Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Coast to Coast AM. I am Lisagar.
Speaker 2: My guest is Derek Rye.
Speaker 3: Down.
Speaker 2: We're talking about AI and how this revolution can create
Speaker 2: a leap in human evolution. We've been told many in
Speaker 2: many ways that it is the demise of our own
Speaker 2: free will. And we were just talking before the break
Speaker 2: about how so many things are being decided for us.
Speaker 2: How do we possibly begin to think by ourselves for ourselves. So,
Speaker 2: if these things are being decided for us, Derek with
Speaker 2: basically without even out our knowledge, how do we circumvent that?
Speaker 2: How do we recognize it? How do we really exercise
Speaker 2: thinking for ourselves? Because it's so convenient.
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, Well, that's you know, convenience and comfort. If
Speaker 3: there is a devil, that is you know, it comes
Speaker 3: as convenient and comfort and before you know it, like
Speaker 3: I said, I did the frog boiling and water. But
Speaker 3: the yeah, the thing about it is even if you
Speaker 3: don't you have to even think about the AI. Whatever
Speaker 3: is the crisis are challenge you're facing, These ideas are
Speaker 3: going to help you get stronger, grow, you know, discover
Speaker 3: your greater potential ultimately elevate and emerge beyond whatever you're facing.
Speaker 3: But yeah, the first thing we're talking about here is
Speaker 3: that AI is going to think for us. It already is,
Speaker 3: and it's going to increasingly do that, and it's already happening,
Speaker 3: you know, where we can give over our thing that
Speaker 3: we need to get done and it's going to do
Speaker 3: it for us. And that is an amazing convenience until
Speaker 3: we cut to several years later and we don't know
Speaker 3: how to do it anymore. And as I said, it's
Speaker 3: so much smarter. It's going to know what we're thinking
Speaker 3: and feeling before we do, and then it's going to
Speaker 3: prompt us and guide us, and little by little, you know,
Speaker 3: if not dramatically, we're going to lose that agency. So
Speaker 3: one of the things we can begin to do now,
Speaker 3: and it's not easy, but it's necessary if you want
Speaker 3: to have agency and you want to be in the
Speaker 3: driver's seat, is we have to get familiar again with
Speaker 3: our own mind. You know, there's a reason why above
Speaker 3: the Oracle of Delphi it says know thyself. It doesn't
Speaker 3: say get a better job, lose five pounds, make sake figures,
Speaker 3: whatever it says, know yourself. There's two core principles that
Speaker 3: if you get these and you begin to align your
Speaker 3: life to these and really become committed to these, you
Speaker 3: can take back control and also begin to thrive at
Speaker 3: a whole new level. And that is you know yourself
Speaker 3: and be true to yourself, which can't be true to
Speaker 3: yourself if you don't know yourself. And we are distracted
Speaker 3: twenty four to seven from knowing ourselves. And so the
Speaker 3: first thing is begin to and you can even take
Speaker 3: a situation even now, where you're struggling with something. Maybe
Speaker 3: there's a conflict and you feel like a victim of it,
Speaker 3: or you feel afraid about it, and you can just
Speaker 3: begin to sit down. And as I talked about before,
Speaker 3: metacognition is the ability to think about what you're thinking about.
Speaker 3: It's the one thing we have that as far as
Speaker 3: we know, no other animals and creatures have it. We
Speaker 3: have the ability to become conscious of what we're thinking
Speaker 3: and to discover that our thoughts and even our feelings
Speaker 3: are not us. That I am the observer and these
Speaker 3: are objects of my awareness or consciousness, and I can
Speaker 3: begin to look at a problem I'm struggling with where
Speaker 3: I'm in it and I think it's happening to me
Speaker 3: and I have no space. In fact, the word responsibility
Speaker 3: means to have an ability to respond, to have a
Speaker 3: gap between the stimulus and response, And we can look
Speaker 3: at that and just begin to question. Just look at
Speaker 3: your thoughts, write them down and go like, what do
Speaker 3: I think about this? What is the story I'm telling
Speaker 3: myself about this situation? Take a step back, observe it,
Speaker 3: Recognize it's not you, it's a program running, And then
Speaker 3: you can ask some questions. You can say, why do
Speaker 3: I think this way? What are my beliefs about this
Speaker 3: situation or person or myself around it? Why did I
Speaker 3: make these choices or take these actions? When did I
Speaker 3: first think or feel this way? What are the core
Speaker 3: beliefs it's bringing up? Like so that's the beginning, right,
Speaker 3: and then and you want to again, it's not always
Speaker 3: easy when you first start looking at your mind. It's
Speaker 3: kind of a circus in there. But if you start
Speaker 3: to you know it is, it's like crazy. They call
Speaker 3: it monkey mind for a reason. And you just start
Speaker 3: to observe and write down and then you can start
Speaker 3: to challenge it. Just like people are so good in
Speaker 3: this community and gratefully so all the stuff that's coming
Speaker 3: at us from politicians and media, question everything because most
Speaker 3: of it is not entirely true and some of it's
Speaker 3: completely false. So we've already got the skill in this community.
Speaker 3: But it's like, now, let's turn that on the media
Speaker 3: circus of our own mind and go, is this story
Speaker 3: I'm telling myself true? Are the beliefs that I have
Speaker 3: about it true? Or am I reacting to an older
Speaker 3: belief an older story. So that's the beginning of starting
Speaker 3: to unpack and excavate and reclaim some dominion over our
Speaker 3: own attention, in our own mind. And I'm telling you this,
Speaker 3: no matter what's going on in the world and all
Speaker 3: of the lies and the deceptions and the conspiracies and
Speaker 3: the craziness, if you can reclaim dominion over your mind
Speaker 3: and you and be the one sitting back and looking
Speaker 3: at all the pr campaigns of your own ego and
Speaker 3: be like, haha, nice, try buddy, that's not true, and
Speaker 3: you can also go is that story serving me? Is
Speaker 3: it actually helping me get to where I want to go?
Speaker 3: And most of the time it's not. It's serving you
Speaker 3: to get to stay stuck where you are to feel
Speaker 3: like a victim, and then we end up projecting it
Speaker 3: outside of us and we give away our power. So
Speaker 3: this is the beginning of taking it all back.
Speaker 2: It's I mean, there are so many ways that you
Speaker 2: can do this and that I think it'd be great
Speaker 2: if we could actually flip it and start to think
Speaker 2: and hack the system in a way. Just as the
Speaker 2: word I mean UFO is now changing to UAP, and
Speaker 2: there's so many more. There's so much more proof that's
Speaker 2: coming out that the government has known that there have
Speaker 2: been unidentified aerial phenomena for a long time, and this
Speaker 2: is now starting to come out more. I wonder if
Speaker 2: you could actually start to speak in the terms of
Speaker 2: what you do know to be true or you know
Speaker 2: in the self help world, everybody is always saying you
Speaker 2: have to act as if it's already occurred. Well rather
Speaker 2: than questioning, what if you just hack the system and say,
Speaker 2: I have this amazing life, I have all the abundance
Speaker 2: I need, I have all the health that is perfect,
Speaker 2: and that starts feeding back to you. I mean, maybe
Speaker 2: there's some ways that you can actually hack the system
Speaker 2: by hacking your own mind to talk about the things
Speaker 2: that you want or that you have, that you are.
Speaker 3: Exactly I mean, well, that's the other exercise is our
Speaker 3: evolutionarily our mind and our brain is designed to look
Speaker 3: at what's wrong, what's missing, what I don't have, what
Speaker 3: I can't do, and where the danger is. Right, So
Speaker 3: that's the default. So we can begin to redirect. Again.
Speaker 3: Remember the real and original AI is you, the ancient
Speaker 3: All of the wisdom you are literally made of stardust.
Speaker 3: All of the information of every failed experiment from the
Speaker 3: time we were just little oneselled creatures to becoming conscious beings.
Speaker 3: Every lesson learned, every experiment tried and failed and everyone
Speaker 3: succeeded is in our large language model of our own mind.
Speaker 3: So all of that wisdom is in us, and we're
Speaker 3: like tapping in a tiny little percentage of it. Right,
Speaker 3: So yeah, so we can begin that. You know, first
Speaker 3: of all, I want it's very important. It's hard to
Speaker 3: hack the black box of our mind if we don't
Speaker 3: first recognize that our mind and all the beliefs and
Speaker 3: programs is not who I am. I'm the programmer, I'm
Speaker 3: not the program and so that's the first step. Otherwise
Speaker 3: you're just going to be in a reaction mode. And
Speaker 3: the problem with a lot of self help type of
Speaker 3: work is that it's usually just covering over what I
Speaker 3: already believe and feel and what is already you know,
Speaker 3: like I said, the UFO unconscious false observations, I'm already
Speaker 3: reacting to all of these unconscious things, and then I
Speaker 3: try to add on top of it, you know, you know,
Speaker 3: affirmations and positive thinking, and it doesn't usually work because
Speaker 3: you have a greater force in your unconscious. What it's
Speaker 3: important to understand that, like gravity, we are gravitationally pulled
Speaker 3: towards the largest object. So if our unconscious is mostly
Speaker 3: about where we've been or what we're afraid of or
Speaker 3: what's going to happen, the object of our gravitational pull
Speaker 3: is pulling us back or pulling us down. So we
Speaker 3: absolutely have to have a bigger and more compelling future,
Speaker 3: so that the object of our awareness of what we
Speaker 3: want to be and where we want to go is
Speaker 3: much bigger than where we are and where we've been.
Speaker 3: You know, like when you drive a car, there's a
Speaker 3: reason why the rear view mirror is really small and
Speaker 3: the windshield is really big, because you need to put
Speaker 3: most of your attention on where you want to go
Speaker 3: and get a little bit on where you've been. So
Speaker 3: we definitely have to reclaim that dominion over our mind.
Speaker 3: But then, and that starts with what I was saying,
Speaker 3: starting to question, take that ability to question everything out
Speaker 3: there and recognize the real X files are in us
Speaker 3: and start to question everything in here. Is what am
Speaker 3: I thinking? What am I believing? Is that true? Where's
Speaker 3: the proof? What did it come from? Am I running
Speaker 3: an old pattern and noticing this is just programming? Now
Speaker 3: you're back in the programmer seat, and you have some
Speaker 3: you actually free will. You don't have any free will
Speaker 3: until you have an expanded awareness of your programming. Before
Speaker 3: you have expanded awareness of your programming, you have what
Speaker 3: I call free won't. You're in resistance, you're in reaction,
Speaker 3: so you have to have an expanded awareness. You can
Speaker 3: look down and see what's going on. Now you have
Speaker 3: the beginning of choice. Then you can do what you're saying,
Speaker 3: which is where do I want to put my attention?
Speaker 3: Where do I want? What story do I want to tell?
Speaker 3: What story is more aligned with who I really am
Speaker 3: deep down and who I want to be? And then
Speaker 3: we can start telling a new story and reprogramming. But
Speaker 3: first we have to recognize this is a program we're
Speaker 3: already living in the matrix that was not a fictional story.
Speaker 2: Have you done this? I mean, have you hacked your
Speaker 2: own AI? Have you tried it?
Speaker 3: Girl? That's all I've been doing. I mean, you know
Speaker 3: my story, you know, I mean I've been through I'm like,
Speaker 3: my life's been like a little mini job story, you know.
Speaker 3: I mean, I've had a lot of the challenges, like
Speaker 3: so many people have had, of course, and ever since
Speaker 3: I was a kid, I knew there was more to
Speaker 3: myself and more to life, and I wanted to figure
Speaker 3: out a way to bring forth that potential in a
Speaker 3: sustainable and successful way, despite everybody around me telling me
Speaker 3: I can't or I should do this, or you know whatever.
Speaker 3: This is safer, this is conventional. But there's a course
Speaker 3: statement in the Bible that says, be not conformed to
Speaker 3: the world, but be you transformed by the renewing of
Speaker 3: your mind. So that's been an ongoing drive of mind.
Speaker 3: And then as I've gone through challenges, the death of
Speaker 3: my son, the loss of a fortune. At one point,
Speaker 3: you know, all kinds of challenges. Aren't need to go
Speaker 3: into them, but believe me, I've been through them. The
Speaker 3: only way for me to grow through those was to
Speaker 3: go deeper. When the challenges were arising in my mind
Speaker 3: was telling me all these things of you know, impossibility,
Speaker 3: and all the world's beliefs of what you can and
Speaker 3: can't do and should and shouldn't do. I had to
Speaker 3: dig a deeper well into my own being. And when
Speaker 3: you dig a deeper well into your own being, eventually
Speaker 3: you get down to the well being. And and you
Speaker 3: know all those stories about going out and finding the
Speaker 3: fountain of youth, No, you have to find the fountain
Speaker 3: of you, the fountain of you, and drink from that.
Speaker 3: When you learn to drink from the fountain of you,
Speaker 3: it will renew you, it will restore you. It is
Speaker 3: the original factory settings, you know, the true program of
Speaker 3: your being. And it's never been corrupted, it's never been diminished,
Speaker 3: it's never been destroyed. It never can be No matter
Speaker 3: what you've been through, no matter what you're going through,
Speaker 3: there is a program inside of you. I call it
Speaker 3: a seed of your purpose and potential plans in the
Speaker 3: soil of your soul. But we're talking about AI, so
Speaker 3: I'm using a metaphor of like that original program, and
Speaker 3: that program is perfect and it had just like in
Speaker 3: a seed, there is a program, there's a pattern, and
Speaker 3: it has everything it needs to fulfill itself well no matter,
Speaker 3: no matter what. So that's that's what That's what I've committed.
Speaker 3: My whole life is figuring out.
Speaker 2: So you've the difference between you programming yourself and being
Speaker 2: aware of it. I just want to know how do
Speaker 2: we do that? I mean, you're saying, be keep your individuality,
Speaker 2: be aware of yourself. Don't allow yourself to be suggested
Speaker 2: or taken for granted. I mean not for granted, but
Speaker 2: basically the extension of yourself to be on on the.
Speaker 3: We're being hit tized all the time, right by all
Speaker 3: of these means and all of these viruses of thoughts,
Speaker 3: and so, like I said, the first step in waking
Speaker 3: up is recognizing that our mind had not been our own,
Speaker 3: that most of our beliefs are not our own, most
Speaker 3: of the right. So we have to get that. But
Speaker 3: we can start to see we have power, we have agencies,
Speaker 3: and really begin to question and unpack and release and
Speaker 3: let go of many of the thoughts that have been
Speaker 3: running us, not by our own free will, and then
Speaker 3: the second thing is we can do, as you were saying,
Speaker 3: begin to reprogram, and that's a stage two. Once you
Speaker 3: know there's programs, you can reprogram them. You can start
Speaker 3: to decide, well, who do I want to be? What
Speaker 3: do I want to create? And you can start to
Speaker 3: align your thinking and create the programs that support that.
Speaker 3: But then there's a third stage, and that is there
Speaker 3: is already a perfect program, a perfect idea in you.
Speaker 3: And all of you have experienced this, your deepest heart's desires.
Speaker 3: Those A lot of it was when you were younger,
Speaker 3: and some of you still remember and have flashes of it.
Speaker 3: But this inner program is talking to you, and it
Speaker 3: shows up as the things that light you up.
Speaker 2: The things that a fire, yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all of that. But it also shows up as
Speaker 3: the things that break your heart that you know, like
Speaker 3: it's trying to tell it's a guidance system, the real GPS,
Speaker 3: your inner your inner God positioning or good positioning system.
Speaker 3: There's a real system in us. So the next piece
Speaker 3: is we have to get back in touch with that
Speaker 3: intuitive ability. And some tribes that have not been corrupted
Speaker 3: by society, they still got it. They can step in
Speaker 3: a lake in a river and communicate with another tribes
Speaker 3: member down the river. They can know what weather is coming,
Speaker 3: they can know what paths to take, you know, like
Speaker 3: all of that, Like the birds that can fly in
Speaker 3: the air and flock together in perfect form without ever
Speaker 3: talking to each other. We have that capacity and that
Speaker 3: my indication is it's not a fantasy. And we have
Speaker 3: to actually get back to basic training about really getting
Speaker 3: in fighting shape and getting back to our foundations of power,
Speaker 3: like I said, our original AI, so that we can
Speaker 3: think for ourselves, so we know how to manage our
Speaker 3: own inner programming, and so we can begin to get
Speaker 3: back in touch with our own inner guidance system.
