WEBVTT

1
00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:07.520
Speaker 1: Hi, this is part four of the
miniseries, "The Gift of Everything." This one
is much

2
00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:13.260
Speaker 1: more strategic and tactical. It is
everything I know about

3
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:19.220
Speaker 1: getting to a point of transcendence,
to the milestone that I've mentioned in

4
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:25.660
Speaker 1: previous episodes, which is you have
the fundamental realization that you are

5
00:00:25.780 --> 00:00:31.620
Speaker 1: actually your entire reality. And we
are... So

6
00:00:31.780 --> 00:00:37.720
Speaker 1: full disclosure, everything I'm
suggesting that one could try is based on a

7
00:00:37.780 --> 00:00:43.500
Speaker 1: sample size of one. Right? So I mean,
I did it. [chuckles] So, uh, it would be great

8
00:00:43.540 --> 00:00:47.680
Speaker 1: to have a larger sample size, but
this is what we got, you know. Uh, so to getting

9
00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:52.520
Speaker 1: to that level of insight and
realization in a direct way, and all the
experiences

10
00:00:52.580 --> 00:00:53.920
Speaker 1: that seem to come after it,

11
00:00:55.820 --> 00:01:00.860
Speaker 1: I'm going to relay everything I know
about what worked, what didn't work, how it

12
00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:04.860
Speaker 1: felt, [chuckles] what you should
consider trying, what was the most important. So

13
00:01:04.940 --> 00:01:08.940
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of, uh, random
one-off tips, but I'm also gonna be presenting
my

14
00:01:09.020 --> 00:01:13.840
Speaker 1: theories on how it works and what
definitely doesn't work,

15
00:01:14.680 --> 00:01:16.760
Speaker 1: um, what slowed me down, that sort of
thing.

16
00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:22.920
Speaker 1: Again, none of this is direct advice.
Some of it could be wrong. If it feels wrong

17
00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:28.880
Speaker 1: for you, don't do it. In general, um,
this whole series comes with

18
00:01:28.940 --> 00:01:31.080
Speaker 1: this disclosure, but this one
definitely does.

19
00:01:32.740 --> 00:01:37.780
Speaker 1: If you are not in a stable place in
your life, you are not mentally or emotionally

20
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:42.360
Speaker 1: well, if you, uh, pardon my French,
can't handle your shit,

21
00:01:43.460 --> 00:01:48.740
Speaker 1: then you should not yet embark on
[chuckles] this journey. Uh, you should

22
00:01:49.360 --> 00:01:54.860
Speaker 1: get to a place of stability in your
life, where if something bad were to happen to

23
00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:58.520
Speaker 1: you tomorrow, if you got really bad
news, um, you would still be able to function.

24
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.280
Speaker 1: You could still go to work, you could
still take care of yourself and your children.

25
00:02:01.900 --> 00:02:06.640
Speaker 1: You could handle something traumatic
happening to you, and that's not an easy thing

26
00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:10.780
Speaker 1: to say to somebody. But when you're
looking...

27
00:02:10.900 --> 00:02:16.880
Speaker 1: [chuckles] Uh, as they say, if you
peer into the void, uh, the void will peer back.

28
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:22.420
Speaker 1: So this is not for the faint of
heart. Uh, but if you want answers to big
questions,

29
00:02:22.460 --> 00:02:28.460
Speaker 1: and you wanna see beyond the
material, uh, in a very literal way, then

30
00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:32.700
Speaker 1: [chuckles] this is what it takes. Um,
so

31
00:02:32.740 --> 00:02:36.740
Speaker 1: [laughs] I'm gonna bother editing.

32
00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:48.560
Speaker 1: [laughs] Ah. I said I would do a
mindsight demonstration. Not that anyone was
ever

33
00:02:48.620 --> 00:02:53.580
Speaker 1: testing me. It's probably common
knowledge at this point. Here's some cards.
They're

34
00:02:53.620 --> 00:02:58.580
Speaker 1: random. Take my word for it or don't.
[laughs] That part doesn't matter for me. Uh,

35
00:02:58.700 --> 00:03:03.840
Speaker 1: but just as evidence, if you should
choose to believe it, here's some random cards.

36
00:03:04.160 --> 00:03:09.000
Speaker 1: They look like this. My eyes are now
closed. This can be done with blindfolds. I

37
00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:12.860
Speaker 1: feel like you just need to see that
I'm not full of BS, so we're gonna pause real

38
00:03:12.920 --> 00:03:18.780
Speaker 1: quick [laughs] and say that weird
stuff's gonna happen to you, um,

39
00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:23.580
Speaker 1: as you, as you do this. So I can
already see. You can't tell that I can see, but
I

40
00:03:23.660 --> 00:03:28.400
Speaker 1: can. Uh, I can see as if I'm roughly
looking through my eyes, even though they are

41
00:03:28.460 --> 00:03:33.900
Speaker 1: closed. You're gonna be able to do
and experience things that are going to shock
you

42
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:40.380
Speaker 1: and open, pry open your... what you
thought was possible in a direct way that is

43
00:03:40.460 --> 00:03:44.900
Speaker 1: definitely happening to you and you
did not expect. Now, almost all of it will be

44
00:03:44.980 --> 00:03:50.680
Speaker 1: good, but not all of it, and you're
gonna have to learn to deal with these things.

45
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:56.080
Speaker 1: There are principles along the way
that can help, uh, keep you safe and secure, but

46
00:03:56.120 --> 00:04:01.860
Speaker 1: in general, don't forget it's your
reality. Uh, but if you are not

47
00:04:01.920 --> 00:04:06.660
Speaker 1: ready for what's happening, do not
embark on this trip, because you're going to get

48
00:04:06.700 --> 00:04:10.920
Speaker 1: what you ask for. Be careful what you
ask for. You're going to get what you ask for.

49
00:04:11.160 --> 00:04:14.480
Speaker 1: All right, so this is a shape. I
don't know what shape it is yet, 'cause I can't
see

50
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:19.660
Speaker 1: it yet. Oh, it's a plus sign. I don't
know which one this is yet, 'cause I can't see

51
00:04:19.700 --> 00:04:22.700
Speaker 1: the other side. Oh, it's also a plus
sign. [laughs] What, are they all plus signs?

52
00:04:23.520 --> 00:04:24.800
Speaker 1: No, that's a circle.

53
00:04:27.140 --> 00:04:28.460
Speaker 1: So these are random. That's a star.

54
00:04:30.720 --> 00:04:36.560
Speaker 1: Those are some X's. I forgot that was
in the deck. Whatever that is. Wavy

55
00:04:36.600 --> 00:04:37.320
Speaker 1: lines, they're red.

56
00:04:39.440 --> 00:04:40.360
Speaker 1: That's a red plus sign.

57
00:04:41.960 --> 00:04:46.700
Speaker 1: I didn't show you. I think that's,
yep, wavy lines. They look blue. And a green
plus

58
00:04:46.740 --> 00:04:51.660
Speaker 1: sign. So once you can do stuff like
that, you're like, "Okay, cool.

59
00:04:53.700 --> 00:04:58.000
Speaker 1: I guess the people I'm talking to in
my dreams, the interesting experiences that I'm

60
00:04:58.080 --> 00:05:03.800
Speaker 1: having, uh, in meditation or
otherwise are real." So the full

61
00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:09.720
Speaker 1: disclosure before we begin is, if you
don't want things you didn't

62
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:15.100
Speaker 1: really think were possible to happen
to you, do not follow these instructions until

63
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:21.120
Speaker 1: you are ready to. So if you don't
feel ready, you can't handle it, [laughs]

64
00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:27.120
Speaker 1: don't do it. That doesn't mean that
it will go wrong, uh, but, you know,

65
00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:34.820
Speaker 1: you gotta be able to handle massive
change, right? Uh, seeing a UFO sounds fun

66
00:05:35.260 --> 00:05:38.900
Speaker 1: until you're right there and it's in
front of you and you're like, "Hmm,

67
00:05:40.460 --> 00:05:45.340
Speaker 1: this is real. I don't know what that
is." And then depending on how you feel,

68
00:05:45.660 --> 00:05:49.620
Speaker 1: depending on your worldview, your
religious views, your personal beliefs, it could

69
00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:54.520
Speaker 1: be very unsettling. Uh, so just keep
that in mind. You have to be able to process

70
00:05:55.140 --> 00:05:59.480
Speaker 1: your trauma, because it's going to
happen. And so we're gonna talk about this whole

71
00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:03.440
Speaker 1: process of what it takes. Um, what do
you do when you're scared or when something

72
00:06:03.580 --> 00:06:04.320
Speaker 1: bad is happening?

73
00:06:06.100 --> 00:06:10.860
Speaker 1: How do you make sense of things? How
do you advance? Is there a progression system?

74
00:06:10.940 --> 00:06:15.260
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm gonna answer the rhetorical
question. It is. There is. [chuckles] How does

75
00:06:15.300 --> 00:06:20.420
Speaker 1: it seem to work? What are the
principles? How do you get to that point? What
works?

76
00:06:20.460 --> 00:06:26.100
Speaker 1: And so I'll just walk through the
whole process. So I guess start to finish, I

77
00:06:26.140 --> 00:06:28.700
Speaker 1: don't, you know, where does something
start and something finish? It's my whole

78
00:06:28.740 --> 00:06:34.680
Speaker 1: life, so... But I didn't embark on
this quest seriously un-until I'd had

79
00:06:34.740 --> 00:06:38.760
Speaker 1: that first UFO experience, as I
mentioned in earlier episodes, because it sort
of

80
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:43.820
Speaker 1: shook my worldview. I needed to know.
So there's a few fundamental principles that

81
00:06:43.860 --> 00:06:49.400
Speaker 1: are absolutely required for you to
move along some path of transcendence or

82
00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:54.780
Speaker 1: enlightenment or whatever you're in
this for, uh, increased awareness, the ability

83
00:06:54.820 --> 00:06:59.760
Speaker 1: to communicate with the other side,
to know who you are, answer big questions, uh,

84
00:07:00.260 --> 00:07:06.160
Speaker 1: to understand deep truths about the
world in a first-hand, direct way. If you're

85
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.540
Speaker 1: after all that stuff, you wanna know
what it's all about, and you don't wanna ask

86
00:07:09.580 --> 00:07:15.100
Speaker 1: anyone else's permission, you just
wanna find out. This is compatible with any

87
00:07:15.180 --> 00:07:20.020
Speaker 1: reasonable, uh, religion. It's
compatible with any spiritual views. It's just a
set

88
00:07:20.060 --> 00:07:25.240
Speaker 1: of steps to do. It is up to you, and
always up to you, to decide what it all means.

89
00:07:25.820 --> 00:07:29.520
Speaker 1: Uh, I will not tell you what it
means. I will tell you my beliefs and how I came
to

90
00:07:29.540 --> 00:07:35.160
Speaker 1: them, but ultimately, it is your
responsibility to decide what all this

91
00:07:35.220 --> 00:07:40.980
Speaker 1: means and how it works and what the,
what matters. Never give that up, uh,

92
00:07:41.280 --> 00:07:45.580
Speaker 1: for anybody. Yeah, that's your
responsibility. You have another responsibility,
in

93
00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:51.520
Speaker 1: my opinion, which is to be authentic
to yourself. What you want is what you want. If

94
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.680
Speaker 1: it feels true or it feels right and
isn't just

95
00:07:56.240 --> 00:08:00.740
Speaker 1: a poorly chosen value or an
insecurity, but like, "No, this is who I am. I'm
not

96
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:05.660
Speaker 1: doing that. I don't like this. I
don't feel like I need to," then don't.
[chuckles]

97
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:09.880
Speaker 1: No one's, no one can make you. Refer
to earlier lessons. Don't forget. It's your

98
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:14.320
Speaker 1: reality. Don't let anyone push you
around. I mean, don't be a jerk. [chuckles] Be

99
00:08:14.380 --> 00:08:19.240
Speaker 1: careful. But in general, uh, it's not
bad, but don't forget you have control. All

100
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:23.100
Speaker 1: right. So what's the actual process?
So over these few years, what is this, three,

101
00:08:23.200 --> 00:08:23.620
Speaker 1: four years?

102
00:08:26.300 --> 00:08:30.300
Speaker 1: I started meditating. I did all kinds
of different meditations. Meditation is great

103
00:08:30.340 --> 00:08:34.540
Speaker 1: because it stills your mind, and it
trains the skill of discernment. That is the

104
00:08:34.600 --> 00:08:40.580
Speaker 1: ability to notice the difference
between things in your awareness. That seems
like

105
00:08:40.620 --> 00:08:46.460
Speaker 1: a silly skill, but it is a master
skill, especially when you need to start

106
00:08:46.520 --> 00:08:50.620
Speaker 1: determining, okay, what is real? How
do I know what is real? What does it mean for

107
00:08:50.660 --> 00:08:55.520
Speaker 1: something to be real? How do I know
whether that was my thought? How do I know

108
00:08:55.560 --> 00:09:00.640
Speaker 1: whether I just thought I saw
something or I imagined it? It is a way of

109
00:09:01.420 --> 00:09:05.000
Speaker 1: noticing differences between things
and noticing in finer, finer detail.

110
00:09:07.280 --> 00:09:11.360
Speaker 1: Cool. Uh, so that's helpful, but it
also teaches you how to still your mind, how to

111
00:09:11.400 --> 00:09:16.260
Speaker 1: be okay in almost any situation. So I
recommend the book "The Untethered Soul." Just

112
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:21.140
Speaker 1: start with that book. Uh, it's... Or
the audiobook version. Absolutely incredible.

113
00:09:21.780 --> 00:09:26.460
Speaker 1: It will teach you everything you need
to know about how to be okay and how to be

114
00:09:26.500 --> 00:09:31.920
Speaker 1: content and how to train your body,
most of your mind, and your,

115
00:09:32.560 --> 00:09:37.100
Speaker 1: I guess, emotions, in a sense, to be
able to control your own mind and your own

116
00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:43.520
Speaker 1: mental state. You're gonna need that.
It also allows you to still your mind, um, and

117
00:09:43.560 --> 00:09:49.440
Speaker 1: to be okay in confusing situations.
You're gonna need that. Uh, so in general, some

118
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:54.800
Speaker 1: level of grit is necessary. The
ability to handle change is going to be
critical.

119
00:09:54.980 --> 00:10:00.520
Speaker 1: You have to be somewhat open-minded.
You have to be able to entertain stupid ideas

120
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:04.720
Speaker 1: long enough to find out if they are
true. Um, you're allowed to have problems.

121
00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:10.260
Speaker 1: That's totally fine. But the basic
premise here, and my model for how this works,
at

122
00:10:10.300 --> 00:10:13.600
Speaker 1: least getting to the point where I've
gotten to, I'm not qualified to say anything

123
00:10:13.640 --> 00:10:19.200
Speaker 1: beyond that 'cause that's where I'm
at, is that Maslow's hierarchy, so your basic

124
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:23.620
Speaker 1: needs moving up to
self-actualization, isn't just a pyramid that
ends at the top.

125
00:10:24.140 --> 00:10:29.880
Speaker 1: Turns out self-actualization keeps
going. It's just that the farther you go, the

126
00:10:29.940 --> 00:10:34.880
Speaker 1: more self there is to actualize. Your
sense of self grows. Your whole behavior and

127
00:10:34.920 --> 00:10:40.580
Speaker 1: worldview changes. It doesn't stop.
Uh, so there is more beyond self-actualization.

128
00:10:41.420 --> 00:10:46.180
Speaker 1: Uh, it just stops being about only
you and becomes more about connectivity to
things

129
00:10:46.220 --> 00:10:50.240
Speaker 1: that you did not necessarily know
that existed or even more sensitivity within

130
00:10:50.280 --> 00:10:50.680
Speaker 1: yourself.

131
00:10:52.900 --> 00:10:57.760
Speaker 1: So here is the rough premise for the
things that I think are the most important.

132
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:02.380
Speaker 1: These are basic practices that you
can begin doing. The first is meditation, and

133
00:11:02.420 --> 00:11:07.640
Speaker 1: that is prob- Okay, the very first is
seeking. That is you just, you wanna know.

134
00:11:08.680 --> 00:11:12.320
Speaker 1: You set an intention. You want to
know answers to big questions like, "Who am I?
Who

135
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.440
Speaker 1: am I really? How does this place
actually work? Where did I come from?" Whatever

136
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:21.060
Speaker 1: your big questions are. You wanna
know your deity of choice. You know, "Why did
you

137
00:11:21.100 --> 00:11:25.080
Speaker 1: make me? Why are things like this?"
Whatever. Yeah, I, I wanna know how it all

138
00:11:25.140 --> 00:11:30.700
Speaker 1: works. I want the big answers. I
wanna connect beyond myself. Whatever your

139
00:11:30.760 --> 00:11:35.280
Speaker 1: motivating factor is, you have to
want it, and you gotta want it in a way that you

140
00:11:35.300 --> 00:11:40.360
Speaker 1: will not be easily dissuaded. I mean
discouraged, not like intimidated, but more

141
00:11:40.400 --> 00:11:46.400
Speaker 1: like you need to be able to get no
results for weeks on end or months, or

142
00:11:46.460 --> 00:11:51.980
Speaker 1: a few results and be frustrated and
still want it. You have to have a pursuit of

143
00:11:52.040 --> 00:11:56.180
Speaker 1: what I guess most people would call
spiritual development. You wanna know. You wanna

144
00:11:56.220 --> 00:12:01.700
Speaker 1: feel content. You want to understand
it all. And if, so if you lose that or it

145
00:12:01.760 --> 00:12:05.840
Speaker 1: wanes, it is a necessary
precondition. If you don't want it, you're not
gonna get

146
00:12:05.860 --> 00:12:10.840
Speaker 1: it. Um, so don't ever lose track of
that 'cause that is a necessary precondition and

147
00:12:10.880 --> 00:12:14.360
Speaker 1: probably the most important, is that
you actually want it, and you can sustain that

148
00:12:14.380 --> 00:12:15.800
Speaker 1: desire, and it's important to you.

149
00:12:17.872 --> 00:12:22.552
Speaker 1: The second is meditation. So this is
more of a doing practice. Uh, all kinds of

150
00:12:22.592 --> 00:12:27.092
Speaker 1: meditation are useful in different
ways, but you are after inner exploration. If I

151
00:12:27.132 --> 00:12:28.452
Speaker 1: could offer some suggestions,

152
00:12:30.252 --> 00:12:36.212
Speaker 1: um, don't worry about it. [chuckles]
It's the-- Don't-- I didn't get hung

153
00:12:36.272 --> 00:12:40.572
Speaker 1: up on dogma. I didn't study under
anybody. I didn't look up a bunch of stuff. I
read

154
00:12:40.612 --> 00:12:43.632
Speaker 1: the Yoga Sutras at some point, and
I'm like, "Oh, this is pretty great. What else
do

155
00:12:43.692 --> 00:12:48.112
Speaker 1: I need to know?" So go read that.
There's some excellent, uh, translations with

156
00:12:48.172 --> 00:12:54.112
Speaker 1: commentary. Uh, perfect. Go do that.
But the gist is you have in

157
00:12:54.152 --> 00:12:59.312
Speaker 1: meditation strategy, so that is you
have a specific target. What are you putting

158
00:12:59.352 --> 00:13:04.672
Speaker 1: your attention on? All a meditation
is, is a deliberate time to practice putting

159
00:13:04.712 --> 00:13:09.892
Speaker 1: your attention on something. You're
moving around your conscious awareness, right?

160
00:13:09.952 --> 00:13:14.212
Speaker 1: So you're kinda just doing reps with
a barbell, right? That's what this is. This is

161
00:13:14.332 --> 00:13:18.392
Speaker 1: a general thing, and you're gonna
need that because it, it's used throughout

162
00:13:18.452 --> 00:13:23.352
Speaker 1: everything. Um, so you're g- you need
to do it every day. I recommend at least 30

163
00:13:23.392 --> 00:13:28.072
Speaker 1: minutes. Uh, it sounds like a long
session, and the more intently you do it, the s-

164
00:13:28.172 --> 00:13:32.672
Speaker 1: the more seriousness you do it with
an intention. Generally speaking, if you're just

165
00:13:32.692 --> 00:13:36.792
Speaker 1: starting out or you've been doing
meditation just to feel better, your goal is to

166
00:13:36.852 --> 00:13:40.252
Speaker 1: think of nothing, do nothing, and
don't worry about thoughts or emotions or
anything

167
00:13:40.272 --> 00:13:45.572
Speaker 1: that comes up. Just, like, let them
slide off of you, and just try to have a wide

168
00:13:45.652 --> 00:13:50.272
Speaker 1: open, you know, mildly happy, like, a
gaze of attention. You don't really need to

169
00:13:50.312 --> 00:13:53.572
Speaker 1: focus on anything at all. That's
kinda the goal is to let it continually slip off

170
00:13:53.632 --> 00:13:59.472
Speaker 1: everything until, as you go through
the protocol, you begin to, if you can

171
00:13:59.512 --> 00:14:03.612
Speaker 1: keep going, you'll eventually get to
ego dissolution, and your whole sense of self

172
00:14:03.672 --> 00:14:07.772
Speaker 1: dissolves. That takes a long time,
uh, to get to that level of practice for most

173
00:14:07.812 --> 00:14:12.672
Speaker 1: people. Again, if you have a history
of all sorts of [chuckles] mental disorders and

174
00:14:12.692 --> 00:14:18.612
Speaker 1: you're not in a stable place, don't
do this stuff. Like, it's, you have a pretty

175
00:14:18.652 --> 00:14:23.412
Speaker 1: messed up Jenga tower, like
[chuckles] don't, don't go shaking it. Uh, you
need to

176
00:14:23.872 --> 00:14:28.232
Speaker 1: get yourself to a healthy place if
you can first. That's a great kind of
meditation.

177
00:14:28.992 --> 00:14:34.592
Speaker 1: Any kind of non-dual meditation is
excellent. Uh, I really liked, um, Sam Harris'

178
00:14:34.772 --> 00:14:39.712
Speaker 1: Waking Up app, uh, and the courses
there are also good. I recommend those as well.

179
00:14:40.032 --> 00:14:43.572
Speaker 1: They're very tactical, um, uh,
because you can go through them. And they'll
teach

180
00:14:43.632 --> 00:14:47.132
Speaker 1: you, oh, where do my thoughts come
from? Oh, wow, I did not make these thoughts

181
00:14:47.172 --> 00:14:51.132
Speaker 1: happen. I don't know where thoughts
come from. How do I know this is my hand? Where

182
00:14:51.172 --> 00:14:55.392
Speaker 1: is the, how, where is the line
between myself and the world? All these sorts of

183
00:14:55.432 --> 00:15:00.212
Speaker 1: things are great one-on-one
practices. But in general, the kind of
meditation that I

184
00:15:00.272 --> 00:15:05.192
Speaker 1: do is sort of contemplative. It's
like I pick a target focus. Usually, it is

185
00:15:05.252 --> 00:15:11.212
Speaker 1: nothing. It is the goal to, like,
unwind the self. You just relax and release, and

186
00:15:11.252 --> 00:15:15.832
Speaker 1: you try to clear your mind. You're
trying to let go. You just let go over and over

187
00:15:15.872 --> 00:15:21.292
Speaker 1: again. Let go until you're just a
sort of warm, heavy soup with your attention's
not

188
00:15:21.312 --> 00:15:25.812
Speaker 1: really on anything. The thoughts stop
coming. It's pretty still. It takes a while to

189
00:15:25.852 --> 00:15:30.272
Speaker 1: get there, a lot of practice, and
sometimes a lot of time per session. You wanna
get

190
00:15:30.312 --> 00:15:34.712
Speaker 1: to that point. The premise is, is
that you are, especially if you set the
intention

191
00:15:34.752 --> 00:15:39.432
Speaker 1: because you're seeking, I want these
things, I want these things, you are connecting

192
00:15:39.492 --> 00:15:44.392
Speaker 1: to some higher self. You're
connecting and presumably to your own soul,
to... You're

193
00:15:44.432 --> 00:15:48.152
Speaker 1: reducing the noise level. The premise
is that you're reducing the noise level, and

194
00:15:48.192 --> 00:15:52.512
Speaker 1: you're forming some connection,
spiritually speaking. I don't know how it works.

195
00:15:52.572 --> 00:15:58.492
Speaker 1: Don't ask me. [chuckles] But I know
it does. Uh, to, to your deity of choice, the

196
00:15:58.552 --> 00:16:02.412
Speaker 1: other side, however you wanna frame
it, it doesn't matter. You're forming a

197
00:16:02.452 --> 00:16:06.292
Speaker 1: connection because it's quiet, and
it's still, and you've set that intention. So
now

198
00:16:07.012 --> 00:16:09.732
Speaker 1: there's, like, a channel opening up.
You can think of this as running a channel

199
00:16:09.772 --> 00:16:14.112
Speaker 1: between you and whatever you're
trying to connect to, some great beyond or a
sense

200
00:16:14.152 --> 00:16:16.312
Speaker 1: of inner knowledge or intuition.

201
00:16:17.872 --> 00:16:21.912
Speaker 1: That's what you're doing. So these
are your basic reps. You wanna do that. Now,
some

202
00:16:21.972 --> 00:16:24.652
Speaker 1: other basic practices that you're
going to do are

203
00:16:26.392 --> 00:16:31.492
Speaker 1: beginning from there during the day,
you wanna pay attention to your own state.

204
00:16:32.872 --> 00:16:36.751
Speaker 1: Uh, we're gonna get into a whole
bunch of practices from there, but if you just
do

205
00:16:36.812 --> 00:16:40.632
Speaker 1: anything, do those two things. Just
meditate seriously every day and want to know.

206
00:16:41.152 --> 00:16:44.712
Speaker 1: And the third is using your own
intuition. This is probably the only other,
like,

207
00:16:44.792 --> 00:16:49.992
Speaker 1: basic ingredient. Trusting yourself,
follow your heart, that answer, basically. You

208
00:16:50.072 --> 00:16:54.332
Speaker 1: are trusting your own internal
machinery to guide you to the destination.
That's the

209
00:16:54.372 --> 00:16:59.692
Speaker 1: premise. Your own soul already wants
to be free, right? That's the idea. And because

210
00:16:59.752 --> 00:17:04.352
Speaker 1: it wants to be free, or it wants to
know its creator or its own existence, it will

211
00:17:04.412 --> 00:17:08.552
Speaker 1: naturally grow in that direction with
just a little encouragement. It already knows

212
00:17:08.592 --> 00:17:12.472
Speaker 1: what to do. You don't have to
consciously know. And so all you really have to
do is

213
00:17:12.532 --> 00:17:16.132
Speaker 1: pay attention in your everyday life,
just while you're walking around outside of

214
00:17:16.172 --> 00:17:18.112
Speaker 1: meditation, and you're looking for

215
00:17:20.192 --> 00:17:24.092
Speaker 1: a feeling. You're learning to trust
your own intuition. I have a feeling that

216
00:17:24.152 --> 00:17:26.472
Speaker 1: talking to this person is important.
I have a feeling that leaving this

217
00:17:26.512 --> 00:17:30.292
Speaker 1: relationship's important. I have a
feeling that I shouldn't really call that guy
who

218
00:17:30.352 --> 00:17:33.872
Speaker 1: seemed like a cool friend. You're
gonna learn how to start trusting that and

219
00:17:33.932 --> 00:17:37.972
Speaker 1: following it. I highly recommend once
you have the confidence to do this, give

220
00:17:38.012 --> 00:17:42.832
Speaker 1: yourself a test. For two weeks, I,
instead of planning my life, instead of having
it

221
00:17:42.892 --> 00:17:47.492
Speaker 1: all planned out and figured out, left
brain, this, then this, then that, I am going

222
00:17:47.532 --> 00:17:52.072
Speaker 1: to try at every step to trust my own
intuition, not logical, not thinking, not

223
00:17:52.132 --> 00:17:57.412
Speaker 1: planning. I have a sense. I have a
feeling I should just do this. I should try that

224
00:17:57.852 --> 00:18:03.172
Speaker 1: and learn to take that seriously
because that is essentially your compass, hence
the

225
00:18:03.212 --> 00:18:06.812
Speaker 1: name of the blog, Different Compass,
that I write. That is the compass you're

226
00:18:06.872 --> 00:18:10.212
Speaker 1: learning to trust. It's your own
internal compass, which is pointing you to where

227
00:18:10.252 --> 00:18:14.272
Speaker 1: you need to go. Or somebody else is
helping you point it to where it needs to go.

228
00:18:14.872 --> 00:18:20.212
Speaker 1: Uh, make no claims on that. So learn
to trust your own internal judgments, largely

229
00:18:20.272 --> 00:18:24.264
Speaker 1: your own intuition. Cool. Do those
three things, and you'll get there eventually.

230
00:18:24.784 --> 00:18:27.924
Speaker 1: [laughs] You don't have to listen to
anything else I say. You already know how to do

231
00:18:27.964 --> 00:18:31.664
Speaker 1: it. You just need to make the time
and space, and you have to have the intention.

232
00:18:31.684 --> 00:18:34.724
Speaker 1: You have to want it. If you do those
things, you'll eventually get there. So what

233
00:18:34.784 --> 00:18:40.504
Speaker 1: follows from here is, like, here is,
like, things that definitely don't work. Here

234
00:18:40.524 --> 00:18:44.564
Speaker 1: are the things that will speed it up
if you're obsessive and [chuckles] you wanna go

235
00:18:44.604 --> 00:18:49.984
Speaker 1: faster. Uh, here is my understanding
of the general process and the sort of

236
00:18:50.044 --> 00:18:53.704
Speaker 1: stages that you might go through.
It's based, again, just based on sample size of

237
00:18:53.784 --> 00:18:55.144
Speaker 1: one. Um,

238
00:18:57.264 --> 00:19:01.364
Speaker 1: and you can follow it, uh, if it
feels right. Use your own intuition to know
whether

239
00:19:01.444 --> 00:19:05.404
Speaker 1: any of these one thing-- many of
these things are useful. So again, the goal is
to

240
00:19:05.424 --> 00:19:09.544
Speaker 1: get to a point where you have the
direct realization that you are your reality,
and

241
00:19:09.644 --> 00:19:15.544
Speaker 1: you can feel that the stuff around
you is you. And so there's a

242
00:19:15.584 --> 00:19:18.984
Speaker 1: lot of sta-steps in between there,
and they're all very motivating and exciting,
and

243
00:19:19.044 --> 00:19:22.104
Speaker 1: honestly, they're probably gonna be
unique to you. I do think there are general

244
00:19:22.144 --> 00:19:26.084
Speaker 1: patterns, so I am portraying this as
if this is how it worked for everyone. I don't

245
00:19:26.104 --> 00:19:30.704
Speaker 1: know that. I think that it is a
general... Most of these things will probably be

246
00:19:30.744 --> 00:19:35.424
Speaker 1: true for you, but your thing is gonna
look like your thing. I have a s-strong

247
00:19:35.504 --> 00:19:40.464
Speaker 1: suspicion that your own sort of
personal journey here towards some transcendence
is

248
00:19:40.524 --> 00:19:46.444
Speaker 1: going to look unique and personal.
This is all incredibly personal. It

249
00:19:46.524 --> 00:19:52.404
Speaker 1: is remarkably personal. Uh, so I
think it will be beautiful

250
00:19:52.464 --> 00:19:58.464
Speaker 1: and wonderful and exciting and
sometimes weird in exactly the ways you

251
00:19:58.524 --> 00:20:03.464
Speaker 1: need, in an uncanny way. And the more
you play along, and the more you take it

252
00:20:03.524 --> 00:20:08.284
Speaker 1: seriously, the more the universe
itself seems to play along and take your attempt

253
00:20:08.364 --> 00:20:12.424
Speaker 1: seriously back. You can think of this
all as like a challenge or a series of tests

254
00:20:12.464 --> 00:20:17.404
Speaker 1: and a series of lessons. I recommend
holding on to these, like, general ideas. If

255
00:20:17.424 --> 00:20:21.464
Speaker 1: you can hold-- If you can adopt these
beliefs, it will help you. Everything means

256
00:20:21.524 --> 00:20:26.024
Speaker 1: something. There are no small moments
and small things. Begin to see meaning in

257
00:20:26.104 --> 00:20:29.784
Speaker 1: every single thing that happens,
small or large. Why did that happen? Begin
asking

258
00:20:29.824 --> 00:20:33.684
Speaker 1: those questions. Why did that happen?
How is that for me? What is that teaching me?

259
00:20:34.424 --> 00:20:37.844
Speaker 1: What is the lesson in this? And the
more you can apply that, and the more you can

260
00:20:37.904 --> 00:20:42.664
Speaker 1: expect to see magic in the world,
right? Whatever magic means to you. Many people

261
00:20:42.684 --> 00:20:47.944
Speaker 1: would call... I'm mostly talking
about synchronicity, which are meaningful

262
00:20:48.004 --> 00:20:51.944
Speaker 1: coincidences. That is, "Wow, what are
the chances that this thing happened?" You

263
00:20:51.984 --> 00:20:55.264
Speaker 1: know? "Oh, you were just talking
about this thing, and wow, look, it just
happened."

264
00:20:55.724 --> 00:21:00.824
Speaker 1: When you see those moments, encourage
them and decide what they mean to you. Is this

265
00:21:00.884 --> 00:21:05.564
Speaker 1: magical? Was that for me? Does-- Is
that saying something about my life in a small

266
00:21:05.604 --> 00:21:11.524
Speaker 1: or big way, uh, that is relevant to
me right now or will be soon? Is it just fun?

267
00:21:11.804 --> 00:21:15.884
Speaker 1: And when you see them, notice them,
acknowledge them. Feel free to say thank you,

268
00:21:16.684 --> 00:21:22.224
Speaker 1: and take it seriously. And you decide
what it means to you. You can't be wrong.

269
00:21:22.644 --> 00:21:27.404
Speaker 1: So when you notice those moments of
magic in the world, and you expect to see it

270
00:21:27.464 --> 00:21:31.864
Speaker 1: everywhere you go, everything means
something. You're training your own mind to look

271
00:21:31.904 --> 00:21:37.324
Speaker 1: for it. But also, I think that there
is definitely a reciprocating effect and that

272
00:21:37.384 --> 00:21:42.724
Speaker 1: the world around you, your reality,
begins to play back with you like a game of

273
00:21:42.784 --> 00:21:48.664
Speaker 1: tennis back and forth. You're playing
now. And, um, it's fun. [chuckles]

274
00:21:48.764 --> 00:21:53.024
Speaker 1: And it's also helping you figure out
what to do and what's important, and it really

275
00:21:53.044 --> 00:21:54.364
Speaker 1: gives you confidence that it's
working.

276
00:21:56.124 --> 00:22:00.564
Speaker 1: All right, so what are the rough
stages of spiritual development towards

277
00:22:00.604 --> 00:22:05.444
Speaker 1: transcendence as I understand it from
where I, where I am? What does it feel like?

278
00:22:05.484 --> 00:22:09.464
Speaker 1: What are the effects? How do you know
roughly where you might be on it? Everyone's

279
00:22:09.504 --> 00:22:12.844
Speaker 1: gonna be different, and it's not like
it's one thing. It's not a single scale. I'm

280
00:22:12.904 --> 00:22:18.124
Speaker 1: reducing it to one scale here, but
it's not that. It's like a thousand different

281
00:22:18.304 --> 00:22:22.964
Speaker 1: skills and personal problems, and
they all contribute, right? So we're measuring
an

282
00:22:23.024 --> 00:22:27.144
Speaker 1: overall level, but in reality, you're
probably really good at some things already

283
00:22:27.484 --> 00:22:31.884
Speaker 1: and probably pretty deficient at
others. And you don't have to be perfect. This
is a

284
00:22:31.944 --> 00:22:36.804
Speaker 1: game of iterative improvement. And,
um, another excellent lesson before I give you

285
00:22:36.844 --> 00:22:37.844
Speaker 1: the scale is that

286
00:22:40.724 --> 00:22:44.444
Speaker 1: the problem you-you're dealing with
in life is always the right problem for you

287
00:22:44.504 --> 00:22:47.824
Speaker 1: right now. It's trying to teach you
something, and that's why you're dealing with

288
00:22:47.864 --> 00:22:51.704
Speaker 1: it. It's a very useful mindset. Why
am I struggling with this right now? Instead of

289
00:22:51.744 --> 00:22:55.964
Speaker 1: saying it sucks or I have to fix it
in a normal way, stop and ask yourself, "Why is

290
00:22:56.004 --> 00:23:00.264
Speaker 1: this happening to me? What is this
trying to teach me?" And assume that, no, this
is

291
00:23:00.324 --> 00:23:05.124
Speaker 1: the right thing for me right now. I'm
here for a reason. I-- My job is to figure out

292
00:23:05.184 --> 00:23:10.164
Speaker 1: why, to learn the lesson so that I
can move on to the next one. Take that viewpoint

293
00:23:10.204 --> 00:23:15.804
Speaker 1: as well. So here's the rough
progression. So at the bottom of the scale,

294
00:23:16.684 --> 00:23:19.684
Speaker 1: you've got yourself now roughly,
wherever you wanna put yourself on the scale, I

295
00:23:19.744 --> 00:23:25.684
Speaker 1: guess, um, is that you begin to feel
better, have more self-control, and become more

296
00:23:25.744 --> 00:23:30.444
Speaker 1: self-aware. Your internal state, how
your behavior affects others. You feel better.

297
00:23:31.304 --> 00:23:35.964
Speaker 1: I'm happier. Things don't bother me
as much. I'm less reactive, and I'm, I notice

298
00:23:36.024 --> 00:23:40.964
Speaker 1: myself more, and I see myself more
clearly. I don't get caught up in my own dramas

299
00:23:41.024 --> 00:23:46.364
Speaker 1: as much. That's how-- That's-- You're
on the scale. [chuckles] Congrats. Like, uh,

300
00:23:46.484 --> 00:23:51.464
Speaker 1: there is a level of self-confidence
that happens. So as I mentioned before, personal

301
00:23:51.484 --> 00:23:56.384
Speaker 1: development and spiritual development
as it relates to having all sorts of wild

302
00:23:56.424 --> 00:24:01.704
Speaker 1: encounters and effects and
communication and insights and experiences,
those come as

303
00:24:01.744 --> 00:24:06.384
Speaker 1: the flip side of the coin of personal
development. It's so weird, but that's, that's

304
00:24:06.424 --> 00:24:12.344
Speaker 1: how it works. So by improving
yourself, you can talk to

305
00:24:12.384 --> 00:24:17.384
Speaker 1: people with your mind and see without
your eyeballs and [chuckles] move stuff. Um,

306
00:24:17.684 --> 00:24:22.024
Speaker 1: and you can know things before you
should know them, all sorts of stuff. Uh, your

307
00:24:22.084 --> 00:24:26.232
Speaker 1: intuition tells you stuff about
people. Or about situations that you didn't
expect.

308
00:24:26.292 --> 00:24:29.792
Speaker 1: You have dreams that are teaching you
lessons. All these things start happening, and

309
00:24:29.832 --> 00:24:35.472
Speaker 1: it comes from improving yourself. So
as you're moving up this scale, you will tend

310
00:24:35.572 --> 00:24:40.912
Speaker 1: to care more and feel more and notice
more

311
00:24:41.652 --> 00:24:47.532
Speaker 1: as you go up. Higher you go up, I'm--
I care more. I feel more of, of everything,

312
00:24:47.592 --> 00:24:53.392
Speaker 1: by the way, not just good emotions,
air quotes, "good emotions," but everything. Uh,

313
00:24:53.492 --> 00:24:58.292
Speaker 1: you can be brought to tears by
staring at a bowl on a desk. You can also be
brought

314
00:24:58.332 --> 00:25:04.312
Speaker 1: to tears, um, with sadness as you see
somebody who is struggling, uh, or in pain,

315
00:25:05.032 --> 00:25:08.652
Speaker 1: and you're gonna feel that too. Your
empathy is gonna go way up. So just remember,

316
00:25:08.732 --> 00:25:11.732
Speaker 1: your aperture for feeling is gonna go
wider as well.

317
00:25:13.332 --> 00:25:16.272
Speaker 1: So you gotta be able to handle that.
You're gonna be more sensitive overall, and

318
00:25:16.292 --> 00:25:21.072
Speaker 1: you're gonna notice more things. Your
awareness is going to increase. And as that

319
00:25:21.132 --> 00:25:26.032
Speaker 1: happens, you're also going to care
more and more in wider circles. So you can think

320
00:25:26.052 --> 00:25:29.412
Speaker 1: of it as concentric circles. So you
s- yourself, this is why you have to s-- you

321
00:25:29.452 --> 00:25:32.932
Speaker 1: need to start this from a point of
self-actualization. You know, I know who I am,

322
00:25:33.012 --> 00:25:38.312
Speaker 1: generally speaking. I feel
self-confident. I feel healthy. You can be
unfulfilled.

323
00:25:38.612 --> 00:25:41.692
Speaker 1: You can feel like, "Man, I'm not
doing what I want. I feel like I have something
I

324
00:25:41.732 --> 00:25:46.152
Speaker 1: could be doing. There's more. My life
is good on paper. I'm pretty happy, or at

325
00:25:46.192 --> 00:25:47.352
Speaker 1: least generally I am."

326
00:25:49.172 --> 00:25:52.112
Speaker 1: That's a good starting point. And if
you're not there, then there's tons of

327
00:25:52.172 --> 00:25:55.312
Speaker 1: self-development help, meditating and
all that stuff. Well, trusting your intuition,

328
00:25:55.392 --> 00:25:57.612
Speaker 1: that still applies. Um,

329
00:25:59.252 --> 00:26:02.272
Speaker 1: but anyway, you care about yourself,
and you will care more about yourself, and then

330
00:26:02.312 --> 00:26:07.172
Speaker 1: you'll care about your friends, your
family, your community. Uh, you care about

331
00:26:07.212 --> 00:26:11.092
Speaker 1: things beyond yourself as you go up
this scale, and you care more and more deeply as

332
00:26:11.132 --> 00:26:15.372
Speaker 1: well. So it's like you care more
widely, but you also care more deeply. And that

333
00:26:15.412 --> 00:26:19.032
Speaker 1: goes for feeling and noticing as
well. You become aware of things in a way you

334
00:26:19.072 --> 00:26:19.612
Speaker 1: weren't before.

335
00:26:21.152 --> 00:26:24.932
Speaker 1: Now, that awareness keeps going, and
eventually you start to experience, and

336
00:26:25.012 --> 00:26:29.752
Speaker 1: everyone ha- has experienced these
things, even if you don't realize it. But your

337
00:26:29.912 --> 00:26:34.252
Speaker 1: average level of awareness goes up,
and you start to gain extra sensory perceptions.

338
00:26:35.592 --> 00:26:38.992
Speaker 1: Again, often through de- dreams or
when you're waking up or going to sleep, those

339
00:26:39.012 --> 00:26:42.532
Speaker 1: are the most common times. But now
that you're meditating, you're gonna start
having

340
00:26:42.572 --> 00:26:46.712
Speaker 1: this happen deep in meditation.
You're just gonna have a, an insight on, "Oh, I
know

341
00:26:46.752 --> 00:26:51.472
Speaker 1: how to solve my problem." Like, you
didn't even try. It just [snaps finger] comes to

342
00:26:51.512 --> 00:26:57.432
Speaker 1: you. Or you will hear a thing, or you
will feel a thing, and you don't know why.

343
00:26:58.012 --> 00:27:01.892
Speaker 1: Or you will have an idea, and then
later someone will talk to you about that exact

344
00:27:01.952 --> 00:27:06.532
Speaker 1: idea, and you'll be like, "What the
hell just happened? [chuckles] I was thinking

345
00:27:06.572 --> 00:27:10.232
Speaker 1: about that this morning, and now
you're talking to me about it," because somehow
you

346
00:27:10.292 --> 00:27:14.312
Speaker 1: knew before it would happen.
Precognition. All those things are gonna start

347
00:27:14.352 --> 00:27:17.992
Speaker 1: happening, and they're gonna happen
spontaneously at first. You will not be able to

348
00:27:18.032 --> 00:27:23.532
Speaker 1: control it. And then if you practice
with those skills specifically, you may bring

349
00:27:23.572 --> 00:27:27.152
Speaker 1: them under your control. Um, but
they're gonna start happening spontaneously.

350
00:27:28.672 --> 00:27:32.732
Speaker 1: And then all sorts of-- Then you're
gonna get to a stage of non-physical

351
00:27:32.772 --> 00:27:37.652
Speaker 1: communication. Your awareness will
get to a point where somebody is gonna knock on

352
00:27:37.712 --> 00:27:43.592
Speaker 1: your door. Um, so be prepared for
that. [chuckles] It will almost

353
00:27:43.632 --> 00:27:49.592
Speaker 1: certainly be kind. Um, but when you
increase your aperture, you're bringing

354
00:27:49.672 --> 00:27:53.812
Speaker 1: in more of whatever you're putting
out there, right? So if you have a lot of fears

355
00:27:53.852 --> 00:27:59.152
Speaker 1: or insecurities, you may attract
those kinds of interactions. And if you've
watched

356
00:27:59.192 --> 00:28:02.772
Speaker 1: the other videos then or listened to
them, you have some idea of what to do about

357
00:28:02.832 --> 00:28:06.012
Speaker 1: that. You have control over this. But
just know that you're bringing your fears and

358
00:28:06.052 --> 00:28:10.572
Speaker 1: insecurities with you, and to a
degree, you are inviting those side-- kinds of

359
00:28:10.612 --> 00:28:15.332
Speaker 1: interactions. So if you're incredibly
fearful or you have very strong religious

360
00:28:15.392 --> 00:28:19.392
Speaker 1: views that paint a world in which you
are very likely to be attacked or you're doing

361
00:28:19.432 --> 00:28:24.452
Speaker 1: something wrong, you can expect some
of these interactions to not be pleasant. Uh,

362
00:28:24.852 --> 00:28:30.572
Speaker 1: so you know, people are people, and
creatures are creatures the world over. Just

363
00:28:30.652 --> 00:28:34.372
Speaker 1: assume 'cause [chuckles] they're not
physical doesn't mean that there's not the

364
00:28:34.412 --> 00:28:39.072
Speaker 1: whole gamut. Uh, so but never forget
that it's your own mind, your own reality. And

365
00:28:39.132 --> 00:28:44.612
Speaker 1: especially for non-physical things,
you really just have to have a strength of self

366
00:28:44.672 --> 00:28:50.332
Speaker 1: and to know, uh, "You can't actually
hurt me," and you'll, you'll be fine. And then

367
00:28:50.392 --> 00:28:54.892
Speaker 1: eventually you begin to learn truths
directly about the universe and the world.

368
00:28:55.132 --> 00:29:00.452
Speaker 1: Like, they, they just happen to you.
You just know. You just... I know something

369
00:29:00.472 --> 00:29:04.672
Speaker 1: profound about how the, how reality
works. Or you start to get the answers to those

370
00:29:04.712 --> 00:29:08.172
Speaker 1: big questions you started out with.
You just know them one day. It just hits you or

371
00:29:08.212 --> 00:29:11.612
Speaker 1: you experience it directly. And you
know in a way that is not like, "I'm pretty sure

372
00:29:11.712 --> 00:29:17.532
Speaker 1: I know how this works." You're like,
"I just understand on a fundamental level how

373
00:29:17.572 --> 00:29:22.292
Speaker 1: this works. I have a feeling I
understand it." And then you do. It's pretty
weird,

374
00:29:22.912 --> 00:29:28.712
Speaker 1: and it's pretty cool. Uh, so that's
generally how it works. Um, but that sort of

375
00:29:28.792 --> 00:29:33.952
Speaker 1: ignores what it's like along the way
and all the things that you could do. So that's

376
00:29:33.972 --> 00:29:38.032
Speaker 1: what it looks like to move along this
sliding scale. All sorts of things will happen

377
00:29:38.092 --> 00:29:43.152
Speaker 1: to you. You may have out-of-body
experiences. In general, intention will make
these

378
00:29:43.192 --> 00:29:46.892
Speaker 1: things happen. You want them to
happen, they are more likely to happen, but they
can

379
00:29:46.932 --> 00:29:51.012
Speaker 1: happen sporadically too. You may have
vivid and lucid dreams, uh, where you're

380
00:29:51.072 --> 00:29:56.692
Speaker 1: interacting with people or, or
something like people, uh, and

381
00:29:57.412 --> 00:30:02.532
Speaker 1: all sorts of things can happen. Uh,
so I couldn't tell you, but [chuckles] that's

382
00:30:02.572 --> 00:30:08.512
Speaker 1: the general idea. Uh, so growth along
this spectrum tends to happen in,

383
00:30:08.572 --> 00:30:12.972
Speaker 1: like, waves, right? You may have
periods where you have an enormous amount of
things

384
00:30:13.012 --> 00:30:18.032
Speaker 1: happen to you all at once, and then
nothing will happen for a while. So as long as

385
00:30:18.052 --> 00:30:22.532
Speaker 1: you're doing all that stuff, you're
seeking, you're treating the problem of the day

386
00:30:22.632 --> 00:30:26.092
Speaker 1: as, "No, this is, like, serious. I'm
struggling. Uh, this is happening to me for a

387
00:30:26.132 --> 00:30:28.832
Speaker 1: reason," and you are serious about
trying to figure it out. No problem is too
small.

388
00:30:29.452 --> 00:30:34.700
Speaker 1: Why are you annoyed waiting in line?
You tell me. [chuckles] Treat that as a serious

389
00:30:34.740 --> 00:30:37.720
Speaker 1: problem. There are no small moments.
Everything means something. There's a lesson

390
00:30:37.760 --> 00:30:42.380
Speaker 1: here. If you're playing that
mini-game all the time, then you're going to
start

391
00:30:42.420 --> 00:30:48.040
Speaker 1: experiencing things you did not
expect. Um, UFOs, someone will talk to you that

392
00:30:48.100 --> 00:30:52.760
Speaker 1: isn't there. [chuckles] You have a
profound feeling, uh, that something is going to

393
00:30:52.820 --> 00:30:58.160
Speaker 1: happen. The anomalous events are
going to happen, and they are going to create

394
00:30:58.560 --> 00:31:03.599
Speaker 1: basically a break in your worldview
where you go, "Holy crap, this is actually

395
00:31:03.639 --> 00:31:08.660
Speaker 1: happening. This is real. It's
working." [chuckles] "I am aware of things that
I did

396
00:31:08.700 --> 00:31:13.140
Speaker 1: not know existed, experiences I did
not know I could have. I'm pretty sure that

397
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:20.560
Speaker 1: this is happening right now." And
when those happen, you have to process it. They

398
00:31:20.600 --> 00:31:24.600
Speaker 1: can either happen in a way that is--
you can tolerate. It's within your change

399
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:29.700
Speaker 1: tolerance, even if it's difficult.
And I promise you, it can be hard. Some people

400
00:31:29.740 --> 00:31:35.500
Speaker 1: will be harder than others. Um, but
you have to be able to process that. Uh, so

401
00:31:35.700 --> 00:31:40.960
Speaker 1: some things not to do when anomalous
events occur to you. Uh, flee, fight,

402
00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:47.360
Speaker 1: denial, distraction, downplay it, or
go catatonic. Now, I'm not judging

403
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.460
Speaker 1: anybody. If you need psychological,
like, [chuckles] defense, and it's okay to,

404
00:31:52.500 --> 00:31:56.660
Speaker 1: like, run away or shut something down
'cause you can't handle it anymore. That's

405
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.800
Speaker 1: fine. But these things will not,
like, advance you in the sense, like, if you
always

406
00:32:01.840 --> 00:32:05.560
Speaker 1: have that reaction, it's going to
stop happening. You're shutting it down, closing

407
00:32:05.600 --> 00:32:08.080
Speaker 1: that aperture, and it's not gonna
happen anymore.

408
00:32:09.620 --> 00:32:15.520
Speaker 1: So you want to ask questions like,
"What happened? What is it showing me?" You need

409
00:32:15.580 --> 00:32:20.180
Speaker 1: to decide what it means. You,
remember, you decide what it means. It's up to
you to

410
00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:25.720
Speaker 1: decide what it means. Uh, don't let
anyone else tell you what it means. This is a

411
00:32:25.780 --> 00:32:29.220
Speaker 1: first-hand exploration. Remember,
this isn't about reading books. This isn't about

412
00:32:29.280 --> 00:32:33.380
Speaker 1: watching YouTube videos. I mean, this
one aside, I guess, but this is just

413
00:32:33.420 --> 00:32:36.860
Speaker 1: principles. I'm not telling you what
any of it is. I'm not telling you who these

414
00:32:36.940 --> 00:32:40.500
Speaker 1: alien races are. I'm not gonna tell
you who built the pyramids. I'm not gonna tell

415
00:32:40.539 --> 00:32:44.440
Speaker 1: you that there's secret cults. I'm
not gonna tell you that magic, this is how it

416
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:49.120
Speaker 1: works. I don't care. You go figure it
out. I'm giving you the principles. You do it

417
00:32:49.160 --> 00:32:53.460
Speaker 1: yourself. You decide what it means.
Don't abdicate that to anyone else. You can use

418
00:32:53.540 --> 00:32:57.700
Speaker 1: other people's information as a
shorthand if you want, but in general, I'd say
that

419
00:32:57.740 --> 00:33:01.460
Speaker 1: is usually noise. Go find out
yourself. You don't need anyone else's
permission. You

420
00:33:01.500 --> 00:33:05.240
Speaker 1: have everything you need already to
do this. There's no real reason to ask other

421
00:33:05.280 --> 00:33:10.360
Speaker 1: people other than support. Support is
great. Talk to other people who are doing

422
00:33:10.880 --> 00:33:14.640
Speaker 1: something similar, these other kinds
of inner explorations.

423
00:33:16.500 --> 00:33:19.780
Speaker 1: Now, after you decide what it means,
you need to update your beliefs and your world

424
00:33:19.820 --> 00:33:23.740
Speaker 1: models to try to incorporate this.
Okay, this is real, so you don't just project
it.

425
00:33:23.780 --> 00:33:29.520
Speaker 1: Like, okay, something is explaining
this. I may not know what, but this happened for

426
00:33:29.580 --> 00:33:31.920
Speaker 1: some reason, and can I fit this into
my worldview?

427
00:33:33.760 --> 00:33:39.400
Speaker 1: And then you start to act from these
new models. So if you get a strong

428
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:44.300
Speaker 1: feeling that, again, uh, I think I
used this example before, that your, your

429
00:33:44.340 --> 00:33:48.880
Speaker 1: deceased grandmother is trying to
give you a message to do something, and you

430
00:33:48.960 --> 00:33:52.600
Speaker 1: updated your belief, you processed
that. Okay, I'm not panicking too much. I got it

431
00:33:52.640 --> 00:33:56.760
Speaker 1: together. [chuckles] Okay, this is
possible. I've updated my beliefs a little bit.

432
00:33:57.440 --> 00:34:01.200
Speaker 1: Now you act like it's true. You have
to act like it's true. Even if you're not

433
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:04.720
Speaker 1: perfect, you have to act like it's
true, 'cause if you don't want it, you're gonna

434
00:34:04.760 --> 00:34:08.480
Speaker 1: shut it down, and it won't happen
anymore. So you need to act it out. That means
you

435
00:34:08.540 --> 00:34:14.180
Speaker 1: don't ignore [chuckles] your grandma,
uh, or whomever, right? Whatever is happening,

436
00:34:14.240 --> 00:34:16.740
Speaker 1: whatever you're trying to do, whether
you're trying to move a piece of foil,

437
00:34:17.120 --> 00:34:20.780
Speaker 1: aluminum foil with your mind or see
without your eyes, whatever you're trying to do

438
00:34:21.460 --> 00:34:27.360
Speaker 1: or hear or feel or understand, when
it actually starts to happen, you have to

439
00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:31.880
Speaker 1: integrate it, process it, and then
start acting it out in the real world.

440
00:34:34.240 --> 00:34:38.980
Speaker 1: So start acting like it's true. And
if you're in a safe space or you have a support

441
00:34:39.020 --> 00:34:43.900
Speaker 1: group, talk it out. Tell them what
happened. Bottling this stuff up, not good.

442
00:34:44.260 --> 00:34:49.040
Speaker 1: [chuckles] Everybody needs somebody.
Um, and this is difficult. Um, it can be

443
00:34:49.080 --> 00:34:52.580
Speaker 1: difficult, and it can be isolating,
and it could be ostracizing because it's still

444
00:34:52.619 --> 00:34:58.120
Speaker 1: not normal. Uh, it's not normal to
try to understand yourself by yourself using the

445
00:34:58.200 --> 00:35:02.940
Speaker 1: tools that have been given to you
from your very birth or before your birth. You

446
00:35:02.980 --> 00:35:05.640
Speaker 1: have everything you need. You don't
have to ask permission, but that doesn't mean

447
00:35:05.680 --> 00:35:11.640
Speaker 1: that it can't be isolating and, you
know, lonely or disturbing to do these

448
00:35:11.660 --> 00:35:15.020
Speaker 1: things on your own and feel like you
can't talk to anyone about it. That's not good.

449
00:35:15.720 --> 00:35:19.920
Speaker 1: You need to, you need to be able to
get this out with- in a safe space, so try to

450
00:35:19.960 --> 00:35:24.920
Speaker 1: find people who, who are happy to
share this kind of thing with you. That's what

451
00:35:24.960 --> 00:35:28.340
Speaker 1: you're gonna do. Now, that's if it
went well and it's within your change tolerance.

452
00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:35.200
Speaker 1: Now, if you have a close encounter
experience or you have a difficult [chuckles]

453
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:39.820
Speaker 1: dream or non-dreamlike experience or
something happens to you that you're not ready

454
00:35:39.880 --> 00:35:45.620
Speaker 1: for, you thought you were, and then
you're like, "Oh, no, I am [chuckles] not

455
00:35:45.640 --> 00:35:49.180
Speaker 1: prepared for this," and you can feel
yourself going into shock and shutting down.

456
00:35:49.780 --> 00:35:55.020
Speaker 1: You know, obviously, once all this
event is over, you have, I've dubbed the term,

457
00:35:55.460 --> 00:35:59.660
Speaker 1: been shattered, basically. I've been
shattered a number of times, and it is...

458
00:36:01.360 --> 00:36:06.140
Speaker 1: There's a reason I suggested that you
be able to handle your shit, because it's one

459
00:36:06.180 --> 00:36:09.540
Speaker 1: thing to say, "Oh, this is cool. Look
at these photographs," or, "Look at these

460
00:36:09.600 --> 00:36:14.580
Speaker 1: ideas." But when you see a ghost or
whatever, a UFO or whatever, it actually happens

461
00:36:14.640 --> 00:36:19.580
Speaker 1: to you because you've been trying to.
Or when you see somebody do some healing or

462
00:36:19.640 --> 00:36:23.220
Speaker 1: something, and you thought you were
ready for it in an intellectual way, and then

463
00:36:23.260 --> 00:36:27.560
Speaker 1: you see it, and you start to shut
down and go, "Oh, no, that did not just happen."

464
00:36:28.500 --> 00:36:33.280
Speaker 1: Your worldview has been shattered
beyond your change, your ability to process and

465
00:36:33.320 --> 00:36:38.368
Speaker 1: handle change. It's not, like, ideal
[chuckles] for this to happen too much, but it

466
00:36:38.428 --> 00:36:42.508
Speaker 1: probably is going to happen to you
some if you're serious about this. And you need

467
00:36:42.588 --> 00:36:47.548
Speaker 1: to be able to handle processing
trauma, and that means I recommend go looking,

468
00:36:47.988 --> 00:36:53.928
Speaker 1: looking up how to process trauma. Uh,
but the general idea is that how you

469
00:36:53.988 --> 00:36:58.468
Speaker 1: encode the memory matters. So when
you... If you encode this as something negative

470
00:36:58.508 --> 00:37:02.348
Speaker 1: or, like, "This was, uh, this was a
demon," or, "I've done something awful," or,

471
00:37:02.488 --> 00:37:05.328
Speaker 1: "That happened because I'm terrible,"
or, "I don't know what I'm doing, I'm in

472
00:37:05.368 --> 00:37:10.308
Speaker 1: danger," you're encoding that as
something out of your control, and it's a
traumatic

473
00:37:10.348 --> 00:37:14.728
Speaker 1: memory. But if you can find a way
that this was for you, that it was positive,
that

474
00:37:14.768 --> 00:37:17.728
Speaker 1: it meant something good even if it
was confusing or disturbing,

475
00:37:19.388 --> 00:37:23.248
Speaker 1: you need to find a way to process
that trauma in a way that it doesn't build up
and

476
00:37:23.308 --> 00:37:28.448
Speaker 1: prevent you from keep, from going. I
mean, there's no shame in calling it quits if

477
00:37:28.488 --> 00:37:32.188
Speaker 1: you c- [chuckles] if it's making your
life worse. Like, that's not the point. Uh,

478
00:37:32.268 --> 00:37:36.228
Speaker 1: don't be that reckless. But at the
same time, you need to be able to handle

479
00:37:36.268 --> 00:37:40.948
Speaker 1: traumatic events and know how to get
through it all, with therapy, with friends,

480
00:37:40.988 --> 00:37:46.268
Speaker 1: like, because it's going to affect
you. Generally in a beautiful way,

481
00:37:46.888 --> 00:37:50.988
Speaker 1: right? It's, it's cool. Like, you,
you, you go to sleep and then, oh, wow, your

482
00:37:51.028 --> 00:37:54.548
Speaker 1: grandma is, like, she's there. She's
talking to you, and you're like... That can

483
00:37:54.608 --> 00:37:58.228
Speaker 1: either be something that shook your
entire world and you shut down, and you don't

484
00:37:58.248 --> 00:38:02.788
Speaker 1: want this anymore, or it can, once
you get through how difficult it's been and you

485
00:38:02.828 --> 00:38:06.688
Speaker 1: can reflect on it and process it a
little bit, you can realize it's something

486
00:38:06.748 --> 00:38:11.068
Speaker 1: beautiful and awesome and exactly
what you always wanted. How you handle it is
what

487
00:38:11.128 --> 00:38:16.968
Speaker 1: matters. Um, I will say these kinds
of traumatic experiences, pain,

488
00:38:17.568 --> 00:38:22.168
Speaker 1: change beyond your tolerance, um, and
actually completely processing the events as

489
00:38:22.188 --> 00:38:25.928
Speaker 1: they happen. Don't just blow through
them or play th- downplay them and, like, move

490
00:38:25.988 --> 00:38:29.908
Speaker 1: on to the next thing. You really need
to sit with this. You have to do a lot of

491
00:38:29.968 --> 00:38:35.388
Speaker 1: thinking. Like, at some point you're
like, "Oh, crap. The aliens are real, man."

492
00:38:35.408 --> 00:38:38.628
Speaker 1: [chuckles] Or whatever people call
them, or spirits, whatever your thing is. I'm
not

493
00:38:38.648 --> 00:38:42.907
Speaker 1: here to tell you what's true. Ghosts
or, like, I guess s- this is actually

494
00:38:42.948 --> 00:38:43.388
Speaker 1: happening.

495
00:38:44.907 --> 00:38:48.668
Speaker 1: The amount of times you're gonna have
to sit down and say those exact words, "Oh,

496
00:38:48.728 --> 00:38:52.028
Speaker 1: this is actually happening to me."
And you're gonna have to sit with that for a

497
00:38:52.068 --> 00:38:57.648
Speaker 1: while and figure out what it means
for you, and it's not always easy. But you need

498
00:38:57.708 --> 00:39:02.108
Speaker 1: to, like, completely, like, digest
that. You need to completely work through it.
You

499
00:39:02.188 --> 00:39:07.128
Speaker 1: carry that through, the magic stops.
Or worse, it doesn't stop, and now you're

500
00:39:07.168 --> 00:39:12.328
Speaker 1: building up traumatic experiences,
and that's, that's no bueno. That's not gonna
end

501
00:39:12.388 --> 00:39:17.708
Speaker 1: well. Um, so, but in general, at
least in my experience, the magic stops. The

502
00:39:17.808 --> 00:39:22.808
Speaker 1: universe, your spirit guides, your,
your deity, whatever, it stops the

503
00:39:23.628 --> 00:39:29.168
Speaker 1: gravy train of cool and weird things
happening to you because you're not ready. If

504
00:39:29.208 --> 00:39:33.088
Speaker 1: you're not ready, it's just pain.
It's just hurting you. You haven't healed. You

505
00:39:33.108 --> 00:39:35.928
Speaker 1: haven't recovered. It's like doing a
workout where you injure your arm and, like,

506
00:39:35.968 --> 00:39:39.548
Speaker 1: you go back the next day and it's
like, "Come, give me more." Like, no. [chuckles]

507
00:39:39.608 --> 00:39:43.128
Speaker 1: You can't, you're not done with the
last one yet. You hurt yourself, man. Or, like,

508
00:39:43.268 --> 00:39:48.308
Speaker 1: you just need to rest. Like, it takes
time. Irony of me saying it takes time.

509
00:39:49.328 --> 00:39:54.108
Speaker 1: I was very impatient. Uh, I, I regret
very little, but I learned these things

510
00:39:54.148 --> 00:39:58.868
Speaker 1: because of my impatience, so I guess
that's to your benefit.

511
00:40:00.368 --> 00:40:05.568
Speaker 1: Okay, so other things that do not
work. Detachment from your human life and

512
00:40:05.628 --> 00:40:11.128
Speaker 1: responsibility. Cool. At some point
you're like, "Pssh. You know, this is all a

513
00:40:11.188 --> 00:40:14.588
Speaker 1: construct. I can control it all with
my awareness," or, "Why do I... I don't need

514
00:40:14.648 --> 00:40:17.388
Speaker 1: to..." [chuckles] Whatever your thing
is. I don't know what your thing is. But you

515
00:40:17.428 --> 00:40:21.708
Speaker 1: bec- you, you could become
disillusioned from your own regular life. "Why
do I have

516
00:40:21.748 --> 00:40:27.028
Speaker 1: to take the garbage out?" [chuckles]
It's... "I have had some deep insight and it

517
00:40:27.068 --> 00:40:31.288
Speaker 1: feels so pointless. Like, what does
it matter?" Don't do that. It's gonna happen,

518
00:40:31.588 --> 00:40:35.488
Speaker 1: and that's okay. Don't judge yourself
for it. But if you disconnect from your life,

519
00:40:36.008 --> 00:40:40.808
Speaker 1: from your friends, from your
responsibilities, the magic stops. Or worse, it

520
00:40:40.848 --> 00:40:44.988
Speaker 1: doesn't, and things get worse. But in
general, it does seem to. If you are acting

521
00:40:45.028 --> 00:40:46.108
Speaker 1: with inauthenticity,

522
00:40:47.828 --> 00:40:53.547
Speaker 1: uh, or acting from a place of
victimhood, it stops. No victims. It's

523
00:40:53.588 --> 00:40:56.708
Speaker 1: okay to feel like a victim for a
while. It's okay to go down, but you don't stay

524
00:40:56.748 --> 00:41:01.908
Speaker 1: down. So if you stay in those places,
you're faking it. Not in a fake it and you

525
00:41:01.968 --> 00:41:06.568
Speaker 1: make it, like I'm living into
something, but like I'm acting like not myself,
and I

526
00:41:06.628 --> 00:41:12.248
Speaker 1: don't like it. If you're not acting
authentically in your life, doesn't work. This

527
00:41:12.308 --> 00:41:15.288
Speaker 1: is, remember, personal development.
That's all we're really talking about is

528
00:41:15.328 --> 00:41:18.568
Speaker 1: personal development, and you just
keep going off into the stratosphere. [chuckles]

529
00:41:18.608 --> 00:41:23.168
Speaker 1: It's escape velocity. You keep
developing that person so hard that apparently
you

530
00:41:23.208 --> 00:41:28.388
Speaker 1: can leave your body, talk to aliens,
and see ghosts. I don't know, man. I don't make

531
00:41:28.428 --> 00:41:33.928
Speaker 1: the rules. It just happens. Um,
[chuckles] okay. Failure to retain or live out

532
00:41:33.968 --> 00:41:37.728
Speaker 1: previous lessons. When you learn
those lessons throughout life, "Why is this

533
00:41:37.748 --> 00:41:42.048
Speaker 1: happening to me right now? Well,
because I judge myself, uh, super harshly,

534
00:41:42.408 --> 00:41:47.028
Speaker 1: especially when I fail or I feel
rejected." Great. If you manage to work through

535
00:41:47.068 --> 00:41:52.208
Speaker 1: that behemoth of a problem that
you've had, and then two months from now you re-
di-

536
00:41:52.388 --> 00:41:58.348
Speaker 1: you regress and you go from, you
know, being able to see without eyes

537
00:41:58.368 --> 00:42:03.248
Speaker 1: really well or whatever your thing
is, or you just, you feel like you've regressed

538
00:42:03.368 --> 00:42:06.748
Speaker 1: spiritually or nothing's happening
anymore, you need to reexamine whether you have

539
00:42:08.048 --> 00:42:11.228
Speaker 1: actually continually applied the
things you've already learned. If you're not
doing

540
00:42:11.248 --> 00:42:16.168
Speaker 1: what you already know to be true, at
least on a general basis, you can't just learn

541
00:42:16.208 --> 00:42:21.088
Speaker 1: it once and then forget about it. You
need to keep applying those lessons. Uh, they,

542
00:42:21.368 --> 00:42:26.288
Speaker 1: this all accumulates. It's stacking
up. So if you stop taking care of yourself,

543
00:42:26.488 --> 00:42:31.268
Speaker 1: [chuckles] if you stop doing the
basics or w- you're repeating mistakes that
you've

544
00:42:31.288 --> 00:42:35.048
Speaker 1: done in the past over and over again,
you're not gonna progress. In fact, it

545
00:42:35.108 --> 00:42:36.088
Speaker 1: literally all stops.

546
00:42:38.076 --> 00:42:43.876
Speaker 1: Um, cool. Uh, so in the general path
of progress from where you are

547
00:42:43.936 --> 00:42:47.876
Speaker 1: now to whatever you're trying to
accomplish next or answer some big question or
just

548
00:42:47.956 --> 00:42:49.316
Speaker 1: a general spiritual development

549
00:42:51.216 --> 00:42:55.676
Speaker 1: is a process of acting from
irrational belief. So you are reaching out,
acting

550
00:42:55.716 --> 00:43:00.316
Speaker 1: beyond what your existing models of
the world can predict. So if you come from a

551
00:43:00.376 --> 00:43:05.856
Speaker 1: materialist worldview, everything is
atoms and physics, um, then it's going to be

552
00:43:05.896 --> 00:43:11.016
Speaker 1: hard for you to experience
non-physical energy or chakras or whatever
you're trying

553
00:43:11.036 --> 00:43:15.736
Speaker 1: to do. So you need to be able to
believe something. Like I said, you need to be
able

554
00:43:15.776 --> 00:43:19.436
Speaker 1: to believe a stupid i... You need to
be able to sit with a stupid idea long enough

555
00:43:19.456 --> 00:43:22.456
Speaker 1: to see if it's true. So you're
holding it in this space where I believe it can
be

556
00:43:22.516 --> 00:43:25.636
Speaker 1: true. I believe it can be true.
[chuckles] It can be that little engine that
could

557
00:43:25.816 --> 00:43:28.896
Speaker 1: until it does, and that could be
longer than you think.

558
00:43:31.396 --> 00:43:35.556
Speaker 1: All right. Uh, what else did I not
cover? Oh man, there's a lot I'm not covering.

559
00:43:35.656 --> 00:43:36.096
Speaker 1: Sheesh.

560
00:43:37.916 --> 00:43:43.175
Speaker 1: This stuff is complicated, but it's
also not [chuckles] that complicated. There's a

561
00:43:43.236 --> 00:43:47.696
Speaker 1: general idea that you will be helped,
especially there is somebody for everybody,

562
00:43:47.836 --> 00:43:52.316
Speaker 1: and they are trying to help you. And
if you sincerely embark on this, there are

563
00:43:52.376 --> 00:43:55.396
Speaker 1: people who are putting lessons in
front of you, just like I've described my own

564
00:43:55.476 --> 00:43:59.516
Speaker 1: stories, like a curriculum. They're
always trying to push in front of you what you

565
00:43:59.556 --> 00:44:04.336
Speaker 1: need now. What you might need now is
to not yell at your kids. Like, that's okay. Or

566
00:44:04.416 --> 00:44:08.336
Speaker 1: it might be like, it's almost always
a problem within yourself. It's some

567
00:44:08.396 --> 00:44:12.716
Speaker 1: insecurity. It's something you
haven't faced. So if you don't wanna face, you
know,

568
00:44:12.956 --> 00:44:17.936
Speaker 1: your daddy issues or you don't wanna
face your insecurities about your appearance or

569
00:44:17.976 --> 00:44:22.636
Speaker 1: whatever, [chuckles] I got bad news
for you because this whole thing is a machine

570
00:44:22.696 --> 00:44:27.436
Speaker 1: designed to make you face every
single one of your dark parts or things you
don't

571
00:44:27.476 --> 00:44:32.916
Speaker 1: like about yourself or the world or
your ignorance. It is literally just a mirror or

572
00:44:32.976 --> 00:44:37.316
Speaker 1: a flashlight. It's... You're seeing
yourself, and you are shining a light on the

573
00:44:37.376 --> 00:44:41.036
Speaker 1: portions of yourself that you
probably least want to look at. So if you don't,

574
00:44:41.716 --> 00:44:46.055
Speaker 1: [chuckles] you don't get magic powers
unless you're willing to face your childhood

575
00:44:46.096 --> 00:44:52.076
Speaker 1: traumas. And that's just how it is.
Or your relationship issues, [chuckles] or

576
00:44:52.136 --> 00:44:57.276
Speaker 1: your issues with yourself because
they are what is preventing you from getting to

577
00:44:57.336 --> 00:45:02.376
Speaker 1: that moment, as strange as that
sounds. So those are called distortions, and
they

578
00:45:02.456 --> 00:45:06.776
Speaker 1: are just things that are in the way.
They're illusions. They are things that you

579
00:45:06.816 --> 00:45:10.456
Speaker 1: think are true that are limiting you,
and they're hurting you, and they're making

580
00:45:10.496 --> 00:45:14.476
Speaker 1: your life worse. Uh, so you're gonna
have... This is literally just a process of

581
00:45:14.516 --> 00:45:18.516
Speaker 1: improving yourself. Um, so if you
think you don't have to face something or
there's

582
00:45:18.616 --> 00:45:22.096
Speaker 1: one fear you won't have to get
through, that doesn't mean that you have to
solve

583
00:45:22.156 --> 00:45:27.516
Speaker 1: everything. But in general, you
should expect each of these lessons and even the

584
00:45:27.536 --> 00:45:32.056
Speaker 1: anomalous experiences to be shaped
by, and you should know why by now, your own

585
00:45:32.196 --> 00:45:38.156
Speaker 1: fears, insecurities, and limiting
beliefs. That's really the work you're doing on

586
00:45:38.216 --> 00:45:42.536
Speaker 1: because, again, it's all you. If your
reality is all you, the only thing preventing

587
00:45:42.576 --> 00:45:46.476
Speaker 1: you [chuckles] from being aware of
and controlling your reality is yourself, and

588
00:45:46.516 --> 00:45:49.656
Speaker 1: these are the things that are in your
way, is these distortions. It's personal

589
00:45:49.696 --> 00:45:54.896
Speaker 1: problems, [chuckles] large- largely
speaking anyway. Uh, not entirely, but largely.

590
00:45:55.816 --> 00:46:00.196
Speaker 1: Um, there is a level of just, like,
work, uh, that has to happen and increased

591
00:46:00.236 --> 00:46:03.716
Speaker 1: awareness. There are skills that
happen. I'm not gonna need to teach you what
they

592
00:46:03.776 --> 00:46:08.676
Speaker 1: are because your own intuition, your
own guides or deity or higher power, higher

593
00:46:08.736 --> 00:46:12.636
Speaker 1: self, doesn't matter. They're always
pushing the lesson you need in front of you. So

594
00:46:12.716 --> 00:46:13.836
Speaker 1: treat life like that.

595
00:46:15.396 --> 00:46:21.336
Speaker 1: Um, some things to be aware of. Um,
frustration, uh, confusion, and absurdity

596
00:46:21.436 --> 00:46:26.796
Speaker 1: are fundamental properties of these
experiences, and you have to exert effort to

597
00:46:26.876 --> 00:46:31.856
Speaker 1: overcome them. And the reason that
th- this is this way is because it improves the

598
00:46:31.896 --> 00:46:37.156
Speaker 1: potential. So if you see something
and it's a little insane, I don't know, see s-

599
00:46:37.776 --> 00:46:41.976
Speaker 1: like Bigfoot or something, and it's
like... Some of this stuff is deliberately dumb.

600
00:46:42.796 --> 00:46:48.196
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense. Like, it
almost precisely doesn't make sense. It's almost

601
00:46:48.236 --> 00:46:52.716
Speaker 1: precisely calibrated to happen in a
way that it's just outside or maybe way outside

602
00:46:52.756 --> 00:46:58.195
Speaker 1: what you believed was possible, in a
way that you definitely didn't believe, or it

603
00:46:58.276 --> 00:47:03.336
Speaker 1: triggers your own insecurities or is
related to your own fears. It is the exact

604
00:47:03.396 --> 00:47:07.956
Speaker 1: thing [chuckles] you didn't want to
see or experience. Uh, but not necessarily in a

605
00:47:08.076 --> 00:47:11.376
Speaker 1: scary way, or there will be
properties about it that don't make sense that
bother

606
00:47:11.436 --> 00:47:16.536
Speaker 1: you. So it's frustrating or it's
confusing. And the reason it is that way is
because

607
00:47:17.336 --> 00:47:21.776
Speaker 1: you're being shaken. Like, "Hey, pay
attention. You can't ignore this." That's the

608
00:47:21.836 --> 00:47:27.096
Speaker 1: idea. The whole thing is designed to
be something you can't ignore, so you'll take

609
00:47:27.136 --> 00:47:32.116
Speaker 1: it seriously. So just know that that
will happen, and these are common properties of

610
00:47:32.176 --> 00:47:36.936
Speaker 1: any of these experiences, is it's
either dumb, it doesn't make sense, like in a
way

611
00:47:36.976 --> 00:47:41.296
Speaker 1: that is like, this is impossible, but
also silly. Like, [chuckles] there's no wa...

612
00:47:41.956 --> 00:47:45.956
Speaker 1: I went to sleep the other night, and
as I was trying to fall asleep or taking a nap,

613
00:47:46.296 --> 00:47:50.096
Speaker 1: I heard like a baby whining. Just l-
just one sound effect, and I'm like, "What is

614
00:47:50.156 --> 00:47:54.856
Speaker 1: this?" This has no relevance in my
life, and nothing baby-related has happened
since

615
00:47:54.896 --> 00:47:59.796
Speaker 1: then. It's like, why? [chuckles] Just
because. I don't know. Who knows?

616
00:48:00.776 --> 00:48:04.236
Speaker 1: Because it could. It's almost like a,
"Eh, bet you didn't think this could happen."

617
00:48:04.996 --> 00:48:09.096
Speaker 1: Um, the reason that happens is it
sticks in your mind. It keeps you going. It
keeps

618
00:48:09.136 --> 00:48:13.636
Speaker 1: you questioning, like, "That wasn't
possible, right?" That is a fundamental property

619
00:48:13.656 --> 00:48:18.456
Speaker 1: of these experiences. Don't be
surprised by that. You should be expecting it.

620
00:48:20.356 --> 00:48:23.656
Speaker 1: Anything else to cover?

621
00:48:26.136 --> 00:48:30.896
Speaker 1: I think, again, support, super
important. Um,

622
00:48:32.056 --> 00:48:38.016
Speaker 1: intention is just directed,
purposeful energy with attention. Um-

623
00:48:38.940 --> 00:48:43.040
Speaker 1: You can, that's more or less deciding
what's going to happen for you, what, what

624
00:48:43.060 --> 00:48:46.840
Speaker 1: direction your growth is going. Um,
so just set an intention and take that

625
00:48:46.880 --> 00:48:50.800
Speaker 1: seriously. Um, that is your way to
write to the universe. Think of it as putting
out

626
00:48:50.840 --> 00:48:56.120
Speaker 1: your request to your, your deity,
your guides, or your higher self or whatever,
um,

627
00:48:56.300 --> 00:49:01.100
Speaker 1: to your soul, to, "I want these
lessons. I want these experiences," and mean it,
and

628
00:49:01.160 --> 00:49:05.380
Speaker 1: live it, and act accordingly, and
they will start to happen. And if they don't
start

629
00:49:05.420 --> 00:49:09.420
Speaker 1: to happen, you need to examine why
the thing happening in front of you is the right

630
00:49:09.460 --> 00:49:11.520
Speaker 1: lesson for you now. It is never the
wrong thing.

631
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:16.820
Speaker 1: Um, so of course, believing this is
possible. And just remember, this is just

632
00:49:16.900 --> 00:49:21.080
Speaker 1: self-development. Weird and amazing
and wonderful things just start happening.

633
00:49:21.580 --> 00:49:24.560
Speaker 1: [chuckles] It's just a side effect.
It seems like a side effect, but it's not. It's

634
00:49:24.600 --> 00:49:28.460
Speaker 1: increased awareness, and a lot of the
time it will seem like nothing is happening,

635
00:49:29.240 --> 00:49:34.020
Speaker 1: and sometimes it's like, bam, okay, I
guess I have improved or something has. My

636
00:49:34.060 --> 00:49:38.280
Speaker 1: awareness has definitely increased
because this is happening to me right now, and

637
00:49:38.340 --> 00:49:43.940
Speaker 1: it's not always obvious. Uh, it can
feel like nothing is happening for a long time,

638
00:49:44.940 --> 00:49:48.360
Speaker 1: far longer than you expected
possible, even though you're doing everything
right.

639
00:49:48.900 --> 00:49:53.760
Speaker 1: Uh, that can happen too. I will say
this is generally easier in groups, so if you

640
00:49:53.860 --> 00:49:56.160
Speaker 1: have people who are doing the same
thing, especially if they're physically

641
00:49:56.220 --> 00:50:01.780
Speaker 1: co-located, go to events like this.
Go do various psi training for like mindsight

642
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:05.820
Speaker 1: and telekinesis and other stuff. You
put these people all in the same room who are

643
00:50:05.920 --> 00:50:11.780
Speaker 1: all doing the same thing, it really
encourages you. Um, I recommend anything that

644
00:50:11.840 --> 00:50:17.720
Speaker 1: is free from dogma, uh, no culty
stuff. You don't need that. This is you. All you

645
00:50:17.780 --> 00:50:20.560
Speaker 1: need are the tools available to you
already. You just need yourself. You have

646
00:50:20.620 --> 00:50:23.680
Speaker 1: everything you need. But having
support and being around people who are doing
the

647
00:50:23.720 --> 00:50:29.080
Speaker 1: other thing, it's almost like when
you go together, it's much faster. It's not only

648
00:50:29.160 --> 00:50:34.140
Speaker 1: faster, but it's easier to believe.
There is an exponential multiplier the more

649
00:50:34.200 --> 00:50:39.700
Speaker 1: people you know. Um, and so the final
thing I'll also say is just like taking very

650
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:43.600
Speaker 1: seriously how you allow things to
influence in your life. You're going to need to

651
00:50:43.780 --> 00:50:47.980
Speaker 1: roll back. I can tell you right now,
your information diet needs to be almost zero.

652
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:53.220
Speaker 1: I don't listen to podcasts basically
ever. I don't read the news. I know nothing

653
00:50:53.280 --> 00:50:57.200
Speaker 1: about it. I don't listen to it.
[chuckles] I consume a little. Sometimes I'll
watch

654
00:50:57.260 --> 00:51:02.760
Speaker 1: movies. Um, not because I don't care.
I just don't feel the need to. That's another

655
00:51:02.780 --> 00:51:06.520
Speaker 1: thing that happens. You just don't
care about stuff. Your vices, they go away.

656
00:51:06.880 --> 00:51:11.000
Speaker 1: You're just happy. Like you're
content with almost anything. You know? It's,
you're

657
00:51:11.020 --> 00:51:16.760
Speaker 1: gon- You are best getting rid of
the... If something makes you feel bad, if you
feel

658
00:51:16.820 --> 00:51:20.680
Speaker 1: worse afterward than when you did it,
there's a very good chance that this is in the

659
00:51:20.720 --> 00:51:24.200
Speaker 1: way of what you're trying to do here,
and it is limiting you because you believe you

660
00:51:24.240 --> 00:51:29.860
Speaker 1: need it. That can be drugs. That can
be, uh, entertainment media. It doesn't have to

661
00:51:29.880 --> 00:51:33.380
Speaker 1: be. There's nothing wrong with those
things inherently, but why you do it is what's

662
00:51:33.420 --> 00:51:38.340
Speaker 1: important. And if it is a crutch, you
better believe that that crutch is either

663
00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:43.240
Speaker 1: gonna be kicked out from underneath
you or you will not progress, uh, until you are

664
00:51:43.280 --> 00:51:47.400
Speaker 1: willing to demonstrate that you don't
need these things anymore. And that ain't easy

665
00:51:47.440 --> 00:51:53.340
Speaker 1: to say. You don't like it? Well,
[chuckles] okay. You want control over your

666
00:51:53.380 --> 00:51:59.020
Speaker 1: reality. You want the gift of
everything. Do you want to be able to do
anything or

667
00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:02.460
Speaker 1: be anything? Like, I don't... I
assume that's where this goes. That's the
message I

668
00:52:02.520 --> 00:52:06.640
Speaker 1: got. [chuckles] Do you want that? You
wanna live in your little world where it's

669
00:52:06.680 --> 00:52:11.760
Speaker 1: like this, and you believe you can't
do things and, you know, you need a, you need

670
00:52:11.820 --> 00:52:16.220
Speaker 1: drugs or something else to unwind,
and nothing else is okay. There's no judgment on

671
00:52:16.280 --> 00:52:19.680
Speaker 1: that. You're gonna have to get rid of
self-judgment. You're gonna have to learn how

672
00:52:19.700 --> 00:52:23.380
Speaker 1: to stop beating yourself up and stop
blaming yourself. You have to be kinder to

673
00:52:23.440 --> 00:52:28.620
Speaker 1: yourself. All of, if it's not making
you feel better, that should be very

674
00:52:28.700 --> 00:52:32.720
Speaker 1: questionable. You should be happier
and feel better all the time. You should feel

675
00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:37.260
Speaker 1: more connected to your world, to your
own life, to the people in it. You lean in.

676
00:52:37.300 --> 00:52:40.560
Speaker 1: This is all a process of leaning into
your life. It's not leaning away and trying to

677
00:52:40.620 --> 00:52:46.100
Speaker 1: separate from it. You are
paradoxically leaning more into your life and
learning

678
00:52:47.640 --> 00:52:51.840
Speaker 1: more about your own attention.
You're, you're taking your internal state
seriously.

679
00:52:52.180 --> 00:52:55.120
Speaker 1: You're taking things seriously that
you can feel that you didn't take seriously

680
00:52:55.159 --> 00:53:00.320
Speaker 1: before, and you're learning to
discern. You're feeling more. You're leaning
into

681
00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:04.120
Speaker 1: your life, and through that process,
you begin to see what is real and what isn't,

682
00:53:04.340 --> 00:53:09.300
Speaker 1: what is you and what isn't, what's in
your control and what isn't. And these things

683
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:14.120
Speaker 1: all happen naturally as a process of
leaning into your life and improving it. Uh, so

684
00:53:14.200 --> 00:53:20.020
Speaker 1: that's pretty much it. That's all you
gotta do. It's not that complicated. Um,

685
00:53:20.800 --> 00:53:25.540
Speaker 1: you have the pieces you need already.
Hopefully, those things will help you along

686
00:53:25.600 --> 00:53:31.420
Speaker 1: the way, and of course, you have the
advantage of knowing that it works. [chuckles]

687
00:53:31.460 --> 00:53:37.140
Speaker 1: So that's cool. I mean, assuming you
buy, uh, my experiences and what they mean, uh,

688
00:53:37.300 --> 00:53:37.940
Speaker 1: I certainly do,

689
00:53:39.540 --> 00:53:43.640
Speaker 1: then you can do it too. There's
nothing fundamentally different about me
compared to

690
00:53:43.700 --> 00:53:48.200
Speaker 1: you. Like you've got the same
hardware that you need to do this, and if you do
it

691
00:53:48.240 --> 00:53:52.300
Speaker 1: with others, it will go faster. Uh,
if you do it seriously, you do it intently,

692
00:53:52.780 --> 00:53:54.760
Speaker 1: you're serious about removing things
from your life and

693
00:53:56.340 --> 00:54:00.560
Speaker 1: changing yourself in a positive,
healthy way to feel better, to feel more
connected

694
00:54:00.600 --> 00:54:04.000
Speaker 1: to the world around you, to be more
at peace, to be happier no matter what is

695
00:54:04.060 --> 00:54:04.640
Speaker 1: happening to you,

696
00:54:06.180 --> 00:54:09.920
Speaker 1: this stuff will just start happening,
and it will keep happening as long as you

697
00:54:09.980 --> 00:54:14.680
Speaker 1: continue doing the work that got you
there. If you stop doing the work or you stop

698
00:54:14.720 --> 00:54:19.060
Speaker 1: believing it, it will close, and it
will stop happening, and you'll stop growing.

699
00:54:20.180 --> 00:54:24.600
Speaker 1: Uh, so the last thing I'll say is
that you need to be prepared to be weird. If

700
00:54:24.620 --> 00:54:25.840
Speaker 1: that's not already obvious,

701
00:54:27.360 --> 00:54:32.080
Speaker 1: you should be prepared to feel
different than the people around you. But of
course,

702
00:54:32.160 --> 00:54:36.800
Speaker 1: as this happens, you're going to feel
compassionate, and you're gonna feel sorry for

703
00:54:36.840 --> 00:54:42.560
Speaker 1: them. Do not... As you gain these
insights, you're going to feel out of place. You

704
00:54:42.640 --> 00:54:46.140
Speaker 1: need to have a community somewhere
online somehow. You need to talk to somebody.
You

705
00:54:46.180 --> 00:54:50.872
Speaker 1: need to not feel alone in this.
Because it can be very isolating, and you may
feel

706
00:54:50.932 --> 00:54:56.332
Speaker 1: the desire to talk to people who
aren't ready for this. It is my belief, and,

707
00:54:57.272 --> 00:55:02.972
Speaker 1: uh, it is the beliefs of the
[chuckles] the people that I s- I've talked to
and had

708
00:55:03.012 --> 00:55:07.532
Speaker 1: interactions with that, and is
evident in my own, you know, curriculum. In

709
00:55:07.592 --> 00:55:11.712
Speaker 1: retrospect, I didn't know for a long
time that there was a curriculum, but y- you

710
00:55:11.732 --> 00:55:17.572
Speaker 1: can see a path in retrospect of
assisted growth, that you cannot push

711
00:55:17.632 --> 00:55:22.312
Speaker 1: something onto somebody that they're
not ready for. If they don't want this, first

712
00:55:22.352 --> 00:55:26.012
Speaker 1: of all, it's wrong to shatter their
worldview. I don't walk up to people and show

713
00:55:26.052 --> 00:55:30.912
Speaker 1: that I can see without my eyeballs
because it could really harm them if they're not

714
00:55:30.972 --> 00:55:35.992
Speaker 1: ready for that, and it could really
damage this whole enterprise. And, um,

715
00:55:36.912 --> 00:55:40.152
Speaker 1: socially speaking, if you really want
people to turn against you [chuckles] and say,

716
00:55:40.192 --> 00:55:45.132
Speaker 1: "This is wrong," uh, that would be a
good way to do it, is to terrify them without

717
00:55:45.172 --> 00:55:48.572
Speaker 1: giving them the context of, "No,
seriously, like, you can do this," like helping

718
00:55:48.592 --> 00:55:53.112
Speaker 1: them through it. But generally
speaking, if somebody isn't already interested,

719
00:55:53.271 --> 00:55:57.352
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to feel it out.
You're just gonna have to let them be. Don't try

720
00:55:57.392 --> 00:56:01.932
Speaker 1: to fix other people, and don't try to
like [chuckles] don't try to blow the doors

721
00:56:02.012 --> 00:56:06.632
Speaker 1: off and get, force them through it
because it is wrong, and it doesn't work, and it

722
00:56:06.652 --> 00:56:10.072
Speaker 1: will cause them to shut down, and
you're just going to traumatize them because
they

723
00:56:10.112 --> 00:56:14.992
Speaker 1: don't have the same tools to recover
and make sense of what's happening to them that

724
00:56:15.052 --> 00:56:18.772
Speaker 1: you are developing. So you're just
hurting them. You're hurting them, and you're

725
00:56:18.792 --> 00:56:22.272
Speaker 1: also hurting this whole enterprise.
You're making it harder for other people to talk

726
00:56:22.332 --> 00:56:26.992
Speaker 1: about this because they're gonna
demonize it. So if you don't wanna do that, and
you

727
00:56:27.032 --> 00:56:30.192
Speaker 1: want it to be a beautiful thing to
figure out who you are and explore the nature of

728
00:56:30.232 --> 00:56:36.152
Speaker 1: your own reality and big questions
and connect beyond yourself, then

729
00:56:36.232 --> 00:56:42.032
Speaker 1: don't make us look bad. [chuckles]
And don't, don't scare people who aren't

730
00:56:42.072 --> 00:56:47.792
Speaker 1: ready for it. But at the same time,
one of the most important things you can do to

731
00:56:47.872 --> 00:56:51.292
Speaker 1: superchar- supercharge this whole
process, besides being yourself and doing what
you

732
00:56:51.352 --> 00:56:56.352
Speaker 1: feel is right, surprise, surprise,
[chuckles] and improving yourself, is helping

733
00:56:56.432 --> 00:57:02.332
Speaker 1: other people do the same or in any
way. And of course, as you feel more and

734
00:57:02.392 --> 00:57:06.292
Speaker 1: care more and notice more, you're
naturally gonna wanna help people. You're al- if

735
00:57:06.312 --> 00:57:09.672
Speaker 1: you're already following your
intuition, you're gonna want to start doing it
because

736
00:57:09.712 --> 00:57:13.912
Speaker 1: you care more and because you feel
connected to them. And then eventually, you
start

737
00:57:13.952 --> 00:57:18.872
Speaker 1: to feel that you're, like, you're the
same person. You're more than just connected.

738
00:57:18.932 --> 00:57:24.132
Speaker 1: Like, on some level, we are the same,
and you want to help them. It just makes

739
00:57:24.192 --> 00:57:26.952
Speaker 1: sense. It's obvious. Not only do you
not wanna hurt them anymore, or you don't care

740
00:57:27.012 --> 00:57:30.252
Speaker 1: about negative stuff. You don't even
wanna entertain it anymore 'cause you can feel

741
00:57:30.292 --> 00:57:35.372
Speaker 1: it affecting you. You want to help
people that are in a bad place. So

742
00:57:36.192 --> 00:57:39.972
Speaker 1: that is totally cool. Go do that
every time you feel it. And you're gonna have to

743
00:57:40.012 --> 00:57:44.552
Speaker 1: learn how to do that, but don't, um,
don't try to force, however excited you might

744
00:57:44.612 --> 00:57:48.732
Speaker 1: be, don't try to force this on other
people. You're either gonna traumatize them, or

745
00:57:48.752 --> 00:57:51.392
Speaker 1: you're gonna scare them off. You're
gonna give them things they're not ready for.

746
00:57:52.572 --> 00:57:56.892
Speaker 1: And the whole, whole process is just
enough. This is like working out. You don't

747
00:57:56.912 --> 00:58:00.352
Speaker 1: wanna drop 1,000 pounds on top of
somebody's head. They're [chuckles] not gonna
get

748
00:58:00.432 --> 00:58:04.032
Speaker 1: strong like that. They're gonna get
crippled, and they're gonna get scared, and

749
00:58:04.072 --> 00:58:07.952
Speaker 1: you're gonna mess them up. So don't
do that. Um, you don't have to keep it to

750
00:58:07.992 --> 00:58:12.052
Speaker 1: yourself, but just be aware of what
you're doing and how it affects others. And with

751
00:58:12.112 --> 00:58:17.992
Speaker 1: that, uh, you know, send me a message
with your mind one day. Be polite. Maybe I'll

752
00:58:18.032 --> 00:58:23.512
Speaker 1: say hey [chuckles] if I know how to
do it, if I get it. Um, good luck, and, uh,

753
00:58:24.392 --> 00:58:30.152
Speaker 1: have fun. Just remember that this is
a profound and personal experience. It is, um,

754
00:58:31.232 --> 00:58:36.292
Speaker 1: don't be greedy. Share it when you
can, and, uh, be good.

755
00:58:37.332 --> 00:58:42.212
Speaker 1: That's the whole point because it's
all just you anyway, so you're only hurting

756
00:58:42.252 --> 00:58:44.432
Speaker 1: yourself otherwise. Have fun.
