Welcome to Spirit Jim. There's an ancient question that every spiritual tradition asks,

Who am I? But today we need to ask a deeper question. Are we ready to grow up?

72% of humanity is still thinking like children. No matter how old their bodies are,

they are still looking for a father figure to tell them

what to do, how to live, and what to believe. For Mark Gober, Paul's guest today, the world

shift that happened in 2020 forced him to ask a terrifying question. If 72% of people think like

children, who's actually running the world?

When the world shut down, Mark watched spiritual teachers he respected,

people who had guided him through his own conscious awakening,

suddenly forget their own teachings and betrayed their own wisdom.

They supported government mandates, They silenced dissent,

and they fell in line with the mainstream narrative without question. Mark realized he had a problem.

If these people were wrong about this, what else had he missed? In today's episode, Paul and Mark

explore why smart, conscious people fell for tyranny,

and what that reveals about the difference between spiritual theatre and actual spiritual

maturity.

They talk about implied consent versus explicit consent, ask the question, what is government

really, and discuss the social contract you never signed.

And most importantly, how do we grow up as a species?
