Uh, could you just tell us a little bit about, you know, your upbringing, what, a- and kind of the whole story?
1:23
Yeah.
1:24
Um, my s- my- my story begins with, um, a mother whose mother passed away at 13 days old.
1:33
And I say that that's where my story begins because our story begins with our parents really and everything that they experienced in life.
1:41
And since my mother didn't have her mother at 13 days old, then my mother was disconnected from her feminine, her, her heart, uh, and receiving the maternal energy of love.
1:54
Well, when she had me, there was no way that she could pass or give to me what she never received.
2:01
So I had a really deep feminine wound.

21:42
[laughs] Uh, but when you're at a certain vibration and energy, what does that do when you're elevated, when you're at the right frequency?
7:34
Okay.
7:34
And the work that I do is just energetic.
7:36
We typically want to question, number one, your money.
7:39
What's going on with your money? Because it's not money, it's energy.
7:45
And your money is trying to teach you something about you.
7:48
It's trying to reflect to you something about you.
7:51
So you can look into that.

10 MINS LATER

17:36
Yep.
11:32
...
11:32
the, the car, the wife, the kids, the big house, the, um, the friends, [coughs] and I was at the top of that mountain.
11:46
And what I didn't realize was deep in my heart and soul, I was severely disconnected from my heart and soul.
11:57
I was creating all of that mountain that I was looking down on so that I could stay in control So that you can continuously look up to me and admire me so that that could fulfill this void that was inside of me.
12:13
Some people do it with drugs.
12:14
Some people do it with alcohol.

20 MINS LATER

32:11
It's terrible.
33:53
actually, mother of my three
33:55
boys.
33:55
Yeah, absolutely.
33:56
Yeah.
33:57
And I felt caged in that relationship.
34:01
Again, you never blame anyone else.
34:03
It's always a hundred percent.

40 MINS LATER

74:26
It's a
5:52
Right.
5:53
And so when you pick a partner, it's not that the partner is the right partner or the wrong partner.
5:59
That, that partner was the right energetic match for you.
6:04
When you pick a career, it's not that the career was the right career or the wrong career, it's that that career was the right energetic match for you.
6:13
And what most people will, when they're honest with themselves, find is that typically there's like a vibrational match between both their partner and their relationship and what they do for a living.
6:28
If you don't feel fulfilled in what you do for a living, you're not gonna feel fulfilled in w- in your partner and your relationship.
6:35
That's one example, and then you get to ask the question why.

23 MINS LATER

30:03
Okay.
2:02
Mm-hmm.
2:03
Your entire life is dependent upon these two people, which are your caretakers, which is your mother and your father.
2:12
What you eat and if you eat or don't eat, um, what you feel, um, all of it, just from the way that they are looking down on you, they immediately start to imprint into your subconscious mind your beliefs around life.
2:29
So if your parents look down at you like this, you are thinking, "Oh my God-
2:36
Yeah, yeah.
2:36
But if your parents were in the middle of maybe a divorce or an argument or money issues or stress, anxiety, maybe drug issues, maybe, maybe abuse, you know, these are real things that happen in life, then you're looking up like, "I don't know if this thing called life is safe.
2:55
As a matter of fact, I feel like this thing called life is meant to be struggle." And you are thrust out of your heart, love, abundance, you are it all, connection with God, into the mind, and immediately your whole focus is, "How do I protect myself and keep myself alive," basically.
41:07
... yes, of course
41:08
... right? Yeah.
41:09
So here, here's, here's the best way that I can describe what has happened in my life.
41:14
So homework: g- go Google The Ladder of Consciousness by Dr. David Hawkins, and you'll, you'll notice at the, at the lowest realm of consciousness and energy is, like, shame, and at the, you know, there's, uh, guilt, there's desire, there's anger, and then there's courage.
41:35
And then above courage, there's acceptance, willingness, uh, love, and the highest energy that a human being can live from is enlightenment.
41:45
That's Jesus, Buddha, uh, Paramahansa Yogananda, like, all of them, right? So as I'm looking at this table, I'm looking at it, and I can't help but realize and notice that, like, let's call this side of the table fear and force.
42:03
Let's call this the bridge of courage, and let's call this side love and power, yeah? Because remember what I said: being you requires no effort.

8 MINS LATER

50:25
Yeah.
5:38
How do people get out of a low vibration?
5:41
Well, I can, I can only sh- I can only share the real answer.
5:45
It might be the uncomfortable answer.
5:47
But first, let's start with, like, the concept of energy.
5:52
At the lowest of the low, the lowest energy that a human being can live in, which by the way, everything is energy.
5:58
Everything is energy, is shameAnd just above it is guilt and the difference between the two, just to start, is guilt thinks and feels I did something wrong but when we live in shame we think and feel I am wrong.
6:16
And think about that.

26 MINS LATER

32:29
Hmm.
27:23
Mm-hmm.
27:23
And, you know, when we don't have the tools to understand this, we get afraid.
27:27
But, but what we actually could do is just have compassion and curiosity about those parts of ourself.
27:33
And so the body can be the doorway by you going into it.
27:38
And, uh, like one of the things that I've experienced is that when I ...
27:43
I, I remember this early on in my journey.
27:45
Um, I was about three years into my journey, and all of a sudden I just started feeling really, uh, different in my body.
29:12
Right.
8:42
What's your perspective on that when we talk about that?
8:45
I think there's two parts to the world, and there's two energies that we can live in as human.
8:54
First, I'll start with parts of the world.
8:57
On an energetic basis, this is not something you think, this is not something you consciously do, this is energy.
9:06
Everything is energy.
9:08
Everything that you see, everything that you experience, everyone that you see and experience.
9:14
And as such, we can either live in the energy of fear or love, okay? Now, when you look at the energy of fear, right underneath fear is separation, and this is really deep.

42 MINS LATER

51:05
We can go anywhere.
11:33
Mm.
11:34
And as you see yourself as a little boy or girl, just picture over your right shoulder your dad and over your left shoulder your mom, and when you picture your dad, I want you to picture the most handsome, glorious, he's in his best suit.
11:57
He's got the most beautiful smile.
12:00
He's like the dad that you wished would have been here for you in physical life.And when you picture your mom, you can do the same thing.
12:10
You can see her as the most glorious, happy, free, loving, caring version of herself.
12:19
Literally, you see your mother and father as kings and queens, and you revisit that moment and that feeling.
12:28
It changes your life forever.

55 MINS LATER

67:42
Yeah.
36:11
What are the, the material objective steps towards removing the elusive blanket of fear in our life?
36:23
[sighs] I'm, I'm just gonna say I think that is all dependent upon how deep you wanna go.So take Jesus, take Christ, for example.
36:42
Christ, Buddha they reach enlightenment and enlightenment is a state where all is one and there is no death, so there can be no fear.
36:58
And so Jesus reached a place where not only did he know he was gonna die but he was actually being crucified, and he had so much love and compassion inside of himself that he was telling God to forgive the people that were doing this to him.
37:15
In other words, he is the perfect example of transmutation.
37:21
He transmuted even the worst of the worst into love.
37:27
[sighs] And so when I, when I look at that and I look at the notion of fear and everything that we're afraid of and I look at, like, my own journey, I would say that the first thing you want to do is you want to seek truth and you wanna seek all of the ways in which fear has been interjected into your life.

19 MINS LATER

56:49
Sure.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
6:53
(laughs)
6:54
No.
6:55
And that, and that leads me to the second word, which is comparison.
7:00
And y- you know, guys, we can all live our lives from one of two energies.
7:06
It's either fear or love.
7:09
And, and the energy that is the, the, the bridge from one to the other is the energy of courage.
7:16
And the reason why I bring courage is because courage comes from love and comparison comes from darkness.

20 MINS LATER

27:19
(laughs)
10:24
Mm-hmm.
10:24
... which turned into the teenager that wanted to be married because I was looking for love outside of me, Lewis, imagine all of that had been stuck in my body for so long and it's just starting to shake and I'm like, "I need to go lay down." So I go lay down, man, and I'm finally admittedly, like, at my wits end 'cause it's like I've tried to make this relationship thing work and it's just not working and what, what is it? What i- wha- what's wrong with me, right? And I literally just asked the question and my body is shaking and I'm doing all of this and I'm like, "God, just show, just show me.
11:01
Who's the one? Who's the one?" Like, I, I, like, at that point, I was, I was, like, like, helpless basically, right? And my arm literally goes up like this and it points to God and then I'm not doing this.
11:19
This is my, my body is, spirits, whatever, I'm, you know? And then my hand goes like this.

51 MINS LATER

62:01
Mm-hmm.
62:02
And there's a reason why they were born the way that they were born.
62:05
And the moment that they start to cherish and honor and accept themselves for who they are and not change to f- to conform to what society wants of them or for what a man wants of them, they'll be in their power.
62:19
And from that power, they will attract, guess what, a man that is also in love with himself for who he is.
