Some Q’s & A’s
Here are some questions and answers on some topics that I think some people have been wondering about…
- Q: Where was I born?
- A: I’m not sure where on Earth I was born, but it was probably in San Diego, California. Hopefully, God will make this clear to me eventually.
- Q: Did my mom and dad do what moms and dads usually do to have me?
- A: Nope! And I doubt they’ve ever even met one another.
- Q: Am I some sort of laboratory-created person?
- A: Nope!
- Q: Do I know that I am not eating cows, pigs, goats, cats, chickens, etc?
- A: Yep!
- Q: Do I have any parasites?
- A: Nope!
- Q: How long has Jesus been in the Small Place?
- A: I don’t know for sure, but since about 2015–2018, I think.
- Q: Does the Small Place have any other name?
- A: Not that I know of.
- Q: Have I ever been to the Small Place?
- A: Never in full physical form, but I have been there in part several times and I was able to glimpse it.
- Q: What is it like in the Small Place?
- A: It is very much like “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll, if it were a sci-fi/fantasy novel.
- Q: Have I ever been to the Big Place?
- A: Nope! I understand it is very futuristic compared to Earth, though.
- Q: How many Peace-Guys are there?
- A: Seven on Earth; gazillions back home in the Big Place.
- Q: Are Peace-Guys cockroaches or ants?
- A: Nope!
- Q: Are we just barely scratching at the tip of the iceberg of amazing and good things to come?
- A: Yes!
God bless everyone!
Big questions – Big answers – 2
How can we be certain that God is the supreme, most high being? How can we (or even God) be sure that there is none greater?
Years ago, when I was agnostic, I assumed that if God were real, then of course there is not anyone or anything higher. I suspect most others have had a similar experience. However, I know that there are some people who have thought much, much more deeply than most into many topics relating to God, and they need answers with evidence to questions most of us have never even imagined. Those answers, with evidence, are coming!
Again, I do not believe what God taught me on this topic is his complete answer to this question. I’m sure there will be much more on this topic later.
Putting it as concisely as I’m able, here it is. God has done many things that would force an equal or greater being (if there were any) to intervene and reveal themselves. In many of those situations, they would have to intervene even if they knew exactly what God was doing and why he was doing it.
I am going to use the business owner analogy again, as it makes it easier for me to write about this.
If you were a business owner with need to demonstrate that you are the supreme authority of the business, you might try doing a very, very bad job of setting up and running that business—such a bad job that if there were some higher authority, they would definitely have to intervene.
You could demonstrate it in a way that might appear to be laziness or disinterest by not doing any work at all for a very, very long time. For example, before the business is even set up and ready to run, during a time when a higher authority (if there were one) would expect you to be very proactive and busy, you could spend your time doing nothing or doing things that are very contrary to what a higher authority (if there were one) would want. If there were any higher authority that wanted the business up and running, they would have to intervene.
In the past, after I became a believer, but before I knew God as well as I do now, I would often get a big creepy feeling when considering subjects such as this one. I remember how unpleasant that was, so I will share this truth now for the benefit of those who may be feeling such after reading this article. God is the supreme and most high authority over all. God is sovereign. There is not anyone or anything equal to or greater than God. God is good! God is great! There is no other like God. I know this absolutely!
God bless everyone!
Big questions – Big answers
God knows there are some big questions that need answering, and he is going to answer them. Of course, I don’t know all the questions, but I do know some of them. God even shared some answers with me over the years. What I feel when I think about those answers is that God is good! God is amazing!
Answers to the following questions are coming. One is coming in the Playback. One will come later than that. One will come in my next post.
Here are just a few questions that God is going to answer:.
- 1.) How can we be certain that God is the supreme, most high being? How can we (or even God) be sure that there is none greater?
- 2.) How can we be certain that we (including God) are not the anatomy or part of the anatomy of a larger being? For example, how can we be sure that we and the universe around us are not the central nervous system of some greater being?
- 3.) What is the origin of God?
In my next post, I will be sharing what God taught me about the answer to that first question. I don’t believe that what God taught me is the complete answer, but it is a significant part of it.
If you are interested in trying to figure out in advance what that answer might be, perhaps consider this: If you owned a business and wanted to show others that you are the supreme, most high authority of it, but you could not show documentation to prove it, how would you do it?
The second question is likely going to be answered after the Playback has completed. I don’t know all that God has to offer us on this topic, but I do know that there are at least two people who have hugely significant parts of this answer.
As for the third question, the answer will be in the Playback. Please do not be afraid of the answer. Years ago, I was very frightened of this one. I worried that if I were to ever learn this answer, I would find that it was something weird, bad, or not worthy of God. I assure you, it is not any of those things. The answer is beautiful, perfect, and profoundly spiritual. God wants to share this and much more with all of us. God wants us to know him very well.
God bless you all!
Zee & Zim — G. & Jim
Many years ago, my dad wrote a book. I don’t know its title, and I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been published (not yet anyhow). I haven’t read it (yet!). However, I do know that it is the story of a pair of characters named Zee and Zim. Throughout the book, Zee regales Zim with many, many stories. And finally, later in the book, when Zee has finished with the stories, Zim sets out to share the stories with other people.
I find the names of the characters interesting. First off, “Jim”, which is phonetically similar to “Zim” is a pretty common nickname for a person named “James”. I also find the names of the characters interesting because, back in 2011, when I was a new believer (in God), I often referred to God by the nickname “G.”, which bears phonetic similarity to “Zee”. I don’t call him that anymore, but those of you that listen in on the Playback later will hear that I did refer to him as such quite a bit for about 3–6 months (in my best estimate). Side note: I was doing this long before I ever became aware of the social trend of people calling each other “G.” as an abbreviated term for “Gangster”.
I also find the plot of the Zee and Zim story interesting because this is what God did with me. He spent several years sharing many stories with me and fragments of many others. At this point, I’m just barely getting started talking a little about those stories, but I fully expect that soon I will become very occupied and stay so for years to come, sharing those stories and story fragments.
This is all I have on this topic for now. Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to read the book soon! I have no idea yet if there may be additional interesting content within the story.
God bless everyone!

Have you ever had a profound thought, an astonishing realization, or heard beautiful music and then felt chills? If so, what you felt was your soul moving—vibrating, to be more specific.
🎵 “Listen for the Playback” 2 🎵
Here is another small sampling of questions that will be answered later.
When the details can and do start to flow, it is going to be like a torrential downpour of information. It truly is going to be amazing! Hang in there. God doesn’t have any bad news for anyone about anything!
- How is it that identical twins sometimes sense things about one another, even when they are separated by vastly long distances?
- Why do we dream? Why do we often forget our dreams so quickly after waking up?
- How exactly does astral projection work?
- Does God decide all things? Do we have free will? (Hint: Yes and yes.)
- What is the significance of the number 929? (this is not quite a hint but the artist Halsey who was born on 9/29 at 9:29 AM, is going to love this!)
- How exactly does hypnosis work?
- Did Jesus really choose to be crucified—to die for you and for me? Is it true that Jesus could have called upon 10,000 angels to save him from being crucified? (Hint: Yes and yes.) Will this be proven absolutely, with no room left for doubt? (Hint: Yes!)
- What exactly is a soul? What exactly does a soul do?
- How did Michael Dell (Dell Computer Corporation) convince his parents to let him drop out of college and have up to one year to grow his computer business into something big?
- Where are Peace-Guys from? How did they get here? (Hint: They are from the Big Place, and they came here in a non-technological way. And yes, they are fully here and are not projecting a partial presence, remotely viewing, or any other similar thing.)
God bless all of you!
God is good!
God is not a mathematician.
God is not an engineer.
God is not a scientist.
God is the Creator.
God creates without tools and without design.
God is good!
The Fan
I know some of you are looking for evidence of God’s existence. With so much oddity going on all around us right now, I imagine it is easy to overlook considering the past as well.
I recommend searching your past experiences as well as your current experiences. You may find that some old memories will now make more sense if while you reconsider them, you also think about whether or not God may have played a direct role in those experiences.
I have a few stories of my own that would be very on-topic for this and I would love to share them with you now, but without you first knowing more about my unique circumstances, the stories wouldn’t make much sense. So what I’m going to do is share the story of an experience someone else had a long time ago.
I think he will recognize the story, but just in case he would otherwise wonder if I could be talking about someone else, I’ll say this about him to help. His first name starts with “K” and many years ago, he would often sit on a big rock next to a major thoroughfare near his family’s home, just watching the traffic pass by.
It happened when he was young; middle school or high school age. He was lying in bed trying to sleep when he had a seemingly random thought about an electric fan in his bedroom. It had been running day and night, nonstop for years and he thought to himself, “someday, that fan is going to stop”. A moment later, that fan, which had been running for years, stopped. At the time, it seemed to be an almost-too-amazing coincidence, but he attributed it to just being mere chance and continued to do so for many years to come.
I don’t know how he feels about that event these days, but I can’t help but think that if he is still attributing it to mere chance, that he may feel differently about it upon reconsideration if in addition to whatever he thought about it previously, he also considers whether or not God may have been giving him something to reflect back upon later.
As I write this, I find myself wondering; could there possibly be such an abundance of stories like this out there, that it would be impossible to attribute them as being stories about events of mere chance if we knew how many there are? I don’t know. I want to know though! And I will share mine later when they will make sense.
God bless you!
A couple of distinctions

Here are a couple of distinctions which I learned of several years ago that helped me to better understand God and my experiences with him.
God is All Knowing, but that does not mean All Aware.
God is Omnipresent, but that does not mean All-Seeing.
God does not suffer any lack in ability. God certainly could choose to be All Aware and/or All-Seeing if he wanted to. God doesn’t want that though, so he handles his own personal experiences differently than some might expect. God chooses what he is and is not aware of. God chooses what he does and does not see.
God bless everyone!
