Dive into a mind-expanding exploration of spirituality, consciousness, and the very fabric of existence. What if our brains are not just biological machines but finely tuned antennas, receiving and processing information from the infinite vastness of God’s consciousness? As we move through dark matter—God's essence itself—we uncover profound messages and seek to decipher the ultimate meaning of life. In this episode, I challenge the role of ritualistic religion, questioning if it stifles the individual journey to connect with God. Join me as I break free from tradition and embrace a personal, transformative relationship with the divine.
Job 1:6-12
New International Version
6 One day the angels[a] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan[b] also came with them. 7 The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”
9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
John 14:8-9
New International Version
8:Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”
9: Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

#6 - God is Good and Evil, Everything and Nothing - Part 1

In this episode, I present the possibility every one of us, believers and non-believers, are both, correct and wrong, about who or what god is. Everyone on earth sees god from different perspectives, angles, and with different lenses, creating a unique view of god. However, I argue not a single person on earth has the complete or true vision of god.
Exodus 3:13-15
New International Version
13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?” I find this interesting, Moses refers to god as "the god of your fathers," He did not believe this voice came from one of his gods, remember, he still considered himself Egyptian, and probably believed in many gods.
14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am.[a] This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”
Exodus 33:11
New International Version
11 The Lord spoke to Moses face to face as a man speaks with his friend
Exodus 33:18-23
New International Version
18 Then Moses said, “Now, please show me your glory [C asking for god's manifest presence].”
19 The Lord answered, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will announce my name, the Lord, so you can hear it. I will show ·kindness [favor] to anyone to whom I want to show ·kindness [favor], and I will show ·mercy [compassion] to anyone to whom I want to show ·mercy [compassion]. 20 But you cannot see my face, because no one can see me and live.
21 “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock. 22 When my glory passes that place, I will put you in a large ·crack [fissure; T cleft] in the rock and ·cover [screen] you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will ·take away [remove] my hand, and you will see my back. But my face must not be seen.”

#8 - Jesus Was Lied to by His Parents

Dive into the intriguing possibility of how Joseph and Mary may have shaped Jesus' life by lying to him telling him he was the chosen one. Explore how his belief in that lie influenced his philosophy, actions, and the historical ripple effects of his existence. Despite living a life centered on this idea, Jesus emerged as a profound thinker with a timeless approach to humanity and life. In this episode, I encourage you to live a life filled with goodness, not because of the fear of hell or to get a reward in heaven. Instead, I advocate for a life of goodness, rooted in the truth that we are all interconnected parts of this universe and of each other
Job 1:6-12
English Standard Version
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.
1 Corinthians 11:1
New International Version
Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
