 Sometimes people have an idea that that journey to God would be a very sacrificial You know, like what am I got to give up for lent? You know, we've had memories of giving up giving up giving up It's gonna cost me. I'm gonna have to pay a price. I'm not gonna have any fun You know, I'm gonna to be like like a priest or a nun and it's just not gonna be fun at all That has not been my experience. I have to tell you for the last 25 years since I've worked with the course I've had a lot of fun and It just gets stronger and stronger. It's very playful. It's very joyful. It's not limited in any way, so You know, you can you find yourself meeting people like I share the parable one time. I was in Utah and I love music this way I really got into spirituality kind of like Ken Watnick got in through the music and so did I and I love music so much that the spirit would speak to me for decades through music That's where I got my messages mostly before I got into studying metaphysics, of course and one time I was in Utah and A friend of mine said well, I'm good friends with the man who invented Dolby Inventor of Dolby Wow Dolby, that's all movie theaters. I mean, it's just a mess Invention that's been used by humankind in a major way. Don't be stereo And she said yeah, he lives he lives right here in in Heber City Heber City, Utah, you know right here. He's retired. That's over this wife. So She said yeah, I'll take take you to meet him. So I go there Beautiful he's got his hair. He's got these big like lamb chop sideburns, you know from like back in the 70s And I'll go in their house and then he takes me through the house and It's almost like going through the Smithsonian Institute of Sound because he's won so many awards Just walking through the corridors. There's just so many awards everywhere. It's just I've never seen so many music awards And then he takes me down to where he does all his inventing and he Shows me the schematics of the latest project. He's working on and this is highly technical I mean he's getting all these electronic schematics as downloads from the Holy Spirit Like Mozart would take down music entire concertos He'd get the whole concerto in like one instant and then he'd have to Scurry to write the whole thing out because it was such a huge download shows you the power of the miracle So he's talking to me about this. She showed me all the schematics telling me about his new projects And then he said come on. I've built in my basement the ultimate sound room So the inventor of Dolby's built the ultimate sound we go down there and I mean there's the speakers all over the wall and He takes me by the hand. He says come on takes me by the shoulders. He said come on. I'm gonna put you in the sweet spot So I'm on the I'm in the ultimate sound room on earth Why the inventor of Dolby and he's got me by the shoulders and he's put me down in one specific Chair that he says is in the sweet spot I'm just like Okay Goes back my friend AC Carol's sits in right next to me right next to the sweet spot And he starts cranking up the music and he's playing like and yeah, and he's playing like that song What's the one it's just it's a beautiful beautiful song about It about the illusions and it's like oh really deep song but this guy's into all these deep metaphysical songs glorious songs and then as he keeps It was oh is that one you can relax now Susan McCullum number of artists he plays you can relax them and I'm in the sweet spot So it's like the whole room starts to go on me and everything and he just plays one song after another In fact, AC is like she's whooping sounds like she's having an orgasm or something. She's next to the sweet spot And she's There was a lot of happy sounds going there and and so then just when I'm kind of totally blissed out He this the curtain is opening. It's a it's a it's a movie theater and it's It's Sarah Brightman and who's the one from The things with her Chilly it's Sarah Brightman and the jelly I'm gonna go jelly down somewhere Maybe in South America at nighttime in some it's some film concert And so now there's all the visuals of those two voices Those two voices with all the colors and night time and everyone's just it's the presence of God It's just so strong and I mean I was just absolutely Transported now that's what I mean by the use of symbols and you give your life over to the Holy Spirit to Jesus That's where I found myself and it was absolutely the most Supporting kind of experience using sound and visuals as well Was using images and sounds to just take you way way way way up and that's what we're all entitled We are entitled to miracles. We are entitled to let the spirit use the symbols in a way Where we surrender the control of them and it just takes us into higher and higher states of mind And then I've had three revelatory experiences where the veil of the world completely disappeared And I went into what is called the Great Rays or it's called revelation Actually at the beginning of the text and that was just a total non perceptual Experience it was just blazing light almost like the whole screen of the world just burned away You know like when you're in a movie theater and the film the old film used to burn And then the whole screen would just go into blazing light And the images would be gone. That's kind of a metaphor. So that's why we do this. That's why we're having these Miracles just so we can be taken into a state of revelation or you might say revelation readiness because he does say in the course Revelation won't come into your experience if you're too afraid of it He says you have to wait you have to have miracles to prepare the way so that revelation is more Beatific than traumatic You see the use of beatific than traumatic. He doesn't want us to scare ourselves and freak out He doesn't want us to be hurled. He says you won't be hurled into heaven. So that's what this is about It's really what we're going for here
