1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,360
So the big question is this, how do young men like us who didn't listen to society

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,840
who are on our own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:18,000
better tomorrow? That is the question and this show will give you the answers. My

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,920
name is James Rydzinski and welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show.

5
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:38,480
Welcome back everyone. So I want to talk about the reality of our situation.

6
00:00:38,480 --> 00:00:50,840
I'm not sure where this episode is headed to but let me just start talking. A couple days ago I

7
00:00:50,840 --> 00:01:00,200
discovered a ultimate reading list for human beings and it has 180 books for

8
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:12,680
all human beings to read. And as you guys know I'm a really strong, I'm a really

9
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:19,440
big fan of reality transfer and I know that book is very valuable. Hence why

10
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:27,640
I'm reading it a second time. And when I saw that reading list he wrote down an

11
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:33,120
article before he even gave the reading list so that before the reading list was

12
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:40,960
a couple pages of text and he was talking about different things. And one of

13
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:46,840
the things he said is that the first book you should read is reality

14
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:54,240
transfer. So he's essentially saying the foundation to living life as a human

15
00:01:54,240 --> 00:02:03,280
being is transurfing. So that's one thing. And another thing is that he is

16
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:12,520
probably 28 years old, 30 years old. And so he is 10 years ahead of me

17
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:20,320
essentially. At least 10 years ahead of me in life. And he's read a lot. He's a

18
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:26,080
very similar reader to me where he reads nonfiction, self-improvement books is

19
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,760
what it seems. Not even just self-improvement but books to just grow as a

20
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:41,560
human. And yeah. And I was reading through a couple of his, like I was reading

21
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:48,000
around his website and not just the reading list but other parts of the

22
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:54,680
website. Like his three-year long trip, his road trip, where he basically went

23
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:01,480
started at the northernmost point of North America and then ended at the

24
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:11,880
southernmost point in South America. So he was on a road trip for three

25
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:19,120
years with his friends. So he knows how to live the good life is basically what

26
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:25,240
I'm trying to say. And he wrote a book and he was actually reading many books

27
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:34,880
throughout his life and just especially over the past eight years, let's say. And

28
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,200
over the past eight years he was reading a lot, growing a lot as a human,

29
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:47,360
evolving a lot. And then also he went on that road trip. And then he wrote a book

30
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:54,040
and that book is called Dancing When the Music Stops. I'm pretty sure is what

31
00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:01,080
it's called. And he basically said that book is the result of the past eight

32
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,960
years of reading all these different books on this reading list and going on

33
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:15,680
this road trip. Now when I read his description of the book on his website,

34
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:24,200
my perspective on life shifted a bit. He talked about, and let me give some

35
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:31,480
context. I read through all of the 180 titles and on and his thoughts and

36
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:39,840
description about the books on his reading list. And there were probably 10, at

37
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:51,240
least five, like around five to 10 books about extinction, global warming, and the

38
00:04:51,240 --> 00:05:00,440
state of the earth and where it's headed. Basically, many books on that list are

39
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:13,160
saying that the world is dying right now and we only have a few decades left. So

40
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,560
when I, all throughout my life, I've heard of global warming. I just scoffed. I

41
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:24,000
not scoffed, but I was just like, oh, that sucks. But I never really saw the

42
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:33,320
impacts. And I never really realized how it affected me. And then something

43
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:41,120
changed in me yesterday where I actually read, I read through that reading list

44
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:47,720
and on his list of essential reads for human beings were a bunch of books about

45
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:53,080
the state of where the earth is headed. And for even more context, I'm working

46
00:05:53,080 --> 00:06:01,360
on basically escaping the game that we live in as a society. I'm basically

47
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:08,600
working on getting out of the 40 hour work week and the nine to five job. And

48
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:16,120
I'm basically working on freeing myself from all of the everything about society.

49
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:23,800
I'm basically trying to free myself from where I was headed, which was going to

50
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:30,280
college, working a nine to five for the rest of my life, living up to nothing,

51
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:43,440
becoming nobody. And to bring it back to the reading list, his comments about the

52
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:50,160
books were very astounding to me. They he was saying so as a matter of factly that

53
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:57,640
the world is dying in 2050, and we're all going to be gone. Or at least it's

54
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:04,800
going to be miserable. And he was saying that and the reason why I believe it now

55
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,760
is because I feel like the reason I believe in now is because he's not just

56
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:15,040
saying it. He's saying, yeah, this is happening, but still live your life and

57
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:21,880
still love life and still enjoy life. Like this is happening. Yes. But continue on

58
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,800
with your happiness and just find the joy of life. And so that's another reason

59
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:33,000
why that book, though that reading list is going to be so valuable because it'll

60
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:40,560
open up a lot of perspective to just new perspective about life because I've been

61
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:46,160
shaped for seven. My mind has been shaped for 17 years to basically stay in the

62
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:53,680
concrete jungle that I live in and never go off. And that's probably why I never

63
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,320
really noticed global warming because I've lived in a concrete jungle all my

64
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:09,400
life. I live in the suburbs. I live in the city. And I never really know what I

65
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,360
don't really know what I'm missing. I don't know what I'm losing when the

66
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,560
earth dies. I don't know all the nature. I've never had a chance to actually

67
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:28,600
experience nature in its entirety. And over the past couple, over the past couple

68
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:33,800
months during summer break, me and my friend would go to the park, which is

69
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:43,360
just this one block chunk of grass in the middle of my town. Just one block. So if

70
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:48,280
you don't know what a block is, it's basically one city block of houses. So

71
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:57,040
maybe 10, 15 houses just aligned next to each other. And then this is just one

72
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:07,440
block. And it's two houses. So imagine 10 houses just aligned next to each other.

73
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,280
And then imagine that twice with an alley in between. So that's one block is

74
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:17,720
what I'm defining as a block right now. And imagine no houses but that same

75
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:26,400
area but just grass. So it's not that big of a grass, but us going there has

76
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:31,520
started to shift our lives and change our lives. And that's just a tiny little

77
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:38,520
bit of grass. And so I and we were just we're in the grass, but our vision was

78
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:46,760
full of houses and civilization and structure. So I've never really experienced

79
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:54,080
true nature and just the jungle of the world. I never really experienced a

80
00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:00,360
jungle. I never experienced Antarctica. I've never experienced anywhere that is

81
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:09,360
not civilized. So I never really had the human experience that humans have had

82
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:24,240
over the past millennia. And so that's what I'm trying to say. Even if I hope

83
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,880
that the world doesn't die in 2050. But the fact that he said it as such a

84
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:35,600
matter of fact like the statement, it was just no nothing attributed to it. He was

85
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:43,760
just saying it like a normal conversation. That kind of struck a chord in me. And

86
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:50,080
then it made me think that I'm spending hours every day sitting in my room

87
00:10:50,080 --> 00:11:02,440
sitting in class inside of a building disconnected from nature. And in 30 years

88
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:09,520
nature is going to be gone. Nature as we know it will be gone. We're the last

89
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:18,600
generation to experience the earth as we know it. Now I'm not qualified at all to

90
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,880
speak on any of these anything about global warming because I haven't done

91
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:30,520
any research about it. But I'm using this not as a sense of despair and

92
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:39,360
sadness. I'm using it as a sense to help me push forward towards where I want

93
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:48,440
to be in life and push towards my goals and realize that I really am given a

94
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:56,400
special opportunity in life because if I'm the last generation to experience

95
00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:09,240
the earth as we know it, I sure as heck don't want to waste it. So another key

96
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:18,880
part that I want to speak on is a transfer for stays awake is always aware.

97
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:26,120
And in order to master outer intention you have to have awareness, reduced

98
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:32,800
importance, and let go of the goal. And awareness is a huge piece to

99
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:40,520
transurfing. And I believe that awareness is a huge piece to living life on your

100
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,560
own accord. And it's just a huge piece to living life because every time I fall

101
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:53,520
asleep in my day, which if you are new here, falling asleep, I refer to as just

102
00:12:53,520 --> 00:13:02,120
zoning out, losing presence, and immersing yourself in the game of life. So

103
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,440
whenever someone has a temper tantrum, they are immersed in the game. And

104
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,200
there's a lot of importance placed amongst whatever they're mad at. And

105
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:17,640
they are asleep essentially. So that's what I define as awareness, but that's

106
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:23,000
one extreme. You can still just zone out whenever if you've ever noticed, let's

107
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:28,520
say in class, you just stare at something and then you just zone out. That's

108
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,800
falling asleep as well. And if falling asleep can happen in the day to day

109
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:41,280
where you're just in normal conversation, you just fall asleep. So a

110
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:48,520
transfer for is aware and always awake. And if you're in, if let's just talk about

111
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:54,560
our dreams. So when you're sleeping at nighttime and you're dreaming, things

112
00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:59,560
just happen to you. That's because you're not aware, you're immersed in the game of

113
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:05,040
a dream. And you're not aware that it's just a game. You're not aware that you

114
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:12,200
can actually change things and control things. Not necessarily control, but you

115
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:17,040
can choose what you want.

116
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:36,480
What? No. Sorry, this is sorry I was interrupted. But what I was saying is

117
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:43,840
imagine when you're sleeping and you're in a dream when you're actually asleep

118
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:51,720
at nighttime, you're just, things just happen to you and you're kind of the

119
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:56,200
victim of circumstance. Things just happen and you don't really get to choose

120
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,600
what happens in life and you kind of just are at the will of others in your

121
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:07,120
dreams. Now what if I were to tell you that that's exactly how it is in real

122
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:15,560
life. And that's why people, that's why most of society work on 9 to 5. And

123
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:24,240
that's why there's only a select few who achieve greatness. And it's because

124
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:31,440
everyone is asleep and they're immersed in the game of life. And they don't

125
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,680
understand that they can actually choose. But the way you can just choose, you

126
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,440
have to be awake to choose. You have to be vigilant. And that's, if you've ever

127
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,880
heard of a lucid dream, that's essentially what it is. In a dream, if

128
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:50,520
someone realizes that it's just a dream, they wake up in the dream and they're

129
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,400
like, oh, it's just a dream. I can do whatever I want now. And then they're

130
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,240
lucid. So then they, that's when they have a lot of awareness and a lot of

131
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:03,880
vigilance. And then they basically get to live life of their own accord in the

132
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,520
dream. And they get to do whatever they want. They choose whatever they want. Now

133
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:17,640
that's exactly how life is. Life is the same as a dream in that sense. Except

134
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:27,440
life is kind of like tar or resin or molasses where it's slow moving. If you've

135
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:34,400
ever been lucid in a dream and you try to make something appear or you try to

136
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:42,000
shift scenery or you try to fly, it all happens instantly. And that's because a

137
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:47,600
dream is kind of like water. That's the texture. It's easily movable. Or let's

138
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:52,640
just say a dream is like air. You can move through air at your will easily. And

139
00:16:52,640 --> 00:17:03,040
things manifest in a dream as easy as you move around in air. So outer intention

140
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:12,800
has no friction essentially. But then in real life, it's all the same properties

141
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:21,560
except it's not air that you're in. You're in tar or resin or molasses. Some slow

142
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:27,360
moving substance. So things take a little bit longer to manifest into real life.

143
00:17:27,360 --> 00:17:34,880
That's why you can't instantly change. You can't instantly summon an apple on

144
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:45,760
your desk. Because it's where real life is like tar. It's like moving around in a

145
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:55,840
pile of tar. It's slow moving. Dreaming is quick. Like move your hand in the air

146
00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:01,320
around right now. It's quick. There's no tension. There's no resistance. But

147
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,560
imagine if you were to move your hand in in water. There'd be a little bit more

148
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:11,120
resistance. It wouldn't be as easy. Now imagine trying to move your hand in

149
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:17,400
molasses. Have you heard of the term slow as molasses? Because molasses takes a

150
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:30,520
long time to fall out of the jar. So it takes a lot longer. And in the first,

151
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,720
remember the first rule of gaining outer intention, which I haven't even

152
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:40,200
explained outer intention yet. Outer intention is basically the will to have.

153
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,360
So it's basically allowing yourself to have something. And then the world gets

154
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:51,520
it for you. And this is what every... this is what all the people are doing that

155
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,760
know how the world works. They use outer intention. Outer intention is basically

156
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:03,280
achieving your... letting your goals achieve themselves, basically. Now I don't

157
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,280
even understand what outer intention is. And that's why I'm giving you such a vague

158
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:14,680
explanation. But I have a conceptual idea of what it is. And I know how to enact it.

159
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,560
And it's activated through the heart, the unity of the heart and mind. So when

160
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,560
your heart and when your soul and mind both want something and they agree that

161
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:31,600
you want it, then outer intention will be activated. But you have to be awake. And

162
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:37,000
that's all there is to it. You have to be vigilant and awake and aware. That's the

163
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:46,160
difference between me and Vadim Zellan. There's a lot of differences, but Vadim

164
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:53,360
Zellan is awake. I don't know how much. Let's just say 90% of the day. 100% of the

165
00:19:53,360 --> 00:20:00,800
day. He is awake all the time. So he gets to choose. He's basically living life

166
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:06,320
like a lucid dream in the sense that he gets to choose whatever he wants because

167
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:13,040
he's awake at all times. Now me, I'm awake 10% of the day. 5% of the day. I don't

168
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:23,120
know. Maybe 50% of the day. I don't know. But it's definitely not enough to... It's

169
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:32,200
enough to activate outer intention, but it's not enough to get where I want. Now

170
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:40,240
I'll get where I want, but it'll take a lot longer. And if you want to... And even...

171
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:46,840
Let's just change shift the theme. I'm talking about staying awake to achieve

172
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:52,120
your goals. What about staying awake to live life? Because if everyone knows that

173
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:56,800
once you fall asleep, you kind of just skip time and you kind of teleport to the

174
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:02,600
next time where you're awake. That's how I feel at least. And so if you want to

175
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:12,080
start living your life fully to its fullest, then stay awake all the time.

176
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:18,560
And that's another thing I want to talk about. The reason why people fall asleep...

177
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:24,280
The reason why people fall asleep is because it's a defense mechanism. You're

178
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,840
trying to hide away from the harshness of reality. People don't like reality. And

179
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:38,080
so they fall asleep to protect themselves from that reality. But what it

180
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,000
actually is doing is reducing your influence on the world and it's taking

181
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:56,720
away your ability of choice. Let me get some water.

182
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:19,920
So this is all there is to it. That's all there is to it. Staying awake all day.

183
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:30,360
Realizing that it's just a game. Life is not all that. It's not the game that you

184
00:22:30,360 --> 00:22:39,440
think it is. And I'm just beginning on this journey. And I'm starting to realize

185
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:45,480
that there's so much more to life and there's so much more to learn. And that's

186
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:50,880
why I've been talking about this reading list so much lately. It's because this is

187
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:55,520
really the next part of my life, I believe. I believe that this is the next

188
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:04,520
stage of reading. After I've before a couple weeks ago, my plan for when I was

189
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:14,720
finishing Transurfing was to read business books more, reread.com secrets,

190
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:23,640
finish expert secrets, read The Lynch Pin by Russell Brunson, and do all this

191
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:33,080
stuff. But I know that the next stage is reading these books in the reading list.

192
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:39,720
Because a lot of these books he was saying are unheard of. No one knows about

193
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:48,760
them. And a lot of these books he's saying that you need to read it. And I'm

194
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:53,520
gonna I'm believing him, I'm trusting him on this. He's done a good job selling

195
00:23:53,520 --> 00:24:00,280
me. Maybe I sold myself. I don't know but there's something there is something to

196
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:07,320
it. And the last time I felt this, I just know that there is something to it. And I

197
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,800
don't even remember the last time I felt this, but I know that I felt this before.

198
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,840
I can't put my finger to what.

199
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:27,200
But with that said, let's switch topics to comfort zone. As you guys here, let me

200
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:32,800
give you some context just in case you guys aren't, haven't heard. A couple

201
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,960
weeks ago I started expanding my comfort zone. I started out through emailing

202
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:43,440
random businesses, local businesses. And then I started cold calling random

203
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:51,320
businesses. And then, and then once that got too easy, I started going in person

204
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:57,080
to random businesses and talking to them. And I did this once a day for five

205
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:03,120
days. And then on the fifth day, it became easy and it became comfortable. And it

206
00:25:03,120 --> 00:25:09,640
entered into my comfort zone. Now my framework is it takes five days once a

207
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:14,840
day every five days until it gets into your comfort zone. And the first day is

208
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:21,480
100% difficulty. It's 100% discomfort and you 100% don't want to do it. The

209
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:29,040
second day is 50%. It becomes that much easier. And then the third day 25%, that

210
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:34,680
much easier. And then the fourth day, 10%. And then the fifth day, it's in your

211
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:43,960
comfort zone. And so far I've only tested it really with going in person to

212
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:52,520
businesses. And now I'm testing it with cold approaching girls. So three weeks

213
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,960
ago probably I went to the mall for the first time. I think it was probably two

214
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:04,960
and a half weeks ago. I don't know. It was on episode 20, I believe it was. And I

215
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,800
went to the mall for the first time and cold approached girls my age and just

216
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:16,440
asked for their numbers and talked to them. That was extremely uncomfortable. And

217
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:24,040
then the second time last weekend, I think it was, we did the same thing. Me and

218
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:32,640
my friend Franklin, we did the same thing and it was still uncomfortable. Maybe

219
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:41,520
50% or 60%. Now we're gonna go again tomorrow, which is Saturday, and we're

220
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:48,000
gonna go again on Sunday. And I'm gonna try and figure out how to make it happen.

221
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:57,040
This is one of another very important thing. And we did that, but

222
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,840
we're also gonna add another piece to it. I just read the other day in

223
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:09,920
Transurfing that if you create a positive slide in your head, so a slide is

224
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,680
something that you hold in your head that others are not. So for example, if

225
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:20,040
you're thinking I'm ugly and you just constantly repeat that in your head over

226
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:23,160
and over again, no one else is thinking that because everyone else is just

227
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:28,520
thinking about themselves. And if you want proof, just ask yourself, do you ever

228
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:33,360
think about other people? No, you think about yourself. Or at least you think

229
00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:42,320
about how you yourself is. And then that slide affects your actions and then

230
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:54,760
also affects just your thoughts too. So then, but you can flip it, you can have a

231
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:59,400
positive slide to where you imagine yourself, you visualize yourself in the

232
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,680
first person perspective, like it's in real life. You visualize yourself

233
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:12,960
calmly, confidently talking to girls. That's actually my side, confidence around

234
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:20,560
girls and comfortable around girls. And so I started that slide maybe two nights

235
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:30,160
ago. And I'm planning on using it tomorrow. And let me explain. If you have

236
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:35,880
that slide, it will slowly start to ingrain into your life until it dissolves.

237
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:43,120
And then once it dissolves, it's in your life. And you are that slide. But that

238
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:48,800
process is slow. And like I said, that slide affects your actions. So you run

239
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,800
that slide in your head and it starts to increase your comfort zone. And then

240
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:58,120
you'll start to act like that slide slowly, but surely. And then eventually you

241
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:02,720
will take that slide into you and it will dissolve into you and it will become

242
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:11,360
you. But there's a way you can quickly and effectively speed up the process. And

243
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:17,400
it's to talk to strangers while running the slide. And it's because they don't

244
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:22,680
have any impression on you. They've just met you. So if you run that slide, acting

245
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:30,600
confidently and being who you are in that side, living that slide out, then they

246
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:36,120
will have that impression on you of you. And then that side will become quicker

247
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:44,480
and quicker to ingrain into you. And so that's what we plan on on doing tomorrow

248
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,560
when we go to the mall. We're going to run that slide of being confident and

249
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,840
comfortable. And then we're going to talk to a bunch of random girls,

250
00:29:51,840 --> 00:30:02,840
strangers that we've never met before. And that will have a double effect. It

251
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:08,080
will that slide will materialize and it will be quicker to materialize. But we

252
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:14,320
will also be practicing our comfort zone. So we're practicing in real life, in

253
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:24,840
reality. But we're also practicing mentally. So it's a double effect. And

254
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:30,360
tomorrow will be the third. And then on Sunday will be the fourth day that we do

255
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:41,680
cold approach. So as you can imagine, we are getting closer to being comfortable

256
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:49,240
around girls. And I actually experienced this this morning in my gym class. So if

257
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:54,400
you for context, if you guys didn't hear previous episodes, in my gym class, I'm

258
00:30:54,400 --> 00:31:01,960
a senior in high school, by the way, in my gym class, we are in a class called

259
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:07,280
adventure ed in a unit, our unit right now that we're in is as a kayaking unit.

260
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:12,640
So we're in the pool. So we're in our pool attire swimsuit shirtless. And it's a

261
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:22,280
coed class. So the girls are in there too, in their swimsuits. And there's this

262
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:27,880
one girl in my class that is cute. There's multiple girls, but there's this

263
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:33,680
one girl in particular that's cute that I hadn't had the privilege to talk to

264
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:39,800
her until today. And then today we were talking. And I was comfortable. I was

265
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:47,200
calm and confident talking to her. And so that just shows me how much I've grown

266
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:53,120
because if I had that same situation two or four weeks ago, I definitely would

267
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:59,520
not have been so comfortable and calm and confident. And that situation would

268
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:07,400
not have played out so well. Because it's also another thing. There's a mental

269
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:14,640
aspect to this. It's that I'm trying to say this humbly, and I'm just giving

270
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:19,640
context. But this is how I speak to myself. When I'm alone, I just speak to

271
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:25,560
myself. I'm like, I'm jacked, I can do whatever I want. And I just say that to

272
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:30,160
myself in response to whenever I feel insecure about certain things. For

273
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:41,520
example, I felt insecure that I went commando and I wasn't wearing underwear,

274
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,800
but I was wearing shorts. And I was like, I'm jacked, I can do whatever I want. And

275
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:51,720
then this is just self talk that I talk to myself. And it's completely positive.

276
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:59,880
It's entirely constructive. There's no toxic around it. And then another way

277
00:32:59,880 --> 00:33:04,640
that I talk to myself is, but I don't talk to myself this way. I just remind

278
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,240
myself that this is what I'm working towards and this is what I need to fix.

279
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:16,920
And it's that I'm jacked. I shouldn't be uncomfortable in social situations. I

280
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:24,840
shouldn't be nervous around girls. I shouldn't be not confident. I should be

281
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:33,760
confident. I'm jacked. I deserve more. I need more. And so that pushes me because

282
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:41,000
I'm thinking, man, this is embarrassing how I'm nervous around girls. This is

283
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:46,440
embarrassing how I'm nervous in social situations. And I'm still like this

284
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,680
today. I'm still nervous around girls. I'm still embarrassed in social

285
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:57,680
situations. And so this pushes me to do the hard things that are required to get

286
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:01,560
to that point to where I'm no longer nervous around girls and I'm confident

287
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:08,840
and I'm no longer nervous in social situations. But you got to make sure

288
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:15,080
that you do it entirely constructive because a lot of the times self talk

289
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:24,760
can go on its own and go off on its own tangent and become toxic and be to your

290
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,400
detriment. And that when that happens, that's when you fall asleep. You have to

291
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:36,080
be awake and conscious and present when you're doing self talk. Or else a lot of

292
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:42,920
the times it can go off to the negative. And once you realize and

293
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:49,560
you're attuned to that and you realize that, oh, this is negative, just note that

294
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:55,840
it happened and just switch immediately switch to a more positive or just

295
00:34:55,840 --> 00:35:01,600
immediately clear your mind. Don't beat yourself up that you failed. Because let

296
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:11,080
me tell you another story. Maybe a month ago, I was, I started being present and I

297
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:15,600
started learning about this thing. Actually, I learned a long time ago, but

298
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,960
maybe five months ago is when I started actually learning about

299
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:25,120
Transurfing. But a couple months ago is when I actually started applying being

300
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:31,120
present and actually realizing that being awake is the next thing that I need

301
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:36,840
to focus on and actually focusing on it. So let's say a month ago I started waking

302
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:45,120
up in life. So I woke up five times. That means I woke up from my sleep five

303
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:57,440
times in a day. And then today, let's talk about four days ago because this is

304
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:02,360
when I was, I'll talk about this from the perspective of four days ago. Four days

305
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:11,160
ago, I would wake up maybe 40 times per day. And now I interpreted that as me

306
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:16,440
falling down and me failing because I realized that I was waking up from my

307
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:27,200
sleep way more. So I, a month ago, I was only waking up five times. So that means

308
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:34,600
that I interpreted it as it meaning I was, I only needed to wake up five times

309
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,480
per day. So I was only asleep five times per day. That's what I was

310
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:44,760
interpreting it as. I was asleep five times per day. But then four days ago,

311
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:51,600
after all that progress of getting better, I was waking, I was asleep 40 times

312
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:55,760
per day and I was waking up 40 times per day. That's what I interpreted as that

313
00:36:55,760 --> 00:37:01,040
I was asleep 40 times per day. So I saw that as negative. I saw that as a

314
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:08,120
downhill growth. I saw that as the opposite of growth, me failing. But then I

315
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:16,800
came to the epiphany the other day that it's not actually like that. It's a month

316
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:21,560
ago I was awake. I only had the opportunity to wake up five times per day.

317
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:29,640
But four days ago, I had the opportunity to wake up 40 times per day. So I was up

318
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:37,880
eight times more than I was a month ago. And that is growth. And then once I

319
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:42,720
realized that my mood in the day immediately shifted. It was actually

320
00:37:42,720 --> 00:37:48,320
crazy because the whole morning I was down and I was just going through the

321
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:53,440
motions of the day. And I was asleep a lot of the day because of my low mood. But

322
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,040
then once I realized that I was interpreting the whole thing absolutely

323
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:09,080
wrong, my mood shifted just like that, just in an instant. And then I had a

324
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:20,920
positive outlook into life and I was positive. I had a positive mood. So when

325
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:28,360
you start, and this is one of the things that I started being conscious of after

326
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:35,600
that experience, I started every single time I wake up, I would be, I would always

327
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,480
interpret it as good. I wouldn't interpret it as I failed because that's, that

328
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:44,720
was the negative mindset I had a couple weeks, a couple days ago actually. I would

329
00:38:44,720 --> 00:38:49,880
always interpret me waking up as a failure because that meant that I was

330
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:57,080
asleep before. But now I shifted my mindset and now I always interpret me

331
00:38:57,080 --> 00:39:02,880
waking up as good because I woke up. So that alone is good. Before I was

332
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:09,160
interpreting the fact that I was asleep. But now I disregard that. I know that I

333
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:14,040
was asleep and I know I have work to do. But I always interpret the fact that I

334
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:19,800
woke up as good because that means my inner guardian was working and it was

335
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:26,600
vigilant. So that's another tip for staying present and staying awake in

336
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:38,240
life. Always interpret, always always always interpret waking up as good. If you

337
00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:44,080
wake up in any situation it's good. Even if you're asleep the entire day, 12 hours

338
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:51,720
long and you only wake up once in that day, that's good. Now it's not good that

339
00:39:51,720 --> 00:39:56,920
you were asleep 12 hours but it's good that you woke up. Always interpret it as

340
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:02,600
good. And then if you were asleep for 12 hours straight you got some work to do.

341
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:10,200
Just know that. It's all about your mindset. Everything in life, every self

342
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:16,560
improvement thing is all about your mindset. That's why I'm focusing so hard

343
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:22,360
on mindset. A couple months ago, maybe five months ago, I bought reality

344
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:30,920
Transurfing in March of 2023 and right now is August of 2023. I bought reality

345
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:40,720
Transurfing because I knew at that point I was focusing on my physical, my health

346
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:48,600
and I was focusing on my conditioning, my weights, my physique. I was focusing on

347
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:55,720
all these physical aspects. My body was in very good shape. I was healthy, all of

348
00:40:55,720 --> 00:41:02,440
that. But I knew that my mind was not as good and I didn't pay enough attention

349
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:09,520
to my mind. So then I slowly but surely started to learn more about my mind and

350
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:14,200
it took me five months to get to this point. And to be honest, I didn't actually

351
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:22,960
start getting results and getting progress until the past maybe month or two.

352
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:30,200
So it's a long journey but it doesn't have to be. Maybe it does, I don't know.

353
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:36,280
But just know that it'll take a little bit. And I'm not sure if that's

354
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:42,280
the best advice to give but it's just what I'm thinking at the moment.

355
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:45,840
Let me get some water.

356
00:41:45,840 --> 00:42:08,960
So I want to talk about reading. As I was talking about earlier in this episode,

357
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:14,440
the next stage in my life will be unlocked through reading. And that's

358
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:21,280
because this guy had lived eight years and written all of these

359
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:25,400
experiences and all this knowledge from he got from eight years worth of

360
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:33,960
reading and living life in one book. And all of these other books are knowledge

361
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:43,480
that these people have lived throughout their lives. So reading really, so think

362
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:48,600
about like this. If you're in a situation that you're not happy about, that's

363
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:55,200
because, so for example for me right now, I'm happy about this situation I'm in

364
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:04,040
but if I could go back I would change it for the better. So let me explain what I

365
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:11,880
mean by that. I'm 17 years old right now. For the past 17 years I've been

366
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:18,240
molded and my brain has been molded and my life as a result has been molded

367
00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:27,120
because your thoughts and your thinking affect your actions. So the society has

368
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:33,200
molded my brain. Now we all get to choose what we want in life. So we choose

369
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:40,280
where we get in life but to be able to choose you have to actually choose. And

370
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:48,380
what society does is it molds your brain to where you choose worse. You choose

371
00:43:48,380 --> 00:43:57,680
less. You choose not good. And so for the past 17 years of my life and still to

372
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:05,520
this day society is molding my brain to its benefit not to mine. Society is

373
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:14,240
molding my brain to hold me down to keep me back to keep me down. And now that I'm

374
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:20,280
become conscious of this I'm going on this journey to reshape my brain and

375
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:28,280
shape it to how I want and shape it to allow me to achieve whatever I want. Now

376
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:34,040
this won't take this will this will take a long time. This won't be an easy

377
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:41,320
this will not be a quick process. And I started doing it maybe five months ago

378
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:48,440
and I'm starting consciously doing it right now because I know that

379
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:54,680
Transurfing is the foundation to what I need to what I need to live the human

380
00:44:54,680 --> 00:45:03,440
experience the ultimate human experience. And then all these 180 books are the

381
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:12,080
castle on top of this amazing strong foundation that I'm building. So that's

382
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:17,280
why I'm finishing Reality Transurfing the second time while studying it. And then

383
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:24,080
I'm getting right into these books because reading shifts your brain reading

384
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:30,040
molds your brain. This is already a known thing. Your subconscious takes that

385
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:35,560
stuff in and then helps you make better decisions. And it actually shifts your

386
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:41,280
worldview. Transurfing reading Transurfing shifted my worldview. So now I make

387
00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:46,600
better decisions and I'm able to make better decisions. And I just have a

388
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:53,680
beginner worldview. My worldview is still mostly 17 years of society's conditioning.

389
00:45:53,680 --> 00:46:03,000
So now in the upcoming future in the neck over the next year or two I'll be

390
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:10,240
reading these books and re shifting my brain re shifting my worldview my

391
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:18,080
mindset and it will change me it will slowly but surely change me if you look

392
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:26,200
at me now and then you compare me to one year from now you will see the

393
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:33,720
difference. But if you look at me now and then look at me tomorrow you may be

394
00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:37,520
able to see the difference but it will be minor there will be barely anything

395
00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:45,760
you probably won't even be able to see the difference. That's what it is it's

396
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:52,000
over the long term. And one year is not even that long it's just reading and

397
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:57,520
plus I will still be living my life because I don't look at my phone anymore

398
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,800
I don't spend time on my phone I don't waste my time anymore. I used to spend

399
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:08,280
hours every day on my phone wasting away. Now I don't spend any time on my phone

400
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:17,880
and now I spend hours every day reading. That's not a waste. I don't want to talk

401
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:23,320
about the unity of the heart and mind that I touched on earlier. That's that's

402
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:28,800
one of the that's how you use outer intention at your will by unifying

403
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:35,520
your heart and mind. So if your heart agrees and your mind agrees on something

404
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:45,160
that will come true. But in order to for your mind to agree on something it has to

405
00:47:45,160 --> 00:47:54,280
fit into its worldview. So your heart can agree that you can make an apple up here

406
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:59,400
or your heart can agree that you can move that pen on your desk to the side

407
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:04,080
without touching it. But your mind will definitely not agree because that's not

408
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:08,440
in its worldview. Your mind knows your mind thinks that that's not possible

409
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:14,520
because its worldview of 17 years. I'm just using 17 year old as an example like

410
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:19,280
myself. Your it's worldview of 17 years says that it's not possible. You have to

411
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:24,160
actually pick it up and move it with your your hands if it want if you want to

412
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:30,440
move it. Your heart could agree that your heart could know that it's possible but

413
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:38,560
your mind does not. And so that's another reason why I want to read because

414
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:44,720
reading changes your worldview and adds things in. If you read all about how

415
00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:49,560
doing the impossible is possible then that will slowly but surely be

416
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:55,040
incorporated into your worldview and then you will begin after a while you will

417
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:59,960
begin to believe in that stuff so then you're you will be able to get your mind

418
00:48:59,960 --> 00:49:05,880
to agree. So your heart will agree that you can move that pen to the side. Right

419
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:12,280
now your mind cannot but in a year in two years in ten years your mind will

420
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:19,120
agree finally after all of this change of your worldview your mind will agree that

421
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:26,560
you can move it and then it will move. And this I was just using the pen as an

422
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:32,680
example but this is so much deeper than just a pen. This is all about getting

423
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:38,120
what you want in life choosing your lot in life. This is all about living of your

424
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:48,000
own accord. This is all about doing what you want living life. Do you want life to

425
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,680
live without you or do you want to live with life? Because right now most people

426
00:49:52,680 --> 00:50:00,920
are kind of just strolling by but you need to bow if you want if you know

427
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:06,400
there's more if you know there's more to the world and there's more for you out

428
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:12,760
there you need to start waking up and you need to change your worldview start

429
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:17,520
shaping it and it will not be easy. You need to cut off all of your electronics

430
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:23,160
and I hope I'm not scaring you. You need to cut off your phone. Don't don't you

431
00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,840
don't need to cut off everything and you don't need to do it abruptly. Just

432
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:32,480
slowly but surely it took I when I first got into reading I was still using my

433
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:37,720
phone I was still watching YouTube but I was reading and then I realized that I

434
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:41,760
wanted more time to read. I wanted and then slowly but surely I was making

435
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:46,040
tiny little changes over time unconsciously. I was not conscious about

436
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:52,320
most of this stuff and I didn't realize how it all was connected but then slowly

437
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:58,440
but surely eventually I cut out my phone and then I I still haven't cut out my

438
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,760
phone I still use it every once in a while but I'm only using it at most

439
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:06,760
once a day. I don't bring it to school anymore I leave it in my basement all

440
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:17,320
the time and just this stuff won't happen instantly. You have to slowly but surely

441
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:24,160
change things and this is something I have to keep reminding myself as well

442
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:29,640
because I'm still on the grow I'm still on the journey with you guys. I still want

443
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:36,440
to grow I still am striving for growth. I may or may not be ahead of you or

444
00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:43,280
behind you but the thing I'm trying to say is that you have to have patience

445
00:51:43,280 --> 00:52:10,120
and it does not come instantly. Let me get some water.

446
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:24,440
So I started reading a book called The Alchemist and I'm reading it for multiple

447
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:29,880
reasons. One is because I've had a desire to read this over the course of a

448
00:52:29,880 --> 00:52:35,160
couple months but I never wanted to because it was fiction and I just wanted

449
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:41,480
to focus on nonfiction but this and I also wanted to read it because it was

450
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:50,920
on Hamza's reading list. But the reason why I am reading it is because I have to

451
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:58,640
read a book for 20 minutes a day two times a week. We get reading time in my

452
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:08,200
class for English two times a week so I am taking advantage of that. I'm not

453
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:12,880
reading Transurfing during that because I want to have focus and I don't want to

454
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,140
be distracted while I'm reading it. I just want to read Transurfing at full

455
00:53:17,140 --> 00:53:27,280
focus and I'm not reading Expert Secrets for the same reason. So that just leaves

456
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:32,760
well I also am reading the Alchemist because my teacher is requiring a

457
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:42,560
novel so I am doing that and yeah I actually think that this book will be

458
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:50,160
good for me because so far I've seen some pretty good pieces of knowledge and

459
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:56,840
pieces of wisdom from it. One of the things that I learned about in it was

460
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:03,640
the most extraordinary things in life are always the simple things. Now I may

461
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,880
be butchering that quote but in the beginning the first I believe it was

462
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:14,480
page 22 on the book when he was talking to the fortune teller woman or the dream

463
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:21,680
the dream meaning woman. He was meeting with a woman an old woman who could

464
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:28,160
interpret dreams because he had a reoccurring dream and the dream was about

465
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:37,640
the Egyptian temples so in the beginning of the dream he was at his home

466
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:46,120
which he doesn't he was actually at let me get some context first. He is a

467
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:55,360
shepherd so he travels around with his flock of sheep so in the dream he was in

468
00:54:55,360 --> 00:55:02,680
a prairie with his sheep and a kid started playing with the sheep and then

469
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:09,320
the kid grabbed him by his hand and took him to the Egyptian temples or the

470
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:16,040
Egyptian pyramids and when I read that I immediately thought of the fourth or

471
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:21,480
fifth book on the reading list which is about the Egyptian pyramids so I'm really

472
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:29,720
excited to read about those but I also remember outer intention and how they

473
00:55:29,720 --> 00:55:37,560
built the pyramids through outer intention but he took him to the pyramid

474
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:42,200
and I'm pretty sure he said there's a treasure waiting for you or something

475
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:49,040
like that and that was the end of the dream he never he woke up before the

476
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:56,920
dream ended every time so when he went to this woman to interpret his dream the

477
00:55:56,920 --> 00:56:06,200
woman basically said this dream means that you need to go to Egypt and go get

478
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:14,440
the treasure and he was mad because he wanted an actual interpretation because

479
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,360
he thought there's more to it now I'm just in the beginning so I don't know

480
00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:28,480
what happens I just finished reading that part but the woman said it's always

481
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:34,320
the simplest things in life that are the most extraordinary or some variation of

482
00:56:34,320 --> 00:56:43,960
that phrase and that really made me realize that that is true because nature

483
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:50,440
is simple but it's the most extraordinary thing ever and I don't know

484
00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:57,040
anything about it I've never I never got I never really got to experience true

485
00:56:57,040 --> 00:57:06,040
nature and to be honest I never really had a longing for it until recently

486
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:16,160
especially recently when I realized that it's gonna be gone soon so now I have a

487
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:31,200
longing to experience nature that's not and that's another motivational factor so

488
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:38,960
this is this is another thing that I've been another slide that I've been running

489
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:46,280
trying to get better at podcasting I have a slide where I imagine myself knowing

490
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:52,280
exactly what to talk about and exactly what to say exactly when to say it

491
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:59,000
exactly how to say it and I don't really run that slide very often but that is

492
00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:06,520
one of the things that I've been thinking about and I'm on episode 37 I've

493
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:13,320
recorded 38 episodes I've posted and I've recorded 14 episodes that I haven't

494
00:58:13,320 --> 00:58:20,840
posted before I started recording so I work I've been recording every day for

495
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:32,000
the past 51 days so I've been practicing every day for the past 51 days and I've

496
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:48,680
recorded 51 episodes no 52 52 days 52 episodes so that's honestly 52 days very

497
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:54,160
good practice and I didn't actually start record I didn't actually start doing

498
00:58:54,160 --> 00:59:05,720
one hour long episodes until episode 15 so it's been 22 I probably have 30 to 40

499
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:13,720
hours of practice on podcasting so right now I'm at 30 to 40 hours of practice

500
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:26,680
probably even less to be honest maybe 30 hours which is not that much 30 hours

501
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,920
over 51 days

502
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:39,880
honestly I'm on episode 30 37 I'm really looking forward to I'm on I'm really

503
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:46,040
