Hello,

And welcome back once again.

I'm Douglas Grumman,

And I'm glad to join you today.

I want to go into depth,

An in-depth talk on the self,

Knowing yourself,

And how it correlates with a near-death experience.

In many scriptures,

It says to know yourself is the ultimate freedom.

But how do you know yourself?

How do you go into finding yourself?

You cannot do it from the outside.

Words cannot describe the self.

Only a path between words and no words.

The fine line that separates the mind from the heart.

So the only way to know yourself is to go within,

Because it can't be done without.

You can't reach outside of yourself to know yourself.

And others can't describe the self to you,

Because all they see is an interpretation of what you deliver to them.

What you put out there as a self is what they perceive.

And even that gets altered by their perceptions of their selves.

And I've also heard that in a way you can't know God until you know yourself.

And that has a lot of truth in it.

It has a deep,

Very deep understanding about who you are,

What you are,

Before you can know godliness.

And the best explanation I can give of understanding this is the analogy of waves in the ocean.

Of course,

I like to surf.

That's a given.

If you listen to half of my tracks,

I'm sure I talk about something about surfing.

But anyway,

So waves come in sets of three,

Four,

Five,

Even sometimes as little as just two in a set.

But usually there's sets of waves.

Sets of waves.

And you can theorize that we as humans are kind of like waves in a lot of sense.

A lot of different senses,

Basically.

And as we roll our lives along,

The wave almost feels separate from the ocean.

In the sense that this energy is making this circular energy,

And it's rolling and rolling and rolling.

And because that energy is in this rolling state,

It doesn't feel the essence of the whole ocean,

Of the depths of the ocean.

It just experiences what's on the surface.

And as we go through our lives,

We have a rolling energy within us.

And we,

Too,

Hardly ever feel a connection to this divineness until we go within.

Until we silence the mind and go into deep meditation.

And then as you go into deep meditation,

You sink deeper,

Deeper below the ocean surface and into an expansive existence that you have never experienced before.

So it's not until we go into our own depths,

The depths of our own souls,

Inside,

Deep inside,

In deep meditation,

That we start to experience that there's something more to ourselves.

Something we don't know.

Something we can't even comprehend because the mind is such a small mechanism.

Even though it's vast in the amount of knowledge and understanding it can absorb,

The mind can't absorb the whole because it's only a part of the whole.

And the part can't comprehend the whole.

And that's where the mystery of a Buddha comes in,

Or Jesus comes in,

That basically this wholeness,

In a way,

Can perceive itself.

And this is what Buddha termed as enlightenment.

Basically when the drop or that wave on the ocean surface,

When it dissolves into the ocean,

When the energy stops spinning,

It then comes to know that it's more than just a wave on the surface.

It becomes to know that it's this whole entity that's known as the ocean.

And basically,

God is an oceanic experience.

God is this never-ending ocean.

But to know this oceanic experience,

You have to still your mind.

Still the spinning that's going on in your mind,

In your consciousness that you know that you vibrate from.

And it is a vibration.

And the higher you vibrate,

The closer to this divineness,

To this ocean that you become.

It's a journey both down and up.

Down deep inside of you,

But as you go deep down inside of you,

You actually reach what you call your root.

And from your root,

Then energy starts to levitate.

There's a couple things that affect the law of levitation.

Love is one of them,

And deep meditation is the other.

And basically,

They're two sides of the same coin.

Both love and meditation counteract the effects of gravity.

And this is where it comes close to,

I'm going to try to take a whack at describing how near-death experiencers experience sometimes that when they have their experience and they leave their body for a short brief period of time,

Some of them experience darkness,

While others experience heaven or a form of godliness or a form of light.

And what affects that is basically the two laws that we have to govern our existence by,

The law of levitation or the law of gravity.

And what is the Earth's,

What is the Earth's,

What is the Earth's belongs to the Earth.

And what is in the heavens belongs to the heavens.

But all of this really is actually inside of you.

You are the meeting point between the heavens and earthly existence,

I could say.

I was going to say animalistic,

But basically earthly existence.

So,

To understand this,

We can kind of relate to the chakra system.

And being human makes us or gives us this great opportunity to experience divineness.

And really,

This divineness is already inside of you.

Your upper chakras,

Half of the heart and the top three chakras.

If we can split the top three chakras,

If we can split the whole thing in two,

The heart being the center chakra,

Three below it and three above it,

The three lower chakras basically control emotions,

Intellect,

And your physical attributes or how you,

How physically fit you are or how physically unfit you are.

We have to get past those three because they're governed by gravity.

Gravity keeps them going,

Going in the direction of the Earth or connected to the Earth.

And that is not a bad thing.

That's actually a beautiful thing,

Especially if you love the Earth.

Us serpers,

We absolutely love the Earth.

It's just,

It's this great thing that we look forward to and gives us our lives,

I don't want to say just purpose or meaning,

But it just gives us an abundance of joy.

So we always look forward to doing it more because the more you surf,

The more joy you get.

And of course,

The more you surf,

The better physically you are and emotionally you are and spiritually you are and intellectually you are.

So yeah,

So the people that love the Earth,

If they never raise their energy into the heart through this meditation and this love,

Both of those things can actually raise energy.

So if they have a near,

Let's say they have a near-death experience and they never surfed,

They never meditated,

They were not very loving,

Then they experience this darkness when they have their near-death experience.

But the darkness is not a bad thing.

It's just going back to the root.

It's just your energy travels.

It wants to go up,

But the heart is the,

It's not so much a blockage,

But there's a bridge in the heart that connects the heart from the higher to the lower,

From the spiritual to the physical.

It's all right there inside of you.

And I've also read and understood that God,

Basically His abode is in your heart.

And He's basically coming in from,

You know,

From above into your crown chakra and down through your third eye and down through your throat and then down into the heart.

Every night you go to sleep.

Every time you fall into a deep sleep,

Energy is being transported basically through the higher chakras.

And these higher chakras are also the three levels of heaven.

I've heard them say that there's seven levels of heaven,

And I don't know how much or how true that could be.

I mean,

It could be higher than what our human existences could experience.

But what I'm talking about is what you can experience yourself through deep meditation.

You can actually go into these three upper three chakras because they coincide with samadhi and the three levels of samadhi.

And it's a total freedom.

And each level will take you higher and higher into more divine or more of a divine experience,

A deeper divine experience.

And I know it sounds weird,

But basically the throat and third eye are both distractions from the crown.

They are there.

They're close to godliness.

So the throat chakra has a lot to do with spirits in heaven,

If you want to call it heaven,

Or a dimension where most spirits return to that live the loving life or live the meditative life.

They kind of wind up in this space.

And this space is all about helping the living.

This first level of heaven is those that cared enough about their kids and want to see their kids grow up and live good lives.

And you can play a part in that.

And your near-death experience would be,

If you were a loving or meditative person,

Would be that of helping others.

But if you raise your energy just a little higher up into the third eye,

Then your energy becomes almost pure energy.

It's a form of light,

You could say.

And it's closer to godliness.

It's even closer.

You're almost to the hub.

You're as close to the hub as anyone could get.

And they say that Jesus stopped at that level,

And he's at the right-hand side of God.

And that is as close to godliness as you can get and still keep your identity.

I hope this is all making sense.

So there's one more level,

And it's the hub,

The hub of the wheel.

And at the hub,

There's no movement.

It's completely still.

And that is the highest goal,

The highest form of heaven.

And if you can experience this,

This nirvanic state of samadhi,

Then you become enlightened,

Or enlightenment is very close by.

Enlightenment is you basically,

As a drop,

Dissolving into the ocean,

Dissolving into existence,

Dissolving into godliness,

Whatever you want to call it.

You don't have to believe in God for any of this to happen.

Belief is not a necessity.

But it's a positive outlook,

And that's not a bad thing.

A negative outlook could actually do the same thing too,

But it might be a different path.

And the path of negativity also takes your energy downward instead of upward.

So a positive path has more compassion in it,

You could say.

A person who is more caring is more positive.

A person who is more loving is more positive.

And it's a natural flow.

But I want to go back and just say that,

Like I said,

God is not a judge,

But there is a bridge in your heart.

And once you cross that bridge and you raise your energy all the way up to that hub,

Up to the seventh chakra,

The crown,

Once you get 51% of your energy up there,

Then they say the bridge breaks.

And that's where it gets a little technical,

And it's all up to beliefs.

But Buddha,

They say,

Basically dissolved back into the hub.

So Buddha's essence is everywhere and nowhere at the same time.

Jesus was very close to the hub,

But for Jesus to still exist,

Then he can't yet dissolve into the hub for whatever reasons,

Whatever promises he made to humanity or whatever his religion has flowered into.

So if we think about our near-death experiencers or those that are terminally ill,

Then I hope that my message here to you is that it's a message not just of hope,

But of trust.

And trust is higher than faith.

Trust is higher than hope.

People have been hoping for thousands of years and nothing has changed.

But the truth has been hidden from you,

And it shouldn't stay hid for very long.

The truth is that you're always connected to divine essence because you're like that wave on the ocean's surface.

And when a wave crashes ashore,

Physicists have proven this too,

That when a wave crashes on the shore,

Depending on how big the wave,

You can actually sit in the water and feel the energy go back under the other waves.

And what happens is that that energy goes into the last wave in the set.

So,

You know,

I thought about this a lot.

I really contemplated how it works with water,

And we are so much like water.

We're 98% salt water,

And our souls are made up of salt.

And let's say there's four waves in the set,

And the first wave crashes on the shore.

Well,

Some of the energy will go back into the other three waves,

But most of it goes back into the fourth,

The very last one in the set.

And if you think about humanity,

Basically there's about three or four generations that are alive in your existence,

Maybe up to your great-grandparents.

Hardly,

Hardly is there a great-great-grandparent still alive on this planet,

But it can happen.

And these generations of people make sets.

And if you're ever near a person who is passing away,

A person who is dying,

And you go into meditation,

You'll find that a lot of their energy enters back into you.

Because basically,

We are all these like star seeds or soul seeds,

And the energy of a dying person enters the living.

And that can,

I just theorized this,

But that basically can affect those having a near-death experience when their energy goes into a loving person or an enlightened person,

Let's first say,

The person who is a shining light.

And that might be the light that you see when you're having your near-death experience,

Or if you're terminally ill and you're going to pass soon,

Then the light that you see is basically could be the enlightened person,

This person that is so close to godliness.

And the goal,

Though,

Of course,

Would be,

As what Buddha said to his favorite disciple before he died,

He wasn't enlightened when he died.

When Buddha was dying,

Ananda was his name,

He asked Buddha,

What should I do?

You're going to be gone soon,

And I'm still not enlightened.

I don't know what to do.

And Buddha put his hand on his and said,

Be a light unto your own self.

And that's the goal.

That is the ultimate thing,

The ultimate experience of me describing all these chakras and how to transcend them and how to raise energy and raise your vibration up into the crown chakra.

And just don't stop,

Don't stop at the third eye,

Don't stop at the throat,

Even though there are beautiful distractions,

Keep going to the crown,

Keep focusing upwards,

Let your energy rise up into the heavens and into godliness.

And then you become a light unto your own self.

So what happens to the person who is enlightened that passes?

And that would really depend on any soul contracts,

Promises they made to others,

Because if they made promises to others while they're on this planet,

In this plane,

In this existence,

In this life,

Then they may have to fulfill them before they can totally dissolve back into the hub,

Back into godliness.

Anyway,

I really hope this talk explained,

And I don't expect anybody to believe me.

But the thing you can do is you can go into meditation yourselves and experience these truths for yourself.

So don't just take my word for it,

Because everything said becomes a lie.

You cannot,

You cannot tell truth.

Truth can only be experienced.

So with that in mind,

Thank you for listening,

And I hope you guys have a wonderful life.

And like I said,

If you're terminally ill,

Or if you just had a near-death experience,

I hope this explains why you either saw darkness and nothing at all,

Or you experienced heavenly bliss and saw all your loved ones.

Because those loved ones are in heaven helping you as much as they can,

In all kinds of different ways.

Anyway,

I want to say namaste to all you beautiful people,

Blue skies to all you skydivers,

And surf's up for all you surfers.

Aloha,

Namaste,

Adios,

Goodbye.
