We Must Be Prepared to Change Everything

In this raw and deeply personal solo episode, Will opens up about a profound realization sparked by a recent conversation with the hosts from An Unimaginable Life . What begins as a reflection on manifestation and surrender quickly becomes an emotional reckoning with the uncomfortable truth: true spiritual evolution may require us to become someone we never intended—or even wanted—to be.

Will shares revelations about his desire for freedom, the hidden control issues holding him back, and the daunting but exhilarating idea of letting the universe take the lead. If you’ve ever thought you were ready to surrender… but weren’t quite prepared for what that truly means… this episode is your mirror.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why letting go of expectations is the real key to manifestation
  • How hidden limiting beliefs can sabotage your spiritual journey
  • What happens when the universe calls your bluff on being “ready”
  • Why the version of yourself you’re becoming might surprise (and scare) you
  • The importance of surrender in spiritual evolution—and what it really requires

💡 Quote of the Episode:
“If you’re not ready to completely change everything about you and your life, then you’re not ready to make the commitment to the universe that you think you’re making.”

Perfect For:

  • Seekers who are feeling stuck or disillusioned on their path
  • Listeners questioning why their manifestations aren’t coming to life
  • Anyone teetering on the edge of a spiritual breakthrough
  • Those ready to explore what true surrender might look like

1
00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:08.240
So we talk all the time about and we meaning

2
00:00:08.279 --> 00:00:13.800
the New Age movement or the metaphysical journeyers, the seekers

3
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:19.600
and the coaches talk about the importance of feeling the

4
00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:24.600
energies behind what you want to have to draw it

5
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:28.000
to you, but also the importance of letting it go

6
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:32.359
and not expecting it to be delivered to you in

7
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:36.320
a particular way. Nine times out of ten, the universe

8
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:39.399
will provide exactly what you asked for in a way

9
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:45.920
that was very unexpected. Well, we just had the conversation

10
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:49.479
with Gary and Christy gray Body and Christie from an

11
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:55.200
Unimaginable Life, and they said something that there's lots of

12
00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:56.679
things that's doing me for a loop, but this thing

13
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:01.719
specifically was something that made me really like it hit

14
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.280
home in a big way. See, they're walking us through

15
00:01:05.599 --> 00:01:07.959
a I want to say, it's a tactic or an

16
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:12.400
activity that if you do fifteen minutes every day at

17
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:14.239
the end of the day, it will help you to

18
00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:17.319
achieve your wildest dreams because you're getting rid of limiting

19
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:20.120
beliefs and all that kind of stuff. And they said

20
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:24.120
in the conversation that they've been putting this into effect

21
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:28.120
for a long time and not only do you have

22
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:32.719
to let go of the expectations, but rather, if you

23
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:34.920
are to do these things and let go of your

24
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:38.879
limiting beliefs, the likelihood is going to be very big

25
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.680
that the person you become might even be a person

26
00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:49.519
that you presently right now don't want to become. Maybe

27
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.599
be a little specific. So it doesn't sound so weird.

28
00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:54.680
I know it's too late, but a lot of people

29
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.480
that do these this exercise over a course of things

30
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.000
that have an eight week course, and I believe Christie's

31
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.519
done it three times, so she's done this a bunch.

32
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:06.640
But it seems that people will go through this course

33
00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:09.840
and put a lot of effort into it or really

34
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:16.919
really take it seriously. Their talents activate. And Christy is

35
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.840
a unbelievably talented spirit medium. She speaks to dead people

36
00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.919
and they talk back. Gary Bodley Gary Temple Bodley is

37
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:30.520
a chandler. He has channeled an unity named Joshua for

38
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.800
a long time. That's how we know about them. Neither

39
00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:40.000
one of them wanted that to happen to them when

40
00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.280
they first started. Gary said, I mean right now, if

41
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.000
I thought back ten years ago, I would have said

42
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.520
I did not want to be this guy, because you know,

43
00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:53.000
I'm this weird guy now channeling this being like I

44
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.879
never would have wanted this to happen to me. And

45
00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:57.960
Christy the last thing that she wanted was to be

46
00:02:58.039 --> 00:02:59.800
a spirit medium. She doesn't want to talk to dead people,

47
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:03.719
to see dead people, and yet that's what was activated

48
00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:06.520
in her. And she went on even went on to

49
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:11.560
say that the gifts, because of course I asked, oh,

50
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:13.599
that's production, right, that's what I really want, but she

51
00:03:13.840 --> 00:03:17.520
actually even said, the gifts that you want the least

52
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:23.479
is probably most likely what will be activated. And so

53
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.240
even though neither one of them wanted to have that

54
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:32.280
particular talent activated for them, they don't want to become

55
00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:36.919
that person that they are today. Their life today is

56
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:42.479
way more fitting within their mindset of what they wanted

57
00:03:42.560 --> 00:03:45.560
in terms of abundance. They have been able to make

58
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:52.759
a wonderful life together by being who they are being.

59
00:03:54.280 --> 00:04:00.280
And so, coming back full circle when they said, you

60
00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:04.000
need to be prepared to be a completely different person

61
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:06.919
than you ever expect it to be or you ever

62
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:13.240
want to be, because that's the act of surrendering, and

63
00:04:13.280 --> 00:04:15.639
we talk about it all the time in this space,

64
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:19.040
right the fact that you trust the universe, the true universe,

65
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:24.480
will provide, but we can't control it. The act of

66
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.839
controlling shuts down the manifestation. The act of wanting to

67
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.319
control it is what causes us to not be able

68
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:38.000
to access it. So, of course, if we release control,

69
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:45.519
if we relinquish all of our limitations or expectations that's

70
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:49.800
a better word, all of our expectations than the universe.

71
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.720
We truly do that, then the universe will provide for

72
00:04:53.839 --> 00:04:57.759
us in such a much better, more robust way than

73
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.560
we possibly could have imagined. But we have to be

74
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:08.000
willing to become the people that we had no idea

75
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.040
or no interest in becoming. This is way deeper than

76
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:17.120
what I'm making it out to be here, because give

77
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.120
you a perfect example, we had this whole conversation. I

78
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.319
went through these exercise with them myself, and I found

79
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:33.519
something so personally devastating. It was devastating only because I

80
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:38.439
had been fooling myself for so long thinking one way.

81
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:44.639
When I came to the realization that I had no idea,

82
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:49.839
that I was heightened behind a facade like I am,

83
00:05:50.160 --> 00:05:52.800
and so of course I'm not getting the things I

84
00:05:52.839 --> 00:05:57.040
want in the speed at which I want. I talked

85
00:05:57.160 --> 00:06:01.639
on the show about wanting freedom. Specifically, we want in

86
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:03.560
four years, we want to be digital nomadge, living out

87
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:05.519
in Europe and going from country to country or whatever.

88
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:10.279
That's very specific as to what we're asking for when

89
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:16.160
we push deeper to find out what what the emotion is,

90
00:06:16.160 --> 00:06:19.680
what the actual desires were there. It came down to

91
00:06:19.839 --> 00:06:24.519
having the freedom to do the work that we love

92
00:06:24.600 --> 00:06:26.319
to do, versus having to do the things that we

93
00:06:26.399 --> 00:06:28.480
have to do in order to get the bills paid,

94
00:06:28.519 --> 00:06:32.120
that kind of thing. So that freedom is what I

95
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.600
need to focus on, not the I want to be

96
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:37.319
in four years. I'm gonna be digital nobod. I'm gonna

97
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:38.600
do it this way and decide it's going to happen.

98
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.199
This is how we're gonna do it. I'm planning too much,

99
00:06:41.319 --> 00:06:45.639
and so I'm backing the universe into a corner. And

100
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.879
instead of doing that, I need to be able to

101
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:56.720
say I love the freedom that I have, and because

102
00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:00.959
I do, I have incredible amounts of freedom and I'm

103
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.240
unbelievably blessed to have the life that I have and

104
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:10.879
focus on those things and then use this exercise that

105
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:15.639
they shared with us today to help us to break

106
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:19.439
down the limiting beliefs that are keeping us in check,

107
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:25.279
like the control issues that we have. Now, my realization

108
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:28.800
that I came to during the conversation goes way deeper

109
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:32.000
than what I just shared with you. It's probably wouldn't

110
00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:34.920
be interesting to you, but at some point in the

111
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.759
future maybe I'll share. But what really resonated with me

112
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:44.319
the most to begin with was that thought of shoe.

113
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.120
If you're not ready to completely change everything about you

114
00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:53.439
in your life, then you're not ready to make the

115
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:55.759
commitment to the universe that you think that you're making.

116
00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:04.759
Because if you have ended yourself into a corner by

117
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:08.519
having certain expectations that the universes had to pain itself

118
00:08:08.560 --> 00:08:11.199
into a corner to give to you, and now all

119
00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:15.079
they can do is give you exactly what you are wanting,

120
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.480
which is exactly what you want here, except for a

121
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:20.240
little bit more. And it becomes more difficult for that

122
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:26.560
manifestition to come. If you instead surrender and allow, be

123
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:31.079
grateful for, and allow the changes that will come of

124
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:38.039
you from you actually relinquishing control. Well, that that's what

125
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:42.600
the magic happens. And that's the whole reason why I'm

126
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:48.600
saying this to you right now, because WHOA. I was

127
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:51.879
just in a meditation two days ago, maybe three days ago,

128
00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.240
where I sat there in the entire meditation, I was

129
00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:59.639
telling the universe, I'm ready, I surrender to tell me

130
00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.480
where you want me to go, show me how to

131
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.960
move forward so that I can move my evolution forward

132
00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:10.600
the next step. And then three days later this conversation

133
00:09:11.159 --> 00:09:15.840
smacks me straight in the face with the realization that, hey,

134
00:09:16.759 --> 00:09:21.000
are you really ready to surrender to the universe, because

135
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:23.919
if you're ready, I mean this is this is I get.

136
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.200
It's like a sign for me that says, all right,

137
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:27.879
you sure you know what you're asking for, because if

138
00:09:27.879 --> 00:09:29.440
you are ready, I'm going to give it to you.

139
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.840
But before you make that commitment, I want you to

140
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:37.000
see what is going to take. And I just swallowed

141
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:43.039
really hard because it's scary. It's scary to think I

142
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.600
need to change everything and it's not me changing. It

143
00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:49.559
would rather allow the universe to change it, to mold

144
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:54.679
it into the design that it wants for me in

145
00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.399
order to provide me with those things that I want

146
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:04.919
to create in a life of freedom. And I'm excited,

147
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.600
I'm scared, and I need to sit down and really

148
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:14.240
think through all of this because there's a lot more

149
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:16.639
soul searching than I need to do before I can

150
00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:19.120
fully surrender to the universe. Now that I think about it,

151
00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:22.720
I want to really badly. And I've said I'm ready.

152
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.519
I've said that I've been ready for a whole long time.

153
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:27.240
People who've listened to the show for a long time,

154
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:28.840
i've heard me say, Okay, I'm ray, I'm ready, Way,

155
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.720
let's go. I'm impatient. I didn't know what I was

156
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:34.519
asking for, and the universe and its infinite wisdom did

157
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:36.440
not give me what I was asking for because it

158
00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:40.679
knew I wasn't ready. But I think I'm finally starting

159
00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:42.080
to see the light at the end of sudden Now

160
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.559
I see how much work I need to do before

161
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:51.200
I actually am ready, And for once, I'm excited. I'm

162
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:58.039
excited about the possibility. I'm excited about the potential. Okay,

163
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.720
this reminds me of this is a throwback to when

164
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.519
the show first started, when I was speaking to my phone,

165
00:11:05.120 --> 00:11:07.440
and make that into an episode. I don't know what

166
00:11:07.519 --> 00:11:09.480
the audio quality is going to be, so this might

167
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:13.120
never make the light of day, but I felt the

168
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:15.960
need not even it urge, the need to pick up

169
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.080
my phone and start recording my thoughts because it's a lot,

170
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:23.600
and I think it's for the right people. I know,

171
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.480
the folks that aren't ready, this won't resonate with them.

172
00:11:26.600 --> 00:11:28.960
So this doesn't resonate with you. Don't worry about it,

173
00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:33.720
don't take offense, don't be disappointed. Just keep working, keep meditating,

174
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:38.200
keep reading the books, keep listening to the show, and

175
00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:42.759
keep questioning the decisions that you're making. Keep looking at

176
00:11:42.919 --> 00:11:49.039
your actions. And when this interview releases with Gary and

177
00:11:49.159 --> 00:11:52.720
Karen and Christie and I, I urge you strongly to

178
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:55.600
listen to it because you might see the light bulb

179
00:11:55.720 --> 00:12:00.200
might go off in you too. If it resonates with you,

180
00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.960
I would love, truly, I would love to hear from you,

181
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.679
because this might be something where we might need to

182
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:07.639
put together a little support group so we can all

183
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:10.440
go through it together. I know Gary and Christy have

184
00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:12.679
a community that I'm considering joining because this is the

185
00:12:12.759 --> 00:12:15.960
kind of thing that I think would be extremely helpful.

186
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:21.279
But why not form our own little spiritual support group.

187
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:23.919
So if this fasitates with you, let me know and

188
00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:25.840
let's see if we can move this thing forward. Because

189
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.879
for the first time in a very long time, I

190
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:35.600
see way more clearly the distance that I actually have

191
00:12:35.720 --> 00:12:40.080
yet to go before I can be ready for the

192
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:44.799
changes that I'm asking for. And yet I'm excited to

193
00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:48.679
start taking a step in that direction. So I hope

194
00:12:48.679 --> 00:12:51.120
you take a step in a direction with me as

195
00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:55.519
we evolve together, because after all, this is one very

196
00:12:55.559 --> 00:12:58.000
lonely journey on your own. We're all in it alone

197
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:03.399
by ourselves. But like is it, Ram Das or Wayne Dyer,

198
00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:06.919
one of those wonderful teachers, said, we're all just walking

199
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:11.840
each other home. Well, it's much more fun when you're

200
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:15.320
walking down the path accompanied. So once your company me

201
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:20.759
all right, thanks for listening, We'll see you again.
