28 FEB 2020 · A little bit about my own encounters with a couple of angels, and 3 incredible parables one of them told me. I think of them as stories for adults but written so simply even a child could understand....but really, it's told so simply even an adult can understand, because kids get it.  You can support my work by donating to me at ko-fi.com/joblakely it is much appreciated.

15 FEB 2020 · True Love, for me is the very treasure spoken of in the Parables of the Kingdom, and yet the perpetuation of the Patriarchy and the shame and denial of the body and desires has led to very few actually achieving it. We deny ourselves the very thing we desire the most.   I talk about what True Love is, what it has become, and why. The Garden of Love William Blake I went to the Garden of Love, And saw what I never had seen: A Chapel was built in the midst, Where I used to play on the green. And the gates of this Chapel were shut, And Thou shalt not. writ over the door; So I turn'd to the Garden of Love, That so many sweet flowers bore. And I saw it was filled with graves, And tomb-stones where flowers should be: And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds, And binding with briars, my joys & desires.

2 FEB 2020 · In this episode we are exploring the gamification of the spiritual journey as represented through Tarot and also in Snakes & Ladders. And whether divination is good or bad. Or is it neither good nor bad. Or is it both! I go through all the major arcana and the suits and show the relationship between it and the Testaments of God - from the journey through the Old Covenant to the New. I have a theory that this interpretation has been hidden within the cards, like great truths within parables, to keep the teachings alive of the true early illiterate Christian Jews who had to go into hiding and conceal their knowledge or risk being murdered or exiled. It was a picture book in playing card format that depended on understanding the pictures and symbols, like words, which contained a wealth of knowledge about the true spiritual journey.  This morphed over the centuries into a gambling card game called Tarocchini and much later into use in Divination.   More information about this podcast and other episodes can be found at ihaveatheorypodcast.com  Here is the Wikipedia page of the Major Arcana for you to look at while listening if you like.

15 DEC 2019 · I had a convergence of several ideas that spoke truth and love to me. Things I ‘gravitated’ towards as much as they seemed to gravitate towards me. All these different ideas were coming together in my mind and led me to an understanding about my (our) true nature and that we are made of mostly nothing…held together by a sense of self which we think of as our edges—and I had a theory that if I wanted to, I should be able to literally become nothing and vanish with will alone. That was my theory at any rate and that theory…I was going to test. This brought me to a very condensed period of peak intensity and many things happening at once to ensure that my experiment and proof of my theory was not just a success, but something of great value, through grace, courage, love, and trust/faith.  I fall apart a bit at the end. lol.   "Knock, And He'll open the door. Vanish, And He'll make you shine like the sun. Fall, And He'll raise you to the heavens. Become nothing, And He'll turn you into everything." Rumi "The prayer of the monk is not perfect until he no longer recognizes himself or the fact that he is praying." St. Anthony We cannot ask if the part is creating the whole, or the whole is creating the part - the part is the whole- the dream is the dreaming itself."

3 DEC 2019 · Today we are going to continue our climb up the mountain and we will travel from Base Camp to the edge of the Leap of Faith. Depending on when you count my own start time – it took me about three years to get there. The climb is like a treasure map that has been cut into many pieces and each piece hidden somewhere on the mountain like a treasure hunt. The very gathering of the pieces and solving of the puzzles on the treasure hunt, creates the map of the journey. It creates the treasure itself --- the Eternal You - saved, whole and holy.  There are 7 qualities you will need, and these same qualities will be tested and forged into a whole person capable of taking the Leap of Faith and inheriting the Kingdom of Heaven and the World to Come.  Discernment Humility Perseverance  Integrity  Wisdom  Purity Compassion.  I will go into these a bit and why they are both the fruits and the way. Happy trails!  A reading list and more information about this episode will be available shortly at ihaveatheorypodcast.com Please see the episode guides for more information about each episode.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ihaveatheory/message

11 NOV 2019 · The spiritual journey has often been likened to climbing a mountain, and in this episode, I will be your Sherpa as we go from the valley at the very bottom of the mountain up towards base camp.  I will show you the amazing sites and terrible pitfalls that you will find here to help make your journey a safe one.  More information can be found at ihaveatheorypodcast.com  Comments and questions can be recorded at anchor.fm/ihaveatheorypodcast  You can also reach out and follow me at twitter.com/joblakely42 Thanks for listening! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ihaveatheory/message

31 OCT 2019 · Halloween has always been a favorite as I love to dress up in different costumes and I am born very close to the holiday so my birthday was always a Halloween costume party as a child. Halloween costumes became a competitive sport in our family.  This week (so early I got it to you!! spooky!) I have two Spoooky Stories about all things dark and mysterious. the first,  I think should be called The Ballad of the Dark Matter Jabberwocky, and it tries to get to the bottom of the nonsense around dark matter. The second story is one of Dark Energy and Death.  Bwahahahaha.

16 OCT 2019 · I have a theory - a big one - the big one.... The universe we see is just one side of a dipole magnetic field and the return of that flow to source (which maintains the constant universe over 'time') is by the annihilation of the self through a density of information/understanding and converting mass to energy  'inwards' to that 'other'-side') and returning in the flow. The One Self-Reflecting. This is the return of information in such a form that it is as a 'proof of concept' capable of returning to source by the annihilation of the self/ego...this is why the teaching of humility is important as you can't become nothing if you are full of yourself - or have attachments to material things. In Christianity it is The Death & Resurrection, in Judaism it is 'Enoch walked with God and Was Not for God took him' & Chariot/Merkabah Mysticism, In Buddhism it is Mu which means 'Not', and in Sufism it is Fana Fillah. But wait there's more! The episode really does cover a lot of ground in an overall sort of way. I cover Time, Gravity, Left Handedness and Spin, Bicameralism, Particle Physics, Electromagnetic Field, Quantum Theory and more.  I welcome your questions, insights, knowledge, & corrections - You can record them at anchor.fm/ihaveatheorypodcast or reach out on twitter @joblakely42. More information can be found at the website ihaveatheorypodcast.com  BTW the book that I was reading that was the 'missing piece' for me was Faraday, Maxwell and the Electromagnetic Field. A wonderful biography of two geniuses that gave me an understanding about things I had not previously looked into or understood at all. I still barely understand the details- but the big picture - the theory of EVERYTHING - I really think I get well.  Thanks for listening!   

7 AUG 2019 ·  James Clerk Maxwell, one of the 3 greatest scientists in history had a thought experiment in order to show how the 2nd law of thermodynamics - one of the supposed immutable laws, could be violated. He imagined that a demon separated the fast moving molecules from the slow moving ones causing one side to heat up from the motion and the other side to cool down. This reduction in possibilities and the heating up of particles from a cooler state goes completely against the 2nd law of thermodynamics. The requirement for this concept however was that the demon had to have full knowledge of the system and all the molecules in it in order to determine which were fast and which were slow and where they would be located at any given time. This idea was considered at the time nonetheless impossible because no one could know all the information. But big data and our lack of data privacy and laws have changed that and I have a theory that Cambridge Analytica (and others which surely will follow in their place) have 'cracked' this and have weaponized it against us, and will continue to do so until we do something about it.   More information and supporting documents and video can be found at ihaveatheorypodcast.com  Thank you for listening.
