Your Untapped Potential Is Waiting To Be Discovered

Speaker 2: Thank you. Speaker 1: Welcome back to the spiritual grind. Speaker 2: Grinding it out, baby , grinding it out Good morning. Speaker 1: Good morning everybody. Hope you're having an awesome day and we appreciate you tuning in and listening. We have a great topic today. Speaker 2: Tune in and turn on. Tune in Wait a minute. Speaker 1: Oh, that's not it. I was going to say touch me, turn me on and burn me down. That's the wrong thing. Speaker 2: I think your tuner is off. That a dwight yocum song your auto tuner's off just a little bit well, okay, I've got a good topic for today do tell it's gonna be a fun one, I think it's gonna be a fun one in light of our recent events. Speaker 1: I have discovered that my beautiful, lovely wife has a new talent. Speaker 2: It's not a new talent really, it's just not one I've shared. Speaker 1: Well, it's a discovered talent that you found . Speaker 2: Not really. I can remember as a small child writing things. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And my teachers being always quite pleased. Speaker 1: Great. So, but the topic of the day is are we allowing ourselves to discover the talents that we have? Are we stuck in a rut? We do have more talents. Speaker 2: Stuck in a rut. Speaker 1: And you know, because we have a Move your butt. We're so habitual people that we have a tendency to get stuck in the same thing, doing the same things, and not discovering what our inner talents are. We, you know, if we don't try things, we don't know. Speaker 2: I would agree with that a hundred percent. Speaker 1: And for me it's really eye opening. Speaker 2: Do tell. Speaker 1: Well, you know well, I've started writing this book and you discovered the app to write the book on yes, writing I . Speaker 2: It's quite enjoyable. I have had immense fun with it over the last couple of days. Speaker 1: Yeah, as I am exploring that new enjoyment, I mean it's so, for it's kind of eye-opening, because I too have always been that guy that could write pretty elaborate stories and be what do you say? Speaker 2: I was looking to see if there was a Kleenex in that box, because before we started, remember, I said my nose is stuffy and your cat took them all out and used them all. Speaker 1: It's empty Because the cat was playing Whoa whoa, whoa, for sure, okay. But the new discovery part of it. It's so eye-opening for me because it's allowing me to say, hmm, what else am I good at that? I don't know. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Because I've always been able to write stories and I was always really good at being very detailed. Speaker 2: Right. Speaker 1: And my description is back in the day and I quit exercising that. Speaker 2: I feel like I do it, and I sometimes will overdo it. I've got to the point where, even when I'm speaking, I'll ask the person when they ask my question do you want to know how to build the clock, or you just want to know what time it is? Speaker 1: yeah, you are definitely an oversharer sometimes I don't want to. Speaker 2: I don't want to leave any details out. Speaker 1: It's like sometimes you, you will uh, oh no, sometimes you will uh you gotta put money in the uh phone, not off jar I heard yours go off too in the background. Speaker 2: It's not even in here you still. It still went off in the phone, not off jar. Speaker 1: I heard yours go off too, in the background. It's not even in here, you still. It still went off. The part of it that really this morning for me was kind of really just a cool moment is. It put me into a thought of man , what have I missed out on? You know, I've always been a great artist. I can draw quite well, I can sculpt, I can do a lot of different things. Speaker 2: I would agree with that 100%. You are very talented. Speaker 1: And I've always thought about writing a book. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: And I get told at least once a week you should write a book. Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you've been talking about how you're doing some research and getting ready, and getting ready and getting ready for this book. Speaker 1: And the crazy part about it is, you know, I actually thought about writing a children's book and I was like, because that was the most traumatic part of my life, was my childhood, because that was the most traumatic part of my life was my childhood being raised with parents that muggle parents Muggle. Speaker 2: What's that mean? Yeah, so on Harry Potter, if you have no magical talents, you're called a muggle, and so when your parents don't really identify, everybody has these air quote special gifts, like intuition, you know, being able to channel. Everybody has the opportunity to embrace any one of the things that we have the ability to do and have developed those skills. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: It's whether they choose to work with them or not. Speaker 1: I agree. Speaker 2: And so for you on your path. Your parents did not choose to open up to that side of the world. Speaker 1: Or did I mean? They didn't choose to open up to anything, they were just repetitive. And I'm not, I'm not on here to bash my parents. They did the best they could without the head. Speaker 2: No but it can. Speaker 1: All I was saying not in a bashing way. Speaker 2: I was just saying as a child who is open to the special gifts or these abilities Pinch poke, pinch poke. It can be a bit of a challenge as a child. Speaker 1: Yes. Speaker 2: Figuring out on your own what the hell it is, and then how to deal with it. Speaker 1: Well, and then being stifled a lot by everybody. Speaker 2: It wasn't just my parents, it was everybody that stifled you, except for my grandfather Right because in our age time frame that we were in, which was the early 70s, when we were born, the whole concept of awakening and higher self and all of that that we live in now was still very hidden and not well understood and not well accepted at all. Correct If you were a child who had the ability to know that the phone was going to ring before it rang and you revealed that to the adults, they wanted to put you in the cuckoo house. Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I agree , I had many things that used to come to mind and I would say something and they I mean, it's almost like the beauty is being bad. Speaker 2: Right the bad. Speaker 1: Why do you have thoughts like that? Speaker 2: Right, why don't you weirdo? Speaker 1: You know, and so you get to where you suppress yourself. Speaker 2: Why am I the anomaly? Speaker 1: And so I used to go hide in the closet and practice my stuff I did. Speaker 2: Harry Potter under the stairs. Speaker 1: You'd hear the footsteps going through the house, with them looking for me and yelling at me, and I'd be in the closet practicing my stuff. But the cool part about it is, this morning what came to mind is all the things that over the years, I have been taught to stifle and to hold back and to not be who I am, and and it was very freeing this morning to start doing that- Nice. And so you know, my question to our listeners are are you giving yourself time to self discover, to discover what it is that you may want to have fun doing? Speaker 2: Or even permission. Speaker 1: Yeah, give yourself the permission. You know we always talk about permission slips, but giving yourself the permission to be something different that you are , that you've always wanted to do or be, yeah, and try it. What's it going to hurt? Right, and removing the fears, the negative beliefs that have been taught to you. Speaker 2: Or what are they going to think about me if I? Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, get them out of the way. Speaker 2: Junk that crap in the trash. Speaker 1: You know, and the bad part about it is the world and society stifled this of all these children and all these people that have these intuitions and gifts until probably here, about 10 or 12 years ago, when it became a intellectual curiosity for people and then they started allowing things on tv, you know, I mean like the long, I mean long island medium, and the crazy part about it is is the government's been studying it for years, for 50 years, right right on yeah, 70 years now actually, because they started in 1951. Speaker 2: They actually. I believe the newest date was in the 20s. Speaker 1: In the 20s. Speaker 2: Yeah, the latest document that I read that has been what do you call it when the government shares something Declassified? Declassified, yeah, showed evidence that they've actually been studying it as far back as the 20s. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Some of the concepts you know, like remote viewing and whatever. Yeah, a lot of the indigenous people of the United States have been practicing remote viewing for many years. Oh yeah. Speaker 1: And intuition, and they practice their power of energy, you know, but they do it in their own way and, like the medicine men and the chiefs would get visions and they would share those and that's how they would literally guide their tribe. Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean those cultures for their entire existence. That's what they did, that's how they maneuvered life and as a species, we definitely came away from that, that's what they did. That's how they maneuvered life and as a species we definitely came away from that. And now we're coming full circle, back to the fact of becoming more self-aware, of attuning to that way of life again, right. Attuning to that way of life, again right. We kind of went uh unconscious for a little while and stopped practicing what our ancestors practiced on a regular basis as a normal routine, correct? You know, understanding your own energy, understanding your own, what we are now calling unique gifts or special talents. Those were the norm back then I agree because they didn't have tv to distract them. They didn't have cell phones. Speaker 1: They didn't have land newspapers, social media news. Speaker 2: They didn't have all the electronic distractions and even though it's great and wonderful to evolve and see that evolution, it's exciting what it did, unfortunately, is it took us away from what our ancestors were living as a normal life and put us kind of in an unawakened state again temporarily. Speaker 1: You know the kind of touch on that a little bit is. You know, we have religions and we have all these things that practice and society teaches us. You know that God created man and all this other stuff. You know, I don't necessarily fall into the to the belief that this God came out of the sky and waved his hand and created the human race. I think you know that we were created. Yes, do I think that there's a higher power up there? Yes, but is it a godlike substance? Is it a extraterrestrial? What is this? And we have been taught over the years to stifle that because it's the unknown. And we stifle our intuition and our abilities that we've been given because we don't know what we're a hybrid of or what we could be a part of. And when we stifle, when we stifle our natural abilities, it weakens us. And so, over throughout the years, as we grow and we expand, we are still trying to. What are you doing? Or still trying to? What are you doing? I'm sorry, I'm stuck on the stifling stifle, siphoning, what Did I say it wrong? Stifling, I don't think is a word. Yeah, it is a word. Speaker 2: Stifling. Speaker 1: Yes, stifled. Okay, and what's wrong with the Jamesism? We use Jenny-ism all the time and so, you know, throughout the years we go through all this and we hold ourselves back and that weakens that ability. And then, when you rediscover it, you're like oh, and now you've got to redevelop it again to bring it back to its time. And it's a very fun journey. Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're right. Listen, I mean, you get off the stipend thing. I'm off of it. I just wanted to chuckle. You're completely right. If you don't use it it will kind of go dormant If you don't practice it. Some of them you know, like the mediumship and your intuition. If you ignore it, then it kind of just lays in the background quiet, or your ability to have visions or, um, you know, even being able to move stuff with your mind or tap in and connect with each other and be able to read each other's mind or the, the frequency of that thought. You got to practice those things and make them a part of your daily life in order to keep them moving and fresh and and practiced. Otherwise they do get kind of dormant and rusty Right. Speaker 1: You know, as we grow and we evolve and we do things as humans it's great to do and it's great to be um to expand our horizons in our and you know give back to the collective consciousness as we learn what we have to keep in contact with our true, natural selves. Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if you want a reality that seems like it is in flow all the time and feels good and is, you know, full of serendipitous experiences and full of excitement and elation, and just feel good, calm, less chaos, then you have to try and keep your frequency as close to your normal natural frequency as possible. And how do you do that? Speaker 1: Right, well, that's staying in contact with it. You have to practice it, you have to allow it to be there. Speaker 2: Right by, just inch, by inch, doing that next thing that is the most enjoyable, without expectation of what it has to look like, and that helps you find that frequency again and again and again, which is my definition of practice. Speaker 1: So here's a, and you have to do this and allow yourself to do the things that feel natural and have fun, no matter what anybody says, like the other day in my class. Speaker 2: And no matter how they feel. Speaker 1: How they feel about it. Yeah. Speaker 2: Sometimes, when you do something, what will pop up is the awkwardness, and then you give it a definition of oh my God, that was so childish. Why did I do that? Yeah, it was awkward and uncomfortable and childish. I'm never doing that again. And that comes from, you know, unfortunately our parental figures saying stop being childish. Speaker 1: Well, that's society too. Speaker 2: Right, and so giving yourself the freedom to be childish. Speaker 1: Right. Speaker 2: Play with fairies, play with imaginary friends, color. I color every day. Speaker 1: So, like you know what's funny about this, you do? You actually own your iPad, I do. The other day, in my energy class, when we were talking about staying optimistic and positive, and and I said something, and one of the people in my class looked at me and said how do you? How did you know what I was thinking, or whatever? And I said, well, that's just a guided thought, you know. And it's just a guided thought that I translated to you and she was like what? And I said well, you know what you're doing is you're sitting there thinking about because I'm reading too and so I'm getting the little visuals in my head. I said you're sitting there thinking about how you're. You believe that your doctor diagnosed you with a chemical imbalance and so being positive is impossible. And and then I walked over to her and I said do you believe? With that she and she, she showed me her pad and she had actually written almost that word for word, verbatim yeah and I said that's just a guided thought. So you expect me to believe that people are given information that that communicate to me? I said, yes, oh, that's just a guided thought. So you expect me to believe that people are giving information that communicate to me? I said, yes, oh, that's hogwash . I was like, okay, have you ever had deja vu? Well, yeah, doesn't everybody. Speaker 2: Well, you can wash your hog if you want to. You want me to get you some soap. Speaker 1: And she says, well, doesn't everybody? I said, yeah, so what is deja vu? Oh, um, it's where I I had dreamed about something and then I lived it. I rest my case. And she was like what I said? What? What? Are you a time traveler, are you, or do you? Do you get visions of what's going to happen in the future? Speaker 2: oh, I love those oh moments when you're teaching someone a concept and you get that light bulb. Speaker 1: Oh, I said do you remember getting deja vu moments a lot more when you were younger? And she says yeah, I remember in high school I used to get them all the time in middle school. I was like, so what's changed? I don't know, you've been taught yes, you do know your societal, your society, your beliefs. Speaker 2: You're right look at your notepad. You know the answer. Speaker 1: You wrote it down right there you're, you're taught that, that this stuff is not real, but there's. You know, in every conspiracy theory, in everything there is some kind of truth, and your government now is trying to tell you there's truth in all this. Speaker 2: Right. Speaker 1: That's why they released these documents. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: And there's some kind of truth in everything. And so the the question is is are you going to allow yourself to be relaxed within it and bring those old talents back? Because you just admitted to me that you had a dream about something that was going to happen. It happened, and when it did happen, you're like, oh, this is deja vu, and so you have a talent right there that we're talking about in this. And so when you believe what you've been taught, it hinders those natural abilities, those natural instincts and getting up in the morning and being positive. You natural instincts and getting up in the morning and being positive. You are hindered by society because somebody taught you that you can't be positive because you have some random chemical imbalance in your body. Speaker 2: And tell me what blood tests they run? for that and the unfortunate thing is how the whole mechanism works is the belief that you have a chemical imbalance which prevents you from having these abilities actually will inadvertently create a chemical imbalance and it will put you in a almost loop-like existence where you're just kind of like dog chasing tail round and round until you become aware of it and decide that enough is enough . I am gonna. I've learned what I want to learn from that. I'm done with that and either release or reprogram that belief and allow yourself to be an evolved individual and have a different experience. Speaker 1: Right, you know I went into that process of so tell me when you got diagnosed with this chemical imbalance imbalance. And I said if you're willing to share it in front of everybody? And she's like, yeah, um, she said I was in high school. I said, okay, so how did he? How did this doctor diagnose you with a chemical imbalance? And she said, well, he just. He said well, uh, you have a chemical imbalance and we're going to, we're going to give you this medicine that'll help your body balance out. I said so, um, how did he know you have a chemical imbalance? Did he do a blood test on you? Did he what? How did he? And what are your normal balances? What is your chemical imbalance ? I said do you ever think that? Perhaps Did he have you stand on one leg and if you fell over, hop up and down? Speaker 2: right, oh God, you're imbalanced. Your chemicals are heavier on one side than the other. Speaker 1: And he are heavier on one side than the other. And she said so you're saying my doctor lied to me? I'm like no, I'm not saying your doctor lied to you. I'm just saying that your doctor is working based off the education that he has and he's instructing you, which in none of this stuff you've actually done your own research. You haven't done any of the research on it, because there is no way that somebody can look at somebody and say oh, they have a chemical imbalance. Speaker 2: Well, there is a way, but most people don't practice it. Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I mean, but once again, that's another talent you're about to bring up. Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, I mean you did it with her. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: By utilizing some of your abilities, you know you can look at people's energy, their aura. Of your abilities, you know you can look at people's energy, their aura. I can feel certain parts of the physical body. I can smell certain disease processes like a damn dog, I agree. So there is ways to do it, and our ancestors, I mean what do you think they did when they got sick? Speaker 1: Native Americans didn't. They didn't have x-ray. Speaker 2: No, they didn't have freaking CT scan or MRIs. Speaker 1: Right. Speaker 2: They had to utilize those scales as a normal part of their life. Speaker 1: Agreed. Speaker 2: They had to be able to see a person's aura or feel their energy or smell their odors oh yeah, I know in this the, the, as we continue on in this conversation. Speaker 1: She said so you know, do you? So your doctor is lying? I mean, my doctor is lying to me. I'm like no he's just working on the education he's that he's had and he's telling you these things. So let me ask you this did the medicine make you feel better? Speaker 2: no, it made me a zombie are you wanting to eat my face off? Speaker 1: right, I'm like she's like no, it just made me really draggy and and then, and then he reduced it and he changed it and went through this whole process. I'm like, so he's, he's basically throwing a ball up in the air and swinging a bat at it . Speaker 2: Swinging a miss. Speaker 1: And she says well, I guess. I said so. Is your medicine right now? Is it everything? Do you feel better? And she said no. And I said so. You've been taking this stuff for 50 years and you don't feel better. Does that make any sense? I said do you know what a chemical imbalance is? The definition of a chemical imbalance? No, I said I can tell you what it is. It's a medical billing code so they can get paid. Speaker 2: I mean, you've been dealing with this for how many years? And you've not even stopped to look at the definition of the diagnosis you were given. Right, I said it's about money. Speaker 1: This is about money for the masses, and what we're getting into here is you're stifling yourself, because most of the time when people have those ADHD diagnoses and all this stuff, it can be situational. And I gave her an example of when I started not feeling good here a couple of years ago and the doctor was word again about putting me on a blood pressure medicine and it was completely situational. Yeah, and if I would have got on that medicine, my body would have reacted and the side effects would have changed my body structure and my makeup. And here it is now I have perfect blood pressure, right. Speaker 2: Do your own research Correct. I think that's a key thing when you're talking about modern medicine or herbal medicine is is it is okay. you know, this is the one thing I preach to everybody it is okay to be your own doctor yeah and work in conjunction with modern medicine or herbal medicine, not let that be the dictating factor of just following it blindly. You know, if they're going to put you on a medication, make sure that your beliefs and your energy resonate with it and that your body actually wants it. And be your own advocate and check in with and get to know your body actually wants it. And be your own advocate and check in with and get to know your body, because if your body doesn't want it and you don't accept it, you won't get any benefit out of it. It won't make you feel better because the frequencies are different. Speaker 1: That's right. Speaker 2: Medication is just a frequency permission slip, basically. Anyways, you know that's right, feel good when you couldn't do that without the Advil. If you couldn't, then placebos wouldn't exist. Speaker 1: Right. Speaker 2: So we'll throw that in the mix of aha moments. Yes, there's many, many studies out there, if you care to explore that, where they actually had better effects from the placebo than they did from the actual medication. Speaker 1: And why is that? Because people believe they could get better. Speaker 2: No, I'll tell you why . Because whenever you introduce a placebo and you have the intentionality behind it that it is going to cure this thing and it has no underlying defining factor of what it is and what it has to be in a confined box, then it has the freedom to become anything and any frequency that it needs to become to make the patient feel better. So a placebo has not been given any intention, any defining factor. As a matter of fact, it it's been given the. It's not the actual medicine, so let's put it in there and let's see what the effects are. That's a pretty open-ended statement which gives the placebo the ability to take on whatever frequency. So it goes into the body and the body says, okay, well, for this particular element, we need support in this area, which may just be additional healing energy, or it may actually be a mineral, an amino acid, a vitamin, and it can actually change the energetic structure of that placebo to be able to utilize it and support the body in that area, to boost it to the level of being able to do its job in a more efficient and effective way. And that is the rabbit hole, ladies and gentlemen, of the concept of placebo. Speaker 1: And it does follow. Can I get an applause? Well, oh, oh, excuse me. Thank you, give applause where applause is due I know you're supposed to ask for applause um of course you are, and this does fall under this falls under the self-discovery stuff that we're just talking about. Is all this stuff we're talking about is the trap that we caught up in that stifens our human experience. Right, and I used that word again, didn't I? Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay. That's the word of the day. Yeah. Speaker 1: No, the word of the day is bad, but it is becoming very vapid, vapid. Yeah, it is becoming very vapid . Is it vapid or vapid? Speaker 2: It's vapid. Speaker 1: Vapid. What a vapid conversation. Anyway, the so in the continuing this conversation with her, um, you know we were kind of talking about self-discovery and I said and you've the way it makes you feel Because if you read the side effects on 99% of the steps you're being given, it's actually can imitate the actual symptoms they're trying to treat . Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm . That's what I'm uh, mean by. You know, when we give a medication, somebody, somewhere, has already decided what the medicine's going to do. That intention, that energetic frequency of intention, has already been set in this pill, for example, and they've already decided what the reactions or possible reactions from people is going to be. So that's already set in place and pre-recorded, if you will, inside of this pill. So when you see the commercial or you get the packet of information on this medication, from your doctor who you have put on a very high pedestal. He is the all-knowing Wizard of Oz. Speaker 1: Because they have that DR in front of their name, they know everything. Speaker 2: Right, the Wizard of Oz of my life, my medical journey, that I'm just going to blindly listen to whatever he says. Unfortunately, what that does is that it opens up your belief system mechanism to take on whatever belief he has about the medication or the collective has acquired about the medication. So you're taking on a belief that's not even yours. That's correct which is heavy baggage Anything that is not yours, that you adopt from someplace else, someone else, becomes very heavy baggage, and so you basically have adopted his belief, which is a culmination of other patients. Whoever they studied, ten million patients had this symptom. Speaker 1: Yes. Speaker 2: You're carrying ten million pieces of luggage when you take on that belief. Yeah, and that is heavy shit when you take on that belief. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And that is heavy shit. Speaker 1: So no wonder you're tired, yeah, no wonder you're exhausted. Yes. Speaker 2: You're carrying around a lot of other people's baggage. Speaker 1: You know, I had a very wise person tell me one time and this kind of changed my perspective. I always, for many years, doubted a lot of this stuff that we've been told and I had a very good—. Speaker 2: What stuff just to clarify the spiritual stuff or the medical? Speaker 1: stuff, all of it. The societal type believes that people can have intuition, the medical stuff that doctors know all, because it always amazed me by the way that a doctor comes in and sees you and diagnoses you right there just sitting at a table by listening to your breathing and your heart. Never once do they pick up a book because they remember everything. I guess you know there's like what is there 79 million medical encyclopedias and they remember all of it yeah, it's a class. It's called memory 101 no, never once have I ever had a doctor go. Hang on, you know, let me go, let me go. Uh, memory 101. No-transcript. They always say oh no, you have syphaginohepiates, because these are your symptoms and I know you have it. So you're going to take these four pills three times a day and then on the fifth day, you're going to take these six pills. Speaker 2: Guadalampahampa. Speaker 1: Yeah, you're going to take this pill called Guadalampahampa. They have never once go out and say let me go look at this for a minute Cause I'm not quite sure, and be you know. Instead they, they just pop it right off. Speaker 2: Right, I mean you know we would love to get to a place of um. You know co creation. Speaker 1: Yeah, co-discovery yeah. Speaker 2: You bring your knowledge to the table. I'll bring my knowledge to the table and together let's figure out which is. You know I'm going to plug myself at this point, which is what I do. Speaker 1: I bring my knowledge from working with thousands and thousands of clients and patients in the medical field and patients in the medical field that I retired from and my Akashic record abilities. Speaker 2: I bring all of that knowledge to the table because I work with those skills and abilities on a daily basis, on a daily basis, many times a day. But I don't bring you into the office and say the Wizard of Oz has spoken, this is what's wrong with you I. I come into that as a co-creator and I expect the client to participate. You're the one that's lived with your body, for you know 10, 15, 20, 50, 80 years. You know your body better than I do. You know what works for you better than I do. You just may not be aware of it . Speaker 1: Right. Speaker 2: So I bring about the awareness, along with any of the knowledges, experiences that I have to share, and then I leave it up to them to pick and choose , kind of on a cart. Speaker 1: What? Speaker 2: resonates with them and their frequency and give them permission basically to go out and try this regimen of abc 123 or this regimen of, you know , xyz 45, 55, 27, right, 45, 55, 27, right. That took a lot of that, took a lot of that, took a lot out of me Exertion. Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I could tell. Speaker 2: It almost looked like you were pooping when you said it. Maybe I just had gas. I did eat beans and rice for supper. Anyway, you get the concept of what I'm trying to say. And we work together to figure out things that you can go out and explore and try that bring about a better feeling place. Speaker 1: And it's all done through self-discovery. Speaker 2: Of course always. Speaker 1: And you know, to prove what you just said, you know my son was born with eczema . He had the infantile eczema or whatever Eggs, and he had those red spots all over him and they would itch and he would scratch. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: And then I took him to the dermatologist, pediatric dermatologist, and they put him on this cream. Well, the cream burned. Speaker 2: Yeah, of course it does. He didn't like it. Speaker 1: And so one day after school I was like you know, I am not going to put this cream on him anymore because he screams every time I put it on. Obviously his body does not like it, Right. And so I went down to Dollar General and I bought a pack of Smarties. And I bought a pack of Smarties and I took the Smarties out of the package and I got one of his old prescription bottles and I dumped those out and got rid of them and I put the Smarties in this prescription bottle and he would come home from school and I'd say, well, how are you doing today? And he'd be like, Daddy, I'm not itching today, or Daddy, I am itching today, because that's what it was. It wasn't so much that the eczema bothered him, but he would itch and they would get infected. Speaker 2: Right Itch and then the skin would break open and then that would get. Speaker 1: And you know, little boys, they don't, they don't bathe like they should and dirty , and so, and I told him this one day I he came home and he's like, daddy, I'm itching today. I'm like, oh great, because I went to your doctor today and he gave me this new medicine and, uh, and I don't know that he had ever ate smarties. But all I know is I took one of my other bottle and I gave him a little cup of water in it and then he, he took it down and I said, well, let's just see how this goes. This is what the doctor said the newest thing on the market and he said it down and I said, well, let's just see how this goes. This is what the doctor said, the newest thing on the market and he said, well, that's kind of sweet, daddy. I'm like, yeah, I know. I said, I guess they make it taste good for your kids. So you know, and he was like, okay, and like two, three days later he's coming back because every day after school he started taking one. Speaker 2: Right, that tastes really good yeah. Speaker 1: So he would come to me right after school and he'd be like Daddy time to take my medicine, doctor says once a day , and he would just swallow it whole. He didn't chew it, he just swallowed it whole and he was like I said. So how's it working for you? It's great, it works good. I don't itch at all. I said know that that kid never once scratched again and his eczema went away and it was all on Smarties, because he believed what I was telling him and what the doctor told him. Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Speaker 1: And I told him later on in high school. Speaker 2: I mean, it's just a powerful example of how you can give your body permission to do what it does naturally. It's our thoughts and our perceptions that get in the way of the body's natural ability to make things right. So they kind of finished the conversation to bring it back or less painful. Speaker 1: For the self-discovery? I told her. I said she said so you expect me, right, so they kind of finished the conversation to bring it back. Or less painful For the self-discovery? I told her. I said she said so you expect me, or you're trying to teach me that when I have a chemical imbalance, that I can be positive-minded and optimistic about life every single day? I said yep, you know why you're not. Though she said why? I said because you don't think you can. You don't believe it. You believe everything you've been told and until you change that mindset, you'll continue down the same rough track. Speaker 2: Yeah, one of the greats Carl Jung or one of them, I don't remember. I apologize for not giving you credit where credit's due Napoleon maybe did make the statement and it's a very profound combination of words into a verbal statement of whether you can or whether you can't. You are right, that's correct, and it's based on the premise that whatever you think you can do, or whether you think you can't do it, either way you're correct, because that's the reality that you will create, because the mind is extremely powerful, right, and so that's one of the things that we try to get across to people is, you know, be aware of what you're putting in, because it will dictate what you're getting out. Speaker 1: That's correct. Be open-minded. Speaker 2: If you put garbage in , you're going to get garbage out. Speaker 1: Even on this podcast. You know you need to research everything we tell you and check in with it, with yourself. Speaker 2: Yeah, just because I have that. D-r in front of my name doesn't mean that I am the foremost authority on all of this. We just share what works for us , giving you ideas and suggestions to try for yourself, and if you try one and it doesn't really give you what you're looking for, then throw it in the garbage and try something else. Speaker 1: Right, you know take two concepts, blend them together and make a new concept that works for you, and see if it works for you because it may fit in your belief system. Like I, was watching this video yesterday morning and this guy just set the record for the highest um free fall jump without a parachute 34,000 feet and he did it with only a pair of boxers on Because he wanted to do that as well. Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like that would be cold. Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm sure it was cold, but he jumped 34,000 feet in the air. He literally threw his parachute off. Speaker 2: Wait. So he jumped from the ground up into the air 34,000 feet. Speaker 1: He jumped from an airplane and his whole plan was when they get to 5,000 feet, him and his friend was going to come together and he was going to buckle into his friend's parachute. Speaker 2: They pull the parachute and land, and then he has a smooth landing. He has a smooth landing. How did that work out? Speaker 1: He jumped Actually. He has a smooth landing. He has a smooth landing. How did that work out? He jumped Actually. He threw his parachute off. There was two things Either A he was going to catch the parachute and put it back on, okay, or B at 8,000 feet, he was going to try to catch the parachute if he could, and then if that didn't work at 5,000 feet he was going to join his friend that jumped with him and buckle into his double parachute thing with him and land that way. Speaker 2: I guess they did the mathematical equation to see how much the things weigh and how fast they're going to fall through the air, and did they do the math on that? Oh? Speaker 1: Doctors, you're embarrassing yourself right now I am yes it's called terminal velocity well, that's not embarrassing. I was just everything falls at the same rate, unless unless manipulated really yes I'm not gonna really believe you on that . Speaker 2: I'm gonna do my own research, okay, okay do that Anyway. Speaker 1: So at 8,000 feet he tries to dive. You see in the video he tries to dive to get to his parachute and he goes to put it on through his first loop and he bumps it with his elbow and it shoots off that way. Oh my gosh. And so you see it going off in the distance in this like circle-y spiral thing. And then finally he looks for his buddy and his buddy dives down to him and he's trying to get linked to where his buddy can come this way and then they can ride side by side and he can get in. So he's trying to put his arm in and then his buddy grabs him around his waist. But when they do that it affects the fall, Because when you're skydiving when you're tight. Tight it makes you go faster yes , and so it would make him speed up and slow down. Speed up, slow down, so he would. He kept trying to do it. Well, they get through 1800 feet and they're still not, and he's still not attached, oh my gosh, and so they come up, I guess, with a plan, because I guess he had a headset on and I guess they were communicating okay and all of a sudden you see them both raise their head and bring their arms up at the same time, and so it made them do this. And then the guy reaches around him and puts his belt on around him, so it pulls him to him. Speaker 2: Oh, kind of like a scorpion maneuver or something, yeah, kind of like this for them both to slow down to the same speed. Yeah. Speaker 1: And then he put his arms in and they pulled the chute and he landed safely, luckily, because you know you get below a thousand feet and you could die Even with the parachute on. Speaker 2: You're scrambled to expand. Speaker 1: Yeah, but he made it. And at the end of it he said the lady because the news was there watching it, it was a big deal. He's going to speak of world records or whatever I guess Guinness Book of World Records or whatever and the lady from the news asked him how could anybody in their right mind jump from an airplane without a parachute and not have a heart attack midair? And what would make you want to do that? He said because somebody told me I couldn't and I wanted to make sure that I could, because I knew in my mind I could. And he's done it twice since then. Again, yeah, and he's working on twice since then again yeah. And he's working on going to go up even higher. But anyway, what I thought about it for me was there's a guy that doesn't listen to nothing, and when he believes something, that's how strong those beliefs are. Speaker 2: Absolutely. Speaker 1: I mean because he's flying at what? 210. Why do you not even know what terminal velocity is like 210 miles an hour towards the ground ? Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: At a at the ground, with only boxers on Right With the. There's so many parameters involved in this. You know his friend's got to be perfect. You know everything's got to work out perfectly. Yeah, friend's got to be perfect. You know, everything's got to work out perfectly, yeah, and he just believed he could. And it didn't work out perfectly because in his own mind he said, at 5 000 feet I'm going to be hooked up and I'm landing right or at 8 000 feet. I've got my own shoot on yeah and uh. Speaker 2: But he said, you know , somebody said I couldn't, and so I did it yeah, I mean that that is a definitely beautiful way to go about it is do the research. Speaker 1: Which that's kind of an extreme example. It is an extreme case, but it's a good example, but he's had to jump like 3,000 or 4,000 times. Speaker 2: You don't have to go quite that extreme, but it's a perfect example to kind of drill home the concept that we're trying to deliver, which is, you know, do your own freaking research. Speaker 1: He's kind of a goofy guy because they asked him what did you do to prepare for this job and he said slept. It was funny, man. Speaker 2: I slept and ate potato chips, you know. Speaker 1: I had an energy drink this morning. I took about a four hour nap and then I jumped. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Don't overthink it, man Just do it. Just well, no. Speaker 2: Collect your own. Before you take a belief on and decide that you're going to encompass yourself with the belief, make sure it's something that you want to take on. Speaker 1: Oh, and everything Self-discover everything. Speaker 2: Every single thing. Speaker 1: You know, do your own beliefs. Speaker 2: Do your own research, you know. Speaker 1: Open your mind to doing things differently. Open your mind to having that mindset of you. Know what this world is mine, Not anybody else's and I'm going to experience it for what I experienced it, for not what everybody else did and wrote in a book or somewhere. Speaker 2: Right and how I want to experience it, not a oh. Woe is me. I'm trapped in this experience and can't do anything about it, so I'm going to just stay closed minded because I can't do anything anyways. Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. Speaker 2: Very vapid. Speaker 1: Vapid, that's a vapid response. I feel pretty good Open up and explore. Explore the world, live life, get to know yourself. Speaker 2: Decide what beliefs you want to carry around, because when you start releasing those beliefs that are not yours, you will feel so much lighter and so much more energetic and and so much better . Yeah, I agree, so much freer. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Not beat down and bogged down with a bunch of dumb ass beliefs. They're not even yours, Right that's that's very heavy, yours Right that's, that's very heavy. Speaker 1: I agree. Speaker 2: So yeah, give yourself the opportunity to explore what is exciting, what is fun, what is going to be your next adventure that you go on? Speaker 1: I was watching Mike Moss this morning. He's a professional gambler that's won so much money from the casinos he's banned from, like every casino in the world. Speaker 2: Instead of Frank Fungus. Speaker 1: What? I didn't get your joke there. I know you're tickled. You said Mike Moss. Speaker 2: And I said, instead of Fred Fungus, oh my gosh. Speaker 1: And he said this morning, when somebody asked him when he was in an interview because he's got a podcast and he was being interviewed, and the guy asked him what made you think you'd go in the casino and win that much money, he said I didn't believe that the house always wins. I said I believe that the house always manipulates the opportunity for them to win. And so if I could figure out a way to manipulate my reality? I said I believe that the house always manipulates the opportunity for them to win. And so if I could figure out a way to manipulate my reality to where my effectiveness of my reality is in my best interest and not theirs then I win, and he won like $700 million from the casinos. Speaker 2: Yeah, he started with 800. Yeah, you know you said some pretty profound things right there. I want to touch on real briefly Okay. He said, I wanted to make sure that it was in my best interest and the effectiveness was aligned with what is good for me right and if we do that on a regular basis instead of stop trying to do that for others and we do it for ourself. Is this an alignment with the best interest of me? Then that will begin to recreate a reality that keeps you in alignment, unless you begin to see a pattern where it doesn't quite work out to be a smooth, calm kind of ride, funkiness kind of pops up, calm kind of ride, funkiness kind of pops up. You'll want to look at whether or not you have defined yourself as being worthy and deserving of having that kind of experience. Right, because that belief of not having self-deserving or self-worthiness will kind of muck that up. Speaker 1: He said that the guy asked him well, you know all the games that the casinos put out, you know they have researched them and they know that they have an advantage to the house and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah. And he said I don't believe that. I said I believe they manipulate themselves. He said it doesn't make any sense to me when you put a six deck blackjack game out in front of me and the cards are all there. They cannot be manipulated. After that point right. And they don't know what I'm going to do, they don't know if I'm going to hit stay. I can go completely against the whole realm of what anybody thinks, if I want to, right, and so you can't tell me that. Nor do I believe for one minute that every game that the casino puts out is based to where they're going to win. Do they win? Yes, but I win too, yeah. And so he. And so the guy was like what do you mean? I said. He said once those cards are in that shoe, they can't change them because you can see them. Speaker 2: Yeah, because they would get in trouble if they did . Speaker 1: Well, I mean, they all manipulate the things they do. It's part of the game. But that's what he said is. It's a game they are manipulating to win. It's like I'm trying to manipulate to win and all it is is do you believe that you can manipulate better than them? Right, and if you don't believe it, then don't sit down at those tables. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Because you will give your money to them. Speaker 2: Unless you don't really want to win. Yeah, that could be it too I mean unless you have some money, that your money guy says listen , you got to get rid of some money or your taxes are going to be wonky and you're looking for a place to donate it. Speaker 1: Well, you can't write that off on your taxes, but anyway, I feel pretty complete. How do you feel? Speaker 2: I feel great. Speaker 1: Self-discovered guys Self-discovered.
