”Resist Not Evil” with Paul Chek

Summary

Former U.S. Army boxer turned holistic health educator Paul Chek joins Jeffrey Mishlove to explore what Jesus meant by "resist not evil" and "love your enemy." Drawing on a violent childhood, a career-ending knockout he delivered, and decades of spiritual practice, Chek argues that only wounded people wound others and that evil is best understood as "God asleep." Along the way he touches on Rudolf Steiner's adversarial forces Ahriman and Lucifer, a conversation with his own soul calling Earth "kindergarten through third grade for souls," his remote viewing and out-of-body experiences, and psychedelic plant medicine healing.

Key takeaways

• 1Chek says he began having out-of-body experiences at age 12 after joining Yogananda's Self-Realization Fellowship, and later became a remote viewer.
• 2He cites Steiner's teaching, via the book 'Anthroposophy A to Z' by Henk van Oort, that Ahriman (who insists only matter is real) and Lucifer (who insists only spirit is real) are opposing forces balanced by Christ consciousness.
• 3Chek claims his soul told him Earth is 'kindergarten through third grade for souls,' a dense material world where mass destruction is harder than on the astral plane, where you can create or destroy as fast as you think.
• 4He references the 'Law of One' Ra material and its phrase 'teach/learn, learn/teach.'
• 5He cites Seamus Bruner's book 'Controligarchs' as profiling major globalists as psychopathic, and claims modern education was shaped by Rockefeller to teach people what to think, not how to think.
• 6He describes a color-therapy and muscle-testing method in which Canberra Raiders rugby players tested weak when holding blue Swiss balls, which he linked to a rival team's blue jerseys.
• 7He reports conducting about 1,000 plant medicine healing ceremonies.
• 8He cites Isaiah 45:7, Jung's idea that the Self carries maximum polarity, Edward Edinger's definition of consciousness, and Rumi's line that 'God sleeps in the minerals.'

Transcript excerpt

be careful that you don't become just like what it is that you're trying to deal with, you know? If someone punches you in the face and you punch them back, or, you know, if you use the eye for an eye concept, what you get is two half-blind people, but no wisdom evolves. So for me, it's like, how do I encounter... something, yet still find it within my heart to take the higher road? You know, as a therapist of 42 years, I've worked with a lot of very broken families and broken children. I came from a very violent family. And I concluded from my own observations that only wounded people wound other people. Keep watching to learn more.
