Even though I went from the Baptist church to a Catholic college, I was playing for the lady monks, which is just wild.

So it's so, it's so queer.

It really is.

And for a long time through, like, you know, as I was a young activist, I had Jesus as a role model, as a revolutionary, you know, and I was writing poems about Jesus being a revolutionary.

But now when all of this happened and,

Every time I would go to some Buddhist text or watch something online about consciousness, it was so consistently people were, the Buddhist folks were leading me back to Jesus.

And talking so much about how the teachings are very, very similar and how the teachings of Christ have been misinterpreted.

And to sort of, in many ways, undo our own sense of the God within us all.

And now, yeah, I love Jesus.

Meg.

Meg, who is like not really a Jesus-y person, has, I have to listen to stuff all night right now to sleep.

And so she's like, I hear we were listening to Jesus all last night.

And I'm like, yeah, yeah, we were.

I've been doing it for about 17 years now where I couldn't sleep without some sort of sound happening.

And it actually started during the time in my life when I had just gotten Lyme disease and I was terrified and really, really sick.

And I had nights that I was worried I wouldn't live through the night.

And so I started at that time.

And I have ever since just like sort of some soft television sound happening.

And now it's just, you know, videos of

People talking about near-death experiences or the life of Buddha or all of it.
