Emanuel Newton’s unique red pill

Bellator light heavyweight champion Emanuel Newton, 30, has been fighting for over a decade, and is on a six-fight win streak. His latest victory was a spectacular spinning hammerfist KO of Joey Beltran.

I still have the whole universe and spiritual awakening thing going on, said Newton to Steven Marrocco for MMAjunkie. I’m just really looking at life and things differently. It’s working so far, so I’m going to keep doing that.”

It’s not so much ‘God’ … I mean, God is everything but it’s not so much God that we connect with – it’s the universe. The same atom that dwells in the deep and infinite space of our DNA is the same atom that dwells behind our sun. So obviously we’re meant to connect to the moon and the stars.

Our deja vu and our dreams and our visions – everyone has them, but we’re programmed through the people who want to keep control that it’s ‘just our imagination.’ OK, well, if it’s just my imagination then there would be no cell phones, there would be no television or cars. Anything that’s been made by man comes from our imagination – someone had to imagine it first.

Our cerebral cortex and our pineal gland, there’s fluoride in water and fluoride in this and that, and fluoride is proven to calcify your pineal gland and make you less spiritual – make you have less deja vu, make you have fewer dreams and fewer visions. So I believe that we’re supposed to live our lives by paying attention to those things, those crazy feelings we have in life. So that weird feeling you get when you have deja vu, you think, ‘Wow, there’s something bigger here,’ but you don’t pay attention to it because we’re programmed to think that would be like losing your mind.

Your mind is the strongest tool. How does a mother lift a car off her child after a bad car accident? It’s your mind. It’s the energy that comes from your mind and your heart. So I don’t train half as hard as I used to because I come in there mentally tough. I have to keep my mind occupied and stay entertained. That’s why the universe is very important – it keeps you entertained with the things you see and the people you meet. We’re programmed to be and think a certain way. We’re programmed to go to college, have kids, raise them and to work a 9-to-5. It just keeps the rich richer. That’s all we are – consumers.

If someone came up to me and had no idea what I was talking about, and I had to try to summarize it, I’d tell them: The only way to see what you’re supposed to see, to see what’s going to make your life better and connect to your deja vu, your dreams and your visions, is to give up your fear. Give up your worry and your concern. You know, you buckle a seat belt – that’s worry. That’s fear. It says in the Bible – or even in any freaking book like the Bible, such as the Koran – it talks about not having fear. When it comes down to it, religion is still programming. Why? Because religion is made by man.

What it comes down to is that the universe is not going to connect to you if you’re fearful. Give up your fear. And stop doing the things you know you shouldn’t be doing. The things where your conscious is telling you ‘No! No, no, no, no … don’t do it! Awww, you failed again.’ Pay attention to those things. Now, I know we’re all different so I can’t really tell anybody exactly what they’re supposed to do or how they’re supposed to live. All I can say is that I know we’re not supposed to fear or worry. But, because we’re all flesh, we are imperfect so we’re all going to fear and worry. But shut it down when you feel that. Shut it down and then it’s gone. And that’s how we take control of our lives and our destinies.
