If you’ve ever struggled with fear, doubt or worry and wondering what your true purpose was all about, then this podcast is for you. In this show, your host, sylvia Worsham, will interview elite experts and ordinary people that have created extraordinary lives. So here’s your host, sylvia Worsham.
Speaker 2:
Hey, lightbringers, it’s Sylvia Worsham. Welcome to Release Reveal Purpose. And today is Peter Gunn, and his story is amazing For those that don’t know what an MDE is. It’s a near-death experience and he has a story to tell and it probably led him to where he’s landed today, because it almost always does kind of work out that way. We know our journeys are not linear. They take different paths to get where we’re at today and what our purpose is in this world. So, without further ado, peter, thank you so much for joining us on ReleaseRevealPurpose.
Speaker 3:
Thank you for having me, Sylvia. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Speaker 2:
It’s awesome to have you and when I read your biography I was blown away because, like you, I have a daughter and like you, she loves comic books, but there’s never really a feminine character that’s depicted well. And you’re right, we kind of come across as demons and witches and all these things that clearly the feminine is not. And when we have little girls and we want to empower them as authors, we want to give them a space where they shine and they get empowered. So I know that’s also part of your story, but I am curious about your near-death experience. So do tell us that amazing story of transformation you have to share with us.
Speaker 3:
Well, first off, as a caveat, I will say that my parents were good parents. Okay, this happened back in the early 80s. Okay, when it was normal for parents to leave their children unattended. Okay, so I mean the concept of a latchkey kid. It was perfectly normal to come home and not have parents there, kids to make a meal for themselves and wait for the parents to come home. So my parents were good parents.
Speaker 3:
It was during a heat wave back in the Midwest. I grew up in Wisconsin and I remember it being an especially hot day. I was about six or seven years old and I’ve been given some chores to do out in the yard, okay. And, of course, when you’re that young, you don’t realize the symptoms of heat stroke that are coming on. Okay, I was never taught anything about it at the time. I remember feeling very tired, so you know what’s your first instinct to do when you, when you’re tired, it’s to lay down. So, unfortunately, though, laid down in direct sunlight, in the sun, which just did you to push my body in the shot and then make the situation worse. I remember waking up and looking down and seeing myself as if I was floating, okay, and I could see through myself. It was mostly like the reverse of a black and white picture. Okay, my body was mostly white light and I remember being taken up to a dark tunnel with a white light, white circle at the end of it, and once I got there, I was given what a lot of people say is like a past life regression. Okay, or, you know, they’re shown visions of what happened in their life, but I was so young it went quite fast. So I will say this I realized that time was happening, but it seemed like it didn’t. On the other side, like it was almost instantaneous, you know, like it it’s, and I can’t help but think that. A lot of people saying that that time is it landing on the other side. I can’t help but believe them. You know, I can’t help but believe them because it seemed to look at the day after I was shown a few things that I had, let me say, done questionably in my short life.
Speaker 3:
I was brought to a gate. Okay, there are two, are two angels there? What was welcoming me? That was the one that showed me, you know, what happened in my life. But the other one there was one there that was quite upset about me being there, and you ever get the feeling of deja vu, like you can’t place a person’s name, but you know, you’ve seen them before. That’s the feeling I had when I looked at this other angel, like I knew him, and then he immediately said your job isn’t done, you have to go back. And then I woke up back in my body paramedics over me, you know, trying to render me aid. There were ice packs and everything all over me.
Speaker 3:
So it was a very odd experience, especially at a young age, because you don’t know what’s going on. Okay, I didn’t really say anything to my parents, you know, I didn’t think they’d believe me, you know, and I thought to me okay, maybe it’s a dream, it’s a dream, you know, didn’t think they’d believe me, you know. I thought to me okay, maybe it’s a dream, it’s a dream, you know, it’s nothing really happened. Couple of weeks later there was second phenomena starting to happen to me. I was seeing things happen before they actually happened.
Speaker 3:
Back in those days you would usually call, make plans if you had company coming over and stuff like that. It was, it was normal, you know, and I remember vividly seeing an old family friend that lived about two or three hour drive away, coming to the front door and I told my mother this and she’s like no, she’s not coming, she hasn’t called. You know, we didn’t make plans, so she thought nothing of it. And then, sure enough, a couple hours later, she showed up on a note. My mother looks down at me like you know, how did you know? Did you talk to peter? And she said no, she confirmed that she hadn’t talked to me. So, um, that was the first, the first experience I had with that.
Speaker 3:
And then there’s another one in the winter, when it got cold, I saw my mother slip and break her ankle on the ice. I told her about it, brushed it off, thought nothing of it, and then it happened. And that’s when I could see that I was starting to scare her. You know she was a deeply religious person, but there’s always I call it a box, that religious box that if it’s out of your beliefs, in that religious box it starts people will call you a blasphemer or start directing negative energy towards you and calling you names. So I didn’t want that to happen and I saw my mother getting scared about what was happening. So I backed off. I didn’t say anything about any visions I had from then on, um, I just kept it to myself.
Speaker 3:
There was also, um, a couple instances where I would see white lights come towards me and then, as they came closer, um, they would uh turn into what I believe to be former dead people, spirits, okay. And then there was also the black mist that I would see, but it was always at a distance, okay, so maybe about 50 yards away. They never came close, but they were always there, lurking in the distance as if watching. Okay, I want to say, when puberty started to hit me, it died off in the most part, okay, and in a way I was grateful because, yes, I could start to live a more normal or human life. But to this day, I’m still very much at empath, where I’m sort of like the hound dog, you could say, sniffing out negative energy, because I’ll know, a couple miles on the road if I’m coming near something, you know, I’ll just feel it.
Speaker 3:
There was a uh a time when I was going, uh, taking a tour of italy, when I was in the us air force stationed out in italy, and they had taken us to a, uh, an old castle, you know, because I love castles, I think they’re absolutely beautiful, but this one in particular. You know, before we even got there, i’m’m like whoa, what is this? I’m feeling all this negative energy build up and we got closer and closer and then visions of torture and murder started coming into my head and I was like, wow, this is a bad place. I could not. Everybody in the tour bus looked at me like I was crazy, but I refused to go in. I couldn’t go in, yeah, because of all the negative energy. There were still negative entities that were in that.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, wow, I can see why. I want to touch on a couple of things, because I think you’re right. When religion and faith collide, they and I call it faith versus religion. You know your mother not sharing those visions with your mom. I can understand why Because when they come from, the rules of religion are very strict and if it goes outside of those rules, then it’s not of this world and they’re creating it. It’s in your mind somewhere and it’s like of this world and they’re creating it.
Speaker 3:
it’s in your mind somewhere and it’s like they can’t others yeah yeah, and they can’t grasp that.
Speaker 2:
There’s something beyond, and you had the blessing, because it was truly a blessing to have your mde, because it allowed you to understand your gifts early on. Most people don’t see their spiritual gifts until they’re in their 40s or 50s. You were a child when you started to experience yours. Now it could be very scary because you don’t understand what those things are. But the gift of prophecy is a very big gift and to be able to see what is going to happen before it actually happens is pretty phenomenal. And not very many people have that gift. It’s actually a smaller percentage of people in the world that have that. So I do think that there is a huge difference between faith and religion. Do you see a difference between them or do you experience it differently?
Speaker 3:
I see religion as a stepping stone for people that are just getting into spirituality. So they have to sort of dip their toes into it, see if it’s for them. But I really hope that they see that it’s restricted, so it is a box, because it’s a box that it’s trying to keep you in. Now, if you’re homeless on the street and you need help and you’re completely just a mess, then that’s fine. Religious people are great. They’ll help you. But when you question their beliefs, that’s when they can actually turn violent.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, yes, and I think you’re right. There is a stepping stone, because what happens is you become very in tune. You’re a highly sensitive person. You call yourself an empath, but when you can sense energies from miles away, that gives you a different. I call it a highly sensitive person and that’s a blessing as well. At times we can sense negativity from a mile away. We can see it in people. We can see their energy shift. I have that capability and at times it was very hard to understand it as a child. As I got older, the more I tuned into it, the clearer it got. For me, it’s not being afraid of those gifts. I think that really gives us an edge and you stepping in more confidently and viewing those visions and not being scared by them was actually a good thing for you, because it helps you tune into your intuition which is truly the guiding force in our life 100% natural.
Speaker 3:
It wasn’t like someone objecting to you and then you start hallucinating. Or you’re taking mushrooms and then you start seeing things. It’s happened completely naturally. I wasn’t on a diet or anything.
Speaker 2:
What’s so neat is because it is who you are. When you’re tapping into your true self, to the person you were created to be, it flows. There’s nothing resisting. There’s not big resistance. The resistance occurs when our mind gets involved, when our minds and our doubts and our programming and everything that comes into play. That’s what blocks that energy from flowing easily. It’s been my experience anyways, humbly my experience, and I’ve seen a lot of clients when I’ve coached them that that is the biggest threat to them is their own mind. But when you tune into your soul, it’s something we have to consider.
Speaker 3:
You know the ego. I would say it’s sent for edge of god out because it wants to, it does it does, because it’s where doubt exists, and doubt and god don’t go hand in hand.
Speaker 2:
That is, of the opposite side, the blackness that you would experience as a boy. That’s what that is too, because what most people don’t understand, the spiritual realm is that there is evil as there is good, and evil is always lurking, it’s always waiting for the opportunity, and when you feed a doubt, it just it comes right in, because that’s exactly where it steps in through your anger, your doubt. Uh, the other side, the flip side, the angel side, is where your goodness comes in, right. Your, your, your intuitiveness, your, your peace, your joy, your kindness all of that is in that realm and we both have each side and you’re right ego. To me, it’s not truly the enemy when you empower your ego.
Speaker 2:
Your ego is your self-image, and if your self-image is comprised of belief systems that are dragging you down, then you’re right. Yeah, it will drag you down and it’ll keep you in a doubtful state, but when you recognize what those belief systems are and you and you hold them against the evidence of your life, and if your life doesn’t, and if your life is very different than what your belief systems are meaning, if you believe yourself to be a loser or not enough, and yet you look at your life and the evidence is completely the opposite. Then it’s a lie that created when you were a little kid and it’s time to let it go. It’s time to say goodbye Okay, you’ve served your purpose. I little kid, and it’s time to let it go. It’s time to say goodbye Okay, you’ve served your purpose. I love you, but it’s time to go. And you can shift it very easily, but most people think they can’t.
Speaker 3:
I want to say is and because you touched on love is the feeling of love on the other side is all-encompassing, it’s like it’s hard to describe. It fills you completely and it lets you know that everything is all right. It also let me know that I understood that we can live more than one lifetime, so it’s normal to live other lives. We don’t have just one.
Speaker 2:
Not everyone is here on their first time maybe that thing about other angel you recognize was from a different life or maybe it wasn’t from this life because, yeah, there is a deja vu, like when you see certain people and I’ve seen them and I thought I’ve dreamt about them before and I didn’t realize I had to get the prophecy until I had an experience and it was pretty much out of body experience and I I didn’t even know what happened until later. And when I explained it to the people that were commissioning me in the church they were like no, that’s the gift of prophecy and that’s the more you tune in to the humility of Christ, the more you’ll feel the gift of prophecy show. And and so I’ve been working on humility these last couple of weeks because I figured well, he gave me this gift and I haven’t really used it to the best of my ability because there’s probably some blockages there that are preventing that from happening. You had a near-death experience that exposed you to that world early on, what a lot of people don’t see. And I do agree with the love all being like, all everywhere, because I did experience that in the intensive care unit when I was dying, I had a moment with God that was undeniable and it was actually on Easter weekend of all weekends. I thought it was so interesting the timing and it was Easter Sunday morning and when they came in to pray for a miracle, I felt a love that I’ve never felt here on earth and it’s it’s really hard to describe. I tried to describe it in my book. In faith I thrive and I didn’t even come close. I don’t think the thing. It’s just a love like you’ve never felt here on earth and you feel so protected and so known tear on earth and you feel so protected and so known like they can see you and understand you completely and I’ve never had that before from another human being. So I knew it was god.
Speaker 2:
And when the lady from the catholic diocese left the room, the my boyfriend, who ended up becoming my husband later turned to me and said you felt them, them too, didn’t you? Because he announced his presence to both of us in the room. He had prayed for a miracle. I had prayed for a miracle and he said you’ve been saved. And I remember just knowing that I didn’t have any threat in my body anymore and I didn’t need confirmation from doctors although they needed confirmation themselves because they’re medical doctors and they just have to make sure right. So they really went and they did the procedure. But I was already at peace and people were really shocked because the nurse in the icu, you know, was deathly afraid of needles and that procedure required a needle that was like real big. They entered me to like look, with a camera and she said you didn’t flinch, your face was radiant Like I’d never seen it be so full of light and I just knew Christ was with me as the procedure was happening.
Speaker 2:
And not 10 minutes later the doctor comes back and I’ve never seen a doctor that happy in my whole life Say I cannot believe that there’s no evidence of sickness anywhere in your body. And they were not expecting that. And they were expecting humongous holes in my lungs because I had very large pulmonary embolisms. I had an enormous threat in my vena cava. It was a big blood clot that was just blocking all the blood coming out of my main organs. I was ready to go into liver failure. It was a bad situation. They were like I can’t believe this. No evidence of disease whatsoever. But the love that you described going back to your original story was yes, it’s a love like you described. Going back to your original story was yes, it’s a love like you never feel. And can I ask a question, because everybody always talks about this too the colors. Did you see any colors while you?
Speaker 3:
were. Oh, yes, yes, but it was mostly lights, white light, so that, yes, there were colors, that the angels I saw were mainly hues of white, but there was some darker blues in there, but that, you know, it was almost to the point of where you had trouble looking at it.
Speaker 2:
It was that bright yeah, they say the brightness, all the. There’s a very good book out there for near-death experiences. The author is john burke. He was the founding pastor of our church here in Austin and he’s a New York Times bestselling author on these experiences because he started to follow them 25 years ago and it’s like a huge study they did on these experiences and the similarities from people. What you described right now is in that book. It’s the tunnel, it’s the bright light that in the review of life a lot of these people also described having a committee of people that received them in heaven, that had passed before them. But it sounds like you were somewhere between heaven and here, if it looked like the angels were with you.
Speaker 3:
There was a gate there, so I wasn’t quite allowed in yet no, because you weren’t supposed to die just yet.
Speaker 2:
There’s a purpose, there’s a reason why you came back. What do you think that purpose was?
Speaker 3:
to save souls at least one. Okay, I think that’s the ultimate showing of a human being, and compassion is to be able to save at least one soul and change someone’s life for the better. It’s one of those things where you can’t put a price on the human soul. It’s invaluable so to do that. And then if you could do it even more than once two, three, four you know a whole group before you leave this earth I mean that’s all the better. It’s to say so, change minds and hearts and have you in your you.
Speaker 2:
In your mind, like with your books. How have your books transformed people.
Speaker 3:
I will say this I’m going to keep pressing and I’ll wait to find out when I meet that angel again, and then he’ll tell me If I’m still allowed in.
Speaker 2:
I think you will be, peter. I don’t think you won’t be. It takes a lot for people not to be allowed in, because he’s a very forgiving God he really is. If you look at his word and you actually allow it to seep into your bones and into your mind, you see a character that religions don’t talk about Because they get stuck in their boxes.
Speaker 2:
And I came from the catholic world. My parents both were mexican and catholic, and but they never had that relationship with themselves or with god where they turned to him a lot. I’m a different animal altogether. I had that close to death experience because it was not a near death experience as it’s clinically known, but close enough. And since then I’ve been very close to him, always turning to him, always talking to him and saying, hey, what do you think about this?
Speaker 2:
And some people think I sound crazy at times in my car because my kids will be. Are you talking to yourself? Are you talking to god again? And it’s like, well, I’m talking to god again, I I need to ask his opinion on something, and but it’s very natural for me to do it in front of my children so they can see that there is a, a friendship and a and a relationship with him, and it has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with faith and relationship with him, and I just found it so interesting. Your purpose likely reveals itself. How did you become an author? Was it when your daughter was born and you love comic books, or how did that come about?
Speaker 3:
I’ve always loved comic books, you know, um, the hero’s journey in and of itself appeals to me. Um, it’s also why I went into bodybuilding when I was 16, started, uh, walking to the gym because I wanted to look like a comic book hero, you know, um, be someone that was worthy of the task at the beginning, you know. But, yeah, it always appealed to me because there is something familiar about him, something that needs to play out. You know, there’s always an ending and the choices you make, you know, depend on that ending. So, making the correct choices in the hero’s journey is critical to the positive outcome.
Speaker 3:
Yeah, yeah, I think it’s really when I had my daughter in 2010 that that, you know, I started writing and it’s it bothered me not having a positive female character in the classics. You know, uh, you walk into any bookstore, any library. You’ll see Bale Wolf, you’ll see the Iliad and the Odyssey, you’ll see Dr Zafferno, and they’re great books, but where’s the positive female heroines in them? You know, someone that a young girl could look up to? There’s love poetry about women, there’s women poets, but there’s nothing really in the hero’s journey the epic poetry realm for women that illustrates, that shows their worthiness to stand alongside with them and make her aware that not only is she worthy of the hero’s journey, but then to show her the power or should we say a synergy that comes when you go hand in hand with the masculine.
Speaker 2:
Yes, because it is a collaboration, it’s not a competition, and I do agree with you there, because and I do not always agree with you there, let me make that disclaimer It- takes maturity.
Speaker 3:
usually you have to grow a little bit older to see it.
Speaker 2:
You do, you do, and I think it’s also the subliminal messages we receive as young girls From the moment we’re born. We are separate from the males in that they’re the ones we compete with. They’re the ones that don’t like us, they’re the ones that are mean and cruel to us, and it’s that message that you get. You get it everywhere. I got it in corporate America. I was surrounded by men in my old job and I competed against them constantly and they made it to where a woman really couldn’t be an equal to them and they make sure they let us know that if we became mothers, that that was a big no-no to becoming a manager in in the corporation doesn’t make that idea and that, um, that theme is recurring everywhere you go, and it wasn’t until I read a book by allison armstrong. It was called the queen’s code.
Speaker 2:
They really discuss the biological differences between men and women and why we are created to be collaborators and not competitors, and she talks a lot about using a story, which I think is the most beautiful way of conveying these messages is through a story, and saying basically is through a story and saying basically you’re competing and you’re not meant to compete, you’re meant to collaborate, and here’s why it’s important to collaborate and here’s what you gain from that collaboration. It’s a true partnership between men and women. But we don’t see it like that. We see it as we’re constantly competing and we also see it as we want men to be and women. But we don’t see it like that. We see it as we’re constantly competing and we also see it as we want men to be like women. And they’re not. They’re single focus. You know, like I always give the example. It’s classic you get hungry. As a man, you have single focus, which is great. You go to the refrigerator, you get the food, you eat it. You’re done, you go back to what you were doing. As women, we have like a thousand tabs open up in our brain and we walk to the refrigerator and it’s messy and we start cleaning the refrigerator and we forget that we were so hungry and we just, you know, walk away. And that’s the difference between men and women. And we sometimes get mad at the men because they have that single focus. It looks like they’re not paying attention, but the truth is they were designed that way and there’s nothing wrong with that. That’s why they were the hunters and they were the gatherers and the nurturers years and years and many years ago.
Speaker 2:
But so I explained that to my daughter now. She was at a baseball camp last week and she said but mom, why can’t girls play baseball? And I said, honey, baseball can be very fast and the boys, as they get older, they start getting physically stronger than the girls and they can actually hurt you if the ball hits you in the face or if it hits you. You can’t play with boys anymore after a certain age, like when you’re younger it’s okay, but when you start getting older they get that. But why can’t girls be as strong as Madison? Because you’re not coordinated that way, honey, I mean.
Speaker 2:
But she’s like this powerful kid. You know this powerful woman, which I love her. She’s a warrior, a light warrior, like her mother. But I don’t want her to fall into the same ego traps I fell into with men growing up. I want her to see them as collaborators and not competitors. So I’m hopeful that maybe in a book that you write, that we can showcase that, how men and women can actually play nicely together and when we use each other’s gifts to the best of our abilities, we are actually unstoppable. That’s probably why the enemy doesn’t want marriages to flourish, they don’t want unions to flourish and they want to divide and conquer. That. They often go through the men first, you know, to try to attack the marriage. And so I always tell my husband careful, guard your heart, guard your anger, because that’s the way the the enemy comes in, because if we were to actually work together, we we can conquer anything together.
Speaker 3:
And so I mean think about the concept of uh, the rib in the bible. What you know, god could have used any bone in the body to make Eve. He decided to use the rib. What does the rib do? It supports the man. He cannot stand up without it. It’s his support and that’s the message yeah, we’re the helpers.
Speaker 2:
And where is the rib cage? Think of where intuition lies. Where you think intuition lies is near the heart, and when the ribs they protect the man, right, we stand guard and we’re like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, enemy, you can’t step in here. That’s why it falls on the women to be the helpers, to be the peacemakers. When you look at Peter and I actually started to meditate on some of these verses recently be the peacemaker, be the peacemaker. And it’s just. It’s over and over and over again. What does it mean to be the peacemaker?
Speaker 2:
Well, there’s a time and a place to discuss these things. When we go toe-to-toe with our men, in front of our children, what are we teaching them? That we’re combative, that we fight, that we’re not collaborators. We’re connected and I made that mistake. I mean, I truly made that mistake until very recently.
Speaker 2:
And then God started to show me visions. Just like you see visions, I see visions too. And he’s like I want to show you what’s been going on all these years and Satan’s been in your house and you’ve allowed it, and you allowed it through your anger and you allowed it through your resentment, and I need you to clear all that right now. You need to be the one to go first, and at first I was resistant and I said the more I resist God, the worse it gets.
Speaker 2:
And so then I started listening and I told myself right now is not the time to discuss this. There will be a time and when that time comes, God will let you know and you can just talk to him calmly, because he knows his heart and he knows your needs and his timing is perfect. So you got to wait for it. Unfortunately, like you mentioned earlier in your story, time is very different over there than it is here, and I’m glad you mentioned that. You mention that, because we want it now. But in other words, we’re like no, no, I want it today, god, like I’m praying for you today and I want it to happen today. It’s not how that works. It doesn’t work that way. He has to make every piece fall into place and for that people actually have to listen to his promptings.
Speaker 3:
For that to work, I think people fall in the trap of seeing someone that scams the system. So they lie, they cheat, they steal and let’s say, hypothetically, they live to be 80, maybe 90. They think, well, why shouldn’t I have been evil? Why shouldn’t I have lied, seen and shielded? Because he died rich and he has all this stuff? But they look at it at such a small scale that 89 years is small compared to your eternity. Okay, and people need to start seeing it that way. I mean, this is a game. I often compare it to a giant game Monopoly. You either learn how to play Monopoly or, yeah, you’re not going to win.
Speaker 2:
You’re going to keep mucking things, things up. I always tell the women that I coach, don’t be a leo or rachel. And they’re like, what are you talking about? And I said think about it, leah and rachel, in the old testament they made a muck of things. They didn’t wait for god and his timing and they stepped in there and they had their, their maids, sleep with their husbands to give them a son, because they were competing with each other to to make sure that they were in favor with with the husband, right. And then what happens is that you create this whole scenario that God didn’t intend for, and now he’s got to use your choices and redirect those choices and reconfigure them to his will. That takes a little bit of time to do. And so then they say oh, I see how that works. You got to wait for him. You got to wait for him to show you where to go, and that requires some patience on your part.
Speaker 3:
The people that don’t want to wait are the people that Satan goes to to wait, are the people that sit and go to, because they’re the ones that will sell their soul. They’re the ones that will do anything for fame. He loves those type of people, but that’s undeserved fame yeah, the significance comes from him.
Speaker 2:
I think that’s also a big, big of conversation. Most people seek the significance and the achievements they have and they’re constantly seeking that validation outside of themselves, when in reality, he’s the one that fills you, he’s the, he’s the source of it all. When you turn to him and he provides you with that source, and then he’s the cake. And the icing on the cake is really like the additional connections you make here on earth, like your spouses and your children. They’re what makes that cake complete. But the completeness, the fullness, comes from him and we don’t realize that until later. You realized it early on, which is my gosh. I’m just. I’m happy for you, because that leads to a much happier life for you growing up.
Speaker 3:
A lot of people told me when I was 16 that it acted like I was 40. So you know, I guess I just age faster. Perhaps as well, yeah.
Speaker 2:
When you see it early on. That is a blessing and I want you would want your children to see it earlier than you did, like I don’t want my kids to live through the trials and tribulations I lived through because of my own ego and pride. That came into play lots and lots of times right, and I think that’s a big tip to kind of offer the listeners a release doubt, reveal purpose. Because when you release that doubt, that purpose that you were born with will reveal itself. And when it reveals, it’s like what a gift for you, what a gift from the beginning to reveal your purpose and to actually step in there and keep doing it on purpose right To change lives. Well it also takes.
Speaker 3:
You know you have to have courage. It takes a lot of courage because the path of faith is a rickety old bridge. You can’t see it on the other side. It’s usually over a deep chasm and you’re you’re stepping out onto it. You know, as an act of faith, it will scare the crap out of you when you decide to take this back. I mean, it’s about every day, but it’s one of those things that you have to get used to doing and you have to be willing to do it.
Speaker 2:
Yeah. So how do you do it, peter, since you’ve done it a lot in your life? How do you have that courage? Any tips you can share with us?
Speaker 3:
I always look back at.
Speaker 3:
Have you ever read Dr Hawkins’ Power vs Force, his book? No, I’ll look into it now. He’s one of the first people that put a number and mapped consciousness to each level of enlightenment from like one all the way up to a hundred. I believe it was so. Jesus would hypothetically be all the way up to 100, I believe it was so. Jesus would hypothetically be all the way at the top at 100.
Speaker 3:
And I always look back at that and I have that in my head and I ask myself okay, where am I at? And if I’m not sure I look back 3 months, what was I doing 3 months ago? What was I doing a year ago? Where was I at? And if I actually look back three months, what was I doing three months ago? What was I doing a year ago? Where was I at? And if I actually look back at that person with some sustain, like I can’t believe I did that or I was like that, then you know you’re on the right path. And then you know you’re elevated. Okay.
Speaker 3:
And then realize, though, as well, if you’re going to be at the upper levels and you attempt to stay there consistently there as well, if you’re going to be at the upper levels and you’re trying to stay there consistently.
Speaker 3:
There’s going to be a lot of problems with people that aren’t there, so people you run into, okay. So give you an example um, a person that was at the higher levels if someone wronged them, they’ll more apt to turn the other cheek and walk away and think nothing of it. Person that’s down the lower levels automatically wants to fight, get revenge on that person, and that person down here is going to think you’re weak for doing what you did. You’re going to speak two different languages and when you’re so separated like that, it makes it difficult. If you have to work with these people down here if, heaven forbid, you’re married to people down here or have them in their family just realize that they speak a different language than you and you know. Just react to them accordingly. Okay, because it makes life more difficult the higher you get on that level. Yeah.
Speaker 2:
That’s awesome. Any last-minute words before we sign off, Peter?
Speaker 3:
I would say to everybody follow your heart. It’s key. If you ever had a moment in time where you actually lost time so four hours passed and you didn’t even realize it that’s a sign the universe is telling you that’s something you’re passionate about, you should be doing in life. So then, when you incorporate your brain to figure out how to make money at doing it.
Speaker 2:
That’s awesome. And if I wanted to buy a copy of your book, where can I find a copy? Where can I find you? I wanted you to come and speak.
