You can see my fear there. Do I really want to send these people down this just miserable experience of, you know, having a child that they've sacrificed everything for, you know, leave that path that they've literally spent their whole lives trying to set up for me.

You know, I think when you reveal where you're at with the church, sometimes you hide things. I certainly did with my wife at first. I might have told her where I was at, but that might have been like two months prior, and I had gone much further.

And that was always a point of contention between us because I would say something, but it was more of me from two months ago saying something.

The more I am authentic with myself and with other people, the more I just want to just be authentic all of it. It's very addicting just to be who you are and not hide everything because I've been hiding things, you know, most of my life. My life.

We can ask ourselves, when was I ever trained in the techniques of emotional self-hilling? When I went to school, did they teach me of courses on consciousness? Did anybody ever tell me that I had the freedom to choose what went into my mind?

Was I ever taught that I could refuse all of the negative programming? If not, why beat ourselves up about having innocently believed certain things? Why not stop beating ourselves up right now, right now?

We've all been unwittingly programmed without our conscious ascent. Out of confusion, ignorance and naivety, we bought into the negative programs. We let them run us, but now we can choose to stop.

We can choose a different direction. We can choose to become more aware, more conscious, more responsible, and more discerning. We can refuse to sit there like a blank tape recorder, taking in every program in the world to hands us. The world is only too willing to exploit our naivety and play upon our smallness with all of its vanities and fears.

That part was just incredibly powerful because it's basically saying it's not your fault.

This is infants on thrones. Baby steps won't stop to preach to you. The philosophies of men. I like magical time. What brings you to you?

Mingled with humor. I don't believe it. It would be many willing to preach to you the philosophies of men mingled with humor. We are evolving.

Baby steps. Even by end, it's world of money.

Look for the good in everything. Look for the people who will set your soul free. And always seems impossible until it's done.

Look for the good in everyone.

Welcome back to infants on thrones. This is episode 715. Navigating a faith crisis in real-time part 4.

I hope you've been following along with this series. We've got one more. It's going to be a five-part series with Reed.

This one was a really, really good one. I just want to say to Reed.

Reed, you're amazing. You're awesome that you're willing to do this in front of all of these listeners.

And for listeners that have responded to me, I've heard from several of you that this has been very meaningful to you.

And so I'm really happy for that. For those of you who I haven't heard from, I'd like to. And I've got a survey that you could fill out.

And you can always send me an email at infants on thronesingmail.com. But go and check out the survey. Fill it out.

And I want to let you know that I am going to start doing group coaching on April 4th.
