Welcome to Soul Decodes. Join us as we wander off the path to find the ideas that fascinate. We talk about spirituality, the mind, the ego, wellness and hidden history with tips, travels and tales. Charms for a better life.
Hello, hello everybody and welcome back. My name is Dr. Tijole Phillips and once again in the Treehouse Studio. I'm across from the lovely Sarah Teary. Welcome back. Hi darling, lovely to be here again. How have you been since last time?
I'm crushing it. Crushing it. I love that. That's a good thing. Well tell me what does that even mean? Crushing it means that you're living in alignment with your soul and you've got your ego mind in abeyance. It's there. You've restrained it. You've restrained any type of negative thinking when it comes into your mind. You just flush it through and then you come back to presence and then you're crushing it.
So, so is this stuff like you, like one thing I observed when I first met you like way way back when what's it like eight months? Yes, it's been a while. It's been a while now. But you, you've read so many books. Yeah. And I know the first time I went to your property, you said when you have your Earth Angel Complex, I'm going to donate these books. Yes. And I was just like what? There's so many books here. Yeah. How do you read so many books?
Like what goes through your mind? Like, well, I asked this because I'm not a very fast reader. Like I'm a very technical reader. So it takes me like you might go through 10 to 1 books in terms of speed. But what inspires you to read so much? Okay. So as a child in 1970s England, so let's go back. I was born in 66. In 1976, it was boring.
There's nothing to do compared to today. There wasn't many distractions. So I had my friends, you have three channels on the TV, and they were boring, a lot of them. And then you have books. And so reading as a child was a form of entertainment. I would have been bored. Otherwise, now it's more difficult with children because there's so many distractions, so many platforms, you've got tic tock.
You've also it's harder for kids now. So it was just ingrained in me and I read Enid Blight and the famous five. I love that series. And this is funny. So next door to us with these flight attendants, there's a group of flight attendants, three of them, they were living and together in this house next to ours. And it was when Freddie Laker had an airline. Do you remember ever remember the English guy, Freddie Laker? So late Laker Airways was he had the SkyTrain and his flights were from Gatwick to New York. And I think that's the first time I've ever heard of that.
And I think maybe to Miami. But the flight attendants live there. So what they used to do is bring books back from that people had left on the plane given to my mom. My mom would give them to me because she's so busy working three jobs. So I was reading Jacqueline Suzanne. I was reading shit that I shouldn't have been reading.
It's like, wait a minute, they can do white with. Holy moly. Amityville. So I was reading very adult content age 10 and there was a whole new world for me. So that's when my love of reading started. And then I had, I guess you could call it a spiritual awakening when I was 33. And I prayed and I had every material comfort you could possibly have loads of money, beautiful, big house, fast car.
And I wasn't happy. So I prayed and I'm like, better fucking tell me what's going on because I thought that if I got all this, I would be happy and I wasn't. And I realized I was in a low grade depression. So after I prayed, I had this encounter and we can talk about that at another time.
But it was an encounter with myself. And then I just started reading because I wanted to get knowledge about the nature of this existence, reality, my place in. So I was reading spirituality, religion about the mind. And I was just, how would you, avaricious. I've just exploded. I just wanted knowledge.
And I love reading anyway. So basically over the last 25 years, and I still do this, I listen to audio a lot now as well. But I want to hear every opinion about the nature of this reality because I'm building a belief system. So I'm pretty airtight on it. But there could be things I'm missing. There could be things other people know that I don't. So that's why I read to gain knowledge. And I was trained to read as a child because it was boring. Otherwise,
so I'm going to, I'm going to say, go to your room. Here you go, baby. Read the books. So I hope to challenge that because I want to expand your, your belief systems. And like, yeah, that's what we all should be doing. But for those of you listening, like this is fascinating because like you're basically one of the friends that I've always wanted to have. Because just from our very first conversations, there's this resonance, this mutual respect where, like you said in previous
podcasts with me, you know, we may disagree on things, but we respect each other to just be open. I don't need to agree with everyone. Why is everyone so hell bent on someone agreeing? Well, you know, it's, what it is, it's this, it's the left brain. Because when you look at physiologically, you probably know this already, but there's left brain and there's right brain. Some people say male or female brain or whatever. It's, it's basically a different way of looking at it. There's the, the part of the brain that's
the analytical, that's your left brain, that's your left brain. And it's going to be doing the, the, the checklists. You know, that's the pilot brain. You're doing the checklists and the flow and making sure you don't miss something. And that's very left brain. It's very sequential. It's, it's actually linear too, to a large degree. And then there's the right brain, which is the esoteric, the creative. And so in one regard, like that, the, the idea of masculine, feminine brain,
does make sense if you want to apply that. Because like, if you're, if you're looking at a playground, you know, back when we were children and there's a whole bunch of people playing kickball, like in general, the, the guys are going to be like task oriented, ABC one, two, three, kick the ball, get to first base, make sure I don't get tagged. But then at some point, you know, somebody trips and skins their knee, right? They're, they're, they trip in there. What do you do?
What you're going to see then is you're going to see the guys are like, okay, they're still breathing. I got to get to second base. Like they're task oriented. Like, so that's a very, that's a very task.
Well, that would be how civilizations were built.
Right. And this is why I'm bringing this up because we're talking about the playground here, but it also scales to where we are today. And, and there's this missing dimension of what these earth people are, are experiencing and why we have so many problems.
We're out of balance. Yes. So, so, which is great news because it's actually a simple problem with a simple solution. Just get more balanced in your life. Just bring balance. So on the playground, you've got the guys will sit there and look and say, oh, so and so skin their knee, but they're still breathing.
So let's get the second or third base and leave them there. They'll be fine. Right. They're going to be fine. Right. But what you'll find is that the girls will circle around and just like, oh, you know, get some water.
Yes. Get nurturing, you know, collectively the girls will circle around and collectively help. But they're also problem solving as well. But they are in a different way. Yes. Exactly. So there's different ways of approaching this.
It's not a judgment call. It's more of a recognition that we have this, this sequential part of ourself. That's this analytical drive, which is important. But there's also, it's also important that we take a step back and just kind of let that dream world.
The esoteric shut down the monkey brain. Right. Yes. Shut it down and permit your inner creative self to allow that to give it the space. So and it's in everyone. So when you shut down the monkey mind, most people and I've had this has happened to me a lot in my life.
I'm caught in thought forms, but because I've meditated, I can now be the observer of that. So I can pull myself out of thought forms. If you're in thought forms, you won't even know you're thinking. Correct. You'll just be so it's very, very important to teach the techniques of meditation.
Now, if I meditate, I can do it in the car. I can be sitting on the toilet. I can be up a tree. I don't have to hear that person that was in front of me when the light was green for 15 seconds. I was having a meditation.
Darling, deep work going on there. She's deep into it. I'm not gonna honk my horn. But you can you can do that at any. I could do it right now. Right now. I can just pull myself back to being the observer. So I think it's a great thing.
So I write children's books and I would like to write a child's book about teaching the techniques of meditation because I was not taught that. I didn't realize I had two aspects to my brain.
I didn't realize there were two programs running and I could access both of them and then I can put them in a unifying way forward. But I would love to have been told that at age three.
If someone could have told me about the mind, my life and all the bullshit that I've been through, it just would. I mean, there's reasons for that. But it would have been so much easier.
But we're not taught about the brain. We're not taught about the soul because a child would recognize that they would recognize they have two parts to their mind. They would see it. It just needs to be explained.
And it wasn't explained in England. And I don't think it's explained in America.
No, that's very Western. England and America are both very Western. If you do go back like to the either back in the timeline, like to our our ancestors, there was very much there was an acknowledgement, even the indigenous people of North America.
There was from when a child was born until they're like prepubescent. So like, you know, 10, 12, 14 years old. The mother was the primary caretaker.
So there was the mother was there because the feelings and the emotions and they had to build that part of that young human being, that young, beautiful spirit and instill upon them the sense, the sense of how to cooperate.
How to take care of each other. How to recognize when somebody needs help. You know, those are those are often those are very practical parts of living in a civilized world.
And the indigenous recognize that that those characteristics in a in a human being are very precious and very important.
If you're going to have a viable long term tribe or village or whatever. And then once they have that solid foundation, which is the kind of the matriarchal influences, then they would be handed off.
This is both the guys and the girls, right? They would be handed off to the elder tribesmen where they would learn the skills. So there was the what hunting, shooting, fishing, that type of taking care of yourself.
How to build a fire, how to build things, how to defend yourself, how to track, how to grow all of those things.
But but when they were very young, they would they would very much be taken care of by the mom. So both the boys and the girls were all treated as a group and they learned how to coalesce as a group and how to take care of each other as a group, which is, I think, something that this world does not do.
This is where I was going to get into is we're in this place. If you're too much in the left brain, we've been taught this is a zero sum game. If Sarah wins, Tia Jolie loses.
Like we both can't win. But but that's not the truth. The truth is, we can do this so that everybody wins. Yeah. And you got to redefine what winning is.
I go back to when my oldest son, I just taught him how to play chess and we were playing chess.
And how old was he when you were teaching him? Maybe six or seven. Oh, young. OK. He was really young because he saw me playing and he wanted to learn. Right. Of course.
And, you know, there's rules and different gambits and stuff. And he got very good very quickly. And at some point, you know, he can win sometimes, which is important. It's important that there's that transference.
Yes. Where it's like, oh, the child beats the parent. Yay. That's an important part of development. My son got frustrated because he was looking.
My my second son, who was 16 months younger than my first, was was playing chess with me and he beat me at an earlier age than my older son beat me.
Now, my older son came to me and said, hey, how come you let John beat you?
I said, well, no, he said, why did you let John win? He says, why did you let John win? I said, what do you mean? He says, you you could have won that game. You deliberately held back.
You held back and you let him win. And I said, well, I said, tell me what your definition of winning is.
I said, because your frame of reference is that chess is a war of attrition. If you're playing chess, yes, it's a war of attrition. So there's only going to be one one person standing, one king standing at the end.
And so the question becomes, you know, what is your definition of winning? So for my my definition of winning was different than knocking out all his pieces.
My definition was spending precious time with my son and helping him win, helping him figure out the yeah.
And so I think you've got to incentivize a child. They cannot be on the losing side when you're teaching them.
So if I taught my children like to baseball or something at home, you deliberately let them have a stake at winning because that's fair play.
They won't want to be involved if so. You might have held back deliberately so he could win.
But giving him the win incentivized him to want to keep on playing, which was your objective. Well, and very that's very close to what I did.
So I explained to my son, I said, I did not make any decisions that I would not have otherwise made with you.
But what I did was I imposed a handicap upon myself where I gave myself five seconds to decide a move.
Oh, so I gave myself a five second limit and I gave my son who at the time was by that time he was probably also six because there's a lag there.
I gave him as much as time as he needed. So he could totally assess things.
Yes. But as soon as he moved five seconds later, it's his move again. Yeah. And so.
That's a great. I really like that. They do that with horses, don't they? They'll handicap a horse. They use that in racing.
So, yes, you've given yourself a handicap five seconds. So when you did this five seconds, were you confident that you could do it in five seconds?
No, not at all. Oh, really? I would have loved to have had more time.
You could have beaten the little sucker. But I also wanted to be very honest.
And when he won, I wanted to be very honest with him that he won fair and square because I don't want to lie to my child.
No, they'd be patronized. You definitely you definitely won.
Like I didn't throw the game. Yeah. And it's a great lesson for your other child asking about that as well.
Yeah. And I'll tell you a story about that. But back to winning.
So chess is not a good example. I mean, that is there's one winner takes all.
Yeah. But when you look at checkers like Western checkers, Western checkers is still the same.
It's a war of attrition. You make it to the end, you get kinged and all of your kings can conquer.
And eventually you're all one color. That monopoly is like that. It's like you're going to get the whole board in monopoly.
But if you look at Chinese checkers, you start with 10 marbles. I start with 10 marbles.
It's a it's not a war of attrition. It's a war of forethought. It's a war of acting and reacting.
So there is no winner. There's a winner. What determines the winner?
But everybody just Chinese checkers, you start with 10 marbles. I don't think I've played this.
And you end with 10 marbles. It's whoever can invert the board.
So I'm putting all my marbles into your triangle and you're putting your marbles into my triangle.
But my moves, it's a it's a war of maneuver. So it's I'm I'm moving my marbles to not only advance my marbles into your triangle,
but at the same point, I'm trying to block your ability to move your ears into mine.
This is like backgammon. It's backgammon. It's very similar. It's very similar to that.
And so truthfully, when I reflect upon my youth, playing Chinese checkers made me a better military special operator.
Because in traditional warfare, there's offense and defense. It's like a football game.
There's offense and defense in special ops. There's those, but there's also counter offense and counter defense.
The counter offense is defeating the enemy's ability to have an offense and counter defense is defeating the enemy's ability to defeat, to to protect him or herself.
Yes, his base. So I share that because an Eastern mentality is not one of attrition.
It's one of thoughtfulness and maneuver cooperation. And yeah, it's I'm not trying to kill your people.
I'm not trying to kill your pieces and take them off the board.
I'm trying to protect myself and stop you from getting. I'm trying to outwit you. Yes.
So that's very interesting. It's just a different way of looking.
But I think in this world, I'm going to get I'm going to get Chinese checkers and play with Tony.
I might just have some in the other room. We'll have to play one.
So I just bring this up because there's so many times like you can look at it time and again, like I poke fun at these so-called experts in the field like economics.
It's like, what is an economist? What is your it's like, well, I'm an expert in the allocation and distribution of scarce resources.
I'm like, OK, what if resources aren't scarce? What do you do then?
Like, what if we what if we operate from a position of abundance? Yes. What does that even mean? Yeah.
And they're like, yeah, I guess I guess you're out of a word.
Yeah, well, it's a great I guess you got to come grow some melons with me.
Something else to do with your brain. Something else to do because your your paradigm is broken.
So anyway, that that's fine. But I appreciate you sharing that with me.
I think it's important that we we we understand what part of our brain we're working with.
And I love your imagery of getting them your your idea of being able to recognize.
Are you working from this part of your brain? Can I can I step back and be an observer?
I think I mean, when you're when you when you're back in presence, when you're back in awareness, that is just awareness.
There are no thoughts. Now, thought is going to come into your mind.
And then the next thing you do is either grab that thought if it's a good thought, if it's constructive, it's positive.
Is it creative? And you can run with that thought. If it's not, you can just flush it and then you're coming back to awareness.
And awareness is just me being here looking out the window.
There's nothing going on. And then a thought will come in. And is that thought useful?
Or is it a crappy thought? Is it an argument that you're playing out because you had an argument with your husband the day before?
And are you playing out a different ending? Are you thinking about something that happened to you as a child?
Are you bitching because something didn't go your way? Is something you're hoping for something you're worried about not getting?
All these are just mind constructs. It's not your soul. It's not your awareness.
So meditation is very important because you can then see what is a mind construct.
Then you can change and recalibrate how you're thinking.
And that's very important because we're manifesting. We're manifesting reality.
So getting control over the mind is absolutely crucial.
If you believe, and we are, if you believe you're manifesting reality, you better get control over your mind.
And knowing that there are two programs running side by side is vital. And I wish I'd found that out earlier.
Okay, so I'm going to move you forward on this because on a day to day basis, I personally run into people.
I don't even run into them. They find me. Like I have people finding me from Australia, South Korea.
How exciting though.
But they find me because I'm out there.
There's a reason for that.
But I love to help these people. And there's something no matter where they are across the world,
they seem to have similar issues and similar things.
And right now there's so much stress and a lot of it's self induced.
It's all self induced.
It's just like these people put so much pressure on themselves.
But they think it's external. People blame outer reality and not realizing their mind is causing all that.
So this is where I want you to take us there because I run into this all the time.
Here's a standard typical example.
Somebody come in and whether it's on a Zoom call or into my studio.
And it's like, first the question I ask is how did you find me?
Well, my girlfriend, Sarah, sent me over here, whatever.
It's like great because I always like to know how did you find me?
But the second thing is, so who are you and why are you here?
Well, I thought you knew, but my name is Kelly and I got to lose this 30 pounds off my butt.
You know, I said whatever.
So, you know, that's the easy part.
Who are you like in your soul?
Like, do you have a soul?
And how does your soul find this earth space?
And what's this all about?
So we have that discussion.
But what I want to do is move them to a place where they have where they have this awareness of self.
But what I will oftentimes do, especially for people that are trying to lose weight, believe it or not,
they come in there, they're overweight and they have low functioning thyroid and they're diagnosed with Hashimoto's or thyroid.
All this stuff is like that's easy.
Those are easy things.
The medical world doesn't get it.
They don't understand that Hashimoto's, they can't figure it out because it's actually two different things.
But they don't go there.
So these people come to me and like I do a quick assessment and I ask the question, how are you with stress?
How?
Because they're they're saying their thyroid is not functioning properly.
And I asked them about their stress.
The answer I get, Sarah, is often, oh, I'm a piece of work.
Every direction I turn, I'm stressed.
Oh, God.
Right.
So I'm I want to bring this back.
I want to bring this back to you because this is very relevant to probably 80 percent of our listeners.
But and I say, well, congratulations, because you're sorry, I made you spit your water.
But it's like your thyroid is just fine.
But you're you're permitting your your your archetype, your all of your belief systems are are creating these stress stressors and emotional stress is a real deal.
But the thing is, your body is perfect in itself regulates.
So if you're creating stress because of your stupid neighbor that's yelling at you know, as kids or whatever, whatever the stress is, if you permit that to stress you, then you let that in.
Your body doesn't know it's just your stupid neighbor.
Your body responds as if you're being chased by a bear.
Yes, that's fascinating.
But are you being chased by a tiger or a bear?
No, no, it's just your stupid neighbor.
So you was your mind processing your stupid neighbor.
He's irrelevant.
Right. But your body doesn't know it.
So what if you're being chased by a tiger, your body responds intelligently by slowing your digestion, increasing your blood rate, increasing your blood sugar, increasing your cholesterol, the amount of cholesterol, because you're about ready to be scratched.
We're going to have to heal that.
So your body's brilliant.
So the cholesterol is if you're going to be scratched, they put cholesterol, an upload of cholesterol does what in terms of healing?
Well, cholesterol is if you have damaged your body, your body needs cholesterol sulfate as a building block.
So if you're deficient on cholesterol or deficient on sulfate or sunshine, then you're not going to synthesize cholesterol sulfate and you're not going to...
Cholesterol sulfate is the building block for your hormones, your corticosteroids, your adrenal support, all the good things that happen in your body start with cholesterol.
Your body needs to take care of itself.
If you have high cholesterol, the so-called bad cholesterol, which doesn't exist, it's not bad.
It just needs a dance partner and that dance partner is activated sulfur.
But anyway, so these people, they come in and they're stressed, their blood sugar is high, they're not being chased by a tiger, but their blood goes to their extremities.
They get brain fog because the blood needs to go to the big muscles to get you out of danger's way.
It doesn't need to go to your brain.
Right.
Your vision narrows.
So all of these things happen.
Because you're vital.
Because you're permitting the stress to happen.
So I think this discussion with you about stress is relevant because I think it'll help my people too.
If you're stressed, your body doesn't care about tomorrow's hormones.
So your thyroid down regulates.
Wow.
And people don't get that.
So if you're walking around and you're the stress ball, you need to meditate.
You need to find a girlfriend.
You need to go climb some rocks.
You focus your attention on something positive.
You need to do whatever it takes.
Don't allow the monkey mind to keep uploading.
Yeah, because that's going to keep driving your, it's going to down regulate your thyroid.
So the correlation between what is going on in your mind and what is going on in your body, that's a huge part of your work.
Oh, it's direct.
Yeah.
It's absolutely direct.
I mean, I knew this before I met you and it's great hearing this because I always knew the correlation.
So my question to you is this.
So we have these people that come in and they're self professed balls of stress, right?
A great title for a book, a self professed ball of stress.
But this is what they tell me.
You know, it's like, oh, I'm a piece of work, but there's legitimate things going on in their lives.
And this is where I'm going to ask you for your advice, because I give them the advice that I can.
But from your perspective, based on your readings and things, you know, you say words like, you know, manifest and you say things like, you know, you know, you mentioned it's like, well, these are all in your mind and these are.
But some of these things are in their mind.
Those are real.
Of course.
Those are very, very real.
But they're not.
They're just mind constructs.
But but okay, so how do you explain to somebody that's going through stress every direction they turn every direction they turn their stress?
How do you talk them down?
Well, I mean, just first thing I would say to them, how bored are you with your bullshit?
That would really be how bored are you with this?
Because at some point, if you're stressed out and life's not going, you're not manifesting your relationships are broken, your health.
How bored are you?
And then once you've hit rock bottom, then you've got to find a way out of it.
So that would be my first question.
How bored are you with being this big ball of stress?
And then the moment you're bored with it, then do you believe that you can get out of it?
Do you believe you possess the power?
Do you believe God has the power?
What is your belief system?
Once you're bored with feeling as fucked up as you're feeling, because people coming to you and they're not coming to you because they're happy.
They must be tired of it.
They wouldn't be talking to you otherwise.
So I would say you must be bored.
Otherwise, you wouldn't have called me.
And then I would start talking about how to bring your mind back to awareness.
That would be because until you can be aware and your monkey mind is offline, you're not going to see that you're causing your own stress through your own thinking.
And that's what everyone does.
So you could be, oh, I mean, I have a friend and she's always talking about her aches and pains.
And it's all the time.
I've got this and I've got that. And to me, I would just disidentify with that.
If I have a headache, I just see it gone.
I just see the whole thing gone.
I have no emotional identification with that.
I don't need it. I'm not looking for sympathy.
I want it gone and I want to be healthy.
So take a couple of tides and I'll have a glass of water, have a nap.
But it will just not be in my mind.
So a disidentification with the monkey mind.
But you won't be able to do that and people who are stressed out because they're not even going to realize they're stuck in thought forms.
So the biggest hurdle will be to pull back.
And meditation is that practice.
You don't have to sit in a chair upright.
You just do it while you're driving.
You realize that you're thinking and you just pull your attention back to the now.
That is the place of the observer.
And that's what you have to strengthen like a muscle.
Once you do that day in, day out, it becomes much easier.
And then you're living in presence pretty much on and off all day long.
And the thing is, that's where you want to live until you have useful, uplifting thoughts.
If they're useful, youthful, useful and youthful and uplifting, you can run with that because that's lovely.
That's what your mind is doing and you can create whatever day you want from that.
So thinking is not the problem.
It's the bullshit thinking and the griping and the moaning, the self-indulgence, the complaining.
I wouldn't watch any TV.
I wouldn't listen to any hype that anyone talks about.
Just bring your attention right back and understand that you are not your thoughts.
You're not your thoughts. That's a mind construct.
You're the awareness behind them.
Okay. So I've actually read several of, I've read I think four of your books,
even though there was no pictures and even though there were chapter books, I still read them.
So I'm looking forward to your children's books because I think there's going to be pictures and I'll probably get through it faster.
I bought a few for you. You're lucky. You manifested those in the car.
Oh, you're so sweet.
So I know a little bit about your story.
And I hear you talking today and your pearls of wisdom you're sharing, but you weren't always this way.
This has been a process. You weren't born and then you were this way.
Well, I can tell you a little bit.
Yeah, I just want to take me through like Sarah's background.
Okay. So the first time and I didn't have any construct.
So like you, I was raised in a Christian society and I went to church because I did that because I was bored.
But that was all around me. We sang hymns in school and we, you know, there was a kind of a religious society to the whole thing.
And I was about six or seven years old and I was walking up the road that we lived on.
And I remember that all my mind dropped away.
All my thinking dropped away and I was just in awareness. I had no thoughts.
But I didn't have I was young. I was six or seven. I had nobody to talk to.
No one could say what's happened to your mind.
And that was the first time I realized what was going on in my head was different than what was going on in everyone else's.
And with everyone else, I mean, my mom, my dad, my brother, just the closed circuit around me.
And I knew instinctively that where this place that I had unwittingly fallen back to, that was presence, that was awareness.
So this has been happening to me all my life. But it wasn't until I went through my awakening at 33 that I had a way to frame that.
And it was a lot of the reading I did. And then I read, OK, this has been going on all your life.
I was born with this ability to pull back from thought forms, but it was involuntary. I couldn't do it.
It just happened to me and it happened throughout my life.
All my thoughts would just fall away and I would just be present.
And then I realized as I was doing all my learning, I actually can control this.
I can do this just on purpose, willingly. I can stop this.
But I'd always been able to do it involuntarily from a young child.
So, so, so ABC 123 in a linear manner, using your left brain.
What would you suggest for people who are like, how do you get started with this?
Like, I know they could read one of your books. You've got a couple of books, actually, would probably be very useful.
Yeah, the Mirror World would be great. So anyone listening to this, I have I have a few books, but the Mirror World is only eight thousand words.
Now, it takes you 40 minutes to read it, but that I lay out how to think correctly, the techniques to doing that and the implications of not doing it well.
It's pretty hardcore because I wrote it from the characters in one of my novel and Kane is the godsand's right hand man, and he's no nonsense.
So I wrote from the perspective of one of my characters. And I mean, I could send the listeners a PDF. They don't even have to buy.
I mean, I'd like to give it away because that would be eight thousand words of really getting you on the right path and understanding the technique.
It's just a technique. It's actually very, very simple. And then you have to work it like a muscle.
You switch back to the now moment just by refocusing your attention.
So that would be your advice for somebody that's just totally in the mix.
You've got to refocus your attention and you can do that. You could actually I mean, right now I could refocus my attention.
I can just do it spontaneously, but you might want to just pay attention to your breathing, pay attention to your fingertips.
You have to remove your attention from your left brain, which is your monkey mind, all those thoughts.
And you have to either bring it back down to something external like reading a book or watching a movie.
Or you can just sit with yourself in awareness and not do anything at all.
And it's a superpower because if you have that superpower, you can actually manifest whatever fucking reality you want.
I mean, it's karma involved and we have lessons because we're coming into this life with lessons.
But it is a superpower because now you're in control of your mind and then you can manifest what you want.
So thank you for sharing that. It's so sweet of you to offer the PDF download.
Definitely. Is that like on your website or will get to it?
So we'll after this, I'll make this available and then we can work that out.
Yes, I'll make that available on SarahTourie.com. We'll talk about it next time.
Yeah, it'll be fine. I'll work on that.
So one thing that's very interesting is, you know, you and I both talk about the monkey mind.
And I've asked you before, but your interpretation of monkey mind is different.
What's yours? But I'm just curious.
I was going to ask you first, my interpretation of monkey mind is different.
I'll go ahead and answer it first.
My daughter asked me, you know, you keep saying monkey mind, what does that mean?
And she's adorable. She's like the mother of three of my grandchildren.
But to me, monkey mind, I asked the question.
When somebody asks me a question, I like to answer the question.
So I said, well, what do monkeys do?
Throw shit at them.
That's what monkeys do. You know, they goof around.
They do irrelevant things, at least from our perspective.
Well, I don't know about that.
From their world, they're very structured.
But from our world, they just goof around.
You know, they play around, they do silly things, and they scream, they throw poop, they rattle cages.
To me, that's when I say monkey mind, that's kind of what I'm saying.
It's this concoction of distractions.
Yes.
It's this because we're in this...
And they come and the monkey mind, it's not like you've chosen a thought.
You're just going along with whatever garbage has fallen into your mind.
There's no choice in that.
So is your interpretation, is that what a monkey mind is?
So a monkey mind is the incessant chatter of the mind that goes on all day long.
It'll follow you around from room to room.
And it's the incessant speak about nothing which is relevant.
You're going to the past, you're going to the future.
You'll start bitching, whining, and complaining.
Or you'll re-go over ideas.
And it's a stale load of thought forms more often than not.
And it's created neural pathways, big trenches where if you've been thinking that thought,
it's quite likely that you're going to keep rethinking it.
And then the Bible talks about the strongholds in the mind.
So that's what that's referring to.
So the monkey mind is an incessant chatter that you cannot shut up until you refocus your attention.
So I'm going to take that and bridge into the physiological impact of the monkey brain.
As you're developing neuronal connections in the brain,
one of the things that we seek to do as doctors, as people who care about those neurological connections
or neuronal connections, is the number one thing is to make sure the connections are solid,
that there's good electrical connection, good conductivity, but also good insulability.
So at the neuron we need nutrients like D3, which you get.
D3, your body will synthesize if you get good sunshine, good nutrition.
And then K2, which you can get from many vegetables.
But the D3, K2, is what's going to make the synapse effective and firewall.
And then you wrap the synapse with, I use a plant-based omega-3 that's from a chia seed blend.
But you want to get the highest quality insulation.
And that's all good for an individual synapse.
But outside of the synaptic, when you do, there's a Dr. Daniel Amon,
I studied him when I was getting my master's degree.
He did basically a photonic assessment of somebody's brain while it's functioning.
And he would map out, you know, what's firing, what's not firing.
And these pathways are phenomenal.
If you took a typical male brain, what you're going to see is a lot of white.
Like when you look at the brain, and the white is a myelin sheath.
It's basically a very thick, dense coating that protects the neurological bundles,
the neuronal bundles that are used frequently.
So as an example, you've got some five-year-olds that are out hitting a baseball, right?
So let's just say you have a boy and a girl.
I'll say a boy brain and a girl brain.
The boy brain is going to be more white matter.
In other words, the pitch comes in and the boy swings and misses.
But eventually he swings and he hits a little bit.
Eventually he swings and he hits.
And pretty soon he swings and he hits most of the time.
He can hit the ball most of the time.
The same girl of the same age, the same nutrient, the same everything,
could be a sister, would take longer because it takes women,
it takes girls or the female brain a longer time to lay down the myelin sheath.
So what's happening physiologically in the boy's brain is those important neurological,
the neuronal connections, your body says,
hey, these things that we're doing repeatedly are very important things.
Therefore, since these bundles are being stimulated, I need to protect those
because obviously whatever those bundles are doing, those neurons,
whatever they're doing, it's important.
So I need to protect those.
I'm getting to a point here.
Yeah, this is very interesting.
So when you look at that in a brain, like for a young man,
there's going to be a lot of white.
And what this represents is that when a man does things repeatedly,
he gets very good, very efficient.
Those neuronal bundles are protected.
They're insulated and they're very efficient.
They're very efficient.
So if it's hammering something, building something,
but the brain is not determining the efficiency is determining.
This is the way I'm thinking.
The brain doesn't care what you're thinking, what you're thinking.
The brain is saying it's going to protect what you're thinking.
It must be useful.
Right.
So what's happening is the brain is actually saying, okay, I don't care what,
because this is your physiology,
but there's this bundle that's repeatedly being used over and over and over and over again.
And that bundle, the brain says, okay, clearly this bundle of needs protection.
It needs to be more efficient.
So I'm going to insulate it and make it more efficient.
Gosh.
Now that makes the diagram.
When you, when Dr. Eamon does the diagram, he'll see a lot of white matter.
When he does the women, you'll see a lot of gray matter.
Now, so when you look at the, the,
And what does the gray matter represent?
So when you look at an axon, which is, when you look at a neuron,
there's two parts of the, there's the cell nucleus, which is the center of it.
Then there's the dendrites.
The dendrites are like this, it looks like the branches of a tree.
It reaches out.
It's like a fishnet.
It's just reaching out.
It's this big antenna array of sensors.
Right.
Sounds much more interesting than the white stuff.
But the white stuff's important because that's insulating it, keeping it safe, strengthening it.
And then the gray stuff is that's the creative stuff.
That's the feelers.
You're getting it.
So what happens is, so in the nerve, the nerves themselves,
there's this huge array of dendrites.
That's like the net.
It's think of it like a net that's catching fish, but the fish are electrons or their synapses that are firing.
It's picking up frequencies and electrons.
It's picking up information that's out in the ether or in your system.
So there's the nucleus takes the inputs from the dendrites.
And then the nucleus makes a decision.
So every one of the nucleus, the nuclei, every one of them makes a decision.
And in the decision is executed through the white matter, which is the axon.
Yeah.
So it's beautiful.
It's a beautiful set up.
So if this nerve bundle, if there's a whole set of dendrites,
so once a male figures out a good way to do something,
it's going to be solidified very quickly and they're going to become very efficient at that,
which is a great thing if you have to do something very well repeatedly.
Yes.
The problem is, what if you have to change your mind?
Yeah.
What if it's very difficult?
So what happens is...
Creates dogma.
Well, let's look at the female mind now.
A lot of times there's so many inputs because they have all these dendrites.
They're out there, they're feeling, they're aware, they're all this.
But then they come into the axon.
And there's no white matter to...
And they're like, what do I do with all this information?
What do I do with this information?
And they don't do anything.
Right.
And they get frustrated because they don't take action.
So on one hand you have the boy brain, if you will, that's going to just...
I'm going to do this and they don't give it too much thought.
They just do it.
On the other hand, you have this female aspect that's very reflective and introspective
and interpretive and creative, if you will.
But it gets to the axon, they don't ever do anything with it.
So these two parts have to be in unison.
It's as above, so below.
And that includes your nucleus.
Every single nucleus has to make a decision.
And so what we want to do is get to the point where we can get enough information
to make a reasonable decision, let the axon make a decision, and then go with it.
But what I encourage people to do is to...
Can I just interject here what this white matter is?
Because the white matter, I think we call it matter, the white part is the strengthening part
of a neural pathway that already exists.
It's like a superhighway.
Yes, and it's keeping it safe, it's strengthening it, and it's protecting it.
That is the stronghold of the mind.
If that thought that has caused that is so dense and so protected...
And...
Oh, that poor person.
Sorry, I'll have to call you back.
Do you know how to mute your phone? I can help you with that.
I really thought I had.
But so...
And it makes it more efficient.
Yes, but the problem is if the thought, because it's not determining which thought is correct or not,
it's just completely impartial to the thought.
If it's a damaging thought or a damaging action and the white part is strengthening it,
that's what we've got to break.
That would be the stronghold.
This is exactly why I brought you into this world of the neuronal connections
and the white matter versus the gray matter.
The gray matter is awesome for bringing, collecting information and interpreting it
and just being aware of it.
But at some point it needs to aggregate that information and take an action.
So now to your point, and this is why I brought you down this path,
even if the action is... your brain doesn't care if it's a correct action or a wrong answer.
You could talk about pornography or something.
You're going to get into this action, this cyclical thing.
It's a cyclical thing.
And the more you think it, the more you will think it.
And it will build.
You actually have to create different neuronal pathways.
Neuro-linguistic programming.
Well, the neuro-linguistic means you're speaking it.
But you have to do it yourself in your head.
And this is called neuroplasticity.
So I run into this with people who have early stage dementia, Alzheimer's, even Parkinson's.
What's happening is they need to change things around.
I'll just touch briefly on Parkinson's because my very first Parkinson's client was wheelchair bound.
And he could barely lift his head.
He couldn't feed himself.
He was totally dependent on his spouse to help him.
Well, after about 90 days, he was walking with a cane.
Now, that's not healing him.
Better than it was.
But in his world, that's a massive improvement.
What did I do?
So part of it was nutritional intervention.
And what part was nutrition, do you think?
Was he eating chicken nuggets and Wonder Bread?
Did you completely turn his nutrition around?
Well, he was actually not very compliant.
He was only minimally compliant.
So he couldn't go the full way with this healing.
But to understand the Parkinson's, I'm getting at this because
when you do the same thing day in and day out and day in and day out,
what happens is your brain begins to atrophy.
Now, there's more to the genesis of these symptoms of Parkinson's.
I don't like to put labels, so they call it Parkinson's.
To me, it's just a degeneration of the mind, of the brain.
It's an atrophy.
Because you haven't used it correctly.
Right. So at the base of your brain, there's this significant area at the base of your brain,
this significant black area aptly named the substantia nigra.
And this black area produces a thing called dopamine.
So remember, kids, you know, there was this dopey feeling.
You had this dopey feeling about when you fall in love or puppy love.
That dopamine is that feel-good neurotransmitter that says,
life is great. Nothing can be wrong.
She loves me. I love him or whatever.
You know, it's just life is perfect.
That's dopamine.
So we have to increase that.
Yes. So the substantia nigra is the primary,
that's where most of the dopamine is generated.
So you have to ask the question, well, is it?
But when you say generated, it's stimulated.
It's produced.
Produced. It's a neurotransmitter.
But it's stimulated by what we're thinking?
Very close. And this is why I'm getting to,
is the substantia nigra generates most of your dopamine in your body.
What triggers it? What is it that triggers it?
Is it falling in love?
Do I have to be a five-year-old or a seven-year-old and fall in love with my teacher?
Like, is that the only thing? No, it's not.
There's a lot of things that can increase dopamine production.
First of all, you have to be physiologically balanced.
So you can't be stressed out.
But we've come to find that dopamine is not puppy love.
It's not those things. It's novelty.
Oh.
Novelty. So when scripture says, come to me as a child.
Yeah. Be years little children.
Noxie can ask. Be little children.
That's actually the pathway to a strong brain.
Wow. That's so great.
So what happens here?
I write about this is so great. This is really great.
You're framing it like this.
This is great stuff.
This is really helpful.
So what I had him doing was, first of all, I helped him nutritionally to the degree he was willing to be helped.
People resist change, especially guys. They resist change.
When I'm talking to girls, they're like, yeah, I'm on it.
They're like, ah, change it. Yeah. Most of them.
But then, you know, I had him, instead of going and sitting in the same chair every day,
why don't you move the kitchen chair to the window?
Why don't you...
So breaking patterns.
Why don't you eat with your left hand?
Why don't you shave with your left hand?
Why don't you put the pillow at the foot of the bed?
You see, this is very funny because I was...
I told myself I needed to reprogram myself back when I was going through various things of understanding the world that I'm living in in reality.
And I'd set my alarm for three in the morning and get up and walk to the gate, cold, didn't want to do it.
And then sometimes I turn all the lights out and I'd walk around my house and I would force myself to do everything that wasn't standard.
And it was weird. It was a very weird thing.
And I didn't really realize why I was doing it.
But for some reason, intuitively, I didn't want to live with the regularity of patterns.
So now I don't really live with patterns. I don't live with schedules. I do things spontaneously.
Sometimes I have to plan things, but I'll force myself.
The other day I jumped into my swimming pool, which was so fucking cold I nearly had a heart attack because I wanted to force myself to get out my comfort zone.
I guess you're calling it that.
Thank you for showing up today at the studio.
Thank you for keeping this on your schedule.
So, OK, so, so yeah, there's more, you know, to brain health.
But when you say to him moving the chair, go and sit here, you're doing that because you're trying to reestablish a new pattern of thinking.
Even just driving, like take a different way to this. Don't go to the grocery store.
But why, though? Why is that useful?
Go a different way. But why?
It's novel.
Oh, it's the novelty.
It's the novelty. When you come to the world as a child, think about when you were five, six, seven years old.
You know, even now, you know, I'm 60 years old. I go in the garden.
If I see a different type of bee out there, I'll sit and watch it for a few minutes. It's just novel.
If I see a different color dragonfly.
Taste something different.
We have Blue Java bananas. I've got to give you some.
The Blue Java bananas.
Oh, love that.
They're short.
I need some potassium.
And they taste like vanilla ice cream.
Oh, wow. I've never had one of those before.
But those are novelty. Like, that's a novelty.
So interesting.
So, as a child, you know, everything was new and different.
So we get old and jaded, don't we?
Having childlike wonder is basically that's what novelty is.
That's exactly right.
And that's how you keep that's a secret to keeping your brain young.
It's just it's the wonderment.
And just I'm going to write an essay on this.
This is really great.
And just comprehend that we are surrounded by such beauty, such blessing.
There's infinite.
Just even looking at the stars, you could get lost.
Oh, by the way, thanks for accepting our invitation.
I can't wait to the new moon, new friends.
I know. I'm going to start howling.
So for those of you listening, we're having our first ever new moon, new friends gathering.
I've never been to a new moon. I've never done one.
No, what do we wear?
I don't know. Nothing.
I don't know. I'll surprise you.
Wear what you want. It's casual.
I'll be novel.
But it's the new moon.
There'll be a novel too.
It's the new moon and it's going to be dark and we're going to have fun.
And then when it's dark, we're going to go out of my front yard.
So we can bring flashlights.
We're not going to bring any. How are we going to see?
You don't.
That's part of it.
It's part of the whole thing.
But this is novelty.
Those are the things you want to do.
So this part, I see what you're saying.
Yeah, that's great.
It's novel. When you were a child, okay, when you were just an infant, you're in your little crib, right?
That was your world. Your world was your crib.
And then you look around and there's a light switch, right?
You're like, oh, light switch.
And you're going to figure a way to get out of your crib.
So you climb down the crib and now that you have this room, it's like, oh my goodness, the crib.
Your world quadrupled because now you're in your room and there's closets and there's there's electrical outlets.
So it's discovery.
It's discovery is what's novel.
And you've got to keep discovering and trying new stuff.
And you're saying that's the key to a healthy existence.
One of them.
Healthy marriage?
Yes.
Healthy relationship with yourself.
Just learning novel and appreciation.
Well, appreciation then comes into it.
Just learning new and novel things about how amazing you are.
Yeah, gosh.
How the more you learn about how amazing your body is, like I'm talking about neurons in your brain.
There are so many wonderful things that your body can do automatically.
Just learning about this beautiful avatar that you've got, this gift that helps you navigate this earth space.
The more you learn about it, the more wondrous it is.
You know, we look up at the universe above, but you have a universe within.
And that universe within is magnificent.
Well, I'm going to consider the word novelty.
I'm going to Colorado this weekend, which is novel, because I'm going to be up in a mountain,
because I love how that ties in with the biblical passage, be years little children.
And it is novelty.
It's something new and something to appreciate.
So this has been really, really good advice.
This has been great.
And we'll pick up next time because I'll be discovering what novelty waits ahead and I'll talk to you about it.
You know what I love is like, I never know from episode to episode what we're going to talk about.
And for those of you listening, it is novel.
And so for those of you listening, like Sarah and I, we don't script anything.
We just show up, turn on the mics.
Yeah, I love it. Me too.
It's so much fun. It's been wonderful.
Thank you for coming out to Phillips Island.
It's always my pleasure. I can't wait for the next one.
Any closing thoughts for our people today?
Inspect your mind and the way you do that is refocus your attention and become awareness.
Once you're able to inspect your mind, you'll be way nearer to getting the life that you want.
That's beautiful. Thank you.
We'll see you again.
Yes, thank you so much.
