Hey, one more thing before yougo. What if the beliefs you left
behind are still running you?And what if guilt, obedience and
self denial aren't virtues butinherited scripts designed to keep
you small? What if there was anew way of thinking that could rewrite
your soul's code? In thisweek's episode of One With Me before
youe Go, I sit down withReginald Martin. He's a spiritual
(00:20):
architect, a metaphysician.We'll talk about that. And the creator
of cometophysics. Again, we'lltalk about that. It's a soul level
methodology that helpsseekers, leaders and creatives rewire
the subconscious architectureof their identity. Reginald didn't
just walk away fromChristianity. He stepped out of a
system that equated sufferingwith worthiness and obedience and
(00:44):
holiness. Through ancientkemetic sciences and modern psychological
insight, Reginald creates ablueprint for liberation. Not just
to deconstruction, butresurrection. His work reveals how
spiritual programming lingerslong after we've left the church,
shaping how we lead, love andcreate, and more importantly, how
we can rewrite it. This isn'tjust a conversation about belief.
(01:06):
It's a reckoning, aremembering, and a call to reclaim
your soul's original code. I'myour host, Michael Herst. Welcome
to One more thing before yougo. In this episode, together we
(01:28):
unpack how subconsciousreligious programming shapes our
identity and limits power. Whyguilt is often a leash, not a compass.
How come metaphysic physicscan rewire your inner operating system.
And the difference betweenobedience and alignment and how to
lead, create and live from thesoul, not just shame. Welcome to
(01:48):
the show.
Thank you, Michael. So glad tobe here. I'm excited.
Your life is. It's an amazingjourney you've taken in your life.
Oh, most definitely, mostdefinitely. It has been an amazing
journey. I've went through thenormal ups and downs and through
(02:08):
that, I guess I've justlearned to kind of surf the.
Waves, you know, I thinkthat's the best way to go. Life lessons
is the best educator, isn't it?
Absolutely, positively. And Ithink that that's one of the things
that the ancients wereteaching was really how do we navigate
life? Because for them we camehere for a reason, you know, we came
(02:30):
here by choice, you know, and,and they were giving us blueprints
oftentimes of how to navigatelife and that, that's the perspective
that I operate from with cometa.
Physics, which I can't. Imean, it's gonna be exciting to get
into that. But I do like tostart at the Beginning. Where'd you
grow up?
I actually grew up in Dallas,Texas. So that's where I live now.
(02:54):
And grew up in a single parenthome. Grew up in poverty, so, you
know, just dealing withmentality. So ended up having a lot
of questions because we, I wasin a staunch Christian family. I
mean, man, when my family gottogether for a gathering, you know,
(03:19):
it was almost like a, areligious war broke out. And these
were all Christians, so. Butthey had a. Had an idea that their
belief in Jesus was the rightbelief. And anybody else that didn't
kind of believe like they did,then you were suspect. Yeah, that
was kind of.
(03:40):
Yeah, yeah, I can relate tothat. I grew up also with a single
parent. I lost my father at avery early age. And so I respect
that. And you know, we. Mymother, I grew up Catholic and I
am not a practicing Catholic.I'm here to admit I haven't been
a practicing Catholic for areally long time because of the.
(04:02):
And this is my opinion, Isaid, you know, they were a little
hypocritical in certainaspects and they were too overreaching
in other aspects, and theydidn't live up to par in many aspects.
And my mother did the samething. She went. We had, in my whole
family, we had Catholics, wehad Southern Baptists, we had Baptists,
(04:24):
we had Nazarenes, we hadMormons, a wide variety. So that
little war you're talkingabout, been, been there, been there,
done that. Every time we had afamily gathering. What'd you want
to be when you grew up? Didyou go to college? University?
I ended up, well, I guess whenI was young, I wanted to be. What
(04:44):
did I want to be? I wanted tobe in the NBA. So that, that was
one of the things. So from avery young age, man, I played basketball
relentlessly. And thatactually paved my way to go to college
because I wouldn't have beenable to pay for it any other way.
I ended up getting abasketball scholarship. So that took
me to actually a religiouscollege, this college of all things.
(05:09):
But by that time I consideredmyself atheist. So it was an interesting
few years at that Christiancollege, but I wouldn't have traded
it for anything. So I wantedto be an NBA player. Got to play
against some of them inpractice and stuff like that. But
(05:31):
of course, I never made it tothe NBA.
Well, yes, you know, life putsus on our path, like sometimes what
we're supposed to be. And Ibelieve, I do believe in the universe
putting us where we need to be.
That makes two of us.
We may not be having thisconversation if, you know, if you
don't want the other directionor I may have seen you at a basketball
game. Yeah, one of the two.
(05:55):
Right, right.
You said you, you know, insome of the stuff that I have read
in your bio and everythingelse, you, you didn't just leave
Christianity, did you? Youleft kind of an identity script.
What was, kind of, what, whatwas the moment you realized that
something deeper was runningin you because you were an atheist,
even though you grew up in avery religious background. Can I
(06:19):
ask why? What turned you intoan atheist coming up from that background?
No, that's a very goodquestion. Because it really started
when I was 15 years old and Ican just, just remember the age that,
that I asked my mother aquestion. And so, and I had been
pondering this for a while,you know, these, these questions.
But the question that I askedmy mom was, I gave her a scenario.
(06:44):
I said, mom, I said, if aperson who's Jewish that does not
believe in Jesus as theirsavior, they do good all their life
and then they die and, and notas a believer, they're going to go
to hell. This is what I'mtaught. But a person who can be a
(07:04):
mass murderer can be on theirdeathbed and accept Jesus as their
savior at. On their deathbedand they can go to heaven. So you're
telling me that a person thatcan do good all their life and then
a person who can do bad alltheir life goes to heaven? I said,
(07:24):
something does not seem rightabout that for me. Is, is that true?
Would that person that'sJewish go to hell? And Michael, she
looked at me and she goes,yeah, there was no other explanation
after that. It was just, thatwas it. That was the truth, her truth,
and that was it. And that thatanswer left me with so many questions
(07:47):
and, and just not really evenwanting to accept something like
that, you know, that a, that agood person could go to hell. That,
that just I, that just, justseems so unfathomable to me, especially
for something simple.
So I'm sorry. Yeah, I saysomething as simple as not believing
in Jesus. Let me see.
(08:10):
Yeah. And, and for Christians,of course, you know, that is the
ultimate step is just thebelief in the faith that, you know,
Jesus is the savior, you know,but just the idea that a person,
it didn't matter how good aperson was, it was just, just had
(08:30):
to believe and accept something.
Yeah. I find that, I mean,this, again, this is just a personal
perspective of my own. And thefact that I'm Watching my mother
desperately trying to find ahome in a church, in some form of
a church or religion, becauseI grew up in a very dysfunctional
(08:50):
family. We grew up poor aswell, and it was very dysfunctional.
Both my parents werealcoholics. And when my mother got
a divorce, she wasexcommunicated from the Catholic
Church because she couldn't goto church, couldn't take communion,
all because she was divorcednow. And the. The us Kids, we'd go.
(09:11):
We could go to church, but weweren't allowed to take communion
either because our parents gotdivorced, which I. Which that's what
turned me a little away fromthat. It's like I thought you should.
You should reach out tosomebody if they're having issues
or problems or if they'realone now, you should help them.
You should help the family.And it didn't happen that way. So
(09:34):
I started questioning at aboutthat same time in regard to. And
I think you call it, you leftan identity script. The identity
of my mother was she. She wasa Catholic churchgoing woman. She
went religiously every week.She went to, you know, midnight mass.
She did everything,everything, everything she was supposed
(09:54):
to. But the minute shedivorced, then all of a sudden, you're
a sinner.
Right? None of it, none of theother stuff matters.
Yeah, none of the other stuffmattered. You know, she. She gave
money. Even though, I mean, mymother was. My mother was single
mother growing up in the 70s.She, she, you know, women in the
(10:16):
70s couldn't even have a.Their own checking account till 1974.
So, you know, you could onlybe a server or you could be a secretary,
or you were limited with whatyou can do. Struggling. But she would
still always give to thechurch. But they turned her back,
turned their back on her. So,you know, that that's, you know,
I think that we have somethingin common in the. In a way, because
(10:42):
it was a. It was a moment forme, like a moment for you. We realized
that, you know, somethingdeeper was kind of embedded in us.
Yeah. And, Michael, what I'veseen just through my practice is
that, you know, so many of usand, And I. I know that that's why
I, you know, have evenamassed, you know, a number of people
that have followed my YouTubechannel, you know, over a hundred
(11:04):
thousand people, as. Becauseour. Many of our stories are so similar,
you know.
Yeah.
So it's just. It's just yours,your story and my story is so common
that, you know, it'sridiculous that it's so common. You
know, my mother dealt with.Because of the belief of being a
(11:25):
born sinner and stuff likethat. You, you imagine having a child
out of wedlock, which was meat the age of 16.
Yeah.
Okay. You know, the idea that,you know, being sexual, being sinful,
being all of that, and you arecarrying your sin, you know, you
(11:47):
are, you, you can't hide fromwhat you've done. So, Michael, that,
that basically destroyed mymother mentally. She dealt with psychological
issues and have dealt withpsychological issues for her whole
life. And I think a big partof that was because how she was taught
(12:09):
to see herself as something isbroken and something is sensible
and something was wrong withher. So I've seen that, I've lived
that, you know, through her,you know, so, so a lot of those.
And a lot of people have dealtwith that same stuff. I, I know.
Do you, do you think thoseearly beliefs in the humility, the
(12:32):
like, the obedience to thechurch kind of a thing, and the suffering,
like what your mother had gonethrough, what my mother gone through,
things like that, do you thinkthat that shaped your sense of self,
who you are today?
Oh, absolutely, yeah. Itshaped just that. It shaped my sense
of self and how I looked atmyself because I didn't know any
(12:54):
other frame, understand, so,so I didn't, I didn't have. So the
idea that I was a born sinner,that I was a, you know, a wretch,
you know, and all of that,that was supposed to be said in a
way that humbles you, thatmakes you think that you're nothing
special, that you know thosetypes of things, but that impacts
you in so many other ways inso many areas of your life. So that,
(13:19):
that's how I grew up thinkingof myself and, and just interacting
with the world. So, and, and Iknow from, you know, when, when things
happen negatively in yourlife, the default programming was,
am I being punished? Yeah, youknow, that was, that was one of the
(13:40):
first thoughts. And of course,if we're being punished, then we
had to accept the punishmentbecause there's no way that we could
fight against God. And, and ofcourse, if we were being punished,
we were deserving of thatpunishment, you know, it wasn't to
be questioned. So. Yeah, soyou, all of that, all of that training
(14:01):
impacted me in a way that,that carried on for many years. And
quite honestly, there arestill layers that I bump into now
that I didn't even realize asyou, as you going on through life,
you know, so we don't just getover that stuff, you know, overnight.
(14:22):
I like how you call, you callit and refer to it as mental malware.
Mental malware? Yes, sir.
Yeah, I think. I thinkbecause, you know, it's same thing,
you know, again, I walked awayfrom that religion, the organized
religion, a long, long timeago, but I was about 16 years old,
17 years old. I'm veryspiritual. I do believe that we have
(14:43):
a higher power. I do believethat the universe. We're all connected.
You and I are connected. We'reall connected. We're all human beings.
We all have that uniquenesswith us. And I do believe from that
perspective. But I don'tbelieve in organized religion any
longer for that same reason. Ithink it is mental malware the first
(15:06):
time I've heard that. So Ismiled just a little when I read
menthol malware. I said, oh,yeah, that's the word I'm looking
for. Or the phrase. Do youthink that kind of mental malware,
how does that. How does thataffect our subconscious programming
(15:28):
to show up in everyday life? Ithink we kind of might have just
touched on it a little bit.But do you think that we are indoctrinated
from that for a reason?
Yeah, I think that it ends upimpacting us. And this is where I
have to really go into thecomedic belief system and really
(15:52):
what. One of the reasons why Igot involved with the comedic ideas
were at first, I was trying tofind out about Law of Attraction,
okay? And. And it. And reallytrying because having grown up in
church, anytime somebody.Anytime somebody teaches something,
(16:13):
my automatic default now is toquestion what they're teaching, because
I was told in church not to,you know, and that didn't go too
well for me. So when I heardthe secret, I basically said, hey,
let me find out if there'struth behind this, where it comes
from. To make a long storyshort, I ended up finding out about
(16:34):
the secret, where it wastaught and where it came from. But
it also taught me or helped meto uncover some stuff about Christianity
that I didn't realize was evendiscoverable. So a lot of the stuff
that we were taught aboutbeing a born sinner, stuff like that
was actually came from ancientcomedic or ancient Egyptian concepts
(16:59):
that Christianity distorted.Those distortions impact us mentally
and psychologically for life.And probably you grew up in it, grew
up young as a Catholic. I wasindoctrinated in it from birth as
a Protestant. And those of usthat are indoctrinated early spend
(17:24):
our entire lifetime gettingover that indoctrination, if we ever
try to get over it.
And I think to this day, Istill fall back into old routines
sometimes, especially if I'mhaving, I mean, I, I, I've been through
eight operations. I wentthrough a lot of physical therapy.
I spent four years in awheelchair, was told I'd never walk
(17:47):
again. I had a lot ofreflection back on that and went
back to the same methodologiesthat you spoke about with, you know,
what did I do wrong? I was acop. I was doing my job. I was arresting
a bad guy, taking a bad guyoff the street. Why does he get to
sit and sit in jail, you know,and watch TV and get his meals fixed
(18:09):
for him, everything. And I'msitting in a wheelchair. My kids
have to grow up with that. Mywife has to deal with that. I have
to deal with that. And I wasangry and resentful.
Yes, A little depressed.
And again, why me? Why didthis happen to me? And then I started
questioning whether or not Idid something wrong and I just, I
(18:30):
had to stop myself. Yeah, so,so I agree with you. It even, I mean,
where we're men of a certainage, but even, you know, years and
years and years later, decadeslater, sometimes we still fall back
into that because like yousaid, I think you hit it. It's kind
(18:50):
of embedded in us so deeply.
Yes. It is literally mentalmalware. And if you don't and if
you're not aware of it, youcan't even work to extract that malware
from your mental system.
Yeah. Do you think oursocietal systems have kind of brought
(19:12):
the implemented or notintimate, more like integrated faith
education, leadership and soto reinforce those limiting beliefs
and those scripts?
I think that they do. And Ithink that it on some level society,
we have a religious societybecause we feel like religion is
(19:39):
supposed to help us morallyfaithfully. So our whole society
is constructed with anunderpinning of these ideas, you
know, and a lot of people lookat them in a way that if those ideas
are gone, then society will bein chaos. Well, the ideas are around
(20:03):
and society is still in chaos.
That's fine.
So something doesn't, it justdoesn't what we're told and then
what reality is doesn't addup, you know, know, so, so that started,
started me to questioning justso much of, of this stuff, you know,
so, and I've always been likea, I guess a, an amateur psychologist.
(20:28):
So much so that I ended upgetting a degree in it in college.
But, but I've always liked toask why do people do what they do?
And when I, you know, startedto study religion and how that impacts
us us, you know, just As a.From an individual perspective and
from a societal perspective,even from. I looked at my culture
(20:50):
and how many of us are very,very religious, but our communities
are broken, you know, and. AndI attributed that to the idea that
we are broken or we're taughtthat we're broken. And from comedic.
From a comedic lens, theinside of us is going to be reflected
(21:15):
back to us as life. So lifebecomes the feedback. So your belief
system is reflected back asyour life. In a lot of ways, that
kind.
Of falls along the same lineof what you were talking about with
the secret in themanifestation. What we believe.
Thoughts become things.
Yeah. What we believe that webecome. And. And, you know, I wholeheartedly
(21:39):
believe that. It's aninteresting perspective. Can I touch
back on something that youmentioned earlier in regard to the
Egyptian talking about theidea of the we've been born sinners
came from the Egyptians. Canwe talk about that a minute?
(22:02):
Now, that idea didn't comefrom the Egyptians.
Didn't come from the Egyptians.
That was something thatChristianity distorted. Okay? So
the way that the Egyptianstaught and. And I, I switched between
comedic and Egyptian. Socometic is just the. The prehistoric
Egyptian societies that. Thatwere part of that area. But the ancient
(22:23):
cometic teachings was that wewere all. We're first of all, the
metaphysical world. The worldthat, as that souls come from is
the real world. Okay? So soulsproject into the physical. So we,
the souls project an aspect ofthemselves or ourselves into the
(22:46):
physical. Okay. That the. Thesoul is an aspect of the creator,
the light of the creator andthe will of the creator being projected
into the physical toexperience the physical. Okay? Christianity
changed that idea and saidthat when we were souls projected
(23:10):
into the physical, instead ofa projection, we failed because we
were punished. Okay? That'sthe idea of the. The angel that Lucifer
or Satan was the. The angelthat rebelled against God. But from
a comedic perspective, Satanwas actually simply the idea of us
(23:34):
falling into duality. Okay? SoSatan, which was the ancient Egyptian
idea of set, which was the.The letters ST became the idea of
opposition. Okay? Later thatword became Satan through the Hebrew
(23:55):
idea. And even the Hebrewidea, the word meant the original
meaning of Satan wasadversary, okay? Not evil, not the
devil or anything like that.So in that context, it had the same
meaning of the. As the ancientEgyptian idea of simple opposition.
Okay? So from a comedicperspective, we are all born divine.
(24:20):
We are the divine emanation ora fragment of the divine emanation
experience in life as acreator. So we're born divine, not
sinful. That's the comedicperspective on that.
What an interesting and uniqueperspective. I think that got lost
(24:41):
with time. And like you said,it was distorted to a point that
it's unrecognizable in realityfrom that. That's brilliant. You
just opened my eyes in mymind. I'm going to do a little more
research myself because Ithink I have found that a new path
(25:01):
to go down to kind of checkout. So from a cometic perspective,
what is cometophysics? And,like, how does it differ from traditional
metaphysical or spiritualteachings along that line?
The only difference is that itis through the comedic lens. Okay.
(25:23):
So what I had to do is I wasteaching what was called cometic
spirituality for a long time.But what I found was, is that there
is a. There's already apreconceived notion of what comedic
was. Okay. And. Which wasbasically teaching history, teaching
(25:45):
the historical aspects ofreally ancient African spirituality.
But that also made people.When I talked about comedic, it made
people assume a. A. Ahistorical perspective. Okay. But
I wanted to talk about thespiritual system, which was more
(26:09):
about metaphysics and the ideaof spirituality. Okay. So outside
of the context of history alot of times. So I coined the phrase
cometaphysics, which is theancient idea. The ka is the ancient
Egyptian idea of the soul.Okay. And then metaphysics, of course,
is the philosophy ofspirituality is what it is. So I.
(26:32):
I coined the phrasecometaphysics so I could reposition
myself away from historicalideas and teachings to more. Let's
talk about the. How this stuffimpacts us on a daily basis from
a spiritual and metaphysicalperspective. So that's what cometa
physics is. So it's the ideaof the. The Egyptian car, which was
(26:55):
their term for the soul. Andthen metaphysics.
You know, I. I think, youknow, I believe, obviously, I believe
we all have a soul, and Ithink that their soul lives on, you
know, after we depart thisworld and we come back again. Which
is what the Egyptians havealways believed, obviously.
Yes.
They always buried.
Always they.
They, you know, they buriedthem with everything so that they
(27:17):
knew they were coming back.And you had this, and you had this,
you had this with you when youcome back kind of thing. How does.
Do you think that. Based uponthat theory, that methodology, that
practice, do you think oursoul has a blueprint? I mean, from
what I've learned in myconversations over the last almost
(27:40):
six years now, I've had a lotof conversations with. We as an individual
have a blueprint that we cango back and kind of Check and look
and say, oh, I'm supposed todo this, I'm supposed to do that.
And, you know, this one. Thisone, I'm supposed to learn this.
You know, I'll come back untilI relearn it or, you know, figure
it out or whatever, and then Ican move on to the next level. Does
(28:04):
comedic science kind of followalong the same lines about.
Yes.
Souls blueprint?
Yes, yes. They. They actuallyare the ones who instituted a lot
of those ideas. So the idea ofyou. I don't know if you've heard
of the. The. The. What theycall the God Osiris and then in the
Greek. That's the Greek namefor it. And. And then the God Heru
(28:26):
or Horus. Okay, Are the twoGreek names? Well, this is actually
connected back to the idea ofJesus Christ. This is where this
idea came from. Jesus Christ.But in ancient comedic terms, the.
The. These were two differentfunctions of nature, okay. Which
(28:49):
they call netters. Okay. SoHorus, which was Heru in ancient
Egypt, and Asar in ancientEgypt, was. Was the. The idea of
the cross Christ. Okay? Butthese were functions, two separate
functions that Christianityfused together to make the idea of
(29:12):
Jesus Christ. What JesusChrist was, was actually a Gnostic
personification of the idea ofthe Revealer, okay. Which is basically
the. Think of the concept ofus having, aha. Moments. Okay? The
light bulb comes on, okay? Theidea that. That when we go through
(29:36):
and have our aha. Moments,then we become enlightened, and it
ends up, on some level,bringing peace within our life, peace
and reconciliation. That's theidea of the Christ, the Krst. Okay?
These concepts, Michael, are apart of all spiritual systems. It
(30:00):
is only Christianity that hasbasically historicized these ideas
where in reality, they wereancient philosophical concepts personified.
You know, I find itinteresting that, you know, I have
Native American friends andfamily, and, you know, they kind
(30:21):
of follow along what you speakabout with. With that connection
with the universe in that wayand mother nature and the earth and
what our soul is supposed todo and. And how we interact with.
With each other in regard toall of that. In particular, not necessarily
in a. A, a, a specificreligious aspect. This is. You got
(30:44):
to believe this. You can'tbelieve that. You got to do this.
You can't do that. Theybelieve in harmony with nature. They
believe in harmony with oursoul. And so that's. I find that
interesting because you gofrom ancient Egypt, for example,
and then you see NativeAmericans who they never met, at
least that we know of.
(31:06):
Right, right.
I should put that out there,to put that out there.
There are some. You can goback and they might have met, so
a little overlapping there.Yes, but, yeah, but, but I, I get
what you're saying, andyou're, you're the connection that
you're making as far as thesimilarities really, when you start
looking at spiritual systemsaround the world, the outlier is
(31:28):
Christianity.
Yeah, yeah, I agree with that.Same thing with Buddhist, with Zen,
everything, all the, all thesephilosophies that go along this same
line about the spirituality,how we're connected, how our souls
connect to the universe in onesource and live on. I have found,
(31:49):
at least in my experiences aswell, I have found that the only,
again, outlier, like you said,is the religious aspect, the organized
religious aspect. That said,the dogma. Yes, dogma, yes. You know,
you, you live once, you eitherdie, you go to heaven, you go to
hell, or you go to purgatory.In Catholic, you had purgatory, so
(32:13):
if you did something reallybad, you were in purgatory forever.
It means your soul wanderedaround forever, no place to go. So,
yeah, I mean, the rest of myday, I know what I'm doing for the
rest of my day.
Well, let me, let me give you,let me give you some and, and, and
(32:36):
your audience some ideas thatthey can go and research because
what will happen isinvariably, and this is what I've,
you know, found and researchedfor, you know, over 20 years, Michael,
to confirm a lot of theseideas. So I'm just not like, making
them up. I can back them up.Okay, but look up the idea of Platonic
(32:59):
theophysy, okay? And this iswhy I say Platonic theophysy, because
Plato actually distilled a lotof the ancient Egyptian teachings
into what became histheophysy. But you got to understand
too, that around theMediterranean back in the 3rd and
4th centuries BCE they wereall teaching these ideas all around
(33:27):
the Mediterranean, okay? So itwasn't just the Greeks, you know,
it wasn't just the Egyptiansthat were, that were talking about
these ideas. It was all aroundtyranny that, that spread from, from
the Mediterranean into the,the Eastern religions and our Eastern
spiritual systems. But they,but the Platonic. The opposite. When
(33:51):
you understand it, then you'llstart to understand actually what
Christianity changed. Okay?Because again, the, the idea from,
from a kemetic perspective,the idea that we call Jesus actually
came from the kemetic idea ofye sai and the Y and I are interchangeable
(34:15):
in ancient times. Yay, USA isthe primordial light fragmenting
and in and dispersing intophysicality. Okay. So that primordial
light is in all of us. Thatword ye, USA y or I u s A became
(34:40):
Yeshua in Hebrew. Okay. Andthe sa was sh is simply a little
different nuance about thefire. Okay. Yeshua or ye, USA in
Greek became yes, yes, I U SE, O U S. Yes. Okay. So that name,
(35:11):
you can track the name changesthrough languages, but once you get
to see what the names actuallymeant philosophically, then you'll
see that it changed from aphilosophy to a person with Christianity.
And what I like to say is thatwhat was new in Christianity was
(35:32):
not true, and what was truewas not new. So you can trace all
of this back thousands ofyears, and you can see where Platonic
theophysy is talked about inmany different spiritual systems.
(35:55):
Many different spiritualsystems have saviors, but they're
not literal.
It's not literal. That'sinteresting. Yeah. I'm going to.
Thank you, Reginald. I'm downanother. I'm down another rabbit
hole.
It's fascinating.
I'm telling you it is. Yes.It's always fascinating me. And obviously
we're all seeking. We are all,hopefully, we are all always seeking
(36:19):
information, knowledge, anddesire to get a deeper understanding
of. Of number one, why we'rehere, who we are, why we're here,
what we're here for, and soforth. Do you think, help decoding.
Do you think kemetic sciencehelps us to access our soul's original
blueprint, to allow us tounderstand from that perspective
(36:40):
of who we are and why we're here?
Absolutely. It liberates us.You know, and this is another thing
that I'd like to say is a lotof times Christians think I'm attacking
Christianity, but I'm not.What I'm doing is helping people
get beyond. Especially peoplethat have. Have deconstructed, helping
them get beyond the guilt, theshame for even questioning. Okay.
(37:04):
But also giving them a way toreconstruct. Because for me, having
been an atheist for a while, Ideconstructed, but I stayed in that
limbo state for almost 20years, you know, because I didn't
know anything else. Butcomedic science helped me to reconstruct
in a way that it actuallyempowered me to see myself as a soul
(37:28):
having a human experience andto understand that we are here to
learn forever, not burn forever.
Okay, that's a nice.
So. So it will. Actually the.What I like to say is the truth is
more empowering than the liethat we were taught through religion
and religions. The dogma is a lie.
(37:51):
Yeah, that resonates with me alot. I like those statements. Speaking
of that you guide peoplethrough identity resurrection, I
think that identityresurrection is a unique way of putting.
I almost say reborn, but for us.
(38:11):
To realize, yeah, you'respeaking the ancient language. That's
what this stuff meant.
Yeah. So it. I think that.What is that? What does that process
look like when we put it intopractice? I mean, I think we all.
It's interesting. I get soexcited. I'm going to start talking
really fast, and then there'sso many questions that are still,
(38:34):
like, running around in myhead. It's interesting the way this
all pieces together, because Ithink that as I always believe this
and I practice this, I knowthat there is something bigger out
there for us. I know thatthere is more opportunity for us
as a human being, as anindividual, as a spiritual being.
(38:55):
So in helping somebody throughthis identity resurrection, this
rebirth kind of purpose, whatdoes that process look like for if
somebody wanted to go through it?
Yeah. And. And part of that islike. Like, you know, I teach in
my class. My classes. My. Mycontent on Substack is. Is how I
(39:19):
help people through that. Butwhat that looks like is, is that
first you have to literallyget rid of that frame that you are
getting given of being a bornsinner. Okay. And a lot of people
can logically say, oh, that,you know, that doesn't make sense.
But when you'redeconstructing, you need to be able
to reconstruct too. Okay. Sothe reconstructing part is to go
(39:44):
back to the ancient teachings,the ancient comedic teachings, which
was the source of these ideas.And I can show you through the classes,
courses, articles and stuffthat. The content that I do, I can
literally show you what itmeant before it was distorted. And
in that way, you're able tosay, okay, yeah, that doesn't even
(40:04):
make sense. This makes moresense. And it gives you a new frame
to think inside. Okay. Tothink about your life in a new context.
So instead of being a bornsinner, ancient comedic teachings
are, you are born divine. Andlet me tell you, explain this philosophically,
because it actually makes moresense than what we were taught as
(40:28):
Christians. So Christianityteaches us that. That the Creator
created the world and thencreated mankind and humankind. Okay?
And we are his creation to doas. As the Creator sees fit. You
know, whatever. Okay? We needto form a relationship with the Creator.
(40:49):
Creator. Because. Informalrelationship of something that is
external to us. Okay. We needto believe that the Creator came
down as this one particularspecial being. And Incarnated to,
you know, save us from this.This original sin. But the ancient
comedic teachings are. Is thatthere is only one source of all creation
(41:15):
in the entire universe,whether. Whether that be physical,
metaphysical, differentplanets, different solar systems,
whatever is. There is onecreator and one source. So the analogy
that I like to use to explainthe ancient comedic concept is if
you think of the creator as anocean of consciousness, okay, everything
(41:37):
is. Is in that ocean andimbued with that consciousness, that.
That. That life, that fire,everything that includes us. So we
can consider ourselves dropsin that ocean, okay? But we are also
oceans in the drop, or theocean is also in the drop, okay?
(42:00):
So we are one and the same.The drops are not the same magnitude
as the ocean, but we are thesame stuff. So in that sense, it's
a new frame to think ofyourself as being born divine. You
are the creator, you are thesource being. Living as a human for
(42:22):
a short time. That's a wholenew frame to think about yourself
in. Okay? That's part ofreconstructing, is to first change
that old belief that somethingis wrong with you, that you're broken,
and that you need saving.Saving to the new idea that you are
(42:43):
born divine and your life isabout recognizing and developing
that divinity within you. It'sabout developing yourself as that
spark and learning the powerthat you have to create your life
on your terms. That's reconstruction.
Yeah. Yeah, I love that. I.I've never agreed with the. The concept
(43:05):
that we are born with as acenter. My wife's grandfather was
a preacher, and he. He. Hiswhole life, he and his wife both
traveled everywhere, all overthe world. And. Because that was
their calling, and I respectthat. But he used to always. We send
(43:25):
this stuff to the kids, ourkids. I have two daughters. We have
two daughters. That was just alittle slip. Sorry, Diane. We have
two daughters. And the. Hewould send these things all the time.
And, you know, he'd send a.Send them like a birthday gift, and
it'd be a little check, littlesomething. And then he'd put in this
(43:48):
stuff in there about, you'reborn a sinner, you're a sinner, you're
a sinner. And I finally had tohave a conversation with him where
I said, please don't do thatanymore because I'm just throwing
that stuff away. And I'mthrowing it away because I cannot
believe. And I do not believethat we are born as a sinner, that
you have not committed anysins yet. You were just born. You
don't know what sin Is youdon't know what's right, what's wrong,
(44:10):
what to do here, what to dothere. You don't know what that is.
So you can't be born a sinner.So please stop doing that. So it
took a little agree with thattook several conversations. He finally
stopped sending the materialbecause I said, I'm just throwing
it away. He said, we'll giveto somebody else. I said, I'm not
going to give to somebody elsebecause I don't believe in what you're
doing with regards to this.These are children. When a baby's
(44:32):
born and you look that baby inthe eye, I'm looking down like I'm
looking at the baby. You lookdown at that baby and you see that
joy and the light and the lifein that child. There is no way that
that child is a sinner. Thatchild is a gift. You know, it. It
(44:53):
just irritates me, Michael,when you.
Start to think about it andanalyze it, it makes absolutely no
sense logically other than to.But because we're told to believe.
Yeah, we have. We accepted it.
Yep. Yep. That indoctrination,you know, we can call it. We'll just
(45:13):
call it like it is. It's likean indoctrination.
It's mental malware.
It is. I'm going to use that.I'm sorry, I'm going to have to borrow
that from you because you goright ahead. I love that analogy.
How can we begin to reprogramour guilt, our shame in the root
of all that if we wereindoctrinated? That malware is in
(45:34):
our head. Do you have any tipsthat we, as an individual can. Can
maybe.
Yeah. And it starts with.Absolutely. And it starts with breaking
that old frame. Just. Justlike I was discussing about the idea
of being. You being born aborn sinner or born divine. Really,
(45:54):
which one makes more sense,you know, so as soon as you break
that frame and. And yourelease those beliefs, then the.
All the tentacles that. Thatwere streaming from that belief of
being a born sinner isshattered. You just need somewhere
else to go then. Okay. Andthen you can go to. And. And once
(46:18):
you start to research theseideas and you recognize that there
is only one source and thatyou are from that source is easy
to understand and accept thatyou are born divine.
Yes.
So the difference betweenChristianity or. And any. Really
any. I'll have to speak toChristianity because that's what
(46:40):
I know, right? The differencebetween Christianity and spirituality,
the difference betweenreligion and spirituality is the
idea. Religion says that. ThatGod is Something outside of us that
we must form a relationshipwith. It's external, okay? It's not
even a part of us. It's. It'san external thing that we have to
(47:03):
get its blessings. We have toget everything okayed. You know,
we. We have to hopefully dothe right thing to where God will
accept us. Okay? And one ofthose things, of course, God is unconditionally
loving, except for thecondition that you got to accept
(47:25):
Jesus. If you don't acceptthat condition, then the unconditional
is not acceptable.
I have to laugh. That's all wecan do is laugh. Because it's interesting.
It is. You go back to God isloving. God is all loving. Unless
(47:52):
you do this or you don't dothis or you do this or you don't
do this. And I'm pointing tothe do's and the don'ts for anybody.
And to me it's like, okay,well you can be all loving or you
can be. You can't be bothered.Number one. I think that I have always
(48:13):
believed, and I've come tobelieve in the fact that we are all
from one source. And I dobelieve that there is a power there.
I do believe that there's aGod there. I do believe that we're
all from the same source.That's why I believe we're all connected.
We are all connected. We'reall one big family. There's a lot
of sibling rivalry and.
(48:37):
A lot of it is caused becausewe. Many people want to believe that
they have the exclusive beingthe chosen people or whatever. You
know, I mean, come on.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
And that's, that's just.Again, it becomes. When you go back
to the ancient concepts, theidea that we are all one, it just,
it makes so much more sense,you know, and then even the idea
(49:00):
of a chosen people from. Froman. And. And this is something I
actually wrote about on mysubstack blog here last week about
the idea of the chosen people.And really the chosen people is a
self choice of following theuniversal laws. And which is one
of those is understanding thatyou are connected to everything and
(49:23):
that is not something outside of.
You includes the earth wherewe live, Mother Nature.
Yeah, absolutely. Earth isalive, you know, so. Absolutely so.
And, and I, I even go toMichael, this, this is not the only
place that there is life. TheEarth there has. We got. We have
(49:46):
trillions of stars. What arethe odds that we are the only life
in the entire universe?
Yeah. Arrogance would have youbelieve otherwise. Arrogance and
ignorance.
Arrogance and ignorance and Ilike to say a lot of times that Christians
can be arrogant in their ignorance.
(50:08):
Absolutely, absolutely. Andwe're not bashing Christians. If
that's what you feel andthat's what you want and that's fine,
I respect that. But I think weall have the opportunity to open
our eyes and kind of open ourhearts, our minds and our souls.
The whole idea as we as humanbeings is to connect our mind, our
(50:29):
body and our soul to live avalued life and to move that life
forward in a positive way andfor those around us in the same form.
So in doing so, the best wayto do that is to seek the knowledge,
gain the knowledge and graspthe knowledge that allows us to connect
our mind, our body and oursoul, and how we connect to the universe.
(50:49):
Universe, and then put thatforward in our own lives, in those
people around us.
So, and I, I think theultimate deal with all of that, Michael,
is that how do we want to liveour life? You know, how do we want
to express who we are throughthis life? You know, and, and, and
one of the ways that theancient Egyptians taught that was
(51:11):
you live life through yourjoy. You know, you, you let joy be
the guide for you, reallyfinding your purpose, connecting
to your, your, your soul'spurpose. When you, when you act through
joy, which is the samevibration, because the, I don't see
(51:34):
the Creator as a, as a being.Okay. The ancient Egyptians didn't
see it as a being. It is afield, a form force that all of us
can interact with to createthe life that we desire. It's an
energy. Yeah. And, and usingthat from an energetic perspective,
that's really how you end upintegrating mind, body and soul.
(51:58):
And when you understand thatyou live life from your joy, then
you won't accept ideas ofsacrifice, of being a born sinner,
of being all this negativitythat ends up being vibrational, operationally
antithetical to living lifethrough love and peace and joy.
I agree. Well said. Profound.Well said. Do you think there's an
(52:20):
in between space that weshould be aware of?
We go through it every nightwhen we dream. We literally. You're
literally more aware andconscious when you are asleep and
you go into that in betweenstate. And you commiserate with people,
with your past, your lovedones, past lives. You commiserate
(52:44):
with all of that when you'resleeping. That's why dreams can seem
so real.
Real, yeah. That's aninteresting way. I hadn't thought
about the dream state beingthe in between it really. And to
be honest, when you thinkabout the in between. And again,
(53:04):
this is just remnants of stuffstill embedded in my head which I
know are false, but it remindsme of like purgatory. That's what,
that's what the Catholics putit. You were in purgatory. That's
kind of in between. You're notin heaven, you're not in hell, you're
in purgatory. You wanderaround aimlessly for eternity, not
(53:25):
knowing where to go, what todo, you know, what direction.
They distorted so many ofthese teachings and a lot of it,
they just, they've accumulatedthe distortions over centuries. So
they've had centuries to put alot of the stuff together, but that
was not part of the originalteachings. From the ancient Ketic
perspective, there arebasically three levels. Okay? So
(53:48):
there is what, what we callthe heavens. Then there is the, the
middle, the middle area whichthey call the Duat. And then there
is physical earth or thephysical plane. But there are all
different vibrationalconstructs that we can experience
at any time. Okay, but theidea of, of you going to hell for
(54:10):
eternity and stuff like that,they had no concepts like that. As
a matter of fact, the idea ofthe Lake of Fire was actually where
souls are born. Born. In otherwords, the Lake of Fire is the Creator,
the will and, and, and, and,and the will of the Creator was imaged
(54:35):
or use of the, the light. Andfire was a metaphor for that will
of the CR. Creator thatfragments into reality and into the
universe. But the Lake of Firewas the birthplace of souls, not
the end place. So again, it'sa different shift. They literally
(54:58):
flipped so many of these ideasto make it something negative and
controlling when it wasn'tsupposed to be that way.
I think that we have anopportunity as an individual, as
a human being, as a soul tohave a deeper reflection in regard
(55:19):
to why, again I said itearlier, why we're here, what our
purpose is, how we canintegrate and how we can improve
ourselves. And I think thatyou, you present that in. Let's talk
about how somebody canconnect. You connect to. Let me try
that again in English. Let'stalk about how somebody can connect
(55:40):
with, with you and learn moreabout Cometa physics and how they
can improve themselves oropen, open that up.
Yeah. So the, the place now tothe simplest places. Just go to my
sub stack and that's anewsletter that I do that I write
(56:01):
and teach on a lot of theseconcepts. So I, I have articles just
about every, every other day,just things that I'm teaching these
ideas. Butreginaldmartin.substack.com and then
through that. That's kind oflike a portal for everything that
I do and. But I also have aYouTube channel. I don't do a lot
(56:23):
of new content on YouTube, butI have a repository of over a thousand
videos that, that I've doneover the years on YouTube that people
still go to. And so. So thoseare a couple of places. But substack
reginaldmartin.substack.comthat's like the portal. And then
(56:45):
you can go from there and Ican send you in a lot of different
directions just depending onwhat your interest might be. But
you have an interest inlearning about Platonic theophysy
and all that. I'm writingarticles and stuff about that. So
I'm always teaching and it'sjust something I love to do.
And you have classes on thereas well, correct?
I have courses that. Yeah.That you can connect to through.
(57:09):
Through my substack. So justthrough the newsletter you get an
email. So I have differentresources that you can go to our
classes. I've actually justrecently I created an AI that has.
That I've trained oneverything that I know and teach
over the years. All myresearch and other people's research
(57:29):
from a metaphysicalperspective. And they can actually
tap into that, learn, they canuse it to learn, they can use it
to create content, all stuff.So. And that's at Solpreneur AI.
Okay, I'll make sure that'sall in the show notes. Everybody
has an easy way to just clickand go. And that'll help hopefully
(57:50):
connect people to you. This isone more thing before you go. Do
you have any words of wisdomthat you can share with everybody?
I would say the. The one thingis, is to learn how to be your own
standard for your life. And Ilike to say live life on your terms
without guilt or shame. And ina lot of ways we were taught that
(58:13):
that was selfish to do. Butwhen you live life through your joy,
then you can spread joy andthat level of consciousness into
the universe. Other people canconnect with it as well. Live life
on your terms. Live it. Liveit through joy.
Brilliant, brilliant, profoundwords of wisdom. I think that we
all should all heed those.Reginald, thank you very much for
(58:36):
being on the program. Thankyou very much for sharing your wisdom,
your experience and yourjourney. I greatly appreciate it.
I hope that we've touched inpeople's lives.
Thank you for having me here,Michael. I really appreciate it.
Reginald Martin reminds usthat freedom doesn't begin with beliefs,
it begins with awareness thatguilt isn't a guide as a ghost, and
that our power isn't outsideof us. It's buried beneath the scripts
(58:59):
we were handed. Cometophysicsisn't just a framework, it's a soul
level resurrection, a returnto the truth we've always known,
but we're taught to forget.Because sometimes the most sacred
awareness awakening beginswith just one more thing before you
go so that's a wrap fortoday's episode. I hope you found
it inspirational,motivational, and a new perspective
