- 0:18Speaker 1: with those on NBC's The Voice. Well, this isn't about
- 0:21Speaker 1: catching up. This is about reliving that moment while they

- 0:39Speaker 1: in resurrections? They happen every day. But are you willing
- 0:42Speaker 1: to listen, to participate, and to explore newer ways to
- 0:46Speaker 1: understand your personal journey? This podcast isn't about what we
- 0:50Speaker 1: study and see through the eyes of religion. My boy
- 0:53Speaker 1: boy Ernie spoke with me every chance we had together.
- 0:56Speaker 1: But this isn't about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly
- 0:59Speaker 1: 34 years. This resurrection is that of a writing instrument.
- 1:04Speaker 1: Verbal documentation of what some may call a vision quest.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Trusting the great mysteries of life. Tools are handed to
- 1:12Speaker 1: us to carve out each expectation. This tool was laid
- 1:16Speaker 1: to rest inside a forest floor. to experience the elements
- 1:20Speaker 1: of reality while connecting with a universe that unconditionally shares
- 1:24Speaker 1: its stories. But who's writing it? Welcome to The Resurrection.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Welcome back to Ernie's World.
- 1:35Speaker 1: Why should I be shocked that there is a hurricane
- 1:38Speaker 1: and tropical storm headed in this direction? I mean, a
- 1:41Speaker 1: record-setting snowstorm this year with the ice.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Storms, the winds of change.
- 1:48Speaker 1: The drought and heating index of 114 degrees. Why should
- 1:54Speaker 1: I be shocked that this is coming to Ernie's Forest? Yeah,
- 2:00Speaker 1: and what we're going to get is a lot of wind,
- 2:02Speaker 1: a lot of rain. Yeah, it's Eeyah Eeyahs. That's the
- 2:07Speaker 1: name of it, which is a biblical name. about things
- 2:11Speaker 1: that are going to trust your faith, that are going
- 2:13Speaker 1: to make you stronger. It is a biblical story that's supposed.
- 2:17Speaker 2: To be positive.
- 2:18Speaker 1: And yet, whoever designed this list of names, did they
- 2:22Speaker 1: ever stop and think that in this moment of change
- 2:26Speaker 1: that would be happening to this nation, that Eaz, Eaz...
- 2:30Speaker 1: is going to bring destruction and not faith purity and
- 2:35Speaker 1: forgiveness you know the bible is saying a lot of
- 2:38Speaker 1: great things because this is no different than the americanized
- 2:42Speaker 1: isaiah it's the same dude the same story but here
- 2:47Speaker 1: it comes the hurricane that'll become a tropical storm and
- 2:52Speaker 1: it's going to march right through ernie's forest where's the
- 2:57Speaker 1: writing instrument it's in the ground It's been in the ground.
- 3:01Speaker 1: It ain't coming out until January.
- 3:03Speaker 2: 2nd, 2027.
- 3:04Speaker 1: So now, I have to sit there and wonder, with
- 3:09Speaker 1: all of the snowstorms, with all of the drought, and
- 3:13Speaker 1: the heating index at 114, and now a hurricane slash
- 3:17Speaker 1: tropical storm, What are the stories that are waiting to
- 3:22Speaker 1: be shared inside this writing instrument? I clearly encourage you
- 3:28Speaker 1: to do the same exact thing.
- 3:31Speaker 2: Take a writing instrument.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Put it in a specialized box that isn't going to
- 3:36Speaker 1: be badly damaged by the Earth itself.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Because the Earth isn't friendly. I'm going to tell you
- 3:40Speaker 2: that right now.
- 3:41Speaker 1: I've learned in the past 10 months how unfriendly this
- 3:45Speaker 1: planet is.
- 3:46Speaker 2: To objects that are not natural.
- 3:49Speaker 1: And so I invite you to put that pin, that
- 3:52Speaker 1: writing instrument, where the fungi is.
- 3:56Speaker 2: Because here's the thing. The fungi is the communicator.
- 4:00Speaker 1: All of these trees, all of these weeds, all of
- 4:03Speaker 1: these bushes, everything that is what is in your front yard,
- 4:08Speaker 1: in your park, at a mall, inside the ground before
- 4:11Speaker 1: you walk into the store, in.
- 4:14Speaker 2: A lake itself.
- 4:16Speaker 1: There is so much communication going on. Why wouldn't a poet,
- 4:20Speaker 1: a songwriter, a movie writer, or even somebody who just
- 4:24Speaker 1: daily writes want to put a writing instrument in the soil?
- 4:29Speaker 1: and let nature happen all around it.
- 4:34Speaker 2: We got a hurricane and a tropical storm on the way.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Who is shocked by this? I am not.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Because if it's all going to go wrong, it's going
- 4:44Speaker 1: to happen while this writing instrument is laying next to
- 4:47Speaker 1: Ernie inside this beautiful forest.
- 4:55Speaker 2: I'm endlessly fascinated with the number.
- 4:59Speaker 1: of wildlife that stop into this area where Ernie is
- 5:03Speaker 1: resting with the My Boy Boy writing instrument. Maybe it's
- 5:07Speaker 1: because it's on the hillside at the very top of
- 5:10Speaker 1: Heartbreak Hill. We have the morning sunshine. It could be
- 5:14Speaker 1: the breeze that comes off the lake. The long, tall
- 5:17Speaker 1: grass that plays. Music that you can't find on anything
- 5:22Speaker 1: like Spotify, iHeartRadio, or even terrestrial radio. But One of
- 5:28Speaker 1: the most unbelievable parts of this story is Timmy the Turtle.
- 5:34Speaker 1: I've been writing about Timmy the Turtle for so many years.
- 5:38Speaker 1: And the reason why I know it's Timmy the Turtle
- 5:41Speaker 1: is because of the markings. I remember back in the
- 5:44Speaker 1: Sacred Circle, which was positioned a little bit lower down
- 5:48Speaker 1: the hill near the slow-moving stream. And what happened is
- 5:53Speaker 1: that I would go in there for prayer. I would
- 5:55Speaker 1: go in there for meditation. I would open my eyes,
- 5:59Speaker 1: and Timmy the turtle was there. It's him. It's the
- 6:02Speaker 1: same exact marking on his shell, his home. The thing
- 6:08Speaker 1: he carries with him. And what was so... How do
- 6:13Speaker 1: you say this in a language that doesn't get so
- 6:16Speaker 1: godly or overbearing with the universe? I walk into the
- 6:22Speaker 1: forest where Ernie is today, and Timmy's just sitting there.
- 6:27Speaker 1: right there where Ernie is. And the fascinating part about
- 6:31Speaker 1: it is, is Timmy looks up at me like going,
- 6:35Speaker 1: hi guy, I got a story to share. I've been
- 6:39Speaker 1: sitting here listening. I've also been planting words to be
- 6:44Speaker 1: used inside that writing instrument. How is it that a
- 6:48Speaker 1: turtle would know to go into this area where Ernie
- 6:53Speaker 1: is presently growing universally? beyond the steps that we call
- 6:57Speaker 1: a normal lifestyle. Sometimes we think that death is the
- 7:02Speaker 1: one thing that we should be running away from and
- 7:04Speaker 1: not even speak about. When in reality, we could be
- 7:08Speaker 1: learning from it. And I think this whole project that
- 7:11Speaker 1: we're presently going through right now is based on one thing.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Are you listening? Lord knows there's enough preachers out there
- 7:19Speaker 1: that talk about eternity. But why does it seem like
- 7:23Speaker 1: that when somebody dies, does transition to the other side,
- 7:27Speaker 1: or wherever they jump to, we quit thinking about the
- 7:31Speaker 1: lessons we could be learning. And so I think following
- 7:35Speaker 1: witness to this today isn't necessarily a testimony, but rather
- 7:40Speaker 1: it's part of the story. The resurrection is a true story.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Learn more about it and the forest, as well as
- 7:49Speaker 1: my boy, boy Ernie at arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. His story, his journey,
- 7:55Speaker 1: his path with a writing instrument are available on the podcast,
- 7:59Speaker 1: The Lyrics from Ernie's Forest. Future episodes of this podcast
- 8:03Speaker 1: will focus on the transition of materialistic value to that
- 8:06Speaker 1: of an authentic storyteller. The ice storms, a record setting
- 8:10Speaker 1: 11 inches of snow, the fear of walking to the
- 8:12Speaker 1: gravesite to find nothing inside, the resurrection, faith, hope, forgiveness,
- 8:18Speaker 1: and discovery. What lessons will this writing instrument bring back
- 8:22Speaker 1: to the surface of walking forward? Let it rise above
- 8:26Speaker 1: our tears.
