Where did your vision come from?
It's a great question.
It's so funny, my brother asked me that yesterday.
Hey, so you're like, we're having this little like cosmic,
oh my God, we're having the,
I'm having this brother conversation for the repeat.
I don't know, I remember as a kid,
okay, I'm going back for a second.
I'm gonna try to connect this dot.
So I'm 65 years old, I'm a 70s kid.
I was enamored and fascinated and loved the Carpenters.
You probably, you know this.
I was gonna say the Bee Gees, but you're the Carpenters.
It's even farther back.
Bee Gees is late, you know, this is Karen.
We've only just gone on top of the very, you know,
today's world that's like, oh my God,
that's old people music.
It is, it's what I bought.
My point of this is I became enamored
by their counter cultural moment.
They came along when rock and roll was loud
and they come along and like,
we've only just becomes the number one song,
by the way, this month in 1970, August of 1970.
So why I'm telling you that is it was counter cultural.
It was, everybody said this is ridiculous.
And I became enamored by the, how did that happen?
They had the guts and the courage to make the sound,
not compromise the sound.
This is what we do.
This is how we do it.
And somebody, Herb Albert, you know, that name came up.
Oh yes, I'm sure.
Herb Albert said, a personal moment.
Herb Albert said, when he heard the first cut,
like, you know, he heard the first tape,
you know, this comes into his office.
Hey, these kids, listen.
He went, oh my God, what's happening?
And he decided, you know, rest is sort of history.
That personal moment.
I became enamored by that, this is how we do it.
And, you know, arc of one's career, you know,
eight years, 10 years, then it ends in a tragedy.
We know Karen Carpenter, like does not end well,
which let me go off on that tangent for a second.
You brilliantly talked about the sort of,
we're always creating, right?
We're never not creating.
And here's my language for it.
And this is where my doctorate kicks in a little bit.
It's from some quantum physics,
a little bit of Jungian therapy.
So there's light and shadow in the universe, right?
There's light and shadow in me.
Of course.
Of course, right?
And they're both creating.
So the shadow side, fear, all that,
we all know these words, is creating something.
It's very simple.
This is so important.
Our audience, you know, all of us get subject
to trying to divide the light and the darkness
as though it's one side or the other.
Thank you, Fox, CNN, and all you arguing journalists
that create that thing where it's like polarizing.
All that or all good.
No, but it's within, it's all within us, right?
So I'm grateful that you opened that.
Yeah, and it's like a double,
it's like that double helix thing.
It's sort of, they're always,
and they're always interacting with each other all the time.
Of course, the daily choice, the daily decision,
the daily mindset, to your point, you know,
what's the vision?
Because I'm always creating my future.
I'm never not.
So what am I seeing in my future start to,
will start to come into my reality?
Very simple.
Quantum physics, or, you know, metaphysics 101, right?
If I see it, I start to attract it.
You just gave me a diploma without $80,000.
Thank you.
Well, what's really fun that's happening in our world,
and I'd love, you know, you're about vision
and connecting dots and, you know,
the science world in quantum physics is now catching up
with spirituality and manifesting, like they're proving it.
You know, because when we look at something,
it actually changes the molecular structure
as we look at it.
They've proven it.
You go off and it's called the double,
the double slit experiment.
Like they figured out a way when I look at that,
it actually is real.
And if I don't see it, it goes away.
And this is wild stuff, you know?
So it's a kind of mind boggling
how to get your head around it.
But simply for those of you that are listening,
it's like, to your point, you know,
let's be conscious of the vision we're living into
because you will live into the vision.
