From the Grave Podcast

Depression, the characters that gain power over your life, the Source within, sleep - lie - set alarm, facing your reflection, going inward, we are meant to express life to the fullest degree, getting to know oneself in order to express oneself, saturating the shirt, meditation, dealing with self-doubt, loving on the version of you that you don't like.

Not bowing down to the power of resistance. Losing money at the Casino. Honoring the process rather than the outcome. Anything outside of action is  outcome related. Outcome related mindset will steal from the process of creation. God is a verb. Money is a natural consequence of delivering value. My job is to create and let the outcome speak as it may. Set your life up where you have the time to be all you can be - like the army. Bootcamp is necessary in the process of becoming a Soldier. There are things you must endure that they may carve you into the person you long to be.

"Move and groove according to the charm of God"

- Scott [38:57]

Surround yourself with a team that is tapped in. We want to be walking morse code! Listen, all I wanted to day was say "hi" and now I'm crying in my coffee. The woes of dial up internet and limewire. We walk into The Power of Myth and The Hero with a Thousand Faces". Often we can resist the creative process when it feels like obligation. When we shift that perspective and see that leaning into the creative process is for us not the one that experiences the creation. While I do it for me, it impacts both of us.


- [5:20] All I wanted was a "hey how are you doing".. now I'm crying talking about my trauma.

- [9:40] Dial up internet, LimeWire, human motivation and waiting for nude pictures to download on Dial up.

- [13:38] 21 Grams

- [15:35] The Power of Myth, The Hero with a Thousand Faces and their impact for the meaning of life.

- [24:00] The collateral beauty of FTG. Starting FTG and following it's lead. Vision, intent and meaning. The idea wont leave. Just be real.

- [32:00] The response. I want to feel like a cloud.

- [36:00] The first podcast. We support meaning and purpose. Open the door to FTG's message. Podcast takes front stage. Just follow and say "yes".

- [40:00] FTG is hard to explain. Simply follow charm.

- [44:00] Why do we think, speak and act the way we do? Engage in the dance. "That's not spiritual".

- [50:00] Challenging snap-judgements. Wherever your fear is, there you must walk. Fear takes pockets of energy. Pull out a chair for fear. Offer it a cup of tea.

"... Take it how you want, I am a proud son of a bitch. I am so fucking proud to be who I am today. And I never, ever, thought I'd be able to say that..."

- Scott [19:36]

After all, it's just a game. That's what we say, right? We can look at life like a play. The ole DRAMA of life. Are we able to have fun playing our roles? Or are we trying to be Shakespeare? Perspective can be a companion for our walk through life; if we hold the right one. We often attribute God to moments of joy and harmony. However, when we look backwards we see that He is expressed to the degree in pain. Feelings are the thing we have the most of and try the most to avoid. God is in the painful feelings just the same. Are we willing to dive into anger the same way we are keen on basking in joy?

In this week's From the Grave Podcast, Scott discusses the perspective of life as a game to play, a Romeo or Juliet to play for the great Shakespeare. Scott dives into the elements that can cause him to take the play too seriously and destroy joy. In this drama of life there are a lot of actors and actresses, a lot of props and rewriting the script. All of this can stir up feelings that are painful. The response to run from pain thus causes more pain. Scott discusses the importance of being "willing to be hurt" and "sitting in your body with your feelings". He sites personal experience with anger and how this bent him towards his inner child. These considerations, when they become a part of your life; it will lead to the deep conviction that we are damn proud the be the person we are.

- [4:20] After all it's just a game. Scott explains the joyful perspective of seeing life as a play
- [7:42] Letting go. Wont it be interesting to see how this will turn out?
- [9:00] Joy and pain. God is evoked in both. shoves from the Universe is pure love. The props get taken away, the scenes change and your lines change! Pain and confusion are part of the deal.
- [12:50] What am I holding onto? Without pain, letting go is just a theory. You want Gold? Then it's going in the furnace. When we let go of resistance we can dance.
- [16:50] Responding to anger. Anger can be ignited by the play. But, the chaos is within. Our response to anger is the window into us.
- [19:00] Taking the hurt and loving on your inner child. Proud. That is the man I want to be. Proud. Pain can be the launching pad into a new life. Conviction in God.
- [22:30] In the worst moment I knew that I was okay. Sit in the body and not resist your feelings. Make the decision, "I am willing to be hurt".
- [29:50] Pain and joy exist in the same place in the heart.
- [33:34] Monsters aren't real.
- [37:50] Wherever our greatest pain is, that is where our greatest growth will be.
