All right, so this week we're going to be shifting up our sharing. You guys ready? Yes. Yeah, here we are on these lovely, lovely couches and nice intimate environment here just for ourselves and our listeners. Well, so yeah, this week it's I felt the Uranus and Gemini shift, which is a seven year shift. So that to me kind of woke and shook my entire being. So I'm ready to take it to a different.

a different not so I thought that we would change our scenery a bit today and then be more conversational and and just kind of see where it goes so I want to start the conversation with this week I had an interesting luncheon with someone and it started with basically we know just sharing and just kind of conversing and then she shared that her daughters contemplate and leave in Iowa after she gets done well she did finish her school but she's ready to move on to somewhere different

And I said, you know, what's interesting is I was recently, you know, we did an episode, our last episode, we talked about Zach Lane, who's a, who's coming up as a politician. And do you know him? Because he's really big about, you know, the future generations and what's happening with Iowa with people leaving the kids, younger generation leaving and all kinds of other issues. And, and then it went right down into the politics stuff. And, you know, I felt like I could share freely with what my view of politics are. And a lot of times I'm, I hold back a bit.

And I refrained from it because it's like, there's no reason to get people all stirred up with their on the left or the right or whatever, right? But this week I just went into it and it was interesting because she started asking me questions about, know, like, let's say Trump, know, well, you know, what do I think about his personality and what do I think about this? And so I just wanted to kind of bring into the mix the point about like no longer holding back things we really want to say.

You know, mean, there's place and time for things. And I mean, especially with certain people. And, you know, I know, for one thing that, you know, some on the difference, both both sides of the spectrum get fired up and, and feisty and I don't want to frickin go there. Right. But it's just interesting that there's a major shift in the energy. I wanted to open up with that. Yeah, I'll start on that. I mean, for me, the theme of the month that we're moving into is B long, right? B long, so B dash long.

not belong, be long. And, and for me, what I've been, what I'm hearing and what's also been stimulating for me is I need to make sure that I'm projecting where I'm going, I need to be a part of that. I can't just ⁓ be caught up in little games. And there, there is no one that's going to do

for me what I've come to do. And you know, we talk about that a lot, but it's just been coming up more. And I think the not only these keywords that we have for the month help stimulate that, but it certainly is present in that. What do I really want to be a part of? What do I need to be a part of? And to me, that's that that's why I brought up that thing about be long.

What, am I projecting? Where am I involved? Where am I going to be? Because I, if I keep doing the same thing, I'm going to get what I've always got. So it's time to start shifting into the plateau that I'm moving toward. And we were just sharing a little bit before in the green room. Okay. What do we want to be a part of now? And for me that that's that energy of making it.

adventurous and practical, reaching the people that I've come to work with, learning from the people that I've come to work with that I haven't met yet. So who do I need to be to do that? What do I need to start doing? Because I can't keep playing with my old habits. I need to start working with my spiritual helpers, the universe in a more expanded way. And then I'm going to start working with expanding.

with other things. That's how it's going to work from the inside out. It's not going to work the other way around. Well, what comes to mind is that the culture is changing. And I saw a recent podcaster comment on this, that he's moving away from political commentary to more cultural observations and commentary. And the more I sort of reflect upon that, I go, yeah, it really is.

I have my several decades of experience in a certain American culture, for example, or even world culture, world perspective. And that is ⁓ being modified over time, which I guess is a natural... I suppose when you were in the Romans and the Romans were in charge of everything, they felt like their culture was changing. There was periods of time where that changed. And prior to them becoming...

the world superpower, the Romans, the folks that were living in Britain or France, you know, what we now call France, we're probably saying, geez, our culture is beginning to change. Look at these Romans. They're moving in and Romans. Yeah. So, and I suppose with, ⁓ homo sapiens and Neanderthals, boy, I can come up with lots of examples, can't I? So the Neanderthals like Jesus, these guys are changing our culture. And, ⁓

reproducing with our women and my God now we all got a little Neanderthal in us. So that's important if I'm going to be a spiritual leader and I want to work with people to help them unfold their natural spiritual abilities, psychic gifts and help, which really the purpose of that is to help get back to that bigger picture perspective of who they are as an immortal spiritual being, as a soul.

Yeah, and it's interesting because for myself, I get I tune into the energy that I resonate attracts people. Yeah. And for those that are not attracted to my energy and and or not ready to go there, they're not going to be coming towards me. And by you're saying about, you know, like and how this is this is how it's been forever. Right. Like, you know,

when you're out in the tribe, like some tribes are going to gravitate toward others. Some are going to be like, I want to kill you because I don't gravitate towards you and I want to take your place. know, and this I'm sure has happened for the millennial, as long as there's been, you know, souls on the planet and probably even dinosaurs were like this, too. Well, they were territory, territorial, survival of the fittest. That's what I'm talking about. But as far as and you're saying a spiritual leader and, know, and influencing or leading others, but every single person on the planet

is a leader of themselves. And so finding the ways that they resonate with, you know, they're the people they love close by and the people they work with, and that's their own personal ⁓ exploration and adventure. Yeah, it's definitely a foot, you know, it's it's present. And I think it's there for myself and everyone to work with. I know we've been regrouping about this from time to time, but I've been seeing it in my

environment. And in the last, since our last recording, I've noticed that there's seems to be more opportunity that I'm attracting to be able to work with people in a way that I wasn't able to do before. And that goes for people that I haven't met, and I meet them on the spot, or people that I've known for a long time. And so there's that

It's like it's almost like when I'm sensitive and relaxed, there's like a calling there. It's like a door that's a little bit more open than there was before. And whether that's just for just good old fashioned camaraderie and social, or whether that's actually having a conversation that's more spiritual oriented or something more deep, rather than chitty chat or the weather. I've been noticing that. And the thing that I've been

sensitive to and this goes back to that be long, you know, and we and you know, we were grouped with that in the the subscriptions that we have when they get involved, get a chance to regroup with that. The reawaken the reawaken it. It's I'm becoming much more sensitive. I've always been sensitive to but it's just highlighted more in my face this last week. And I think moving into this month is being more obedient and to follow those impressions.

is like, there's the opportunity. Don't do what I've always done. Take that step. Be long, right? With like, communicate and go the extra mile because it's not necessarily just for them. It is so that I have a good conversation for myself in that moment, but it also sets my energy. It helps me go where I need to go. And that's why I think for

our brothers and sisters sometimes, and even people listening to this, is they forget that they're manifesting their crew. are creators and they're creating their future right there. I'm creating my future right now. And if I bring the best of me, even if I have faults, if I bring the best of me, I know I, but I'm trying to, I'm starting to seem human. I'm pretty human.

I can get as messed up as the rest of them, but the, if I bring my best, am setting myself up to move forward and up. If I do what I've always done, or I get caught up in someone else's game, I'm going to stay, stay on the same plateau or go down. And it's that simple. It's not, not rocket science. I don't have to have some pedigree.

or some big fancy thing to know this, it is just gravity. If I keep working with this, I'm gonna get that. If I work with that over there, I'm gonna get that over there. It's all about what do I wanna be a part of and am I bringing it in the conversation. So this reminds me of a topic of discussion we had or some opportunity for awareness that I came across. I started becoming more aware of some ideas.

or the reality of things in that.

being aware of what's my business and not my business. getting back to what Teresa opened with regards to politics is it struck me that many times when someone has an opinion about something, they really don't have any facts or they haven't even bothered to explore the facts because they've just, they want

what's happening in their outer environment to align with their ideology. And ideology is another fancy way of saying, with my intellectual concepts, with my intellect. And so they're not getting a feeling, they're staying in their intellect. So it's like that semi-intellectual state of consciousness. So they start reacting from their emotions. And then, you know, there's so much of this, people reacting from their emotions and not listening that we...

shy away from wanting to share about political things, especially those of us who work with people. And it doesn't feel great anymore because we used to be able to kind of share that. mean, I think earlier in my life of the several decades that I have, you know, it was, it was okay. You know, nobody really got mad at you for, you know, being a Republican or a Democrat. It, there was always the comments back and forth, but

They were a little you still drank your beer and play pool and you know, through the football and yeah, it was you know, and yeah, give them an opportunity to get you know, heckle you a bit they might but it wasn't like it is where it gets so ugly now, you know, or there's such a cut off of communication. I'm gonna I'm gonna talk about that just for a second. And I think that's the part that that I see you're bringing up here is that need to

to break out, to need to move forward. And everyone, whether I recognize it or the person recognizes it or not, is a leader of themselves. You said that in the green room. And if that's, I think that's the part to inspire myself, to inspire people, because I can have that again. We can have that again with people.

But I have to be smarter than the average bearer. I need to be more feeling than the average. need to move above the average. Otherwise, I'm going to get sucked into an average lifestyle. So when someone says something, if I broach it and someone says something in the back, I cannot afford to get under pressure.

I cannot afford to take it personally. I can't afford to do that anymore. It's too expensive. I need to say, well, that sounded pretty rough. Why don't we try it this way? Right? Like, ⁓ am I in charge of my energy or am I going to be reactive in my energy? Because I find at least the people who are attracted to me, not all the time, but most of the time people want to come up to that higher level of working. They want to be able to come.

to have that friendly, you know, camaraderie, maybe it'll jab here and there, but be able to, to, to be together, to, have that unity. And so for me, the, I'm just being reminded that I have to be, I have to be willing to let people go. Tom has a great story about that, about your apprentices and stuff like that. But ultimately, if I'm to be able to work with the people I've come to work with and

people I don't come to work with, I have to be a leader of myself. I've got to be free and respectful of where people are at. that's what you're bringing up. I need to accept people where they're at. Not everybody comes to, I don't come to work with everybody. Not everybody comes to work with me. ⁓ But I can be respectful of those people and their journey. And I can be respectful of myself in that manner. Yeah. So respecting ourselves.

There's another thing that was said at this luncheon I was at that brings up this whole part of what we're talking about right now. When I do my part, which is my spiritual work for anyone out there listening, right? If you do your part and you recognize that we're all human, we're all having our ups and downs. like we're talking about here, we're having our the left and the right I love. And I love this. I hate that. Right. But how do how do we as individuals react or move through things? So this lady says to me,

you know, well, you know, we should not be in Iran, we should not be over there. And so I took a moment, I just let my felt into it. I'm like, a, I don't need to respond to that. Because she was, you know, that was her feeling. And I could feel that like, what am I going to say back to that? What I want what what I was saying inside of myself is, she may not have any facts of, you know, like, or thoughts about, you know, how long has Iran hated Americans?

wanted to kill us and probably many others on the planet. And do they have nuclear armament? And if they do, are they prepared to use it at some point, which is perhaps a yes, and say, kind of like, hey, we're ready to, you know, to kill everybody. But so coming back to that part about, you know, being human and moving through things when other people are at different places, energetically and in their belief systems, for myself doing the work. And that's why

I love what we have been doing for years and that the reawaken membership and how important it is to understand how I work with my energy of right now. It's not about last month, last year, five, 10 years, it's about right now. Because like you're saying, I'm setting up my energy for the next step, the next opening, the next thing. And you know, if I'm all stirred up inside and angry and furious and

No, we should we should be there because you know, they've got this and coming at her. There's no reason to do that for myself. So it's really just a reckon recognizing the importance of for myself, understanding how to work with my energy and how to work with someone else's when they're in a different place than I am. Anyone. So I come back to this idea that like, what's my business and what isn't my business. And we've shared about that on other episodes.

Yeah. So one of the things that would like kind of want to, I had this insight, this aha, that when people get involved in those kinds of discussions, there's this point where, I mean, it's great to get involved in discussions at the right time in the right place, but there's so much of it that goes on that I have to say, like whether we should be in Iran or not is a

probably a good topic to make this point on is that how much of it is my personal business? In other words, I have no, until there comes time to vote for someone, ⁓ I have an opportunity to share my or express my opinion on it based on what my philosophies and how I feel things could go. it's within that,

⁓ moment, like, let's say I'm doing business with someone and transacting in that moment, like it's none of that I had a customer last week that brought up something about, in fact, the guy was a judge in the federal judge. And he said, I said, yeah, you know, and somehow the conversation got on that former director, I mentioned I had been in the FBI.

that the former director, Comey, has just been indicted. It's in the news for his post-86-47.

And ⁓ he says, gosh, yeah, you now they're using lawfare. And I said, well, yeah, so did the other side. You know, I just made that one comment and I just listened to him and, and he goes, well, maybe I've, you know, I probably shared too far. I no, no, it's no, no problem at all. You know, just express how you feel about it. And, ⁓ but it really struck me in that moment that

what so many of these things, it's not even my business. I'm not in the FBI right now. I'm not in the department of justice. I'm not running, you know, these investigations. So it's really my business is being of service to this customer who is buying some, you know, technical equipment. And that's my business. And I, I guess that's, ⁓

I had a kind of a whole new awareness of, well, you know, the reason people often get caught up emotionally and go off on a tirade about something like that. It's a great, ⁓ decoy from what I'm here to do. That's sometimes all that can be such a decoy when really how much of it is my business. I know there is an element of it.

Getting back to that theme that we're always talking about, what about the business of you? The business of me has to take precedent in terms of my inner leadership and staying relaxed and working with my feelings as well as my intellect. No matter what's going on in the world and no what we see or what other people are expressing. Yeah, and I want to carry on that. So what is my business doesn't mean that I ignore

things that are important to me or that I don't have an opinion about in this case Iran or whatever's going on. It doesn't mean that. But if I don't have, if I don't prioritize where I'm at and prioritize what I'm doing, I am in, I'm on a decoy mission. I'm being off on some tangent because I'm not fulfilling the moment. I'm not here a hundred percent with the person.

that needs my help. I'm not 100 % with me in the moment here with myself and my body, let alone being able to hear spirit and the bigger picture. Right? So that's a that's a essential component of what's me what's not me. That's your intuitive gift is all about discerning like, okay, is this what I need to work? That's what you're saying? Is this what I need to talk about right now? Because I need to be in the moment.

I can't keep being in the past or the future. If I want to keep moving forward, if I'm in the past, when I'm trying to do work with someone or I'm in the future, as I'm trying to work with someone, I know what my future is going to be. It's going to be what I've always got. If I can be in the moment and keep building, my future will be different. I won't keep doing the same thing. And, and your great point about

where I need to be and working with people because it's like, it is ⁓ a sigh of relief spiritually I find working with people, you can almost see them as a soul, see the real them, breathe a sigh of relief like, when someone says, relax, you can be yourself with me. I'm not going to judge you.

especially with someone who has that concern, right? I mean, you have the ruffians that'll give a damn, but it's nice to be able to work with people at that level and be free because that's what you opened with, right? That's that feeling of being free all the time. Well, I think that's where a lot of people are feeling right now. The energy's changed. We're in a different place right now than we've ever been in history, right?

And so it's an opportunity to not hold back. It's an opportunity to really focus and be the best version of ourselves in this moment. Well, I want to add to that and just to refine what you're saying. I had an experience this week where because I wasn't clear where I began and ended, I wasn't discerning. I had a conversation with someone and I think within the hour

I went back to what I was doing. I had a conversation and I was fixing some things and I was putting up a light and stuff like that. And when I got done with that, I noticed as I was putting the light on and stuff, I started dropping stuff and that's not my usual thing. Like I was up on a ladder and it's dropped and it's frustrating. You go back down the ladder, you pick it up, come back up. I did that three times, three times with different stuff. And then I was like, Oh, what's going on there?

And so I go back to the house and I'm doing little mundane stuff like shaving and, doing some laundry stuff. I'm starting to drop stuff. I'm like, what's going on with me? I'm having some kind of episode or something like what the hell. And it wasn't until later that I started, got really frustrated. I stopped and let me just relax and do that cleansing technique that we show people and say, what's going on here. And I realized I was picking up the person I was talking to.

those hours ⁓ earlier. I was working with their vibration. I didn't do have that clear where I began and end with them. I was operating. was reacting still to their where they were at. It's that subtle. It's that subtle. And here I am. I'm manifesting that I can't even keep my shaver in my hand, you know, and things like what's going on here. This is so weird.

And it wasn't until I clarified that that it stopped. Because I started getting concerned. I had to get in the car and go someplace like, I going to have an accident? So that simple thing of where do I begin and end with things, because it will affect me. And the more sensitive I am, it's going to keep going. So you can imagine people who don't know the bigger picture, which is why we do what we do. For those listening, that's why we.

have those subscriptions and stuff. We're not trying to just sell membership. This helps. This really helps. If I didn't catch that, if I didn't come back to that, yeah, it's the theme of belong and I need to check with my helpers and I need to cleanse and here's that thing we were working on this month. If I hadn't come back to that, I probably would have had an accident because I just would have kept going in that cascade of

not so good habits coming back or in being influenced is the word I was looking for by other things around me. Yeah, and I think that's part of understanding your spiritual part and like we're saying how we work with it each and every day is that that awareness, that discernment is priceless. I mean, you know, if people recognized how often they're picking up on other people's energies, how often they're

someone's thinking about him and it's maybe not in a good way and then things happen to him. It's that ability to discern and the awareness that builds over time, especially when you consistently work on it. Yeah, I had a similar experience this last week. I can't remember, but I remember telling Teresa about it. I wish I could because it was, you know, it gets back to that we're souls and so we're energy and everything is energy is one of those

Comments or those lines that we and it seems real share with people but it's profound yeah, and I had involvement with someone and it was I remember was like some time after the Meeting and I it wasn't a negative experience much or anything, but I know that there was some confusion there they were working with and and maybe they'd asked me a bit about it and and so I hadn't really

you know, use that cleansing, a quick cleansing technique or, you know, we say cut our energy, cut my energy from that situation. And I started thinking these, I started having these same, you know, feelings and things, you know, were showing up for me. So this is all real stuff. And I guess it's as a, as a new person, like if you just hearing this and you're wondering what, you know, okay, I, I get that idea that I'm a soul and

You know, I might have ESP and I've had deja vu experiences or something, but our subscriptions help you really look into new ways of concepts and seeing where you get caught up, you know, from manifesting your heart's desire or feeling happy and free or feeling that sense of adventure because of, you know, the concepts and ideologies we have about ourselves, the limiting thoughts and thought patterns, you might say.

So it's, is like an adventure. I'm here as a soul in this physical body and I'm exploring who I really am in and what I'm here to do in my capabilities. And, you know, ⁓ but so is everyone else. You know, we all were all that soul. So how do we find solutions? Well, guess what? We're pioneering being involved here on planet earth. You're actually pioneering. How does this feel to you? But that you're pioneering.

your own spiritual awareness and growth. And I like to say the universe is a benevolent place. It's all the love and expansion and that you want to have is available. But it's a step by step process. Yeah. And so in recognizing the all the above, Tom, like I said, and the importance of that and that, you know, we started this podcast with the emphasis on what's going on in the world. News stories.

Because that's something that's well, everyone's experiencing at this moment, right? Like this past week, we had a couple things that have been going on. had or are having at the moment that Trump is contemplating pulling out 5000 troops from Germany, which is quite a bit of troops. And then we also had the well, the gas issues a big deal. That's going on. The gas prices filled up last night. And I was surprised, you know, here in Iowa, just how expensive it was again. Yeah. So so it's, you know,

issues that hit us close to home because the gas one does because we all have to fill up our cars. Yep. And the Germany ones a little further away. But there's something there too that obviously can affect us and who we are, especially as Americans, you know, pulling out of a country and but what's behind all that. so recognizing as we're, you know, talking about some of the personal things that we've been going through lately and things that like our everyday incidences, so to speak, that are, you know, more

more spiritually based at work. That's why we're regrouping them and understanding when these things happen in the world, you know, how to stay relaxed and calm when other people are freaking out that the gas prices and Trump and the Republicans and yada yada yada and Germany and how to stay relaxed with all of that as these things every day, every week, as we've been talking about this has been almost a year and a half we've been doing this podcast on this specific topic of discerning the news.

how to stay relaxed with it all as we as we move through these things that come up all the time. Yeah, I mean, there's a we have a saying, facts keep the spooks out and spooks keep the facts out. Right? Or confusion doesn't like facts is another way to say it. Right? Because the moment I get factual with things, and I start clarifying things, then my bad habits

and other people's bad habits can't be there. Right? It starts becoming plain that, ⁓ that's my preference. That doesn't have to do with the facts. And that's part of a reminder for me as we've done this for that amount of time now, comes back to that, that I have to be use my instincts.

and work with the bigger picture before I enter into anything with anyone, because everyone, I shouldn't say that, majority of people, and certainly a lot of the news outlets these days will lead with emotion. And that's normal. mean, right? That's what's going to engage people, right? know, it's, know, missiles headed towards.

whatever, film at 11. You know, it's like it gets your brain to react. Yeah, you have a they want you to to get pulled in. Because that's how they you know, baby needs a new pair of shoes. That's how they get paid. Yeah, titillating. That's a word. Can I use an example? I saw a YouTube video as I was scrolling through sort of the news stories. And it was about Donnie and Marie Osmond. And the headline was the

They actually loathed each other, you know, and so, because we all remember Donnie and Marie as being this wonderful little, you know, brother and sister act and how sweet and so forth. I thought, boy, there's a classic example of feeding the headline. And I bet you as I listened to the video, he doesn't really say that much. It just pulls you in. But it pulls you in because everybody who's had a brother or sister says, ⁓ yeah, I would get so mad at them. But anyway,

⁓ it gets your brain to react. So then I'll come back to, know, they might've had some internal fights. Is that even any of my business? Is this really going to now, if I find it entertaining, there's probably, or I want to delve into it. There might be something for me to regroup there about my relationships with people or my brothers and sisters. But it's a good example. It's like, you know what? That's their brother and sister relationship.

Nothing to do with me, none of my business. But these days, everything is our business. But my brain wants to go up. ⁓ or that's what that's what is put out there. Yeah, they put it. I have the little phone and the iPad and they put it right in my lap. Right. Everything keeps coming screaming in there. And the algorithm is such as the moment I click on something, then the thing says, I'll give you more of that. Right. So if I'm being hit in an emotional state and I'm clicking

I'm going to get more of that to feed my bias. Right. And that's that going full circle back to your point about inner leadership. If I feel myself going someplace, I have the power to change it. And if I don't think I have that, I am in a fairy tale. If I am playing with my bad habits and I don't want to do that, I'm in a fairy tale.

I'm in a fantasy that I can't change that this, and this is going to sound controversial, but if I get myself into a depressed state and I don't move out of that, I am feeding a fantasy because I've lost the perspective of who I am and why I'm here. I cannot be, I've been depressed. mean, some people are more depressed than others, but I've had that happen to me. I'm sure you've.

All had that, you know, worry and guilt or anxiety and depression, you know, the two sides of the coin. We've all had some of that. It's just degrees of where I'm working with it. I can't be in those places. If I remember who I am and why I'm here, if that is present for me, that is it's not possible for me to do that and be in that place for very long or

If I do let myself slip into it, it's a light amount and I can get out pretty easy. But when I forget the big picture and why I'm here and to be long, ⁓ can go any place. And I've got news for all my sisters and brothers. When I start spiraling down, when you start spiraling down, there is no end. You will find new bedrock.

to drill down into, to go down into a hole. you ⁓ know, like I said, say, you know, the great place, the great thing about hitting rock bottom, it's a great place to build from because you've got something solid there. But the point is, is that that inner leadership that you're bringing up is so potent, so powerful. Someone can change their life just like that, just by deciding who I am, where I came from.

and where I'm going and it sounds silly. I'm sure people hear it all the time, but I cannot be in that negative place. I can't be involved in my negative habits if I remember that. Yeah. So along with that, is of course about being human, right? That we're all human for myself. I recognize that I'm in a place now energetically that I no longer judge those who are in that state.

because there's so many people in different places in their life. And like you said, Tiger, I've been in those places too, or unhappiness, despair, whatever, or, you know, something tragic happened and it hit me like, you know, ⁓ a ton of bricks. But I no longer judge people where they're at. I know that it's somewhere that they're moving through something. And I recognize in myself that when I see that, okay, we spot it, we got it, right?

But it's something maybe that I've mastered or I've moved through and not to judge where anyone else is at. Especially those like really close to me that in the past I was like, I want to help save you. I know this is something that can help you. I'll fix you. I'll fix you. No, don't judge. you know, I give a step back and then if people want to want to reach out or ask for some support then that then that's where I show up. Right. Until then I just I just don't judge anymore. And I used to judge a lot.

There's no question. What the hell are you doing? Right. Come on. But then like, you know, I've had my brother and my dad die of alcoholism. And, you know, there's nothing I can do about that. They're in their own state. And that's the journey their souls take in this lifetime. And it is what it is. And there's nothing I can do. So I had to also learn from that experience, those two experiences specifically, how there's nothing I can do. had to surrender to what they needed to experience.

and what they put together for themselves, which is a horrific way to end life. I think it's so true that one of the as you know, going through the subscriptions and the materials we have and you know, these ⁓ step by step kind of unfolding new ideas and that acceptance that, you know, I accept myself and I accept when I've been stupid, you know, and I accept other people when they want to be stupid or

move through it. And it always reminds me of, ⁓ you know, that Christian ethic of love thy neighbor or as I think about homeless people, you know, that are crazy and living intense with drugs and all the stuff that they do. And, you know, that more that Christian ethic, the ⁓ from that, you know, the master Jesus was just like love those people.

expect those people and one of my mentors, he just did that. If there was a bum, he'd give him a bowl of soup. It used to be called bums in the past, homeless people. Hobos. That's proper anymore, Thomas. Yeah, well. And I prefer Mother Teresa. But see the light within that person, see the light within that soul. It's a feeling.

But knowing that I allow people to move through what they need to move through. Now I'm willing to help them and uplift them because, you know, to me there's easier way, you know, but it's that judging aspect. You know, I am ready to help, ready to be of service, maybe even set some boundaries for those folks so they wake up to themselves quicker. But I'm not going to judge that they're moving through that.

Like that's something the subscriptions have really helped me like notice when I'm falling into the habit of judging rather than accepting and more positively working with people and opportunities. Well, I mean, just to add to that point is there's no way for me to be a part of change or help people if I'm involved in judgment. That's the reality.

What happens is I'll help them a bit, but they end up going back to where they were because I'm involved in judgment. It's clouding. It's clouding what needs to happen, right? Whether it's the discerning is that my business or not business at that moment, whether it's am I saying the right thing at the right time. If I'm involved in that judging, like you're bringing it up.

I'm clouding the issue. I'm creating a greater and lesser than vibration. Whether I think about it, whether I know that or not, whether I say, no, I'm not doing that. Well, if I'm in judging, that's what's happening. And I know it sounds like semantics, but there is a difference between evaluating and judging. And they're subtle. It's very subtle sometimes, especially if you're intelligent. You know, you, you try to outthink your true feelings.

And that's where the mess is. So it's ultimately is if I can accept them as they are 100 % and not that I don't have to fix them because they're not broken. I don't have to save them because they're not lost. If I come from that perspective, then I'll know when to have the hand to help rise and when to say, no, they're not, they're not ready for that.

So we started the conversation today about my time with a friend and how I had some things come up that was, I felt very relaxed but very also empowered just to share from my perspective and not judged or anything. So I'd like to now kind of come around and just regroup the episode and what we kind of put together for yourselves. I mean, if you want to regroup your keyword, that'd be kind of cool. Sure. Well, my keyword is compel for our

get together. ⁓ You know, just coming back full circle to whether we're talking about Iran, or talking about the troops, ⁓ and then the subsequent things that are all come off of that, particularly for the Americans, you know, with the gas and how that affects things and the stimulus of the politics and things like that, you know, that

that has to do with, I, am I going to be driven by something outside of me or am I going to be moved by something inside of me? And if I know who I am and what I've come to do, then it's going to be much easier to make decisions and be at the right place at the right time. And any, any faults, any failures.

Anytime I fall down, I will get back up in the direction I need to go. But if I'm involved in something else, I'm got involved in my emotional trip or what's right and what's wrong and, know, who struck John and blah, blah, blah, blah, all this machinations that can go on. If I fall, I won't get up in the direction that I need to be moving. I'll get up in a.

opposite direction or a lateral direction, I won't get back up and move forward and I won't learn from it. That's the biggest thing I won't learn from the fall. I'll just go back and recreate the same situation over and over again. So for me, this week and some of the news, it's all about going back to the basics of making sure if I'm interested in that or I'm called to something to look at that I do it from

that bigger picture perspective. I do it from the facts perspective, not judgment, which is what you're bringing up, right? I'm not going to judge this. I'm going to get all the facts and then I'm going to evaluate based on what I need to do based on my spiritual thrust, based on what I've been learning in those subscriptions and so forth. That's going to be my path. And if I don't take that path,

Then in the end of the day, I'm at the mercy of everything around me, just as I got caught up in that person's energy. And then I started dropping stuff and things like that. That started affecting me. So really that's been coming back home to that inner leadership and what I'm taking away going into the future here, which is my perspective on it or my, prophecy going forward.

of how when things get stimulated, a bigger picture or a better future can get manifested. I can actually move forward cleaner. If I do something with what I have, if I keep getting caught up in the rhetoric, I'm going to go right back to where I always was. And I won't be able to inspire anyone.

I'll be back in the same old same home. So it was good, good regrouping and great to be sharing with people and great to be sharing with you, of course. And it's just all about that moving ⁓ by wisdom and living childlike. So my the keyword that I started out with this episode was expansion. And so I recognize that some of the topics we talked about and like, you know, inner leadership and

awareness and discernment. These are things that really help inspire me to keep expanding. And also when I'm expanding in my energy, those around me also feel it's a ripple, right? Like I think we talked about somewhat about last episode, we talked about the ripple effect of our energy and our energy, ⁓ how it moves out. So I think that's ⁓ my regrouping is yeah, just a great episode on expansion. So when

you know, ⁓ Tiger was sharing about judgment and, ⁓ not getting caught in it. Like the feeling behind it was really smooth and clear that when I'm in that mode, when I'm not judging, I feel more energy to be of service, not less energy. feel more clear. And that's what our subscriptions, you know, do is help people start to, know, experience their true feelings rather than

what they've been programmed. And a lot of times our emotional reactions, you know, in summary are harder. You know, it's, it's work to go through that emotional judging. It's this back and forth. And the thing that struck me was how, you know, some of those reactions that we have, I was sharing this earlier in the week was our, you know, they've worked for us. We've been taught to be competitive or to be judgmental, you know, in our first seven years.

But if I learn to let go of that, I can only let go until I have a new habit. And for me, that involves what's easier is to work from my feelings. And that was my keyword was easy. So there's my summary for today. Well said, sir. All right. Well, that's another episode down the hatch for us.

Down the hatch down the hatch. thank you for listening into another episode of spiritual perspective discerning news. We hope that you gathered some insights for yourself and for how you're experiencing what's going on in the world, what's going on in your local area and being relaxed about it. So cheers. We'll see you guys soon.

Usually.
