Enjoy the show. Welcome to Soul Decodes. Join

00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:42.020
us as we wander off the path to find the ideas

00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:46.020
that fascinate. We talk about spirituality, the

00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:50.420
mind, the ego, wellness and hidden history with

00:00:50.420 --> 00:00:54.299
tips, travels and tales. Charms for a better

00:00:54.299 --> 00:01:07.239
life. Hello, everybody, and welcome. This is

00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.040
Dr. Tia Jolie Phillips, and I'm looking directly

00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:14.420
at Sarah Tirri. We're on Phillips Island in

00:01:14.420 --> 00:01:17.180
the Treehouse studio, and it's been a cool day.

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.040
I got to tell you something real quick. Yeah,

00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.359
go ahead. So we had a torrential rainstorm last

00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.480
night. I saw that pond down the road. I thought,

00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.840
holy shit, you've got some rain. It was amazing.

00:01:25.939 --> 00:01:28.500
Yeah. I slept through it all. Oh, did you? Robin

00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:30.180
said, did you hear that? Oh, I want to be awake

00:01:30.180 --> 00:01:32.099
during that. Well, I mean, I don't have a choice.

00:01:32.099 --> 00:01:34.349
I want to be outside walking around in it. Have

00:01:34.349 --> 00:01:36.430
you ever done that? Oh, yeah. Oh, I loved it.

00:01:36.469 --> 00:01:39.049
I don't like too much lightning, though. Yeah,

00:01:39.049 --> 00:01:41.450
too much lightning. You know what's fun is thunderstorms

00:01:41.450 --> 00:01:43.790
like in the mountains when you're like on the

00:01:43.790 --> 00:01:45.629
side of a mountain and you're actually slightly

00:01:45.629 --> 00:01:47.629
above it sometimes and it's coming into you.

00:01:47.909 --> 00:01:49.989
But this morning we were just tooling around

00:01:49.989 --> 00:01:52.629
the gardens and just taking a look at all the

00:01:52.629 --> 00:01:54.890
beautiful things, like the berries are popping.

00:01:55.269 --> 00:01:57.790
We have Everglade tomatoes. Did we give you some

00:01:57.790 --> 00:02:00.890
of those? Yes. So we have so many. You're going

00:02:00.890 --> 00:02:03.060
to go home today with some more of them. If you

00:02:03.060 --> 00:02:07.599
want them. But we saw some hummingbirds. Beautiful.

00:02:08.240 --> 00:02:10.319
Like, we've had hummingbirds here before. Well,

00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:11.860
they're coming in to drink the water. I don't

00:02:11.860 --> 00:02:13.919
know what they're doing, but they were so...

00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.099
But that was unusual. They came after the rainstorm.

00:02:16.780 --> 00:02:19.060
Yes, so they're coming in because there's maybe

00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:21.780
moisture that they can have in leaves where it's

00:02:21.780 --> 00:02:23.840
just sitting in a leaf or something. Whatever,

00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.139
they're welcome here. There were several of them.

00:02:27.340 --> 00:02:28.300
They're a weird thing, aren't they? They're like

00:02:28.300 --> 00:02:32.050
half bird, half insect. I think they look pretty

00:02:32.050 --> 00:02:33.669
bird to me. I don't know. Well, they're kind

00:02:33.669 --> 00:02:35.949
of weird because they're just vibrating so quickly.

00:02:35.990 --> 00:02:38.569
They're hovering. I mean, most birds don't just

00:02:38.569 --> 00:02:40.509
stay in one place and hover. That's usually an

00:02:40.509 --> 00:02:42.949
insect thing to do. I wonder what we look like

00:02:42.949 --> 00:02:46.110
when we're vibrating. They're probably looking

00:02:46.110 --> 00:02:49.090
at us. You're on a low vibration. You're low

00:02:49.090 --> 00:02:53.210
vibration. Okay. So anyway, I just want to share

00:02:53.210 --> 00:02:55.289
with you that this morning was so beautiful.

00:02:56.009 --> 00:02:58.289
And I'm just so grateful. We had rain and everything's

00:02:58.289 --> 00:03:00.289
popping. Yeah, that's going to be great. We have

00:03:00.289 --> 00:03:02.849
so many fruits. We had a big, it was probably

00:03:02.849 --> 00:03:04.449
about an hour and a half and it was a few days

00:03:04.449 --> 00:03:06.150
ago and it was torrential. It was beautiful.

00:03:06.710 --> 00:03:09.669
And then I left a jug outside, which was empty.

00:03:09.710 --> 00:03:11.650
And when I got outside, my jug was completely

00:03:11.650 --> 00:03:13.810
full. I'm like, holy fuck, all this has gone

00:03:13.810 --> 00:03:16.449
into the ground. If it's localized in a jug.

00:03:16.669 --> 00:03:19.310
Oh, for sure. So it was, I just had this massive

00:03:19.310 --> 00:03:21.710
sense of how much water it was just based on

00:03:21.710 --> 00:03:25.849
looking at this jug. And it's like lovely. That

00:03:25.849 --> 00:03:28.789
lake out there, it's about two acres, our lake

00:03:28.789 --> 00:03:31.289
in the backyard. Everything will look green in

00:03:31.289 --> 00:03:32.969
six weeks. Oh, it's so beautiful. We're going

00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:38.030
to talk about fish because we're looking at getting

00:03:38.030 --> 00:03:41.449
what's called a triploid grass carp. Get a few

00:03:41.449 --> 00:03:43.569
of those. And what they are is they're neutered

00:03:43.569 --> 00:03:46.650
grass carps. And they come in here and they eat

00:03:46.650 --> 00:03:49.509
all of the invasive grasses. And then they'll

00:03:49.509 --> 00:03:51.710
leave the beautiful things in the pond. Like

00:03:51.710 --> 00:03:54.699
they won't eat. It's a fish. It's a fish. So

00:03:54.699 --> 00:03:57.039
hang on, you keep it in the pond and it eats,

00:03:57.080 --> 00:03:59.080
how does it eat, where does it get its food?

00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.960
It eats the invasive grass. So when you look

00:04:02.960 --> 00:04:05.659
at the edges of our pond back there, there's

00:04:05.659 --> 00:04:08.719
invasive grass. Right. Oh, I see. So it just

00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:11.080
comes up to the edge there and it just snips

00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:13.659
it. Its favorite thing is for some reason it's

00:04:13.659 --> 00:04:16.399
this invasive grass. Well, the thing is what

00:04:16.399 --> 00:04:18.680
you've got to make sure, like we only have one.

00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.420
Why has it got to be neutered? Well, because

00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:24.360
they're invasive too. Oh, okay, double the secondary

00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:27.180
problem. Yeah, so you're introducing, so they're

00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:28.959
called triploid because they've been neutered.

00:04:29.180 --> 00:04:31.540
So you end up having hundreds of them. And they

00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:34.480
get big. Do you see them? Sometimes you see them,

00:04:34.500 --> 00:04:37.060
like if you do a search on Florida fishermen.

00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:38.319
I'm going to have to look now. They're huge.

00:04:38.439 --> 00:04:40.100
They're like as big as you are. They're a monster.

00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:41.680
Jesus Christ. And they keep getting bigger and

00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.680
bigger and bigger. Holy. It sounds like one of

00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.819
my children's stories. Oh, that's crazy. Well,

00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.259
yeah, you see that. So we actually have to build.

00:04:50.649 --> 00:04:54.910
of fish fence to keep it on our two acres even

00:04:54.910 --> 00:04:57.569
though it's not even though it's not invasive

00:04:57.569 --> 00:05:00.389
we want it to eat our grass not the rest of the

00:05:00.389 --> 00:05:03.610
world's yes so keep it local yes we have to make

00:05:03.610 --> 00:05:06.290
sure it can't wander and we have to register

00:05:06.290 --> 00:05:10.430
with the with the florida fish and game or fish

00:05:10.430 --> 00:05:13.389
and wildlife whatever it is so that's exciting

00:05:13.389 --> 00:05:16.009
but And are they expensive to buy? Where do you

00:05:16.009 --> 00:05:17.990
get them? I think, well, we don't know yet because

00:05:17.990 --> 00:05:19.689
we're still pricing it out, but I think they're

00:05:19.689 --> 00:05:21.389
about. Get some babies. I think they're about

00:05:21.389 --> 00:05:24.730
$70 a fish. Well, they're going to be this big.

00:05:24.790 --> 00:05:26.910
Right. They're not going to be babies long because

00:05:26.910 --> 00:05:30.389
they eat a lot. Yeah. And usually after about

00:05:30.389 --> 00:05:32.930
a week or two, you start to see the reduction.

00:05:33.149 --> 00:05:35.550
And then if they completely get rid of all that

00:05:35.550 --> 00:05:37.550
and they keep a lovely edge to your pond, you're

00:05:37.550 --> 00:05:40.430
going to have to hand feed them. Or just like.

00:05:41.699 --> 00:05:43.459
Well, they might run out of food. Let them transition

00:05:43.459 --> 00:05:45.000
to a different dimension. Okay, lift the fence

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.000
up and off you go. There you go. That's good.

00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:52.259
So it's been a week since I saw you. You're probably

00:05:52.259 --> 00:05:55.399
deep into renovations now. Yeah, the renovations

00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:58.459
are going really well and I had my new bookcases.

00:05:58.540 --> 00:06:01.480
But my big thing yesterday, and I love days like

00:06:01.480 --> 00:06:03.839
this, it was a very high vibration day. I woke

00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.399
up and I was outside. It was so beautiful to

00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.750
be out there. And then my son called, and he

00:06:09.750 --> 00:06:11.970
renovated a house about a year ago. And they

00:06:11.970 --> 00:06:14.129
had, talking of fish, he had a big koi pond.

00:06:14.810 --> 00:06:17.189
And it was about the size of this rug. Now, this

00:06:17.189 --> 00:06:19.529
is what, well, it's probably not quite as big

00:06:19.529 --> 00:06:21.529
as this. This is like an 8 by 10 rug, I think.

00:06:21.610 --> 00:06:24.350
So this is probably 6 by 8. And it was a koi

00:06:24.350 --> 00:06:26.290
pond. And he said, oi, mum, because he always

00:06:26.290 --> 00:06:28.649
tries to use an English accent, but he's an American

00:06:28.649 --> 00:06:31.329
accent. He said, oi, would you want some stones?

00:06:31.370 --> 00:06:33.769
And he sent me this picture. And some of these

00:06:33.769 --> 00:06:37.300
stones were this big. I mean, they weighed 70

00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:40.819
pounds. And he brought one of his workers over.

00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:43.620
And at the end of the pathway, which took us

00:06:43.620 --> 00:06:46.740
to the children's trampoline, I had him lay them

00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:50.420
in. It's like an oblong in a rectangle. And it's

00:06:50.420 --> 00:06:54.920
about four feet this way by about seven feet

00:06:54.920 --> 00:06:58.339
that way. And then I had it all laid out. So

00:06:58.339 --> 00:07:00.920
when he left, I had to walk up and kick it because

00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:02.959
I wanted to see where it was weak, right? Because

00:07:02.959 --> 00:07:05.639
I don't want this crumbling. So some places,

00:07:05.660 --> 00:07:08.019
then I had to rebuild where it was crumbling

00:07:08.019 --> 00:07:11.399
and pass it together like in a pattern. So a

00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.300
stone that went that way, I had to find one.

00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.680
And I'm walking around kicking it to see whether

00:07:15.680 --> 00:07:18.259
it's going to fall down. And I have this beautiful

00:07:18.259 --> 00:07:21.199
fire pit. And these stones didn't cost me a dime

00:07:21.199 --> 00:07:23.899
and they were delivered. And it just came out

00:07:23.899 --> 00:07:26.139
the blue. And I've been wanting... a fire pit

00:07:26.139 --> 00:07:30.139
for so long but a really nice one now i've got

00:07:30.139 --> 00:07:33.850
one so what i'm going to do so the fire pit You

00:07:33.850 --> 00:07:37.029
built it? Well, so the guy that was delivering

00:07:37.029 --> 00:07:40.350
the stones, I'd taken a spray can and I had drawn

00:07:40.350 --> 00:07:43.449
the rectangle with spray paint. And I told him

00:07:43.449 --> 00:07:46.069
I need it inside of the pathway. The pathway

00:07:46.069 --> 00:07:49.009
is this wide. So he knew where to lay them. And

00:07:49.009 --> 00:07:51.769
I said, put heavy stones at the bottom and get

00:07:51.769 --> 00:07:54.730
them lighter as you go up. So he built it and

00:07:54.730 --> 00:07:57.149
it looked lovely. But I didn't want to test it

00:07:57.149 --> 00:07:58.949
in front of him. But I needed to see where its

00:07:58.949 --> 00:08:01.490
weaknesses were. So I ended up last night on

00:08:01.490 --> 00:08:04.850
a little tiny twinge. in my back making this

00:08:04.850 --> 00:08:08.670
fire pit stable that you you know is going to

00:08:08.670 --> 00:08:10.649
be stable and then I went into the house and

00:08:10.649 --> 00:08:12.990
I'm all happy and pleased with myself and I got

00:08:12.990 --> 00:08:14.850
this beautiful gift these stones were expensive

00:08:14.850 --> 00:08:18.410
this would have been 700 at least if you had

00:08:18.410 --> 00:08:20.449
these delivered because they're really big and

00:08:20.449 --> 00:08:23.009
heavy and then I look at it and I hate it because

00:08:23.009 --> 00:08:27.110
it looks like a coffin All I'm seeing is like,

00:08:27.149 --> 00:08:28.889
that looks like a coffin. Oh, that's terrible.

00:08:29.089 --> 00:08:30.769
I know. And then I'm tripping. I'm like, why

00:08:30.769 --> 00:08:33.370
am I having this thought? And then I'm going

00:08:33.370 --> 00:08:35.830
back. Maybe this is some trigger from a, have

00:08:35.830 --> 00:08:38.730
I been buried? Like, I mean, this had a visceral

00:08:38.730 --> 00:08:41.710
effect on me. So now I've got to kick them all

00:08:41.710 --> 00:08:46.029
down and make a circle. oh my god yeah who would

00:08:46.029 --> 00:08:47.929
have thought it but it just looks like a coffin

00:08:47.929 --> 00:08:50.769
it's like a makeshift makeshift coffin you could

00:08:50.769 --> 00:08:54.610
you you could yeah like an ancient burial it's

00:08:54.610 --> 00:08:57.769
yes and it's really tripped me for some reason

00:08:57.769 --> 00:09:00.889
and i'm either gonna have to live with that and

00:09:00.889 --> 00:09:03.129
just say okay well that's that's the past life

00:09:03.129 --> 00:09:05.210
maybe because that's probably how a lot of us

00:09:05.210 --> 00:09:07.950
did die and i live with it or i make it into

00:09:07.950 --> 00:09:12.139
a circle So I don't know. But that was my best

00:09:12.139 --> 00:09:14.840
part of my evening last night. Loving it and

00:09:14.840 --> 00:09:17.519
hating it all in three minutes. Sounds like a

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.559
thrilling experience. I've been thinking a lot

00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.940
about past lives and future lives and things

00:09:22.940 --> 00:09:26.759
like that lately. And not like it's consuming,

00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:29.500
but it's coming through my mind. And part of

00:09:29.500 --> 00:09:34.299
the reason is because as I look at the world

00:09:34.299 --> 00:09:37.730
around me, A lot of the world is coming to realize

00:09:37.730 --> 00:09:40.129
that they've been lied to about so many things

00:09:40.129 --> 00:09:43.389
over their lives, like even simple things. But

00:09:43.389 --> 00:09:46.190
I want to get into this as well. Can I segue

00:09:46.190 --> 00:09:48.970
to something to bring us back into that? My basic

00:09:48.970 --> 00:09:51.710
point is that as I interact with the world around

00:09:51.710 --> 00:09:54.450
me, more and more people are asking questions

00:09:54.450 --> 00:09:58.230
that I've asked for years now, 20, 30, 40 years.

00:09:58.929 --> 00:10:02.370
And some of those questions actually come back

00:10:02.370 --> 00:10:05.740
to, is our history true or false? Yeah. And is

00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:08.840
what we think about ourselves true or false?

00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:12.590
Like what aspects about ourselves is true? Well,

00:10:12.690 --> 00:10:15.090
so this is very interesting. In the last episode,

00:10:15.269 --> 00:10:17.210
we talked about, I'd got nicked, hadn't I, for

00:10:17.210 --> 00:10:19.350
jumping a red light and we talked about law and

00:10:19.350 --> 00:10:22.669
order. I know. And it got into a whole thing

00:10:22.669 --> 00:10:24.970
and about good guys, how do we police ourselves?

00:10:25.090 --> 00:10:26.889
What do you do if people steal from you? What

00:10:26.889 --> 00:10:28.750
if they're selfish? What if they're inconsiderate?

00:10:29.129 --> 00:10:33.090
So, and then during the week at 4 .08 in the

00:10:33.090 --> 00:10:35.389
morning, Missy, you sent me this thing about

00:10:35.389 --> 00:10:37.230
the Gnostics. Well, you're supposed to mute your

00:10:37.230 --> 00:10:39.610
phone. I don't, I don't mute my phone because

00:10:39.610 --> 00:10:41.190
if my children need to call me in emergency,

00:10:41.330 --> 00:10:43.409
I have to. have my phone on but anyway i'm just

00:10:43.409 --> 00:10:45.409
i'm just i'm just trolling you it didn't wake

00:10:45.409 --> 00:10:47.669
me up i'm just i'm sorry you haven't got to be

00:10:47.669 --> 00:10:49.470
sorry because i've tried it didn't i'm getting

00:10:49.470 --> 00:10:51.509
in the morning i'm getting trolled on the air

00:10:51.509 --> 00:10:52.750
you're getting trolled on the air for something

00:10:52.750 --> 00:10:55.590
you didn't do well i did i sent it to you no

00:10:55.590 --> 00:10:57.649
but it didn't wake me up that's the whole point

00:10:57.649 --> 00:11:00.769
it really didn't but i but in the morning i looked

00:11:00.769 --> 00:11:02.850
at it and i and then so i listened to so that's

00:11:02.850 --> 00:11:04.789
what i've listened to in between last week's

00:11:04.789 --> 00:11:08.669
conversation and this one so the gnostics believe

00:11:08.669 --> 00:11:13.120
that this whole world is of a construct which

00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:17.059
is not of god that it's dark evil forces and

00:11:17.059 --> 00:11:19.720
the god that made this i think was sophia the

00:11:19.720 --> 00:11:22.759
demiurge and then the demiurge of created archons

00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.039
and the archons to me this is just another another

00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:29.059
devil construct you use that to map your belief

00:11:29.059 --> 00:11:31.860
system and you can do that and that is that you're

00:11:31.860 --> 00:11:35.259
living in something the only way to get out of

00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:37.559
this is to see the truth of what is going on

00:11:37.559 --> 00:11:41.980
here and ask questions questions and enliven

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:45.820
your mind to see that this is not of god and

00:11:45.820 --> 00:11:48.519
we've got to get the fuck out of here so i was

00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:51.000
thinking of that as a belief system because it

00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:54.299
isn't mine so my belief system and it doesn't

00:11:54.299 --> 00:11:56.360
we all have belief systems whether we realize

00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:00.299
that or not but mine is that what has happened

00:12:00.299 --> 00:12:02.659
in the world we have this massive external reality

00:12:02.659 --> 00:12:06.159
and it's beautiful in so many areas and we don't

00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:08.100
talk enough about that but it's very corrupt

00:12:08.100 --> 00:12:11.820
and corrupt and dark in other areas. This is

00:12:11.820 --> 00:12:14.200
of God. It isn't because there's archons and

00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:17.879
demiurges and devils running around. God created

00:12:17.879 --> 00:12:20.700
man with a mind. And if you look at your mind

00:12:20.700 --> 00:12:22.500
and I look at my mind and everyone listening

00:12:22.500 --> 00:12:25.379
to this show is honest about their own mind,

00:12:25.500 --> 00:12:28.919
and then you just scale that up to 8 billion

00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:32.600
people, all external reality is is a manifestation

00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:36.539
of what man has created in his own mind. And

00:12:36.539 --> 00:12:39.950
has man had selfishness? thoughts has man been

00:12:39.950 --> 00:12:42.990
impatient has he be unkind in his thinking has

00:12:42.990 --> 00:12:47.029
he done the wrong thing has his mind been pure

00:12:47.029 --> 00:12:50.129
because we talk about wanting to tackle external

00:12:50.129 --> 00:12:53.169
reality but if you believe there's a demiurge

00:12:53.169 --> 00:12:55.309
and you believe in archons and that will be your

00:12:55.309 --> 00:12:59.009
reality but for me i would say explore external

00:12:59.009 --> 00:13:02.610
reality but understand how powerful you you will

00:13:02.610 --> 00:13:06.710
get a manifestation of a pure mind and all and

00:13:06.710 --> 00:13:09.870
and there's no devil running around god is in

00:13:09.870 --> 00:13:12.590
control of everything he created or he's not

00:13:12.590 --> 00:13:15.490
that's it that's the premise of any question

00:13:15.490 --> 00:13:18.470
is god in control of everything he created and

00:13:18.470 --> 00:13:20.490
the gnostics don't think that he is they don't

00:13:20.490 --> 00:13:23.169
think this is of god so whilst i believe that

00:13:23.169 --> 00:13:25.570
gnostics have a lot of good things to say i didn't

00:13:25.570 --> 00:13:28.409
agree with their central premise and this idea

00:13:28.409 --> 00:13:31.509
of fixing the outside world i think should be

00:13:31.509 --> 00:13:34.370
secondary to fixing what's going on in our own

00:13:34.370 --> 00:13:39.289
minds I agree with everything you said because

00:13:39.289 --> 00:13:41.929
I sent that to you because I thought it was interesting.

00:13:42.610 --> 00:13:45.269
Oh, it was. I listened to it three times. It

00:13:45.269 --> 00:13:48.190
was great. You laid it out well. I also disagree

00:13:48.190 --> 00:13:51.769
with the premise. So you came to the same conclusion

00:13:51.769 --> 00:13:57.250
as did I. We're so close on this. It's amazing.

00:13:57.529 --> 00:14:01.710
But external reality, we've got to fix external

00:14:01.710 --> 00:14:04.289
reality because we've got to be kind. We've got

00:14:04.289 --> 00:14:06.330
to be generous, loving and giving and kind. And

00:14:06.330 --> 00:14:09.470
the external world is our forum in which to express

00:14:09.470 --> 00:14:12.590
that. But there is nothing wrong with the world.

00:14:12.649 --> 00:14:14.950
If you look at the world and look at the 8 billion

00:14:14.950 --> 00:14:18.929
souls, all this is in the world is a representation

00:14:18.929 --> 00:14:22.929
of everything human beings think about en masse.

00:14:23.960 --> 00:14:27.159
You live in a bubble like I do, a beautiful bubble,

00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.820
and you have very much control over your existence.

00:14:29.899 --> 00:14:32.860
You haven't been blessed, you've earned it, but

00:14:32.860 --> 00:14:36.740
you're very comfortable. So your reality is this

00:14:36.740 --> 00:14:39.100
very, very nice one where you can be creative.

00:14:39.500 --> 00:14:41.580
There are other realities which you've experienced

00:14:41.580 --> 00:14:43.860
in this life where you're in the pits. You are

00:14:43.860 --> 00:14:46.259
down on rock bottom and in the hog pen, right?

00:14:46.379 --> 00:14:49.159
Most of my life. So we've all been there. But

00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:52.379
whatever is going on in the world, I think it's...

00:14:54.179 --> 00:14:57.259
We have to fix it internally. You don't fix it

00:14:57.259 --> 00:15:00.279
on the outside. So every person can control their

00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:04.600
reality within this consensus reality. The more

00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:07.019
people do that in their individual bubbles, the

00:15:07.019 --> 00:15:09.320
more those bubbles link up and become one bigger

00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.539
one, and it's like a pleasant virus at that point.

00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.220
It gets bigger, and that's our job to do that.

00:15:15.379 --> 00:15:17.440
But I just don't see that there's anything wrong

00:15:17.440 --> 00:15:19.299
with the world, and I would recommend to our

00:15:19.299 --> 00:15:21.720
listeners, understand external reality, and we

00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.899
can play around with that, but really be sure

00:15:23.899 --> 00:15:26.860
that your mind is pure. Because if you're thinking

00:15:26.860 --> 00:15:29.500
selfishly, you're bitching about something, and

00:15:29.500 --> 00:15:31.220
you could do this with a smile on your face.

00:15:31.340 --> 00:15:33.440
You haven't got to be obvious about it. But how

00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.860
pure and clean is your mind? And that will determine

00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:39.740
what gets reflected in your reality. And that's

00:15:39.740 --> 00:15:42.840
where the real work is. Not even getting too

00:15:42.840 --> 00:15:44.799
involved with what's going on out in the world,

00:15:44.820 --> 00:15:46.320
unless you can fix it, unless you have money.

00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:48.419
Without that, you're fucked. You're not going

00:15:48.419 --> 00:15:52.600
to be able to do much at all. There's about 10

00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:57.139
different ways we can take this. The first way

00:15:57.139 --> 00:16:00.080
that jumps out at me is this idea of what is

00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:02.559
reality? Is it in us? Is it within us? Are we

00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:04.440
projecting reality? Because there's a lot of

00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:07.139
people... When you mean projecting, do you mean

00:16:07.139 --> 00:16:09.559
creating it with our thoughts and visions? Well,

00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.259
you know, a lot of people think our vision, our

00:16:13.259 --> 00:16:18.080
eyes, these two orbs, these two orbs, these are,

00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:22.500
to me, these eyes are receptors. These eyes we

00:16:22.500 --> 00:16:26.419
use to receive information. But we have, when

00:16:26.419 --> 00:16:28.700
you look at the physiological construct of your

00:16:28.700 --> 00:16:32.200
third eye, it's actually a projector. The pineal

00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:35.399
gland. The pineal gland. We can actually project.

00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:39.360
Yes. Right? So we're doing both. But that's the

00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:42.399
point. We're doing both. Yeah. So part of it

00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.440
is, because there's always this dance. Like you

00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.000
say, okay, we live in this little bubble. Well.

00:16:48.580 --> 00:16:51.019
Everyone does. Not just you and I. Everyone has

00:16:51.019 --> 00:16:53.919
a little bubble. But they're concentric bubbles.

00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:57.620
Because the closest bubble is me. Your bubble

00:16:57.620 --> 00:17:00.759
is touching my bubble. And you know, Robin, she's

00:17:00.759 --> 00:17:03.220
my closest bubble. And then my closest friends

00:17:03.220 --> 00:17:06.420
like you, you're my next closest bubble. So think

00:17:06.420 --> 00:17:09.079
about that for a bit in terms of concentric circles

00:17:09.079 --> 00:17:13.700
or concentric spheres of influence. Because you've

00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:16.039
heard it said, you become like the people with

00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:20.849
whom you associate. And that's very true. Not

00:17:20.849 --> 00:17:23.269
necessarily, though. Do you think we become like

00:17:23.269 --> 00:17:25.490
the people we associate with? Well, I think that...

00:17:25.490 --> 00:17:27.269
I think I can live independently and maintain

00:17:27.269 --> 00:17:29.109
Sarah no matter what company I keep. Oh, yeah,

00:17:29.130 --> 00:17:30.869
but that's not what... There's more to the statement

00:17:30.869 --> 00:17:34.049
than just like... If I'm running around barefoot

00:17:34.049 --> 00:17:35.549
in the garden all the time and you want to wear

00:17:35.549 --> 00:17:37.730
your heels, you're going to wear your heels and

00:17:37.730 --> 00:17:40.509
I'm going to be barefoot, right? So it's not

00:17:40.509 --> 00:17:43.089
like you're going to become like that. This is

00:17:43.089 --> 00:17:45.009
more of a statement of consciousness and resonance.

00:17:45.690 --> 00:17:49.450
Okay. So if you're hanging around with a... Oh,

00:17:49.609 --> 00:17:52.250
I see. Just in terms. Yes. Okay. Of their vibration.

00:17:52.430 --> 00:17:53.130
If you're hanging around with somebody that's

00:17:53.130 --> 00:17:56.849
just a real negative, foul mouth, you know, beats

00:17:56.849 --> 00:17:59.170
his kids. I mean, just if you're hanging around

00:17:59.170 --> 00:18:01.970
with somebody who's just absolutely foul. Oh,

00:18:01.990 --> 00:18:04.069
to maintain your vibration in that, you have

00:18:04.069 --> 00:18:06.009
to be very awake. You're going to have, you're

00:18:06.009 --> 00:18:09.150
going to end up being at least biased. a little

00:18:09.150 --> 00:18:11.690
bit towards the foulness. It's very difficult.

00:18:11.809 --> 00:18:13.789
It takes a very strong person. Yes. If you can

00:18:13.789 --> 00:18:16.690
stay awake and not let it affect you, it's very

00:18:16.690 --> 00:18:18.910
good to test yourself in that. You and I, well,

00:18:19.029 --> 00:18:21.720
I do it all the time. I go right into the darkness

00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:25.299
because I've figured out the darkness. You don't

00:18:25.299 --> 00:18:28.220
have to become dark. It has happened to me where

00:18:28.220 --> 00:18:30.640
I've been sucked in, though, where I have been

00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.819
and I realize I need to get the fuck out of here

00:18:34.819 --> 00:18:37.500
and I need to go home and recalibrate. I think

00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:40.740
it's a good spiritual to hold your vibration

00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:44.349
no matter what is going on around you. Key. And

00:18:44.349 --> 00:18:46.069
that was with people, things, circumstances,

00:18:46.109 --> 00:18:49.309
but with people. You can be around a low vibration,

00:18:49.349 --> 00:18:53.450
but you don't want to lose control of your own

00:18:53.450 --> 00:18:59.190
vibration. Right. So my statement was that it's

00:18:59.190 --> 00:19:01.750
a popular adage out there that you become like

00:19:01.750 --> 00:19:03.970
the people with whom you're associated. I don't

00:19:03.970 --> 00:19:06.900
think necessarily. Yes, I see it from the point

00:19:06.900 --> 00:19:09.420
of view that you're saying, yes. You're talking

00:19:09.420 --> 00:19:12.039
about the vibration. I think you can maintain

00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:14.079
a high vibration. Well, I'm talking about everything.

00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:16.519
So if I'm hanging around with Sarah and your

00:19:16.519 --> 00:19:19.599
vernacular, your selection of words, the words

00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:24.480
you use are at a college level. And I come in

00:19:24.480 --> 00:19:27.059
at a fifth grade level and I'm just using basic

00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:31.140
words. My association with you is going to elevate

00:19:31.140 --> 00:19:34.650
my vocabulary. Yes, I agree with that. Okay,

00:19:34.890 --> 00:19:39.329
so I will rub. In that context, I agree. If you're

00:19:39.329 --> 00:19:43.150
a chef and I watch you and I see that you cut

00:19:43.150 --> 00:19:44.809
the broccoli and there's a little mess. But you're

00:19:44.809 --> 00:19:46.710
talking about learning a trade here. I'm talking

00:19:46.710 --> 00:19:49.109
about anything. Okay, so that could be learning.

00:19:49.170 --> 00:19:50.710
I'm going to become more like you. I'm going

00:19:50.710 --> 00:19:53.069
to become less like you. I don't like you. You

00:19:53.069 --> 00:19:55.910
interrupted me three times about this. Interjected.

00:19:56.349 --> 00:20:01.500
That too. My question is, what is it about you

00:20:01.500 --> 00:20:04.819
not being influenced by other people that bothers

00:20:04.819 --> 00:20:07.079
you? It's not being influenced by other people.

00:20:07.700 --> 00:20:10.079
That's fine. I'm talking about being influenced

00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:14.000
by someone's vibration. But what if you are?

00:20:14.299 --> 00:20:16.680
Well, you don't have to be. You don't have to

00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:20.980
be. They don't have to. have you lose your vibration

00:20:20.980 --> 00:20:24.359
you could go into into a dark situation and you

00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:28.000
can maintain thoughts of health purity love you

00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.240
don't have to sink because that actually does

00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:33.279
have an empathetic effect and I've been in situations

00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.759
where I've fallen into that and the reason I

00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:38.339
can talk about it is because I realized I had

00:20:38.339 --> 00:20:40.960
to get out of it got myself out because I could

00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:43.900
feel it was like vampires it was a weird energy

00:20:43.900 --> 00:20:46.740
suck on me but then what I've trained myself

00:20:46.740 --> 00:20:50.119
to do now It doesn't do that to me anymore. I

00:20:50.119 --> 00:20:52.400
can be in those situations and I don't lose my

00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:54.759
shit. You and I are in complete agreement on

00:20:54.759 --> 00:20:59.640
that. I completely agree with you. But you were

00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:03.519
influenced by that experience. Yes, to train

00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:05.880
myself that I don't need to be influenced by

00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:08.000
the vibration. So you wouldn't be the person

00:21:08.000 --> 00:21:11.880
you are if you weren't influenced by that energy,

00:21:12.019 --> 00:21:14.960
by those behaviors. Yes. So my point is this.

00:21:16.619 --> 00:21:20.079
You made a conscious decision. Okay, so say there's

00:21:20.079 --> 00:21:22.640
this dark person that's going to pull you, suck

00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:24.819
you into this cesspool, right? There's this darkness.

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:27.920
You recognize at some points in your life, maybe

00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:30.259
you got sucked in, but you learn from it. And

00:21:30.259 --> 00:21:33.299
as a conscious, as a divine sovereign, as a conscious

00:21:33.299 --> 00:21:37.119
co -creator, you recognize it's like, this is

00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.259
not the place I want to be, nor should I be.

00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:46.059
And you chose a different. You mentally used

00:21:46.059 --> 00:21:48.640
your brain to choose a different resonance. How

00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:52.460
valuable was that darkness? Very valuable. That's

00:21:52.460 --> 00:21:54.819
exactly right. Yeah. So we have to acknowledge

00:21:54.819 --> 00:21:58.740
that those dark places, experiences, whatever

00:21:58.740 --> 00:22:02.259
they are, they have value. It doesn't mean I

00:22:02.259 --> 00:22:04.079
need to go dance with it. I don't need to become

00:22:04.079 --> 00:22:07.440
it. But you become like that person or you become

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:12.619
like that experience. You look at people like

00:22:12.619 --> 00:22:16.140
Jesus the Christ, right? Became incarnate. Why?

00:22:16.380 --> 00:22:17.900
You don't have to do this. You don't have to

00:22:17.900 --> 00:22:20.559
come into this world. You don't have to do this.

00:22:20.819 --> 00:22:23.180
Why did you become incarnate? You came down to

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:27.119
this lower density, this earth space. Why? Same

00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.079
reason you and I did. To be an example of what

00:22:30.079 --> 00:22:32.039
the light looks like. Well, we had to experience

00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:35.940
it. I could explain to you. I could say, Sarah.

00:22:36.829 --> 00:22:38.930
We're agreeing, by the way, about the usefulness

00:22:38.930 --> 00:22:40.529
of light. We're totally in agreement. And dark,

00:22:40.710 --> 00:22:43.150
yeah. You and I are in total agreement, but I'm

00:22:43.150 --> 00:22:45.869
just trying to... But it's God made. God designed

00:22:45.869 --> 00:22:48.769
it. It's not because what God did, it is not

00:22:48.769 --> 00:22:50.950
a perversion of what God intended. No, it's a...

00:22:50.950 --> 00:22:53.029
It was designed to be this way. I think if somebody

00:22:53.029 --> 00:22:54.910
is completely honest and they, whatever their

00:22:54.910 --> 00:22:57.369
scriptures are, they could be Buddhist or Muslim

00:22:57.369 --> 00:23:01.269
or Christian or whatever their source is, they

00:23:01.269 --> 00:23:03.670
could even be, they could even worship the stars.

00:23:04.400 --> 00:23:08.220
Whatever their thing is, what we're talking about

00:23:08.220 --> 00:23:13.119
is going to connect all those points. It's going

00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:19.660
to connect those. When we talk about coming into

00:23:19.660 --> 00:23:23.420
this thicker, denser earth space, you and I have

00:23:23.420 --> 00:23:26.779
both said, I'm pretty sure we came here voluntarily.

00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:28.740
We had an agreement. We knew what we're getting

00:23:28.740 --> 00:23:33.400
into. I liken it to you and me going out on a...

00:23:33.869 --> 00:23:37.049
a catamaran we're out on this cabin cruiser triple

00:23:37.049 --> 00:23:40.410
hull cabin cruiser beautiful right we have the

00:23:40.410 --> 00:23:44.089
um the chef cooking for us we're out there just

00:23:44.089 --> 00:23:47.890
getting some sunshine and i jump into the water

00:23:47.890 --> 00:23:52.730
and i jump right out and you're like what's up

00:23:52.730 --> 00:23:56.170
and i said it's freezing right and you're like

00:23:56.170 --> 00:23:58.289
it's a beautiful tropical day how can there be

00:23:58.289 --> 00:24:01.420
freezing water like so you won't even know what

00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:03.119
the experience is because i can explain it's

00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:05.140
like look at me you know i'm shivering my look

00:24:05.140 --> 00:24:08.099
at my goose i can explain it to you literally

00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:09.980
till i'm blue in the light describing eating

00:24:09.980 --> 00:24:12.519
chocolate but you won't experience it until you

00:24:12.519 --> 00:24:14.380
jump into it yeah and then you're gonna jump

00:24:14.380 --> 00:24:18.980
right out go man that was messed up And I think

00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:21.880
life is so much easier if you can understand

00:24:21.880 --> 00:24:25.279
darkness from the fact that it allows us to experience

00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:28.000
opposites. But when you come in with a belief

00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:31.039
system that tells you this is fucked up, that

00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:35.180
you're a slave to dark forces, it's going to

00:24:35.180 --> 00:24:38.220
be more difficult for you to hold an inner vibration

00:24:38.220 --> 00:24:40.539
because you're already living in a fearful world.

00:24:40.660 --> 00:24:43.359
Because if you believe that's reality, then God

00:24:43.359 --> 00:24:46.279
is not in control of everything he created. That's

00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:49.809
such a... flimsy premise to build a belief system

00:24:49.809 --> 00:24:54.029
around i agree with you i gotta tell you this

00:24:54.029 --> 00:24:56.789
this i'm going to just share with you this experience

00:24:56.789 --> 00:25:00.829
i had this week and all of these things we're

00:25:00.829 --> 00:25:03.109
talking about it just seemed to come together

00:25:03.109 --> 00:25:06.710
all at the same time in the same experience and

00:25:06.710 --> 00:25:09.970
but in a slightly different way but the takeaways

00:25:09.970 --> 00:25:15.369
were the same so several years ago i'm we were

00:25:15.369 --> 00:25:18.990
at a A gathering, you know, party and probably

00:25:18.990 --> 00:25:22.049
30, 40 people there. And Robin and I were just

00:25:22.049 --> 00:25:24.309
visiting, making new friends, really. Was that

00:25:24.309 --> 00:25:27.210
in this area? Yeah, it was in Claremont. We were

00:25:27.210 --> 00:25:29.470
invited to just a gathering. It was like some

00:25:29.470 --> 00:25:32.450
like -minded individuals about personal sovereignty.

00:25:33.190 --> 00:25:36.670
And so we were at the party. We met a whole bunch

00:25:36.670 --> 00:25:39.250
of people. And from that one party, we literally

00:25:39.250 --> 00:25:44.869
met probably... 10 to 12 just really good family

00:25:44.869 --> 00:25:46.589
friends. People we could just say, yeah, we could

00:25:46.589 --> 00:25:48.450
have them over and trust them with, you know.

00:25:48.569 --> 00:25:50.089
Yeah, you could just be cool. Give them the keys

00:25:50.089 --> 00:25:52.789
to my car or whatever. They'd be fine. Good people.

00:25:53.609 --> 00:25:56.549
Well, one of my favorites just passed away a

00:25:56.549 --> 00:25:59.650
couple weeks ago, a few weeks ago. He was a naturopath

00:25:59.650 --> 00:26:05.470
doctor by title. He still ate a bunch of dead

00:26:05.470 --> 00:26:07.809
animals and rich foods and all that stuff. How

00:26:07.809 --> 00:26:08.890
old was he when he passed? Oh, he was probably,

00:26:09.029 --> 00:26:11.029
I think he was 10 years my senior. So maybe.

00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:15.099
Early 70s, mid 70s, you know, still young. What

00:26:15.099 --> 00:26:16.940
did he pass off, if you don't mind me asking?

00:26:18.559 --> 00:26:24.119
Cancer. Okay. And so, you know, the thing is,

00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:27.400
he and I had so many similar beliefs, but the

00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:29.099
way we approached the world was so different.

00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:32.039
So his thing was, well, I can live however I

00:26:32.039 --> 00:26:34.619
want, eat whatever I want, drink whatever I want,

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:37.099
have whatever rich desserts I want, whatever

00:26:37.099 --> 00:26:38.980
processed food I want. I can have whatever I

00:26:38.980 --> 00:26:42.369
want because I'm a naturopath. And if I just

00:26:42.369 --> 00:26:47.210
take the right minerals and be around these healing

00:26:47.210 --> 00:26:51.720
frequencies and stuff. I will not suffer. I've

00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:54.559
read that theory before. It was in the Seth material.

00:26:54.660 --> 00:26:57.480
It was Jane Roberts. Who's Seth material? I don't

00:26:57.480 --> 00:26:59.900
know who that is. So Seth was, she channeled

00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:04.880
him. So as this entity, famous books in the late

00:27:04.880 --> 00:27:07.819
1970s, Jane Roberts, and she would go into a

00:27:07.819 --> 00:27:10.460
trance and she'd channel. And when you listen

00:27:10.460 --> 00:27:13.299
to the quality of the information, it's quite

00:27:13.299 --> 00:27:16.960
obviously. Of a very high quality. And I don't

00:27:16.960 --> 00:27:18.900
judge where that information is coming from.

00:27:19.420 --> 00:27:23.460
She says it's not me. And so Seth would talk

00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:25.680
and it was in the nature of personal reality.

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.180
And it talked about something is only bad for

00:27:30.180 --> 00:27:33.180
you if you believe it is. If you don't believe

00:27:33.180 --> 00:27:36.359
it is, it won't be. Now, he didn't use those

00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:38.720
words, but he was very brief in how he channeled

00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:41.539
this through Jane Roberts. And it just staggered

00:27:41.539 --> 00:27:44.380
me. What if belief is that powerful? Because

00:27:44.380 --> 00:27:46.680
your friend who passed, he's kind of digging

00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:49.119
into that area. If I keep the right frequency,

00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:51.920
keep a clean mind and I believe. I can do whatever

00:27:51.920 --> 00:27:55.759
I want. And so he did, but he didn't. Maybe he

00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:57.900
probably wanted to live to his 90. Maybe he just

00:27:57.900 --> 00:27:59.359
wanted to check out when he was in his early

00:27:59.359 --> 00:28:02.960
70s. So did he succeed? Did he have a happy life?

00:28:03.259 --> 00:28:06.819
Was he joyous? The short answer is yes, and I'll

00:28:06.819 --> 00:28:09.339
get into the story. He was a very devout Christian,

00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:12.460
like a Baptist, just a really hardcore Christian.

00:28:13.079 --> 00:28:18.039
So from his paradigm, he lived a life according

00:28:18.039 --> 00:28:21.549
to the Bible. Lived according to the scriptures.

00:28:22.130 --> 00:28:26.369
And he accepted Jesus as his savior. And he left

00:28:26.369 --> 00:28:30.509
this space, by all measurements, a very, very

00:28:30.509 --> 00:28:32.410
happy person. Knowing he's going on to heaven.

00:28:32.769 --> 00:28:35.109
Knowing he's going to go to heaven. Way better

00:28:35.109 --> 00:28:37.829
there. What if there's not, though? Jesus. So

00:28:37.829 --> 00:28:40.869
you actually jumped. Oh, did I? I'm sorry, darling.

00:28:40.930 --> 00:28:42.970
I'm just going to suck on my straw. I'll keep

00:28:42.970 --> 00:28:48.250
my mouth shut. So I went to this celebration

00:28:48.250 --> 00:28:53.680
of life. And it was really beautiful. There was

00:28:53.680 --> 00:28:56.420
just a small reception area. It was very packed

00:28:56.420 --> 00:29:00.660
with people and extremely well done. Beautiful,

00:29:00.920 --> 00:29:07.319
simple. The surviving spouse was there. The children

00:29:07.319 --> 00:29:10.579
and grandchildren were there. They all seemed

00:29:10.579 --> 00:29:13.769
genuinely happy or not. Not as distressed. I

00:29:13.769 --> 00:29:16.109
think I was more distressed about losing my friend

00:29:16.109 --> 00:29:18.569
than... Well, if you had an absolute rigid belief

00:29:18.569 --> 00:29:20.670
that if you followed the tenets of the Bible

00:29:20.670 --> 00:29:23.529
and... Put your life over to Jesus. What you're

00:29:23.529 --> 00:29:25.829
going to get is what you've always wanted here.

00:29:26.089 --> 00:29:29.269
You've wanted a big house, no money worries,

00:29:29.369 --> 00:29:32.049
freedom to do whatever you want. You want flowers

00:29:32.049 --> 00:29:34.289
and meadows and lovely temperatures. You don't

00:29:34.289 --> 00:29:37.009
want weeds. You don't want crime. You just want

00:29:37.009 --> 00:29:40.509
this beautiful hedonistic paradise because Christianity

00:29:40.509 --> 00:29:42.910
ends it there. You'll be in one of God's many

00:29:42.910 --> 00:29:45.069
mansions. We don't know what that means. But

00:29:45.069 --> 00:29:48.309
everyone is looking to get off this planet and

00:29:48.309 --> 00:29:50.430
just get this freaking life that they've always

00:29:50.430 --> 00:29:53.039
wanted. wanted which we free of the stern realities

00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:55.039
that we experience in this dense environment

00:29:55.039 --> 00:29:59.059
so i get i get but and and islam a lot of the

00:29:59.059 --> 00:30:01.099
people the men in islam they believe they're

00:30:01.099 --> 00:30:03.140
going to this paradise it's a different rendition

00:30:03.140 --> 00:30:06.019
of heaven and there's virgins and women and it's

00:30:06.019 --> 00:30:07.779
sort of feeding a lot of grapes and then they

00:30:07.779 --> 00:30:09.700
wipe their memory clean and this all goes on

00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:12.900
the next day and you can understand why people

00:30:12.900 --> 00:30:15.420
would really fall prey to the fact that you're

00:30:15.420 --> 00:30:18.359
going into this cosmic hedonism of butany and

00:30:18.359 --> 00:30:20.769
perhaps just everything you've always wanted

00:30:20.769 --> 00:30:24.109
well what if that isn't happening but I understand

00:30:24.109 --> 00:30:27.900
the seduction of believing in that But that would

00:30:27.900 --> 00:30:30.180
be really boring. There was a Star Trek episode

00:30:30.180 --> 00:30:33.380
with Q, and Q could just... That was good. And

00:30:33.380 --> 00:30:37.859
he sat on a porch on a swing for 300 years because

00:30:37.859 --> 00:30:39.420
he had done everything. And I thought, that's

00:30:39.420 --> 00:30:42.059
what's going to... So I don't get that version

00:30:42.059 --> 00:30:45.339
of the afterlife. But I can understand your friends

00:30:45.339 --> 00:30:48.140
when you went to this memorial. They were happy.

00:30:48.400 --> 00:30:50.539
They believe in an afterlife. They believe in

00:30:50.539 --> 00:30:52.599
a loving God. He gets to go somewhere nice. They'll

00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:54.460
catch up with him down the line, and they'll

00:30:54.460 --> 00:30:57.579
all be happy and together again. I guess part

00:30:57.579 --> 00:31:00.259
of, there's a reason I'm saying this story because

00:31:00.259 --> 00:31:03.839
I entered that with the idea that I was going

00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:06.259
to show up and support the family, give them

00:31:06.259 --> 00:31:09.039
hugs. They were all fine. And they were just

00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:12.200
fine. I was the one that was just like, oh, I'm

00:31:12.200 --> 00:31:16.789
going to miss my friend. I was like. No, not

00:31:16.789 --> 00:31:20.349
to say that they didn't. No, you're not undermining

00:31:20.349 --> 00:31:23.509
there. I was just very surprised that everyone

00:31:23.509 --> 00:31:25.329
was joyful. I'm not going to see him again. Yeah,

00:31:25.369 --> 00:31:27.349
you were actually mourning. I was really mourning.

00:31:27.390 --> 00:31:31.089
Well, he passed away a month ago. Yeah, but you've

00:31:31.089 --> 00:31:32.509
got to live without him now. This was my first

00:31:32.509 --> 00:31:37.230
reality. We weren't bosom buddies. We're pure

00:31:37.230 --> 00:31:40.119
doctors. We're pure doctors. He was an astropath.

00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:43.240
I'm a PhD. We shared a lot of things, but we

00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:45.539
also saw a lot of things differently. The point

00:31:45.539 --> 00:31:48.859
with this experience was this. I thought it was

00:31:48.859 --> 00:31:52.440
just going to be come and visit, celebrate, talk

00:31:52.440 --> 00:31:54.539
about a few things and then leave. Turned out

00:31:54.539 --> 00:31:57.420
to be almost three hours long. They ushered us

00:31:57.420 --> 00:32:01.720
into the church, which to me was excruciatingly

00:32:01.720 --> 00:32:04.359
uncomfortable. Oh, was it? For me. What? Because

00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.509
it was too hot? No, the temperature is fine.

00:32:07.589 --> 00:32:09.789
It's just the whole churchy experience. I'm not

00:32:09.789 --> 00:32:13.950
a churchy person. I just don't have a good experience

00:32:13.950 --> 00:32:15.869
with some church experiences. Buildings, the

00:32:15.869 --> 00:32:19.109
actual buildings. No, not the building. The building

00:32:19.109 --> 00:32:22.369
was beautiful. The church experience, I just

00:32:22.369 --> 00:32:26.170
was not comfortable there. So I took a seat by

00:32:26.170 --> 00:32:30.349
an aisle in case I needed to get out. Did you

00:32:30.349 --> 00:32:33.289
leave your engine running? No. I was there to

00:32:33.289 --> 00:32:35.190
support the family and I would never just bail

00:32:35.190 --> 00:32:37.430
out. although I thought about it multiple times,

00:32:37.569 --> 00:32:41.150
the first two thirds was all about him and his

00:32:41.150 --> 00:32:44.549
life, his beautiful, his people, his friends

00:32:44.549 --> 00:32:46.950
talking. They had videos recorded, pictures of

00:32:46.950 --> 00:32:49.190
growing up. His experiences. It was beautiful.

00:32:49.589 --> 00:32:54.650
But then this minister came up for one hour,

00:32:54.710 --> 00:33:00.609
talked about stuff. About what? About him? No,

00:33:00.650 --> 00:33:04.250
about... About the Bible? Yes. It was a full

00:33:04.250 --> 00:33:06.789
-on. Church service. It was a full -on church

00:33:06.789 --> 00:33:09.609
service, which if I knew that was going to happen,

00:33:09.630 --> 00:33:11.210
I probably wouldn't have gone. I'd have just

00:33:11.210 --> 00:33:13.109
walked out. Well, I didn't want to disrespect

00:33:13.109 --> 00:33:15.930
the family. It wouldn't be, though. You wouldn't

00:33:15.930 --> 00:33:18.329
have to disrespect them. I'd have just said to

00:33:18.329 --> 00:33:19.910
them, I'm sorry, I had to leave. But here's the

00:33:19.910 --> 00:33:21.769
thing. I felt like it was a bait and switch.

00:33:22.549 --> 00:33:25.410
It was the same. Yeah, okay. It was the same

00:33:25.410 --> 00:33:29.059
story. The same story. I could almost have scripted

00:33:29.059 --> 00:33:31.359
it because I've heard it so many times from so

00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:35.259
many ministers over my past 62 years. And it

00:33:35.259 --> 00:33:39.200
was nauseating. You felt hijacked. Well, prior

00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:42.059
to that, I was at a VA appointment just as a

00:33:42.059 --> 00:33:44.940
follow -up. And they take my blood pressure and

00:33:44.940 --> 00:33:48.460
it's like 112 over 65 or something. That's what

00:33:48.460 --> 00:33:50.759
mine is. It's like nothing. It's just the normal.

00:33:50.900 --> 00:33:53.900
Now we're up at 140 over 120. I promise I was

00:33:53.900 --> 00:33:57.440
probably double that. But to the point. What

00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:00.160
goal do you set? Go ahead. But to the point,

00:34:00.240 --> 00:34:06.779
I kept on asking myself, what is here in this,

00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:11.019
for my world, hideous experience? Yeah. That

00:34:11.019 --> 00:34:13.159
I can benefit, that I can take benefit from.

00:34:13.300 --> 00:34:15.679
Having self -control. And so I really reeled

00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:19.860
my mind in. Good. And I said, okay, what can

00:34:19.860 --> 00:34:25.900
I celebrate? There's no way in the world I would

00:34:25.900 --> 00:34:28.780
ever volunteer to be right here right now if

00:34:28.780 --> 00:34:30.699
I wasn't supporting this family. But you consciously,

00:34:30.980 --> 00:34:33.639
what good can I see in this? That's very conscious.

00:34:34.039 --> 00:34:36.139
What did you come up with? Well, the first thing

00:34:36.139 --> 00:34:39.030
I did was I started breathing. Okay, good. I

00:34:39.030 --> 00:34:41.469
sat like this. At least you're not stuck down

00:34:41.469 --> 00:34:44.389
a coal mine. You've got air. Closing your eyes

00:34:44.389 --> 00:34:46.469
is a good one. I literally closed my eyes. Oh,

00:34:46.510 --> 00:34:47.690
I would have done that. You want to get that

00:34:47.690 --> 00:34:49.949
out. I closed my eyes and I started breathing.

00:34:50.210 --> 00:34:52.050
I'd have put some earbuds in. And then while

00:34:52.050 --> 00:34:55.349
the preacher was preaching, instead of focusing

00:34:55.349 --> 00:34:58.750
on his words, he had a great keyboard player.

00:34:59.030 --> 00:35:01.429
Oh. And the keyboard player was just putting

00:35:01.429 --> 00:35:04.039
in the... like some beautiful chords. Yes. I've

00:35:04.039 --> 00:35:05.599
seen that done. It's quite, it's quite good.

00:35:05.699 --> 00:35:07.679
It's pretty impactful. So then what I started

00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:11.500
doing was entering this as a musician. Oh, nice.

00:35:11.940 --> 00:35:15.639
So I took this shit sandwich, shit sandwich.

00:35:16.579 --> 00:35:20.079
And I thought your vibration, this, this keyboard

00:35:20.079 --> 00:35:22.320
player was freaking amazing. Yeah. Cause when

00:35:22.320 --> 00:35:24.860
the preacher would raise his hand, he didn't

00:35:24.860 --> 00:35:28.000
get dramatic. You do this hellfire and brimstone

00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.000
thing. And all the people would do this with

00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:33.289
their hands and all this. The musician responded

00:35:33.289 --> 00:35:36.989
very tastefully, very subtly with music. But

00:35:36.989 --> 00:35:39.889
amplifying the moment. I've heard it done well.

00:35:39.929 --> 00:35:41.929
And you just tuned all that bullshit out and

00:35:41.929 --> 00:35:43.250
now just listen to the music. No, but this guy

00:35:43.250 --> 00:35:46.750
rocked it because he was so good. He was just,

00:35:46.809 --> 00:35:50.570
like, you almost didn't even hear it. Yeah. Until,

00:35:50.769 --> 00:35:54.550
but whatever the emotions, whatever the emotion

00:35:54.550 --> 00:35:57.670
was. He either picked up the tempo or the volume.

00:35:58.190 --> 00:36:01.570
And he would shift from major chords to minor

00:36:01.570 --> 00:36:03.710
chords. Yes, it was a score, basically. It was

00:36:03.710 --> 00:36:05.710
a score to the preaching. But he was responding.

00:36:06.599 --> 00:36:08.500
Yeah, well, he's heard all this before, so this

00:36:08.500 --> 00:36:10.320
is like an act, isn't it? Well, I guess it would

00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:11.699
be, yeah. You would, you'd have rehearsed this.

00:36:11.780 --> 00:36:14.500
But I've seen this done really well. T .G. Bishop,

00:36:14.820 --> 00:36:17.960
T .G. Jakes does this, and it's having these,

00:36:18.059 --> 00:36:22.079
and the instrument comes in when they know that

00:36:22.079 --> 00:36:25.539
he's about to make a point. Yeah. So that's good.

00:36:25.539 --> 00:36:27.599
I'm glad that grounded you and kept you stable.

00:36:28.039 --> 00:36:31.119
Well, again, I... Was Robin next to you? No,

00:36:31.139 --> 00:36:33.719
she wasn't feeling well. She's actually, she's

00:36:33.719 --> 00:36:37.719
going through some... She had some pre -cancer

00:36:37.719 --> 00:36:40.039
stuff on her face and we wanted to naturally

00:36:40.039 --> 00:36:44.239
remove it. So I've got her doing a lot of stuff

00:36:44.239 --> 00:36:48.679
with like I have her taking some supplements.

00:36:49.550 --> 00:36:52.449
uh that have what's called superoxide dismutase

00:36:52.449 --> 00:36:56.150
and um extracts from aloe vera yeah plus some

00:36:56.150 --> 00:36:59.150
topical things and it's actually a blading all

00:36:59.150 --> 00:37:01.510
of the damage is literally coming off oh that's

00:37:01.510 --> 00:37:03.809
but it's painful it feels like it burns yeah

00:37:03.809 --> 00:37:06.150
she'll have to keep mentally kind of yeah it's

00:37:06.150 --> 00:37:08.469
been a journey it'll be a test for her it'll

00:37:08.469 --> 00:37:10.170
be a good one ultimately though because you have

00:37:10.170 --> 00:37:11.869
to maintain strength well now she's got the baby

00:37:11.869 --> 00:37:13.550
skin coming out yeah and that's going to motivate

00:37:13.550 --> 00:37:15.530
today it's starting to flake off now she sees

00:37:15.530 --> 00:37:17.750
results so that's yeah but the past 10 days have

00:37:17.750 --> 00:37:22.309
been really a journey for her so anyway she did

00:37:22.309 --> 00:37:28.849
not go and I'm so glad she didn't because we

00:37:28.849 --> 00:37:31.050
had a similar experience we had a new friend

00:37:31.050 --> 00:37:34.059
that was And you're very well -mannered because

00:37:34.059 --> 00:37:36.820
you didn't get up and leave. I got to the point

00:37:36.820 --> 00:37:39.260
in life, if I'm in a situation I don't want to

00:37:39.260 --> 00:37:42.079
be in, I don't want to be disrespectful, and

00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:45.079
I will just quietly leave, not give anyone any

00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:47.980
explanation, and then not even explain afterwards.

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:50.300
If I need to apologise after, I'm sorry I had

00:37:50.300 --> 00:37:52.780
to slip out early. It was a beautiful ceremony.

00:37:53.179 --> 00:37:55.820
I would choose to do that now. That was very

00:37:55.820 --> 00:37:58.679
people -pleasing of you. Or honouring. I mean,

00:37:58.699 --> 00:38:02.340
you're honouring that. It wouldn't have been

00:38:02.340 --> 00:38:05.079
not honoring to leave, though. Well, and true.

00:38:05.320 --> 00:38:08.000
I actually thought I could leave right now and

00:38:08.000 --> 00:38:09.579
nobody would notice. If I'd have been with you,

00:38:09.659 --> 00:38:11.159
I'd have had us both out of there. And nobody

00:38:11.159 --> 00:38:13.579
would care. Yeah, exactly. But I thought to myself,

00:38:13.820 --> 00:38:17.019
what is my purpose for being there? And my purpose

00:38:17.019 --> 00:38:19.019
was not for me. It was to support that family.

00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:20.679
And you'd already done that, though, in the first

00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:22.360
two hours. Well, I agreed with them. Yeah. Well,

00:38:22.380 --> 00:38:25.199
they were in front. I was in back. So I was pretty

00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:29.079
much non sequitur. Okay. But I wanted to be there

00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:32.590
afterwards. To greet them on my way out. So you

00:38:32.590 --> 00:38:34.710
had to sit through this in order to be able to

00:38:34.710 --> 00:38:38.309
do your reception line. Because I thought, well,

00:38:38.329 --> 00:38:40.650
what's my purpose for being here? Yeah. And if

00:38:40.650 --> 00:38:43.190
it's to support them, then I need to see this.

00:38:43.289 --> 00:38:47.110
I have to see this through. Yeah. So you had

00:38:47.110 --> 00:38:49.050
to work out what your goal was and then accommodate

00:38:49.050 --> 00:38:52.199
that. So I had to reel myself in. And then in

00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:54.539
those situations, it's funny. It's not the worst

00:38:54.539 --> 00:38:56.219
thing that's ever happened to anyone, is it?

00:38:56.219 --> 00:38:58.019
So you've got to sit there for an hour. And I

00:38:58.019 --> 00:39:01.539
find myself sometimes you're bitching about a

00:39:01.539 --> 00:39:04.480
first world problem. Right. And that's how I

00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:07.599
get myself out of it. Comfortable chair. It's

00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:11.079
AC. You're not laying sod. You know, you haven't

00:39:11.079 --> 00:39:14.280
been up before. But I love the fact that you

00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:17.019
go into gratitude because you could easily let

00:39:17.019 --> 00:39:19.179
your vibration dip and you could start bitching

00:39:19.179 --> 00:39:20.699
about it. You could say, I don't want to be here.

00:39:20.940 --> 00:39:22.380
don't want to listen to this preaching this is

00:39:22.380 --> 00:39:24.860
not my worldview I don't believe in any of that

00:39:24.860 --> 00:39:27.320
I've been hijacked I'm forced to go through this

00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:29.880
switch and bait and all the rest of it your mind

00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:33.659
could do that or your mind chooses I'm going

00:39:33.659 --> 00:39:35.860
to see what's good because if you do that because

00:39:35.860 --> 00:39:38.559
if you go into the negative side of that you'll

00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:40.599
get a negative manifestation in the external

00:39:40.599 --> 00:39:43.139
if you can keep it that which is what you did

00:39:43.139 --> 00:39:45.820
you programmed your own mind basically keep it

00:39:45.820 --> 00:39:49.219
sweet keep it nice focus on the music then your

00:39:49.219 --> 00:39:54.380
external manifestation mirrors that so non -reaction

00:39:54.380 --> 00:39:59.159
is absolutely gold dust in terms of wanting to

00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:00.659
manifest something in your life that you know

00:40:00.659 --> 00:40:03.619
you can't keep fluctuating so you didn't fluctuate

00:40:03.619 --> 00:40:06.059
because you got it from the beginning you'd noticed

00:40:06.059 --> 00:40:08.480
right i've got to get control of myself well

00:40:08.480 --> 00:40:10.380
i noticed as soon as i walked in i'm like because

00:40:10.380 --> 00:40:13.619
i had that that intuition it's like i just stood

00:40:13.619 --> 00:40:17.940
in the back well dipped out for a ciggy oh my

00:40:17.940 --> 00:40:20.820
god No, good for you, though. You're a polite

00:40:20.820 --> 00:40:24.219
American. Oh, listen to you, Ben. You're the

00:40:24.219 --> 00:40:25.780
polite bread. I'm the scrappy American. I would

00:40:25.780 --> 00:40:30.019
have walked out, waited outside for them. Well,

00:40:30.099 --> 00:40:33.840
so the net result was I was actually glad I stayed

00:40:33.840 --> 00:40:38.079
because the widow literally came up to me afterwards

00:40:38.079 --> 00:40:41.320
and gave me a vice grip, like a clamp hug. Because

00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:44.179
even before he passed away, when he was ill,

00:40:44.340 --> 00:40:48.090
I was helping. They had these trailers full of

00:40:48.090 --> 00:40:50.510
hay for their animals because they have a little

00:40:50.510 --> 00:40:55.150
farm. And he couldn't haul the hay, like move

00:40:55.150 --> 00:40:57.570
these bales of hay, so I moved them for him and

00:40:57.570 --> 00:41:02.429
stuff. So it was a hug of appreciation. Because

00:41:02.429 --> 00:41:04.929
you don't realize, you know, it's times like

00:41:04.929 --> 00:41:08.230
that you realize who your friends are. Yeah,

00:41:08.230 --> 00:41:10.289
it's a shame. They're the people that, and she

00:41:10.289 --> 00:41:11.969
realized, she's like, oh man, Tia Tilly showed

00:41:11.969 --> 00:41:14.409
up for me. Every time I need her to be there,

00:41:14.489 --> 00:41:16.860
she's there. Yeah. And I wanted to really just

00:41:16.860 --> 00:41:20.719
let her know that nothing's changed. Nice. Nothing's

00:41:20.719 --> 00:41:22.400
changed. And I even told her, I said, if you

00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:25.039
need a change of scenery, like, because sometimes

00:41:25.039 --> 00:41:26.940
when you're going through those vicissitudes,

00:41:27.019 --> 00:41:30.119
these ups and downs in life that just kind of,

00:41:30.179 --> 00:41:33.239
ah, and you just need that change of scenery.

00:41:33.780 --> 00:41:36.079
I told her, I said, come out, hang out on my

00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:38.610
patio at Phillips Island. Listen to the birds.

00:41:38.710 --> 00:41:40.469
Yeah, listen to some music. Just chill out. Listen

00:41:40.469 --> 00:41:41.730
to the birds and chill out. And even though they

00:41:41.730 --> 00:41:43.789
have birds and music and stuff, just the changes.

00:41:43.889 --> 00:41:46.150
Yeah, exactly. It's just a different way. Yes,

00:41:46.170 --> 00:41:48.670
absolutely. It changes everything, that visual.

00:41:49.610 --> 00:41:51.630
It's always very calming energy in this place.

00:41:51.670 --> 00:41:53.510
It dovetails back to what we were talking about

00:41:53.510 --> 00:41:58.230
before. We get exposed to these experiences.

00:41:58.730 --> 00:42:01.250
My default position right now in life is that

00:42:01.250 --> 00:42:05.820
of gratitude. Yesterday I was moving. I got this

00:42:05.820 --> 00:42:08.440
log rolled into my leg yesterday. Oh, I dropped

00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:10.800
a stone on my toe. I can outdo that. It's at

00:42:10.800 --> 00:42:13.000
a three inch scrape on my leg. Yeah, but it didn't

00:42:13.000 --> 00:42:15.159
pierce the skin though. Yeah. Oh, it did. Oh,

00:42:15.219 --> 00:42:17.599
did it? That's deep. Is it? Well, it's healing

00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:19.699
nicely. I know. I heal quickly. Wow. But it was

00:42:19.699 --> 00:42:21.760
actually scraped right along my shin bone on

00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:24.059
the inside. Did it hurt? I always ask that. I

00:42:24.059 --> 00:42:26.000
almost said that F word that you always say.

00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:31.219
Oh, fart. Fart. Fart this. I almost said that

00:42:31.219 --> 00:42:34.900
word, but. So how did you get out of dipping

00:42:34.900 --> 00:42:37.860
your vibe on that then? It was really hard, but

00:42:37.860 --> 00:42:41.980
I was grateful. That sounds crazy. No, it's not.

00:42:42.019 --> 00:42:45.019
It's absolute perfection. I clocked. It was so

00:42:45.019 --> 00:42:49.380
painful. With what? Well, we have four bags out

00:42:49.380 --> 00:42:51.079
there that are chips because we're still cleaning

00:42:51.079 --> 00:42:54.539
up from last year's hurricane. So I've got this

00:42:54.539 --> 00:42:57.760
on the back of the tractor. I got 57 horsepower

00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:03.730
off the PTO, which is the power transfer. And

00:43:03.730 --> 00:43:06.389
I've got this chipper. It's like a wood chipper.

00:43:06.489 --> 00:43:09.789
And it can chip like seven inch diameter. So

00:43:09.789 --> 00:43:11.969
we just throw all these scraps in there. We literally

00:43:11.969 --> 00:43:14.869
have, we had enough scraps to fill this studio

00:43:14.869 --> 00:43:17.909
here. There's tons of scraps. But when you chip

00:43:17.909 --> 00:43:22.010
them down, they fill like four by four foot cubes.

00:43:23.269 --> 00:43:27.710
So we have, we filled four, four by four cubes

00:43:27.710 --> 00:43:32.559
yesterday of chips. And during the process, You

00:43:32.559 --> 00:43:35.460
know, I was dragging the logs close to my farmhand

00:43:35.460 --> 00:43:37.539
because he was feeding the shredder, and I'd

00:43:37.539 --> 00:43:40.340
go grab some more logs, and I was just feeding

00:43:40.340 --> 00:43:44.719
him, and he was feeding the shredder. I was carrying

00:43:44.719 --> 00:43:51.440
a log, and it turns out my glove was full of

00:43:51.440 --> 00:43:54.920
fire ants. Oh! So my hand was getting bit by

00:43:54.920 --> 00:43:56.880
fire ants, so I threw the glove down, and in

00:43:56.880 --> 00:43:59.460
the process, I dropped the log, and it just clapped.

00:43:59.460 --> 00:44:01.699
Yeah, you see, if you'd have been focused properly,

00:44:01.940 --> 00:44:04.000
you would have thrown the log and then ripped

00:44:04.000 --> 00:44:06.679
that off. But you just went for ripping this

00:44:06.679 --> 00:44:08.960
off, and then you stuck it on your leg. Well,

00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:11.260
I dropped the log, and it rolled. I dropped the

00:44:11.260 --> 00:44:13.199
log straight down, but it rolled against me,

00:44:13.300 --> 00:44:15.659
and on the way down, it just scraped my shin

00:44:15.659 --> 00:44:18.340
like crazy. Well, it didn't scrape my shin. Actually,

00:44:18.460 --> 00:44:21.329
it was a bent log. And it went straight down,

00:44:21.429 --> 00:44:24.409
but because it was bent, it moved towards me.

00:44:24.969 --> 00:44:27.030
And when it rolled towards me, it hit my shin.

00:44:27.170 --> 00:44:30.070
So anyway, long and short of it, stuff like that

00:44:30.070 --> 00:44:31.730
happens. And I'm like, God, I'm glad I didn't

00:44:31.730 --> 00:44:34.630
break my foot. You know, it's just, I immediately

00:44:34.630 --> 00:44:38.210
go into this gratitude. damn fire ants yeah and

00:44:38.210 --> 00:44:40.690
i'm out here and this was just a one little log

00:44:40.690 --> 00:44:42.369
i've got rid of the fire ants i'm still alive

00:44:42.369 --> 00:44:44.429
and i'm just lucky that i've got all these you

00:44:44.429 --> 00:44:46.730
know big pile of what do you do with all this

00:44:46.730 --> 00:44:49.449
this chips then is it like mulch use it to put

00:44:49.449 --> 00:44:53.110
on yeah so sometimes it gets so hot in the well

00:44:53.110 --> 00:44:55.650
you know in florida which gets stupid hot out

00:44:55.650 --> 00:44:59.469
there and so what you want to do is we use uh

00:44:59.469 --> 00:45:02.510
we use it as a covering or a dressing for the

00:45:02.510 --> 00:45:05.650
beds yeah so we weed the beds And then we put

00:45:05.650 --> 00:45:08.230
a dressing on top so that there's something on

00:45:08.230 --> 00:45:12.030
top that will at least slow down the weeds. Then

00:45:12.030 --> 00:45:13.750
when I want to grow something, I make a hole.

00:45:14.110 --> 00:45:16.570
I put it in the hole and then I close it up.

00:45:16.650 --> 00:45:19.510
Yes. And depending on the plant, you don't want

00:45:19.510 --> 00:45:21.789
the wood chips touching the plant because it

00:45:21.789 --> 00:45:23.750
can introduce fungus and stuff. Oh, okay. So

00:45:23.750 --> 00:45:25.389
you leave a little hole and the plant grows up

00:45:25.389 --> 00:45:28.409
through it. But what it does is if it gets really

00:45:28.409 --> 00:45:32.269
hot outside, underneath the wood chip stays moist.

00:45:32.880 --> 00:45:35.699
And if it gets really, really wet, the wood chips

00:45:35.699 --> 00:45:38.920
absorb it like a sponge. So it kind of maintains

00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:42.119
temperature under the soil. And it maintains

00:45:42.119 --> 00:45:43.900
some humidity under the soil. So when you're

00:45:43.900 --> 00:45:46.800
nursing this wound... Oh, it's gone. It's gone.

00:45:46.880 --> 00:45:48.880
Yeah, it looks great. Just while we're sitting

00:45:48.880 --> 00:45:50.079
here. It doesn't even look like it's pierced

00:45:50.079 --> 00:45:53.280
the skin from here. But when you're thinking...

00:45:53.280 --> 00:45:56.059
So that's great that you've got this mechanism

00:45:56.059 --> 00:45:59.739
from keeping your ranch here all fertile and

00:45:59.739 --> 00:46:02.280
moist and cool. So you've got a minor injury.

00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:04.579
You dropped the ball on that because you lost

00:46:04.579 --> 00:46:07.099
focus. That could have... I mean, I hate to tell

00:46:07.099 --> 00:46:09.099
you where you went wrong. I feel so insufficient.

00:46:09.099 --> 00:46:11.139
But you could have just thrown... that and then

00:46:11.139 --> 00:46:15.340
ripped your glove off well well being a commando

00:46:15.340 --> 00:46:18.420
and all that well you know what this this is

00:46:18.420 --> 00:46:20.440
this was yesterday I have to just tell you about

00:46:20.440 --> 00:46:22.579
this real quick so Charlie my son who bought

00:46:22.579 --> 00:46:25.280
the stones over he bought one of his workers

00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:28.460
over with him and I was watching this and I like

00:46:28.460 --> 00:46:32.059
to think sometimes I see life from the perspective

00:46:32.059 --> 00:46:34.880
of what's the modern term an efficiency expert

00:46:35.920 --> 00:46:37.659
So the guy is picking up these stones. These

00:46:37.659 --> 00:46:39.719
stones are this big. I mean, I'm not joking,

00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:44.179
50, 70 pounds. And then his truck is 20 feet

00:46:44.179 --> 00:46:47.800
away and it's direct sunlight. And I look over

00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:50.539
and all he needs to do is reverse his truck to

00:46:50.539 --> 00:46:53.880
where this fire pit is being built. It's shady.

00:46:54.420 --> 00:46:57.300
It's shady. You can back right up to it. And

00:46:57.300 --> 00:47:00.380
he was also throwing stones where a stone was

00:47:00.380 --> 00:47:03.139
being dropped. And now he's not. Then he's got

00:47:03.139 --> 00:47:06.280
to walk and bend. Pick it up. Pick it up. So

00:47:06.280 --> 00:47:08.960
I say to him, I said, and I was, I said, listen,

00:47:09.019 --> 00:47:10.840
sweetheart. I said, why don't you bring your

00:47:10.840 --> 00:47:13.739
truck round? here back it up here back it right

00:47:13.739 --> 00:47:16.039
here and I directed him back and then he could

00:47:16.039 --> 00:47:18.440
get the stones out the truck and he could just

00:47:18.440 --> 00:47:20.579
put them on the wall and my son just started

00:47:20.579 --> 00:47:22.739
laughing and he said come with me and he have

00:47:22.739 --> 00:47:26.219
to walk away he said mum he said you're telling

00:47:26.219 --> 00:47:29.179
him what to do and I'm thinking well yeah I did

00:47:29.179 --> 00:47:31.539
tell him what to do because I could see that

00:47:31.539 --> 00:47:35.789
there's a way better way of doing this You're

00:47:35.789 --> 00:47:37.550
not going to be as hot. You're not going to have

00:47:37.550 --> 00:47:39.610
to bend down and pick them up. You're going to

00:47:39.610 --> 00:47:41.050
be in the shade and you're going to be right

00:47:41.050 --> 00:47:44.130
where the wall is that you're building. Why is

00:47:44.130 --> 00:47:47.949
your truck 20 feet away in this really hot strip

00:47:47.949 --> 00:47:50.869
of grass? So I got a ticking off from my son,

00:47:50.929 --> 00:47:55.269
but he was okay with it. Well, I grew up in a

00:47:55.269 --> 00:47:59.469
family where no matter what you did, it was either

00:47:59.469 --> 00:48:02.190
wrong or could have been done better. Are you

00:48:02.190 --> 00:48:07.250
okay with it could have been done better? I mean,

00:48:07.269 --> 00:48:10.269
I self -critique. I think as a result, myself

00:48:10.269 --> 00:48:14.530
and my siblings, we're our own worst critics

00:48:14.530 --> 00:48:18.110
because we adopted this idea that, well, we can

00:48:18.110 --> 00:48:21.369
obviously do things better. Everything can be

00:48:21.369 --> 00:48:23.429
done, whether it's us or someone else. Yeah,

00:48:23.449 --> 00:48:25.050
but what's the standard? I'm looking for his.

00:48:25.070 --> 00:48:27.449
Stop, stop. Yeah, go ahead. What's the standard?

00:48:28.139 --> 00:48:31.500
Comfort in this case. In this case, it was ease

00:48:31.500 --> 00:48:33.920
and comfort. This can be much easier and much

00:48:33.920 --> 00:48:36.480
more comfortable for you if you don't do it like

00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:38.739
that. I'm talking to all of the married couples,

00:48:38.900 --> 00:48:43.519
partners, roommates, everybody right now. What's

00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:47.539
the best way to load a dishwasher? Everybody's

00:48:47.539 --> 00:48:50.300
got their own way of doing it. They have a reason

00:48:50.300 --> 00:48:53.820
for doing it the way they do. And this is, we

00:48:53.820 --> 00:48:57.460
talk about this because my mom, she had... Her

00:48:57.460 --> 00:49:00.880
way of doing it, and it was, in my opinion, and

00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:03.599
pretty much everybody I knew, it was pretty messed

00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:08.340
up. It was arguably the worst possible system

00:49:08.340 --> 00:49:13.539
of getting the most dishes clean that you can

00:49:13.539 --> 00:49:16.469
imagine. In her world, it was perfect. Now, would

00:49:16.469 --> 00:49:19.889
she have been okay if you had said to her, Mom,

00:49:20.170 --> 00:49:22.250
let me show you. I've got a couple of, you know,

00:49:22.269 --> 00:49:24.690
hacks here. Would she have been okay? No, a tear

00:49:24.690 --> 00:49:26.849
jelly, that's lovely. That's really helped. Zero.

00:49:26.929 --> 00:49:30.030
No, I don't think so. So she herself didn't want

00:49:30.030 --> 00:49:32.530
any input. No, because my family is old school.

00:49:33.909 --> 00:49:35.929
Old school just means stubborn in that case.

00:49:36.150 --> 00:49:38.949
No, well, old school means the children don't

00:49:38.949 --> 00:49:40.670
correct the parents. The parents correct the

00:49:40.670 --> 00:49:42.869
children. Yeah. You're supposed to listen to

00:49:42.869 --> 00:49:46.329
me? You know, we said, do this, you do this.

00:49:46.469 --> 00:49:49.570
You don't question your parents. And I get that.

00:49:49.610 --> 00:49:51.929
I understand that. Yeah, I don't have that relationship

00:49:51.929 --> 00:49:54.030
with my kids. They can call me out if they need

00:49:54.030 --> 00:49:57.369
to. And I'll defend myself. I'll agree with them.

00:49:57.690 --> 00:50:00.469
I don't view my children as, quote, my children.

00:50:00.610 --> 00:50:02.929
They're just really close friends that I happen

00:50:02.929 --> 00:50:05.989
to bring into this world. I love them. But you

00:50:05.989 --> 00:50:07.389
know what? If they want to be part of my world,

00:50:07.409 --> 00:50:09.409
great. If they don't, great. I don't own them.

00:50:09.429 --> 00:50:11.599
They don't own me. I don't treat my children

00:50:11.599 --> 00:50:14.659
much different than anybody else. No. I don't

00:50:14.659 --> 00:50:16.900
treat my children any different than I treat

00:50:16.900 --> 00:50:19.139
you. I feel that. I'm kind of like that. We're

00:50:19.139 --> 00:50:21.940
friends. There's no authority. I'm not an authority

00:50:21.940 --> 00:50:24.360
figure in their life at all anymore. If you and

00:50:24.360 --> 00:50:27.139
I were complete strangers and you came up and

00:50:27.139 --> 00:50:30.840
said there's a better way to do something. 20

00:50:30.840 --> 00:50:33.619
years ago, I would have said F you. No, I wouldn't

00:50:33.619 --> 00:50:35.360
have because I don't do that. He was grateful.

00:50:35.800 --> 00:50:38.179
He looked at me and he smiled because he could

00:50:38.179 --> 00:50:42.619
see. Wow, I was 20 feet over there. He handled

00:50:42.619 --> 00:50:45.719
it really well. And I think that's why my son

00:50:45.719 --> 00:50:47.719
was able to laugh about it. Because it's like,

00:50:47.780 --> 00:50:50.579
holy shit, if I just look at this, I had this

00:50:50.579 --> 00:50:52.780
all wrong. I'm under a massive tree. I could

00:50:52.780 --> 00:50:55.960
back it up here. I was really far away. So it

00:50:55.960 --> 00:50:58.260
was very audacious of me to correct it. But I

00:50:58.260 --> 00:51:00.619
actually, I wasn't intending. to correcting i

00:51:00.619 --> 00:51:02.619
was actually this you've got a lot of stones

00:51:02.619 --> 00:51:05.780
to get off you are sweating so buckets this could

00:51:05.780 --> 00:51:08.659
be so much this boiled down to this boiled down

00:51:08.659 --> 00:51:12.300
to empathy if i was doing that i'd want to do

00:51:12.300 --> 00:51:14.380
it it's empathy yeah because you're looking at

00:51:14.380 --> 00:51:17.000
this saying this could be this poor fellow yeah

00:51:17.000 --> 00:51:19.679
because this oh he had his tongue hanging out

00:51:19.679 --> 00:51:23.320
and that's the thing even with my mom she was

00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:25.639
always always always correcting us no matter

00:51:25.639 --> 00:51:28.550
what There was always something better. She was

00:51:28.550 --> 00:51:31.010
always correcting us. Because she had this vision

00:51:31.010 --> 00:51:32.889
of perfection, vision of how the world should

00:51:32.889 --> 00:51:37.449
be. But it was from a position of love. Yeah.

00:51:37.650 --> 00:51:42.809
So she wasn't being a bitch. We all knew it's

00:51:42.809 --> 00:51:44.969
because we were loved. She was paying attention.

00:51:45.190 --> 00:51:49.429
She wanted us to be better and smarter. She wanted

00:51:49.429 --> 00:51:51.849
us to have a better life than she had. And that

00:51:51.849 --> 00:51:56.869
was the way that she was parented. Her standard,

00:51:57.070 --> 00:52:01.190
her mother's standard for her marriage to my

00:52:01.190 --> 00:52:07.690
dad was that my dad was a good man. Any man that

00:52:07.690 --> 00:52:11.250
doesn't beat his wife is a good husband. Okay,

00:52:11.389 --> 00:52:13.710
now that's a messed up standard. Really low bar,

00:52:13.829 --> 00:52:16.369
isn't it? Because my dad didn't beat my mom,

00:52:16.690 --> 00:52:20.750
that's a good standard. So my mom's world was

00:52:20.750 --> 00:52:23.809
like one of gratitude because she didn't get

00:52:23.809 --> 00:52:26.989
beaten by her husband. That's a pretty messed

00:52:26.989 --> 00:52:28.389
up paradigm. That's really nuts. But when you

00:52:28.389 --> 00:52:33.789
ask me the question about doing things better,

00:52:33.969 --> 00:52:37.730
what I've learned to do is ask questions and

00:52:37.730 --> 00:52:41.550
just say, and I usually use a sandwich approach.

00:52:42.210 --> 00:52:46.429
So if you were hauling the boulders, I would

00:52:46.429 --> 00:52:49.989
say, Sarah, you're doing such a good job hauling

00:52:49.989 --> 00:52:52.590
these boulders. That seems like a lot of work.

00:52:53.079 --> 00:52:55.719
I kind of did couch it a little bit like that.

00:52:55.760 --> 00:52:59.300
And I said, this looks really great. But what

00:52:59.300 --> 00:53:02.300
I hope I got over to him, because he does this

00:53:02.300 --> 00:53:05.159
work all the time, right? Does landscaping. Look

00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:08.059
at your environment. Look where you can work

00:53:08.059 --> 00:53:12.480
smarter, not harder. And you don't, and I'm just

00:53:12.480 --> 00:53:16.909
hoping, well, I... I was in the sun. I did not

00:53:16.909 --> 00:53:20.610
mean to be walking 20 feet holding a 50 -pound

00:53:20.610 --> 00:53:24.889
boulder. And I hope I had a really nice effect

00:53:24.889 --> 00:53:27.710
on him that in the future, ask questions about

00:53:27.710 --> 00:53:30.610
your own environment. If I unload the dishwasher,

00:53:30.750 --> 00:53:35.949
I know exactly what I'm going to have in relation

00:53:35.949 --> 00:53:38.210
to which part of the room I'm going in. There's

00:53:38.210 --> 00:53:40.909
a real method to this because I hate unloading

00:53:40.909 --> 00:53:43.349
the dishwasher. It's boring and I resent it.

00:53:43.340 --> 00:53:46.360
it so i'm gonna make sure that i get it fucking

00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:50.000
right so my way i could i could beat anyone to

00:53:50.000 --> 00:53:53.440
unload the dishwasher contest because i want

00:53:53.440 --> 00:53:57.500
to i want it to be easiest for me And for him,

00:53:57.539 --> 00:54:00.039
he, if he was making those mistakes about not

00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:01.780
looking at his environment, he's probably paid

00:54:01.780 --> 00:54:04.239
the price for that. Now he might go to a job

00:54:04.239 --> 00:54:06.440
and think, you know what, if I park here and

00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:09.099
I take that and I do that and that I could have

00:54:09.099 --> 00:54:12.519
really hope, hopefully I've improved his life.

00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:15.460
That's why this is my position is you're so thoughtful

00:54:15.460 --> 00:54:18.599
and kind that you recognize that this guy is

00:54:18.599 --> 00:54:23.329
sweating. It's hot. He's overworking. Your positioning

00:54:23.329 --> 00:54:25.389
on that's beautiful because you could say that

00:54:25.389 --> 00:54:27.449
it's not what you say, it's how you say it. Yeah.

00:54:27.590 --> 00:54:30.070
Because you're being kind, you're being helpful.

00:54:30.269 --> 00:54:34.909
And how can you get angry with you making his

00:54:34.909 --> 00:54:38.050
life easier? Yeah. That's so beautiful. If you

00:54:38.050 --> 00:54:40.349
were saying, you're such an idiot. Yo, you piece

00:54:40.349 --> 00:54:42.590
of shit, what are you doing? What are you doing?

00:54:42.670 --> 00:54:44.670
I know a few people that would approach it like

00:54:44.670 --> 00:54:46.309
that. But that's the thing. The way you approach

00:54:46.309 --> 00:54:49.110
it matters. I think most people wouldn't say

00:54:49.110 --> 00:54:51.760
anything. They would just let that ride. Okay,

00:54:51.980 --> 00:54:55.280
this is how he's choosing to do it. It depends

00:54:55.280 --> 00:54:57.539
whether you're being paid by the hour or it's

00:54:57.539 --> 00:54:59.219
just per job. There's that. I mean, there's other

00:54:59.219 --> 00:55:01.059
variations of how you'd have to look at that.

00:55:01.139 --> 00:55:04.920
I think most people just, that's not my, I'm

00:55:04.920 --> 00:55:06.260
not going to interfere with it. Well, I mean,

00:55:06.260 --> 00:55:08.239
but then there's also, I've seen this happen

00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:10.679
where it's like. Well, ma 'am, thank you so much.

00:55:10.739 --> 00:55:13.460
I'd love to back that up over there, but the

00:55:13.460 --> 00:55:15.480
problem is that's your septic field, and I really

00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:17.099
shouldn't be driving on your septic field. And

00:55:17.099 --> 00:55:18.519
I would have said I wouldn't have asked you to

00:55:18.519 --> 00:55:21.119
back it up over there had it been on my septic.

00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:24.099
But I'm saying that some people, you know where

00:55:24.099 --> 00:55:25.940
your septic field is. Some people don't even

00:55:25.940 --> 00:55:28.300
know, and they learn something because this old

00:55:28.300 --> 00:55:30.420
guy, this Holland Wilders. Oh, I see what you're

00:55:30.420 --> 00:55:32.539
saying, yeah. Like if you didn't know your septic

00:55:32.539 --> 00:55:34.099
tank. Oh, this was nowhere near my septic tank.

00:55:34.179 --> 00:55:36.039
But I see what you're saying. I'm just saying

00:55:36.039 --> 00:55:39.039
that he may have had a reason for parking 20

00:55:39.039 --> 00:55:43.659
feet away that you didn't know about. Could have

00:55:43.659 --> 00:55:46.780
been. No, the odds are probably not. Yeah. But

00:55:46.780 --> 00:55:48.539
I always hold that space. Well, for me, my septic

00:55:48.539 --> 00:55:51.119
tank, I'm on like a big five acre field. It's

00:55:51.119 --> 00:55:54.019
obvious for him. Yeah, but I'm not talking about

00:55:54.019 --> 00:55:57.099
you. I know you're not. But for him, but I can

00:55:57.099 --> 00:55:59.940
see what you're saying. If I parked over here

00:55:59.940 --> 00:56:02.420
because I didn't want to. park on your sprinkler

00:56:02.420 --> 00:56:04.320
system i didn't want to park near your septic

00:56:04.320 --> 00:56:06.559
tank so there was a reason he would have then

00:56:06.559 --> 00:56:09.139
said to me oh the reason i didn't back around

00:56:09.139 --> 00:56:10.960
there because i didn't want to get near your

00:56:10.960 --> 00:56:13.579
septic tank right so i think the way i again

00:56:13.579 --> 00:56:16.139
the way i probably you and i are similar in the

00:56:16.139 --> 00:56:17.840
approach i probably would have done it similar

00:56:17.840 --> 00:56:20.760
to you i would have but i ask questions i just

00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:23.639
say hey just so you know you're welcome to drive

00:56:23.639 --> 00:56:25.340
over here and back up there if it's easier for

00:56:25.340 --> 00:56:28.079
you you know if you want to do that you're welcome

00:56:28.079 --> 00:56:30.050
to do that Just make that offer and leave it

00:56:30.050 --> 00:56:32.730
alone. And then if he said no, just that's it.

00:56:32.809 --> 00:56:37.070
See my life right now is because everybody I

00:56:37.070 --> 00:56:39.230
meet, my goal is to help them through the next

00:56:39.230 --> 00:56:42.130
level. Like it's either you're going to be a

00:56:42.130 --> 00:56:45.849
world -class athlete or a mega millionaire. Those

00:56:45.849 --> 00:56:49.139
are the, that's what everybody I meet. It's up

00:56:49.139 --> 00:56:51.480
to you to stop me. So you wouldn't have said

00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:54.559
to this guy, back around here, because you won't

00:56:54.559 --> 00:56:56.840
have to walk so far and you're in the shade.

00:56:56.860 --> 00:56:58.519
I wouldn't have told him. You wouldn't have told

00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:00.679
him what the issue was. I wouldn't have told

00:57:00.679 --> 00:57:02.360
him anything. But then why would he have even

00:57:02.360 --> 00:57:04.539
thought about backing up if he doesn't know what's

00:57:04.539 --> 00:57:06.480
going to change? You can embed it in the question.

00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:10.000
You say, gosh, you're doing so much work in the

00:57:10.000 --> 00:57:12.400
direct heat here. That's what I did do. Yeah,

00:57:12.420 --> 00:57:13.920
you're doing so much work in the direct heat.

00:57:14.000 --> 00:57:15.420
It's nice and shady here. If you want to pull

00:57:15.420 --> 00:57:17.170
over there, you're welcome to do that. And you're

00:57:17.170 --> 00:57:18.710
not going to have to walk so far because you'll

00:57:18.710 --> 00:57:19.969
be right there. That way it's just an offer.

00:57:20.050 --> 00:57:26.630
I look at life right now like I have table service

00:57:26.630 --> 00:57:29.929
and I'm going up to Sarah Terry's table and I'm

00:57:29.929 --> 00:57:33.429
offering you an appetizer or a drink. And if

00:57:33.429 --> 00:57:35.789
you take the drink or appetizer or you don't,

00:57:35.789 --> 00:57:40.469
I don't care. My job is to offer you the appetizer.

00:57:41.530 --> 00:57:44.170
Would you like? Yes. That's all I'm doing. Yes.

00:57:44.170 --> 00:57:46.150
And that's what I did. I offered him advice,

00:57:46.309 --> 00:57:49.530
but I needed to know why this wasn't working

00:57:49.530 --> 00:57:52.590
because he couldn't have been seeing what I was

00:57:52.590 --> 00:57:54.550
seeing. Because if he was seeing what I was seeing,

00:57:54.610 --> 00:57:57.190
he would have already done this. He was not aware

00:57:57.190 --> 00:58:00.309
that there was even a tree that had shade and

00:58:00.309 --> 00:58:02.670
he parked too far away because that's where he

00:58:02.670 --> 00:58:04.650
was because he was taking down something else

00:58:04.650 --> 00:58:08.690
and he didn't reverse. So I felt that to me it

00:58:08.690 --> 00:58:11.090
was offering him an appetizer, offering him a

00:58:11.090 --> 00:58:14.780
drink, but explaining why. that is useful. And

00:58:14.780 --> 00:58:17.500
he got it. And we connected. He's like, okay.

00:58:17.639 --> 00:58:19.739
I mean, it was, it was significantly cooler.

00:58:19.920 --> 00:58:22.679
This was a massive Drake on this tree. It was

00:58:22.679 --> 00:58:27.039
a canopy of shade. So yes. It's like you're an

00:58:27.039 --> 00:58:30.039
author or something. Anyway, darling, I'm not

00:58:30.039 --> 00:58:32.139
sure how we got onto that, but it's been lovely.

00:58:32.420 --> 00:58:34.480
But I think these are important things because

00:58:34.480 --> 00:58:37.659
how we address each other and giving each other

00:58:37.659 --> 00:58:40.260
the benefit of the doubt is good. Yeah. And letting

00:58:40.260 --> 00:58:43.820
people know why your observation exists. It's

00:58:43.820 --> 00:58:47.619
not a critique. It could be easier. And Jordan

00:58:47.619 --> 00:58:51.719
Peterson always says, assume someone knows something

00:58:51.719 --> 00:58:53.679
that you don't. And I would say that's really,

00:58:53.780 --> 00:58:55.880
really good. Because he wouldn't have done what

00:58:55.880 --> 00:58:59.659
he had done if he had realised what the benefit

00:58:59.659 --> 00:59:02.639
of being nearer was in terms of his back and

00:59:02.639 --> 00:59:05.000
what the benefit of the shade was. Because he

00:59:05.000 --> 00:59:07.019
just wouldn't have done that. You would have

00:59:07.019 --> 00:59:10.599
actually surveyed your atmosphere and your environment.

00:59:11.389 --> 00:59:13.550
And, but then I'm just a person that I like things

00:59:13.550 --> 00:59:16.070
to be as easy as they possibly can be. Yeah.

00:59:16.070 --> 00:59:20.110
I call myself, I call myself ambitiously lazy.

00:59:20.170 --> 00:59:23.289
Yeah. I like it. Cause I'm, I'm very, I like

00:59:23.289 --> 00:59:25.730
to pre -think things so that I can take this,

00:59:25.769 --> 00:59:28.510
the smallest number of steps. Talking about pre

00:59:28.510 --> 00:59:30.170
-thinking, we're not going to have time for this

00:59:30.170 --> 00:59:32.389
episode, but this, should we introduce the next

00:59:32.389 --> 00:59:35.349
episode here or just leave it? Well, let's leave,

00:59:35.449 --> 00:59:37.429
let's open that up as a teaser, but let's not

00:59:37.429 --> 00:59:40.010
good. Let's not deep dive on it. Just create

00:59:40.010 --> 00:59:43.559
the. teaser go ahead okay so the next um podcast

00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:46.579
we're doing tia jolie has an assistant she's

00:59:46.579 --> 00:59:50.219
an ai robot and what was it you asked her what

00:59:50.219 --> 00:59:52.019
was your what were your directions what i did

00:59:52.019 --> 00:59:54.440
was i her name's rosie she's listened to all

00:59:54.440 --> 00:59:57.619
the podcasts i said okay rosie go back and look

00:59:57.619 --> 01:00:00.000
at all the transcripts you have them all yeah

01:00:00.000 --> 01:00:03.139
look at the transcripts get a feel for what sarah

01:00:03.139 --> 01:00:06.139
and i cover what we're about and give give me

01:00:06.139 --> 01:00:09.780
i forget was it 10 or 12 yeah there's a lot 10

01:00:09.780 --> 01:00:15.500
or 12 novel concepts or topics about which we

01:00:15.500 --> 01:00:19.780
should talk. Yeah. And then she printed them

01:00:19.780 --> 01:00:21.619
out. She gave me a bunch of stuff. I didn't even

01:00:21.619 --> 01:00:24.199
look at them. So let me give you the first one

01:00:24.199 --> 01:00:27.059
out. The first one, and this is actually so funny.

01:00:27.159 --> 01:00:30.559
The first one, Rosie said, why your soul might

01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:34.840
be bored. So our next episode, that's the one

01:00:34.840 --> 01:00:38.480
we have to tackle first. Okay. All right. It's

01:00:38.480 --> 01:00:40.920
funny because Robin asked, she says, so what

01:00:40.920 --> 01:00:43.119
are you and Sarah going to talk about? She says,

01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:46.860
did you give Sarah that list from Rosie? And

01:00:46.860 --> 01:00:49.579
I said, yeah. She said, did you look at the list?

01:00:49.679 --> 01:00:52.480
And I said, no. She's like, well, you didn't

01:00:52.480 --> 01:00:54.260
even look at it? I'm like, no, I don't want to

01:00:54.260 --> 01:00:57.260
know. No, I don't. Yeah, go in. I want you to,

01:00:57.280 --> 01:00:59.559
like, we can do one topic and then you can say,

01:00:59.639 --> 01:01:02.179
okay, Tinsley, pick a number between two and

01:01:02.179 --> 01:01:05.219
ten. Yeah. I'll say seven. Okay, we'll do that.

01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:09.159
We'll do seven. We'll do all 12. Is there 10

01:01:09.159 --> 01:01:11.000
or 12? I don't even know. I don't know. I didn't

01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:12.820
want to look that closely. I didn't even look

01:01:12.820 --> 01:01:14.260
at the list. But I just noticed the first one.

01:01:14.300 --> 01:01:16.639
And I think people suffer from this. Why your

01:01:16.639 --> 01:01:19.820
soul might be bored. So the next episode, ladies

01:01:19.820 --> 01:01:21.480
and gentlemen, boys and girls, is going to be

01:01:21.480 --> 01:01:24.460
about boredom. Okay. So let's wrap up with one

01:01:24.460 --> 01:01:26.380
thing. For those of you listening for the first

01:01:26.380 --> 01:01:29.440
time, please go to souldecodes .com. Drop a comment.

01:01:29.539 --> 01:01:35.099
Share this. If you found any benefit. Just share

01:01:35.099 --> 01:01:36.739
it with somebody. That would be great. I should

01:01:36.739 --> 01:01:41.099
tell you that over the past 30 days, we had 108

01:01:41.099 --> 01:01:47.280
% increase in listenership. Oh, good. 108 % increase

01:01:47.280 --> 01:01:49.699
over the last period. Nice. So that's pretty

01:01:49.699 --> 01:01:51.380
cool. Good. And that's because our beautiful

01:01:51.380 --> 01:01:53.659
listeners share, I think. I'm not doing anything

01:01:53.659 --> 01:01:58.119
different. Although I did just purchase an SEO,

01:01:58.420 --> 01:02:01.599
a search engine optimization system. Not just

01:02:01.599 --> 01:02:04.699
for this website, but for all 20 of mine. So

01:02:04.699 --> 01:02:07.300
we should get more and more notoriety out there

01:02:07.300 --> 01:02:13.539
as things get more relevant. Notoriety. But for

01:02:13.539 --> 01:02:15.400
those who don't know about Sarah, the author,

01:02:15.539 --> 01:02:18.099
what's the... I know I have a bookstore at soldecodes

01:02:18.099 --> 01:02:20.320
.com. Yes. The bookstore shows you stuff. So

01:02:20.320 --> 01:02:23.760
you can go onto Amazon. And the book that I would

01:02:23.760 --> 01:02:28.000
encourage everyone to buy, it's only 8 ,000 words.

01:02:28.059 --> 01:02:30.059
It's literally going to take you 40 minutes to

01:02:30.059 --> 01:02:33.380
read from cover to cover. And it's my theory

01:02:33.380 --> 01:02:36.820
distilled into 8 ,000 words of the simulation

01:02:36.820 --> 01:02:41.780
reality that we live in. And it was a very good

01:02:41.780 --> 01:02:44.699
use of language because he's a very, very complicated

01:02:44.699 --> 01:02:47.929
topic. And I was able to explain it and it might

01:02:47.929 --> 01:02:51.329
really be helpful. It'll only be helpful to you

01:02:51.329 --> 01:02:54.389
if you take full responsibility of how much power

01:02:54.389 --> 01:02:59.900
your mind. And you take full responsibility for

01:02:59.900 --> 01:03:02.980
your creations. But it's a way to create a better

01:03:02.980 --> 01:03:05.679
reality. I lay out the blueprint for that. I

01:03:05.679 --> 01:03:07.780
also have written a novel, The Star Side Prophecy.

01:03:07.800 --> 01:03:09.119
Before you go there, what's the name of that

01:03:09.119 --> 01:03:11.159
book? The Mirror World. The Mirror World. It's

01:03:11.159 --> 01:03:12.920
a journal as well. I encourage you to write your

01:03:12.920 --> 01:03:15.320
thoughts. The Star Side Prophecy is a novel.

01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:19.480
This stars me. And it starts out on star side,

01:03:19.559 --> 01:03:21.980
which is a fictitious heaven. And I question

01:03:21.980 --> 01:03:25.980
God. And I'm pretty fucking rude about it. the

01:03:25.980 --> 01:03:28.139
best god could do is a polemic and i break down

01:03:28.139 --> 01:03:30.260
um the tenets of christianity and understand

01:03:30.260 --> 01:03:34.039
why it is not cool to believe that god is separate

01:03:34.039 --> 01:03:36.420
and that's what then i've got other stuff but

01:03:36.420 --> 01:03:38.260
that'll do it for now and i've read all of them

01:03:38.260 --> 01:03:40.900
and i i admire you for what you're doing so anyway

01:03:40.900 --> 01:03:42.639
thank you all for listening we're excited to

01:03:42.639 --> 01:03:48.000
get into these ai generated topics So I'm excited.

01:03:48.840 --> 01:03:51.059
I'm going to put some thought to it this week.

01:03:51.059 --> 01:03:52.519
Well, I'm just going to leave these here. I'm

01:03:52.519 --> 01:03:54.000
not going to look at them. So we'll just go in

01:03:54.000 --> 01:03:55.760
cold next week. I won't even touch it. Won't

01:03:55.760 --> 01:03:57.260
even touch it. Let's leave it here. I'll know

01:03:57.260 --> 01:03:59.380
if you have. I'm going to put it under here.

01:03:59.420 --> 01:04:01.159
I'll know if anyone looks because I know exactly

01:04:01.159 --> 01:04:02.179
how this works. No, I'm not going to move it.

01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:03.860
I know. I know you are. So you know what I'll

01:04:03.860 --> 01:04:06.199
do next week is on the air, I'm going to say...

01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:09.159
No, I'm going to tell Rosie. I'm going to say...

01:04:10.349 --> 01:04:13.090
Pick a number randomly between two and whatever

01:04:13.090 --> 01:04:14.730
number's on there. Okay, like a lottery. Like

01:04:14.730 --> 01:04:18.769
a tarot card. Let Rosie tell us what number we're

01:04:18.769 --> 01:04:20.789
going to do. All right, good. Let's do it. That's

01:04:20.789 --> 01:04:22.670
