Let's start with that. 72 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 3: Let's start with that. I was like being taught to 73 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 3: breathe throughout college, and I was way too young to 74 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 3: be understanding how to breathe at that time, So college 75 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 3: was a bust for me. So I've I think that 76 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: I really knew and believed that I was meant to 77 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 3: do the work that I do now be a spiritual 78 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: teacher in whatever form. When I was fourteen, Okay, so 79 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 3: I was at the time the president of the regional 80 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 3: youth group at my temple, and I recall feeling very 81 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: called to lead these weekends, Like we would do these 82 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 3: like retreat weekends in the temple, and I would be 83 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 3: almost like this like teenage sherpa like leading these weekends 84 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: and really lit up about the spirituality, not particularly the religion, 85 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 3: but the spirituality. And I was also brought up in 86 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,040 Speaker 3: a really spiritual home. My mom in some ways kind 87 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 3: of reminds me of what I think of your mom. Like, 88 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 3: my like perception of your mom is a little bit 89 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: like maybe it's like the archetype that I see her as, 90 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 3: but Mom's like super zany major hippie like would bring 91 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 3: me to the ashrums. When I was younger, I was 92 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 3: named by the gurus, I was taught how to meditate. 93 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 3: She would shut the door, an incense would be pouring 94 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 3: out of her room. So this is my vision of 95 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 3: your mother. 96 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: That's not far off, far off, right, Like she was 97 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 1: raised Jewish and then became a Buddhist. 98 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,239 Speaker 3: Like that's pretty much. Yeah, that's pretty much what I would. 99 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: Have to India for twenty five years, has hit up 100 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: every asrom. 101 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: Rempuchet, Yes, sleeping over. 102 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 2: And I was married by yeah right, yeah. 103 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 3: Yeah we are. We are cut from the same cloth here. 104 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 3: And so that seed was planted at a really young age, 105 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 3: and that was really a gift for me because while 106 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 3: I had this beautiful spiritual foundation of learning how to 107 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 3: meditate and being introduced to these principles, I also really 108 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 3: felt and connected to spirit at that time. When I 109 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: would meditate, my extremities would go numb and I would 110 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 3: feel really connected to something beyond my physical site. And 111 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 3: then I turned my back on that for probably my 112 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: early adolescence and most into my high school and college, 113 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 3: and I started to try to numb out some of 114 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 3: the depression and anxiety. And I, just like a normal teenager, 115 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: had a lot going on, but I was feeling deep 116 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 3: feelings and I didn't want to feel those feelings, so 117 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 3: I numbed out. Turned into drug addiction, alcoholism, cocaine addiction 118 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 3: by the time I was twenty five. The beautiful thing 119 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 3: about that spiritual foundation is that it was there for 120 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 3: me when I needed it most. And so when I 121 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 3: recognized that this path of looking outside of myself wasn't 122 00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 3: working anymore. I knew where to go and that's what 123 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: so I got sober eighteen years ago and then really 124 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 3: reag united my spiritual faith, my spiritual foundation. 125 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 2: But do you think do you think the reason that 126 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 2: you sort of were Trump was trying were trying to 127 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 2: numb so many things. Do you think it's because of 128 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 2: you know, just how sensitive you are, meaning as far 129 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 2: as your intuition goes, as far as how you're taking 130 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 2: on the energy of everyone else, or is it trauma 131 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 2: based or you know, because I'm not speaking from experience, 132 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: but I feel a lot, you know what I mean, 133 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 2: like very like my intuition and I just my empathy. 134 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 2: I feel so much that sometimes it becomes overwhelming. And 135 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 2: then that's what my anxiety has stemmed from, amongst other things. 136 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,680 Speaker 2: And it's easy to sort of smoke a bunch of 137 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: weed or drink a bunch of liquor or whatever, numb 138 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: numb it out. 139 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: You know. 140 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 3: The other is all of the above. I too felt 141 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 3: a lot. I also think, yes, having that kind of 142 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 3: veil not being so thick, right, the veil was pretty 143 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 3: lifted for me, and so I felt a lot of 144 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 3: not only people and energy of people, but also the 145 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 3: presence of energy beyond me, and so that was very 146 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 3: overwhelming for me. But I also didn't know why I 147 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 3: became a drug addict or an alcoholic until I turned 148 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 3: thirty six, and so I was sort of under this 149 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 3: belief that like, oh, I just went down the wrong path, 150 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 3: or I was really controlling and I was trying to 151 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 3: control my life, or whatever it was. But the addiction 152 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: continued to follow me even into a decade into my sobriety. 153 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 3: And it was when I was thirty six that I 154 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: actually had a dream and remembered sexual abuse from my childhood. 155 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 3: And that memory was horrific and terrifying, And if anyone 156 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,719 Speaker 3: has had a dissociated memory resurface, they know what I'm 157 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 3: talking about. You kind of go back into the trauma 158 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 3: in a pretty extreme way for a while. But it 159 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 3: was also this huge relief because it explained everything. It 160 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 3: explained why I was an addict. It explained why I 161 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: was pushing so hard, It explained why I was so extreme. 162 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 3: It explained why I had so much anxiety, so much fear. 163 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 3: I explained why I was afraid of being in my body, 164 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 3: and that began a whole other level of spiritual and 165 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 3: personal growth in therapeutic development. And so I really started 166 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 3: living at that point. 167 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 1: So as you were going through this process, were you 168 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: aware did your life sort of immediately start to shift 169 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: into like this being a calling for you to either 170 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: help others? Or was or or did your sort of 171 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: principles and your teaching principles come after you had done 172 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: a lot about healing or was it like sort of 173 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: happening simultaneously. 174 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 3: I think, oh, no, it was happening simultaneous. Like by 175 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 3: the time I remembered this, I was ten years sober, 176 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 3: I'd written about six books, I'd been on OPRAH, like 177 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 3: I had had, I'd built a career as a young 178 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 3: spiritual teacher, and maybe I'd had like eight books at 179 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 3: that point. You know, it was like this was well 180 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 3: on my way of being of service, giving and frankly 181 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 3: doing it in the world way that I could then. 182 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: And I think that I've always taught from where I 183 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 3: am teaching from this seat that I'm sitting in now. 184 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 3: So everything that came before that memory was exactly as 185 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,720 Speaker 3: it needed to be, and it was exactly what I 186 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: needed to teach. And then everything beyond it has continued 187 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 3: to develop and help me ground more in the work 188 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 3: that I do. 189 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: Take take our our listeners or we were called what 190 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: were we calling them our revelers? 191 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 2: There's ten of them. 192 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: I'm won take us through what lit'sen. 193 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 1: I want to get to the I want people to 194 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: know what it is that you do, Like I want 195 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: what are those key principles that you really you know, 196 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 1: if someone was coming to being, like how do I 197 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,800 Speaker 1: start my journey? Where where do I start? Where do 198 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: I begin? Like what is the Gaby way? Right? 199 00:10:57,840 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 2: And maybe we can fold this into it because I'm 200 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: interested in we already skipped through eight times bestsellers in 201 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 2: Oprah being your best Friend? Like how did we get there? 202 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: Like what was the moment you know where it's like, 203 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 2: oh shit, I'm going to write a book and all 204 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: of a sudden, oh whoa bang, here we are? 205 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 3: You know? 206 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: Well? 207 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 3: Like it actually brings me back to a question that 208 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 3: Kate had asked earlier, and I was going to answer it. 209 00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: You were like, well, when did you know that you 210 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: were meant to do this? And I always knew when 211 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 3: I was fourteen years old, when I was when I 212 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 3: was doing drugs, Like I remember being in my studio 213 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: apartment in New York City on Thirteenth Street, and like 214 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,320 Speaker 3: the garbage cans r outside my window and it was 215 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 3: just just chaos. Maybe it was like three o'clock in 216 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 3: the morning, and I had this stack of self help 217 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 3: books next to my bed. It was like Wayne Dyer 218 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 3: and Louise Hay and all of these beautiful spiritual books 219 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 3: and journals and journals and journals. And I was high 220 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 3: on whatever drugs I was taking, and I had a 221 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 3: bunch of strangers in my apartment and I pointed at 222 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 3: the books and I was like, I'm going to be 223 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 3: a motivational speaker and a self help book author and 224 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: whoever was I was like, yeah, nice fucking try. And 225 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 3: so but I knew. I knew it was a intuitive knowing, 226 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 3: it was a psychic knowing, it was a purpose knowing. 227 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 3: I have a mantra that I live by. It's this 228 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,560 Speaker 3: Joan of Arc quote, I am not afraid. I was 229 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 3: born to do this. And so it's almost like my 230 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 3: soul has known I've been in this body in this 231 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 3: lifetime with a strong knowing that this is what I'm 232 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 3: here to do, and a knowing that through my recovery 233 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: and my healing. I will teach, I will heal. That's 234 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 3: how I teach, That's how I do it. I go first, 235 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 3: I say, hey, I've lived through addiction. Okay, here's how 236 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 3: I got through that. I've been through workaholism, Here's how 237 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 3: I get through that. Survived depression and anxiety. Here's how 238 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 3: I've done that, and then trauma recovery. And so I 239 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 3: don't think anything's an accident. I think my whole life 240 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 3: as much as I do believe we have free will 241 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 3: in this lifetime and we can choose the path we 242 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 3: go down. I do believe that we also make that 243 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 3: choice before the soul comes in. I think we say 244 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 3: I'm gonna come in and do all this. 245 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: I feel like there's a predestined When we were talking, 246 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: we were actually talking about this over Thanksgiving, like is 247 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: their free will or are when it comes to sort 248 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: of the quantum physics of things, like are we truly predestinedly. 249 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 2: Drunk and smacked you in your face and you were like. 250 00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: All of our stop it. Oh that almost was the 251 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: end of it. I was almost as my brother. 252 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 3: But I feel like that was like its intoxicated free will. 253 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 3: It's a little different, but. 254 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 2: I'm here to help. 255 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 3: People, by the way, I really do. 256 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 1: I think. 257 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: I think I'm in the wrong work. 258 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: I think. I think I love that quote because I 259 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 1: think we all can lean into that quote more. 260 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 2: You know. 261 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: I think everybody if they're tuned in to like their 262 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: purpose that you, if you could really into that, then 263 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: you will be living what you're. 264 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: It must feel so gratifying to help so many people, 265 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,839 Speaker 2: you know what I mean, It's got to be an amazing, 266 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 2: amazing feeling, you know, real quick. But I went to 267 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 2: hoff this place called the Hoffmann Institute, which we're not 268 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 2: going to talk about, but it was incredible for me. 269 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 3: You should talk about it here whatever you're ready. 270 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: Too many times I talked about it on the podcast 271 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 2: A bunch. And I get these letters because when you're 272 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 2: in Hoffman at the end, you had to write these 273 00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 2: letters of how you heard about the place, and it's 274 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 2: a letter of gratitude. I have so many of them, 275 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: and I cry every time I read one because I'm like, 276 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 2: holy shit, I'm the catalyst for this person potentially changing 277 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 2: their life, and it feels so amazing and I can't 278 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: even imagine, like you've probably changed millions of lives, made 279 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 2: a lot of money all at the same time. 280 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 3: You know, I think that it's not about how many 281 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 3: people's lives we change. It's about changing our own life, 282 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 3: and as a result, our change ignites change in others period. 283 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 3: So by whether it be expressing it and talking about 284 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 3: Hoffmann and then inspiring other people to do it, or 285 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 3: as a motivational speaker, there's this saying that you go first. 286 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 3: So you tell your story and it literally lights everybody 287 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 3: up to say, yeah, me too, me too, me too, 288 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 3: me too. And I think that we've seen that in 289 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 3: many different movements. We've seen that in many different ways, 290 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 3: and so by living to tell, we all have the 291 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 3: power to express that truth and then express then help 292 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 3: other people recognize it in themselves. So in my case, 293 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 3: I don't really see when people come up to me 294 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 3: they're like, oh, you changed my life. I'm like, or 295 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 3: you saved my life, or you would I would say 296 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 3: absolutely not. I just told you a story. I told 297 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 3: you a story. I gave you some direction. I told 298 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 3: you what worked for me. You did the work, you 299 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 3: read the book, you did the exercises, you followed the path, 300 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 3: whatever it might have been. You took the course. And 301 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 3: so we just begin the conversation. 302 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: Let's get into the nuts and bolts of this a 303 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: little bit. So, yes, you know what, what are the 304 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: key principles for you? That's like the foundation, the starting point. 305 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: Like someone says, I need to shift my life. I 306 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 1: need to change, you know, I obviously everybody's circumstances are different, 307 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: but I need help. I need to where you know, 308 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 1: like my my life feels like it's missing purpose. What 309 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: where do you start with with? You know, the people 310 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: you work with, or when you're talking, when you're when 311 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 1: you're when you're doing your motivational speaking. 312 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 3: That actually is the first step them coming and saying 313 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 3: I need help. Whether they buy the ticket and come 314 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 3: to the talk, or they pick up the book, or 315 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 3: they listen to the podcast or whatever they do, that 316 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 3: is the first step because without that willingness and that 317 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 3: desire to change, nothing is possible. Oliver had to want 318 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 3: to go to Hoffmann. 319 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: Right. 320 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 3: Sometimes people are forced into recovery, but that often doesn't work. 321 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: Right. 322 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 3: What works is when you have the desire and the 323 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 3: will to change, And so that would be the first 324 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 3: step is really really claiming that and when you pick 325 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 3: up that book or when you show up in a 326 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 3: seminar go to Hoffmann. It's like signing a sacred contract 327 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,679 Speaker 3: with the universe. It's saying I'm a yes for healing, 328 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 3: and that opens an invisible door. And then if you 329 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 3: stay in that yes, that would sort of be the 330 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 3: next step is like stay in that yes. So maybe 331 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 3: it's just simply sending it intention every day, saying I'm 332 00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 3: ready for more healing, and I'm ready for a little 333 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 3: bit more healing, and I believe that genuine growth and 334 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 3: spiritual development and change the change that we want, whether 335 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 3: it's getting clean and sober, whether it's healing trus whether 336 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:05,639 Speaker 3: it's healing from a relationship, whatever those changes are that 337 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: we want to quit in your life. They can't happen 338 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 3: like that. They have to be lots of little right actions. 339 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 3: And when we take those small, subtle steps every day, 340 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 3: then we start to literally change our neural pathways because 341 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 3: we're repeating something new, opening our minds to a different thoughtform, 342 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 3: and we're giving ourselves grace and compassion as we heal. 343 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 3: Because if you just try to like dive in rip 344 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 3: off the band aid, it's too extreme. It's way too 345 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 3: extreme for the parts of you that are not ready 346 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 3: for that. 347 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: Yet yeah, it's like those small steps. I'm always like 348 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 1: everybody who has this, you know, I'm all for an 349 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: end game. I'm all for like you know, the three 350 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: year plan, the five year plan, the ten year plan. 351 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: Like I think it's good to have a sort of 352 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: like a long distance look, but you can't get to 353 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 1: any long distance if you're not taking those first few 354 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: steps and staying present in all of those steps, because 355 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: you're gonna pivot. There's gonna be detours, there's gonna be obstacles, 356 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: you know, and and so those little small things that 357 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: are the beginning steps, you don't even realize how powerful 358 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 1: they are. I remember, you know, usually for girls, it 359 00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: seems like those moments happen out of relationships, Like you 360 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: have a relationship, it's gone south. They you know, you're 361 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: you're you have a series of bad relationships and then 362 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: you're finally like, I need to find myself for women, 363 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: and then what you realize when you really take certain 364 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 1: certain a deeper look is that there's things about your 365 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: life and your patterns that you haven't even recognized totally. 366 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: And what I like about some of the work that 367 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: you've done is like really leaning into some of those patterns, 368 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: right you do you like you're saying the first step 369 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: is like realizing why you're there, but then like we're 370 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: going to go deeper into what your own personal spiritual 371 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: path is totally. 372 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 3: And I think also what you're saying is that whatever 373 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 3: your bottom might be, whether it's breaking up, whether in 374 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 3: a relationship or addiction or personal something. There's this beautiful 375 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 3: Ama quote that I love, and it's when an eggshell 376 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 3: cracks from the outside, it's broken, but when it cracks 377 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 3: from the inside, it's reborn. And so when we have 378 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 3: these moments of cracking open whatever. For me, I was 379 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 3: twenty five and I hit my knees and I was like, God, 380 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 3: I need a miracle and that opened the door for 381 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 3: my recovery or remembering a trauma, whatever it might be. 382 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 3: Those meltdown moments are the miracle moments. And so when 383 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 3: people are first starting out on this these types of journeys, 384 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 3: it's usually is when the shit hits the fan. It's like, 385 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 3: oh no, I don't I I broke up with that 386 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 3: and I can't go on and I want to die. 387 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 3: And it's those moments where we just literally can't breathe 388 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 3: that we're given that opening. When things are just sort 389 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 3: of functioning, we stay in that managing of our life, 390 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 3: and that is fine, but in my opinion, that's boring. 391 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 2: I think, you know, well, it's funny you say that, 392 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 2: because you know I'm prone to anxieties since my twenties. 393 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 2: It's been crazy, fucking gnarly. And then I get through 394 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 2: it on lexapro. Then I went on, My story is 395 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 2: long and boring, but you know, I understand that world. 396 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: And I'm a hard worker. When I'm not feeling good, 397 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 2: I am meditating every day, I am writing gratitudes, I am. 398 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: In the fucking bam. 399 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: And then the minute I start to feel better, I'm like, great, done, 400 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,879 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But part of my wish 401 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 2: is and it's not a wish it just needs to 402 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 2: be done, is that I actually stick with it. 403 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 3: Well, but that's what I's also answer to your wish. 404 00:21:59,040 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 3: Are you ready for us? 405 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? 406 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 3: If you dig it and if you're into it. 407 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 2: Well. 408 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 3: So one of the things is that everyone has that wish, right. 409 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 3: Everybody is sort of like, how do I say consistent? 410 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 3: How do I do one small thing to day? What 411 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 3: is that one small thing today? And so I've had 412 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 3: this built, this whole life around those one small things. 413 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 3: So I took all those little small things and it 414 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 3: put them actually started the Gabby Coaching app, and I'm 415 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 3: going to give it to you. And in the app, 416 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 3: it's like these little moments to just dip in and 417 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 3: tight right in and then go on with your day. 418 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 3: And then you type right in a little bit more 419 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 3: and you go on with your day. And I say 420 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 3: to my app users, it's really a coaching membership, right, 421 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 3: I say to them, Even if you just open the 422 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,919 Speaker 3: app and listen to me read you the affirmation in 423 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,680 Speaker 3: the morning, that's your small action. And so the consistency, 424 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 3: the consistency and sort of the repetition. I'm studying Spanish 425 00:22:51,880 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 3: with duo lingo, do. 426 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 2: You have I was doing Italian on. 427 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 3: Exactly, so you you know, sort of Spanish and and 428 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 3: so just like dual Lingo, I'm like, I'm really seeing 429 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 3: this app as sort of the self help dual lingo. Okay, 430 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 3: so like the less little less gamification. But you get 431 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 3: in and you just do a little bit every day 432 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 3: your studio DS see, so I don't ten minutes a day, 433 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 3: ten minutes a day, ten minutes a day, and that 434 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 3: is helping me in seven in four months, right, yeah, 435 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 3: so or to speak Spanish, Okay. Anyway, the point is 436 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 3: is that these little moments and these little things. So 437 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you the Gabby app. 438 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 2: I'll make a. 439 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 3: Meditation for you for anxiety. And the thing is there's 440 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 3: this whole section called the get Gabby section where you 441 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 3: can literally go in and it's like get Gabby and 442 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 3: in the section there's like feeling anxious is the first one, 443 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,280 Speaker 3: and it's a two minute practice for anxiety. I can 444 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,840 Speaker 3: teach it to today too, and then there's you know, 445 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 3: want to pick up a drink? Get Gabby. 446 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: Right. 447 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 3: This woman told me the other day that her daughter 448 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 3: was like sixteen, having anxiety. They've been using the app together, 449 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 3: and then her daughter was like screaming in the middle 450 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 3: that I think she was having a nightmare. And her 451 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 3: mother goes in and she was like half awake, half asleep, 452 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 3: and she was like, get Gabby. I was like, and 453 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 3: then I think that she did. I like, I literally 454 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,399 Speaker 3: she'd turn on a meditation. They're going back to sleep. 455 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 3: But the point, the point is is that I wanted 456 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 3: to democratize these tools and make them like the duo 457 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 3: lingo for self help, because why should someone just because 458 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 3: they have the resources and the you know, the and 459 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 3: the ability to go to Hoffman, right, or the privilege 460 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 3: of being able to go to a Hoffman or the 461 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 3: resources to have a therapist or a life coach or whatever, 462 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 3: or even get into a yoga class. I mean, so 463 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,119 Speaker 3: many people don't have that, and so to be able 464 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 3: to make this more accessible to people is my intention. 465 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 3: And those small right actions and staying consistent with them. 466 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, because you did your sort of like do you 467 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: still do your New Year's kind of You've. 468 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:14,600 Speaker 3: Been talking to Jen, haven't you? 469 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: Yeah? I did it with Jen one year. 470 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 3: You did it. I think I think that Jen Meyer 471 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:26,040 Speaker 3: is my pro bono publicist. I mean probably all of ms. Frankly, 472 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 3: she loves people and she is just the most one 473 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 3: of the most beautiful humans I've ever met. But yeah, 474 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 3: I know she loves My manifesting challenge that's coming up 475 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 3: that it's actually in the app, so I'll give it 476 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:37,439 Speaker 3: to you, give you that you can do it in 477 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:42,120 Speaker 3: the app now, but it's it's twenty one days, which 478 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 3: hopefully would give somebody that inspiration to keep going. 479 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the manifesting challenge challenge. This is 480 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:54,479 Speaker 1: fun sort of take Oliver and our listeners through, like 481 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: what what that is? So at the beginning of the year, 482 00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 1: you do the Manifesting Challenge and it's basically I mean, 483 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,399 Speaker 1: you explain it. I could explain it, but you explain it. 484 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 3: I love that you did it. 485 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:04,840 Speaker 1: Yeay. 486 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 3: January first is the first day of the year, and 487 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 3: it's a time when we're super primed and we're ready 488 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 3: and we're wanting to show up for ourselves. So I've 489 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 3: forever for about four or five years now, I've done 490 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,879 Speaker 3: a twenty one day Manifesting Challenge. And it's small, like 491 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 3: five six, seven, maybe sometimes ten minute audio lessons followed 492 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 3: by some journaling prompts. Sometimes there's little things where you'll like, 493 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 3: you know, write a letter to the universe and bury it, 494 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 3: and there's like little actionable things. But it's it's fun 495 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,719 Speaker 3: and it's actionable, but super deep. Like everything I do 496 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 3: is deep. It's it's it's just I'm a very good translator. 497 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 3: I'm really good at demystifying big things. So I am 498 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 3: a deep spiritual teacher who's really good at making complicated 499 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 3: things simple. And so that's what I'll do with these 500 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 3: these challenges, and it takes these concepts of really helping 501 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 3: you recondition your thinking and claim you're yes, what are 502 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 3: you a yes for? And open up to shifting your 503 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 3: energy and meditating on a vision and one day to time, 504 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 3: this cumulative effect of really owning what you desire, becoming 505 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 3: unapologetic about what you desire, bringing momentum to that desire, 506 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,199 Speaker 3: bringing spiritual connection into your life. And people have reported 507 00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 3: the most unbelievable results from the challenge, things like manifesting 508 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 3: babies and green cards and relationships and jobs, and even 509 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 3: some people reporting back like I lost my job and 510 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 3: that was the best manifestation ever because it put me 511 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 3: on the path of my purpose. And really the most 512 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 3: valuable results often are just the people that are like, 513 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 3: I feel spiritually connected. 514 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: Now. Now for those who are skeptical about manifestation, because 515 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 1: I get that a lot, because I feel like I 516 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 1: feel like I've manifested everything in my life, but just 517 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: based in my almost almost like my personality profile, but 518 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:12,360 Speaker 1: also because I'm very intentional in the things that I do. 519 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: So but when people are skeptical about manifestation, how do 520 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 1: you explain it to them? How do you define manifesting 521 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 1: to them. 522 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 3: Simply put, every thought that we have has energy behind it. 523 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 3: So if you're thinking a high vibrational thought, you're elevating 524 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 3: your energy. You're elevating the energy of the people around you. 525 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,400 Speaker 3: When you elevate the energy of the people around you, 526 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 3: you create more possibilities in your life. You attract more 527 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 3: people to you, you attract opportunities for employment, just you're 528 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,080 Speaker 3: fun to be around. The more fun you have, the 529 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 3: more joy you bring, the more you connect to what 530 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,080 Speaker 3: we all have, which is our super attractor power. And 531 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 3: that power is in all of us. We just either 532 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 3: block it or embrace it and magnify it. And so 533 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 3: we block it when we're addiction or in judgment or 534 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 3: in really just unhealthy states. And it's not that even 535 00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,560 Speaker 3: in the darkest moments, we can still be using manifesting principles. 536 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 3: Right So, at twenty five getting clean and sober, I 537 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 3: wanted to get clean. Was I manifesting a life beyond 538 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 3: my wildest dreams within the first ninety days of my recovery. No, 539 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 3: But what I was manifesting at that time was sobriety. Right. So, 540 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,479 Speaker 3: in any no matter what our circumstances are, and this 541 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,960 Speaker 3: may be really controversial, but even in the darkest moments, 542 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 3: you have examples like you have Gandhi or individuals who 543 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 3: have lived through extreme circumstances but have had extreme impact 544 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 3: because of the thought forms that they've chosen. Now, that's 545 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 3: not how I look for some of us who have 546 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 3: the privileges of being able to live these amazing lives 547 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,400 Speaker 3: and have all of it in front of us. We 548 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 3: owe it to those who don't to really elevate our thoughts, 549 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 3: to elevate our energy, to enjoy our our lives. And 550 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 3: again it happens, it's available to us even when we're 551 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 3: in those dark moments. So it's proactively and consciously healing 552 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 3: our belief systems because we manifest what we believe. And 553 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 3: so we as we heal, as we go to Hoffmann, 554 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 3: as we listen to this episode, as we read a 555 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 3: self help book, or do a manifesting challenge, or commit 556 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,200 Speaker 3: to twenty thirty days of yoga practice, whatever that may be, 557 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 3: we're committing to a new thought form. We're reprogramming the 558 00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 3: neural pathways in our brain. 559 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: We're changing, right, and now we know that those are science. 560 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: It's not science. 561 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,959 Speaker 2: Science science, right, Well, the manifesting part. Look, I go 562 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 2: both ways with this stuff. Like when I am in 563 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,480 Speaker 2: like a sort of that dark hole that you're talking about, 564 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: the negativity sort of shifts or it comes into more 565 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,080 Speaker 2: into my right into my face, right, and you think, oh, 566 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 2: everyone says, we'll just think positively, you know what I mean, 567 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:59,240 Speaker 2: manifest this manifest that I'm like, Okay, that's a. 568 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 3: Fuck you to who's having a biochemical. 569 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt. But when I 570 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 2: do start to come out, I understand that letting go 571 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 2: really sort of just allows you to feel more at 572 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 2: ease in the day, and you're looking at things and 573 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 2: being having gratitude towards things that you normally wouldn't have, 574 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,959 Speaker 2: which that in turn is being a positive person, and 575 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 2: your energy is better, it's bigger, it's out there right, 576 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 2: understand that I can feel that. But part of me, though, 577 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 2: is like with the manifest like, how come everyone's not rich? 578 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 2: How come everyone you know? How many humany you know? 579 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 2: But you know how many people think positively and try 580 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 2: to manifest and bring good things to them and really 581 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 2: and it just doesn't fucking happen. Right, So there's eight 582 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 2: billions of people in the world, there's a lot of 583 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 2: manifesting that's not happening. 584 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 3: There's two things. There's two questions. So first of all, 585 00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 3: I think that what you're saying about having when someone's 586 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 3: having a biochemical condition like getting disorder or depression, to 587 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 3: say to that person, meditate or think better thoughts, that's 588 00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 3: literally like the biggest fuck you to that person. And 589 00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 3: so for me, I didn't understand that until I lived it. 590 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,360 Speaker 3: I lived I had suicidal postpartum depression, which really just 591 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 3: magnified an anxiety disorder that I didn't even that had 592 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:25,160 Speaker 3: been managing for so many years. And so while I 593 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 3: was not able to really tune into my super attractor 594 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 3: power in the darkest moment of my life, what I 595 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 3: could do was consistently lean into I want to get 596 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,320 Speaker 3: more help. I want to get more help. And as 597 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 3: I started to consistently open my heart to more and 598 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 3: more help, I manifested help. And so even though you 599 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 3: may think, Okay, well I'm in this dark moment, but 600 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 3: I'm not manifesting, Well, what are you trying to manifest? 601 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 3: You can't be at your lowest load trying to manifest 602 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:55,520 Speaker 3: like complete and utter transformation. You can manifest help you're. 603 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,160 Speaker 1: Like, God, I'm really depressed, Like I want to manifest 604 00:32:58,680 --> 00:32:59,480 Speaker 1: Rolls Royce. 605 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 2: I did when I was I think when I was 606 00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,200 Speaker 2: doing Namo Hold and get Coo and I was Doingddhism 607 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,000 Speaker 2: and I was in that world for six months with 608 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,840 Speaker 2: my ex girl friend Vanessa. Eventually I was going all 609 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 2: these meetings. I'm like, I don't like this. Someone's like, 610 00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 2: do you want like a new roles just say, I'm 611 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 2: not joking. That happened all the time. 612 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 1: Maybe you're going the wrong meetings. 613 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:28,840 Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of like bs spirituality out there, 614 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 3: and so you can get people in the door. When 615 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:35,080 Speaker 3: you say manifesting, you say the law of attraction. You 616 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 3: tell people about the power that they have. But my 617 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,960 Speaker 3: intention isn't to teach people magic tricks. My attention is 618 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:42,200 Speaker 3: to teach people how to change the way that they feel. 619 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 3: The simplest thing is when you change how you feel, 620 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 3: that's how you change your life. 621 00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I mean I think sometimes the brain when 622 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 1: when you know, I think some teachers will say, when 623 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 1: you desire an outcome, if you focus on that outcome, oh, 624 00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: you know, keep focusing on that outcome. I want to 625 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: be let's just let's just say I want to be 626 00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:10,720 Speaker 1: a of I want to be a Nobel Piece Prize winner. 627 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,399 Speaker 1: I want to be a Nobel I want to win 628 00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 1: a Nobel prize. I want to win it. I want 629 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: to What happens is is that as you start doing 630 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 1: certain manifestation practices kind of veers you away from this 631 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: concept and and what it should be doing. If you're 632 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 1: with either the right teacher or you're doing the right 633 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:31,400 Speaker 1: you're inside of the practice in the right way, is 634 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,880 Speaker 1: that all of a sudden it leans you into the 635 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 1: things in your life that you that you do need 636 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 1: more of, like oh, like I want to be more 637 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,919 Speaker 1: open and curious, or like I want to read more. 638 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:47,120 Speaker 1: I want I oh, I'm actually far more interested in 639 00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:50,040 Speaker 1: reading this book than I am watching this program on television. 640 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: It starts to shift the focuses, and then that endgame 641 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 1: prize isn't what you're manifesting. You're actually manifesting a better 642 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,879 Speaker 1: way for you, a desire to live. I think that's 643 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 1: I think that's because this idea like oh, I'm going 644 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: to manifest like the great you know, like ultimate wealth, 645 00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 1: Like that's not what it's gonna You're not you. 646 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,000 Speaker 2: Know, I know people do try to do that. 647 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's That's sort of where the skepticism 648 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,440 Speaker 1: of this concept of manifestation. When you say, like, oh, 649 00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: I'm going to manifest, manifesting is this idea that you know, 650 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: when you think of something, when you put when you 651 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,480 Speaker 1: put the this is my own personal relationship to it, 652 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,920 Speaker 1: when you put it in a momentum to move forward, 653 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:39,080 Speaker 1: it's telling your brain, oh, this is the direction in 654 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,600 Speaker 1: which we're moving. And when you say I need help, 655 00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,839 Speaker 1: that's the direction in which your brain starts to move. 656 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 2: And I'm playing Devil's advocate, meaning I practice all of 657 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,680 Speaker 2: these things, you know, But at the same time, I'm 658 00:35:51,719 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 2: a realist and a spiritualist. If that's even a word. 659 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,879 Speaker 1: You manifested your boat, well, I just asked a lot. 660 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,440 Speaker 2: But my point, though, is just more of a realistic 661 00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,759 Speaker 2: look at it. When you have this many people in 662 00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 2: the world who are trying to manifest and who are 663 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 2: who are doing it, you know, but the best intentions 664 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 2: and it just isn't working, you know what I mean, 665 00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 2: They're not. 666 00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 3: I think that really the secretive manifesting is to forget 667 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 3: what you think you need and really focus on how 668 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:27,279 Speaker 3: you feel. Because when we are in a space that's 669 00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 3: free inside, and we feel unburdened from our past, and 670 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:36,080 Speaker 3: we've done the work, the inner work, to heal that 671 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,720 Speaker 3: wreckage from our past and to come out the other side. 672 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,800 Speaker 3: That's when we reclaim who we really are. We reclaim 673 00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:46,479 Speaker 3: that innocence that we were born with, because when we're born, 674 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:49,359 Speaker 3: we're really we're born into this world and then we 675 00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 3: pick up all of these different experiences that some of 676 00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 3: which are super extreme. Some are more extreme than others, 677 00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,760 Speaker 3: but they're still extreme nevertheless, and they become these feelings 678 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,719 Speaker 3: that we just try to manage and override for the 679 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 3: rest of our life. With anxiety or with addiction, or 680 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:11,760 Speaker 3: with relationships, what manage, manage, manage, and that just blocks 681 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 3: that natural innocence. So when we actually do start to 682 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 3: do the heavy lifting of really therapeutic support, self help 683 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:23,000 Speaker 3: support and being in that curious, as Kate said, beautifully 684 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:28,440 Speaker 3: curious connection inward, that's when we start to feel a 685 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,960 Speaker 3: shift inside. And that shift is what manifests, not some 686 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 3: vision board and that's some repeated thought, it's the inner 687 00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,360 Speaker 3: change inside of you. And so there's a lot that 688 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 3: I was able to manifest in my life because I 689 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 3: believed it, and because I was moving towards it and 690 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,719 Speaker 3: take taking actions towards it. But the greatest manifestations in 691 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,640 Speaker 3: my life have been the ones that have just come 692 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,319 Speaker 3: into my life naturally, in a free flowing state, just 693 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,120 Speaker 3: feeling and trusting. And there's this beautiful message. I keep 694 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 3: quoting all these beautiful messages, but there's one that is 695 00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,760 Speaker 3: from this text of course and miracles and the messages. 696 00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,680 Speaker 3: Those who are certain of the outcome can afford to 697 00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,680 Speaker 3: wait and wait without anxiety. 698 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 2: Mm hm. 699 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,840 Speaker 3: And so when we just start to have you to 700 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:22,000 Speaker 3: our inner world, when we say that, yeah, those who 701 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,880 Speaker 3: are certain of the outcome can afford to wait and 702 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:29,080 Speaker 3: wait without anxiety. Right, And that certainty. 703 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,120 Speaker 2: Only comes I'm not certain of the outcome. 704 00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 1: Well, there is one out This is where I go. 705 00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:39,680 Speaker 3: Yes, the outcome being when we do that work on ourselves, 706 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,319 Speaker 3: that we and we start to recognize freedom. Really, to 707 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 3: me means that we recognize that no thing, no amount 708 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:55,640 Speaker 3: of money, success, person, lover, will give us the freedom 709 00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,600 Speaker 3: inside that we desire. I know that, and I shall 710 00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 3: have free right. It's the devotional commitment to healing the 711 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 3: wounds in the blocks that hold you back from living 712 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,080 Speaker 3: in that freedom. And that's why I write self help 713 00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 3: books because I know that not everybody's going to have 714 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 3: you know, DEEPOK on speed dial like I might write, 715 00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,879 Speaker 3: or like be able to you know, have a mother 716 00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 3: like we had. That that's not the norm. The norm 717 00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:27,080 Speaker 3: is push it down, numb it out, don't feel it. 718 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,120 Speaker 1: I think it's also it's also really interesting when you 719 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,879 Speaker 1: when you do, when you're like, I'm a I love 720 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 1: to travel, I love to see the world. I love 721 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 1: to go to you know, I love to talk to 722 00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,319 Speaker 1: people all over the world. And what you realize is 723 00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: like it doesn't at the end of the day, when 724 00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: you get to the like core, the spiritual core of 725 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: every single human, it doesn't matter where. You can't gauge 726 00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:02,120 Speaker 1: someone's trauma or someone's pain, or someone's anxiety, or someone's 727 00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: like why they feel liberated or why are they so happy? 728 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 1: Why do they find such contentment? You can go all 729 00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 1: around the world and see people of completely different socioeconomic backgrounds, 730 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,480 Speaker 1: completely different cultures, and you can tell there are just 731 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you have or where you come from. 732 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 1: There are certain people who are who who are connected 733 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: to their spiritual core brings them a sense of contentment 734 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,799 Speaker 1: and liberation that someone who seemingly has it all can't 735 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 1: quite grasp. 736 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:36,759 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean how many people do you know? 737 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:38,960 Speaker 3: You guys know so many people who have it all 738 00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,719 Speaker 3: and they're fucking miserable. I imagine that you know them all, right, 739 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,680 Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a really yeah. 740 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,040 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, no, no, of course I think I 741 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: find it. I find so lucky just breathing and living right. 742 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,040 Speaker 1: But what I'm trying to say is I'm trying to 743 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: say like that is something I think everybody, no matter 744 00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: where you come from or what your experience are. Of 745 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: course that is if you know, taking you know, trauma, 746 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:09,040 Speaker 1: certain kinds of trauma out of the equation, but that 747 00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:12,680 Speaker 1: there is a very relatable thing across the board, which 748 00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 1: is people actually connecting to that place inside of them 749 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:19,720 Speaker 1: that makes them feel truly liberated. That can only truly 750 00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: exist in the simplest form of how we live spiritually. 751 00:41:23,880 --> 00:41:25,799 Speaker 3: I can really just speak for myself and that I 752 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,919 Speaker 3: can say that the spiritual foundation is the thing that's 753 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,879 Speaker 3: carried me throughout my life through a lot of ups 754 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 3: and downs and sometimes things that I wouldn't wish upon anyone. 755 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:41,680 Speaker 3: But it was when I committed to really becoming courageous 756 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 3: and brave enough to connect to the parts of myself 757 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:49,840 Speaker 3: that I had been pushing down for a lifetime for decades. 758 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:54,560 Speaker 3: When I made that commitment to courageously turn inward, that's 759 00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,799 Speaker 3: when that freedom started to come into my life. And 760 00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:04,760 Speaker 3: that was spiritual recovery, therapeutic recovery, addiction recovery, and literally 761 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:10,160 Speaker 3: what I'm most proud of in about myself is my 762 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 3: courage to change, my courage to heal. And I wrote this. 763 00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 3: My ninth book was a book called Happy Days, and 764 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,560 Speaker 3: it's the guided Path from trauma to profound freedom and 765 00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,640 Speaker 3: inner piece. And I've written a lot of manifesting books 766 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,319 Speaker 3: right like I've written A Universe has your Back, I'm 767 00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,799 Speaker 3: super Attractor, it may cause miracles, and all these books 768 00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 3: I'm manifesting, and people love those books. They want the universe, 769 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 3: they want the super attractor. But when I hold up 770 00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,680 Speaker 3: Happy Days, which is like a book that maybe didn't 771 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,360 Speaker 3: sell as well as o other manifesting books, but I 772 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,280 Speaker 3: can hold that book and I can say to somebody, 773 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 3: this is my greatest manifesting book that I have. Why 774 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,200 Speaker 3: because it teaches you how to do the inner work. 775 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 3: You could do all that manifesting spiritual and you will 776 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:58,680 Speaker 3: have change. But the lifetime change, the massive radical change, 777 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:01,000 Speaker 3: happens when you start to dress the parts of you 778 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:03,160 Speaker 3: that live in fear, the parts of you that are 779 00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,880 Speaker 3: so anxious, the parts of you that need your attention. 780 00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,640 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, and by the way, you know it's not 781 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 2: a one and done and I know that just even 782 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 2: from being an Hoffman like you can dig up and 783 00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 2: you can go through this process, which I did, and 784 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,480 Speaker 2: there's this euphoria that you feel for like two or 785 00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 2: three weeks. It's this honeymoon phase, and then all of 786 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,359 Speaker 2: a sudden, life creeps back in. You know, when it's 787 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 2: that deep, you're always going to be dealing with it. 788 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,520 Speaker 2: And that's what they tell you too when you go there. 789 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,040 Speaker 2: They're like, you're not cured, No one's cured. You're just 790 00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,440 Speaker 2: given the tools to deal with this shit as it 791 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 2: comes up. Now, you know you've done the work, you've 792 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,320 Speaker 2: done the digging, you've uncovered the treasure. 793 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 1: So to speak, and the discovered that the relationship to 794 00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:44,279 Speaker 1: the work can be interesting and enjoyable and rewarding. 795 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,960 Speaker 2: Sure, and extremely difficult and angering right because you're like, 796 00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,480 Speaker 2: oh my god, why am I like this again, what happened? Yeah, 797 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,560 Speaker 2: you know, because it's work, you have to keep working. 798 00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 1: Again, We're like, this is like the quoting episode, but 799 00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: like I all also, one of my favorite quotes is 800 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 1: contentment is a discipline. And I find that what you're saying, 801 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: even if it's one little thing, but like those disciplines 802 00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,560 Speaker 1: that you know that you connect with, that make you, 803 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 1: that connect you deeper to yourself, or make you just 804 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,839 Speaker 1: feel a little bit better, make you feel like you're 805 00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:18,959 Speaker 1: in that forward movement in motion. 806 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 2: Well, I have a quote that I'm going to make 807 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 2: that right now, which is another which is another way 808 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 2: to live by. In a hundred million years, we're all 809 00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 2: going to be a ball of fire. So who gives 810 00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:30,040 Speaker 2: a shit anyway? 811 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:30,799 Speaker 3: Yeah? 812 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean that's it's kind of it's 813 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:35,880 Speaker 2: like sometimes. 814 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:36,120 Speaker 3: I do that in my head. 815 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 2: I'm like, well, we all have these issues, we're all 816 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,799 Speaker 2: feeling these things, but in fifty million years, it's gonna 817 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,880 Speaker 2: be a big ball of fire. Civilization will no longer exist, 818 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 2: and all of these problems like why am I so crazy? 819 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:48,399 Speaker 3: Why are we all? 820 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:51,440 Speaker 1: Why are we all so nuts? Yeah? No, it's a 821 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 1: good that's a good. I mean, look we've been asking 822 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,800 Speaker 1: ourselves that from the beginning of Time books. 823 00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:56,799 Speaker 2: It's called ball of Fire. 824 00:44:58,520 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 1: You're qualifier. 825 00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,600 Speaker 3: We got to let you go. 826 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,720 Speaker 2: What do you think about the qualifier theory? 827 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,359 Speaker 3: I think you might want to consider writing a self 828 00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,600 Speaker 3: help book. And I'm totally serious right now, and I 829 00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 3: will totally help you if you wanted to do this, 830 00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,520 Speaker 3: write a self help book about the ballifier. Yeah, and 831 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:21,759 Speaker 3: let it be just about really what it should be. 832 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,319 Speaker 1: It should be only animated though. It should just be 833 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:25,120 Speaker 1: a picture book. 834 00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:31,080 Speaker 2: I like Bullifier. 835 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:32,440 Speaker 3: Bullifier is good. 836 00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,799 Speaker 2: It's a good title. I'm telling you I like it. 837 00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 1: Gabby for the last question, thank you so much for 838 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 1: joining us. I'm so happy. Can we talk to you 839 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:43,160 Speaker 1: more offline? 840 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 2: At some point, qualifier collapse is going to be huge. 841 00:45:48,600 --> 00:45:50,360 Speaker 3: But I just break the forward. I'll write the forward. 842 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:52,200 Speaker 2: Okay, perfect, perfect. 843 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 1: Okay, So well, let's just start with this. I like 844 00:45:56,440 --> 00:46:04,120 Speaker 1: this question, which is in the context of this rapidly 845 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 1: changing world, speaking of a world on fire, how do 846 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:14,200 Speaker 1: you see the role of spirituality and personal development in 847 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 1: contributing to the global consciousness? 848 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 3: Thank you for this question. I really appreciate it. I 849 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 3: think it's go time. I think that those of us 850 00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,879 Speaker 3: who have made a commitment to do in their work 851 00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:33,840 Speaker 3: in whatever form that comes, whether it's through books and 852 00:46:34,320 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 3: broadcast widely, or even individually in your home putting your 853 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 3: child to bed at night. Those of us who have 854 00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,120 Speaker 3: had the privilege of being cracked open in whatever form 855 00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,360 Speaker 3: that is, and opened up to a spiritual connection or 856 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:51,320 Speaker 3: personal growth connection, it is our duty to share it. 857 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:56,799 Speaker 3: It is spiritual activism. When we tell a story, when 858 00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,399 Speaker 3: we make that change, we ignite that light in somebody else. 859 00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 3: And so there's a lot of darkness that we need 860 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:10,560 Speaker 3: to transcend and transmute. And I don't believe that can 861 00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 3: happen with one spiritual teacher, one author, one person. I 862 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,440 Speaker 3: think it happens on the individual level. I think it 863 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 3: happens with anyone who's listened to this episode today and 864 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,080 Speaker 3: is like, I want to, you know, let that energy 865 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:23,839 Speaker 3: move through me. I'm going to take something I learned 866 00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,680 Speaker 3: here and share it with somebody today, or even share 867 00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,960 Speaker 3: the episode right or go to Hoffmann, whatever it might 868 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:34,879 Speaker 3: have been. That inner shift happening for anyone listening has 869 00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 3: to be shared, and that's how it happens. That's how 870 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 3: that shift occurs, because it has to happen on a big, 871 00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:44,560 Speaker 3: big global level. Mm hmm yeah, thank you Jaby. You 872 00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 3: guys are so cute. I love you. Nice to be 873 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:54,520 Speaker 3: with you.
