- 0:00And welcome back to another episode of the Urantia Radio
- 0:03Podcast. We are honored to have our
- 0:05special guest, our world traveler, Urantia Book reader,
- 0:08lifetime student April Helen will be joining us talk about
- 0:11her new trip. She's going to be spreading the
- 0:14Urantia seed in Europe and also just life experiences.
- 0:17It will share as long time Urantia Book readers on this
- 0:21episode of the Urantia Radio Podcast.
- 0:51Just to introduce everybody, we're talking with April Helen,
- 0:55who is a long time your Angel book reader since in utero,
- 0:59right? I mean, pretty much your parents
- 1:02were reading my. Parents, My parents founded the
- 1:05year I was born in 1977 and I was born into the Oklahoma
- 1:13society, which was very thriving in the beginning.
- 1:17I think one of the first thriving societies back in the
- 1:20eight 70s, sixty 70s, yeah, under the under the leadership
- 1:26of Miss Berkeley. A lot of you out there know who
- 1:30she is. And we just I just came back
- 1:33from Oklahoma City because we had Jesus celebration.
- 1:36As most of you know, we celebrate in the Iran chibic
- 1:40movement Jesus's birthday, his first birthday in August, August
- 1:4621st. I was.
- 1:49I was. Somber that day, I typically it
- 1:51was Friday and I typically on that day, nobody that I know
- 1:56knows that with me. So I, I kind of celebrated just
- 2:01by thinking about him all day, you know?
- 2:03Yeah. And thinking about well.
- 2:04What do you think about? I think I think a lot about how
- 2:11the world really needs IIA Big believer in Paper 195, where it
- 2:18talked about what the what needs to change in Christianity and
- 2:23worldview. In many ways, we're very, very,
- 2:26very close to achieving some semblance of brotherhood, and
- 2:31we're getting there. But unfortunately, we're taking
- 2:33the very long path because right now the world is arming for the
- 2:38next war. I don't know how closely you
- 2:40follow things, but there's a lot of money and hardware and
- 2:44technology. And it's weird because, like,
- 2:47we're not fighting with China yet.
- 2:50They're our adversary. And we spend billions of dollars
- 2:53a year on missiles that can blow them up.
- 2:56And yet by the same time, there's a 200,000 tourists that
- 2:59go there from America every year and go shop at their stores and
- 3:04and they have people that come over here.
- 3:06And so it's two different worlds.
- 3:08You got the world of the people that pretty much we've all
- 3:12accepted each other, you know, But yet the leaders are
- 3:16insisting on this path that ultimately, like the book says,
- 3:21will end in terrible destruction.
- 3:24So I think about how we can take what Jesus's message was and get
- 3:30that into the hearts of more people, because it really does.
- 3:33Great article in the Messenger this week.
- 3:36And it was the woman who is, I guess she's the leader of the
- 3:39Fellowship. And I'm sorry, I don't know her
- 3:41name, but she was answering Byron Bolito's concerns about
- 3:46how the Urantia book is not moving.
- 3:48I'll interrupt you there. Yeah.
- 3:50What? Well, let me finish.
- 3:52The thought the. Because the thought is that she
- 3:55said, which was I'm getting to is my contemplation with Jesus
- 3:58was how can we initiate this change from within?
- 4:01Because it's got to change within each of us.
- 4:04That's what's going to get us to that, that light and life
- 4:08period. It's not going to be through a
- 4:09movement. It's not going to be through
- 4:11revolution. It's going to be because we all
- 4:14get closer to what Jesus was trying to teach us, that's all.
- 4:18Yes, yes. Well, I just wanted to clarify
- 4:21for our audience that the President of the Fellowship
- 4:24right now is Masu Sukham, and who wrote that article was a new
- 4:30General Counsel member of the Fellowship, Miss Sheila Neiland
- 4:38I believe. And then to your point back when
- 4:42you said the revelation points towards destruction, maybe I'm
- 4:49misunderstanding you yet. I don't think that I see the
- 4:55because of our status because Michael Jesus who was sent here
- 5:03to clarify a lot of things, because of Adam and Eve's
- 5:09defaults and Kalagasha's rebellion that we are protected
- 5:16and we will survive towards the era of life and make it now.
- 5:21I have been debated on that before, where our a lot of
- 5:26people think that our planet will move towards an apocalyptic
- 5:32thing where the Reserve Corps is going to be necessary.
- 5:35That is not my personal intuition around the future of
- 5:43Urantia, our planet. Me neither.
- 5:46Yeah. Yeah.
- 5:48Well, what did you mean by that then, when you said destruction?
- 5:52Well, the, the quote is in the subject of materialism and the
- 5:57age that we're in now where things are developing so
- 6:01quickly, our intellectual progress is far ahead of our
- 6:05spiritual progress. And when you don't have that
- 6:08stabilizing force of, of, of spirit influence, you know, the
- 6:13wheels can sometimes go off when they start to spin too fast.
- 6:17And that's kind of where society is.
- 6:19So the quote is the results of materialism will be the quote is
- 6:24more destruction is inevitable if you choose this path of
- 6:29extreme materialism. So, you know, in paper 195, it
- 6:34goes through the different ideologies that are actually
- 6:37present. You've got the scientific view,
- 6:40which is that we're nothing more than atoms and Big Bang and all
- 6:44that. And you know, we make life what
- 6:46we make it. There's no ulterior motive.
- 6:48There's they're, they're not even getting close to
- 6:51intelligent design. Then you've got the
- 6:52totalitarianism, which is rampant.
- 6:56Half the world lives under totalitarian rule.
- 6:59And then there are different shades of totalitarianism.
- 7:02England is slipping into that and, and the Western culture is
- 7:08losing the the tenants of Christianity, even though they
- 7:12say, you know, there's more people who believe today and all
- 7:14that. But if you look deep down, it
- 7:17also says that again, the Urantia book says most so-called
- 7:22Christians are really secularists.
- 7:24They just outwardly they appear to be Christian, but they don't
- 7:27really look at the teachings of Jesus.
- 7:29It's more like I'll, I'll go to God when I, when I need his
- 7:33help, but otherwise I'm just going to, I'll take the wheel
- 7:36from here. And, and sort of what I'm saying
- 7:38is that the, if there are Reserve Corps of Destiny, if
- 7:43there is the Seraphic influence, which I believe there is, it's
- 7:47working from within. It's, it's putting these people
- 7:50in positions. And, and I've talked to people
- 7:53in the Rancho community who think they know who some of
- 7:55these people are in, in, in politics and in, in perhaps in
- 8:00some position, Dolly Parton could have been reserve Corps of
- 8:03Destiny, if you really want to know the truth.
- 8:05I mean, I, I don't think I know a more innocent person who had a
- 8:09more positive influence through her music than Dolly.
- 8:12And she of course, passed away recently.
- 8:14So, you know, there's that influence, but the people that
- 8:18are most dangerous to me are the the world leaders and people who
- 8:22think that they can micro engineer humanity.
- 8:26What do you think about that? Yes, for sure.
- 8:30And just a little shout out to Miss Dolly.
- 8:33Not just her music, yet her love for education and specifically
- 8:39books and reading. Was she a ranch book reader by
- 8:43any chance? Oh well, that is to be known in
- 8:50the future I suppose. She's friends with Willie.
- 8:52Maybe he brought the blue book with her, you know?
- 8:55Hey, what's that? What you got there, Willie?
- 9:00Well, I do look at the curiosity when I think of the era of line
- 9:06life and how in the world and I know it will happen.
- 9:09Yet it'll be really curious to see how the what what I call the
- 9:14war machine, the industrial military complex.
- 9:19And because it's such a monetarily successful agency in
- 9:27the entire on the entire planet in many nations.
- 9:31Like how will that be moved into the era of light and life?
- 9:38And the quote in the book that says, paraphrasing here around
- 9:43taking having liberty without license.
- 9:47When we get to when humans get to the evolutionary stage, the
- 9:52maturity that we make decisions based on the consequences to
- 9:58serve the greatest good instead of selfish, that is when the
- 10:06shift will be taking putting less power into the the war
- 10:16machine. And even though our wars are
- 10:20less damaging than they were even just 100 years ago, that
- 10:27shift is inevitable towards the era of Latin life.
- 10:31And what you were just saying about it.
- 10:34It takes these individuals that may probably don't know that
- 10:40they're in the reserve corps, that they're in these positions
- 10:44of power to make these decisions.
- 10:46And I've heard several stories over the years of bombs that
- 10:52were placed that the person pushing the supposed to push the
- 10:57button wouldn't push the button. Yeah.
- 11:00And it, it, it saved us in some way.
- 11:03You're. Talking about that thing, it was
- 11:05in the 70s and there was AI, think a Russian operative, kind
- 11:09of like the technician guy. I think so.
- 11:11And he was supposed to push that button because there had been an
- 11:14early warning trigger and for whatever reason.
- 11:18Yeah, I've heard that story a few times.
- 11:20He he just didn't do it. He just.
- 11:22I can't. Yeah.
- 11:23And that would have spurred on, you know, World War 3.
- 11:27So. Yeah.
- 11:28And and, you know, so that's that's why I don't worry too
- 11:30much about what I can't control because I know that.
- 11:33Right. I know.
- 11:34I was just reading about the faithful of days today and their
- 11:38influence. They're called the most highs in
- 11:41in the ranch book and also in the Bible.
- 11:45I think when the most high are mentioned a lot, but it's the
- 11:49Christians think it's about it's God, it's another name for God,
- 11:52but we know better. And that's kind of leads me to
- 11:54my next sort of thing I want to jump into.
- 11:58Are you still going to France to do some uranium I?
- 12:03Am in a month, yes. OK, well, when you get there,
- 12:06take a look. When's the last time you've been
- 12:08to Europe? Oh, it'll be my first on that
- 12:11continent. I've been to every other
- 12:13continent except that one. So I'm pretty excited to go
- 12:17start a spiritual retreat center with another arrangement reader.
- 12:22Well, that should be exciting. I we will be happy to hear that.
- 12:28So we were talking earlier, April, Helen and I about this.
- 12:32So I had recently had a tragedy in my family that involved a
- 12:37close relative coming to the end, let's just put it that way.
- 12:42And everybody that loses a loved one depends on who it is.
- 12:47We all react the way that we react.
- 12:50We all process things differently.
- 12:52But what you and I were talking about is there's a certain
- 12:56security in knowing at least feeling like I know what the
- 13:01process is when a person passes away.
- 13:03Because the Urantia book is very specific about what actually
- 13:07happens, what the transaction is.
- 13:10And I've accepted that that transaction of the way that the
- 13:14spirit adjuster goes to what is it Serafington to sort of check
- 13:20in and then and then the guardian Angel that's assigned
- 13:24to you takes possession of I think your soul, right?
- 13:30You're the the, the the memories, everything that you
- 13:34have about you. It's almost like they transfer
- 13:36your entire life onto a chip, you know, and they take it with
- 13:40you and then they reunite on resurrection morning on Mansonia
- 13:46and and you're greeted by a mansion world teacher And it's a
- 13:51beautiful process and it's everything that everybody's ever
- 13:54dreamed of. I think you would agree with me
- 13:56that it should give anybody great comfort to know that there
- 14:00is a real intelligent process behind resurrection.
- 14:05I know that and I know that the person that is just recently
- 14:09passed away doesn't know that and none of her family knows
- 14:14that. And I it's just because of the
- 14:17fact that I have that knowledge. I, I feel like it really gives
- 14:21me an inner strength and I wish I could convey that strength to
- 14:26other people. You know, not that they don't
- 14:29think that she's not everybody's praying for and all that stuff.
- 14:32And it's, but do you know what I mean?
- 14:34It's like knowing that knowing what happens lessens the blow
- 14:38is, is that a way? Is that a good way to put it?
- 14:41No, for sure. And it's interesting as people,
- 14:47loved ones that have transitioned, even though I have
- 14:53this information from the Urantia book of I don't even
- 14:56call it death anymore because we're in eternal life and we're
- 15:01just transitioning to the next level.
- 15:05And even still, I go through the animalistic human grief process.
- 15:13And in my younger years, I was like, oh, why is grief?
- 15:18Why do we have sadness? Why, why, why?
- 15:20Because we already know what's going to happen.
- 15:23So be joyful and knowing that they're going to be waking up in
- 15:27the resurrection hall surrounded by all those who have come
- 15:30before us. And then what an adventure that
- 15:33we get to go on through the mansion worlds and then hundreds
- 15:36of worlds until we get to paradise is perfecting our
- 15:39personalities and views. And, and yet I still, when I
- 15:44experience these folks who transition specifically on how
- 15:50they transition, what transpired in their life?
- 15:54Are they making the decision to transition themselves through
- 16:00taking their own lives or is it a an accident?
- 16:05There are no accidents, but, you know, a car crash or is it
- 16:09health? So I think that also informs how
- 16:16I deal with the personal transition of that person and
- 16:21then my relationship with that person.
- 16:24And, and is, is there unresolved?
- 16:27It's a little bit, it hits a little harder if there's
- 16:29unresolved relationship issues or things that at some point in
- 16:37the eternal time and space that we'll have to come back around
- 16:41and have a forgiveness conversation or, or whatnot.
- 16:45And and then as you and I were talking this morning, this, this
- 16:50curiosity around us as Urantia world inhabitants, knowing that
- 16:59we're an experimental world. And if our audience doesn't know
- 17:03this apparently one out of every 10 worlds, the celestial
- 17:08organization allows for a little bit more experimentation.
- 17:12And we are one of those worlds. Plus we're a world that we're in
- 17:17double what I call defaults. I think you used another word
- 17:22for that earlier. And and then So what that has
- 17:29done, it has cut us off. They call us, we're in a
- 17:34quarantine. So we don't have the information
- 17:38except through the revelations that have come, Jesus being one
- 17:42of them, the Urantia book and the papers being another.
- 17:47That just allows us to have a little bit more information.
- 17:50So us as on an experimental world, it's curious to me that I
- 17:56think we get a little bit more leeway to when we get to the
- 18:01resurrection halls to be apparently we have a choice.
- 18:06You get to choose whether you want to continue on the path to
- 18:09fuse with God, or you can become as if you never were.
- 18:13Yeah, who's going to take that? Because that's kind of like the
- 18:16suckers choice, you know? Yeah.
- 18:18Well, it's interesting because when I get into debates with
- 18:21other Eurenshevik readers, they're they're saying most of
- 18:24the people are saying that it's very few people who actually
- 18:29make the choice to move forward. I was like, no, I think there's
- 18:34way more people that are going to, well, that's just to move
- 18:37forward. Though because it.
- 18:39Really is. And, and what often happens and
- 18:42how many times have you had this conversation where say, so
- 18:45you're saying that if Charles Manson believes in Jesus, then
- 18:49then he gets to go to heaven, man.
- 18:51And if I don't believe in Jesus and I live a good life, I don't
- 18:54get to go to heaven, you know? Have you had that conversation
- 18:57before? Well, that is actually a whole
- 19:01other thing, because I. Think what do you say about it?
- 19:04How do you get around that? Well, I I don't think it's I
- 19:08think what what I say is we're that's not a planetary, that is
- 19:13a universal like that quote that says you have to move through me
- 19:20to get to the father. Yeah, it's not the making the
- 19:24decision from this world because Jesus is our universal parent.
- 19:31We we have many more planets to understand that and then we can
- 19:38make the choice and. Oh, wow.
- 19:41You are an optimist. You are an optimist.
- 19:43Yeah, I. Oh for sure, I.
- 19:45Think there's a huge wedding out process for people who don't
- 19:49make and there are people like I'll give you a good example.
- 19:53We'll just pick out imaginary names for people that we imagine
- 19:57exists. OK, let's say, Let's say that
- 20:00your name is El Chico. And you and you trend you, you
- 20:06work in human trafficking and, and you've killed a dozen people
- 20:12and you think that because you're a Catholic and because
- 20:15you were baptized that it doesn't God will accept you.
- 20:19Do you really think that that a murderous treacherous animal
- 20:25would would pass muster, would be allowed in or do you think
- 20:29there would be some kind of now people that have had NDE
- 20:33experiences, you know, near death experiences, they will
- 20:37tell you that a common feature of your answer person told me
- 20:41this, I think it was Byron Boletzo's actually.
- 20:43He said that they the first thing that happens that they
- 20:47remember is they see all the harm that they did to everybody
- 20:52else in their life. So imagine the first thing in
- 20:57the resurrection is you're sitting in a theater and you're
- 21:00watching your life and all the things that you did and who you
- 21:03affected in your life. I would, I would if I was a bad
- 21:07person and I was forced, I would think that I didn't deserve to
- 21:11go to heaven and I would just beg for it forgiveness and I'd
- 21:17probably get a crappy ass janitorial job on planet 614 and
- 21:23I'd have to learn the whole thing over again.
- 21:25I just believe there is some sort of justice that gets meted
- 21:28out to the bad people. Well, I completely think that
- 21:35there's a vetting and for one, I don't use terms like bad and
- 21:40good because their judgment qualities.
- 21:45And so to each the individual his own.
- 21:50And as we wake up from being a sleeping survivor, because those
- 21:57people who caused iniquitous experiences for other people on
- 22:04this planet definitely are sleeping survivors, when they
- 22:09wake up, they're faced with the ancients of days sitting there
- 22:15with the recorded information. They, they, they have to process
- 22:21all of that. Yet my point is, because we're
- 22:25on an experimental world with no material celestial
- 22:31representation to guide us, we are given a little bit more time
- 22:40and processing so to see the error of our ways.
- 22:45And if those people who have caused so much pain still don't
- 22:50see it, then they become as if they never were.
- 22:54Yet my point is that we have a little bit more grace in the
- 23:02universal justice system. Is.
- 23:05Still the justice. System more mercy.
- 23:08I think what you're saying is there'll be there'll be an
- 23:11abundance of mercy because people will know, just like when
- 23:13you meet somebody who's, you know, grows up and they become a
- 23:16real jerk and then you find out that, you know, they didn't have
- 23:20a good life. You know, you sort of have to
- 23:22factor in, you know, in Christ, in the stories that they say to
- 23:27us when some of the like the prostitutes, Mary Magdalene
- 23:30might even be a good example. Jesus could see in into their
- 23:33hearts and he could see through his superior intellect.
- 23:37You know, how they got to that place.
- 23:39And that's the lesson there is it?
- 23:41God does have mercy. That's why they have 3 ancients
- 23:45of days and not one, you know, that's why you know, I even
- 23:50Jesus said to Calagasia, I can't judge you because you're my kid.
- 23:54But maybe, you know, the ancients of days, you know,
- 23:59treat you fairly with mercy. See, that's, I think the, the
- 24:02reckoning that comes. But you're right.
- 24:04I, I think there is a, a great amount of leeway, you know, but
- 24:10some of these. Now, if those people were on
- 24:13planets, they aren't an experimental world and do have
- 24:19social, material, social, physical representation, then I
- 24:24don't, you know, it would surprise me if those kind of
- 24:29people, depending on the evolution of the evolutionary
- 24:33status of the planet during that particular time, it would
- 24:38surprise me if they were, you know, allowed to move forward or
- 24:43even even create or even allow themselves as a as a human to do
- 24:49these. Things you know, there's a
- 24:51there's a statement in where during the bestowal of of 7th
- 24:57bestowal of Christ, Emmanuel issued the proclamation that any
- 25:01rebellion that appears while he's on his assignment would
- 25:06meet with immediate extinction. Right.
- 25:12Yeah, imagine that. You know, some guy, some Lana
- 25:14Dandek over there in System 414 decides that he's going to throw
- 25:19a hissy fit. Boom, he's out of there.
- 25:25I'm just. Young, good behavior.
- 25:29Anyway, well, these are tough times.
- 25:35I'm, I'm hopeful that the, the angels of the, the nations and
- 25:40the angels of the churches are getting it done.
- 25:43I think they are. I, I like you.
- 25:46I tend to try to look at the universe as white with black
- 25:49spots instead of all black with only a few white spots, but.
- 25:56Yeah, that's such a good vision. I am definitely an optimist and
- 26:00like you said earlier, it's definitely a comfort, a comfort
- 26:04blanket, a comforting experience to have this greater vision of
- 26:10eternity and where we're going that I, I want to share.
- 26:17And so I'm so glad we're having this conversation is
- 26:20particularly towards non Urantia book readers who don't know yet
- 26:28and and just you out there listening to this.
- 26:33Just Can you imagine this eternal adventure that you have
- 26:40the potentiality, the progressive, take your time, be
- 26:47patient, understand that this planet, you're I call it we're
- 26:53an embryonic stage, this first world of your existence and take
- 26:59it to just learn, experience so much.
- 27:04Be kind, understand your emotions, understand how you're
- 27:09living in a human body, this animalistic thing.
- 27:13They as you progress through the levels of universal reality,
- 27:19this human form is going to be shifting into a more spiritual
- 27:24form. So you so starting on this
- 27:27world, just get just get clean and clear and start
- 27:32understanding how your relationships and and
- 27:35communication and filling your mind with beneficial information
- 27:41and then using it to the service of the greater good in your
- 27:47family and your community and your nation so that we can all
- 27:53bring the air of light in life right now.
- 27:57That's my hope. Well, that's true, yeah.
- 27:59Take adopt the attitude, you know, once you accept your
- 28:02citizenship to the Kingdom, you know, it's like you have your
- 28:06passport in your hand and and go about if you can to make a
- 28:09difference. But what you're doing, I think
- 28:12going and trying to establish a Urantia center.
- 28:15Is that what you're No. It's we've definitely Jill and
- 28:20I, although we are Urantia big students, we both agree that the
- 28:28spiritual center is not just even for spirituality.
- 28:32Some of our retreats are just going to be cultural tourism.
- 28:36Yet we can also have service projects for people who want to
- 28:41come over and be a tourist but also serve.
- 28:45Or we're also going to be having inner work retreats for couples,
- 28:51for small groups, even for families.
- 28:54So it's gonna a lot of ways. It's gonna.
- 28:57Look like 19. 65 and you're gonna have flowers in your hair
- 29:01and well, this is a hippie. Hippie dippie?
- 29:07No, no, I don't like that. Word, Donovan Music and here
- 29:11comes the Ma Rishi. Maheshi locations.
- 29:15This is definitely modern and we're both grounded in all
- 29:23aspects of creativity and intellectualization and living
- 29:28the teachings and it's. Well, I'll be curious to see how
- 29:33you think it is over there. Do you think maybe we have a
- 29:38minute here, but I'll just ask you this question.
- 29:40What's up with the Muslim thing? You know, I don't know what to
- 29:43make of that. What do you think the Urantia
- 29:46viewpoint of Islam should because the Urantia book kind of
- 29:49explains it. This is my interpretation and
- 29:52the reason I'm having an issue is it because I don't think that
- 29:55it's a very tolerant, the teachings don't seem as
- 29:58tolerant. I'm sorry, but I just, if you
- 30:02had to, you know, compare quality.
- 30:05I just think that the teachings of the true teachings of Jesus
- 30:10could be greatly beneficial and take some of the edge off and
- 30:15maybe improve some of the quality of life for women who
- 30:19who live in Islamic countries. Do you think that they're ever
- 30:23going to just kind of they seemed like they want to take
- 30:26over the world and they want they want to make everybody bow
- 30:30And, and I just don't think that that's going to be something
- 30:32that appeals to many people in the 21st century to you.
- 30:37Well, the first thing when you said Muslim, I thought of
- 30:41women's equality and I then I my second thought was the Urantia
- 30:48book, which I adore. This concept is you're going to
- 30:54find truth anywhere. And because we're an
- 30:58evolutionary planet towards the era of light and life.
- 31:01And for those of you who don't know, nations are going to be
- 31:09we're going to be one world, we're going to be 1 spirituality
- 31:13and one family. Not next week, Eventually.
- 31:17Well, I think it's thousands of years from now.
- 31:20However, if we if we get that concept in our mind now, we can
- 31:24start working towards that goal. So when I think about any
- 31:29dogmatic institution and then separate it from the word
- 31:34religion, that's I think one of my darmic purposes in life right
- 31:39now is to expose the true definition of the word religion
- 31:46is you and your personal experience with the God moving
- 31:52through you. So the whole conversation about
- 31:56dogmatic institutionalized quote UN quote religion is this none
- 32:03of that is going to be reality thousands of years from now
- 32:07because everybody is going to understand that it's we're we're
- 32:11all one thing moving forward, one entity as a family and I
- 32:19don't see well, what I do see you said something about one
- 32:24them wanting to take over the world.
- 32:26All people want to take over the world, all cults and cultures
- 32:30and. They all we want theirs in the
- 32:32world, don't we? I mean, isn't that what we're
- 32:34trying to do is take over the world with this new idea?
- 32:37I. Think people wanting, taking
- 32:40over their inner world as individuals is the most
- 32:46important thing and understanding that we're all
- 32:49doing it together and we're in this ripple effect of what it
- 32:54can be when you get to know yourself as a piece of the
- 33:01greater whole. So that the the Muslim,
- 33:05Christian, Jewish, like any, any of that conversation is a whole
- 33:12nother conversation. That actually is less important
- 33:16to me than than getting the point across that we're all in
- 33:20this together. And that is the most important
- 33:24recognition of moving forward. Yeah, I don't think the AL
- 33:27Shabaab would would agree with you on that.
- 33:30But this is the thing. Religion is like, you know, a
- 33:34eating utensil. OK.
- 33:36And if that was the case, Christianity would be a fork and
- 33:39Islam would be chopsticks. And at some point, you have to
- 33:42say to the person, you know, the fork is a lot better than the
- 33:46chopsticks, I guarantee. Just give it a try.
- 33:48Let me introduce you to my friend Jesus.
- 33:50He's got a whole bunch of stuff to tell you about and, and I
- 33:53wish I could have that conversation.
- 33:55When you go to Europe, I want you to try to have that
- 33:58conversation with somebody just to see what they say to you,
- 34:02because that, that's what everybody's fighting about
- 34:05domination. Everybody wants to exert their
- 34:07ideology on everybody else. And it doesn't matter if you're
- 34:12a technocrat or if you're an ideologue or a religious leader,
- 34:17that that's, you're right. Everything has to start with
- 34:21with the person, not so much the group, the person, the people
- 34:25within the group and eventually we will figure it out.
- 34:28It's just it's going to be a hell of a ride.
- 34:31And I think that's. It is a wonderful adventure,
- 34:34isn't it? Yeah, yeah, just.
- 34:36See how far we've come, and that is what gives me hell.
- 34:41We have come so far and we're totally in an era 100 years
- 34:47later after we received the revelation that people are
- 34:52waking up to this fact. And even though the global
- 34:55leaders may not or the religious leaders may not be holding this,
- 35:01I know that there is a deeper river of individuals who are
- 35:07waking up to this fact and doing something about it.
- 35:11I know it. Yeah, well, I like your
- 35:14optimism. Have a good time, be safe.
- 35:16And when you come back, you can share with us some of your
- 35:18experiences. It's kind of like when you know,
- 35:21Jesus got on the boat with the 2 Indian fellows and went and
- 35:25visited Rome for the first time. So you're going to, you're going
- 35:28to have a hell of a time. Be very interesting.
- 35:31Well. It'll be a long, it'll be a long
- 35:34trek. This is a long term stay, so I
- 35:36know that we'll have more conversations while I'm over
- 35:39there. And if I know you probably have
- 35:42social media. So if you want to tell people
- 35:44how they can keep in touch with you, go ahead and give that
- 35:46information out. Yeah, well, April helen.com has
- 35:52all of it and I'm on all the socials and I'm getting more and
- 35:56more involved in things. And I did start a school S
- 36:02kool.com making ripples and it is for all things improving your
- 36:11art of living through mind, body and spirit.
- 36:15And it's a growing community of UB and non UB students.
- 36:21And so we welcome you over there anytime.
- 36:25And thanks again to April Helen, we'll see you the next time.
- 36:29And when you're back from your next journey here on your Rancho
