This apparently... The 'prophet' Lovy Elias explains how to see in the spiritual realm... which I took to be how to see dead people... and if you can see them, you can speak to them, right?
Well, get your tongs ready... here comes some word salad that needs tossing...

Any one can talk to the dead... trick is, getting them to actually, really talk back
I recommend the advanced course in ventriloquism and puppeteering.
A smash at all wakes and parties!
Liven up that boring church service!
I was just heading here to say exactly that.
It's a bit like talking to god.
@@MrCanis4, If you talk to god, that's "spiritual".
If god talks to you, that's mental illness".
If they're talking back, check into a hospital lol
If you want to talk to the dead, just call a staff meeting at 3:45 PM.
Hehe. Don'cha know it 🤣
They're not really dead, but you'll never be able to demonstrate that. 😁
On a friday.
If you want to see the dead come to life, then be in the parking lot at 5:05.
What's the dead's Calendly profile link?
"I think I am teaching you too much."
Translated:
"I've got to stretch this out over several more services to maximize the donations without actually telling you anything."
And if, after all this, you can't speak to the dead, it's all your fault.
I'm willing to bet that this guy has a somewhat healthy bank account, with lots and lots of US $ in it, despite talking pure and utter garbage.
Jesus Christ his word salad is so strong I'm picking up serious Spirit Science vibes 😂
He's still just a somewhat advanced novice compared to grandmaster of word salading Chopra 🤪

I believe religion was invented when the first fool became a con man.
I feel a schism in the atheist community coming.
It is the greatest scam of all times: sell "non physical" things.
(like: talking to the deads and other spiritual whatchamacallit, soul saving and eternal life for the members of his specific cult(tm) , NFT drawing of the greatest orange president to have ever lived in the entire universe, etc...)
John Smith - Mormonism, L. Ron Hubbard - Scientology, Q - anons all come to mind.

When you say "Leaf be upon her" I put my right hand on my head. Does anyone else do this? Praise Lisa the Rainbow Giraffe.
I did and it works! In fact, it's impossible to NOT do this.
I hadn't been doing this, I'd better get started with the head tapping if I'm to get to the great savanna in the sky.
@@Isaac-hm6ih My thoughts exactly! More hen!
"No one knows how the Earth is floating."
GRAVITY! GRAVITY! GRAAAVIIIIIITYYYYY!
And when you say "The earth is round, do you mean "spherically round" or "disk-ally round"?
Because you've got believers swearing both are true.
Gravity is only a theory...
Therefore whatever supernatural stuff I make up is true.

Talking to the dead is easy. Teach a first period class on Monday.
I like talking to the dead. I don't get as much back talk as from the living.
Talking to the dead is dead easy.
As long as you don't expect them to speak back, that is.
I suspect this is a church a few km away from me this is the kind of word salad that will end world hunger
🤣🤣🤣 "kind of word salad to end world hunger" I'm stealing that one
I can talk to the dead. No wait they were creationists. And by dead I mean brain dead.
Intelligent dead-sign proponents.
It's easy to talk to the dead. Not so easy to get an answer.
🤣
the ded can be such stuck-ups..
That's what I like about the dead.
No back talk.
"World of Spirits" sounds like a niche liquor store that has hooch from all over the planet.
With weird things like lizards floating in it.
I think I saw a store with that very name at an airport.

Yay I can speak Korean too.
07:00 "Prepare yourself for the world of spirits".
That's going to be super easy barely an inconvenience. If it isn't real then there's no training required.
Line up the shot glasses.
It’s the one where Sir Sic reigns. Cheers everyone.
@@kellydalstok8900You mean the world of spirits?
@@kellydalstok8900 Sir Sic is funny as hell. We should deify him just as Lisa the Rainbow Giraffe.
@@pythondrink Don't you know? Lisa, Sir Sic, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster are three faces of one triune entity. It's just basic science, really.
The other evening, when I was walking home, I had my buds in, but I thought I heard and saw someone approaching from behind. I know that people frequently walk in my neighbourhood, so I figured it was one of them.
I looked round and saw no one, but I quickly realised I was hearing myself and also my shadow on the hedges.
When I hear this guy (and others like him) bang on about "spirits" and seeing them, I come to realise they are most likely having similar experiences, where sound and vision are not as they normally would be due to interference or distortion.
The mind can be deceived by the other senses. The difference is how you assign agency. You either have a logical processing, like I did, or an irrational one.
You are a good person.
When I hear this guy and others like him... I mostly realise that they have a engaged in the time-honoured profession of scamming others out of their money by making up bullshit.
Remember... Evolution favoured the guy that saw tigers where there was no tigers not the guy that saw no tigers where there was tigers.
@@markstyles1246 Remember...back in the day, the guy that saw tigers where there was no tigers is now in the current day, now saying there are guys seeing evolution where there was no evolution...
Well said. I think it is likely many believers in supernatural phenomena are simply applying some misplaced meaning to an illusion because they lack an understanding of how their own senses work.
@@wilhelmschmidt7240 Ignorance is bliss... so they say.
I do find it entertaining that they "know the truth" and laugh at atheists for not being able to 'see the truth'. When we ask to se their evidence they found, that shows they have the truth, they get a little tongue tied, and somewhat flummoxed, or simply say "the Bible"
Sweet and naive, like little three year olds. Simply believing what the grown ups tell them about a book with magical wizards, enchanted fruit, and talking animals. Oh, and telling them there are also fairy tales too, though somehow Christians don't believe in the fairy tales, despite having essentially the same content as the bible.
World of spirits, perfect name for liquor store.
Now thats what I’ll sign up for 😂😂😂
Gin? So long as your spirit isn't whiskey. Sir Sic might have an issue with that one.
If hoomans can be turned into whiskey by dead-ing them, that might be enough to get him moving on his plans.
All the whiskey belongs to Sir Sic...fact.
@@thatveganchick668 He ain't getting his filthy gauntlets on my wh... I don't have whisky. It's all rum. And I spat in it!
@@stylis666 Who doesn’t love a good rum and saliva cocktail?
'I'm trying to bring you somewhere.' Yeah, the cashpoint.
Thank you, Monsieur Tick. This is what the dark ages produced. Substance dualism and nonsense metaphysics. The churches had a thousand years to produce something worthwhile. Instead, this gibberish is what we get. What the world needs is a Summa Theologica for Lisa, leaf be upon her. Cheers for another great video.
dude, i can talk to the dead. just tell me who you want me to talk to and what you want me to say.
@@louiscyfer6944
Sure.. but I bet you can't make them talk back or prove they're there.)
@@guytheincognito4186 that would be silly, they are dead
@@louiscyfer6944
Indeed they are. Hence it's silly to talk to them too. 🤪
@@louiscyfer6944 then why did you say you can talk to the dead?
"You have spiritual eyes, that can see the World of Spirits."
Dude. I think that's called "imagination". To think, all of this confusion could've been avoided, if someone had just calmly explained the concept of Daydreaming to him.
It always impresses me that a person can confidently preach nonsense in front of an audience, all the time knowing he is full of crap.
I don't like to call people liars - it is technically possible that he is simply confused about the concept of "imagining things".
@@LadyDoomsinger Yeah, I'm more and more under the impression that far too many people _really_ have difficulties with taking fiction and imagination as real... Not just due to how they're "taught" as kids, but due to something innate...
Those people in his audience look at him like he's THE source of wisdom and insight-instead of Jesus.He knows this and he knows just what to say to keep them eating from his hand.He makes them feel important and significant by giving them the idea that they are on the inside track of revelation knowledge by having him as their preacher or "prophet." I would not be surprised if he's one of those pay to play prosperity teachers.Anyhow,everything he preached I heard when I was an evangelical from many,many, different sources.It's nice to be an atheist.
They’re like the people in the Emperor’s New Clothes; no one wants to admit they don’t have a clue what his drivel means.
I heard somewhere that every person who sees an afterlife during a near death experience, describes exactly what their religion says they would see. To me, it sounds like an example of how incredibly powerful our beliefs/worldview impact our brains perception of reality; just like how our native language affects our ability to distinguish between hues of color.
Not all who have some sort of near death experience, are religious. I've read testimony from people who claim to have experienced an existence beyond this life, but they do not believe in any form of God or Gods, before or after their experience.
@@Jaytee. no, non-religious people just feel at peace and see a white light. This happens because the brain is deprived of oxygen.
In a documentary I saw an experiment in which they stimulated a certain part of the brain, which caused religious people to “see” apparitions of angels, Jesus, or Mary, and non-religious folk to see beautiful colour patterns. People who expect to see apparitions will explain the things they see as what they want it to be; i.e. pareidolia.
@@kellydalstok8900 I understand what you're saying Kelly. But I have read interviews of non-religious people who claim to have spoken to dead relatives during a near death experience. Now obviously, this is not proof of an afterlife, more rationally a hallucination as the brain begins to shut down as the body dies. The brain being deprived of oxygen could also account for the experience of a long tunnel. I don't know whether you've ever fainted, it's a weird experience, but the feeling that you're travelling down a long tunnel during the process of losing consciousness, is very similar to what people recount after a near death experience.
He makes his cash a good deal easier than I do.
Well, if it _was_ overall easier, I'd do it in a heartbeat... But I'd find it too difficult to live with myself, let alone find any peaceful sleep...
He actually looks like a neat kind of guy, but then he opened his gob and spoke.
I kept thinking of a horrible scenario, wherein your girlfriend talks you into going to see an inspirational speaker, and you end up in his audience. You'd want to laugh out loud at some of the silliness he spouts, but one look at the bouncer that was standing center stage behind him, would seal your mouth. Afterwards, if your girlfriend gushed all evening about how wonderful he was, you would have to do a disappearing act, right out of her life.
Nah. I'd laugh, get up, and walk out.
@@jursamaj I’m not that easily scared either, but I might just make up an excuse to get out, and send a text to the bf.
You can talk to the dead all you want, but don't expect them to answer.
I tell the dead my secrets. That way, no one will ever find them out.
I played World of Spirits, but got bored and the membership fee was expensive for an MMORPG
%10 of income plus microtransactions is a bit too high, I agree.
A God resting his foot on a circle?? Woah, SkepTick, we don't need to know your browser history... some things are best left at home!
"Talking to the dead"? Tiny-tot me spoke to their late maternal grandfather and he replied- in kiddo me's head. What I was experiencing then sounds exactly like what the people who actually think they're really talking to real dead people describe. I wonder if they'll realize.
i can really talk to real dead people. just tell me who you want me to talk to and what you want me to say. we can even wager on this.
This guy speaks the truth. Source: I was less than two years old when I was born.
The video mentions Lisa the Rainbow Giraffe (LBUH) eating all the other gods out of existence. Made me think of this (slightly rewritten): "God can't exist because of Lisa The God-Eating Rainbow Giraffe. Since Lisa is God-Eating by definition, she has no choice but to eat God. So, if God exists, He automatically ceases to exist as a result of being eaten. Unless you can prove that Lisa the Rainbow Giraffe (leaf be upon her) doesn't exist, God doesn't exist. Even if you can prove that Lisa doesn't exist, that same proof will also be applicable to God. There are only two possibilities - either you can prove that Lisa doesn't exist or you can't - in both cases it logically follows that God doesn't exist."
That's very good apologetics. The circular reasoning is almost perfectly circular. It's considerably better than "the bible's true because it says it is".
Well, that sermon included so much word salad that I won’t need supper tonight.
Though I should point out that the bit at the beginning about the magicians and the 2-year old was referring to the Wise Men in the nativity story.
Any chance of a wine-ish realm...preferably a french red, with additional cheesy nibbles?!
"Chopra" level word salad. Maybe he visited the Random Deepak Chopra Quote Generator.
Nah, he's just an advanced novice compared to gradmaster of word salading Chopra 🤪
Hearing the wows and amens. Hurt me so much
between my mother and father there are 3 siblings, all men and each of them married a Joan, so I had 3 auntie Joans ( one passed and he married again, and her name was...guess what? Irene, you were expecting Joan again weren't you?
This human speaks truthfully. I personally have this transcendent ability as well. Ingesting half a cup of battery acid has given me all sorts of super powers.
What's for dinner?
Word Salad!
I absolutely love your content mate.
Praise Lisa the Rainbow Girafffe, leaf be upon her.
I don’t know if I missed the “how” but I might have to watch this video again to make sure.
Who are the guys standing behind the preacher? Bodyguards? How much you wanna bet they're packing guns?!?!
He’s not relying on god to save his ass. Maybe he’s the only one who knows it’s all bs.
Until I realized where the story was going, I thought he said "the magicians who were with Harold" .
Turns out what he was really doing was pitching the secret origin of the purple crayons.
"If it [the soul] is immaterial, then how do you know it exists?"
In the same way, we know the element Undetectonium exists. It is an undetectable element; we know it exists because we haven't detected it.
I love that security guy (is that was he is?) in the back with his head bouncing like a bobblehead.
Miracles in the mornings are common as the household often talks at the dead. At least I am sure I hear voices before recaffeination.
No flights to Moscow, Gorky park at the moment, so winds of change are unaccessable.
I UNDERSTOOD THAT REFERENCE...
*WHISTLES TUNELESSLY*
I have the gift of being able to talk to everything. Unfortunately, I do not have the gift of being able to get everything to respond.
Omg... I clicked back onto the video as this guy was in profile and I swear to Lisa, the first thought I had was, "Wow, Wyclef Jean has really gone downhill since I last saw him."
Here's a man who played Bloodbourne too much and became obsessed with "eyes on the inside."
My spirit is a single-malt.
My spirit animal is a single malt penguin.
The gullibility of the attendees, their credulous attitude, makes me weep for our society. Too much BS and they think this guy is somehow wise…… gosh!
I Love it Jon. Working in some of the Lore to a video. That still blows my mind every time I hear it. I feel like a LOT of people (especially with family members goading them on) could easily fall prey to the idea that they can communicate with the dead. I have to assume integrity and conscience helped you get to where you are today. You may not be able to talk to dead people, but you talk to a TH-cam audience, so you're making progress! ❤️ Cheers!
What this guy is proclaiming is not merely mumbo but definitely also jumbo. It's mumbo-jumbo!
Yep. He's totally saying words. So there's that.
Listening to this "prophet" makes me feel dead inside. But you can still talk to me, so I became a part of the world of spirits somehow 😂
I didn’t see what’s so hard to follow.
But I guess I do have a head start, since I not only have a deep connection with my soul and spirit, but also with my squoopadoop, which lives in the squoopadoopy zone…
my squoopadoop got evicted from squoopadoopy zone for smoking..

You're such a great support in these trying times!
LMAO What have I stumbled into? I should know better than to scroll down and click on things! :p
Ah well, let's see what else is on here :)
"The Earth.. how is it just floating?"
Well, I'm no EXPERT.. but I'm pretty sure they figured that out sometime ago.
Isn’t ‘World of Spirits’ a liquor store chain? 🍺🍷🍹
Talking to the dead is easy, anyone can do it. They won't respond in any way, but you can talk to them all you want.
This guy is the religious embodiment of David Skylark
I almost snarfed listening to this guy!🤣
The earth isn't a circle it's spherical and it doesn't sit or rest on anything it is in constant motion
Well, anybody can talk to the dead, it's when they think the dead are talking back is where thinks get wacky. Or dilutional.
"Advanced Witch or Wizard" is this a Harry Potter thing?
Obviously witches and wizards tho have graduated from Hogwarts, Durmstrang, Beauxbatons or any of the other wizarding schools around the world.
@@kellydalstok8900
OK, I'm convinced witches and wizards are real 😂
It always surprises me how many ppl fall for self-named "prophets" time and time and time again. 😳😳
I'm not religious; but isn't there something in the Bible about "not listening to false prophets"??? 🤔🤔
Like the new background… trippy
It bugs the crap out of me when people talk about “Moses and the Jews.” “Jews” is a more modern term, and in the book of Exodus the people were known as the Hebrews.
I realize this is completely unimportant but as a formal Bible scholar it bugs the crap out of me when people get this wrong.
Agreed. But I'm just as irritated when people speek OF Moses as though he were an actual person in history rather than a composite character in stories of Scripture.
You’re expecting this guy (the preacher, not SkepTic) to actually have some knowledge of history in general and biblical history in particular? I admire your faith in people! (Genuine admiration: that last sentence is not supposed to be snarky, but I know how things come over sometimes on the Internet!)
I often talk with the dead. It's very one sided.
No clue who does not hear the other. Probably me, considering I rarely get even a "moooooh" from a burger.
Peace love and soul.... Ish ✌
I also got ice in my spirits. But that is because I enjoy a cool drink, it is very nICE!
"World of Spirits" sounds like the name of an Off-Licence
7:00 I like spirits, you know, bourbon, whiskey etc
Well, I’m convinced.
Ah, soul!
Dude he was making shit up as he went along 😂 he kept pausing and would say “I wish you guys understood” and “i feel like I’m teaching too much” cuz he knows his audience doesn’t understand and he knows he’s just making it up as he goes
Funny how believers never realise the killing of the little boys in the Jesus myth was pulled straight out of the Moses myth. And there are other reworkings of OT stories in the NT as well.
Anyone else had a Bible AD pop up in the beginning of the video? That's funny 😂
All. The. Time!
I talk to my dead wife all the time, mark you she has yet to answer.
my parents watch that nonsense....nodding along "Amen" WTF did that guy talk about my head hurt trying to decipher !
The redundancy is strong in this one. 🙀
I do something I call cold reading at parties with my friends and family. Especially when they bring new people I have never met. People tend to give more away about themselves than they realize. They give things away by body language, accent, pronunciation, etc. No one ever has to say anything outright to give away a LOT of information. I do it as a way to educate people and explain how I did it. I find it fun, they find it educational, everyone is happy in those scenarios. This guy does the same thing, but he uses it to trick people into giving him money over and over. If I was as sleazy as this guy, I could make a killing in Atlantic City on the Boardwalk.
World of spirits.... i know a lot of shops.... let's go! 😁
To be fair: Talking to the Dead is remarkably easy. Getting answers however...not going to happen.
My spirit is Whisky, and it is great! I do believe there is a fine line between religious malarky and comedy, and this guy is right there on that line, but not as funny.
Peace
the idea that people actually believe this but not others os what confuses me😅😅😅
ah yes a graduate of word salad university.
Another long speech about the soul that isn’t based in an ounce of reality. The fun thing about the idea of the soul is that since there has never been any direct evidence, you can make up mountains of garbage about it and people lap it up hoping that it’s real.
It's tricky to talk to yourself and believe you are talking to the dead.
Here's a clue. The dead don't talk because they are dead.
that's a pricey looking show he's running there, ten bucks say they payed to get in there and he spent only a tenth of the boxy office take to set that up.
And they're going to have to come back more than once.

You can talk to the dead as much as you like.
It's when they talk back, you can be sure you've lost your sanity.
What about when others can vouch for you?
@@lyokianhitchhiker Then they are easily convinced by you obvious trickery
@@jusfugly Oh? I mean, I don’t think I can talk to the dead. I just think there’s something to be said for scenarios where the Mormon rule of 3 could be easily applied

@@jusfugly I don’t. I do think that it has some good ideas, though.
Talking to the dead is easy.... getting an aswer from them is another thing.... 🤯
There is the physical realm.....the soulish realm.....and finally, the selfish realm
It's amazing how he starts out by saying other people think they've communicated with the dead but they really haven't and then he imediatly proves he's the fake by talking about all this religious nonsense.
If talking to the dead were actually possible I would say there would be a scientific explination for it not a magical one.
