You've done the meditations. You've interviewed the masters. You've read the books, done the breath work, and had the downloads. So why, the moment someone walks into your office, do you fall right back into ego like none of it ever happened?

That's exactly where Will found himself after a one-on-one with a big boss that did not go the way his higher self intended. And instead of quietly processing it alone, he brought it straight to the live show, to Karen, and to all of you.

In this bonus live episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, Will and Karen get raw about the gap between knowing better and actually doing better. They dig into what it really means to have workplace PTSD, what a "belief that no longer serves you" actually looks and feels like in the body, and why the spiritual work doesn't make you immune to the ego... it just changes how long it takes you to recover.

But this episode isn't only about the stumbles. Karen shares a story about a paperclip that appeared on the stairs at exactly the right moment, and what it says about the miracles hiding in plain sight every single day. Plus, a healing story involving a blessing from a woman named Dahryn Trivedi that made a year and a half of knee pain vanish overnight.

There's also a behind-the-scenes moment that long-time listeners won't want to miss. the real reason Will and Karen almost shut down The Skeptic Metaphysicians for good, and the one Apple review that changed everything.

If you've ever thought you were further along on your path than a single Tuesday afternoon can apparently confirm, this one is for you.

The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door. Each episode explores consciousness expansion, enlightenment, soul purpose, and soul growth through honest, grounded conversation with leading voices in metaphysics, psychic phenomenon, quantum healing, and beyond.

We dive deep into spiritual awakening, ascension, alignment, and the awakening process without the dogma. From mediumship and spirit guides to Arcturian contact, astrology, and the subconscious mind, we explore it all with curiosity, humor, and zero guru worship.

Whether you're in the middle of your own awakening, questioning reality, or just spiritually curious, this is the podcast for seekers and skeptics alike.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:12,880
My name is Will and I'm Karen and unlike Moldor and Scully, we've talked to people deeply

2
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,240
entrenched in the spiritual and metaphysical world.

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,120
We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences.

4
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,920
I even joined a Covenant witch's and wait, you joined a Covenant?

5
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,560
Yep, all in the interest of fighting something that will prove that there's something beyond

6
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,360
this physical, three-dimensional world we all live in.

7
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,360
This is the Skeptic Metaphysicians.

8
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:45,920
Hey there, welcome back to the Skeptic Metaphysicians live, the show where we can prove that you

9
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:50,160
don't have to do metaphysics without wearing uniforms.

10
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:51,160
What?

11
00:00:51,160 --> 00:00:52,760
I'm glad that you got the memo.

12
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:53,760
You wore the uniform.

13
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:54,760
Oh!

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,760
The requisite uniform for the Skeptic Metaphysicians today.

15
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,760
It was red day.

16
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:58,760
It was red day.

17
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,760
It was red day.

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,760
It was red day.

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:02,760
I'm excited to be here with you today, Karen.

20
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:03,760
I'm excited to be here with you today.

21
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:04,760
Are you?

22
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:05,760
Today and every day.

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,760
And every day.

24
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:07,760
I'm excited to be here with you.

25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,800
We are especially excited to be here with you.

26
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:15,000
The question is, will you be here with us?

27
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,000
That's the big question.

28
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:28,720
Today we're going to be talking a lot about ego and shadow work and enlightenment.

29
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:29,720
And all kinds of things.

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,200
So, if you have any questions by all means, please don't hesitate to put those questions in

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,200
the chat.

32
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,520
We'll be happy to answer any questions that you have for us.

33
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,120
We may or may not be right, but we will answer.

34
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,120
We will.

35
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,120
Some sort of answer.

36
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,120
There will be an answer.

37
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,120
Yeah, that is for sure.

38
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,320
Now, I need to find, because we're trying out a new system that we're no longer in a

39
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:49,320
typical place.

40
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,480
We have a different streamer that we're trying out today.

41
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,680
And we want to welcome those of you watching us on Substack.

42
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,680
It's nice to be connected with you.

43
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,960
I know we are very fancy, but we're trying a new system.

44
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,480
So please bear with us as we work out the kinks and the bugs and all those things, because

45
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,480
we're bound to have a hook up.

46
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,480
I'm getting my workout into today.

47
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:12,480
Thank God.

48
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:13,480
I think you're working out.

49
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,480
You said we're working out.

50
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,480
Pickups and bugs.

51
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,480
Yes.

52
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,880
And she says, I have a bad joke.

53
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,080
Well, you do.

54
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:26,920
On top of that, we've also experiencing some very challenging internet connections today.

55
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:30,280
I had an interview earlier with Carrie Helmingberg from the reality TV.

56
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,480
She is a creator of medicine woman and the Soul Nectar Show.

57
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,760
And we had to end it halfway, because my internet just dropped out.

58
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,480
So if we disappear all of a sudden, you know why?

59
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:42,640
It's not that we don't love you.

60
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:43,640
We do.

61
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:45,840
It's just our internet doesn't.

62
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,080
All right.

63
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:52,080
So I want to first put this up here so that you know what you're watching, because I know

64
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,680
you might have a lot of question marks about what it is you're watching.

65
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,640
If you just kind of stumbled on us, we are the skeptic musicians live.

66
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:03,320
We do this every second Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. Eastern time.

67
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,880
We love getting audience questions and comments.

68
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,280
So if you are out there and you want to say hello, we would love to hear from you.

69
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:17,960
Meanwhile, in case you didn't know who we were, we are well, Karen and Will.

70
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,160
In opposite seats today.

71
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,920
So we are the host of the skeptic musicians.

72
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:27,200
If you don't know us, you should definitely look us up on your favorite podcasting platform.

73
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,720
And before we go any further, I need to double check to make sure that we are actually going

74
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:33,720
live.

75
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,240
Then I'm not just talking to myself because I'm here.

76
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,760
I mean, talking to me.

77
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:38,760
Yes.

78
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,600
Well, there's no one more important to speak to.

79
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,680
But we wouldn't be here.

80
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:44,680
It would be somewhere else.

81
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,240
Let me see if I can't find it where we would be.

82
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,680
Anyway, Karen, tell me about your day.

83
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,600
It was a beautiful day today.

84
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,600
It was.

85
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:03,120
I got to be healthy and drive to work in the sunshine and my little space heaters working

86
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,120
at the office.

87
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,000
So even though it's summer and 80 whatever degrees, I still had it on because it's the tundra

88
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000
in there.

89
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Really?

90
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,640
Got to have a few meetings, interactive people, which is great because sometimes I'm just sitting

91
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,160
there in front of my little computer and it gets lonely.

92
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:17,160
So it's a good day.

93
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,680
Well, I'm glad you had a good day.

94
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,680
I should probably get rid of our names because right now everybody knows who we are.

95
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,480
But I think that that was all right.

96
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:26,480
Yes.

97
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,480
That was all right.

98
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,200
So if you have any questions, please feel free to put them in the chat and we will add them

99
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,720
to the stream as we go.

100
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,360
Sorry, we need to be.

101
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,360
We are.

102
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,360
Yeah.

103
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:36,360
You can see it.

104
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:37,760
We're a little bit of a delay, but we're good.

105
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:43,400
So Karen, I specifically want to talk today about ego.

106
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,280
Before we sat down to talk, I go live.

107
00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:52,640
You asked me how my day was today and I said, you did.

108
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:58,080
And that is because some big bosses are in the office this week and I had a one-on-one

109
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,280
with the big, big boss today.

110
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:06,960
And I, well, I didn't really like how the conversation went.

111
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,360
She's lovely.

112
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,760
I just seem to be stuck.

113
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:19,000
So to give some context, a little while ago, I started this job specifically about 14 years

114
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000
ago.

115
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,840
And I had a lot of responsibilities a lot of responsibilities.

116
00:05:24,840 --> 00:05:27,240
And I loved it.

117
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,160
Over time things have changed and now we're in a really weird place.

118
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,440
We've had to reorganize about four times and every time it's been kind of a kick into

119
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:35,800
teeth.

120
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,640
And every time you turn around, there's another kick into teeth.

121
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:45,920
And I've really leaned into my spiritual practice to keep myself in a good headspace.

122
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,120
And for the most part, I do well, except when I talk to people in the office.

123
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,440
For some reason.

124
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,640
And it's usually when it's someone in leadership position in the office, I find myself falling

125
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,040
back into victim mode.

126
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,040
I fall myself.

127
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:07,520
I see myself falling back into ego and I don't understand why.

128
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,280
And it's just so easy for me to say, everything is going wonderfully.

129
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,480
Thank you for asking.

130
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Well, I think you've got a little PTSD at that location because there has been a lot.

131
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,280
You've gone through a lot of stuff.

132
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:31,000
And it went from this big organization where you had a really active involvement to you.

133
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,960
Yeah, I don't doubt it.

134
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,160
I don't doubt that I have PTSD.

135
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,360
But isn't the spiritual practice?

136
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:45,400
The whole reason you're doing it is to get over things like PTSD, to rise beyond the physical

137
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:51,360
ego needs, the responses, that need your responses that we have every once in a while, and somebody

138
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,160
kind of frauds our way that way.

139
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,840
Well, yes, but you have to realize it's happening because if you weren't in that situation,

140
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:00,800
or someone was talking to you about work in the meetings, you wouldn't have realized

141
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,800
that you had PTSD.

142
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:08,160
Well, yes, but I didn't realize that I was acting from ego until it was over.

143
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:14,240
The minute she walked out door my office, I went, "Oh, God, why did I do that?

144
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,240
Why did I say that?

145
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:20,400
Why did I continue down that path that serves nobody?

146
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:21,400
Especially not me."

147
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,280
Well, it's a familiar path.

148
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,280
You know, if you spent most of your life living one way and then even the last ten years,

149
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:33,000
you start changing things, you still have a few more years than that.

150
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,200
Yeah, but you think you've gotten to a certain level.

151
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:40,960
You've done all the practices and you've done all the interviews and you've met all the

152
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,960
people.

153
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,200
You do the breath-bred practices and meditations every single day.

154
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,360
And you think you feel like you're in a good place and all of a sudden without you realizing

155
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,840
it, you fall right back into ego without realizing it.

156
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:59,920
I could not have fared worse, I don't think.

157
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:01,240
I mean, I guess I could have.

158
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,040
I could have gotten fired on the other spot, but it didn't.

159
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,560
It was actually, it was a lovely conversation.

160
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:13,880
It's just one that I'm sure she walked out of my office going, "Whoo, this guy is a victim.

161
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,560
It's not a winner."

162
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,960
I'm going to have to hear the details of that conversation.

163
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,960
I don't know that there's really...

164
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,280
They need to hear the details.

165
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,000
I need to hear the details.

166
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,280
So I guess the reason why I'm bringing it up, Karen, is because I'm sure there's a lot of

167
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,440
people out there that feel the same way, that they've worked so hard to get to a certain

168
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,440
level.

169
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:39,320
They feel like they are, yes, they finally reach their enlightenment stage, only to find

170
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:46,280
themselves all within just a flip of a switch right back into the 3D world, reacting in

171
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:53,640
ways that are triggering and not from the perspective of everything is working for you, not against

172
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:54,640
you.

173
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:02,920
So, how would you counsel someone that came to you with that kind of question, that problem?

174
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,840
Well, I think I would say it's kind of like working out your spirit.

175
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,680
It's kind of like working out your body.

176
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:12,520
I mean, back in the day, I would go to the gym sometimes two or three times a day and

177
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:18,600
I was eating healthy and I was great shape, but if you stop that and you're starting eating

178
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,320
the crap or whatever, you're going to gain the weight back.

179
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:26,640
So just because you did it all right at one point doesn't mean you're not going to have

180
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,840
a slip up if you stop.

181
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,960
Are you not paying your attention to my weight?

182
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:33,960
Nope.

183
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:34,960
I feel attacked.

184
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,000
Actually, I said my weight.

185
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
I used to work out.

186
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,240
That's why I have this nice tall table.

187
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:41,240
Cover my belly.

188
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,840
Yeah, it works very nicely, actually, to cover mine.

189
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,720
Okay, so if you are out there, you're watching this or you're listening to this and you have

190
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:55,960
gone through something similar and you have some words of wisdom, I would be more than

191
00:09:55,960 --> 00:10:01,320
welcoming of them as would I'm sure everyone else out there who is listening or watching

192
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,320
this right now.

193
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,080
So, go ahead and put your experience in the chat.

194
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:11,200
We'd love to bring it up on camera and talk about it with you so that others can benefit

195
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:14,440
from your wisdom as well.

196
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:18,960
So, did you have an aha moment?

197
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:26,760
I did, but the aha moment was a harm still stuck.

198
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,240
And so do you know how to get unstuck?

199
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,040
No, that's why I'm asking.

200
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:32,760
Oh, well, are you asking?

201
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:33,760
Yes.

202
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,280
That's the whole reason I brought it up is because I ain't asking.

203
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:39,960
And are you asking me?

204
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,680
If you have the answer, I'd love to have it.

205
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:44,800
I don't have the answer.

206
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:45,800
I don't.

207
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:47,000
I think the answer is different for everyone.

208
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,280
I think that we all have, like we always say, we all are heading to the same direction taking

209
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,280
different paths.

210
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,680
So, something that's going to work for someone won't necessarily work for you.

211
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:59,920
And I think the fact that you realize that this is happening is actually a big part of

212
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:00,920
the answer.

213
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,520
I agree.

214
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,200
I'm sure that it is.

215
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,520
I think that every time that you run into a wall.

216
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,520
Yeah.

217
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,160
You have an opportunity to look at it and go, why?

218
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:20,080
And that's what I'm doing now right now on camera with a million of my closest friends.

219
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Or maybe you have the opportunity to say, is this really a wall?

220
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:31,360
Well, it's so, I believe it's a wall that I keep hitting that I am forgetting I'm going

221
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:37,920
to hit if I allow myself to act unconsciously again.

222
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:45,560
So, I'm getting into a point where really my practice is about being present, it's being

223
00:11:45,560 --> 00:11:52,400
in the moment and being aware of what is happening inside every moment that I'm going through

224
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:58,320
life and how I'm reacting to things and figuring out why and asking why am I reacting to them

225
00:11:58,320 --> 00:11:59,680
in this way?

226
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:04,240
What is it that is triggering me, this experience in me?

227
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,240
What is it?

228
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,240
Why?

229
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,240
And how can I make that not trigger?

230
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,960
Well, Brent Lloyd has an interesting comment that I can barely read from here, you're closer

231
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:17,480
so you got to read him.

232
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,080
Fred says, sounds like you might have a belief that no longer serves you is still in place.

233
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,080
Absolutely, Brett.

234
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,680
I 100% believe that is the case.

235
00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:30,120
I'm going to second, I should probably put that up on screen so others can see it too.

236
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:31,120
Yes, thank you.

237
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,520
Brett, thanks so much for the comment.

238
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:33,520
You're right.

239
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:38,560
Because there is a belief that is inside that I, I'm not sure what it is, that's what I'm

240
00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:39,560
trying to figure out.

241
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:40,560
What is it?

242
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,000
What belief is there in me?

243
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:53,040
I think it has to do with, like I said, ego, I think that it is a, I deserve better.

244
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,400
I have worked so hard for this company and you're treating me poorly and I need to let

245
00:12:58,400 --> 00:12:59,400
you know.

246
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,440
And I don't think, I honestly don't need to let anyone know.

247
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:08,040
Okay, so then that's very much in the 3D and ego depending on which way it sounds to me,

248
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,080
like ego, not just like the third, you know, our body's ego.

249
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:13,080
For sure.

250
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,080
For sure.

251
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:19,600
So maybe you feel like your ego should learn the lesson and you're blaming your physical

252
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,120
ego on that, but your spiritual one has not learned it yet.

253
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:24,120
I would think.

254
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,960
So it keeps putting you back into that same position.

255
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,040
I would posit, it's the opposite.

256
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:36,720
I believe that the spiritual part of me understands it intellectually, but when it, when it's confronted

257
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:44,640
with a situation that's similar, it reacts in a way that is very much rooted in the 3D,

258
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,400
in the physical, in the ego.

259
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,160
It just reacts as opposed to me saying, but what's reacting?

260
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,360
Your spirit or your ego?

261
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:53,360
My ego.

262
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,360
Right.

263
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,360
So that's what I'm talking about.

264
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:56,360
Okay.

265
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:57,760
And I guess we're saying the same thing, just different languages.

266
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,880
So for example, yesterday our daughter had a situation.

267
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:01,880
It was a situation.

268
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,000
It was a quite a situation.

269
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
And Brett, thank you so much for the comment.

270
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,840
Really appreciate it.

271
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:13,280
And we needed to find a way to make it better for her as her parents.

272
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Right.

273
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:18,720
So without going into too many details, our daughter had a...

274
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,720
We don't need to go into any details, I don't think.

275
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:23,720
No.

276
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:24,720
How would you explain it?

277
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,720
How would you talk about it then?

278
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:30,200
I would just say there was a situation with a...

279
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,920
The head player.

280
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:34,920
And we needed to...

281
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:35,920
Council.

282
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:36,920
Her.

283
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:37,920
Council her on that.

284
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,920
Right.

285
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,360
And so we were kind of stuck because it was a sticky situation.

286
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,480
And so we tried to council her the best we could.

287
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:49,760
And at the end of the day when we were lying in bed, it didn't sit right with us.

288
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:59,080
And so I actually opened myself up and said, "How should I council her?

289
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,480
What are the right words that she should use to respond to the situation?"

290
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,360
And before I even almost finished that thought, I had the answer.

291
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,000
And that was to come at it from love.

292
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,600
So there you go.

293
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,400
If you look at that situation and you look at this work situation and you think about

294
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,680
that we're all kind of working on our spirituality in this space.

295
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,160
Well, I mean, a lot of us are.

296
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:27,400
And I think maybe you're expecting because you do get these downloads, these messages,

297
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,400
or these...

298
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,880
You make these connections quite frequently.

299
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:36,600
I think you expect it all to be fixed.

300
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,680
And when something isn't fixed, I don't know if fixed does not the right word.

301
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:41,920
But you know what I'm trying to say.

302
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:42,920
Yeah.

303
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,920
I think you're right.

304
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:44,920
I think I'm falling into the unconscious.

305
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,000
On a day-to-day basis.

306
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,320
As hard as I'm trying to be present in the moment, I take it for granted.

307
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,200
And suddenly before I realize it, I'm no longer in the present.

308
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,760
I'm more in the unconscious, like I was in this meeting earlier today.

309
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:05,180
Well, I'm actually thinking that you're not giving yourself grace because of all of the

310
00:16:05,180 --> 00:16:09,120
steps and the changes that you've made and the growth that you've had and you're focusing

311
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,320
on one area where you haven't quite made that growth yet.

312
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,200
But then you're saying you could just purely hadn't even had the thought come out and already

313
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,200
you're getting the message.

314
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,200
Okay.

315
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,200
Yeah.

316
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:19,440
So let me clarify something.

317
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,320
I do know I've made huge strides.

318
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:24,600
I realize that.

319
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:32,080
And there are areas of my life that are far, far improved.

320
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:38,080
Where I'm getting frustrated is in the places that I really have worked the hardest in that

321
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:45,760
I'm still running into a problem that is in my career.

322
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:46,760
And I think you're right.

323
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:48,120
PTSD has a lot to do with it.

324
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:56,360
That I am being confronted with something that professionally hurts my ego and I respond

325
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,360
from ego.

326
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,520
Don't respond from love.

327
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:08,040
And it's love for myself that I'm not responding from.

328
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:15,360
Because the loving me after she walked out the door said all you need to do was say I'm grateful

329
00:17:15,360 --> 00:17:17,160
to have the job.

330
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,360
I'm grateful to be able to provide for my family.

331
00:17:19,360 --> 00:17:24,720
I'm grateful that we were able to have our insurance so we could pay for some pretty hefty

332
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,960
medical issues that we were had of late.

333
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,400
I'm very grateful that I'm one of those that isn't out there still looking for a job

334
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,080
after the latest round of layoffs.

335
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,080
I am.

336
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:38,800
I'm very grateful.

337
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,320
And yet I found myself saying, "Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

338
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:50,040
It looked to be funny when I did that, but I can't imagine why.

339
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:56,320
So you know, you just have to still work hard that maybe worked differently.

340
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,480
You know what I think I'm going to try adjusting off.

341
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,640
I'm going to try just off the Gary and Christie's manifestation event.

342
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:03,640
Oh.

343
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:05,040
I think that might be helpful.

344
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:06,040
That's a good idea.

345
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,040
That was a very good event for me.

346
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:08,040
It was very good.

347
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,040
So.

348
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,040
All right.

349
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,880
Anyway, that's really what I wanted to talk about.

350
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:20,880
At the end of the day, what I want you to get from this is that if you feel in the same

351
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:27,760
place you are in the going through the same things that I am going through, like what

352
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:30,120
Karen said, give yourself grace.

353
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:36,720
And lose your patience with yourself because after all we're all just human.

354
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,640
At the end of the day, we're here to experience the highs and the lows.

355
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:43,960
And we can't all be on a constant high all the time because how boring would that be?

356
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,960
Oh, yeah.

357
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:45,960
I don't know.

358
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,960
That would be so bad.

359
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,960
And yes, Will is professing that he is human.

360
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,600
No, I don't think you can prove that.

361
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:55,600
I'm sorry.

362
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,840
I have to rewind the tape and see if I...

363
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,080
I don't think I ever said I was human.

364
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,280
But and yet you are.

365
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,280
You are.

366
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:05,560
You got the poke test.

367
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:06,560
Yeah.

368
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:07,560
Yeah.

369
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:08,560
All right.

370
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:09,560
So, so how about this?

371
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,160
Any miracles today?

372
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:17,160
Aside from the 333s and things like that, nothing of the...

373
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,600
I mean, the miracle is that we woke up.

374
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,600
The begin with.

375
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,600
Well, that's true.

376
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:21,600
That's the first miracle that we woke up.

377
00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,760
Second miracles, I woke up and you were still there.

378
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,640
That was a big miracle.

379
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:34,960
And another miracle was that the girl had no weird confrontations or anything happen.

380
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,120
That's true.

381
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:38,720
What about with you?

382
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:44,840
See, now we talked about taking little coincidences that you see in life and thinking of them

383
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,840
as miracles.

384
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,360
So, and it's kind of funny because I was looking for a pen all over earlier, or just a few

385
00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:51,360
minutes ago.

386
00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:52,360
This has to do with a pen.

387
00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:56,920
And I was in a meeting and I had all these paperwork and I had to sit with this lady

388
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,880
and kind of show her all the stuff that I looked at for her.

389
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:01,880
And I'm like, "I need a pen."

390
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,080
And she's like, "I need a pen too."

391
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,000
And she opened up her drawer and there was the pen.

392
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Nothing else in the drawer.

393
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,800
She's like, "I wonder what's in this drawer because she hasn't even moved into the office

394
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:11,800
yet."

395
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,800
And there was the pen.

396
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:13,800
Wow.

397
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:14,800
That's what a little miracle.

398
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,360
Yeah, it was kind of weird because she hasn't moved in yet.

399
00:20:18,360 --> 00:20:22,640
So, just a computer and a pen.

400
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,240
But that's been happening to you a lot lately.

401
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:25,240
A lot, yeah.

402
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,960
Like finding paperclips when you need them without realizing them.

403
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,480
Yes, that was very weird.

404
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,960
I apparently office supplies are my connection to God.

405
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:33,960
Yes.

406
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:41,240
So, the paperclips story was, this is, it's a little personal talking about undergarments,

407
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:44,240
but so it's a little undergarment among friends.

408
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,240
I know, right.

409
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,640
If you're a woman and you like to wear racer back t-shirts or the ones that went to the

410
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,040
back kind of goes like this, it doesn't work with a regular bra.

411
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:52,040
Thank you for cracking right.

412
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,440
And most people would either put on a strapless bra or get one that crosses in the back.

413
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:01,280
I, however, am too lazy to be smart that way.

414
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,000
So, I've learned that you can grab a paperclip and you just quickly stick it through one strap

415
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,240
and slide the other one on it and voila, it works perfectly well.

416
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,640
So, I was coming up to the office to get a paperclip and I come up to the stairs and I had

417
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:13,640
just swept in there.

418
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,640
It was all nice and clean.

419
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,480
And so, I come into the office and I grab a paperclip and I'm sticking it in my shirt.

420
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,880
And for whatever reason, it's just not sticking.

421
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,920
And I'm like, what the heck?

422
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,320
And right then, starting to go back downstairs, right then on the floor, I look and there's

423
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:31,880
a paperclip on the stairs as I pull the paperclip out of from under my shirt and it's all bent

424
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,880
up.

425
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,600
So, the paperclip was not there when I came up the stairs.

426
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,520
And how, you know, like the universe knew I was going to need this paperclip.

427
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,200
Before I knew, I was going to need the paperclip.

428
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,200
So, put it right there.

429
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:45,200
I pulled the thing out.

430
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,200
I'm like, oh my gosh, hey, look at that.

431
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,880
It's so beautiful.

432
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:58,760
I think I just need to be more present because it's not happening to me anymore.

433
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,920
You know, I'm in a weird place.

434
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:01,920
Well, it's happening.

435
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:02,920
You're just not seeing it.

436
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,920
That's exactly what I'm saying.

437
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,920
And that's the stuff.

438
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,720
This happens to us all the time.

439
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,480
And sometimes you just, we take it for granted or you just write it off or what a coincidence

440
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:11,480
or whatever.

441
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,160
But if you think about it, it's more than that.

442
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,360
And sometimes it's a paperclip, sometimes, you know, you don't even notice.

443
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:22,520
Sometimes it's like the milk creamer, you know, in the hallway.

444
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:28,360
I mean, there's little things that can happen all the time and you just kind of notice.

445
00:22:28,360 --> 00:22:29,360
Yeah.

446
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:32,200
And I think actually, the story is like that.

447
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,200
Help me to reframe.

448
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,200
Oh, yeah.

449
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,680
Remind me of things like that.

450
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,240
So, if you are watching this right now, you have a story that you want to share about.

451
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,680
Some miracle that happened to you that you noticed.

452
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,240
Share with us because it will help me.

453
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,160
So it's all about me, I draw.

454
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,440
Someone say something about that.

455
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,680
Yeah, it's not about me.

456
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:53,680
It's.

457
00:22:53,680 --> 00:23:04,160
But, so the meditations that you have been having of late, I've seen you meditating every

458
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,160
morning.

459
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,240
You've come home from taking our kid to the school.

460
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:12,480
I come down from getting ready and you're already downstairs meditating.

461
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,200
How have those been for you?

462
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,800
You know, it depends.

463
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:21,200
Like, today was not very good because I was too focused on the issue that we had last night.

464
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,920
I wonder what was going to happen.

465
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,680
And that's the time that I should take the time and really connect.

466
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:26,680
Right.

467
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,320
You know, it's like when you need it the most, sometimes it's the hardest to get.

468
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,760
No matter what you do, you just can't quiet the monkey mind that I'm trying to breathe

469
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,560
in and I'm doing the guided meditation, which usually I just listen to music.

470
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,440
But I just could not get out of my head.

471
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,480
And I get frustrated, but I have to realize that's okay.

472
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,320
For whatever reason, it wasn't meant to happen today.

473
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:45,560
So when it does, it'll just be that much more impactful.

474
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:46,560
Show it up.

475
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:52,120
Well, that's the most important thing is showing up.

476
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:56,040
Because your ego is trying to tell you every other reason why you shouldn't show up.

477
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:57,480
Why you shouldn't do it.

478
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,720
So I'm glad that you're doing it now again.

479
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:00,720
Thank you.

480
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,920
Now, there was a while that you were actually connecting.

481
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,800
I was having some good connections and it wasn't that long ago.

482
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:13,480
And it's the messages that you need to hear that are the ones that the downloads that

483
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,480
you get.

484
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,720
I think it was maybe a month ago.

485
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,040
We were kind of talking about what's our purpose of being here.

486
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,040
Why are we here?

487
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,400
And we have some similar views.

488
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,240
We have some different views.

489
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,800
And what came into me was like our spirit is like a beautiful diamond.

490
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:30,520
And yes, we have all this knowledge.

491
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,440
We have everything, but we come here just to create one more facet.

492
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,600
Every time we come back, we create another facet and what that does is we don't get back

493
00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,600
into that diamond.

494
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,920
It sparkles even brighter and glows even more and it's even more beautiful.

495
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:42,920
Let me feel it.

496
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,560
It's like what they say, the beauty of the diamond is in the flaws.

497
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:48,560
Right?

498
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:53,360
So therefore all the things are happening in life like my conversation with the big boss

499
00:24:53,360 --> 00:24:54,680
today.

500
00:24:54,680 --> 00:25:00,160
That just makes it better when I realize it and I.

501
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:06,280
It's a reminder that as far as I've come, I still have a long way to go.

502
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:11,160
So I am grateful for those reminders because otherwise I'd be going through life completely

503
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,880
blind as I was five, six, seven years ago.

504
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,240
And you were not happy.

505
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:22,520
Even now you're like, oh, this kind of sucked at work today, which yeah, but I think you're

506
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,720
able to just say, okay, that was just a moment and take whatever you need to learn from that

507
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,080
moment and move on.

508
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:35,000
Well, and I think also I'm not real happy with the way I look and the way I feel.

509
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:41,760
I'm very heavy and I keep talking to myself about going to the gym and I have every intention

510
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,000
of going to the gym.

511
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,560
But I end up not going.

512
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,360
So I need to figure out why that is.

513
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:48,360
Oh, right.

514
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:49,520
We love you back.

515
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,760
Thank you so much for tuning in.

516
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:52,760
Keep up the beautiful work.

517
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:53,760
Stay well.

518
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:54,760
We definitely will.

519
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:55,760
We will do our very best.

520
00:25:55,760 --> 00:26:01,880
You also, please keep up the beautiful work and stay well because you're doing really important

521
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,880
work in the world.

522
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,280
So thank you for that.

523
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:09,560
But anyway, so I'm not feeling all very, very good about myself.

524
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:14,400
So I went out and I found someone who's going to talk to us on the show soon about Chigong.

525
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,400
Oh, we haven't talked about that.

526
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:17,400
We have not.

527
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,400
Oh, good.

528
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,400
Yeah.

529
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:25,320
So Master Guru is going to come in and talk to us about Chigong and spiritual embodiment.

530
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:29,680
Now, important is to get that energy flowing through your body.

531
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,920
So I look forward to that because I really need it.

532
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:39,840
I've never met Master Guru that I went to Dr. Gao in China for acupuncture.

533
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,240
Something magical about those G words.

534
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,240
I know.

535
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,520
Those G names.

536
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,840
But so you stay tuned for that episode that will be coming out here in the next several

537
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:49,240
weeks.

538
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,240
But it should be interesting.

539
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,560
What I love for him to do, although I don't think we're going to be able to do it, is

540
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:58,760
for him to actually show us, like show us the movements, you know, but I don't know

541
00:26:58,760 --> 00:26:59,960
it's a good possible one for Chigong.

542
00:26:59,960 --> 00:27:00,960
But we'll see.

543
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:01,960
We'll see where I can do.

544
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:08,480
If you happen to be in the hamper in the area, no one who's doing Chigong or Tai Chi, I would

545
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,280
love to know because I used to do it.

546
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,520
Now I forgot all the movements and I used to love it.

547
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,800
So anyway, what else can I remember?

548
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:16,800
What else you want to talk about?

549
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:18,760
Well, I was thinking about this.

550
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:24,640
You know, we've talked to so many different people and so many different modalities.

551
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:29,440
And some of them have done work on us for us with us.

552
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,040
There have ever been one that you were just like, holy cow.

553
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,040
That was amazing.

554
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,040
You could just go blown away.

555
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,040
I mean, I know there have been.

556
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,680
I'm totally putting you on spot to pick one right now.

557
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,680
Now, let me go first.

558
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:41,680
Yes, please.

559
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:42,680
I can't go first.

560
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:44,680
Do you know, can you read my mind?

561
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,480
Do you know who I'm going to talk about?

562
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:47,480
Breath of work?

563
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:48,480
Nope.

564
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,480
Oh, yes.

565
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,480
The miracles.

566
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:51,480
Miracles?

567
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:52,480
Mm-hmm.

568
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,480
Could be a name.

569
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:56,480
Darn?

570
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:57,480
Yes.

571
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,280
I'm like, we've talked a lot about miracles.

572
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:01,280
Darn Travedi.

573
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:09,040
Darn Travedi says she's just a beautiful kind, kind woman who we interviewed for a while.

574
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,720
She and her husband actually, she's a guru.

575
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:13,920
Or two, right?

576
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,800
And they do blessings for people.

577
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:18,160
And it's become their life work.

578
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,120
I think she's based out of Florida and he's from India.

579
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:24,360
And so together, they do these blessings.

580
00:28:24,360 --> 00:28:25,680
And she's so kind.

581
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:31,280
And at the time that we met, I was going through some pretty serious medical stuff.

582
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:35,720
And so, you know, she said, you know, I want to give you a blessing.

583
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,120
And just out of the generosity of her heart, you know, so I said, oh, thank you.

584
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,120
You know, you don't have to do that.

585
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,120
I really appreciate it.

586
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,560
She said, well, I'm not going to do it now, but it'll happen within the next couple of

587
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:44,560
days.

588
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,040
Well, I didn't really think a whole lot of it because it wasn't like an in-person

589
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,040
I'm doing this.

590
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,560
It was just kind of like it's happening in a couple of days.

591
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:52,560
I didn't know when.

592
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,920
I kind of out of sight, out of mind.

593
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,480
And then about a week later, I realized something.

594
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:06,640
Now, for the last year and a half or so, I had been, I hurt myself in dancing.

595
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,280
That's how old I am.

596
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,680
I think it was the clogs I was wearing.

597
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,600
I did like one of those days with my ankle, but I hurt my knee.

598
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:19,200
And it was just kind of a constant reminder pain for like a year and a half.

599
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,520
Not bad enough to go to the doctor for, well, I mean, maybe it probably was.

600
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,120
But I didn't go to the doctor.

601
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:31,600
So about a week after we met with her, maybe not even, maybe like three days, the pain was gone.

602
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,400
And it's never come back.

603
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,640
And it wasn't like, it's feeling a little better.

604
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:36,640
It's feeling a little better.

605
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,960
It's natural healing process because it's been a year and a half and it's been at a level

606
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,440
like four out of five for a year and a half.

607
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,480
And then also the one day was just gone.

608
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,360
So I firmly believe, and I talked to her about that and thank her tremendously.

609
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,760
I do believe it was the blessing.

610
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,760
Yeah.

611
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:51,760
Yeah.

612
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:57,600
I think that I am too much of a gym and I have to be able to pick just one.

613
00:29:57,600 --> 00:29:59,120
Well, how about this?

614
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:00,120
Select one for today.

615
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,400
Does it have to be the one?

616
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:03,960
It can just be a one.

617
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,600
Well, I think so.

618
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:06,600
I'm hungry.

619
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:20,880
I think for me, the ones that really moved me the most are the ones that are stories that

620
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:29,960
help me to learn things like Jonathan Robinson, who was on our live, live skeptic musicians

621
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:31,960
live last month.

622
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,280
Last month, yeah.

623
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:40,400
His stories remind me of how to live.

624
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,640
And I think those are the ones that really speak to me.

625
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:49,080
People that help me to be present, the ones I really enjoy.

626
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:50,720
I've tried the modalities.

627
00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,480
I'm incredibly difficult to read.

628
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,680
Psychic readings are very difficult for me.

629
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:01,320
They don't typically, they find me closed off.

630
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:02,320
Not my choice.

631
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,320
It just happens to be that way.

632
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,320
I didn't know that.

633
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,920
You never told me that before.

634
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,920
Surprise.

635
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:08,920
Yeah.

636
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,920
So we have a message on.

637
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:12,920
Do you want to challenge readers?

638
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,600
No, it just makes me feel bad after a while.

639
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,400
It's just like, I don't give them anything.

640
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,640
I don't like doing that.

641
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:24,920
But we do have a message on subs, tack and for some reason it's not showing up on my board

642
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:25,920
here.

643
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:26,920
So I can't put it up on screen.

644
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:31,840
But from Casey, oh my god, my eyes are so bad.

645
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,120
Casey, I'm sorry, B-O-U-R-R-E-T.

646
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,360
I apologize for, I didn't know that's the way to pronounce it.

647
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:39,440
So I don't want to pronounce it.

648
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,400
But they say, love you guys.

649
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,480
I think I've gotten through every podcast now.

650
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,080
Some multiple times.

651
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,440
You have both been exactly what I needed over the last one or two years when I navigate

652
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:49,440
my own personal journey.

653
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,040
You have shown me pathways.

654
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,440
And modalities I never even knew existed.

655
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,760
And it's been such a fun and amazing journey.

656
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,160
Thank you in all caps.

657
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:03,680
See, it's things like this that Casey's put on here that make me go, okay, I'm good.

658
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,000
Yeah, and Brett.

659
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,440
And of course, then Brett.

660
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:08,440
But having.

661
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:09,440
Gosh, I love that.

662
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:14,760
Yeah, having these comments, that is what helps me to go, okay, okay, yeah, back on the

663
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,760
path.

664
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,000
We're doing good things for some people.

665
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:23,960
And all we're doing is sharing our journey and inviting you to come along with us on our

666
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,960
journey.

667
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:25,960
And we're thrilled.

668
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:28,240
We're honored to have you with us on our journey.

669
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,200
So thank you for Casey for putting that on.

670
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:31,200
Yeah, for the comments.

671
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,960
And even for sharing that, that, just the energy that you took to write that, we get that.

672
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:35,960
We feel that energy.

673
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,640
And it just is so uplifting.

674
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:38,640
It's incredible.

675
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:39,960
That's the best thing about all of this.

676
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,680
It's just connecting with the people and.

677
00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:42,680
No question.

678
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,640
You know, we had an episode not long ago from Lisa Campion, I think it was last week

679
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,680
that talked about psychic energy vampires.

680
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:54,960
I think in a way we might be psychic energy vampires because we actually, we put in a good

681
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:55,960
way.

682
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,720
Like we feed from like the good feelings of people that leave us messages and things like

683
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:00,720
that.

684
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:01,720
I like to think we send energy back.

685
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:02,720
Oh, I hope so too.

686
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:06,760
But you know, if I call you Casey, caring you.

687
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,160
Oh my God.

688
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:09,960
You nailed the pronunciation.

689
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:10,960
Yes.

690
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:12,960
No, for a nice.

691
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:13,960
Okay.

692
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,680
I'm glad she was like, and you pick.

693
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:19,680
Okay.

694
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:20,680
I'm glad.

695
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:21,680
Yes.

696
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:22,680
No, but that case you thank you.

697
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,080
You really, you've done wonders for my mood.

698
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,400
So thank you so much for that comment.

699
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:27,880
That's amazing.

700
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:28,880
All right.

701
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:34,720
So in terms of going back to your question about what really moves me, a lot of the conversations

702
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:40,240
that we've had, it really depends on where I am.

703
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:46,680
My mindset because sometimes we had a conversation with the gentleman who at the end of it, we

704
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,360
always ask each other, so how was it for you?

705
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,360
And you're like, oh, that was good.

706
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:52,760
And for me, it was like, wow.

707
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:57,560
And it wasn't anything major, but it was for some reason you, you connect with that energy

708
00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,560
with that, that message.

709
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:03,640
And I can't explain why, but it just happens.

710
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,720
So it's not really a modality for me.

711
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:10,120
It's more of a, the energy exchange that we have that moves me more than anything else.

712
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:12,920
We have a message from Tony Rathman.

713
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:13,920
I'm squinting.

714
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,920
Tony Rathman, yeah, we've had him on the show.

715
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,760
Tony says, loves the show.

716
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:19,760
Always great topics covered.

717
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:21,880
There is so much we don't understand and possibilities.

718
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:22,880
We don't yet understand.

719
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,240
Tony, you are one of the ones that know this better than the others.

720
00:34:26,240 --> 00:34:30,280
You are the gentleman who is speaking with those on the other side.

721
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:33,240
So thank you for coming and thank you for your comment.

722
00:34:33,240 --> 00:34:36,360
Thank you for participating in the show.

723
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:37,360
And you're right.

724
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:42,680
We do have a lot of different topics and there is so much that we don't understand.

725
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,120
And I think that's probably probably part of the fun.

726
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:47,120
It is.

727
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:50,080
And you know, it's like, like we talked about when we kind of first started really getting

728
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,640
into this and, you know, what are your thoughts on death?

729
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,160
What are your thoughts on this?

730
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,600
And some of these things, some of these different modalities that we've since learned about

731
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:02,600
have seemed so far out there when you first hear about it, you're like, what?

732
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,640
And then at the end of the conversation, I'm like, oh, I'm totally on board.

733
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:06,640
I believe all of it.

734
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:07,320
Yeah.

735
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:12,280
And it is, it's not necessarily the words that they're saying.

736
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,680
But again, the energy, the feeling that that connection, something that I think that you're

737
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,120
connecting on a higher level so you get that understanding.

738
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:20,120
Definitely.

739
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,120
I took up my hands a lot.

740
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:22,120
I do as you do.

741
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:23,920
I feel like I'm going to be knocked out in you.

742
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:24,920
You might be.

743
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,880
But to your point, I think that's the point.

744
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:36,000
I think that at the beginning of this journey, I was always trying to find the answer.

745
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:42,400
And now, if I find myself in love with the question, I think that's the most fun about it.

746
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:47,120
The fact is, we're never going to know on this lifetime.

747
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:48,960
We won't know until we cross over.

748
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:51,440
It just reminded me of like, binging the show.

749
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,400
It's like you love the next episode.

750
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:54,880
Then what's going to happen now?

751
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:55,880
What's going to happen now?

752
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:56,880
What's going to happen now?

753
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:57,880
You keep wanting to go and find out.

754
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,640
And then, unfortunately, at the end of the show, it's over and you're like, so disappointed.

755
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,320
Well, this show, I mean, not necessarily our show.

756
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:05,320
Right.

757
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:07,240
This metaphysical show will never end.

758
00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:08,240
Right.

759
00:36:08,240 --> 00:36:09,240
So that's exciting.

760
00:36:09,240 --> 00:36:10,240
That's the best show to binge.

761
00:36:10,240 --> 00:36:14,000
So I guess that's the point is enjoy the ride.

762
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,440
Enjoy the ups and the downs because we're here to--

763
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,160
Maybe you just told yourself the lesson from today.

764
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:21,160
100%.

765
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:23,160
I just, it's exactly.

766
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:24,880
Tony, thank you so much for the comment.

767
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:29,680
If you haven't seen, listen to Tony's episode on the Skeptic Minimizations.

768
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:35,000
We urge you to run and get that-- he's a creator of static comment.

769
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,120
He's like a phone to the other side.

770
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,120
And he actually--

771
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:40,120
So cool.

772
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:41,120
It was so cool.

773
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,040
He brought clips and he played them on the show.

774
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:47,960
And it was like, whoa, you can absolutely hear these things from the other side.

775
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:54,160
It's not like a typical-- that could have been this in the static somewhere, but it's

776
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,960
a different technology that isn't connected.

777
00:36:57,960 --> 00:36:59,360
So there's no static involved.

778
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:00,360
So it's pretty amazing.

779
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:06,000
So we really love that show and we would urge you to go check it out because it's really

780
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,000
good.

781
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,680
You know, one of the things that I love about doing this is a lot of the stuff that used

782
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,720
to be scary just isn't scary anymore.

783
00:37:12,720 --> 00:37:13,720
Right.

784
00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:14,720
You know?

785
00:37:14,720 --> 00:37:17,960
It's like literally opened up so many layers and--

786
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:18,960
Yep.

787
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:19,960
Probably different.

788
00:37:19,960 --> 00:37:20,960
Yep.

789
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,800
Tony's building the static-com for.

790
00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,200
What is static-com for?

791
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,200
Oh my gosh.

792
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,200
We're going to have to talk to Tony if I'm not like that.

793
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:30,200
It is.

794
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,200
Yeah.

795
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:36,280
It would be a holographic image of your dear departed person.

796
00:37:36,280 --> 00:37:37,280
So yeah, that's exciting.

797
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:38,600
Tony's static-com for.

798
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:39,600
I remember it.

799
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,200
I know that the one that you shared with us on our show was pretty-- it was very impressive.

800
00:37:43,200 --> 00:37:44,840
I can only imagine what static-com for.

801
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:48,040
It's going to be-- it's going to outdo Zoom.

802
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,560
Any I can already feel it.

803
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,400
I can already feel it.

804
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:53,400
Wow.

805
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,080
That's your bar, Zoom.

806
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,680
I mean, isn't it everyone's bar?

807
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:02,280
I think there are some other dimensional beings right now just looking at you going, oh, well.

808
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:03,280
Right.

809
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,280
If there are other dimensional beings looking at me right now, they already know how I am.

810
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,280
So they expect that to be the case.

811
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:09,280
That's true.

812
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:10,280
That's true.

813
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:16,920
But yeah, so I think back to the topic at hand, that is the point of our experience.

814
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,600
It's to experience the highs and lows.

815
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:24,640
So even though I was all crummy because I had a bad day at work, I still am trying to-- at

816
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:29,600
least this part I've learned, at least I'm trying to give myself the grace to say, it's all

817
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:30,600
part of it.

818
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:33,720
So it doesn't take me out for a week like I used to.

819
00:38:33,720 --> 00:38:35,480
It is part of the experience.

820
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:39,200
I can't be upbeat and positive all the time.

821
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:44,480
No, because then you would be me now.

822
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:45,880
Sure.

823
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:54,600
Anyway, I am appreciative of all of you who are tuning in.

824
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,360
Who are sending us these messages?

825
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,360
Oh, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but we changed the graphics.

826
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:00,960
We changed the look of our show.

827
00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:02,400
We love to get your thoughts.

828
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:03,800
This is what it looks like now, right?

829
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,920
This is our new show poster.

830
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,400
I think it looks like a movie poster.

831
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:08,400
I think it looks like a movie poster.

832
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,600
And it also looks like we're ice skating.

833
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,440
And I've always wanted to be a good ice skater.

834
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:14,800
Well, I didn't think of it as ice skating.

835
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,400
It looks like it's ice.

836
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,400
It's beautiful.

837
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:18,400
I love it.

838
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:20,560
I'm absolutely in love with it.

839
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,640
Love to get your thoughts on it.

840
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:22,640
Do you like it?

841
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:23,640
Do you like the other one better?

842
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:24,640
Can you ice skate?

843
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:25,640
I can.

844
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:26,640
Nope.

845
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:32,040
I mean, I try, but I end up on my butt more times and not.

846
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,760
But I think it looks more modern.

847
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,560
And I think it brings the show to a different level.

848
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,840
So I'm very pleased by it myself.

849
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:41,840
Yes.

850
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:44,200
Well, now let me see if I can get it back out.

851
00:39:44,200 --> 00:39:45,200
Oh, there we go.

852
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,200
All right.

853
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,200
Casey loves it.

854
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:48,200
Thank you, Casey.

855
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,200
Yay.

856
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,200
We're excited that you love it.

857
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:51,200
I'm glad.

858
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:52,200
You know, I do these things.

859
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,520
I say, hey, Karen, a team to show graphics.

860
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,200
As you go, what again?

861
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,200
What?

862
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:01,400
Yeah, I should probably consult with my partner on these things before I do it.

863
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:05,040
But I just fell in love with it so much that I just I couldn't not change it.

864
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:07,720
Are you for making a lot of changes?

865
00:40:07,720 --> 00:40:08,720
I have.

866
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,120
But not just not just to our show.

867
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:11,120
Well, that's what I mean.

868
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,120
To new reality TV.

869
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:13,120
Yeah.

870
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,720
If you've not checked out new reality TV in a while, we'd love for you to go check it

871
00:40:16,720 --> 00:40:18,280
out and let us know what your thoughts are.

872
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,120
We did redesign it completely.

873
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,120
Different colors.

874
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:28,640
It's a different feel, different layout of the platform.

875
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:33,880
And more importantly, all of the episodes, all the show artwork has been upgraded as well.

876
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,080
So it all feels much more professional, I think, in my estimation.

877
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,080
Yeah.

878
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,680
And it better reflects our mission.

879
00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,280
And we also have the second annual magazine up there.

880
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,320
And it also has a big improvement on the first one.

881
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:46,320
Yeah.

882
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,800
And the goals that our content creators have have written that are just really, really

883
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:51,800
interesting.

884
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:52,800
Yes.

885
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:53,800
New reality magazine.

886
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:55,640
It is up on the platform.

887
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,240
I would urge you to go check it out.

888
00:40:57,240 --> 00:40:58,240
There's a lot.

889
00:40:58,240 --> 00:40:59,240
Second volume.

890
00:40:59,240 --> 00:41:00,800
But both volumes are up there right now.

891
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,520
But volume two specifically is breathtaking.

892
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,280
The coverage itself is amazing.

893
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:07,840
And then the articles are wonderful.

894
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,120
If you haven't had a chance to read those, we urge you to do that because they're really

895
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:12,120
good.

896
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:13,120
A nice job on that, Karen.

897
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,120
Thank you.

898
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,520
And this is for baby.

899
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:20,760
And there's so much great content on there from people that really, I mean, their whole purpose

900
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,880
is to help people.

901
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:25,120
And it's just, it's such a lovely community.

902
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,720
Talk about high energy.

903
00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:29,960
So yeah, check it out in new reality tv.com.

904
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:33,760
And hey, if you have a video content that you'd like to share, let us know.

905
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:34,760
We'll check it out.

906
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:35,760
Definitely.

907
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:36,760
I'd love to collaborate.

908
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:37,760
Just collaborate.

909
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:38,760
Just collaborate.

910
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:39,760
Co-create.

911
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:40,760
So thank you.

912
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:41,760
Co-something.

913
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,080
Love to go create with you.

914
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:45,080
Yeah.

915
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,640
So we are always looking for content partners.

916
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:51,560
The platform is meant to be a place where you feel people can feel safe to go to.

917
00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:53,040
It's not meant to trigger.

918
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,400
We prefer to stay away from fear-based content.

919
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:59,160
We prefer to stay away from divisive stuff or political stuff.

920
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:03,640
It's just a safe place for you to go and know you're not going to be served anything that's

921
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,120
meant to trigger a fear response.

922
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,080
There are some shadow work content on there.

923
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,960
But all in the interest of improving and getting better.

924
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,800
When we first started the conversation, we talked about my own shadow work, my ego thing,

925
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,160
that was having work.

926
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,800
All in the interest of working through it, why is this happening?

927
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:22,840
What am I supposed to learn from it?

928
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:24,440
How can I move forward beyond it?

929
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:25,840
Same general things.

930
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,320
So I'm currently all the content is free.

931
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:29,560
So you don't have to pay anything.

932
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,920
You just get on there and pop around and watch the different shows, get to know the

933
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:34,160
different content creators.

934
00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,840
And hey, we are on Roku and Fire TV too.

935
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:37,840
It's great.

936
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:42,040
If you are on Roku or Fire TV, just search for new reality TV.

937
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:43,640
I think sometimes you have to put in the dot com.

938
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:44,640
Sometimes you don't.

939
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:45,640
I'm not sure.

940
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,640
But you'll find us there.

941
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,520
You'll see the logo and you'll see all the content there as well.

942
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:50,520
It's pretty cool.

943
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:51,520
I think it's pretty cool.

944
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:52,520
The broadcaster is there.

945
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:53,520
The on-demand stuff is there.

946
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:54,520
I really enjoy it.

947
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,640
I'm watching now on my TV all the time.

948
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:58,640
Because--

949
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,520
And that's how we learned to get a little further away from the camera because our TV is big.

950
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:02,520
Oh, God.

951
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:03,520
And we saw us on it.

952
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:05,520
We're like, oh, no one is seeing me that big.

953
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:06,520
And you make it not high death.

954
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:11,440
I look better with a little bit of a blur.

955
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,880
That's what I do without my glasses on.

956
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:20,440
So I can forgive myself and then watch my someone TV and go, oh, God, no, what am I thinking?

957
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,440
No.

958
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:24,440
What else, Karen?

959
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:25,440
What else is on your mind?

960
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,680
Well, I was thinking about when we were kind of talking about the energy and what we get

961
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:31,680
out of doing this.

962
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,680
I don't know if a lot of people know.

963
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,080
I mean, if you've listened to a lot of episodes, you might know this already.

964
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:42,800
But there was a time there when we actually were looking to stop to sunset the skeptic

965
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,200
manifestations.

966
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,120
And that's because, well, he does all the work.

967
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:48,840
I just kind of show up and talk.

968
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:50,840
I think God she does because she--

969
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,160
Without her, the show is nothing.

970
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:54,160
No.

971
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:59,920
But it was taking so much of our family life away because you get home from work.

972
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:03,520
And then this is, you know, either they were making, you know, interviews or having interviews.

973
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:06,520
But then there's the editing and all the stuff that takes a long time.

974
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:10,080
So I got to the point where it was really, you know, he was missing out on a lot.

975
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:16,280
And so we thought, okay, you know, he'd originally kind of done this to kind of work through a crisis

976
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:19,640
he was having and he was, you know, feeling good about things.

977
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:24,000
So right before we shut it down, you know, we're like, let's just-- I wonder if anyone's

978
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,240
even listening.

979
00:44:25,240 --> 00:44:26,800
So we Googled it.

980
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:32,000
And we were not big podcasters at the time and didn't know that Apple had like this whole

981
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:38,520
review site and we found like multiple pages of reviews.

982
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:42,160
And you know, we were kind of reading them and people had taken time out of their day to

983
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,760
like go on there to write paragraphs about our show.

984
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:47,280
I mean, fortunately they were all good.

985
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,880
There were no bad paragraphs.

986
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:55,760
But the very last one that we read, you know, this guy was kind of talking about how he

987
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,360
can't talk to his family about this.

988
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:58,360
And it was very heartfelt.

989
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,120
And the last thing he said was, thank you for helping me feel normal.

990
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,400
And Will and I just kind of looked at each other and were like, gosh, if we're helping one

991
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,880
person, we can't stop this.

992
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,600
And then fortunately, the universe did what it does and it dropped some software into Will's

993
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,960
lap that cut his editing time down to like a third.

994
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:16,360
So it was kind of a win-win.

995
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,120
We were still able to continue the podcast and we were also able to have that family time.

996
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,120
Yeah.

997
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:22,120
A little miracle right there.

998
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:23,120
Yeah.

999
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,200
That's some behind the scenes look at what happens at the Skepting and Resitions.

1000
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,200
Maybe you might not have known that.

1001
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:39,560
So at the end of the day, I think the learning thing, the learning, the moral to this story.

1002
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:40,560
The learning thing.

1003
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:41,560
Yes, the learning thing.

1004
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,560
It's been a long day.

1005
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,760
It has been a long day.

1006
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:47,760
And we still have more to go.

1007
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,200
We've got our meeting here in 15 years.

1008
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:51,200
That's right.

1009
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,200
And at some point, I have to make dinner.

1010
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:54,200
Oh, at some point.

1011
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:55,200
Yeah.

1012
00:45:55,200 --> 00:46:02,880
But I think the moral of this story is enjoy the ups and enjoy the downs because in the downs

1013
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:08,880
are the opportunities for us to learn so that the ups are better ups and they have been

1014
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,760
in the past because you can't have night without day.

1015
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:19,080
You can't have man without woman and you can't have Skeptic and Resitions without you.

1016
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:24,000
So we wanted to say thank you so much for watching, for tuning in, for engaging with

1017
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,000
us.

1018
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:32,600
For being a part of our community, we are really completely honest, sincerely.

1019
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:38,680
When we mention to you how much your comments, your engagements, your emails, your voice

1020
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:45,080
mills, your reviews, all that, all that interaction, you have no idea how much it means to us.

1021
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:47,800
We really want to say thank you for being a part of it.

1022
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,320
And I talked about how we kept the podcast because we were helping one person.

1023
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,320
And actually, all of you have helped us tremendously.

1024
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:55,320
Thank you.

1025
00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:56,320
Thank you.

1026
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:59,320
We are very grateful and we truly love all of you.

1027
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:02,200
Yeah, we do.

1028
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:06,240
I guess we're going to say goodbye now.

1029
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:08,960
We want to say thank you once again for tuning in.

1030
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:15,840
We will be back again next month, every second Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. Eastern time.

1031
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,560
If you have any questions or any comments or you want to share your stories, you don't

1032
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:20,560
have to share it online.

1033
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:21,560
No worries.

1034
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:22,560
We'd love to see it.

1035
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:23,560
We'd love to read it.

1036
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:27,840
Or if there's any interviews or modalities you'd like to explore, we can do our best to try

1037
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:28,840
to find those.

1038
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:29,840
Absolutely.

1039
00:47:29,840 --> 00:47:35,200
The best way to get a hold of us is skepticmanivision.com.

1040
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,600
There's a little tab on the right hand side that says send us a voice mail.

1041
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:40,080
We would love to hear your voice.

1042
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:41,640
We might actually play it on the show.

1043
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:42,960
We'd love to do that.

1044
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:47,680
So if you feel called, we'd love to hear your voice.

1045
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:52,040
If you prefer not to leave your voice, but rather send us a voice mail, you certainly can

1046
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:53,040
do that.

1047
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:57,520
And of course, if you haven't checked out your reality in a while, all you need to do is

1048
00:47:57,520 --> 00:47:58,520
go to reality.com.

1049
00:47:58,520 --> 00:48:00,200
You'll see all the content there.

1050
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:06,120
It's all meant to be in the interest of helping raise the consciousness of a planet.

1051
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,280
So we really do appreciate you very much.

1052
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,600
We hope that you will be with us again next month.

1053
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,920
And until that happens, we say now.

1054
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:16,920
Thank you.

1055
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:17,920
Thanks, Tha.

1056
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,560
Take care.

1057
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:22,560
My name is Will.

1058
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:23,560
And I'm Karen.

1059
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:24,560
And unlike Moldor and Scully.

1060
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:25,560
Both want to believe.

1061
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,560
So we've embarked on a journey of discovery.

1062
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:31,080
We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual and metaphysical world.

1063
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,000
We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences.

1064
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:35,680
I even joined a covenant with you.

1065
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:36,680
And, wait.

1066
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:37,680
You joined a covenant?

1067
00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:38,680
Yup.

1068
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,000
All in the interest of fighting something.

1069
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,000
Anything.

1070
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:43,280
That will prove that there's something beyond this physical.

1071
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,200
Three-dimensional world we all live in.

1072
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,440
This is the skeptic metaphysicians.
