- [03:40]
B
How you doing, Craig? Oh, very well, thanks. Good to be back. Nice to see you again.
- [03:44]
A
Thank you so much for coming back, my friend. Our last conversation was there was a lot of predictions in there and unfortunately, a lot of those predictions came true, sadly. Yes, sadly, a lot of those, A lot of those predictions that you, you laid out in that first interview have come true. And the, the world is a bit upside down now, but. So my first question is, when you tune into humanity right now, what do you see first or feel first?
- [04:16]
B
Right. Well, division, I think, is the key word, isn't it? And I think I would also say unconsciousness in many ways, because sometimes division is caused when people fall into a sort of a mass unconsciousness. I mean, it happened before the beginning of the Second World War. I remember Carl Jung talking about how a mass unconsciousness kind of takes over a nation and people fall and, and people kind of fooled. They're looking outside for answers when they should be looking inside for answers, really. And, and you, you sort of think, well, I, I'm mixed up in myself. I've got to find something I can belong in. So it could be this extreme or that extreme. This is where politics and religion. So that's my first thought, but behind it out, I think there's something better too. I think something good's going to come out of Bullpen.
- [05:08]
A
Tell me, tell me, what do you think is going to come out of all of this?
- [05:10]
B
Well, it's going to take a time and I've been exploring all sorts of things to try to work out what the agenda is ahead of us. Now, obviously, I've been using clairvoyance for some of this. Of course, that's what my whole channel is all about, doing clairvoyance and seeing next week's news today. But I also explore India, and I know you've had on your show Dr. Q, who's of course, close friend of mine, and look at the Nadi oracles. And I know many Nadi readers, and I've been looking at the ancient oracles of India and seeing what they can say. And lots and lots is being revealed at the moment. So I think we've got a very tough time ahead up until about 20, 30, and then things start to change. And I'm a great. And I know many other psychic people and spiritual people and astrologers all kind of have the same gut feeling and have done through the centuries, really, that we are still, despite the darkness, there's brightness ahead. I think what we're going through at the moment is, I would call it birth pangs. They're uncomfortable. I don't have them myself, of course, but, I mean, from what you see, they're uncomfortable, they're painful. It's. But there's something beautiful at the end of it. And. And I think this is what we're going. We're going through a birth pang to a better age, a new age. And that would take some explaining. It's not all. Not all champagne and rubber plants and cocktails and holidays. It's something much deeper that. But, so, yes, we got to go through this at the moment. And I think, actually it's a really important time to be living. I think we're some of the luckiest individuals on Earth to be living at this time, actually, because I feel we're at the time of a turning point where our significance as people is very important. And also the opportunities for us to find spiritual advancement in these times is probably greater than any other time in human history.
- [07:12]
A
It's interesting that I love the analogy of the birth pains because it's. Exactly. It's a great analogy of what we're going through right now. But if you go through history, if you just look through history, we've gone through many of these. It just seems now, I mean, different world wars, different issues. I mean, volcanoes exploding over throughout history, earthquakes, massive shifts in humanity. Obviously there's that flood thing that happened a few thousand years ago, 10,000 or so years ago, and all of these things. So it seems like humanity keeps going through all of this, I think. But right now it seems or feels so much more Amplified because of technology and the connection we all have. And we're able to see things instantly as they're, you know, as they're happening. Where before In World War II there was the newsreels, that's the only way we would get information about what was going on in World War II is we go to a movie theater, we sit down and there would be a quick two or three minute newsreel. Now you just pick up your phone and you're ready. You're watching the bombs being dropped or you're watching this political thing, or you're watching this. It's, it's just. Do you, do you agree with that? Do you think that's just because we're so amplified, feel so amplified?
- [08:33]
B
Absolutely. I mean never before in human history have been so connected on one level and so disconnected on another level, you know, because I mean they, they talk about, you know, join this community and that community. They're not communities. Communities are where you actually meet people face to face and you, you have to have your normal human interactions without hiding behind usernames and things like this, you know. And I think we've had a boost in artificial intelligence and a dumbing down of human intelligence as well. I think people have lost the ability to communicate with one another. And of course now we're in a situation where we got all this so called news, but we don't know what's real and what's not. And that makes it even worse because normally here in the uk, you know, people would, most of the discussions would be down the pub, you know, people have a chat over a pint of beer and they'd all, they'd all shout off about this and that and, and come away and nobody's changed their minds at all. But everybody's spoken their thoughts. Nowadays you don't know what's real and what's not. And I think this is where, where we have so much fear because we don't trust our politicians often we can't trust our spiritual leaders too with some of the horrible things that we see coming out of that. We, where do we look? Where do we look? And every time we look outside we're finding all the time we find delusions and people mixed up and people who think they've got enlightenment and spouting off about all sorts of craziness. There's no common sense. And I think all the time, I think what we've got to come back to always is we got to first and foremost say who am I? Who am I? If I chucked all this rubbish out. If there wasn't all this Internet, if there wasn't all these people, if there wasn't all these opinions being put on me by left or by right, and it was just me, what would I think, you know, and that's why I think people go wrong sometimes because they're always kind of wanting to associate with this, wanting to be part of this, you know, wanting to feel part of the group consciousness. And I think that's where it's going wrong. We've got to get back to our individual consciousness. And although, you know, the Internet and everything and advertising particularly is telling you how unique you are and how this is your choices and things like that and, and they use all that jargon to market and advertise things, the fact is we've that sense of self identity, we've lost that ability to stand on our own feet and we lost the courage to stand up and be wrong sometimes. And I think that is what's critical at the moment in the human. How can we say that? It's the spirit of our age at the moment. It's like we've lost our sense of courage to be ourselves and the courage to say something wrong and the courage to, to think, say the emperor's got no clothes, you know, and I think this is a fundamental problem that I feel when I sort of, you know, because a lot of what I do is obviously talking to people all around the world. When you're doing things like mediumistic and psychic readings, it's amazing how you talk. I can be talking to someone in China one day, Taiwan. I can be talking to someone in India, in America, uk, you know, all over. All over. And everybody's got the same worries, the same concerns, the same fears is universal. And you know, we're going wrong, we're going wrong somewhere. And I think, I think I know what we're missing and I think we're identifying. We're looking at the wrong place for the answers to happiness. We got to find the happiness in ourselves, not be trying to seek it elsewhere. And that's a slippery slope when we do that.
- [12:20]
A
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now back to the show. But Craig, isn't it what you were saying that, you know, everyone's trying to go into different kind of camps or sides or tribes, but this is a very primal thing as a human, Humans want, we're, we're, we are community based beings, you know, animals, we need community because that's the only way we survive. We're not really truly built for this planet. Really. Well, we don't have fur that covers us from the sun. If we stay on the sun, we burn. You know, we're not particularly stronger than most of the other mammals or animals out there. The only thing we got going for us is these guys right here, these thumbs and, and our brains. That's the only. Our community is what. What primarily we always kind of instinctually go to, to find which is, which is fine. And. But by doing that, you kind of give your power away to the tribe, to the community, to the organization. And that could be religious, government, economic, spiritual, whatever that thing is. But, but to find what you're saying, to find yourself, to look for the answers inside. Take someone who is strong and someone who is willing to do the work, to go inward because there's a lot of baggage, there's shadow work, there's other things like that that you kind of have to go through to start answering these questions or meditation deep going in, deep within yourself. So I think a lot of people are, you know, that's in a best case scenario when people are scared, which is what's happening now, then you. Then I gotta join someone, I gotta join something to survive. That's on a subconscious level. Does that any of that make sense to you?
- [14:17]
B
Yeah, I agree with you. I mean, meditation and spirituality shouldn't be a. A disengagement with the world. It's got to be the complete opposite to that. Ultimately we've got to see the world as the meditation, as it all. But I think a way, I think is a good way to try to address these things is yes, we've got to always be focused on ourselves. We've got to be balanced on ourselves. We can't. If we can't stand firm ourselves, we haven't got the courage to stand in our life. We're not much good to the world, but we can find a lot of support, particularly I feel with the people close to us, first of all. And I think the way to reach the world, because we've got, it's all got diluted so much. You spoke about, you know, associating with the tribe and things. We don't, can't even associate with our nation at the moment. We always feel even our nation feels wrong to us, you know, but so what I think the way to start is really, I think it's one of the values we've lost is the family. Because if we can, if we can have a love for the family and it's easy to have love for those close by to us. Not always. I know people in the family can be worse than anybody, but generally we love our children. Generally we love the people around us. So that love that's in the family is a starting point. That's where our happiness in life can be. And I think a lot of people have become so selfish, they forget about that. That's, that's an important thing. But if we can get that strong in our life, then we can extend out into the community, then we can extend out into the nation, then we can extend out to the world. But it has to have its roots in something that is close to us and has emotional meaning to us as well as spiritual meaning. And I think this is where we've gone wrong with a lot of it because it's all about me first. Me first. My job, my income, my work, my, you know, my holiday. Everything. Everything's got to be about what I'm getting, not what can you give me, what can I put in should be our thoughts, you know. And I think this is perhaps one of the fundamentals where I feel people are so unhappy because you know, people come to me for readings and things and they when will I meet my soulmate? You know, and things like this. And it's like, but look, you've got to be your soulmate first. Otherwise you, all you're going to do is throw yourself away on someone else and then you've lost your footing straight away and you might some control freak that's going to mess your head in. So you've got to be strong first in yourself. We've got to be our own person. We've got to be kind of a maverick in many ways and not a non conformist. Each of us should be like that. Then I think if we're strong within ourselves, you find that all the people that are meant to be with you in life will come to you and the connections come automatically because you know, we're talking here about a world that's very material. But my understanding of the world is there's nothing material at all about it. It's all consciousness. And all the events that happen are just like Shakespeare said, it's like a play, it's like a game, it's like something that's just happening. And miraculous things can happen to us sometimes when we get our head in the right place. And if we're going to change our own personal world, I'm a great believer if we get ourselves in the right values within ourselves. And I'm not talking about this abundance, greed, sort of thinking that's a lot of people that you think greedy all the time. And things will come to now when we get ourselves into harmony with like the Qing would have said with the, with the Dao when we're in harmony with things and things will come back into our lives quite automatically and happiness will flow into our lives automatically on a human level and the same is on the world too. We've got to see it all not just as things happening on the news. We've got to see it as the flow of existence. This is the mind of God. This is the opening of the consciousness of the universe us. And when we think positive thoughts, positive things start to happen in our lives and positive things happen in the world. So I say, you know, because I make so many predictions, the newspapers often call me the Prophet of doom. But I like to hopefully be a prophet of hope because I think we can overcome all that and we can create a better world. And it has to come from within because if there's going to be a golden age, if there's going to be a happy age ahead, that will be when we found absolute peace and certainty within ourselves. When we are at one with the idea that there's absolute peace, there's absolute bliss in the universe that all is consciousness, that all is fluid, that there should need to be no fear whatsoever in our lives because we've understood that the spirit as it were is far, far greater than, than anything else that can be thrown at is the lower vibration is what we call the material world. I've gone off in one day, I've got.
- [19:03]
A
No, no, no, that's beautiful said. That's, that's absolutely beautifully said. And you, and you were obviously you're, you do a lot of predictions and I like the Prophet of doom. That's interesting but, but speaking of, of prophets, the most famous of the prophets. Prophets, not in the religious sense but in a predicting of what was going to come in. It's Nostradamus, one of the most famous ones and he was mentioning, I mean I've been hearing about the Middle east being the core of a new world war forever and then you know, Iraq and Kuwait and you know, and it's been, we've been teasing it for years. Afghanistan obviously, all this stuff but Iran now is a whole other, this is a whole other. I'm in my lifetime, I've not seen this. This is a completely different energy from the leadership that we have here in the States to what's going on now in Iran. And there is negative, obviously a lot of negative behind it. But I've heard people from Iran who are very happy about the regime, you know, that they're, they're trying to knock down the regime because there's such, so, so many horrific things that that regime is doing to its own people. So it's really interesting what is your impression of what I, what Iran represents, where we're going and, and how is this situation going to continue to unfold? Because there's two players right now who are still being very quiet. Russia and China are, are being very, very quiet. And they are two gorillas in the room that we have to kind of
- [20:46]
B
absolutely keep an eye out for. Yeah, yeah. And this is what I've been talking about a lot in my predictions. And also interestingly, what's been coming up from these oracles in India. I'd briefly shortly explain. The oracles in India are thousands of years old. They're individual nadi leaves that are written for individual people. And it tells you about your future and it tells you things in there like your name of your mother, the name of your father, who you are in the time of your birth and things like that. Impossible to know things. And they give people's futures, but occasionally in them, they'll tell you something also about what's happening in the world around you. And we've been looking at multiple readings that have come through people and asking people to bring them together and say, is there anything in your readings that suggests anything about the future? And we also get an opportunity sometimes to ask some of these oracles, which. There's a blank leaf called a jiva nadi, which you. Which the words appear on the leaf. Okay, this is a weird stuff. Look at your other videos on your channel. But when it's. We've been getting more and more and we've had six or more and sometimes we've had a. We've put a few people in touch with these ancient oracles who have quite high politicians in the usa. I'm not going to say who's who, but we. They wanted to find out. You can find your political chapter, as it were, and they wanted to know if they're going to be elected or not, basically. But some pretty scary stuff's been coming up, to be honest, because it says that the war that's happening in the Middle east is the start of something bigger. And it's going to take a good two years before we can get out of this stage of things. We've got already Happening. They talking about April time coming up. The next month is going to be quite a hard time. We're going to have another hard time in August when it comes to burst into flame again, as it were.
- [22:43]
A
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now back to the show.
- [22:53]
B
But the problem is, is that it talks about also countries that we've identified. The old name of Japan has been in there, for example, and it said there might be some big geological problem around Japan, which we're interpreting as some form of Earth movement that happens around 2028, time of the American elections. Similarly, at the same time, Russia and China get involved, and from this they turn against the USA in 2028, November 2028. So it's out there. This is going to be a very, very difficult period when we. Maybe it's going to be when we start to get the big crisis over Taiwan and we start to see things worse. And it. It is telling us to warn the world. It's telling us to say, and I don't like to be the prophet of doom, but the thing is also saying in there, because what these oracles say to us is that they try to give us a remedy. And they keep saying over and over again that the remedy is for people to basically meditate, to pray, to open their thoughts, to see in a brighter, beautiful world ahead. To keep the focus on the fact that this is a time where. When it's a turning point, it's a birth, it's not a destruction of the world. It's a time when we can get to a very, very beautiful time in our lifetimes in which they're talking about the return of higher consciousness, the return of the. Talking about the Rishis will return. And that can be many. It could be. I see you're into Yogananda, for example, with the awake thing in the background there. It could be the return of people of his caliber and more, not just one, not some big revelation of some great one guru or another saying, many will return and it will change human awareness, it will change human consciousness. It will awaken us to the idea that we are more than just a material being. So it. But it has to come out of this difficult period, they say, and when this turns, it would be for the better. So to keep our eyes on the light at the end of the tunnel and forget about the darkness because we will have some hard times. I feel ahead they will be tough going, particularly with the. And I've also personally said that at the time of the Taiwan crisis, which will come up next. There will also be an internal revolution within China where they turn against their own leader. And eventually China will break up into multiple countries, not as one country. And even Russia itself will change much, much, much further ahead. And we'll even have a female leader of Russia in due course. Stop it.
- [25:38]
A
Get out.
- [25:38]
B
Yeah, it seems impossible stuff, but you would have thought, you know, I mean, these sound like impossible things, but we were talking about this some time ago and look at the impossible, you know, invasion of Greenland. Who would have ever thought that sort of thing could have ever been on the table? The, the things that happened in Venezuela, you know, I mean, what was all that about? You never thought anybody could have done those sort of things. The rules have been completely overturned at the moment. And, you know, perhaps it's been necessary on, on one level because there's some very corrupt people in the world on all sides, you know, in our own countries as well as abroad. And something's got to be shaken up. We can't just leave it to fester and fester and fester. A lot of the problems we have is because we've been too scared to, to poke the fire, but it's got to be sorted out. Otherwise you imagine what it would have been like if Iran had a nuclear capacity and was throwing bombs around the Middle east the way it's throwing missiles around at the moment, just to disrupt the world economy. You know, it's horrifying on one level, but necessary. It's like the birth is necessary. The pain is necessary to get us to another spot. Yeah. And that's where I feel things are kind of going.
- [26:57]
A
So, so let me ask you, because I'm of Cuban descent, and now Cuba is going through absolute hell. No, no more power. I mean, the entire country is without electricity. That's how fragile their system was. And now people are starting to revolt. And because once you pull electricity away from them, then really what's, what's the point? Like, they're just like, well, I'm just going to start burning things. And that's exactly what's happening. And the, the government is, can't keep control of anything. And it's. And, and the, the States are, are talking about going in and, you know, taking over and kind of what they did in Venezuela. What is your. Do you have any insight on what's going to happen in Cuba? Out of pure morbid curiosity on my point, my part.
- [27:49]
B
Right.
- [27:49]
A
Yeah.
- [27:49]
B
Well, that was one of the things I was saying that at the beginning of the year, I Usually make a set of predictions and one of the things I said is, would be absolute disorder in Cuba over Cuba. I remember the Cuban Missile crisis, believe it or not, at school, and we were all terrified about that because we didn't quite know what was going on and our mums and dads were terrified. Yeah, I, I, obviously Cuba's, you know, I mean, I lost my Internet the other day for three days and I couldn't cope. Where am I going to, what am I going to do without Internet? You know, particularly I'm a YouTuber. What am I going to do? You know, that's just the act. But you imagine what it's like when you pull the plug on everything and the lights go out. I, I feel that Cuba will go through an upheaval and same way I feel that China is going to go through an upheaval. It's often when you take the, when, when people are uncomfortable, when the food's taken away, usually when food prices go up. That's when the Arab Spring blew up, when there was a shortage of foods and with shortage of any commodity that is essential for life is obviously a trigger. But my feeling is that, I feel that Cuba will, will come out of this, well, a massive place for, I mean, I can, I can sense the gambling halls and the holiday companies all invest in it.
- [29:09]
A
You know, for decades we've been, they've been waiting like the us it was supposed to be Vegas before, before Vegas was in, in Los, in Las Vegas in Nevada. It was supposed the mob was going to go to Cuba and build out Vegas until that Castro guy showed up.
- [29:27]
B
Yeah, I knew some people that manufactured slot machines and I remember years back they thought something might happen with Cuba and they were, they were really ramping up manufacturing to do that. I, I talked to all sorts of people with my work. You know, these were at Mafia, I don't think, but, but, you know, but I. So it's a massive place for investment. It's a potentially. I mean, it's a beautiful country. So I've not been there, but what a lovely, unspoiled, really. I mean, wonderful. But I think I feel the Cuba will come out all right in the end. I think there will be a, I think we're going to see internal strife within all countries of the world. I mean, Cuba's ripe for a revolution. Sure. When we look at the uk, there's ripe for a revolution in many ways. There's some big divisions here. France, Germany, Sweden, all. There's so much social division, particularly with the huge influx that Europe has had, for example, with people from other countries. We've got sometimes, like London, for example, has got 60% people from abroad now and very big, strong conflicts between Islam and the rest too. I mean, these are things that we don't like to talk about because we like to think of the unity of all religions and things, but there's some very, very bad thinking on with, with these things at the moment. So I think we're going to see worldwide a lot of upheavals and revolutions when the whole world starts to sort of shake, where we start running out of oil, we start running out of food shortages coming soon, I feel, because this Straits of Hormuz is not just about oil, it's about manufactured goods. It's also about getting food from one side of the world to the other. And we've here in the, in, in Europe, we've had massive floods recently with the extensive rain, constant, constant concert. The crops are in a bad way, food runs out, things like that. You know, you get a lot of public unrest and I feel that this will happen around the world, but maybe we need it again. Maybe this is another birth pang because everybody is.
- [31:37]
A
So
- [31:40]
B
we just can't trust any. We don't trust the big businesses, we don't trust the global companies, we don't trust our politicians and we're voting for them with our votes and with our money all the time and they run off into their tax havens and none of the money comes back. Here in the uk, our roads are just a massive potholes. You know, what's happened to the basics in our world. So the world is at a state of major, major change. Not just on the Middle east crisis that we spoke about, but if you look at it all around the world, every country in the world is going through an absolute earthquake at the moment. And sadly, I also feel that on top of this, we're going to see a number of major global disasters of some sort that may be related. I mean, Cayce talked about the shift of the Earth's poles, for example, where we already are seeing in the last 10 years more of a change in the Earth's magnetic field than ever before in the recorded history of those things. There's been some quite big shifts. He might have been picking up that that was what was going to happen at this time. We're definitely at a shifting, changing point.

We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now back to the show.

B
But something good will come out of it. I am absolutely convinced and so are many of the astrologers and so many of the other psychic people and the spiritual people and the, the people I've met in India, for example. I mean, Yogananda obviously comes to mind, but he spoke to Babaji and people like that. And, and I've spoken to some of the Sid yogis in there, people that live in caves and covered in ash and things like this. And I had translators with me and they've told us to look forward to a better world. It will be a better world that this, this is not the end of things, this is just the beginning of things. And I feel like, I say this is a good time to be born in, but we've just got to keep our nerve and keep moving. In the end, the, the thing is
- [33:48]
A
the one thing that every empire, every company, every sports team that had any sort of success, the only common denominator is they all eventually fall. It changes all of it. Rome. Thousand years hanging around for Egypt. How many thousands of years was the, the Egyptian empire running? It all goes. And when you're in it though, you could be like, ah, that'll never happen. I'm sure when the UK was, it was in, when England was the world dominating power. They'll be like, ah, we'll be this, we'll be here forever. I mean, and, and obviously that's not the case anymore. But the US is in a similar state. Like, oh, the US is us. Like, you know, there's nowhere and it's written that we're going to go on as a, as a global superpower forever. You know, and we can just look at France, we could look at England, we could look at Spain. All of them had a turn as a global superpower. And, and the same thing with companies. We've seen it with companies. I mean, for God's sakes, here, Sears, 120 years or something like that. Sears was going around and it's gone. It's gone, you know, because things change. So it's, it's a thing for people to understand that we, that there's nothing. The only thing that's really, that's deter. That is written in the stars is change. Always Earth, change everything. I wanted to ask you. So you mentioned about the pole shifts. What would actually happen to the Earth if the polls did? I mean, I'm assuming like tomorrow morning we're going to wake up and now the North Pole is in China. Like, I know that's not going to happen, but I hope it doesn't. But what would actually happen to the planet. If all that happens, obviously Antarctica would be, would melt and, and all that stuff would come up. I mean, what would happen?
- [35:40]
B
Well, that's the magnetic pole rather than the, the, the axis pole.
- [35:45]
A
Okay.
- [35:45]
B
So. Yeah, okay, that's, that's the, that's the thing. And, and, and I'm no scientist, so I couldn't really answer that question fully to be honest. But I'm sure it would be quite a, A, a disruption certainly to our satellite systems and anything that requires a magnetic north. I mean most of the electronic systems require some adjustments. For example, satel quite has to adjust itself all the time for the movement of the, the, the pole shifts, you know, so that sudden shifts that throw everything right out of balance. So that's. Yeah. So that's just one other potential thing. Yeah. One other go wrong sort of thing.
- [36:25]
A
Well, I mean in the la. In the last, you know, 20 odd years, things that we thought would never, we'd never see have happened again and again and again and again in every aspect of our lives. So let's turn our attention now to the economy, the world economy, specifically because I've been saying this for years. I'm, I'm no, I'm no economic. Economic. I can't say the word, but you know what I mean, Economist, I'm no economist, but the. We're due, we're so due. Were overdue for a major correction or a major shift or something happening in the economic world. It seems like there's cracks are starting to form. You know, we got gold up to like 5,400, US$5,500. That's insane. It's, it's come down since then, but there's things that are happening. You could start seeing the tea leaves if you will, that there's something going on with the economy. What is your, your take on. I mean Obviously the U.S. economy is one of those driving factor. U.S. economy goes down, the entire world goes down. But in general, I think the economic future. Where do you see, where do you see that?
- [37:41]
B
Well, my feeling is for a long time is that somehow we're going to have to rethink things because the system we've got at the moment doesn't really work very well. I mean when I look at cryptocurrencies, it's almost like a Ponzi scheme. They work. The more people keep pouring money in, the more it keeps, keeps generating money to give out. But, but sooner or later we run out and it's, it's kind of all. It strikes me it's all like this. It all seems to me to be where do we put our, our faith in, in our security. And my feeling is that it will pop eventually because if we have, if, if I'm right about what I say about China, for example, and supposing the Chinese economic system collapse, that could equally bring down the dollar and everything else as well with it because we're all so interconnected at the moment. And again, when I turn back to what the oracles are telling us, they're saying invest in land, invest in farming, invest in having some. And Yogananda said this too actually in some of his talks with people, not in his book so much but some of the discussions he had with people he spoke about that we'll get to a point where people would need to think about returning back to more of a land based economy where because I think the problem is large is dangerous. I think small is better if we have small, you know, like everything depends on, you know, I buy my strawberries and they've been flowing into South America, you know, or, or I, and that seems madness to me. And yet I live in a strawberry growing area here in the uk, you know, so, so we, we are sort of, I think wasting ourselves on throwing away into a system that is an illusion really because it's. I promise to bear pay the bearer. It says on, on the uk.
- [39:29]
A
Same here. Yeah.
- [39:30]
B
You know, and, and but it can't, we haven't got the gold. We don't even know if Fort Knox has got any gold in it. It's never been counted for years and years and years. So, and God knows what, they must have spent it all in, in the UK a long time ago. We're even worse than you guys, you know. And so we've been living beyond our means for a long time and I feel that it will pop. I think we will get a very serious situation with it. But again we were told when I was talking to some of the Indian seers that not to fear for this again because it won't go sudden. We won't get like a 1930s crash is a gradual decline and there's a gradual decline. I think, you know, I think for example, AI is overvalued and just like we had so much pouring into the.com boom. My feeling is, you know, AI boom. You know, everybody thinks AI will solve everything. It can only, it's only a tool. It can't do it all. I know it's the most incredible tool we've had since the Industrial Revolution, but it's still it's still fallible. It's not the answer to everything. It's not going to make everybody money because everybody's got it, you know, so, so, so I think there are going to be a lot of adjustments and I, I feel that over the next three years again because I think the next three years ahead times, particularly up to the time of the 2028, around that time we're going to see bouncing, you know, bouncing stock markets and everything. So you can't put your money into gold and think it's safe or into silver and think it's safe or into anything really. I feel get, if you're going to put your money in anywhere, don't think about how much money I can invest and make. I would say what would last if everything collapsed? You know, I've got a home usually safe, you know, except in war usually. But property prices are going down at the moment. Probably a good time to buy something much more sensible, I feel something that actually has some solid value to it because ultimately money represents something else. It represents gold or it represents property or it represents something that we can own but we can't own these ephemeral things. And I know that's how the system works. But ultimately I think on a personal level my, my attitude is I put my money into things I don't. In other things I keep into things around me that I've got that I need, you know.
- [41:53]
A
Yeah. And the thing is that money is an illusion. It has been since the, the beginning of time. I mean the only thing that we've kind of all agree upon is that this rock called gold has value to it in one way, shape or form. And same thing for silver as, as like hard. But they're just metal. They're, you know, they're just an element. It's illusion. So we, and then now since we got pulled off the gold standard by Nixon back in the day, then our dollar is not connected to anything before at least it was connected to this rock that we all kind of agreed had some sort of value to it. And now it's ethereal. Like you said, it's all based on what we all just agree. It's a, it's a contract. It's a non verbal contract that this little piece of paper in my pocket or these ones and zeros that we see on a computer screen are things that we could buy goods and services with. We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now back to the show.
- [43:03]
B
But it is the same with every single thing we have in life though, isn't it? Even the people around us. And everything, everything is ephemeral. Everything is subject to change and money always will come and go. And I think it's important in life to, to let money flow through your life rather than hold on to it. Because I feel when you do that if you think of, think about the universe in a different way, think of a bit. It's all consciousness, it's all the mind of God. It's all an illusion, all of it, not just the money. But we need to let things flow through our lives. I, I, I think Gandhi, when he died, he only had a few dollars in his bank account because he'd always let it go through and given away again, gain. And I think that money should be there and shared really. I think in the hands of the right person it's a real boon. But if it's, if it's in the hands of someone that wants to hold on to it. I've always seen people that get very, very selfish with money usually end up with pretty miserable lives with not much to show for it. I know. Cry all the way to the bank, they say, but no, but I think generally in a person's life, if you just allow money to flow through your life, it usually comes. Comes, it usually comes. And if you've got the faith in, in just letting it happen, we'll always have enough, we'll always have enough to, to get by. So. But the thing that does last is our personal virtue. Who we are, what we've developed. This is what we will take into our next life and into the worlds beyond. Because if you believe in the next life, then we're going to take something with us. What can we take? A shroud has no pockets. My Nan used to say to me, but we can take who we are, our memories, the good experiences we've had, who and who we've developed to become in this life. That's where our treasure is. And so when people worry all the time about what's going to happen to the economy, what's going to happen to money, I think that's a secondary thing. Think about who you are, what you're doing in life and what you're becoming. And I don't feel that the universe will ever desert you if you, if you, if you get on that spiritual wavelength with things, it will, it's the universe is here to support consciousness ultimately. And all these things that are happening in the world are secondary. What is important is what's happening to you as a Person inside? Are you becoming a greater, more conscious being? Are you becoming a better, valuable person? Have you developed kindness in this lifetime? Have you developed compassion and love in this lifetime? Those are your treasures, and those are things you'll take with you. And when we lay on our deathbeds, we don't think to ourselves, I wish I'd made more money because you can't take it with you. You'll be thinking to yourself, I wish I had all the love people I love with me could come with me into the next step and that will happen. So, yeah, values, right? I say, I think we delude ourselves. And we got to remind ourselves that, you know, that is the mayor. That is the illusion and the truth is so wonderful, really. And that's what the new age would be. That's what the golden age will be when we realize that the power of what's within us is far more powerful than everything that's outside. That's what the awakening is. And we don't have to wait for some bloke to come along and give us that awakening. We have to do it ourselves and start now. Because the awakening is when everybody starts to wake up. It's like many, many candles, many, many stars in the sky until it becomes brightest. You could look at. Because the glory will come from each individual, not from some messiah or avatar or whatever. They're all there to teach us to wake up, to realize that, you know, sometimes we can see, oh, that person is God or God conscious, but that. What they're saying is you are God conscious conscious. You've got to become God conscious. And when that happens, well, who cares whether the. The dollars dropped or not? It don't matter.
- [46:43]
A
Right, Right.
- [46:44]
B
I'm very idealistic, but I. I think that is the way to look at things if we. If we can.
- [46:50]
A
So with Craig, you mentioned a little earlier, and we kind of. You kind of touched upon it now with the avatars and. And God consciousness and these kind of souls that come in the world. There has been recently a lot of spiritual leaders who are starting to fall, and we're starting to see who they truly are as a human behind the scenes. I've gone on a rant, I've gone on like this binge of watching documentary series on fallen spiritual leaders and just trying to study what the common. The common things are. And I. It's so clear. I mean, you see the. It's a pattern. It's a blueprint, how they do it. I mean, every cult, every, you know, spiritual organization, a lot of times or spiritual leaders who, you know, it's fascinating to see, but a big one that just obviously came out was Oprah and what happened in the, in the list that was released. And that kind of really took me, that I was shocked by that and when I mentioned it to people because he was such a big deal in, in the West. I mean, he brought a lot of Eastern ideas, so he did a lot of good in the world. Did a lot of good in the world. But yet he was a very flawed. He is a very flawed man and despicable in many things that he has done and said and so on. But then you start looking back at all of these different spiritual leaders from, you know, from. I just saw a documentary about Kundalini Yoga and that, that leader, that Yogi and Osha and, and, and new things are coming out about him and John of God and so on. And that's. On the spiritual standpoint. Let's not even talk about the Catholic Church and, and other major religions around the world who have been, you know, things have been bastardized by their leaders and so on. What does this all mean for us right now? Because there was a time, and I always use the Catholic Church as a, as a recovering Catholic myself, that I use the Catholic Church as a. Me as an example because as I was growing up and prior to me even being on this planet, the Catholic Church was infallible. It was a part. It was just this monument to God and, and they could do no wrong. But obviously in the last 50 years we've realized that there's been a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes and more and more is unraveling in that organization, but it's going across all spiritual paths. So why is this happening? What is this supposed to. To do for us as, as souls, as seekers trying to find their way hopefully back to themselves, back to home.
- [49:29]
B
I, I was just as shocked as you would, Chakraba, because I, I knew him quite well and oh, really gave him readings and things like that sometimes. I found him quite a nice man, actually. But you know, when you read about what happened in the. And you start thinking, well, what do we know? And I've, I've, I've met other spiritual leaders just like you've spoken about. I'd love to see that series you're talking about.
- [49:50]
A
Oh, it's on. It's on. It's on hbo. It. A Breath of Fire.
- [49:54]
B
Okie do.
- [49:55]
A
Look, Kundalini Yoga. It's pretty.
- [49:58]
B
Yeah. Oh, there are some very dark gurus around and I'VE met a number of them in my time and I've met people who have really taken advantage of people and the Kundalini yoga stuff has often been absolutely I, I divine light mission I remember getting interested in at one point somewhere along the line I thought wow, God, this looks great. And then you sort of I think actually I'm not so sure. And with Rajneesh and Osho like you said so many and it was predicted actually not Nostradamus spoke about it, the revelation speaks about it. The Puranas talk about it which is the Indian text, predictive text saying that at the time of the coming of the awakening many negative leaders will false gurus would be out there. And I say to people you mustn't believe in in the the teachers. But if I say if you're listening to me don't take what I say for it. Say what you know you know, you got to stand on what your knowledge, what is your experience. People always want easy answers and I think that's where we go wrong and where these people start to take advantage. They want easy answer. All I've got to do is do this special technique and I'll be enlightened, you know or all I've got to do is follow you and I've got to worship you and give you all my money and then I'll be enlightened and everything. And you're looking look after me right? But I think some very high spiritual gurus can look after you but they don't. What they really want you to do is for you to develop your own self will. And I was brought up in spiritualism really that's where I learned my mediumship. And one of the seven principles of spiritualism in the UK is personal responsibility. And I think that is what you've got as put as one of your key spiritual values to take personal responsibilities. If thing has gone wrong in my life life first thing I can say well it's my karma, I've done it. I must have done something somewhere along the line to bring this on myself. Even if it wasn't I still accept it as my fate or I've got to do it. Nobody else can think it for me. Nobody. And nobody else can become enlightened for me, can they? Or they can be awake for me. Nobody. It's this is when we wake up but it's so easy. Everybody wants to follow and be followers. They're not prepared to, to stand up and be criticized or and so often we're worse than ever Nowadays, so you run off to follow some politician, or you run off into some job or identify being this or that, or you run off into some religious organization and hide there. You're hiding from yourself. You've got to be your own person in this life, otherwise these mavericks will always pop up. And I think perhaps as the lights coming into the world, maybe there's a flashing out of these things at the moment.
- [52:43]
A
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now back to the show.
- [52:53]
B
The answer is always the same. Take personal responsibility for your spiritual development. If somebody's in your way, if Jesus is in your path, push him out the way. If Buddha's in your path, push him out the way. Go to the boss, go to the light, go to what you know is the ultimate awakening. And if we follow other people, you'll always be a follower. I come into this life as a follower. I want to go out as, as a teacher. And I think each of us should think like that. You know, we've got to become, We've got to become it. It's no good thinking, oh, some. Somebody else is going to solve all my problems. We have got to become the awakened beings. And it's too easy to fall into those traps, as you said.
- [53:35]
A
Yeah, the, the thing is that's, I think the biggest failure or trap that we, that people fall into is that, that when there is a spiritual teacher who comes in, they point you. A good spiritual teacher points you or guides you in the direction that you should be looking at, should be investigating, should be guiding down the road that. Because they might just be down the road a bit farther than you. They might be down the road a lot farther than you, you know, but they're pointing towards the direction you should be going. The problem is people start worshiping the pointer. You know, it's like, and that's the thing. It's like going to a doctor. You don't worship a doctor because he told you, listen, stop smoking. What's wrong with you? You know, you know, stop doing drugs. What's wrong? That doesn't happen there. And, but it happens in the spiritual space so much more. And that's the biggest, I think, trap that we, we fall into. And when you give your power away to somebody else.
- [54:35]
B
Yeah. Like in Zen, they say you mustn't confuse the moon with the finger that points at the moon. You've got to look to the moon, not the, not the teacher, as it were. And that is absolutely, I think that is absolutely, absolutely critical. And probably the Biggest lesson we can learn is personal responsibility. I think it's one of the most important things. I think when you do take personal responsibility as well you develop a certain fearlessness too do because and I think you, in order to develop that fearlessness I think you've got to also accept that you've got to look death in the eye. I feel in many ways in your spiritual thinking because if you think I'm only going to be here a short time, I'm going to be dead and this body is going to be just full ash or rotting or whatever and that's when you start to think well then if that is the case, what is beyond. And that's when I began my quest to mediumship in my life. Improving life after death. But then if you know that life goes on you don't become so dependent on this world and you can actually become fearless because a lot of what happens, people run are hiding because it's under. Behind it all there's a fear of death, there's a fear of the uncertainty of death. But if we face the worst and we know death, many people who've had near death experiences I'm sure been on your show and things like that, they develop a certain fearlessness and I think even if we haven't had those sort of experiences ourselves, ourselves that's what I think we can. That non attachment, that transience is our way to, to overcome all the troubles and turmoils of the world. You know, it's about attachment in many ways. And yeah, don't go hiding in other people or run into other people or thinking that saints and, and the rest can do it. You've got to do it for yourself. You've got to be your own person. Don't trust anyone else. Trust yourself. Trust your own experience and think for yourself. That's important.
- [56:32]
A
Beautifully said, beautifully said. Now you, we, you kind of talked a little bit about what's going to happen in China and in Russia. What kind of global power shifts do you see over the next decade?
- [56:46]
B
Well strangely enough I think over the I'm. I kind of come back to India again because I feel that India is going to come in, it's going to rise and rise and rise and rise over the, over the coming century country and for a start they've got a huge young population that the rest of us haven't got. They've got an intelligent people who value education. There's a hell of a lot wrong with its infrastructure and it's, it's, it's government society. But it's got a democracy nonetheless, so it's got the potential there. And I feel India will become a country that will come to greater power and I think it will become a light for the world as well. Because I, I, I'm perhaps a bit over, over enthusiastic with India because I've been there so much and I've explored so much with the teachings of the Indian mysticism and Veda and the rest of it. But my feeling is that India will come to the rise and will kind of be a light for the world and be the next, the next big player in the world. I don't think it will be China. I think China's going to, gonna, gonna slip. I don't think it will be Europe and I don't think America will fall away and collapse. But America will soften in the years ahead and become less of the policeman of the world just as Britain and England was the policeman of the world in the past. You know, and I think we'll, I think our systems will change radically. You know, we, we live now, we're still living in what was the remnants of what was the Industrial revolution, where we have Saturdays and Sundays off. That was so the workers had two days. I mean a completely unrealistic way of living really in the way we live nowadays. We still use money as a form of exchange. Could we not find new ways of doing that? We seem to think that work is still a 9 to 5 job still for many people. You know, does that really necessarily need to be that? Do we still need to work for other people or could we not just all be self employed? Could there not be new ways of doing things? And I think we will develop new ways of thinking in the future too, which will give us a greater sense of freedom and perhaps that will be one of the great things that you know, for so many people they're trapped in jobs that they hate or they even if they're high up in a job or they are as the chief slave driver, you know, and I think that's a great deal of unhappiness in that because there's no human freedom in that. So I think the world, world as a better world will be one where we have less dependence on the normal strict routines of life that are determined by work. And we will start seeing work in a different way and I think we'll start seeing money in a different way. And really we also have to start looking at do we really need quite so much as well, do we really need both partners in a marriage working full on and the children being farmed out somewhere. Can we get back to those family values again, like I spoke about at the beginning happening? And do we really need to have quite so much? Can we not share a bit more? Because if the world shared, I'm sure there'd be plenty to go around and more. So we need to rethink and I think that might. Sometimes it takes a big shock to do something like that. The Second World War was a big shock that made people rethink. Out of it comes things like the League of Nations and the United nations and the idea of the importance of NATO and protecting things and the European Union, even whether it's good or bad, all those things were sort of coming out of a shock period. And maybe this coming period of difficulty and shock, maybe we'll rethink on a big scale. It needs some big thinking, not just tweaking around the edges.

I want to get your take on media. Hollywood is, is, is cracking and falling in many ways. It's definitely shifting from where the old system and now the world is starting to come up. There's different. Being someone who's lived in Hollywood for so long, they had this experience, they had this ego about them is like, well, it's Hollywood. Everything has to be made here. We are the gateway to all entertainment, which was the case for decades and decades and decades, but that's not the case anymore. And, and they have. And they're so slow to catch up that the rest of the world is like, England is obviously taking a huge jump in Australia, New Zealand, overseas, Abu Dhabi, you know, Dubai. There's so many different places. Where do you see the media landscape changing? Because it is such a huge part of our, our, our experience here on earth. Media in general, social media, you know, news organizations, movies, TV shows, all of that, just YouTube content creators like you and me, who are basically our own, our own media empires in our own small way. Where do you see this all changing over the next decade or two?
- [61:55]
B
I think the, the biggest shift, I mean, when you think about it, after the Second World War, just looking at history again, Hollywood is what made America great. Because we'll be right back after a

word from our sponsor. And now back to the show.

When everything else collapsed, everybody looked at Hollywood and saw all the glamour on the screen and wanted to buy American goods. And it was the driving force of a country and it can be. And it was the same here in the uk we had a strong, strong film industry that kept, kept your economies going. So it's a powerful Force to lose when you lose something like that. And I think Hollywood has become, from what I know again I see people from all over the world readings with me and some of the people I speak to from, from, from. From the film industry. They're in absolute despair at the moment. They don't know what's what. They are absolutely falling to bits. And of course what was once an easy place to go and find work, they don't know where to look now. And it's big, all sorts of. And of course what's going to change it all is AI. You know, we could, we could develop AI bots of ourselves nowadays that could. You could just type in stuff. So Hollywood as an industry I think will completely collapse over the coming period. I think it will spread up again. I think people will find new places, places to. To do it. It may be in Florida and maybe in Texas and places like that. New new centers may be spread out a little bit more around the world. Because we don't all have to be in the same place because we've got new forms of communication. The same things happen in the writing industry really. I mean you can get, you can get AI to write you a book in seconds nowadays and produce these, what they call slot books, but there is that. You wouldn't know the difference between that and a book that's been written by a real person person. And so we're gonna, we're gonna see a complete shift. I don't think we're going to have a big center of it. In fact, my fit. My feeling is that the Middle east again will be one of those areas that will pick up a lot of the practical parts because you've got big landscapes there, big areas where there's no restriction about how big a place you can build for sets and things like this. So the Dubai's of this world and the Middle East I think will after this crisis is finished will become one of those areas which will become a major media area. But Hollywood itself, you know, don't you think really that in many ways because of these huge arrogance that has been in that place. Isn't it about time it took a fall? You know, it's sad to lose it. I mean I. And what you see coming out. I'm a great film lover, but when I go out, my wife and I say to us there's nothing we can go and see. There's nothing that hasn't got some crazy political message behind it or a woke sort of message behind it that basically puts you off. So I Think Hollywood's had its day, frankly. I see it's had its day.

A
Or what is the universe? Or what does God want? Humanity. What is being asked of humanity to learn right now through all of this?
- [65:11]
B
You said what is God? I mean I, when you say God you have to say, well you know, it depends what you mean by that.
- [65:16]
A
You know, God, universe, the.
- [65:20]
B
And I. So I don't think there's a will behind the universe telling us what we've got to be or what we've got to do. Sure, it's a bit like evolution. I mean it's happening and we don't, we maybe there is no end to the universe so we don't know where it's all going to end up. I mean it's beyond our comprehension to know, know that there's an end or if there could even be such a thing as a beginning and an end. But I think from the humanities point of view at the moment, I do feel it's. We're trying, I think we, we've got to get back to basics again. In many respects it's a bit like the, the arrogant hero that falls victim to his own ego and crashes because you know, we, we start to think that we're the, the great person and, and nations have been doing this, industries have been doing this. Like we said with Holly, that. And really we got to get back to the simple things again. We've all got lost in social media and we all kind of watch YouTubes all the time. People crossing the road, looking at their phones, completely glued in their own little box. And artificial realities will make this even worse. When we start wearing the headsets and things like this really we want to get back to what makes us really happy. And it's. Sometimes it's the simpler things where we're with people, where we can be, where we're not constantly engaged in constant attention grabbing stuff. What we've lost is the power of our attention and that's what we've got to regain. And that requires quietude. Sometimes it requires sitting quietly, doing nothing and just allowing ourselves to watch the thoughts, for example, simple forms of meditation. Because if we don't have that, we're completely the victim of everything that comes into us. Our attention is drawn to the point that we're no longer happy because we're, we're always just being drawn from one thing to another. We're completely lost in the illusion. Illusion. And we've got to step back from that. And the only way we can step back from that is A complete rethink of the way we think. Instead of, we've got to focus on the inside because we get chasing everything on the outside all the time. And, and, but really, if we focus on the in instead of going out, we sometimes got to go in there. Not all the time and not to escape from things, but we do need to. We. We do need to be back in touch with the undiscovered self. If it were the part of ourselves that is. Is falling into unconsciousness, we need to wake up and we need to go in sometimes and be comfortable just sitting, just being ourselves and not constantly being entertained or playing with games or talk, chatting on bots and things like that. That's where I think we need to go, and I think that's where we might start to. We might start to learn more. What we probably need is the Internet to go down worldwide out of this. It would probably help us put us all out of this.
- [68:14]
A
Right. But, but 2020 had a little bit of that when everything stopped. You know, it was, it was the first kind of inclination of all of that. Has there been anything that you've seen in your, in your visions or in your ability to see what's going to come that surprised you? That you were like, geez, holy crap. Yeah.
- [68:37]
B
Because quite often the things that you see are the least expected things, really. And those are the things that are usually right. Because obviously if you're, if you, if you're trying to see the future, you've got to be very careful you don't get your own thoughts muddled up with it. The same with mediumship. You know, you've got to make sure that that is a clear channel and that is what you're getting and not letting your own thoughts get in the way. It's the same with any of these things. Yeah. And occasionally things do pop into one's head that are unexpected. And I said, no, I think for me, it's mainly personal things, things that happen and people that come into your life that you kind of sense in advance to say for the world at large. It's always an unexpected. Really, it's always the unexpected things like the Donald Trump business. I mean, I jumped on and said about that early on, but way back before even came he became president, I said, donald Trump's going to become the president. And the press jumped onto that. So that was probably the most unexpected thing. And one of the things actually, I think with him is another thing I said before was I said that Trump would become a very religious figure later on. And we're kind of almost seeing that happening with him in a way. I'm not saying whether it's good or bad, his religious figure, but I feel that when he has finished his presidency, he'll start taking almost a religious attitude to the world. And that is a bizarre thing to think about. And it's the weirdest stuff that is often the strangest. And it's when those things happen, thinking, I wish I didn't see these things sometimes.
- [70:14]
A
Well, that's another.
- [70:16]
B
That will happen. That was a weird one. I thought that.
- [70:20]
A
It's another thing. How do you handle this psychologically? I mean, because you're starting to, you're, you're seeing this stuff and you've seen it come true and you've been doing this long enough for this to happen. But on a psychological standpoint, when you see like, oh my God, that's going to happen, like it has to weigh on you, how do you deal with, with it?
- [70:38]
B
Well, I think with most psychic work it's important. It's a time when you're in the zone, as it were, and you're switched onto it. And the rest of the time when you switched it off and it's just me, nothing. No clairvoyance, no telepathy, no nothing. And sometimes when I see things coming up on the news and things like that, it's as if another person's made that. From my point of view, I'm always feel like I'm two people. There's the me that does the clairvoyance and does the readings and things like that. Then there's me, the ordinary me that doesn't get involved in those things and is switched off from that and is just living an ordinary life. And I think that's. You have to do it that way. But I think also anybody that. And a lot of people that have spiritually minded watch this show. I know. And I think anybody that's on the spiritual path of doing spiritual work really does also need to do the spiritual practice. And in particular, I mean, I've done yoga all my life, since I was 14 years old. And that's not just bendy, stretchy yoga. You've got to do the inner yoga. You've got to do the pranayama, particularly as a physical exercise, the kundalini, but not necessarily in the sort of the extreme versions that you were talking about. Yeah, yeah.
- [71:48]
A
But with, with. Can I just ask you, because I haven't asked anybody this yet. Kundalini is not a yoga. It's not one of the original yogas in the Vedic text, the term kundalini is a thing obviously. Kundalini energy, Kundalini rising, all of things, these, these things. But it was never a yoga as like a Kriya yoga or a Karma yoga or any of that kind of stuff.
- [72:11]
B
Right.
- [72:11]
A
Am I, am I wrong in that?
- [72:13]
B
Well, it would have been part of, I mean Patajani didn't even mention any, anything of the physical exercises within his teaching. The yoga is the union with the, with the Godhead, it's the joining. So all of these things come out of different sources, some of them from.
- [72:32]
A
We'll be right back after a word from our sponsor. And now back to the show.
- [72:44]
B
Different, different traditions and so forth. But the spine is the. We got a brain which is where our thinking is. But the spine is also part of an extension of the brain really. Of course the spine is also all the. Without using yogic terms, it's kind of the memory. Memories of past lives, kind of forgotten memories where the energy of that memory is still there. So when what's happening with the spinal work is that one is actually using a kind of. You can use spinal breathing for example to cleanse that. It's like putting the prana, the life force, the lifetimes through up and down the spine cleanses it and Kundalini waking. I, I don't always feel. It's not like a sudden pow like if someone's hit, hit the thing and the, in the, in the. With the hammer to make carnival. Yeah, it's not carnival, you know, it's a gradual opening and the awakening that comes with the opening of the chakras, for example is a gradual opening. It doesn't need to be some sudden out of control thing. Those sort of techniques which can be used as well, I've been down that path are bad. They will not be good for go the wrong direction if the person's not ready, ready. Gentleness let it happen automatically, naturally. And that those things can be very positive that way and can increase your life force, can increase your energy in life lifespan and increase your self healing. And particularly when the, the higher chakras, particularly the crown of the head opens, connects you with the, with the spirit world as well. But in each person's life you've got to let it happen in its own way. There's no good forcing it. But the spiritual work is ultimately not just about these physical things that we do within ourselves. It's about who we can become. You know, who am I? All we need to do is to simple Stuff sit in the silence. That's enough. And that will give us much more knowledge and understanding than all the techniques in the world.

A
And finally, for someone feeling fear about this conversation and aspects of it or of the future in general, what would you say to help them stay grounded and empowered?
- [75:30]
B
Well, everything comes and goes in life, isn't it? All the worst things always go in the end, don't they? I mean when they give readings to people. I will say, my teacher used to say to me, if you see clouds in a person's life, look a bit further because there's bound to be some sunshine further along the line. And I think that's, that's, I think the way to look at life really. Good things come, bad things come and don't grab hold of any of it, just go with it. Let yourself flow through the world if you can. And of course we're always going to have things that frighten us sometimes. But I think if we're, if, if we, if we look at the world, like I say from what the perspective is, I am just a spirit living in a human body. Body. I am just traveling across a bridge. And as Buddha said, bridges are. The bridge is over a sea of sorrows. But just pass over it, don't build on it. And I think that's the thing in life. Fear will come, worries will come, there'll always be troubles and you'll think how on earth I'm ever going to get out of this. But you do, you find a way in the end and just go with it. I think it's important to try to be in your life. Just be fearless. Don't let fear, fear hold you back. It's just a misuse of energy, you know, ultimately we'll all, we all end up in a spirit world, you know, and, and maybe come back here again sometimes too. But it's just an endless flow. And why should we fear when there's such glorious things around us and what glorious divine knowledge that we can all find in this life? And that's what we've got to say. It's not about collecting things. It's not about worrying about politics, worrying about what's going to happen. There's always going to be troubles in the world, but there's also always going to be this behind it all, this wonderful sense of peace that you can find when you, you realize that you are a divine spirit passing through this and nothing, nothing can touch you.
