I am Nate is redundant because I am is me and Nate is me = therefore I am that I am.
Support the show"The hope that I think will come out of this or that will come is that you will have pockets of people who will come together, and it will be very much like it was 150 years ago, where you have these small pockets of people who come together, even if they don't like each other sometimes. But they're a community and they take care of one another, and we have to get out of and I'm an individualist. I've always been that way. I am who I am. But I'm starting to become more of the understanding that as an individual, I am not as powerful as I am. If I am one piece in a mechanized wheel of a small, dedicated, very niche community that is just like me, where my talents are used most effectively and it's not watered down by shoving me in a whole group of people who have the same talents as I do, right? Where my talents are this, that, and the other. And your talents are completely different than mine, but they balance mine out."
Support the show"BlackRock, I know for sure. I heard about them several years ago. I was a real estate agent. They would come into these brand-new subdivisions, buy every house in the subdivision to then lease out. What that does is they would offer really good money for every one of those houses, more than what they're worth. Drives the price up, which makes it impossible for these 22, 23, 24 year olds to actually go buy a brand new home. And so now a house that would have five years ago cost 110, 120, now is 250. And with inflation getting so bad and the lack of pay following it that's expected to an extent. None of these young people are going to be able to afford to actually own their own home, to actually own their own piece. And see, this is where the Paganism comes out for me to actually own their own piece of land, where they can put their blood, sweat, and tears into that piece of land and it is theirs. "
Support the show"I try to keep my ego in check, then I think we're living that life. It's the reason why I'm sitting here saying some shit. And if someone says, hey, I don't believe that, I believe this. And I'm like, that actually makes a lot of sense, because I'm not better than anybody else. Correct. I'm not standing up. I think I said it last time. I'm not standing on an ivory tower with Herald angels rising up behind me, singing courses, and I'm telling you to come up on high and be like me. I'm not even doing that. I don't want you to be like me. No. I want you to find that divinity that's within you. Yes. So that you can be what you're supposed to be. So that you can truly have faith that their steps are ordered and your decisions are made for you. You can devise your path all you want. "
Support the show"I was calling truth as I saw it, which is Christianity does not exist. It doesn't change anybody's life. It makes no sense to me whatsoever. And so at my point, I'm like, fuck it. I'm not doing any of it. I'm pursuing truth. If I'm going to go Western civilization logic, rational, then that's where I'm going. This kind of playing around with faith doesn't work. And that's what's funny to me, is that in my current situation, I have more faith today than I have ever had in my entire fucking life. "
Support the showNate and Mason discuss the ideas of Reincarnation. How they each started down that path.
Show Notes:
Many Lives, Many Masters : Brian Weiss
"I guess my spiritual practice doesn’t exist. I like that simply because I had started meditating twice a day when I first started 1s this journey of mine. Twice a day. In the morning when I first get up early in the morning and in the afternoon before I would go to bed. I found, though, that I began to legalize it for myself to where if I didn’t meditate, it became a sin. Not necessarily in the true sense of the word, but I would feel guilty about not doing it. And then you get into this idea that meditation, on one hand, I think it’s Alan Watts who talks about meditation should be nothing. And then you have the other idea where I can meditate and I can send protection energy to people. And I was doing that quite a bit because I had someone in my life that was going through some shit in order to try to keep them well, I guess hold them up in prayer kind of thing. But in order to do that, I would spend a lot of time meditating for that purpose. Eventually, I realized I was making it a tenant as opposed to just something I wanted to do. I journaled for a while. And then that, too, became more guilt-ridden because in our upbringing, if you didn’t do something like you think you should do it, then you’re going to hell."
Support the show"I have seen those leaders commit a spiritual abortion on people in spiritual murder. They've committed spiritual murder on people. So they're not a lover of God or a pursuer of God, or they would have recognized the need when they saw it. So those individuals, though they have made themselves within the institutional religion, whatever religion that is, they're still animals and should be treated as well. I mean, when you put your own ideals above the love of people, then you've got a problem.
I kid you not. It makes me wonder how many of these kids going through shit these days, because whether it's their parents, whether whatever, they have no one to turn to. And so then they turn to people that are fucking them over, whether it's religion or not, who are just completely screwing these kids over, taking advantage of grooming, whatever you want to call it, as opposed to. "
"Even those that are saying, come on, it's just fine, are still in the ankle-deep water. And all of a sudden, something picked me the fuck up and threw me up in the deep end where I can't fucking swim. And I'm actually swimming, and I'm actually doing all this.
And now I'm looking at the people in the shallows and they're looking at me like a heretic out the deep water. "What are you doing out there? You're not supposed to be out there."
I'm not even judging anyone, because now it's gotten to where in the last week, it's been like fuck it, I'm going to do what I'm going to do, and this is fucking awesome. And I'm not going to tie it to anything. I'm just going to let it be. "
"This doesn't mean that certain tenets within religion aren't viable alternatives. I.E. the prayer beads and the Catholicism. I think there's something beautiful about that liturgy that you're performing. But if you think about it, it's no different than the Buddhist who has the beads and doing the OM and these sorts of things. So is it wrong to be a Catholic? No. But are you a Catholic so that you can say, I'm a Catholic and all other people? Or are you Pentecostal because you're one God apostolic tongue, talking, holy, rolling, born again in the name of Jesus Christ kind of shit? Well, I mean, that's fine if you want to believe that, but understand that that is an ego thing that is not stepping outside and actually ascending past religion and seeing not even the face of God, but the face of whatever we try to attempt to say is God, right? And so even in that label of God, I think that allows us to be ego, because then if I know God, then I can judge you who don't know God, right? And I'm not even trying to. I'm in the point where right now I'm an ego because I'm kind of judging others. But it's not necessarily that I'm judging people. It's that I'm trying to say, are you stuck in your ego? Are you stuck in this idea that you've got to have these specific aspects of God in order to become holy? "
Support the showNate and Mason discuss the idea of Twin Flames. Well, actually, they start talking about that idea and then meander all over the place.
Nate: "This is probably one of my most favorite series of episodes since we began recording. I'm so excited to see how well they do."
