Episode 13: Decoding Violence: Understanding Its Roots Through Faith and Wisdom

Welcome, fellow humans born onto the nursery planet Earth. This is the why Are we here on Earth podcast, and I am your host, ta. Are we here on earth podcast, and I am your host, ta. There are a couple of things that I want to go over every time I start this, and the first one is do not believe what I am trying to tell you. Use it as grist for the mill, try your best to disprove it, and if you can't accept that, the possibility exists that I might be correct. Now I know everything else that you hear from.

Every other human on earth will be trying to convince you to their point of view, and I understand that's how you will be listening to me, but try your best In the back of your mind wait a minute, he said not to just agree with him, to try and work on it and to figure it out. So that is my first entreaty for you. The second is pretty much the same, and that is we need to have the Bible translated from the original sources, not to make it easier for us as though we were four-year-olds, but to return the complexity that was originally written in by the original authors. The complexity is important. A few weeks ago I mentioned Elohim and that has been translated out of all but two of the English translations that are still available to us the Names of God translation and the Old Jewish Bible translation. So perhaps for now you want to look up the OJB or Old Jewish Bible translation to get a little closer to what it is that we were God was trying to get across to us.

The important thing to understand that there is much, much more out there that we are aware of and pay attention to, because our method for making decisions is completely traditional. It was handed down to us and has not changed from Genesis 3. Eve made a decision that something looked good and, as our tradition tells us, seeing is believing. Well, that's correct, but that's not true. And what's the difference? It's correct. Seeing does lead you to believe. You perceive it through a built-up perceptive lens that you have worked on your entire life. So, yes, you believe it because of that. But belief is a very flimsy thing. As soon as your perspective changes, your belief might change.

I had a Bible study this morning and a gentleman who was trained even went to college, for as a, he went to Oral Roberts. So as a, I can't remember what they call those folks who think that they know what the Bible is saying, but they have very specific beliefs, and this morning he actually had one of those beliefs change because enough of us were discussing it from a different point of view, that he was prepared, when he read the Bible, to see it from a different point of view, and because of that you know that A learning is possible and two development is intentional, and two development is intentional we are supposed to develop. Well, I don't want to get in too much about another Bible study, but the fact of the matter is that we are the ones on the learning end, the short end, and we have put ourselves on the short end by not using what God gave us for a decision matrix. We use our own, and because of that we are not aware of an awful lot of the information intent that is in the Bible for us. Information intent that is in the Bible for us, the different authors that are listed in the Bible is done with their names, so that you know that this is coming from their individual point of view.

Some people want to say well, if it's in the Bible, it's got to be correct. It is correct, but you're not getting it. You're looking at it from your point of view, james looked at it from his point of view, paul looked at it from his point of view and, because of that, if you assume their point of view and assume that you are correct, if you assume their point of view and assume that you are correct, you have washed out at least three levels of the Bible, because the Bible is instructions to us from God through them. So not only the context of the times, but the context of the individual and their perspective is something that you need to try and unravel, to get closer to say, hmm, why did God want us to have this information? And eventually you will come to the conclusion that it's there to develop you and your understanding of what it is that God wants for all of humanity and you as an individual. And you don't need to worry about getting it all. All you need to work on is what's in front of you. Again from that Bible study, and I don't want to of view Again from that Bible study, and I don't want to be on it too long.

This morning's Bible study we had a gentleman who was an insurance executive and who got an incurable quote, unquote kind of cancer of the blood, leukemia and so, basically, he was just supposed to accept that and get his affairs and orders and die, and he did not. He went to a very famous cancer clinic and they told him that the three methods that were approved by insurance were not for him, and that is surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. None of these were good for him, they wouldn't work, and so he went to the insurance company and he said there are several other ways, and one of them is immunotherapy, and they tell me that this is the best possible outcome for me. And of course, the insurance company said nope, that's experimental, we're not paying for it. So, because he was an insurance executive and he knew what could be done, he went through and jumped through all the hoops, but he also made them jump through their own hoops until immunotherapy was considered an approved solution. Now it cost his insurance company $13,000 a month for him to get this, $15,000 a month for him to get this. They did it, though, because he proved that it was not outside what they had promised to do in their insurance. I don't know if they've changed the insurance from now, but they've definitely changed their attitude, because it is now an accepted way of fighting disease and because of this gentleman and others like him, I'm sure the rest of the world has benefited by seeing this as something that is not only possible but something that may actually have benefits but something that may actually have benefits, and the insurance companies now are willing to pay for at least some sections of it.

Well, this was a three or four-year battle that this gentleman went through, but in August he received news that there is no longer any cancer in his blood, is no longer any cancer in his blood. And even the physicians say we cannot explain why this happened. We don't have any knowledge of how this could have happened. We were fighting it, but we did not expect to have a complete outcome. We expected you to be able to live better as you fought this and eventually died from it. So they learned something new.

Everybody, because this gentleman fought, did not accept what was ordained by those around him. He overcame the challenge that he was given because his perspective was the glass is not half empty or half full. The fact that God gives us a glass is enough for me to work on and for me to fight, and he did, and he overcame all kinds of obstacles. It's in Jeremiah. I give you these challenges so that you may overcome them, and he did so. We're studying in that class, 1 Thessalonians 5. And you'll find in the Bible 1 Thessalonians 5, everything from 12 through 24, I think is encouragement for the Thessalonians in that first letter. But 20 through 22 are the things that I have taken mainly from that area, and that is trust the Lord, your God, with all your heart, mind and soul, which is in Solomon, solomon's writing in Proverbs.

But also test everything. Keep what is good. So you are not supposed to just lay down and accept. You are not supposed to just believe because your brother or sister believes. You are supposed to test everything that you are given and to hold on to what is good. That has worked for me throughout my lifetime, because I have never felt that just because an authority figure said something, it was gold. Any human that tells you anything is from their point of view. Now, the closer their point of view is to God's point of view, the more opportunities for it to be not only something that's correct but something that will help you in your life. But you have no way of knowing that unless you know the individual. So test everything and hold on to what is good. Pray without ceasing. And hold on to what is good, pray without ceasing. You can't really beat this for information for people that want to find out more about what God had in mind for us.

I find that there's a common misconception. I don't know if maybe that's not the best way to put it, but people don't realize Paul was writing and telling us that everything on earth and this is in Ephesians 2, is the purview of the evil, one of the evil one. We are on a playing field, a combat field, if you would. This is what the RPG player, the video game players, this is what they should understand, but don't, because they just assume it's them and it's not just them. All of humanity is on a field of play and the responding that the video game players do. They respond with the same attitudes that they died with, and so they will die again until they change their attitudes and pick up what they need in order to win the video game, and that's great. But then they okay, I've been there, I've done that and they go on to a different video game and learn the different perspectives that they have, which have been changed slightly, and they learn to deal with more video games from different video game designers, but they may not be getting the big picture, and that is that you are meant to overcome obstacles in order for you to develop, which is what they're doing. But they're developing as video game players and not necessarily realizing that they are developing as humans for the rest of the world, because they put themselves right back into video game mode.

But the video games are a response to reality and any response that you have can be a tutorial. You need to understand that God is above and we are here below with the opportunity to try to understand and access God's point of view about humanity. Don't get lost in the game so much that you don't realize it, that it is a game and that you are a player on the field, but that field ends at a certain point. You may not look into the stands, but they're there. Beyond the stands, beyond the stadium, there's a whole reality going on that you don't think about when you're playing on the field, but it still exists. There's more than the locker rooms. There's more than the stadium. There's more than what is beyond. The reality is beyond, but if you don't look up and try and figure out, all right. What am I doing here? Why am I here? The three big things that the Bible told us that we were supposed to work on and that God gave us a day off at the end of the week to work on. Who are you? What are you and why are you here on Earth, specifically, are the three big things.

When I start my program, I always say welcome, fellow humans born onto the nursery planet Earth. And that's exactly what it is. It is a nursery planet for humanity. According to people whose ancestors actually spoke with God, we have another 216 years to respond to our opportunity and figure things out, and that's in a week or so. That'll go down to 215 years. But if we're not working on it, then we're not going to get anywhere. And that's what this podcast is about to encourage you to work on what is around you and figure out why it's here, why you're here.

If this becomes a natural topic of conversation, if this becomes something that everyone is working on instead of their petty. Joe did this to me and I'm going to do this to him to get back to him, and this group of people is always superior to me, so I want to get back at them. If this gets you out of that very human, very animalistic point of view, then it's good, because you need to rise above that and figure out what's going on. You will also need to figure out why you have those feelings about that individual or that group of people and why you feel justified to have that. And that again is in Ephesians 2, where Paul tells us that we are on the planet of the evil, one with the opportunity to rise above it, and yet we seldom choose to do so. We live on the planet, we take what is given to us, we operate with it without looking up, without figuring all right, why am I given these opportunities? We just say, yeah, I overcame it. So I'm a hero? Not necessarily. You're a hero if you can spread it to other people and if you get them to look up as well.

So I'm going to tell you some things and I've told you in the past. I will tell you things from a point of view that you do not have and that you cannot see, because you've been raised completely and totally in the human point of view. You make only right turns to get where you think you need to go and you don't realize everything that is on the other side of reality, because you've never tried to investigate that. Well, science tells us. God tells us through science that reality exists, whether we perceive it or not, whether we deal with it or not, it will eventually deal with us.

The fact that we're on a nursery planet and that most of reality is kept at bay while we take the opportunity to develop is something that he has told us through the Bible but that we have ignored. We think, oh, we've got all the time in the world. We can do whatever we want, whatever our neighbors will allow us to do, whatever won't get us in trouble. But it's all about you and about your perspective and your perception and what you want to do. And yet our prime example of what humanity was intended for, jesus, said when he was getting ready to die, and even though he didn't want to, he said you know, take this cup from me, I can stay here and do a lot more good. And yet he got no answer to that because his path was foreordained. And at the end he said not my will, but thy will be done, because God sees the bigger picture. And when you're in the trenches you may see that you can do a lot, but the bigger picture is not up to you. It's up to you to faithfully respond and go forward and do all that you can, but realize that God is at the controls and the only thing you can do is try to develop yourself and your brothers and sisters around you so that they look up to God instead of looking forward only to each other and to what each other represents.

So the things that I intend to tell you are from God's perspective, from a scientific, a realism perspective, but it goes back to the original translations of the Bible that have been kept from you, and some would say intentionally, others would say not, but it has been kept from you. So the Elohim, the original translation, is it was a senior council of gods and that there are more gods than we perceive or allow. But we only have one God, one true God, and he is the God that was chosen and assigned to us and we have been born onto this earth through his perceptive I don't know how to say it exogenesis. He is the conduit through which we were created here on earth. I don't really know how to express it better, but God exists. We could not exist without God and he is the reason that we are here on earth. The human body that you think of as belonging naturally to you is because you were born into it. But again, you'll have to go back to the old Jewish Bible now to understand that what is translated as the breath of life was actually the spirit of life.

The fact of the matter is that science tells us these bodies have been around materially the same for about maybe 15 to 50,000 years in our past. Well, why such a large amount of time? Because there was no one around to record anything, and the only way that we can record the changes is through what happened to the bodies, the DNA and what happened on the face of the planet. Now we know that over that time period and we're not really good about the amount of years that went by, but the bodies that we inhabited transformed materially and very, very significantly. We do not know why. We can only assume that it was in response to what was available on the planet and we think naturally we don't think that some other source of information and effect necessarily had anything to do with it. But we do realize that whatever happened, and however it happened, it happened very significantly over a period of time that we can't really determine, but that it more than likely happened a minimum of 15,000 years ago. And since that time our bodies have only changed in the ways that we can discern from what has happened, because over the last 12,000 years at least, we have some history from other societies that was recorded.

We didn't always get all of the information and certainly not as specific as we'd like, but we do realize that things happened and that someone from 15,000 years ago was born, would look at our bodies and not feel in any way, shape or form repulsed. They would think of us as human. Whether it was from the Neanderthal or the Cro-Manion aspects, we would still be seen as human, our bodies at least as human. Our bodies, at least. Our souls, are a bit different matter. We really don't know when our soul was added to the body. We don't know whether or not although this is pretty much what the Bible says that our souls were superimposed on our animal perspective, and that is where the what the conflict comes from.

According to Paul and this is something that I think he was 100% accurate on once I look back and read everything that he did Remember he called himself super Jew because he had studied so deeply into the Jewish religion and faith and the information that came to him through that, even though he was transformed on the road to Damascus as far as his intent was concerned, the information that he had and everything he brought with him to the party at that point information that he had and everything he brought with him to the party at that point he relied on. But he looked at it from a different perspective, and that perspective is that the world, earth that we are on, the planet that we are on, belonged to the evil one, and he's only the evil one, because he set his own sights against God's directives, our God, humanity's God and chose to fight against God and to say that no, I understand, I originally accepted that you would come and you would improve the bodies and you would improve everything that was here, but he did not visualize that God would be superseding his influence on us, that we would not really be his any longer, and he has fought to retain supremacy over humanity, even though it's only our bodies that he has supremacy over and even though God outlined this for him at the outset and he agreed to it. He changed at the outset and he agreed to it. He changed. He decided he wanted to have supremacy over everything that God introduced, as well as the planet and the body. Well, that is why we are having so many issues, because he wants us to fail as God's children and remain as his.

And this is the point at which we diverge. God realizes that some of those that he has introduced to this planet as human and given the opportunity to grow and succeed will not make it. They will stay on the planet. The meek will inherit the earth, and that's just the way it's going to be. Not everyone will succeed, but God wants us all to have as many opportunities to overcome our foundation, if you will, in the body and respond to our spirit and our soul and to go forward, because that is what he is here training us for.

And again, we have a certain period of time to respond to the opportunity to overcome our physical tied down-ness and I realize it's inelegant, but we are physically situated on this planet. If we're emotionally situated on this planet, then we have a lot more to learn. If we're spiritually tied to this planet, then we will stay here and not go with God when the opportunity comes. But for those of us who will respond and will overcome our beginnings and will be available to go with God when the opportunity comes, we will have that thing that he has promised us and which we have not really understood. Again, it's in Jeremiah, and I believe it's Jeremiah 29, 11 or 12. I'd have to look that up. He has great things in mind for us once we overcome our muddy feet here on planet Earth, once we respond to the opportunity and look at humanity and our opportunity from God's perspective. This is you can call it a playground, or you can call it a field of battle, or you can just look at it as the playing field and mix the two, and not just on Sundays when you're watching the NFL version of football, but all throughout, all time. This has been our playing field and our opportunity to overcome what we have been given and see the light that shines from above that we can respond to and adhere to and develop not only ourselves but our brothers and sisters.

Just as I mentioned earlier about the insurance executive who forced the insurance companies to cover his treatment, even though their first, their knee-jerk reaction was no, we don't need to pay for that, and he showed them through their own process, where they had promised to at least adhere to the possibility that something new would come along and to fund an investigation into that. And he was part of that. And because they did, immunotherapy is now the fourth method for working at cancer. There are other ways that are not yet quite accepted and paid for by insurance natural therapy ways but we are open to them now because when radiology came along, okay, we accepted that that was a method for dealing with it. When chemotherapy came along, we went okay, I guess that is a method for dealing with it. When immunotherapy finally came along, now we realize in 2024 that that is a method for dealing with it, and there may be other methods for prolonging our life in our bodies and giving us even more opportunities to respond, so that we can see our way forward into the future, to what God has in mind for us.

Well, I see that I've come upon my time, so I'm going to take it at this point to end things, but always remember you are here on earth to respond to the opportunities you're given and to overcome the obstacles set in front of you. That's in Jeremiah. Also Read the Bible. Read Jeremiah. That's in Jeremiah. Also read the Bible. Read Jeremiah.

I mean Jeremiah was. He basically reported straight from God what he understood and you got to realize it. From that point of view, god had to set him down eventually, because he thought he was special, because God told him he had selected him before he was born, and he thought oh well, that makes me special among all these other humans. And God had a love note. You are still human. You have the opportunity to respond and you have the opportunity to report what I tell you.

But that does not make you better than the other humans that you live with. It just gives you an opportunity that the others don't have, and that's the message. You are human. You are here on earth with all your brothers and sisters. You have the opportunity to respond and to enlighten them about what they're facing and going to face. I've told you before that this point of view is from God, but it will illuminate our future if we choose to use it. Leds instead of incandescents, leds instead of incandescents. So the world is changing and hopefully you're changing with it, but there's so much more ahead of you that your human point of view has not prepared you for. Use God's way to make decisions. Use logic, manipulated reason and then checked by wisdom, to see what the path forward for you should be, and always remember to ask yourself who are you, what are you and why are we all here on Earth? Thank you very much.
