0:00:00 - 0:00:22 All right. So lately I've gotten a couple of messages from folks saying things like, hey, thanks for doing these videos. I'm super busy and I can listen to this and it's much more convenient to me than reading books. Um convenient for me. I want to highly discourage you from sending me messages like 0:00:22 - 0:00:55 that uh or making comments like that. If that's the case, that's fine and use it to your advantage. But uh here's why you shouldn't say things like that to me. Um So there are rules that come with uh well, everything that comes from God. Um And um as far as revealing things goes, there are specific rules 0:00:54 - 0:01:27 and um we read, for example, in Alma 12, what some of those rules are and what is given has to be bounded by the heat and diligence of the people to whom it's given. And uh because of what I do and how I do it, I have certain liberties in this, but I am bound by rules and principles. Um And so, uh I 0:01:27 - 0:01:51 have reasons by which I'm able to make these videos. Uh and I have to do things in a certain way and I have to keep things in a certain place in my priority list for each day. And I have to pay prices that aren't, you know, none of this is visible to the outside or understandable uh to others, which 0:01:51 - 0:02:13 is fine. It doesn't need to be, I mean, the mechanism by which I do these things in these rules by which I'm bound. But, um, when you say, hey, I'm not willing to sacrifice the time required to read the books you've written. So I'm glad you're making these videos because it's a way I can access at least 0:02:13 - 0:02:39 some of that without making the sacrifice to read the books that is providing evidence, which makes it more difficult for me to continue doing this. So even if it's true, you should keep that to yourself. Uh things that make it easier to make these videos are things like, hey, uh I read what you wrote 0:02:38 - 0:02:58 about that topic and I heard you say something and it was orthogonal, but in a weird way, it catalyzed greater understanding. So because of this video, I understand topic x better than I did even though I read what you wrote about it in this one book or I've read all your books. Um But I never understood 0:02:58 - 0:03:15 this in, in that way or I don't really remember you talking about this and this is great, you know, stuff like that is, is in the column of evidence for why I should continue to do this. Um, the best reason of all would be, uh, I didn't really have a reason to believe there's anything worth reading in 0:03:15 - 0:03:40 your books. And I saw this video and it's given me evidence to suggest that maybe that'd be worth my time and I'm not a reader, but I'm going to read this book anyway. Ok. So here's some serious stuff. So, um, with that disclaimer, a caveat that emphasis there will come a time when you do not have access 0:03:39 - 0:04:03 to things like these videos, there will come a time when there's no internet, there will come a time when there's no electricity, there will come a time where channels like this, I don't mean youtube channels specifically, but that's included, uh media channels are closed to these types of messages that 0:04:02 - 0:04:24 is going to happen. And unless you're going to die really soon, you will live to see it happen. And maybe that sounds like a crazy thing to say, but it probably seemed crazy when I told you several years ago that quote, a super flu from China was coming. So uh with evidence comes reasons to believe I'm 0:04:24 - 0:04:45 telling you this. And I know this, I told you guys who read, you know, the readers of my blog, I told you many times that it would not be around in its present form forever. And uh when I decided to pull the posts that I did, uh you know, there was this big surprise. I told you exactly what was gonna 0:04:45 - 0:05:07 happen before I did. I'm telling you that if your level of sacrifice to God to learn more about Him, consistent of listening to something in the background while you go about your day, you're not going to make it. I'm just telling you that right now. And the goal when I say make it, I don't mean survive 0:05:07 - 0:05:27 . Although I know a lot of people, that's where their heart is. I'll just tell you right now, heaven is an acquired taste. And uh if you're at that level of sacrifice, you're not gonna want to be around when the dust settles, it's not gonna be what you consider in your mind. What heaven would be like 0:05:26 - 0:05:53 , it, it will not be attractive to you. But uh it's time when I say you're not running fast enough. You know, if you had the slightest idea of what it takes to write this stuff, you'd see how ridiculous it is to say, I don't have time to read it. Uh The ratio is enormous of cost to write versus cost 0:05:53 - 0:06:18 to read. So every time you say things like that, you're invoking the justice of God against you. And I advise you not to do that because there's only so much someone can pay to intercede for that. And when you exceed that capability, you have to be cut off and it's not a punishment thing. It's just the 0:06:18 - 0:06:42 spirit of God cannot strive with man beyond a certain point, it violates the laws of heaven. So, so there's two points to this one. Don't send me these messages saying thanks for making it easier for me to access this stuff through videos because I'm not willing to pay the price to do it fully. And two 0:00:00 - 0:00:22 All right. So lately I've gotten a couple of messages from folks saying things like, hey, thanks for doing these videos.

And two 0:06:41 - 0:07:02 , it's time to be willing to pay the price. There's only so much you can receive without paying the price. So take that to heart, there's a book coming out on the justice of God and that will explain these things more fully. But um you've been warned.
