Speaker 1: I am a Yamla. I had a baby daddy relationship.
Speaker 1: I spent time in a relationship with a married man.
Speaker 1: I had to learn the skills and tools required to
Speaker 1: make my relationships healthy, fulfilling and loving. Welcome to the
Speaker 1: R Spot, a production of Shondaland Audio in partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the R Spot. I am a Yamla.
Speaker 1: Today we're talking about something I don't think many people
Speaker 1: talk about, and that is our relationship with the world
Speaker 1: and how it impacts our relationship with ourselves. Because if
Speaker 1: what you hear in the world is war and against
Speaker 1: us and hatred, and you've got opinions, and you've got preferences.
Speaker 1: You know, are you for abortion and not for abortion?
Speaker 1: Are you for this candidate or not that candidate? And
Speaker 1: in the mere fact that most people don't even feel
Speaker 1: safe to talk about what they're thinking and feeling about
Speaker 1: their elected officials, says that you know, there's something going
Speaker 1: on that we don't feel safe, that we don't want
Speaker 1: to be attacked, that we don't want, you know, whack
Speaker 1: of doodles knocking on our door or threatening us. You know,
Speaker 1: there is so much going on in the world. I
Speaker 1: don't care where you look. I don't care where you live,
Speaker 1: I don't care who you are. There is a lot
Speaker 1: going on, and a lot of it doesn't look good,
Speaker 1: a lot of it doesn't feel good. There is so
Speaker 1: much coming at us that unless you're just watching reruns
Speaker 1: of The Golden Girls, you're gonna get hit with some
Speaker 1: of this stuff. No matter where you go, whether you
Speaker 1: watch the news or read the newspapers, people are talking
Speaker 1: about all of the wahalla and the conflamerytion that is
Speaker 1: going on in the world today, between the violence and
Speaker 1: the wars and the I want to say againstness, the
Speaker 1: political discord, health issues, money issues. I mean, is the
Speaker 1: economy doing better or is it not? Can you even tell?
Speaker 1: Because I thought everything was fine and then I found
Speaker 1: out it wasn't. Because that's what's coming at me. So
Speaker 1: our relationship with the world really impacts our relationship with everything.
Speaker 1: Are you afraid to go out because you might get
Speaker 1: carjacked or mugged? Are you making a choice between buying
Speaker 1: a dozen of eggs or paying the light bill? Where
Speaker 1: are you? Where are you in the world? Where are
Speaker 1: you with people? And more importantly, where are you with yourself?
Speaker 1: As you hear or experience everything that's going on. For me,
Speaker 1: the first thing I look at is energy. So the
Speaker 1: energy of the world today, I mean the franticness, the chaos.
Speaker 1: We just had two major major disasters, if you will,
Speaker 1: in the world, from the bridge collapsing in Baltimore, and
Speaker 1: then we just had a major upset with the distribution
Speaker 1: of resources and GOSM people dying trying to get food,
Speaker 1: and oh my goodness, it's just a lot. It's a
Speaker 1: lot going on. If you're not careful, you not only
Speaker 1: will get wrinkled, you'll get gray hair. And I'm not
Speaker 1: fond of either one of them. But the question still becomes,
Speaker 1: how do you manage yourself? How do you handle yourself?
Speaker 1: How do you navigate your life with all of the
Speaker 1: things that are floating around in the universe, And I
Speaker 1: say all of the time. Although we think we're separate,
Speaker 1: what's going on over in Ukraine today, we're going to
Speaker 1: breathe that into our bodies in our lives tomorrow, because
Speaker 1: there only is one and everything is circulating. Everything is circulating.
Speaker 1: So I just wanted to talk today about how we
Speaker 1: navigate the energies, vibrations, frequencies, activities of the world in
Speaker 1: our relationship with ourselfs. I mean, are you living in fear?
Speaker 1: Are you an upset? Are you being more gentle with yourself,
Speaker 1: kinder with yourself? Are you spending more time doing for
Speaker 1: other people, trying to contribute to some good in the world,
Speaker 1: and thereby neglecting yourself. It's a mess, but it's not
Speaker 1: a mess that we are not equipped to handle. Your
Speaker 1: relationship with the world. What is it, how is it
Speaker 1: and how does it impact your relationship with yourself? That
Speaker 1: is what we are going to be talking about today.
Speaker 1: I've got some guests who are coming forward, and let's
Speaker 1: see if we can nibble on this thing, if we
Speaker 1: can break it down into bite sized pieces and come
Speaker 1: up with a little special sauce that we can pour
Speaker 1: on ourselves and on our lives to get through these
Speaker 1: chaotic times. Here's my first guest. Greetings, be loved, and
Speaker 1: welcome to the R Spot. We are talking today about
Speaker 1: your relationship with the world and how it impacts your
Speaker 1: relationship with yourself. So how are you doing with all
Speaker 1: of the conflomeration that's going on around us? Uh?
Speaker 2: Not creat not great. First, I want to just say this,
Speaker 2: I love you so much. And I have followed you
Speaker 2: for years and I appreciate you. Thank you for everything
Speaker 2: that you do for people like me and this world.
Speaker 1: Well, I appreciate you. I thought I saw you following
Speaker 1: me in my rear view mirror the other day. I
Speaker 1: was wondering, who is that? But you know what, I
Speaker 1: thank you for noticing, because there are so many people
Speaker 1: who don't. They're just flailing around out here and really
Speaker 1: not knowing where the lifelines are. I'm not the only one,
Speaker 1: there are many, but most people don't even notice. So
Speaker 1: tell me how you're doing in your relationship in the
Speaker 1: world and your relationship with yourself. How you doing well.
Speaker 2: I'm coping, but not great. I feel like I live
Speaker 2: in a state of fear of having a home invasion
Speaker 2: or I know it sounds crazy, I just of having
Speaker 2: a home invasion or somebody kidnapping me. I've never felt
Speaker 2: like that. This pretty much started. I'm not going to
Speaker 2: mention names, but back when a previous president got elected,
Speaker 2: and to me, the world seemed to have gone crazy
Speaker 2: after that. There was a lot of hate and I
Speaker 2: just can't get it out of my energy, and I
Speaker 2: don't want to attract a situation to me that the
Speaker 2: similar to how I'm feeling, so I try to get
Speaker 2: out of this state of mind. I had an alarm
Speaker 2: put in our home a couple of days ago. I
Speaker 2: have four dogs, we have cameras. We have cameras on
Speaker 2: our house. My boyfriend thinks I'm insane. He lives on
Speaker 2: the other end of the stick where he thinks that
Speaker 2: nothing is ever going to happen. You know that I'm
Speaker 2: being paranoid, but I just I seem to not be
Speaker 2: able to get it out of my head. We have
Speaker 2: a second home that I love to go visit and
Speaker 2: stay at. It's in the country, and I don't even
Speaker 2: go anymore because I'm afraid to be there by myself.
Speaker 2: I've never had anything happen there. But in my mind,
Speaker 2: I say, well, what if somebody just drives by and
Speaker 2: sees me working in the yard and notices my schedule,
Speaker 2: and oh this attractive. You know a woman is by
Speaker 2: herself there all the time. Maybe I'll go back and
Speaker 2: do a home invasion. And this is how crazy my
Speaker 2: mind goes, and it just seems like it's getting worse.
Speaker 2: And then the stuff happened with Ukraine, all that craziness,
Speaker 2: and then Israel and I try not to watch that stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm not a big news watcher. In fact, I know
Speaker 2: ever watch it, but you couldn't help see what was
Speaker 2: going on and what had happened, all those poor people
Speaker 2: on both sides, and people being murdered and killed and
Speaker 2: women being getting rapist. This stuff sticks in my mind
Speaker 2: and I can't seem to get it out. I feel
Speaker 2: like I'm becoming not a recluse, but I'm not living
Speaker 2: freely like I used to. And I just want to
Speaker 2: go back to feeling safe again. I just want to
Speaker 2: go back to feeling safe again, and I just don't
Speaker 2: know how.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there's a lot going on. Do you know
Speaker 1: what a m path is?
Speaker 2: Yes, I've been told I am an I'm passed.
Speaker 1: Okay, So that's what's happening to you. You are absolutely
Speaker 1: picking up the energy because and while as human beings,
Speaker 1: you know, we have a heart for other human beings,
Speaker 1: you know, when something tragic happens, will send me money
Speaker 1: or will go to help, We'll send clothes, will do
Speaker 1: what we can. And that's just the normal compassion that
Speaker 1: we have as human beings. But to feel it the
Speaker 1: way you feel it, and I think in your case,
Speaker 1: in most people's case, they have a thought that gives
Speaker 1: rise to a feeling. What I'm hearing in your sharing
Speaker 1: is that you have a feeling that then gives rise
Speaker 1: to a thought. Yeah, so you feel the energy and
Speaker 1: then you'll think of what it is or you'll put
Speaker 1: a meaning to it. And that's all moving from the
Speaker 1: intellect and from your perception of what's going on. I
Speaker 1: want to offer an opportunity for you to flip it,
Speaker 1: to see it from a broader perspective, so that you
Speaker 1: can reframe it. I think, out of everything that you share,
Speaker 1: the statement, really, I wrote it down and I'm circling it.
Speaker 1: Afraid to be by myself. You are never by yourself. Never. Yep,
Speaker 1: you're never alone. Do you know that?
Speaker 2: I know I should know that, Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1: You should know it. But do you know it? I mean,
Speaker 1: do you really really know it?
Speaker 2: No? No?
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, good. So let's approach it then from the
Speaker 1: intellectual perspective. If you had to take a wild guess,
Speaker 1: why do you think all of this stuff is going
Speaker 1: on in the world?
Speaker 2: I for me, I don't know. I just feel like
Speaker 2: there's no there's so much separation in the world from love,
Speaker 2: from what's important to us, from God, from the universe.
Speaker 2: I just feel like we've all gotten away from what
Speaker 2: really matters, and there's just so much hate.
Speaker 1: So there's a premise that I always teach my students
Speaker 1: and one that I work with all the time, and
Speaker 1: it's this, at all times, in all situations, under all circumstances,
Speaker 1: there is no one in the room but you and God, nobody.
Speaker 1: So when you look out at the world, it's you.
Speaker 1: It's you. It may be your mind, it may be
Speaker 1: your heart, it may be your thoughts, your beliefs. So
Speaker 1: how does all of this upset, confusion, hatred against nus?
Speaker 1: Where is that in you?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Maybe I think it's also part to do has to
Speaker 2: do with the relationship I've been in for years too,
Speaker 2: feeling unsafe, not not physical, no physical violence, but I
Speaker 2: feel like because I've been unhappy there for many years,
Speaker 2: that it's projecting into that as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about that? How about that? And how about
Speaker 1: the things that you see in the world. You talked
Speaker 1: about separation, you talked about against this, you talked about hatred.
Speaker 1: What about the fact that you are against what you're seeing? Yes,
Speaker 1: you are not liking, maybe not hating what you're seeing.
Speaker 1: What about you think that you're separate from what you're seeing.
Speaker 1: So the very thing that you're projecting out onto the world,
Speaker 1: you're doing yourself.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1: You know you have little Ukrainian thoughts in your brain
Speaker 1: that are fighting for freedom. I just said it. I
Speaker 1: feel unsafe and the unhappy in my relationship. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: your Ukraine in Russia.
Speaker 2: Mm hm.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure when you look out or you
Speaker 1: hear things, people did this, they did that. You know. Yes,
Speaker 1: the children are hungry, the women are being raped, the
Speaker 1: you know this, this party is not taking into consideration
Speaker 1: the welfare of others. Well, you're doing the same thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there is no separation. So one of the ways that
Speaker 1: you can begin to dissipate the energy because you said
Speaker 1: it sticks in my mind and I feel it. I
Speaker 1: want you to consider I feel this energy and then
Speaker 1: it gets stuck in my mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, so what I would encourage you to do is
Speaker 1: push past those boundaries. And when you feel something, instead
Speaker 1: of judging it or giving it a name or calling
Speaker 1: it anything, you bless it. You just say, well, I
Speaker 1: bless the situation. You know, I don't know anybody in Ukraine,
Speaker 1: not one living soul. I'm a little black lady from Brooklyn.
Speaker 1: I don't know nobody in Ukraine or Russia, you know.
Speaker 1: But I bless them every morning. I bless them every
Speaker 1: morning because I have the power, just like you, to
Speaker 1: change the conditions of my life. So when I wake
Speaker 1: up in the morning, I bless Ukraine. I bless the
Speaker 1: women first, and I bless the children. Then I bless
Speaker 1: the grandmothers. I bless the people in Israel. Yes, I
Speaker 1: bless the people in Gaza. Yes, even bless the form
Speaker 1: of president because for me, he's very, very purposeful. To me,
Speaker 1: he's showing us who we are at the lowest common denominator.
Speaker 1: And I look at that and I say, Okay, have
Speaker 1: I done that? Where am I doing that? How do
Speaker 1: I do that? And if I'm not, I just say
Speaker 1: thank you God that I've healed myself. And if I am,
Speaker 1: I get busy adjusting it.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: If I'm bullying whatever I see and I think it's
Speaker 1: about them, I say, okay, where is that in me?
Speaker 1: I surrender it and call it something else. We're going
Speaker 1: through a massive, massive cleaning. The universe is cleaning itself,
Speaker 1: and Mother Earth is rebelling, you know, She's like, I'm
Speaker 1: tired of you people peeling all my trees and tearing
Speaker 1: up out. Okay, but as an impath, you may need
Speaker 1: need to go a little deeper. We'll talk about that
Speaker 1: when we come back. Welcome back to the r spot.
Speaker 1: Let's pick up where we left off. So there's a
Speaker 1: couple of things. I don't know how deep you want
Speaker 1: to go. You want the red pill or you want
Speaker 1: the blue pill. The red pill.
Speaker 2: So deep?
Speaker 1: Well, first of all, you got to clean up that
Speaker 1: stuff in your relationship, yes, ma'am. If you're feeling emotionally unsafe,
Speaker 1: because you said it's not physical, so it must be emotionally.
Speaker 1: So if you're having, for example, this is just an example,
Speaker 1: you're having all of this reaction to everything that's going on,
Speaker 1: and you're being told you're paranoid, then you may not
Speaker 1: feel safe to express what you truly feel. Right. Does
Speaker 1: that sound accurate?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1: So you've got to clean that up first of all. Okay,
Speaker 1: you got to clean that up.
Speaker 2: I could do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah. If you're in a relationship, why are you afraid
Speaker 1: to be by yourself? Right? And if you understand that
Speaker 1: we are all children of the most time, you have
Speaker 1: to know you're never ever alone. Many many years ago
Speaker 1: I read a book called Hiring the Heavens, and it
Speaker 1: talks about how we can call on higher forces, higher
Speaker 1: energies called angels to do whatever we need done. I
Speaker 1: want to encourage you to hire a couple of angels
Speaker 1: to protect you.
Speaker 2: Okay, I can do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's as simple as calling them in. Call them in,
Speaker 1: you know. And the greatest protector is Mickayel or arch
Speaker 1: angel Michael. But then you have Gabrielle, you have zach Kiel,
Speaker 1: you have Metatron. You have so many universal forces that
Speaker 1: you can call on. So even when you feel I
Speaker 1: can't go out in the yard too because somebody might
Speaker 1: see me. How about Michael, Archangel Michael, let's go out
Speaker 1: in the yard. And that way you're pushing past the
Speaker 1: mental construct. Okay, but you also get to call in
Speaker 1: light energy and protection, you know. And it all depends
Speaker 1: on your belief system, your faith system. Yes, but I.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I got away from it. Unfortunately.
Speaker 1: Well that's because you don't feel safe m hm, and
Speaker 1: and that you have to address. So in your case,
Speaker 1: we were looking at how does the world impact your
Speaker 1: relationship with yourself and your life. But it sounds like
Speaker 1: you're relationship with yourself and your life is impacting how
Speaker 1: you interface with the world. Yes, yes, unhappiness. You get
Speaker 1: to change it, Yes, you do. You have what you
Speaker 1: need to change the condition of your life. It may
Speaker 1: be how you look at it and maybe how you
Speaker 1: speak to it or don't speak to it, but you
Speaker 1: have the power to change whatever it is.
Speaker 2: I gotta get my lady balls.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, get your lady balls, dust them off.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, and put it.
Speaker 1: To use, because I really do think that you're empathic.
Speaker 1: It's the way that you are describing what's happening. Yes,
Speaker 1: it sounds like you are an EmPATH. There's a wonderful
Speaker 1: book by doctor Judith Alloff O r LFF okay about
Speaker 1: how to manage energy around you when you are an EmPATH.
Speaker 1: She's gonna tell you what oils to use. She's gonna
Speaker 1: tell you how to clear yourself with crystals. She's gonna
Speaker 1: tell you how to drop a protective shield around you.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: And the simplest thing, like I said, is call on
Speaker 1: the universal forces. Hire some angels to be with you.
Speaker 1: Every time you have the thought, every time you have
Speaker 1: the feeling, Okay, every single time, until it sticks and
Speaker 1: you feel it, and consider that as long as you're
Speaker 1: feeling unsafe, unprotected, unacknowledged, unhappy in your personal relationship, you're
Speaker 1: gonna project that out into the world because there's nobody
Speaker 1: in the room but you and God. So it's all you,
Speaker 1: it's all me. I'm just talking to another aspect of
Speaker 1: myself right now, because there's an aspect of me that
Speaker 1: looks out into the world and her hair is on fire.
Speaker 1: She's running around with her draws down, screaming and hollering,
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the foodstock the full stop coming. They're
Speaker 1: gonna eat me, They're gonna kill me. But then there's
Speaker 1: then there's me, there's me iyamla. And I have dominion.
Speaker 1: I have dominion over my mind. So what do I
Speaker 1: have to do? Do I need to close my eyes
Speaker 1: and visualize white light?
Speaker 3: Mm hmm?
Speaker 1: Do I need to get a piece of roast quartz
Speaker 1: and and cover hold it until and give it all
Speaker 1: my negative energy? Do I need to call on the angels?
Speaker 1: Do I need to call on my grandmother? Because my
Speaker 1: grandmother was a formidable woman, she's not gonna let nobody
Speaker 1: bother me. What do I need to do in this
Speaker 1: moment when it gets you know, overwhelm me. Okay, But
Speaker 1: then again, if you if you reframe what's going on.
Speaker 1: So I look out every day and I'm like, wow,
Speaker 1: we are really cleaning. Change is coming and it's coming quick.
Speaker 1: Let me be ready. Let me have some water, Let
Speaker 1: me have some beans, some rice, Let me keep my
Speaker 1: landline and don't depend on the cell phone. Let me
Speaker 1: be ready. I mean, gots get some candles and some
Speaker 1: oh flashlights, because I don't know how the change is coming.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna be ready and I'm gonna have toilet
Speaker 1: paper and paper towels when it gets here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Okay, I can do those things.
Speaker 1: I can, and more than doing my love, I want
Speaker 1: you to be I want you to be at peace,
Speaker 1: knowing you are safe, knowing that you're gonna have what
Speaker 1: you need when you need it. You're gonna be where
Speaker 1: you need to be when you need to be there
Speaker 1: to know those things and be those things, and everything
Speaker 1: that comes up in the world just bless it. I
Speaker 1: don't know why this war is going on in Ukraine,
Speaker 1: and I know that I'm breathing today the air of
Speaker 1: fear and disaster and distress and anxiety that they breathed yesterday.
Speaker 1: It's over here today. So I'm gonna bless it. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna bless myself. I don't know. I'm not taking sides
Speaker 1: in Israel, Gaza, Palestine, but I'm gonna bless the babies.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bless the children. Yes last week, I went
Speaker 1: out in my yard. It was freezing and I filled
Speaker 1: up all my bird feeders. I have bird feeders all
Speaker 1: over my yard, and as I was filling them up,
Speaker 1: I said, this is for the children in Israel, this
Speaker 1: is for the children in Gaza, this is for them.
Speaker 1: And I filled those feeders and I could visualize in
Speaker 1: my mind the children getting food, children not being afraid,
Speaker 1: and I'm here feeding the birds. But it's about the
Speaker 1: thought and the intention. I can't go to gods, I
Speaker 1: can't go to Israel and feed the babies, but I
Speaker 1: can feed the birds here with the intention that those
Speaker 1: babies will get what they need. That's how you reframe it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh that really got me right in the heart. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: thank you so much. Young You're wonderful, welcome, have a blessing,
Speaker 2: thank you, love you back.
Speaker 1: Each of us is going to receive and experience whatever's
Speaker 1: going on in our environment in a very personal and
Speaker 1: profound way. And there are those people who are quite
Speaker 1: sensitive to energy. They can feel it, they can sense it,
Speaker 1: and whether it's the energy in the world or the
Speaker 1: energy of the people in your office or just your children,
Speaker 1: these people are empathic. They are clear, satient, they feel
Speaker 1: so in the time like this that we're going through,
Speaker 1: I can imagine that there are many of you out
Speaker 1: there who are just your hair's on fire because you
Speaker 1: feel everything, and those feelings then become thoughts that you
Speaker 1: personalize and make it about you, because when you don't
Speaker 1: understand how to deal with the energy, the empathic energy
Speaker 1: that you experience, you'll take it on and make it
Speaker 1: your own. Okay, So for all of you. Really, I'm
Speaker 1: not an EmPATH. I'm not, but I do. My grandson is.
Speaker 1: So I've learned a lot, and I've talked to doctor
Speaker 1: Judith or Love about how to support him. And he's
Speaker 1: only six, and he will tell you, I know what
Speaker 1: people are feeling in their heart because that's what empaths do.
Speaker 1: So if you are feeling everything, in the world and
Speaker 1: taking it on as your own worrying. Like my college
Speaker 1: said about home invasions the way Ukraine was invaded, or
Speaker 1: about being violated in some way. While you're in the
Speaker 1: garden or the supermarket or the gas station, you might
Speaker 1: be empathic, so you might be picking up the energy
Speaker 1: because there's a lot going on. Take care of yourself.
Speaker 1: Simply call in a universal healing angelic energy. Bless everything,
Speaker 1: Bless everything. I don't know what this means. I don't
Speaker 1: know what it's for, but I know there's a higher
Speaker 1: purpose that I cannot see. So I bless it. I
Speaker 1: bless my opponents. I bless my adversaries. I bless those
Speaker 1: who I would consider enemies. And I ask to have
Speaker 1: that energy transmuted, elevated, so that it's a blessing for
Speaker 1: us all our relationship with the world and how it
Speaker 1: impacts our relationship with ourselves. If nothing else, what's going
Speaker 1: on in the world is going to teach you something
Speaker 1: about who you are, what you believe, and how you
Speaker 1: do what you do. Let's see what my next caller
Speaker 1: has to say. Welcome, beloved, Welcome to the our spot.
Speaker 1: We are talking today about our relationship in the world,
Speaker 1: with the world, with all that's going on in the world,
Speaker 1: and how it impacts our relationship with ourselves. How's your
Speaker 1: relationship today? Wow?
Speaker 3: Yes, hi, ma'am. First of all, I would like to
Speaker 3: say good afternoon, and my relationship really is frustrating with
Speaker 3: the world to say the least concerning, but also frustrating
Speaker 3: within myself really to see what can I do to
Speaker 3: be of service to the world and how it is today?
Speaker 3: That's mainly it.
Speaker 1: So what can you do?
Speaker 3: What I can do every day, which what I try
Speaker 3: to instill in myself and my children is be a
Speaker 3: service anywhere I can, because I feel like that's just
Speaker 3: missing in our society, being of service for others. We
Speaker 3: have become so self entitled, from the top person on
Speaker 3: down to the gender. It doesn't matter, because together we
Speaker 3: make a hole. So that's why I look, like I say,
Speaker 3: out into the world with frustration, But I mainly really
Speaker 3: look at what every day, in the slightest way, without
Speaker 3: a title, without recognition, what can I do every single
Speaker 3: day as I step outside, as I interact with people,
Speaker 3: to make a difference, Because that's where it boils down to,
Speaker 3: regardless of all social media, regardless of what can be seen.
Speaker 3: We're missing doing the basic work every day amongst each other,
Speaker 3: and it's over it's overviewing, it's spilling over Delusion has
Speaker 3: mastered people's mindset this point. So that is utterly frustrating
Speaker 3: because it's like when you try to speak, even in
Speaker 3: your everyday life or try to show action, is still
Speaker 3: overlooked and what can you do because you can only
Speaker 3: control what you can control. So it's like knowing that
Speaker 3: living in this world can be utterly frustrating because we
Speaker 3: have people we don't know of in a lot of controls.
Speaker 3: And it's right, it's just it's your technic. So just
Speaker 3: looking where we can start every day, I just look
Speaker 3: at the basics. We've forgotten the basics being kind, respecting
Speaker 3: each other, and that concerns with we'll talk about that
Speaker 3: right after the break.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the R spot. Let's get back to
Speaker 1: the conversation. I think you've got it though you said it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: to do what you can without title, without recognition, be kind,
Speaker 1: be compassionate, you know again, because I think because of
Speaker 1: social media, everybody wants to be noticed and acknowledged for
Speaker 1: you know, what they do, and they want friends and likes.
Speaker 1: But look at Mother Teresa. Look at Mother Teresa. You know,
Speaker 1: I won't even say Jesus, that's too high for so
Speaker 1: many people. But Mother Teresa, who really gave her life over,
Speaker 1: who walked among the lepers and the ill and the
Speaker 1: poor and just gave them love, gave them love. One
Speaker 1: thing that we can do that doesn't cost us anything.
Speaker 1: I bless everything, exactly, I bless everything. I was really
Speaker 1: praying one day for light to come on in our
Speaker 1: leader's mind and the political leaders and the House and
Speaker 1: the Senate. And that day two people retired or they quit.
Speaker 1: I said, oh wow, maybe I need to change that brainer.
Speaker 1: I would rather have them stay and bring the light
Speaker 1: or than take the light and go.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I don't know if my prayer had anything to do
Speaker 1: with it, but I'm just saying, that's what we can do.
Speaker 1: One of the things I do all the time I
Speaker 1: feed the birds. I feed the birds because birds carry
Speaker 1: the message everywhere. The other thing I do is I
Speaker 1: have a charity that I give to I have several,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's not a lot of money. If
Speaker 1: I can do twenty five fifty dollars a month to
Speaker 1: the school on the Lakota Reservation in South Dakota. I
Speaker 1: give to Saint Jude's Hospital. I can give where I can.
Speaker 1: That's what we can do. Give where you can. What
Speaker 1: I would say is when you feel frustrated or when
Speaker 1: you feel concerned, turn it over. Say you know, Holy Spirit,
Speaker 1: I don't understand this. I wish it was different. It's
Speaker 1: not tell me what can I do, and it may
Speaker 1: not be that you can do anything for that. I've
Speaker 1: been asking looking for the past two weeks. Who is
Speaker 1: collecting food and money for Haiti. I can't find it.
Speaker 1: I know the Red Cross does, but I'm not sure
Speaker 1: it gets there directly. So I'm looking for grassroots organizations.
Speaker 1: Who is taking care of the babies in Haiti. That's
Speaker 1: what I want to do. I got clothes, I got clothes.
Speaker 1: I got a few dollars I can send, but mostly clothes.
Speaker 1: You know, I got seven grandkids that are outgrowing everything.
Speaker 1: I want to send that to Haiti and I'm going
Speaker 1: to get it there. That's what I can do. So
Speaker 1: one of the ways that we can improve our relationship
Speaker 1: with ourselves in response to what's going on in the
Speaker 1: world is find what you can do and do it
Speaker 1: without a title or without the need for reward or recognition.
Speaker 3: You are on it, yes, ma'am, Thank you so much, thank.
Speaker 1: You, thank you. How many babies you got?
Speaker 3: I have three, ma'am, a three year old, a two
Speaker 3: year old and a nine month old.
Speaker 1: Whoa, you are on it.
Speaker 3: Yes, I'm on it. I'm on top of it all. Yes, ma'am.
Speaker 1: So oh my god, we'll bless the babies. You take
Speaker 1: good care of yourself and take good care of them. Okay,
Speaker 1: you as well, ma'am. Have a great one, all right, okay,
Speaker 1: bye bye. I love it. A mama with three babies
Speaker 1: and still giving and doing in the world. That's she
Speaker 1: got a three year old or two year old and
Speaker 1: a nine month old. But you know, that's how you
Speaker 1: have them, so that when they're gone, they're all gone.
Speaker 1: You don't want one lingering back, dragging you back into
Speaker 1: diapers and bottles. Oh my gosh. Do what you can
Speaker 1: without the need for reward or recognition. If you can
Speaker 1: give to a charitable cause, if you can work the
Speaker 1: food line, do that so you have that good feeling
Speaker 1: and know that your contribution you're giving from the heart
Speaker 1: with love, no matter how little or how much you
Speaker 1: think it is it is helpful. You donating to the
Speaker 1: local food pantry in your community may not end the
Speaker 1: war in Gaza, but you are feeding people and it
Speaker 1: all matters in our relationship with the world. Just as
Speaker 1: my last caller said, do what you can where you can,
Speaker 1: with what you have, and know that it will have
Speaker 1: an impact. I hope that you know something now that
Speaker 1: you didn't know. When you're tuned in, and until we
Speaker 1: meet again, stay in peace and not pieces. I'll see
Speaker 1: you next time. Bye.
Speaker 2: A favorite.
