ruptured my appendix. 00:19:52.609 --> 00:19:53.869 And I'd been sitting at home with it thinking 00:19:53.869 --> 00:19:56.029 it was food poisoning. I only came to the hospital 00:19:56.029 --> 00:19:57.750 because I couldn't be for six hours, but now 00:19:57.750 --> 00:19:59.869 I can tell you it's my appendix. And they said, 00:19:59.890 --> 00:20:01.829 we don't think so because you couldn't talk right 00:20:01.829 --> 00:20:04.549 now if it was your appendix ruptured three days 00:20:04.549 --> 00:20:07.109 ago. And I said, well, I have a very high pain 00:20:07.109 --> 00:20:09.670 threshold. But that's a different story for another 00:20:09.670 --> 00:20:12.279 time. They came back with the iron test and said, 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:14.319 okay, it is ruptured, but we think it's a minor 00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:16.319 clean out. That half hour clean out that they 00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.740 projected was a six hour clean out of full blown 00:20:18.740 --> 00:20:21.619 peritonitis. And on the third day of recovery, 00:20:21.880 --> 00:20:23.980 they medicated me and I flatlined. They over 00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:27.119 medicated me basically. And I had a premonition 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:30.059 they were going to and they did. And then I flatlined 00:20:30.059 --> 00:20:32.579 and then in that space, I basically saw the end 00:20:32.579 --> 00:20:37.809 of the world in 2023. This was 2009. And I see 00:20:37.809 --> 00:20:40.089 this end of the world and it basically I get 00:20:40.089 --> 00:20:42.230 a message, you know at that time It's either 00:20:42.230 --> 00:20:44.710 gonna be the end of all things as you know it 00:20:44.710 --> 00:20:47.490 or a new beginning that's gonna be grand to the 00:20:47.490 --> 00:20:49.789 world you've been given this information to do 00:20:49.789 --> 00:20:51.769 a lot more with it and you're just sitting on 00:20:51.769 --> 00:20:54.849 your Your backside waiting for something to happen. 00:20:54.950 --> 00:20:56.109 You're gonna have to get out there now and make 00:20:56.109 --> 00:21:00.089 this happen. So that was 2009 after that I was 00:21:00.299 --> 00:21:03.640 told in dreams and so forth that i'll not have 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.839 anymore near death experiences this time to just 00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:07.799 take this information and make sure i get the 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:12.579 masses so that became source living. Add a test 00:21:12.579 --> 00:21:16.240 market app that was on apple and android for 00:21:16.240 --> 00:21:18.839 about a year. Put all my own money into it put 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:22.279 it out there and it was there was over a hundred 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:25.259 thousand sign ups in three months and i couldn't 00:21:25.259 --> 00:21:27.119 maintain it because you need a whole team you 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.289 need to be like. prepared to be like a Silicon 00:21:29.289 --> 00:21:31.930 Valley company and I wasn't, that was a one -man 00:21:31.930 --> 00:21:35.710 show with a hired team. So I brought it out as 00:21:35.710 --> 00:21:37.849 Source Living and it was, people were epically 00:21:37.849 --> 00:21:40.509 transforming for just watching and listening 00:21:40.509 --> 00:21:44.869 to these videos. That 3000 principles from 12 00:21:44.869 --> 00:21:49.009 near -death experience turned into this app, 00:21:49.230 --> 00:21:51.369 which turned into 300 principles because even 00:21:51.369 --> 00:21:54.250 that wasn't manageable. And I couldn't manage 00:21:54.250 --> 00:21:57.029 the app company, although it was doing very well. 00:21:57.190 --> 00:22:01.170 I closed it in 2018. In 2019, I reopened it as 00:22:01.170 --> 00:22:04.250 Formula 4 protocol. That had the same level of 00:22:04.250 --> 00:22:06.970 success, but it had scaled down to only 100 principles 00:22:06.970 --> 00:22:10.769 of this core information that I was living off 00:22:10.769 --> 00:22:14.109 of. And I say living off it, the thing that always 00:22:14.109 --> 00:22:17.930 distresses me about people giving ideas, information, 00:22:18.190 --> 00:22:20.990 advice, input on self -help, self -improvement, 00:22:21.130 --> 00:22:23.569 mindfulness, near -death experiences, whatever, 00:22:23.809 --> 00:22:28.750 was that they couldn't walk the same talk. And 00:22:28.750 --> 00:22:31.289 that really bothered me. But I was applying all 00:22:31.289 --> 00:22:33.170 these principles, and my life was exponentially 00:22:33.170 --> 00:22:35.049 moving upward. And everybody that was getting 00:22:35.049 --> 00:22:37.829 it was having these epic transformations. And 00:22:37.829 --> 00:22:39.809 they could make videos and talk about it. And 00:22:39.809 --> 00:22:42.930 those videos are now... on the internet so that's 00:22:42.930 --> 00:22:45.390 something of great gratification but it's also 00:22:45.390 --> 00:22:48.769 reinforcement of me having to accelerate my purposes 00:22:48.769 --> 00:22:51.910 which is why i'm now doing this circuit of great 00:22:51.910 --> 00:22:55.650 shows like yourself. Okay i want to hear more 00:22:55.650 --> 00:22:57.950 about your childhood indies but i had just one 00:22:57.950 --> 00:23:01.450 quick question first what happened when in twenty 00:23:01.450 --> 00:23:04.549 twenty three the earth didn't end or the world 00:23:04.549 --> 00:23:08.589 didn't end like you had the premonition of. Well, 00:23:08.710 --> 00:23:10.849 the premonition wasn't that the world would end 00:23:10.849 --> 00:23:13.849 the premonition was actually a full blown I've 00:23:13.849 --> 00:23:17.450 actually Drawn out what it looked like the the 00:23:17.450 --> 00:23:20.769 world Basically a lot of destruction in the world. 00:23:20.869 --> 00:23:23.549 It said it's clear It says you and people like 00:23:23.549 --> 00:23:26.309 you with information like this we'll have to 00:23:26.309 --> 00:23:29.990 go out and do this work now because at 2023 will 00:23:29.990 --> 00:23:33.720 be this inflection where it will be the end of 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:35.920 all things as we know it or the beginning of 00:23:35.920 --> 00:23:39.839 a great new world, which I think we hit in 2023. 00:23:40.579 --> 00:23:42.980 And it just, if you look at the transitions of 00:23:42.980 --> 00:23:44.039 things that are happening now, there's a lot 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:46.119 of battling going on, but there's also a lot 00:23:46.119 --> 00:23:48.779 of great things happening as well. And I think 00:23:48.779 --> 00:23:51.680 that's going to result in. just a better world. 00:23:52.119 --> 00:23:55.640 So I wasn't given the responsibility of preventing 00:23:55.640 --> 00:23:58.079 the world from destroying itself. Those wheels 00:23:58.079 --> 00:24:00.160 have been set in motion by much more powerful 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.940 forces than, you know, lowly Greg Halpern. Well, 00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:05.940 and you had said that it was going to be one 00:24:05.940 --> 00:24:09.640 or the other, the end or this new beginning. 00:24:10.029 --> 00:24:12.450 I hadn't personally seen the new beginning, so 00:24:12.450 --> 00:24:15.269 I assumed the other, but you have. And that's 00:24:15.269 --> 00:24:18.029 super interesting. And I love that positive outlook 00:24:18.029 --> 00:24:20.710 because it seems like there's so much bad news 00:24:20.710 --> 00:24:24.549 out there today. So the fact that we are headed 00:24:24.549 --> 00:24:29.670 in a newer, maybe more right direction, that's 00:24:29.670 --> 00:24:31.670 great news. I don't want to stick there, though. 00:24:31.930 --> 00:24:34.529 I want to go back to your first NDE when you 00:24:34.529 --> 00:24:36.490 were five years old. Tell us a little bit about 00:24:36.490 --> 00:24:41.750 that. I was the beneficiary of a tonsillectomy. 00:24:41.869 --> 00:24:44.269 At that time, you go to the doctor with a sore 00:24:44.269 --> 00:24:46.210 throat for more than three or four times. They 00:24:46.210 --> 00:24:49.309 say time to get those tonsils out and the adenoids 00:24:49.309 --> 00:24:51.069 too. I guess I don't know if that's the same 00:24:51.069 --> 00:24:53.990 thing or part of the same assembly. Anyway, I 00:24:53.990 --> 00:24:58.230 got the tonsils out and the second night at home 00:24:58.230 --> 00:25:02.890 at midnight, I remember my mom would start shaking 00:25:02.890 --> 00:25:05.490 me and I remember really well. I mean, the thing 00:25:05.490 --> 00:25:08.589 about my whole life is very profound. I have 00:25:08.589 --> 00:25:11.619 this Some people call this a photographic memory. 00:25:11.640 --> 00:25:13.859 I just call it a permanent memory of all the 00:25:13.859 --> 00:25:16.220 things that I experienced in my life. Well, I 00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:19.140 remember my mom shaking me like this by my upper 00:25:19.140 --> 00:25:22.859 body, Greg, Greg, get up. And I was thinking, 00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:24.880 no, no, I don't want to get up. This is going 00:25:24.880 --> 00:25:27.480 to work. And what she was referring to is she 00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:30.140 came on to check me for a second time that night 00:25:30.140 --> 00:25:33.519 before she went to bed and my whole pillow was 00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:37.319 red and blood was coming out. So it was just 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.220 rolling out and She started screaming for my 00:25:41.220 --> 00:25:44.220 father and then a heartbeat. I'm in his car eight 00:25:44.220 --> 00:25:47.259 minutes to the hospital by a normal ride to the 00:25:47.259 --> 00:25:48.839 Highland Park hospital, but he probably got there 00:25:48.839 --> 00:25:53.420 in four. I had a bowl on my lap and I was just 00:25:53.420 --> 00:25:56.299 like this and the blood was just coming out. 00:25:56.740 --> 00:26:00.339 And I had about maybe three cups. They said three 00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:02.799 cups of blood. And it was going like waves back 00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:04.380 and forth. Cause you know, we just sat in the 00:26:04.380 --> 00:26:06.730 seat. We didn't have belts or anything. So we 00:26:06.730 --> 00:26:08.730 get to the hospital now we're talking about this 00:26:08.730 --> 00:26:12.769 is 1963 and The doctor meets us at the emergency 00:26:12.769 --> 00:26:16.789 exit and he rushes me in from a chair to a gurney 00:26:16.789 --> 00:26:19.809 into an operating room Sticks me on the gurney 00:26:19.809 --> 00:26:22.589 and wraps me up like a mummy with this sheet 00:26:22.589 --> 00:26:24.809 on a roll never seen anything like it before 00:26:24.809 --> 00:26:27.950 or since a sheet on a roll he goes like this 00:26:27.950 --> 00:26:30.230 and I'm like this and all the sticking out of 00:26:30.230 --> 00:26:33.789 my head He takes now keep in mind all I can smell 00:26:33.789 --> 00:26:37.579 is iron from blood He takes what looks like a 00:26:37.579 --> 00:26:39.220 paint roller's pen, sticks it right next to my 00:26:39.220 --> 00:26:42.240 head, dumps a giant bottle of iodine solution 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:45.119 in it, empties the whole bottle, then takes a 00:26:45.119 --> 00:26:47.180 sponge that I can only describe as a loofah, 00:26:47.180 --> 00:26:49.460 puts it in there, then takes the tongs like you 00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:51.599 flip a burger on a grill and he's playing with 00:26:51.599 --> 00:26:53.720 it, getting it nice and soaked up. Then he tells 00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:55.720 my dad it looks like he's about to pass out because 00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:58.319 my dad did not like the sight of blood. And I 00:26:58.319 --> 00:26:59.700 was like, if you guys will just leave me alone, 00:26:59.700 --> 00:27:01.880 this is going to work, I can check out now, you 00:27:01.880 --> 00:27:04.299 know? And that's what I was thinking of myself. 00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:07.079 But by this time I was so far past it, you know, 00:27:07.140 --> 00:27:09.859 just the smells were making me nauseous. He takes 00:27:09.859 --> 00:27:12.559 the sponge and he tells my dad, hold his mouth 00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:15.039 open and don't let him move. So he sticks this 00:27:15.039 --> 00:27:16.519 giant sponge down my throat and he says, you 00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:18.680 can count sheep if you want. So I started counting. 00:27:18.799 --> 00:27:21.920 I remember getting to 14 in my head at least. 00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:27.420 And that was it. I went to completely fade out, 00:27:27.420 --> 00:27:30.319 you know, like in a movie fade to black. And 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.759 then there's this light. and it's this room of 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:36.700 light or the space of light. I could call it 00:27:36.700 --> 00:27:38.680 a room, but there was no boundaries on it. So 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:41.599 I'm just sitting there and I'm aware that I'm 00:27:41.599 --> 00:27:44.700 in the light. And I get a voice talking to me, 00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.779 you know, a low voice, my imaginary vision of 00:27:48.779 --> 00:27:52.039 God maybe. And the voice says, you got to go 00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:55.460 back and don't be coming around here anymore 00:27:55.460 --> 00:27:59.579 because there's work to do. And he's like, work? 00:27:59.900 --> 00:28:03.549 What work? And I wake up and it's two days later 00:28:03.549 --> 00:28:05.829 and I'm in my bed and there's a stack of cards 00:28:05.829 --> 00:28:08.690 from my kindergarten classmates, apparently wishing 00:28:08.690 --> 00:28:12.349 me to get well, but I still have. And my mom 00:28:12.349 --> 00:28:14.349 is waiting there, apparently been waiting for 00:28:14.349 --> 00:28:17.089 hours for me to wake up. And she said, do you 00:28:17.089 --> 00:28:19.930 want jello or ice cream? And that was so funny 00:28:19.930 --> 00:28:24.410 to me. I just started laughing. And I couldn't 00:28:24.410 --> 00:28:28.140 laugh too loud because it hurt my throat. I just 00:28:28.140 --> 00:28:29.599 thought that was so funny, and what I didn't 00:28:29.599 --> 00:28:31.759 realize was I had just received this gift of 00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:35.279 a sense of humor. It was so extreme that everything 00:28:35.279 --> 00:28:37.299 that people would say, I would find humor in 00:28:37.299 --> 00:28:40.559 it, even no matter how dark it was or negative 00:28:40.559 --> 00:28:43.859 or positive. It didn't matter. Going a week forward 00:28:43.859 --> 00:28:46.180 after that, when I went back to school finally, 00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:52.279 if I had any friends around, I'd just break into 00:28:52.279 --> 00:28:55.890 faces. until they were in hysterics. I was like 00:28:55.890 --> 00:28:58.009 Jim Carrey, you know, like imagine Jim Carrey 00:28:58.009 --> 00:29:00.789 as a child making faces. So I was like that and 00:29:00.789 --> 00:29:03.650 I would just go on and on and on and once I got 00:29:03.650 --> 00:29:07.569 people into the laugh, I would just keep going, 00:29:07.910 --> 00:29:09.970 you know, and this would go on forever. And I 00:29:09.970 --> 00:29:12.720 became this, like he's the funniest kid. There's 00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:14.640 no reason why he's the funniest kid, he's just 00:29:14.640 --> 00:29:16.799 funny. Just watch him, listen to him. And I'd 00:29:16.799 --> 00:29:19.119 become clever and I would say funny things and 00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:21.240 I would twist words around and make new languages 00:29:21.240 --> 00:29:24.099 and people would, you know, find this amusing. 00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:26.480 So I thought, well, this is this huge gift. I 00:29:26.480 --> 00:29:28.900 wanted to check out and now I'm just immersed 00:29:28.900 --> 00:29:31.640 in comedy. I'm funny. And everybody thinks I'm 00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:33.599 funny. And it makes me feel good to laugh and 00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:35.599 it makes me feel good to make them laugh. That 00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:38.579 was what the first near -death experience that 00:29:38.579 --> 00:29:41.059 I went through was all about. How strange that 00:29:41.059 --> 00:29:43.819 that voice in addition to telling you to go back 00:29:43.819 --> 00:29:46.700 said, don't come back here again. I mean, that 00:29:46.700 --> 00:29:48.920 seems kind of funny right there, especially since 00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:52.220 you did go back a number of times after you disobedient 00:29:52.220 --> 00:29:56.339 little boy. Yeah. Well, that's so true. And I 00:29:56.339 --> 00:29:58.640 got to thinking that, you know, what is that 00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:01.240 all about? Really? You know, if I keep coming 00:30:01.240 --> 00:30:03.519 back, as you say, don't come back. Well, that 00:30:03.519 --> 00:30:05.980 wore out after a while. It changed to you're 00:30:05.980 --> 00:30:09.519 doing better. Stay on track. Do more of this. 00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:12.420 It's working, even though you don't see it now. 00:30:12.680 --> 00:30:15.579 Like, okay, good. You know, and I really, I didn't 00:30:15.579 --> 00:30:17.839 see myself making it past 20. And then when I 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:20.579 got to 20, I had my nightmare death experience. 00:30:20.599 --> 00:30:22.579 I was tackled on a flight of stairs from behind 00:30:22.579 --> 00:30:25.140 and I woke up in the hospital three days later 00:30:25.140 --> 00:30:27.839 from a coma with all the discs in my low back 00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:29.819 disintegrating over the next two years and a 00:30:29.819 --> 00:30:32.160 myriad of health problems that would make just 00:30:32.160 --> 00:30:34.480 about anybody that I've ever met pray to die 00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:38.079 pretty quick. So at that point, I just gave into 00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:40.529 it. I said well there's got to be a reason for 00:30:40.529 --> 00:30:42.990 this because nobody would go through this if 00:30:42.990 --> 00:30:45.710 there wasn't there better be a reason you know 00:30:45.710 --> 00:30:49.109 that's all I'm saying well there always is these 00:30:49.109 --> 00:30:51.869 experiences aren't for entertainment value there's 00:30:51.869 --> 00:30:54.829 always a reason I believe and always something 00:30:54.829 --> 00:30:57.730 to learn from them uh let's hear about your one 00:30:57.730 --> 00:31:01.430 at seven years old well this is of course now 00:31:01.430 --> 00:31:06.819 we're at 1965 so I'm uh really living it up. 00:31:06.920 --> 00:31:09.779 I'm in the back of my grandparents' new Sedan 00:31:09.779 --> 00:31:13.140 de Vil Cadillac and this is just a great thing. 00:31:13.299 --> 00:31:14.880 But you know we're jumping around in the backseat, 00:31:15.019 --> 00:31:16.960 me and my sister, because Rolling Stones can't 00:31:16.960 --> 00:31:19.900 get no satisfactions playing. And I think the 00:31:19.900 --> 00:31:22.400 single just came out and it was sound great. 00:31:22.519 --> 00:31:25.299 My grandfather would always play the good popular 00:31:25.299 --> 00:31:27.640 tunes. He got a kick out of them, especially 00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:29.819 the Beatles' Hello Goodbye. He liked to sing 00:31:29.819 --> 00:31:33.119 along with it because it sounds ridiculous. All 00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:36.559 of a sudden, they were going 75. I'm looking 00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:38.960 at the speedometer from the back seat, because 00:31:38.960 --> 00:31:41.779 I'm in the middle between the two seats. And 00:31:41.779 --> 00:31:43.599 then I'm sitting back, and then I'm jumping up, 00:31:43.599 --> 00:31:45.960 and then I'm doing the music. And I'm playing 00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:48.380 with my lap belt. The lap belt was an option. 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:50.720 We call it a seat belt, but it was called an 00:31:50.720 --> 00:31:54.039 optional lap belt on that car. And I'm clicking 00:31:54.039 --> 00:31:57.339 it on, off, on, off. And then I believe it was 00:31:57.339 --> 00:32:02.680 right after I clicked it on the car. turned into 00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:05.039 the silver guard rail. It was very heavy traffic. 00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:08.279 We were driving to a pool party in the July summer 00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:12.460 of 65, and we drive into that little silver metal 00:32:12.460 --> 00:32:14.920 guard rail that was in the center, and the car 00:32:14.920 --> 00:32:19.019 goes up and over it, flips upside down, and lands 00:32:19.019 --> 00:32:21.319 upside down on the other side with the roof caving 00:32:21.319 --> 00:32:24.700 in, and the car being hit going round and round 00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:27.519 and round, being hit by six cars going 75 in 00:32:27.519 --> 00:32:30.049 the other direction. Well, what we didn't know 00:32:30.049 --> 00:32:32.789 was that a 14 year old girl, you know This comes 00:32:32.789 --> 00:32:35.210 under the category of you can't make this up, 00:32:35.210 --> 00:32:39.650 you know, a 14 year old girl had waited For her 00:32:39.650 --> 00:32:41.190 parents to go out of town and her babysitter 00:32:41.190 --> 00:32:44.670 to fall asleep from will met, Illinois To get 00:32:44.670 --> 00:32:47.549 into her father's favorite little sports car 00:32:47.549 --> 00:32:50.049 an mg midget if you don't remember this car But 00:32:50.049 --> 00:32:54.009 it was oh, yeah a go -kart with a body and she 00:32:54.009 --> 00:32:57.279 wanted to drive it and she did and she got on 00:32:57.279 --> 00:33:00.460 the highway somehow driving it a stick shift 00:33:00.460 --> 00:33:03.140 and had the car at full speed because she lost 00:33:03.140 --> 00:33:05.019 control of it going straight under the back end 00:33:05.019 --> 00:33:07.579 of our Cadillac now my grandmother was driving 00:33:07.579 --> 00:33:09.900 never saw it because you wouldn't see it the 00:33:09.900 --> 00:33:11.759 car is too little and too low and drove under 00:33:11.759 --> 00:33:13.759 the bit end of the biggest one of the biggest 00:33:13.759 --> 00:33:16.240 cars on the road at the time because she did 00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:19.079 this and the car was literally crushed to a sardine 00:33:19.079 --> 00:33:21.279 can on the other side of the highway and when 00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:24.279 all this stopped i was just going through my 00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:28.619 light my light space and I get the voice. I told 00:33:28.619 --> 00:33:32.160 you to stop looking around in here. Don't be 00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:33.940 looking around in here. You're going to be okay, 00:33:33.940 --> 00:33:37.059 but don't come back here. Go back and do the 00:33:37.059 --> 00:33:41.019 work. And then I look to my hand. I'm starting 00:33:41.019 --> 00:33:44.259 to come to my surroundings, but I don't know 00:33:44.259 --> 00:33:47.420 that I am. And I have two lines on here on my 00:33:47.420 --> 00:33:49.160 hand. You can't barely see them anymore. But 00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:52.160 what was happening was there was looks like a 00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:56.940 glass dagger was stuck in my hand going in here 00:33:56.940 --> 00:33:59.759 and coming out here. It was embedded in there. 00:34:00.019 --> 00:34:02.180 It was longer than my hand. Of course, I had 00:34:02.180 --> 00:34:06.599 a small hand. But the light was reflecting through 00:34:06.599 --> 00:34:10.880 a crack in the summer sun through the car and 00:34:10.880 --> 00:34:13.260 was reflecting off. And it looked like the prism 00:34:13.260 --> 00:34:15.420 filter on Pink Floyd Duck's Side of the Moon, 00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:17.139 if you know what that looks like, that prism 00:34:17.139 --> 00:34:19.480 thing. And I'm thinking, wow, this is fascinating. 00:34:19.599 --> 00:34:21.980 But I feel like I've just been in an accident 00:34:21.980 --> 00:34:24.460 at Riverview. Now, for those that don't know, 00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:28.760 Riverview was like a great America. It was a 00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:30.260 Disneyland, if you will. But it all they had 00:34:30.260 --> 00:34:32.760 was roller coasters that had notoriously had 00:34:32.760 --> 00:34:35.179 accidents where people died. It was eventually 00:34:35.179 --> 00:34:37.840 closed because it was too much liability. But 00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:39.840 I thought I was on one of those roller coaster 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.260 rides. and i'm looking at this glass with fascination 00:34:43.260 --> 00:34:45.900 but thinking man i'm really nauseous the belt 00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:48.139 was off it looked like it had either snapped 00:34:48.139 --> 00:34:51.519 off or broken off and i was laying in a crumpled 00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:55.059 ball like this you know upside kind of upside 00:34:55.059 --> 00:34:58.599 down uh that part is not as clear but what is 00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:00.519 clear is i looked through the crack where the 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:02.920 sun was coming in and i see a head appear there 00:35:02.920 --> 00:35:05.519 a little head of this girl who was the one who 00:35:05.519 --> 00:35:07.800 caused the accident she was fine And traffic 00:35:07.800 --> 00:35:10.099 had stopped for apparently for miles and she 00:35:10.099 --> 00:35:12.659 looked in there and she says, is anybody okay 00:35:12.659 --> 00:35:16.179 in there? I just started laughing to myself. 00:35:16.380 --> 00:35:19.039 I didn't laugh out loud, but I, I don't know 00:35:19.039 --> 00:35:20.679 if I laughed out loud, really. I just know I 00:35:20.679 --> 00:35:22.519 was, this was really funny. Like, is anybody 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:26.199 okay in here? Why would a little girl who I couldn't 00:35:26.199 --> 00:35:28.079 have imagined that she was the driver that caused 00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:30.539 the accident, but where does this little girl 00:35:30.539 --> 00:35:33.139 come from? And why is she asking if anybody's 00:35:33.139 --> 00:35:34.500 okay? So I don't say anything. And then I hear 00:35:34.500 --> 00:35:38.380 a big deep voice. A little lady stepped to the 00:35:38.380 --> 00:35:41.599 side, please. And a fireman comes in and I can 00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:43.860 see basically this part of his face. And he says, 00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:46.239 is there anybody in there? If you are, please 00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:50.500 call out. And I said, this is Greg and I'm calling 00:35:50.500 --> 00:35:53.619 out and I'm very nauseous. I remember that real 00:35:53.619 --> 00:35:56.579 well. I just remember the feeling of nausea. 00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:59.300 He said, well, I need to know if anybody else 00:35:59.300 --> 00:36:02.000 in there is hurt or okay. Can you tap anybody 00:36:02.000 --> 00:36:03.760 and see? I said, well, they're not really moving. 00:36:04.309 --> 00:36:06.230 He said, okay, we're gonna have to cut the car. 00:36:06.230 --> 00:36:10.170 So now keep in mind this was about a Year before 00:36:10.170 --> 00:36:12.110 they had shatter proof glass on cars where they 00:36:12.110 --> 00:36:14.750 put polycarbonate in the glass front from shattering 00:36:14.750 --> 00:36:17.829 So glass just went everywhere and I had the one 00:36:17.829 --> 00:36:20.989 piece and then this was also about three months 00:36:20.989 --> 00:36:25.969 as history tells us before they first used a 00:36:25.969 --> 00:36:30.309 jaws of life to open up a crashed car So they 00:36:30.309 --> 00:36:33.170 would use any kind of crazy tool they power tool 00:36:33.170 --> 00:36:36.710 they could find to chop open a car to get people 00:36:36.710 --> 00:36:41.610 out. Yeah I wanted to just check one quick thing 00:36:41.610 --> 00:36:44.989 for those that weren't alive back then there 00:36:44.989 --> 00:36:47.829 were lap belts in some cars there were no shoulder 00:36:47.829 --> 00:36:50.730 belts and nobody wore them there were no seat 00:36:50.730 --> 00:36:54.380 belt laws nobody wore them. So it was normal 00:36:54.380 --> 00:36:57.000 for you to just be playing around back there. 00:36:57.219 --> 00:36:59.900 We used to stand up in the front seat of the 00:36:59.900 --> 00:37:01.860 car. I mean, things like that. It's just how 00:37:01.860 --> 00:37:04.800 it was back then. That's right. And parents might 00:37:04.800 --> 00:37:06.780 say if they were really ambitious, they might 00:37:06.780 --> 00:37:10.340 say, you need to sit on and shut up now. Yeah, 00:37:10.340 --> 00:37:12.440 that'll keep you safe. But he said, you know, 00:37:12.519 --> 00:37:14.840 is there he said, I'm going to need you to cover 00:37:14.840 --> 00:37:19.119 your eyes and it might you might feel some stinging 00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:21.960 from the. the saw, but you need to keep them 00:37:21.960 --> 00:37:25.380 closed and covered. And if anybody else is there, 00:37:25.460 --> 00:37:27.579 you need to try to shield them any way you can. 00:37:27.900 --> 00:37:30.699 He said, okay, we're going to use this saw now. 00:37:30.860 --> 00:37:34.159 And then I heard a generator go on. And then 00:37:34.159 --> 00:37:36.639 I heard a circular saw go on. And then I heard 00:37:36.639 --> 00:37:39.519 metal crunching and through my hands covered 00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:43.019 like this, just kind of, you know, peeking a 00:37:43.019 --> 00:37:44.940 couple of times, sparks were flying all over 00:37:44.940 --> 00:37:47.489 the place. And that went on for. As far as I 00:37:47.489 --> 00:37:49.170 can remember, it seems like five to 10 minutes, 00:37:49.190 --> 00:37:52.070 but it was a long time. And then they were able 00:37:52.070 --> 00:37:56.289 to finally crowbar the thing space and get everybody 00:37:56.289 --> 00:37:58.389 out of there. I don't know how they did it. Now, 00:37:59.070 --> 00:38:04.769 a long time later, about a month later, my grandfather 00:38:04.769 --> 00:38:08.710 needed to get his insurance card and his license. 00:38:08.929 --> 00:38:10.389 And he had left it in the, he always had his 00:38:10.389 --> 00:38:11.710 wallet in the glove box. So we had to go to the 00:38:11.710 --> 00:38:13.570 junkyard and get it. So I have a picture of the 00:38:13.570 --> 00:38:17.820 car and it is just trash. They told us there's 00:38:17.820 --> 00:38:20.000 no way anybody's gonna live from this. When we 00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:22.260 approached the car, we knew everybody in there 00:38:22.260 --> 00:38:26.420 was dead. So was your family okay? They all had 00:38:26.420 --> 00:38:29.619 a fractured neck vertebrae, the three of them. 00:38:30.139 --> 00:38:33.920 My sister and my friends. But they lived a normal 00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:37.079 life after that. I just had the glass in my hand. 00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.119 And it stayed there until we got to the hospital. 00:38:39.179 --> 00:38:41.900 They removed it and put in three stitches here. 00:38:42.380 --> 00:38:44.739 It's there today. It's a very clear reminder 00:38:44.739 --> 00:38:47.199 of it. something that is still very clear to 00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:50.559 me. So this voice that you heard during various 00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:54.059 NDEs, tell me about it. Was it the same voice 00:38:54.059 --> 00:38:56.940 every time and what did it sound like? Well, 00:38:56.940 --> 00:38:59.719 it sounded like how I would describe, you know, 00:38:59.760 --> 00:39:03.360 God or a supreme being or one of his helpers 00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:07.500 or, you know, as a deep voice. Something kind 00:39:07.500 --> 00:39:10.440 of like what my voice has turned into. It's not 00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:13.239 my voice for sure. It's a deeper voice, deeper 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:18.199 throatier voice. that was somehow soothing, even 00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:21.500 though it started out disciplinary and later 00:39:21.500 --> 00:39:24.400 it fluctuated between different assignments, 00:39:24.400 --> 00:39:27.659 if you will. What emotions did it leave you with? 00:39:28.340 --> 00:39:31.420 Well, after that second experience in the car, 00:39:32.019 --> 00:39:34.519 I just received this love for all things. It 00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:38.539 was like endless gratitude. I no longer saw things 00:39:38.539 --> 00:39:41.760 just, you know, there's a car, there's my father, 00:39:42.139 --> 00:39:45.119 there's my neighbor friend, there's my teacher. 00:39:45.480 --> 00:39:48.260 I just had love for everybody. That and this 00:39:48.260 --> 00:39:50.260 sense of humor, all these gifts, I call them 00:39:50.260 --> 00:39:54.019 gifts, are ways that I live what I think is a 00:39:54.019 --> 00:39:56.760 great life. Years later, I wrote a book called 00:39:56.760 --> 00:39:59.460 Ten Days to Live about a fellow that was not 00:39:59.460 --> 00:40:01.280 supposed to make it more than 10 days because 00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:04.170 he had... three twenty over one ninety hypertension 00:40:04.170 --> 00:40:05.889 when there was no medicine treat the disease 00:40:05.889 --> 00:40:08.389 in forty nine it was endorsed by a guy named 00:40:08.389 --> 00:40:10.530 norman cousins he wrote a book called anatomy 00:40:10.530 --> 00:40:13.570 of an illness that i read years later and became 00:40:13.570 --> 00:40:16.110 familiar with them in the eighties. And he won 00:40:16.110 --> 00:40:19.070 a honorary medical degree from harvard for laughing 00:40:19.070 --> 00:40:23.409 himself well. You left himself well love it so 00:40:23.409 --> 00:40:26.090 that gift and the gift of having endless gratitude. 00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:29.860 You know, there's an old saying that if you want 00:40:29.860 --> 00:40:32.280 to be wealthy and prosperous, you have to understand 00:40:32.280 --> 00:40:35.179 how wealthy and prosperous you are already. So 00:40:35.179 --> 00:40:36.940 you have to be able to take stock and inventory 00:40:36.940 --> 00:40:39.059 of the things in your life that you wanted, liked 00:40:39.059 --> 00:40:42.019 and loved that you now have that make your life 00:40:42.019 --> 00:40:45.039 better. And you have to be able to reflect that. 00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:47.159 And that's what gives you hope. That's what gives 00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:49.980 you desire. That's what gives you the passion 00:40:49.980 --> 00:40:53.079 for living. But I say it all comes from the heart, 00:40:53.099 --> 00:40:55.039 which they now know is its own energy center, 00:40:55.099 --> 00:40:59.159 like the mind. The core work of what I received, 00:40:59.840 --> 00:41:03.139 this knowledge on my 12th, talks about a language 00:41:03.139 --> 00:41:06.159 called the positive affirmative language. And 00:41:06.159 --> 00:41:09.059 it says that if everything you say has only the 00:41:09.059 --> 00:41:11.500 positive elements, not the natural counterpart 00:41:11.500 --> 00:41:14.559 negative elements, and if you're thinking those 00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:18.639 things, feeling those things, believing those 00:41:18.639 --> 00:41:22.150 things, speaking those things, then you can receive 00:41:22.150 --> 00:41:25.030 those things that you want like in love. And 00:41:25.030 --> 00:41:27.969 so it's a whole body of work that becomes its 00:41:27.969 --> 00:41:31.670 own language. And I have to believe that if, 00:41:31.710 --> 00:41:34.449 you know, I'm talking to these experiences to 00:41:34.449 --> 00:41:40.070 God or God's helpers or whatever, that this body 00:41:40.070 --> 00:41:44.340 of wisdom is there and they want people on earth 00:41:44.340 --> 00:41:47.000 today to be able to get that information and 00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:50.360 use it for a better experience at a higher level, 00:41:50.360 --> 00:41:53.500 if you will, without having to learn a bunch 00:41:53.500 --> 00:41:56.400 of stuff. And that's, I think, the core of this 00:41:56.400 --> 00:41:58.179 information that I was receiving. I must have 00:41:58.179 --> 00:42:02.039 been receiving it having gratitude. I once thought 00:42:02.039 --> 00:42:05.760 that my second grade teacher in second grade 00:42:05.760 --> 00:42:08.380 did not like me, even though I was an A student 00:42:08.380 --> 00:42:11.860 my whole life, having seemingly done no work. 00:42:12.079 --> 00:42:16.199 and just shown up, but still got all great grades. 00:42:16.860 --> 00:42:20.119 She wrote a letter that I found about a year 00:42:20.119 --> 00:42:22.219 ago when I was visiting with my mom. She had 00:42:22.219 --> 00:42:25.380 saved it from second grade to my parents. And 00:42:25.380 --> 00:42:28.260 it just, it just talks about me in such a way 00:42:28.260 --> 00:42:31.300 that if you were to read it, you would say this 00:42:31.300 --> 00:42:35.340 kid is going places because he has a great attitude 00:42:35.340 --> 00:42:39.599 and he is open and he learns quickly and he's 00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:42.409 helping make everything better. So that's what 00:42:42.409 --> 00:42:46.050 I took from those experiences and it became about, 00:42:46.050 --> 00:42:49.849 you know, at 30, I stopped asking why am I here? 00:42:50.449 --> 00:42:53.769 And I started behaving why I'm here to do good 00:42:53.769 --> 00:42:56.070 things and do good work and to live a good life 00:42:56.070 --> 00:42:59.150 and to help people any way I can. So between 00:42:59.150 --> 00:43:02.909 your books, training, all kinds of other things 00:43:02.909 --> 00:43:05.289 that you've done, I'm going to just let everybody 00:43:05.289 --> 00:43:07.889 know if they want to learn more about that stuff, 00:43:08.590 --> 00:43:11.010 patriotinnercircle .com, and we'll stick that 00:43:11.010 --> 00:43:14.250 down in the show notes too. Leave us with one 00:43:14.250 --> 00:43:17.349 last thought. Why should people have hope today? 00:43:17.989 --> 00:43:20.429 Well, within the Patriot Inner Circle that you 00:43:20.429 --> 00:43:24.389 just mentioned, this is my last effort now before 00:43:24.389 --> 00:43:27.309 final retirement of You know, not living, but 00:43:27.309 --> 00:43:29.829 from just trying to pass this information on 00:43:29.829 --> 00:43:31.849 because it's been working and it's going to work 00:43:31.849 --> 00:43:34.190 better and better. But I wrote a book in there 00:43:34.190 --> 00:43:36.969 in three days, a 400 page book called semantics 00:43:36.969 --> 00:43:40.309 and mechanics. And you can read the first hundred 00:43:40.309 --> 00:43:44.030 pages, I think on Amazon Kindle and you can get 00:43:44.030 --> 00:43:46.429 the first hundred pages along with 12 other. 00:43:46.650 --> 00:43:49.829 gifts of things that are just given away freely 00:43:49.829 --> 00:43:52.409 to everybody. And I would urge anybody that is 00:43:52.409 --> 00:43:54.789 interested, really, if you're genuinely interested, 00:43:55.329 --> 00:43:58.670 just sign up with an email and get the 12 free 00:43:58.670 --> 00:44:01.590 downloads. And Semantics and Mechanics, the book 00:44:01.590 --> 00:44:03.949 I wrote, the latest book I wrote within that 00:44:03.949 --> 00:44:08.389 information, decodes everything down to what 00:44:08.389 --> 00:44:11.820 our systems... You know how are they used to 00:44:11.820 --> 00:44:14.539 keep us believing certain things and how can 00:44:14.539 --> 00:44:18.059 we use our own horsepower our own intelligence 00:44:18.059 --> 00:44:21.539 to get to the center of clarity for ourselves 00:44:21.539 --> 00:44:24.480 and then use that to the greater good of whatever 00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:27.199 it is we want to accomplish in our own contribution 00:44:27.199 --> 00:44:29.559 to our lives and the lives of those that are 00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:32.900 close to us so i guess that's that book semantics 00:44:32.900 --> 00:44:36.460 and mechanics is my final piece will be a series 00:44:36.460 --> 00:44:39.789 of those but the first book. It effectively achieves 00:44:39.789 --> 00:44:42.510 and if somebody was to read those three hundred 00:44:42.510 --> 00:44:45.369 pages on kindle around. Patriot inner circle 00:44:45.369 --> 00:44:47.789 at the patriot point of superstore they would 00:44:47.789 --> 00:44:52.269 be able to start to easily decode all what's 00:44:52.269 --> 00:44:54.929 going on around them and have a lot of hope for. 00:44:55.429 --> 00:44:57.889 The things they want to accomplish in life and 00:44:57.889 --> 00:45:01.130 the good they want to do by giving them tools. 00:45:02.110 --> 00:45:05.389 That i guess in closing i could say that i was 00:45:05.389 --> 00:45:09.219 on a show. entrepreneurs on fire about five years 00:45:09.219 --> 00:45:12.920 ago. And he has some very strange questions that 00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:15.679 I'd never heard. One of the questions is, what 00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:17.619 do you say to people that say, well, I didn't 00:45:17.619 --> 00:45:19.679 have this background or I didn't have that background. 00:45:19.940 --> 00:45:22.099 And this sort of thing really applies here and 00:45:22.099 --> 00:45:25.000 maybe some meaningful way to close this. And 00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:28.880 that is that I said, you know, people aren't 00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:32.460 the reason they're not successful. I think has 00:45:32.460 --> 00:45:36.000 very little to do with. Having a lot of challenges 00:45:36.000 --> 00:45:38.460 to overcome because although i've had a lot of 00:45:38.460 --> 00:45:41.139 challenges that's part of my journey most people. 00:45:41.960 --> 00:45:44.219 Don't have an anecdotal story you know they don't 00:45:44.219 --> 00:45:47.579 have a lot of challenges that get them. To overcome 00:45:47.579 --> 00:45:49.539 and overcome and overcome and so finally they 00:45:49.539 --> 00:45:52.019 just rise above and now they're selling that 00:45:52.019 --> 00:45:56.469 whole idea other people. I believe that the reason 00:45:56.469 --> 00:45:58.710 is, is that most people that have these challenges 00:45:58.710 --> 00:46:00.829 in life don't really overcome their challenges. 00:46:01.289 --> 00:46:03.230 They pass them on from generation to generation 00:46:03.230 --> 00:46:04.909 after saying, I won't be like my parents, or 00:46:04.909 --> 00:46:07.250 I won't make those mistakes. They tend to do 00:46:07.250 --> 00:46:10.090 much the same things, but in much the same place. 00:46:10.449 --> 00:46:12.809 And the exceptions are just at the exceptions. 00:46:13.090 --> 00:46:16.010 I think the missing element is the decoding of 00:46:16.010 --> 00:46:18.389 all information. How do things really work? The 00:46:18.389 --> 00:46:22.329 awareness and clarity to understand the... situations 00:46:22.329 --> 00:46:25.110 and the chaoses you're revolving in and have 00:46:25.110 --> 00:46:27.610 the hope but have the tools, most importantly, 00:46:27.989 --> 00:46:31.550 to rise above and project through it and do real 00:46:31.550 --> 00:46:33.849 good for yourself that you can see, as we said 00:46:33.849 --> 00:46:36.050 in one of the advertisements, there's no learning 00:46:36.050 --> 00:46:38.829 curve, just watch and listen. So in Semantics 00:46:38.829 --> 00:46:42.949 and Mechanics, my closing opus, it shows how 00:46:42.949 --> 00:46:45.809 things are worded to create chaos, to create 00:46:45.809 --> 00:46:48.929 difficulty, to create struggle for most people. 00:46:49.190 --> 00:46:52.539 And this decodes all that. so that the mechanics 00:46:52.539 --> 00:46:55.840 can be not the mechanics you live by, you can 00:46:55.840 --> 00:46:58.639 make your own mechanics. And the real power of 00:46:58.639 --> 00:47:01.699 a person is the realization that they have the 00:47:01.699 --> 00:47:04.159 power within themself. That's what wakes the 00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:07.280 whole thing up. Most of my information, you would 00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:08.719 hear it, you would say, well, gee, I already 00:47:08.719 --> 00:47:11.440 know that to be true, or, you know, boy, that's 00:47:11.440 --> 00:47:13.920 a great point. I've often thought that way. But 00:47:13.920 --> 00:47:16.860 now that you put it in those words, it's very 00:47:16.860 --> 00:47:20.190 easy to succeed. And in those words now, I can 00:47:20.190 --> 00:47:22.449 actually take it into my life and do something 00:47:22.449 --> 00:47:24.989 with it. Otherwise, why is it worth something, 00:47:24.989 --> 00:47:27.409 right? Yeah, it's great when we have those kinds 00:47:27.409 --> 00:47:29.570 of things happen. It's sort of those light bulb 00:47:29.570 --> 00:47:33.050 on moments. I think there's so much that we already 00:47:33.050 --> 00:47:35.630 know, but it doesn't come to the surface often 00:47:35.630 --> 00:47:38.349 enough. And you're helping some of that happen. 00:47:38.750 --> 00:47:41.389 Anyway, Greg, I've got to let you go.
