Transcript

Q#1

SPEAKER_04 0:08

Just a few more moments for questions and we'll conclude the session. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 0:14

When you say that food never died and and consciousness post on, I I'm just wondering if it's mentioned there. Um does also, if my consciousness continues, does my sense of this particular identity always exist too? No matter what other consciousness I may also go to in the afterlife, whatever, can I always be aware of this particular one that I'm aware of now?

SPEAKER_04 0:39

That's exactly what reincarnation is all about. Just as the atom is immutable no matter what the scientist tries to do to him. The basic intelligences remain. But at this level of concept that I have now, I'm not forgetting. You're unaware of what it did if you have it.

Q#2

SPEAKER_04 1:06

Um the question is where does Rabbi Schumann um talk about the revelation of the system to be unless one of the in fact in this week's portion of the Zohar, he mentions, and we'll get into that, and the question of the letters. Um, and the other question is about Lego. Um in the Bible, for example, with Joseph's brothers, how you know their actions were punishable many generations later. And we are expected to be better than them. The chariots, the twelve signs of the zodiac, how can we compare to them? And look what they did.

unknown 1:55

Right.

SPEAKER_04 1:55

So in other words, once the Torah was created, it stopped. Well, we already said don't take the Bible literally. No, no, no. I'm no, I know, but I was just saying, but I'm talking about the concept of reggae not being applied in the Torah. Absolutely. Absolutely. But it there's a far deeper implication.

Q#3

SPEAKER_02 2:18

You talk about the the massive power of and power that can be happening. But where is the proof? I mean, who is using the power? Where is the proof?

SPEAKER_04 2:40

You're not referring to the cat, but you're saying, let's say, on a on a uh very elemental level. Um I kind of believe the book that was written. Uh behind the what was it, what was the name of that book, Sally? What's that?

SPEAKER_00 2:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 2:59

Well, anyway, let's say it's even fantasy at this point. But the Russians supposedly have devised a method by which they can uh uh transfer energy and uh kill somebody by having, let's say, an agent standing next to this, directing that cause of energy.

SPEAKER_02 3:24

That that's me is an ear thing.

SPEAKER_04 3:28

That's right. Let's say it's hearsay. Okay. You're asking me to give you uh a physical demonstration, let's say. And after you you physically expressed your thoughts, only one second later you realize what an awful mistake that was. Has that ever happened? Would you consider yourself very stupid? I'm not saying you're very bad, but you wouldn't consider yourself very stupid. I guess very few of you in this room would consider ourselves very stupid. Could you explain how that happened?

SPEAKER_01 4:26

Possibly not being aware of of all of the things one should have been aware of at the at the time to have made the decision.

SPEAKER_04 4:34

And this great revelation came one moment after it was physically expressed.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

Because you saw the the error of your first decision.

SPEAKER_04 4:42

And you couldn't see that before. Possibly not. But it happens often. How often are we stupid? In fact, we even say, how could I have been that stupid to have made that mistake? Have you ever said that? And you're classifying yourself as a stupid individual. Really not, but you're only asking a question. And I have an answer. Rather than remain with an unanswered question, I have an answer. There was a force that compelled you. We'll get into that in the aspect of reincarnation. You'll see that more vividly. Every time that happens, there was a force. There are forces in this universe. So tell me, so tell us our physicists. There are forces unseen. Once you penetrate the subatomic word, you are speaking of unseen forces. Is that correct? Now, why can't that exist on a personal level? Why must it only exist in the atom when 99% of me is what? Atoms. Then why can't it happen here? Why can't there be different forms of intelligence here as there can be in an atom? Since me is atom. Since me is thought, energy intelligence that physicists now come to realize as something very real and existing. Why should I question that by me it doesn't work? Why? When it works all around, there are unseen forces that seem to have a very strong control over us. Why should I question? There's too much in evidence today that if I can suppress my ego this much, suddenly I become aware of the fact that I'm not alone. But maybe there are forces out there that seemingly are dominating with the book of the forces, changes of personalities. There's so much overwhelming evidence to indicate of this thing called energy empowerment. There's just too much scientific evidence. You just can't throw it under the rug. They refuse to permit us that luxury. So we are only lame there. But we shouldn't consider ourselves on a higher level than our scientific boundroop chimeros.

Q#4 - "One Question"

SPEAKER_04 7:50

One question. Anyone who did not have a question. Yes.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

Um, in the beginning we were speaking of the Tower of Fable, and it was my understanding that you said that they had the force of loving their neighbor. And then you mentioned, though, that what they lacked was the concept of Rega. And I was just wondering what the difference.

SPEAKER_04 8:24

There was no restriction, I mean what they wanted everything. But there was no alternative but to love your neighbor. You know? Like I I'd like to have light in this room, but without a bulb, even though I have the electricity, I won't have light. I have no alternative but to assert the bulb there. It was a tool rather than a decision to compassion. There was no decision to compassion.
