External Factors

(upbeat music) Welcome to Synchronicity. I'm a little stoved up, but I don't have the Rhona anymore, so that's fun. Rhona's no fun. We don't like it. It sounds like it's just gonna be around forever, right? It's weird because it is kind of just like a regular cold minus the smell and stuff and losing. I lost my smell for like a few days, but it's back. But if this added thing of like testing, and then like it's like you're a leper, if you get it, and you got a quarantine and isolating, it's responsible, I'm not complaining about it, but it is weird that we have this new thing that we have to kind of like adhere to in our lives.

But anyway, enough about that. Should we get the dolphin stuff out of the way so we don't have to do it in the middle of the episode for people who want to skip ahead? Eh? Eh? Fucking dolphins. Now we got Teddy Bimbom. He got hurt? Our backup quarterback got a concussion. We're getting screwed here, guys. What's going on? Why, why we got up with the brain injuries? And now that's the new thing, everyone. So this is a brain injury. (sighs) Yeah, football is just, I don't even know. It's just designed to inflict maximum misery on my consciousness, apparently. It's not cool. I do not approve Schuyler Thompson coming, who I actually like, but you know, you throw him.

We lost to the fucking jets, guys. That's how bad things have gotten. To the jets, to know bad the jets are. Whatever you like in life, whatever it is, just imagine the worst possible variation of that. That's what the jets are. They're truly just the worst of everything in any particular vein of life. It's truly terrible, terrible things. And we lost them. Not only we lose them, we kind of got crushed. We got crushed. Not kind though. We got crushed. So that's not fun. I just bought all the two new dolphins hats too. So now I'm wearing my dolphins hats like a dork. They're not good anymore. They were great three weeks ago, and now they're terrible.

It's not cool. I don't deserve this. Whoa is me. Anyway, let's get to this episode. It's gonna have fun time. Today, we're primarily, don't know how long this episode is gonna be, but we'll, I'll talk for as long as I have stuff to say. We're primarily going to be talking about external factors and external causes and causation. And number one rule of imagination fight club is there are no external factors. If you put your faith and belief in anything outside of your consciousness, your sense of I am, your wonderful human imagination, you're done, you're fucking up. You're fucking up, right? And I really wanna be clear about this because it's very easy in this kind of metaphysical realm, spirituality, whatever you wanna call it, motivational, blah, blah, blah, to get enamored and captivated by other things, right?

Whether it's astrology or tarot, both things that I immensely enjoy, but I'm very clear that they are just extensions of my consciousness, your consciousness. There is no actual substance and reality to them other than the belief we imbue them with. This is incredibly important because in a world where seemingly our attention gets more and more fractured and kind of contracted, right? Long form content now is like 30 seconds. That's what's considered long form content, right? Like that's used to be like an hour, used to be like half an hour, 20 minutes, 15 minutes. It's literally like 30 seconds is considered long form.

Like that's how much our attention spans have been shrunk for the most part, not all the time, but they've really gone down. It's very easy to kind of get like caught up in external factors, right? Whether that's someone doing something to you or the news or the media or some metaphysical thing that's going on, the astrology of the moment. And our belief in those things are quite literally what determine their validity and reality. And it can be a fun game to play where we kind of give those things power and play with those modalities. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but if we lose ourselves in that kind of way of thinking, she can get dicey and you get out of hand really quickly, right?

That's when we start kind of running into potential issues related to like not having control over our lives or feeling like we don't have control or just not understanding why things are the way they are. And there's a function to not understanding. There's a function to things not going perfectly in line with what we imagine and what we're trying to manifest or whatever you wanna call it, but it's really important that we don't get caught up in external factors because it's really just not accurate. And you'll find the more you kind of investigate that axiom that that is true. It's not like we're saying this 'cause we wanna discredit things that people believe are true.

I mean, there's a whole realm, a world of people who believe any number of things that they believe with their full hearts and minds and for them it's true. There's nothing wrong with that, but we want to kind of key into this core principle that it is our belief that determines whether something is true. That's the main lever and trigger that we have for determining validity or truth, right? And it's inconvenient on another level, like let's look at this from another point of view too. Like if you really subscribe to that way of thinking, you give up the ability to blame anything, right? Outside of yourself for the way things are which is incredibly inconvenient.

I've spoken about this ad nauseam. It's just, it's not fun. It's not cool. It's not how we want things to go. It's much better to be able to blame and point to external factors and say, "Oh, well, this is why things are the way they are." And, you know, doing all of these readings and constantly just kind of investigating my own life and consciousness, I can tell you that the tendency to want to look at external situations and say, "Oh, well, this is the way things are." It's because of that. It's like it's always present. It's not something that goes away. We're in the world. We interface with the world.

There is going to be a relationship between our own perception and what we're encountering out in the world, right? This is like this ninth 10th house of astrology stuff, like our internal philosophical nature and how that relates to the external world where we're engaging with other people. And again, this isn't to say, like, don't believe in astrology. Don't believe in tarot. Don't believe in oracle readings. Don't believe in energy. Of course, I use these tools, but I remember that the operative power here is me, right? It is my consciousness that imbues these things with meaning and substance.

So we're not like lapping off areas of metaphysics or alchemy or whatever you want to call it, but don't fall for the tendency to kind of believe external stuff, like just to give a simple example, right? Let's look at money and abundance, right? If we look out in the world right now, I mean, it's another terribly down day for the stock market and crypto and people will look at these macroeconomic indicators, right? Well, we have inflation getting out of control. We have all these geopolitical situations with the Ukraine and Russia war and Saudi Arabia cutting oil, all of this stuff. It's so easy to look at this stuff and say, well, this is causative.

Like this is why things are the way they are. And I'm not saying it's not anything to do with that, but at the end of the day, it's really nothing to do with that. It's your particular belief that creates those situations. Now, let's look at, and this is not like some nefarious conspiratorial plot, let's look at if we accept that is true, right? That our consciousness kind of determines our reality. Why would we be getting pitched various narratives about why things are the way they are, right? You could see why, there's a clear advantage towards shifting people's consciousness towards certain ideas, right?

It really does shape our world. So if you get enough people kind of buying into something, you then actually get real world impacts on that. So this is why we kind of always bring it back to square one with our own consciousness, our own sense of IM because we then take the power back, we then take the agency back, we then take the control back for running our own lives. And that's a powerful state to be in. It's very empowering, right? We don't want to feel, I mean, the weakest we can feel is when we have no control over circumstances, over situations, over anything that's happening, we have no control.

There's nothing we can do. It's all outside of our hands. That is a weakened position to be in and it's not fun. It's not cool, it's not productive. And we genuinely don't want to be, you know, living in those states for too long because the more you kind of give away your power in that sense, the more you, I don't want to say the more difficult it is, but you have like kind of a more arduous, yeah, I mean, more difficult is probably the word. It's to get back to the perspective where like you are running this shit, it is your consciousness, it is your belief, your desire, your faith that determines all of these things.

That becomes seemingly more inaccessible. Now, the beauty of this is that we do get to determine what states of consciousness we move through at any given point. Here's the general idea. You are an eternal immortal being. The states you move through, whether that's poverty, abundance, happiness, depression, these are temporary states that exist that you move yourself to and through. So you're never permanently fixed in any one of these states of consciousness. However, you can last or you can stay in them for a long period of time depending on your willingness to kind of recognize what's going on and move to and through them, right?

So it's good that we have this ability to move through temporary states that we would want to. We don't want to be stagnant. We don't want to be stuck in the same kind of situation forever. But we want to be careful that we remember that we're the operative power here, that we are ultimately the thing that determines what is going on in our lives, right? That I just like, I feel this is an important time to kind of review this and go over it because the energy it appears in external reality. And we would be remiss if we didn't give any kind of attention or validity to like the external world. I'm not suggesting pull your consciousness in, paying no attention to anything that's going out there.

I mean, you wouldn't be alive. You certainly wouldn't be listening to this podcast. If your path was one of like an ascetic who just like doesn't have anything to do with the world, that's not what we're dealing here. There are people who do that and it's completely valid and it's probably a very powerful and somewhat less arduous route to take if you can just completely detach from the world. But that's not really the game most of us are playing here. However, you don't want to get too caught up in the ways and the means of the world, right? They're saying in the world, but not of it, right? That's important to remember.

So if we go back to this premise of the Christ itself, right? Not a personification of man, not a deity personified as some dude named Jesus Christ, but this ability to kind of recognize our own inherent I amness and awareness and to move on this vertical axis of the cross, right? Up and down, ideally up, to experience broader and grander perspectives of what it is to be alive, then we start to recognize kind of the power that we inherently have related to our consciousness and our ability to kind of shape reality. This is usually easier to do when we would say, like, oh, we're in a flow state.

We're in a state where things are just working super well. It's like, I really get it. I'm seeing the connection between what I imagine and what is happening in my world. It gets increasingly difficult when those things don't line up. But this is when we do kind of use this aspect of sense rejection to modulate what we are likely to experience. And this isn't a stubborn kind of like petulant child way of like, yeah, I'm not gonna believe that because that doesn't really work. But there is this kind of innate quality of faith, right? Loyalty the things unseen that we do have to cultivate if we wanna have any ability to kind of change our world and our perception of our world and our experiences in the world.

You do have to have this ability to look past what your senses are telling you or what the world is telling you. And we can do this in a variety of ways. We can modulate the past. We can augment the future. We can use those to change our current state of consciousness in the now. I mean, it is weird that it's always now forever, right? It's always now forever. It's never not now, right? If you think about that, you realize it's true. Your experience is always now. It's never not been now. So we know this modulation of time is plausible. We can go back and review memories. We can in advance set our desires as manifestations and goals and kind of move through time.

But our perception is always present. It's always here. So we know that this is a powerful aspect of consciousness because that means we are constantly having access to this ability to shape our feelings or moods. And that's really what we're talking about here. You're mood, right? It's the subjective appropriation of an objective state, right? Subjective appropriation of the objective state. What does that mean? It means that you have the choice and ability to appropriate, to embody a mood, a state, a feeling that then once you embody that, you then objectively perceive it, right? You objectively have that experience.

And that's a weird way of looking at the world because that's traditionally not how we're taught and not how we are navigating the world. Most people are not going to say that that is how things work. They're going to say there are facts, there is reason and logic that determines our world and we adhere to those principles and that's the way it is. But it's not the way it is. And this is, again, a testable hypothesis. It would be a real dick move if I said all of this stuff, if I constantly hammered this stuff over and over again and you couldn't test it. Like, what a bullshit thing that would be.

But it is testable, right? So the resistance you'll see from various camps or people or whatever is fundamentally just from people who don't take the time to test these principles or test them kind of half-heartedly and don't really, you know, give it the old college try. That's important. I just, I really, again, want to revisit this point because I think it is a huge stumbling block even for very advanced people, you know, energy workers, consciousness workers, metaphysical practitioners, alchemists, whatever you want to call them, witches, wizards, whatever they are, do not believe in any secondary cause.

You are God, right? Your imagination is the creative principle, is the thing that we refer to as God. We can call it the Father, we can call it He, we can call it I Am, we can call it whatever. That's it. There's nothing else after that. If you find yourself subscribing to theories that are based on external factors, again, you are fucking up. You're just, it's not like a mortal sin. It is a sin, though, right? And let's talk about what like a sin is. A sin is just missing your mark. If you were to shoot an arrow at a target and you missed your mark, that's a sin. It's not some moral ethical error in judgment that you've made that it's kind of been presented as, it's kind of like a tool to keep people from doing things that, you know, the morality police wouldn't want you to do.

It's just missing your mark. So if you are sinning, if you're missing your mark and you're giving too much credit to various modalities or factors or circumstances in your life, could even be as simple as like a genetic thing, right? Like, well, I genetically was not blessed with this ability to do this thing. Therefore, I can't do it. Don't just like pull back for a second. See how loose and receptive you can make your mind and your emotions and your moods, so you can kind of like move through states in a way that feels comfortable for you. That's the goal here. I see it time and time again where people really get caught up in impressions of themselves.

It's 'cause they believe this is who they are. And usually those beliefs are rooted in what someone else told them or something they read or something that, you know, is outside of them. And we just wanna move as far away from that line of thinking as possible because it doesn't serve us. Ultimately, it's a disempowering way of being. And again, we don't do this like, you know, sticking our thumbs in our ear, thumbs in our ear? No, fingers, pointers in our ear and go nanny nanny boo boo. We don't do that. That's not a mature way of looking at the world, but in some sense, that is kind of what we have to do at some point.

It's better to completely withdraw your attention and consciousness from things that are limiting factors and focus on your ability to create and kind of create, that's the word. There's no other word I need there. Really focus our energies on our own innate ability to create things, right? And again, revisiting the very basic principle of as you're going to sleep at night, creating a scene with sensory vividness and emotional undertones that imply your desire or wish is fulfilled is the easiest way to test this. Again, we'll revisit this concept of desire. Like desire is your springboard, right?

It is a tool you use to prove this aspect of consciousness. Yes, it is amazing when our manifestations and our desires come true. That's a very amazing feeling, it's wonderful. We like it, but the function of that is to show you your innate power, your innate wisdom, your innate godliness, right? That's the function of it. It's not just like a cool parlor trick. I mean, it can be, listen, there's nothing that says you can't use this for like just getting cool shit for the rest of your life. But we probably wanna look a little bit deeper and say like, well, why does this exist? Why is this the way it is?

And really, this is the journey of this omnipotent being, dying into you to experience you and your life so you can then remember what it is to be God, right? To be this omnipotent, creative presence being. That's the game, that's the narrative, right? That's what we're doing. That is kind of the endless story that we tell ourselves. If we look at media and we look at entertainment, the most resonant aspects, the things that really resonate with us kind of point to that story, either explicitly or just kind of subtly. So that is really what's going on. It's not more complicated than, I mean, that's relatively complicated, but there's not some other thing that's happening here.

It's just as simple as, okay, we're revealing to ourselves through time that we are this being, this immortal being. And we reveal this to ourselves by showing ourselves what we're capable of. We diminish that ability when we externalize that process. When we say, oh, well, this is happening 'cause the devil, the devil don't want it to happen. So that's why it's not happening. Or the angels are with me today, or the numerology of the day says this is gonna happen. Oh, my sign is debilitated in this house right now. So I just, I guess I'm not gonna get that thing. You can use all of these tools as ways to kind of get in touch with your subconscious and the collective unconscious.

And I love using those tools. It's truly some of those things, particularly astrology and the tarot, are incredibly effective at kind of getting a layer below our conscious superficial mind. Superficial not in a bad way. It's just how we perceive things. I love those things. So you don't have to kind of lop off modalities that are external in order to believe this. You can coexist with them. Just don't move too far to the side where this is the operative power. Where, well, astrology is now dictating what is going on in your life. As a tool to gain insight, wonderful. It's like using GPS, right?

Like GPS is an amazing tool, but if you became 100% reliant on GPS getting everywhere you needed to go all of the time, if GPS ever went away or became somehow less effective, you'd be fucked, right? And of course, like if you're going to a new place, you know, it would be very difficult, but like the routes that you take day in and day out, you've internalized. You know how to get to where you're going. You don't need the GPS. I know some people that still need the GPS to go to the regular places they go and don't have a sense of their kind of geolocation at any given time. That said, you just don't want to get too reliant on any of these tools or modality because as you, and I can't understand the allure of it.

Like when you discover something new, when you discover some tool or principle, you know, the temptation is to get Uber involved with that and like really delve into it. Just don't forget that your consciousness, your imagination, your being is the operative power at all times. It never stops being that. You can convince yourself that that's not true. You can even give yourself endless experiences that validate that that's not true. You could then convince yourself to be the most logical, rational person who says the only thing that happens in this world is logic-based and reason-based. I have found people who tend to believe that out in the world don't seem to be the happiest, don't seem to have the freedom of thought that I think is important to kind of navigate and live in as much of a non-judgmental way as possible.

One thing I'm gonna recommend here also just to show you kind of the power of what you're capable of, not only in your own life, although it is still your life, is imagine, find someone in your life who you think could be doing a little bit better, who maybe has had a rough go of things. Whoever that is, just find someone in your life, a friend, a family member, a loved one, just someone who you're connected to. And imagine them coming to you and sharing amazing news that they've got, whether that's kind of a promotion or abundance or health or love, just do it for them. See if you can imbue some miracles in other people's lives and how that would look and how that would work.

And there's tons of visualization techniques that I've spoken about in other previous podcasts, but it's a good way to kind of show yourself that you can also be a benevolent being for others in your life. And it's very powerful. And some people also have difficulty with kind of creating things for themselves. So this can be a good and nice, effective way to show you that you can create for other people too. Now, all of this doesn't have to be done lovingly. And I've spoken about this quite a bit too. There's no rule that says like you have to use this in a benevolent or generous way. There's nothing that says that.

There's good and evil. You can do whatever you want on that spectrum, whenever you want. But use it lovingly. You'll understand why as time goes on, if it's not just kind of like an intuitive understanding of why you should do that, but use it lovingly. It's, you don't have to, but you should. It's a nice idea to do that. It will double back upon you as well if you use it lovingly. You would like to be treated with love, right? Of course, everyone would. Even if you're just the total state of masochist, like you still want on some level to be treated. Even if what you desire is pain, there's something that you want and would feel good getting.

So just use it lovingly as much as possible. But yeah, I mean, this week, right? Until you hear my voice again, focus on someone in your life that you could imagine them hearing them saying something to you that validates a wonderful experience for them, right? Now, you could say, well, isn't that an external factor for that person? Like you wished something or, you know, imagine something for someone and, you know, you're the external factor in their lives. Therein lies the beauty of this. It's still them and it's still you. You create this, they're in your world. You're creating some. For them, you're in their world.

Something is being created. So there is this interplay between internal and external that I don't want to diminish. Like we do interface with this world, with this external reality. Like that's a constant, ever-present thing. But ultimately, it is your world. It is your belief. It is your faith that kind of summons these things up out of nothingness. Everything exists too. I just want to be clear about that. Like there's nothing that isn't existing. We pull from an infinite treasure trove of things that are. We don't create, we don't create new, right? Even if it feels novel and new, there is infinite creation out there that we tap into and move to and through.

So that's cool. You should just know that. It's not like you're creating something new. But again, the function of all of this is just to show you that you are the operative power. You are the creator. You are this being who summons forth beauty and love and joy in the world. And don't forget that. Don't let anyone tell you that that's not how things work. Don't let someone tell you that this is happening because X, Y, and Z, it has nothing to do with you. This is because of the astrological climate. This is because of the science of the matter. I mean, science is one of the easiest things to look at.

It's forever hilarious to me that we look at a modality like science and the empirical method and say, well, this is the end all and be all. The whole premise of this modality is that things are constantly shifting and that we make hypotheses that change over time. So it'll believe that anything is in this fixed state of factual information is nuts to me. It's just like, it's crazy. So I, and again, I don't want to get back into the COVID stuff too much. However, it has just come out. In fact, check me on this. Fact, check me, bro, that these vaccines that were created were never meant to stop transmission, right?

That was kind of the narrative that we were given is that we're going to stop transmission with the vaccines. They were not intended to do that, right? I mean, it's dubious as to why they were actually created in the long run outside of kind of profit stuff, but that's not what they were there for. And I just bring that up because at one point, the narrative and the external consensus science was that is what they're there for. It's to stop transmission. And we can see just in a very short period of time, a couple of years, that that's just been thoroughly debunked by the pharmaceutical companies who created these things.

They didn't even test for transmission. They didn't even test that that was a thing. So just don't make your God science. Don't make your God anything that's not your wonderful human imagination, your own innate ability to say, I am this. That is all that's ever going on. And test it, test it religiously, test it as much as you possibly can, because you shouldn't be taking my word or anyone else's word for any of this stuff. That'd be negligent. You can listen to what someone says and you can test it. That's science, that's reality. That's the way we should navigate the world. We shouldn't just be on blind faith listening to what other people say.

It doesn't make sense to do that and it's negligent. And it's also just like it diminishes our own inherent power. So don't do that. Should we talk a little bit about Kanye at the end? 'Cause everyone knows I'm a Kanye stand, listen. This guy, I mean, it's not good to be anti-semitic. You should not be saying you're gonna wake up and go Def Con 3 on Jewish people. So let's be very clear about this. I feel for Kanye West because I do think ultimately, he's hurting in a serious way. I think he's immensely creative. I don't really give a shit about fashion. So all this fashion stuff and all the drama that comes out of that, it couldn't mean less to me.

But I do think that people should check their reactions and their vitriol and their hatred, not because he's having a mental breakdown or not having a mental breakdown, but just like what does it do for you? He's a polarizing figure, right? But what does it do for you to lash out and be angry at someone you don't really know? Someone you ultimately do have a choice as to whether you engage with what he's saying or what he's not saying. And this applies for everyone. It's not just Kanye. It's just he happens to be a media figure that's kind of omnipresent in a lot of people's lives. What does it do for you to lash out and get angry at someone?

Even if you identify as part of the culture that he's going after, I'm Jewish. I mean, I'm like Jewish light, but I mean, what does it do to get mad about that, right? What does it do for you to get angry at Kanye West or Donald Trump or whoever it is or Andrew Tate or whatever, is it helping you? Is it helping shape an identity for yourself that makes you feel better? I guess if that's true, then maybe that's valid, but that doesn't seem to be what it's doing for people. It seems to make people angry. It seems to make people upset. And then you're then blaming someone for that and that goes back to the original principle of this entire episode, which is don't blame external people factors, circumstances for what's going on in your life.

It's the easiest way to get thrown off course. I would looking back at kind of this period of my life over the past year and a half, up until a few months ago, what really threw me off course is just completely blaming, looking at what other people had done to me or the circumstances of my life that were beyond my control in air quotes and just believing that to be true. Then you have to do the work to get back to the point where you go, oh no, that's not actually what's happening. So just like try to like, if you're gonna engage with media, if you're gonna engage with kind of stuff in the world, what you are, it's just how it works.

Try to approach it as much from a non-judgmental standpoint as possible. It's really gonna serve you better than anything else you can do. Getting angry, getting upset, getting around. The only thing you have the right to get upset about is the Miami Dolphins, just 'cause it's bullshit. Just 'cause it's bullshit, guys. That's the only thing anyone has any right to get upset about because what the fuck? Can we just fucking, can we beat the Vikings for fuck's sake? Can we just get a fucking goddamn win here? This is the only thing we're actually allowed. I've researched it. I went through all the alchemical texts, the Akashic Records, and I did say, the only valid external thing to get upset about is the Miami Dolphins.

It's weird that it happens to be the one thing I truly care about, the thing I care about in life, but that's what it said. So I can't, if it says that in the Akashic Records, I can't go against it. So that outside of the Miami Dolphins ripping my fucking heart, there's nothing else you can actually be upset about. I mean, it's just, it's weird that that's the one thing that it says is actually a valid external factor, but outside of that, there's nothing. So just don't waste your time getting too bent out of shape. And if you notice yourself getting bent out of shape, just kind of gently remind yourself, oh, I don't have to do this.

This is my story. This is what I'm doing in life. And it's not in this like stubborn egocentric way. That's also not a healthy approach. You don't wanna get so caught up in your own delusions that like, I am the central universe, nothing exists but me. Yeah, sure, okay, cool. Yes, actually accurate, but really like, do you wanna be that guy? No, you don't wanna be that guy, or gal, or pronoun, or frog, or snail, or whatever pronouns we're using. I did see it speaking about getting upset about things. This whole gender, let's wade into this thing. This whole gender kind of biological male, female thing.

It is getting a little out of hand, right? We can acknowledge that, you know, I was watching this video of this talk being given at some Portland University and there's this huge walkout stage. And like this woman was just saying like, hey listen, there are biological differences between men and women, like men are taller on average. They have more muscle mass on average. And people lost their fucking minds. They're like, this is fascism. They're being Nazis. And I just try to like put myself in the position of where you get the idea that someone's saying something like that. Whether you agree with it or not, like can we stop calling people Nazis?

Can we do that as like a collective? I think it's important that we stop doing that. Unless they're actual Nazis, find another term, even if you vehemently disagree with whatever someone is saying, just like it doesn't make things better. No one has ever been called a Nazi and been like, oh my God, I think I'm being a bad person. I should probably change my way. It's like no one has done that. So just check yourself before you wreck yourself. You can have whatever opinions you want. I probably as time goes on, find myself even more conservative than I thought that I was. I consider myself open-minded, but like don't impose your beliefs on other people.

Let people believe what they want, no matter how wrong you think it is, it's likely not hurting anyone unless they're really advocating for like genocide or wide-scale oppression of people. And even then, are you gonna do something about it? Are you going to do anything about it? If not, lay low, just lay low. Trust me, it is going to be a far more effective strategy in this day and age. Whatever you send your attention to is gonna come back like a ton of bricks for you. So make sure you really want that smoke. Make sure you really are interested in dealing with that energy because you just get caught up in some kind of like media, you know, bruhaha or whatever it is from Kanye to gender to whatever it is.

Like, just make sure you want that smoke before you kind of engage with it. It is going to be something that you are happy, you took the time to think about before you did it. Anyway, that's it. Wow, almost 40 minutes, pretty, pretty, pretty good. That's all for this week. I will see you next week. We're going to have a good time. We're going to keep it loose, but really just to re-emphasize what this whole episode is about, do not put your faith in external factors. Keep it kosher and cool internally, your own wonderful human imagination. That's the operative power. Believe in that, test it, test it, test it.

And you'll be in great shape. Okay, that's it. See you soon. Bye-bye. (upbeat music) (upbeat music) (upbeat music)
