The Skeleton Key

Welcome to Synchronicity. It's been a while since we've done a solo cast here. So we're long overdue, solo cast, rolling into November, end of October, Halloween, coming up, all Hallows Eve, the other little swears. I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that. Apologies. We got a fun one today. You know, a classic kind of episode of synchronicity. Sorry, I moved the mic there. Hopefully that didn't come up too loud in the thing. Anyway, we got a classic one. We're gonna be dealing with so there's a lot of stuff going on in the world today. Does that even need to be said? It's just like, why do I save those phrases? There's a lot going on in the world today. Can we point to a time? Is there a day in the world where there's not a lot going on? Where it's just like, hey, there's nothing going on in the world today. Everyone just took a day off. We paused. No one's doing anything. It's just the big siesta of a day. That doesn't happen. So I don't need to say there's a lot going on in the world today. Although it does feel like there's a lot more going on in the world today than ever before. And I guess every day will continue to feel like that forever. Is that just how it goes? Now? I guess it is. I don't know. Who knows? Who knows anything anymore? I don't. Where did I just talk on this podcast? Anyway, we got the election coming up. That's gonna be fun for everyone. Everyone will be happy. No one will be upset. Certainly not 50% or so of the populace of the United States. They won't be devastated no matter what happens. I have made my political views clear. I don't vote. Okay? If I really gave a chat, I would vote. And then you could flame me for whoever I picked and you didn't like or praise me because I picked the person that you liked whatever. I don't vote. Alright, I'm not saying this is some like braggadocious.

Oh, look at me. I'm so cool. I don't vote. I just don't focus. I don't care. I genuinely don't care. Do I want someone to win more than another person? Sure. I'm leaning towards I'd prefer Trump to win because I agree with his policies. No, it's actually quite a selfish reason. Trump deregulates almost everything and that's generally good for the crypto industry and I am heavily involved in the crypto industry. So that's why I like him in terms of winning this election. I also, and I'm sorry if this rubs you the wrong way, find Kamala Harris to be particularly disingenuous as far as politicians go, which is really saying something. I don't know what she stands for. She changes her mind constantly, which is not in and of itself a bad thing. I just I don't know where she stands. I don't think Donald Trump is trying to run an autocrat autocratic society. I don't think he's Hitler. He was our president before he wasn't hit Larry and I find that type of rhetoric to be ridiculous. It's hyper balic. I don't agree with it. And I just don't really think that Kamala Harris is someone I understand what she stands for or what she's about. I also find her laugh to be troublesome. Anyway, that's where I stand. I don't really care. I'm gonna have a little election party for my family. Some people want Trump to win.

Some people definitely don't want Trump to win. We're gonna have Buffalo wings. It's just an excuse to have Buffalo wings. That's really all it is. There's no other ulterior motive behind it. It's just straight up Buffalo wings. Any excuse to have Buffalo wings. How many times can I say Buffalo wings? A lot of times apparently. Okay. So that is going on. Speaking of crypto, I'm adding a module to the crypto course which I see some of you have picked up recently. Good for you. You're getting the message. Bitcoin's here about like 73 almost 74,000 today. Should hit 100k. If not the end of this year, definitely in 2025. It's gonna be a fun time to get involved in crypto. I've been particularly involved in the Solana ecosystem. Meme coins really fits in with my magic bean theories. When I first got into crypto, I thought there's all these utilitarian use cases of blockchain technology. It's so revolutionary. It's gonna change the world.

It's gonna make things more fair and equitable. I've abandoned that. It's just magic beans. And if you can find the right magic beans that grow into the giant beanstalk that you can climb up into financial independence, that's that's all we're doing. It's magic beans. So meme coins really fit into that theory. So the new module I will be adding probably this week or Tuesday. Yeah, I think I can add it this week is gonna be primarily focused on the Solana blockchain. Maybe a little base layer to Ethereum chain stuff. Meme coins. How to look at block explorers, how to track wallets, how to identify trends before they happen.

Technical aspects, but as you know, if you've purchased the course or taken the course or listened to me speak about this stuff, it's not just the technical aspects that are involved with cryptocurrency. A lot of it is managing emotions, kind of the spiritual aspects of cryptocurrency, which I know seem kind of oxymoronic, but truly is not. We'll be covering that as well. So you can check that out. I'll put a link in the show notes, but that's on my stand store. Still discounted, I believe. I'm gonna put the price back up to its regular price saga 2025. And then finally, before we get into the meat of the episode, the astrology, what do I say like that? Because I was gonna say astrological. The astrology readings are open as well as the tarot readings, which are audio only right now. The astrology readings are via zoom. Those will be recorded and sent to you. We've been having a lot of fun with those. We do those on the live streams often for the Patreon, which is also still rocking. So if you're interested on that, those are also reduced price until the end of the year. So you can go sign up for any of those if you want to get a reading, crypto course, whatever it is. You know, all the various offerings one does in today's digital landscape. All right, let's get to the episode. So I every week do readings for the Patreon. I pull cards, typically a three card spread, and I talk about, you know, what this week is about. Sometimes it'll be kind of for the rest of the month, sometimes for the season or the rest of the year. And a lot of stuff has been coming up kind of about setting your own intention and compass and being able to, you know, find your own path, find your own way of doing things, but also how to manage expectations, right? A lot of times what happens with the manifestation techniques, whether it's the imaginal stuff or something else is, you find a new one, you get super gung ho about it, you put all your energy into it, and you know, you get some results. You're like, Holy shit, this is life changing. This is going to change my life. I'm always going to use this. This is the most important thing ever. I'm never going to forget how amazing this is. And I just I can't believe I revolutionized my life with these amazing findings. Wow, amazing. And then the honeymoon period tends to die down. And this happens with any relationship, not just with a physical relationship with another human being, but with anything we identify with or discover. There's this beautiful honeymoon period where you're so in love and you can't believe you discovered each other and it couldn't be anymore. It'll always be so perfect and it's gonna last forever. And then the real reality of the relationship begins to set in and you realize there are pros and cons. There are difficulties, there are ebbs and flows. There's good and bad. And this often happens when we're doing our manifestation techniques is we start encountering obstacles, roadblocks, challenges, chaos, things that typically we can circumvent when we find a new thing and put our energy into it. The way I would a metaphor I like to use because this is just something that is applied to my life is I have been, you know, a music producer for a long time and, you know, I'll find a new plugin like a new effects unit or I'll find a new soft synthesizer or a new physical synthesizer and I'll get so into that synthesizer or effects unit and I will just use it for everything. I'll go through all the presets. I'll go through all the parameters. I'll play with it and it's like so amazing. I put it in all my songs. It's so incredible. I'm gonna use this forever. And then, you know, after a few months, maybe a year, like, I need a new one. It's not, I need something new sounds, new effects and this is just something that happens and it's okay that it happens. You're actually building up a repertoire of things and kind of a arsenal of tools that you can use but if you allow it to get to the point where you discard what you've discovered and kind of say, "Oh, well, this isn't really that useful. It's not doing what it did for me before. It's not as effective as I thought it was." Then you can kind of fall out of love with this stuff and that's not how relationships, at least long-term relationships, are built or crafted or sustained most importantly. So what do we do when we are working on something or implementing some technique or strategy and it's just not giving us the outcomes we want it. Let's say it's not giving us the outcomes we wanted, also in the time frame that we wanted. Now, granted, we tend to put artificial time frames on things. We say, "Well, it needs to happen within this time frame or it just isn't. It doesn't work." And we do this all the time, not just with like, you know, imaginal techniques or spiritual modalities. We say, "Well, this has to happen by then or it just doesn't work." And like, you know, you could look at the dolphins is doing this to me. They need to win a Super Bowl at some point in my life. Is that too big of an artificial constraint to put on that the dolphins can win a fucking Super Bowl in my lifetime? Fuck! Jesus Christ, guys, what is going on? You lose to the fucking Cardinals on the last play. This team is destroying my soul. I'm not happy with them. I'm really not happy with them. I don't like it. I'm glad to his back. He's so much better than I thought he was, but they're just destroying me. Anyway, I haven't fallen out of love with the dolphins, but I have realized it's an abusive relationship and I am a battered wife in this relationship and it's not fair and it's not nice. And I go to the police and they say, "What can you do? Just leave them. Leave them. They're beating you. Why are you staying with them?" I don't know. I love them. They're good to me. Sometimes they win and do nice things for me and they're like, "You're an idiot."

And I'm like, "I know." So I get it. Anyway, artificial constraints on timelines of when we want something to happen. What do you do? What are your options at that point? Well, certainly one option is to just give up and say, "You know what? This doesn't work. It's never going to work. Maybe I just got lucky. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Maybe it was just the bridge of incidents that led to that. I just had good timing. It really doesn't have anything to do with the technique itself. It's just I got lucky. It was just good, good fortune, you know? I found it at the right time or I used to work and now it doesn't work. Or maybe I was in the right headspace and now I'm not, so therefore it doesn't work. It's one thing you can do. The other thing you can do is say, "Well, you know what? Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Maybe there's something I'm missing. Maybe I need to go back to the drawing board and discover what that key component is that I'm not doing correctly." And again, both of these are kind of blaming another thing, right?

In one case, it's blaming that the thing doesn't work anymore. The technique doesn't work anymore. The second one is blaming yourself that you're not doing something, right? And blame game isn't going to get you anywhere with this stuff. It's just not how it works. It's not something that is, it's not the root issue. So the gist of what I'm suggesting this week and you know, related to all this stuff is that essentially there is a key that opens a door. And one of the things that we do, right, is we begin to doubt and question whether a key is going to fulfill its intended purpose. Now I've spoken about this before. It's like if you have a key to your house or you have a key to your car or you have the fob to your car that you push the button and all those people don't have keys anymore. But anyway, you don't question whether that's going to open the door to your house. You don't question whether it's going to turn your car on. You've done it enough. You've seen it work. You accept that this key opens this door, that this key turns on this car. It's just something you accept. It's not even a process that you even investigate consciously. It's like autonomic. You basically just know that it's going to happen. So there is that key for everything we want in life, for every desire we have, for every experience, for every relationship. The key is, of course, our imagination. It is the skeleton key of life. The problem is, is we don't necessarily remember that it is a skeleton key. And then if the key gets stuck every once in a while and we have to wiggle it and jam it and we think there's something wrong with the lock even, or maybe there's definitely something wrong with the key, we say, "Oh, this key doesn't work. I need a new key," or maybe no keys are going to work.

Maybe I just have to get a completely new door or a completely new car because it's busted and it's broken. That's basically what we do when our manifestation techniques don't pan out. And it is very normal. This is not me saying you are doing something wrong if you get to this point. In fact, I would, it would be weirder if you didn't get to this point where you question the validity of whether this works or not. That would be weirder. If this is just something that constantly worked for you, snap of the fingers, magic wand every single time without issue, without fail. What is, what would be the function of that? That you've discovered, you know, the holy grail, the magical room stone that does whatever you want. Cool, that's nice.

That's more for like the astral realm or a dream world. That's not what we do in this realm in case you haven't discovered it yet. This is a realm where we learn things through struggle, where we learn things through tension, where we even learn things through suffering. And you can question whether that's a place we want to be or not, but the reality of the situation is this is where we are. This is where we find our consciousness blocked, not, I don't like locked or trapped, but we are here for a significant portion of our lives. Our consciousness is in this realm where that is how we learn lessons.

So you can question why that is. What is the functional reality of why that is? Is it just to fuck with us? Is it just to make us feel shitty when we think we've had it all figured out and all of our life's dreams and goals are just at our fingertips, and then they slip through some sand that we're trying to grasp onto, some magical item, and it turns to dust in our fingers, like it's fucking endgame Avengers, and it just goes away. No, that's one way to look at it. But again, the more you go in that direction, I think the more nihilistic you can become. And then you begin to think this is all just some pointless, eternal cyclical struggle game that is just no point to it, and we're just here to suffer, and why are we even born, and why did we get brought into this reality?

Why did we incarnate? And to me, that's never really, but I don't feel more alive. And this is a good question to ask yourself. When you get into a state where you think that everything is pointless and hopeless, do you feel alive? Do you feel alive? Do you feel like that's really living, that you're really tapping into the essence of what it is to be alive, or do you feel disconnected from that? These are important questions to ask yourself when you're feeling like that, because it's very likely you will feel like that in your life at some point. Going forward, you already maybe have felt like that, maybe you feel like that right now. Do you feel more present and alive?

Or do you feel alive when things are luminous, when they're divine? When the magic is filtering in and funneling into your life? Do you feel more alive then? And if the question, if the answer is yes, then you then need to ask yourself, well, how do I get myself to that point? How do I get myself to a point where I can remember that I possess this magical key that opens any door that I put it into? Then you can say, okay, I at least know the track I'm supposed to be on. Here's this magical key. Now let's figure out what door I'm trying to open. And this would be your intention. This would be your goal.

What your desires can lead you here. They take you to this door. You can say, all right, I would like to have a feeling of freedom, right, related to resources and abundance. That is something I very much want to resonate with. Can this magical key, can my skeleton key, open this door? And let's say the answer you get back is yes. Well, then how do I fit this key into the door? And one of the reasons that I know it's annoying and one of it's just, I know I harp on it over and over again. And sometimes this can feel very natural. Sometimes it can feel very not natural and you have to work at it.

But it is cultivating a sense of faith and belief. And it does have to do with, often at times, almost like a absolute persistence and rejection of evidence that it is not true. And I think this is where most of us encounter the biggest stumbling blocks or obstacles is we get evidence or we get feedback that what we believe or what we thought to be true isn't so. And we accept that evidence and we accept that kind of rationale or reason or logic. And we say, you know what, I was just tripping. I thought it was like this. You know, maybe it was the drugs. Maybe it was just I was in the right place at the right time or I felt a certain way and I just, you know, that's not really how life is.

It's just not how it works. And you begin to accept the logic and reasons that this doesn't work. And it doesn't matter how many times you've used the skeleton key in the past. That's the weird thing. You would think once you use the skeleton key and achieved all these incredible things and accomplished and just experienced all these incredible things that you would remember forever that this is a skeleton key that works all of the time. But we don't. We forget. We are very fickle creatures at the end of the day. We are swayed by our emotions. We are swayed by logic and reason. We are swayed by narratives and the opinions of others. And you know, you can say that sucks and woe is me, but that's also kind of a fun game we play with ourselves. It's fun to play hide and seek with our own self as God. That is essentially what we're doing. I believe the journey of life is a constant kind of rediscovering of our innate divinity. You can view that as a tragic, you know, shitty experience, or you can view it as an amazing fun game that you would turnily get to play while you were alive and forgetting that you're God, right? That's your choice at any given point in time. And the fact of the matter is, is you're probably not going to stay in one of those mindsets all of the time. You go back and forth, you oscillate everything in our realm in this world is created through vibrations, right? I'm not saying this in some hippie sort of way, saying that the actual literal fundamental structure of this world is vibrations, right? Even at the quantum level, they believe that the quantum string theory says that there's these vibrating strings that fundamentally make up the quantum world. So not just the larger Newtonian world, but the quantum world is also vibrations. The question is, is if we're vibrating at a certain thing, what are vibrations? They're oscillations that go up and down. If you've ever seen a visual representation of a sine wave, it literally is like a snake, it goes up and down, up and down, up and down. That is the experience of life. You can smooth that up and down. You can make those arcs smaller or larger. That's up to you personally. That's how you want to live your life. I am someone who tends to go big arcs, you know, big arcs. And that's can be fun and exhilarating. And it can be super not fun and terrifying. That's just how I've played the game for most of my life. But it is something you can modulate, right? It's something you can change.

You don't have to play it the same way all of the time. And that's where our skeleton key comes in. You can meta change your relationship with manifestation, with spirituality, with how you process emotions. And I think that's why we get these examples in reality collectively and individually. So we can specifically tune ourselves to say, what is the life I want to be experiencing? What is the life I want to be living? Do I want to be pulled in every direction that my emotions take me to? That's one way of living. And certainly in the age of social media, we're being slammed with digital content narratives nonstop before on our phones or devices, you're going to be pulled in every which way you are then going to get sucked into this game of identity, right? I identify with this cause I identify with these people. How could those people do this to these people? I'm one of these people and those people are doing this to me. That's not nice. That's not right. That's bad. I oppose that. You some people play that game. I would say not only for one lifetime, but many lifetimes, even thousands, maybe millions of lifetimes. At a certain point, for me at least, you begin to question that process. Do you want to be led around by a string or a carrot dangling in front of you, which are your emotions pulling you around? I am not someone who is down on emotions.

I think emotions are wonderful things. It's an amazing way to intuit what is going on. I think people should trust their emotions and their guts. But if it's the only modality you use to suss out, whether something is true or not, or whether you should go in a particular direction, you may be in for some not so fun experiences. And that's not to say you only use logic or reason on the other hand. It's a synthesis of both of those. I've spoken about this many times, the harmony, the balance between masculine and feminine energies, between light and dark, shadow and light, good and bad. That's what we're looking to do. That's what we're really looking to balance more than anything else. It's not one is better than the other. And one could say, well, you know what, good is always better than bad. Yeah. Okay, sure. That's that's plain. We can agree. No one who's going to specifically be going for bad experiences. But again, bad is subjective. Have you ever had an experience where as you were going through it, it was the worst fucking thing ever. And then you look back later retrospectively and we're like, Oh my God, thank God I went through that experience. If I hadn't gone through that experience, I would have been far worse place. You could be stuck in a bad relationship. You could be stuck in a bad job.

You could be stuck living in a place you didn't want to live in. You'd be stuck in any situation where if you hadn't gone through that acute period of suffering, maybe even prolonged period of suffering, you would have been in a situation that's far worse. Maybe you wouldn't discover, you wouldn't have discovered your potential, your worth, your value. So it's, it's important not to quickly judge things and make these grand proclamations about what is and what isn't. You can do that with some things, not a lot of things. One of those things that I think we can constantly investigate is whether this power of imagination, this power to create resonant realities for ourselves that we step into and embody and whether then those then get projected out into the world, whether that's a reality or not, is something that I think is worth investigating constantly throughout our lives. And I understand when things don't work out the way we wanted to want them to, to throw the baby out with the bath water. And I say, you know, it's just a scam. It's, it doesn't work. It's, it's not for me. Um, I've found that when, you know, the imaginal techniques or things like that cease to be as effective as I would like them to or remember them to, it's usually because of a lack of effort on my part. And if it's not a lack of effort, it's certainly a lack of belief or faith. And that can sound like victim blaming, but I'm not saying that for anyone else. I'm saying that for myself. This is what I've noticed. I don't put in the time, the energy, the effort. I'm not sitting there at night running through these kind of scenarios and trying to resonate with them vibrationally. You know, I may be blaming a situation or circumstance or a person, right? Those are the mentalities that I typically find myself in when things aren't as flowy as I would like them to be. And if you do find yourself in a situation where things aren't as flowy as you would like them to be, take a second and just realize maybe this is happening for a reason. Maybe I can't see it right now, but maybe in a few months or a few weeks or a years or whatever it is, I'm going to look back and realize this shaped me into exactly who I needed to be. And you can look at this as like delusionally optimistic, sure. And this isn't negating that like bad things happen in life. I'm not saying that like there aren't shitty objectively and subjectively shitty things that happen to us as individuals, right? We deal with death. We deal with sickness. We deal with dying. We deal with illness. We deal with lots of things.

But it's how you kind of frame all of this in your life and use it as something that either uplifts you or pushes you down or keeps you stagnant. And that's always a choice. It's like these Indian, the Gunas, the three Gunas, there's Rajas, Thomas and Satva, right? Rajas is this movement activity action. Thomas is this sloth-like stagnation, not moving. And Satva is this like wisdom element that kind of transcends the other two Gunas and allows us to realize the innate beauty and truth of the world. Now, what's interesting about the three Gunas is they're also kind of illusory. They create this world, this world of Maya, but they're not the fundamental reality. Even past those are this transcendent reality of Brahma, the true nature of what is. So while we're in this three Gunas world of these conditional experiences creating what we experience, there's something beyond that that I think we innately and intuitively know is there, but we can't always touch. We can't feel it. We can't sense it with our five senses. And that's where we use that skeleton key I've been talking about. Can you sense it with your imagination?

Can you perceive something that isn't physically there? Can you get in touch with and vibrationally resonate with realities that are not seen, touched, smelled, tasted, felt, right? Are you able to do that? The techniques that I've covered so many times from Neville Goddard and plenty of other mystics that we cover, those all work. But fundamentally, it's up to you to set your intention, set your goals, set and then practice this stuff. Practice makes perfect is not just a cliche. There's a reason that you hear it from the most accomplished musicians and artists. Your life is a song that you are playing. The notes of your life are the experiences that you have. The notes that you play are the situations that you've gone through. Then you get to choose how do I want to craft this song? Which notes do I want to play? Where have I learned which notes when played together sound good? Do I want to play several notes at the same time that makes a beautiful chord? Do I want to string several of those chords together to make a nice movement?

Right? This is what we're learning how to do. You also need to discover what notes sound not good together. The dissonance, right? Oh, if I play this note next to that note, it doesn't sound the way I want it to. That's not a horrible fucking worst mistake you fucked up in your life. Your outcome wasn't what you wanted. So you messed up. You go, Oh, well, maybe I don't play those notes together. Maybe I play the other ones because that's the sound that I wanted to hear. That's the song I wanted to hear, right? And you can play someone else's song. You can learn the notes from other people and copy that and play it. Sure. But you can also make your own music.

And that to me has always been the most interesting part of being alive is making your own music. Discovering what already exists and synthesizing it into your own version of what is available to you and what you can potentially do. That to me is fascinating and I love it. Okay. That's it.
