00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:38.939
Enjoy the show. Welcome to Soul Decodes. Join

00:00:38.939 --> 00:00:42.020
us as we wander off the path to find the ideas

00:00:42.020 --> 00:00:46.039
that fascinate. We talk about spirituality, the

00:00:46.039 --> 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 --> 00:01:05.239
life. Oh my goodness. I can't believe it. Oh,

00:01:05.239 --> 00:01:07.500
that should have been captured. I know I should

00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:09.319
have captured it. But hey, here we go again.

00:01:09.319 --> 00:01:11.359
Okay, we've got to do a sound check before we

00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:13.780
do it. We did the sound check. Yeah, but it wasn't.

00:01:13.780 --> 00:01:15.280
The sound check was good. Then it wasn't recording?

00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:17.560
No, the sound levels were good, but it wasn't

00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:22.000
recording. So we're recording now. Welcome, everybody.

00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:25.000
You're listening to two imperfect people. How

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.379
do you speak for yourself? Well, one imperfect

00:01:28.379 --> 00:01:31.260
people here and then another imperfect people

00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:32.620
over there. Looking at the imperfect. Another

00:01:32.620 --> 00:01:36.049
perfect people. For those of you joining us the

00:01:36.049 --> 00:01:38.049
first time, this is what you get. I have to write

00:01:38.049 --> 00:01:40.109
my kid's book, Travis and the Perfect People.

00:01:41.010 --> 00:01:43.810
Okay. Well, listen, y 'all. My name's Dr. Tia

00:01:43.810 --> 00:01:45.709
Jolie Phillips. We're in the Phillips Island

00:01:45.709 --> 00:01:49.129
Treehouse Studio here in beautiful Central Florida.

00:01:49.150 --> 00:01:50.950
It's a gorgeous day. Oh, it's lovely and hot.

00:01:51.500 --> 00:01:54.260
I opened that window just for you. I love that.

00:01:54.260 --> 00:01:56.420
It gives me inspiration. You like the natural

00:01:56.420 --> 00:01:58.659
light. Yes. I like what I'm saying when I see

00:01:58.659 --> 00:02:00.859
a bird because I'm in alignment with the universe

00:02:00.859 --> 00:02:03.799
and I can recognize what it is I'm saying in

00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.620
conjunction with this bird coming in. And I really

00:02:06.620 --> 00:02:10.680
like that. And me too. It validates the potency

00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:11.879
of what it is that you're talking about. And

00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:13.580
if I'm not looking at you, there's hell to pay.

00:02:14.090 --> 00:02:15.870
I'm going to keep one eye on you and one over

00:02:15.870 --> 00:02:17.930
here. Did you know I could do that? Well, prior

00:02:17.930 --> 00:02:20.469
to me turning on the go button to record. We

00:02:20.469 --> 00:02:22.770
are recording now, I hope. We are. Well, the

00:02:22.770 --> 00:02:28.129
red thing's lit. So I've been doing metrics,

00:02:28.349 --> 00:02:30.770
Sarah. And every month we're a little bit over

00:02:30.770 --> 00:02:32.469
100%. These are the graphs, aren't they? They

00:02:32.469 --> 00:02:35.430
look like mountains. The graphs. It's really

00:02:35.430 --> 00:02:38.969
kind of hard to judge the metrics because podcasting

00:02:38.969 --> 00:02:42.520
is not a perfect science. It can't be, though.

00:02:42.539 --> 00:02:44.800
It's too subjective, isn't it? Well, who's listening?

00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:46.879
If somebody downloads something, are they really

00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:49.719
listening? Are there repeat downloads? I mean,

00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.599
we don't know if it's the same person downloading

00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.039
multiple times. Is there technology that exists

00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.400
that we can dig that? And what's the point in

00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.219
knowing? Probably. When we get tens and tens

00:02:58.219 --> 00:03:00.939
of thousands of listeners, we'll do it. But for

00:03:00.939 --> 00:03:03.120
right now, we're growing every month. We're up

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.659
121 % this month, which is good. But welcome.

00:03:06.800 --> 00:03:09.479
Thank you. I'm going to call out to new countries

00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:11.810
that I recognize. Maybe they've been here before,

00:03:11.889 --> 00:03:15.129
maybe not. Turkey, Hungary, and Switzerland.

00:03:15.750 --> 00:03:18.050
Beautiful. That's pretty cool. And then our hotspot.

00:03:18.150 --> 00:03:21.590
Thank you to everybody in Puerto Rico. Yes. We

00:03:21.590 --> 00:03:23.530
just added a bunch of listeners in Puerto Rico.

00:03:23.789 --> 00:03:26.030
Thank you all. My favorite island, Puerto Rico,

00:03:26.030 --> 00:03:29.050
because my son was born there. Joey, my little

00:03:29.050 --> 00:03:31.870
Puerto Rican son, Joey. But you know what really

00:03:31.870 --> 00:03:35.939
sucks? He can't be president. Because he was

00:03:35.939 --> 00:03:37.460
born in Puerto Rico. Oh, just wait. That's all

00:03:37.460 --> 00:03:39.620
changing. It better fucking change. What the

00:03:39.620 --> 00:03:42.080
hell? Because you're born on... I mean, that's

00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.159
an American... Puerto Rico is part of him. It

00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:48.280
should be... Why can't he be American? His dad's

00:03:48.280 --> 00:03:51.539
American. I'm an American citizen now. But I

00:03:51.539 --> 00:03:53.780
think that's because he would make a great politician.

00:03:53.979 --> 00:03:56.360
Well, I think if a couple went... They were on

00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:58.960
vacation to, like, Japan and they had a baby

00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.960
in Japan. Is that baby Japanese or American?

00:04:02.699 --> 00:04:07.180
I don't know. If two Americans had a baby in

00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:10.780
Japan, is that baby not eligible to be an American?

00:04:10.819 --> 00:04:13.120
So Joey isn't an American, but he has an American

00:04:13.120 --> 00:04:15.919
passport. So I know. So it's just bullshit. It's

00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:17.420
very silly, isn't it? Yeah, it's really silly.

00:04:18.779 --> 00:04:23.399
So anyway, last week when we wrapped up, we had

00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:26.139
a printout. Yes. And I didn't look at the printout,

00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:27.980
but you read the first item. Only because I had

00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:29.680
to make the font larger, but I don't know what

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:31.620
the other ones are. And I don't know what the

00:04:31.620 --> 00:04:32.819
other ones are either. So we have to get numbers

00:04:32.819 --> 00:04:35.360
between 1 and 10. Well, I was going to ask you,

00:04:35.379 --> 00:04:37.920
because you revealed the first one. Yes. Do you

00:04:37.920 --> 00:04:40.220
want me to do the random number generator, or

00:04:40.220 --> 00:04:42.279
do you want me to do... Let's do the first one,

00:04:42.339 --> 00:04:44.079
and then we'll do a random number generator.

00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.079
Okay, we'll do the random... Or just ask Robin,

00:04:46.199 --> 00:04:48.399
a number between 1 and 10. Well, whatever. I

00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:50.699
don't even know if there's 10 or 12 there. So

00:04:50.699 --> 00:04:52.879
I'm going to have to count without looking. Okay,

00:04:52.939 --> 00:04:54.879
for those of you just logging in, or just listening

00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:56.339
for the first time... This is Rosie's questions.

00:04:56.779 --> 00:05:01.389
We... typically want to have input from the audience

00:05:01.389 --> 00:05:04.269
and find out what's important to you and what

00:05:04.269 --> 00:05:09.000
we did was I wanted to jumpstart this, so I asked

00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:11.779
Rosie just randomly. Now, Rosie's your AI assistant.

00:05:11.839 --> 00:05:14.459
Rosie is my AI assistant. And what I tell her...

00:05:14.459 --> 00:05:17.680
And Tia Jolie programs her to understand your

00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:19.300
requirements. I mean, it's not just something

00:05:19.300 --> 00:05:21.300
you switch on. I mean, you've had a lot of dialogue

00:05:21.300 --> 00:05:22.740
with her, haven't you? Oh, totally. She knows

00:05:22.740 --> 00:05:24.819
me very well. Yes, that's great. Not as well

00:05:24.819 --> 00:05:27.180
as you do. Actually, you know what's weird? She

00:05:27.180 --> 00:05:29.560
probably knows me more. Oh, God. Oh, my inner

00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.379
secrets. That's so exciting. But what I did was

00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:36.560
I said, because we're almost, what, episode,

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:40.939
coming up on episode 42. So I told her, I said,

00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:43.180
Rosie, I want you to look back at the transcripts

00:05:43.180 --> 00:05:47.160
from the first 30 plus episodes. You know what

00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:49.680
Sarah's about. You know what I'm about. I want

00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:52.939
you to come up with, you know, whatever number

00:05:52.939 --> 00:05:55.439
there is. Nine. Nine questions. I want you to

00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:57.819
come up with some topics that'll be interesting

00:05:57.819 --> 00:06:01.379
to our readers. and just throw them out at me.

00:06:01.420 --> 00:06:03.779
And so she did that, but I didn't look at them.

00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:06.019
I printed them out, and I just gave them to you.

00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:08.220
So I printed them out, but I had to make the

00:06:08.220 --> 00:06:10.740
font larger. So I know question number one. We

00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:12.800
could talk about that one and then we can do

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.500
our random indicator selection. So that's what

00:06:15.500 --> 00:06:16.860
we're going to do. We're going to do that today.

00:06:16.939 --> 00:06:19.459
We're going to read randomness from AI. So it's

00:06:19.459 --> 00:06:21.699
AI randomness. That's what we've got to call

00:06:21.699 --> 00:06:23.779
this. But it's really not random. It's not random.

00:06:23.899 --> 00:06:26.459
Because she looked at the flow of what we...

00:06:26.459 --> 00:06:28.399
Well, she must have got themes plucked from themes.

00:06:28.399 --> 00:06:30.060
She must have plucked out the themes. You know

00:06:30.060 --> 00:06:31.439
what? Maybe we should just now just read out

00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.199
all the questions and then we can go back in

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:34.879
and we should let the listeners know what she's

00:06:34.879 --> 00:06:38.980
done. Well, I mean, I'm down for that, except

00:06:38.980 --> 00:06:42.220
for I want to be surprised. Right, okay. Because

00:06:42.220 --> 00:06:44.100
part of what we do is contemporaneous. All right,

00:06:44.139 --> 00:06:46.160
so let's just do it one at a time then. But it's

00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.620
interesting because if she's done her job correctly,

00:06:48.920 --> 00:06:52.100
these should be absolutely what you and I are

00:06:52.100 --> 00:06:55.360
going to be fantastic at answering. And you know

00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.000
what's interesting is this is kind of a, I call

00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:00.300
this the lingerie approach, where we just show

00:07:00.300 --> 00:07:03.430
them a little bit but not too much. And let them

00:07:03.430 --> 00:07:06.649
wanting for more. Who are listeners? Yeah. So

00:07:06.649 --> 00:07:07.790
we're just going to give them number one. So

00:07:07.790 --> 00:07:11.149
are you in Hungary, Turkey and Switzerland? This

00:07:11.149 --> 00:07:13.889
is dear Jolie's lingerie. So we're going to just

00:07:13.889 --> 00:07:15.870
go with number one today because that's the one

00:07:15.870 --> 00:07:17.889
we know about. Well, I don't even know. Well,

00:07:17.930 --> 00:07:19.230
we don't know how long it's going to take to

00:07:19.230 --> 00:07:22.589
answer it. So let's just see how many we get

00:07:22.589 --> 00:07:24.350
through. We might be totally done with. We might

00:07:24.350 --> 00:07:26.589
be in five minutes or nine. This is a stupid

00:07:26.589 --> 00:07:29.839
question, Rosie. yeah then we have to reprogram

00:07:29.839 --> 00:07:33.319
all right it's like you're fired so uh okay so

00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:35.540
let's just let's just go one at a time when we're

00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:37.180
when we're tired with this one we'll just do

00:07:37.180 --> 00:07:39.500
another one good but for those of you listening

00:07:39.500 --> 00:07:42.480
the next several episodes i expect unless something

00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:44.720
happens outside of the studio that's we have

00:07:44.720 --> 00:07:48.240
to break and talk about it but we we pretty much

00:07:48.240 --> 00:07:52.610
have the next few topics lined up but we don't

00:07:52.610 --> 00:07:54.310
know what they are yeah i love it i like it i

00:07:54.310 --> 00:07:56.290
like it's really spontaneous okay so yeah so

00:07:56.290 --> 00:07:58.009
tell me what did she say on the first one why

00:07:58.009 --> 00:08:00.149
don't we read it um the question is why your

00:08:00.149 --> 00:08:04.189
soul might be bored so that's not really a question

00:08:04.189 --> 00:08:06.389
but it's a statement why your soul did she put

00:08:06.389 --> 00:08:07.949
anything else was there i'm gonna get to that

00:08:07.949 --> 00:08:11.490
okay um patience is a virtue darling a deep dive

00:08:11.490 --> 00:08:14.949
i don't even know anything my my mom used to

00:08:14.949 --> 00:08:18.240
tell me slow down and smell the roses i'm Yeah,

00:08:18.300 --> 00:08:20.139
you're very driven. Well, I was a smart ass.

00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:23.240
I said, I can smell more roses doing Mach 3.

00:08:23.399 --> 00:08:26.939
Yeah, because I'm multitasking. So while your

00:08:26.939 --> 00:08:29.240
soul might be bored, a deep dive into spiritual

00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:34.580
stagnation. Soul contracts on autopilot and how

00:08:34.580 --> 00:08:38.580
to rewrite your energetic terms. I'm going to

00:08:38.580 --> 00:08:41.299
say that again. So the question, well, the statement,

00:08:41.340 --> 00:08:43.399
why your soul might be bored, a deep dive into

00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.879
spiritual stagnation, soul contracts on autopilot

00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:49.779
and how to rewrite your energetic terms. So we've

00:08:49.779 --> 00:08:52.759
got three basically basic things. So the premise

00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.340
is... Spiritual stagnation. The premise is why

00:08:55.340 --> 00:08:58.820
would somebody's soul be bored? Because you're

00:08:58.820 --> 00:09:04.220
not manifesting what trips you, what invigorates

00:09:04.220 --> 00:09:07.279
you. You're bored because life is boring. Your

00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.159
external reality, that you're not seeing it in

00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:14.379
terms that you want. So it's wanting something

00:09:14.379 --> 00:09:17.080
that isn't manifest would cause boredom. And

00:09:17.080 --> 00:09:18.919
then you'd be going around the same old mountain

00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.759
because your vibration would be low. So boredom

00:09:21.759 --> 00:09:25.960
is a low -grade vibration. So this is interesting

00:09:25.960 --> 00:09:28.899
because... The first thing that came to my mind

00:09:28.899 --> 00:09:31.639
when you were talking about that was these children

00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:34.080
at school that are brilliant, brilliant children.

00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.220
And you have some boring chemistry teacher talking

00:09:37.220 --> 00:09:39.860
about or some algebra teacher that could barely

00:09:39.860 --> 00:09:41.980
even understand the topic himself or herself

00:09:41.980 --> 00:09:45.080
teaching this brilliant child about algebra that

00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:49.960
they'll never use. And they think there's something

00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:53.279
wrong with them. They're beautiful creators and

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:56.750
they're bored. They're bored out of their gourd.

00:09:56.809 --> 00:09:58.590
They're sitting in this prison. So spiritual

00:09:58.590 --> 00:10:01.490
stagnation. Yeah, from a spiritual standpoint,

00:10:01.549 --> 00:10:03.929
what's going on with that kid? Well, is that

00:10:03.929 --> 00:10:08.500
aligned to boredom? I mean... To me, spiritual

00:10:08.500 --> 00:10:11.779
stagnation would be a low grade vibration. And

00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:15.179
it's funny because I experienced boredom as a

00:10:15.179 --> 00:10:18.019
child a lot. I was aware that I was bored, but

00:10:18.019 --> 00:10:21.340
nothing moved me. And I didn't really get excited

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:23.320
about much, but it wasn't really my life. It

00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:27.340
was existence that I found boring. Now, when

00:10:27.340 --> 00:10:30.120
I could control my existence, then everything

00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:32.840
started to heat up for me because I wasn't playing

00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:36.220
in someone else's playpen. I was in my own, but

00:10:36.220 --> 00:10:39.419
I was bored. a lot as a child and I was probably

00:10:39.419 --> 00:10:42.480
due to what was happening in my childhood but

00:10:42.480 --> 00:10:45.539
I have experienced this boredom that dovetails

00:10:45.539 --> 00:10:47.580
perfectly with what I just said the child in

00:10:47.580 --> 00:10:49.519
school that's sitting there bored out of their

00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:52.580
gourd because of something that totally is not

00:10:52.580 --> 00:10:55.159
relevant to their world so you've got this child

00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:57.509
that's And it could be something to do with the

00:10:57.509 --> 00:10:59.490
teacher, the way the teacher is teaching, all

00:10:59.490 --> 00:11:02.090
the subject matter. But I remember having a lot

00:11:02.090 --> 00:11:04.370
of teachers that knew how to engage a child.

00:11:04.590 --> 00:11:08.090
And then I had my elementary education in the

00:11:08.090 --> 00:11:11.370
70s. So the teachers then were born in the 50s,

00:11:11.370 --> 00:11:13.450
late 40s. They were probably tripping on LSD

00:11:13.450 --> 00:11:15.870
and all sorts of things in the 60s. They come

00:11:15.870 --> 00:11:18.350
into being a teacher because that's what they

00:11:18.350 --> 00:11:21.570
want to do. And they're really good at it. And

00:11:21.570 --> 00:11:24.110
you've got to reach a child, plus teach them

00:11:24.110 --> 00:11:26.370
things that they're... interested in and you

00:11:26.370 --> 00:11:28.129
could ask a child what are you interested they

00:11:28.129 --> 00:11:30.950
might say farming or they like growing plants

00:11:30.950 --> 00:11:33.730
or they like drawing but like you say the algebra

00:11:33.730 --> 00:11:36.710
i mean who the fuck uses that not many people

00:11:36.710 --> 00:11:39.549
i mean i use i guess it's a skill set i guess

00:11:39.549 --> 00:11:41.850
teaching yes well you're different but i guess

00:11:41.850 --> 00:11:44.750
teaching a child that you are teaching the mental

00:11:44.750 --> 00:11:47.649
acuity so you can see that the byproduct would

00:11:47.649 --> 00:11:50.610
be valuable but not the lesson itself well i'm

00:11:50.610 --> 00:11:53.370
just thinking if you look back and you look at,

00:11:53.409 --> 00:11:56.070
there's some very brilliant children and they're

00:11:56.070 --> 00:11:58.049
just bored with school. I mean, I know one of

00:11:58.049 --> 00:12:02.009
my, my second son, John, he was, he was a 4 .0

00:12:02.009 --> 00:12:04.610
student. So school was not even a thing, but

00:12:04.610 --> 00:12:07.830
he was, he wanted to join a band and go be a

00:12:07.830 --> 00:12:10.970
creator, go play music. He'd like, he didn't

00:12:10.970 --> 00:12:12.110
really want everything. How old was he when he

00:12:12.110 --> 00:12:15.649
told you that? Oh, he was in high school, probably

00:12:15.649 --> 00:12:18.529
10th grade. Yeah. He wanted to literally quit

00:12:18.529 --> 00:12:20.809
school. What, what was your reaction to that?

00:12:21.389 --> 00:12:23.110
I said, no, you've got to learn your algebra.

00:12:23.669 --> 00:12:25.870
Yeah, I said, shut up and study your chemistry.

00:12:26.590 --> 00:12:31.389
No, actually, at the time I was co -parenting,

00:12:31.389 --> 00:12:33.970
so there was my ex -spouse that was involved.

00:12:34.230 --> 00:12:36.450
So there was a little bit of juggling there because

00:12:36.450 --> 00:12:40.269
I had to not only navigate his behavior, but

00:12:40.269 --> 00:12:43.690
navigate my ex -spouse's behavior too. And then

00:12:43.690 --> 00:12:45.549
yours in reaction. There was a lot of creativity

00:12:45.549 --> 00:12:50.289
there. But ultimately, we ended up cooperating.

00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:52.700
uh for the benefit of the child which is pretty

00:12:52.700 --> 00:12:55.120
so you gave him you said okay you can join well

00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.019
and you can there were some at the time there

00:12:58.019 --> 00:13:01.639
were things he was doing like he was uh you know

00:13:01.639 --> 00:13:04.799
he's in 10th grade and he was smoking and stuff

00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:07.519
and he was involved with this group of people

00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:10.399
that was probably not good bringing out his best

00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:13.100
self not bringing out his best self anyway he

00:13:13.100 --> 00:13:15.379
acknowledges this now you know he's a great kid

00:13:15.379 --> 00:13:17.519
it's difficult to see at the time But at the

00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.399
time, it's like he didn't want any stupid rules

00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:21.539
and all this. And I don't blame him. There's

00:13:21.539 --> 00:13:25.100
a lot of children feel that way. But what I told

00:13:25.100 --> 00:13:28.039
him was because he was, you know, just starting

00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.379
to drive and get his, you know, when you're driving,

00:13:30.419 --> 00:13:32.519
you get your freedoms. And, of course, with freedom,

00:13:32.620 --> 00:13:35.850
there's a chance to. freely freely screw up too

00:13:35.850 --> 00:13:38.149
right yeah you're free but you're free to screw

00:13:38.149 --> 00:13:41.850
up yeah so um we ended up just having a discussion

00:13:41.850 --> 00:13:45.009
and uh i just showed up one day in believe it

00:13:45.009 --> 00:13:48.649
or not solidarity with my my ex -spouse and i

00:13:48.649 --> 00:13:51.570
just asked him the question i said uh i said

00:13:51.570 --> 00:13:54.289
hey so um i'm understanding that you want to

00:13:54.289 --> 00:13:57.240
quit school and we've We've talked about it.

00:13:57.259 --> 00:13:59.980
We see things a little differently than you do.

00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.639
So I want to have a conversation, and I'm going

00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:05.299
to ask you to point out the flaw in my logic.

00:14:05.299 --> 00:14:07.700
Yes, why am I being unreasonable? What is my

00:14:07.700 --> 00:14:12.299
flaw? So number one, I said, I understand that

00:14:12.299 --> 00:14:14.879
you're smoking cigarettes and possibly some other

00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:18.740
things too. Yeah. I said, did you know that's

00:14:18.740 --> 00:14:21.019
against the law? Not only the cigarettes, but

00:14:21.019 --> 00:14:22.929
the other stuff. And he's like, yeah, it's a

00:14:22.929 --> 00:14:25.389
stupid law. And I'm like, look, I agree with

00:14:25.389 --> 00:14:28.850
you. I totally agree with you. I agree with you

00:14:28.850 --> 00:14:33.149
that it's a stupid law. I'll stipulate it. And

00:14:33.149 --> 00:14:34.830
you didn't expect that, but I agree with him.

00:14:34.870 --> 00:14:36.470
No, that's a great answer. He's like, no, I agree

00:14:36.470 --> 00:14:38.529
with you. But until you change the law, that's

00:14:38.529 --> 00:14:41.090
the law. Yeah, and we've got to obey it. So if

00:14:41.090 --> 00:14:42.950
you know there's a law and you disobey the law,

00:14:43.110 --> 00:14:45.509
would you agree that you're not respecting the

00:14:45.509 --> 00:14:48.840
law? Well, yeah, because it's stupid. I said,

00:14:48.860 --> 00:14:53.360
no, I stipulated to that already. So if you don't

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.600
respect laws, can we agree that you would probably

00:14:56.600 --> 00:15:00.279
not be a very good driver? If you don't respect

00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.440
laws, would it be reasonable to say that you're

00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.419
probably not going to be a good driver? And he's

00:15:05.419 --> 00:15:07.980
like, oh, no. You know, I started getting. Yes,

00:15:07.980 --> 00:15:10.659
because he saw the writing. Well, he saw the

00:15:10.659 --> 00:15:13.740
writing on the wall. I'm going to go. He saw

00:15:13.740 --> 00:15:16.559
my path. He says, no, no, no. You know, and he,

00:15:16.620 --> 00:15:20.039
cause he saw the threat to driving. Yes. So I

00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.600
basically, I said, look, uh, strong. We've already

00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:26.580
agreed that if you're going to smoke and you're

00:15:26.580 --> 00:15:28.480
going to behave this way, then you're going to

00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:30.200
do it by yourself. And it's not going to involve

00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:34.519
the, you driving one of our vehicles. So it's

00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.919
hardcore. It's hardcore. But I said, we're happy

00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:40.899
either way. We've already decided whatever you

00:15:40.899 --> 00:15:44.009
decide, we're fine with it. But. We have to make

00:15:44.009 --> 00:15:47.529
decisions based on your decisions. Yes. So he

00:15:47.529 --> 00:15:50.129
was probably floored, wasn't he? He was a little

00:15:50.129 --> 00:15:53.330
bit angry. But guess what? He stayed in school.

00:15:53.470 --> 00:15:57.110
He graduated strong grades. And you let him have

00:15:57.110 --> 00:16:00.090
the car. Did he stop smoking? He just probably

00:16:00.090 --> 00:16:02.990
didn't let you know about it. Just not the illegal

00:16:02.990 --> 00:16:05.830
stuff. Well, the illegal stuff would have been

00:16:05.830 --> 00:16:08.629
better than the cigarettes, probably. A little

00:16:08.629 --> 00:16:10.690
bit of pot's not going to hurt you. Well, I mean,

00:16:10.710 --> 00:16:13.350
I'm not a versed pot, but when it's your child.

00:16:13.669 --> 00:16:16.029
Oh, sure. When he's a teenager. When they're

00:16:16.029 --> 00:16:17.950
in school and you have to do the right thing.

00:16:18.309 --> 00:16:21.129
So what I told him was, so basically it did work.

00:16:21.169 --> 00:16:22.950
And I'm not going to say he never smoked anything

00:16:22.950 --> 00:16:26.029
ever again. He was so conspect about it. But

00:16:26.029 --> 00:16:29.350
he stayed in school and he finished school. Now,

00:16:29.409 --> 00:16:32.549
he was very clear that as soon as he's done with

00:16:32.549 --> 00:16:35.389
school, he's moving out. He's going to move in

00:16:35.389 --> 00:16:36.710
with his buddies. Enjoy his band. He's going

00:16:36.710 --> 00:16:40.100
to do his band thing. So we said, fine. When

00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:42.759
he was 18, he moved out, did his band thing and

00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.179
got his buddies together. And was he financially

00:16:45.179 --> 00:16:47.259
independent from you? Well, I was just going

00:16:47.259 --> 00:16:51.559
to say that because he ended up moving in with

00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:54.000
his buddies and his buddies ate all his food

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:57.500
and got into his stuff. The first 10 days they

00:16:57.500 --> 00:16:59.960
were at this rental property, they didn't even

00:16:59.960 --> 00:17:04.000
have $200 amongst them to turn on the electricity.

00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:06.940
So the next door neighbor ran them a single.

00:17:07.609 --> 00:17:09.769
uh extension cords they could have oh that was

00:17:09.769 --> 00:17:12.009
resourceful so they could have a light so my

00:17:12.009 --> 00:17:17.470
point is this you know so did he come home or

00:17:17.470 --> 00:17:19.769
did he he got his shit together he stayed he

00:17:19.769 --> 00:17:22.630
no no they ended up they ended up making it okay

00:17:22.630 --> 00:17:25.589
you know he picked up yeah and now he's a phenomenal

00:17:25.589 --> 00:17:27.930
young man he's uh they actually the state he

00:17:27.930 --> 00:17:31.109
works uh with the dot department of transportation

00:17:31.109 --> 00:17:37.279
in texas he does uh he analyzes the global or

00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:41.440
the satellite data and they determine where the

00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:44.079
next roads and where the traffic is and all the

00:17:44.079 --> 00:17:47.160
traffic flow stuff. So have you ever sat down

00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:50.019
with him and examined your parenting skills with

00:17:50.019 --> 00:17:52.000
him? We laugh about it now. It's such a great

00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:54.099
reminisce. I like to do that with my kids. Do

00:17:54.099 --> 00:17:56.319
you remember this? Oh, we laugh about it now.

00:17:56.380 --> 00:17:58.920
It's amazing. But, you know, we have to understand

00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:01.609
that Johnny was a very... is a very beautiful,

00:18:01.710 --> 00:18:03.589
very different kid, but he's a creator. Yeah,

00:18:03.609 --> 00:18:06.650
he was bored in school. He hated it. And he didn't

00:18:06.650 --> 00:18:07.829
like my... Didn't see the point. He didn't like

00:18:07.829 --> 00:18:10.190
my rules either. Well, they kind of do suck as

00:18:10.190 --> 00:18:12.829
a teenager, don't they? All of us do. Yeah, exactly.

00:18:13.109 --> 00:18:15.130
I mean, he's not wrong. It's part of being a

00:18:15.130 --> 00:18:17.450
teenager. Well, we had some basic rules. Well,

00:18:17.450 --> 00:18:19.930
I was out of the house at 16, so I was quite

00:18:19.930 --> 00:18:21.890
good. Tell me your story. No, it's not really

00:18:21.890 --> 00:18:25.769
a story, but I had independence at age 16. So

00:18:25.769 --> 00:18:27.769
here, the children under your wing until 18.

00:18:28.210 --> 00:18:31.470
Yeah, it was co -parenting. In different households.

00:18:32.490 --> 00:18:34.869
That's a very strange creature. But one thing,

00:18:34.950 --> 00:18:37.130
a real quick story, one more about Johnny that

00:18:37.130 --> 00:18:41.930
was fascinating. How old is he? Let's see, he

00:18:41.930 --> 00:18:46.390
was born in 89. He's probably 35 now, I guess.

00:18:46.730 --> 00:18:50.849
At least track. Mid -30s. We always let the children

00:18:50.849 --> 00:18:54.109
do what they needed to do, but we just gave them

00:18:54.109 --> 00:18:57.269
the boundaries. Like, don't jump on moving boat

00:18:57.269 --> 00:19:00.910
trailers. Do you know what my son told me the

00:19:00.910 --> 00:19:04.200
other day? He was driving down I -4. He had a

00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:06.579
truck. They were going 70 miles an hour. A truck

00:19:06.579 --> 00:19:08.940
pulled up next to him with his friends driving

00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:11.839
it. He got out the truck through his back window,

00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:14.400
moving at 70, climbed into the back of the truck.

00:19:14.500 --> 00:19:16.839
So the two people driving the car that he was

00:19:16.839 --> 00:19:19.480
in and the truck are going side by side. He goes

00:19:19.480 --> 00:19:21.640
into the cooler at the back, brings out some

00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:24.599
alcohol and then climbs back in going 70. You've

00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:26.700
got to trust that both of those drivers are going

00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:28.380
to stay like that. And you've got this drunk

00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:31.900
kid. And he did this when he was 16 or 17. And

00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:34.539
they never told me that. Now, he's 31 now, so

00:19:34.539 --> 00:19:37.119
we're okay to go back. But it's like, you were

00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:38.779
talking about don't jump on moving trailers.

00:19:39.119 --> 00:19:41.940
I mean, what Charlie did was unbelievably stupid.

00:19:42.619 --> 00:19:45.160
I mean... I mean, that is fucking insane. I mean,

00:19:45.180 --> 00:19:48.440
when I... Jump on a moving trailer? Are you crazy?

00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:50.740
I can't even believe that I'm still alive. I

00:19:50.740 --> 00:19:52.500
mean... Would you have done stuff like that?

00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.140
I mean, not... I mean, that to me is... Not that

00:19:55.140 --> 00:19:56.799
extreme. Christ, that was extreme. I did some

00:19:56.799 --> 00:19:59.480
stupid stuff. Right. Like, I remember my God

00:19:59.480 --> 00:20:02.789
family used to live in Toronto. For those who

00:20:02.789 --> 00:20:05.029
don't know what God family is, that means...

00:20:05.029 --> 00:20:07.869
Spiritual and religious. It's kind of a... Yes,

00:20:07.930 --> 00:20:10.430
it's if your parents die, they get to raise you,

00:20:10.470 --> 00:20:12.869
I think is the absolute orthodox meaning of that.

00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:15.470
That's the orthodox meaning, yeah. And I think

00:20:15.470 --> 00:20:17.009
they're... I don't know if my parents had that

00:20:17.009 --> 00:20:19.609
agreement or not, because we have the same...

00:20:19.609 --> 00:20:22.130
My godparents were the godparents for all of

00:20:22.130 --> 00:20:25.230
us. But the bottom line, for those of you who

00:20:25.230 --> 00:20:26.890
don't know what godparents are, it's basically

00:20:26.890 --> 00:20:31.589
a set of people who... Who've got your back.

00:20:31.769 --> 00:20:33.430
Yes, there you go. As parents, they've got your

00:20:33.430 --> 00:20:35.630
back. So if something happens to you, they're

00:20:35.630 --> 00:20:37.009
going to help you with the kids and take care

00:20:37.009 --> 00:20:40.089
of the kids and raise them honorably and that

00:20:40.089 --> 00:20:42.970
type of thing. Well, my godparents lived in Toronto.

00:20:43.890 --> 00:20:47.170
And my godfather and mother, they lived in Scarborough,

00:20:47.369 --> 00:20:51.609
which is the, I guess, the easternmost section

00:20:51.609 --> 00:20:55.609
of Toronto. And we'd go there for the summer

00:20:55.609 --> 00:20:59.880
and we would stay up all night pretty much. And

00:20:59.880 --> 00:21:01.859
literally, they had a two -story house. We'd

00:21:01.859 --> 00:21:05.039
climb out the upper windows onto the roof, go

00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:08.559
down off the roof, and then we'd go pool hopping

00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:13.180
and streaking and just all sorts of crazy stuff.

00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:15.880
Just like all night. Then we'd get back, climb

00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:20.279
in bed, climb back. And did you get away with

00:21:20.279 --> 00:21:21.859
it more times than you got busted? Oh, we never

00:21:21.859 --> 00:21:23.160
got busted. Oh, you never got busted. Oh, that

00:21:23.160 --> 00:21:25.700
was good. That's good. That was great. So much

00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:27.950
so that when my parents were... When we were

00:21:27.950 --> 00:21:30.450
much older, like we were all young adults, right?

00:21:30.589 --> 00:21:33.890
Like we actually, my brothers and I would joke

00:21:33.890 --> 00:21:36.589
about it and we would, my parents were like,

00:21:36.690 --> 00:21:38.849
oh, you never, my mom was like, oh, you never

00:21:38.849 --> 00:21:42.269
did that. And we'd look at each other like, okay,

00:21:42.329 --> 00:21:44.910
yeah, we never did that. Even though our story

00:21:44.910 --> 00:21:48.670
is perfectly. Yes. We can tell you details. Yeah,

00:21:48.710 --> 00:21:51.329
I just don't think, I mean, Charlie telling me

00:21:51.329 --> 00:21:53.089
this, you know, all these years later is one

00:21:53.089 --> 00:21:54.890
thing. Had he have told me that at the time,

00:21:54.930 --> 00:21:57.369
he would have never gone out again. But then

00:21:57.369 --> 00:21:59.490
I couldn't have penalized him for being open

00:21:59.490 --> 00:22:01.529
and telling me that. So it's quite a difficult

00:22:01.529 --> 00:22:03.910
line, but that was nuts. So what does this tell

00:22:03.910 --> 00:22:07.089
us about our souls and our journeys? It's got

00:22:07.089 --> 00:22:09.170
a deep dive. The first part of this question,

00:22:09.250 --> 00:22:12.829
a deep dive into spiritual stagnation. So, but

00:22:12.829 --> 00:22:15.460
this is what I'm bringing up because... It's

00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:17.299
my belief that when you come into this world,

00:22:17.319 --> 00:22:20.660
whether it's an initial entry or a re -entry

00:22:20.660 --> 00:22:23.400
into this world, that it's a new experience.

00:22:23.819 --> 00:22:27.039
And there's this, because we've forgotten whatever

00:22:27.039 --> 00:22:30.000
happened prior to our re -entry into this world.

00:22:31.150 --> 00:22:33.750
it's a new experience well that wouldn't allow

00:22:33.750 --> 00:22:36.470
for spiritual stagnation though that would be

00:22:36.470 --> 00:22:40.109
revitalizing i sometimes think i don't get bored

00:22:40.109 --> 00:22:42.150
now because i have all sorts of creative projects

00:22:42.150 --> 00:22:45.410
but i have been bored and part of me thought

00:22:45.410 --> 00:22:48.690
i'm just so familiar with planet earth i have

00:22:48.690 --> 00:22:51.910
really been around the block here And I think

00:22:51.910 --> 00:22:54.769
that was kind of the boredom of existence because

00:22:54.769 --> 00:22:57.450
there's other realities that we're part of. And

00:22:57.450 --> 00:23:01.769
this is a very closed in, low vibration. You've

00:23:01.769 --> 00:23:04.490
got room to be creative and create within this,

00:23:04.630 --> 00:23:07.829
but it's a very, very closed in structure. And

00:23:07.829 --> 00:23:10.150
I think that might have been part of this existential

00:23:10.150 --> 00:23:14.009
bored feelings that I had as a kid. And then

00:23:14.009 --> 00:23:16.569
when I got older, because I had a creative outlet

00:23:16.569 --> 00:23:18.730
and I realised I could write and I could talk

00:23:18.730 --> 00:23:21.789
about ideas, that alleviated. the boredom but

00:23:21.789 --> 00:23:24.730
the boredom that I had had all my life was it

00:23:24.730 --> 00:23:27.769
was just a familiarity I think I'm like I'm so

00:23:27.769 --> 00:23:31.029
over this it's so fascinating to hear you talk

00:23:31.029 --> 00:23:35.750
because your outlet was creative reading and

00:23:35.750 --> 00:23:37.630
writing that was your thing reading and writing

00:23:37.630 --> 00:23:41.069
and I actually pretty much I was really good

00:23:41.069 --> 00:23:43.750
at writing but I I think I'm a little dyslexic

00:23:43.750 --> 00:23:45.430
or something. I'm like a really super slow reader.

00:23:46.069 --> 00:23:48.250
You could listen to a really good audio now and

00:23:48.250 --> 00:23:50.269
get exactly the same. It doesn't matter really

00:23:50.269 --> 00:23:52.150
that you can't read because you could just go

00:23:52.150 --> 00:23:55.130
online and hear a beautiful book read to you.

00:23:55.130 --> 00:23:59.009
And in a way, it's a totally different experience,

00:23:59.250 --> 00:24:01.789
but it's an absolute absorption into ideas. Right.

00:24:01.809 --> 00:24:04.750
And nowadays I can put it on 2X. Like I had this

00:24:04.750 --> 00:24:07.529
girl, she was doing a 40 -minute presentation

00:24:07.529 --> 00:24:11.230
this morning. I put it on 2X. Like twice speed?

00:24:11.390 --> 00:24:13.230
Oh, good. And I got all the information. Yes,

00:24:13.250 --> 00:24:14.730
that's good. I've done that. And it was fine.

00:24:14.730 --> 00:24:17.190
Yeah. And you could also read transcripts. But

00:24:17.190 --> 00:24:20.369
when I was a child, I was also very creative,

00:24:20.410 --> 00:24:23.809
but my creativity was business. Like I had my

00:24:23.809 --> 00:24:28.289
first business in 1975. Did you make money at

00:24:28.289 --> 00:24:30.309
it? Tons. How old were you when you started?

00:24:30.329 --> 00:24:32.349
Twelve. That's what, what was it? We've talked

00:24:32.349 --> 00:24:34.430
about this, have we? Refresh my memory. Well,

00:24:34.450 --> 00:24:37.170
I was in Detroit. Everybody I knew that was rich

00:24:37.170 --> 00:24:40.759
as a child. In Detroit, had a paper route. That's

00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:42.059
right, we did talk about that. And I bought,

00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:44.700
I had one paper route and just maxed it out.

00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:46.779
Like my manager was like, oh my God, you got

00:24:46.779 --> 00:24:48.740
all these. So how many hours did you spend delivering

00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:50.839
newspapers prior to going to school then? Could

00:24:50.839 --> 00:24:52.920
you get it done in a couple of hours? Well, the

00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:55.319
paper I delivered was only twice a week. So then

00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:56.940
you had other people, you recruited other people

00:24:56.940 --> 00:24:59.240
to do it and you skimmed from there? Not for

00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:01.200
the paper route, but while I was doing my paper

00:25:01.200 --> 00:25:04.039
route, what happened, well, basically I maxed

00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:07.980
out one paper route and then there was a... The

00:25:07.980 --> 00:25:10.299
adjacent paper route, like the next route over,

00:25:10.420 --> 00:25:13.539
became available, so my manager let me buy it.

00:25:13.619 --> 00:25:15.500
Because it's like real estate. You have to buy

00:25:15.500 --> 00:25:19.019
the route. Oh, really? Yeah. So you buy the paper

00:25:19.019 --> 00:25:23.160
route. How do you make your money? Based on the

00:25:23.160 --> 00:25:26.779
circulation, how many customers you have. How

00:25:26.779 --> 00:25:30.160
did you make? Who paid you? Well, there's a margin.

00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:33.299
So I would buy my papers, my newspapers, back

00:25:33.299 --> 00:25:35.000
in the day. Oh, so you're buying these papers.

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:36.859
So I would literally buy the papers for like...

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.339
I forget the numbers. Maybe it was a dime. And

00:25:39.339 --> 00:25:40.700
then you'd deliver a paper and someone would

00:25:40.700 --> 00:25:42.839
pay you cash for it. Yeah, so I'd buy a paper

00:25:42.839 --> 00:25:44.640
for like a dime and then I would sell it for

00:25:44.640 --> 00:25:47.880
a quarter. So you're actually buying an inventory

00:25:47.880 --> 00:25:51.019
then? Yeah, I'm buying an inventory. And then

00:25:51.019 --> 00:25:52.819
the cool thing was that I could return whatever

00:25:52.819 --> 00:25:56.279
didn't get distributed. So I would always give

00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:58.140
them what my projection is. So you had to become

00:25:58.140 --> 00:26:00.180
something of a salesman then when you were doing

00:26:00.180 --> 00:26:01.720
this? Totally, yeah. Or did people want their

00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:04.240
paper? Or did you have to convince them to buy

00:26:04.240 --> 00:26:06.970
it? They would have subscriptions. So I would

00:26:06.970 --> 00:26:10.950
go once a week or once a month and collect for

00:26:10.950 --> 00:26:13.170
the month. And a lot of times they would give

00:26:13.170 --> 00:26:15.230
me tips because if you're on time, some would

00:26:15.230 --> 00:26:18.049
want it under the mat or I want it between the

00:26:18.049 --> 00:26:20.210
doors or I want it on my mailbox or whatever.

00:26:20.430 --> 00:26:23.109
So it was all customer service always. That's

00:26:23.109 --> 00:26:25.269
good to remember all that. But I bought the route

00:26:25.269 --> 00:26:27.329
next to it. Did you have a bike? Were you on

00:26:27.329 --> 00:26:29.769
a bike or walking? Eventually I, well, I started

00:26:29.769 --> 00:26:31.930
off walking and then I bought a bike and then

00:26:31.930 --> 00:26:34.329
I bought a heavy duty bike. Horse and carriage.

00:26:34.470 --> 00:26:36.490
No, for real. I ended up buying these, there

00:26:36.490 --> 00:26:38.589
were these, they were called Huskies or something.

00:26:38.650 --> 00:26:40.289
There was these. Oh, right. And you could put

00:26:40.289 --> 00:26:42.250
like saddlebags on them. I was going to say panniers

00:26:42.250 --> 00:26:44.170
on the back. Like during Thanksgiving, we used

00:26:44.170 --> 00:26:47.190
to, I used to have like these monster bags and

00:26:47.190 --> 00:26:48.930
I'd have. Fill them up because they had all the

00:26:48.930 --> 00:26:50.609
marketing stuff. And then you'd have to take

00:26:50.609 --> 00:26:52.650
them out and balance it, wouldn't you? You can't

00:26:52.650 --> 00:26:54.750
take all this side out first. And heaven help

00:26:54.750 --> 00:26:57.230
you on Christmas because in Detroit it was icy.

00:26:57.329 --> 00:26:59.390
So now you've got this bag. Oh, so your awareness

00:26:59.390 --> 00:27:01.609
has to be. No wonder my bag is messed up. Yeah,

00:27:01.630 --> 00:27:04.369
that's why you're in such good shape. So I was,

00:27:04.470 --> 00:27:06.589
do you work out? Yeah, I have a paper out. Page

00:27:06.589 --> 00:27:11.309
12. But I eventually got a route that had the

00:27:11.309 --> 00:27:15.119
apartment buildings. So I had a key to the apartment

00:27:15.119 --> 00:27:17.000
buildings and I could just go. And it was warm

00:27:17.000 --> 00:27:19.500
in the wintertime. I could thaw off with my hands.

00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:23.240
That's good. And I could deliver them all. The

00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:26.019
point is, I was a business person. You were creating.

00:27:26.140 --> 00:27:29.500
But that was my creation. You were highly creative.

00:27:29.500 --> 00:27:31.599
And when my parents needed money, I had money

00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.200
for them, which is big. Did they ever come to

00:27:34.200 --> 00:27:36.420
you because they needed money or did you offer

00:27:36.420 --> 00:27:38.380
it? Was it ever something? I never offered it.

00:27:38.660 --> 00:27:42.490
My dad... My dad asked me, and of course, how

00:27:42.490 --> 00:27:44.390
could you say no to your dad? Yeah, you couldn't.

00:27:44.430 --> 00:27:49.809
And, you know, my dad was, sadly, he was not,

00:27:49.930 --> 00:27:53.200
he was a super nice guy. But he was not much

00:27:53.200 --> 00:27:55.119
of a business guy. He was more of just a worker.

00:27:55.240 --> 00:27:56.819
He was just a good worker. Yeah, there you go.

00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:58.839
And there's a lot of people like that. We choose

00:27:58.839 --> 00:28:02.440
lifetimes to come in as that. My job's to change

00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:05.319
tires, and that's what I do. And look how fast,

00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:07.900
how efficient I am, right? And it's a necessary

00:28:07.900 --> 00:28:11.059
job. Yeah, everybody's thing is important. My

00:28:11.059 --> 00:28:15.619
point is that I found... joy and happiness creating

00:28:15.619 --> 00:28:19.480
business. And then when I started learning that,

00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:23.440
hey, why am I getting at the time is like 1 %

00:28:23.440 --> 00:28:26.559
interest in the bank when my uncle was teaching

00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:30.180
me how to get 1 % a month from investing. And

00:28:30.180 --> 00:28:32.420
that doesn't sound like much now because we're

00:28:32.420 --> 00:28:35.599
trading on the internet, but... And I used to

00:28:35.599 --> 00:28:38.039
get the newspaper and study. My uncle taught

00:28:38.039 --> 00:28:40.259
me, you know, this is a stock price. This is

00:28:40.259 --> 00:28:42.759
a bond. This is the treasury. This is this. He

00:28:42.759 --> 00:28:45.039
would teach me all these. And I was just a young

00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:47.759
teenager. And he would tell me, okay, this is

00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:50.579
the PE ratio. This is the price versus earnings.

00:28:50.819 --> 00:28:53.099
And he would tell me about that. And he'd tell

00:28:53.099 --> 00:28:56.240
me the buy, sell, the ask, the bid, ask, price,

00:28:56.460 --> 00:28:59.839
the spread, the volume. So he would teach me

00:28:59.839 --> 00:29:02.640
all these things. As a teenager, and truthfully,

00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:05.200
I didn't understand most of it, but I hung in

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.779
there. And then as my life went on, I would learn

00:29:07.779 --> 00:29:11.400
more and more about investing. And now investing

00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:14.940
is like, I wake up, I make my coffee and I go

00:29:14.940 --> 00:29:17.660
take up positions. It's almost like a daily thing.

00:29:17.740 --> 00:29:20.799
So does this prevent you from being bored? Do

00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:23.279
you know what this means, spiritual stagnation?

00:29:23.380 --> 00:29:25.500
Have you experienced this or have you always

00:29:25.500 --> 00:29:29.349
been this dynamo? No, I think that there... This

00:29:29.349 --> 00:29:31.390
is an interesting thing because what I'm talking

00:29:31.390 --> 00:29:34.430
about is three -dimensional experience. The spiritual

00:29:34.430 --> 00:29:38.650
stagnation would be, I'm going to keep going

00:29:38.650 --> 00:29:41.730
back to this idea that a man or a woman without

00:29:41.730 --> 00:29:45.230
vision will perish. So I think that people start

00:29:45.230 --> 00:29:48.130
to die when they don't have hope, when they don't

00:29:48.130 --> 00:29:50.250
have something that they enjoy. And their purpose.

00:29:50.730 --> 00:29:55.000
Like if your thing was knitting Afghans. And

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:57.500
you just, it brought you joy to knit Afghans

00:29:57.500 --> 00:29:59.960
and give them to homeless people. If that's your

00:29:59.960 --> 00:30:03.039
thing, it doesn't have to be business. No. It

00:30:03.039 --> 00:30:05.819
brings you joy. That is beautiful. That is just

00:30:05.819 --> 00:30:08.539
unbelievable. Or if you grow food, like we grow

00:30:08.539 --> 00:30:11.440
food on Phillips Island. You know the purple

00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:17.680
sweet potatoes? Yes, folly, full of, what's the,

00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:20.619
I listened to a podcast at two in the morning

00:30:20.619 --> 00:30:23.180
and it was talking about the purple sweet potatoes.

00:30:23.240 --> 00:30:26.079
This is so funny. Polyphenols, is that what he

00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:30.559
was talking about? And I'd love to try one. And

00:30:30.559 --> 00:30:32.660
that came up last night because purple sweet

00:30:32.660 --> 00:30:35.339
potatoes are the thing. What's a polyphenol?

00:30:35.339 --> 00:30:37.579
What does that do? Well, a poly means many and

00:30:37.579 --> 00:30:41.309
phenol, those are plant -based. molecules, plants.

00:30:41.490 --> 00:30:43.970
And they do what for you? Think of polyphenols

00:30:43.970 --> 00:30:49.190
as like Lego blocks. There's a whole bunch of

00:30:49.190 --> 00:30:51.789
different types and there's different reasons

00:30:51.789 --> 00:30:54.490
that you'd have different shapes and sizes to

00:30:54.490 --> 00:30:56.069
accomplish different things. So think of them

00:30:56.069 --> 00:30:58.970
as Lego blocks. Some Lego blocks are good for

00:30:58.970 --> 00:31:01.170
bases and some are good for the fingers on the

00:31:01.170 --> 00:31:03.309
hands of the Lego people, right? So they all

00:31:03.309 --> 00:31:06.950
have different purposes. But some polyphenols

00:31:06.950 --> 00:31:09.750
are what's called anthocyanins. Those are the

00:31:09.750 --> 00:31:13.470
deep purple, the ones that are berries, like

00:31:13.470 --> 00:31:16.329
the deep berry colors. Those have certain purposes.

00:31:16.450 --> 00:31:20.849
They're good. I don't want to say curing diseases

00:31:20.849 --> 00:31:23.970
because you can't say that. But it helps to create

00:31:23.970 --> 00:31:27.230
good health. Good health. All of them are good

00:31:27.230 --> 00:31:29.329
for something, but you have to know what's good

00:31:29.329 --> 00:31:31.950
for what. There's a whole family of polyphenols

00:31:31.950 --> 00:31:38.460
called adaptogens. adaptogens and adaptogens

00:31:38.460 --> 00:31:41.839
help you experience stress in your life but have

00:31:41.839 --> 00:31:46.940
a more peaceful response to it oh so a load of

00:31:46.940 --> 00:31:49.740
those that's oh i'll give you some but you well

00:31:49.740 --> 00:31:52.839
i've given you that go in yes that go in is it's

00:31:52.839 --> 00:31:56.029
called a balancing blend yeah and the I give

00:31:56.029 --> 00:31:58.430
that as gifts. Yes, that's a lovely one. So instead

00:31:58.430 --> 00:32:00.150
of a bottle of wine. That's full of B vitamins

00:32:00.150 --> 00:32:03.450
as well. I have that in the morning. I just swig

00:32:03.450 --> 00:32:05.089
it straight out the bottle from the refrigerator.

00:32:05.089 --> 00:32:07.150
It's full of polyphenols. That whole bottle is

00:32:07.150 --> 00:32:10.089
full of polyphenols. Anthocyanins. They've got

00:32:10.089 --> 00:32:12.829
the adaptogens. Because that bottle itself is

00:32:12.829 --> 00:32:18.779
based on Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese. That's

00:32:18.779 --> 00:32:20.160
the first thing I'd do in the morning before

00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.240
my tea. Oh, it's great. Yeah. So my point is...

00:32:22.240 --> 00:32:24.700
Anyway, back to, we're talking about, I'm giving,

00:32:24.799 --> 00:32:26.359
and you were talking about your sweet potatoes.

00:32:26.380 --> 00:32:27.220
So we're talking about giving and sweet potatoes.

00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:30.039
Yeah. We grew so many, those sweet potatoes,

00:32:30.079 --> 00:32:32.259
those purple on purple ones, sometimes they're

00:32:32.259 --> 00:32:36.920
called Okinawan, but what, right now, if you

00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:39.140
look at the tables you gave me, those big heavy

00:32:39.140 --> 00:32:42.200
ones that you barely lift them, there's a whole

00:32:42.200 --> 00:32:44.480
bunch of purple sweet potatoes, babies on those.

00:32:45.069 --> 00:32:47.190
And you can literally, what you do is you sprout

00:32:47.190 --> 00:32:49.390
them and let them grow. And how long do they

00:32:49.390 --> 00:32:51.170
take to get to be the size of your fist then?

00:32:51.609 --> 00:32:54.250
Well, right now I'm using a sweet potato just

00:32:54.250 --> 00:32:56.670
to get the slips. Okay. And once you have the

00:32:56.670 --> 00:32:58.710
slip, then each node. Oh, I see. Like, yeah,

00:32:58.809 --> 00:33:01.970
they send out a sprout. Yeah. And then each node

00:33:01.970 --> 00:33:05.190
becomes its own plant. So just one sweet potato

00:33:05.190 --> 00:33:08.109
I can get. Well, I'd like one of the nodes then.

00:33:08.250 --> 00:33:10.309
Can I take one with me? Yeah, totally. Because

00:33:10.309 --> 00:33:12.250
I have a planting area and it's coming to life.

00:33:12.250 --> 00:33:13.569
So it's going to be great. No, it's going to

00:33:13.569 --> 00:33:16.190
take over. It'll fill up a nine by nine area.

00:33:16.289 --> 00:33:19.829
It'll just go. Wow. And yeah, you'll have sweet

00:33:19.829 --> 00:33:20.589
potatoes the rest of your life. So I should put

00:33:20.589 --> 00:33:22.150
it in a big container because it's all going

00:33:22.150 --> 00:33:24.509
to go in containers. You know what? I could do

00:33:24.509 --> 00:33:26.630
it in my daughter's old sandbox. That's about

00:33:26.630 --> 00:33:29.410
half the size of this rug, maybe six feet by

00:33:29.410 --> 00:33:32.109
eight feet. It'll fill it up. And the bees love

00:33:32.109 --> 00:33:35.069
it. But the point is, we had so many of those.

00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:38.779
Like three years ago, we had so many sweet potatoes.

00:33:38.799 --> 00:33:41.700
We gave away like 13 bushels. That's so lovely.

00:33:41.980 --> 00:33:44.900
And those are like $5 a piece. I mean, it's ridiculous.

00:33:45.160 --> 00:33:47.980
Who did you give them to? Whoever wanted them.

00:33:48.099 --> 00:33:52.039
Whoever needed this. Anybody. Like when we have

00:33:52.039 --> 00:33:53.660
too many lemons or limes, we give them away.

00:33:53.880 --> 00:33:57.859
But the point is, there's a lot of joy. This

00:33:57.859 --> 00:34:00.339
is all about spiritual giving. Not being bored.

00:34:00.579 --> 00:34:03.019
Not being bored. When you're growing, and I'm

00:34:03.019 --> 00:34:06.359
watching. These slips. I'm watching a sweet potato

00:34:06.359 --> 00:34:11.159
give these slips. Life. Creating more life. Literally,

00:34:11.159 --> 00:34:12.780
there's like, you'll see it. There's like 10

00:34:12.780 --> 00:34:15.400
different, like these vines growing from it.

00:34:15.400 --> 00:34:17.179
And then you plant each one of those individually

00:34:17.179 --> 00:34:19.019
and then they're going to do the same and it'll

00:34:19.019 --> 00:34:20.880
just be an exponential thing. Well, if you look

00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.480
at, like each sweet potato might have eight or

00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:26.980
10 vines growing from it. Each vine might have

00:34:26.980 --> 00:34:30.880
eight or 10 nodes on it. So each vine, each node

00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:32.559
is going to be its own plant. Oh, I'm really

00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:34.619
looking forward to growing these. And the fact

00:34:34.619 --> 00:34:36.239
that I heard this in the middle of the night,

00:34:36.300 --> 00:34:38.079
that's quite something. There's some synchronicity

00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:40.820
in this. So in terms of spiritual, though, so

00:34:40.820 --> 00:34:42.159
a lot of what we're talking about, like whether

00:34:42.159 --> 00:34:43.380
it's... Well, you're talking about giving and

00:34:43.380 --> 00:34:47.360
creating, bringing you joy. And that's the antidote

00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:50.039
to boredom. That's one of them. Some people,

00:34:50.099 --> 00:34:53.900
maybe their joy is surfing. Have you ever heard

00:34:53.900 --> 00:34:56.139
of dopamine rush? Yes. Do you know what that

00:34:56.139 --> 00:34:58.659
means? It means something is going on chemically

00:34:58.659 --> 00:35:01.340
in your brain where you feel great. Yes. It's

00:35:01.340 --> 00:35:03.340
a release of something. And it's a real thing.

00:35:03.460 --> 00:35:05.500
So they used to, you've heard people say, oh,

00:35:05.539 --> 00:35:10.360
that person's a dope. Okay. Or they have this

00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.000
dopey feeling. Dopamine back when our parents

00:35:14.000 --> 00:35:17.699
were young was that puppy love feeling. When

00:35:17.699 --> 00:35:20.199
you met somebody and the world was perfect. Everything

00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:24.400
was great. That was dopamine. I didn't have that

00:35:24.400 --> 00:35:26.619
as a kid. I never thought the world was great.

00:35:26.699 --> 00:35:28.599
I really hated reality. But when you fell in

00:35:28.599 --> 00:35:31.239
love with Tony, you did. No, that wasn't a conventional

00:35:31.239 --> 00:35:37.679
love story. That was sex. Which by itself...

00:35:37.679 --> 00:35:40.199
Which by itself I gave up my whole life for.

00:35:40.260 --> 00:35:42.780
Which is way better than dopamine, I'm just saying.

00:35:43.460 --> 00:35:47.860
But the dopamine... Basically, at the base of

00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:50.849
your brain, there's this... Dark area. It's a

00:35:50.849 --> 00:35:53.889
black, a very black area. It's a substantially

00:35:53.889 --> 00:35:58.070
black area of substantial size. It's called the

00:35:58.070 --> 00:36:03.230
substantia nigra. Substantial black area. That's

00:36:03.230 --> 00:36:05.750
what produces most of your dopamine. Now, your

00:36:05.750 --> 00:36:08.250
dopamine is good for your brain. So are you saying

00:36:08.250 --> 00:36:11.809
that dopamine is the antidote to spiritual boredom?

00:36:11.809 --> 00:36:15.309
I wouldn't go there. I think spiritual boredom

00:36:15.309 --> 00:36:17.650
and stagnation comes when you've just addressed

00:36:17.650 --> 00:36:20.909
this, not knowing your life's purpose and not

00:36:20.909 --> 00:36:24.309
having an outlet for your creativity. And a lot

00:36:24.309 --> 00:36:27.070
of people, they're just going to work. They're

00:36:27.070 --> 00:36:28.789
getting up. They're going to do a job that they

00:36:28.789 --> 00:36:30.369
hate. They're getting back. They've got major

00:36:30.369 --> 00:36:33.210
financial responsibilities, no way of perceiving

00:36:33.210 --> 00:36:35.849
a better future for themselves. And they don't

00:36:35.849 --> 00:36:38.710
realize how powerful their minds are. When you

00:36:38.710 --> 00:36:41.550
don't realize how powerful your mind is, you

00:36:41.550 --> 00:36:44.429
will stagnate. There will be spiritual boredom.

00:36:44.429 --> 00:36:46.329
But the moment you realize that you're creating

00:36:46.329 --> 00:36:50.010
with your thoughts and visions, that's what pulled

00:36:50.010 --> 00:36:52.650
me out of it. It like shook my whole reality.

00:36:52.809 --> 00:36:56.429
because now i'm realizing and i can see the correlations

00:36:56.429 --> 00:36:59.409
daily that i'm creating my reality if you don't

00:36:59.409 --> 00:37:01.329
believe that you're doing that i can see there'd

00:37:01.329 --> 00:37:05.550
be a big room for spiritual stagnation well so

00:37:05.550 --> 00:37:08.650
you just you you just cemented what i was just

00:37:08.650 --> 00:37:13.650
about to share with you because link these together

00:37:13.650 --> 00:37:17.110
a man without vision will perish why is that

00:37:17.110 --> 00:37:19.570
true Because they don't have a vision for their

00:37:19.570 --> 00:37:22.530
future. They don't have things to hope for. They

00:37:22.530 --> 00:37:24.789
don't have things to look forward to. And create

00:37:24.789 --> 00:37:27.690
for. Or create. That's pretty much close to what

00:37:27.690 --> 00:37:30.920
you said. Well, creating for me had to be tangible.

00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:33.659
It was the works and faith in the Bible. Because

00:37:33.659 --> 00:37:36.659
I wanted to be a successful author, I actually

00:37:36.659 --> 00:37:38.699
had to create products that would align with

00:37:38.699 --> 00:37:40.599
that. But that was just my singular life path.

00:37:40.900 --> 00:37:42.679
But if you want to become a teacher, you want

00:37:42.679 --> 00:37:44.900
to become a blacksmith, there's the physical

00:37:44.900 --> 00:37:48.039
works that have to go along with the faith and

00:37:48.039 --> 00:37:50.829
the hope. And then creating a big vision. You

00:37:50.829 --> 00:37:52.369
don't have to have a big vision. It could be

00:37:52.369 --> 00:37:54.469
a sensible, small vision. It doesn't have to

00:37:54.469 --> 00:37:57.710
be world domination. But you have to. Darn it.

00:38:00.269 --> 00:38:02.690
But you have to have both. You have to put the

00:38:02.690 --> 00:38:04.969
works in, but you'd have to. But I'm creating

00:38:04.969 --> 00:38:07.690
reality is coming through the vibration that

00:38:07.690 --> 00:38:09.769
we hold and thought forms create that vibration.

00:38:10.190 --> 00:38:13.389
I think when I experienced spiritual stagnation,

00:38:13.409 --> 00:38:15.849
it was because I didn't realize the workings

00:38:15.849 --> 00:38:18.809
of my own mind. What I'm trying to do is express

00:38:18.809 --> 00:38:22.190
to you there's a huge and very profound connection

00:38:22.190 --> 00:38:26.090
between what you're saying and our physical self.

00:38:26.409 --> 00:38:30.329
Because what happens is. Dopamine, the stimulus

00:38:30.329 --> 00:38:33.269
for the production of dopamine, they used to

00:38:33.269 --> 00:38:36.150
think it was puppy love. It's not. We can now

00:38:36.150 --> 00:38:39.650
see that the primary thing that produces that

00:38:39.650 --> 00:38:42.750
good feeling in our brain, call it spiritual

00:38:42.750 --> 00:38:48.670
if you will, is novelty. Novelty. So it's doing

00:38:48.670 --> 00:38:51.190
something exactly opposite what you said. So

00:38:51.190 --> 00:38:54.289
you said boredom, boredom, boredom. Well, if

00:38:54.289 --> 00:38:56.329
you do things that are not boredom, those are

00:38:56.329 --> 00:38:59.150
novel. So doing things new and different and

00:38:59.150 --> 00:39:02.989
exciting and exploring and risky, those things

00:39:02.989 --> 00:39:06.849
are producing dopamine in your brain. And all

00:39:06.849 --> 00:39:10.369
of us need dopamine. But what average person

00:39:10.369 --> 00:39:13.809
can manifest that in their life? Most people

00:39:13.809 --> 00:39:15.809
are just getting up and going to work and holding

00:39:15.809 --> 00:39:17.929
their shit together. No, it's automatic. It's

00:39:17.929 --> 00:39:21.489
automatic. Look, let's just say you live a little

00:39:21.489 --> 00:39:24.130
house on the prairie and there was nothing out

00:39:24.130 --> 00:39:28.059
there. You're in the middle of... you know, Oklahoma

00:39:28.059 --> 00:39:30.820
or something, just flat, flat nothingness, right?

00:39:31.420 --> 00:39:33.780
You, you could make an argument that, well, I'd

00:39:33.780 --> 00:39:36.679
be bored out of my gourd, right? You can make

00:39:36.679 --> 00:39:41.360
that argument until you discovered sweet potatoes

00:39:41.360 --> 00:39:45.099
and growing and bumblebees and raising bees and

00:39:45.099 --> 00:39:50.139
earthworms. And wow. Yes. As soon as you started

00:39:50.139 --> 00:39:52.780
discovering things. Launch yourself into your

00:39:52.780 --> 00:39:55.340
environment. So I'm going to say that the creativity

00:39:55.340 --> 00:39:59.059
that you're talking about, you, is going to keep

00:39:59.059 --> 00:40:03.000
you young and vibrant. Here's an example. When

00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:06.159
you start to not do new things and novel things,

00:40:06.719 --> 00:40:11.159
your body's ability to generate dopamine, your

00:40:11.159 --> 00:40:15.539
substantia nigra atrophies. But that's very depressing

00:40:15.539 --> 00:40:17.539
for a lot of people because a lot of people are

00:40:17.539 --> 00:40:20.320
so consumed. What comes first, the depression

00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:26.019
or the... What causes why? Some people won't

00:40:26.019 --> 00:40:29.320
have our pallet of creation, so to speak, because

00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:31.960
they're going to work, they're doing 50 hours

00:40:31.960 --> 00:40:33.719
a week, attending to their responsibilities.

00:40:34.300 --> 00:40:38.440
So are they in a position to have novelty in

00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:41.119
their life, to go and discover something, to

00:40:41.119 --> 00:40:42.960
read about something, to learn? That all takes

00:40:42.960 --> 00:40:46.739
time. People might not have the time to implement

00:40:46.739 --> 00:40:49.400
lots of novel ideas because they're just busy

00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.309
holding their lives together. But that would

00:40:52.309 --> 00:40:55.170
be depressing, wouldn't it? So what's the antidote

00:40:55.170 --> 00:40:57.989
for that? But I do agree with you. Novelty is

00:40:57.989 --> 00:41:01.449
very important. So let me share with you this.

00:41:01.510 --> 00:41:06.170
One of the first symptoms I observe when people

00:41:06.170 --> 00:41:11.829
are deficient with dopamine is shakes. You'll

00:41:11.829 --> 00:41:15.469
see early onset Parkinson's disease. So when

00:41:15.469 --> 00:41:18.429
you have a degradation of your substantia nigra

00:41:18.429 --> 00:41:22.219
and a resulting... reduction in your dopamine

00:41:22.219 --> 00:41:25.440
production you'll start to see shaking because

00:41:25.440 --> 00:41:27.880
you haven't been because you're not you're not

00:41:27.880 --> 00:41:30.260
exercising that portion of your brain and it

00:41:30.260 --> 00:41:33.400
with your whole body whether it's a joint i always

00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:35.019
just say move all the joints that you want to

00:41:35.019 --> 00:41:38.039
keep yeah brush all the teeth you want to keep

00:41:38.039 --> 00:41:41.360
use all of the brain cells that you want to keep

00:41:41.360 --> 00:41:44.780
so that means that if you if you want to keep

00:41:44.780 --> 00:41:47.480
your brain balanced you have to not only be logical

00:41:47.480 --> 00:41:51.539
but also creative You need to nurture the yin

00:41:51.539 --> 00:41:53.059
and the yang, the masculine and the feminine.

00:41:54.780 --> 00:41:58.559
exercise both so spiritual stagnation um then

00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:01.960
is linked to i mean it's probably some more than

00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:04.900
this but the lack of dopamine and what causes

00:42:04.900 --> 00:42:07.920
a dopamine rush is novelty so people get depressed

00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:10.139
because they have no novelty they're not stimulating

00:42:10.139 --> 00:42:13.260
the production of dopamine and they haven't got

00:42:13.260 --> 00:42:17.159
a purpose it's that that's a lot that's a lot

00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:20.280
and you can see it on the extreme uh just take

00:42:20.280 --> 00:42:23.940
like a bank robber What a rush. Yeah, right.

00:42:24.119 --> 00:42:27.360
I mean, that's a rush. And then having to have

00:42:27.360 --> 00:42:29.820
the law not catch up with you. That would be

00:42:29.820 --> 00:42:32.699
a rush. If you come from poverty and your only

00:42:32.699 --> 00:42:34.960
way out of poverty is to go rob a bank or something

00:42:34.960 --> 00:42:37.380
or go rob a store. I don't know how you'd ever

00:42:37.380 --> 00:42:39.340
be the same again because that would be such

00:42:39.340 --> 00:42:41.860
a massive dopamine hit, wouldn't it? I mean,

00:42:41.940 --> 00:42:44.960
look, to me, flying airplanes was a gas. Yeah.

00:42:44.980 --> 00:42:48.599
I love it. But at some point you get so good

00:42:48.599 --> 00:42:51.909
flying airplanes. I mean, how good can you get

00:42:51.909 --> 00:42:53.829
flying airplanes? We flew low level. We flew

00:42:53.829 --> 00:42:56.730
supersonic. We flew air -to -air refueling in

00:42:56.730 --> 00:42:59.190
the weather. Heavy turbulence, you know, like

00:42:59.190 --> 00:43:02.639
moderate turbulence. I mean, how... How much

00:43:02.639 --> 00:43:05.219
more austere does flying have to get before it

00:43:05.219 --> 00:43:07.699
gets like, okay, I got this. Yes, it would be

00:43:07.699 --> 00:43:09.739
rote after a while. Unless there was an emergency,

00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:11.559
that would be the only thing that would stimulate

00:43:11.559 --> 00:43:13.340
you. Well, you're right. But you don't want to

00:43:13.340 --> 00:43:14.840
go flying. No, you don't. Because if I thought

00:43:14.840 --> 00:43:16.679
there was going to be an emergency. No, that's

00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:18.300
absolutely fine. No, you need to get out of dodge.

00:43:18.579 --> 00:43:20.940
Yeah, we're not even taking off. I've saturated

00:43:20.940 --> 00:43:23.420
this. I'm not doing something else. But I do

00:43:23.420 --> 00:43:26.900
have to say some of the most memorable experiences

00:43:26.900 --> 00:43:29.699
I had, both in the Air Force and civilian world,

00:43:29.940 --> 00:43:33.449
were. when when there was an emergency in the

00:43:33.449 --> 00:43:35.949
airplane i remember them like they were yesterday

00:43:35.949 --> 00:43:38.590
all of them yeah every time no matter what it

00:43:38.590 --> 00:43:40.690
is somebody having a heart attack in the back

00:43:40.690 --> 00:43:43.909
or you know whatever you could say that about

00:43:43.909 --> 00:43:46.409
any aspect of life which was the most dramatic

00:43:46.409 --> 00:43:49.630
because that then is the novelty and i think

00:43:49.630 --> 00:43:51.429
that's why a lot of people are addicted to drama

00:43:51.429 --> 00:43:53.710
and if it's actually not going on they'll create

00:43:53.710 --> 00:43:56.869
a drama because it's something It's something

00:43:56.869 --> 00:43:59.369
that's stimulating the dopamine in their head.

00:43:59.469 --> 00:44:02.289
So they found a mechanism for creating drama

00:44:02.289 --> 00:44:06.070
to stimulate dopamine, perhaps, in order to experience

00:44:06.070 --> 00:44:08.309
something new, in order not to feel spiritually

00:44:08.309 --> 00:44:11.010
bored. But that would be your ego mind tackling

00:44:11.010 --> 00:44:13.050
that problem. Yeah. And I think you touched upon

00:44:13.050 --> 00:44:14.969
something interesting because, you know, the

00:44:14.969 --> 00:44:17.590
past, whatever, 15, 20 years, there's been this

00:44:17.590 --> 00:44:20.349
thing about reality television, you know, where

00:44:20.349 --> 00:44:23.030
people are putting this YouTube, you know, they're

00:44:23.030 --> 00:44:25.420
putting their self camera on. This goes back

00:44:25.420 --> 00:44:28.960
years. People would put like 24 -7, you'd see

00:44:28.960 --> 00:44:33.019
them taking a shower and you're literally living

00:44:33.019 --> 00:44:36.260
somebody else's life. And this whole idea of,

00:44:36.340 --> 00:44:40.739
I mean, to me, I've never been that person to

00:44:40.739 --> 00:44:44.360
be interested in. Oh, I love reality TV for all

00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:46.980
sorts of reasons. It's a really good insight

00:44:46.980 --> 00:44:49.000
into human nature. Well, I mean, that might be

00:44:49.000 --> 00:44:51.769
the case, but... To me, it's interesting to hear

00:44:51.769 --> 00:44:53.610
your story and stuff, but I don't need to watch

00:44:53.610 --> 00:44:55.550
you 24 -7. No, not at all. Just tell me that.

00:44:55.750 --> 00:44:59.210
Certain aspects. Tell me what happened and let

00:44:59.210 --> 00:45:01.510
me enjoy that story and then I'm on. I'm going

00:45:01.510 --> 00:45:04.090
somewhere else. But these people that watch these

00:45:04.090 --> 00:45:07.030
soap operas and the Game of Thrones and they

00:45:07.030 --> 00:45:10.550
know every character, what's going on. That might

00:45:10.550 --> 00:45:12.610
be fascinating for somebody, but the reason it's

00:45:12.610 --> 00:45:14.949
fascinating is because they're projecting their

00:45:14.949 --> 00:45:17.409
lives into the... character's life but they're

00:45:17.409 --> 00:45:19.989
not bored while they're doing it right so they're

00:45:19.989 --> 00:45:22.510
there it's a it's a stimulant to their dopamine

00:45:22.510 --> 00:45:25.690
because they're pulling themselves in they're

00:45:25.690 --> 00:45:27.789
not generating they're generating their own dopamine

00:45:27.789 --> 00:45:30.789
but they're doing it vicariously vicariously

00:45:30.789 --> 00:45:34.530
through a surrogate yeah so yeah so i don't know

00:45:34.530 --> 00:45:36.710
we probably hit this from a few different angles

00:45:36.710 --> 00:45:40.230
but i'm i just think that that So everything's

00:45:40.230 --> 00:45:42.329
connected. If your soul... Oh, the other thing.

00:45:42.349 --> 00:45:44.730
So she said here, so Rosie said a deep dive into

00:45:44.730 --> 00:45:46.769
spiritual stagnation. So we've circled that one

00:45:46.769 --> 00:45:49.289
a bit. The next part of it is soul contracts

00:45:49.289 --> 00:45:52.630
on autopilot. So that's interesting. So a soul

00:45:52.630 --> 00:45:55.289
contract is what we come into life with. And

00:45:55.289 --> 00:45:58.030
it's a blueprint for the major themes that we're

00:45:58.030 --> 00:46:00.510
going to tackle in a life. Can you just read

00:46:00.510 --> 00:46:02.409
what she said? You said, was that a statement

00:46:02.409 --> 00:46:04.389
or a question she said? Here, read the first

00:46:04.389 --> 00:46:06.969
one. Oh, here I go. Try to read in public. You

00:46:06.969 --> 00:46:08.329
don't have to read it aloud. Read it to yourself.

00:46:09.500 --> 00:46:13.820
Okay, this first one here. Okay, and how to rewrite

00:46:13.820 --> 00:46:17.300
your energetic terms. That's the third one. Let's

00:46:17.300 --> 00:46:19.440
do the soul contract. Oh, this is all the same?

00:46:19.739 --> 00:46:21.940
No, this is all the different questions. We're

00:46:21.940 --> 00:46:28.039
only on the first one. But this is... Oh, I see

00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:29.840
what you did. Okay. This is the first time looking

00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:32.119
at these people. I'm sorry. Don't look at the

00:46:32.119 --> 00:46:33.639
next lot because we've got to be small changes.

00:46:33.659 --> 00:46:35.780
Okay, sole contracts on autopilot. Yes, so that's

00:46:35.780 --> 00:46:38.639
interesting. So sole contracts on autopilot.

00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:41.000
So we each come in, I believe, and this is part

00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:43.099
of what my belief system is, that we come in

00:46:43.099 --> 00:46:45.139
with a theme and we know what we're going to

00:46:45.139 --> 00:46:46.559
look like. We know what we're going to sound

00:46:46.559 --> 00:46:48.980
like. We know the themes that we want to work

00:46:48.980 --> 00:46:51.199
on. We know what our economic background is going

00:46:51.199 --> 00:46:54.619
to be and the major events in our life. So Robin

00:46:54.619 --> 00:46:56.920
is not an accident, nor is Tony, nor am I. children

00:46:56.920 --> 00:46:59.900
or your children so we come into this life with

00:46:59.900 --> 00:47:03.219
a blueprint and we also come into this life with

00:47:03.219 --> 00:47:05.719
a list of things we want to accomplish and that's

00:47:05.719 --> 00:47:09.179
what I think a soul contract is it's basically

00:47:09.179 --> 00:47:13.239
what we want to achieve in this lifetime and

00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:16.869
when you're not honoring your soul contract You'll

00:47:16.869 --> 00:47:19.949
feel bored. You'll feel stagnation because there's

00:47:19.949 --> 00:47:22.269
certain things that you need. You'll know you'll

00:47:22.269 --> 00:47:25.530
feel invigorated by life. And that's how you

00:47:25.530 --> 00:47:27.750
can determine whether you are honoring your soul

00:47:27.750 --> 00:47:30.710
contract. So that's what I take from that soul

00:47:30.710 --> 00:47:33.750
contracts on autopilot. You've got to work out

00:47:33.750 --> 00:47:36.190
what it is that you're supposed to be doing with

00:47:36.190 --> 00:47:37.949
your life. And the only way you can do that,

00:47:37.989 --> 00:47:40.650
as far as I can tell, is pray. You pray, you

00:47:40.650 --> 00:47:43.030
ask whatever the higher order of intelligences

00:47:43.030 --> 00:47:45.429
are, and then you wait for the answer and you

00:47:45.429 --> 00:47:51.980
will get one. So, when you read that sentence,

00:47:52.199 --> 00:47:55.699
it says... A deep dive into spiritual stagnation,

00:47:55.760 --> 00:47:58.280
soul contracts on autopilot. So that means that

00:47:58.280 --> 00:48:01.719
if you permit your soul contract to be on autopilot,

00:48:01.739 --> 00:48:05.619
you will stagnate. So, two interesting things.

00:48:05.800 --> 00:48:09.420
First of all, two things hit me. One is the word

00:48:09.420 --> 00:48:12.130
contract. The other one is autopilot. I call

00:48:12.130 --> 00:48:14.610
it life plan in my writing, but it's the same

00:48:14.610 --> 00:48:17.789
thing. Contract's a little off -putting, but

00:48:17.789 --> 00:48:19.789
it's a life plan. Yeah, I agree, because when

00:48:19.789 --> 00:48:24.090
I think of contract, I think an offer, basically

00:48:24.090 --> 00:48:26.730
you have an offer and acceptance, you have specific

00:48:26.730 --> 00:48:30.969
terms, and then you have consideration. I think

00:48:30.969 --> 00:48:33.090
all that does fit into a life plan, but it's

00:48:33.090 --> 00:48:35.690
a contract you have with yourself. Okay. I believe

00:48:35.690 --> 00:48:37.829
that. Yeah. Yeah. And then the other thing is

00:48:37.829 --> 00:48:40.110
autopilot. I can tell you that there's been more

00:48:40.110 --> 00:48:44.670
pilots jack themselves up because they relied

00:48:44.670 --> 00:48:47.949
on autopilot. So when you said autopilot, I was

00:48:47.949 --> 00:48:51.510
like, wow. And we were just talking about stagnating

00:48:51.510 --> 00:48:54.650
and flying. Yeah. Cause when you're like, obviously,

00:48:54.650 --> 00:48:56.789
you know, being an instructor pilot, both military

00:48:56.789 --> 00:49:02.489
and commercial or military and civilian. So many

00:49:02.489 --> 00:49:05.730
people get into trouble relying on the autopilot

00:49:05.730 --> 00:49:08.449
or not fully monitoring it. But we do that in

00:49:08.449 --> 00:49:10.829
life. I mean, you could go about your day. Yeah,

00:49:10.909 --> 00:49:13.110
I think that's the point. In life, I can be on

00:49:13.110 --> 00:49:15.269
autopilot where I'm lost in all thought forms.

00:49:15.429 --> 00:49:17.750
Now I can make some pasta. I can run a load of

00:49:17.750 --> 00:49:20.829
laundry. I can feed the dogs. I can drive, but

00:49:20.829 --> 00:49:24.050
I'm not engaged in presence, in the immediate

00:49:24.050 --> 00:49:26.550
awareness. I'm pulled into thought forms. So

00:49:26.550 --> 00:49:29.480
that to me is on autopilot. To be pulled into

00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:32.480
thought forms and not being present. And I have

00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:35.260
to say, I love, one thing that I really admire,

00:49:35.460 --> 00:49:37.340
I admire a lot of things about you, but one thing

00:49:37.340 --> 00:49:40.239
specifically is that you can do so many things,

00:49:40.300 --> 00:49:43.590
but you still keep your space. for seeing the

00:49:43.590 --> 00:49:45.349
squirrel or seeing the bird out the window or

00:49:45.349 --> 00:49:48.929
the cloud or the sunset. And Robin's the same

00:49:48.929 --> 00:49:50.849
way. She'll literally pull the car over and take

00:49:50.849 --> 00:49:54.150
a picture of a cow eating it. Yeah, I do that.

00:49:54.389 --> 00:49:57.030
That's so funny. And you get it with its tongue

00:49:57.030 --> 00:49:59.150
out and she's seen the light hit its back. She's

00:49:59.150 --> 00:50:02.650
like, I do that a lot. That's so funny. So that's

00:50:02.650 --> 00:50:04.469
really cool because that means that, yes, you

00:50:04.469 --> 00:50:08.949
do have things on autopilot like checking how

00:50:08.949 --> 00:50:11.010
fast you're going in a school zone. Those things

00:50:11.010 --> 00:50:14.980
are important. But you're still aware and you

00:50:14.980 --> 00:50:16.739
can still see the beautiful things around you.

00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:18.940
A lot of people I've met in my life are not noticing

00:50:18.940 --> 00:50:21.849
what's going on around them at all. yeah the

00:50:21.849 --> 00:50:24.789
last part of this okay so that's good and it

00:50:24.789 --> 00:50:28.829
says how to rewrite your energetic terms how

00:50:28.829 --> 00:50:32.070
to rewrite your energy i think rewriting your

00:50:32.070 --> 00:50:36.269
energetic terms means working out what's going

00:50:36.269 --> 00:50:38.889
in your head what are you thinking about if it's

00:50:38.889 --> 00:50:41.690
a low if it's the monkey mind turn it off bring

00:50:41.690 --> 00:50:44.860
yourself back to immediate awareness where you

00:50:44.860 --> 00:50:47.300
can see a cow and it's eating food in your take.

00:50:47.380 --> 00:50:49.900
Bring yourself back to awareness. And that would

00:50:49.900 --> 00:50:53.239
be an aspect of rewriting your energetic terms.

00:50:53.420 --> 00:50:55.900
You want to be functioning on a very pleasant,

00:50:56.039 --> 00:50:59.659
peaceful, harmonious thought life because that

00:50:59.659 --> 00:51:01.960
is what's going to attract the experiences back

00:51:01.960 --> 00:51:04.400
into your life. It will mirror that. In my book,

00:51:04.420 --> 00:51:06.880
I lay out this formula in the mirror world. So

00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:11.679
your energetic terms are the peace and harmony

00:51:11.679 --> 00:51:16.250
and... Being in the now moment rather than being

00:51:16.250 --> 00:51:20.489
lost in thought forms. And that would be recalibrating

00:51:20.489 --> 00:51:22.409
your energetic terms because thought is energy.

00:51:25.150 --> 00:51:29.489
That's good. The way I interpret that's a little

00:51:29.489 --> 00:51:33.309
bit different. Again, I see everything as being

00:51:33.309 --> 00:51:38.610
connected. I view this body of ours, this avatar,

00:51:38.989 --> 00:51:42.440
as being... Almost like, remember growing up,

00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:45.539
we had the AM FM radios and you could turn the

00:51:45.539 --> 00:51:47.460
dial and you could have different, you could

00:51:47.460 --> 00:51:50.539
receive different frequencies and things so you

00:51:50.539 --> 00:51:52.059
could listen to different stations by turning

00:51:52.059 --> 00:51:54.739
the dials. Well, that's receiving information.

00:51:55.760 --> 00:51:59.980
All the information is out there already. Like

00:51:59.980 --> 00:52:02.400
all of the channels, all of the rock and roll

00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:03.800
and country music and sports. Just call it in

00:52:03.800 --> 00:52:05.420
by tuning in. And what you're doing is you're

00:52:05.420 --> 00:52:07.719
tuning into it. So it's already there in the

00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:09.980
ether. In the quantum field. It's already there.

00:52:10.019 --> 00:52:12.920
It's in the ether. It's there in the multiverse.

00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:16.000
And all you're doing is dialing it in. But what

00:52:16.000 --> 00:52:19.159
the second part of that is, is getting it to

00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:21.340
resonate with you and then being able to send

00:52:21.340 --> 00:52:24.719
it back out. By being a creator. Sending it back,

00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:26.880
I was going to say, that comes in your visions

00:52:26.880 --> 00:52:28.820
and in creating what it is that you're creating.

00:52:28.880 --> 00:52:31.300
That is the sending it out. Yes, that's what

00:52:31.300 --> 00:52:33.699
I'm saying. So it's not just a one -way thing

00:52:33.699 --> 00:52:36.300
where the universe is acting upon us. Right.

00:52:37.019 --> 00:52:40.280
And I taught probably three people this week

00:52:40.280 --> 00:52:44.639
this. Two of them were yesterday at lunch. We

00:52:44.639 --> 00:52:47.440
are not subject to the universe. This is not

00:52:47.440 --> 00:52:51.029
something where I'm a victim or a victor. We're

00:52:51.029 --> 00:52:54.110
controlling it. We are. We are controlling it,

00:52:54.110 --> 00:52:56.469
whether we realize it or not. Well, I liken it

00:52:56.469 --> 00:53:01.769
to being a ship on the water. And I have a motor

00:53:01.769 --> 00:53:04.389
and I have a rudder. Or I have a sail. Or you

00:53:04.389 --> 00:53:06.090
could just bob around if you're not using any

00:53:06.090 --> 00:53:08.510
of them. I could just sit there and drop anchor

00:53:08.510 --> 00:53:10.789
and just bob around. Or I could say, you know

00:53:10.789 --> 00:53:13.849
what? That looks like a cool island. I'm going

00:53:13.849 --> 00:53:16.769
there. But you're only going to get to that cool

00:53:16.769 --> 00:53:19.630
island if you, A, you've got to take care of

00:53:19.630 --> 00:53:20.869
your temple and we're not going to be able to

00:53:20.869 --> 00:53:22.530
have time to get to that today, but we have to

00:53:22.530 --> 00:53:24.989
talk about that. So to have, so she's talking

00:53:24.989 --> 00:53:27.389
about energy and rewrite your energetic terms,

00:53:27.570 --> 00:53:29.849
taking care of your temples, definitely what

00:53:29.849 --> 00:53:32.409
you need to do, calibrating correct thinking

00:53:32.409 --> 00:53:35.250
and then having the desert island, having the

00:53:35.250 --> 00:53:37.730
vision, those three. Those all come together.

00:53:37.750 --> 00:53:39.849
Yeah. So I think that if you do those things,

00:53:39.929 --> 00:53:42.469
you're not going to be bored because I've. No.

00:53:43.070 --> 00:53:44.690
I think that's the unadulterable. And this is

00:53:44.690 --> 00:53:46.909
one of the things that I love hanging around.

00:53:47.010 --> 00:53:48.949
I have a group of entrepreneurs. In fact, Saturday

00:53:48.949 --> 00:53:52.150
I'll have 30 or 40 people in my house, all of

00:53:52.150 --> 00:53:55.230
them entrepreneurs. We talk about stuff. And

00:53:55.230 --> 00:53:58.750
what I like about entrepreneurs is that we look

00:53:58.750 --> 00:54:02.489
at a problem and we bring forth a solution and

00:54:02.489 --> 00:54:04.730
then we profit from it. Yeah. I mean, that's

00:54:04.730 --> 00:54:07.550
basically it. Is it okay to profit if you're

00:54:07.550 --> 00:54:10.030
solving a problem? Of course it is. You must

00:54:10.030 --> 00:54:11.909
profit because otherwise, where's the incentive

00:54:11.909 --> 00:54:14.269
to solve the problem? Well, yes. And having money

00:54:14.269 --> 00:54:16.610
and paying your bills is an important part of

00:54:16.610 --> 00:54:18.590
your life because with that, you can grow even

00:54:18.590 --> 00:54:21.489
more, have even bigger dopamine rushes. But it's

00:54:21.489 --> 00:54:23.550
exciting because it's like... It's a problem

00:54:23.550 --> 00:54:25.889
-solving aspect and you can financially benefit.

00:54:26.050 --> 00:54:28.289
You're a creator and we're actually making this

00:54:28.289 --> 00:54:30.130
world a better place. There you go. Just like

00:54:30.130 --> 00:54:32.530
you're talking to your computer. I'm looking

00:54:32.530 --> 00:54:36.179
at my... I'm recording. On a wireless, from an

00:54:36.179 --> 00:54:41.659
iPad to a USB stick. And all of this was somebody's

00:54:41.659 --> 00:54:44.239
idea. That's right. Like years and years ago,

00:54:44.300 --> 00:54:47.280
somebody's idea. So should they benefit from

00:54:47.280 --> 00:54:49.559
this? Yes. They're making my life easier. Absolutely.

00:54:49.800 --> 00:54:53.139
Yeah, I love it. Win, win, win. So if somebody's

00:54:53.139 --> 00:54:56.340
got to wrap us up, if somebody's got to, they're

00:54:56.340 --> 00:54:58.519
bored out of their gourd, they feel like they're

00:54:58.519 --> 00:55:03.119
stagnant and their soul is just not happy. I

00:55:03.119 --> 00:55:06.980
think, you know, This will appeal to your sensibilities.

00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:09.260
Really look about what you're doing to your body.

00:55:09.340 --> 00:55:11.840
What are you eating? What are you drinking? Are

00:55:11.840 --> 00:55:14.380
you exercising? Are you sleeping? Are you meditating?

00:55:14.599 --> 00:55:17.340
Are you praying? Are you doing all the things

00:55:17.340 --> 00:55:19.440
that you need? Because I think that you'll be

00:55:19.440 --> 00:55:21.360
bored because I don't think your brain will function

00:55:21.360 --> 00:55:24.980
in the same way if you're not giving it enough

00:55:24.980 --> 00:55:27.559
vitamins, minerals and everything else that you

00:55:27.559 --> 00:55:30.380
need. So check what your body's doing. Check

00:55:30.380 --> 00:55:33.829
what your mind's doing and have a vision. That

00:55:33.829 --> 00:55:36.449
vision is just cemented with faith. That's there

00:55:36.449 --> 00:55:39.429
in the quantum field. And then just make sure

00:55:39.429 --> 00:55:41.670
that you're in awareness and you're present.

00:55:41.769 --> 00:55:43.849
And if you feel yourself getting caught up in

00:55:43.849 --> 00:55:46.349
thought forms that you know are just monkey mind

00:55:46.349 --> 00:55:49.030
bullshit, you can just stop them and you refocus

00:55:49.030 --> 00:55:51.010
your attention. And you might have to do that

00:55:51.010 --> 00:55:53.449
all day long. And if you haven't slept well or

00:55:53.449 --> 00:55:55.110
you haven't eaten well, it is going to be harder

00:55:55.110 --> 00:55:57.590
to think properly. But you want to think properly

00:55:57.590 --> 00:55:59.650
or not at all in order to manifest what you.

00:55:59.949 --> 00:56:01.869
to get what you came for, basically. Yeah, I

00:56:01.869 --> 00:56:03.730
like that. That was really, really well said.

00:56:03.829 --> 00:56:06.750
And thanks for throwing it my way because when

00:56:06.750 --> 00:56:09.389
people come into my world and they're suffering

00:56:09.389 --> 00:56:12.929
with sadness, anger, depression, it's almost

00:56:12.929 --> 00:56:15.429
always I ask them, well, if you could change

00:56:15.429 --> 00:56:17.530
something, what would you change? Or have you

00:56:17.530 --> 00:56:19.730
thought about changing something? Because almost

00:56:19.730 --> 00:56:22.369
always, as soon as I talk about changing something

00:56:22.369 --> 00:56:26.050
or asking them to do something to make their

00:56:26.050 --> 00:56:29.250
situation different, they lighten up. I also...

00:56:29.530 --> 00:56:31.289
I appreciate you saying about the fresh air and

00:56:31.289 --> 00:56:34.909
sunshine. One of the things I ask people is when

00:56:34.909 --> 00:56:38.989
they're in that funky spot is, you know, when's

00:56:38.989 --> 00:56:42.670
the last, when you look back at your life and

00:56:42.670 --> 00:56:47.449
you had, what was the happiest you were? What

00:56:47.449 --> 00:56:49.630
were you doing when you were, for you? Well,

00:56:49.630 --> 00:56:52.170
we said it earlier, whatever it was, it was a

00:56:52.170 --> 00:56:54.739
novelty. Yeah, whatever you were doing that brought

00:56:54.739 --> 00:56:57.579
you joy. Maybe you were working on engines. Maybe

00:56:57.579 --> 00:56:58.639
you were playing keyboard. And that would be

00:56:58.639 --> 00:57:00.900
in your life plan. If you really enjoy it, like

00:57:00.900 --> 00:57:02.699
you were talking about your son, Jonathan, is

00:57:02.699 --> 00:57:05.739
it? John. It's John. So if it's in your life

00:57:05.739 --> 00:57:07.599
plan, you need to get to your life plan because

00:57:07.599 --> 00:57:09.880
we all have one. And if you're running around

00:57:09.880 --> 00:57:11.800
and you're not deeply connected to what you believe

00:57:11.800 --> 00:57:14.440
you should be doing, you'll be stagnating for

00:57:14.440 --> 00:57:16.940
sure. But the only way you can access your life

00:57:16.940 --> 00:57:20.239
plan is by asking. The Bible says, ask and thou

00:57:20.239 --> 00:57:22.119
shall receive. You have not because you ask not.

00:57:22.380 --> 00:57:24.440
I'm not a huge fan of that book, but I like certain

00:57:24.440 --> 00:57:26.579
edicts in it. And those two are very important.

00:57:26.980 --> 00:57:30.079
So pray. First thing I'd recommend to anyone,

00:57:30.179 --> 00:57:32.519
if you're not liking how your life looks, for

00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:35.639
whatever reason, you're stagnating, pray. Ask

00:57:35.639 --> 00:57:37.679
for the answer. Ask. And it will just upload.

00:57:37.920 --> 00:57:40.000
You'll get uploads all day long. Revelations,

00:57:40.000 --> 00:57:42.400
they call it, right? In your head. Love it. So

00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:44.500
before we go, let me ask you, do you want to...

00:57:44.889 --> 00:57:47.269
randomly pick a number like there's how many

00:57:47.269 --> 00:57:48.949
of those things are left well we've got through

00:57:48.949 --> 00:57:50.989
the first one and we have eight left so we're

00:57:50.989 --> 00:57:53.630
gonna have to keep those for next time so we

00:57:53.630 --> 00:57:55.530
thought we might get through nine in five minutes

00:57:55.530 --> 00:57:57.650
we got through one in an hour well i'm gonna

00:57:57.650 --> 00:58:00.550
well let's just so there's eight left eight left

00:58:00.550 --> 00:58:04.289
okay so hold on one second all right rosie randomly

00:58:04.289 --> 00:58:08.050
pick a number between one i'm sorry between two

00:58:08.050 --> 00:58:15.000
and eight all right let's see The random number

00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:18.079
between two and eight is... How did you know

00:58:18.079 --> 00:58:21.699
six? It's fucking that good. Do you and Rosie

00:58:21.699 --> 00:58:23.639
have a thing going? Yeah, we're having an affair.

00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:27.920
Okay, so what's number six? I thought you said

00:58:27.920 --> 00:58:29.639
at the beginning we were going to do this so

00:58:29.639 --> 00:58:32.300
it's spontaneous because now if we read it, we're

00:58:32.300 --> 00:58:33.940
going to know in the next podcast. We've got

00:58:33.940 --> 00:58:37.940
to do this live. Oh, so I... Which one are you

00:58:37.940 --> 00:58:40.230
going to pick? I thought we just... Since we

00:58:40.230 --> 00:58:42.869
knew the week in advance what the next ones would

00:58:42.869 --> 00:58:44.710
be. No, I think that we should just... So you

00:58:44.710 --> 00:58:45.789
don't even want to look at number six? Well,

00:58:45.789 --> 00:58:47.309
number six is what we'll do on the next podcast.

00:58:47.309 --> 00:58:48.690
Well, I didn't even need to do that. No, but

00:58:48.690 --> 00:58:50.630
we do know now. Okay, so it'll be six. Number

00:58:50.630 --> 00:58:53.750
six. All right. There it is. I'm not going to

00:58:53.750 --> 00:58:56.659
look though. Cool. Well, I know you're on the

00:58:56.659 --> 00:58:58.079
way to a meeting. I hope it's a fun one. No,

00:58:58.079 --> 00:58:59.860
I'm on the way to get my hair highlighted because

00:58:59.860 --> 00:59:01.739
I'm leaving town tomorrow. I have this big function

00:59:01.739 --> 00:59:05.440
in Fort Lauderdale. What's there? It's my brother

00:59:05.440 --> 00:59:08.300
-in -law's 75th birthday. Oh, wow. And it's at

00:59:08.300 --> 00:59:11.019
this really swanky hotel and I got black roots

00:59:11.019 --> 00:59:14.420
and I could only get a noon appointment. So that's

00:59:14.420 --> 00:59:17.260
