0:00:00 - 0:00:22 I'd like to share with you some reasons that you are necessary in order for others to have access to greater truth. When I mean, when I say you, I, I mean, you, you as an individual, whoever it is that's watching this. Now, I'm just gonna share a few reasons. There are a lot of reasons, but these are 0:00:21 - 0:00:47 , these are actually responses to a question I received um from a person who was mentioning that in the past when he has shared my books with other people, he's, he's hasn't always gotten receptive responses. And so he, he sent me some, some of the uh the barriers that he's noticed in doing this and 0:00:47 - 0:01:16 my intent with this is to use his vehicle to help you see how you can overcome those barriers in ways that I can't. OK. So his first reason is that most people don't read books. This is true. So it's very unlikely that you or I will change that we're not going to launch some worldwide literacy campaign 0:01:15 - 0:01:42 . Um If it were possible, Levar Burton would have done it. Um But reading Rainbow only got us so far. So given that limitation, the question is how are people going to know about it if they're not willing to read? Well, the answer is through other people. That's the only answer. If they could have figured 0:01:41 - 0:02:03 it out on their own, they would have done that already. And so how many people do I know personally in the scope of things? Not that many, how many people do you know personally in the scope of things? Not that many. but what is the difference between the two sets? You know, an awful lot of people that 0:02:02 - 0:00:00 I don't know, you have credibility with an awful lot of people with whom I do not have credibility. And so you have the ability to convey information that you've learned from these books to people who aren't willing to read them. And that's going to be a recurring theme through some of these points. 0:00:00 - 0:02:43 Another comment he made is that for a lot of people, what's in the books is just too much to handle. Um There have been many comments from people about how rich the the information is. It's very dense and also some of the ideas are just too much for them to think about right now. I couldn't agree more 0:02:43 - 0:03:13 . So how are people going to experience this material in bite size chunks? If not for you people, like you can chop this material up into bite sized chunks and share it with people they can't handle more. Now, maybe that's taking what I wrote in two sentences and spreading it across an hour and a half 0:03:12 - 0:03:34 dinner conversation with your family or a, a weekend away with a friend. Maybe it will be through something more structured where you're actually creating materials that dive. Uh I want to say either dive deeper or maybe restructure things, uh subsets of ideas in ways that are much easier to understand 0:03:34 - 0:03:56 for people that maybe aren't ready for the big picture yet. You might just have incidental opportunities with people where you can share little snippets of, of these ideas and in ways where, where they can instantly apply them without needing to read any book or understand any huge log of information 0:03:55 - 0:04:19 . The next issue is he says, people look you up and find one thing you teach that they disagree with so that they can throw out everything you say. This was a really um perceptive point for him to make and let's tease this apart because there are a few elements here. I used to enjoy the anonymity of 0:04:19 - 0:04:41 not being googleable, but then I got canceled and that's forever gone. There are people who look up uh someone's name and they see some negative press or some accusation or whatever the misrepresentation may be and they will instantly dismiss that person. They won't look any further. But there are actually 0:04:41 - 0:05:01 people. And if you're watching this, you're one of them who aren't so close minded and they're willing to give someone a chance and actually see what they say, right, and then evaluate that separately. So it turns out that those people, people like you have a tremendous opportunity. You see uh the vessels 0:05:00 - 0:05:30 are always tainted, the the the messengers are always marred and the greater the truth that they reveal, the more marred they will be. Jesus was in the view of the public, the very last person that ever would have been the Messiah. This is really important to understand in our twisted modern ideas. We 0:05:30 - 0:05:56 really think a lot of people think that during his ministry, Jesus would have been uh an overtly religious, tighty, whitey kind of priest dude. And it couldn't be further from the truth. If you read The New Testament, you'll see this jumping out on every single page, the religious leaders of his time 0:05:55 - 0:06:22 felt that he was the absolute last person in the world who would be the son of God. They saw things about him that they thought were absolutely disqualifying from where he was born to how he was dressed to his physical body composition. They called him gluttonous, right to his who he hung out with uh 0:06:22 - 0:06:52 how his behavior was with these people. Um His interactions with with sinners, with women, with all these different things with lepers. He was absolutely marred, meaning he was considered ceremonially unfit for his duties. If it's true with him, it will be true with any one else to the extent they are 0:06:52 - 0:07:19 like him. So what happens is as you ascend in God's kingdom, you will have less access to people who are not ascending in God's kingdom. The the space of people that see the value in who you are and what you do will shrink. But the good that you can do increases through them, they will be looking for 0:07:19 - 0:07:46 light and truth that is not found in the town square. It's found in narrowing channels. And so you have the tremendous opportunity to be aware of greater light and truth than those around you. And to become a conduit in the hands of God and carrying it to them. I have all kinds of things that mar me 0:07:46 - 0:08:12 , you probably don't. But if you listen to the things that I'm teaching and you do them, you will have the blessing of being able to convey the information to others who accept your witness but will not accept mine. You will see this pattern played out again and again in the scriptures. Most importantly 0:08:11 - 0:08:36 and maybe most illustratively with John, the Baptist and Jesus John, the Baptist testified of Jesus. John, the Baptist was publicly accepted as a holy man. Jesus was not publicly accepted as a holy man and he used that witness of John to help people believe or be more willing to believe that he was from 0:08:36 - 0:08:59 heaven and that he had a higher mission and calling than John, the Baptist did. And he said you say you believe in John the Baptist, John, the Baptist testified of me. If you really believe in John the Baptist, you will also believe in me. This is a very important pattern and it's as much in play today's 0:08:58 - 0:09:30 has always been is the way it works. Truth is always hierarchically uh given and received. All right, this final point is a bit longer and I wasn't sure whether to break this off into another video or not because there's a lot to it. Um The comment is you use the vocabulary of a professor. Why? Thank 0:09:30 - 0:09:52 you. If I had a tie on, I'd tighten it up a little bit. My wife, I guess I did shave this morning, so I don't look as homeless. Um My wife commented that reading your books reminds her of studying a college textbook, www that I'm guessing is not a compliment. All right. So what's the deal with this now 0:09:51 - 0:10:21 ? Right up front? I freely admit that I am, I am assured that there is a clearer way to say pretty much anything I've ever said AAA clearer and a cleaner way. A briefer way maybe. Uh I think some of the things I say are quite dense already but one person, not the same person, someone said, um something 0:10:20 - 0:10:44 like you have a gift of finding the perfect word on the internet to describe the idea that you're trying to convey meaning. Um Yeah, great word except the whole world has to use a dictionary to look it up. Now. Um, I laugh about all this because, um, I, I perpetually will always think of myself as a 0:10:44 - 0:11:07 doofus and I wish that my vocabulary were 100 times what it is. And I'm constantly having people pointing out that I'm, I'm using words incorrectly or there are better words to use. And I, I really appreciate that it helps me communicate more clearly. Um But I do realize that what might be familiar words 0:11:06 - 0:11:32 for me are, are jargon to others or just kind of a uh an out of use word. I try not to use a fancy word to describe this idea. Um But I do want to shed some light on why that is and I'm doing this not so much to get sympathy points, but again, to illustrate the role that you can play to dramatically 0:11:32 - 0:11:57 assist others in having access to greater light than they otherwise would we are not all the same. We all have unique opportunities here on earth were placed in our lives by an all knowing God. He knows exactly what's up and he puts us in the places we need to be to reach people that might not have any 0:11:56 - 0:12:38 other access to the things that we value. So the way this works and I've described it before, maybe in other words, but the work that I do is diving into chaos and grabbing up uh ideas that are not natively expressed in human language. And I come up with an initial representation of what are at first 0:12:37 - 0:13:01 separate ideas. And these churn and churn and churn and that's not a passive process. It's an extraordinarily involved intentional process and they churn and churn and churn over thousands of pages of notes and the representations are, are built up and torn down and reformed. And it's this evolution 0:13:00 - 0:13:28 , this network, this hierarchy of, of iterative uh re representation of ideas. And um I'm just constantly redesigning and refining the ideas until they make more and more sense to other people and filling in these gaps going back into the chaos. Querying more and more. And uh it's, it's quite an ordeal 0:13:27 - 0:13:56 . It's a very common thing for me to spend maybe a week on two pages of text. Sometimes I'll, I'll, I'll fly and just uh write out 5 to 10 pages of text in two hours. But there's a lot of grueling crawling to get this stuff processed in a way that makes sense to other people. Now, a lot more could be 0:13:56 - 0:14:19 said to try to describe that. But you probably get the gist in doing this for years and years and years every morning and most of the day on weekends, I've actually become more fluent in that language, that language of, of spirit, you could call it than I am in English. And I, I know Spanish as well 0:14:19 - 0:14:52 , but I know English better than Spanish at this point. And so translating that into English is not easy. The language that I receive and develop these ideas in is much richer. It's the difference between heaven and earth. And so um doing this translation work, it's having 1 ft in the sea of chaos and 0:14:52 - 0:15:21 1 ft on the land and my mind and my heart and my body become a conduit like uh having your hands on a high voltage wire, one hand on a high voltage wire and one hand on a light bulb. And um that's not a comfortable role. It's exhausting. And so I iterate again and again, until when the, I just released 0:15:21 - 0:15:49 this book, um when the book comes out, it reflects the best that I can do for now. And so every single word on every single page is as far as I can think to get it. I don't know how to make it any better. And that's when I publish a book when I don't know how to make it any better. Now, you read these 0:15:49 - 0:16:08 books and you say, man, there's, I found an egregious typo or you used a, a completely incorrect word here or your grammar in this sentence is terrible or why didn't you just say it in this really simple way? I get what you're saying. You could have just said this. Well, let's start with that last one 0:16:07 - 0:16:35 . First, you're seeing a process that, that might be 15 years in the making, but you're seeing it with fresh eyes, I've been staring at that idea. I've been crawling through that idea for 15 years, potentially. Right? And uh you get to the point where there's just not anything else, you can do a, a mix 0:16:35 - 0:17:00 of just incapacity and complete exhaustion. So, if you have better ideas on how to say it, my email is upper thought at gmail.com. Send me your suggestion and uh I will absolutely take it seriously. And if, if I feel like it expresses what I was trying to say in a better clear way, I'm absolutely gonna 0:16:59 - 0:17:23 change the text to reflect your suggestion. It's just weighed against all the other things that I need to do and I have very limited time to do them. So, but as far as the typos and everything else, it's usually just blinders because I've been over it so many times and uh many thanks to the kind people 0:17:22 - 0:17:43 who volunteer their time to look over this, send me typos to send me uh suggestions on things that that could be confusing could be clear. Uh Who suggest other wordings. Those are all very helpful. Um So I understand your frustration as you're reading this and you're just like, man, why is this so complicated 0:17:42 - 0:18:22 at the same time, at the same time? Um There is an absolute limit to how simply some ideas can be conveyed. Uh If you wanted to help someone understand how a car works to the point where they could reproduce a car. You can't do that in 255 characters or less. You can't do it in a Tik Tok video. You can't 0:18:22 - 0:18:54 do it in a meme. It's gonna take some highly technical words, right? And, and some space and some diagrams. So um one of the enormous blessings we have in the end times is that there's a greater degree of literacy than ever before on this planet. I'm not just talking about basic ability to read and write 0:18:53 - 0:00:00 . I'm talking also about ability to think. Now we're in this little weird blip and it's fading. It's evaporating in real time because people are getting dumber and dumber by the minute and that's by design. But we're in this little blip where we're at the apex, right? The generations are still here. 0:00:00 - 0:19:48 They're at the apex in order to understand 100% of the things that I'm teaching about and the things that the Lord is revealing through me, you have to be able to understand complicated things. Not everyone is willing to do that and not everyone is capable of doing that. But the people who can't or won't 0:19:47 - 0:20:22 will be served by the people who can and will and that is your gift. That is the blessing that the Lord is, is holding out for you. So um there's more that I could say about that. I have a few pages of notes here and I'm just cruising through here to see if I've missed anything material. So I mentioned 0:20:21 - 0:20:46 feedback and helping me make things better. But a very important piece of this is you giving the easier versions to other people. So you could decide to read a chapter in through faith, for example, and put all that into your own words. I'm not saying, go through the chapter and line by line, put it 0:20:46 - 0:21:07 in your own words. I mean, read the chapter distill the ideas that you think are most important to you and then make your own video where you talk about that idea in your own words, or share those things with someone else over dinner or in a phone call or whatever the case may be, teach them to your 0:21:07 - 0:21:36 kids and in doing that, you can transmit these things to people that would not otherwise have them. I know that there's an awful lot that I say that can be expressed in much more concise or clear ways. And I'd go as far as to guess that you could probably say 80% of what I do in 20% of the space. However 0:21:35 - 0:22:00 , what you would miss out on is that that 20%. And like I said, that is going to be critical to some people in our day. I think quite a few people, in fact, one of the challenges that I face in breaking things down and I, I tried to describe how the environment in which I receive these things is much 0:22:00 - 0:22:25 different than this environment in which I convey them. But uh I if you imagine having the eyes of an eagle, I don't know if you've looked into that. But if you have the eyes of an eagle, you have a, a much greater bandwidth of information, you can read AAA novel, the, the print of a novel from across 0:22:24 - 0:22:46 a football field. So birds of prey, they get overwhelmed because they have, they're exposed to such a volume of information. This is why falconers will put hoods over birds to calm them down. Because otherwise those eyes are just constantly scanning and seeing everything. When you have ideas networked 0:22:46 - 0:23:09 at that level of awareness, it's excruciatingly difficult to say something in a simple way when it's not a simple idea because in your mind, you understand it because you understand the links between that idea and 2 million other things at a very deep level. And so to say even a little bit, you have 0:23:09 - 0:23:32 to say a lot, no. If you're a student of the scriptures, you know that it's not an uncommon thing for people who have great awareness to be described as, as quote slow speech or to have some kind of a, a speech impediment. And it's not that, that those people have a lisp or whatever they, they mumble 0:23:31 - 0:23:54 . That's not what that means to be slow of speech is another way of saying it takes them an awful lot of time to say an awful little amount of, of information. That's, that's actually a mystery that maybe you didn't understand before. But now you do. And this is why now you, you might know someone who's 0:23:54 - 0:24:10 like this. I, I know a person who you might know too. Maybe, I don't know, maybe we run in the same circles but, um, he has complained to me before about being long winded. I said, I don't think you're long winded at all. I don't know how you would compress what you're saying anymore than you, you're 0:24:10 - 0:24:30 already doing. I don't know how that would be possible. You're drawing on this network of understanding that's, that's broad and deep and you're trying to convey an idea by querying that entire network and reducing it down to the smallest, most concise package that fully encircles everything that you 0:24:30 - 0:24:54 need to know, to understand the idea that itself could probably be expressed more concisely, right? But, but ironically, it's, this is exactly what we're talking about. So uh hopefully that, that helps you better appreciate this role that you have this opportunity that you have to carry the water to 0:24:54 - 0:25:17 the end of the row, to access people that I do not have access to, to share the these things with people who absolutely will not receive it from me and to become a blessing and a tool in the hands of the Lord to help people receive greater light and truth than they otherwise would. So I acknowledge all 0:25:16 - 0:25:27 of these things, these limitations that this person sent me and all of those are actually opportunities for you to do what I can't do.
