You've been blowing out birthday candles and tossing coins into fountains your whole life. Turns out, you weren't just being superstitious. You were running an experiment in quantum physics, neuroscience, anthropology, and behavioral science simultaneously, and you had absolutely no idea.

About This Episode
Brownell Landrum calls herself an "Explorer of Metaphysical Mystery," and she's earned the title. After spending years synthesizing research from 70+ scientists across a dozen disciplines, she wrote The Art and Science of Wishing, an 879-page deep dive into the mechanics behind something most of us dismiss as childlike fantasy. She's a storyteller, not a scientist, which means she translates all of it into something you can actually use.

In this conversation, Brownell joins Will and Karen to break down the neuroscience, psychology, and yes, quantum physics behind one of humanity's oldest rituals. No vision boards required.

What You'll Hear

  • The surprisingly clear distinction between a wish, a prayer, and a goal, and why it actually matters when you're trying to get what you want
  • What a "cosmic wish" is, and the specific shift that separates wishful thinking from something that works
  • The four possible responses to any wish you make. yes is only one of them, and honestly not always the best one
  • Why repeating a wish isn't magical thinking. it's neuroplasticity, and there's hard science behind why it rewires your brain toward what you want
  • The "three Ps" framework Brownell uses to structure a wish so your brain can actually act on it
  • Why your body might be doing more of the wishing than your conscious mind, and what the Huna tradition says about making peace with that
  • The Global Consciousness Project, collective wishing, and the genuinely unsettling question of whether thousands of people wishing for the same thing could move the needle on reality
Brownell also wrote an entire chapter specifically for skeptics. Will found it. He felt seen.

Listen If You've Ever Thought:
"I know this is probably nonsense, but I still make wishes anyway."

That instinct might be smarter than you think. This episode won't ask you to believe harder. It'll show you the mechanism, and let you decide what to do with it.

Subscribe, leave a review, and if someone in your life is quietly fascinated by this stuff but too skeptical to admit it, send them this episode. It was basically made for them.

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.

00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:04.679
Karen, Yes, when was the last time that you blew

2
00:00:04.679 --> 00:00:06.599
out birthday candles.

3
00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.919
In one breath? Or like twenty How.

4
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:13.599
About tossing a coin into a fountain?

5
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:16.320
You know it's been a while. It's been a while,

6
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:17.039
but I like doing that.

7
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.600
Shooting this of seeing a shooting star making a wish.

8
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:22.719
And I have not seen a shooting star in a

9
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.600
very long time. But I make lots of wishes, but

10
00:00:24.600 --> 00:00:26.079
you've done all of the time. I have done all

11
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:28.000
of them. Okay, well it turned me emphatically.

12
00:00:28.079 --> 00:00:30.960
Well, it turns out that you have been running a

13
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.759
multidisciplinary scientific experiment every single time that you had no

14
00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:36.320
idea about it.

15
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:41.679
I keep telling you I'm smart you not by you,

16
00:00:41.759 --> 00:00:43.719
I mean you in a general sense.

17
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:46.840
We all have been doing that. Our guest today says

18
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.560
that every time that we make a wish, we're simultaneously

19
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:56.520
engaging quantum physics, neuroscience, anthropology, and behavioral science all at once.

20
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:58.640
I knew you'd be excited about that, and if we

21
00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:01.759
do it consciously, we might just be able to make

22
00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:06.280
those wishes come true, stronger, faster, better. Karen, Apparently it

23
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.640
seems we have the technology. She also wrote an entire

24
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:13.519
chapter Karen in her book specifically for skeptics, and I

25
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:18.239
feel so seen another question on the table today. Could

26
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.680
thousands of people wishing for the same thing at the

27
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:24.239
same time actually change the world? I don't know if

28
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:26.359
I believe that, but I also didn't know I was

29
00:01:26.400 --> 00:01:29.680
practicing quantum physics at birthday party, so clearly my expertise

30
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:32.920
has its limits. We're diving into the science of wishes

31
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:37.359
on this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians. My name is

32
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.280
Will and I'm Garen, and unlike moulderin Scully.

33
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:40.879
Both want to believe.

34
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:42.879
So we've embarked in a journey of discovery.

35
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.519
We've talked to people deeply entrenched in the spiritual and

36
00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:46.400
metaphysical world.

37
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:49.760
We've thrown ourselves into weird and wonderful experiences. I even

38
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:50.599
joined a coven.

39
00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.000
Of witches and wait, you joined a coven?

40
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.439
Yep? All knee interests of fighting something, anything that will

41
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:58.920
prove that there's something beyond this physical.

42
00:01:58.599 --> 00:01:59.519
Three dimensional world.

43
00:01:59.560 --> 00:02:11.360
Well, this is the Skeptic Metapositions Caring. Yes, we're doing

44
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.599
some live shows and we'd love you to be involved

45
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.719
with it. Every second Tuesday of the month, we'll be

46
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:19.759
going live to New Reality TV, on our YouTube channel,

47
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.840
on our Facebook page. So if you aren't connected to

48
00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:26.319
us through any of those platforms, we strongly urge you

49
00:02:26.360 --> 00:02:29.199
to do so because we want you to come and

50
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.759
participate in the show. You can ask those questions. It'll

51
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.360
be just carry and I talking. Maybe once in a

52
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:36.280
while we'll bring in a special guest to talk to you.

53
00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:36.439
Guys.

54
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:38.360
You can ask them questions as well. It'll be a

55
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.120
lot of fun, very interactive and engaging.

56
00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:42.199
And some many of you have asked questions on our website.

57
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:44.520
That's way you could ask us kind of in person

58
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:45.800
and we can answer right away.

59
00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:49.479
Absolutely, So don't forget. It's every second Tuesday of the

60
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.680
month on our YouTube and Facebook pages as well as

61
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.919
on New Reality TV. We are excited to get to

62
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.080
know you more and more, and we're excited to have

63
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:07.080
an opportunity to interact with you. So make sure you're there. Hey, there,

64
00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:09.400
I'm Will and I'm hearing you are listening to the

65
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:12.560
skeptic metaphysicians. And if you wished that we had come

66
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.560
back sooner, according to our guest today, that was actually

67
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.039
neuroscience that you were doing.

68
00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:17.919
And here we are.

69
00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:22.439
She he's a storyteller, an inventor, a songwriter, a novelist,

70
00:03:22.520 --> 00:03:27.240
a children's book author, a podcast Owsen somehow also finds

71
00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:31.199
it time to spend years researching over seventy scientists across

72
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:34.439
a dozen disciplines just to figure out what actually happens

73
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.199
when you make a wish, which honestly is exactly the

74
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:39.199
kind of energy we were hoping to bring into the

75
00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.319
MOO today. Now, she's not here to tell you to

76
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:44.280
cop your hands and believe harder. She's here to show

77
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:46.199
you that the thing that you have been doing at

78
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:49.800
birthday parties and wishing wells your entire life has quantum

79
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:52.520
physics at the core of it. And once you know that,

80
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:56.439
apparently you can't unknow it. So this is your last

81
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.000
chance to back out if you don't want to know,

82
00:03:58.039 --> 00:04:00.520
because it's my pleasure to welcome BROWNO lend them to

83
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.120
the show. How are you doing today?

84
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:05.080
I'm so excited to be here and I'm just I'm

85
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:06.000
ready to have some fun.

86
00:04:06.319 --> 00:04:08.960
Well, we're excited to have you, especially because we've been

87
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:11.319
wishing for a guest like you for a long time.

88
00:04:11.479 --> 00:04:15.680
So wishes do come true. Sorry, quantum physics comes true. Yes,

89
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:19.000
So let's just dive into today. What are you talking about?

90
00:04:19.040 --> 00:04:21.319
Wish is this quantum physical? What are you talking about here?

91
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:22.160
Who am I?

92
00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:25.079
And how did I get here? Which is like we

93
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.720
could go on that tangent if you want.

94
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:27.920
Okay, Well, one thing.

95
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:30.120
I want to start is that I am a storyteller,

96
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:30.959
not a scientist.

97
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:32.759
Okay, So I'm not.

98
00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:34.720
Going to be able to do. I mean, let's I

99
00:04:34.759 --> 00:04:36.639
open up my book and start searching, like all the

100
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:40.560
exact science sources. But I do quite over seventy scientists

101
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:43.639
in my book, over four hundred research attributions. I mean,

102
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.759
if you want to go deep on the science, then

103
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.920
it's there. But I'm a storyteller. And so what happened

104
00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.680
was I was writing, and when you talk about metaphysics,

105
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:55.959
I'm like, my kind of other moniker is explorer of

106
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.600
metaphysical mystery. So that's kind of one of the other

107
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.839
kind of catchphrases for what I do. And I've written

108
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:06.600
fiction and nonfiction. I've written like my year and a

109
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.759
half ago, I published a trilogy of novels that's this

110
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:13.199
epic reincarnation mystery and love story about a famous couple

111
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.839
from history reincarnated today to a fellow prophecy that'll change

112
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:19.000
the world, like you know, that kind of thing. So

113
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:21.079
you know, we can go off into all kinds of

114
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:23.680
metaphysical stuff. And that's kind of what a lot of

115
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:27.439
people know me for. And then I published a book

116
00:05:27.720 --> 00:05:31.600
about six months ago that's semi autobiographical and it's called

117
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:36.040
A Love Story to the Universe. And what happened when

118
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.639
I was writing that book? And you're going, where is

119
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:39.160
she going off on this tangent? What does that have

120
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:41.000
to do with wishes? But I'll get there.

121
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.000
I'm sure eventually they'll come around with you. I'm just

122
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:43.720
I'm very pat.

123
00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:45.199
Sure, you know, I mean, my mind can go a

124
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.600
lot of places, but it'll come around.

125
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:47.879
Is.

126
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:51.040
But that one was a semi on a biographical and

127
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.519
I was writing the book. Since y'all learned to metaphysics,

128
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:56.279
you'll probably enjoyed this whole thing. Is I was writing

129
00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:57.639
and I thought, well, I'm going to write it from

130
00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:00.160
the point of view of what I call the upstairs,

131
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:03.199
like these guides whatever you want to call them, and

132
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:06.639
I call them guides and traffic angels. And I'll explain

133
00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:09.120
if you've never heard that saying, I've never heard anybody

134
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.560
else use it. But it's something I kind of, you know,

135
00:06:11.600 --> 00:06:14.079
came up with. Basically, what a traffic angel does is like,

136
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:16.759
if you're here and somebody else is here, they want

137
00:06:16.800 --> 00:06:17.319
you to go here.

138
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:23.959
They hit all the logistics, so yeah, well yeah, and

139
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:24.600
they're like yeah.

140
00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:27.040
And I also think of guides like border collies, like

141
00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:28.879
they're going to keep whacking in the side.

142
00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:33.720
Back on dragon. You want to go, They're going to

143
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:35.160
keep hitting you until you do.

144
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:37.319
Right. So I'm writing this and I think, Okay, I'm

145
00:06:37.319 --> 00:06:39.000
going to write this story and then I think I'm

146
00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:39.920
going to write it from the point of.

147
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:40.680
View the upstairs.

148
00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:43.839
So if you're that team up there looking down at

149
00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.639
I call her Noll, like, you know, really veiled, you know,

150
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:49.839
version of me. How do you get an American woman

151
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:52.560
living in Colorado to meet a British man in Tunisia?

152
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:56.600
Like they had to do some logistics of this. And

153
00:06:56.680 --> 00:06:59.639
so it's a whimsical, kind of magical realism kind of story.

154
00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:02.480
And it's written in four parts because life kind of

155
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.639
works that way. And as I was writing the fourth part,

156
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.079
I was going to kind of a personal experience with

157
00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:10.920
wishing and wishes I thought, I'm going to write about

158
00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:14.160
the realm upstairs where wishes what happens with wishes. So

159
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:18.079
again it's magical realism kind of you know, fantasy world.

160
00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:21.519
And as a writer, when you're creating a world, you

161
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.319
have to define the world, right, you have to decide, okay,

162
00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:26.199
well what is a wish? And how are wiches answered?

163
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.680
And how how would it all work up there? So

164
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.079
I'm in that mindset and then I'm going to explain

165
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:33.399
to you. I don't know how much y'all know about

166
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.560
the default mode network, but that'll that's really like you're

167
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:39.120
going to love that part again, the science, right, but

168
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.480
I'm listening one night, I'm listening to a lecture on neuroplasticity,

169
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:47.839
and I was like, is there science and wishing? It's

170
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:51.360
there science and wishing. So that led to this game

171
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:54.439
of cosmic whackable where like sciences would just popping up

172
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.560
all over the place and it just and that's what

173
00:07:57.680 --> 00:07:59.399
it led me to write this book.

174
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:03.519
You know, cut up shameless plug the Artist is of Wishing.

175
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:04.839
And you can say it's pretty thick.

176
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:09.000
I mean there's a lot of that's a lot of writing.

177
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:10.160
And I think it was like ninety.

178
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:11.199
Four hundred attributions.

179
00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:12.759
You have to go online to find those because I

180
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.000
was waste you know trees too.

181
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.079
You were nice enough to send me a digital copy,

182
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:19.680
and when I saw it was eight hundred and seventy

183
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.240
nine pages, I thought, no, not, not going to read

184
00:08:22.279 --> 00:08:23.639
the whole thing before I am able to do the

185
00:08:23.680 --> 00:08:25.439
interview with her. So I read as much as I could,

186
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:27.720
but I couldn't read the whole thing yet, So I thought.

187
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:28.600
It reads really fast.

188
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:30.720
But the thing I wanted you to see was the

189
00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:36.159
chapter on fun with skeptics, and so it is because

190
00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:38.600
and so that's what happened is I was I was

191
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:40.480
doing this world building, and then I saw all these

192
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:42.480
sciences and that led me to.

193
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:42.440
To write this.

194
00:08:42.519 --> 00:08:44.000
But I had to do thing things like I had

195
00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:46.240
decide what's the difference between a wish, a.

196
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:47.000
Prayer, and a goal?

197
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.440
Right, and a lot of people asking me like, well,

198
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:53.279
how does where does manifesting kind of fall into that?

199
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:55.399
I know you did the show on that and don't

200
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.600
let me forget to bring up two things that you

201
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:59.799
all brought up on that show. One was your neck.

202
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:01.840
Talked about your neck and I want to ask you

203
00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.200
about your neck. Oh yeah, let me interrupt and ask

204
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.919
is it better since that show or is it still

205
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:08.240
something that's you're dealing with.

206
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:10.320
So it's still something I'm dealing with. But I will

207
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:13.000
tell you this, I have in my meditation. Sometimes I'll

208
00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:15.000
wake up with the stiff neck, and I meditate the

209
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.519
first thing in the morning, and when I have that

210
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.320
stiff neck, I will do what she said. You're talking

211
00:09:19.320 --> 00:09:21.600
about Christy who said told us that we had a

212
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:23.279
chakra on the back of our head, the back of

213
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:25.840
the neck, right, So so I do open it up

214
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.559
and allow the pressure to release, and it does help

215
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:32.399
with my headaches when it's happening, but I can't keep

216
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:34.840
it open, so ineverthy always comes back. That's a PA.

217
00:09:34.960 --> 00:09:37.879
So let's see if we can address that. We'll wish

218
00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:39.679
for that. We'll see if we've got at least in

219
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:42.960
some way another. Like I was telling you, like she

220
00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:44.840
saw things a certain way and then I'm like looking

221
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:46.639
at the same thing a little bit different, but it's

222
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:47.679
the same, you know.

223
00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:48.720
It's not conflicting.

224
00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:51.639
And you talked about you looking at your body as

225
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:54.559
an entity and that you actually kind of equated it

226
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:55.000
to a dog.

227
00:09:55.039 --> 00:09:56.799
I don't know if you remember that, Yeah, like a pet,

228
00:09:57.200 --> 00:09:58.679
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, So we could.

229
00:09:58.519 --> 00:10:00.919
Come back to all that because that into this. So

230
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:03.200
I had to decide what's the wish difference between a

231
00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:06.799
wish prayer and a goal, how our wishes answered and

232
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:10.200
you know, and then like what are the factors? Because

233
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:13.440
what I the whole premise of the book is that

234
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:15.480
you know, we all know what a wish is, right,

235
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.399
and when we're going to get to anthropology, which you've

236
00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:21.480
lit up on, is that. But I talked about the

237
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.039
difference between a wish and a cosmic wish too, So

238
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:26.960
I'm gonna throw that out there because I don't want

239
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:28.039
to be the rambling guest.

240
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.720
I want you all to tell me what's for you

241
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:33.320
and then I'll go in whatever direction. But that's some

242
00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:34.600
of the things that kind of.

243
00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.120
One thing that popped up from me is when you

244
00:10:37.159 --> 00:10:39.240
were talking about how the universe kind of like you know,

245
00:10:39.320 --> 00:10:41.480
bumps you into the right direction, like the traffic angels.

246
00:10:42.080 --> 00:10:44.480
That is how we met. We were in the same

247
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:46.960
place at the same time, like in different parts of

248
00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:47.279
the world.

249
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:49.480
Many times I wouldn't say that's how we met, that's

250
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:50.600
how we were supposed to have.

251
00:10:50.960 --> 00:10:52.960
No, it like bumped us into where we you know,

252
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:56.440
because it started like in New York. We were both

253
00:10:56.480 --> 00:10:59.080
of this Michael Jackson concert. I lived in Florida and

254
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.879
he lived in Meticut, so that was kind of random.

255
00:11:02.519 --> 00:11:06.600
Never met. We were both in Athens during the Olympics

256
00:11:07.679 --> 00:11:12.080
same time. Never met, and then when we finally did meet,

257
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:15.120
we had a lot of we had friends in common.

258
00:11:15.320 --> 00:11:17.480
Though we lived in separate cities, like an hour or

259
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:19.000
and a half away from each other.

260
00:11:19.039 --> 00:11:21.799
That we didn't know Like, I didn't meet him through friends, right.

261
00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.919
We met when on a date, a couple of dates,

262
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:26.639
run into a bunch of my friends and they're saying

263
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.559
hello to him, and I'm like.

264
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:29.240
How you know?

265
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:32.159
So that just I don't know, that just popped up

266
00:11:32.200 --> 00:11:33.519
for me when you said that.

267
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:35.679
And that I mean, that's I mean again, we can

268
00:11:35.720 --> 00:11:38.039
go off into the metaphysical stuff because I'm come back

269
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:39.840
to the you know, we'll go anywhere you want to go.

270
00:11:40.039 --> 00:11:43.240
But that is so interesting, and I do think that happens, right,

271
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:45.240
I think that, you know, like I said, we go

272
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.519
off on a little bit of a tangent, but I

273
00:11:46.600 --> 00:11:51.559
think that free will happens in two places. It happens

274
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.559
before we're born, and that's when we're sort of planning

275
00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.559
out our life and we're saying, Okay, we're going to

276
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.240
meet sometime. You know, you all decided in advance. You

277
00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.559
know you're going to circle around at the right time, right,

278
00:12:02.600 --> 00:12:04.440
and timing is a big part of wishing.

279
00:12:04.519 --> 00:12:05.720
By the way, I'll come back to that.

280
00:12:06.159 --> 00:12:09.279
And then and then and so you kind of before

281
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:10.960
I look at it kind of like a roadmap, and

282
00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:13.320
this map is drawn before we're here. And then we

283
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.639
get here and we're like, do we zoom to that intersection?

284
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.159
Do we miss that connection? Do we have to keep

285
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:20.759
going right? You know, over and over again to get

286
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:22.799
we get the lesson? Do we take the high road

287
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.159
at the low road? You know, do we go off road?

288
00:12:25.159 --> 00:12:27.399
Which I think we can. And that's where the other

289
00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.279
free will comes in. So so I might you know,

290
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:32.120
to me, it sounds like your story was, yeah, you

291
00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:36.480
decided and then somewhere like I'm talking when you should

292
00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:38.039
write it as a story from the point of view

293
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.240
of your guides, because your guys are like again.

294
00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:44.919
I mean, how much like you know they're at the

295
00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:46.440
same session, stand.

296
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.120
The same bumped into each other.

297
00:12:49.120 --> 00:12:51.240
The bathroom instead like what are we doing here?

298
00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:53.519
Like it sounds like a script for a movie.

299
00:12:53.559 --> 00:12:58.399
Actually, I mean It really could be a fun story.

300
00:12:59.320 --> 00:13:02.200
Really, you know, do those those traffic angels had to

301
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:03.879
do some work for you and they're probably like.

302
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:06.879
And whether they could take a break.

303
00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:08.879
Yeah, they're they're smoking a cigarette, having a beer.

304
00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.159
And I never wanted to get married. That was not

305
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:16.039
in my life plan. It wasn't a goal nothing. And

306
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:18.360
I would have married him two weeks after we met.

307
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.000
So yeah, so I mean, when you got.

308
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:25.559
It, what would have didn't?

309
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:26.720
Never mind?

310
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.679
All right, So what is the difference between a wish

311
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:31.519
and manifesting?

312
00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:34.080
Okay? Well, let me get to the wish of prayer

313
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:34.919
and a goal? Okay?

314
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.519
Can I can I come a little earlier than that

315
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:40.120
because that that kind of sets the framework, right, I mean,

316
00:13:40.159 --> 00:13:41.360
what do you think I'm going to ask you? What

317
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:42.919
do you think of the difference is between a wish,

318
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:46.159
a prayer and a goal. I'm not so much on

319
00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:47.919
the spot, but y'all are probably okay with that.

320
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:50.919
Well, yeah, I know, I know the a prayer has

321
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:52.559
a wing because we alreays say on a wing and

322
00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:53.240
a prayer.

323
00:13:53.639 --> 00:13:55.360
Well, I think a goal is something you feel like

324
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.799
you can just accomplish on your own, a.

325
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:00.320
Prayer or something that is answered or not by a

326
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:02.200
divine being.

327
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.399
But that you think could really happen maybe, And the

328
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:07.960
wish is maybe more like a.

329
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:08.879
A wish is something that you try to make happen

330
00:14:08.960 --> 00:14:11.080
by blowing out birthday candles.

331
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:14.480
Yeah, that you really don't think you could make it happen.

332
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:16.799
You don't think you Every time I wish, I'm like,

333
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:18.720
it's better, it's better happening.

334
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.120
Well, I had some crazy wishes come true and you

335
00:14:21.159 --> 00:14:24.039
know that, but I think I thought they were far fetched.

336
00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:25.279
I feel like a wish is more of like a

337
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:28.159
far fetched thing. Okay, so to try to get I

338
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:30.879
think a prayer is something that like you could see it,

339
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:33.399
you can't make it happen for whatever reason. So you're

340
00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:35.480
praying for help to make that happen. And then a

341
00:14:35.480 --> 00:14:36.960
goal is something you're like, yeah, I can do that.

342
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:38.519
I got to just wake up early and do it.

343
00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:39.240
How close is she?

344
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:40.840
I think you all are right on the mark.

345
00:14:40.919 --> 00:14:44.440
I'll use my words, but it's the same thing you're saying,

346
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.159
which is like a goal is something in your control, right,

347
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:49.440
It's like I can do this, like you said, and

348
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:52.399
you can set a plan and it's something for you

349
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.399
to do now. Not all of life is completely in

350
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.320
your control. But let's just say you know it's in

351
00:14:56.360 --> 00:14:58.840
your control, and a prayer is something way outside of

352
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:01.080
your control. Right, It's like, I can't do anything about this.

353
00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:04.519
I have to appeal to some sort of outside source,

354
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:07.759
and I'm going to kind of preempt myself and just say.

355
00:15:07.759 --> 00:15:09.919
One of the things I love about wishing is you

356
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:12.840
don't you can be you know, we talk about skeptics.

357
00:15:12.840 --> 00:15:17.480
You can be a religious, complete skeptic, agnostic, atheist, or

358
00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:20.399
just like skeptic about any of it and still be

359
00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:23.720
into this wishing thing because of the science, right, I

360
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:25.879
mean that, like the science kind of validates it. And

361
00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:29.000
then you can be super religious or you can be

362
00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.159
super spiritual this and it all kind of pulls everybody

363
00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:36.120
together because everyone everywhere wishes right. And that's what you

364
00:15:36.159 --> 00:15:38.559
said at the beginning, like we all do it. We've

365
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:41.159
all done it since the beginning of time. Humanity has

366
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:45.600
wished right. So and you also brought up the power

367
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:49.320
of the ritual right when it comes to wish right.

368
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:51.799
So it's something that prompts you, whether it's a time

369
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:55.600
on the clock or birthday cake or something, you have

370
00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:58.759
something that does that. And so one of the things

371
00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.279
that I really want to get to in this world

372
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:03.559
is to bring back collective wishing because I think we

373
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.200
have lost that power or we're not using it as.

374
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:08.000
Much as we could.

375
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.720
Like you mentioned, like a thousand people, you know, what

376
00:16:10.799 --> 00:16:13.639
would happen if we got could we change the world? Right?

377
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:16.759
And and and and and In the olden days, in

378
00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:19.080
the beginning of time, they get together and have wishing

379
00:16:19.159 --> 00:16:23.000
rituals for rain or you know, for different kinds of

380
00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:25.200
things that the community would wish for, and they'd all

381
00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:28.799
be wishing together and and and So I have some

382
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:30.399
stories and I can come back to that as well

383
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:31.519
as like I do.

384
00:16:31.559 --> 00:16:36.759
But I'm going to ask you all. You a gemini? Yeah,

385
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:43.559
you are because because your mind is you're you're going

386
00:16:43.639 --> 00:16:46.399
all away. I'm a Gemini. Also, that's why I recognize it,

387
00:16:46.519 --> 00:16:49.039
because our brain works similarly. We're like, oh, in this

388
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:51.360
and this and this and this is so let's let's

389
00:16:51.440 --> 00:16:52.080
backtrack this.

390
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:54.120
Yeah, that's why I'm trying to slow down and y'all

391
00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:55.919
guide me. But that the wish and the prey and

392
00:16:56.000 --> 00:16:58.519
the goal, the wish is something in between, right, It's

393
00:16:58.519 --> 00:16:59.240
somewhere in the middle.

394
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:01.039
So you are kind you were you were hovering in

395
00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:04.839
that arena right when you're saying, and so because it's

396
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:06.960
you know that some of it's out of your control, right,

397
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:09.200
you release it once you blown the candles. And by

398
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:12.799
the way, there's really interesting history of like using breath

399
00:17:12.839 --> 00:17:16.200
and air and the elements with wishes and wishing rituals.

400
00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:17.599
So there's some cool stuff on that.

401
00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:21.920
So but you keep dropping stuff that we give me

402
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:25.319
a second because because I want to go down all

403
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:27.079
those rabbit holes, every single one. And I'm going to

404
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:32.400
forget because you I'm a Gemini like you, right, sorry,

405
00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:34.799
go ahead, Yeah, I'm.

406
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.599
Trying to circle. I'm just saying, there's so much cool

407
00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:37.200
stuff to it.

408
00:17:37.720 --> 00:17:39.839
No, too much, too much cool stuff, too.

409
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:44.079
Much, I know. And so they so anyway, the wish.

410
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:47.279
So my whole premise in the book is how do

411
00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:48.839
you turn a wish into a cas what I call

412
00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:52.000
a cosmic wish? And that's and you mentioned that earlier,

413
00:17:52.240 --> 00:17:54.720
is by applying the science, because the more you understand

414
00:17:54.759 --> 00:17:57.200
the science of wishes, the more you can bring more

415
00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:57.880
in your control.

416
00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.000
So wait, what's the difference between a wish and a cosmic.

417
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:02.119
Is when you add the science.

418
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.519
Well, college wish is a scientific wish.

419
00:18:04.440 --> 00:18:06.519
Is when you start adding the sciences.

420
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.279
Right, okay, all right, and so when.

421
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:13.039
You understand the science of neuroscience or neuroplasticity, or the

422
00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:17.680
anthropology and history, or the sociology or the psychology, you know,

423
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:21.400
motivation science, like there's all kinds of quanta physics, all

424
00:18:21.440 --> 00:18:24.000
those things help you go, Okay, now I know how

425
00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:25.920
to activate this. I know how to wish a certain

426
00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:28.160
way to get results. I know what to wish for

427
00:18:28.359 --> 00:18:29.480
to get certain results.

428
00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:31.000
I know how to do it.

429
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:34.400
We're talking manifesting. Then at that point, right, quantum wishing

430
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:36.000
could be considered manifestation.

431
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:39.680
It depends on how you define manifesting. I like the

432
00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:43.720
idea of wishing. First of all, manifest doesn't. Testing does

433
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:45.599
have a lot of nuances to it from a lot

434
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:46.839
of perspectives, right.

435
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:50.559
And wishing is so it depends on your point of view.

436
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:52.839
There are some I have a chapter actually in the

437
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:54.839
book about how.

438
00:18:54.960 --> 00:18:57.960
Love attraction people have taken Ye, yeah.

439
00:18:58.079 --> 00:19:00.359
Did you see it? Like you got that chapter.

440
00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.440
It can have the downside, right, There can be a

441
00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.839
downside where like well, you didn't want it bad enough,

442
00:19:07.920 --> 00:19:09.640
or you didn't do your vision board, or you didn't

443
00:19:09.640 --> 00:19:11.440
do this and that's why it didn't happen, and it's

444
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.319
all your fault because you could have made it happen.

445
00:19:13.359 --> 00:19:15.319
And I do love the fact that you call on

446
00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:18.480
the book the you know, how can how cruel it

447
00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:24.160
is to feel that someone is definitely ill because it

448
00:19:24.279 --> 00:19:26.559
means something that they brought them upon themselves, that kind

449
00:19:26.599 --> 00:19:26.960
of stuff.

450
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:29.200
So that's exactly right, that's exactly r.

451
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:29.920
Yeah.

452
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:33.720
So that's so that's why I hesitate to connect it

453
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.720
because there's that that r around it. And a lot

454
00:19:37.720 --> 00:19:40.599
of times manifestation is I did the vision board and

455
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:45.279
it's happened. It's already happened. It's like well or or

456
00:19:45.480 --> 00:19:49.240
it's it's got one answer and that's yes, right. And

457
00:19:49.480 --> 00:19:51.799
if you saw in the book there's four responses.

458
00:19:51.319 --> 00:19:53.119
Tool wish, that's right, that's right.

459
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:57.319
So before the response is quick question, Yeah, quick question.

460
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:01.880
Here we go.

461
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:04.079
That's a quick question, right.

462
00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:06.079
I mean, I'm a cancer, but I can be too.

463
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.319
We're going to get to the emotional shop. That's important.

464
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:13.000
Okay. So when you think about a wish, you know,

465
00:20:13.039 --> 00:20:14.880
you say make a wish, and you make it and

466
00:20:14.920 --> 00:20:17.000
you put it out there and that's your wish, and

467
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:19.119
then you think about at least my understanding manifesting, you

468
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:21.359
kind of have to be in that space for like

469
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:24.440
a lot a long time until it happens. So is

470
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:28.400
that like with just with wishing, can you just wish once?

471
00:20:29.079 --> 00:20:31.200
Or do you have to keep wishing that wish over

472
00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:31.960
and over again?

473
00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.519
This is where the science comes in, yes, right, and

474
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.240
the science of neuroplasticity says, yes, you have to repeat

475
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:40.680
it because and because the way you're got you're trying

476
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:43.440
to retrain your brain to do some things when when

477
00:20:43.480 --> 00:20:46.319
you're making that wish. And so that's where the ritual

478
00:20:46.519 --> 00:20:49.039
is really fun. And that's where like I'm doing these

479
00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:52.680
wish circles and one person's ritual one wish circles ritual

480
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:54.839
is every time you see a mirror, that's when you

481
00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:57.559
make the wish. Or some people have a certain time

482
00:20:57.680 --> 00:21:00.000
or somebody's doing a wish circle on wish the world

483
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:03.400
was better place for animals, and then they're all wishing

484
00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.680
for every time to hear or see an animal, they're

485
00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:06.799
going to be making that wish.

486
00:21:07.119 --> 00:21:09.400
See, Karen, I wasn't just looking myself in the mirror

487
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:09.839
every time.

488
00:21:11.400 --> 00:21:12.880
I don't want the birthday thing to be the wish

489
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:14.839
because I want it having birthdays over and over again.

490
00:21:16.599 --> 00:21:17.839
Those are good rituals.

491
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:20.279
Like you know, there's a lot of near's rituals and

492
00:21:20.440 --> 00:21:23.920
it's fascinating. In every culture around the world has different

493
00:21:23.960 --> 00:21:25.359
kinds of rituals around wishing.

494
00:21:25.359 --> 00:21:26.359
It's it's fascinating.

495
00:21:26.880 --> 00:21:29.960
And but the ones you can do every day, like

496
00:21:30.079 --> 00:21:31.960
every time I'm brushing my teeth or when I wake

497
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:34.279
up in the morning or whatever that is, because what

498
00:21:34.359 --> 00:21:37.200
that does in your brain is and so a lot

499
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:39.559
of times manifestation is you did it and it's done,

500
00:21:39.640 --> 00:21:42.000
and you're living that moment as if it already happened. Well,

501
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.559
there's some downsides to that psychologically, so you need to

502
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:48.039
be able to see yourself happening and then you then

503
00:21:48.079 --> 00:21:50.519
it let it, need to let it go because if

504
00:21:50.559 --> 00:21:53.920
you saw in the chapter on the downsides, people actually

505
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.279
they have a higher foreclosure rate on homes because they

506
00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:58.960
bought the house saying I already see that house happening,

507
00:21:59.000 --> 00:22:00.519
so I can afford it. And I don't have the

508
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.279
money now, but I'll make it. And the four responses

509
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:09.000
come in right right, So neuroplasticity, can I just fish

510
00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:11.680
You're gonna say, I just want to finish this that

511
00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:14.319
when you repeat it, what happens is that it activates

512
00:22:14.319 --> 00:22:16.279
what's called the reticular activating system.

513
00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:17.200
Are you familiar with that?

514
00:22:17.519 --> 00:22:18.880
I am, yes, Yeah.

515
00:22:19.119 --> 00:22:23.160
So what I'm finding an answer, I'm going to find

516
00:22:23.160 --> 00:22:23.640
the answer.

517
00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:25.839
If I want this thing, I'm going to if I

518
00:22:25.880 --> 00:22:27.799
want a world a better place for animals, I'm going

519
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:29.240
to be looking for ways to make with the world

520
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:31.119
a better place for animals. And we're going to be

521
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:33.039
doing that together, and we're going to be jamming on that,

522
00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:35.400
and we're going to come up with some really cool ideas.

523
00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:38.440
Not just oh poof, it happened right right.

524
00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:41.119
It's like it's like AI these days where you say, okay,

525
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:42.799
I need you to go do something for me, and

526
00:22:42.839 --> 00:22:44.200
it just goes off and does it while you do

527
00:22:44.200 --> 00:22:45.680
the other stuff. You come back and it's already done.

528
00:22:45.680 --> 00:22:47.759
It's like you're programming your brain to go do the

529
00:22:47.839 --> 00:22:49.640
thing while you're all while you're living life.

530
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:52.079
That's why you see me leaving the house with like

531
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:55.000
a big sack of coins. I'm just going to the mountain.

532
00:22:56.599 --> 00:22:59.119
Every day every day. Okay, well, what do you do?

533
00:22:59.599 --> 00:23:02.279
I'm going to right depending in that quarters.

534
00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:05.480
All right, well, then let's go over the four responses.

535
00:23:05.480 --> 00:23:07.160
Because we've touched on it a bunch of times, we

536
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:09.720
haven't actually told people what the four responses are, but

537
00:23:09.759 --> 00:23:11.359
I know what they are, but I let you.

538
00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:13.039
Talk about it.

539
00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:15.839
So the first one is yes, right, obviously, it's yes,

540
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:18.480
you get the wish. The other one is no, you

541
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:20.759
don't get it. And it actually might be something that's

542
00:23:20.960 --> 00:23:23.119
protecting you, right, it can be something that's right and

543
00:23:23.319 --> 00:23:24.079
the best thing for you.

544
00:23:24.319 --> 00:23:25.839
And they say, be careful what you ask for because

545
00:23:25.839 --> 00:23:26.480
you just might get it.

546
00:23:26.480 --> 00:23:29.279
You might get it exactly right, but it might be

547
00:23:29.319 --> 00:23:30.920
that you don't get it because it's not the right

548
00:23:30.920 --> 00:23:31.359
thing for you.

549
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:32.160
Right.

550
00:23:32.799 --> 00:23:35.680
The third one is weight. It means it's not not

551
00:23:35.720 --> 00:23:38.960
going to happen, but it's just delayed because the timing

552
00:23:39.039 --> 00:23:41.920
isn't right. And then the fourth is something better comes

553
00:23:41.960 --> 00:23:44.160
your way, right, something that you could never have it.

554
00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:47.799
Imagine ever, all of a sudden it comes in better

555
00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:51.000
than you have ever possibly were able to wish. Did

556
00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:51.559
I get them right?

557
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:53.480
You got them totally right? Yes?

558
00:23:54.319 --> 00:23:57.000
And that's where you and that's why it's really interesting

559
00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.680
and fun to look at the nuances right because and

560
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:03.200
that's again the science is behind the nuances as well,

561
00:24:03.599 --> 00:24:07.720
but it's when you sometimes yes isn't the best answer, right,

562
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:12.480
and and sometimes sometimes yes might be like with a

563
00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:14.599
lot of the manifestation, Oh, I wish for that ferrari.

564
00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:16.680
I'm going to have that ferrari in my front driveway.

565
00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:18.440
And then you get it, and then all of a

566
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.039
sudden you're like, the next day lost its jazz.

567
00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:23.920
Right, it's not so exciting anymore.

568
00:24:24.039 --> 00:24:33.920
I mean, your neighbor gets a fancier one the next day.

569
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:32.200
Right, right, and genial all scratch and it's not.

570
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:35.319
So there's some really interesting kind of science again, and

571
00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:37.960
that in terms of how your brain certain things that

572
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:42.079
have more of a lasting effect on your happiness and

573
00:24:42.119 --> 00:24:45.880
satisfaction and everything else. So there's a really fun stuff

574
00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:48.319
in the book about the difference between wants and needs

575
00:24:48.759 --> 00:24:51.559
and getting to that. So again we can go off

576
00:24:51.559 --> 00:24:55.359
on that tangent. But the yes isn't always I knew

577
00:24:55.359 --> 00:24:58.319
we'd have fun. Yes isn't always the best thing, right,

578
00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.960
and it may not be, but you maybe have a

579
00:25:00.079 --> 00:25:00.519
there may be a.

580
00:25:00.559 --> 00:25:02.880
Lesson in all crap, I wanted that and what was

581
00:25:02.920 --> 00:25:06.440
I thinking? Kind of thing? Right? And then no, might

582
00:25:06.519 --> 00:25:08.200
be here's you need more information.

583
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:11.440
You just didn't have enough information, and I did some

584
00:25:12.079 --> 00:25:16.720
impact interesting research research on the power of pivoting. I'm

585
00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:18.599
writing kind of a blog article about that because I

586
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.440
could write five books on the same topic, and I

587
00:25:21.519 --> 00:25:23.839
actually am running a follow up one. But is like,

588
00:25:24.519 --> 00:25:27.079
if you wish for something and it doesn't come true,

589
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:31.880
but that instead of just taking it away and saying no,

590
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:35.480
learning to reframe it and pivot is much more powerful

591
00:25:35.480 --> 00:25:38.200
for your brain because your brain can You're not like

592
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:40.920
having to suffer the loss. You're having to pivot to

593
00:25:41.039 --> 00:25:44.519
maybe something where you're going to be guided to something better.

594
00:25:44.559 --> 00:25:48.440
So it's not like the sour grapes and not the

595
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:51.880
end of the fable with the fox and the sour graps, right,

596
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.440
it's not the sound grapes. You got to pivot.

597
00:25:54.680 --> 00:25:57.519
If you wish for this relationship, a certain relationship or whatever,

598
00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:01.440
and then it doesn't happen, then and then you might go, well,

599
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.880
then I'm never going to meet anybody, right or something,

600
00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:07.519
and your brain shuts that down, and that's not a

601
00:26:07.559 --> 00:26:10.079
happy place, right right, But your brain can get a

602
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:12.079
lot happier going, Okay, what did I get from this?

603
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:14.440
What did I want from the situation? How can I

604
00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:18.000
take those good things and open up my and expand

605
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:22.039
my vision to get more. So and then weight is

606
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:27.160
two aspects of weight. Either it's you're not ready, right,

607
00:26:27.519 --> 00:26:30.319
so either your things, conditions in your life aren't ready,

608
00:26:30.400 --> 00:26:32.759
or maybe you have to do these three things before

609
00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:33.720
you're actually ready.

610
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:37.000
Like if you've got this right now, you'd be overwhelmed.

611
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:39.400
But if you kind of get these little lessons under

612
00:26:39.440 --> 00:26:42.119
the way or these kind of experiences.

613
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:42.440
Then you're more ready.

614
00:26:42.960 --> 00:26:45.960
Or maybe the world's not ready, you know, maybe there's

615
00:26:46.039 --> 00:26:48.200
like there's a whole external like, Okay, I can write

616
00:26:48.240 --> 00:26:50.279
a book now and that doesn't do anything.

617
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:53.279
Two years from now, biggest thing ever write same book.

618
00:26:53.720 --> 00:26:57.279
That's it. So it's their fault, Karen not I knew it.

619
00:26:58.599 --> 00:27:00.079
You just want that's it. That's it.

620
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:02.079
The world wasn't ready and.

621
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:04.640
Then something better, right, And sometimes we fail to look

622
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:06.759
at that. We get so honed in on oh I

623
00:27:06.799 --> 00:27:08.720
have to have that Ferrari. You're like, yeah, but you

624
00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:10.880
might be better off with you know, this kind of

625
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:11.759
car Lamborghini.

626
00:27:12.440 --> 00:27:13.799
Yeah. Right.

627
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:16.680
So in the book, you talk about the fact that

628
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:20.799
wishing is already doing something in your brain before anything happens.

629
00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:23.160
What do you mean by that well.

630
00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:25.680
First is to know how to make a wish.

631
00:27:25.720 --> 00:27:28.480
And I talk about that there's I have a because

632
00:27:28.480 --> 00:27:30.200
I have a bunch of little frameworks in there. But

633
00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:33.400
one is I call the three piece, so that when

634
00:27:33.440 --> 00:27:36.920
you're making the wish, you engage these three piece and

635
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:40.720
then your wish that you're making relates to the three

636
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:46.559
piece and the three piece are peaceful, positive and purposeful. Okay,

637
00:27:46.799 --> 00:27:48.720
So when you're making your wish, if you're making it

638
00:27:48.759 --> 00:27:52.319
from a peaceful place, then your body's engaged. It opens

639
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:56.079
up with creative aspects in your brain that aren't there

640
00:27:56.160 --> 00:27:56.960
under anxiety.

641
00:27:57.759 --> 00:27:58.000
Right.

642
00:27:58.119 --> 00:27:59.880
If you're like, oh, you've got to have wish for this,

643
00:28:00.319 --> 00:28:02.920
that's not exactly the best energy to go into a

644
00:28:02.960 --> 00:28:06.279
wish with, right, And you're not likely to be wishing.

645
00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:08.839
For the most peaceful wish, right.

646
00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:12.519
And so and then a positive and this is really important,

647
00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:15.200
is you're wishing for something and not.

648
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:16.200
Against something else.

649
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:19.079
And a lot of times it's like, oh, I wish

650
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:21.880
my boss, you know, would stop leaving me alone. I've

651
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:24.799
got a children's book, you know, shameless Plug. But in

652
00:28:24.920 --> 00:28:28.720
here there's an example of and I love this one

653
00:28:28.799 --> 00:28:32.000
so much, of a kind of preteen girl and she's

654
00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:35.079
got her younger sister trying to get her attention, you know,

655
00:28:35.200 --> 00:28:37.359
kind of baby sister, and she's like, I wish my

656
00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:40.319
sister would leave me alone. I'm too busy, right, And

657
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:42.680
then she reframes her wish and that's a nate, that's

658
00:28:42.680 --> 00:28:45.559
a wishing against right. It reframes her wish, and they

659
00:28:45.599 --> 00:28:48.400
add the science of like, you know, again, the reticular

660
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:50.920
activating system is one of the things, and she's so

661
00:28:51.000 --> 00:28:54.440
she changes the wish and she says, I wish I

662
00:28:54.480 --> 00:28:55.599
had more time for my sister.

663
00:28:58.200 --> 00:29:00.640
And then she's going to find more time for her sister.

664
00:29:01.200 --> 00:29:03.640
Because more motivation is in the right place.

665
00:29:03.799 --> 00:29:06.279
Your motivation is in a better place, or brain can

666
00:29:06.400 --> 00:29:06.880
work with that.

667
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:09.240
It's like, okay, and then we're going to get to

668
00:29:09.279 --> 00:29:12.039
the dog thing because it ties into that analogy is

669
00:29:12.359 --> 00:29:14.440
where are you physiologically right?

670
00:29:14.680 --> 00:29:18.240
And does that wish feel better? Right? It feels better

671
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:19.839
than the first one, right.

672
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:24.880
And then purposeful is really interesting because when you're wishing

673
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:28.400
for something and you bring people in on it, especially

674
00:29:28.440 --> 00:29:32.599
when you're wishing for other people, then or your wish

675
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:36.440
helps other people. There's something called mirror neurons that click

676
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.319
with other people and you start getting and drawing people.

677
00:29:39.160 --> 00:29:42.400
That are going to help you manifest your wish. Really

678
00:29:42.440 --> 00:29:43.240
beautiful stuff.

679
00:29:43.400 --> 00:29:45.799
Yeah, I like that, And I want to talk about

680
00:29:45.839 --> 00:29:49.640
the Global Consciousness Project later, but first before we do that,

681
00:29:49.799 --> 00:29:52.720
because that's what we're alluding to. But you talk about

682
00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:55.759
the three cells, and I found this really fascinating because

683
00:29:56.079 --> 00:29:59.119
it's not that you don't you say that you don't

684
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:00.599
make a wish, we don't make a wish. It's like

685
00:30:00.920 --> 00:30:01.880
you say a committee.

686
00:30:03.119 --> 00:30:03.680
I like that.

687
00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:05.799
So can you explain that for us?

688
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:07.880
Yeah, that's what I was going to. So I'm glad you.

689
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:10.319
I'm glad you pivoted. See pivot. We talked about.

690
00:30:10.359 --> 00:30:13.440
Maybe I am like Ross, I pivot all the time.

691
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:20.039
About that scene. A lot not is. Yeah.

692
00:30:20.079 --> 00:30:22.720
So you know whether you use the term you know

693
00:30:22.799 --> 00:30:27.799
it ego super ego or subconscious conscious super conscious.

694
00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:30.200
Or mind body spirit because they're the same thing.

695
00:30:30.319 --> 00:30:31.559
I don't know if you saw in there, but my

696
00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:34.039
first book is called Five Reasons Why Bad Things Happen,

697
00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:37.079
And so when people say everything happens for a reason,

698
00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:41.319
it's like, yeah, I wrote the book on it, and

699
00:30:41.920 --> 00:30:45.240
so I stole from myself to write that section because

700
00:30:45.400 --> 00:30:47.160
and I use the terms inner self, out of self,

701
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:49.920
higher self. But when I was writing that, it's all

702
00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:52.519
the same thing. When I was writing, I didn't before that,

703
00:30:52.680 --> 00:30:55.440
I didn't realize that the body is the subconscious.

704
00:30:56.480 --> 00:30:57.799
Body is subconscious.

705
00:30:58.039 --> 00:30:59.680
Your body is your subconscious.

706
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:07.960
That would explain like instinct reactions, right, because sometimes like

707
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:12.839
that whole walking down the dark alleyway and your stomach

708
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:15.759
gets all funky, that your conscious is not is like,

709
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:16.839
it's probably fine.

710
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:21.039
Well, your body, your bread, your your subconscious is taking

711
00:31:21.079 --> 00:31:24.240
in I think it's like eleven million impressions in a minute,

712
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:28.640
and your mind is getting fifty you know, Like so

713
00:31:29.079 --> 00:31:30.960
I mean you're it picks up everything.

714
00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:32.640
So that is exactly right.

715
00:31:32.720 --> 00:31:36.000
And so but when you're realizing that, like and then

716
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:39.000
this is kind of getting in the woo of metaphysics

717
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:42.759
and and belief systems that I can't back up necessarily

718
00:31:42.759 --> 00:31:43.279
with science.

719
00:31:43.359 --> 00:31:45.160
But unless depending on your.

720
00:31:45.160 --> 00:31:47.200
Where you're like how far how woo do you want

721
00:31:47.240 --> 00:31:49.960
to get on your science? But you know, assuming that

722
00:31:50.000 --> 00:31:52.359
you have a soul that existed before you're born, and

723
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:55.039
that soul will exist after you die, right, so there's

724
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:57.799
an everlasting part of you that's your that's your higher

725
00:31:57.839 --> 00:32:01.319
self or what a super conscious whatever and that soul

726
00:32:01.440 --> 00:32:04.960
chooses a body to become you. Right, if your soul

727
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:07.799
and those in my body, it would be different, right,

728
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:08.960
or vice versa or.

729
00:32:08.960 --> 00:32:11.640
Each other, you know, if you chose in each other's body.

730
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:15.680
And so when you start thinking about that, and one

731
00:32:15.680 --> 00:32:19.680
of the five reasons why bad things happen is subconscious sabotage, right,

732
00:32:19.920 --> 00:32:23.640
And it's when your body is not in alignment with

733
00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:29.359
what's going on. Oh yeah, So that's really important to

734
00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:32.680
start understanding, Like, Okay, if you're subconscious your body, then

735
00:32:32.759 --> 00:32:34.240
it lives on this physical world.

736
00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:36.680
It lives by the rules of this pyscical world.

737
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:40.559
It's where genetic memory and all of that come into play. Right,

738
00:32:41.000 --> 00:32:43.200
It's where all the family. You choose that body for

739
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:46.319
a reason for lots of lessons and things like that.

740
00:32:46.359 --> 00:32:48.519
You chose that family, You chose that whole situation.

741
00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:52.039
So when you're making a wish, it's really important that

742
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:56.039
all three selves are in alignment and being served by

743
00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:56.759
the wish.

744
00:32:56.799 --> 00:32:57.680
So how do you do that?

745
00:32:59.160 --> 00:32:59.359
Hey?

746
00:32:59.400 --> 00:33:02.880
There, we have a small ask. We know that there

747
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:05.960
are tons of options out there, and having you decide

748
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:09.119
to come along on our journey of discovery with us, well,

749
00:33:09.119 --> 00:33:12.279
that's an absolute honor for us. But if you know

750
00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:15.000
someone who would benefit from hearing the messages that we

751
00:33:15.039 --> 00:33:17.640
are sharing on the show, won't you do them in

752
00:33:17.839 --> 00:33:20.119
us a favor and share the show with them.

753
00:33:20.799 --> 00:33:21.799
Take a moment right.

754
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:25.759
Now and forward this episode to that person. That's it,

755
00:33:25.880 --> 00:33:27.880
just a simple ask for your help and spreading the word.

756
00:33:28.240 --> 00:33:31.720
We'd appreciate it so much and see, not only will

757
00:33:31.720 --> 00:33:33.720
it help get the word out about us, but it

758
00:33:33.799 --> 00:33:38.559
also might just change someone's life for the better. Hey,

759
00:33:38.599 --> 00:33:41.519
thanks to your help on this. Without further ado, let's

760
00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:45.559
get on to the interview. So how do you do that?

761
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:46.279
Yeah?

762
00:33:46.359 --> 00:33:49.400
Well, first is to get to know your body right

763
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.599
to really make friends. And that's where your other guests

764
00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.000
kind of ventured into this. And this is where you

765
00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:57.839
kind of brought up, Karen, this whole idea of like

766
00:33:57.920 --> 00:34:00.640
your body as a separate entity. And I do talk

767
00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:04.000
about that in my first book. That's really important. In fact,

768
00:34:04.039 --> 00:34:06.640
there's a religion called the Hunah religion. I don't you

769
00:34:06.640 --> 00:34:09.360
know if you know about that, but it's basically the

770
00:34:09.360 --> 00:34:13.719
same three cells kind of framework. They suggest you name

771
00:34:14.119 --> 00:34:15.960
your body.

772
00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:23.159
She is a different name than Karen. Well, and you

773
00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:24.239
can't tell them what it is.

774
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:28.400
They'll tell you just so you know, Like you can't say, well,

775
00:34:28.400 --> 00:34:30.480
I want your butty, my body's name to be this. No,

776
00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:33.880
it'll come like in fact, it's when your default mode

777
00:34:33.880 --> 00:34:34.880
network is going on.

778
00:34:34.960 --> 00:34:36.000
And I'll come back to that.

779
00:34:36.199 --> 00:34:38.920
But it'll come when you're in a shower or wake

780
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:42.440
up or something, when you're not consciously thinking. Your body

781
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:46.360
will tell you their name and I will tell you though.

782
00:34:46.519 --> 00:34:49.039
I always like to get this warning because I had

783
00:34:49.079 --> 00:34:51.639
a friend of mine and I said, okay, yeah, come up,

784
00:34:51.679 --> 00:34:53.519
you name everybody. And she came up and I said,

785
00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:56.119
now you have to listen to her, like once you

786
00:34:56.199 --> 00:35:00.920
open that dialogue, you have to listen. Because she called

787
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.840
me and about two weeks later she's like, okay, something's

788
00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:07.039
going on. I know I locked my front door before

789
00:35:07.079 --> 00:35:08.880
I went to bed, and I woke up and not

790
00:35:08.920 --> 00:35:12.199
only was the door unlocked, it was open. And I

791
00:35:12.280 --> 00:35:15.440
know I set my alarm and my alarm's not set.

792
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:17.679
I mean, your body will do things like that to

793
00:35:17.679 --> 00:35:18.440
get your attention.

794
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:25.639
Okay, that's obnoxious to them if you're not listening, but

795
00:35:25.840 --> 00:35:28.400
they look at it like if noxious, like I'm trying

796
00:35:28.440 --> 00:35:30.960
to get your attention and you're not hearing I have

797
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:32.039
to do like you know.

798
00:35:32.320 --> 00:35:35.039
It's also a little scary though, right, You're not in

799
00:35:35.039 --> 00:35:37.159
control of your own actions at that point.

800
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:39.039
It just means that you have to you have to

801
00:35:39.079 --> 00:35:42.840
be conscious, you have to make that relationship. The more

802
00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.360
you make that relationship with your body, like you said,

803
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:48.400
you treated her like an entity or like a pet

804
00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:51.559
or something, which is so beautiful. In fact, the example

805
00:35:51.760 --> 00:35:53.280
that I give in the book, which I don't know

806
00:35:53.280 --> 00:35:56.840
if you saw this part well, but is I imagine

807
00:35:56.840 --> 00:35:59.639
you see your neighbor walking their dog and the dog

808
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:00.360
runs off.

809
00:36:00.719 --> 00:36:05.440
What usually happens, You freak out, You start running after

810
00:36:05.599 --> 00:36:06.119
chase after it.

811
00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:09.079
Yeah, yeah, chase after it, or you yell at it. Right,

812
00:36:09.800 --> 00:36:12.599
And that's what we often do with our body. Yeah right.

813
00:36:12.960 --> 00:36:13.719
But instead of.

814
00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:15.920
You go to the dog, Hey, it's fun over here.

815
00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:17.480
The dog's going like, yeah, I'll go over.

816
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:20.760
There, Roy, if you start running the opposite direction the

817
00:36:20.800 --> 00:36:22.920
dog over here, or.

818
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.440
With the toddler like they yeah, they fit and they're

819
00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:26.800
like yeah, but look, if there's a dog out the

820
00:36:26.840 --> 00:36:30.079
wind of the dog, toddlers snapped out of it. So

821
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:32.599
it's about making friends, it's about making it fun, and

822
00:36:32.639 --> 00:36:35.039
there's some really interesting science about making it fun. So

823
00:36:35.039 --> 00:36:37.800
if your wish is fun, your body is going to

824
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.159
be aligned with in alignment with it much more.

825
00:36:40.559 --> 00:36:42.599
It really is life changing because I can I mean

826
00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:44.639
I don't. I don't know if you've noticed anything or not,

827
00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:46.480
but for me, I have noticed. I mean it was

828
00:36:46.880 --> 00:36:49.360
in decades looking in the mirror and seeing what was wrong,

829
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:52.360
you know, and now and then I can't. I went

830
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:54.360
through this period and I just had so much like

831
00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:58.760
compassion and I felt so sorry to my body. Yes,

832
00:36:59.119 --> 00:37:01.239
and now I mean and I'm whatever age, i am,

833
00:37:01.320 --> 00:37:03.719
whatever shape I'm in, I'm not trying to lose weight anymore.

834
00:37:03.719 --> 00:37:06.320
And I mean, I want to be healthy. So I'm

835
00:37:06.360 --> 00:37:08.039
watching them want to eat. But it's it's not to

836
00:37:08.119 --> 00:37:11.079
make me look better, right, because that, to me would

837
00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:13.079
be a criticism of my body. And my body's been

838
00:37:13.079 --> 00:37:15.159
trying so hard to make me happy for all these years,

839
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:18.360
and I'm just appreciating that more. And it's it's been

840
00:37:18.400 --> 00:37:19.159
a game changer.

841
00:37:19.559 --> 00:37:21.440
When you said that, I was like, she got it,

842
00:37:21.519 --> 00:37:22.400
she gets it right.

843
00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:24.719
The only difference is maybe a name right that might

844
00:37:24.760 --> 00:37:27.800
help you talking to me. And it's really to the

845
00:37:27.800 --> 00:37:29.519
point of like, what do you want to do today?

846
00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:31.599
You know, how what do you want to eat? And

847
00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:33.840
usually it's going to be something healthy, But if they're

848
00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:35.920
getting back at you, they'll go to the like if

849
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:37.880
you ever had like that doughnut you forgot you eight?

850
00:37:38.039 --> 00:37:41.320
You know, every day, every day, but.

851
00:37:41.280 --> 00:37:43.639
You'll find you did you find that you're more conscious

852
00:37:43.639 --> 00:37:46.119
at eating too, Like when you're eating, you're more aware

853
00:37:46.159 --> 00:37:46.880
of every bite.

854
00:37:47.159 --> 00:37:51.159
Yes, yes, absolutely, of the choices I'm making and and

855
00:37:51.199 --> 00:37:54.480
I'm not really missing the junkie stuff every once in

856
00:37:54.559 --> 00:37:56.079
a while. But but before I used to crave it,

857
00:37:56.119 --> 00:37:57.519
like in the weekend, I'm gonna have this, I'm gonna

858
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.400
have that. And now I'm like, yeah, be kind of

859
00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:01.840
good and I'll have a bite and that's all I need.

860
00:38:02.039 --> 00:38:03.760
What was going to say, Because if you're if you're

861
00:38:03.800 --> 00:38:06.320
allowing her, she's not going to you know, if you're

862
00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:09.159
if you're indulging then and you're saying, okay, what do

863
00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:11.760
you want to do? Then it's like the body feels

864
00:38:11.760 --> 00:38:15.039
like okay, I'm heard and I'm in alignment here. And

865
00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:17.880
so that's again you know, five reasons why your body

866
00:38:17.920 --> 00:38:20.719
is saying, you know, this is not something I want,

867
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:23.599
Like Uh. One of the stories I like to tell

868
00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:26.039
is of a friend who's a workaholic and she was

869
00:38:26.079 --> 00:38:28.400
going to work all weekend. It was a labor day weekend,

870
00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:31.199
and she's going to work the three day weekend and

871
00:38:31.440 --> 00:38:35.559
she goes to a takeout restaurant and she so she can,

872
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:36.800
you know, load up for the weekend.

873
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:38.960
She trips on the curb and twist her ankles. She's

874
00:38:39.000 --> 00:38:42.840
in bed all weekend. That's her body going, hell, no,

875
00:38:43.079 --> 00:38:43.760
I'm not working.

876
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:50.639
Mmm. You might not have heard, might not have heard

877
00:38:50.679 --> 00:38:52.400
the episode When we talked about.

878
00:38:52.199 --> 00:38:54.199
Tony, you should mentions.

879
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:58.599
We were on a first vacation a long time in Europe,

880
00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:02.639
first together, and you're right, And on the second day

881
00:39:02.920 --> 00:39:08.119
of the vacation, I fell and broke my ankle when

882
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:10.159
we were in France. Yeah, so the rest of the

883
00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:14.159
trip I was on crutches and had to take things

884
00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:14.960
very slowly.

885
00:39:15.639 --> 00:39:18.079
So, yes, he had been talking about him slowing down

886
00:39:18.920 --> 00:39:23.280
and he wouldn't and then he did.

887
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:25.639
And you know, and that actually I mean not breaking

888
00:39:25.679 --> 00:39:27.280
an ankle, but a lot of times people go on

889
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:30.159
vacation and that's when they finally get sick, right, Yeah,

890
00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:31.639
because they've been on this adrenaline.

891
00:39:31.639 --> 00:39:33.400
They've been on this push.

892
00:39:32.840 --> 00:39:35.480
And so it's it's so in starting negotiating and say

893
00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:38.079
this is fun over here, you know, to the body.

894
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:41.119
Or like, let's say you have a project due and

895
00:39:41.159 --> 00:39:44.079
you and it's really busy, but you're distracted and popping

896
00:39:44.119 --> 00:39:46.320
around on so you know, especially as geminis right, we

897
00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:48.760
might be popping around all over the place, oh yeah,

898
00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:51.840
and looking for those dopamine hits, right instead of focusing on.

899
00:39:51.840 --> 00:39:55.239
Doing the work. But if you say to our body.

900
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:57.920
Look, hey, if we can get this project done by noon,

901
00:39:58.280 --> 00:40:00.239
I'm going to give you all afternoon to go play,

902
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:02.519
and your body will like, okay, let's hunker down, let's

903
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:03.159
get this thing done.

904
00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:05.599
I'm going to try that because I've got I've got

905
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:08.000
a lot of episodes to edit. So I'm going to say, okay,

906
00:40:08.039 --> 00:40:11.119
we finished fifteen episodes by noon, I'll give you the

907
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:11.840
rest of the day off.

908
00:40:12.519 --> 00:40:14.239
That's it, and make it fun.

909
00:40:14.280 --> 00:40:16.079
Say we're gonna have fun on these episodes too, Like

910
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:17.880
this work is going to be fun. And then I'm

911
00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:20.119
going to reward you with whatever it is you want

912
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:21.840
to do. If it's a walk or if it's a

913
00:40:22.239 --> 00:40:23.000
you know.

914
00:40:22.960 --> 00:40:25.519
What happens what happens if noon comes and goes and

915
00:40:25.519 --> 00:40:29.480
we've got one episode done versus fifteen, then that can't

916
00:40:29.519 --> 00:40:32.800
rewarded for not you know, well.

917
00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:35.440
Honestly, like your wishes, they have to be your goals

918
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:38.840
have to be you know, reasonable and realistic. But you'll

919
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:41.719
find that it's more focused, Right, You'll find yourself much

920
00:40:41.760 --> 00:40:45.320
more focused. And it's part of and I've gotten this

921
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:47.280
is another change and I'll just throw out and we

922
00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:49.880
can come back. But is the whole power of gamification, right,

923
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:53.440
And I have when my my collective wishing program has

924
00:40:53.480 --> 00:40:56.440
gamification where you get points.

925
00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:59.119
And activities and their games and they're fun because that's

926
00:40:59.119 --> 00:41:01.360
where your body's like, I'm going to want to do that, Like.

927
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:04.679
That's or And even if all you do is even

928
00:41:04.719 --> 00:41:07.920
if whatever you're wishing for, whatever it is, if you're

929
00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:11.159
making it in a peaceful, positive and purposeful place, your

930
00:41:11.159 --> 00:41:14.079
body's going to want to do that because that feels good, right, And.

931
00:41:14.039 --> 00:41:16.519
Then you're training your body to at least once a day.

932
00:41:16.440 --> 00:41:19.840
Feel peaceful, positive and purposeful, and that's going to change

933
00:41:19.840 --> 00:41:22.199
your physiological person.

934
00:41:23.599 --> 00:41:24.760
So yeah, that's so.

935
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:26.599
So when when it comes to like your neck you

936
00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:30.719
were talking about, he is ask him, get to know him,

937
00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:34.039
ask his name, and make sure you're listening, and say

938
00:41:34.039 --> 00:41:37.639
what is it? I mean, this is gonna be completely

939
00:41:37.800 --> 00:41:40.079
like a little bit tongue in cheek, but it's certainly

940
00:41:40.079 --> 00:41:40.599
worth asking.

941
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:43.000
It's like, is something or somebody of pain in the neck?

942
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:46.280
Did you just sigh it on me?

943
00:41:46.519 --> 00:41:48.119
I'd never I would never do that.

944
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:49.639
Never.

945
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:53.800
Actually, I will say the when he looked at you

946
00:41:53.920 --> 00:41:55.440
is more like do you know the answer to that?

947
00:41:55.440 --> 00:41:56.239
Because I don't know that.

948
00:41:58.519 --> 00:42:00.599
It wasn't later.

949
00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:05.760
It really was though your look was like yeah, ask

950
00:42:06.320 --> 00:42:08.679
ask so and what is it you know?

951
00:42:09.079 --> 00:42:11.480
That is that you know? And what can I do?

952
00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:14.239
How can I make you happy? What is it going on?

953
00:42:14.920 --> 00:42:17.760
And and and maybe it's okay, you know what we

954
00:42:17.880 --> 00:42:20.639
need to do more stretching, you know, or we need

955
00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:23.039
you know, we need to try this kind of different

956
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:25.159
sleeping position, or we need to do whatever it is.

957
00:42:26.039 --> 00:42:29.039
Ask him. And again, when you have the name, it's

958
00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:30.719
easier because then you can look at it. It's like

959
00:42:30.760 --> 00:42:31.559
a separate entity.

960
00:42:31.880 --> 00:42:36.239
Right. So in your book you talk about spic skepticism

961
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.280
and all that kind of stuff, So I think this

962
00:42:38.360 --> 00:42:40.599
might be an appropriate time to bring that up because

963
00:42:41.000 --> 00:42:47.079
I can't imagine myself talking to my body. Why, because

964
00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:48.559
I'm talking to my body.

965
00:42:48.599 --> 00:42:49.920
You talk to yourself all the time.

966
00:42:50.039 --> 00:42:53.039
It's myself, but your body is yourself. It's a holistic

967
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:54.320
it's my committee.

968
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:58.400
Choose one member of your committee and doctor, Well, how

969
00:42:58.400 --> 00:42:58.920
do you do that?

970
00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:02.039
Like you mentioned the default system, blah blah blah, let's

971
00:43:02.039 --> 00:43:03.880
talk about that. How do you get into that zone

972
00:43:03.960 --> 00:43:05.800
to be able to talk to your body in the

973
00:43:05.840 --> 00:43:06.760
best way possible?

974
00:43:07.039 --> 00:43:09.400
Yeah, And it's fun because there's a chapter in the

975
00:43:09.440 --> 00:43:13.199
book on the science of storytelling and so a little

976
00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:14.880
bits in that. And then I'm writing a new book

977
00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:17.000
called The Art and Science of Wishing at Work. So

978
00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:19.840
it's for like, especially for companies going through big change.

979
00:43:19.840 --> 00:43:23.280
So it's kind of a different pivot, that is, but

980
00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:26.400
there's a there's kind of ten criteria.

981
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:27.400
Are you ready for this change?

982
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:30.000
Because wishing is inherently about change, right, I mean, it's

983
00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:33.719
something you want to see that's different. And so I

984
00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:36.519
started getting into some really interesting research. And I don't

985
00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:39.760
know if you know that Aaron Sorkin talks about when

986
00:43:39.760 --> 00:43:42.480
he's writing that he sometimes will take like seven showers

987
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:42.840
a day.

988
00:43:43.360 --> 00:43:50.679
No, that's a clean man can you guess why, because

989
00:43:50.719 --> 00:43:52.320
that's where his mind is the quietest.

990
00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:57.440
Yes, what happens. So what happens is it's a shift

991
00:43:57.440 --> 00:43:57.880
in your brain.

992
00:43:57.960 --> 00:44:01.639
You think it's off, but it's actually turning certain parts off,

993
00:44:01.639 --> 00:44:05.480
in certain parts on. So if you're sitting there super focused,

994
00:44:05.519 --> 00:44:07.960
hyper focused on something, certain parts of your brain. And

995
00:44:08.159 --> 00:44:10.559
again I'm not the scientist, so I can't remember exactly

996
00:44:10.599 --> 00:44:14.159
which is which it's in the book, but and I

997
00:44:14.199 --> 00:44:17.360
mean seventy different kinds of science, well seventy scientists and

998
00:44:17.519 --> 00:44:20.519
dozens of sciences. Nobody could probably remember, even if you

999
00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:23.119
are a scientist. But anyway, so give myself some grace.

1000
00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:26.119
But what happens is there's a certain part of your

1001
00:44:26.119 --> 00:44:28.800
brain when you're super focused, but when you take away

1002
00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:31.119
that focus, we think our brain is wandering, but what's

1003
00:44:31.159 --> 00:44:33.719
actually happening is other parts of our brain are turning on.

1004
00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:37.599
And that's called the default mode network. So he found

1005
00:44:37.639 --> 00:44:41.559
a trick to access the default mode network where he

1006
00:44:41.679 --> 00:44:43.719
and now you probably think, like I couldn't remember that

1007
00:44:43.719 --> 00:44:45.840
word in the boom, I'm washing the dishes, or I'm

1008
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:48.800
going for a walk, or you know, three in the morning.

1009
00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:51.559
Three in the morning, right, And that's when certain parts

1010
00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:53.519
of that brain are turned off in certain parts on.

1011
00:44:53.639 --> 00:44:56.239
So I actually was writing kind of like a part

1012
00:44:56.320 --> 00:44:59.639
and a blog article about you know, okay, how do

1013
00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:03.400
you act sess the default mode network without seven hours

1014
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:04.320
a day?

1015
00:45:04.480 --> 00:45:07.159
Like what are the tricks to do that? Yeah?

1016
00:45:07.239 --> 00:45:08.800
His water build must have been incredible.

1017
00:45:09.559 --> 00:45:12.000
Yeah, And so that's when when you're when you're in

1018
00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:15.000
your inner self or your body, you know, that's when

1019
00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:18.000
you're kind of releasing the mind and the and that

1020
00:45:18.079 --> 00:45:20.559
particular part of your consciousness is taking over. So that's

1021
00:45:20.599 --> 00:45:23.920
a psychology answer to the neuroscience.

1022
00:45:23.440 --> 00:45:28.159
Of of what's happening there. So you know, I would just say,

1023
00:45:28.199 --> 00:45:29.519
is try talk to him.

1024
00:45:29.760 --> 00:45:32.880
Just ask his name and see if he comes. And

1025
00:45:33.199 --> 00:45:35.280
if generally when you get the name, you're.

1026
00:45:35.159 --> 00:45:38.159
Like, whoa, this been really good? Like this is some

1027
00:45:38.639 --> 00:45:40.039
you know, and and.

1028
00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:42.320
Then and just say, you know, just start small and

1029
00:45:42.440 --> 00:45:44.199
just say what do would you like to do today?

1030
00:45:44.239 --> 00:45:46.960
What what would you like to eat? Where are you?

1031
00:45:47.719 --> 00:45:49.840
Because I've even been to the point because my body

1032
00:45:49.960 --> 00:45:53.000
likes exercise, So I'm kind of, you know, obsessed with

1033
00:45:53.119 --> 00:45:55.800
doing my ninety minutes on the electrical every day.

1034
00:45:55.840 --> 00:45:57.920
That's my kind of my obsession and.

1035
00:45:58.000 --> 00:46:01.039
But there have been times when I've draw drawn driven

1036
00:46:01.119 --> 00:46:03.480
to the gym and my body's like, you know, I

1037
00:46:03.519 --> 00:46:06.119
don't want to and I'm like, okay, not to go home,

1038
00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:08.239
Like it's that clear.

1039
00:46:08.760 --> 00:46:11.119
Yeah, Well, I don't want you to hold a new friend.

1040
00:46:11.119 --> 00:46:13.079
You're just meeting a new friend and he's been your

1041
00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:13.679
friend forever.

1042
00:46:14.400 --> 00:46:16.159
I don't want you to get your hopes up because

1043
00:46:16.159 --> 00:46:19.199
I have been asking my spirit guys tell me their

1044
00:46:19.280 --> 00:46:21.480
names for months and I've heard no names.

1045
00:46:21.679 --> 00:46:23.599
So maybe it's not a pronounceable name.

1046
00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:28.639
Oh she's got all the answers. I know nothing about that.

1047
00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:30.960
Well, in my story that I told you, I wrote,

1048
00:46:31.079 --> 00:46:33.440
I just call him x Y and the z's because

1049
00:46:33.559 --> 00:46:35.679
I really couldn't come up with a name, and I

1050
00:46:35.719 --> 00:46:38.119
really felt like either they didn't want the world to

1051
00:46:38.159 --> 00:46:40.760
know their name or they had names that were just

1052
00:46:40.800 --> 00:46:44.039
so out there and unwriteable, pronounceable, or whatever.

1053
00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:46.519
So so I kind of came up with that excuse.

1054
00:46:46.679 --> 00:46:48.519
But for your body, you know, he.

1055
00:46:48.599 --> 00:46:53.159
Is an excuse because what's going to happen together, which

1056
00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:54.960
I really we've got I've got to hear.

1057
00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:57.440
The follow up to this is when.

1058
00:46:57.360 --> 00:46:59.199
You have your body and you have her name, right,

1059
00:46:59.199 --> 00:47:00.880
you've already got a relation. Now you're just gonna have

1060
00:47:00.920 --> 00:47:03.119
a name so you can like, Okay, we're friends. We're

1061
00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:04.559
going to go for a walk together, you know kind

1062
00:47:04.599 --> 00:47:06.599
of thing. And when you do, then you're going to

1063
00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:09.719
be able to communicate on that level. And you already

1064
00:47:09.800 --> 00:47:13.599
do but in a more conscious way. So your body

1065
00:47:13.639 --> 00:47:15.360
and his body are like, okay, what are we?

1066
00:47:15.519 --> 00:47:17.159
You know, where are we on that level?

1067
00:47:17.199 --> 00:47:19.199
And then you've got your mind level, which is already

1068
00:47:19.400 --> 00:47:21.800
kick ass, right, I mean, y'all are so jamming on

1069
00:47:21.840 --> 00:47:24.559
that level, and then the spirit level, right and so,

1070
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:28.719
and with your wishing, if it's on all three levels,

1071
00:47:28.880 --> 00:47:33.519
you've just maximized our at least signify, increased your connection

1072
00:47:33.639 --> 00:47:36.239
to your wish and your chances that it's happening.

1073
00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:38.079
It's like a party because there's six of us.

1074
00:47:39.679 --> 00:47:41.599
I'm a Gemini. There's a lot more than that moved.

1075
00:47:41.800 --> 00:47:45.000
Right, like concept and multiple selves.

1076
00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:51.000
Okay, I'm like, I'm jumping in. So the wishing work

1077
00:47:51.039 --> 00:47:53.679
that you've done, have you studied or heard of any

1078
00:47:53.719 --> 00:47:57.840
studies of the difference between the power of the wish

1079
00:47:57.840 --> 00:48:01.199
of a child compared to that of an adult, Because

1080
00:48:01.239 --> 00:48:04.519
when I was young, I got whatever I wanted, you know,

1081
00:48:04.559 --> 00:48:06.639
I would want you know, I'm gonna win that cakewalk

1082
00:48:06.679 --> 00:48:08.719
and I'd walk in and I'd win it. Or you know,

1083
00:48:08.880 --> 00:48:10.960
I want to a drum set for Christmas. I got

1084
00:48:10.960 --> 00:48:12.960
a drum set. It just like random, not for my mother.

1085
00:48:13.039 --> 00:48:16.159
Even it's like random stuff, like if I wanted it,

1086
00:48:16.199 --> 00:48:19.599
I would get it. It doesn't really happen anymore. So

1087
00:48:19.639 --> 00:48:21.639
I'm wondering is there a reason behind that?

1088
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:24.960
I mean, I would have I haven't seen studies, so

1089
00:48:25.159 --> 00:48:25.840
I couldn't.

1090
00:48:25.920 --> 00:48:29.079
I couldn't answer that. I could probably speculate. And a

1091
00:48:29.119 --> 00:48:31.440
few things. Is one is, you know, as you get older,

1092
00:48:31.480 --> 00:48:36.320
your lessons, you know, become more serious and more real,

1093
00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:39.760
right as a child, do not necessarily learning big lessons.

1094
00:48:40.159 --> 00:48:43.920
And then there's a phenomena that I call the blue

1095
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:45.599
balloon phenomena.

1096
00:48:46.199 --> 00:48:49.559
That I don't want. Well, I don't want you to

1097
00:48:49.599 --> 00:48:51.480
think I forgot your question about skeptics.

1098
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:53.159
So do you want to do skeptics and then we

1099
00:48:53.199 --> 00:48:55.320
come back to blue balloons or do you talk about

1100
00:48:55.320 --> 00:48:55.880
blue balloons?

1101
00:48:55.960 --> 00:48:57.559
Go ahead and close the blue balloon out and then

1102
00:48:57.559 --> 00:48:58.960
we'll go we'll head over there.

1103
00:48:59.280 --> 00:49:03.159
Okay, So imagine you're driving home and you have this

1104
00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:07.679
image of a blue balloon in your driveway, Like just

1105
00:49:07.760 --> 00:49:10.320
a blue balloon there on your driveway and you drive

1106
00:49:10.360 --> 00:49:11.639
home and there's a blue balloon.

1107
00:49:14.360 --> 00:49:16.840
What could have made that balloon? We could have made

1108
00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:17.320
that happen.

1109
00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:23.440
See, I would just say it's the universe doing what

1110
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:25.400
it does. But I don't know.

1111
00:49:25.559 --> 00:49:28.079
I mean, but there's a lot of manifestations of that,

1112
00:49:28.199 --> 00:49:30.079
Like you know what I mean, like, yeah, what does

1113
00:49:30.119 --> 00:49:30.559
that mean?

1114
00:49:31.400 --> 00:49:31.920
I don't know.

1115
00:49:34.719 --> 00:49:35.760
It just happens to a peer.

1116
00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:39.159
It's just since you drive in and the balloon's there.

1117
00:49:39.239 --> 00:49:41.079
There could have been like some birthday party and it

1118
00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:42.000
blew over or.

1119
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:44.239
Well here the skeptic of me would say, you probably

1120
00:49:44.239 --> 00:49:47.239
saw the blue balloon subconsciously on your way out and

1121
00:49:47.280 --> 00:49:48.920
you thought of it. And now the way when you

1122
00:49:48.920 --> 00:49:49.800
got there it was there.

1123
00:49:50.000 --> 00:49:53.039
Yeah, that's what I don't think that way. I'm like, Helenujah,

1124
00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:55.159
that's the next thing.

1125
00:49:55.199 --> 00:49:55.360
Right.

1126
00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:58.440
One possible answer is that you it was there, and

1127
00:49:58.519 --> 00:50:01.679
you know those eleven MILLI million versus fifty you just

1128
00:50:02.239 --> 00:50:03.880
and you just hadn't registered and all of a sudden

1129
00:50:04.000 --> 00:50:07.719
guess right, And then in the book, I have three answers,

1130
00:50:07.760 --> 00:50:10.800
and now just from today is like my default mode

1131
00:50:10.800 --> 00:50:12.400
network went crazy on the concept.

1132
00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:14.039
Now I have ten or eleven.

1133
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:15.599
Reading some revisions coming.

1134
00:50:16.239 --> 00:50:18.119
Yeah, and there's.

1135
00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:20.280
So many like it because of my you know, I've

1136
00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:22.599
triggered the default mode network. So it's looking you know,

1137
00:50:22.639 --> 00:50:24.679
it's it's because when it's turning off, then all those

1138
00:50:24.719 --> 00:50:27.480
things that you couldn't remember that word, they start popping

1139
00:50:27.559 --> 00:50:29.079
up because you suppressed.

1140
00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:29.960
That that idea.

1141
00:50:30.480 --> 00:50:33.639
But one could be you manifested like I saw it,

1142
00:50:33.679 --> 00:50:36.039
and I manifested and that balloon was there because I

1143
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:38.480
thought about it right, And one could be you know,

1144
00:50:38.559 --> 00:50:43.079
your subconscious saw it. Another could be that you could

1145
00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:45.079
have been in some glitch in the matrix somebody told

1146
00:50:45.119 --> 00:50:46.840
me like, oh well that's interesting, like you could have

1147
00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:50.480
like kind of seen something like that. Another explanation is

1148
00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:54.159
that that you got a precognitive.

1149
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:55.480
Kind of view of what was going to be there.

1150
00:50:55.639 --> 00:50:57.760
So you've got a little bit of you know, I

1151
00:50:57.800 --> 00:50:59.760
don't know if we want to call it retrocausality. If

1152
00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:02.159
you know anything about that quantum physics you've talked about

1153
00:51:02.199 --> 00:51:04.599
quantum physics like that, you can actually go back and

1154
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:06.440
see something that's happened.

1155
00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:10.599
And effect affect what I mean, your decisions. You make

1156
00:51:10.679 --> 00:51:12.719
now could affect what has already happened.

1157
00:51:13.079 --> 00:51:14.519
That's right, that's right, that's right.

1158
00:51:14.599 --> 00:51:18.440
So you visualized it, but but you and you're seeing

1159
00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:22.159
something now that had already happened, and so and then

1160
00:51:22.199 --> 00:51:24.800
there's like, okay, well maybe maybe the balloon is there

1161
00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:27.320
as a symbol or a message from the universe. And

1162
00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:30.280
when you say the universe, that could be another universe. Answer, right,

1163
00:51:30.639 --> 00:51:32.599
is okay? Well then you know, if it's like a

1164
00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:34.719
dream symbol, then you look in your dream book.

1165
00:51:34.719 --> 00:51:36.679
But what does bloom mean? And what does a balloon mean?

1166
00:51:36.719 --> 00:51:37.880
And is it a message?

1167
00:51:38.079 --> 00:51:41.039
Is it a message from And maybe blue balloon means

1168
00:51:41.039 --> 00:51:43.199
something special to you because you had a childhood birthday

1169
00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:46.119
and it's a message from somebody that's on the other side.

1170
00:51:46.400 --> 00:51:49.000
That's you know. I mean, there's so many cool answers.

1171
00:51:49.039 --> 00:51:53.360
And the thing that's fun about that is that it

1172
00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:57.239
means that manifestation is a whole different animal when you

1173
00:51:57.280 --> 00:52:00.159
start looking at it from all those different possibilities.

1174
00:52:00.280 --> 00:52:01.679
Right, does that make sense?

1175
00:52:01.840 --> 00:52:04.760
It does? I think we need to bring you back

1176
00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:08.000
in for another hour because we just beaar these kinds

1177
00:52:08.039 --> 00:52:08.639
of surface.

1178
00:52:08.360 --> 00:52:10.360
And I want to hear I want to come back

1179
00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:12.480
and I want to see you guys both know your

1180
00:52:13.280 --> 00:52:15.960
animal or your body names and how that's working.

1181
00:52:16.119 --> 00:52:18.199
Well, we're definitely gonna have to bring you back because

1182
00:52:18.400 --> 00:52:20.960
we see that. I love that we're almost at time,

1183
00:52:21.280 --> 00:52:23.519
but we tease a little bit. We have to touch

1184
00:52:23.559 --> 00:52:25.559
on it. I want to talk with the Global Consciousness

1185
00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:28.199
Project because this means that we're talking about a bunch

1186
00:52:28.280 --> 00:52:30.039
of people coming together and making things happen.

1187
00:52:30.440 --> 00:52:34.239
Yes, there is some really interesting science of this collective

1188
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:37.760
intention stuff. It's and the field effect and some of

1189
00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:39.880
those kinds of things. So there is some really interesting

1190
00:52:40.079 --> 00:52:43.039
and then the Maharishi and the one percent solution. I'm

1191
00:52:43.039 --> 00:52:45.079
sure you've seen a lot of that stuff. We don't

1192
00:52:45.079 --> 00:52:47.199
see enough of it these days though, I mean, like

1193
00:52:47.519 --> 00:52:50.199
we're not wishing together. And one of the stories that

1194
00:52:50.280 --> 00:52:51.840
I kind of like to tell is just kind of

1195
00:52:51.880 --> 00:52:55.480
imagine you were back during the Black Plague, right and

1196
00:52:55.519 --> 00:52:57.880
you lived in the Black Plague. Fifty percent of the

1197
00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:00.679
people around you were dying. Every other person is dying.

1198
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:05.400
There are corpses in the street, rotting, people dying everywhere.

1199
00:53:05.679 --> 00:53:08.199
Nobody knows what caused it, Nobody knows if it's ever

1200
00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:09.880
going to go away. Nobody knows that it's going to

1201
00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:13.400
be one hundred percent right. That's a world where wishing.

1202
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:16.679
Probably stopped, right. I mean, you become such a level

1203
00:53:16.679 --> 00:53:20.039
of despair. Can you imagine a world with no wishing?

1204
00:53:20.119 --> 00:53:21.559
I mean, we just stop wishing?

1205
00:53:22.039 --> 00:53:23.320
Mm, no, thank you.

1206
00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:24.440
Yeah.

1207
00:53:24.480 --> 00:53:26.880
It's when you see the power of wishing and just

1208
00:53:26.920 --> 00:53:29.719
the word wishes, like this wish. I mean, it's this

1209
00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:32.599
beautiful flow of an energy.

1210
00:53:33.199 --> 00:53:35.079
And so in my story, I kind of come up

1211
00:53:35.119 --> 00:53:38.760
with a wish fairy who has this idea. What if

1212
00:53:38.800 --> 00:53:42.079
you blow on a dandelion and the puffs go everywhere

1213
00:53:42.480 --> 00:53:44.400
and you make a wish and when you make that wish,

1214
00:53:44.400 --> 00:53:49.400
your loved one's souls go to heaven. That's beautiful, that lovely,

1215
00:53:50.159 --> 00:53:52.280
And so we don't know. I mean, I could be

1216
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:54.039
making that up, or maybe I had a pass life

1217
00:53:54.079 --> 00:53:57.559
where I was, you know, and was the one who

1218
00:53:57.559 --> 00:54:00.639
made people think about using a dandelion as ritual for

1219
00:54:00.679 --> 00:54:03.559
a wish. But you know, again, the anthropology, the power

1220
00:54:03.639 --> 00:54:07.599
of the ritual and the reminder in this world how

1221
00:54:07.679 --> 00:54:10.760
powerful and important wishes and wishing on And I know

1222
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:12.400
you didn't get to skeptics, but I'm just going to

1223
00:54:12.440 --> 00:54:15.679
say there's a beautiful chapter on less engaged skeptics. And

1224
00:54:15.719 --> 00:54:19.039
if anybody's listening, going, Okay, she's full of it, or

1225
00:54:19.239 --> 00:54:21.320
she's got this much and she needs this much more.

1226
00:54:21.400 --> 00:54:24.440
I love to hear, and I love skeptics, and I

1227
00:54:24.480 --> 00:54:28.119
love people who are wondering and questioning and pushing back.

1228
00:54:28.199 --> 00:54:29.079
I want to learn more.

1229
00:54:29.159 --> 00:54:33.519
I'm an explorer, as I said, and so I fun

1230
00:54:33.639 --> 00:54:34.679
Skeptics are fun.

1231
00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:35.880
I mean they are funny.

1232
00:54:36.320 --> 00:54:38.880
They can make it really fun because they start, you know,

1233
00:54:38.960 --> 00:54:42.039
helping you learn more in your own self and expand.

1234
00:54:42.119 --> 00:54:43.599
And that's what science is about.

1235
00:54:43.320 --> 00:54:47.400
Is really get get the concept in concrete. Yeah, so

1236
00:54:47.599 --> 00:54:50.320
really really quickly got I want to frustrate the audience

1237
00:54:50.320 --> 00:54:53.079
that you mentioned the Maharshot fact. That's when the study

1238
00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:55.679
that when one percent of the population meditates together, the

1239
00:54:55.760 --> 00:54:59.639
crime rate falls, right. And then the consciousness, the global

1240
00:54:59.679 --> 00:55:01.559
conscious The project is a project A Princeton has been

1241
00:55:01.639 --> 00:55:04.880
running for over like twenty years where they find that

1242
00:55:05.320 --> 00:55:08.719
around major global events like nine to eleven NAS meditations,

1243
00:55:08.719 --> 00:55:12.639
death to Princess Diana, they show a lot of statistically

1244
00:55:12.679 --> 00:55:16.960
anomalous non random patterns, whereas before it's mostly all random,

1245
00:55:17.119 --> 00:55:20.320
but when big events happen, like these things that you

1246
00:55:20.440 --> 00:55:25.000
couldn't figure out randomly actually start happening at the same time.

1247
00:55:25.000 --> 00:55:27.360
And that's what we're talking about. There's a lot in

1248
00:55:27.400 --> 00:55:29.559
this book that we haven't had a chance to talk about.

1249
00:55:29.599 --> 00:55:32.079
So it's called The Art and.

1250
00:55:33.119 --> 00:55:36.079
Sorry, car and Science of Wishing.

1251
00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:39.440
The Art and Science of Wishing, and it is available where.

1252
00:55:40.079 --> 00:55:42.559
And pretty much, well not in bookstores, but it is

1253
00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:45.559
on Amazon and Apple Books and Google Books and all

1254
00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:46.199
of those places.

1255
00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:48.199
Okay, And if someone wanted to learn more about you

1256
00:55:48.360 --> 00:55:50.119
or get in contact with you or anything like that,

1257
00:55:50.159 --> 00:55:51.559
what's the best way for someone to do that.

1258
00:55:51.639 --> 00:55:54.000
Yeah, well, I'm the only brown al Landrum in the world,

1259
00:55:54.880 --> 00:55:57.119
so it's pretty easy to find me in that regard.

1260
00:55:57.639 --> 00:56:00.239
I want you to invite you to as as well

1261
00:56:00.280 --> 00:56:02.760
as anybody listening to join my Facebook group called Life

1262
00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:05.239
is a Trip, Reincarnation and afterlife Stories, so it's a

1263
00:56:05.280 --> 00:56:07.000
place where people can share stories.

1264
00:56:07.480 --> 00:56:09.119
And I'm on all the socials.

1265
00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:12.480
I'm just starting to build my YouTube channel, so there's

1266
00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:15.119
going to be some really cool stuff with activities and

1267
00:56:15.159 --> 00:56:16.639
things you can do, like, Okay, I'm going to do

1268
00:56:16.639 --> 00:56:19.320
this activity to make my wishes more in my control,

1269
00:56:19.440 --> 00:56:21.239
or learn this science that's going to take it to

1270
00:56:21.239 --> 00:56:24.199
the next level. So and I just I love hearing

1271
00:56:24.239 --> 00:56:24.760
from you.

1272
00:56:24.800 --> 00:56:24.880

I love reviews.

1274
00:56:25.719 --> 00:56:27.440
If anybody reads the book and wants to give me

1275
00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:28.400
a review, I love them.

1276
00:56:28.480 --> 00:56:31.039
And I just like I love this discussion.

1277
00:56:31.079 --> 00:56:34.760
I love going into these topics and just exploring sounds awesome.

1278
00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:36.400
Well, we're going to add a direct link to your

1279

time we talked about this because we literally we haven't

1287
00:56:53.960 --> 00:56:58.320
evenme close to all the topics we we could have

1288
00:56:58.360 --> 00:57:02.599
talked about, all the different culture role in idiosyncrasies around

1289
