Spirits of the Universe with Blake Rubie

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Time Travel, Soul Evolution, and the Prayer That Can Change the World Reverend Blake Rubie reflects on singing, service, extraterrestrials, time travel, afterlife judgment, world conflict, prayer, and the soul's journey, urging listeners to love one another, respect the human family, and help guide Earth toward peace. Everyday Life, Date Night, and Toastmasters In this episode of The Church of the Soul's Evolution, Reverend Blake Rubie opens with a personal update from San Antonio, mentioning the weather, a movie date night with his wife, and their new Friday-night routine of going out together. He also discusses attending a Toastmasters meeting that morning, where he gave a short speech he later expands on during the broadcast. The corrected transcript notes that Blake's spiritual, metaphysical, political, and personal reflections are preserved as his statements, while claims about extraterrestrials, time travel, hell, world politics, and religious belief are not independently verified. Singing, Military Cadence, and Service to Wounded Warriors Blake spends a major portion of the early episode reflecting on his lifelong connection to singing. He traces that gift back to his Army service beginning in 1982, when he sang cadence during infantry training and later carried that love of music into karaoke, church choir, and personal practice. He describes singing for wounded warriors at the Warrior and Family Support Center on Fort Sam Houston as one of the best things he has done, recalling how he brought equipment, performed during lunch gatherings, and used music as a quiet form of service, encouragement, and praise. The Sun, Spirit, Hell, and the Recorded Life The episode then moves into Blake's metaphysical view of the sun, spirit, death, and afterlife judgment. He describes human beings as spirits in material bodies, says every second of life is recorded, and presents dreams as times when the spirit leaves the body and travels into “dream land.” Blake also gives an intense description of hell or purgatory as a temporary place of painful rehabilitation for deeply harmful people, while emphasizing that the Creator is ultimately merciful and that souls continue their journey after correction. Creation, Extraterrestrials, and the Universe of Many Beings Blake expands his reflections into a cosmology that includes the Big Bang, a male-and-female Creator, four forces of the universe, and thousands of extraterrestrial civilizations. He describes many types of beings — humanoids, greys, beings of light, hermaphroditic beings, and advanced races from other planets and galaxies — and frames Earth as a young species being helped by older souls and more advanced civilizations. He also suggests that some billionaires and powerful people may be younger souls who make life difficult for others on this planet. Time Travel, Living Spacecraft, and Parallel Reality The central teaching comes from Blake's Toastmasters speech on time travel. He describes extraterrestrial spacecraft as living entities, possibly made from plant matter, crystalline structure, and other materials, piloted through consciousness and advanced mind-machine interaction. Blake says some beings can accelerate close to the speed of light, harness universal energy, and transition into a parallel or spiritual universe where time can be traveled as a location or trail. In his explanation, travelers re-enter the physical universe at a chosen point in history, then return by riding the parallel-universe path forward while avoiding the danger of returning to the same place and time as their earlier selves. Thiaoouba, Guardianship, Nuclear Danger, and Free Will Blake also discusses extraterrestrials from Thiaoouba, describing them as nine-foot-tall hermaphroditic guardians who have interacted with Earth for thousands of years and are represented, in his view, by the statues on Easter Island. He presents advanced civilizations as responsible for helping lower civilizations, but says they cannot override human free will except in rare moments of crisis or divine intervention. This leads into his warning about nuclear weapons, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and the possibility that civilizations must suffer consequences if they choose self-destruction rather than peaceful cooperation. Prayer, Peace, Palestine, Iran, and the Human Family The final section turns toward peace, prayer, and human dignity. Blake argues that Earth is a difficult school for the soul, but that people can still make the world better by loving one another, respecting human life, and praying for others. He speaks emotionally about Palestine, Israel, October 7th, Iran, war, innocent civilians, Trump, political division, and the inability of nations to talk through conflict. He closes by calling on “prayer warriors” to pray for the world, asking the Creator to help humanity survive, continue its soul evolution, and learn to love each other more fully.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Extraterrestrial Contact, Earth's Spiritual School, and the Plea for Help From Beyond Reverend Blake Rubie explores Phil Krapf's reported encounter with the Verdants, humanity's possible place in an intergalactic community, and his belief that extraterrestrial assistance may connect to spiritual evolution and biblical miracles. Alien Contact and the Question of Who Walks Among Us In this episode of The Church of the Soul's Evolution, Reverend Blake Rubie opens by welcoming listeners and immediately turning to the idea that extraterrestrials may be living among humanity and making contact in hidden ways. He says many species are reportedly interacting with Earth, possibly integrated into areas such as music, news, and ordinary society. From there, he introduces the story of Phil Krapf, a former L.A. Times journalist whom Reverend Rubie says wrote about a reported alien-contact experience in The Contact Has Begun. Phil Krapf, the Verdants, and the Reported Starship Encounter Reverend Rubie spends much of the episode recounting Krapf's reported experience with an extraterrestrial race called the Verdants. According to the host's retelling, Krapf was allegedly taken aboard a starship in June 1997 after seeing a bluish light in his room. He describes Krapf finding himself in an examination area, encountering several grey-skinned beings, and learning that he had been selected to write a book about their civilization and mission. Reverend Rubie presents the story as compelling while acknowledging that listeners must decide for themselves what to believe. Discernment, Personal Impressions, and Judging Testimony The host then reflects on how difficult it can be to know whether someone is telling the truth about extraordinary claims. He mentions communicating with Krapf by email and watching videos of him speaking at UFO-related events, saying Krapf appeared to him like a real person struggling with an overwhelming experience. Reverend Rubie branches into a personal story about meeting O.J. Simpson and offers his own speculative opinion about that case, using it to make a broader point about not judging people too quickly without direct conversation or complete information. The section reinforces one of the episode's recurring themes: evidence, testimony, and personal discernment are complicated. Earth's Origins, Ancient Races, and the Intergalactic Federation Reverend Rubie expands the discussion into a larger spiritual and extraterrestrial history. Drawing from claims he attributes to other books and sources, he discusses early human origins, races said to have arrived from other planets, Lemuria, Mu, Atlantis, Hebrew ancestry, and the idea that Earth has long been observed by advanced beings. He says the Verdants monitored humanity's violence and development before deciding whether Earth might be suitable for induction into an intergalactic federation of sovereign planets. He frames Earth as a difficult school of learning where souls evolve through hardship, choice, love, and spiritual growth. Food, Matter Transformation, and Peaceful Advancement The host also describes details from Krapf's reported time aboard the ship, including rooms, meetings, lectures, food, and orientation sessions. Reverend Rubie says the Verdants were described as vegan beings who could transform plant matter into food that looked, smelled, and tasted like familiar meals while being nutritionally optimized. He connects this to his own mostly vegan lifestyle and uses the story to imagine how advanced civilizations might solve human problems such as nutrition, scarcity, and violence through technology and higher moral development. The episode repeatedly contrasts advanced peaceful beings with what the host sees as humanity's warlike tendencies. 9/11, Delayed Contact, and a Plea to Extraterrestrials According to Reverend Rubie's retelling, the Verdants had considered Earth barely acceptable for contact, with a plan that could have led to open contact around 2010. He says this plan changed after 9/11, which he describes as causing extraterrestrials to reconsider humanity's readiness because of ongoing violence. Reverend Rubie then makes a direct plea to extraterrestrials who might be listening, asking them to help humanity clean itself up because, in his view, most people are decent, loving, family-oriented, artistic, musical, and peaceful, while a smaller group of tyrants and violent leaders creates much of the suffering. His appeal is emotional, spiritual, and focused on the hope that advanced beings might help Earth avoid destruction. Biblical Miracles, ET Technology, and Spiritual Interpretation Near the end, Reverend Rubie connects extraterrestrial technology to biblical miracles, presenting his belief that events associated with Moses, Jesus, Lazarus, healing, water turning into wine, and the feeding of thousands may have involved coordination with alien spacecraft or advanced technology. He emphasizes that this is his opinion and that listeners do not have to believe him. He closes with a prayerful message asking the creative universe to bless humanity, help people become more peaceful, and teach them to love one another. The episode ends as both a speculative UFO monologue and a spiritual reflection on humanity's need for guidance, humility, and evolution.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) From Army Roads to Soul Evolution: Service, Sacrifice, Reincarnation, and the Power of Prayer Spiritual Seeking, Public Speaking, and the Soul's Journey In this episode of The Church of the Soul's Evolution, host Reverend Blake Rubie opens by introducing the show as a place where he talks about spirituality and truth-seeking. He references his book The Grey Brain and the Golden Soul, explaining his belief that the physical brain relates to the body while the soul relates to the spirit. From there, he connects his radio work to public speaking, music, Toastmasters, and the value of learning to speak clearly and confidently over time. Toastmasters, Venezuela, and a Life of Service Reverend Blake reflects on his long relationship with Toastmasters and public speaking, tracing it back to his time in Cleveland and then into his Army assignment in Caracas, Venezuela. He describes serving in the military group there, improving his Spanish by speaking with local security guards, and remembering the poverty and gratitude he saw among Venezuelan people. He presents this period as both a professional and personal learning experience, shaped by language, faith, human connection, and awareness of economic hardship. Civilian Army Work, San Antonio, and a 44-Year Career The episode then follows Blake's transition from active-duty Army service into contractor and civilian work. He describes receiving a job opportunity through Rosemary and Tom Levitt, working under Army Installation Management Command, moving through contract changes involving Booz Allen Hamilton and Calibre, and eventually relocating to San Antonio when the organization moved from Crystal City, Virginia. He recounts working in operations, worldwide individual augmentation systems, and Army databases until his retirement, totaling almost 44 years of service connected to the Army. Family History, Immigration, Martial Arts, and Military Formation Blake looks back at his parents' lives, including his father's British Army service in World War II, his mother's experience during the bombing of London, their migration to Canada, and the family's later move to Guadalajara, Mexico. He then recounts his own early adulthood in San Diego, college studies, philosophy, martial arts, and work as a bellman before joining the Army in 1982. His military path includes infantry training, Germany, Fort Polk, Korea, Bowling Green State University ROTC, and the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, where he studied Turkish and led a competitive Army running team. Leadership, Language School, and Personal Achievement A major portion of the episode centers on Blake's pride in physical training, leadership, and military achievement. He describes leading a run team at Monterey, training hard, winning a large trophy five times, and recording a fast team time. He then discusses his Turkish language studies, passing the Defense Language Proficiency Test, attending the basic non-commissioned officer course at Fort Benjamin Harrison, and winning the honor graduate, distinguished leader, and Iron Man awards. These stories emphasize discipline, competitiveness, perseverance, and the pride his parents felt in his accomplishments. Kidney Donation, His Son's Trials, and the Gift of Life The most personal section concerns Blake's son, who was born with underdeveloped kidneys and eventually needed dialysis and transplantation. Blake explains that he received a compassionate reassignment, moved to the Presidio of San Francisco, and donated one of his kidneys to his son at Stanford University Children's Hospital in March 1995. He describes the physical effects of that old-style surgery, the scar, later disability issues, and the lifestyle changes it required. He strongly encourages kidney donation as a gift of life while also urging people to research how it may change them, and he mentions his son's book Finding Faith Through Dialysis as a resource for people facing similar trials. Reincarnation, Prayer, Afterlife Beliefs, and the Creator The final portion turns fully toward Reverend Blake's spiritual teachings. He presents his belief that human beings are co-creator gods in the making, moving through reincarnation across planets and lives toward eventual spiritual creation and union. He rejects eternal damnation, describing hell as temporary spiritual rehabilitation, and speaks intensely about suicide, prayer for souls, universal law, and the power of praying for others. The episode closes with Blake teaching that “a man will prey on man until man learns to pray for man,” then offering a prayer directly to the Creator of the universe, asking for blessing, help, love, and divine will for all children of Earth.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Growing the Soul's Light Through Prayer, Compassion, and Spiritual Reflection From Public Speaking to Spiritual Purpose Reverend Blake Rubie opens from his backyard after a day of thunderstorms and reflects on his involvement with Toastmasters, where he serves as Vice President Education. He describes public speaking as a skill that once frightened him but now supports his personal growth, leadership, communication, and church singing. From there, he transitions into the episode's central spiritual theme: his belief that human beings are spirits living temporarily in physical bodies. The Soul Beyond the Physical Body Rubie presents his belief that death releases the spirit from the body and returns it to a realm of light, freedom, and expanded awareness. He discusses near-death experiences, the image of traveling through a tunnel toward light, and his view that the sun is connected to the spiritual world. He repeatedly emphasizes that spiritual development is, in his opinion, the most important purpose of earthly life. A Life Review Measured by Kindness The host describes a spiritual life review in which people experience the emotional effects their words and actions had on others. According to Rubie, each soul carries a different intensity of light based on its spiritual growth and conduct. He encourages listeners to increase that light through kindness, generosity, forgiveness, positivity, and respect for every living person, including those with whom they strongly disagree. Politics, Suffering, and Shared Humanity Rubie criticizes the hostility he sees in political media and urges people to recognize the humanity of political opponents rather than reducing them to parties or positions. He references Donald Trump as an example while making clear that his larger point concerns compassion for all living people. He also discusses homelessness, healthcare, economic inequality, war, and violence, arguing from his spiritual perspective that societies should become more generous and attentive to vulnerable people. Extraterrestrials, Evolution, and the Created Universe The episode broadens into Rubie's metaphysical beliefs about extraterrestrial civilizations, reincarnation, planetary evolution, and humanity's possible future within an intergalactic community. He refers to films, online videos, alleged Sasquatch encounters, and his interpretation of advanced civilizations as prompts for considering realities beyond conventional understanding. These ideas are presented as his personal spiritual conclusions rather than established scientific facts. Heaven, Judgment, and the Consequences of Free Will Rubie outlines his beliefs about Mother and Father God, angels, demons, heaven, hell, and the moral consequences of human choices. He says human beings possess free will while angels serve specific divine roles, and he portrays spiritual accountability as a universal law requiring people to face the effects of harmful actions. At the same time, he stresses forgiveness and encourages listeners not to carry resentment to the end of their lives. Prayer as a Force for Peace The program closes with Rubie's repeated phrase that humanity will continue to “prey” on others until people learn to “pray” for one another. He urges listeners to pray for homeless people, travelers, victims of abuse, those affected by war, and anyone facing danger or hardship. His final prayer asks the Creator for help ending violence, protecting innocent people, and guiding humanity toward love, peace, spiritual growth, and greater unity.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Songs of Faith, Freedom, and the Search for Spiritual Truth A July Fourth Show of Music, Reflection, and Gratitude In this episode of The Church of the Soul's Evolution, Reverend Blake Rubie opens with a July Fourth greeting and explains that he plans to dedicate the program largely to singing, with spiritual reflections between songs. He says he is preparing to fill in at church and sing “God Bless the USA,” then frames the show around music, faith, patriotism, spirituality, extraterrestrial ideas, and the importance of continuing to learn. From the beginning, he emphasizes humility, saying no human being knows everything and that people should share beliefs while respecting free will and personal opinion. “God Bless the USA” and the Meaning of Patriotic Song Reverend Rubie begins musically with Lee Greenwood's “God Bless the USA,” explaining that he has practiced the song for church and previously attempted it in a karaoke setting. After performing portions of the song, he reflects on the challenge and value of a cappella singing. He says singing without musical backing requires stronger breath control and vocal discipline, and he recommends it as a way to improve vocal performance. He also links his singing background to his military service, where he first recognized his voice through marching and running cadence. Army Cadence, Karaoke, and Singing for Wounded Warriors The episode then becomes partly autobiographical as Reverend Rubie recalls serving in the Army from 1982 to 2004, learning cadence at Fort Benning, and later singing karaoke after leaving basic infantry training and continuing his military career. He describes developing a repertoire through karaoke, church choir, gospel music, Beatles songs, Eagles songs, and other popular standards. A central memory is his six years singing for Wounded Warriors at Fort Sam Houston, where he performed for injured service members in a casual setting and built a song list centered on God, love, nature, rock and roll, and encouragement. Jesus, the Blood, and the Mystery Behind Miracles Reverend Rubie then performs “Thank You Jesus for the Blood,” using it as a bridge into Christian reflection. He speaks about the crucifixion, the blood of Jesus, the resurrection, and his desire to understand the mechanics behind biblical miracles. Rather than simply accepting miracles as unknowable events, he says he wants to understand how Jesus turned water into wine, healed lepers, walked on water, calmed storms, and fed thousands. He suggests that these events may be explainable through universal laws, principles, physics, quantum mechanics, or advanced spiritual knowledge, and he points listeners toward a book he identifies as Abduction to the Ninth Planet, The Phyauuba Prophecies, or The Golden Planet. Blessing America and Honoring Service In the patriotic middle section, Reverend Rubie sings and reflects on “God Bless America,” “America the Beautiful,” and “The Army Song.” He prays that God will continue to bless the United States, describing America as a great experiment inspired by God and built around freedom, equality, and the pursuit of happiness. He also celebrates the natural beauty of the country, referencing its mountains, rivers, lakes, plains, forests, national parks, and open roads. His Army reflections are deeply personal, as he recalls 22 years of active duty, nearly 44 years total working for the Army, service gatherings on cruises, veterans from different eras, and gratitude for the Army as a second family. A Cappella Memories and Popular Songs From a Lifetime The later part of the program becomes a loose musical showcase as Reverend Rubie mentions and performs portions of songs from the Beatles, the Eagles, Frank Sinatra, John Denver, Kansas, and other artists. He references songs such as “Yesterday,” “Seven Bridges Road,” “Fly Me to the Moon,” and “Sunshine on My Shoulders,” using them to demonstrate his long-standing love of singing and memorized performance. These segments are less structured as teaching and more like a personal musical visit, showing how singing has accompanied him through military life, church life, travel, caregiving, and personal growth. Closing Prayer for the Creator's Blessing The episode closes with Reverend Rubie offering a simple prayer to the Creator of the universe. He asks for blessing, safety, wellness, and help for all of God's children on Earth, ending in Jesus' name. The final tone is one of gratitude, patriotism, faith, music, humility, and reverence, with Reverend Rubie using the July Fourth weekend as a chance to sing, remember, reflect, and encourage listeners to keep searching for truth while honoring God, country, service, and spiritual growth.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) A Plea for Earth: Jesus, ET Intervention, Soul Evolution, and the Family of Creation A Prayerful Appeal in Uncertain Times In this episode of The Church of the Soul's Evolution, host Reverend Blake Rubie opens from San Antonio on June 27 with concern about the state of the world, end-times fears, war, and humanity's inability to police itself against tyrants and violence. He makes a direct plea to advanced extraterrestrial beings, saying he believes some may be listening, and asks them to help humanity if the planet is approaching a destructive turning point. Blake emphasizes that most people on Earth are good, family-oriented, loving, and desirous of raising children, living peacefully, and making the world better. Jesus, Miracles, and the Survival of Humanity Blake connects his plea for help to his Christian faith, saying that divine intervention has happened before through figures and events such as Moses, the Exodus, Jesus' birth, Jesus' miracles, the crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. He states his belief that humanity would not be alive today without Jesus and praises Jesus for the miracles described in scripture, including turning water into wine, raising Lazarus, healing the sick, driving out demons, feeding thousands, walking on water, calming the storm, and rising from the dead. For Blake, these events are not fantasy but reality, and he contrasts them with modern entertainment that focuses on fantasy and violence. Advanced Worlds and Abduction to the Ninth Planet A major portion of the episode centers on Blake's favorite book, Abduction to the Ninth Planet, which he describes as the account of Michael Desmarquet, an Australian man allegedly taken by advanced extraterrestrials to a highly evolved planet. Blake summarizes the book's depiction of category-nine worlds as peaceful, pristine, harmonious civilizations where beings love one another, animals do not eat each other, and there is no war or pollution. He also discusses the book's descriptions of interdimensional travel, parallel universes, thought-powered movement, special spacecraft, and advanced beings who allegedly monitor Earth and intervene when appropriate. Earth History, Human Origins, and Interstellar Migration Blake then outlines the book's version of Earth history, including claims that the first human beings arrived on Earth about 1.5 million years ago from a planet called Bakaratini or Bakaratiny after their world began cooling. He says two races came first, one Asian and one Black, settling in regions that became Asia and Australia, with later migration, interbreeding, and the development of other peoples. He also discusses Atlantis, Lemuria, Hebrew origins, and the idea that some groups came from higher-evolutionary planets but suffered because they were living on a lower-evolutionary world. Blake presents these ideas as beliefs drawn from the book and from his own spiritual interpretation. The Creator, the Big Bang, and the Four Forces The sermon shifts into Blake's cosmology of creation. He describes the Creator as an infinite, intelligent, electric energy field that is both male and female, omniscient and omnipotent. According to Blake, the Creator visualized every detail of the universe before bringing it into being through the Big Bang. He describes four universal forces: one that created suns, planets, and moons; one that created plant and animal life; one that created sentient beings; and one that placed a spark of the Creator's light inside each soul. He uses this framework to remind listeners that every human being carries divinity and should be treated with love, respect, and dignity. Souls, Reincarnation, Guidance, and Accountability Blake emphasizes that all souls are part of one soul family and that no soul is inherently greater than another, even if some are older or more experienced through reincarnation. He compares older and younger souls to siblings in different grades at school, saying younger souls need guidance rather than condemnation. He urges listeners to pray, journal, seek forgiveness, repent for wrongdoing, and ask for guidance in order to stay aligned with righteousness. He also warns that life is uncertain, that tomorrow is not guaranteed, and that each person will one day face accountability for whether they fulfilled the spiritual plan they made before birth. Words, Co-Creation, and a Final Prayer Near the close, Blake teaches that words are powerful and that advanced souls may eventually become co-creator gods who learn to command cosmic forces through the right use of speech. He discusses soul mates, reincarnation, karmic debt, planetary graduation, and the choice between returning to sorrowful worlds of war and evolving toward higher worlds of love and harmony. He ends by quoting ideas from Black Sabbath's “War Pigs” to condemn political leaders and war-makers who send others to suffer. The episode closes with a prayer to the Creator, asking for love, blessing, protection, guidance, righteousness, and gratitude for the Creator's greatness and mercy.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Disclosure, War, Near-Death Proof, and the Soul's Long Evolution Toward Love A Personal Opening From San Antonio In this episode of The Church of the Soul's Evolution, Reverend Blake Rubie opens by greeting listeners and sharing personal reflections from San Antonio. He begins with an extended discussion of the San Antonio Spurs, their recent NBA Finals loss to the New York Knicks, and what he sees as the team's strengths, missed opportunities, and future needs. He reflects on the emotional highs and lows of sports, the disappointment of losing, the influence of referees, and the difficulty of investing too much emotion in competition. Lessons From the Spurs and the Pressure of Crunch Time Reverend Rubie uses the Spurs' playoff run as a way to talk about performance under pressure. He praises the team for exceeding expectations and becoming Western Conference champions, while also examining the mistakes that shifted the momentum of the series. He discusses Victor Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox, Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, and the need for a strong player to develop alongside Wembanyama. Beneath the sports analysis is a larger theme: talent matters, but mindset, chemistry, decision-making, and calmness in crunch time determine whether a team reaches its highest potential. Turning From Basketball to Disclosure The episode then shifts into one of Reverend Rubie's recurring spiritual and metaphysical subjects: extraterrestrial life and government secrecy. He discusses the film Disclosure Day, recommending it while explaining that it presents the idea that world governments, including the United States, have covered up evidence of life elsewhere in the universe. He speaks about alleged recovered spacecraft, extraterrestrial bodies, black operations, and testimony from people who claim to have worked in covert programs. He frames disclosure as a world-changing revelation that could force humanity to rethink itself and its place in the cosmos. The Hope of Contact and the End of War Reverend Rubie suggests that open contact with extraterrestrial civilizations could help humanity move beyond violence, war, and petty conflict. He imagines advanced beings helping humanity join an intergalactic community, share technology, cure disease, and learn to live in peace. In his view, humanity's violent nature has delayed that possibility. He argues that if people knew without doubt that advanced life exists beyond Earth, they might be inspired to stop fighting and begin thinking more like citizens of a larger universe. 9/11, Afghanistan, and the Human Habit of Violence Reflecting on human cruelty, Reverend Rubie discusses 9/11, the World Trade Center attacks, the Pentagon, Flight 93, and the hateful disregard for human life shown that day. He then broadens the point by saying humanity cannot only condemn others, because nations including the United States have also caused suffering through war, bombing, and retaliation. He points to Afghanistan, World War II, Normandy, and battlefield deaths as examples of the way human beings repeatedly fail to resolve conflicts peacefully. Why Do Men Kill Each Other? Using Forrest Gump as a cultural reference, Reverend Rubie reflects on the question of why human beings kill each other. He suggests that violence often comes from a lack of spiritual maturity and an inability to resolve differences through dialogue. He also connects this to the historical oppression of women, arguing that men have often oppressed the very women who raised them. He strongly praises mothers, especially single mothers, and says women are often better leaders because they nurture, endure, guide, and carry families through hardship. Fantasy, Reality, and the Responsibility to Learn Reverend Rubie contrasts fantasy with reality, asking whether people are more invested in movies and entertainment than in real human suffering and practical courage. He notes that films may inspire people, but they remain fantasy, while real life asks whether someone could rescue a person from a burning car or respond wisely in danger. He encourages listeners to keep learning, think for themselves, and avoid believing that any one book, teacher, or religious authority contains every answer. For him, spiritual growth requires open inquiry, humility, and the willingness to examine testimony from many sources. Near-Death Experiences as Spiritual Evidence A major section of the episode centers on near-death experiences. Reverend Rubie argues that many people who report these experiences are telling the truth and that their stories provide important evidence of spiritual reality. He focuses on the case of Bruce Van Natta, describing the accident in which a truck axle crushed his abdominal area, his heart stopped, and he reported leaving his body, seeing angels, moving through a tunnel, and hearing divine guidance. Reverend Rubie presents this story as evidence that the soul survives the body and that divine help can intervene in moments of life and death. The Call of the Soul and the Intergalactic Community Reverend Rubie connects near-death experiences, extraterrestrial life, and spiritual evolution into one larger worldview. He says humanity is being called by the soul to recognize that life exists throughout the universe and that beings in many forms are waiting for humanity to mature. He describes different species, bodies, skin textures, eyes, and forms of intelligence as part of the Creator's vast design. Humanity, in his view, is a microcosm of the universe, participating in the Creator's growth through experience, choice, and evolution. Earth as a Difficult School of Learning The episode presents Earth as a hard school where souls learn through danger, suffering, nature, disease, accidents, conflict, and mortality. Reverend Rubie mentions storms, lightning, earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, volcanoes, tsunamis, car accidents, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and the daily fragility of life. He urges listeners to drink water, care for their bodies, set ego aside, and learn from others. Despite Earth's harshness, he sees the planet as a place of spiritual development where free will, love, and responsibility are tested. Free Will, Karma, and Judgment Day Reverend Rubie emphasizes free will as one of the central conditions of human life. He says people can pray for help, but they must also recognize that choices have consequences. Taking another person's life against that person's free will, he says, creates karmic debt that must be faced in a future lifetime. He also speaks of Judgment Day and the life review, saying every action, interaction, and second of life is recorded. This becomes one of the episode's clearest moral messages: every person is accountable for whether they spread love, harm, hope, or despair. Logic, Life, and the Case for a Living Universe Reverend Rubie uses the diversity of life on Earth as an argument for life elsewhere. He points to millions of insect species, fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, mammals, plants, planets, stars, suns, solar systems, and galaxies. His reasoning is that if life can exist so abundantly here, it is logical to believe life exists elsewhere as well. He describes every visible star as a sun with planets around it and imagines other civilizations that may have existed and traveled for millions of years before humanity appeared. Unacknowledged, Nuclear Weapons, and Hidden Technology Returning to the disclosure theme, Reverend Rubie recommends the documentary Unacknowledged, saying it can convince open-minded viewers that extraterrestrial contact has occurred and that covert programs have concealed it. He discusses Area 51, S4, black operations, billions of dollars in secret funding, Roswell, recovered craft, and the possibility that humanity could have had clean or free energy if information had been released. He also reflects on nuclear weapons, Iran, North Korea, the former Soviet Union, weapons of mass destruction, and the danger of believing official claims without critical thought. Prayer as Relationship With the Divine The episode closes by returning to prayer, faith, and love. Reverend Rubie encourages listeners to build a daily relationship with the Creator, Mother and Father God, Jesus, Buddha, Muhammad, or whatever higher power they sincerely turn toward. He says every prayer strengthens faith and that life feels better with a higher power. He offers a prayer thanking the Creator for the beautiful world, asking for blessing, guidance, righteousness, peace, love, dignity, respect, and humanity's growth into a better world aligned with divine will.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) A Father's Gift of Life: Reverend Blake Rubie on Kidney Donation, Veterans' Benefits, and Gratitude Through Suffering Reverend Blake Rubie Opens The Church of the Soul's Evolution In this episode of The Church of the Soul's Evolution, host Reverend Blake Rubie returns after missing two Saturday shows while visiting his son Bryce in Burbank, California. He explains that he and Bryce recently enjoyed a four-day cruise together, and he uses that visit as the starting point for a deeply personal reflection on fatherhood, kidney donation, military service, disability claims, gratitude, and survival. Reverend Rubie shares that Bryce is a two-time kidney transplant recipient and that Blake donated one of his own kidneys to him in 1995 while still on active duty. Bryce's Early Kidney Disease and Dialysis Reverend Rubie explains that Bryce was born in 1994 with serious kidney problems caused by a blockage during fetal development that prevented the kidneys from developing properly. As an infant, Bryce underwent procedures to allow urine drainage, then had his kidneys removed at three months old and was placed on peritoneal dialysis. Reverend Rubie describes the exhausting nightly process of connecting Bryce to dialysis, dealing with alarms, tubing, formula feeding, vomiting, clothing changes, and the constant effort to help him gain enough weight to qualify for transplant surgery. Donating a Kidney to Save His Son Blake says that when doctors asked whether he would donate a kidney, the answer was obvious to him as Bryce's father. He was tested, found compatible, and donated his right kidney to Bryce on March 29, 1995, when Bryce was about ten months old and had just reached the minimum weight requirement. Reverend Rubie describes seeing his son after surgery, surrounded by tubes and machines, but with what he calls the look of a survivor. That kidney lasted 19 years, giving Bryce a childhood and years of life that Blake believes he would not otherwise have had. The Gift of Life and the Importance of Kidney Health A major theme of the episode is Reverend Rubie's encouragement for people to consider kidney donation if they are able and willing. He repeatedly calls kidney donation a gift of life, especially when given by someone outside the immediate parent-child relationship, as happened when Bryce later received a second kidney in 2014 from his best friend's mother. Blake also urges listeners to take care of their kidneys, especially by drinking enough water, because he believes many people underestimate how serious kidney failure and dialysis can become. The VA Disability Fight Reverend Rubie spends much of the episode discussing his ongoing battle with the Veterans Administration over whether the loss of his kidney should qualify for disability compensation. He says the VA has classified the surgery as elective or voluntary, but he strongly disagrees, arguing that a kidney donation to save a child's life should not be treated the same as an elective procedure such as cosmetic surgery or a vasectomy. Because he was on active duty at the time and needed approval through his military chain of command, he believes the donation should be recognized differently. Pain, PTSD, Sleep Apnea, and Long-Term Effects Blake explains that the kidney donation left him with a large scar, long-term pain, reduced mobility, difficulty sleeping on his side, and related health effects. He says he has been diagnosed with PTSD and anxiety connected to the kidney donation and describes sleep apnea that he believes is affected by his inability to sleep comfortably on either side. He contrasts older kidney donation surgery, which left him with a nine-inch scar, with newer less-invasive methods that may leave much smaller scars. Frustration with VA Denials and Bureaucracy Reverend Rubie expresses gratitude for the benefits he currently receives, including reaching 100% disability, but also describes years of frustration with VA denials, repeated wording that he believes is contradictory, and what he sees as inefficiency or incompetence in the claims process. He says the VA has repeatedly stated that the kidney donation did not occur during or because of service, while elsewhere acknowledging that he donated a kidney to his son. He praises his lawyer and assistant for helping him fight the appeal, but says the process has been slow, stressful, and emotionally draining. A Prayer for Bryce and a Message of Gratitude Near the end of the episode, Reverend Rubie reflects on how much his son has meant to him. He says Bryce helped give meaning to his life and career, and he recalls driving hundreds of miles to visit him after his divorce, including trips from Virginia to Ohio and later visits while stationed in Venezuela. He shares that Bryce now works for Warner Brothers and has been doing well after his second transplant. The episode closes with Reverend Rubie praying for Bryce's health and protection, thanking God and the Creator for his son, blessing listeners, and explaining that the following week will be a rerun because he will be attending the Army Birthday Ball

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Growing the Soul's Light: Heaven, UFO Truth, Prayer, and Spiritual Evolution Singing, Service, and the Wounded Warriors In this episode of The Church of the Soul's Evolution, Reverend Blake Rubie welcomes listeners from his patio in San Antonio and explains that upcoming episodes may be reruns while he visits his son. He reflects on his love of singing, his karaoke practice, his new sound system, and the years he spent singing for wounded warriors at the Family and Warrior Support Center at Fort Sam Houston. He describes that period as one of the best experiences of his life, using music to bring comfort, encouragement, and presence to military members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. Seeking Reality Beyond Fantasy Rubie shifts from music into a broader reflection on society, violence, truth, and the need to become more spiritually intelligent. He criticizes the way violent movies, television, and cultural images can feed unhealthy minds, especially in a society that gives lip service to freedom while struggling with mental health and violence. He also discusses UFO disclosure, Roswell, and government secrecy, arguing that humanity should move from belief into knowledge by examining evidence and researching for itself. In his view, Earth is a difficult school where adversity, death, illness, violence, and uncertainty all serve the larger purpose of soul growth. The Universe as Thought, Light, and Creation A central teaching in the episode is Rubie's explanation of the universe as a living, intelligent creation shaped by divine thought. He discusses the Big Bang, galaxies, solar systems, the four forces of creation, sentient life throughout the universe, and the idea that matter begins as intelligent energy or thought. He connects these ideas to Einstein, relativity, superstring theory, faster-than-light travel, interdimensional spacecraft, and advanced extraterrestrial civilizations. Rubie presents human beings as spirits in material bodies, each carrying a soul-light that can grow brighter through kindness, prayer, love, service, and spiritual development. Prayer, Words, and the Psychosphere Rubie places strong emphasis on prayer, especially the courage and value of praying for everyone. He teaches that spoken words rise into the atmosphere and become part of what he calls the psychosphere surrounding Earth, containing past words, deeds, prayers, and intentions. Because words can create or destroy, he urges listeners to use them carefully, lovingly, and constructively. Prayer, in his view, is one of the highest forms of love because it asks divine and heavenly forces to help others heal, receive what they need, and grow spiritually. Heaven, Reincarnation, and the Spirit's Journey The episode spends a long portion describing Rubie's vision of heaven as a world of light, fire, beauty, music, love, gardens, roads of transparent gold, angels, chariots, and ancient spirits waiting in joy. He says human beings continue after death as pure spirits, with soul-light that reflects their level of spiritual evolution. He rejects eternal damnation, instead describing a place of darkness or “God's jail” as a realm of rehabilitation for souls that have gone far off course. Rubie also discusses reincarnation, male and female spirit identity, karmic lessons, the Mother and Father God, and the eventual destiny of souls to become co-creator beings in their own right. Forgiveness, Kindness, and the Closing Prayer Toward the end, Rubie reflects on forgiveness, even for people who have committed terrible acts, arguing that God sees the full story behind every soul's choices and offers correction rather than endless punishment. He encourages listeners to forgive family members, bury old conflicts, pray for others, wave, smile, and recognize the dignity of every person they encounter. He closes with a prayer to the Creator of the universe, asking for blessing, guidance, growth, evolution, and help in doing divine will. The episode ends with Rubie reminding listeners that he will be away for the next two weeks and that reruns may air during that time.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Evolution of the Soul, Personal Growth, Global Conflict and Extraterrestrial Observation In this episode the discourse weaves together personal anecdotes from Toastmasters and singing for veterans with profound esoteric theories regarding extraterrestrial intervention, the spiritual origins of humanity, and the transformative power of prayer as a solution to global conflict. Personal Growth and the Art of Communication Reverend Ruby reflects on his journey toward self-improvement through his 16-year residency in San Antonio and his active participation in Toastmasters. He recently completed the "Persuasive Influence" educational pathway and has transitioned into "Presentation Mastery," emphasizing that building confidence is a daily pursuit. Drawing from his six years of experience singing for Wounded Warriors, he highlights the technical importance of using a microphone on a stand. He argues that this setup allows for optimal lung expansion and free gesturing, which enhances both vocal performance and the speaker's physical presence. Global Conflict and the "Young Soul" Paradigm The discussion addresses current global tragedies, including the conflicts in the Gaza Strip and Ukraine. Ruby posits that Earth is a "Category 1" planet—the lowest on a scale of nine—characterized by sorrow and violence. He introduces a spiritual perspective on these conflicts, suggesting that the world is populated by "young souls" who lack the spiritual development of "older souls." He specifically shares an esoteric history of the Jewish people, claiming they originated from a planet called "Hebra" and arrived on Earth via a spacecraft that crashed in the region of modern-day Turkey thousands of years ago. Extraterrestrial Observation and Divine Intervention According to the discourse, peaceful extraterrestrial civilizations have been observing Earth for millions of years. These advanced beings act as cosmic guardians, occasionally intervening in human history (such as during the times of Moses or Jesus) to prevent total self-destruction. Ruby asserts that these ETs allow humanity to evolve but will sabotage spacecraft if a species attempts to take war into outer space, as they demand the cosmos remain a peaceful domain. The Spiritual Mechanics of the Afterlife The narrative concludes with a vision of the afterlife as a "world of light." Drawing from the near-death experience (NDE) of Lou Famoso, Ruby describes the soul as a being of light that continues to learn even after death. He challenges traditional religious structures by asserting the existence of a "Mother God" alongside the "Father God," arguing that a universe defined by male and female principles must have a divine pair at its source. He encourages listeners to become "prayer warriors" to increase the light of their souls and "graduate with honors" from the difficult school that is Planet Earth. Reverend Ruby's message is one of radical empathy and cosmic perspective. By viewing Earth as a challenging school for soul evolution and recognizing the shared light within all people—regardless of nationality or creed—humanity can transition from a state of "preying" to a state of "praying," eventually achieving the peace required to join the broader galactic community.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) The Evolution of the Soul: From Earthly Trials to Celestial Light Reverend Blake Ruby returns from a personal journey to Japan to share profound insights on the nature of human conflict, the reality of extraterrestrial life, and the spiritual mechanics of the soul. This broadcast serves as a guide for navigating the "school of learning" that is Earth by focusing on health, kindness, and the expansion of inner light. Reflections on Culture, Conflict, and Human Intellect The contrast between the disciplined, quiet culture of Japan and the persistent noise and conflict in the West serves as a backdrop for a deeper analysis of human nature. While Japan exhibits a high degree of social conformity and respect, it also faces environmental nuances like the prevalent smell of natural gas in certain urban areas. On a broader scale, global conflicts—such as those in Gaza and Iran—are viewed as a failure of human intellect. True intelligence is defined by the ability to resolve differences peacefully, yet humanity remains trapped in a cycle of revenge and indiscriminate violence that often claims the lives of non-combatants, particularly women and children. The Extraterrestrial Reality and the Disclosure Project There is a vast amount of evidence documenting extraterrestrial contact, yet political leaders often lack the courage to open the "UFO files." Drawing on the work of experts like Dr. Steven Greer and the Disclosure Project, it is suggested that between 50 and 60 different species have made or are currently making contact with Earth. However, humanity's violent nature and history of warfare act as a barrier to open, formal contact. The existence of these advanced civilizations, some of which are interdimensional, points to a larger intergalactic federation that maintains peace within the universe. Spiritual Health and the Physical Vessel The physical body is a temporary vessel for the spirit, and its maintenance is directly linked to spiritual vibration. A vegan diet and proper hydration are emphasized as tools for spiritual development. Personal experience with kidney donation in 1995 highlights the "gift of life" and the necessity of protecting internal organs from disease through a healthy lifestyle. Furthermore, the act of digestion, particularly of heavy meats, is thought to lower one's vibratory level, whereas lighter, organic foods allow for better concentration on spiritual growth. The Mechanics of the Afterlife Earth is described as a "school of learning" rather than a permanent home. Upon death, spirits return to a realm of light where they can configure their appearance—often choosing a "prime" age of 30. This spirit world features vivid colors, intelligent flora, and a landscape that mirrors Earth's beauty but with heightened perfection. While "Hell" exists as a rehabilitative space for those who have committed evil, the ultimate goal for every soul is to increase the intensity of its "inner lamp" through kindness and positive conduct during its earthly tenure. Conduct and the Power of Words The use of vulgar language is identified as a sign of lost temper and a lack of intelligence, which may even have long-term neurological repercussions like Parkinson's or dementia. In a world where political debates often devolve into personal attacks, maintaining dignity and respect for all living beings is a critical test. Every individual is born with a life plan to make the world better, and small acts of kindness—like opening a door or offering a positive greeting—are the primary methods for "graduating" to a higher category of planetary existence. Life on Earth is a challenging but necessary stage in the evolution of the soul. By embracing a lifestyle of physical health, intellectual peace, and consistent kindness, individuals can grow their "inner light" and prepare for a joyful transition into the spirit realm. The ultimate objective is to leave this world with a brighter soul than the one we arrived with.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Guest, Preston Dennett, Cosmic Evolution and A dialogue on ET ancestries On this episode of The Church of the Souls Evolution, a profound conversation between Reverend Blake Ruby and UFO researcher Preston Dennett. The dialogue explores the intersection of extraterrestrial visitation, the spiritual purpose of life on Earth, and the urgent need for humanity to evolve beyond its current state of conflict and environmental destruction. The Universal Humanoid Template and ET Origins Preston Dennett posits that the various extraterrestrial beings reported by contactees—including Grays, Pleiadians, and Mantis types—are not necessarily distinct species in the biological sense we understand. Instead, they represent different "ancestries" sharing a common heritage. The humanoid form appears to be a universal template, and many contactees receive the message that "we are you, and you are us." These beings are not merely advanced in technology but are also psychically and ethically superior, with some civilizations reportedly being millions or even billions of years ahead of human development. Earth as a "Difficult School" for Soul Evolution A central theme of the discussion is the concept of Earth as a high-intensity "spiritual school." Reverend Ruby and Dennett discuss the idea that spirits choose to incarnate on Earth, often accepting a state of amnesia to maximize the learning potential of this difficult environment. The goal of this "curriculum" is to increase the "wattage" or light intensity of the soul. By navigating the challenges of a physical, often violent world, individuals gain wisdom, empathy, and spiritual maturity that cannot be acquired in the higher, more harmonious realms. The Thiaoouba Prophecy and Divine Intervention The conversation highlights the case of Michel Desmarquet and his book Abduction to the 9th Planet. This account describes a highly advanced race of nine-foot-tall, hermaphroditic beings who act as spiritual guardians for lower-evolutionary planets like Earth. According to this narrative, these beings have historically intervened in human affairs—such as during the time of Moses or the life of Jesus—to prevent humanity from self-destructing. They emphasize that while they provide guidance, they cannot solve all of humanity's problems due to the laws of free will and karma. The ET Agenda: Warnings and Non-Interference Modern UFO sightings, particularly since 1947, are linked to the dawn of the atomic age. Dennett explains that ETs are deeply concerned with our ability to extinguish life on the planet. However, they operate under a principle of limited interference. They provide "healing, guiding, teaching, and warning," but they insist that humanity must take responsibility for its own greed, corruption, and environmental destruction. They view humanity as "kids with matches" who are not yet spiritually mature enough to handle advanced technology without weaponizing it. Accountability and the Afterlife Drawing from Near-Death Experience (NDE) research, the speakers discuss the "life review" process. In this state, individuals do not just witness their past actions but feel the emotional impact of those actions on others. There is no "eternal hell" in a traditional sense; rather, individuals find themselves in "dark places" of their own making due to ignorance, addiction, or self-centeredness. Spiritual progress is defined by the ability to move toward love and truth. The dialogue concludes that humanity is at a critical juncture, walking a "razor's edge" between self-destruction and spiritual awakening. While extraterrestrial beings provide a quiet guardianship and occasional warnings, the responsibility for peace and evolution rests solely with human choice. The ultimate purpose of the earthly struggle is the refinement of the soul, moving from the darkness of conflict toward the brilliance of universal love.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Guest, Preston Dennett - The Evolution of Souls and the UFO Phenomenon and ET Presence This episode of The Church for Soul Evolution features Reverend Blake Ruby and prolific UFO researcher Preston Dennett. They explore the undeniable evidence of extraterrestrial visitation, the spiritual connection between humanity and alien life, and the systematic suppression of cosmic truths by global powers. The Biological and Evolutionary Context of Universal Life The discussion begins with the premise that the sheer diversity of life on Earth—spanning millions of species of insects, fish, and mammals—suggests that life is a natural, perhaps inevitable, process throughout the universe. Dennett argues that with the discovery of countless exoplanets via the Kepler and James Webb telescopes, it is "the height of arrogance" to assume humanity is alone. He posits that evolution likely follows similar paths elsewhere, potentially resulting in humanoid, insectoid, or even feline-like beings that have transcended their home planets to explore the stars. Dennett emphasizes that the consistency of eyewitness reports worldwide—describing beings that are often more similar to humans than different—points toward a shared biological or spiritual heritage. He asserts that the evidence collected over the past century, including thousands of landing trace cases and radar-visual sightings, effectively excludes the possibility of mass hallucination or hoaxes. Systematic Suppression and the Path to Disclosure A significant portion of the dialogue focuses on why the truth remains hidden. Dennett points to a "demonstrably true" cover-up involving the media and the "military-industrial complex." While some mainstream outlets have recently begun covering Congressional hearings, Dennett argues we are still not receiving the full truth. He cites historical cases like the 1947 Roswell crash, where an initial press release about a "flying saucer" was immediately retracted and replaced with a weather balloon story—a narrative Major Jesse Marcel later admitted was a lie on his deathbed. The speakers suggest that the driving force behind this secrecy is not the public's inability to "handle the truth," but rather the preservation of power, greed, and control. They argue that official disclosure would revolutionize human society by introducing advanced technology, ending the reliance on fossil fuels, and potentially eliminating the need for a monetary system. Spirituality, NDEs, and the "Earth School" The conversation bridges the gap between ufology and spirituality, noting the profound parallels between UFO encounters and Near-Death Experiences (NDEs). Both involve telepathic communication, feelings of intense love, and a "life review" where individuals experience the ripple effects of their actions on others. Dennett shares accounts of contactees who were told that humanity is part of a "common heritage" and that all beings come from the same "Source". Reverend Ruby and Dennett discuss the concept of Earth as a "difficult school" for souls. They suggest that ETs have stepped up their visitations since the dawn of the Atomic Age in the late 1940s to warn humanity against self-extinction through nuclear proliferation and environmental destruction. Interestingly, Dennett's research suggests that ETs often choose to heal or contact those who are actively working for the betterment of humanity, such as human rights activists and doctors. The dialogue concludes with a call for "truth and transparency" as vital components for the health of human society. Dennett and Ruby agree that while the "military-industrial complex" continues to suppress information, the sheer volume of personal encounters and physical evidence makes disclosure inevitable. Ultimately, the message is one of hope: by embracing kindness and universal unity, humanity may finally move past its "young soul" stage and join the broader galactic community.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Leadership, Sacrifice, and Spiritual Vitality Reverend Blake Ruby shares a profound personal journey spanning his recent leadership milestones in Toastmasters, his extensive military service, and the life-altering experience of donating a kidney to his son. He integrates these experiences into a broader spiritual philosophy that emphasizes physical health, non-violence, and the continuous evolution of the soul's light. Reverend Ruby recently served as the Chief Judge for a Toastmasters speech contest in San Antonio, a role that functions as his High Performance Leadership Project to achieve Level 5 in his "Persuasive Influence" pathway. He detailed the technicalities of the contest, including the strict timing rules that led to the disqualification of two contestants from his own club. He expressed particular admiration for the contest winner, an 81-year-old veteran Toastmaster whose speech about his childhood in 1949 demonstrated remarkable mental clarity and vigor. A Life of Service and Transition The narrative traces Ruby's journey from his youth in Ottawa and Guadalajara to his immigration to the United States in 1973. His life has been defined by service, including time in the U.S. Army stationed in Korea, Turkey, and Venezuela. Having officially retired from federal civilian service on December 31, 2025, he is currently navigating the transition to Social Security and Medicare, noting a backlog in retirement processing due to a large wave of federal departures. Health Advocacy and the "Gift of Life" A central theme of the discourse is the 1995 kidney donation to his son, Bryce. Ruby describes the grueling process of infant dialysis and the "emergency" nature of the transplant, which he performed while on active duty. He is currently engaged in a legal battle with the VA, which previously denied his disability claim by labeling the surgery "elective." Beyond his own story, Ruby advocates for organ donation as the "greatest gift" and promotes a lifestyle of veganism, barefoot speaking for better biomechanics, and high-intensity interval sprinting to maintain longevity. Spiritual Philosophy and Universal Growth Ruby's "Church of the Souls Evolution" posits that the universe was created by an omnipotent Spirit to facilitate growth. He views the human body as a temporary "coat" for a spirit that is composed of pure light. He emphasizes the reality of "karmic debt" and argues strongly against violence and revenge, citing recent global conflicts as unnecessary. He believes that through successive reincarnations, souls eventually assimilate their learned love and knowledge back into the Creator, increasing the intensity of the universe's divine light. Reverend Blake Ruby's reflections serve as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the physical body. By framing his personal sacrifices and health challenges as opportunities for spiritual evolution, he encourages his audience to live with intention, practice radical generosity, and "grow their light" through every stage of life.

The Church Of The Souls Evolution with The Reverend Blake Rubie (Ordained Minister) Spirituality, Song, and the Metaphysics of Light Reverend Blake Ruby shares a deeply personal reflection on his life journey, blending his experiences in the military and music with a unique spiritual philosophy. He explores the transition from organized religion to "truth-seeking," emphasizing that the sun is the literal gateway to heaven and that our primary purpose is to grow our internal light through kindness and song. From Military Cadence to Spiritual Ministry Reverend Blake Ruby introduces himself as a minister with the Universal Life Church, a path he chose to pursue spiritual truth rather than the "money-making business" of traditional religion. His background is rooted in service, having joined the Army in 1982, where he discovered his vocal talent by leading cadences during basic training and PT sessions. This military foundation transitioned into a lifelong passion for singing, which he views as a spiritual practice that requires discipline and proper physical technique, such as deep diaphragm breathing. The Healing Power of Performance Ruby's singing career is extensive, ranging from cruise ship talent shows to performing the National Anthem for the WNBA's Silver Stars in front of 6,000 people. He spent six years performing for the "Wounded Warriors" at Fort Sam Houston, building a repertoire of hundreds of songs across rock, country, and spiritual genres. He believes that music is a tool for connection and healing, often performing songs by artists like Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and Coldplay to address themes of nature and love. Cosmology and the Four Forces of Creation The core of Ruby's message is a cosmological model where the sun, located 93 million miles away, is the actual location of heaven and the birthplace of souls. He posits that all matter is made of light energy and that the universe was constructed using four specific forces: the creation of celestial bodies, plant/animal life, sentient beings, and the "infinitesimal spark" of the creator's light within the soul. He describes the creator as an all-encompassing, shape-shifting energy field that communicates telepathically and encourages all beings to "grow their light" to expand the universe. Earth as a School for Soul Evolution Ruby views life on Earth as a school where the goal is to "graduate with honors" through spiritual development. He touches upon the existence of extraterrestrials, suggesting they avoid contact because humanity remains a violent species. He advocates for political and social peace, urging listeners to recognize the inherent dignity in every human being, regardless of affiliation. Ultimately, he describes the afterlife as a "great reunion" in a world of transparent gold and "Trees of Life," where souls return to their parents of light after passing through the "River of Oblivion" at birth. Reverend Blake Ruby concludes with a message of universal brotherhood, reminding listeners that life is too short for unkindness. By recognizing the divine spark within ourselves and others, we prepare for the eventual return to the "world of light," fulfilling a journey of reincarnation and spiritual achievement
