HUGE Lessons Learned Through Meditation and Study

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:14,000 So the big question is this, how do young men like us who didn't listen to society, who are on our own, how do we grow and improve ourselves so that we can live a better tomorrow? 2 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000 That is the question and this show will give you the answers. 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:30,000 My name is James Radzinski and welcome to the Ascend Momentum Show. 4 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,000 Welcome back everybody. Today was a very good day. Let me tell you what happened. 5 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:52,000 So I have not even done a single thing to move towards my goals yet. I have moved towards my goals more so than I have in the last week. Let me explain. 6 00:00:52,000 --> 00:01:16,000 So there is a book called Rally Transurfing and this book is probably the best book. Hands down this book is the best book I have ever read and probably will read in my life. 7 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:28,000 And the lessons that I have learned, the things that I have learned to do from this book is invaluable. 8 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:40,000 Let me explain what this book is. This book is, if I had to only read one book my entire life, I would choose Rally Transurfing. 9 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:56,000 If I was given that, if I was teleported to a deserted island and was given one item of my choice to help me survive, I would choose Rally Transurfing. 10 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000 I would not choose like a knife or anything else. I would choose Rally Transurfing. 11 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:12,000 That book, this book is the best book that I have ever read. So what is in the book? 12 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:30,000 The book is very hard to explain at this point because even though I am in the middle of reading the second time through, it is still super hard to explain. 13 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Pretty much it changed my life and it makes you, it tells you, from the information that you learn in that book, you basically change how you see, react and view the world and everything inside of it. 14 00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:07,000 I don't get, nearly, I am not mad anymore. I don't get, all my emotions are mostly positive now and I am still working on making it better. 15 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:23,000 My mind has been clear. Just all around. It is pretty much a book about world view, how you perceive the world and the things that are happening inside of it. 16 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:29,000 But it is a lot more than just that too. 17 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:40,000 If you are into Stoicism, it is kind of like, I don't know anything about Stoicism, but my friend read a lot of Stoicism books and he also read Transurfing. 18 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000 I am pretty sure he explained it very well. 19 00:03:43,000 --> 00:04:02,000 Reality Transurfing is very similar to Stoicism except it is a lot more goal oriented, like goal based and it is a lot more practical information. 20 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:25,000 So with that being said, I want to tell you what happened to me today. Over the past month, let's say, 20 days I have been meditating consistently and today changed everything for me. 21 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:33,000 I have been meditating consistently for the past 20 days, but I have been meditating inconsistently for the past year. 22 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:51,000 And let me tell you this, today, the amount of discoveries and epiphanies that I have had are worth so much and I am sharing them with you right now. 23 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:59,000 So as I said earlier, I have been meditating for quite some time now. 24 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:11,000 And today, I did my normal morning meditation and then after I was done with my morning routine, done with the gym, done with studying, 25 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:24,000 I mean my friend go to the park every day at 9 o'clock in the morning and just hang out, do like a workout like cardio, climb trees. 26 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:34,000 Just pretty much we go there shirtless and barefoot so we can get a lot of sun and barefoot because lots of reasons. 27 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:45,000 Let's not get into that right now because I am talking about this. And we had climbed a very tall tree, one that didn't have any branches accessible. 28 00:05:45,000 --> 00:06:03,000 You had to like bear crawl your way up. And I will tell you this, after we climbed the tree, I wanted to go into the grass and lay in the grass and get some sun. 29 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:17,000 And so I just decided to meditate. We decided to meditate. And we meditated once and I got a pretty good meditation and I learned some stuff. 30 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:33,000 And there is this thing in Transurfing called signs and it is basically where if you are moving closer to your goal, you will see these signs in real life. 31 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:45,000 And it just basically shows that you are on the right track. So after I was meditating that one time, it was a deep meditation. 32 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000 And I learned some valuable lessons in that which I will share after this. 33 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:59,000 But once I got out of my meditation, my friend was like, are you ready to get some work done? 34 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Referencing us going back home and starting to work on our business. 35 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:16,000 And I just ignored it. I don't know. I was awake and I was present, 100% present. 36 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:24,000 But something in me just, it was just like a habit almost, where I just looked away and ignored what just happened and forgot about it. 37 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:34,000 And then I just started looking around at the trees and around the park and just around my environment, around me. 38 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:41,000 And I started getting really happy and grateful because I love this place. 39 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Which is crazy because a couple of days ago, and even yesterday, even this morning, I am still like, I got to get out of here. 40 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:54,000 I got to get rich and move forward so I can get out of here. 41 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:00,000 But today, during that meditation, I learned to love my environment. 42 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:09,000 And that's one of the principles of Transurfing. You have to love your area so you can align your thoughts to that. 43 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:15,000 So you can induce a shift in your life to a better area. 44 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:26,000 So that's the whole premise of Transurfing. Your thoughts are basically, your thoughts can change your environment pretty much. 45 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,000 And so I'm sitting here just having done meditating. 46 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:38,000 And my friend Franklin said, you ready to get some work done? 47 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,000 I just looked away with indifference and ignored it. 48 00:08:43,000 --> 00:09:03,000 And I was just looking around and then probably about 6 or 7 seconds later, maybe 10 seconds, this yellow sports car, very nice sports car, drives across the street. 49 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:11,000 In this very crappy road, it's like a not very good road that people would not want to drive a sports car on. 50 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:17,000 And this sports car drives across the street right in front of me. 51 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:23,000 And I point over to my friend and he knows what signs are. He knows he's Red Transurfing before. 52 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:31,000 And I get his attention and point to that car and I just said, there it is. 53 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000 And we both knew exactly what it was. And that was an awesome experience. 54 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:45,000 And so after that moment, we talked and I deconstructed what just happened. 55 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:55,000 And that was a sign that I'm moving closer to my goals. So that's one thing. 56 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:20,000 But once we deconstructed what was happening, we came to the conclusion that we had been, we're both 17 years old, and we had been, our brains have been molded and full of trash from society for 17 years. 57 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:42,000 And we came to the conclusion that meditation is the way to cure that. And we must meditate every day consistently for a long, like every, like today I've probably meditated for maybe two or three hours so far, like total time, depending on how long of a meditation I was at the park, because we didn't time it, we didn't have our phones with us. 58 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:56,000 But we came to the conclusion that we must clean up our minds. And this will take a lot of time in order to move forward now. 59 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:16,000 And also, we must start living now. And this is one of the big pieces of Transurfing. 60 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:27,000 It's that you must align your thinking patterns to how you want your life to be. 61 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:46,000 So we realized today that we had been working towards our businesses and saying, pretty much what we were doing is we're going to get rich so we can start living once we're rich. 62 00:11:46,000 --> 00:12:07,000 Like we're not living now, we're going to start living once we're rich. And what we realized now is that we have to start living now and have great experiences now, like what I just had with meditation, and start loving our area and being super grateful for what we have right now. 63 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:27,000 We have to start living now. And that is, we must start cleaning our minds up. And then that will allow us to be happy where we are. 64 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:51,000 And I explained it to him like this. So every time we do something like this and keep studying Reality Transurfing, that book, every time we do that, and then what I noticed after I was done with that meditation is that my base happiness level increased a little bit. 65 00:12:51,000 --> 00:13:01,000 And so every single time we do that, it increases a little bit more and more and more until eventually our base gets to like our peak happiness. 66 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:13,000 And then during that journey to the peak happiness, we will be a lot of things will change around us in our environment and our world. 67 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:22,000 And then by the time we get to that peak happiness, we'll be at our destination and we'll be happy along the way. 68 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:31,000 So, and that is especially good because that builds ourself, our own character. 69 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:44,000 And so that means that once we get to our destination, we'll be happy there. But then let's say we want to visit our family and come back, we'll be happy here too because that's our base happiness level. 70 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:55,000 Our happiness has to be detached from our environment pretty much. And I believe that the way you do that is by studying Reality Transurfing and meditating. 71 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:05,000 So then once we came to that conclusion, we decided that we wanted to meditate again and have that same experience. 72 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:21,000 So we meditated again and mind you, we were meditating in the grass with no shirt on, no shoes, just we only had the only thing that we had on our body was our underwear and our shorts. 73 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:29,000 And we were, it was a very sunny day and we were in the middle of the grass in the middle of a park, like a soccer field. 74 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:47,000 And we were like the only ones at that park. And we were just laying, like a, we're just laying just on our backs with our eyes closed and it's like very still, like we did not move at all. 75 00:14:47,000 --> 00:15:00,000 And what we came to the conclusion about, so let me tell you my experience of that meditation. The first meditation was awesome. 76 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,000 And then the second meditation, I kind of had an expectation to have the same experience. 77 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:17,000 And then I quickly became aware of that expectation and realized that we should not have that, have expectations because then it won't happen. And that's a principle of Transurfing. 78 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:28,000 Expectation do not have expectation. And that's the same thing with like our goals too, which I think we are having expectation that we're going to be rich soon. 79 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:40,000 We can have the expectation that we'll be rich, that we are rich, but we can't have the expectation that we're rich soon. So, because then it just won't happen. 80 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:56,000 And so I quickly like deleted that expectation from my mind. And then during my meditation, I realized that there were phases. 81 00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:10,000 Certain like there were phases to a medit to meditate. And before that second meditation that I had today, I had never experienced past phase two of meditation. 82 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:21,000 And what I mean by the phases are that I felt like different sensations throughout the meditation and experienced different things. 83 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:34,000 They're hard to explain. You just have to feel it yourself and understand. And so there was let's say six phases. 84 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:43,000 And then I woke up from my meditation, which I believe was a very long meditation, maybe like 20 to 30, 40 minutes. 85 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:53,000 I don't know. We were at a park and we got home like two hours later than we're we used to where like we usually do. 86 00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:10,000 So that I slowly like woke up out of that meditation and slowly did certain things and then experienced sensations. 87 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:19,000 And that meditation, I learned a lot of things and I'm going to tell you all of them right now. 88 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:27,000 So first of all, we have to meditate to become a great trend or let me let me start with this. 89 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:34,000 Transurfing is the key to win at life. Transurfing is pretty much the what reality. 90 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:42,000 Transurfing teaches is to become a transfer and transfer is the key to win life. 91 00:17:42,000 --> 00:18:00,000 And I wanted to believe that before today, but today I really believe that now because today was the first experience that I had actual like a first actual experience that I had being a transfer. 92 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:06,000 And the second thing that I learned was that we have to meditate to become a great transfer for. 93 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:16,000 So let me explain that when I was reading the transfer in the second time through and I'm only on page like 60 out of 750. 94 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,000 So I'm not even close to dawn on my second read through. 95 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,000 I'm like just beginning. 96 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:32,000 So when I was reading the first couple chapters, this one concept kept coming up and I kept being intrigued by it and it's that we have choice. 97 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:40,000 And I knew of that concept the first three through, but I didn't really understand what he meant by that. 98 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:51,000 And now I do we have choice and we get to choose everything that we have. 99 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:55,000 And the way we do that is through our minds, our thoughts. 100 00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:03,000 So I can choose to be a millionaire or I can choose to work a nine to five for the rest of my life. 101 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:24,000 And I'm not really explaining this very well, but you will understand it once you meditate consistently and you learn transfer you learn transfer thing because choice is let me explain a story. 102 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:42,000 So before I would see a girl and then I would like stare or not stare, but like only if a pretty girl was nearby, I would just only think about her. 103 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:48,000 Even if I didn't even know her and she didn't know me, I would just only think about her and I'm sure a lot of people are like this. 104 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:58,000 And I was like that until a couple days ago and a couple days ago I realized that I can choose exactly what goes on in my mind. 105 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000 I can choose not to think about her. 106 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,000 I can choose to focus and think about my breath and stay present. 107 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:14,000 And so what happened was at the gym a couple days ago, there was a pretty girl and I kept on reminding myself, I have a choice. 108 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:29,000 I have a choice. And so I ended up only giving her maybe a minute of my energy total out of the 40, an hour that I was at the gym. 109 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:35,000 And then yesterday, same girl, same situation and I gave even less energy. 110 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:46,000 And this morning, same girl, same situation and I gave less than a second of energy. The second I realized that she was there, I did not give any energy. 111 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,000 And that's huge. That's choice pretty much. 112 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000 Choice is what happens in your mind. 113 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000 A lot of people think and I was the same way until literally like five days ago. 114 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:15,000 A lot of people think that they don't have choice, but the way you get choices by gaining control over your mind and just focusing on what is going on in your mind, what you're thinking about, what just everything in your mind pretty much. 115 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:25,000 Just be critical of your mind and you'll gain choice. 116 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:35,000 And so what I mean by meditate to become a great transfer for if we know that we get choice by having control over our mind. 117 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,000 Well, how do you get control of your mind? 118 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:51,000 You meditate meditation clears your mind and it basically trains your brain to stay more focused and being more controlled. 119 00:21:51,000 --> 00:22:03,000 If you guys notice that tick tock trains your mind to be scattered and you can't really control it, it trains your mind to not be in control. 120 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,000 But meditation trains the opposite. 121 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:14,000 It trains your mind to stay in control and stay awake and stay focused and stay clear. 122 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:27,000 So if we can stay clear, then we can control our mind and then if we can control our mind, we gain choice and then we basically win at life because we can choose whatever we want. 123 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:32,000 And you guys may be skeptical now, but guess what? 124 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:43,000 I'm going to be, I'm choosing to be a millionaire and hopefully by the time, well, definitely by the time people start actually coming back and listening to my older episodes. 125 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:53,000 They'll be able to see that this guy is not a millionaire, but he chose to be a millionaire and now he's a millionaire because you guys, you guys will be listening in the future when I'm actually a millionaire. 126 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000 So you'll know how I ended up. 127 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000 And that's a huge thing, choice. 128 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,000 And I just deconstructed something that I did not learn in Transurfing. 129 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:08,000 I learned from Transurfing, but in combination with other stuff too. 130 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:15,000 So meditate to become a great Transurfer is one of the big lessons. 131 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:26,000 Another lesson that I learned was I learned this before when I was rereading the Transurfing. 132 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:33,000 And there was one statement that he said that stuck with me and it's every moment that I spend practicing Transurfing. 133 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,000 I'm conscious, I'm consciously getting closer to my goals. 134 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:43,000 So if you think about that, every single time you are practicing your Transurfing techniques. 135 00:23:43,000 --> 00:24:02,000 So anytime you're present, anytime you think about your side, anytime you just do all that, anytime you practice the Transurfing techniques, anytime you're happy, anytime, literally anytime you follow any principle in Transurfing, you are consciously moving towards your goals. 136 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:13,000 So that's what I learned during my meditation because that sign happened, which would have only happened because I meditated. 137 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,000 And then the second time I meditated, a huge... 138 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,000 I didn't see it because I didn't have my eyes open, but I could hear it. 139 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,000 And this never happens in the area that we were at. 140 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000 An extremely loud plane flew by over our heads. 141 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,000 And maybe I'm just picking situations, but that never happened. 142 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:43,000 We've been going to that park for all of summer break. 143 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,000 And we've lived here, we live here all of our lives. 144 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:52,000 So we know what goes on and that has never happened to us before. 145 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:58,000 So that's another sign and that just shows that we are consciously moving towards our goals. 146 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:04,000 So that statement is true because we were practicing Transurfing techniques. 147 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:10,000 Because towards the end of our meditation, once we were super deep, we would... 148 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:18,000 During our meditation, we would just focus on our breath, but once we were in the sixth phase that I talked about of meditation, 149 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,000 we would play our slides in our mind, which our slides are pretty much just our goals. 150 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:28,000 And we would just imagine ourselves living the life. 151 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:31,000 So for me, I was imagining myself surfing. 152 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000 And that was an awesome feeling. 153 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,000 And then I also imagined myself on a beach, just laying there. 154 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:50,000 And it was pretty easy to imagine because the sun was beating on me physically in the material world. 155 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:56,000 And I was laying on the ground. And so it was pretty easy to imagine that too. 156 00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:03,000 And I think that it has the most power, like visualization has the most power when you're deep into meditation. 157 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,000 Like the sixth phase that I talk about. 158 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,000 I don't actually know if there's six phases, I just made that up. 159 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:16,000 But I think that there are phases to meditation. 160 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:32,000 So that is that goal, that lesson that we learned, that every moment we spend practicing transurfing techniques, 161 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:39,000 I am consciously getting closer to my goals. So that's that lesson. 162 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:49,000 And another lesson that I learned was something that I kind of came up as a, coming up of today. 163 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,000 And it's called the test. I call it the test. 164 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:59,000 And it's, if you've ever meditated, you might like get into your meditation position. 165 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:05,000 And you might feel like an itch or like the urge to itch something. 166 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,000 And then once you itch that, like four more itches pop up. So you're just moving constantly. 167 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,000 And then before you know it, you just become jittery and then not wanting to meditate. 168 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:23,000 So I was conscious of that over the past couple of days when I realized that that was a thing. 169 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:33,000 And then today, during my meditation, I kind of became aware of what that was and what it was meant for. 170 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:38,000 And I'll tell you how I discovered that. 171 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:44,000 So I was deep in my meditation. This was the first meditation I kind of like grew. 172 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:52,000 Well, actually this was the first meditation when I discovered it, that I happened today. 173 00:27:52,000 --> 00:28:00,000 I was laying in the grass and like bugs and ants were crawling all over my body. 174 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:09,000 And I wanted to get up and like kick them off, like flick them off of my body and like itch. 175 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:18,000 And like a bunch of itches would pop up. But I realized that if I just ignored it, then I was able to meditate. 176 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:28,000 And so I realized that it was like a test because if I failed the test, then I wouldn't be able to meditate. 177 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:35,000 If I passed it, then I would be able to meditate and I'd be able to meditate deeply. 178 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:40,000 And pretty much every single time I meditate, I've been tested. 179 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:47,000 So you guys probably will be tested too. And just ignore the test. 180 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:56,000 And also while I was writing down the lessons that I learned, because I instantly went home and then wrote down the lessons that I learned. 181 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:05,000 So I wouldn't like lose them. And I realized that while I was writing it down, I was kind of in the zone when I was writing it down. 182 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:16,000 So I wrote down ignore the test while meditating. And then I wrote down an extra part that I didn't learn at the park. 183 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:22,000 And then I said, and even in life. And then I pointed in the arrow saying whatever that means. 184 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:27,000 Because I don't really know what that means yet, but I will learn what that means and I'll share it with you. 185 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:34,000 But I think it means that there are small tests like nuisances. So let's go back to the meditating example. 186 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:39,000 When you're meditating, there's like an itch. It's just a nuisance. It's just like a little thing. 187 00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:43,000 And then if you try and itch it, then even more pop up. 188 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:57,000 So maybe that itch is just a pendulum. And in Transurfing, he explains pendulums. And pendulums are basically things that take away your energy. 189 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:09,000 That's the quickest way to explain it. But what if those itches are pendulums? And then if we ignore that test, 190 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:16,000 but then we also have to ignore the test in real life. And real life would be pendulums also as well. 191 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:24,000 So I'll let you guys know as I learn more about that second part of the lesson that I learned. 192 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:30,000 But the first part is ignore the test while meditating and you'll be successful meditating. 193 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:40,000 So just ignore the itch. And that's why before I would meditate sitting like crisscross applesauce in the classic meditation position. 194 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:47,000 But now I'm going to start meditating laying on my back because then I can be fully relaxed. 195 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:54,000 And I don't think that I would have been able to get in such a deep meditation if I was sitting up because then my muscles would have gotten tired. 196 00:30:54,000 --> 00:31:01,000 I would have started aching and all that. But when you're just laying down, there's really no excuse. 197 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:08,000 You can just lay there and then you just have to ignore the tests and then you'll be able to meditate. 198 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:17,000 And the more you meditate, the more you practice at it, the easier it'll get and the less difficult, 199 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:26,000 the more awake you'll be and the more efficient your meditations will be. 200 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:32,000 And the last lesson that I learned today was that the world isn't mirror. 201 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:46,000 And I knew that before because I was reading Transurfing and that's one of the big premises is the world reflects how you think of it. 202 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:56,000 So if you hate the world and hate everything about it, well then the world will give you all the things that you hate and it will just keep on sucking for you pretty much. 203 00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:05,000 Because it reflects back to you. But if you love the world and love everything about it, your life will just get better and better and better. 204 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:13,000 Even if you live in a dump right now and you love it and you just begin to love it, love everything about your life and then be grateful, 205 00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:20,000 your condition, your situation will get better and better. 206 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:31,000 But the real lesson, like the lesson that I learned today was that the world is a mirror and become independent to become independent. 207 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:37,000 And I learned this, I'll explain what that means through a story. 208 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:45,000 So once we were done with the second meditation, me and my friend were discussing all the lessons that we just learned. 209 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:51,000 And we were just talking about the lessons that I just shared with you just now. 210 00:32:51,000 --> 00:33:04,000 And then one thing that my friend said was that he was talking about how, because I said that we should love everything about our life 211 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,000 and because then it will change. 212 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:18,000 And he said that he wanted to become independent because that is something that he needs and loves and wants really bad. 213 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:22,000 And he wants to become independent from his parents. So that's why he's working on the business. 214 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:28,000 And that's the same with me too. We're both working on the business so we can become independent and live our own lives. 215 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:36,000 And I kind of responded, I was in the zone. I was speaking through the alternative flow, which is another term in the 216 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:42,000 Transurfing, the alternative flow is pretty much everything that exists. 217 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,000 It's kind of like what powers being in the zone, like how athletes are in the zone. 218 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,000 The alternative flow kind of powers that. 219 00:33:50,000 --> 00:34:03,000 But I was speaking through the alternative flow and what I said to him was that 220 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,000 what if we're choosing to stay dependent? 221 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:16,000 What if the fact that we feel dependent is holding us back from becoming independent? 222 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:28,000 Because since the world is a mirror and we feel dependent with our parents on a mental and alternative standpoint, 223 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:36,000 like our mental standpoint, that's preventing us from moving from changing our lifelines into lifelines where we're independent 224 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:43,000 because the world's mirror so it'll show or it'll give us more lifelines that where we are dependent. 225 00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:50,000 And by the way, a lifeline is pretty much like your path in life and there are infinite paths. 226 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:56,000 And the lifeline is inside of the alternative flow and there are infinite, 227 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:02,000 since the alternative flow has everything that ever is, will or was and will be, 228 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:10,000 then there are infinite paths for you and you can choose whatever path you want. 229 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:18,000 And so back to what I was saying is since we're choosing to feel dependent in the mental aspect, 230 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:23,000 that is keeping us dependent on the material aspect. 231 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:29,000 Since the world is a mirror and your thoughts turn like manifest into reality, 232 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:45,000 we came to the conclusion that first before we do anything we must become independent mentally. 233 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:50,000 So we must become independent mentally, whatever that means. 234 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:54,000 I'm still learning what that means and I'm learning along with you guys. 235 00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:59,000 I think what it means is actually I think it means a lot more than this, 236 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:07,000 but one of the entry level concepts that I came up with is that we have to stop asking for help. 237 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:13,000 But I don't know because asking for help is a good thing and I don't know. 238 00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:19,000 I'll keep you guys updated on that, but I hope you guys catch what I'm pick-drop putting down. 239 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:26,000 We have to become independent mentally so that we can induce shifts to new lifelines 240 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:32,000 where we are independent in real life, in the material world. 241 00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,000 And that's the mirror. 242 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,000 Once we feel independent we will be independent. 243 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:45,000 So that's another thing that we realized that was holding us back, another piece of the mental game. 244 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:55,000 And I'm discovering more and more limiting beliefs but also just concepts that I've been holding on to all my life 245 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,000 that are holding us back. 246 00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:00,000 The more I'm learning about Transurfing and the more I'm meditating. 247 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:06,000 And the thing is that Transurfing, I don't think Transurfing really talks about meditating that much, 248 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:13,000 but meditating in combination with Transurfing is one of the most powerful things that I've ever done. 249 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:20,000 And I've been meditating consistently for the past maybe 20 days, maybe a month, I don't know. 250 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:28,000 And I started rereading Transurfing maybe the last week, maybe the past week. 251 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:34,000 And I didn't really understand the combination of the two until today. 252 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,000 And maybe I don't even understand it. 253 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000 Maybe I'm just at the entry level. 254 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:42,000 Just like what I said about our base happiness level. 255 00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:46,000 Every time we meditate and culminate Transurfing like that, like how I did. 256 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:54,000 And just come out of the meditation with an immense thing of gratitude and a great feeling. 257 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:58,000 And maybe every single time we do that, we learn more and more. 258 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:02,000 And as we're studying and applying more and more of the Transurfing, 259 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:09,000 we learn more and more and then our baseline of understanding and knowledge of Transurfing 260 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:14,000 is our baseline of habits, our baseline of happiness, our baseline of wealth, physical wealth, 261 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:18,000 all the good, our baseline goes higher and higher and higher 262 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:24,000 until eventually we become as good as, I don't think we'll ever be as good as we can get 263 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:33,000 because there's always something to improve on, but eventually like our baseline will be higher than our current peak right now. 264 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:41,000 And then that means that our peak will be higher. It's the whole thing if you can really understand what I'm saying 265 00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,000 and like contextualize what I'm saying. 266 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:53,000 So those are the two things that we need to be doing because all of these lessons stemmed from two things that I've been doing. 267 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:58,000 One is studying Transurfing. Two is meditating. 268 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:04,000 And then all of these lessons that I learned today stemmed from those two things that I've been doing. 269 00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:13,000 And let me tell you, I never really studied my books until I think yesterday or two days ago. 270 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:16,000 No, it was yesterday. 271 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:24,000 Two days ago, I ordered notebooks because two days ago I was at the park with my friend and we were talking 272 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:33,000 and then I realized that there was something that we should do and it was that we should write down. 273 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,000 I'll explain the whole thing. So, but let me tell the story first. 274 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,000 So we were at the park and we realized this thing. 275 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:49,000 So then I ordered three notebooks because right now I'm reading, I'm only letting myself read Russell Brunson's books and reality Transurfing. 276 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:55,000 So I'm only reading three books because I only chose two of Russell Brunson's books to read. 277 00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,000 So I'm reading expertsecrets.comsecrets and realityTransurfing. 278 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,000 And that's all I'm reading for the near future. I'm just going to reread them all again. 279 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:10,000 But right now I'm just reading expert secrets in the morning and realityTransurfing at night. 280 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:18,000 And I started writing notes in my book, but then we were at the park and we were talking about that. 281 00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:30,000 And I realized that we should be writing notes in a notebook and just writing, explaining a lot of different important concepts and things to remember. 282 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:38,000 And then also writing down pieces of things like stories that happened throughout the day. 283 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:43,000 So for example, I was reading realityTransurfing and I wrote down, we should savor. 284 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:51,000 We need to savor every single piece of good news and happiness that happens to us. 285 00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:59,000 And like savor that for a while and not just forget about the good news and then go right back into the monotony of life. 286 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:07,000 And so I wrote all that down and then started reading Transurfing again because I would read and then write down stuff, read, write down stuff. 287 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,000 I don't really have a structure to it. 288 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:19,000 I just basically rewrite and explain a lot of different things and in expert secrets I draw pictures because I think that helps me to remember concepts. 289 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:35,000 And after I wrote down that thing of to savor good pieces of information, my sister interrupted me while I was reading and offered me a mango that she already cut. 290 00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:47,000 And unfortunately it's after four o'clock so I declined because I don't eat after four o'clock because it's bad for your sleep. 291 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:53,000 But, oh, I almost saw that one. 292 00:41:53,000 --> 00:42:07,000 And then after I declined I just quickly went back to my book but then I remembered that we should savor all the good news that we received. 293 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:17,000 So then I spent like maybe a minute just thinking about how that made me feel, contemplating the feelings and just feeling really happy and feeling good about myself. 294 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:29,000 And that's the power of writing down notes because I don't think that I would have really, my understanding on all these books, 295 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:35,000 well, if when I'm studying them is so much better than when I am just reading them. 296 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:46,000 And what I mean by study is actually having a dedicated notebook to each book and writing down the date, what page you're on, and then just starting reading and writing. 297 00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:51,000 I only write the pages I start with at that day so I know the general area. 298 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:56,000 And then I just keep writing down pieces of information that I need to know. 299 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:05,000 I don't really have a structure to it but I recommend it, 100%. 300 00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:24,000 And that's the thing that I recommend studying and I study two times a day and two separate books because I want to learn a lot about business and just all the stuff that Russell Branson talks about. 301 00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:32,000 I want to learn all that stuff but I also want to learn about reality, transfer, and more. 302 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:52,000 Because, and I found that I have learned way more and I got way more value out of my time by actively learning and rewriting and explaining and describing and sharing stories that happen in my day that relates to this. 303 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:59,000 All of the stuff while I'm reading, I do all that in a notebook while I'm reading each book. 304 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:18,000 And I found that that's extremely, extremely powerful because the past two days I've were more valuable and efficient and I learned more in the past two days than the past week of passively reading my books. 305 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:32,000 And one thing is that once I'm done with my, I just started this today, once I'm done with my study time, I meditate. 306 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:47,000 And I'll explain why I do this and it's because there was a person who won some, I don't really know all the specifics of this but there was a person who won like a very prestigious academic award. 307 00:44:47,000 --> 00:45:05,000 For his advancements in learning and he was able to learn and teach some crazy complicated topics to like fourth graders. 308 00:45:05,000 --> 00:45:12,000 Some like quantum physics like complicated topics like crazy complicated topics to like fourth graders. 309 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:30,000 And he that he like his method of learning was to learn for like 30 minutes, learn actively by writing down all that stuff. 310 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:46,000 And then he would take like five minute break and when he was at that five minute break, he would do absolutely nothing. He would literally just go on a walk or just something that did not simulate his brain. 311 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:54,000 So tick tock and going on the phone does not count. You have to like go outside and just sit in nature. 312 00:45:54,000 --> 00:46:04,000 And so I just interpreted when I learned that I thought instantly meditation would be the best. 313 00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:13,000 He didn't say like in the podcast that I heard this on, he didn't say meditation, but he I thought of that instantly. 314 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:19,000 And so once he does that five minute break, he goes back and learns more and then he does another five minute break. 315 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:26,000 So he alternates 30 minutes on five minutes off and then he does that for like three cycles. 316 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:35,000 And then on the five minute break, he actually explains what he learned to another person. 317 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:42,000 And then if he can't explain a certain part, he realizes that he doesn't actually understand that certain part. 318 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:49,000 So then that's what he has to study on his next 30 minute session. 319 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:59,000 And so while I don't actually explain all the stuff that I learned to another person, I do follow the 30 minutes on and five minutes off. 320 00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:04,000 But I changed it up a little bit to be better for me. 321 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:13,000 And I do maybe like I set a timer for 30 minutes and then depending on where I'm at, I go a little bit longer or cut it there. 322 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:25,000 Because I like to end my reading at the end of a chapter or the end of like a subsection like the sections that have a heading. 323 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:33,000 You know how in chapters there's like the chapter title, but then there's like the other titles that are like subheadings to start paragraphs. 324 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,000 Like new sections of paragraphs. 325 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:42,000 So I like to end either at a chapter or a subheading section. 326 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,000 And so I do that. 327 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:51,000 And then once I finished, I just do like a 10 minute meditation. 328 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:56,000 And that just like absorbs all of the knowledge into my brain. 329 00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:04,000 Because if you learn about sleeping, I learned all this stuff in a book called Why We Sleep. 330 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,000 And the rent, there's two phases. 331 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:12,000 There's two parts of your sleep, non-rem and rem. 332 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,000 And they have like different sections inside of it. 333 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:25,000 Or rem has like five or six sections inside of it, like namra and one, namra and two, or normal rem. 334 00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,000 One, two, like three, four. 335 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:32,000 And rem is sleeping and non-rem is like deep sleep where you don't really remember it. 336 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,000 Where you do not remember it. 337 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,000 You're not sleeping. 338 00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,000 Rem is dreaming. 339 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:51,000 And if you, so when you're asleep or when you're awake, let's start with when you're awake and you're learning new information. 340 00:48:51,000 --> 00:49:04,000 And all that information is sent to a part of your brain that is the, it's the information, it's like the short term information storage site. 341 00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:15,000 And then once you fall asleep and you're in the non-rem phase, that information gets transferred over to the long term storage phase. 342 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:29,000 And then when you're in the rem sleep, all of your, all that new information gets like interconnected and connections are made with your, within your current information database. 343 00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:34,000 And it's pretty much added to your web of knowledge. 344 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:45,000 So why I instantly thought of meditation once I listened to that podcast is that is because it just makes sense. 345 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:55,000 If the purpose of the five minute break is to, is to like remember and strengthen the, your knowledge. 346 00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:08,000 Well, the non-rem part of your non-rem part of your sleep puts it into the long, long term storage. 347 00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:09,000 So meditate. 348 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:20,000 And if we're doing nothing, then it slowly, it also converts it to long term storage, but just at a slower rate than non-rem sleep does. 349 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:27,000 Then meditation will do it at a quicker rate than just doing nothing, but a slower rate than the non-rem sleep. 350 00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:31,000 So meditation may be the most optimal in that case. 351 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:42,000 And the reason why I tell you that whole thing is one so you can see that is one so you can meditate after you're done studying. 352 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:58,000 But also because I want you to see the value of reading books, even reading the science parts, because there's a lot of science stuff that I would not that I would have skipped. 353 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:03,000 But I only also realized that it could be useful in my future. 354 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,000 So I always read it. 355 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:08,000 I always read the science pieces in my books. 356 00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:16,000 I didn't just skip straight to the practical stuff because then I wouldn't have this ability to connect it to that other thing. 357 00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:22,000 Just like it's funny because I'm connecting it to that knowledge that I learned in the sleep. 358 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:28,000 But it's also kind of like an analogy or a metaphor to non-rem. 359 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:37,000 So it's like a metaphor inside of a metaphor because or to REM, I'm sorry, because REM sleep interconnects all the things. 360 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:46,000 And it's... I don't know if you're picking up what I'm putting down, but that's the whole deal with all that. 361 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:54,000 Read the science parts also as well because they're just as valuable. 362 00:51:54,000 --> 00:52:04,000 Alright, well, to wrap things up, don't forget to download your favorite episodes and subscribe to the Ascend Momentum show. 363 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:10,000 But before you guys leave, make sure to remember the Eagles.
