85. The Next Phase - Spirituality

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000 What is the next step? 2 00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:12,360 Well, if you guys haven't noticed, lately the quality of my episodes have been lower. 3 00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:16,360 And to be honest, I was unsure why. 4 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:24,840 I don't really know exactly why they're lower all of a sudden now, 85 episodes in, especially 5 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:36,600 since they were on a steady incline, my entire time recording episodes for the past 80 days. 6 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,280 But what I discovered is that I am not taking enough rest days. 7 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,880 I'm not taking any rest days, actually. 8 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,040 And I first learned about this in a book called 10x is easier than 2x. 9 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:56,240 And in there, I learned about you should focus on quality over quantity. 10 00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:05,200 But then in the next book that I read called create, don't capture, he said, quality over 11 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,240 quantity, but quantity leads to quality. 12 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,960 But quality quantity is the best. 13 00:01:13,960 --> 00:01:19,440 So what that means is basically quality is better than quantity. 14 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,400 But, and I'm talking about content creation. 15 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:28,840 So my podcast, for example, it's better to have higher quality podcasts than to have 16 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,120 a lot of podcasts. 17 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:39,200 But having a lot of practice, like IE, high quantity, like what I'm doing one hour every 18 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:46,520 day, having a lot of practice leads to higher quality. 19 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:52,880 And the end result, high quality with a lot of quantity is the best. 20 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,920 So high quantity, high quality, in high quality. 21 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:04,600 And I learned about that in 10x and create, don't capture. 22 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:11,080 And I was reading those books, those two books over the past week, a little bit over a week. 23 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,720 And I finished them both. 24 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,320 But I realized that I need to improve my quality. 25 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:22,040 So for this past week, I realized that I'm not improving my quality much. 26 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,760 And I have to do, I have to make some drastic changes in order to actually do that. 27 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,800 Some things that I need to start doing are taking rest days. 28 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,960 As in one of the chapters on 10x, he said, there's three types of days you should have 29 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,280 in your schedule. 30 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,920 Focus days, buffer days, and rest days. 31 00:02:42,920 --> 00:02:45,240 Essentially, focus days are your work days. 32 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,160 So it's days that I'm recording, which for me is every single day. 33 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:54,560 Every single day is a focus day, because I record every single day. 34 00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,440 But you also need buffer days, which are days to prepare for your recording or your work 35 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,760 work. 36 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:08,480 And in the acting business, focus days would be the day of the show. 37 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,440 And then buffer days would be practice days, like days when you're rehearsing and practicing. 38 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,560 But then you also need a third type of day, which is rest day. 39 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,640 On rest days, you do absolutely nothing. 40 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:31,040 You just rest and you regain your, like you just rest up. 41 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,360 And it's extremely good because I also learned about that. 42 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,640 I knew that it was important from reading in 10x, but then I also read it again in create 43 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,360 don't capture, like rest days. 44 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:53,920 The guy, Eric Thane, who wrote create don't capture, actually, he knows how valuable rest 45 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:55,920 days are. 46 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,440 And like days where you're just doing nothing and just recharging and refueling. 47 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:07,560 He knows how valuable they are to the point where he, after a business conference, funnel 48 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:13,080 hacking live, the same business conference I went to, but he went the year before. 49 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,160 This is, he's, I'm talking about the year before. 50 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:23,600 So 2022 funnel hacking live, he went there and then he went straight to a cruise for four 51 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:24,600 days. 52 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,560 So, and what he was doing on the cruise the entire time was just thinking and he was in 53 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:35,080 silence the whole time, just thinking and deep in his books or deep in his journal. 54 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,920 I don't think he was even in books. 55 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:43,200 He was just thinking the whole time, just recharging and resting. 56 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,400 And he told me that story at funnel hacking live because he was speaking when I went in 57 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,280 2023. 58 00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:56,000 He told the story and I wrote down in my journal, I want to do that. 59 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:03,520 Like I want to take a cruise and just, like just being deep thought the whole time and 60 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:04,880 not even get off the boat. 61 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:11,200 Just literally stay on the boat the entire time and just being deep thought. 62 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,840 And then I learned, I learned more in 10X is easier than 2X. 63 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:19,840 Pretty much the way I read books is I don't get the most out of it. 64 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:24,280 I get one thing and I apply that one thing or two things. 65 00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:31,320 Pretty much the thing that I got out of 10X is I got so much out of it, but the two things 66 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:38,080 I'm actually like taking action on are I have to improve the quality or quantity and I have 67 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:43,280 to incorporate rest days, buffer days and focus days. 68 00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:53,840 And the way that I plan on doing that right now is I'm going to be having my entire week, 69 00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:59,360 Monday through Friday, rest slash buffer days where I'm just studying. 70 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:05,960 I literally just read my books all day, study all day, read all day. 71 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:15,040 And then I consolidate all of the notes that I take from reading into seven episodes worth 72 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,400 of notes. 73 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,200 And that will be seven hours worth of content. 74 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,440 And I record all of that on the weekend. 75 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,480 Four hours on Saturday and three hours on Sunday. 76 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,920 And that will be, those two will be my focus days. 77 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,160 And this will improve my quality as well. 78 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:36,200 So this will improve my quality and the fact that I need rest days. 79 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:44,080 And it'll improve my quality because I'll have a lot more time, bulk time to do the same 80 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,080 things. 81 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,200 And this is another thing I learned in the four hour work week and then it continued on 82 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:55,560 10X is easier than 2X, where you should have, you should batch your schedule. 83 00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:02,040 So pretty much if you have meetings, then you should have one day of the week dedicated 84 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,480 to meetings. 85 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:11,800 Or if you go on your phone or you go on your email, then you should have one day of the 86 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:17,120 week or one specific time at the end of the day to check your phone or check your emails. 87 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,280 And for a long time, that's what I did. 88 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:26,560 I only checked my phone after every single podcast every day for a few weeks I did that, 89 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,680 maybe even months. 90 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,440 And I would only check my email after every podcast, but lately I haven't even been checking 91 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:37,400 my phone or my email because it's just, I'm not having enough time to do that. 92 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:43,360 And to be honest, I haven't found any value in doing either at all. 93 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,680 So I just don't do that much. 94 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:57,000 The reasoning behind it is it is extremely bad for our focus to switch back and forth 95 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:04,680 between tasks, like working deep work on your work, like your priorities, like your main 96 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,360 business, your 20% tasks. 97 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,560 If you're in deep work on that and then you switch to go check your phone or you switch 98 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:17,160 to go into a meeting and then you switch back, it just doesn't work. 99 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:22,920 And so that's why you have to have entire days dedicated to just one thing. 100 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,760 And that's also what I'm going to be doing. 101 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:30,480 I'll dedicate my entire week to just creating episode notes. 102 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:38,120 I'm just going to dedicate five days of my week to creating episode notes so I can have 103 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,960 somewhat of a structure during my episodes, my shows. 104 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:47,440 Because there's one thing that I don't like about my episodes. 105 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,520 I was telling my friend about this today. 106 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:56,800 I don't plan the episodes out and as a result, I bounce back and forth between ideas. 107 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,800 And I'm sure you guys have definitely noticed this. 108 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:05,600 I start going on one idea and then I bounce to a different idea and then I go back to 109 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:06,720 the original idea. 110 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,240 And then it's just crazy. 111 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:15,680 It's hard to follow and to be honest, I don't think that it's good content. 112 00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,160 It's not high quality. 113 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,040 So what I realized is I have to improve that by adding somewhat of a structure. 114 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:27,640 I'm not going to script out the episode, but I'm going to have a structure. 115 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:32,800 For example, in my Transurfing Principles episodes, like yesterday's episode was the 116 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,000 last Transurfing Principles episode for now. 117 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:45,640 And those are structured because I write five pages worth of notes just to talk about all 118 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,680 those five pages. 119 00:09:49,680 --> 00:09:53,480 And that's when I'm probably not going to write five pages worth of notes on all of 120 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,480 my things. 121 00:09:55,480 --> 00:10:05,960 Over the past two days, I've been doing a just basic structuring, just extremely basic. 122 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:11,240 Like today's notes, which I'm going to get into later on in this episode is I want to 123 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:17,800 talk about spirituality and how that's the next step for me. 124 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:21,480 But before I want to tell you guys more about this. 125 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:28,320 So we've discussed 10x and how you should structure a week. 126 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,000 And that's what I'm going to do. 127 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,440 These are the next steps in my progress. 128 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:39,640 During my week to just study all week and then on the weekends I record. 129 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:46,680 And this will give me a lot of rest and time to recover from the creative side because 130 00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:51,520 you can't just crank out episodes like daily. 131 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,120 That's what I've come to realize. 132 00:10:55,120 --> 00:11:00,360 And the way I plan on doing this, I plan on dedicating my entire weekend. 133 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,120 Like I'm not going to go to the gym at all on the weekends anymore. 134 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:10,000 Once I implement this schedule, I'm only going to be, the only thing I'm going to be doing 135 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,200 over the weekend is record and meditate. 136 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:19,640 I'm literally just going to wake up, do my morning routine and then literally just get, 137 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:26,960 I'm probably going to read for like a little bit in the morning because I don't want to 138 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:33,360 record like right away at the brink of dawn because my family is still asleep. 139 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:40,600 But pretty much I wake up and then read, do my normal routine. 140 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,400 Like my morning routine has reading in it. 141 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:48,480 So I wake up, do my morning routine and then eventually once like my family's all settled 142 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:54,680 like awoken, then I will meditate. 143 00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:55,680 First thing. 144 00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:05,120 I'm going to go back and forth, meditate, record, meditate, record. 145 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,240 And I'll do this for four episodes on Saturday and three episodes on Sunday. 146 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,680 That's going to be my entire weekend. 147 00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:13,680 Meditate and record. 148 00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:19,240 I'll probably get like, I'll wake up, do my meditation in the morning and then I'll 149 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,880 meditate before the first and I'll meditate for the second, third, fourth. 150 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:32,400 And then I'll probably get six meditations in on Saturday, which will be the most that 151 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:33,400 I've ever done. 152 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,080 I don't know how I'll feel after that. 153 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:42,320 I don't know what, I don't know what to expect, but that's what I'm going to do. 154 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,600 And again, this may change and it probably will change. 155 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,440 Like my plans will probably change because I'm probably not going to be able to implement 156 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:50,440 this fully. 157 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:56,280 Like I'm not, I'm probably not going to be able to fully dive into this until I'm graduated, 158 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,800 which is in two months. 159 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:08,080 Today is, uh, when I record this episode, it's Tuesday, October 10th. 160 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:16,000 So I believe that this episode will go live or will post on Tuesday, October 17th. 161 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,520 So around about a month because I graduate probably on like December 20th. 162 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:30,880 So around two months I'll graduate and then I'll have my entire schedule freed up just 163 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:31,880 for this. 164 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:40,240 Like I'm literally just going to dedicate myself entirely to two things or three things actually. 165 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:48,760 Building myself through expanding my knowledge base, like studying a lot and meditating. 166 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,800 That will be, and like building my spirituality through meditating as well as reading books 167 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:54,840 about spirituality. 168 00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:01,400 And then the third thing is documenting my journey and which is building my channel, 169 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:07,280 building my, just building my channel because that's all I'm focusing on. 170 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:14,480 Like I decided to get into entrepreneurship over summer, probably four months ago is when 171 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,560 I decided to get into business. 172 00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:23,160 But I did not expect to, I thought that I was just going to be focused on business and 173 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:27,520 like figuring out business strategies and tactics. 174 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,480 But what I'm extremely grateful for is that I discovered that you, the billionaires of 175 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,920 tomorrow are building their brands today. 176 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,360 And what that means is tomorrow's billionaires, like the billionaires of the next decade are 177 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:46,880 all building their channel, building their content, building their influence right now. 178 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:53,720 They're starting to build their channels and their social media and presence. 179 00:14:53,720 --> 00:15:02,320 And that's especially good because this will lead into a business opportunity, but the whole, 180 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:08,360 like the most important part of it is it is expanding my own development. 181 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,160 It is developing myself. 182 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:19,040 I'm developing myself through one finding my voice, my purpose and my, my like, like 183 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,840 my goal. 184 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:28,840 That's finding my voice and my purpose in through podcasting and recording TikToks. 185 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:30,160 That's that. 186 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,360 I'm documenting my journey. 187 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,080 I'm teaching what I'm sharing at real time. 188 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,400 So I'm strengthening my own knowledge as well through podcasting. 189 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:44,040 And two, the way I get like now that's all I focus on. 190 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,800 Like that's the old, that's my entire job right now. 191 00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,000 That's the only thing I focus on. 192 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:57,120 And then the rest of my time is dedicated 100% to studying and evolving my spirituality 193 00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:02,480 because over the past couple of months, I don't know, you've probably, you guys have 194 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:08,960 definitely been able to tell that I'm kind of on the verge to discovering something. 195 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:13,880 And over the past couple of months, I've been like talking a lot about worldview and how 196 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:20,480 you're thinking is like the most like everything that goes on in your head is like the biggest 197 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,160 factor in determining your success or not. 198 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,440 And that's why I've been getting into all of this stuff like mindset and worldview books 199 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:34,680 like reality, trans surfing and 10 X is easier than 2X. 200 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:41,760 But what it's led me down is a whole journey of realizing that my spirituality is the next 201 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:42,840 phase of my life. 202 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,320 So when I said, what is the next step in the beginning of this episode? 203 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,800 The next step is me focusing 100% on my spiritual journey. 204 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:58,720 And let me explain because probably like a month ago or two, like, yeah, probably a month 205 00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,520 ago I was researching reality, trans surfing because I wanted to learn more about it. 206 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,880 And I was in I was in the middle of my second time reading it. 207 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:11,120 And then I found this one website called the most beautiful world, which led me down this 208 00:17:11,120 --> 00:17:12,120 whole reading list. 209 00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:15,440 It was called the ultimate reading list for human beings. 210 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,040 And what I read on this reading list was it was basically a blog post. 211 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,120 It was like an introduction, like a blog post. 212 00:17:23,120 --> 00:17:26,040 And then it was the reading list. 213 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,880 And in that blog post, he basically hinted at that there's more to life and that you 214 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:36,640 can discover the truth through reading and that you that there is way more than we expected 215 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,320 that there's way more than we've been led to believe. 216 00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,440 Pretty much everything that I kind of had suspicions about from reading, trans surfing, 217 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:49,440 because once I read trans surfing, it opened the door of possibilities in my in my knowledge base 218 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,880 to where I thinking, oh, wow, there's way more because I cannot now I can actually achieve 219 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,880 things. 220 00:17:54,880 --> 00:18:01,240 I have a goal right now to move to Hawaii and become a surfer and have a yacht and own 221 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,520 a beach, a private beach. 222 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:10,720 That's my goal that I never would have had a goal so ambitious one year ago. 223 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:16,160 My most ambitious goal one year ago was probably I don't even know. 224 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:22,200 I think it was probably like gaining five pounds on tricep push down or something like 225 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:30,320 that, something I could achieve in literally like two weeks. 226 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:34,160 So this reading list, I read through the entire thing. 227 00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,920 It probably took like, I don't know how long, probably 20 minutes. 228 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:43,760 I read through the entire page and I realized that like more than three more than three 229 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:49,560 fourths of the books on that reading list, all the like the first 100 books on that reading 230 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,160 list I had never even heard of before. 231 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,400 And he was talking so highly of them. 232 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,360 Like the first one, die wise, he said, this is the best book that I've ever read in my 233 00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:00,360 life. 234 00:19:00,360 --> 00:19:02,320 This is my most gifted book. 235 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:07,520 And it's the book that you need to read right now today. 236 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:16,000 And then another one, it was like number 113 called journey, journeys out of the body. 237 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:24,960 And he said, this is another book that the power that be does not want you to read. 238 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,760 I have no idea what that means. 239 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,240 But it interests me. 240 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:37,000 And then he wrote a book, like he read this entire reading list went on an amazing trip 241 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:45,040 road trip for three years around North the Americas, all the way across the entire, like 242 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,360 both North and South American continent. 243 00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:56,040 He went on a road trip and he wrote a book discussing everything that he learned from 244 00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:02,280 all the books as well as the road trip. 245 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,920 And I bought that book, it's called dancing of the music stops. 246 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:13,800 And in the introduction, he placed a declassified CIA document about time travel in the intro 247 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,880 to his book that intrigued me. 248 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:22,360 So I looked into that and I actually printed out the entire document that it was taken 249 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:26,760 from, which is called the analysis and assessment of the gateway process. 250 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:31,520 So I printed that the entire thing out and I read it all in one weekend. 251 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,600 And this was after I'd read Transurfing. 252 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:42,240 So my worldview was already greatly expanded more so like my worldview was already more 253 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,880 closer to the truth to the average person already. 254 00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,160 But this gateway, the analysis and assessment of the gateway process literally just like 255 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:57,600 30 pages absolutely like sparked something in me because I realized that there's so much 256 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:05,480 more because literally every single thing that was written in that book was absolutely 257 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:13,880 out of this world for me, not the book, the gateway assessment, the document. 258 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:23,280 So I did a deep dive on the gateway experience and the Monroe Institute and I went through 259 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:30,760 and found like probably like 10 documents and I printed them all all straight from my 260 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,920 school printer at the school. 261 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:39,280 But I printed them all and I've only read about half of them and there's one that is 262 00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:45,720 like a hundred plus pages long called the Seven Resonant Colors, which is I really want 263 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:52,960 to read soon, but I simply just haven't prioritized it yet. 264 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,720 And so I got into all this stuff and I started looking at the gateway experience, which is 265 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:08,760 basically a meditative guided meditation that uses certain sound waves at certain frequencies 266 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:14,280 that can induce changes in the chemistry of your brain and can actually help you get into 267 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:21,200 deeper levels of meditation that otherwise would not be accessible in such a short period 268 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,000 of time. 269 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:30,720 So I naturally I bought the first wave, which is wave one called discovery and it focuses 270 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:37,360 on focus 10, which is essentially mind awake body sleep, which I initially interpreted 271 00:22:37,360 --> 00:22:42,440 that as sleep paralysis, because that's what I heard online sleep paralysis while your 272 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,200 mind is awake. 273 00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:53,360 So that I spent an entire month just using just practicing the focus 10. 274 00:22:53,360 --> 00:23:02,960 And then I realized after reading another post online that this one woman basically wrote 275 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:10,020 about her experience, she described her experience about focus 10 and her description was exactly 276 00:23:10,020 --> 00:23:11,020 the same. 277 00:23:11,020 --> 00:23:15,800 It's identical to my experience, and I thought that my experience was not deep enough. 278 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,600 I thought that I needed to get it deeper before I moved on to focus 12. 279 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,920 When in reality I was ready to move on to focus 12. 280 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:30,200 So one month into focus 10 practice practice focus 10 for one month. 281 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:38,440 And yesterday, I think it was yesterday, I moved on to wave two. 282 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:39,600 And so that's focus 12. 283 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,240 It's all about focus 12. 284 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,120 I am unsure if I've achieved focus 12 yet. 285 00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:46,840 I believe I have. 286 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,480 And there's many different things going on. 287 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,720 First of all, I'm looking into a lot of other people's experiences. 288 00:23:53,720 --> 00:24:02,000 And so that's manipulating my expectations about what I should basically expect. 289 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,480 But everyone's spiritual journey is different and everyone's is unique to themselves. 290 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:12,520 And so I read this in the same lady that described her focus 10 experience. 291 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:20,160 She kept on saying that do not have expectations and also she kept saying that your experience 292 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,440 is going to be different. 293 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:25,400 So don't compare, don't have expectations that yours is going to be any different to 294 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,400 mine. 295 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,520 And also your experience is going to be the best experience ever because it's just that. 296 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,800 It's your experience. 297 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,040 And my experience is going to be better than her experience simply because it's my experience 298 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,360 and it's my own journey. 299 00:24:39,360 --> 00:24:44,680 It's my soul's journey through spirituality. 300 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:52,760 So ever since I read that post literally like four hours ago, probably during class, I read 301 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,600 that today. 302 00:24:54,600 --> 00:25:02,160 And I decided that I was going to stop comparing myself or stop comparing or I decided I was 303 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:08,760 going to stop looking at other people's experiences using the gateway experience. 304 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:15,120 And so as a result, now I'm just focusing on my own experience and I'm going to decide 305 00:25:15,120 --> 00:25:19,640 that my own experience is exactly as it should be. 306 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:23,560 But I want to tell you about the next books that I'm reading. 307 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:28,960 One of the seven books that I'm reading right now is called Journey Out of the Bodies or 308 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:30,240 Journeys Out of the Body. 309 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:37,640 It's by Robert Munro who is basically the person who popularized out of body experience 310 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:45,920 as well as he founded the Munro Institute which created the gateway experience. 311 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:53,600 And so I started reading literally just the author's note just like the first couple pages 312 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,800 of the book. 313 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:02,880 And in it he said, there was one thing that struck me and he said that he was getting 314 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:08,200 into his out of body experiences and then instead of consciously controlling the situation 315 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:16,640 and consciously controlling the journey which he'd done before and he got results, but he 316 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:24,600 actually let go of the control and gave control to his higher self which he said his soul 317 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,440 as a question mark in parentheses. 318 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:34,400 So he gave control to his higher self which is his soul over his out of body experiences 319 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:41,480 and as a result he had so much better experiences that he's ever had before. 320 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:47,560 And over the next couple weeks I'm going to be reading that book and learning and sharing 321 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,640 all the things that I learn about. 322 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:55,840 And that one thing that he said I decided to implement it and I have no idea how to 323 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,640 go about releasing my control and giving control to my higher self. 324 00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,000 I have no idea how to go about that. 325 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,400 But today during my meditation right before this episode instead of doing because I'm 326 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:20,320 on the tape two of wave two which has two exercises which is the first one is patterning 327 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,760 one month patterning which is all about manifestation and I did that a few times because that's 328 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,600 what I'm into but I decided that I didn't really like the structure of it. 329 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:37,360 I would rather have a free free flow experience where I can structure the visualization myself 330 00:27:37,360 --> 00:27:42,160 so then I moved on to the next exercise which is called color breathing. 331 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:49,320 And so I expected to get more focus 12 experience but instead it was all about you were just 332 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,040 in focus 10 the entire time. 333 00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,440 So it was kind of disappointing but I decided to stick through it. 334 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:59,920 It was a 35 minute meditation and so I didn't get focus 12 and I didn't really have the 335 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:05,800 ability to release the control to my higher self but I did try and do it with my focus 336 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:10,200 10 experience but it didn't. 337 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:15,200 It was just focus 10 so I didn't really have that big of an experience plus. 338 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:23,320 I realized that the importance of maintaining a consistent consistent on the dot sleep schedule 339 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:30,360 over the past like ever since I got home from Florida I've been going to bed at 6 10 exactly 340 00:28:30,360 --> 00:28:36,280 I would always look at the clock right before I go to bed and it's 6 10 every single time 341 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:45,120 and as a result I woke up at the same time and then last night I had a double episode 342 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:51,440 and I kind of had to stay on the recording a little bit longer and so as a result I went 343 00:28:51,440 --> 00:29:03,520 to bed at 6 28 and said so it was 18 minutes past what I should have gone to bed at and 344 00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:12,440 I like it destroyed not destroyed but I definitely could tell the difference in my focus during 345 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,040 my meditation just now because I was kind of like falling as I was trying I was starting 346 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:24,240 to fall asleep in my meditation so that's why I'm also locking in on my maintaining 347 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:31,440 my schedule exactly like at 4 45 I always go up I always because I'm in the basement 348 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:39,840 recording and it's 356 right now at 4 45 I always go upstairs because then I start my 349 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,440 time and I time routine and I have this whole system to make sure I go to bed at the same 350 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:56,880 time but I want to talk about the whole why did I get on this tangent I was talking about 351 00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:08,440 the oh yeah focus 12 so giving my higher consciousness or allowing my higher self to control the situation 352 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:16,280 and releasing control to my higher self and this leads me on to the whole point of this 353 00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:26,000 entire episode so far I wrote down in my episode notes the foundation is spirituality and let 354 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:32,640 me talk about that I believe that my worldview is the foundation to my success and as a result 355 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:41,560 I spent two months reading reality Transurfing two times so I probably read it for four months 356 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:49,240 and then I realized that there's more to it I went on that whole deep dive on the gateway 357 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:55,320 experience and this reading list for discovering the truth and actually the third book on that 358 00:30:55,320 --> 00:31:00,680 reading list I believe it's the third it's called a scent of humanity and his description 359 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:07,360 of it said he said this book lays out the foundation to how the world works and this 360 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:14,840 should be the first book you read to start to discover like the truth so I don't know 361 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:21,760 what the truth is like I told my friend George this morning I we're walking because I saw 362 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:26,080 him in the morning right when I got to school so we were walking to the cafeteria together 363 00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:31,600 because that's usually where we go before school and he said he's one year younger than me 364 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:38,400 and he is just getting into actually he's just getting into reality Transurfing so he 365 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:48,480 is just beginning his journey on discovering the truth and he said that he instantly gains 366 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:53,800 like every time he's near me he gains a brand new perspective on his surroundings because 367 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:59,440 we were just walking through a huge crowd of people before school started so we were 368 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:06,920 walking through a huge crowd of high schoolers and we're just walking there and I was just 369 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:16,440 present I was focused like I am not as much as I hope to be but at that time I was present 370 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:22,600 and I was focused and he said I instantly gain a new perspective when I'm near you and 371 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:32,400 I said I don't remember how I responded but the conversation led to me saying I'm beginning 372 00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:40,880 to discover the truth and don't ask me what the truth is because I have no idea I have 373 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:48,640 no idea and I need to know the truth because when I'm reading just the introduction to 374 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:52,920 Gene Pascal Riemann's book Dancing After The Music Stops the guy who compiled this reading 375 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:57,680 list when I'm reading the introduction to his book today I read it for the second time 376 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:04,360 just the intro I've just read the intro so far I have never read the whole book yet but 377 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:11,960 I read the intro two times and in the intro it was just it sparked another fire in me 378 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:19,320 because he is definitely he knows all the things that I desire to know right now so 379 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:24,040 I'm believing that worldview is the next is like the foundation but I go one step further 380 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:30,160 I say spirituality is the foundation to my success and worldview is just a piece in my 381 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:38,720 spirituality so this whole time I've just been focusing on one piece I have been focusing 382 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:45,240 on meditation but not really the deep meditation that is accessible to everyone but no one 383 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:54,200 knows about and it's focus 12 focus 15 focus 21 all of the deep focus levels as well as 384 00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:59,360 out of body experiences astral projection I don't know anything I don't know much about 385 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:05,880 any of this stuff but I desire to experience it all and that is my journey on spirituality 386 00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:11,320 that is why this next step this next phase in my life is going to be dedicated entirely 387 00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:21,640 to growing my spirituality and entirely dedicated to mastering this stuff and documenting my 388 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:27,720 entire journey that is why I'm beginning to shift make some big changes I realized in 389 00:34:27,720 --> 00:34:34,720 my past I'm okay so recently I read the book 10x is easier than 2x and it talked about 390 00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:45,280 10x jumps and basically making jumps of 10x like instead of incrementally improving yourself 391 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:50,040 you radically improve and I've done that a few times in the past for example when I started 392 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:56,480 reading another example when I started lifting I radically improved my life and I radically 393 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:03,080 just like took out a lot of different things for example I got rid of video games I got 394 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:08,960 rid of junk food I got rid of tiktok YouTube social media Snapchat all of this stuff I 395 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:15,240 got rid of because I made radical changes in my life and as a result I was able to radically 396 00:35:15,240 --> 00:35:23,120 improve my life and radically shift the course of events and my destiny and I'm on the verge 397 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:29,400 of another 10x jump I'm not really sure my last 10x jump but I'm on the verge of another 398 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:34,880 one because I am beginning to look into all of this stuff I'm beginning to radically shift 399 00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:41,240 my entire work week schedule having five rest days and entire life and I realized in entire 400 00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:48,280 week I realized that when I make big changes like I made a big change to not go to college 401 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:53,560 to declare that I wasn't going to college that improved so much that improve my situation 402 00:35:53,560 --> 00:36:04,480 so much and then I made another big change I declared that I was going to graduate early 403 00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:09,920 that was another big change that saved five months of my life and then I made another 404 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:13,960 big change I declared that I was not only going to graduate early I was also going to 405 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:20,280 become a part time student and have four periods four classes in my entire day for my entire 406 00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:28,400 last semester of senior year my last semester of high school so I saved all that time and 407 00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:33,120 that's because I made big changes I remember my dad talking to me because this was in the 408 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:38,360 period of time a couple months ago when I was actually starting to make these changes 409 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:44,280 and go to email all these people to drop out of certain things and talk to my counselor 410 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:48,720 and talk to my parents to get permission to do all this stuff I remember my dad said like 411 00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:54,880 you're making big changes like you are starting I don't remember exactly what he said I regret 412 00:36:54,880 --> 00:37:03,640 I'm gonna probably ask him but he basically said something like he said like you're making 413 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:10,320 big changes and he was like applauding me for it because I'm making big changes and 414 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:15,840 I'm starting to take control of my fate and my destiny and my life through making big 415 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:21,880 changes and he said that I'm making like there's one word that he used but he was basically 416 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:28,640 saying that you're being extremely bold and decisive in your actions and I applaud you 417 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:36,040 for it because no one else is doing stuff like this and so every time I make radical 418 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:45,800 adjustments to my life I am I massively improve and so now I'm going all in on this new phase 419 00:37:45,800 --> 00:37:52,600 which is spirituality I really believe that meditation this is why I'm been meditating 420 00:37:52,600 --> 00:38:02,680 three times a day for the past couple months no past month and I've been meditating at least 421 00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,120 two times a day for the past couple months I've been meditating consistently for the 422 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:14,000 past couple months and recently I've upped it to three times a day for like 30 to 45 423 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:20,680 minutes per session so I'm meditating for 90 to 2 hours every day 90 minutes to 2 hours 424 00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:27,680 every single day and this has purpose this is my spiritual journey and I'm also gonna 425 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:33,080 be learning about it in my books this is the next phase this is my radical shift this I'm 426 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:39,520 starting it right now like I started it before this I started reading those books that I 427 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:47,200 listed which are die wise come of age ascent on humanity toofty the priestess journey out 428 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:57,720 of the bodies dancing after the music stops and what's the last one the Egypt code all 429 00:38:57,720 --> 00:39:04,240 of these books are the next phase of my life and that's why I start I'm starting it today 430 00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:11,480 I already started it these next books at least I've been meditating but I probably won't 431 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:16,480 be able to make the radical changes that I want to until I free up my entire schedule 432 00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:24,960 in two months so after I graduate I'll be able to make even more radical changes but 433 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:32,680 I am not gonna stop I'm making big radical changes now like all I'm gonna I'm gonna try 434 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:39,560 my hardest to make the radical changes now but if I have to hold off until I will but 435 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:48,720 I'm gonna do it all now and see where it takes me radical changes are changing my schedule 436 00:39:48,720 --> 00:39:56,520 to have focus and rest days and buffer days going all in on spirituality and now I realize 437 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:03,120 that I have to just work there's one quote that I heard that I read about in Eric Thane's 438 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:12,400 book don't create don't capture and he said work on the messenger not the message like 439 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:18,280 improve the messenger not the message and it basically means that don't work on your 440 00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:22,160 message that you're sending to your audience don't work on what I'm saying right now work 441 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:28,520 on yourself like work on yourself and grow yourself work on self development self improvement 442 00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:33,280 so now that gave me that basically gave me permission to go all in now all I'm doing 443 00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:41,520 now podcasting was my whole thing like podcasting was my main priority in my in my day now it's 444 00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:48,000 gonna be my main priority on the weekend but now my main priority is studying all these 445 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:56,000 books and meditating that is all I'm gonna be doing for the time being until further 446 00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:05,320 notice meditating and studying books and podcasting those are my meditation studying books podcasting 447 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:12,600 are my three tasks for every like my three priorities those are the only things that 448 00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:18,000 I'm focusing on the meditation and studying will be self development so I'll be growing 449 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:22,720 as a person and I'll be growing myself and then the podcast is for documenting all of 450 00:41:22,720 --> 00:41:29,600 that as well as finding my voice so then I can document my growth and you guys like this 451 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:38,600 the growth has been evident over the past 85 episodes 85 days my growth has been evident 452 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:43,600 because in the beginning literally the trailer this is one thing that I might want to change 453 00:41:43,600 --> 00:41:50,040 because my trailer this season's trailer on my podcast is terrible because that was the 454 00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:57,480 first episode I ever posted the trailer so I might make a new trailer so people actually 455 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:04,200 hear better have a better initial like response because usually the trailer is the first thing 456 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:11,520 people listen to and they judge the quality of the show based off that so I'm that's one 457 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:20,920 thing I might do but I'm not gonna do it for the time being like this is like this these 458 00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:28,800 radical changes are what has to be done in order to make massive progress I'm gonna be 459 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:34,160 honest that's all the notes that wrote down but that's another thing soon I'm gonna be 460 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:42,680 actually starting to kind of structure out the episodes so the first 40 minutes of this 461 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:49,720 episode was structured out not entirely most of it was just free free ballin I don't know 462 00:42:49,720 --> 00:42:56,320 if that's the right word but all like all I wrote down was spirituality and books and 463 00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:18,000 meditation for my structure but let me get some water I want to talk about this one concept 464 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:26,040 that became clear to me today I started reading the books and one of the books I read was 465 00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:32,040 Tufti so as I've talked about in the past episodes I'm reading I'm reading all seven 466 00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,920 at the same time I just get the full pile stacked in front of me I pick up one read 467 00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,320 tell loose focus then put it down and read the next one until I lose focus and then just 468 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:46,480 cycle and before this episode I got through three I only had like 30 minutes to read but 469 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:51,480 I got through three and I read like first couple pages of three which were journey out 470 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:57,240 of the bodies dancing after music stops and to feed the priestess and in to feed the priestess 471 00:43:57,240 --> 00:44:02,520 it's another book by Vadom zone it's a more recent book by Vadom zone compared to reality 472 00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:11,080 Transurfing and it's about Transurfing and in like the first couple pages he talked about 473 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:18,960 being asleep and being awake and he described it very well in that essentially we are asleep 474 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:27,360 in our dreams we're asleep and in reality we're asleep and when we're basically when 475 00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:33,680 we're born and we're socialized our parents basically say look over here look at that 476 00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:41,200 focus on me or focus on that and that basically gets our focus onto something outer so he 477 00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:50,040 explained that there's two types of focus outer and inner when you're lost in thought 478 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:59,520 and you're just deep in thinking you're in you're asleep and you're basically on your 479 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:03,200 external actions are basically on autopilot but you're asleep that means that you're 480 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:12,080 asleep because you're deep in inner your attention is focused inwards that's enough 481 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:16,400 that's a that's being asleep but then the other side of it is when your attention is 482 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:22,720 focused fully on outer and you're immersed in the outer experience like a certain event 483 00:45:22,720 --> 00:45:29,680 going on or you're immersed in this podcast that means that you're asleep as well but 484 00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:34,920 then he described that most of the time we're either in one or the other and very rarely 485 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:40,960 were in between both and then he said that in order to wake up you have to be kind of 486 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:50,120 jaw what's the word straddling the line of them both so you have to be inner and outer 487 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:54,880 you have to be focused your attention on inner and outer so you have to hold your attention 488 00:45:54,880 --> 00:46:00,440 on your inner thoughts like controlling your thoughts as well as being present in the outer 489 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:09,840 moment and that's basically what being awake is and when we were first born we controlled 490 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:15,960 our thoughts and then over time as like people said focus on this focus on that we started 491 00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:20,440 to focus on outer and then we started focused on inner as well and then we lost control 492 00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:27,720 it we started to not control our thoughts anymore which basically brings me hope because 493 00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:32,720 the fact that we lost like that the ability to control our thoughts or not even the ability 494 00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:41,160 but the intent to control our thoughts at your feed that basically shows me that we 495 00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:46,960 can actually reverse the process and strengthen it back again and regain the ability to control 496 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,520 our thoughts which I have proved over the past couple months in the beginning of summer 497 00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:57,000 when I first started reading transfer for the second time I decided that it's actually 498 00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:04,520 vital to stay awake and work on being awake and present throughout the day and so over 499 00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:11,480 the past let's just say four months I have been working on staying present and over these 500 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:16,600 four four months it's been like a long journey but every single day it got better and better 501 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:21,080 and better and then eventually just kind of became a habit and right now I'm kind of 502 00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:28,880 in a situation where I'm not really sure if I have it as a habit to re kind of bring back 503 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:34,480 my thoughts to conscious awareness I'm not sure if it's a habit or if I lost everything 504 00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:42,200 because I don't really call myself to wake up anymore like I used to consciously say 505 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:47,920 wake up wake up wake up I used to obsess over it but now I haven't really done that much 506 00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:53,280 I kind of just like wake up naturally but I'm not sure how much thought the day but 507 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:58,320 I do think that I am doing a little a lot more like I'm conscious a lot more throughout 508 00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:04,560 the day simply because my mind is a lot more clear and I have this feeling that I'm getting 509 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:11,840 closer and closer to my goals and I'm locking in even though I haven't seen a single change 510 00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:18,720 in my environment not a single change in my environment that I've noticed but I have a 511 00:48:18,720 --> 00:48:24,360 sense that I'm getting closer not really I think I just made that up but I'd like to 512 00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:35,400 tell myself that but these next books I'm really I know that these are going to be game 513 00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:45,400 changing for me because these are like the top books that he recommends and he has spirituality 514 00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:49,800 all my life I grew up in the church like I grew up a Christian in the church and I was 515 00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:55,840 always told like spirituality I don't even know what spirituality is I always said that 516 00:48:55,840 --> 00:49:01,080 I believed in God but I didn't know I was just lying just to fit in I didn't know what 517 00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:09,160 that meant and I was just I was just lying I got confirmed into the church I had to basically 518 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:17,040 say to the whole congregation that I believe in God and I did basically write a whole 519 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:26,200 story of my like the one moment where I realized that God was real that was all lies it wasn't 520 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:31,200 until I actually started to take my journey into my own hands and looked in Transurfing 521 00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:36,080 which by the way I had no idea that Transurfing was going to talk about God it wasn't until 522 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:41,200 I realized I read Transurfing when I like decided not to be a Christian I'm no longer 523 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:47,520 Christian I don't go to church and thankfully my parents don't make me go to church anymore 524 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:53,560 or at least as the time being and it wasn't until I started looking into the stuff and 525 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:58,160 then I started meditating and I looked into this deep stuff like the gateway experience 526 00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:05,560 when I'm starting to uncover the truth and I believe in God now not just faking it anymore 527 00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:12,160 but I don't know yet and that's why I'm getting into the gateway experience that's why I'm 528 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:20,640 really going deep into spirituality because today I read the most crazy thing the most 529 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:27,840 crazy was actually crazy the thing that I read and this was the thing that I was talking 530 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:34,640 about earlier the person documenting her focus 10 experience which was identical to my own 531 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:39,520 but then she also went on to talk about her focus 12 experience and then further down 532 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:45,400 the post focus 15 and so I actually discovered this post last night on my computer and then 533 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:50,640 I copied and pasted it and put it in a Google Docs on my school account so I can actually 534 00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:56,720 access it on my school computer today which was the next day yesterday because the school 535 00:50:56,720 --> 00:51:00,960 blocks a lot of websites so I wanted to be able to read the post at school so I read 536 00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:07,360 it at school and the way she was talking now granted she had a lot of experience like she 537 00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:16,000 said that she had an experience either being or being with a Tibetan monk meditating so 538 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:19,880 she had a lot of experience on spirituality and that's what I noticed there was another 539 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:24,600 woman that I read about who had been meditating for 15 years and then started the gateway 540 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:29,080 experience and then within a couple months she was able to achieve like the final focus 541 00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:36,800 level that they offer in the gateway experience like focus 27 and so they had a lot of experience 542 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:42,080 but that's not stopping me because I have one month of experience with the gateway experience 543 00:51:42,080 --> 00:51:47,880 with wave one so I feel like within the next couple months I'll be able to achieve focus 544 00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:55,800 12 focus 15 hopefully and the whole thing that I'm saying is that this woman the first 545 00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:00,840 woman I'm talking about which is the one I read today she described her focus 10 identical 546 00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:11,040 to mine and her focused 11 so her experience was absolutely insane she got to like in the 547 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:17,840 focus 12 tape in the intro to focus 12 he has you go to focus 10 and then he counts 548 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:25,520 up from he counts from 10 to 11 so he's like 10 11 12 but it's extremely long period in 549 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:31,000 between each number so it's like more like 10 and then he waits like a minute and then 550 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:37,480 it's 11 and then waits another minute and then 12 and so she realized that there's actually 551 00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:46,520 amazing things to explore in between focus 10 and 12 which is focus 12 or focus 11 and 552 00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:53,080 she like discovered the multiverse she was able to she basically described her experience 553 00:52:53,080 --> 00:53:04,320 like she saw the multiverse which looks like a soap like suds of soap or like a cobweb 554 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:09,400 and then she also she went on to explain a lot of different things that like absolutely 555 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:15,680 blew my mind and then towards the end of her whole post after she was talking about like 556 00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:22,480 focus 15 and all that stuff she was saying like I I the reason I share this is not so 557 00:53:22,480 --> 00:53:26,760 you can have an expectation of what to expect on your own because your experience will not 558 00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:31,360 be the same your experience will be unique to you and then she was basically going on 559 00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:37,640 to say that everyone's spiritual journey is their own and it's just for them to experiment 560 00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:43,560 and for them to observe no one else sees it and no one else experiences your journey and 561 00:53:43,560 --> 00:53:49,800 then she went on to say that she said this post to give inspiration and kind of like 562 00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:54,640 reignite the flame for some people to actually go with the gateway experience because she 563 00:53:54,640 --> 00:54:00,640 thinks that she claimed that the gateway experience was like I don't remember exactly what she 564 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:08,600 said but she like the general thing that she said was that the gateway experience allowed 565 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:15,280 you to actually explore your divine essence and she talked about how we are infinite and 566 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:24,240 after reading that I was biking home and I had this entire like mindset shift like over 567 00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:31,080 the past couple days I was really spending a lot of thought energy thinking about my 568 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:37,160 goal like being in Hawaii I was like thinking about a lot especially during my meditations 569 00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:43,160 and then after reading that I was just in this completely different perspective like 570 00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:48,880 all of a sudden the goal didn't really matter as much anymore like all of a sudden now the 571 00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:53,800 next thing that I really need to get into is spirituality. 572 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:59,160 Yes I still want to achieve the goal but now like everything in life just kind of seems 573 00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:05,120 less significant or it just feels like I'm a lot more it kind of feels like I had these 574 00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:10,840 different thoughts like this one thought popped into my mind where we're infinite beings so 575 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:17,320 and then she also said our souls are immortal and so when I was cooking earlier today I 576 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:23,080 this thought creeped into my mind it was like so since we're immortal maybe we are experiencing 577 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:34,080 life just to have a perspective and to actually start to maybe we live in life so we can more 578 00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:43,480 appreciate being infinite like maybe if we were infinite beings then we were then we 579 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:51,240 decided to go into life to experience the finite so we can better appreciate being infinite 580 00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:58,040 maybe we lost our appreciation for the infinite maybe I'm just making a bunch of stuff up 581 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:04,040 but the point is that I started thinking differently after this one post and I started like thinking 582 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:11,960 bigger thoughts and different things and I had a different perspective around me too like 583 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:18,760 today during my gym class we were playing we're at the every Tuesday we go to the ice 584 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:25,240 rink and we skate and so we were playing soccer on the ice which is actually so fun and I 585 00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:30,040 was like the only person on my team that was like really doing anything and then there 586 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:35,040 was two girls on the other team that were very good figure skaters and this one girl 587 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:42,200 in the beginning of the class I really like I this one girl is like cute and so I was 588 00:56:42,200 --> 00:56:49,560 like you know how it goes I thought that she was cute but I never really talked to her 589 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:53,560 and then today we were like me and her were literally just going at it back and forth 590 00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:58,200 because we're on opposite teams and we're the only two people that could actually play 591 00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:01,720 and so we were basically going at it like back and forth I was defending and then she 592 00:57:01,720 --> 00:57:07,480 was defending like all this and like it got to the point where like it was getting like 593 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:12,040 I would like we almost fell in like we kind of fell into each other and like all this 594 00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:18,320 stuff and she gave me she was like high five and all this stuff a couple months ago if 595 00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:23,600 that would have happened to me I would have been thinking about that experience and her 596 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:30,720 literally for the rest of the week but lately ever also the fact that I put girls in the 597 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:35,720 energy conversion box and I have this affirmation of I'm a man with high standards when it comes 598 00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:43,480 to women ever since those two as well as yeah just those two I am like not really thinking 599 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:50,520 too much about her or girls in general that are in my school or in my town because I know 600 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:58,280 that I have higher standards for and I want like the girl that I really want to spend 601 00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:06,920 my energy on will be my future wife which is not anyone at this school that I go to 602 00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:12,480 and so like that that's another part that like spirituality and like meditation has 603 00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:18,800 actually helped me so much clear my mind and yes meditation is good but doing exercises 604 00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:23,400 during meditation I feel like this was one of my mistakes I would just meditate and simply 605 00:58:23,400 --> 00:58:29,560 just clear my thoughts just focus on my breath for many months and even like I would have 606 00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:35,920 been meditating inconsistently for the past maybe two years or one year but it wasn't 607 00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:45,480 till like and also since I started meditating consistently over summer break I was just 608 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:50,360 like focusing on my breath and literally just sitting there in silence which is good but 609 00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,920 once I started the gateway experience and actually implementing these tools and using 610 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:58,960 them practically like the energy conversion box that actually started to change things 611 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:07,000 in me like in the intro to focus 12 the beginning Robert Monroe basically says like these exercises 612 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:12,520 can help you to induce changes in yourself and you can use these tools to make changes 613 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:18,320 in yourself and I've realized that this actually does make changes because now I'm like I have 614 00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:26,440 higher standards for like girls and women and not only that like I'm just not thinking 615 00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:31,360 to I feel like my mind is stronger because especially when I was conditioned on tick 616 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:36,320 talk I used to watch tick tock and my mind was weak and I would literally just the sight 617 00:59:36,320 --> 00:59:42,040 of a girl would just make my mind race and I would just constantly think about that girl 618 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:49,760 especially if I had a just a normal interaction with her like let's say I just said hello 619 00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:55,040 or she said hello like just a normal attraction I would rate my mind would race and today's 620 00:59:55,040 --> 01:00:00,560 interaction was like crazy like we were like ice skating and like we bumped like we were 621 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:10,200 like I like ran into her on accident and we were like literally going at it on the rink 622 01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:15,000 and then we high-fived and all this stuff I would have my mind would have raced and 623 01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:20,880 to be honest my mind did race a little bit but I was able to control it and now I'm like 624 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:27,840 it's not even I'm not even thinking about it but like that's the power of meditation 625 01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:35,720 and this is why I really believe that I'm like right now my I really like that concept 626 01:00:35,720 --> 01:00:41,440 of how strong my mind is like on tick tock my mind was weak now my mind is like moderately 627 01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:48,320 weak so I'm trying to strengthen it because then I'll be capable of doing a lot more things 628 01:00:48,320 --> 01:00:53,840 but that's it to wrap things up don't forget to download your favorite episodes and subscribe 629 01:00:53,840 --> 01:01:06,880 to the ascend momentum
