00:23:01.700yeah jesus he was a construction worker jesus with his legal father joseph they built houses
00:23:07.060yeah it's not very many skinny construction workers that's you know that's the cesare
00:23:10.580border that's the skinny you know the skinny guy with the goatee that wasn't jesus right
00:23:14.500right right was a big burly guy who was kicking apparently he was kind of intimidating you notice
00:23:19.860that you know no one ever like tried to take on jesus physically until they had like a group with
00:23:23.700them you know during during gethsemane i love that idea where they're like yeah not not 1v1
00:23:29.380i'm not shooting the one with jesus go get the boys bro we're not doing this 1v1 that's crazy
00:23:35.540i love that oh man so so getting back to forgiveness so what forgiveness is it's not again
00:23:40.900it's not saying it's okay saying you're not going to take out vengeance because as i was saying
00:23:43.780before that's our natural inclination somebody does something to me i'm going to get you back
00:23:49.380but what but again there's two problems with that number one if you get them back it may it may be
00:23:54.660less than they deserve, which means, you know, they're not getting what they really get, or
00:23:58.380maybe more than they deserve, in which case you're on the wrong side of justice and God has to equal
00:24:02.320out that justice with you. Let's say that, you know, on a scale of one to 10, what they did
00:24:06.140to you was a six, you pay them back at a nine. Well, that's a deficit. God's got to make up for
00:24:10.740that and say, okay, now you're on the wrong side of justice. Now I got to smack you around to equal
00:24:14.160things out. What you're doing is basically saying, you know what, I'm not going to take vengeance on
00:24:18.660you. I'm giving you to God and he's going to take care of you. But of course the downside of that is
00:24:23.920we don't always see it and we want to see the person who hurt us get hurt but we may not see
00:24:29.540that let's say you you know let's say somebody did something to you when you were a kid and you're
00:24:33.320like you know what i've been holding on to this for so long i release you i let you go who knows
00:24:38.160what that person is god's going to equal it out but you're not going to see it so it's not as
00:24:41.860satisfying as if you saw the person like you know trip down a flight of stairs or you know whatever
00:24:46.000But what it actually does is it is the thing that doesn't appease your pride or your ego, right? So it's your pride. It's like, what do you really care about? Do you care about justice being served? Or do you care about your pride and getting what you feel is owed to you? God cares about justice, right?
00:25:04.720And so if you, you know, if you get to see it, then it's just stoking the flames of your ego or your pride.
00:25:12.980And it's pride is seems to be the root of all sin.
00:25:17.180You know, I think you can make a strong argument for that.
00:25:19.420And so it's fascinating that when you give it up to God, it's like, yeah, you're not you're probably not going to see this play out.
00:25:24.620It's not going to be satisfying. Justice will be served, but your pride won't be.
00:25:28.440And it's tough because, you know, depending on the person, maybe some really, really, really bad things were done to you.
00:25:57.400not saying it didn't happen you're not saying it was okay you're saying it it happened you did this
00:26:03.160it mattered it had an effect on me but i'm releasing all that and what that does in
00:26:07.640spiritual warfare is it takes away what the this area that the enemies have been occupying in your
00:26:12.360mind that grudge you've been holding is what's been hurting you and you're pushing them out
00:26:16.920that's what offensive spiritual warfare is you're pushing them out they no longer have that and it's
00:26:21.160something i had to do when i was coming up with the court and i was coming up with this lesson
00:26:24.280this is the one lesson that i taught god brought to me some people who i was still holding grudges
00:26:29.240against and i had to go back and i had to you know first thing i had to do this is what's brutal
00:26:35.320about doing the forgiveness you can't just say i'll forgive you you got you have to go in there
00:26:38.920you have to take yourself mentally back to that situation you have to feel it and say this happened0.90
00:26:45.400this hurt the hell out of me this and i'm really god i'm releasing it to you and it it kind of sucks
00:26:52.280But it's but that's the only way you're going to truly release it and truly free up your mind and kick the enemy out of that portion, out of that area in your head.
00:26:59.960That is a very interesting. I guess it stands in stark contrast to what, once again, people think being a Christian is all about.
00:27:08.900You know, it's allowing this thing and forgiving. And it does have this.
00:27:12.760I think it's what allows people to create the caricature of hippie Jesus so effectively.
00:27:17.380and it's really not it is um it is warfare it is spiritual warfare right and i think about it too
00:27:24.940within the context not just having them occupy your mind and then like pushing them out but
00:27:29.400when iniquity is dealt to you there is it's almost like a spiritual tally like okay you're owed now
00:27:38.420a thing has been done to you and you're owed somebody is in your debt there's a debt that's
00:27:41.740owed to you because of this thing that just happened and you could either hold on to that
00:27:46.440debt and you know partake in whatever that vengeance looks like for you and then you know
00:27:51.520like you said god forbid you overshoot it or you undershoot it or whatever and it's not justice
00:27:57.500you're not really capable as as a finite human being of dealing out the exact amount of justice
00:28:02.620that needs to be done in that particular situation but if you forfeit that tally mark and you go like
00:28:08.580no no that's that that debt that goes to god like that's between you and god i forgive you like so
00:28:13.960yeah you're pushed out of my head but it's interesting because i wonder like does that
00:28:17.180spiritual tally mark then go like god scoops that up and he goes okay now now i've now i have the
00:28:22.880debt the debt is owed me and and what because what could have been happening is that person who did
00:28:27.120you wrong they've been skating because you haven't been you haven't done anything to them and you
00:28:31.740haven't released them so god can't do anything to them so they've just been going along with their
00:28:35.240life merrily and then you release them and suddenly they're like why is all this crap happening to me
00:28:38.480because they're finally getting paid back for it.
00:38:20.400And by the way, I think that's all fantastic.
00:38:22.740Like that is really, you know, I think that the psychological aspect of it, you know, like you said, like going through that scenario in your mind and it genuinely does alleviate some of the pressure that you feel to hate this person.
00:38:37.180It was Victor. You guys are lying to me.
00:38:39.060Oh, I thought Z-Man's name was actually Victor. I thought we were doxing him.
00:41:34.000You're not going to be able to use this against them.
00:41:35.980So if you, if this is a scenario or close to it, let me know.
00:41:40.460If not, if I'm getting it wrong, let me know as well.
00:41:42.380But if this person is coming to you and is trying and you are you confront them and maybe they pretend to make amends and say, OK, it's cool.
00:41:51.200We're good. God knows the truth. God knows. OK, that was not that was not true.
00:41:55.840But you still release them, though. And so God can still get vengeance on them, because if they if they were trying to make amends and it was done falsely, then they're still on the wrong side of justice.
00:42:05.520and if you said okay go ahead more so what i was thinking is if you were to um let's say
00:42:12.160somebody is presenting as a christian and they you believe they're a christian but then you don't
00:42:19.080you like rebuke them publicly let's just say you get into a public squabble when you start throwing
00:42:23.140and they go oh you didn't do the channels it's kind of a silly question as i'm saying it um
00:42:29.300but it's just something like i said that uh uh you know because so many of these rules and i
00:42:33.920dealt with this 100 correctly this is what your hold of is about yeah no no not yours because she0.97
00:42:38.780that person's not christian no no but they're also not presenting as great i don't really give a shit0.74
00:42:42.080about that person that person is more of a um that was just rhetoric for me to dust off i'm actually
00:42:47.080quite upset that i dusted off what i used to do because i don't do it that often um but this
00:42:51.860person kind of deserved it but but confronting somebody privately about a thing oh yeah yeah
00:42:58.060that you actually ain't going nowhere i brought it up because uh james williams contacted me not
00:43:03.580long ago and said that god put it on his heart that i should know that me personally i should
00:43:08.480know the rules of engagement and he brought up simon the sorcerer people who are posing as
00:43:14.240christians but are not and that if you don't adhere to these rules of engagement you know
00:43:21.120it could end up being so that like you were talking earlier um if you're not justified well
00:43:26.520now god has to exact justice on you because you've you've slipped up and you've done a thing now
00:43:32.080and so this is actually something i've been thinking about for a couple of weeks now
00:43:36.080and now that we're talking about i think i'm just having uh trouble uh phrasing it but yeah
00:43:40.140james just hit me up one day and was like don't know what to do with this holy spirit put this
00:43:45.020on my heart you need to understand the rules of engagement and i was like well i think it's it
00:43:49.800leads into what you came here to talk about because david you brought it up to me before
00:43:53.400the show there's been a person online that i've been i've just been very harsh to i don't care0.73
00:43:57.100i've just been calling this person fat you're ugly the things that you've been saying are1.00
00:44:01.020disgusting you're a liar as a matter of fact here's some stuff about you but it's like you're0.99
00:44:04.340very comfortable doing that to uh other people online so it's like well here it is and again1.00
00:44:09.960vengeance is for the lord this is not vengeance this is just more of a mirror that i'm showing
00:44:13.980you and you're seeing uh miss piggy but uh you you came here to talk about how you talk to demons
00:44:20.460yes yeah how we talk to d and oh that's it in in two breaths in two breaths i'm dealing with
00:44:28.020somebody who claims to be a christian or spoke to privately and then publicly and i've condemned
00:44:32.760and i don't know whatever you guys can go check it out and then i'm also talking to somebody who
00:44:36.720is listen this person looks like they're involved in witchcraft looks like they have been drained
00:44:42.160of their louche and life energy and don't have much left in their skin sack uh but uh malice
00:44:49.300bitterness and hatred and i treat them exactly how i treat them exactly how they are uh i'm
00:44:56.720perceiving them. I'm perceiving them as as somebody that is exactly those things. And I just go not
00:45:02.100even worth my time. Here's a couple of words, go away. You don't have to stay like this. But get
00:45:07.460out of here. I don't want nothing to do with you. There's not going to be a conversation here.
00:45:12.460That person, I'm talking about like, that's, that's like a demon. This is, this is, it's weird,
00:45:17.460like instinctually, this is how I felt like dealing with this person, this specific type.
00:45:22.440like i feel like i'm not talking to a human i'm talking to something else there because your
00:45:27.060behavior is is weird for a very long time so how how do we talk to demons i've seen how jesus talks
00:45:33.300to demons he tells them to get out of here exactly well pretty much i mean you you kind of you kind
00:45:37.160of nailed it in a nutshell so there are two things so there is talking to demons and when i say demons
00:45:42.580i mean demons fallen elohim any evil spiritual entity versus talking to a person who is possessed
00:45:49.180by one of these entities which is almost very similar to what you talk to a demonic entity
00:45:54.720and then talking about talking to someone who are communicating with someone who's being
00:45:58.860influenced they're not possessed but you know that they are being influenced so there are two
00:46:02.800different ways let's look at the two categories the first um either directly talking to um spiritual
00:46:09.380entities or people who are possessed by spiritual energy which is almost the same thing and here's
00:46:13.940what you do because and this is the type of offensive spiritual warfare that people really
00:46:17.660think about when i think of spiritual warfare no confrontation you know what and we do we're
00:46:22.540teaching spiritual warfare the way jesus did it and as you and as you said you command them with
00:46:27.340authority you do not do not get into conversations with with with demonic entities with any spiritual
00:46:34.220evil and this is that's the inclination that i've been feeling with this person and okay it comes
00:46:38.780off as sarcasm and and you know there's an audience so it's a bit performative but it's like this is
00:46:43.100is not conversational this is for the people behind you yeah and i'm but i want to shine a
00:46:47.260light on what exactly is happening here because it's disgusting and and it just happens to be
00:46:51.560embodied by by exact the exact disgust that i'm seeing exude from it physiognomy yeah and i know
00:46:58.400and now now i'm but now i'm in a situation where i'm like i feel like it's my job to really point
00:47:02.380this out and i can do it but i'm like i'm slipping i'm slipping into like my old way i don't even do
00:47:06.980this anymore this is like a thing that i've hung up and i'd rather do other stuff but for some
00:47:10.820reason i'm like no no no there's an example that needs to be made here it's probably it's probably
00:47:14.660incorrect i don't know but i i hope people see what's happening so what you do and this is this
00:47:20.120is this is john linhart's bailiwick i'll use that word again his specialty is is communicating is
00:47:24.720communication there's there are two main ways to communicate statements and questions when you are
00:47:30.160dealing with demonic entities or people who are possessed by demonic entities you make statements
00:47:34.980you do not ask them questions jesus never the only time jesus has a question of a demonic entity was
00:47:40.440asking him its name. And that's what we're going to get into special circumstances, because that's
00:47:46.200a situation where you can actually have more power to command them if you have his name. That's the
00:47:50.560only time Jesus asked a question. You don't ask questions. You don't answer questions. You make
00:47:55.400statements and you make them with authority. So, Top, when you're dealing with someone, if you are
00:47:59.460convinced that they are demonic, you can make statements. You don't do that with a human being
00:48:06.800you're not um whose will you don't know and i'll talk about that in a moment that again that's in
00:48:11.200in john's area so i'll have to use what what you know what he teaches but when jesus was talking
00:48:15.920to demons he he commanded them with the authority you know come out of her come out of him get out
00:48:21.840go when jesus was being tempted in the wilderness by satan no conversations he just he quoted you
00:48:29.440can quote the word of god jesus quoted the word of god and he said get behind me you have no place
00:48:34.800here you it is written this you he only made statements so why is this why don't you want
00:48:40.400to converse with them because people are tempted when they are um confronted they want to they
00:48:47.280want to have a conversation with with them they want to say you know why are you here what are
00:48:51.040you doing you don't do that and the reason is these entities have more information than you
00:48:56.880they are operating at a higher level and they will like the like the police even if
00:49:00.720reach your miranda rice anything you say can and will be used against you they are trying to get
00:49:05.280information from you and that information will be that will harm you let's look at an example
00:49:10.720of when someone did have a conversation eden when the nakash when the serpent came to eve and said
00:49:17.120did god really say you can't eat many of the fruit of the garden she could have just made a statement
00:49:21.120we she could have made a statement and then just left but when she or she could have just said get
00:49:25.840out or what you know you have no place here they had that right because adam and eve had they had
00:49:32.160dominion over the earth and over everything in the earth they could have commanded satan the nakash
00:49:37.280the serpent to go and he would have had to leave and this is another important point when jesus
00:49:42.000cast out demons he did not do it through his power as the son of god he did it through his authority
00:49:46.960as the second adam remember when jesus jesus came he he fulfilled everything that adam was supposed
00:49:53.280to he corrected all of adam's mistakes he lived the life adam was supposed to live that's how he
00:49:57.520had the authority because adam and eve had dominion over the earth and over everything in it
00:50:02.080so but what did eve do instead she got into a conversation and then and it shows and it exposed
00:50:08.480the weakness when she said we can't we can't eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil nor
00:50:12.880can we touch it then or will surely die that gave satan information oh she just added to the word
00:50:19.600of god she's in pride she wants to be like the elohim now i know how to get to her now i can0.75
00:50:25.440tell her if you eat of this fruit you will be like the elohim knowing good and evil0.90
00:50:28.960so that's why you don't talk to them because they're they're smarter than us they have more0.99
00:50:32.320information than we do these entities have been around for hundreds thousands of years you are
00:50:36.720not their first rodeo okay we've been around what you know 30 40 50 years they've been around for
00:50:42.400thousands you're not going to outsmart them you are not and i don't you speak to them in authority
00:50:49.200when i when i was at a when you were when you're in the army what did they tell you to do when
00:50:52.960you're captured you give name rank name ranking serial number they ask you well how much ammunition
00:50:58.560does your did your platoon have name rank serial number troop movements you cannot try to outsmart
00:51:03.520them you can't say well maybe i'll give them wrong information and and and then that'll help
00:51:09.200no because maybe the person who's interrogating you as a professional maybe they just want to
00:51:13.200know how much you know maybe they're not trying to get facts they're just trying to see what your
00:51:17.360situation is you don't know that they have more information than you so that's why you don't get
00:51:21.600in a conversation with these entities you command them you you can quote the word of god to them you
00:51:26.720can tell them to get out you can ask them their name you can do those sorts of things that's but
00:51:32.000that's it you command them with authority never get into a conversation because it's never going
00:51:37.040to go your way that's good yeah that's good advice we'll read this in a second but i think a mistake
00:51:42.960that i may have made is just keep playing around with this because i know that i understand that
00:51:47.840uh principle very well of uh you don't engage back and forth but then it's also kind of like
00:51:53.920i don't know i spent what was like maybe three hours playing with a snake and i'm kind of like
00:51:58.400that's a little dangerous too this it's it's done now it's gone because i've had my fun like i don't
00:52:03.600know it's just like i got to a certain point where i was just like i'm gonna play with this thing and
00:52:35.220it's a dangerous thing because I'm like,
00:52:37.100I have to showcase this like it needs to be showcased to my audience specifically because
00:52:42.040I'm teaching you a thing look at this thing look at what's happened here that's usually what you do
00:52:46.960is you talk behind the person you've said that before yeah where it's like I'm not talking to
00:52:51.020you I'm talking to everybody behind you they're like you you're quote tweeting me which means
00:52:54.400that like you've said a thing and then I've taken it and I've reposted it but with my own commentary
00:52:58.540above they go you're quote tweeting me haha look at how insecure you must want likes I'm like it's
00:53:03.220not for you i'm talking like if you're here i'm i'm doing this and i'm speaking behind you i'm
00:53:08.340speaking to the people there's 50 000 of them that may see this thing at some point it's not for you
00:53:13.920but still i'm in i'm in an area where like this is yeah it's an arena that is danger i'm basically
00:53:20.680snake charming or or what would you call like being like a matador in a way whereas right big
00:53:25.640fat bull is running at me and i've done it before but yeah it's a dangerous game it's just and it's
00:53:30.420why i don't do it much anymore like i don't dust that thing off because i got very good at it and
00:53:35.480sometimes it could be misguided but whatever you want to read that yeah uh sparrow says uh is
00:53:41.860pressing charges or using the legal system considered seeking vengeance thanks for the
00:53:46.380show guys that's actually a interesting question i know it's not because you aren't doing the
00:53:50.740vengeance you are you're operating within law you're not you're not doing the vengeance you
00:53:54.320have if somebody robs you and you have them arrested that's then you're done you aren't
00:54:00.120sentencing them that's the that's the the job of the judge in the legal system so justice would be
00:54:05.560oh you robbed me i'm going to rob you that's that's equal that's running equal justice calling
00:54:11.060the authorities on because you know what the authorities are going to do maybe he might be0.65
00:54:13.740found innocent you don't know right but it's predicated on them breaking the law right if
00:54:19.080anything is if there is justice exacted against them it's because they were you know uh seemed to
00:54:24.560have breaking the law and the laws are broken the law rather the law and the court system is
00:54:28.240supposed to be a reflection of uh the court system in heavenly courts well we're called to
00:54:33.480to not i mean but maybe it's maybe it'll be close enough which but we are called to operate within
00:54:38.940these parameters right like you know it's not like we're supposed to that's what we got burn down the
00:54:43.300system or anything like that like it's like no you're you're passing through this and like use
00:54:47.020these these machines and use these systems well i think because the just so the justice might not
00:54:52.980be equally doled out depending on the system that you have like a i don't know the lady lindsey
00:54:58.240clancy kills her kids or whatever it is and it's mistrial or whatever it may be or maybe the
00:55:03.520sentencing that she would get isn't long enough it's not on you anymore you've you've already
00:55:07.860passed that on to right the the system on earth that you've just highlighted it right they're
00:55:13.040supposed to be replicating the system in heaven of justice so that's on them right yeah you
00:55:16.900you you've released a person you can also release a legal system like you know if somebody if somebody
00:55:20.660does something wrong to you and even the law doesn't doesn't equal all justice and you're
00:55:24.420mad at the law you know you can you can you can release that too and god can will have to will
00:55:29.860have to uh equal out justice on the the judge who maybe did something wrong or the attorneys
00:55:35.380who did something wrong and the person who who perpetrated it now if you were to if you don't
00:55:39.860like somebody and you like you know take uh one of your possessions and you plant it in their house
00:55:44.500and then you call the cops say well that's that's a different that no that's yeah that's vengeance
00:55:49.700yeah but like as far as the legal system i don't you know they don't get it right all the time
00:55:53.860right some of the punishments are kind of accurate but then some of them are even harsh
00:55:57.780some of them are too harsh some i mean some are you in a cage for abortion is legal in many states
00:56:02.340also so baby murder is fine so this is like these are flawed systems but it's the best that we're
00:56:06.180dealing with and i don't i don't know yeah but yeah and but you're still releasing it releasing
00:56:10.980this person to the system and then if something doesn't go right well then god still has the
00:56:14.580responsibility to make sure that justice is equal out and then if justice is is too harsh on the
00:56:18.660person if they get a sentence worse than they deserve well then that person now has to release
00:56:23.220that to god so that god can can pay them back but you aren't that's not your responsibility you
00:56:27.620didn't do anything wrong you just use the system and i want to back up top to what you were saying
00:56:32.420before about talking behind the person there's biblical precedent for that because when you look
00:56:36.740at uh uh matthew chapter 16 when which you know the catholics favorite verse and also the little
00:56:43.460season people at the end of 16 about jesus said he would return during the lifetime of his disciples
00:56:47.940he did not but that's a whole other thing um get my book for that but at the beginning of chapter
00:56:52.66016 is when you know jesus has the upon this rock i will build my church talking to peter and of
00:56:57.060course the catholics and the orthodox our orthodox friends say well no jesus was appointing peter to
00:57:00.740be the leader of the church that's no that's that's your tradition isn't that that had nothing to do
00:57:04.740with it but which is which is interesting because first if he elevates
00:57:08.580Peter to this high role then two verses later he calls Peter Satan because after
00:57:14.220after Peter says you know you're you're you're the Christ's son the living God
00:57:18.300and Jesus says blessed are you Peter for flesh and blood is not revealed to you
00:57:21.720my father in heaven and thou art Peter and upon this rock will build my church
00:57:24.840and against the hell will not prevail against me and then he just starts
00:57:28.300talking about how he's going to die soon and then Peter says oh no Lord you're
00:57:32.460going to die and what does jesus say he says get behind me satan because you're you're trying to
00:57:37.420be a stumbling block so he appoints peter to be the first pope and then like a verse later he
00:57:42.060calls him satan huh interesting that might be accurate well but what jesus is saying he is not
00:57:49.740he is telling he's talking to his disciples saying that this what came out of peter was
00:57:56.860just just like god spoke through peter when he called when he affirmed jesus as the christ
00:58:01.580satan was talking through peter when he said no just far be it from you to fulfill your mission
00:58:07.340and so he was giving the disciples the other disciples an example of this is what satan does
00:58:12.780he can speak through you this way so obviously peter was still still good obviously you know
00:58:17.260he's one of the great apostles but he was speaking behind peter to the actual entity that was speaking
00:58:23.820through him so you can do that and that's so there's a precedent for that so i think you're
00:58:28.060perfectly justified and make in and making this person an example to the audience of of what's
00:58:33.260wrong here without confronting or or necessarily getting some type of vengeance on that person
00:58:38.860directly there you go it was biblical go i don't think it was biblical i said some horrific to her
00:58:47.980well i didn't read everything i didn't mean what you said i'm just saying from a principle
00:58:50.940standpoint yeah yeah yeah there's precedent for it so let's talk a little bit about confronting
00:58:55.900someone who was under the influence of who may be under influence but not directly possessed with
00:59:01.660them you can mean you do the opposite of making statements you ask them questions because you need
00:59:06.300for them to state their will of who they are being influenced by because you don't know
00:59:11.820you suspect that this person is under the influence of something evil but you don't know
00:59:16.140that for sure you're not you're not in their head or their heart what you can do is ask them a
00:59:19.020question what does she mean by that what are you trying to accomplish what do you hope is going to
00:59:23.260to happen next. And then if they answer the question, then that's going to reveal their
00:59:28.020intention. Or if they don't answer the question, that'll also reveal their intention because
00:59:32.140these demonic entities, they don't answer questions. They don't communicate with you
00:59:36.460that way. They don't want to answer questions. They want to ask you questions, but they don't
00:59:39.000want to answer them. So what this does is it keeps you on the right side of justice. Because if
00:59:44.160you're making statements on them and you say, you know what, you're possessed by a demon and
00:59:46.960they're not, what did you just do? You just publicly lied about them. And now God has to
00:59:52.280bring out now god has equal out justice so when you have statements on someone go ahead i i only
00:59:57.840had a brief interaction with her and i asked her i saw one thing that i said this this stands out
01:00:03.800as very strange to me and i said what did you mean by this well what's the issue with this
01:00:08.760particular thing here that you you've highlighted whatever it was very simple and she flat out said
01:00:13.120i have no interest in answering this and i'm i'm done and it was like very reasonable i wasn't i
01:00:18.720wasn't being rude not like nothing was you know you did the mr nasty thing i woke up i saw the
01:00:23.540whole thing i was like what is this what can you talk to me about this what did you mean by this
01:00:27.140and she was like just not answering that at all what was it it was specifically that she she goes
01:00:32.460um i was gonna come on your show and then i i saw this bro grove thing and i and that's when i
01:00:40.060stopped and i was like so you saw the name of our comedy conspiracy event and you decided to leave
01:00:48.120me on red after I asked you to come on the show a year ago why like that's a bizarre thing it's
01:00:54.460a silly name she played the fifth it's a comedy yes flat out was like not answering that and I
01:00:58.900was like that's bizarre because you've engaged with everything except for this one reasonable
01:01:04.640request by me your body is always giving you signals whoop helps you understand them whoop

01:01:38.560because i i felt composed or compelled to ask a question i was like before i get all in this and
01:01:43.480start swinging hammer and everything like oh no this person's completely that that's kind of
01:01:47.620bizarre bro i i i understand what i'm dealing with because there were questions or answers or prompts
01:01:53.000that i'm i'm posing to this person to answer me back and i realized oh no no there's never an
01:01:57.240answer back so it's like so you're not from my from me either there's going to be an insult i'm
01:02:02.140going to insult you on on the outside i really hope you stop and take a look at yourself that's
01:02:06.600interesting but like that's what this is what we're doing here we're picking up a mirror you're
01:02:10.260holding it to me i don't i don't see the reflection that you're trying to pose but i'm going to hold
01:02:14.060this one to you and it's accurate it's deadly and that's what happened but whatever that i'm done
01:02:18.300with that now it's a weird game to play it's a sign of deception someone who will not answer
01:02:23.640your questions they are being intentionally deceptive they are telling you that they are not
01:02:27.360an honest operator and that and they're going to go away that's the other thing that you that you
01:02:31.800that will that you will find when you ask them questions if they answer them it will tell you
01:02:35.360what their mindset is if they don't answer the question then they're going to go away
01:02:39.120or you can say you know what because i've had this happen many times where someone will confront
01:02:43.460me on something doctrine or whatever and i will ask them a question and they want to answer it
01:02:47.480and they'll ask me another question this is my least favorite thing that's why i hate doing0.98
01:02:50.680debates i'm not doing them anymore for a couple of reasons number one they're gay and number two0.81
01:02:54.980debates are unrighteous because righteousness the only way to be righteous is to um operate0.63
01:03:00.760from the idea that you could be wrong right debates are the opposite debates are you always
01:03:05.080trying to prove yourself right. That's pride. And that's why I, when I would get into these
01:03:09.240debates, I did a bunch of little season debates. And even after I pretty much won them all because
01:03:13.700the little season is ridiculous, but I never felt good about it. I didn't feel like satisfied. I
01:03:19.300felt like there was something wrong in my spirit. Now it was, it was because I was not doing what
01:03:22.820God wanted me to do. God was not wanting me to try to prove myself right. Say again. I said,
01:03:26.880when it's over, you're like, that sucked. It feels like, yeah, it did. It did. I didn't like it.
01:03:30.340It's like having sex with a prostitute. You're like, I would just be like, this is awful.1.00
01:03:33.820was a bad idea in the moment it felt like yeah you know i i made my points and you couldn't respond
01:03:38.620to them so blah blah you know like that's not this did not feel satisfying because i wasn't doing it
01:03:44.460i was doing for the wrong reasons i was trying to be right and that's that's pride and the opposite
01:03:49.980of pride is okay is it possible that i was wrong that's why i intentionally put a chapter in that
01:03:53.820little season book saying okay if the little season is right this is what the world would
01:03:57.260look like so i'm here here's here's how you can be right if this thing is happening but in any case
01:04:01.420the whole point um of of that is that when um when someone does not answer your question
01:04:07.980they're intentionally being deceptive so so when i've had people confront me about things and in
01:04:13.020when they've tried to debate me and i'll make a point now i ask them a question and they won't
01:04:16.700answer it they'll just move on to something else like and i say no no no no we are not going to
01:04:21.580move on until you either answer my question or admit that you're wrong but we're not we're not
01:04:27.900going to keep moving the goalposts that's one of my least favorite things when you're talking to
01:04:30.940someone when you make a point and ask them a question and instead of addressing your question
01:04:34.860or acknowledging it it's okay what's what's the next thing no no no no no no yeah tell them we
01:04:39.500are this conversation you either answer my question or this conversation is over yes yeah oh i've done
01:04:43.900that before i've had those moments where i you know i answer a thing that they asked and it was
01:04:47.980definitively you know proven that they're wrong and they immediately try to shift it and i'll do
01:04:51.660that it's like you're either going to concede and acknowledge this or we're not we're not engaging
01:04:55.900anymore it's over this is enough to come back to i guess i think it was the beginning of the show
01:04:59.660or maybe pre-show where uh the alex soren episode just released that's right yeah i was dealing with
01:05:04.220a lot of these people in the same way they were approaching me in this very combative way and it's
01:05:08.300just dismissive insult everybody laugh and it's like it's a bit of psychological warfare and alex
01:05:14.460came and he said something i did the same technique to him and then i realized like oh no he's being
01:05:19.500genuine because the question that i'm posing to him i was like that was actually answered earnestly
01:05:24.220And I have to go back. And that's my fault. Now, now it's like there's an injustice here. So like now, now I opened up a dialogue in the DM to talk with him because I was like, I read that wrong. But there's also a hundred of you guys attacking me in the same way. And then, but there's one, there's one that's not. And I'm like, all right, well, let's have the conversation. I thought it was a good conversation. But yeah, it's, it's, man, it's, it's a weird terror. It's not, it's not natural to the human condition to do this at this field and this level in that venue.
01:05:54.220Yeah, that's why I was telling you that somebody hit us up
01:05:56.880and they want us to be part of like a 10 v.
01:16:34.120So here's the sign of knowing that someone has some humility.
01:16:38.120And when you ask them a question, usually when people are asked a question they can't answer, it's because they don't know.
01:16:43.200If someone is willing to say, I don't know the answer to your question, that's a sign that you're dealing with someone whose thought process is actually mature.
01:16:54.500And someone you can actually have a conversation with.
01:20:57.880Well, here's another thing that's counterintuitive.
01:20:59.600The best way to find your superpower, your secret weapon, your most effective weapon
01:21:05.100is to rely on the enemy because they are going to they're going to attack you in that area where
01:21:13.320you're the strongest they don't attack you where you're weak they're going to attack you in your
01:21:16.460strength because they know that this is what this person can use against me so i'm going to wound
01:21:22.000them here it's something called that call it's called the wound i don't know if you ever if you
01:21:25.620heard the book it was out i thought well maybe 20 plus years ago called um wild at heart by a man
01:21:31.080by an author named john eldridge it's really a book about um you know becoming growing in manhood
01:21:37.160in in the christian point of view and how the things that that you know men go through and
01:21:40.680he talks about the wound he says every man has been wounded and that wound is is uh is a place
01:21:47.800where we need to heal from in order to actually be who we are we try to we cover up the wound we try
01:21:53.160to you know put on a different mask to pretend it didn't happen but that wound that happened if you
01:21:58.680you don't address it then you are always going to be suffering from it but i think there's an
01:22:03.440expansion to that what's it called i'm sorry i just wanted to let's just call wild at heart
01:22:08.100by uh john eldridge is the name that's so funny there's actually a second wild at heart and you
01:22:12.560know who's starring in it it's a movie it's a nicholas and who william defoe i'm watching that
01:22:17.740how weird is that because we were just talking about william defoe and nicholas cage yesterday
01:22:21.240yeah they're in this movie that's very funny um okay don't detract from that i mean because now
01:22:25.880now my brain's old i know i just thought i had to say i'm sorry sorry i'm just touching on it on
01:22:30.040this we'll talk about it more um at another another episode but i want people to understand
01:22:35.240this that when they wherever you're wounded that's your strength that's what the enemy is afraid of
01:22:40.920and i gave you example in in my life when i think my strength is doing what i do now is you know is
01:22:47.320teaching and being in front of people so what was my wound i was wounded early on with rejection
01:22:52.280i was wounded being told you know you're not you're not worth it nobody wants to hear anything
01:22:57.440you have to say that was specifically to me because my superpower my best weapon against
01:23:03.420the enemy is doing what i do now speaking out boldly and you can't do this if you if you're
01:23:09.820afraid that you're going to be rejected then you can't do this that was what that's what i was
01:23:13.740going through even when i started faith by reason you know i just started blogging pretty anonymous
01:23:17.740nobody could hold me to account accountability i don't even put my real name out there i just
01:23:21.600i think i used my initials at first and then when i started doing videos it was all images and and
01:23:26.960you know in clips i didn't start actually putting my face out there because every time i i thought
01:23:32.000about doing that that that voice would come to me saying you don't want people to see you you don't
01:23:36.400want them to know who you really are what if somebody on your job finds out what if they would
01:23:40.560this because they were they were kept trying to expose that wound and say you'll be rejected
01:23:45.040nobody will like you they'll think you're some crazy religious nut and all these different things
01:23:49.520And that's that's where that was the initial wound. They keep wounding you in that same spot because that is the most dangerous part of you.0.82
01:23:57.820Not your weaknesses, your strengths. So I say that to tell people when you think about what triggers you thinking, think about where you have been wounded the worst.
01:24:06.900That is probably your strength. That's probably the area where you're the most dangerous to the enemy because the enemy fears you.
01:24:15.520you are a threat. And if you can figure that out, and we will help you do that in the course,
01:24:20.800if you can figure that out, then you know where your strength is, and you'll know how to overcome
01:24:24.300it. But here is the really brutal part. Your body is always giving you signals.

01:24:57.880god is ready to use you he is going to do something that's going to seem cruel he's going to wound you
01:25:03.300again in that same spot not because of cruelty but because he wants to bring it to your attention
01:25:09.440so that's why a great example of this is job so we know the story of job the hostile town the
01:25:17.580satan you know god says yeah what are you doing what he's saying i've been walking up and down
01:25:20.620the earth have you considered my servant job and you know he made his case against job and
01:25:25.280job job was hyper-religious it said that job would sacrifice every day then he would sacrifice on
01:25:30.440behalf of his children just in case they did a sin that he that they didn't know about so he was
01:25:35.100very hyper-religious but job was afraid of confronting god because what was the end when
01:25:43.500god finally confronts him and and gives me this the science quiz in the last couple chapters of
01:25:47.900job what's job's response he said from now on i will speak and i will expect an answer from you
01:25:52.860god had god wanted a better relationship with job job's superpower was his ability to reason
01:25:58.780and and rationalize and and and talk to people he did that for most of the book of job is him
01:26:03.900conversing with his friends his so-called friends about what was happening to him he did that with
01:26:07.660him and he didn't do it with god so god had to wound him in that place again in his in his
01:26:12.620his religious piety he said oh i'm i'm never going to confront god because god's so holy i don't want
01:26:16.780to have a conversation with him no job's superpower was being able to understand god and to communicate
01:26:23.500to and with god but he wouldn't do it he communicated with his friends about what
01:26:26.780happened but he never talked to god and his conclusion was from now on i'm going to talk to
01:26:31.180you so but god had to wound him there to bring it to his attention so when god's ready to use you
01:26:38.300what he's going to do he is going to wound you in that exact same spot and it's going to seem cruel
01:26:42.300and you're going to be wondering why god why are you doing this because it's something that you
01:26:46.220have covered up you put so many layers you know that's you know when you get hurt when you cut
01:26:50.140yourself what happens the scab forms on it and that scab is supposed to be there to heal then
01:26:53.580you then the scab is supposed to fall off but some of us because of that wound we've kept the scabs
01:26:57.340on there and they've layered up so high that we may not even acknowledge what that wound was but
01:27:02.840once you acknowledge it and god might have to rip the scab off not because he's being cruel but
01:27:07.080because he wants you to acknowledge your wounds you can heal from it and you can walk in the
01:27:11.300strength of it so that's something we're gonna we'll cover some cover this more but i want to
01:27:16.840just kind of plant that seed as we're going through it in the course because it's this is
01:27:20.360what's going to make you dangerous i'm thinking about what that is for me and i i mean i i can
01:27:25.820think of some things but i i also don't think that it's just one thing i think you come in and out of
01:27:31.840that and you continue to grow and yeah and uh discover more more things about i know like when
01:27:37.700i was very young one of the things that i wouldn't do i wouldn't speak up at all i would be i would
01:27:42.120be very passive i didn't want to like make any waves at all and now i kind of like look at myself
01:27:47.400now and i'm like ah you're kind of it's not a problem anymore abrasive uh just right out on0.99
01:27:52.200its face people don't like it but it's like yeah yeah almost though the opposite fuck you man0.95
01:27:57.460almost the opposite of what i was before um and that was like that's like a gift that was always0.92
01:28:05.080sitting there and it's like a latent ability but it's it's something that was attacked constantly0.99
01:28:10.100yeah you know don't don't speak up don't say anything you're gonna look like an idiot and0.97
01:28:15.120it's like well i don't know it turns out like my career now is speaking up like so i was supposed0.99
01:28:20.160to be working that muscle but i was told for most of my life to restrict and constrict it and then
01:28:26.160when i broke out of it then you see stuff flourish but yeah then there's there are more things that
01:28:31.120start to come out and and you do realize that attack like there's a concerted attack in this
01:28:36.000area of my life why it's like because there's something there there's a there's a breakthrough
01:28:41.280you know a lot of times our parents are the ones that give us that wound
01:28:45.680not intentionally obviously but but they'll the enemy enemy will use it because sometimes our
01:28:51.980parents see the places where we're usually where you're strong is where you're going to be the most
01:28:56.980assertive and your parent will say don't do that you're you're being you're being a little too
01:29:01.740little too my mother say you're being a little too fresh you know when you're doing this sort
01:29:05.080of thing and i would and i would speak out and i don't know if i told you guys this story before
01:29:10.160i may have but when i was um when i was in church as a kid you know i was love the bible love reading
01:29:15.260it and um it was that it was my grandmother chastised me in front of the church because
01:29:19.260one time our our pastor of our church he misquoted a verse during like a devotion where we're all
01:29:24.540basically standing around the altar and he's um he's doing a devotional whatever and he misquoted
01:29:28.460a verse and i said you know pastor his name is pastor darby i said hey pastor darby um you got
01:29:32.540that one wrong it's actually you misquoted this verse he said okay and he did it my grandmother
01:29:37.980took me aside and she said oh you embarrassed me so much you you you insulted the man of god and
01:29:43.180like but but i was he was wrong i was trying to help him i was trying to do the right thing but
01:29:48.300i was told don't do that that was a wound because that's what i do now my and this is something that
01:29:54.220john is going to help with in in this portion of the course it's something called your personal
01:29:58.060mission and vision statement it's really really get down to your unique your absolute mission
01:30:02.780in life my mission statement is i want to show people where they are wrong so that they can be
01:30:08.460more right that's brutal because no one wants to know they're wrong but that's my gift that is my
01:30:13.660passion i want to tell you you're wrong here not for pride the opposite i want to make you more
01:30:18.380righteous and i want to make you more righteous by showing you where you're wrong so that you can be
01:30:22.780more right nobody wants to hear they're wrong so it takes someone with a lot of ego strength to be
01:30:28.140able to do that so if you need a lot of ego strength to do your mission then what is the devil0.99
01:30:32.700there wasn't satan and the following ones want to do wound me right there you are worthless you are
01:30:38.060rejected so that's what they did and then my grandmother inadvertently wounded me again and
01:30:42.780just said you can't speak out you can't tell anyone you're wrong she told me the exact opposite
01:30:47.900of my strength so our parents tend to do that and so i say that for those of us who are parents
01:30:54.060we got to be careful i think about it all the time when i'm i have to look at my kid's strength
01:30:59.660and like i i'll just reveal this my oldest son we just he's he's becoming he's growing into a
01:31:06.040teenager we just found out that he's kind of he's on the cusp of the spectrum he's not autistic but
01:31:10.180he he has he's a little socially awkward we always figured he was just you know just had some social
01:31:14.040issues but it turned out we just had him tested just to make sure and he says yeah he's high
01:31:17.380functioning very bright kid but you know he's he's on the very edge of the spectrum so i had to look
01:31:23.620back at all the times where i may have chastised him or said something inadvertently cruel to him
01:31:29.120because i didn't realize that you know he has some of these social issues and some issues with
01:31:34.140texture my kid he he wears his socks inside out because you know there's certain textures that0.99
01:31:40.040they don't like yeah yeah and i would say dude why are you being a tard turn your shot sucks0.97
01:31:44.760and you know i would do it the right way that's not right that wasn't you know so and you know0.95
01:31:51.360he's he's quirky but i don't want to damage him in his quirks because those quirks are probably
01:31:56.260his strengths and it's just something we need to be mindful of with our children we're like chris
01:32:02.900rock said you're gonna you're gonna f up your kids just make sure that you're there to apologize and
01:32:08.800to um just always lift them up because the the satan will use us to be the administrators of
01:32:16.220those wounds just look at your kids strength and make sure that you're promoting that with my kids
01:32:22.000and also with me as well like as you were talking about your experience with the pastor there there's
01:32:27.660a thing about your gift that you have you have it but as a child you just use it sometimes so like
01:32:34.120my daughter i can think of a great like i'm like you need to watch your mouth because she's she
01:32:39.240will argue with you and not like twist your words but argue and then all of a sudden i'm on the i'm
01:32:44.680on the wrong i'm on the wrong side and i was like wait a second how'd you do that you're eight years
01:32:48.180old and it's like so she's effectively argued or lawyered me into a thing and i go i tell don't do0.95
01:32:54.620that don't do that shit but then i'm like no this is a muscle that she's using and she's working0.96
01:32:59.860that out and she's good at it yeah she's going to be very good at it whatever she does in the0.97
01:33:03.540future with it but the problem is i have to teach her when to use this thing like if my my gift if
01:33:10.720it's sarcasm and cutting through verbally with the knife and expressing myself i can't do that all
01:33:15.460the time and it depends on my mission so i got that tool but if i just have like a broadsword
01:33:20.440and i'm swinging it right it's just it this is havoc you know i got to use that thing like an
01:33:26.720expert and and target what i'm doing and be smart with it but that comes with time that comes with
01:33:31.480that comes with using that over and over and you use it irresponsibly like sometimes you might just
01:33:36.380be like hey pastor that's the wrong but maybe the the correct thing to do later on is be like
01:33:40.560that that uh scripture was actually this yeah so take it aside yeah but yeah take it aside and set
01:33:47.100that right here's the thing that you're going to learn that john's going to teach in the course
01:33:50.940there's three areas that we call in in your life that's called um your your sidekick your your um
01:33:58.260your your your your sidekick your alter ego and your superhero so your alter ego that's who you
01:34:05.440are most of the time that's your clark kent then there's your sidekick that's who you bring in or
01:34:11.120i think batman's a better one so you're bruce wayne that's what is most of the time then you
01:34:15.600have a sidekick when you can't handle it you're like you know what i i need i need to bring in
01:34:19.360someone else to i think i need to behave differently yes exactly yeah i need to behave a little
01:34:24.880differently around certain people in order to get along then there's your superhero that's who the
01:34:29.920person you are rarely but that's when you are cutting to the quick and doing the damage of
01:34:34.080swinging the sword that's my superhero say again that's top lops i try to explain that you did it
01:34:40.480way better and it is a persona that's put on and then people meet me in real life and they go you're
01:34:45.280a lot nicer than i thought you'd be it's like yes this is a tool i don't have to kill you i don't
01:34:49.200have to kill you with words verbally or whatever it is it's like but yeah these are tools that i
01:34:53.000have to put up front to do a certain task and it doesn't always look good batman breaks a bunch0.92
01:34:57.920people's legs and stuff but it's needed it's necessary i guess yeah it is no like like me i
01:35:03.600can't go around telling people they're wrong all the time but when it's needed i put on my cape
01:35:07.760and i was like you know what this is wrong i need to make you righteous and then you do it for a
01:35:10.480short time then you go back to your alter ego my alter ego is my is a teacher i'm just teaching
01:35:15.760that's what i love to do i can teach you and it's you know it's good it's i'm being effective but
01:35:19.440i'm not being my superhero i'm just being my the alter ego and then when i get into a situation
01:35:23.920where i'm just being drained that's when i'm that's when i'm super nice i'm like okay yeah
01:35:28.080that's how but you you use your sidekick in situations where you just need to get along
01:35:33.200in order to you know to make things work right but most of the time you should be your alter ego
01:35:36.960to be the person who who you are gives you it gives you energy but you are and you're doing
01:35:43.840what you love you should do that most of the time then when it's needed you put on the cape and for
01:35:48.000a short period of time you but the superhero is harsh batman is harsh you know superman he's
01:35:53.120flying around he's you know he's using laser eye beams but then he stopped and most of the time
01:35:57.500he's Clark Kent do you think that there's anything like inherently manipulative about that because
01:36:02.680it's a technique that I guess I have used I've I've said it for like I've thought about that
01:36:07.260for a while but it just feel it does feel weird like putting on certain masks but we do that like
01:36:12.320with my kids it's a I'm not I'm not even Daniel when I'm dealing with my kids I'm dad you know
01:36:17.600it's like these are different people in a sense and I'm kind of like well what the then who are
01:36:22.380you really you know what i mean that's yeah the person go ahead i'm sorry i was gonna say if you
01:36:27.660put on that alter ego around them i mean part of your job as a parent is almost like mitigating
01:36:32.700energy and such you know what i mean like mitigating the flow of of the day and the
01:36:37.100energy that they should have if you're on all the time then you're around kids who are like on and
01:36:41.740dialed up all the time and and you know it's also like you're slowing down the pace to communicate
01:36:46.780with children you want to make sure they understand you so i don't think it's really applicable
01:36:50.540around around them i don't think there's anything wrong with that and that alter ego thing uh or
01:36:55.500rather the sidekick like yeah i've worked corporate jobs and before where like the sidekick is in
01:37:01.100because i got to go along to get along and make sure that i use the correct language so that this
01:37:05.260hr doesn't freak out and like you know all kinds of stuff like that so like yeah i could totally
01:37:10.060see that right but like you know with the batman scenario robin was a sidekick he was the one with
01:37:14.460batman's like i can't deal with the public you go out there and you be the you know you're dressed0.93
01:37:17.900like a little homo you did all that stuff but most of the time he's bruce bruce wayne but so0.99
01:37:24.540most of the time i'm the teacher but i can't do this you know when i'm glad a parent teacher0.99
01:37:27.900conference i can't go out there just teaching people i just gotta hey how's it going hey
01:37:31.660how the 49ers doing and blah blah blah yeah yeah but you should spend very little time in your
01:37:35.740sidekick and very little time in your superhero most of the time you should be your alter ego
01:37:40.460because that's who you are that's your true self okay that is who you are all the time that gives
01:37:46.300you energy the superhero is when you are needed you do this thing for a short period of time the
01:37:51.580sidekick is when you just you can't deal with these people and you're trying to stay out of jail
01:37:55.900then that's when you go into your sidekick you tag him in but most of the time you should be
01:38:00.300your alter ego you should be clark ken you should be bruce wayne should be peter parker that's who
01:38:03.820you you're who you are most of the time that's your real you and then it's time to go in action
01:38:07.900you put the costume on it's interesting that you you bring that point up because with the new
01:38:11.900spider-man movie i don't know if you were thinking about probably you would think something different
01:38:15.580but uh most of it if you notice is uh peter parker as his superhero right probably he was
01:38:22.440yeah yeah 90 with the mask exactly but you see he starts to turn into it's like the human spider
01:38:28.520he's losing himself yeah that's a great example that i was gonna say because you actually find
01:38:33.800that both of them are draining the sidekick is draining and the superhero is much more draining
01:38:39.100so like you know if i have to be on like bro grove i'm on the stage and i'm on right by the
01:38:44.980end of it, I'm dead. I'm dead. And if I have to be that other thing that I have to be the sidekick
01:38:51.320when I'm around the corporate-tocracy and HR, that is also draining and it kills you. And then
01:38:57.780when you're done, you feel like if there's two meters and you just depleted this one for the
01:39:02.700sidekick kind of a deal. Yeah. I mean, I can see how it messes with you. You can't be in
01:39:06.840one of those for too long. I can do this all day. I can talk and teach all day. And not only would
01:39:12.360i not lose energy i will gain energy i'll have more energy by the time you sign off i'll have
01:39:16.480a lot of energy i'll maybe go out and do a walk but when you when i'm like telling people where
01:39:21.880they're wrong and showing them where that's draining and the sidekick is again like you
01:39:25.760said raven it's draining because like like when i'm working your corporate job it's like oh at
01:39:30.180the end of the day it's crushing it is it is it is soul crushing yeah so what do you think about
01:39:35.020that i mean that's a kind of a esoteric question then did you see the spider-man movie um i i yeah
01:39:41.900i did i did see it yeah okay so i was with my kids so i was i was kind of half sleep during not
01:39:47.140because of them but because of um it was we went to an early morning show and i i think i and i
01:39:51.860doing some other stuff the night before well yeah so i did i i saw it and i think i remember like
01:39:56.96080 of it the the premise at the end uh and spoiler alert if you haven't seen it it's like
01:40:02.100i think the last question they go so what are you going to do you're going to be spider-man or
01:40:06.480you're going to be peter parker which one and he says both and then he internalizes and he creates0.99
01:40:11.220both and he and he transforms into something different and he kicks the shit out of everybody0.85
01:40:15.580which is very cool dope yeah but that might actually be the inversion because that is a
01:40:19.760that seems like a very i've been thinking about that it's like that's a dangerous thing
01:40:23.780you've now taken that that one side that probably should be separate and you've merged it with these
01:40:30.780two and then obviously hollywood's going to tell you that yes this is the greatest transformation
01:40:34.240yeah i mean think about that what would it be like to get to a place and i think you and i
01:40:38.020are experiencing this we're getting to this place where like i haven't had to be the sidekick
01:40:41.700the sidekick is minimal now i rarely have ever that dude that has to go along to get along i
01:40:47.300think that's why it's so disorienting when matt goes hey that's top lobster he's famous and i'm
01:40:51.100like christmas i saw the lady on the vespa today i'm like i wonder if she remembers how much she
01:40:55.440hates me uh so so you know i'm rarely ever that sidekick and i spend now my working life is i get
01:41:02.420to be on right so like i'm either uh my alter ego or or for certain moments of the show i get to
01:41:08.700turn it on which like you know that therefore it's happening more at superhero thing more often
01:41:13.880than it used to what happens when you get to a place where like sidekick is like non-existent
01:41:18.560and then you're doing this 50 50 where i'm like alter ego or this superhero stage like these are
01:41:23.920happening 50 50 is that completely unhealthy it's unhealthy yeah it is and so going back to yeah it
01:41:29.020is you have to balance it out you you again you need to be mostly your your um your your your
01:41:34.060alter ego they speaking of the superhero thing you were talking about yeah he's going to be 50 50
01:41:39.020spider-man peter parker there was um i don't know if it's gary wayne's been talking about this but
01:41:42.860there i forget who it was anyway they were talking about how a lot of these marvel movies
01:41:47.180are not overly satanic but they're pushing that certain agenda of transhumanism yeah because you
01:41:53.100know all these are so i think that may be part of it like telling inversion i think is the word you
01:41:57.820used before top is they're they're they're inverting the proper way to do these things which
01:42:02.700is mostly alter ego um a little bit of psychic when necessary but then superhero when needed
01:42:09.740but you cannot be superhero all the time did you guys ever see the tv show mr robot oh uh yeah but
01:42:17.980i couldn't watch him because he was so like he was portraying high level autism and to the extent
01:42:22.700where like the social his display of social quirks uh was so off-putting to me that i i couldn't
01:42:29.100watch it at all i was like yeah you're not socially it was a tough watch it was it was
01:42:34.300fascinating show but it was tough to watch until at the end of the event john leonard and we're
01:42:38.300watching it like you know together like simultaneously and i was like you know john
01:42:41.740this is i like the show i like the writing i think it's really fascinating but something
01:42:45.260about it makes me uncomfortable he says yeah the reason why is that the main character elliot he
01:42:49.580because he has been personality he was in his he was in his superhero all the time the hacker was
01:42:57.320his superhero the real Elliot was actually like in like he was suppressed and we didn't see him to
01:43:04.220like the very last episode of the spoiler alert the very last episode of mr. robot is when the
01:43:08.960real him actually comes back and he and and his superhero shrinks back into his mind and he starts
01:43:15.560becoming himself and so that's why he was so nuts because he was a superhero
01:43:18.800all the time he was on drugs he was using drugs he had like memory lapses
01:43:23.940his mind was deteriorating because you're not meant to be in superhero mode
01:43:27.920all the time but he also had no he had some essay when he was when he was a
01:43:33.020kid he was associating and letting the altar come forward right yes so I think
01:43:38.560that happens with some alters their superhero comes out and to protect them
01:43:42.980him and so his superhero and mr robot took over and he was just a mess that's interesting it makes
01:43:49.140me think about people in the public sphere we we'll wrap it up now i don't want to wrap it up
01:43:54.160this idea uh really got really got me going but i don't know like alex jones or something like
01:43:58.700that like how oh alex jones is permanently in his super right yeah like that dude's on i see him in
01:44:03.500his in his kid and now they seem like you know he seems like good people his son uh rex seems like
01:44:07.880good person but i'm just like how often is alex jones alex jones like when he's eating dinner is
01:44:13.640he alex jones when he's raising his kid that must be exhausting i have heard that when you hang out
01:44:18.800with him he's just like that yeah but so now you've given yourself over 100 to now where does
01:44:24.480the character begin and it's a character for lack of better words and where does where does alex
01:44:29.040start same thing with daniel top ops where do these things mix and merge and i don't even know
01:44:34.080if they're putting thought to it i don't know but it's something that i that i will i mean i know
01:44:39.540like when when there's depends on like the type of show like nefto america is a little bit different
01:44:44.220that's like full top full rate yeah i don't watch your nefto america because you guys don't watch
01:44:48.180it it's insane it's an insane show but when i go to do that show like you flick that switch on
01:44:53.780and like this that's what this show is it's very very fast paced it's very intense it's very insane
01:44:59.080there's the i joke about the lack of filter between my brain and whatever is there i i turn
01:45:05.500that off completely when it's time to do that show um but i know that when i'm done i'm tired
01:45:10.280i feel like dude yeah like that's like if you're on like that all the time that's an early grave
01:45:14.600or something that's like how dudes get heart attacks you know yeah i think it's because
01:45:18.260people don't know this and they don't know that those those three areas and people call it
01:45:23.100different things don't have persona that sort of thing i mean that's why you know john uses you
01:45:26.960sidekick superhero alter ego because they're just common terms right right this is brand new
01:45:31.920information it's just this is different terminology for it that we're using in the in the course but
01:45:36.160it's important to know those things and know that you cannot most people live in their sidekick
01:45:40.320believe it or not most people are not in their superhero because they don't want to be they don't
01:45:43.520want to meet needs most people are in their sidekick most of the time especially we talk
01:45:47.440about the corporate world raven most people yeah are in their sidekick you don't you have no idea
01:45:52.480to who they are you just know who's home too yeah yeah oh yeah yeah and then they can't turn that
01:45:56.840off when they're at the house I think I've been thinking about like what my thing is that's hell
01:46:00.820dude it is it's hard to know for me like what exactly my my thing is um I think it's easy for
01:46:07.560me to see yours from the outside like you have a way of um very quickly cutting to the core of what
01:46:13.180a person is about or is doing and it's hard for me to think about what mine is because I'm in the
01:46:19.700context of the show so i'm like everything's kind of dialed up but i know that when i was younger
01:46:24.320what was really on display was jack sparrow not jack sparrow it was this refusal to like give
01:46:30.680into fear which got me so much trouble i got into so many fights i got arrested i got all these
01:46:37.580stupid things all the time like i was you know i had to go to the scared straight program because0.66
01:46:42.420they were trying to scare me into not being this little criminal anymore but it wasn't so much0.99
01:46:47.280about the allure of crimes it was this refusal to give in to the the gut and the butterfly that
01:46:54.020made me not want to do the thing because it was too scary you know so if somebody was like punking
01:46:58.240me and said you're not going to do shit that was like okay and that switch went off and no matter
01:47:02.960what that feeling was i would immediately go towards it and i think that obviously that's0.95
01:47:08.060very bad for a lot of things but like okay there's there's a lot of situations that may be not
01:47:14.120appropriate for the the show but there's a lot of times where like every alarm was going hey
01:47:19.140don't do this anymore this is scary and i'm going i can't not do this now because you're telling me
01:47:24.800to stop and so i think that that if that is mine that's a real slippery slope you could see exactly
01:47:32.100how that would go bad um but yeah we can wrap it up with this i think maybe maybe next month or
01:47:37.080sometime when we're getting into this in the warfare class maybe i'll have john come on because
01:47:40.940he does he's the one who i'm saying invented but he does a whole part of his flow sets course on
01:47:47.060helping people identify their sidekicks um uh alter ego and superhero and maybe help you know
01:47:53.940you guys kind of clarify crystallize what yours are and maybe help the audience as well so maybe0.97
01:47:58.000oh mine's is a mine's is a racist retarded person yeah it's the worst superheroes but you know what0.93
01:48:03.660it could be worse i saw a lady that just does face dancing she goes well with her face that's0.97
01:48:08.540her superpower okay but i actually think that's kind of talented i go like i actually think1.00
01:48:12.840there's something i go wow i can't do that you know what i mean she does all the face dancing
01:48:16.700i can't do the face very unfortunate but that's where you're wounded you're going to be wounded
01:48:20.460in your superhero because that's where that's when you're most dangerous because that's when
01:48:23.780you're meeting needs right in my but you'll be but you'll be wounded in your alter ego too but
01:48:27.980the biggest one is going to be your superhero that's interesting something to really think
01:48:32.100that yeah man this this episode cooked at the especially toward the end oh before we go yeah
