55. Life is Just a Dark Forest

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000 So the big question is this, how do young men like us who didn't listen to society, who are on our own? 2 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,000 How do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow? 3 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000 That is the question and this show will give you the answers. 4 00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:28,000 My name is James Radzinski and welcome to The Ascend Momentum Show. 5 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,000 Welcome back. 6 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:40,000 So, it's been 10 episodes ago I discovered a document, a CIA document. 7 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:55,000 Episode 45 was when I started to talk about that CIA document, the declassified CIA document on the analysis and assessment of the gateway process. 8 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:02,000 Now, I've been doing some further research and I actually found another PDF. 9 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:14,000 So, before I had the analysis and assessment of the gateway process, Monroe Institute, who are, like I don't know exactly what it's called, 10 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:25,000 but the first paragraph caption or paragraph title was called Who Are We? and then the gateway process workbook. 11 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:37,000 And then I found another one the other day and I printed it out or I found the other one yesterday and I printed it out today at school. 12 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:46,000 And it is called My Experience at the Monroe Institute or something like that. 13 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,000 I have not read it yet, but I plan on reading it. 14 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000 So, I want to give an update. 15 00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:04,000 My CD was supposed to come today, but I do not believe it will come for a little while because 16 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:08,000 there's a delay at customs. 17 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000 So, I don't know, but that is what is happening right now. 18 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,000 And the CD is the first wave, so I bought the first wave of the gateway process. 19 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:25,000 But it's okay. 20 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:31,000 The world will bring it when it needs to come. 21 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:36,000 It will come when it needs to come. 22 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000 I want to talk about Transurfing. 23 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000 So, well, I want to talk about studying in particular. 24 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,000 So, as you guys know, I've been studying reality Transurfing for the past couple months. 25 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000 And I'm, it's almost coming to an end. 26 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000 I've almost completed it the second time. 27 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,000 I'm probably like 200 pages away from finishing it. 28 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:18,000 So, I'm probably like two weeks, two or three weeks maybe away from, I think two weeks away from completing it. 29 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000 So, what that means is I'm looking for the next book to read. 30 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:32,000 And I've already decided the next book I'm reading, and I'm actually going to read seven books. 31 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:40,000 This is what I've been, I've mentioned this before on the podcast, but I discovered this new reading method, 32 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000 which I want to test out because I'm not actually sure if it works or not. 33 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000 But if it does, it'll be very good. 34 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:55,000 It's basically where you get seven books all at once, pick up the first one, read until you lose focus, 35 00:03:55,000 --> 00:04:00,000 and then switch, and then read until you lose focus, then switch, and then keep cycling. 36 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000 And then every once in a while do some push-ups, and then just keep at it. 37 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:12,000 And the person who told me about that was the author of the Dancing After the Music Stops. 38 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:19,000 And I didn't read that book yet, but it's in my closet, and it's going to be in the first cycle of seven. 39 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000 And I learned about that on his website, The Most Beautiful World. 40 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:34,000 And I learned it on the part of its, on his website called The Reading List. 41 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:40,000 And if you go to The Most Beautiful World, and then go click on the Books option, 42 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000 and then on the top there's going to be the Reading List. 43 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:47,000 And then that's how you get to it. 44 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:54,000 And I'm pretty much going to follow that Reading List until I decide otherwise. 45 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:04,000 And I already made, I already decided upon the first seven books that I'm going to read for the first set. 46 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:14,000 The first seven books that I'm going to read, I added in a few that were not in the Reading List, or like one or two. 47 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000 And that's because I just want to read those as well. 48 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000 So the first seven books, I'll tell you. 49 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Toofty, The Priestess, it's by VatomZone. 50 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,000 And then Die Wise. 51 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000 And then, honestly, I forgot. 52 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,000 I'd have to, I forgot what the first seven books are. 53 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,000 I wrote it down though, so it should be fine. 54 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000 And then I know that Journey Out of Bodies is one of them. 55 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000 And then it's the Egypt Code, and then Sacred Economics. 56 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000 And then there's two more, I forgot which ones. 57 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:59,000 But one of them is like the third, or the second, I think it's the second book on the Reading List. 58 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000 And then there's another one, maybe the fourth, or third, I mean. 59 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:10,000 I'm not sure exactly, but I wrote it down during class, and that is basically my plan. 60 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000 I'm going to try and read a book a day. 61 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Or at least like more than one book a week using this reading method. 62 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000 I'm going to try and crank out all of these books in the Reading List. 63 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,000 I'm going to try and get them all done, because that's the ultimate reading list for human beings. 64 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:33,000 And my knowledge will greatly expand once I read all those. 65 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,000 So that's pretty much where I'm at with that. 66 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,000 And also my bolt score is 11 seconds. 67 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,000 So it's not going up that much. 68 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000 I'm kind of stagnant. 69 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,000 But today it actually rained all day. 70 00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:01,000 And I biked no matter what, rain or shine. 71 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:11,000 And that was honestly, it is so valuable to follow coordinating intention. 72 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:18,000 It's one of the principles in Transurfing, and I think it's one of the most powerful principles. 73 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:31,000 Because if you, coordinating intention is basically perceiving everything that happens to you as beneficial to you or positive. 74 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:37,000 So whenever you come across an event, whenever an event happens in your life, you're at a crossroads. 75 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:43,000 There is basically two paths that you can take moving forward once an event happens. 76 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000 You can either take the negative path or the positive path. 77 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:55,000 And whichever path you choose will be the outcome of that event. 78 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:02,000 So, and the way you choose is through your relationship to that event. 79 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000 So let's say you stub your toe. 80 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:15,000 You can either curse the world, get really angry, get mad, and be pissed off for the rest of the day. 81 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,000 Or you can just ignore it. 82 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000 Or you can actually jump for joy and rejoice. 83 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,000 Because you can like do whatever. 84 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:33,000 And I usually just ignore it because I don't really, sometimes I do like yes or something like that. 85 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000 But I usually just ignore it. 86 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:44,000 And what that does is it protects, so when you get angry, you're causing that situation to be actually bad. 87 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,000 And then what happens is another situation gets thrown at you, which is worse. 88 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,000 And then you interpret that bad again. And then it just repeats. 89 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,000 So then you get down this downhill cycle. 90 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:06,000 But when you just don't react at all, you could, you're simply just protecting yourself from the next situation, negative situation. 91 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:13,000 And then also what this can do, let's say you get fired from your job. 92 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000 And then you interpret that as really bad. 93 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:25,000 You are like depressed, you get super angry at the world, you just interpret it negatively in general. 94 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:31,000 That will actually cause you to get even worse events. 95 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000 Or your life will basically go on a downhill spiral. 96 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000 Simply because of your relationship to that event. 97 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:45,000 Now, if you were to have interpreted it as good and the world is looking out for you, 98 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,000 and the world has something else in mind, or you would have been like everything happens for a reason, 99 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000 like this is actually working out for the best for me. 100 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:03,000 If your relationship to you getting fired from your job is that, then it will be just that. 101 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,000 And then it will actually turn out to be a positive event. 102 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,000 Like your life will actually turn positive as a result. 103 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:24,000 Like you'll end up finding this other job, or you'll end up creating a new business that is way better and your life ends up better, or something like that. 104 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,000 It's all about your relationship to problems, and it's all about your relationship to the world. 105 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:39,000 So since the world is a mirror, the mirror of the world reflects your relationship to it. 106 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:48,000 So if you were to curse at the world, then it will curse at you back, and then your life will be terrible. 107 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:56,000 If you are to jump for joy and rejoice every single thing that happens and love the world, well then the world will love you back. 108 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:05,000 And this is something that I did put into practice my first time I read Transurfing, and I did it for a while. 109 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,000 And then recently, like maybe a month ago, I actually just stopped. 110 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000 Like I gradually just stopped for some reason. 111 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:24,000 But now I'm trying to put it, I'm putting it back into practice, and I've definitely found like results because just little, even just little things. 112 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000 So my routine is very strict in the morning especially. 113 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:34,000 I do the same exact thing every single morning, and that involves cooking. 114 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:48,000 And a lot of the times, often, like sometimes maybe once a week, I'm missing like butter, or I'm missing some ingredient in my, like, that I need to cook with. 115 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:57,000 And before I read Transurfing, I would have just got pissed off about it, and then just kept cooking, kept going out my day, but I'd just be mad about that. 116 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:05,000 And then I just go on a downhill spiral because I would get thrown into another negative situation, and then I get mad. 117 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:14,000 But since I'm following coordinating intention, I don't follow it for little nuisances like that. 118 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:24,000 I don't like get excited because I find it difficult to get excited, so I do the next best thing, which is to simply just do not even react. 119 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,000 Just be like, oh, okay, just be absolutely empty to it. 120 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,000 And you always get through it. 121 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:40,000 Like, it's not the end of the world if you don't have butter, and you have to use like, because I always have coconut oil or olive oil. 122 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,000 So if I don't have butter, I'll just use olive oil or coconut oil. 123 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000 Like, it's no big deal. 124 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:52,000 And simply just react like empty, be empty to it. 125 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000 Don't even react to it at all. 126 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000 Just go on with your day and don't let it disturb you. 127 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,000 But there's a lot of other things that are actually, I actually do react positively too. 128 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:15,000 And I'm blanking on specific examples right now, but there are a lot of times throughout the day where just little things happen. 129 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:29,000 Like, actually today, for example, we didn't really have, we actually had like fruit, but we didn't have any like snacking fruit like grapes or berries or anything. 130 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:36,000 But today, when I looked in the fridge, there were grapes and then there were blackberries. 131 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000 And we never have blackberries. 132 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000 So I looked in the fridge and I was like, oh, that's awesome. 133 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000 Like the world is taking care of me. 134 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000 Like, this is amazing. 135 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000 And so I actually had blackberries. 136 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,000 And there's just those little things that happen. 137 00:13:50,000 --> 00:14:01,000 And then, Adam Zellin said that coordination is the most effective means of traveling the alternative space, traveling across the alternative space. 138 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:13,000 And the alternative space is basically, it basically has everything that was, is, and will be. 139 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:19,000 And it is the, so when you're in the dream, when you're dreaming, anything is possible. 140 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,000 It's because you're flying through the alternative space. 141 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:29,000 But when you're awake and you're in waking reality, then it, like there are like set things. 142 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:37,000 There's, it's kind of like anything is possible, but it takes a while to happen, basically. 143 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:44,000 And that's because the material sector is only one specific sector of the alternative space. 144 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000 So the alternative space is this big whole thing. 145 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,000 But the materialized area is only this one area. 146 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000 So imagine a, this is actually one example he gave. 147 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000 So imagine walking through a dark forest. 148 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000 Now that entire dark forest is the alternative space. 149 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,000 But imagine you're walking with a lamp, like a fire or like a torch. 150 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,000 That lit up area is the materialized sector. 151 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,000 So that's like the world we live in, that lit up area. 152 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:21,000 And you can move around. So when you're walking around that forest, you're basically walking towards your goal. 153 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:28,000 So let's say you walk towards your, towards the goal, like, you know where the goal is in the alternative space. 154 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,000 So you know where your goal is in the forest. 155 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000 You simply just have to walk towards it. 156 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,000 And that's basically what that is. 157 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:43,000 So the way you walk towards it is by following coordination, which is to go with the flow, remain balanced, 158 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:50,000 and like reduce your grip of control, interpret all events as positive. 159 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,000 And I feel like I'm missing something, but that's pretty much the gist. 160 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:58,000 Like basically just listen to your heart and mind. 161 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000 That's what I was missing also. 162 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,000 Listen to your heart and mind and unify them. 163 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:07,000 So have your left brain and your right brain unified. 164 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:14,000 And the way you, and then you just keep, you go with the flow and move one step forward in front of the other. 165 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000 You visualize your target slide. 166 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:22,000 So visualize what the destination, your goal as it has already been achieved. 167 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:27,000 And then you visualize the current sector of the transfer link. 168 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:36,000 So visualize your current like objective right now, or your current task that you have to do in like the near future, like close, close future. 169 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:42,000 And so I want to bring you back to that forest. 170 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:48,000 So basically I'm going to create a metaphor. 171 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:58,000 The world like life, life is simply just you are placed in a forest, you are given a torch, and it's dark out. 172 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000 So you're placed in a dark forest. 173 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:06,000 Now life is all about you getting to your goal, right? 174 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000 So we're trying to get to our goals. 175 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:17,000 You have your, you were placed in one spot that's not near your goal, but you know your goal. 176 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:26,000 So you know kind of what, you know the direction to walk towards, but you don't know the specific, like, you don't know the specific path to get to your goal. 177 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:35,000 You kind of just know the direction. And basically all you do is you place, you know your goal, go with the flow. 178 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000 So you, and then you place one foot in front of the other. 179 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,000 So just keep on walking one foot in front of the other. 180 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:52,000 And then whenever you come across, let's say there's a river or something like that, that's like, that's an obstacle. 181 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,000 You reduce your, you reduce the importance. 182 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:09,000 And then what that does is you are able to like have a clear mind of that problem. 183 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:14,000 And then a lot of the times that problem, and then what you do is you release the grip of control of that situation. 184 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:25,000 Say you will let that situation resolve itself or actually since a river is probably not going to move, let's use a better example. 185 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,000 Let's say you come across a snake, like a venomous snake. 186 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:36,000 So you are walking forward towards your goal and then there's a snake in front of you on the path. 187 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:40,000 So basically all you have to do is release your grip of control in the situation. 188 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:45,000 So let the situation play out. Don't try and manage or control the situation. 189 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,000 Just let the situation play out of its own accord, but you first drop your importance. 190 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:56,000 So make sure that snake only arise because you created that problem. 191 00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:02,000 So drop the importance associated with it and go with the flow. 192 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:11,000 So basically allow that situation to kind of develop on its own. 193 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,000 And then what will happen is the snake will actually just move out of your way. 194 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:23,000 And then you can continue to place one foot in front of the other being mindful of your importance levels and keeping them at a zero. 195 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,000 And then eventually there will be something that happens. 196 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:37,000 You'll discover your door. So you'll discover the right path or the route towards that goal. 197 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:43,000 And when that happens, then you enter that door and then you walk that path. 198 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:53,000 So let's say you find a job or you find a business or you, I don't know, but it's basically your path towards the goal. 199 00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:00,000 And then what happens is you keep walking forward and you're 100% guaranteed success. 200 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:10,000 Since this is your goal and your door, you're 100% guaranteed success unless you yourself decide against it. 201 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:20,000 And the way you decide against it is by one giving up or placing too much importance, creating dependent relationships, 202 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:31,000 and trying to control the situation like not going with the flow, trying to control everything. 203 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:39,000 But if you simply just follow coordination and keep placing one foot forward in front of the other, you're guaranteed success. 204 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:45,000 And then eventually you will walk over to that goal. 205 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:51,000 Now, let's go back. Let's say, I want to remind you of what I said a little bit earlier. 206 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:59,000 Coordination is the most effective means of traveling across the alternative space. 207 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,000 That's what Vadom Zan said. 208 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:10,000 Now I'm reminding you this because let's go back to that forest example where you had your torch and you were walking towards your goal. 209 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,000 You encountered a snake, you encountered all this stuff. 210 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:21,000 And then you found your door, but in the forest you're walking with your torch, right? 211 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:30,000 That initial spot you were at, the second you moved away from it, it was not lit up anymore. 212 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:35,000 So it was not bright. It just like disappeared, kind of. 213 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:41,000 So that means that your life will shift and changes will happen. 214 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:49,000 So your initial scenery, your initial kind of script, when you were originally at that first spot, 215 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:59,000 let's say you started in the middle of the forest and there was three, you knew the, you were just standing there for years. 216 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000 And you knew that scenery very well. There was three bushes to your left. 217 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:14,000 There was a apple tree to your right. There was a pond on the floor, a small pond with two fish in there. 218 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000 Like you knew that scene very well and you were very comfortable with it. 219 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:25,000 So the second you move away from it and you start moving towards your goals, changes will happen in your life. 220 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:34,000 So now instead of the three bushes to your left, there might be only one now. So that's a change. 221 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:50,000 Now, a lot of, like the natural human tendency is to interpret that as bad because anything that is not in the mind's like plan or script is like, 222 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,000 interpret is bad because the mind cannot see that it's helpful. 223 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:03,000 So let's say when you lose that area, so you're walking towards your goal and you're in a new area, there's only one bush. 224 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:09,000 There is no pond and there is like a banana tree instead. 225 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:19,000 You're gonna, you're probably gonna interpret it as bad. You're gonna be like, no, no, like this is bad. 226 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,000 But no, this is actually good because you're moving towards your goals. 227 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:32,000 And then that original location is no longer materialized. It's no longer in you. 228 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:36,000 Like it's no longer in your layer of the world. 229 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:43,000 And then once you move, keep on moving one foot forward and further in front of the other in like two months, 230 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,000 you're gonna be in an absolutely different environment. 231 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:50,000 Maybe instead of being in the forest, you might be in the jungle now. 232 00:23:50,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Maybe, maybe you'll be in like the jungle with a bunch of like thicket and it's gonna be like a very, like, like a way different environment. 233 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000 Or maybe you'll be in the desert, an absolutely different environment. 234 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,000 These are all changes, but this is the path that gets to your goal. 235 00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:18,000 Like the world knows the path. We do not know the path. It's impossible for the mind to know the path towards our goal. 236 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:27,000 And so when you're, when you were originally in your comfortable area and mind you, it was only comfortable because you were used to it. 237 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,000 Like it wasn't comfortable necessarily. 238 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:36,000 Like the old couch, the old chair is always more comfortable than the new chair. 239 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:44,000 Even though the new chair has brand new, fresh, like padding and the padding is like luxury. 240 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,000 And it's like, especially made for comfort. 241 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:57,000 The old chair is more comfortable because you're used to it and it's like Ben, it's like your normal, it's your norm. 242 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:05,000 Like that new chair, you're not used to it. You're not, it's like change. It's change. 243 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:14,000 And so that desert, once you get to the desert and you're not in the jungle anymore, you make it to the desert. 244 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,000 That's change and you're not going to like it. 245 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,000 But you just have to remind yourself that this is the path forward. 246 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,000 Like this is the path that the world has given me. 247 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,000 Like I cannot, like there's no way for me to know the right path forward. 248 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:34,000 And whatever you plan, like if you plan for something to have, it rarely happens. 249 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:41,000 So let me give you an example of when you plan for something to happen. 250 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:53,000 I, like many episodes back, it was probably posted on like the, I don't know, it was like before September. 251 00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:03,000 I was talking about how I wanted to, I wasn't going to check the analytics on my podcast. 252 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:09,000 And for some context, I was checking my analytics on the podcast over maybe the first one or two weeks. 253 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000 And then I stopped. 254 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,000 And the first one or two weeks, I was getting consistent growth. 255 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:26,000 And then, but I was only at like less than 300 views, like downloads total. 256 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:33,000 And then once I, I kind of just stopped and then I realized that I hadn't checked my analytics for a while. 257 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,000 So I decided to wait until like September. 258 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,000 And then I checked then and I created this whole plan. 259 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:51,000 Oh, since I'm growing very fast, I will have like thousands of downloads and thousands of people listening to me on every single episode. 260 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:56,000 And so when that happens and I check the analytics, I'll be able to monetize. 261 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:03,000 And then once, once the show, and then I'll monetize the show and offer a coaching session. 262 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,000 And then I'll do five coaching sessions for $100 an hour. 263 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:16,000 And then I was gonna, I was gonna find a common theme. 264 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:27,000 So find a common like need or pain point amongst five different clients and then address that and create a product that addresses it. 265 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,000 And then that will be the business. 266 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000 And then I'll like create a business around that. 267 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,000 But the issue is I, my mind created that plan. 268 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,000 And there's no way for me to know. 269 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000 Like when you plan for something to happen, it rarely happens. 270 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,000 Like when you plan something now, it rarely happens that way. 271 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,000 Like ever, it never happens that way. 272 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000 And so that was my elaborate plan. 273 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000 But who am I to like know my right path forward? 274 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,000 I'm still walking through the jungle and I haven't made it to the desert yet. 275 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000 And who knows what's after that? 276 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,000 Who knows if I'm even going to the desert? 277 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,000 Who knows? 278 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000 Like I'm not, I'm not to know. 279 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,000 Maybe I'm going to the like Antarctica or something. 280 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,000 I don't know. 281 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,000 Who knows my path? 282 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,000 No one. 283 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000 And like that's what I'm trying to put out. 284 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000 Like we cannot know our paths. 285 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:37,000 We simply can only know our goal and our door and like simply the all we had to do is just place one foot in front of the other and only focus on the present. 286 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000 But also focus on our goal too. 287 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:45,000 But that's, that's basically, that's basically all there is to it. 288 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,000 And I forgot about that to be honest. 289 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:55,000 Obviously because a couple of weeks ago I was literally creating a whole plan on to move forward. 290 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,000 Now that plan was good. 291 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000 Like it's good to have plans for entrepreneurship. 292 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:13,000 But the second it failed, like the second I realized that there was only like less than 300 downloads or less than 400 or something like that. 293 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,000 Like there was a little bit amount of downloads. 294 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:23,000 Once I realized that I still had basically the same analytics as I did a couple of weeks ago, I had two options. 295 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:29,000 I could either interpret it as bad or I could interpret it as good. 296 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:34,000 But what I chose was I simply did not even, I was like, oh, okay. 297 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,000 And then I realized I just didn't interpret it as bad. 298 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,000 I simply just realized my mistake. 299 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:45,000 I realized that, oh, who am I to, what's my, who am I to plan things out? 300 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:51,000 Like, who am I to know exactly my path forward? 301 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:57,000 And that's like, that's what we've been doing all our lives. 302 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:03,000 Like that's what most people do all their lives and look where it gets them. 303 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,000 Absolutely nowhere. 304 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:09,000 So if you want to be unlike the rest, you get to think unlike the rest. 305 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,000 And no one thinks like Transurfing. 306 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,000 So Transurfing is the way. 307 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:33,000 Let me get some water. 308 00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:37,000 So there's one thing that I was thinking about doing. 309 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:47,000 And it's because I, I'm not sure if I really like the way these episodes are playing out because 310 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,000 a lot of the times I go back and forth and back and forth. 311 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:55,000 Like a lot of times I'm talking about like Boltzcore and then the next second I'm talking about 312 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,000 meditating and then the next second I'm talking about Boltzcore again. 313 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000 Like there's no real structure. 314 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:09,000 I kind of just hit play, say my intro and hope for something to come out and then just roll with it. 315 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,000 And so I just wing it on all of my episodes. 316 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,000 There's no real script or structure. 317 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:23,000 But I was like earlier today or the other day I was thinking back because I used to listen to podcasts a lot. 318 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:28,000 And I remembered this one time of this one podcast that I used to listen to. 319 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:36,000 And I remember just this one minute where he was like talking about this. 320 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:42,000 He was talking about one topic, like one topic for like 20 minutes. 321 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:49,000 And then he was like, I just want to say this last thing real quick because I'm running out of time. 322 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:53,000 Even though there was still like 40 minutes left in the episode. 323 00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:02,000 And then once he said that thing, he switched to the next topic and then talked for like 20 minutes and then switched to the next one. 324 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:11,000 And so I don't know how he actually structures his podcast, but what I kind of determined from that memory today, 325 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:17,000 I determined that he writes down like three or four topics to talk about. 326 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:24,000 And then if there's four topics written down, he just talks about those in order. 327 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:33,000 So he spends 25 minutes talking about the first one and then switches 25 minutes talking about the second one and then switches. 328 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:37,000 Wait, I was thinking, I was thinking 100 minute episodes. 329 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000 No, it's 60 minute episodes. 330 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:48,000 He would spend 60 divided by four, so whatever that is, like two, four, six, wait, two, four, six. 331 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:53,000 I don't even wait, oh, 15. 332 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:59,000 Okay, so he would spend 15 minutes talking about the first and then 15 on the second. 333 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000 Like he would speak for 15 minutes on each topic. 334 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:17,000 And that has a lot more structure and that makes it so like the viewer has all of one, like the viewer is only focusing on one topic and then they can switch to the next completely. 335 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:24,000 And what I've been doing is I talk about one topic and then switch to the next and then switch to the next and then the next and then I go back to that first one. 336 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:37,000 So I don't know, like how, I don't know if you guys like it or not, like you shouldn't, if you have any like comments, let me know at my email at James at AscendMomentsum.com. 337 00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:53,000 And let me know about that because to be honest, that, like I want to know your input on that because I'm not even sure if I could, well, I'm sure I could think of like topics to talk about. 338 00:33:53,000 --> 00:34:04,000 For that day, but a lot of, I don't know if it would work out that well because that podcast I was listening to was not necessarily documenting the journey. 339 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:10,000 That podcast was simply just like teaching a lot of content. 340 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:18,000 So I'm sure they were learning the content along the way, but it was more of like a health podcast. 341 00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:31,000 And like what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to document my journey from being like a high school student broke to achieving my goals in life. 342 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,000 Like that's what I'm trying to document. 343 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,000 And I'm not sure if it would like work out. 344 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:48,000 I'm sure it would because basically I think that my, my episodes have followed a common structure throughout like, like this show. 345 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:58,000 Usually I start by talking about something that happened in my day and then I figure something out in the middle of that conversation. 346 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:07,000 Like today I was talking about, I don't even know what I was talking about, but then I like connected it to that forest. 347 00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,000 Like I was, I had no plan. 348 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,000 Like I, I hadn't even remembered about the forest. 349 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:20,000 Like I'm pretty sure he teaches like that forest metaphor in the beginning of Transurfing. 350 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:24,000 So the last time I read that was like two months ago, probably. 351 00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:33,000 So like I had no intention, like I hadn't even remembered about the forest for over two months, but it just popped in my head and I started talking about it. 352 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:38,000 And that like ended up being like a very long conversation. 353 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:52,000 So that's, I don't know if I'd be able to have the same quality because a lot of the times I feel like my best episodes are the ones that I just completely wing it. 354 00:35:52,000 --> 00:36:06,000 And then I get into the zone and then I just start going on like this long tangent or like talking about something and I just keep talking and spewing out a lot of information and everything just kind of clicks together. 355 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:14,000 And I feel like those are my best, but I'm a little worried that I may lose that aspect if I structure things. 356 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:30,000 But then again, I could just like have a loose structure where I, because this is kind of what I did in the beginning towards the beginning of my episodes where I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to think of a lot of different things to say. 357 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:41,000 And actually one episode after I stopped doing that one episode, I just like was having a really hard time getting in the zone or even thinking about stuff to say. 358 00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:51,000 So I actually went through and wrote out like seven or eight different topics to talk about and that got me into the zone. 359 00:36:51,000 --> 00:37:04,000 So that's like kind of what I did in the beginning where I would write down a bunch of different topics like some things that happened in my day, some lessons, and then just try and get through them all and like speak on them as much as I could. 360 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:12,000 But most of the time that would only last like less than 30 minutes. So then I'd still have to wing it for the rest of the episode. 361 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:21,000 And a lot of the times I, alright, so on my podcast editor, I use podcastle.ai. 362 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:41,000 Actually, before episode 28, before I got this microphone, I would record on this voice recorder and then upload it to podcastle.ai. But now I just record straight onto podcastle.ai because I have a microphone connected to my PC now. 363 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:57,000 And then I edit, but I don't like edit like normal. I just use their like software tools and it's basically just a background remover and then a noise leveling thing. 364 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:15,000 But there's also a third option and it's a remove the silence option. And what that is, is it just removes the silence. So that silence that just happened like one second ago that I just did, it would have removed that. 365 00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:42,000 And I, in the beginning, I was thinking like, maybe I should remove it. But then my rationale for not removing it was because I wanted it to be like an authentic unedited clip, like full clip and no edits, because that's like, what, that's the type of podcast I would listen to back in the day, just unedited clips. 366 00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:56,000 And those are like, when I would watch Hamza on YouTube, I would like those episodes the best where he would just be talking unedited for like an hour and a half or something like that. 367 00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:02,000 Like those were my favorite episodes. So that's like, kind of what I'm trying to do here. 368 00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:16,000 But there are a lot of times where I'm just like, just not thinking and I can't think of anything. And that's usually when I take my water, I usually like say, let me get some water and then I get my water. 369 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:31,000 So I can have enough time to think about something. But I don't know. And also in the beginning, this is how I can tell him, I'm making a lot of growth in my podcasting like even now, after 55 episodes, like it's, it's apparent. 370 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:43,000 It's very apparent, the growth that I've made from episode one to 55. Now I haven't re listened to episode one, since like I actually recorded it. 371 00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:56,000 I don't even think I've ever listened to it. But just from my memory, I know that this episode is way better than episode one. That's simply because my skills are getting better. 372 00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:18,000 Like, I remember episodes seven or 14 and 21. I think those episodes were like my best episodes yet. Like at the time. But I have a prediction that this episode is better than my best episode yet in the beginning, simply because my baseline skill level has increased. 373 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:34,000 And like on episode 21 or 20 or whichever episode it was, that was my best. That was like me in my peak form, like peak flow zone. I was in the zone. 374 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:49,000 But my baseline skill was really low because I was just starting like I was just 20 episodes in. But now that I'm 55 episodes in my baseline skill level, even if I'm not necessarily in the flow is like way higher. 375 00:40:49,000 --> 00:41:05,000 So that's what I'm thinking is that but I'll tell you another reason why I think that I've grown a lot like I've improved a lot more as a podcaster because going back to that. 376 00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:26,000 What's that thing called that know it remove the silence option on the podcast. It would say like how many silence, like how many silences there are. And in my in the beginning, there was like 1000 or like, like 800 silences. 377 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:44,000 Like there is 800 times in my one hour long episode where I was silent, like 800 times. Like that's a lot. And now it's still a lot. But I determined that anything that's below 500 is good. 378 00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:55,000 And yesterday it was like 380 silences. So it may have been yesterday or the day before like last time I really checked. 379 00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:11,000 And so that's like improvement. 380. I think is really good. And I'm actually very curious to see how much is in here because I feel like I was in the flow in the zone, a decent amount of like a decent percentage of this show. 380 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:27,000 So I don't know, I'm curious to see if I remember, I'll tell you guys how much I got yesterday or tomorrow in episode 56. I'll remind you but if I don't, whatever. But let me get some water. 381 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:56,000 So I just told you guys a couple minutes ago that the reason why I get often times the times when I get water, like I have to take a break to get waters because I kind of ended my flow, or I ended like that piece of 382 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:10,000 conversation and nothing new came in. So I wanted like a moment to figure out what to say next. And that's exactly what happened. And I did figure out something to say but I wanted to explain that first. 383 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:26,000 And I was going to talk about the heart and the mind. So this is something that I've been talking about a lot. And I'm going to explain the scientific reasoning behind it. And so you have two sides of your brain. 384 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:36,000 Everyone, like this is facts. Everyone knows this, or not necessarily everyone knows this, but like this is well known amongst like science, like this is a well known fact. 385 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:48,000 And if you just look at a brain, look up a picture of a brain, there's a left side and a right side and like it's split down the middle kind of. But actually, I don't know if it's split down the middle. 386 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:58,000 I have to, I'm going to look up a picture of the brain after this. I haven't looked at a picture in a while. But what I'm trying to say is there's a left side and there's a right side. 387 00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:11,000 And they actually do different things. So your left side, the left hemisphere, I don't know if the left hemisphere is the same thing as the left side, but I am just going to assume it is for these purposes. 388 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:30,000 And basically, the left side is all about receiving information, like interpreting information from the external world, like from every day. So right now your left side is in receiving this information. 389 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:48,000 And then it's also using logical analyzing, it's using reasoning, it's using language, it can understand language, and it's using like, I think it's what uses math as well. 390 00:44:48,000 --> 00:45:09,000 And then the right side listens to everything the left side says to it, like unconditionally, or not unconditionally, but like, I don't know the right word for it, but it basically listens to everything the left side says to it, absolutely. 391 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:29,000 And it never like throws anything out from the left side. So anything the left side says to it, the right side will basically like do or kind of, I don't really know how I should reread that where I learned this from, from the analysis and assessment of the gateway process. 392 00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:42,000 So it's literally the first paragraph on, which was called hypnosis, but the right side listens to it, the left side, and does it, and it like believes everything it says. 393 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:53,000 Yeah, I think that's the word I was looking for it believes everything the left side says to it. And the right side is like emotional, it knows things, it feels things. 394 00:45:53,000 --> 00:46:01,000 It knows everything kind of, or not necessarily everything, but it has access to everything. 395 00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:10,000 And the left side is actually the mind and the right side is the heart. So in Transurfing terms, the left side is the mind, the right side is the heart. 396 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:21,000 And why is this important? This is important because Transurfing is one of the main principles of Transurfing is unifying the heart and the mind. 397 00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:36,000 It's basically unifying your brain, like having one whole brain instead of a divided brain. Because on a day to day, most people, they have a split or a divide in their brain. 398 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:46,000 So basically, there's a wall built up in between the left side and the right side of the brain. And so they, they don't really, they don't work together. 399 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:54,000 Now imagine that you have two pieces to your brain, and they're not working together. 400 00:46:54,000 --> 00:47:03,000 Like just the left side is doing all all the stuff like the left side is not listening to the right side. And the left side is just going its own way. 401 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:09,000 Imagine that. I'm trying to think of an object that has two pieces to it. 402 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:21,000 Oh, so imagine a bicycle. The front wheel is your right, is your heart to your right side of the mind, and the back wheel is your mind, the left side. 403 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:37,000 Imagine if the back wheel just decided to do whatever it want. So the front wheel, since it's not attached to the gears, the front wheel just kind of goes along whatever the back wheel does. 404 00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:49,000 And you're basically controlling the back wheel. So when the back wheel decides to, the, okay, let's, the front wheel does whatever. 405 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:55,000 But let's say the back wheel just kind of decides to like steer off course. 406 00:47:55,000 --> 00:48:05,000 Like that, the front wheel is not going to be able to steer off course because the front wheel is attached to the steering wheel, like the actual handlebars of the bike. 407 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:18,000 So if your back wheel kind of like turns and then tries to steer off course, the front wheel is not going to do the same thing because it's attached to the handlebars. 408 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:26,000 So imagine how dysfunctional a bike would be if the back wheel kind of just decided to go its own path. 409 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:38,000 And the like, imagine how dysfunctional the bike would be if the back wheel and the front wheel didn't work together. Like they were kind of just doing their own things. 410 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:50,000 The bike only works because the front and the back wheel are unified and they're like acting together, like unified in sync. 411 00:48:50,000 --> 00:49:01,000 So imagine how bad the bike would be. Like it would just be broken. Like the bike would actually just not work if the back wheel did something different from the front wheel. 412 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:07,000 And that is basically what we're doing from a day to day. Like that is us. 413 00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:17,000 Our left brain is doing something absolutely different from our right brain. Like they're not unified. They're not in agreement on the day to day. 414 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:33,000 So if you can just imagine how bad a simple, a very simple object, like a bicycle, like from an objective point of view, a bicycle is far simpler than the human brain. 415 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:40,000 Like just you can agree with me on that. Like a bicycle has is complicated. 416 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:53,000 But it's simple because there's really all you need is like the wheels, the gears, or the one gear and then like the chain and the steering wheel, like the frame, the seat. 417 00:49:53,000 --> 00:50:03,000 Like you can, the fact that humans can make it, like you could probably learn to make a bicycle in weeks, months, maybe years. 418 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:08,000 And you can make one from scratch probably given the right materials. 419 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:13,000 But the human brain is far more complex. So there's a lot more going on with it. 420 00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:23,000 So imagine if if a bicycle was just simply broken, like the bicycle was not, it didn't work properly. 421 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,000 And it's a simple thing. 422 00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:42,000 Imagine how bad it would be if the human brain was in a similar predicament where it would be divided and it would not work optimally. 423 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:53,000 Now, it's not hard to imagine because that's what most people, including me, like a lot of the times from a day to day basis are doing that. 424 00:50:53,000 --> 00:51:00,000 Like, are my brain and mind, or my heart and mind are divided. 425 00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:17,000 Now I'm working towards on dividing them. Excuse me. Let me get some water. I have some hiccups. 426 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:26,000 Now I said I get water to start talking, like figure out something new to say, but that time I actually needed water to stop my hiccups. 427 00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:38,000 But what I was saying is we're living, like most people live with a divided, like a faulty, a broken mind, a broken brain. 428 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:43,000 Because one wheel is going opposite directions from the other wheel. 429 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:55,000 Now there's good news in this. The fact that most people have gone all their lives with a broken bicycle and they've managed this far. 430 00:51:55,000 --> 00:52:00,000 Well, honestly, it's probably not that far. They probably hasn't achieved much. 431 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:12,000 But if they've gone all their lives, imagine how amazing it would be once they actually fixed their bicycle and it started going in sync. 432 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:20,000 Like, let's say you rode, you drove, or you rode, you biked 100 miles with a broken bicycle. 433 00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:26,000 One, and it took like 30 years. 434 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:38,000 And I'm actually using the bicycle as a metaphor. I just wanted to clarify that for this for like the past couple minutes. 435 00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:46,000 I'm using the bicycle as a metaphor for the brain. So I just want to clarify that just in case. 436 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:53,000 But imagine you were spending 30 years and you biked 100 miles. 437 00:52:53,000 --> 00:53:04,000 100 miles, that's pretty far. But it took 30 years. But you did do it with a broken bicycle. 438 00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:10,000 So one wheel was going in a different direction to another wheel. 439 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,000 But you somehow managed to make it work, kind of. 440 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:31,000 So imagine how amazing it would be if you all of a sudden just fixed and aligned, unified those wheels, and just put them into agreement of one direction. 441 00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:36,000 Imagine how amazing it would be. You could ride 100 miles in one day. 442 00:53:36,000 --> 00:53:40,000 That's, many people do that, many people can do that. 443 00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:47,000 My dad ran an Ironman and he biked like 150 miles in one day. 444 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:54,000 That is one of the pieces to the Ironman race, 150 miles in one day. 445 00:53:54,000 --> 00:54:04,000 Like you, like a lot of it would take most people 30 years to bike 100 miles. But you could just do it in one day as long as your wheels are aligned. 446 00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:16,000 So how this can be applied into real life, your simply just get your heart and mind into agreement. 447 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:33,000 Now, that is easier said than done. But what I am doing right now, my actual practical steps, like applicable steps that I'm doing right now is whenever I'm making decisions or I'm about to make a decision, 448 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:43,000 I kind of imagine myself having made one decision or the decision I'm planning on taking and then kind of just listening to my inner feeling, like the inner tension. 449 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:49,000 And that's called the Russell the Morning Stars. 450 00:54:49,000 --> 00:55:04,000 Now, the Russell the Morning Stars is basically the heart telling you like its opinions or telling you about that specific decision or that thing that you just did. 451 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,000 Now, the heart always knows exactly what it does not want. 452 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:21,000 So if you have inner tension, you have an inner discomfort after having made that decision, go back on that decision because that is not your like that's not the right decision to make. 453 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:30,000 And also if your mind is trying to convince yourself or persuade yourself to go with this decision, drop it because that's not your decision. 454 00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:39,000 If it's truly your like if that decision is yours to make, like it's your right path forward, then you won't need to convince yourself. 455 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,000 You'll just know that it's the right path forward and you'll do it. 456 00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:47,000 But also the heart does not necessarily know exactly what it wants. 457 00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:56,000 So it could have like you could have no feeling, no inner inner tension, but also no inner joy. 458 00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:07,000 So that like blankness, that emptiness does not it just means that it's not necessarily bad because the heart always knows what it does not want. 459 00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:12,000 So the emptiness does not necessarily mean yes, but it does not mean no. 460 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,000 So take with that with you will. 461 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,000 And that's basically what I'm trying to do. 462 00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:29,000 But it's I'll tell you it's difficult, it's not difficult, but the whole point to this like the whole thing. 463 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:39,000 It only works if you remember and you remember in time because if you remember, but it's past time, like you can't go back on the decision. 464 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,000 Well, then there's no point. 465 00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:43,000 Like you failed kind of. 466 00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,000 Well, yeah, you failed. 467 00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:52,000 Like this, the whole task is to remember in time to listen to the rest of the morning stars. 468 00:56:52,000 --> 00:57:03,000 And once you can do that, you'll know that you're going to take the right path because if you just start listening to the heart, then you can move forward. 469 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:12,000 And oh, also, I just remembered if the heart doesn't say no, but it also doesn't say yes, then allow your mind to make the final decision. 470 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:16,000 And if your mind says no, then don't go with the decision. 471 00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:21,000 But if your mind says yes, then go with the decision. 472 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,000 I think that's how that works out. 473 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,000 But I kind of just had deja vu from that. 474 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:30,000 I just, that's one thing that I'm looking into. 475 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:36,000 I'm going to completely shift the topic for the last couple of minutes because I just finished with that topic. 476 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:48,000 I was looking into the gateway experience a little bit more last night and I stumbled upon this one like forum page and it was like the big toe or something like that. 477 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,000 It was weird. 478 00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:55,000 Like that title was weird to me because the big toe, that's weird. 479 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:59,000 And then I was looking into it and it's actually like about a book. 480 00:57:59,000 --> 00:58:17,000 And it's like all about like out of body experiences or like, I don't even know what the book was about, but there was one piece of that forum where there was this one comment or that commented about an out of body experience. 481 00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:22,000 And I learned a little bit more about out of body experiences. 482 00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:27,000 And I'm pretty sure astral projection is what an out of body experience is. 483 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:29,000 I don't know for sure though. 484 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:35,000 I'm like brand new to this and there's one thing for sure. 485 00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:46,000 I want to experience an out of body experience and to help do that, I am going to work on the gateway process. 486 00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:53,000 And I actually ordered the first CD I talked about it today, but it's delayed at customs, unfortunately. 487 00:58:53,000 --> 00:59:03,000 But that doesn't mean I can't stop, I can't practice because I have been working on my deep meditations as well, even without the CD. 488 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:08,000 Because people were able to get the out of body experience without the CDs. 489 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:13,000 So this practice is not in vain. 490 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:19,000 Like I'm still benefiting from this extra practice, even though I'm not getting the actual CD. 491 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:23,000 So that's pretty much where I'm at. 492 00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:27,000 And also I wanted to give you an update on the pine pollen tincture. 493 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:37,000 For context, I bought the pine pollen tincture and it gave me a headache and I predicted it's because there's alcohol in it. 494 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:44,000 I emailed the company and I have not gotten a response yet, but I haven't checked it today. 495 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:50,000 So I'll check that and that's the end of the episode. 496 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:59,000 So to wrap things up, don't forget to download your favorite episodes and subscribe to the Ascend
