If You Think Prophets Are FAKE, You NEED To See This | Arab

Hey guys, if you're not following me on Spotify please hit that follow button and leave a five-star review. They're both a huge, huge help, thank you. What does Islam mean? Like the actual word? Yeah, I don't remember. Is it peace? Islam means submission. Teslim Haylak means to submit yourself. So by definition of the actual word, if you were to ask me if I'm a Muslim, I could tell you yes because my perception of what you're asking is yes. I submit to God. But I was raised Christian, I'm wearing Jesus on my shirt. Yeah, right? This is for me the greatest teacher that's taught me. But I could tell you I'm a Muslim. But then if you tell me to say the whole conversion line, which is like like that part, the first part says there's nobody but God. The second part says that Muhammad is the last prophet. I can agree with the first part. I can't agree with the last part because I believe prophets and messengers are among us right now all the time. So he can't be the last? He can't be the last. Yeah. Exactly. Because by putting him as the last, you've automatically cemented yourself in 600 time periods. Yes. But you lived in 1600 years ago. So you think prophets are all among us right now? How do you define a prophet? I know that prophets and messengers will come across your journey once you choose to start believing that they will. And it will come from the random people that you see in the streets. These are angels. Each human is an angel of God. It's a son of God. You're a son of God. You're a son of God. I'm a son of God. Like we're children of the Lord, right? So each person will come and tell you along your path once you start living in the moment. Things they'll guide you. You'll get guidance from different aspects of life, from all aspects of life. God is in all things. So in terms of messengers and such, that's how they'll come. And it says in the scriptures that you have to talk to other people to receive the answers. It says that. That's why confession. Catholic confession is to another priest. Hmm. You have to humble yourself in front of the Lord who is in all things. So when you're, when you can go and communicate with these people, they'll teach you. It could be the homeless person that teaches you. It could be the billionaire that teaches you. You know, that question that you have in your mind that you're asking God for assistance with. He's actually giving you the answer. You're just not seeing it. You know, and he'll give it to you over and over until you see it. And whatever you ask, anything you ask will be answered, anything. When did you start thinking about God? How young were you when you start about it? Yeah. And then to what point did you actually start to believe in that? I was an altar boy growing up. You know, those guys that helped the priest. And then I went through this like fame, twitch period, professional gaming, and whatnot where I was so focused on work. Didn't really pray at all. I just stream. We're doing good, whatever. And then once I started traveling 25, 24 is when I kind of came back. 25, 26 I think. That was like a, the cartel is when I really started coming back to God. I went and hung out with the cartel for five days and I just, that was the most fear I've ever felt. When was that again? 24? 23. 23. Yeah. Okay. So this is pre-hadi. Yeah, pre-hadi. Right before Haiti. Exactly. Why all things stack up and you just got to trust the path. Because if it wasn't for the cartel three months before Haiti, I wouldn't have had some of the lessons that I needed to survive Haiti. Yeah. So it was because November to March that area I started reading scripture again, seeking, you know, answers, having God guide me on these trips and actually having like an anchor. And it was because of that I survived Haiti. So I really like your line of questioning, by the way. Thank you. The way you take this all is quite nice. Dude, you, I mean, it's, you're making it easy just because there's so much like, you know, for people out there listening, I'm sure there's like a million directions that I haven't gone today. Because you introduced like 12 different things, but we'll do future podcasts where we can do that because I do have all those questions. I just want to let you cook. You're welcome to ask me whatever any, you know, also critical questions you have or anything. Please feel free to ask. I'm totally open. I appreciate that. So you, it seems to me, and I think this is a great thing, that the way that you hypothesize your surroundings and, you know, not to overstate it, but like your meaning of life and, and get that is based on just being in the moment learning from experiences. Right. So putting yourself in two things that you haven't done before, which is always a form of change. Right. With people that are completely different from you. Good, bad in between, not you to judge, whatever it might be. And then based on how you then respond to that yourself, you start to think about, oh, you get like new. Clues on how things might work or what people might be like. You see what I'm saying? Is that fair to say? Yeah. Yeah. Always learning from all different aspects. And detachment is really important. What's really important? Detachment. Detachment from the situation. After the fact. It's not personal. No, during the fact. During it. Yes. So how do you detach? You can be present. You can be present, but detached personally. Can you explain that? Yes. As in, I'm present and I understand all the threats that might be here or all the different, you know, male egos in this room in the favela. You know, I can see who's having trouble with my presence here. You know, I can tell he's got kind of an evil eye towards me. Okay. That's not personal. I'm a guest in his house. So I'm going to detach from it. And then I'm going to attack him verbally to defuse the situation. Attack not aggressively, but I'm going to go towards this guy and defuse his negativity. Oh, God. So you get it? I'm face it. I'm detached. Yes. It's not a personal reason that he hates me. I'm just a guy in here who might be coming for his crown. I could be a random favela guy. I could be a spy in his favela. Right. I could be a police. Who knows? You know, a billion threats in his head to keep his empire. I'm a random guy here. You get me? Yeah. So I understand that all these threats are here. It has nothing to do with me. So then I'm going to defuse the situation. So that's presence with detachment. Yeah. Detachment's a tough thing. Detachment was forced upon me because I was kidnapped. Yes. I'm like, oh, I don't need my YouTube channel. My family's setting this up from the outside, but it's really just me and here as well. I'm the only person who's in here. You get me? Like, I'm detached from everything. You also had the kind of surrender to the fact that you're not in controlled situation at all. Exactly. That's a level of detachment. Exactly. You know, and let me explain what I mean by this because it's not going to be what it sounds like. Some of what you're describing sounds in a similar vein as like method acting in a way. Right. And here's what I call control chameleon. Yes. But it's like you are aware that there are these things out of your control. Let's say you're sitting with the cartel guys and there's, you know, 15 of them in there. And it's like, well, you know, if I piss off the wrong guy, who knows what happens here? He never knows, but like you said earlier, instead of being fearless, you just have to fear less, which means you almost have to step outside of the fact that you're physically here in what is objectively a dangerous situation and just start to treat those same people as you would all other people show difference to the ones that appear to have more power. And in a way, put on an air of blissful ignorance aloofness to the sense that they start to realize you know what? He doesn't look at us like he's worried about the next thing we're going to do. He looks at us like he's just talking with us. I think he can stay. One of, if not the most common DMs I get on Instagram are many of you asking me what my favorite books are.

I want to make sure I'm trying to put myself in there. Yeah, cultural chameleon. Yeah. I wouldn't talk to you the same way I talk to my girl. Yeah. Baby, I love you. Yeah, I don't do that. So like, be many things to many people. It says that in Corinthians, if I'm not mistaken, Paul is speaking to a whole nation. And he says, speak to the Jews like the Jews, speak to the Romans like the Romans, speak to the Corinthians like the Corinthians. Right. One thing actually that we do so well in the West, and it's a bad thing, is that we believe that we have to communicate my way. Yes, it's my way. This is the only way of communicating. I'm correct, freedom. (laughing) You know what I mean? Like, because freedom of speech is our number one thing, so like don't silence me, I gotta do it my way. And so what you'll get is this personal attachment to these cultural situations, instead of just humbling yourself and learning their way of communication, right? There is an amazing line in the show, Homeland. I was gonna bring this up 20 minutes ago in something else, and now you just brought it to something that's just like it again. But Homeland is like, it was a show about some lady in the CIA who had severe anxiety. It was like a super spy or whatever, trying to catch terrorists. And so in season four, I think it was, there was the lead terrorist was an Afghani guy named Hakani, which by the way, Numen Akar, who played that guy. I put the hat of the Hakani guy on. They have a cultural hat. What's that called? What's that called, did you know it? 'Cause of what's his face? They dressed me in it right away. And they gave me history while they were doing it. They're like, this is the Hakani. This is from blah, blah, blah Hakani, one of the biggest leaders in Afghanistan. Well, this guy, so I guess they named him in the show like after someone real or something like that, for sure. - Yeah, for sure. - He was a fictional character, but he had-- - Oh, that's a big network. - Yeah, so he had, when you look him in the context of the show, he was blowing up people fighting his war, you know, he's a terrorist. That's how he's labeled. But he had this line that always stuck with me. And I've talked about it before on the podcast because it spoke to something way bigger than, you know, a character in the show, let alone, what the context of that person was. And he said, "America hates what it can't understand." - Yes. - It's a great line. - I think that is exactly what you're getting at right here. - We are the West. We know the way. This is how we communicate. This is everything. It's not to say, for example, that I don't think, 'cause I do think this free speech isn't better than not free speech. I do think that. But if I just go into a place that, say, doesn't practice free speech or something like that and say, you're bad, you're dumb. We know what we're doing. It's free speech. You should do it this way because of that. How the fuck am I ever going to get them to even open their mind to that kind of thing? - Right. - Yeah, just missle them. - Drone them. - Yeah. - Drone and tackle wedding. - Yeah, let them know. - Free speech. - Yeah. - Free speech. - So we go in, I mean, you've seen that then up close. A lot of these people have an idea of us because the previous people who have come to represent America come to them and don't understand. - That's infinite. - Yeah. - So imagine how much fear is induced in the minds of tens of millions of Americans. Now imagine how much fear is induced of Americans by blah, blah, blah, Taliban's or by Jews or by Lebanon has built. There's so many infinite, over thousands of years, you get it. So there's like so many ways that people perceive the world and the best way to treat it all. I know it sounds crazy. I'm not playing a political game. Wars have always existed, but it's just to treat everyone well. That's really what it comes down to. It's just like different culture, it's cool. Bro, you guys should take a boys trip to Afghanistan. Like, think about what that would do for the team, team trip. You guys should be traveling once every six months as a team or whatever to, you know, just you and your boys to learn new things. Probably make your podcast even. - Oh, I agree with that. - People always say like, even my family said this when I went into traveling. - It's like, what about your money, save it. I'm like, well, I have about 18 months of travel saved up right now. I wanna keep growing this operation. Let's make it 12. Let's put it all back in and worst case, I went to 35 countries this year and I have zero dollars. Assuming I make zero dollars along the way. Let's fucking do it. Now we're at 80 countries and we're not at zero dollars. - And you said you do this like on whims. You're like, oh, let's go there. It's not like you plan out, I'm gonna go to this country. And then that one and then that one and then the one you go with the vibes. - Just day by day. - Have a rough idea sometimes. - Yeah. Like I'll be in this country this month, but I'll figure it out as I go. I don't like the constraint. I gotta make my flight at 701. I'll fucking extend my flight if I want this. - The anxiety at times. - Yeah. - And I'm not doing that. - I like that. - Yeah, I'm not doing that. - How did you end up, what was the impetus to make you say, you know what, I wanna go live inside the cartels for a week or whatever. Like wait, was that just a ton of that? - That one was ego fueled. - Ego fueled. - Ego fueled for sure. - Would it just like to say you did it? - Yeah, fucking. - None of you can do what I do. (laughing) - I mean there's always that, you know. Like the whole journey is the conquering of the ego. That one was ego fueled for sure. It's like, it was also God sent me. It was a cool story. - What's the story? - I was scrolling Instagram again. - With that face. - All right, oh, cartels. - Bro, the thing is I don't scroll. Like I open Instagram two, three minutes max. - I move my thumb. - Exactly. (laughing) - You're scrolling? I move my thumb. (laughing) - Oh man, oh you're getting run out of it. - Yeah, so yeah, I don't scroll. Like I stop myself for the most part. So if I'm scrolling for two, three minutes and some shit pops up, God sent me this bro. Like maybe you think it's algorithm, but that's on you, you know, like I know this is sent to me. Why? X Hitman from the Mexican cartel just gets out of jail, turns to a Muslim, wants to visit Medina and Mecca, okay? And now there's an Instagram reel in my timeline with 2,000 views of him talking about his story. When in the world am I ever going to be able to document the cartel with this much safety and access? Never, never again. - Or with even that kind of story, that's crazy. - Never again, yeah. Never in my life. There's only now. So I DM him. No one's gone to him. I DM him, okay, just this one podcast guy, some random podcast he was speaking on. My DM him, hop on a call. Yo, let's do this, you know, it's going to be dangerous, right? Like some shit might happen, like we might die. Yeah, he's like, are you religious? I was like, somewhat, but not really. He's like, after you come out of this trip, if you do, you're going to be religious. Oh, he said that. He said that. On camera, it's part of episode one. Wow. Yeah. So you said, let's fucking do it. Fine, let's fucking do it. Where'd you go inside of what cartel? I can't say. You can't say. Yeah, I just rather. So it won't say area, we won't say which cartel. It's just Mexico, yeah. I mentioned it in the video that went to Michoacán to interview a hit man in the jungle. That was a cool, that was a cool day. That was one of the coolest days of my life, but also the most fearful. So wait, before I-- Not because of the hit man. Because another guy had to hit on us, another boss. Another boss put a hit on you and him because you were there interviewing him? I'll check, I'll tell you what happened. Yeah, please. Mexican hit man guy that's supposed to take me. Does an interview in between when we agreed on this and when we filmed it. Interview goes out and gets millions of views by Lad Bible. Now he's famous. And famous, not viral famous, but famous. Criminal niche famous. That's police, that's criminals, that's-- You get me, right? Curious people. So now we're in Mexico. Crazy guy who does journalist videos plus famous hit man is in Cancun. Police are smart enough, probably to see something like this. We are filming with some people. They get raided that night. That's part of the risk that comes with these kind of videos. Oh, sure. Staying super low-key. Yes. You know, mitigating a lot of these risks. Usually you want to stay quiet, because like-- You want to stay quiet, you want to get in and out quick. Because especially with some of these weaker lines, chains of command, you're in-- before word can even-- because word spreads quick. You can get to the top of a nation in a few minutes. Phone calls. I see what you're saying. One guy calls his guy who's high up in the intelligence. He calls the president, or the leader of the country. It takes two phone calls. Might take a few more in that, but yes. Sure, I see. But you get me, right? Yes. But it could happen in two. In a perfect world. Not really. President, especially in a corrupt country, president's high up to go. You can get there, but in a corrupt country, easier. They got a lot of people on the take in Mexico. I do a lot of Mexico content here. That's why I'm thinking about it a lot. No, I get you. I'm not talking about the President of Mexico. I'm just saying in general. Okay. So even towards a criminal mob boss, even towards a, but you get the idea. I'm explaining how quickly it can happen to the top. Yeah. Now imagine how quickly it can happen to a this guy or this, this, this, that's right. That's my point. Yes. Right. Like, I'm not saying that they're calling the President for this guy. I'm saying that that's how quickly a chain of command can happen. Yeah. A few minutes. So word spreads really quickly now. So that's also a really important thing is slithering your way through. It's even, I mean, like even in America, my buddy Brandon Bukingham. Oh, your buddy's with Brandon. Yeah. He got spray. He great guy. He got sprayed with like, I mean, they missed, but they hit it. They hit his producer and the jaw. They got sprayed with like 50, yeah, 50, six people. It's, he's, he's loving. He's loving. Yeah. Yeah. We met in Lebanon. Accidentally this year. No shit. How crazy is that? Were you there when he was doing the documentary? No, I, I, I hit up some people just in case he needed anything. I was with him on the line. Yeah. You need anything. Please text me. I appreciate that. I love Brandon. He's cool. He's a great guy. He really does care. But Brandon will put, you know, just like you like, like hope put himself in wild situations. But to your point like that, you hear that story. Just that was in Chicago. Like how quickly that escalated from just sitting around while a couple of dudes are playing video games to suddenly like, oh shit, you know, like six people are spraying bullets. Now think about. Wait, most of the fuck I hit in the jaw. I think it was most of the shots. Yeah. Have you seen this video? Recently, this was, this was nine months ago. Okay. So most of us good. Yeah. Yeah. No. No. No. Luckily, he was good. It's the most people should go watch it. We can't even play it. But it is on YouTube. Like this video will get demonetized. If you play it, that's why we have taboo TV. But he, yeah. I mean, that's what there's other people on there. They let, yeah, that you were telling me, like that's, that's the, that's the idea. So the other creators can come on and put the stuff. But like this, they did at least let him put it up, which was good. These two other creators are some of the sickest creators in the world. This guy was trained surfing in Bangladesh. Ceylon tour. He just went naked monkey hunting in the Amazon. So while we're sitting here recording a podcast, we're sitting here recording a podcast. There's a tribe in the Amazon that's hunting monkeys naked and they have a star link and they're watching TikTok women shaking ass. Yes. They're corrupted by right now. I know. So the world is so big. Yeah. And there's so many crazy creators. Okay. Well, lead. This guy is this guy just went right now. He's in West Africa. He just went the last two months. He's traveled 35 countries. He's been hitchhiking through black rivers and mountains and whatever. He's feeding 50 wild hyenas with his mouth. This guy goes to like blue volcanoes. He's been to 150 countries, summited Kilimanjaro or some. I love this shit crazy. But these are the craziest motherfuckers in the world. I love that shit. That's what we're putting on taboo TV. Very cool. Yeah. Well, they at least I'll give YouTube this. They let Brandon put the video up and it got pushed in the algorithm too. I assume it was demonetized. But I guess it was Mustafa because he's got a couple guys, but he kept the camera rolling. It's good. Well, I get to do it, man. Bro. And then like left it on the dumpster. He's like, Oh, shit, I'm here. Oh, my God. And like, he's like, I think I'm good. I'm alive. And then he leaves and the camera was still rolling when Brandon was talking with the cops. It's an insane, insane, insane video. But it does show you like when you go and you're getting real stories, you know, it's not like, hey, journalist, no touching every time. Like, that's not how that works. Yeah. No, no, you're in the danger. You're in the danger. And it's fun too. So you had this guy didn't did a lad Bible interview in between your time within that month. Yeah. And it went fucking nucleus. So then he gets a hit put on him, which means you allegedly have a hit on you. I don't think he got the hit put on him. Okay. I think the police rated the criminals that were showing us. And they thought it was us. So then the hit got put on us. Okay. Yeah. By the criminals. Yeah, I got you. Yeah. And just I think the police just tracked us. This guy was the same guy that you initially saw in the real who said he was hit. Yeah, yeah. He protected me. Oh, he protected me. Okay. So had he converted to Islam yet at that point? Yeah. Yeah. He was he was the deepest. He'll probably ever be in his maybe he's deeper now. You know, good for him. How did how did he when you were talking with him? How did he level that with what his career had been and perhaps maybe still was as a hitman? Was he still? No, no, no, he wasn't a hitman anymore. He was out. He left forgiveness, bro. Okay. Forgiveness. How did you got to be you got to be willing to forgive yourself and actually be on the path of becoming a higher person? So you think all the bad like, you know, karméic stuff that he built over that time. It can be canceled. He can restart and cancel it out even at that level. Yeah. For sure. For sure. Okay. In a room of darkness, even a single flame will light the room. So that's a really important lesson to know. And even the deepest darkness, right? Like that's why it says in the scriptures that Jesus went down to hell for three days. That's a symbolic description of what happens to the majority of great men along their path of becoming great. You know, some of the greatest saints were some of the greatest sinners before them. Yes. Like they were out doing the craziest shit. That's that's the path of a man as well, like that curiosity that willingness to break all the barriers that society puts on you. You know, to take care of your bloodline, to take care of your family, to do well, stack well. Like that's just a man. You know, you go through all these sufferings by yourself. Nobody hears about them. Not even your girl. Like not even your not even your wife, not your parents. Like it's just you. It's the shit that you're going through. You know, other men go through them. You know, it's but it's it's it's on the other end comes out this love, this eternal love and forgiveness, this power that many men watching might have felt before and I'm sure it's going to resonate with them. And that is replicable. You're able to summon that at any point. Many people have different skill sets. Okay. Some people are good at creating $50 million. Some people are good at bending a room with their words. Words are magic. Have you gone into that? Like that phrase and breaking that down. Words are magic. I mean, I agree that if every word that comes out of your mouth, are you saying it's literally magic literally shaped it in a way that, you know, the way you express things can move people. Yes. Both. Okay. Both. So what's the action of writing a word letter by letter called writing or letter by letter in like class when you're an elementary. Yeah. Spelling is magic. It's a spell. You're writing a spell. Oh, yes. He's like a Kanye bar. Sure. It's parents powered. Sure. It could be. Right. It definitely could be a Kanye bar. Yeah. But it's right in front of you. Your whole life. And you've never chosen to see it. Your words can move rooms. Your words can make people cry. Negative or positive. I told I had this chicken sandwich once in Norway. Mold in Norway. The middle of nowhere. Chicken sandwich. The best dude I've been all over the world. I'm a foodie. I love food. I've had the best foods in the world. The worst whatever. Norway had the best chicken sandwich. Dude, I'm in fucking mold in Norway. This grandma shop on there for five days. Okay. I had this chicken avocado sandwich. I don't know what this woman made it out of, but it was decades of her making this. I had it for five days. All five days I was there. And then I went and told this lady on my way out. I'm like, let's leave some good vibes. So I said, I don't know what you've done with this sandwich. I've been all over the world. I blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, but your sandwich is the best sandwich I've ever had in my life by a mile. I've never had anything like it. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Blah, blah, blah, 60 year old like grandma. She started crying. Tears of joy that probably made her day. Maybe even her week. She's going to go on then and carry that even more. Yes. With more love into her food. To all these other people that come through her cafe, bro, that's infinite stacking. I agree. You get me? Yes. So that was my words that did that. So I know that I can hurt people with my words too. That's what I used to do in streaming kind of. It was never malintented, but like a guy shit talks. I'm going to shit talking back. You were incentivized to do that. Exactly. Yeah. Right. Like every minute someone comes and shit talks, I'm going to smoke them. You know, like I can be ruthless like that. But it was always with like intent to maybe even before I knew it. But now that I know it, now that I know how powerful these things can be, you become more specific with them. Right. Like let's say you grow up a streamer. You're always clip farming everything for the clip. Okay. What if you got good enough with your words to clip farm everything, but like positive clips. What if now all the clips you're putting out into the world are you interacting with people in a positive way? Yes. you know, what if all your actions are actually just like that, actively trying to become better and you stack that and then millions of people watching, then hundreds of millions of people watch it. That's the only reason that I should say that's the main reason this show works. Yeah, because it's like this. It's just live, let it happen. People go and make money off of it. Yeah. People learn from it. They go to create greater things for the world, like podcasting is a big medium of education as well. Yeah. You don't even need university anymore. University is more for the ability to build discipline. Yeah. You know, but the knowledge is everywhere, everywhere. I have editors in Haiti, I have editors in South Africa. They can learn from their phone, they can clip from their phone. Yeah. You know, and then they can get paid in crypto to their phone. Exactly. It's amazing. It's a whole new world that we live in. I think university in a perfect world, the ones that are good and do a good job. Obviously, we have some problems in that system right now, but it teaches you the language. But you have to go experience how to write and how to sing. Yeah. The world is going to shape you to do that. Like clearly, I mean, you're living example of that. Like you probably packed like fucking 40 lifetimes into the last six years, three years, four years specifically. You know what I mean? Yeah. But like you learn how to adapt like some of that base understanding you have to then go into a moment, receive what you're getting and deal with it. Yes. Yeah. Because there's always going to be a new contender. Yes. A new challenger in front of you, a new whatever. Mm-hmm. Whether it be like your brother, you know, ego battling you or or you're a friend in the street or a stranger or your girl or your mother, every every action is a specific choice that you know, you have to figure out how to manage. Absolutely. It could be 30 seconds. It could be five minutes. But all of it is a new lifetime. Every single day is a new lifetime. When you start living like that, that doesn't mean forget about your life. It means just make sure you're doing more. Make sure you're learning more today. Explore new things. Fill yourself with the skills. Okay. Expand your mind to be able to store more. I mean, you're barely using any percent of your brain. Have you thought about that? How about this? How about every prayer? Would you pray? Where do you pray? When I pray? Where do you pray? Do you pray at all? I believe there's a God and I believe that I'm going to have to answer to something that created me, which in that case would be God one day. And I very much, very much agree with the way you describe stacking things and doing good. I believe in the karma of life. So I'm humble in the face of that. And I'm also humble in the face of what I don't know. So I don't want to scribe to an organized religion. I'm open-minded on pretty much any ancient text that people want to break down. But I do, if not to sound like a meta or like fucking woo-woo, but I do talk to the universe if you will. So if you want to call that praying, that I do call that praying. That's exactly what I mean by praying. And when you do that, where do you do that? Anywhere. No. Yes. No. It's very random. I don't want to have like a set place where I go do that. No, that's not a wrong answer. I'm just telling you, think deeper. Where do you do that? In my heart? Sure. Yeah. The prayer originates from either your heart or your mind. I think it's a combination. Yeah. And most people are still looking outwards. But yet all the greatest philosophers and thinkers and kings have all pointed to one thing, which is look inwards. Yeah. It's physical too. It's not just I totally agree. You feel it sometime. Yeah, I saw. It just gives you this feeling like, okay, do this. I don't know why, but I'm going to do it. There's something confirming me to do this, to help this person to do whatever. To post this video like something. Yeah. And it's a spectrum. It can be things that are like, oh, the universe is lining that up. This happens all the time. That makes me need to do that. It's the universe telling me like, oh, this happened at the same time. That's a lot of positive. But like I saw something unexpected yesterday. That I didn't like, right? I didn't expect to see it. I just kind of bumped into it and it's something personal. And I got a joke from my heart. Manifested down my arms and my knees went weak for a minute. And this was like that. And it was shortly after that, where I did kind of one of those like talking to the universe things, trying to make sense of what I had just seen the reality of it, what was in my control, what wasn't. And it's just funny you're bringing this up because I was literally going to bed last night, thinking about that, about how the connection of physical manifestation inward is directly correlated with the way that you mentally understand yourself and make sense of your surroundings. And I don't know. It was just, and this was like almost like a stupid thing, but like my heart wanted something and didn't see what it wanted. And it just told everything in me down to my actual consciousness, hey, that that wasn't what you wanted, but it's going to be all right. You have to you have to sit in that now. Yeah. Because sometimes God is teaching you something. Yeah. Now it's just getting a lot of patience or something or whatever. It was the same exact thing that happened a month before that as well. Same situation. I was like, oh, this is like a huge test for me. Yeah. I mean, do you care to share it? No. Yeah. That's cool. That's good. Keep that one. Yeah. But it's exactly that. And just as these guys were bulletproof, this warlord, okay, through demonic entities, you can also have divine forces behind you. Yes. Yes. Except it requires much more humility. Because you're not feeding the ego. You're instead tuning into thoughts given to you by the creator of all things. How do you tune into that? You have to learn to fix the radio antenna of your mind to not attach to negative thoughts. Uh-huh. Because just as there is this, there is this, the in and the yang. Okay. So those thoughts that come in every single day, okay, they can either be higher purpose or lower purpose thoughts. And you get better at tuning them in. But then this guy's always trying. This guy's always trying to come back in. But what are those thoughts? Where would you define them on the scale of time? It's gonna come full circle for you. Presence. Exactly. Those thoughts are all past or future. Yes. The now or you are, they're not the emptiness of right now. And I mean, emptiness and a positive light there. Yes. I get you. Because the game is actually, eventually you, the game is to not think. It's to be present. Yeah. Like I'm not thinking what I'm going to tell you. I'm just here and it comes out of my mouth. Right. Like I become a messenger in a way. What I need to. Now there's other times where I'm out there. My ego takes over, you know, or like I'm gaming with the boys and I'm chatting shit with them or whatever. But if I'm out here and I'm doing, let's say a podcast like this where we've gotten into deep spiritual stuff, you'll, you'll feel the truth that I'm speaking because I'm, I'm tuned in to that. Anyone can tune into it. You just have to learn. It's a long journey. Yes. It's a long journey. And it's a lot of knowledge that you've got to consume along the way. And when you seek it from the universe, God sends you it. Well, yeah. No, I can, I already totally believed in that. But yeah, it's just been like, I've gotten goosebumps a few times today just because like you hit me up yesterday. Yeah. That thing happened an hour later. Totally. And then I wasn't thinking about like our podcast today. I'm thinking about other things. The themes that I was then thinking about you and I don't know each other. I've never talked with you about this stuff before. Those themes are exactly what you brought up at the outset today and brought up throughout this whole thing. Yeah. And now we're here doing it. And it's like, why did that happen? We could have done this three months ago when Sony first wanted us to do it at one time. Yeah. I didn't really forgot about that too. I was like, Oh, shit. Oh, he texted you too. Yeah. Yeah. He texted me. We were supposed to do this one. But now it happened now. And it's like, yeah, that's wild. Yeah. So that thing from four months ago connected to now. Yeah. You don't need to drop some bars. But this one will, this one might lose. Drop it on me. Come on. Let's play the piano and get this B rolling. I lost the power bank four years ago. A power bank. One of my best power banks. Power bank is really important for me. Okay. Okay. Really important. Like, like, like I need it to survive. I'm traveling for seven days. Sometimes I can't charge. I'm gonna film if I need my, I have three power banks. It's allowed me to survive everywhere. You know, really productively. I lost it four years ago. So whatever, I buy a new one. I lost it at my friend's house who's in New Jersey and I was meeting him yesterday. And he shows up and he gives me that power bank back. And he looks, he goes look, look what I got you. Like what is this? You lost it at my house four years ago. I was like, oh, fuck, I did. I gave my cousin who I rented the beater with that we, that we fucking spun out on the highway. I gave him my power bank so he would have battery on his way back to Canada. He has to drive the beater back. Five hours by himself. - After all that? - Yeah. So I gave it to him the other day and I was gonna buy a new one tomorrow. And all of a sudden my power bank from four years ago appears with my friend who I haven't seen in months. Just like, here's your power bank. That in itself is like, oh shit. The past from four years ago just connected to this car accident beater we just rented. And then I gave it away in abundance. Power banks are my babies, bro. Like I'm not attached to anything but you fucking my power banks. Someone's gonna show up at your mom's house with some roses, you know? (laughing) So like to me it was a lot, you know? (laughing) I'm like a fucking power bank, bro. Let's go. So it was like, it was just another sign that the universe is listening. It gives you a lot of signs, you know? It's whatever. It's a power, I don't care if the power bank's gone. But it's like when it gives you that little, like all this just connected, just as it did with you. It also did with me and maybe the viewers can resonate and other things in their life. That's the beginning. The more you tune into that, the more it comes to you. And the key to tuning it, have you ever turned your brain off? I, no. You need to turn your brain off. Like off, off. That's not possible. It's so hard here. Turning it off, off. Is that like a metaphor rather, you know? It's a meditation. It's just breathing. You stop, you breathe, you take some time. It's throughout the day, bro. You talk to the universe throughout the day, right? Like you said, anywhere. Yeah, dude. While you look inwards, instead of looking outwards and you breathe, that breath is what? You got something you're putting into the universe. No, that breath is the Holy Spirit. That's not what I was gonna say. Okay. That Holy Spirit, that Ruhar Kudus, that Muslims talk about, the Holy Spirit that Christians talk about. Okay, even mentioned in all the scriptures there's a Holy Spirit. Bro, what keeps you alive since the moment you're born? Oxygen, before food and water. And you've never thought about it. You actually stay alive automatically by this thing. That you're never taught to do either. Without this thing, you die. What happens if next time you manifest from the universe, you breathe. With trust. So you ask God for something, as you ask it, you breathe. What you're doing there is you're bridging the gap of the Holy Spirit. And by filling that energetic field with trust, the universe will respond. As you become more aware, it becomes quicker. At the beginning, it might take weeks, months, depending on the strength of your faith, depending on how much work you've done. But it becomes quicker. See, the thing is that you'll see people talk about religion, they'll say, blind faith. Blind faith, you don't ask these things, it says. But blind faith is actually made by questioning everything. Yes. Blind faith doesn't mean you can't question everything. It means question everything and trust that as you live in the presence, the future is going to be okay. You get me? Yes. I have blind faith that I'm going to be okay after I leave this room. I have blind faith that I'm going to be okay tomorrow in the present moment wherever I am. I have blind faith everywhere that I'm going to be okay. Okay. That doesn't mean that there isn't an energetic rejection of it. There is, but I don't dwell on it. I don't attach to a. You don't dwell on it. Yeah, like I'm not attaching if I say, okay, I don't believe this. I'm not going to attach that. I'll literally only attach the beliefs in my thoughts. So you're not guaranteeing it, you're assuming it for your own peace. Meaning if you walked out that door right now and some guy had broken in here and blew your brains all over the hardwood floor, it wouldn't happen. It wouldn't happen. No, because you're not thinking it would. But afterwards, you're in the afterlife. If you look at that, you'd be like, well, that's just the way it goes. Well, you're arguing a theoretical in the future. This doesn't exist. Yeah. You're automatically binding yourself by time, bro. (laughing) - Geo's saying I'm real. - Come on, bro. - I didn't smoke enough for this. - He gets it. I think he gets it, bro. He's been sitting here. This is speaking to him. Yeah, he's like a physics guy. He's very into this stuff. This was a good one for you to be here for sure. - It's like, imagine saying a guy blows out your brains. Bro, come on, I've lived like Morocco, Favella, Haiti, I'm not worried about a guy in New Jersey. - You remind me of a friend of mine, Luis Navia, and I can't, I just can't help it all day. But you've lived a better life than him in every way, 'cause he was a, sorry, Luis. Luis, Luis was literally like the chief smuggler for every cartel around the world for 25 years. - Just talk to him. - But I did. Yeah, he was here. We did two episodes. That was episode 221 and 222, so that was last year. But he, one of the most fascinating people I've ever talked with, he's been out of that world now for 25 years or so. But, you know, a moral guy, the definition of a moral. There's no, like you talk about, there's no right and wrong. Like he takes that to a whole different level to I believe a fault, right? And he was very reflective about this, especially in the second half of our conversation. We really got somewhere with that. Like an hour into the second episode. - But I didn't say that, yeah. - You didn't say there's no right and wrong. - I communicated it, but I didn't say that specifically. - Okay, well, please correct that before I go on. - I'm with you, but I wouldn't throw that blanket statement to the viewers, 'cause they're not there yet. - Can you explain that? - Yes. You have to be careful for unearned wisdom. There is no right and wrong, if I'm to tell you from, you know, where I'm personally at in life, but there is a right as in, there's a karmic retribution for your intention, but on a subjective scale of right and wrong, that's why you have wars happening. - Yes. - This guy thinks he's right and this guy thinks he's right. And they both think they're the good guy fighting for God. - Yep, yep. - And so what they're doing is they're just killing each other. - Yes. - Which is wrong. But they believe they're all right, right? - Yes, you get me? - I do. - So there is no right and wrong if you understand it. - Okay, so I don't think he's reached even at this point the transcendental level you have to fully comprehend that. But the reason I was bringing him up is because where there is a similarity between you two is Luis. Luis never carried a weapon. He never had to kill anyone. He never had to do any of those things. He was kidnapped by leaders of cartels and would do exactly what you did. Just be like totally, I would describe it as like a natural comedic aloofness to the situation to put people at ease to the point that they'd be like, "Mother fucker, we're gonna kill you." He's like, no, no, no, no, just order dinner. We'll be fine. And they're like, what? - Yeah, right. - Like, he doesn't have fear. Like, what are we gonna do with this guy? - Right. - So he's like Mr. McGoo, you gotta keep him around. - Yeah. - And I think that you have some like, you have such a peace and you've obviously had this for a long time. You had it going into the Haiti thing because you wouldn't be able to handle it the way you did without it. But you have some sort of peace towards, I don't control what comes next. So I'm just gonna let this happen and I'm gonna do it with a smile on my face. - Yeah. Yeah, for sure. - That's great. And it's been there before I could even communicate it. - Yeah, yeah. - What happened when you guys had the criminals like put the hit out on you 'cause of the lad Bible thing. - That's the most fear I ever felt. - What did you guys do? - My face was twitching in like a way that was just, he just kept us out of it. I just trusted him. I mean, I'm not gonna know what to do better than him. - Yeah. - And I was like three days in and the fourth and a half day was the Hitman interview and that's what I came for. So I wasn't gonna leave. - Yeah. - So you just go. - Is that a different Hitman you were interviewing? - Yeah, yeah. - What were you still in? - No, I didn't interview, I interviewed an active Hitman. - Right, yeah. - What was that like? - Really cool. Huh, that was one of the more fun experiences of my life. What did you think of him? He treated me nice, you know? And going back to that circumstantial question, why I can't judge, I mean his circumstances are crazy, you know? Born in this area in Mexico Parent gets killed by the cartellar some shit and then like his older cousin wants him to join the cartellar is uncle I forget it was like really intense, you know It's like it's more that you just got a show loved to everyone like I didn't think of him in a judgmental Like oh, he's negative. It was thank you for the conversation. Thanks for spilling what you could To me and giving this to the world It was a it was appreciated, you know, we smoked the bowl together Did you ask him what he thought of himself as a person? I? Did yeah, what is that actually that was the point in my life where I was like super super curious about All these different people and and the way they live things and I asked really I would ask really like deep question that would ask like That and like, you know, how much you get paid per kill and he wouldn't answer it And so I pushed it like three four times throughout the interview. I kept trying to get it out of him and eventually I kind of did Asked him what his mom thinks if he loves people if he has children like I asked him family The thing is I try to get personal with them. What was it? Yeah, what was his answer? What is his mom think that he have kids? I'm sure his mom doesn't know. Okay. He has a few kids It's not like something that sticks out anymore, right like Because think about it this way. It's like you live this adventure now. You have to produce it for a month So you're sick of it by the time you produce it You move on to the next one like you're just doing the YouTube games like I live it I absorb it in the experience. I wrote about it right after that experience. That's when I started my book Yeah, I was like whatever fear I felt today. I need to write about it. I whatever this whatever happened in last 48 I'm writing about it the last five days of the cartel I have to write about it while it's fresh so on my way out I'm like exhausted. We've just traveled 20 hours inside of Mexico in the last day three different cars break down I'm on the plane. I got like I'm finally out into safety once I'm on the plane I started writing Two and a half hours on my way back home You know, that's when the book started. Yeah, download literally It'll never be more fresh than this. Do you think someone like that? Radically compartmentalizes meaning he goes and he's the hit man He does his job he kills people all the things that comes with that then he goes home to his kids And he genuinely is a father and doesn't want for them what he has to do I think everybody's a person I think you can get the light out of any dark being and I did so with the warlord By the grace of God, you know, but that guy would step into our room and he would get weak He stopped coming into our room after a few days because his Soldiers would see him in this like weak laughing state Like he'd come and he'd laugh for like oh, this is the funniest white guy I've ever kidnapped like let's enjoy him a bit too You broke the barrier. Yeah Yeah, like the dude brought a big ass dog I'm scared of dogs before that I conquered my fear right there brought this big ass dog like the ones you see in the I'm watching all that. Yeah fucking slaubering chains on puts it in front of me and I'm like I pet that bitch Before hand bro beforehand. I would have been like oh my god So you were afraid of dogs. Yeah, what was that? Did you get attacked when you were a kid? I think my mom instilled it in me. No, your mom was afraid of dogs. I'm afraid of a lot of things. Mm-hmm She's amazing. I love you mom. That's interesting your mom's afraid of a lot of things But you live your life doing the opposite as part of that like a lot of I guess so part of the cycle of whatever Yeah, what are your parents think about what you do? It's dangerous, you know, but I think my dad's like all right with it now. He's found peace with it as a man would you know My mother's still you know begs to stop I Listen, I mean, I listen like I slow it down, but we also have different perceptions of fear Right like for her the Taliban scary for me. It's like just some Arab dudes. They're not like a cartel You know, they're just like some Arab dudes that I could chat about Religion with and film a cool video. Yeah, yeah, but you've had a lot of situations where you're I mean, we talked about a couple, but there's been a lot of other ones where You haven't experienced where you could have died like right there, but people aren't just trying to kill you They're not no, man. That's the one thing the West gets fucked up like everyone's trying to kill you No, that's like a Western national kind of propaganda thing you have to adhere to in order to build a national pride But people aren't trying to kill you bro like if you're not coming into Afghanistan to kill this guy He's not trying to kill you He's just trying to defend his turf and tribalism has existed since the beginning of time There are so many tribes you got your tribe you got you two together You know, I'm probably your close circle and you guys stick together and you watch out for each other Likewise, some people do that at a larger scale at a much larger scale at a malicious scale at a at a nation scale You know, it's all a Kind of a rise for Power and protection of your own people like we just want to guarantee a safety Now you can go to the angle like okay, yeah, but they're gonna try to convert you and if they can they'll convert the whole world Yeah, that's just part of civilization like religions exist languages exist You know, I still think that the best answer is just being the light everywhere just As long as you carry the light within you you're good you do recognize though that any situation regardless of religion Where it is what the culture is? when it's a tougher place where socio economic it's almost always where socio economic opportunities are not as ripe as other places the people who may be Seizing power in an attempt to tell the others it's for everyone safety and security are the very ones who take that away yes Right, and you've sat with a lot of these guys. Yes but I Also grew up in a day and age Where everyone is connected everyone has a phone 9998 percent of people in the world have a phone maybe even more they have access to apps which allow them to access the whole world so And now there is a Internet money angle where anyone can create money out of thin air. Yes, I'm literally just grabbing tens of thousands of dollars I don't know where fucking, you know subscriptions and YouTube and spawn whatever. It's I don't know where just get sent into my account What did I do? I just uploaded? You know what I mean like like really it's out of nowhere So anyone in Afghanistan can get paid. I have editors in Afghanistan anyone in Latvia Ecuador people places with no with none of this technology, you know and Although there's these people ruling and they might censor that information such as a place like let's say North Korea okay It also doesn't matter because One the ignorance is bliss to you don't know better Which is the same thing one and two but like when you worry like that like you don't know better if you're someone in that society You don't know better the problem doesn't actually exist Right like you can't even comprehend that it's a part of your reality exactly Like if you're in Afghanistan and you're a wrapped up woman wearing a hijab who you know cooks and takes care of the household and the children and whatever You're not thinking that I could have an only fans and that's gonna make me free Yeah, I think yeah, I think the extreme opposite's bad, too, because I get you. Yeah, no, I get you But I use extremes to yes, no, absolutely. Yeah, it makes sense But also that same woman though her mother may have gone to university in Western clothes in Afghanistan in the 1960s or 70 maybe totally but Lods change every day Even in the US, hmm, so laws are not actually written in stone They're in in sand Does that make sense? Yeah, it changes. Yeah, so today right now they're voting on hundreds of laws All across We might be legal today in New York tomorrow. It's not Mm-hmm. Okay, alcohol might be legal today tomorrow. It's not this thing crypto might be legal today tomorrow It's not I mean not that specifically crypto is gonna stay for but the idea of like okay Can we gamble on meme coins? Oh president trump launched a meme coin the day before he goes into office now It's free for all for the world for crypto to adopt Technology across the globe. Fuck it Now we all have a green light. Mm-hmm. So that law changed before it was even a law It changed you get me trump launched a coin now these countries want to launch a coin now try from showing that the US will be the hub of crypto for the world, freedom we take. - Thank you guys for checking out this clip.
