1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,200 Are you losing the very essence of you? 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:08,120 So lately I've been really getting into spirituality and 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,480 really getting into 4 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:17,620 these few books that I really believe are gonna change my life or change my entire 5 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,860 interpretation of life how I see the world and everything. I 6 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,480 believe that they'll shatter my worldview and 7 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,200 they've already started to confirm a lot of my suspicions. 8 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,200 So these books I learned about on a 9 00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,920 website called the most beautiful world and on that website there's a reading list. 10 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:48,520 The ultimate reading list for human beings and I've talked about it so many times on this ep on this podcast. So I'm not gonna go into 11 00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:52,720 depth but pretty much the seven books that I'm reading are 12 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:57,440 a scent of humanity, die wise, come of age, 13 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,160 Toofty the Priestess, 14 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,160 Journeys out of the body, 15 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,720 the Egypt Code and Dancing After the Music Stops. 16 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:13,760 And I've started to read them all because there's this reading strategy that I'm using. I'm just trying it out but 17 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,560 where you read seven at once but I 18 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,560 have gotten really into 19 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,680 Dancing After the Music Stops because it's a 20 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,080 it's a very easy read because 21 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,200 there's a lot of pictures and spaces. 22 00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,240 So it's pretty quick in that sense 23 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,520 but it's really good and 24 00:01:41,960 --> 00:01:45,800 it's talked a lot about the school system. 25 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:53,320 It hasn't even talked about it. It just mentions it. Like the author Gene Pascal Rehman. 26 00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:01,480 He just says like there's one quote that I read this morning that really stuck with me because I 27 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:07,600 really had had a suspicion that the school system was bad. All my life 28 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:13,320 I knew that it was bad like I didn't care for school and I thought it was a waste of time. 29 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:20,560 But then just recently I started to get a suspicion that it's actually like really bad for us. Like not just a waste of time 30 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,560 but it's also like 31 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,560 morphing us and it's like 32 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,920 shaping our views on reality to keep us down. 33 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,000 Essentially. 34 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,960 And there's this one quote and I don't remember the quote exactly but I basically have the essence of it. 35 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,720 And in Dancing After Music Stop he says 36 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:49,960 like F school like screw school. No really screw school. 37 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:58,200 All school does is turn like school turns gods into drones. 38 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,240 And for some context I'm just starting to learn of 39 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:09,680 my own essence and I'm just starting to learn that we're actually much more 40 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,240 powerful than we were led to believe in the school system. 41 00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:18,040 And we're we're essentially gods like we are God basically. 42 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:28,240 And I'm just starting to believe that and I'm my plan is to know it like I'm trying to actually experience that 43 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,240 power on my own. 44 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:35,240 And I have this whole plan which I'll get into eventually but I 45 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:42,240 I want to talk about the school system turns the gods into drones. 46 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,240 How terrible of a sentence is that? 47 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,240 It turns gods into drones. 48 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,240 Like it literally turns gods into cogs in the machine. 49 00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,240 In pendulum or in transurfing terms. 50 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:07,240 The school system takes kids who are like little children who are gods. 51 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,240 Like they are powerful creators. 52 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,240 They're humans. 53 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,240 And then it slowly but surely whittles down at that power 54 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:28,240 and instills a worldview of mindset into the child until eventually once they get to 55 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:35,240 graduate they're now a cog in the machine and they go on to work a nine to five job. 56 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:39,240 They go on to be a part of the system. 57 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:46,240 And then there's some other quotes that stuck with me throughout the course of the 58 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,240 book. 59 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:54,240 But that one was like the number one and then another one was the slavery. 60 00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:01,240 The slavery money like the money system that's like 61 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,240 enslaving or something like that. 62 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:09,240 I don't remember the exact quote but it is basically saying that our money system is 63 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,240 like a system of slavery. 64 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:17,240 And I agree because like you're working in nine to five. 65 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:27,240 You're working literally eight hours a day for five days a week for 40 years. 66 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,240 Or if you're lucky thirty five but you're not going to get lucky. 67 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:40,240 You're going to you're going to have to work for a couple of years. 68 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,240 You're going to have to work for a long time. 69 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,240 Like that is that is actually insane. 70 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:53,240 But I don't want to get into money in this chapter or in this episode because to be honest 71 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,240 actually actually let's get into money. 72 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,240 I want to tell a story. 73 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,240 I am beginning to become indifferent to money because I learned that in Transurfing you 74 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,240 should not focus on the money. 75 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:11,240 You should focus on the goal and you should always be happy when money comes to you but 76 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:17,240 never be stressed out if you have to spend money. 77 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,240 And so I've been conscious of my money like mindset a lot. 78 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:29,240 For example at school yesterday my friend was like are you going to buy this certain thing and it's good for your health. 79 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,240 It was something that was good for your health. 80 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:37,240 And then I was like I don't know how much is it cost and then I instantly was like why do I care how much it costs. 81 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,240 Like money is not an issue. 82 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:51,240 And then but today actually I want to tell you that I'm at like less than a hundred dollars in my bank account. 83 00:06:51,240 --> 00:07:04,240 And today like I was in my reading I was studying all morning and I took like a long nap this morning. 84 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,240 And then I got out of my room around like 10 o'clock. 85 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,240 I was in there for like four hours. 86 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,240 Got out at 10 o'clock in the morning. 87 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:25,240 And then my mom said that I don't have like she tried to take out money out of my account because she gave me cash so she wouldn't take it out of my account. 88 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:34,240 And then she said but she couldn't because I didn't even have the money in my account because I have less than like I had like 50 bucks in my account. 89 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:44,240 And so I was like OK I was aware that I had no money. 90 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:56,240 But I instantly recognized that that was just the pendulum trying to pull my attention and trying to take a jab at me. 91 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:01,240 So then I instantly went back in my room without even responding. 92 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:08,240 And then I just started thinking I was like what can I do to get to get out of this situation. 93 00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,240 What can I do to get money. 94 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:17,240 And then literally after maybe one minute of thinking it came to me. 95 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,240 I had I was like where do I have money stashed. 96 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,240 So I was like looking through my drawers where I usually stashed my money. 97 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:36,240 I found a few bucks gave it to my mom but then I remembered I have a hundred dollars of money in an investment like in the stock market. 98 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:47,240 And so I instantly went downstairs and looked at my phone and I couldn't remember what the account that what the app was because the way my phone is set up. 99 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,240 I have to search manually to be able to access an app. 100 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:56,240 So I didn't know what account the app was called. 101 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,240 I didn't know what the app was called. 102 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,240 But then I remembered it was called Fidelity. 103 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:05,240 So I logged in and I sold all my stocks. 104 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:10,240 Now today is Saturday so they won't sell until Monday. 105 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,240 But on Monday I'll get like a hundred dollars so then I'll transfer it over to my account. 106 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:30,240 And then after that I went through all of my subscriptions that I have to like have or the subscriptions that I'm paying for because I have a few subscriptions for podcasting like for my business. 107 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:41,240 And I wrote them all out so I have a bunch of subscriptions but it's not as much money as I expected. 108 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,240 So I have RSS.com which is $15 a month. 109 00:09:46,240 --> 00:10:02,240 Later.com which is $45 a month and then I have podcast.com or.ai which is $143 per year but I already paid for one year so I don't have to worry about that for a while. 110 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:12,240 And then I have Zen business stuff which is per year and then GoDaddy which I don't know what it was. 111 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:20,240 I don't know if they didn't tell me how much it cost but it's it renews in like a few next month I think. 112 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:25,240 But pretty much I only have to pay $60 a month. 113 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:32,240 So from all the money in my account right now I have two months worth of money. 114 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:38,240 So in two months I'll be graduated. 115 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:52,240 So that basically means that I am set for two months so I have two months to find another $60 to get enough money for a third month. 116 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,240 And then I have to just keep on getting. 117 00:10:55,240 --> 00:11:00,240 Literally I only have to get $60 a month to maintain this. 118 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:15,240 And so I went through this whole mindset or this whole like thought process where I'm coming very conscious of all the beliefs instilled in me especially when it comes to money where I made a lot of connections. 119 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:24,240 So first of all I want to tell a story that I've told on this episode before but or not this episode but this show before. 120 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:37,240 I went to Funnel Hacking Live and on the first day I met a man named Gary and he is a very successful businessman, multimillionaire per year. 121 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:52,240 And he like I was like so what I asked him like what do you have any tips for me or like do you have any words of wisdom for me. 122 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:56,240 And what he said was because he had just explained his story. 123 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:02,240 He had been focusing on entrepreneurship ever since he graduated high school. 124 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,240 And he never stopped. 125 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:09,240 And his words of wisdom to me was you guys are young. 126 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,240 So take advantage of the fact that you have people taking care of you. 127 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:22,240 Like you have a family that is like taking care of all of your food that you live at a house. 128 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,240 Like you basically live for free. 129 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,240 You don't have to worry about money. 130 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,240 So just focus on entrepreneurship. 131 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:34,240 And so I went when I this morning when I was mapping out all of my bills. 132 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,240 I say that because I only have like three subscriptions. 133 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:45,240 But when I was mapping all of that out, I was real. 134 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:54,240 I remembered that story about Gary and I remembered that I literally have no I don't have to pay for anything. 135 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,240 Like right now I have all the books that I need for at least a few months. 136 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:04,240 Maybe even longer because I'll be able to read if I if anything I just reread transfer a bunch of times. 137 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:09,240 But I have all the books that I need for at least a few months. 138 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:14,240 And then I've got like food. 139 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,240 I like I've got food shelter. 140 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,240 Everything covered. 141 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,240 My parents pay for everything for me. 142 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:26,240 So literally all I have to worry about is just existing. 143 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:32,240 And since but like I don't have to worry about any monetary money things. 144 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:42,240 And all of the money problems were is all just like a false belief instilled in me by society. 145 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:49,240 And so I'm conscious of that now and working at chipping that away from my mind. 146 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:57,240 And one of the things I realized is since I only have to make $60 a month. 147 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:03,240 Like I I can definitely get that easy because I do get allowance. 148 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,240 So like I get half my age in allowance. 149 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,240 So I get $8 a week. 150 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,240 Which is awesome. 151 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,240 So that's pretty much like $24 a month. 152 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:24,240 So I really only have to make $40 a month to maintain my bills. 153 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,240 And that's not going to be an issue. 154 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,240 So pretty much I'm straight chilling. 155 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,240 Like all I have to do is just keep going to school. 156 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,240 And that's it. 157 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,240 And that's another thing. 158 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,240 I want to talk about that. 159 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:46,240 God's to drone is what the school system does. 160 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:52,240 And I definitely it's this is probably one of the hardest times in my life. 161 00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:56,240 Simply because I'm becoming more aware of the truth. 162 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,240 And I'm learning more and more about how bad school is. 163 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,240 Yet I am still going to school every day. 164 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:11,240 So that is why it's probably one of the hardest times in my life mentally. 165 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:21,240 And honestly, things are looking good because I've got this whole plan mapped out to discover my power. 166 00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:27,240 Like I'm not if you were to ask me one year ago what my plans were. 167 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,240 And I was like actually genuine with you. 168 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:39,240 I probably would have said, well, I want to be in like I want to work on. 169 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,240 I don't even know if I wanted to work on a business a year ago. 170 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:49,240 I probably would have said like I want to learn how to code or something like that. 171 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:56,240 Or yeah, I think I wanted to make money online somehow. 172 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,240 And my method was to learn how to code and build websites that can make money. 173 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:06,240 But one year ago, I was so like I didn't know anything. 174 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,240 Like I didn't even know my path forward. 175 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:21,240 But now fast forward to today, October 14th is the day of recording this. 176 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:27,240 I know like I have this whole plan mapped out and I want to get I want to get into it. 177 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:38,240 So literally all I'm working on right now is just maintain my podcast for the next like 70 days until I graduate or until I finish school. 178 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:49,240 For the next 70 days, I'm going to just maintain like build my channel, build my social media, just maintain my current schedule. 179 00:16:49,240 --> 00:17:00,240 And I'm going to work on literally just work on developing myself spiritually and mentally. 180 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:01,240 Let me explain. 181 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,240 So I'm going to work on developing myself through meditation. 182 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:14,240 I'm going to meditate three days a day, three times a day continuing on because I've been meditating three times a day for the past month. 183 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,240 But I'm going to continue that for the next two months. 184 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,240 And then I'm going to work on in those meditations. 185 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,240 I'm going to work on getting to higher focus levels. 186 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,240 So right now I'm just in the beginning of focus 12. 187 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,240 I'm just I'm in focus 12. 188 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:41,240 I'm not able to get to focus 12 right now, but I'm not able to perceive things and I'll get into my plan on how to be able to perceive things because I'm learning a lot about this stuff. 189 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:55,240 And I'll work on my meditations, but then along the way I'm also going to work on just destroying my worldview absolutely obliterating everything that I know. 190 00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:05,240 I'll be doing that through those meditations as well as reading these books, the seven books that I mentioned. 191 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:11,240 And then I'm also there's a lot of inner work that has to go on as well. 192 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:17,240 For example, I'm constantly calling myself to wake up constantly. 193 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:23,240 And there's a lot of things I'm changing inside myself. 194 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:40,240 Like one thing is I'm trying to build this habit where every single time I see someone I instantly look for something that's notable about them or something that I like something that I admire about them. 195 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:48,240 Because at times I have been in the past I have judged people like mentally. 196 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,240 I just think I judge them for various things. 197 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,240 And why would I judge them? I'm no better than them. 198 00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:07,240 So I'm building this habit of instantly trying to find one thing that I admire about them. 199 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:19,240 And it's actually pretty easy if you're conscious about it because there was one day at the gym where I was like looking around and I had this like awe inspiring moment. 200 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,240 Like these were the same people that I go to the gym with like every day. 201 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:33,240 But there was just this flip in my mindset where I had this awe inspiring moment after literally just looking at everyone in my gym and just finding something notable about them. 202 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:40,240 I was like, wow, I'm surrounded by a bunch of awesome people like a bunch of cool people. 203 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:50,240 And like it was a cool thing to experience because my reality was the same but my perception absolutely radically changed in that moment. 204 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:57,240 So that is another thing that I'm working on but I want to get into the books. 205 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:02,240 I'm reading these books and these are going to be teaching me. 206 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,240 I've read like almost all of the four words in the introductions of the books. 207 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:17,240 Some of them are really hard to read, which is good because in one of the four words, I'm pretty sure it was the four word of come of age. 208 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:25,240 Charles Eisenstein said, don't be quick to try and understand the meaning of this book. 209 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:31,240 Like allow yourself not to understand the book, at least in the beginning. 210 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:37,240 And don't be quick to try and add this to your worldview. 211 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:45,240 Because if you read this book with an open mind, then you'll actually find that your worldview is shattered. 212 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:50,240 Like that's basically what Charles Eisenstein said in the intro to come of age. 213 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,240 I'm pretty sure it was the four word of come of age. 214 00:20:53,240 --> 00:21:00,240 But pretty much I believe that there's a lot in these books that I've yet to learn. 215 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:10,240 And I'm going to be honest, like a scent of humanity, come of age, die wise, and the Egypt code so far. 216 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:20,240 Those four books are like the hardest for me to read because I see them as just big, long books that are hard to read. 217 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:24,240 Which wouldn't be a problem if I was just reading them individually. 218 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:35,240 But the fact is that I am reading seven books at once, which is a hit fall to that strategy because I find myself not reading as much of those four books. 219 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:45,240 And going to the interesting books to me, to me, they're more interesting simply because I've already understood like what they're talking about. 220 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:50,240 Even though I haven't read it yet, but I have like background knowledge on them. 221 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:59,240 So I might stop doing the seven book method because it's not like efficient for me. 222 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:05,240 So that is like what I'm doing with the books. 223 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,240 And that's my plan for the next 70 days. 224 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:18,240 Literally just lock in and just radically change myself once again because I radically changed myself multiple times in the past year. 225 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:28,240 Especially over summer break and also even over this school year, the past two months, I've radically changed myself. 226 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:37,240 So I plan on doing that again and locking in even deeper and more into what is going on. 227 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:41,240 And I want to talk about spirituality a little bit more. 228 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:48,240 So there's this book that I'm reading. 229 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:53,240 It's called, it's not really a book, it's more of like a document. 230 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,240 And it's 150 pages long. 231 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,240 It's called Seven Resident Colors. 232 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:02,240 I talked about it a little bit in yesterday's episode, but I've read a little bit more of it. 233 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:09,240 And I talked about this one thing about the invisible college, like the invisible school. 234 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:29,240 And it's basically where many people, many people, many humans have developed many different abilities, like extra ordinary abilities like telekinesis, ESP. 235 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,240 I don't know what ESP is, but that's what they said. 236 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:41,240 They're all about viewing, out of body experience, like all of these things, people, there's a group of people who are able to do it, do all those things. 237 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:52,240 And there's also a group of people who can get into higher levels of awareness or higher levels of consciousness during their meditation. 238 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:58,240 So during my meditation, I'm able to get to focus 12, which is the state of expanded awareness. 239 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:02,240 It's like the first state of expanded awareness. 240 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:10,240 And there is 49 focus levels, as described by Miranin. 241 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:18,240 Now, there are thousands of focus levels, but for the purposes of humans, there's 49 focus levels. 242 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,240 And I'm on focus 12. 243 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:26,240 Like that's what I've been able to achieve so far. 244 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:45,240 And there is a group, there's a community, essentially, of humans that are able to sense, or there's a community of people who are able to achieve these high levels of awareness. 245 00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,240 And they're extremely high on the consciousness spectrum. 246 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:56,240 And they're also able to sense out the energy of other people like them in the earth. 247 00:24:56,240 --> 00:25:02,240 And they're able to reach out to them and congregate, essentially. 248 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:13,240 And so they're also able to reach out to people who are, let's say there's someone on focus 35. 249 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:20,240 I don't know if this is actually how it works, but I'm just giving an example of my understanding so far. 250 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:29,240 Let's say there's someone on focus 35, pretty advanced, and they decide they want to train someone. 251 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:37,240 So they seek out someone who's on focus 27, and they seek them out, and then they basically like mentor them. 252 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:46,240 And then that focus 27 now has a person to guide them and like help them through their journey. 253 00:25:46,240 --> 00:26:03,240 And so, essentially, there's a group of people congregated that like basically has a, it's just basically like a school of people who are in those higher levels of focus, conscious awareness. 254 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:20,240 And the minimum entry requirement to get into the school is to be able to get into focus 27, which focus 27 is an extremely expanded state of awareness. 255 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:27,240 It's like the realm of souls and like death or something like that. 256 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:41,240 I don't, like it's where souls go after they die or something like that. I don't really know for like, I don't really know much about it, but it's like a super high advanced focus level. 257 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:47,240 And I do have a little background knowledge on kind of what it takes to get to it. 258 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:58,240 So there's this woman who I read her post about a little while back, and she was, she's a Buddhist and she's been meditating consistently for like 15 years. 259 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:06,240 And then she started the gateway tapes. And then she was able to get to focus 27 within a few months. 260 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:14,240 I don't remember the exact timeframe, but it's probably like less than five months of starting the tapes. 261 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:21,240 Now she had a massive baseline, like she had an extremely strong foundation of meditating for 15 years. 262 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:28,240 So essentially she was able to get to focus 27 in 15 years of experience. 263 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:35,240 Now she didn't meditate with the gateway tapes until 15 years into her journey. 264 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:41,240 And then once she actually used the tapes, she was able to radically increase her speed of progress. 265 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:49,240 And I, and she actually had her husband do it as well. 266 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:53,240 And her husband spent like multiple months just on focus 10. 267 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:58,240 So, and her husband didn't have any experience meditating. 268 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:07,240 So for me, I feel as though I could probably get to focus 27 within like two years. 269 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:19,240 So that's kind of my long term goal with spirituality, achieve focus 27 and enter that school and be in contact with these entity or like these energetic beings. 270 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:27,240 And just learn all about this extra like world that we're a part of that no one knows. 271 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:38,240 And there's this one thing that I read about as well in the gateway experience, or not to give it seven resident colors booklet. 272 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:47,240 They said that spirits are able to like travel across these focus levels. 273 00:28:47,240 --> 00:29:02,240 But humans are much more like their word is explorer, which an explorer is basically a human person who is meditating and exploring through the awareness levels, focus levels. 274 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:16,240 And so humans are actually explorers are much more capable of like higher levels of focus because they have the experience of physical reality. 275 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:34,240 So essentially, we have advantage over souls and spirits like spirits are able to travel through like these dimensions at will and they do multiple like all the time. 276 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:39,240 And we are able to as well and we actually have an advantage over them. 277 00:29:39,240 --> 00:30:02,240 However, our like there was they basically said we're only held back by our own limits by our limitations we place upon ourselves, which goes along with Transurfing because you get exactly what you choose and your like lot in life is only limited by your own limitations you place upon yourself. 278 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:09,240 So that's another thing like that goes back to the school system turns gods into drones. 279 00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:14,240 It teaches you to instill limitations upon yourself. 280 00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:22,240 So basically places a worldview inside of you to literally just suppress your power so much through your internal beliefs. 281 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:39,240 And so that's why I really think that like that's why in my meditation today I asked myself like asked my higher self, what are my limitations that I'm like, how am I holding myself back through my own limitations. 282 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:54,240 And I'm really like trying to figure out what what my limitations are and being conscious of that because I'm capable of achieving focus 49 right now the second. 283 00:30:54,240 --> 00:31:03,240 But I have limitations and my limitations are so powerful that I'm barely even able to get focus 12. 284 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:19,240 Now I am unsure if I would be able to actually perceive focus 49, or if I would even be able to get there because there is something every seven focus levels you kind of transcend and it's called it's like the circle. 285 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:27,240 And it's like all encompassing so I'm not actually sure if I'd able to get focus 49 right now even if I had like no limiting beliefs. 286 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:39,240 I'm not sure how it works because I also learned that there is like a barrier of entry between every seven focus levels. 287 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:58,240 Once you get to focus seven focus 14 focus 21 28 and onwards every seven all the way up to 49. There's a barrier that you have to go through to be able to reach the next level. 288 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:11,240 So, and that prevents and that's placed so it prevents you from de evolving like going back and like going lower conscious consciousness. 289 00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:26,240 And so I, where am I going with this. 290 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:33,240 Like we're only limited by our intent or like intention and the limitations we place upon ourself. 291 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,240 And there's a another thing. 292 00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:47,240 So basically, we have a higher self, which is basically like we have access to it all the time through like intuition and stuff. 293 00:32:47,240 --> 00:33:07,240 And then especially once you get to focus 12, you're able you're in the expanded awareness. So you're able to cast out questions to your higher self and receive them back with a like a larger awareness or like a larger view of what's the word. 294 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:14,240 You're able to receive answers back in the context of the larger scheme of things. 295 00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:27,240 And so we have a higher self and I was realizing like I read that our higher self is basically trying to is is also in a search for us. 296 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:35,240 So we're us we're in a search for our higher self. And at the same time our higher self isn't a search for us. 297 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:44,240 Like we're both trying to get to each other until eventually we can like become one, I think, or evolve together. 298 00:33:44,240 --> 00:33:51,240 Like we have to we have to be with each other to build evolve each other with like we have to reach each other to build evolve together. 299 00:33:51,240 --> 00:34:01,240 Like my higher self can't evolve unless he reaches unless I reach me or my higher self reaches me and the higher self. 300 00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:09,240 And then once once we like reach each other and we like merge or something like that, we realize that we were always one. 301 00:34:09,240 --> 00:34:13,240 Like it's just I don't really know how it works. 302 00:34:13,240 --> 00:34:30,240 But essentially we have a higher self that's trying to get to us and it can't evolve unless it reaches us and we have to reach it so we can evolve. 303 00:34:30,240 --> 00:34:41,240 So I'm basically in my once I reach focus 12, like I basically talk I try and like talk to it and send message to it. 304 00:34:41,240 --> 00:34:53,240 Like say I'm coming I'm on my way. And I also say when I when I just left focus 12 today, I said, I'll be back soon. 305 00:34:53,240 --> 00:35:01,240 And I'm just trying to get closer and closer with my higher self so I can actually evolve. 306 00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:14,240 And there's another thing I want to talk about all all around me I see people wasting time, like people living a miserable existence part of the system. 307 00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:21,240 And especially now that I'm reading Dancing After The Music stops and all these other books, I'm becoming even more conscious of it. 308 00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:33,240 Where people are just kind of living a fake life and they're kind of living a miserable existence like waking up going on their phone, going to work, coming home, going on their phone, going to bed. 309 00:35:33,240 --> 00:35:37,240 They literally just not doing anything with their lives. 310 00:35:37,240 --> 00:35:41,240 And I'm becoming even more and more conscious of it. It's around me all the time. 311 00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:58,240 And today I actually was so downed by it. I was like, is this really what I like kept on like asking myself. I kept on saying in my head like imagining myself, like going into an outrage and yelling at the person and saying, 312 00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:14,240 is this really how you want to live your life and like getting really pissed off. And so it's really gotten to me today. But then I was like, I am super conscious of the fact that I shouldn't be investing my thought energy on it. 313 00:36:14,240 --> 00:36:32,240 And so I'm conscious of that. And I'm actually, I actually created this affirmation, another affirmation today where I look at myself in the mirror and I say, you're, you're destined for more. 314 00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:40,240 You are getting more, you are great. You're destined for greatness. And like that, you are destined for greatness like that. 315 00:36:40,240 --> 00:36:50,240 I look at myself in the mirror and get hype like that. And I like did that just like, I did it. 316 00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:58,240 The first time I did, I wasn't even thinking about doing I just looked at myself in the mirror after being mad about like looking at someone wasting their life. 317 00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:06,240 I looked at myself in the mirror and just, it just came out naturally. I just reminded myself that I'm, I'm headed for more like I'm headed to greatness. 318 00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:12,240 Like, and I'm on my way to greatness and I'm on my way to an amazing successful life. 319 00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:27,240 And so now I'm going to be conscious of that every time I see, every time I realize that other people's like life choices get to me, I always have to remind myself and look at myself in the mirror and do that affirmation. 320 00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:45,240 And the second I finished that affirmation, I was instantly like made a connection to Funalacking Live. And at Funalacking Live, there was two types of speakers, a kind of content educational speaker who was just teaching like strategies and tactics. 321 00:37:45,240 --> 00:37:55,240 And then there was a inspirational motivational speaker who was just teaching or just up there for inspiration and motivation. 322 00:37:55,240 --> 00:38:09,240 And I was after I did that, I was like, Oh, wow, I actually have to be my own motivational speaker. Like after I did that affirmation in the mirror just naturally, I just was like, Oh, I have to be my own inspirational speaker. 323 00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:13,240 That's the epiphany I came to today. 324 00:38:13,240 --> 00:38:29,240 So basically, I have to just keep pushing forward on improve like getting maxed out on my spirituality. And I really believe that are actually let me let me tell another thing. 325 00:38:29,240 --> 00:38:44,240 Basically, I want to talk about the soul and the spirit more. We were placed like we were souls of what I've come to understand so far is that we were souls for all time. 326 00:38:44,240 --> 00:39:00,240 And then we were like placed into a physical body where we started to live a life. And essentially, what I've come to understand is the soul is like longing to experience life. 327 00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:18,240 And so you have two options throughout your life, you can either kind of allow life to pass you by and experience it like that, or you can be intentional about actually being your own creator and being the creator of your own life. 328 00:39:18,240 --> 00:39:30,240 And you can be intentional and try and create your life as as powerful as possible because you were your soul was placed into this life. So you and you are your soul. 329 00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:52,240 What I've the new perspective that I kind of see is we are all we were all souls. So we're like like souls and then we were placed into a body. And then in this body, we'd made our own decisions. And depending on like our brains were like clean sheets. 330 00:39:52,240 --> 00:40:14,240 So they were like blank. And then our brains, which are not our soul, like our brain was depending on where we were placed on this earth, like let's say we were placed in the American school system, then our brains were basically created into a cog in the machine. 331 00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:27,240 Like we were our worldviews were destroyed, or at least obliterated down to the point where we think we're only destined to work a nine to five for 40 years. 332 00:40:27,240 --> 00:40:40,240 And so essentially our soul is like, like we don't even it's gotten our brains, our minds have buried our souls so much that we don't even remember our dreams. 333 00:40:40,240 --> 00:40:51,240 We don't even we're not even conscious of our dreams because when we're dreaming, it's our soul's opportunity to actually float freely along and actually take control of life. 334 00:40:51,240 --> 00:41:03,240 But we're not even like we're so far separated from our souls that we don't even remember our dreams much less able to control them. 335 00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:17,240 Like think about that. We're so separated from our souls that the time that our souls get to take the like get to actually be in their playground. 336 00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:25,240 We're we don't even know that. And we are our souls. 337 00:41:25,240 --> 00:41:38,240 So that's like so saddening. But it's also inspiring because if we've lived like this, we can actually if we've gotten to this point, we can actually reverse it and get back to to living better. 338 00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:48,240 And what I've noticed is that I haven't really done much to kind of improve this. But lately I've been having a lot better dream recall. 339 00:41:48,240 --> 00:42:05,240 Like I'm able to remember my dreams a lot more lately. And I'm actually what I have been trying to do since I started reading Toofty the Priestess, I have been trying to like break down the false beliefs that I believe that dreams are not real 340 00:42:05,240 --> 00:42:12,240 and replace it with the belief that dreams are actually real. They're just as real as physical reality. 341 00:42:12,240 --> 00:42:20,240 And also it's gotten to the point where a few days ago I actually kind of had a partial lucid dream. Now let me explain. 342 00:42:20,240 --> 00:42:36,240 It was very interesting because I remembered like the whole dream. So basically I for context, I have never played football, like American football in my life, like for real with tackling and all that. 343 00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:45,240 But I wanted to try it out last summer going into summer going into senior year. So literally like three months ago, I wanted to try it out. 344 00:42:45,240 --> 00:43:00,240 So I joined the football team at my school for summer camp. And my plan was actually to be on the team during the school year and play football during the school year. 345 00:43:00,240 --> 00:43:10,240 But so I played football and I ended up not really liking it. And so well actually I liked it, but I realized that I had other plans. 346 00:43:10,240 --> 00:43:17,240 Like I wanted to work on business and I wanted to work on self improvement. And I realized if I did football, then I'd have no time in my day. 347 00:43:17,240 --> 00:43:28,240 So what I did was I finished the season or the camp and then I just didn't join the football team for the season during the school year. 348 00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:34,240 And that was a very good decision because I remember on the last and I actually was recording my podcast at this time. 349 00:43:34,240 --> 00:43:40,240 So if you go back, you'll probably be able to hear my comments about the season. 350 00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:49,240 And I remember being so miserable towards the end because I know that I was wasting a lot of time where I could have spent reading books. 351 00:43:49,240 --> 00:44:01,240 And so with that context, I had a dream the other day where I like somehow my dad managed to convince me to join the football team. 352 00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:08,240 And so I did for some reason. I don't really remember why, but I just did. 353 00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:19,240 And then I was like in the locker room getting all my gear on where I was like pissed off and I got really mad. 354 00:44:19,240 --> 00:44:29,240 And then my friend was like, what's up? And I was like, do you ever get so angry because you did something and then you reversed it and then you did it again? 355 00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:33,240 And he was like, no, but I can see where you're coming from. 356 00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:39,240 And then I was like, yeah, this is me right now. And he's like, well, try and reverse it. And I was like, but I already reversed it. 357 00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:47,240 And the reason why I said that is because I was trying to hide from him the fact that I didn't want to be at football camp or football. 358 00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:55,240 But I was like, but the real thing was that I had quit football. 359 00:44:55,240 --> 00:45:01,240 Like I joined football and then I quit and then I joined it back so I can't just quit again, you know? 360 00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:12,240 And this is all my dream. So then after that, we got ready to like we kind of the scene teleported to on top of the stadium. 361 00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:18,240 And this was not like, it was probably like in a way stadium because I'd never been to the stadium before. 362 00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:27,240 And so there was like this stadium where we were all sitting on top of this flat area on the top. 363 00:45:27,240 --> 00:45:33,240 And we were like the whole team was sitting and then I was like sitting, I was like, why? 364 00:45:33,240 --> 00:45:40,240 Like because our whole team was down there practicing on the field, but half the team was up here sitting on the stadium. 365 00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:45,240 And so I was like, why are we slacking off? And then I decided not to slack off anymore. 366 00:45:45,240 --> 00:45:52,240 So then I started to walk down the bleachers and then I tried to like jump the bleachers further and like slide down them. 367 00:45:52,240 --> 00:46:00,240 And then I ended up like, I was like, oh, I'll just fly down. So I for then I just flew down the bleachers and I flew down to the field. 368 00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:06,240 And then once I got down, I was like, oh, wow, I'm I'm flying like I'm dreaming. 369 00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:11,240 So then I had an instant realization that I was dreaming. 370 00:46:11,240 --> 00:46:18,240 So at this moment, I'm at the bottom. I'm at the football field on the football field and I realized that I'm dreaming. 371 00:46:18,240 --> 00:46:23,240 And now I'm conscious. And let me give some more context. 372 00:46:23,240 --> 00:46:32,240 For context lately, I have towards my REM sleep stage of the night, I tend to wake up a lot towards the end of dreams. 373 00:46:32,240 --> 00:46:40,240 I don't know why and I'm trying to fix the problem, but I lately I've been like waking up a lot and my dreaming has been kind of shallow. 374 00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:49,240 So going back into the dream, I flew down and landed on the field and I instantly had this realization that I was dreaming. 375 00:46:49,240 --> 00:46:59,240 So I got really excited. And then I kind of I was like, OK, so I got super excited. 376 00:46:59,240 --> 00:47:03,240 And I don't really remember like the specifics of what happened next. 377 00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:09,240 But all I remember was trying to change the scene radically to my goal. 378 00:47:09,240 --> 00:47:14,240 I kind of remember hearing like this beach Hawaiian music. 379 00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:24,240 And then I saw like my entire screen like that I was looking at like my entire viewpoint was very blurry. 380 00:47:24,240 --> 00:47:29,240 So I heard the music and I kind of heard like the wind and the waves crashing. 381 00:47:29,240 --> 00:47:33,240 But like the visual, the image was not very strong. 382 00:47:33,240 --> 00:47:38,240 Like I could kind of make out a resemblance of a palm tree and that's about it. 383 00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:42,240 Other than that, everything was like black and even the palm tree was black. 384 00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:49,240 No, OK, so the palm tree was black, but everything else was kind of like blackish blue. 385 00:47:49,240 --> 00:47:56,240 And so I realized that because for more context, sorry, I give too much context in the middle of the story. 386 00:47:56,240 --> 00:48:04,240 I for context, whenever during these times when I'm like waking up in the middle of the night after the dream, 387 00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:10,240 I realized that it's another opportunity to go straight into a lucid like go straight into a dream. 388 00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:18,240 So I try and like fall asleep and try and evoke a dream like go into a dream consciously. 389 00:48:18,240 --> 00:48:24,240 And so during when that happens, you get into a dream and it's like really weak. 390 00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:26,240 Like the dream is very weak. 391 00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:32,240 And so you have to kind of like sit it out and hope for the best that it like stabilizes. 392 00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:38,240 If not, like any sudden movement that you make with your body, the dream ends instantly. 393 00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:41,240 So you have to be very careful about it. 394 00:48:41,240 --> 00:48:50,240 And so when I was in that stage of radically shifting the dream to my goal, which is in Hawaii, 395 00:48:50,240 --> 00:49:01,240 I realized that I was in the stage of like my dream was very weak and any sudden movement, I like wake up. 396 00:49:01,240 --> 00:49:12,240 And so I realized that and then I don't remember what happened next, but essentially I was like woke up and I teleported. 397 00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:18,240 So after trying to change my dream, I instantly woke up in a tent. 398 00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:24,240 So I woke up, but now I'm in a dream again and I thought that I was in real life. 399 00:49:24,240 --> 00:49:27,240 So I woke up, but I was in a dream. 400 00:49:27,240 --> 00:49:29,240 I woke up in a dream essentially. 401 00:49:29,240 --> 00:49:31,240 And now I'm asleep again. 402 00:49:31,240 --> 00:49:33,240 I'm consciously asleep. 403 00:49:33,240 --> 00:49:35,240 And so I'm dreaming again. 404 00:49:35,240 --> 00:49:43,240 I woke up in the tent and then I got out of the tent and I like had my football pads on, but I didn't really notice. 405 00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:49,240 And then I walked straight to the bathroom, which I want to create this image for you. 406 00:49:49,240 --> 00:49:52,240 I was in this tent, which was like right over here. 407 00:49:52,240 --> 00:49:56,240 And then I would the tent was like right next to a football field. 408 00:49:56,240 --> 00:50:06,240 And then there was like along the football field was like stands and like a players bench for the team. 409 00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:18,240 And then right behind that was another or was like this big kind of portable blow up bathroom with like a bunch of urinals in it. 410 00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:19,240 Which was really weird. 411 00:50:19,240 --> 00:50:24,240 It was like a bouncy house, like a blow up inflatable bathroom. 412 00:50:24,240 --> 00:50:27,240 So I walked in there and went to the bathroom instantly. 413 00:50:27,240 --> 00:50:31,240 It must have just been a habit to instantly go to the bathroom right when I wake up. 414 00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:41,240 But I went in there and then one of my football coaches came into the bathroom also and like asked me what's up. 415 00:50:41,240 --> 00:50:49,240 Like, or you know, he asked me like why did I go to bed or something like that? 416 00:50:49,240 --> 00:51:00,240 Because apparently I or no, no, no, no, no, he asked me why did I keep running with the ball? 417 00:51:00,240 --> 00:51:01,240 And then I responded. 418 00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:05,240 I was like, I realized that I had no idea what he was talking about. 419 00:51:05,240 --> 00:51:09,240 But I instantly inferred that I was just in a football game. 420 00:51:09,240 --> 00:51:14,240 So then I was like, I told him like, Oh, to be honest, I have no idea. 421 00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:17,240 I have no recollection of what happened. 422 00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:24,240 All I remember is that I was dreaming and then I realized that I was in a lucid dream. 423 00:51:24,240 --> 00:51:31,240 So I literally explained to my coach in a dream that in that same dream, I was lucid just a few moments before. 424 00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:38,240 And then I told him that I was dreaming and then I was lucid. 425 00:51:38,240 --> 00:51:41,240 But then I was so excited that I just woke up. 426 00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:44,240 And so I woke up in the tent right over there. 427 00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:47,240 And then I just went straight to the bathroom. 428 00:51:47,240 --> 00:51:54,240 So that like, that was such a weird kind of dream looking back on it because so many different things happened. 429 00:51:54,240 --> 00:52:01,240 And then he told me like, I don't remember what happened after that, but that's basically like my whole dream. 430 00:52:01,240 --> 00:52:07,240 So I was, I was, I became lucid in a dream and then I was so excited. 431 00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:09,240 I fell back asleep in the same dream. 432 00:52:09,240 --> 00:52:17,240 And then I told someone in the dream that I was just lucid in that dream while I was asleep. 433 00:52:17,240 --> 00:52:29,240 So it's like, I'm, I'm trying to get more conscious and more lucid during dreams. 434 00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:35,240 And I actually, this is the first, I actually wrote a lot of notes for this episode. 435 00:52:35,240 --> 00:52:45,240 And there's only like seven minutes left on this episode, but I just realized that I, this is the first time where, 436 00:52:45,240 --> 00:52:54,240 first of all, it's the first time where I actually wrote the most notes, but it's also the first time where I've gotten so far and I haven't even finished all my notes. 437 00:52:54,240 --> 00:52:59,240 Usually I get like 30 minutes into the episode and I have no notes left. 438 00:52:59,240 --> 00:53:00,240 So I have to wing it for the rest. 439 00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:04,240 But now I'm able to talk about the rest of my notes. 440 00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:09,240 So I want to talk about, okay, I only have like three things left, which all go together. 441 00:53:09,240 --> 00:53:12,240 So I want to talk about my focus 12 experience. 442 00:53:12,240 --> 00:53:24,240 As you guys know, I am just like, I've been meditating for one month using the gateway experience and that whole month was just focused on getting to focus 10. 443 00:53:24,240 --> 00:53:30,240 And now just recently for maybe like less than a week, I've been focused on getting into focus 12. 444 00:53:30,240 --> 00:53:37,240 So I am at focus 12, but as I read in the seven, as I learned in the seven resident colors booklet, 445 00:53:37,240 --> 00:53:46,240 once you get to a new focus level and you're in it's like outside of your ability, you're there, but you're not able to perceive it because you haven't built up like the senses, 446 00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:52,240 like basically the virtual senses to build experience and perceive what is going on. 447 00:53:52,240 --> 00:54:03,240 So essentially my focus 12 is basically just a dark void and I'm able to visualize better in that like in that thing, 448 00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:07,240 but I'm not really able to perceive much in the focus 12. 449 00:54:07,240 --> 00:54:21,240 So what I learned is that if you you basically have to develop or so you basically have to get into focus 12 multiple times to build us like solidify your perceptions 450 00:54:21,240 --> 00:54:27,240 and be able to actually solidify your stance or your presence in there. 451 00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:29,240 So then you'll actually be able to perceive it. 452 00:54:29,240 --> 00:54:44,240 So essentially the first point is that I learned that simple practice like just doing it every day multiple times a day and just practicing and just being there will already set me on the path to being successful with focus 12. 453 00:54:44,240 --> 00:54:57,240 But another thing I learned is they said that you should actually try and consciously develop your senses like your five senses in basically develop your virtual senses in the meditation. 454 00:54:57,240 --> 00:55:07,240 Like try and try and visualize with all the senses like before I was just visualizing with vision, 455 00:55:07,240 --> 00:55:17,240 but now I'm trying to add in visualizing with feeling and hearing and seeing and smelling and tasting, 456 00:55:17,240 --> 00:55:25,240 which I'll be honest, I had no what like I'm not able to visualize much less visualize senses. 457 00:55:25,240 --> 00:55:40,240 And so that was a very difficult thing. It probably took me like the whole time just to get an instant moment of a sense. 458 00:55:40,240 --> 00:55:43,240 But I know that I'm able to do it with practice. 459 00:55:43,240 --> 00:55:51,240 So right now I'm just beginning trying to develop my virtual senses and I'm not able I'm not like I'm not able to do it. 460 00:55:51,240 --> 00:55:56,240 I'm going to be honest, but after a few weeks or months of practice, I'll be able to do it. 461 00:55:56,240 --> 00:56:01,240 And there's another thing. They're in the seven resident colors. 462 00:56:01,240 --> 00:56:06,240 They were talking about getting a guide and getting someone to guide you. 463 00:56:06,240 --> 00:56:12,240 So they said what you can do is visualize yourself in a cafe or a coffee shop. 464 00:56:12,240 --> 00:56:23,240 And then like with two seats, one person sitting in front of you or sitting like an empty seat in front of you. 465 00:56:23,240 --> 00:56:25,240 And then like the guide will appear eventually. 466 00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:31,240 And I didn't really read that much of that of that sentence. 467 00:56:31,240 --> 00:56:39,240 But basically I read the coffee shop and then I went into my meditation to just try it out. 468 00:56:39,240 --> 00:56:51,240 And what I realized is or what I did was I visualize myself in a coffee shop with a table and one empty chair in front of me and me sitting in my empty chair. 469 00:56:51,240 --> 00:56:54,240 And then just to the right of me is a fireplace. 470 00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:59,240 And then I had a cup of coffee right in front of me, which I don't drink coffee. 471 00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:03,240 I think I've only tasted coffee once in my life. 472 00:57:03,240 --> 00:57:11,240 But for the purposes of practicing my senses, that was like the perfect environment. 473 00:57:11,240 --> 00:57:17,240 Because I was able to practice my vision through visualizing that coffee shop. 474 00:57:17,240 --> 00:57:20,240 And then I was able to practice my hearing through. 475 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:26,240 At first I tried to visualize a constant like chatter. 476 00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:32,240 Like imagine sitting in a coffee shop where people are talking like that kind of background commotion. 477 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,240 But then I realized like I don't want that. 478 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:46,240 So then I just visualize like I had a quiet room, but I visualized the sounds made by the fire crackling. 479 00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,240 So that was cool. 480 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:56,240 I'm not really able to my again my senses are not strong in the focus of but I visualize my sound through that. 481 00:57:56,240 --> 00:58:08,240 And then I smelled like the aroma of the coffee because there's like there's a there's always this like distinct scent in a coffee shop. 482 00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:18,240 And I tried to smell that and then for feel I tried to feel like the glossy smooth wood of the kind of table. 483 00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:24,240 And I also felt my the hot warm coffee cup and held it. 484 00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:28,240 And then I tried to taste the coffee. 485 00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:34,240 I'm not even able to taste the coffee, but like that's pretty much what I was trying to do. 486 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:46,240 And I found that I realized that doing that and practicing my senses will actually strengthen my like solidify my position and strengthen my position inside of focus wealth. 487 00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:50,240 So it'll help me move faster along my journey. 488 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:54,240 And so that's basically like what I'm doing. 489 00:58:54,240 --> 00:59:00,240 But that's just a small part of like that was just maybe a few minutes of visualization. 490 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:12,240 But what I've done now is during my visual while visualizing my goal and now I incorporate a lot of feelings and senses into it now. 491 00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:21,240 And I actually go through a routine because another thing that I'd learned is to strengthen your position in focus 12 even more. 492 00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:26,240 You visualize yourself doing things that you do in real life. 493 00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:38,240 And so I figured that if I do that in focus 12 as well as inside of my goal like inside of my slide while I'm visualizing something, it'll strengthen both my focus 12 as well as my slide for my goal. 494 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,240 So it'll be a double whammy. 495 00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:48,240 And I basically just visualize myself doing my whole daily routine that I would do at home. 496 00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:59,240 But it would take place in the at my goal in Hawaii, which I've modified it slightly because I'll have more resources. 497 00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:04,240 For example, instead of a cold shower, I take a 15 minute ice bath. 498 01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:11,240 And instead of meditating in my room at home, I meditate outside on the beach in the sun on the sand. 499 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:15,240 So that's pretty much like what I what I'm doing in my meditations. 500 01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:17,240 I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. 501 01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:33,240 So to wrap things up, actually, before I end off real quick, I want to tell I want to admit that there are many times where I find that it's very difficult to create one hour of content every single day. 502 01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:46,240 And like have it all unique because that basically gets me to the point where I have to learn at least one hour of new stuff, which I know that I'm I'm definitely learning one hour of new stuff. 503 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:57,240 But the hard part is remembering all of that stuff and writing it down, which is why I'm very glad that I was in the zone while I was writing my notes for this episode.
