TNT SpiritWorks (00:00)
Hello, everyone. Welcome back to discerning news. And ⁓ today, I think we had ⁓ a idea of talking about ⁓ clouded perceptions and getting clarity. That was going to be the title for today. And I think we all came up with some inspiring stories of how

There can be a lot of chatter, a lot of things, it just, it can steal away from what is just simple and clear in front of me. And then everything gets blocked and clouded and for just simple things. Yeah. And I have a really interesting situation that came up on this week where I was speaking to a close friend and all of a sudden she says, Hey, you know, I don't ever watch the news.

but I saw this report on the news and they're taking fluoride out of the water and God, that's awful. And I was like, interesting. And she never watches anything. So we spoke a little further and I'm like, well, you know, there's some science behind fluoride in water and what fluoride may do to the physical body in water and why there's some European countries. And at the moment, as of May, 2025,

Utah and Florida have actually taken fluoride out of the water. And so as we were going down this road of, know, and about Kennedy and what's Kennedy like and how Kennedy, you know, has some ailments himself and she felt he didn't really, he wasn't up to a healthy standard of, of what, you know, what someone may be going, Hey, let's try to do this, but you know, he can barely speak and he's got issues. I really recognize the cloud and how

because I saw it, because if you spotted, got it right. So for myself, I recognize how things that cloud my perception from when I was a kid, things I went through with my family and how they always were pointing fingers and saying things about people. And I recognize this in this situation that we were talking about with that cloud and how the cloud actually ⁓ clouds over, I'll say.

our perception of truth, of getting truths. Yeah. I mean, for me, when you, I hear you, when you say that, I don't get what I need in a conversation or in, business or whether I'm personal, because my ideas are overriding the need, meaning that

I have this perception or concept or concept, thank you, of that has things has to be a certain way. Or I don't like that person. Or it's how it's how things have been my whole life. Right. that I'm fluoride in the water. I'm programmed with something. And it could be anything where the fluoride is a great story. But it could be absolutely anything. And I relate to it because I was in a situation this

not very long ago where I was having to just pass information from one person to another. was just communicating and because that what I was saying or what I was doing was not in there. There was, it was a like and dislike for them. Then even though I was passing on simple things, it became a real challenge just to communicate.

just to do one simple thing. This became like a big deal. I had to call upon all of my skills to just stay calm, cool and collected. And I was just communicating, asking one simple question. Do you want this or not? Right. Or, or do we want something else? It was amazing how, because of the idea, the concept was, this was not my concept.

that I'm willing to poo poo or push away something that's actually helpful. And later on, once myself and these other people move through that, it was great, right? Everything worked out just right and so forth. But the machinations and the lack of getting the facts in the moment, it all got delayed.

Like the conversation that could have literally been there for, I'm not kidding, five minutes or less turned into a half hour, 45 minutes to try to get one thing done. It is shocking how that clouded perception of my idea of how something's supposed to be, how it affects everything. I won't even, it could be the golden key right in front of me and I won't pick it up and use it because

that's not the key doesn't look how I want it to look. I want a skeleton key, not one of those keys. You know, it's like, well, wait a minute. I want something to get happen. I want to move forward. I don't want to be that's that whole the difference between the end and the means. Like I fall in love with the bus. If the bus isn't like this, well, I'm not going to miss that bus. Well, I need to get to the other side of town. Any bus will do kind of thing, you know, so it's

That's that's what stood out for me. So what have you noticed Tom with clouded perception? Well, especially this week, because things kind of stir up around the same time frame. Yeah, it's something I've observed my whole life is that ⁓ if I have a concept, you know, so let's take fluoride. You know, when I was young, when I was a kid, I was told fluoride was this great thing, and they put it in the water. Aren't we happy they put it in the water because it keeps us from getting cavities. And then of course, you'd go to the dentist and they can do fluoride treatments and

so on and so forth. But recently, we'd been made aware of Teresa and I were watching some incredible information about actually the lack of studies along the lines of, ⁓ you know, proving that fluoride and water, in fact, there's some suspicion that it hurts, you know, things and when they look at you neurologically, yeah, certainly, right, neurologically, development. so when they ⁓ when the science when they looked behind the science or whatever,

whatever the information they had where they made the decision to go ahead and put fluoride in water, it was pretty weak. And they said, geez, that's like, there's really nothing there. So ⁓ I know for myself, it took a moment or a little while for me to sort of change my ideas about that. However, they did say in the same episode or this information we were getting that actually there's good science about when you apply fluoride directly to teeth.

that it's not so wasn't such a bad deal, but they want to look into it and you know, find out more recheck recheck. And I thought when you told me about your ⁓ colleague who kind of reacted to this, my god, they're gonna take fluoride out of water. You know, it was similar, like when I heard the background information when I got the facts, and I thought to myself, you know, I've never looked at a study about fluoride in water.

And we're just using the fluoride as an example. Yes, you know, it's like, I've never really gotten the facts on that myself. So why did I accept? Well, I was young, I was probably six or seven when somebody told me that. And I trusted the people who told me that and you know, I love them and they had love for me. And so, through the rest of my life, I've got this belief in that fluoride in the water is wonderful. Now, ⁓

the engineer in me or the scientist in me, you know, from my education says, you know, we do modify our ideas about things as we get more information. And as things come out and as we see the ramifications for things that we, that we, you know, get involved with. But I want to run back to, so how does this affect me when I'm working with my true feelings, you know, where I have this innate source of wisdom?

and inner guidance and then working with my guidance. You know, how often do I get a message from my guidance, but it's kind of what Tiger was saying. It's not to my liking because it doesn't fit my preference and it's not the picture I had being a visionary. So it's important for me to really start trusting, you know, my feelings. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it also for myself, it comes back to, know, it's up to me and my journey to get my own truths.

and where I'm at because you know, like that because for decades like you guys, I mean, I believe fluoride was okay in the in the water. I didn't think anything of it and most people don't. But when you get to a certain level of awareness and level of consciousness, then you start questioning things or start looking into things deeper and more and more truth starts surfacing. And so when this happened this week, I recognize, you know, this is how people deal with news overall.

there's no like, well this happened. So I'm going to get a fact about that or dive a little deeper. No, it's I take that full full on and because also like you're saying back to when you were younger, like because my mom and dad believe that and I believe that too, that I need to be a Republican or I need to be a Democrat or I need to be this or I need to be that or whatever it is or the opposite of whatever they were. That's for sure too. But it comes back to gaining the truths for ourselves and

at what and also at what cost. That's okay. That was what I was just going to say. was just going to say that one of the biggest things ⁓ for me when I'm communicating with people and even to keep myself in check, right? To keep myself in check is I need to remember nothing is for free. Everything has a price and that is the law.

the galaxy system we are in. Now, maybe if we float out to the next galaxy, Seth, and we take a starship someplace else, you know, like the movies or whatever, the laws will be different there. But here, there is cause and effect. There is certain things that are going to happen. And that's the nature of what we're here and what we've signed up for what I've signed up for one way or another.

And so why I brought that up is because how much trouble I can get into or create troubles for myself or people create troubles for other people because they're not recognizing that nothing's for free. There's going to be a price for everything. And so how can I do what I need to do in such a way that is positive for myself?

and undisturbing for the environment or for people. And there's that old Asian saying is that the, the, you know, the bee goes around and collects the pollen, but disturbs very little in the process, but actually helps everything right by doing their thing. And so that to me, that's that energy of that no matter what I do, there's going to be a price.

And if I want to grow spiritually, if I want to move beyond where I'm at, the ideas and concepts, so that I become more and more free, more and more abundant, more and more happy, I'm going to have to be willing to pay the price to go through old ideas, old perceptions that may have clouded my judgment. need to be able to, in essence, I need to be willing to look at the rules and regulations that I have in

posed on myself and, and distinguish them from the laws that I have for myself. Now that's taken it to a whole other level. Yeah, I mean, and that's where some people are not going to want to go there. And that's their journey. Well, and so once I pick up these habits and attitudes and concepts in my first seven years, because we're so sensitive, and it's not necessarily something I was told, but just something in the environment.

or people were thinking it, that if there's a fear there, if I get a block, you so in the case of your person, it might be like a fear of, ⁓ my whole life I've been doing something wrong, you know, or a fear of ⁓ something, right? And then it might take a little bit of, you know, looking into that blockage as to, you know, what the pattern is there because...

I don't feel guilty about all the water with fluoride that I've drank in the past. You know, like, I was working off the best information that we had. I'm not worried that I'm going to have some issue neurologically, you know, but I'm really open to, okay, they found that it's not it helps here, but it's not so good there. So what's the, how do we weigh that up? You know, how do we weigh up the, you know, the cost?

So again, we're coming back to, know, there, in what ways am I guidance working with me to move forward? You know, now you have some more information, Tom. I, if I get caught in feeling guilty that I didn't do it right for all these years, I'm going to be afraid to take on those suggestions from my guidance. ⁓

the past and the future. was just regrouping with someone and I said to them, you know, what really keeps us from invoking and taking that following through on the stuff we know is right? Like I have an old habit. I want to change that habit to a better habit. What we all have, I think most people have that desire to do that. But then how is it I go

back into this old thing or get caught in something, you know, whatever. And, and this person, a friend of ours, she said, the past and the future tiger. And I thought about that for a minute. It's like, yeah, that's right. That's exactly right. Because if I'm here, if I'm maintain my energy in the moment in the beautiful now, yes, I do need to

project for the future. Yes, I need to draw and regroup from the past. But if I'm here now, it's so easy to change my habit. But if I get thinking about the past or worrying about the future, I have no chance of shifting that stuff. I'll just revert back to what I know. And so that's a good place to talk about with the news that's going on in the world. Right. And how the news keeps us in that cycle of

past and future, past and future. What did we do wrong in the past and how are we gonna eff up the future? That's it. And so it's like that infinity. So in the middle is that now, that point of this is where the clarity is. That's right. In this moment of now. And so I think that for myself, that's where I, you know, I only limit myself to so much news and, but you know, there's also knowledge and understanding what's really going on in different areas of life on both sides, right?

And so I want to really touch base now about the younger generation, because I know you came up with a really good story about New Zealand and some kids. And I want to talk about, you know, the future generations and how to instill balance within, you know, the young age moving forward. So there's a story in New Zealand that they're they're pulling ⁓ this system that they they've implemented for a while now. ⁓

called ⁓ open plan. And it's in essence, they ⁓ just allow the classrooms to be really big and allow young people to kind of roam and it's all in keeping with the idea that it's kind of like a unschooling concept. know, this is very popular. But in essence to try to allow children to learn naturally, this is the spirit of it. This is where it started.

Right. And now they're, finding out that this is actually causing more trouble, this particular system. And so they're, they're jettisoning it. They're getting rid of it. Right. They're not going to build any more buildings like this for the schools. And they're going to go back to what they know. And I'm bringing that, I brought that up and I'm thank you for reminding me on the story is because we live in an intellectual society.

The Western society is a very intellectual society in contrast to say other societies. And it makes it very simple to get caught up in intellectual things, to get trapped, which is what the theme of this is all about clouded perceptions, right? Which predominantly come with that intellectual ideas, the concepts I have about myself. So here's an example where the spirit.

of something than idea was a good idea. But then they start applying the idea based on that exactly that thing that hit only the head, only the intellect, only the the the understanding part of it. And they get into this infinity loop of just trying to do it intellectually, instead of bringing the common sense back to say, okay, we'd like to figure out how to

Make it so that there's more natural. Well, how can we work with what we've got and make it more natural and, and try things out instead of just making this big blanket thing, which goes back to your floor ride story instead of saying, okay, let's help the individual somehow. How do we do that? That's very difficult. Well, that's why we put you there and in charge so you can figure those things out.

But instead of now we come with the big blanket thing and the big floor thing. In this case, you know, we're going to do it for all the children. And of course, here comes a decade later. Now they find out it's just more disruptive. The kids are, you know, it's, it's a headache for the teachers and the kids aren't really getting it. was no benefit to it. There was, you know, it doesn't move the needle right to more education or less. So it's like, okay, we just did all this stuff, spent all this money.

All these young people are now dealing with extra pieces in it. So I think the challenge here that I'm bringing up is how much if I let myself go out of balance and let the scientist in me become stronger than the connection I have with people, the connection with things, the connection with

the bigger picture of the source, right, the spiritual part. If I let those, I need both, but if I let them go out of balance, that's where the scent, the most sensitive of us, typically young people, other people who are perhaps more just sensitive in nature, they're going to have the most challenges when the intellect goes out of whack. And when these highly intellectual societies,

Now everything starts getting affected and the HD HD or ADHD stuff and you know the anxiety and now I need pills to control the anxiety and now I got the pill thing affecting me and I to go pee all the time and you know it's like this snowball thing clouded. Yeah, it's just it just nothing's for free. Nothing is for free. So I need to recognize that. Okay, I need something for myself.

Great. How can I take a step? I just need to take a step and try something else. And that's to me, that's a lot of what you're talking about. Let's make sure that we attempt to move forward and be of service, but not such a way that we start forcing because in the green room, we talked about freedom is is innate to the soul. And you were bringing up how that that's in opposition. That's in direct conflict.

with trying to tell people as a mass what to do. Absolutely. What do you think about that, Tom? I think it's all true. know, in society, because Tiger brought up a point in the green room that, you know, we glorify the intellect in our society and we even glorify emotions, which are not our true feelings. They're feelings of the intellect, you might say. And so

There we go. You know, I almost when I hear that word common sense, more and more it's been occurring to me, you know, it's just a balance between my feelings, my true feelings, my inner wisdom and my intellect. What am I discerning from my feelings with my intellect? What? What do I see there? You know, being a visionary. So common sense is that common denominator, which has got to come from

our feeling nature. That's right. And our patterns of experience, which we've learned, we've already learned that. I mean, the idea about being conservative versus progressive is, well, you need a balance. The conservative when they're out of balance just holds on to the past and the tradition. And we keep doing these things this way, even if it doesn't apply anymore. But usually there was a good reason for it, or there's something we've learned from

hundreds of years or thousands of years of experience that like, that's what I hear you saying about working with, ⁓ educating young people. We've learned from experience the things that work. So let's not throw the whole thing out the window. That's right. Let's, let's work more from a balanced point of view, but it must've been the feelings that initially felt like there needs to be something a little bit more nurturing for these young people, these old souls and young bodies as we train them.

and help them become aware and help them help their intellect, electoral part grow, because you need the intellect. I mean, there's no question that we need that intellect. And but then we get over, kind of go over do it. Swing, we just swing into this. So again, I always come back to so in what ways am I limiting myself because of my content, concepts, and all I can say is, is

you know, for me, it's been an unfolding over time. When I'm ready to release one concept, I release it and then I kind of like my awareness, I become more clearly aware of another concept that I sort of didn't notice before. And then as I get a feeling for that and get the facts, you know, right now, I mean, here's another, we're finding out that, you know, extraterrestrials have been visiting and

You know, there's UFOs is a real thing. I mean, they're testifying before Congress. The UFOs are. Yeah, they've they've. Yeah. Well, the folks that have been involved in all that, you know, and it's really interesting how nobody's really bothered by it. You know, it's we've been conditioned for so long that with Star Trek and Star Wars and those kinds of things. And, you know, I say to myself like, wow, you know, like, nobody's noticing that that's

that like, that's an accepted idea. Now, it's not, it's not ⁓ way out there anymore. But we must be ready for that awareness. I guess that's how this relates and why this came to mind is that as I shed one concept, I kind of become aware. And, you know, in the Christian ethic, or the spiritual message behind Christianity, one of the big ones is forgiveness, you know, and forgive myself and

let go of guilt and so that I can move forward. Yes, what I hear you saying Tom is talking about clarity, which is a good place to go since we started this conversation with cloud of perspective, perspective, perception, perceptions, that P word. And so and so gaining clarity on, know, what's really going on in our immediate areas and also out in the world because lately, you know, there's been a lot of, of

people protesting and people going kind of apeshit in a way in different parts of the country over emotional components. So they're not really what their true feelings and what's really going on inside and that clarity that you can attain when you understand a bigger spiritual perspective of what's kind of going on and the truth for you. Because of course, individually, everyone's got their own truths. But gaining that clarity and understanding for yourself is a really big key in

moving forward and then you know, understanding like like we're talking about today, all the things that are coming up, whether it be the floor ride or the way they're raising kids these days, or, you know, whatever's going on is understanding how to gain that clarity for yourself. Yeah, yeah. The further I go along my path, the less swings I'll have between my intellect and my feeling between my head and my heart.

between the spiritual and the material because I'm on the tour. And if there's things that I have the ideas or concepts that are keeping me from getting that clarity, I'm, I'm always going to end up finding it. I'm going to end up that's where karma comes in. I'm going to end up back in a circle on my path. I'll end up in a circle rather than continuing to walk in a straight line because I haven't learned that lesson.

I haven't gained that perspective and that bigger picture so that I'm freer to walk further. I'll find myself back again. So I think that's the, the spirit of it is, is long as there's clarity, if I'm focused on that and I'm willing to have that balance in my life, then I'm willing to face those challenges and face those old ideas, the things that I've picked up and grown up with.

Yeah, I know for myself too that once I gain clarity for myself, I'm able to work with anyone. That's right. Even if they're totally unclear. Yes. And that's what I hear you saying, Tiger is that, you know, really gaining that, that really clear part of, know, being in balance, it just helps it helps us move every day and live and listen to all the news out there and what's going on and the people we've, you know, around. It's just such a great way to to be. How about you and clarity, Tom?

I want to be clear about this. Let me be clear. Put on your clear, you know, a little red flag is when I feel really emotionally like, no, they can't be taking the floor. you know, when, when I have these overreactions to things, ⁓ wow, I'm reacting to that, aren't I? You know, that's the sort of thing that I take note of. And then I sort of take a look at my, you know, I want to

get relaxed again, get back into my feelings. What do I feel about that? Okay, then how do I organize myself to get some more information? And then how do I feel about that? And like, let me really get into the next level of facts, get the facts of the facts kinds of a thing. And on I go. But if something really pushes my button, it's a good time to take a look at it. Because you know, as you said, like with your colleague,

You know, you accept that that person ⁓ is the great. That's how they feel about fluoride. You know, that's their deal. But if I was to overreact, like, my God, what are you thinking? You know, I'm caught too. I'm right. I'm somehow now I've caught up in that game reacting instead of just live and let live. And ⁓ so what do you have to say about that? Well, that's interesting because that's exactly where I went because I was like, ⁓ I almost felt like a hook. Yeah.

Like, oh crap, I'm not getting hooked into that. So then I started down the, well, there's this aspect of it. Have you ever thought about this and blah, blah, blah? So I'm glad you mentioned that because that is really key when we're interacting with other people, especially on hot topics that really get people stirred up is what's, is there a hook there for me? Because then that made me look at, oh wait, know, how have I done that in the past? how did that stem back to like in my mom and dad when we were kids and we would go driving.

on Sundays, and we would see people on the streets, they would go look at there's this person, look at that person, they would make fun of all these people. And it was really awful. And so it made me kind of go back to, know, how do I do that? And how do I have that clouded perception around different situations? Yeah, so we're just talking about another word for this or phrase for it would be thought habits. I have certain thought habits. And the more I can let you know, we say, let's quiet our minds and

you know, go into that meditative state, which is I'm not a big meditator. I never have been. to enjoy life. But when I relax and kind of get clear and sometimes just get past the situation and then the aha moments or the insights come to me if I set that goal with my guidance. But a good on the other hand, a good to see that I've moved beyond something is when I don't get caught in with the hooks or wanting to prove or

just relax and accept like, okay, that's where they're at until they're going to at some point, you know, they're going to work on that or the and I don't have to force them. There's no competition. And when it comes to spiritual involvement, you know, it's just a matter of experience and time. And, know, the old Indian saying never judge a person unless you've walked a mile on their moccasins and, you know, know where they're coming from. Yeah. And in what you were sharing about

handling that situation, it reminds me of that. You know, I don't need to save anybody because you know, they're not lost. I don't need to fix anybody because they're not broken. They're perfect for what they've come to do. And so the, the, I'm not bottom line is I'm not here to change anyone. There you can do that. Now I can be an inspiring force. You can be an inspiring force.

But in the end, there's no way for me to invoke change in the individual. But if I come back to that place where I can't change you and you certainly cannot change me, right? So I don't want to put that on you, just like I don't want you to put it on me. Then, you know, that settling inside happens. And then I can share on those hot topics from that

very secure position or place that is less stimulating for me and the other person because I'm not trying to change them. I'm just sharing a perspective and a point of view and I still have respect for you, but this is how I see it. And the other thing that you're talking about and going back to my story about the like

simple situation turns into a big deal is, am I clear of why I'm there? Am I clear? Am is my direction set? Not only for the moment, but for my life? That sounds like a tall order, but it's actually a lot simpler than it sounds, right? Meaning that if I know if I'm at a job, or I'm doing a project, or I'm working with this person to get from point A to point B,

I can then relax and start recognizing why I'm there. And I can be of service. I don't have to lose my position or think I'm giving something up or someone's winning over me. That's the big intellectual thing in our society competition, right? If I'm in that mode of just, know why I'm here. I know what I'm doing. You know, maybe it's just for money.

I'm here to earn money and be of service. Okay, great. Or hey, I just need to get from point A to point B. Great. Or hey, I love this job and I'll do it for free. It's so awesome. Great. It does. It's all the same as long as I know what I'm getting out of it. If I have that clarity, they're all the hooks of society just slide off me. They don't even it's like just nothing.

Because I'm able to just say, I know why I'm here. And if you want to go get involved in competition, knock yourself out. I have a job to do because I know why I'm here. And that is a thing that changes everything. I'm willing to go past my old, what did you say? Thought habits. I'm willing to go past the thought habits and stay cleansed in that situation because I'm relaxed. I'm not trying to prove anything.

It's interesting because the word that comes to me as you're talking is that's loving consideration. That's it. Great, great phrase. Yeah, recently, my guidance had given me a message or shared with me a message when I was regrouping in one of our in one of the way showers college courses. And with some of the materials that it's important that I get what is my 50 %? What am I there to get out of this situation? That's another way of what

you just said, I believe, you know, is that what's my purpose? Or what am I there to accomplish? And then what's the 50 % there that I'm to be of service? And then so when I have both of that, rather than just one of them, if I just have what I'm there to get out of it, well, now it's all you know, there's going to be I'm going to be confused. If I have, at least in this opportunity to be on planet Earth.

If I am just about the other person, I'm going to leave myself out there's that's confusion too. So as long as I have that 5050, then I it's easier to move with that. It's almost a feeling for me. It's a feeling of strength or energy or a bound boundaries or boundless or like, it's a feeling of I don't it's not hard to stay relaxed. It's

I have a buffer, you might say, is another way of putting it. What about that story you were telling about? ⁓ Yeah, that well, I'll tell you the final. Let's do some final words here, tiger. Well, start. Okay, got this story. I do have a something real compact to help. Teresa and I were working on a ⁓ program not too long ago. And we were instructing some people. And I was regrouping

that I was watching Teresa do her thing. And I realized, wow, you know, there's a lot of genius here. There's like this is the she's in her niche. You know, when someone's in your niche, their niche, it's it's a special thing to be around people like that. There's a lot of enthusiasm. There's it's fun. The energy gets high. It's it's and I I was thinking, wow, that's that's really great. And then

I was as I was regrouping that I really, you know, like attracts like, so my guidance, my destiny got me to that position to see in this case, my, my co instructor do that. And you know, you say that if you spot it, you got it kind of thing. And so it reminded me that, okay, I have some of that.

Because otherwise I wouldn't be inspired and recognize that. so the, that's that to me coming back full circle on the clarity of things. It's balancing out that big intellect that I can, want to do better. want to, I need to do this coming back home to that balance of saying, ⁓ I've, I've brought myself into this situation or

My, my guides have helped me get here or however you want to call that. Right. And here I have surrounded myself with people who have some genius. So that must, that tells me I'm on the right track. And likewise, when I don't feel that connection, when I don't feel it's like, Hey, I got myself here. What do I need to do? Right.

It's the same thing. It's just letting me know where I need to move toward or where I need to start releasing. And it's that simple. If I put the rights and wrongs in it, I'm going to get all ticked off and my energy is going to get blown and I'm going to be clouded from one thing. I'm going to bring the cloud with me from one thing to another. I think I'm going over there to get a clear day, but I'll just bring the darn cloud with me.

Wherever I go, there I am, right? So until I'm willing to have that clarity in the moment and be here now, I'm just going to bring that same stuff with me. But then when I do have those aha moments and I'm around people that have that kind of thing, take that into my appreciation for like, wow, look what I'm surrounding myself with. Even if it's that moment, it's like, okay, I must have that. I want to do more of that.

How do I do more of that? And that's where my guidance could come in. Great clarity. What about you with clarity, Tom? Well, on that note to that final word on clarity, Tom. Yeah. Who knows what Tom's going to say? Everybody let you be clear. Go on. ⁓ Well, just on that note that it's it's people that have their own aha moments is that we were sharing earlier today. And I think this is related that I had.

recently recorded an episode on enthusiastically spiritual where I did about less than 10 minutes on mental gymnastics and feeling clear after work and how to maintain that feeling of the vacation smoothness and balance and relaxed feeling. And I was sharing some insights about how to do that. You can check that one out on enthusiastically spiritual and a colleague of ours or one of our

The people that follow us had an interesting story where they pick something up from that podcast and it wasn't really what I was. So I thought I was talking about, but it, it was related and it was so cool because they just went, wow. Here's an area I need to learn and grow in. And here's a solution for me. So it really hit home that I never teach anybody anything.

All I if I just share what I'm putting together for myself with some basic facts of how I see things working here on planet Earth, it allows people to have their own aha moments, beautifully saying their own clarity. That's how it relates to clarity. So that's a great place to end on that cloudy note that we started with and then seeing the sun come through and radiating the clear rays how bad at the end. So thank you all for listening to another episode of

spiritual perspectives, discerning news, we hope that you got some clarity. And if you also come across moments where there's some clouds going on around you, or you can't really get that cleared, that clear perception, work with your guidance and see how you can maybe get some more spiritual insights for yourself than how to move forward in a clear way. We'll see you next time. And what time? if you need to find out all about guidance, check out the link below where we have some free videos and a booklet.
