Mikki Willis: How Our Modern Age Is Severing the Human Connection to the Divine

Time Text
Most people know me as a filmmaker and really my life's work has just been a fascination with people and really through anthropology and ontological studies of just really discovering like what really makes us tick and why do we do what we do.
That was all just out of a curiosity to figure out who and what the heck I am.
And what I noticed though is that a lot of the stuff that's occurring in the world It's going to continue to occur as long as we resist taking responsibility for the ways that we've participated in it.
And there is, as we've all seen, a real concerted effort to divide the people, you know, because united we stand and divided we fall.
Those words were spoken 2,600 years ago, and they stand just as powerful today as they did then.
And the people that want us divided know that that's the case, that if they can keep us fighting with, you know, ideological warfare, with just these new social trends, if they can keep all this stuff in the media to where we're obsessing on all of these things,
they matter, but they don't matter as much as the energetics that are keeping us in this cycle.
And what I mean by that is the core agenda is to, in some way, disempower the human soul, this thing we call our soul.
I use it interchangeably with the spirit.
In 2008, I had a profound experience.
I was driving down a single-lane country road, and there was a dead bird in the road, flat, and I had to drive around it.
Drove down the road.
This voice spoke to me, and this voice has spoken to me many times.
Today I will call it God, but for many, many years I resisted, even considering that that's what it could be.
But this voice said to me,"The bird's not dead." And I said,"Oh, the bird was clearly dead.
Flat on the road, it's dead." And I kept driving, and it just kept saying,"The bird is not dead." Until I got so frustrated, I put my brakes on, I backed up.
And I looked at the bird, and sure enough, it was alive.
It's lying there, flattened out on the ground, but looking up at me with its little black eye.
And it amazed me, because I thought, what was that intelligence that knew something that was contrary to what I believed?
So I took this bird off to the side of the road.
And because of that kind of mystical experience that I just had, I kind of felt this unexpected infinity towards this bird.
So I said, I'm going to say a prayer for this little bird, Blue Jay.
And as I was saying a prayer for this bird, and it was in its last moments, there were power lines above, and I figured out, okay, that's what happened.
It got electrocuted.
I just, my eyes started to tunnel onto this little bird's glossy black eye.
And the physical world disappeared.
It reminded me very much later when I saw the movie The Matrix, and they stood in that white room, and as Morpheus explained to Neo, all the truth of the universe, everything disappeared, and it was just white.
And this bird is kind of floating in this white void.
And I couldn't look away from it, and I couldn't blink.
My eyes were watering, but it was just this tunnel vision, and I knew I had to maintain my focus on this bird.
And in a moment, this...
This glossy, animated window into the soul of this bird just went flat.
And I knew in that moment that I'd actually seen the life force of this bird leave.
And it changed me in such a way to realize there really is something there that animates this bird.
But what was crazy in that moment, Jan, is that hundreds, if not thousands, of ants The moment that eye went flat, they charged in and enveloped this bird.
Not one of them approached this bird until its life force left.
And I just stood there and I looked at this and I was like amazed.
I'm like, God, that's fascinated by the brilliance of nature and how this orchestrated itself with these little ants that we just write off as these meaningless little insects.
But they were so aware of the life force of this bird and in some way weighted almost honorably.
Until it was time to approach it.
And so since then, I've been just pondering on this idea of like, what is this thing we call our soul?
Then COVID shows up and I thought, what is the push here?
Why are they pushing so hard to put something into the bloodstream of humans?
It felt like an experiment of some sort.
It's one of the reasons we acted so fast to release Plandemic One May 4th of 2020, because I knew I could fill it in my heart.
And I knew Anthony Fauci's history.
Bad things happen when bad people are in charge, so something bad is about to happen.
We've heard the fables as a storyteller, as somebody who studied mythologies for 35 years, the work of Joseph Campbell.
There's always some kind of underlying message about the life force of the hero, the soul of the hero.
And that's what the dragon was ultimately trying to capture.
Not just trying to kill the physical body, but it's the soul.
Anything that has to do with the supernatural or the devil or whatever, it's always about the human soul.
Then we have the fables of the devil and the crossroads of meeting the devil and signing away for fame and fortune and whatever it might be, giving a piece of your soul.
And after 30 some odd years...
Working in Hollywood, I saw a lot of people that I will say most definitely came in with a soul and left without one, incrementally giving away a little piece of themselves.
Not their physical body, they're all intact, but when we say that they're giving a piece of yourself away, what is it that you're really giving away?
The technocrats are trying so hard to bring us into this stage of transhumanism, and they've succeeded.
In outpacing the human mind already.
AI is far more intelligent than it will ever be.
But they cannot measure, duplicate, emulate in any way the human soul.
It's become a real problem.
And I believe more and more that the reason, the value of this thing we call soul, spirit, is that it in some way is our umbilical cord.
Our connection to divine intelligence.
All of the birds and everything outside this building right now, all the insects, the birds chirp in the morning.
Few people even really stop to even listen to that anymore.
Like, why do the birds chirp in the morning?
Do you know they actually trigger the plant life to open up and to pollinate and it triggers the insects to come in and spread that pollination?
There's a whole orchestration that happens every single day right outside our bedroom windows.
And so what is it that's informing the birds?
What informs the birds when they're in that murmuration stage of flying thousands moving on a dime as one body?
How is it?
It's not an audible cue that they're following.
They're tapped into something that us humans have been severed from that leaves us unable to flow with such grace with each other.
So instead we're bumping into each other and harming each other.
And so for me, that's kind of the core of what I'm interested in right now.
So you think this is the root of the division among people, I guess, but people would say, well, it's actually a lot simpler than that, right?
It's just politics.
Some people would like to have less government, and some people are perfectly happy to have a lot of government and want to put their trust there.
Why make this so complicated, Mickey?
Well, see, we wouldn't need government.
If we were connected with this divine intelligence that I'm talking about, it's only when we're severed from that then we suddenly need someone to lead us.
I would say the metaphor I like to use is once upon a time we all received our first PCs and they sat on our desk and they could only do whatever was programmed on the hard drive.
You might be able to put a little floppy in and give it a new word program or whatever.
But other than that, it was limited.
It was a closed circuit.
And then, I believe, A lot of our inventions, maybe all of our inventions, are us trying to figure out ourselves, our deeper purpose on how these bodies actually engage with this universe and this world that we live on and live in.
And so I believe we create something like the internet to understand what we're capable of.
So we create the internet and now that little useless paperweight on our desk becomes a supercomputer.
Because it doesn't matter what's on it.
It just has to receive now.
So it dials up.
In the beginning, you know, the dial up was slow and crazy.
We look back on it now and it would take forever just to get that online connection.
But I think that over time we perfected that now that our little phones and everything are just these supercomputers with infinite intelligence that we can pick up.
We're about to learn what we've been severed from.
If we go back in time and we look at the ancients and their ancestors and the indigenous cultures.
We always look upon them as realizing they were somehow connected to nature more than we were.
They could hear when the buffalo were coming or they listened to the ground and the water and the trees and they were in communication with nature.
