Did you do the Assignment? Be single-minded, not double-minded. You’re free. Die to the illusion. If you’re forgiven, do you go on “sinning”?

Church Notes 4/27/25

Biblical Question: Why do you need a pope?

Last week’s Assignment: Be a single-minded person, and not a double-minded person.

New BQ: Can you make a conscious decision?

ANNOUNCEMENT: Men’s Forum, first Thur, 7pm, May 1, 2025, at BOND, L.A. https://rebuildingtheman.com/events/

1 Welcome … Ego death?

(0:00:00) Small talk… (0:02:30) Welcome

(0:03:00) Man asks about the Ego death…? same demon trying to leave? When it fully dies, you will know. Don’t think about when, or it takes too long, blah blah blah. Watch thoughts and feelings without thinking about them at all.

2 Did God make Adam beta?

(0:04:43) How you doing? Getting better? She’d get a call from, say, her mother, and it’d ruin her day. Now it’s nice! (0:05:39) Q: Did God make Adam beta? He did once he listened to her. He listened to the woman instead of his Father.

3 Don’t believe in God?

(0:07:05) Q (from one of the Jewish men) – Can someone who doesn’t believe in God have perfect peace, simply doing what you told them to? I struggle if I believe in God or not… And where does Jesus come into all this? If you struggle… Comes from God through Jesus, and through Jesse… (0:10:17) Q: I cry when I watch a movie… not talking to anyone… does it make me beta?

4 Assignment… Be single-minded, not double-minded

(0:10:58) Who did the assignment? Why didn’t you? I wasn’t here. (0:11:31) Vanessa didn’t check in fully, just watched a clip… Francisco, what assignment?

4 (0:12:26) To be single-minded, says a young lady, the daughter. Car accident situation, really awesome… (0:13:53) Asian guy, to be present, to be single-minded … Helped me sleep, being present.

(0:15:06) More people (0:16:51) Ryan: I sleep way better… (0:17:43) Being single-minded, being present, makes sense, not caught up in nonsense.

(0:18:10) Young woman from Women’s Forum: Wait and see. Less stressful. The week is easier if I’m not overthinking.

(0:18:49) I thought it was to have a wait-and-see attitude.

(0:19:29) To the mother: What is single-minded? I see it as good and evil … Like a wheel alignment…

4B Do you snap at your wife? … More on Assignment

(0:22:22) Do you snap at your wife? No. Is that true? It feels like the opposite, b/c of his anger, it feels like, when I’m the Devil. When I catch myself being the Devil, when I pissed him off… Will he admit it? No. Do you admit it? “I just tell her to go away.” If she sees it, why won’t you admit it.

Back to 4 (0:25:26) Raymond: I failed. (0:26:15) Omeed … Hake …

(0:29:00) A man: Working on yourself

4C You’re free but live like slaves; Woman scammed by man

(0:30:11) Anchor Baby (0:31:15) JLP: You’re free and live like slaves

(0:33:53) JLP: Story of a woman conned by a guy to kill her husband … He just wanted her money. She fell for it. Double-minded. She had everything! Devil convinced her she needed to start a business. Raising children not enough! (0:36:54) Vanessa: Like Jason horror movie.

(0:38:04) Franky, for the record, why not? Wrote it down, forgot, but did it.

4D A double-minded person is unstable. Looking crazy

(0:39:18) JLP: Do the opportunity but don’t think about the outcome. You cannot go wrong. Your marriage won’t work because you think about it. Never think about the outcome about anything. Do what’s in front of you. Be single-minded. The truth… God, is with you. And you cannot fail. A double-minded person is unstable

(0:40:59) Asian guy looking crazy last week — mad b/c his CPA invoice he misinterpreted. Anger stayed even after the problem was gone. (0:42:54) First mistake: “Why am I angry?” rather than “it” — see it, and do nothing about it. Stop calling it you. Feel it in your body but it’s not you. …

JLP: Living an illusion (0:44:52) Who will I be if I let go of my illusion? Living a false life! (0:45:22) Amazing, says man: We’re crazy people.

5 Why do you think about yourself all the time?

(0:45:42) Why do you think about yourself all the time? Everything is about you.

5 (0:46:11) I used to like it, says young lady. (0:46:44) JLP: All human beings … Why am I a loser? Why am I not like Jesse? I have anxiety. I’m too skinny, I’m too fat, I’m lonely… Ego. 100% (0:48:26) You’re supposed to live a life where it’s not about you. (0:48:52) Nothing has happened to you. (0:49:34) You’re cruel to yourself, treat yourself worse than anyone else treats you.

(0:50:02) Ryan: Raised to be competitive… comparing yourself, wasting time, never happy…

5B Trusting your enemy when you trust thoughts

(0:51:11) JLP: You’re trusting your enemy when you trust thoughts. Captain (or general) of an army at war, getting a spy to being secrets — trusting the lieutenant … but couldn’t beat the enemy! Finally the general started to ask… Lieutenant working with the enemy! (0:54:32) Relate? Trusting thoughts… If your husband get mad at you.

(0:55:45) JLP: Become the cause of your life, not the effect

5C Which will you obey: fear or freedom? Where was your mind? (1st gal on-stage)

(0:56:23) She won’t answer at first… wasn’t really paying attention. … Do you mind? Coming? (0:57:48) Which will you obey: Fear or freedom? (0:58:30) Where was your mind? (0:59:08) It was a nice day out… Just, stay present, she says. I just easily got distracted … (1:00:23) Why didn’t you catch it and bring it back? Nervous, my mind, stop listening to that. …

Look at the crowd, what do you see? Friendly faces? (1:03:16) What’s the woman have? (1:03:58) Relaxed? Thoughts starting to fade away. When you face the fear, it’ll fade away. … Isn’t this fun? Not really. But glad to get over fear.

(1:05:27) BQ: Why do we need a pope? He died. He was ticked.

(1:06:43) Would you let a man control you? She’s here with her bf… (1:07:37) Anything good about him?

(1:08:53) Is it true, she obeys? (1:09:36) What’s good about her? She has a good head, listens, can see nuances. I changed her mind about Trump and stuff. (1:10:08) What are you thinking about her overcoming.

(1:10:45) Another young lady steps on-stage. “Hi.” A little nervous. Odd. Introvert. Out of comfort zone. Thoughts, trying not to pay attention to them.

6 Ladies, never let a man push you around. Stop fighting.

6 (1:13:14) JLP: You gotta face the fears. It’s not real. (1:13:39) Ladies, never let a man push you around, control you. A man pretending to be a real man tries to control you. (1:14:41) JLP story: Woman is mad her husband won’t tell her what to do. … Don’t try to make relationships work! …

(1:17:40) Stop fighting. Lay your weapons down. Nothing to prove, no explanation needed. You don’t need a press conference! You won’t be thinking, “I’m the light.” (1:18:47) You were not created to fight. All these different causes: Change the heart, and you can influence the heart in other people by being the light. You’re not gonna influence with a picket sign.

6B Fear of traumatizing kids… Right thoughts change the world.

(1:19:46) Any Q? Lily – We don’t own this body, thoughts not ours … lots of demons in my head … (1:21:09) JLP: If you think the kids gonna be traumatized, you’ll traumatize them! … (She talks more) JLP: So as a man thinketh, so as he is. (1:22:18) The light influences… You don’t know the power you have in thoughts. There’s a right thought. The same power Christ has is in you.

6C Think you’re a sinner? You are free

(1:23:30) Anybody think you’re a sinner? Crazy. Came from church. (1:23:56) Why? Lily: Surrendering everything…

(1:24:46) Man: Think you’re a sinner … JLP: It’s the heart … Loving … Agreeing with the Demons. (Man continues.) (1:28:06) … “addict” … (1:29:11) Sending the lieutenant to betray you and bring back false info, knowing you’ll consult with him again! (1:30:29) You are free!

(1:30:45) JLP story: A friend who loves overloading himself … Dad told me to. Dad is dead!

(1:32:37) Stop listening to thoughts … Women will want you not because of what you have, but because you’re a real man. “I wanna obey him.” That ain’t the right kind of “obey.” Wake up so you can see.

(1:34:04) Man: People justify their bad actions. “Only God can judge me.”

7 Forgiven? Right/Wrong, They don’t know. Die from the illusion.

(1:37:27) Lily Q – If people know God will forgive them… but they live a dirty life, and others don’t…?

(1:38:34) Hake tries to answer…

(1:40:36) JLP: They don’t know they’re free. Hake tries to answer more.

(1:42:34) JLP/Lily: If she thought she was right for crying… (Is it true she’s lying when she’s crying? Jesus didn’t boo-hoo…) Have to go thru the ego death to get back to the Father…

(1:44:58) Man adds… People are possessed.

(1:45:43) Woman: The criminals are in hell living like that… (1:46:13) JLP: In order to live, you must die from this illusion. Stop identifying with anyone/anything. Only identify with the truth. The Truth works for you day and night.

7B Fear of quitting smoking?

(1:47:53) That Jewish man agrees facing fear: But don’t try to quit smoking? Isn’t that a fear that I’ll never stop?

(1:49:50) Raymond: Price of freedom, eternal vigilance

8 Jesse’s comments and feedback

(1:50:28) JLP: Take your mind completely off others… (1:50:56) What’s he saying? The wife speaks. Whatever he’s doing is not happening to you. What’s happening to you is what’s happening in your head.

(1:51:41) Second young lady: You put me on the spot … the man with her…

(1:52:59) JLP: It’s happening in you, in your head!

(1:53:19) Can I come back?

8B Opportunity?

(1:53:54) Question about opportunity … (1:55:35) It’ll lead to something else. It’ll work out. You gotta be not double-minded, men and women. Anyone who believes they’re a victim don’t know who they are — lost in their head and emotions.

(1:56:11) A boyfriend asks… What if opportunity … Things always work out … Don’t be double-minded… Just roll with it. (1:57:47) JLP: Every house I’ve gotten, I didn’t have the money to pay for it! The thinking gets in the way. God takes care of it. … He’s a truck driver

9 You are free. BQ’s: Pope, Conscious decision?

(1:59:00) Closing: You are free. Stay present. … You’ve never done anything wrong. You were influenced. … Man feedback… (2:00:36) People won’t go to work because of fear! … Stay with it, stay with it …

(2:01:03) BQ the pope…

(2:02:52) New BQ: Can you make a conscious decision?

(2:05:42) JLP: When you find yourself, no more thinking… Pray. Forgive.
