I don't know. We'll do it. I love you guys. I'm happy to be here chatting with you What's been going on in your lives? We're gonna have I don't want to say a heavy episode This week, but I think it's a needed one It's when it all falls down, right?

It's just what happens when everything kind of breaks apart. You're working towards everything You've hit a moment of flow your dreams are coming true Everything is working out the way you wanted it to and then you just get served a big old shit sandwich And sometimes it feels like you didn't do anything. You didn't do anything wrong. How is this happening? Why is it happening to you now if you get stuck in that mindset? It can be really Challenging to pull yourself out of it if something is being done to you. You don't deserve this This shouldn't have happened to you. Why is this happening? Those are self-perpetuating cycles of kind of shame and guilt and Just intolerance, right? It's being intolerance to something that's percolating up in your life That you're supposed to be facing. So the first thing you can do if you notice yourself in that state is just go Hey, this is happening to me for a reason. This is happening to me because I Need to be shown something about myself about my life. That's bringing in this energy It's never Independent of you, right? I was talking with my dad the other day and he's like, you know, you've always kind of A subscribe to this theory of living the illusion of central position, which is basically Self-centered jerk. I know it doesn't mean it like that But there is some truth to being the center of the universe. You are the center of your universe It's quite literally how you experience everything to deny that to Push that aside and pretend like it's not accurate Is doing yourself a disservice now? Does that mean you should only do things for yourself?

You should only be a selfish self-serving person who doesn't care about anyone else? Of course not, but it does mean some acknowledgement that your life is your life and that everything is a reflection of something that's going on with you this actually helps you get to a place of stability and strength for working through or Letting things pass by or allowance or accepting just the shit that's happening in your life We all put different Challenges and circumstances in our lives to show us this I know for a lot of people and this is why we've been doing a lot of money stuff Especially over the past year money finances security are it's a very Dominant way of kind of focusing our energy on something that feels substantial or logical or practical I can tell you as someone who especially in the past few weeks has made more money than I've ever made in my entire life when that Obstacle begins to crumble when there's no longer this Issue with money, right not having enough needing to make more Making sure you have enough for yourself and your family or whoever you're providing for if that's something you're doing That's when other shit tends to pop up, right? Because you've eliminated something that tends to dominate a huge Portion of our consciousness typically and when that gets taken away or begins to crumble and it isn't as dominant of a theme That's when the other things start to come up So I'll talk about my own personal kind of things falling apart and issues that I deal with in the hopes That maybe you can recognize some things in your life that maybe have a similar energetic imprint So for me what happens is is I am constantly dealing with this balance between space personal space doing the things I want to do and Having responsibilities. I have three children. I have a wife. I have an ex-wife There's there's a lot going on always in my life and it's important for me to make sure that I am taking care of myself Because if I don't I tend to be a pretty shitty person to be around and for as fun and happy and as cool as I Podcast when I'm in a bad mood, I'm a nightmare I am truly probably one of the least pleasant people to be around on the planet. It's just how it is. I know this It's something that all of my partners and family have been all too familiar with over the course of my life And it's not a good thing right? It's not no one wants to be around a miserable son of a bitch That's not a positive experience. So for me trying to navigate how to honor my own wants desires need space while maintaining kind of you know Being the person I need to be for the people in my life That's I've set my life up in a way where that's become kind of the focal point And I think this is something that everyone deals with whether you have children or not or families or whatever It's just something that People have to figure out. Where is that that line that dividing line between yourself and others?

Other people are reflections of you. So if you're getting feedback even if seemingly unwarranted Or not fair also be very careful I notice when I'm if I'm doing this when I'm upset if I start saying things aren't fair. Oh Even when I'm saying it, I know it's wrong. It's just not fairness isn't it's it is fair It is it is fair, right? It is how things work. You're always going to get an accurate reflection of the energy that's inside of you now that may not be convenient that maybe not be nice that may Force you to deal with some uncomfortable truths about who you are and what you're dealing with but let's try to eliminate this concept of fairness In our lives, right? Everything is fair. Everything is the way it should be it can seem completely unfair objective Someone walks down the street and hits you in the face. You say I didn't deserve that I didn't it's not that you deserve it It's just that there is a relationship between what you are experiencing and some type of you know Internal energy, right? That's just how this shit works. So what do we do? Right? What do we do?

And I'm I'm half on this podcast just figuring it out with you. I I'm trying not trying I'm in the process of figuring out how to be the best version of myself And I think this is all we can do in our lives, right? I think when we die we get this opportunity to review our lives and see what we were here and what we were doing And if you have this ability to kind of step outside of the box zoom out wall You're alive and recognize what some of those themes may be That's the point of this shit, right? That is the point of this shit. It's really to Grok the lessons that you signed up to learn before you incarnated as a being the only thing I can say is Make sure that you keep things light and that there is an element of fun, or there's just curiosity always kind of As a tailwind for you pushing you along that will immunize you against Immunizations that will immunize you against most negative consequences in life. There's a huge amount of responsibility that comes with that but Really just like acknowledging that you have shit. You need to work on You're doing it because it's not a burden. It's not a bad thing. It's something that's intended to be a Growth right it's like growing pains, but if you can have this playful It's page of cups right one of my favorite cards in the tarot is page of cups just because it represents this aspect of playful curiosity and that is the mood and attitude that We should be caring with us as much as possible. Now. I understand when you're going through some heavy shit That's not always easy It's not always like the easiest thing to do to be a playful curious happy-go-lucky fun person But if you can shift your mentality come up with some type of Anchor or beacon that allows you to get into that mindset Do that right that could be something as simple as listening to music going for a walk Exercising eating food you like just something that shifts your mentality Towards the direction you'd like to go in Do that get accustomed to doing that the worst thing I feel like we can do is Dwell in a negative state. You can get familiar with negativity. It's nothing wrong with that It's it's good to have an idea of what ends of the spectrum to exist, but dwelling in a state of negativity Perpetuates it right and that's not something we're trying to do here. Also, just trying to remember To have conviction and confidence in your big Imaginal acts or whatever we'd like to call them that that is also helpful things may seem like they're going Totally wrong, but if you know deep down that things are actually working out and they're constantly in the process of being worked out That's good. The way I'd describe this is like let's say you're there's a big knot and some chewlaces You're untying right that knot is not an obstacle for you to like oh it fucked your shit up It's just something that needs to be loose in and untied and that's kind of what Faithfulness and curiosity and laughter allows us to do it's a way of kind of untangling the knots Which has a functional purpose. So we all have these knots in our lives. They tend to Repeat themselves until we get the proper perspective on how to deal with them And that can be anywhere from like a comfortable fun experience to a hellish nightmare Where you feel like you're in some sisyphysian Nietzschean kind of fucking recurrent loop of torture Hopefully not that Hopefully that's not your dominant vibe, but it certainly can happen Try to be appreciative of when these things happen in your life. I don't like being in fights I don't like being in confrontations and have a mirror being held up to my faults No one enjoys that. I don't think even the most you know Sadomasticistic person. I don't think anyone really enjoys having that happen But take you them as lessons take them as Opportunities to kind of figure out what the fuck is really going on in your life also This is directly tied to and this has to do with what I was talking about for like this responsibility verse You know taking care of yourself and your needs Have your dreams and goals in life. Don't lose sight of those right? Don't don't lose sight of those I think the worst thing anyone can do is Put off their dreams or their real big goals in life because they don't seem realistic or practical or just right You can do whatever you want this is a real truth and reality and part of a big reason I have this podcast and continue to do it is it's a message that's Constantly worthy of being shared I know that when I am the most miserable in my life is when I push away the things that truly make me happy or I lose sight of my big dreams and goals and that does happen I would say truthfully that the past six to eight months. I've been in kind of a funk, right?

It's been it's been tough I you know lots of things have ramped up in my life that I don't want to say it prevented me But it has made it more difficult for me to pursue the things I truly enjoy to do And then it kind of gets in this weird thing where like oh, I should be making music You know, why am I not making music and then you maybe get some time to do the thing you want to do and you know It's not flowing and you're like, oh god. I can that's that's normal. That's a part of it It also makes the success the inevitable success I'll point out that much sweeter when it happens it feels a lot better to get the thing. You've always wanted when you've had a little You know difficulty. What's the word? I'm looking for I Can't think of it right now when it's adversarial. I don't know the right word I'm looking for when there's challenges to get there. It's far more rewarding You may think it would be nice to just get a straight shot right to your goals as soon as you want them This isn't the place for that We're here on earth because we had this dimension of time to gain perspective on What it is we're doing and thank God I've mentioned this before with the imaginal acts like if you know a lot of us Oh, I wish I had this right now boom. It's right in front of your face like a genie That's all well and good when it's things you want But if that was really how things worked instantly and guess what?

You don't imagine getting hit in the balls don't imagine losing all your money don't imagine dying a trout You know what I mean like we have this Beautiful stretched out time to kind of really be sure about what it is we want and The beautiful thing is to change our minds There's always the ability to change your mind. You're never locked in to any one mindset or perspective in life It's just not how it works. You that's beautiful. That's amazing You're an all-powerful limitless being who literally can do whatever they want whenever they want It may not feel like that all of the time It may not feel like that the majority of the time hell It may not even feel like that two percent of the time, but it is true It is a fact and I think it's more people wake up to this You know things tend to get a little bit more smooth I also wanted to talk a little bit here about being careful about what you're letting into your consciousness I'm sure everyone knows how fractured and divisive divisive divisive Just not just politics, but just all social and cultural issues are right now Try to unplug from that reactive nature. Try to Just dissociate. I think this is one of the best things about ketamine I haven't done it in a while, but like you can kind of unplug from your normal perspectives and People are really getting locked in to you know hardcore Zealot-like stances whether that's having to do with like vaccines or politics or whatever it is Just be mindful that like It's not worth it. It's just not worth it, right? Find the things you genuinely care about Internally not because of some external prompt find those things and then put your attention towards that right focus on those things It's not worth getting angry at another person based on their actions even if you feel like they're doing something destructive It's self-harming. It's harming others always start with yourself, right? Start with your own Issues your own problems your own things that you need to work on. It's just a better path towards fulfillment and Success it makes more sense is that that's probably the easiest way to say it I know this can be difficult. I know that people have strong feelings, especially when it comes to like mortality But I mean I was talking You know just some friends. I'm not gonna call them out and I'm not gonna go into a whole you know vaccine not vaccine things I know it's a hot button topic, but just seeing how people Have like gone to the point where they're like cutting friends out of their lives because of their stances on vaccines Whatever it is. That's not right guys. It's not worth it. It's really not worth it, right? It's just Don't let yourself be pulled by something that truly doesn't affect you Really it doesn't you may have strong viewpoints on this type of stuff But don't don't let it alter your relationships and your life It's it's a dangerous road and that goes for the unvaccinated the vaccinate. It doesn't matter. It really doesn't It's gone to the point where I really don't even publicly share my opinions on Vaccines at this point and I'm not an anti-vaxxer at all I'm not someone who's like heavily in favor of all vaccines But it's just something like it's a shame like I'm not the type of person who typically gates what I speak about But I feel that just the amount of kind of rage and anger that that that can come out when talking about these things It's like This isn't gonna be the only thing there's gonna be so many more things in the world where we don't agree and I think letting go of this idea that Someone your friends with or you admire or you like they don't have to agree with you on everything I know that's a hard kind of Pilled to swallow tough pill to swallow for some people, but it's true You don't have to agree with everyone about everything. It's just not even possible. So don't Don't let it like seep into your life in a way that fosters negativity and just you know Bad shit, right and let's talk a little bit about like practicality verse woo There's a balance you're looking for there It's not all one thing. It's not all woo all the time It's not all 3d practical shit all the time find that balance that balance is gonna be what creates a sense of fulfillment in your life being able to Walk that line as a mystical amazing alien, but also as a person Where that stuff's like not applicable all of the time in your life. Don't don't go too far of the woo deep end I'm pretty fucking rude. Don't you guys know that everyone knows that but there has to be some balance with practicality We wouldn't be here on earth with these types of responsibilities and rules and laws and all of these things We wouldn't be here if that's not something we truly deep down desired, right?

So honor that honor that really don't don't push yourself too hard I'm also like a natural born contrarian, so like Insufferable asshole like I'll get super fucking woo, and then be like don't be woo. I'm sorry. It's just how I am It's just that I think it's a way of crafting my own perspectives and beliefs, but Just try to like find the balance there It's gonna make you feel more stable and healthy one of the things that can happen with like going very woo is you can just kind of like Lose yourself lose your perspective get too Untethered from the life around you that it ceases to become productive like even if I Got unplugged there. Hopefully this was recording That's a big deal though, right like just make sure that you're Cool, man. Just be cool, baby. That's it. That's it. That's the message of this one Go back and listen to the imaginal techniques episodes if you feel like you've lost touch with that a little bit I know we've been in this really intense period of kind of Just getting shit done and preparing and you know, just get ready for some relaxation We've had enough turbulence turbulence will continue. It's not gonna go away, but just try to be cool Right. I think that's what it's about that means smoking some weed doing some drugs whatever it is just kick back and relax It's the only thing you'll appreciate it at the end of your life You'll look back and you really will appreciate the moments where you were able to just fucking take it easy It's a big part of being alive that relaxation, right? Just don't lose sight of that You know, we all go through things at various times in our lives Just if you maintain the perspective that it's all good. It's gonna work out. It is working out Things are gonna be good. All right We'll wrap it up here. Probably maybe do another little bonus one have some cool guests coming up a towel in to know him He's a writer. He wrote a new book called leaf society. He was kind enough to send me a pre-order Prerelease of it. It's fantastic. I'm gonna have him on the podcast. I'm gonna get him on hopefully soon He's a very cool guy. The book is phenomenal It's a novel, but kind of like an autobiography biographical. It's beautiful. It's really well written It's a lot of you know micro dosing and it's just really good. So I'm gonna try to get him on in the not-too-distant future Just some cool shit going down in funky town Crypto guys. I I'm not gonna You know be the dead horse this getting the fucking server.

It's less and you can leave whenever you want I highly recommend doing it. This is I don't need the money It's just a it's a gate to kind of you know really get you to commit to something just even a small amount of money Changes something psychologically in our minds The patreon is it's okay.
