I have no clue what my purpose is yet and I am,, well, I will just say over 62 years old. I feel like I have no purpose anymore. Just sleep walking through the day basically watching interesting youtube stuff.
Why does everyone need a purpose. And if the purpose is for instance being a father, and you dont like being a parent (stress, school pick ups etc) but feels that it gives you a purpose, isnt it then better to not have a purpose?
Lol, on my way to work and back I prefer to listen to these kinds of long form stuff cuz it's like a podcast, so I agree, I don't mind these longer videos
I believe you, joey. I believe even the bad stuff is planned for a reason. Dunno why, what purpose we each have or part we play, but it's some sort of plan.
Hello Joey...I think being able to go off on a rant and hold the attention of thousands of people is a gift that very few people have. So feel free to rant on instinct. Your unstructured pod casts are very good..Take care and stay safe my friend.
I deliver packages and ur in my ear constantly. Make the videos as long as u like man i want them as long as possible to be honest. I can listen to u ramble all day
I love that you wrote “storytime” in your video description! I wanted to tell you I thought it’d be much better for your channel if you made more storytimes. I almost did comment that about a year ago when you blew up, I never went through w it bcs I thought I’d be imposing but I’m glad it somehow still came around. That’s the universe for me 🙌🏽✨
God bless you for telling everyone these stories! I'm sure He is very pleased with that because He wants everyone to know how much He loves and cares for us individually.
This made me smile. I believe in guardian Angels giving you a helping hand. A source greater than us that aids us in times of dire need. Wether we grasp it or not ..our call. It will keep knocking though till we’re ready. You didn’t mention that fox furry hat that was a blessing too. Staying grateful for the little things does change the flow. Look what it does to water molecules and the patterns that form when you say grace before drinking it.Cool post!✨ Thanks ☘️✌🏻
Been watching your videos for two days now. I like to watch videos of people sharing their experiences with drug addiction. Initially, I was skeptical of your alleged wisdom and intelligence. Remained so for quite a few videos. Over the past couple, especially this one, I have decided to no longer take everything you say with a grain of salt. Now it is apparent to me that you do have insightful, interesting and relatable commentary on life. Your sharing of your experience with God is quite profound and beautiful. It is a beautiful explanation that so many of us are able to relate to but maybe not put into words. I have indeed experienced such miracles. Thank you for sharing man!
It sounds like Taoist philosophy, I can resinate with that.., like the concept of following the path of least resistance, like water does, is very Taoist.
Ive been reading Jung and in particular the theory/ hypothesis of synchronicity... related to intuition, the unconscious and archetypes - universal symbolism. Youre a moral person and youre a good storyteller. Also willing to share this with people, which helps them. It helps me. Special guy. I was familiar with both of those incidents from your earlier series but it's good to hear them again.
In my view, this vid reminded me of a passage in the Bible “And he(Jesus) said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.” Luke 12:22-29 KJV
Trust me when a miracle happens to you.. or when you help someone else out.. you will feel it.. it's a warm special feeling.. like nothing else... it leaves you wondering how someone knew that you needed help.. and the same when you're able to help someone... you just know.
Joey just wanna say on a side note, it’s cool that your presentation in speaking to the camera has improved so much. I’m sure you’ve noticed yourself when editing etc but I think it’s great because I am not a great storyteller personally and I would like to improve in my public speaking ability You were always good at talking in your videos, but I notice you’ve eliminated a couple small verbal tic type things that used to be there in older videos. Pretty smooth now imo
Hey man, I feel convicted by the holy spitit to comment…I appreciate u my dude for the past year give or take you have became a safe place for me 👋 mobile Alabama ❤
Joe is an actual Ronin I've read all the books I've watched all the movies I thought this dude was here because he had to be but he is truly searching. I have all the same beliefs I've read all the same books I've watched all the same movies and you're really doing it you truly are a crazy homeless guy
That coat was a gift for you, some earth angel walked by and dropped it for you or God had someone accidentally drop it for you, either way it wasnt a coincidence, nothing happens by chance in this world. Ive had some incredible things happen to me when i was homeless and hadnt eaten in days, one time i found 10 dollars on the sidewalk when i was walking and another time i found a ziplock bag with 2 10 dollar gift certificates to PDQ with a note and a cross necklace inside. To most people this might not seem like a big deal but when you are homeless have no money and havent eaten in days, it is a miraculous thing.
Yeah i can definitely relate Joey i was raised similar not Catholic but my grandmother was a very religious Christian woman my father grew up in the church so i always believed in God from the time i was a little kid going to Sunday school Christian school.
This one smart dude. Especially knowing how God works and provides for us. We have a guardian (not a guardian angel) with us 24/7 365 days a year. They can do things for us but also call upon the angels to help us too. EVERYTHING…..I mean EVERYTHING Father approves or disapproves for us. Time is different in Heaven than we experience here. A lot gets done in Heaven for us in one second than we realize here. Also, we choose to experience certain things before we incarcerate here. We make a life plan. So we absolutely experience those things. I came this time to experience what love and patience are…….and they are the most challenging this I know. But this man knows A LOT about many things👍🙏 I’m blessed to see and hear his videos….he seems like a fine gentleman🙂👍
I needed this inspiration (confirmation) today 😊 Thankyou Joey 😇 God promised and described himself as our helper.. God helps us at all moments, especially when we can not help ourselves. 🙏 Psalm 72:12 - Psalm 46:1
I don't think it sounds crazy all all to say that God gave you food. I feel ya on that fr. I've seen and felt him work in my life in ways like that over and over again. Even when I ain't got me, I know God's got me! Also I find it very interesting that you refer to him as more of a force than an old dude on a throne. That really resonates with me. I have never been able to put it into words but that's a great way to explain it. Anyway take care man and God bless you!
Man within this last couple of years I've been coming across mushai miyomaoto and dauosim, but I've always been drawn to samurais since childhood,and your saying a bunch of stuff I've live through and been through.
“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you-you of little faith?” Matthew 6:26-30 NIV
its gods grace from every helping hand.... you enlighen someone day when you are a kind and humane human on this troubled earth we need to make the best of it. ive experienced man miracles in my past 34 + years living turning 35 in feb
It doesn’t sound crazy at all. Total Intent has helped & guided me in ways just like u described so many times. That shiz doesn’t happen for just any ol dummy so good for you. 🙃
Few one liners from AA. God works through people. And you’re in the footwork business, gods in the results business. So pray stay busy and let god do his part, from there, once you’re blessed, try to look for opportunities to drop a dinner or a coat or an apartment - you might be the god miracle in someone else life story. Gods in all of us. Good video brother
Im watching your video, and i was raised in the south Bible Belt Baptist. Religion is something else. It wasn't until i did a lot of reading until I understood. All people need to do is read the Lords prayer . They ask Jesus how to pray. Really look at words and try to understand
God is the spirit of truth and all. Eye of providence, gods omnipresent. You can’t hide in the 4th dimension. Every thought, action and intent you think is hidden effects you to the core. 👁 Devil is deception. De vil De ception De meaning take away. That’s what devil does. Takes away truth and clearity.
Joey, how many people have told you that you look like Lee Van Cleef? He was the actor who played the Bad in the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly. In real life he was a great guy. Which btw is my favorite movie of all time. Remember that great lies has some truth to them. In the greater scheme of life, we must have both good and evil. This is the purpose of life is for us to learn from every thing going on. Take some comfort in this, it’s all part of the experience. You have lots of practical experience and the hard times made you a better person. Yes God is the greatest of intelligence, perfect thoughts in the past, present, and future. Thoughts our brains can’t fully grasp while we are in our human form. Yeah there are both angels and demons among us. I once got attacked by a shadow figure. It tried to push me out of my body, had to fight with all I had to fight it off. I had a close friend who passed in a terrible car accident, she communicated with me several times after her death in different ways. I have two brief memories of how I died during my last two lives. I was shot in the chest in 1945 during WWII, then in the late 60’s died from a drug overdose after a party at someone’s home as the sun was rising on their kitchen floor. I still carry the birthmark on my chest where the bullet hit me, a nice reminder not to stand up and make yourself a target. Just like your subway food and winter coat, while I was a starving student I found a $100 bill while I was out jogging on a trail. Bought groceries with it and was super grateful.
I haven't lived a similar lifestyle but I've been in plenty of situations in countries across the world and never seen or experienced anything close to a so called miracle. As far as I'm concerned shit happens or it doesn't. There isn't always a reason for something happening it's just what happens. To me an actual miracle would be something literally impossible. Like seeing someone decapitated and die, only for their head to rejoin their body and come back to life. That would be a miracle to me, not something happening that's really unlikely or coincidence.
I ended up getting back into the hospital and loosing that room at the group home now I'm off the street not in a homeless shelter but a room with an old dude way up by the border of Canada and off medication. I e got some money saved up I've been ordering weed delivered I smoked an ounce in a week it's in my videos. I'm still way overweight from the meds they had me on in the homeless shelter where the state choose to give me COVID instead of letting me go to my own apartment and decided rather than go back there to live on the streets ended up in another shelter with monkey pox and then long story short I'm trying to get back into my own apartment still and go back to court so I can be able to make my own decisions again because right now the state is my guardian so I asked the court to appoint a lawyer. I only have $75 left at the end of the month plus $125 in food stamps $50 goes to my cell phone bill. They feed you here and most things are provided. The miracle is they were gonna court order me to take meds and I would have been drugged out of my mind I would not be writing this right now I would be a zombie if I didn't take this shot every two weeks they would send me back to the hospital thankfully even with the state and having been in a hospital and put in a group home they decided I was doing good and could do without it which usually is pretty rare. If they get a chance to dope you up and say you have no say you're getting doped up either way. So I guess I played this one just right. It just seems after all this I've been through it's going too well for all of this to have been a mere coincidence there must have been some divine purpose or plan otherwise how could it have worked out so well considering all the shit I was up against it makes no sense. It's times like these joey where I truly believe there must be a higher power and it's thnx to your videos that I had the courage to go get some gear and not go back to the homeless shelter and choose the street even though because of that they said they were gonna give me an apartment that made them change their mind I feel it is better I am off these meds because that is the only way im gonna be able to loose weight again and not be stuck wearing diapers as thats what they had me doing before and i wasnt having it. I had to go to court to fight the medication it took me three years I won and got out of the group home now I'm back again yet at least this time I've got a decent dispensary that will deliver a little extra cash and I'm not still being forced on those damn meds it took me seven years to get off of I still have my health even though I'm still way overweight. I know in time as long as I stay off the meds I can get back down to a normal size again and back in the game. Main thing is dealing with the weight yet I know there's hope cuz I'm off the meds that's the miracle to get back down to a healthy size not be over medicated and basically fattened up for the kill. Peace thnx again 😅😅
I would have to respectfully disagree with you about finding purpose. I think purpose in life is created not found. Each person has a choice whether or not to create purpose in life. I don't believe it is necessary to do so although life is much more fulfilling if you chose to. You can create meaning and purpose in just about anything you do depending on your perception. I don't think your purpose is something that you just go out and find like its hidden under a rock somewhere lol. Same thing with finding your passion, I think that concept is misunderstood by a lot of people it is something that is cultivated over time. I'm a musician and when I first started playing I wasn't necessarily passionate about it because I sucked, but over time as I got better I became more and more passionate about it and consider it to be one of my many purposes in life. This is still a great talk though I've also had similar experiences having the universe give me exactly what I need at just the right time when I was living on the streets and at other times in my life.
I was raised Roman Catholic. They call it “holiday” Catholics. The ones who only go on holidays. By the time I was in 10th/11th grade in catholic school, I proclaimed my non belief in God. I’d sit out the Eucharist, fight with theology teachers, etc. It wasn’t until later that I’ve slowly warmed up to God. Still non-religious. Religion is awful.
God is the supreme person, he is very much a personality just like you and me are and not some invisible "force". But hes not sitting on a cloud judging us but we have free will just like God has and we generate Karma out of our own actions that will lead our life in certain directions. God was never born but always existed, eternity goes back the same way it goes forward.
