- 0:14Speaker 1: I've spent the past 10 years and more sharing conversations
- 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
- 0:25Speaker 1: were on the show. And where are they today? That
- 0:29Speaker 1: voice on arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. Enjoy your exploration. Do you believe
- 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, Ernie,
- 0:54Speaker 1: spoke with me every chance we had together. But this
- 0:56Speaker 1: isn't about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly 34 years.
- 1:01Speaker 1: This resurrection is that of a writing instrument, verbal documentation
- 1:05Speaker 1: of what some may call a vision quest, trusting the
- 1:08Speaker 1: great mysteries of life. Tools are handed to us to
- 1:12Speaker 1: carve out each expectation. This tool was laid to rest
- 1:16Speaker 1: inside a forest floor to experience the elements of reality
- 1:21Speaker 1: while connecting with a universe that unconditionally shares its stories.
- 1:26Speaker 1: But who's writing it? Welcome to The Resurrection. I know
- 1:34Speaker 1: this is a story of the resurrection, which means the rising,
- 1:40Speaker 1: but you also have to deal with the actual rules
- 1:43Speaker 1: of the game, which was that the My Boy Boy
- 1:47Speaker 1: Ernie writing instrument has to go back in the ground.
- 1:50Speaker 1: Can you imagine that? That feeling, if it had emotions...
- 1:54Speaker 1: If it had some sort of connection to what emotions
- 1:58Speaker 1: are all about, what it would be like to be
- 2:00Speaker 1: nice and warm and comfortable inside Ernie's mansion overlooking this
- 2:04Speaker 1: beautiful forest. But now it's got to go back into
- 2:06Speaker 1: the ground. The good news is, is that this is
- 2:09Speaker 1: the fourth time that it's going to be doing this.
- 2:12Speaker 1: It's the final time that it will be going into
- 2:16Speaker 1: this forest floor. And I haven't touched it since we
- 2:20Speaker 1: brought it up. It's a filthy mess. It just would
- 2:25Speaker 1: not appease to anybody. I know what I paid for it.
- 2:28Speaker 1: I know its value. But right now, if you were
- 2:33Speaker 1: to look at it, you would say, why didn't you
- 2:35Speaker 1: throw it away? Dude, really, why didn't you throw it away?
- 2:39Speaker 1: It's been destroyed. Between you and me, on this podcast,
- 2:44Speaker 1: The Resurrection, this is what it's all about. Growing forward.
- 2:49Speaker 1: beyond our dents and dings. You know, one of the
- 2:54Speaker 1: things that I've talked about over the several different episodes
- 2:56Speaker 1: of The Resurrection is making sure that the fungi that
- 3:00Speaker 1: we can't see with our eye is still communicating in
- 3:04Speaker 1: these areas of peace, which I invite Ernie to be
- 3:07Speaker 1: a part of. And that's the reason why I planted
- 3:10Speaker 1: the writing instrument, the My Boy Boy writing instrument. And
- 3:13Speaker 1: so to be in this one section of the forest...
- 3:18Speaker 1: What am I seeing this morning? I'm seeing mushrooms. See,
- 3:22Speaker 1: now the mushrooms are only part of the fungi family.
- 3:26Speaker 1: If I'm seeing mushrooms above the ground, can you imagine
- 3:30Speaker 1: what is being shared beneath the surface? Those things that
- 3:34Speaker 1: we cannot even fantasize about because the way they communicate
- 3:39Speaker 1: is to allow everybody involved and not just a selected
- 3:43Speaker 1: few this isn't no corporate America situation this is physical
- 3:47Speaker 1: natural communication beneath the surface of the earth and that's
- 3:51Speaker 1: what I'm trying to tap into is to figure out
- 3:53Speaker 1: if I have sat back as an author for 34
- 3:57Speaker 1: years and said my energy as that author comes from
- 4:01Speaker 1: this forest what do I have to back that up
- 4:04Speaker 1: And so I always used to talk to Ernie about
- 4:06Speaker 1: that all the time. We would come out here inside
- 4:09Speaker 1: his little, little pen, and we would sit here and
- 4:11Speaker 1: just stare at the forest and listen to all the
- 4:14Speaker 1: birds singing because I just felt like he wanted to
- 4:16Speaker 1: hear all of these birds, from the crow to the
- 4:19Speaker 1: hawks to the owls to the little chipmunks chirping to
- 4:23Speaker 1: the squirrels that were stealing. I just wanted him to
- 4:26Speaker 1: hear everything. And then it hit me one day. fungi
- 4:31Speaker 1: if he is going into the surface of the soil
- 4:33Speaker 1: to become a part of this forest like you could
- 4:36Speaker 1: tell that he wanted to be out here because how
- 4:39Speaker 1: dare anybody walk anywhere near this forest he would let
- 4:42Speaker 1: you know well now that I'm starting to see a
- 4:44Speaker 1: lot of fungi and here is this beautiful tree which
- 4:48Speaker 1: we labeled we labeled it 100% dead it would be
- 4:52Speaker 1: chopped all the way down and then I started seeing
- 4:56Speaker 1: cream leaves and you should see it now It's just
- 5:00Speaker 1: stupendous in the way of showcasing a living art form.
- 5:06Speaker 1: They're communicating, and I'm standing witness to it even as
- 5:10Speaker 1: we speak, mushrooms above the ground connecting to the roots
- 5:17Speaker 1: of the leaves that have fallen and the trees that
- 5:19Speaker 1: are still growing. The writing instrument has been laying next
- 5:27Speaker 1: to Ernie now I would say pretty close to two
- 5:29Speaker 1: and a half, three months with no sunshine. Not until
- 5:35Speaker 1: January of 2027. We're still a few months away from that.
- 5:39Speaker 1: But we've talked several times about the oddities that are
- 5:42Speaker 1: taking place around a situation such as this. The unbelievable
- 5:47Speaker 1: amount of bad luck. Twists that you didn't expect. Fate
- 5:54Speaker 1: that you really thought you could ride out and enjoy.
- 5:59Speaker 1: But there's a difference between that and the actuality of
- 6:04Speaker 1: the realm of the universe. I've said this several different times.
- 6:08Speaker 1: There are some strange-ass things happening since my boy-boy Ernie
- 6:14Speaker 1: was allowed to fly freely inside this forest. And, of course,
- 6:18Speaker 1: you know what that means. He transitioned, and he's been
- 6:21Speaker 1: placed in a very special part of this forest. But
- 6:23Speaker 1: it doesn't explain the darkness... that seems to continuously happen
- 6:30Speaker 1: within this collection of trees. I mean, who would have
- 6:33Speaker 1: ever thought that walking on this forest floor, that I
- 6:37Speaker 1: would come across this unbelievable long streak of blood? Where
- 6:45Speaker 1: did it come from? How did it get here? I've
- 6:48Speaker 1: seen squirrels before. They don't bleed like this. I've seen
- 6:52Speaker 1: deer who were shot with arrows. It didn't bleed like this.
- 6:57Speaker 1: This is a continuous, long streak of blood. And as
- 7:02Speaker 1: I come back up to it again, I just want
- 7:04Speaker 1: to see that this isn't someone's paint on a wall,
- 7:07Speaker 1: because I know blood. But what I'm not smelling is
- 7:12Speaker 1: death or injury to another living thing's body. Now, to
- 7:18Speaker 1: add fuel to the fire, not even 15, 20 minutes ago,
- 7:23Speaker 1: a headless rabbit... No front paws. Hold on. Come on.
- 7:29Speaker 1: I don't understand. And I don't understand in so many
- 7:33Speaker 1: different ways because I know the hawks. I know the owls.
- 7:36Speaker 1: I understand that they are birds of prey and the
- 7:39Speaker 1: rabbit is on their list of things to be eaten
- 7:42Speaker 1: and to keep control of inside this forest. But never
- 7:45Speaker 1: in my 34 years inside this forest have I ever
- 7:49Speaker 1: seen a headless rabbit with no feet. The birds of
- 7:53Speaker 1: prey wouldn't eat like that. They're not going to eat
- 7:56Speaker 1: the head and leave the body. So I ask again,
- 8:01Speaker 1: what's going on in this forest? What is evolving that
- 8:08Speaker 1: I'm having a hard time understanding? And I'm that weird
- 8:12Speaker 1: guy who understands the transitions between the universe and earthly things.
- 8:19Speaker 1: I don't understand this. Jason, who lives up the street,
- 8:23Speaker 1: We kind of agree. This looks and sounds a lot
- 8:27Speaker 1: like something that a human would do. But why? Are
- 8:32Speaker 1: they preparing the rabbit's body for dinner? Well, if that's true,
- 8:36Speaker 1: then what was it doing out on the forest floor?
- 8:39Speaker 1: Which animal, including the human being, which animal has done
- 8:44Speaker 1: this to a beautiful, beautiful rabbit? I've been doing some
- 8:54Speaker 1: research about the headless rabbit and no front paws. You know,
- 8:59Speaker 1: I naturally think that it's the human being because we've
- 9:01Speaker 1: always loved the good luck of the rabbit paw. You
- 9:04Speaker 1: know what I'm saying? I mean, my entire childhood, I
- 9:06Speaker 1: couldn't wait to hold on to a rabbit's paw. And
- 9:09Speaker 1: then when I finally got one, I didn't feel comfortable
- 9:12Speaker 1: having it. And I always felt like that the rabbit's
- 9:15Speaker 1: paw gave me bad luck more than good luck because
- 9:19Speaker 1: one of the things that I learned as a martial
- 9:20Speaker 1: artist was was that you are to learn to love
- 9:23Speaker 1: all living things. And that means you're not keeping the
- 9:26Speaker 1: front paw of a rabbit. But I've been doing some research.
- 9:29Speaker 1: And the research does really go into detail as to
- 9:32Speaker 1: what could happen to this rabbit. Feral cats was at
- 9:36Speaker 1: the top of this list. A lot of cats will
- 9:39Speaker 1: go into that area because of the tissue, that it's
- 9:41Speaker 1: softer tissue. And I guess they get like a buzz,
- 9:45Speaker 1: a real honest to God buzz off eating the brain.
- 9:49Speaker 1: Oh my God, this is gross. But it's so true.
- 9:52Speaker 1: And even the hawk and the owls, they will do
- 9:55Speaker 1: things such as get the head first and then go
- 9:59Speaker 1: for the paws. never heard of any of this in
- 10:02Speaker 1: my life which just kind of adds even more freakiness
- 10:05Speaker 1: to why this would even make me a little bit
- 10:07Speaker 1: jumpy when i walk into the forest because i thought
- 10:10Speaker 1: maybe we had a rabbit killer on the loose This
- 10:14Speaker 1: is a true crime special. Who is killing the rabbits
- 10:18Speaker 1: of this beautiful forest in South Charlotte? And what would
- 10:22Speaker 1: Ernie do? Ernie would probably look at him and say, yo,
- 10:27Speaker 1: what do you think you're doing? My human friend here says,
- 10:31Speaker 1: learn to love all living things. And we all know
- 10:34Speaker 1: that in the animal kingdom, that is absolutely not true.
- 10:36Speaker 1: But a fox, a coyote, all of these animals, I
- 10:41Speaker 1: guess my lack of education when it comes to animal
- 10:48Speaker 1: survival has always taken my mind off from who eats
- 10:53Speaker 1: what first. And according to what I learned here, is
- 10:58Speaker 1: that a lot of times they'll eat the head first
- 11:01Speaker 1: and come back for the rest of the body, but
- 11:03Speaker 1: something scared the bird of prey, the coyote, or even
- 11:06Speaker 1: the feral cat away. The resurrection is a true story.
- 11:14Speaker 1: Learn more about it and the forest, as well as
- 11:17Speaker 1: my boy, Ernie, at arrow.net, A-R-R-O-E.net. His story, his journey,
- 11:23Speaker 1: his path, with a writing instrument, are available on the
- 11:25Speaker 1: podcast The Lyrics from Ernie's Forest. Future episodes of this
- 11:29Speaker 1: podcast will focus on the transition of materialistic value to
- 11:33Speaker 1: that of an authentic storyteller. The ice storms, a record-setting
- 11:37Speaker 1: 11 inches of snow, the fear of walking to the
- 11:40Speaker 1: gravesite to find nothing inside, the resurrection, faith, hope, forgiveness,
- 11:45Speaker 1: and discovery. What lessons will this writing instrument bring back
- 11:49Speaker 1: to the surface of walking forward? Let it rise above
- 11:53Speaker 1: our tears.
