Currently, he resides in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and enjoys the outdoors, photography, and music to a doctor. Good Doctor. Thanks for joining us today. Um, I like to start these off with the whole idea that source speaks through us, right? We're kind of like these conduits for divine energy creation. And right now, in this very moment, something's common through you that needs to be shared with somebody who's listening to the podcast, what is that message?

Thomas Capshew 1:33 The message is that this is the year where we are going to have more healing happening in the world on this planet than we have trauma happening. There's there's, we're going to reach a tipping point where the collective trauma and wounds that we've all experienced, will be outweighed by the amount of people working to heal those wounds. And from there on out, we're gonna see a huge shift in the amount of light and life and love that flows into the world.

Brandon Handley 2:22 Where do you feel like you see that

Thomas Capshew 2:26 it's happening all over the place, you know, if you just listen to the media, you're not gonna see it, all you're gonna see is negativity, because that's what attracts people. It's like watching an accident, you know, you can't take your eyes off of it. But if you look at what's happening in our communities, what's happening with each other, it's creating all kinds of Win Win situations from people developing organizations that transform homelessness, to poverty, to all of the all of the major questions and issues that we've had as collective humans. Those are all coming into new positive solutions. There's a website that I follow, called heart math that does a global coherence project where they've got these measuring sites around the world that show when the human collective gets gets into coherence with each other, and it's happening more and more frequently. So there's lots of lots of evidence. I'm a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia, and have a private practice here, as well as a practice online. And in the last couple of months, I've never had the volume of people coming in saying, you know, I'm 55 years old, and I've been carrying this around since I was eight years old. I want to get rid of this. From that happened to me this this event that happened to me at eight years old. I'm no longer interested in having it limit me. I've had such a volume of people coming in, in the last few months that are shedding their wounds of the past.

Brandon Handley 4:46 That's great. Do you think that they have what do you think the reasons? Is there something pointing to that like what the reason is for them now? Why now really sad trauma right?

Thomas Capshew 5:00 Well, I think collectively in in my book consciousness rising, I assert that we we are all part of the consciousness that created the universe. And from a vibrational standpoint, as, as time moves forward consciousness, the vibration of consciousness rises. And so it's easier for people to see their limitations and to recognize that they can shed those limitations. So collectively as a species, our our entire collective is raising its consciousness. So it's, it's getting lighter and lighter and easier and easier to shed those darker energies that we took on when we got wounded.

Brandon Handley 5:57 Gotcha. So, you know, it sounds to me, like, you know, just consciousness as a whole is, is evolving, right? And that's what what we're what we're experiencing when we see people who are coming in and releasing the trauma and letting go of the things that are limiting them.

Unknown Speaker 6:13 Right, right.

Unknown Speaker 6:14 Look, I

Brandon Handley 6:15 really enjoy the book, actually, consciousness rising. I want to share it with you. But you know, I've got I'm using a, you know, reader on the Mac Book here. And yes, I've got highlights, you know, just highlighted many, many different things. You know what, let's talk a little bit before we jump into the book, though, let's talk a little bit about you know, who is Thomas cashew? Right? Like, no, you've got, you know, what I know about you is, is where the pieces of whereas it says no kind of with the heart of a social worker and the mind of an attorney and the soul of a mystic. I know if you were those pieces come from myself, but let's let the audience know, like, where does the the, you know, the mind of an attorney come from? in that?

Thomas Capshew 7:08 Yeah. Well, I've called, I've had what I call a meandering path through my life. So I started off as the middle of five children raised in a fundamentalist Christian household and started off my college career studying to be a minister, and ended up having a crisis of faith and left the church kind of ended up getting a psychology degree undergrad and then owned a small business and decided I didn't want to do that any longer. And so kind of on a whim, I went to law school. The reason that I went to law school is because I was a janitor in a law firm and had a running dialogue with the secretaries about how often I was supposed to clean the the kitchen. They were messing it up every day, and I was supposed to clean it up clean at once a week. And the attorneys told me, they were laughing about the messages. We were leaving back and forth. And they said, you should think about going to law school because you make good arguments and you write well, so you know, a few years later, I went to law school. I practice law in Florida for seven years. I enjoyed it. I was good at it, but it didn't make my heart sing. And so eventually, I got involved in the legal aspects of assisted suicide. That was back when jack kevorkian was doing his thing. And I was doing legal seminars for hospice. Workers about you know how to navigate that thought, and I got to know some social workers and thought, hey, that's a good combo social work and law. So I went back to school and got a Master's and PhD in social work, and then graduated and practice social work. And in the meantime, I decided to go to an interfaith Seminary in New York City. And God ordained as an interfaith minister, which kind of completed the circle of my meandering careers, but it's really fun because I feel like I've put them all together and what I do now, which is, you know, I've got I've got the ability to see clearly the what's happening, which an attorney does. I've got the The compassion that a social worker would have and I have the spiritual focus of my, my interfaith ministry.

Brandon Handley 10:13 Well, you know, I always think of life is the family life Cirque family circus, right? And that path that Billy goes on when he's kind of walking around the neighborhood, right? It's just kind of like it's just and, and life is not linear, right? I don't care. Yeah, I don't care who you are. I'm sure you went to school and you had some goals, and you met them? Right by becoming a lawyer. And that seemed like it was linear. But I'm sure that the whole path there and throughout was not right. Right. I'm really curious. So I'm not aware of what a fundamentalist Christian is. Could you just elaborate on that for me, because there might be an audience member to that might not know what that is?

Thomas Capshew 10:57 Okay. The way I'm using that term is someone who believes that the word the written New Testament is to be taken literally, and that that's what you use to decide how to live your life on a daily basis. And so, it's non denominational, meaning it's not, you know, one of the big it's not Catholic, it's not Methodist. It's, it's just each church stands on its own. So it's fairly constructive around behaviors. No, no drinking, no smoking, no dancing. No music in the worship service, other than acapella singing. So that's what I was raised in.

Brandon Handley 11:57 Sounds very, if we're gonna go to the 80s. Very Kevin Bacon, very Footloose. Right. Yeah, reference see, you know, I'm happy to share my my age, you know, as we as we mark ourselves as we go through these, um, the other piece in here is, you know, so you. So even though it was kind of restrictive, you still went to go study to be a minister right off the bat. Right. And I'm just curious, you mentioned the the crisis of faith, what what do you what do you feel like that was?

Thomas Capshew 12:34 Well, one of the things I did, as a member of the church is I did missionary service. So I went to Europe to try to convert people to Jesus. And the crisis of faith that I had was, I had this question that the members of the church couldn't give me an adequate answer for and that question was, say, there's a guy that lives in the jungles of Brazil, and has never even heard of Jesus, much less, you know, been offered to accept Jesus as a savior. And but he lives a good life, and he takes care of people and he does the things that Jesus would, would ask him to do, and he dies, does he go to heaven? Or does he go to hell? And the answer that I got from everyone in the church was, he goes to hell, and it's your job to get there before he dies, so that he won't go to hell. And that this wouldn't compute for me. As, as I have come to know my Creator. The the creative force of the universe, I the shorthand that I use for that force is love. That love is what created the universe and what is that energy that sustains us? And so, obviously, if the Creator is all loving them, they're you know, may not even be a hell much less. Have some arbitrary decision that some guy that's not heard of a certain person that's gonna go to hell.

Brandon Handley 14:37 Yeah, like, what about everybody that came before Jesus, right? That makes sense, right? I mean, I can see kind of where that that that breaks down. And then, so you're going through law school, you become a lawyer. We'll hit on heart song here in a little bit. And where you know what They're kind of in here, do you go full on spiritual? Right Where's like kind of your I know in your book you and I jotted it down to our at least I highlight it in the book. It's like, life's kind of like a series of awakenings. Right. And it's not just like, not just, hey, there's one awakening moment. But you know, there's a series of them. But if you could kind of pinpoint where you feel like you had maybe your first

Thomas Capshew 15:31 Well, the first awakening was the crisis of faith. The Awakening that brought me to the work that I do now is that, as a social worker, the spiritual component often has not considered. And when you think about mental health, often times what I've found in my practice, is that mental health issues arise out of a spiritual discontent, out of kind of not really knowing what you're doing here, not having a framework for how the world works for you. And so then out of those out of those uncertainties often come anxiety or depression, you know, if if you're working in a, in a job where you're doing something that doesn't really make your heart sing, then it's really easy to go into depression, you know, what am I doing here? Why am I doing this? Am I am I just doing this to get a paycheck so that I can pay my mortgage so that I can, you know, not be homeless? I mean, what kind of life is that. So that's where the spiritual discontent comes in. And if you focus on getting to the essence of why you're here, why you're on the planet, at this moment, or at this lifetime, then you can start moving into a place where you're, you're enjoying waking up and getting up and doing what you feel is what you're supposed to be doing for your life. Instead of doing what somebody else wants you to do for your life.

Brandon Handley 17:35 Right now. Understood, right? Definitely, definitely something that we hit on on this podcast often, right? You know, when you find when you find, you've kind of woken up to the idea that what you're doing now is really everybody else's best idea for what you should be doing. Right? And then and then then trying to figure out how to unwind all that into what you at least feel like you should be doing. So. No, I love it. So let's talk about the book. Let's talk about the book consciousness rising what you know why you why here, why now, this book?

Thomas Capshew 18:14 Well, let me tell you a little bit about how this book came to be. Because after my first book, divine warrior training, I didn't really have any plans to write a second book, but about four or five years ago, I kept waking up at 4:18am and got up and had stuff to write down, you know, typed out stuff, and I'm like, oh, okay, there's, that's an interesting article, like one of the first ones was, nothing exists outside of relationship, that you can't even define something without defining what it's not or what it's in opposition to. And so, over the course of the next couple of years, I just kept on getting prompted to wake up at 418 and write stuff down. It wasn't every every time at 418, but more often than not, and then eventually it dawned on me again, you know, kind of those awakenings to what source has in store for you. I said oh, this is a book and originally it was a book called The human value proposition which is the first part of consciousness rising, but eventually developed into what what we have now and the Why is mainly because I think Think it is in evitable. It's the, it's absolutely essential to reality that consciousness ends up remembering itself in, in, in the material form. That's the whole process that we're a minute part of, we're actually the leading edge of the material form, recognizing everything as divine. And we're just, we're just on the cusp of getting to that place where we say, you know, there's everything sacred. There's nothing that's not sacred, and we need to start treating everything that way. And when we do, our whole world is gonna shift.

Brandon Handley 21:03 Oh, absolutely right. I love the idea of kind of being on the edge of consciousness, right being kind of, um, I always think of it as, you know, just being literally on the razor's edge, right Is that fine as the universe continues to expand? We are, you know, the, the expanded, you know, de expansion of consciousness, right? And right on that edge, right? Always right on that edge of edge of creation, right? This is what's happening right here. And now, what would you tell me what you mean by consciousness?

Thomas Capshew 21:38 What I mean by consciousness is intelligence that created the material world. So in my first book, divine warrior training, I talked about I call it I call this process, the god game. Gods. You know, one of those shorthand labels for consciousness as well, although it's kind of been co opted by some people to be something less than what it is. But the god game is, before anything in the material world existed, there existed this intelligence. And this intelligence, decided at a point of singularity to begin a process where matter, matter was created, and matter is more dense than intelligence. And the the game is that, from that point of singularity, it created the material world so that the material world would eventually be able to recognize the intelligence of the universe. So it goes a full circle back, it's like a Hide and Seek game, you know, we're part of this huge Hide and Seek game where the intelligence of the universe forgot itself. And now it's coming back to remember itself.

Brandon Handley 23:18 Love it. So the guy games, the game is, essentially just to recognize the intelligence of the universe. Right. And would you say that, is that part and parcel to reconnecting to it as well? Is, is that the recognition period? Is that the recognition period when you actually connect? reconnect? Yeah,

Thomas Capshew 23:43 yeah, when, you know, we've all humans have experienced a habit. We've all had an experience where we've felt one with everything. Most of us have some, some people say they haven't felt that but many humans have felt that that's reconnecting that's joining back into the the understanding that everything's connected. Everything you and I are connected, every person that listens to this, every person that doesn't listen to this is also connected. So that's, that's the, that's the inevitable movement forward of consciousness to get to that place where I recognize that you're a part of me, that I'm a part of you. I'm a part of the plant that's sitting in front of me, we're all connected.

Brandon Handley 24:48 So, I try to I try to share out the idea that, you know, the universe crew was created, you know, from something the size of a pea, right? You know, and And if we think that we're not connected, like, after all being kind of jammed and crammed into the size of a pea, right, knowing what we know, to about just kind of like, how, you know, photons and you know, everything just stays connected, right? There's no masses, not masses, there's never never need less mass, right? You know, the same amount of mass exists and in perpetuity. So, at one point, you know, we, we've all been a part of one another, right? So we we carry it, even, even from a material level, right? Even if we can't, even if we can't wrap our heads around, like being synced on an energetic level, we can wrap our head around the the idea that we all share some type of at least a couple skin cells from whatever, before us, right?

Thomas Capshew 25:54 Well, if you think about atoms and molecules, atoms, you know, don't, don't disappear, they just get reconstituted. So, you know, we each can have atoms that used to be part of Albert Einstein, or part of Hitler, or part of Jesus, you know, those, those atoms that the material world just is in constant flux of shedding stuff and reconstituting as, as something else. And so we've each got that that we share.

Brandon Handley 26:38 Now, and I just think it's, you know, sometimes it's challenging to share that idea if somebody is not in this space, quote, unquote, right? So if they're like, oh, what are you talking about? You know, how do you? How do you share that idea? So thanks for thanks for walking through that visual as well.

Thomas Capshew 26:56 Actually, COVID has helped us with that a little bit. Because we now understand in ways that we didn't before COVID, that respiratory droplets are what sends COVID from me to you. And they're not anything that we can see. But we've certainly been able to verify that with science, right? And so then my, my being in proximity to your being has an impact, even if I can't see it, right. And so you take that from the biology of COVID. And you put it into the energetics of physics. And, you know, anytime you're in close proximity with anybody, your your atoms and photons are all mixed up together. And, you know, we know that intuitively. Right? You walk into a room, and everybody's angry, you can feel it, right. You walk into a room and everybody's having a blast, you can feel that. Right? You can't necessarily measure it, because it's energetic versus, you know,

Brandon Handley 28:22 that we can't measure it because we haven't developed the tools to do it yet. Right. Like, I mean, it's, it's really, it's really kind of what it boils down to, right. There's, I'm sure that there's you know, I'm sure there's somebody who's working on it right now. Right? I'm sure there's a prototype no doubt, no doubt. Um, one more thing, too, is is, you know, gone from a lawyer to a social worker, right? Why do that?

Thomas Capshew 28:46 Yeah. Why do that? Exactly? Well, because I wanted to follow my heart. I enjoyed practicing law. I was good at it. My last job was as an appellate Attorney for the Department of Transportation in Florida. And if you you know, you want to look it up. I my last case, was before the Florida Supreme Court, and I won that case seven to zero. And as it was estimated that I save the state of Florida, $660 million. So, you know, it wasn't that I couldn't do that do the work. It's that didn't make my heart sing. When I chose to go back to school, and I'd love to study I'm a lifetime student. When I chose back to go back to school, my attorney friends, half of them thought I was nuts, to go from law to social work. The other half were envious. Because they weren't necessarily doing what they wanted to do, but they felt like they were stuck. So, you know, sometimes you just have to make a bold move and be courageous and say, you know, this is my life and I'm, I've got to live it the way that I think I'm, I need to live it, even if you make a mistake. And it wasn't a mistake,

Brandon Handley 30:20 not not Oh, you know. And of course, you know, my first my first thought is I will not for you, Tom. Right. I know. So it worked out for you. And, to your point, though, too. I think that even if it's a mistake, I did a recent interview where, you know, we're just trying to talk talk talking at the end of the interview and, and she was just talking about whatever it was, she's doing, developing into, like, you know, being making a living, I'm like, Look, worst case scenarios, like you're doing something that makes sense to you right now, to your point, you know, following the heart song, let's talk a little bit about that. Because that is one of the topics in the book is the heart song. So, which, which I thought I thought spoke out nicely. I think it came in yet right underneath of. And I like that typography of potential, right. So let's talk about a little bit of what is the typography of potential and the heartsong.

Thomas Capshew 31:17 Okay. First, I want to comment about a mistake, because a mistake is only a choice that you've made that you haven't learned from yet. Once you learn from edit, it's no longer a mistake. It's, it was maybe a missed direction, but it adds to your, to your path. riddle me

Brandon Handley 31:43 this one. I've seen this. I've seen this a lot of times, and like I'm in the hardcore Personal Development Series, right? I just say hardcore Professional Development Series for these people that like, you know, you know, grind and hustle people, right? But the idea that a mistake made more than once is done on purpose, true or false?

Thomas Capshew 32:09 No, mistake made more than once is you haven't learned yet. Got from ionic standpoint, we, we create circumstances over and over again to heal ourselves. And sometimes that circumstance will re wound us. But that's part of our energetic move forward is to try to create the condition that will create the healing.

Brandon Handley 32:43 Yeah, no, thank thank you for that. I, like I said, that's one that always kind of irritated me, right? Just like, you know, who are you to make you to make that claim, right to be like, well, you made that mistake more than once. That's on purpose. What are you talking about? Right? Like, how can you be so like, that's, anyways, anyways. So typography, potential heartsong, let's say,

Thomas Capshew 33:04 yeah, typography of potential each one of us is born is created by love and comes into the world with a typography of potential. Just like a typography map, there are things that we will easily be good at, and things that we will have to work like hell to be good at. So there's valleys in our topography of potential as well as hills or mountains. So a good example is comparing my basketball skills to LeBron James basketball skills. I was born with a valley in my typography of potential for basketball. LeBron James was born with a mountain. So absolutely, he's worked his butt off to get where he is. But he started with the ability with a lot of potential that he just built on to make him such a phenomenal basketball player. I, I would never have gotten there, because I didn't have that preset group of skills. I had other skills that you know, I've worked to develop. So each one of us has that topography of potential. And our work is to develop a deep enough relationship with ourselves so that we can know what what that typography is so that we can find what I call our heart song, which is our heart song is that one purpose that we are on the planet to fulfill. Oh, you know, for me, it's working with people To live up to their potential, you know, that's, and it's taken me a while to come to that, understanding that that's what I was put here to do. And so developing different skills that helped me to live that heart song, you know, over time, what we've what we've done with people, we've, we've, as a as a species, we have wasted so much human potential. In fact, all of us, every single one of us will die without actualizing all of our potential.

Brandon Handley 35:39 I mean, and just pause there for a second. I mean, is that necessarily a bad thing? Is, is that a good thing? or a bad thing? Right? And like, yeah, let's say that, you know, you're doing all you can to maximize who you are? Or is it more to the sense of, there is always something more and greater that you can accomplish? Right? And regardless, regardless, right, so, inevitably, yeah, well, we're all gonna perish leaving something on the table. Right. Is that? Is that kind of the thought there?

Thomas Capshew 36:14 Yeah. And, you know, I'm not saying that that's a bad thing. But what I'm saying is that the way we've built society, is we really don't work at helping people develop their potential. We work at it our schools, work at developing people to work for other people, instead of to follow their own dream. And so you know, who's, who's the next? Yo, yo, ma in, you know, a low income area of Chicago that won't even know that for the their whole life because no one introduced them to a cello.

Brandon Handley 37:09 Right? Yeah. No, no, that's fair. That's fair. Yeah, that was something you had on in the book as well. It was it was talking about, I guess, coming along your path or opening up to your heart song. Or it might it may have been another section. And of course, this folks may, just because we talked a little bit about saying, you know, things may look bad right now, but they're actually good. Right. And one of the things for me, it is turned out? Well, in this related sense of the story of your book, we've had to pull our kids from the educational system, right. And we've been able to teach them at home. And I'm very excited about it, because I recognize that we're not like crushing little souls. Right, or, or trying to morph them into, you know, the, the solid and industrial line workers, right. So, for me, it's very exciting, right to, to be able to kind of break a shackle as it were, and to be able to, you know, we talk about coming back to ourselves, right, by coming back to ourselves, but a big part and this is my opinion, right? A part of us coming back to ourselves is because we've been layered and layered and things that we aren't by by the social conditioning, right? So if you don't get socially conditioned, right, then who do you have to come back to, then you have the opportunity to live out your whole life as who you're supposed to be? Right?

Thomas Capshew 38:47 Right. So imagine a world where every newborn was seen as God as seen as a divine being with unlimited potential. And our job as caretakers for that newborn is to help them develop there in a potential what, what kind of world would we have within five years mean that just think of the transformation where people would all be doing, what they love and what they were meant to be? And, you know, everything. My My belief is that if when we live into that world, everybody is going to be doing their heart song, and everything's going to be taken care of, I mean, Providence, you can I, I could be a janitor and be singing my heart song or I could, you know, decide that I'm going to figure out a way to convert you human excrement into energy for, you know, whatever, right? That the possibilities are endless if we start with the idea that as parents and as caregivers, were shepherding in higher consciousness, when a baby gets born,

Brandon Handley 40:27 I think it's interesting to think of it that way, right? To just realize that that's the consciousness expansion, kind of come right in behind you. And it's, it's your, your job or your goal or if you put effort into it, then you can help accelerate that expansion. Is that how you kind of look at it. So you also bring up the idea, and I thought this was pretty cool too. And it really kind of relates to, to the whole thing, but the tsunami of acceleration, right, or the tsunami of consciousness, and kind of what we're doing here and consciousness rising, always share a little bit of that. And I'd love to hear, you know, have you share where you see that coming into play?

Thomas Capshew 41:14 Well, the, the tsunami is just the, the volume of consciousness that's coming into the world. So if you think about it, 50 years ago, we didn't have a word for domestic violence. We didn't, we didn't have a word for child abuse. Those were concepts that have come into existence in the last few years. We are, we are accelerating the recognition of trauma and of wounds, that then we begin to heal by raising our consciousness and recognizing the way that we can treat each other that is a win win for everybody. And so that, that tsunami is happening. The The downside is, we're also in a tsunami of, of information. We have never, it humans have never had access to as much information as they've had in the last, you know, every every year it grows exponentially. And so, the problem with the access to information is that it it requires our brain to process the information, our brain is also designed to look for danger. And so that's where fear comes from. And so, there's so much information that anybody can access a limited amount of information and go to fear. And that's what happened. That's what's happening in our society is, we're getting siloed into different information flows that create fear of each other. And stead of going to our heart where we access our Creator and the love of the universe. And our heart is the place that when we live out of our heart, then we see the expansiveness and the way that we can all win and all get along and live into our potential and live our hearts song. So, you know, there's a couple of tsunamis going on. One of them is pushing us toward fear and one of us is one of them is pushing us toward love. And the great thing about being human, probably the the one thing I'd say is the most. The bait, the best thing about being human is we have choice. We get to choose, choose love, choose fear. You know, fear is of the head. Love is of the heart.

Brandon Handley 44:36 I think that the power of choices is it's recognized and it's often on recognized, right? So it's like for one once you recognize the power of choice, you're you're you're astounded, right but until you realize just how powerful choices the word and meaning seems arbitrary right? You know, because, again, go back to the you know, we you feel like you made all your choices yourself, but really you just accepted everybody else's choices for you. Right? And then and then at a certain point, you realize, yes, you accepted all their choices, but now you can start to see and turned your knobs and whatnot for yourself right to make your own conscious choices, right. with intention purpose, for those outcomes. One other term that you have in the book that I really enjoy, is the dominator consciousness been no, you know, to me, that's kind of what we're coming out of, if we choose to look at it that way. But could you share what what that what that what that means?

Thomas Capshew 45:47 Dominator consciousness is what we've been embedded in for 1000s of years. And it is the sense that it's important to have power over other people versus power among. And so what what's happened is we've bought into the idea that there's a limit to power, and resources and love, and all of those things are limited, when in fact, they are not, they're unlimited. If we access power from our Creator, there's plenty of power for everybody. If we access resources from our Creator, there's plenty for everybody. If we access love from our Creator, there's plenty for everybody. So the dominator consciousness perpetuates itself by creating scarcity. And then selling that resource to people. So for example, land is is scarcity, you know, is there's a certain amount of land available and, you know, if you live in Northern Virginia like I do, you've, you're gonna pay a premium for a piece of land, if you live in the northern territories of Canada, that same size land would probably be, you know, a miniscule amount compared to what it is in Northern Virginia. So it's creating scarcity and then saying, Okay, well, I'm going to have power over you by marshaling resource and then not sharing it with people. So power among is understanding that we all have capacity to access our source of power and love and resources. And when you do that, you become a manifester, yourself and you you bring into the world, the things that are needed, and with your co creating with the Creator.

Brandon Handley 48:23 Yeah, that's, I mean, that's the part where you really know where you release that scarcity, where you release, release that restriction on yourself, right? And you open yourself up to the possibilities, right? And therefore you know, you you are this kind of goes back to you now you're making those conscious choices now you're in alignment with who you are. Now you start singing your heart song, right? And and, you know, you begin to kind of let it all in

Unknown Speaker 48:51 what is

Brandon Handley 48:54 what is like one practical tool that you would give to somebody who's on the journey today.

Thomas Capshew 49:01 The most useful, practical tool that I suggest is to develop a practice where you go to your heart, where you meditate, and you access what I call the temple of your heart or the Sacred Heart. And from that place, you can access the resources of the universe. And so developing a relationship with your your interior landscape, as I call it, is probably the best thing you can do to find your path forward. Because our mind is what keeps us engaged with the exterior world that we see. And we aren't going to find our passion and purpose out there. We'll get a lot of people that will tell us what they think it should be. But only when you access your heart. Can you hear that? Quiet whisper of your heart song. And that's the only place in the in the world that no one else can go to. But you? Yeah.

Brandon Handley 50:22 Do you have I think I think I've seen some meditations that you offer. Do you have a meditation that would somebody could experience like this?

Thomas Capshew 50:32 I do. There's a on my website, which is Thomas kept shoe.com there's a free, choose love meditation that you can download. And in the last couple of months, I got a bunch of meditations put up on my, in my shop. They're they're really expensive, though. They're 97 cents apiece.

Brandon Handley 50:59 Oh, breaking the bank.

Thomas Capshew 51:01 Yeah, right. So what I do, I do a particular kind of meditation called x asis meditation. And the purpose of the next asis meditation is to shut down your mind and shut down your body, so that your consciousness can expand and move out into what I call the sea of possibilities. And so next asis meditation takes you, it's a guided meditation that takes you on a journey to a place where you become one with everything. And then I've got a series where you, then I lead you back on a level zero, the level one you, you go to the sea of possibilities and spend three minutes and then I lead you back. level two, you go for nine minutes, and then I bring you back. And level three, you go for 27 minutes, and then I bring you back. And so the purpose is to develop the skill to be aware in your consciousness without having your mind intervene. So it's, it's a, it's a bit. It's theta brainwaves for those of you that are more into the science. We're right now in beta brainwaves. If you close your eyes and breathe down into your diaphragm, you'd go into alpha brainwaves, which is light relaxation. Theta brainwaves is four to eight hertz, and that's deep relaxation. And that's where, you know, you come up with a lot of creative ideas and stuff like that. And then delta brainwaves asleep. So that phasis meditations are designed to have you hit that theta brainwave range and move out into your consciousness and leave your mind and body behind for a given period of time.

Brandon Handley 53:19 It's always nice to lead the body time. Always nicely the body so just real quick, who would you say your ideal like client is if you've got like an idea of that.

Thomas Capshew 53:29 Um, my ideal client is someone who is self reflective and who knows that they're they're a spiritual being having a human experience but often gets trapped in the human experience. And so you know, my job is to kind of help them tip that scale over to where they can live their life knowing that they're a spiritual being and everything they experience as a human experience.

Brandon Handley 54:07 Awesome. So if your ideal client is listening right now they should go to find more of you at Thomas capture calm or where were they find you?

Thomas Capshew 54:19 Yeah, that Thomas capture calm. I have, they can click on a free 30 minute consultation. So we can chat about what their needs are and what skills I have and whether that's a good, good match or not. I'd also like to offer a free ebook to your listeners. So if if you want a ebook of consciousness rising, then you can email me at free ebook at Thomas captured calm. So make sure you got three E's in their free ebook At Thomas capture calm and I'll send you a download for the book.

Brandon Handley 55:08 I know we didn't like to talk too much specifically about the book, but it's definitely it's an enjoyable read. I think it's effective. I think it's practical. I think that you know, it's very it's, it's almost like a spiritual lawyer wrote it. Alright, so Tom, I want to say thank you so much for spending some time on spiritual dope today. We really appreciate you being here. Thank you for I'm really actually interested in your spiritual warrior book. I think that sounds like fun. And thank you for sharing this book with me and sharing it with the world with the work that you're doing.

Thomas Capshew 55:44 You're welcome, Brandon. And I'm really grateful for you having me on and all the work you're doing to move consciousness higher.

Brandon Handley 55:57 And that's where we'll stop Tom. So I appreciate you

Unknown Speaker 0:02 What is going on a BB, that's me backing up, backing up into your life. So just checking in on you guys, then a minute, for a lot of things, and one of those things that has been a minute for my life is Brazilian Jiu Jitsu a little over a year, give or take some true practice in it. And when, when I was doing my podcast fatherhood for the rest of us, that's when I started, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. And he used to do a thing called this thing called the BJJ report, right? Because I come out of there come out of it, too, so pumped up and energized, really, really using my body. And, you know, connecting connecting with myself. In the divine mindset, divine framework that I have set up. A big part of how that originated in generated was through BJJ. And the idea is, when you're kind of in the state of flow, which I talked about this numinous feeling, which is when you are in a state of flow, there's this sense of time slowing down the sense of you being immersed. And all this surrounds you. And the, the idea of of newness is being a part of, of the all being a part of everything, as moving as one. And this is something that spills into again, this is something that's in BJJ. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for me. Of course, a big part of is when you first start off here, you're doing nothing but struggling for survival. You are, You are just a white belt, you are just beginning your journey. And come hell or high water was choking you out in the morning, right? No one, so can you out or however repeatedly? You are, you're getting choked out, you're getting put in armbars. You are You, you don't know what you don't know. And so you repeatedly put yourself into bad situations that are going to cause you to lose your rate of survivability is, is that a thing? Your rate of survivability goes down. And this applies everywhere. If you think about it, it applies everywhere. And until you enter and or have seen several of these moves. Many, many times. And you have experienced though, you will continue to flail, and you will continue to ride the edge of surviving. And that happens to us in all facets in all areas of life. And it's not until you take the knowledge of what you're being taught. And you apply it to where you are. And it's got to go further than that. It works. You take the knowledge, you see it in action, you know how it's supposed to work. You can tell somebody about it all day long. tell somebody about it all day long. So you can show people how to do it right. But the question is, Can you do it? Can you apply? And it's when it's when you apply it and then you see it working? And then there's that that jolt of like there's that you rica moment

Unknown Speaker 4:56 where it's like wow, it's actually coming together and There's, there's a, just the just these kind of grand epiphany is right. And the other 50 has a pineal gland. And just kind of like basically the the lightning rod getting hit. And I share all this because it's been a while, since I've done some singles It's been a while since I've felt the kind of motion and or emotion and or just something circulating percolating that I felt it was worthwhile sharing. And so the, the BJJ report, that's how that's what this is. And that's just a part of my journey in the spiritual space too, because it was because of, and is because of BJJ, that I just started seeing all this stuff come together, and it made so much sense. The idea again, it's not just the knowledge, the application of the knowledge, and then just general awareness. Going back to you don't know what you don't know. Well, how are you supposed to figure anything out, if you're not aware of what the things are? new job, children, just life in general, the first time that you do a lot of anything, you're gonna it's gonna suck, it's gonna it's not going to be done to this high level of aptitude. They, what do they call it, like, the young, confident, incompetent, unconsciously, competent, unconsciously competent, and, you know, whatever competent does this kind of four levels. Were, even if you did it right on the first time, you're not sure how you did it. It's when you start repeatedly. Being aware of your situation, having had the experience of what those opportunities are, and the beauty of BJJ. And life really is that when you don't hit the move, when you don't defend against the choke, or yarn bar or the submission, and you get submitted, doesn't matter. Doesn't matter, you can contract you can congratulate the person next to you and

Unknown Speaker 7:35 you can get better. It's not about stopping when you become defeated. In that situation. It's about moving moving on moving forward, having that forward progress and having the spirit

Unknown Speaker 8:00 and the will to want to improve yourself, for yourself. And your your own well being and tying that all together, right by mine is spirit. I don't know that there are, you know what, there are plenty of places to tie that all in together. Where I see it and learn from it the most currently is to be BJJ. However, you know if you can figure out that, at least the ways to get your, your mind and your spirit together at least you've got two out of three, but a lot of people can't. There we go. A lot of people of course, always talk about the three legged stool, you need that third leg. So that's the I've been missing kind of the third life because there's not a whole lot of other exercise. For me. That works in the same capacity. Now you can be doing yoga, that can be your thing. Nothing wrong with that you can be doing bike riding your your triathlon, and you're, you're getting your steps in. But for me, this is one of the places where I can have the opportunity to have body mind spirit all tied in together as one, sharing the journey with you as we continue that that's my spiritual dope. That's one of my hits. Of course, you know, other hits include on the way home, see the family, getting getting the family time in and seeing everybody beyond beyond survival, right seeing everybody having survived through through this pandemic. And now coming out of it. There's still plenty of places and you know that are not in an also spot but seen as Everybody comes out of it does this renewed there's a, there's a revitalization there's a revitalization for for people seeing each other again, being able to see each other again. And, and evil. To live again. And I'm not saying that again, I'm not saying that we weren't living in this past year, I'm not saying that you can't live in any other way. You know, without people like, again, we were very fortunate, nobody got sick, and we were able to live, live in live in a pretty awesome way. That being said, seeing people out in public, and seeing people doing some type of normal normalcy. It's this revitalization. And so coming out of, I guess, the darkness, we'll call it, we get to experience and there's a renewed appreciation for some of the things that we once took for granted. And so it's my hope for you that you're recognizing something similar like that in your life, and that you won't take the, the these moments that you're given for granted, right really relish these moments. I mean, there's people out there that lost people, to COVID. And so they don't get to experience those moments again. But going forward, they will really appreciate the time they get to spend with their loved ones more. And being able to be with with their friends, again, being able to experience some of those moments. For so long, kind of held us hostage, either physically or mentally, in a scarce scarcity mindset, a fear mindset. So if you made it, you made it through there, you know, recognize that you've been given the opportunity to continue to

Unknown Speaker 12:23 enjoy it and have a great life. And hold on to it for a moment enjoy. What is it? What is this going to bring to you in these offices,

Unknown Speaker 12:36 all of this is just kind of brought to you by being able for me to be able to get back into optimization just to take a moment and put it all together, getting out of strictly survival mode. And being aware of this kind of what else is out there being aware of what else is available. And having some extreme gratitude for that. How grateful Am I that I get to have this experience and life experience? So hopefully for you, you're enjoying yourself, you're enjoying life you're enjoying. Whatever it is your spiritual Zopa is the golf courses are open, spring is open. Your life could be taken off in wishing and with the best and enjoy your spiritual death today.

Brandon Handley 0:00 All right, cool 54321 Hey there spiritual dope we are on today with Sarah R. Adams Sarah has experienced many things from seeing abductions to seeing angels who aided her. Her waking consciousness increased as she got older, she experienced the supernatural and past lives in Egypt and Atlantis, telepathy, weather abnormalities, feeling others emotions, remote viewing, quantum leaping, and time travel are among the other Ultimate Reality sir has endured. I've healed so much and believe that every day's healing journey to great heights real quick in there. I mean, it's just in the intro, sir. endured so much, right? I mean, entered all these different all these different phases, phases and places is that kind of what you're saying there that you've entered.

Sarah R Adams 1:00 So it's been a long journey. And, you know, thank you for bringing that up. Because this morning, I was pondering on that, during my meditation, you know, it wasn't so easy to bring all the knowledge and all the things that I experienced to the public eye, because there's still a lot of close off people out there. So it was definitely a learning process for me of how to handle that and how to cope with it. So that was definitely hard. At one point, I almost stopped doing this work. And I'm very blessed that I had some major supporters in this field that reached out to me to encourage me to continue the work that I do. So yeah, that was that was definitely hard. And then, of course, you know, I've come to a plan, I've been putting it on a planet, where it's, life is hard for a lot of people and I'm able to tap into their feelings, their emotions, their hardships, that suppression that's going on on this planet. So that also was very tough journey for me to just, you know, be able to just be able to, to process that because it was really intense to experience all of those things. But on the bright side, I, you know, I'm able to really help out humanity on a lot of levels. And I've helped out 1000s of people all around the world, of course, I'm doing a lot of work to help out the planet. So in the end, there's, there's the light at the end of the tunnel less or shit,

Brandon Handley 2:32 not for sure. And you're talking about, you know, the beginning of your journey, or at least, you know, prior to where you are now. And, you know, as I hit in dirt first one of the things that I noticed on your bio, too, is that, you know, you've made two appearances on Gaia. TV, beyond belief you've done with coast to coast, Vice TV and saw these other faces. So, you know, continuing to move forward for yourself, you were able to and I feel like you know, at least this country and maybe the world is opening up to this space in place, right? Or somebody like yourself that's got these talents and gifts to share, right?

Sarah R Adams 3:15 And it is you know, so I decided to work for Gaia. I had, I had a an experience in England, that was very tough at the time, I lost somebody that I deeply loved. And we were doing a lot of work in this field. I kind of just, you know, stayed in England in a small seaside town, with family with extended family members and I decided to stay there and kind of step out of the public eye. And then I got this call from Gaia and Gaia. They when the producer spent like four hours telling me you know, we're really professional here, we're going to be very good to you. We we love your work. We have a lot of faith in you. We want to support you can you fly over to the United States and come and do some work with us. And of course, Netflix reached out to me at the same time for two other shows. And I ended up deciding not to work for Netflix and Gaia because that was initially what my read was to choose Gaia because I believe they're doing good work for the for the world because they are given the experiences of blessed intuitive healers out there and have awakened people out there to a larger platform and a lot of people are open to Gaia and it is for me it's amazing because it was hard before you know you do your YouTube accounts, you do your interviews, your live feeds, but then Gaia really is at a level where that's becoming more mainstream and they've done a lot of work to get us out there and I'm so thankful for that I'm so blessed for that. And for the just for them giving me a platform so I could get the information that I have out there. Because for me that information is vital. And I checked a lot of information on self healing on healing others on healing the planet. And these are this is information humanity needs right now. So I am deeply grateful for that.

Brandon Handley 5:22 Yeah, no, that's, that's awesome. Right. God is a great platform. I think it's interesting that, you know, you chose that over Netflix. But you know, my instinct would also, you know, say that, you know, that's the platform that was right for you, right. I mean, it's a kind of, like a forest bias kind of situation, right? With Gaia.

Sarah R Adams 5:45 I'm tremendously thankful to device because we did film this whole show. Of course, at the time, I wasn't doing very well, I was trying to cope with a with a person who is close to me, like I said, that passed away, it was in mainstream news, it was very hard for me to deal with, because I feel the energies of everyone. And I'm Vice came over I did a charity event in England, for children who have cancer, they came in helped me out with it. They stayed with me a little bit, and were so supportive. And, you know, then they decided to air the show eventually. And they were so sweet. They got on radio shows, and were so supportive of me, they eventually decided to the show, like a day before, I was like, I don't think I could do this, right? Like, you know, I just don't think that I can be out there more. I feel like I have to be in the public eye. They were so nice. They completely just got rid of the show never aired it. So I have a lot of respect for advice to

Brandon Handley 6:43 the school. Let's say that they respected your wishes in that way. Yeah. So I love to start this off with this is not on, you know, usually I do a quick intro and to jump right into this question. So this is a, you know, we're here, right? You and I are connecting here for this moment, this time, space in place, to let source speak through us to somebody who's going to listen to the podcasts, or maybe watch the video at some point. And they're tuning in to get a message that only you can deliver right now. So what is that message at this point in time.

Sarah R Adams 7:17 So, you know, for me, looking around, and even feeling what I feel from the planet and from the masses out there. And this is why I do the work that I do because I know of course I hear about homelessness and see homelessness and hear about abuse going on, I see it. But I feel it because I'm in God consciousness, I can feel what's happening across the world, the pain and suffering. So this is why I'm so passionate about helping out humanity. This all needs to shift and change. And we need to understand that whether we know it or not, we're feeling that person's suffering across the world. We're feeling the the energy of that person suffering, we're feeling their emotions, we're feeling everything, even though many are not aware of this. And so for me, awareness is really important right now, people need to become aware that they are more than this physical body is that they are energy and energy is what is what we're basically everything is made up even solid objects, like the chair I'm sitting on, it's just condensed energy that creates solid objects. So when energy is condensed, it creates solid object. So for me, people need to become reconnected. And once they become reconnected to the energy field within them, which is their soul, their spirit, there's many names for it, then they could channel that energy, they could channel that energy to heal their organs, heal their physical bodies, and heal those around them and also heal the planet because the planet bunches on on energy, our bodies function on energy, we have a problem right now, this plant is depleted in energy, people are depleted energy, you know, and there's, of course, there's a lot of, there's a lot of info in the awakened community, about DNA and how you fly up your DNA how you should, you know, charge your chakra system your aura. But what people really need to understand is that they need to actually go out and do these things. They need to go do them and bring in the cosmic light and we could touch the moon, the stars, stars, the sun, we can even ask other bees come charges with ancient light codes. When that happens, we're going to start to become more full of energy full of energy, our whole system will light up our DNA will light up because a body says a body that is deleted that is depleted. Functions right here in energy. It functions right here in consciousness, we need to ascend to higher consciousness to fix the problems to be solution bringers on this planet, and so we need to go we need to step from up down here to appear energetically wise. When we do that. We're going to be gone conscious And we're going to have the biggest library that's infinite, that that's eternal, challenge us the solutions for everything before for the suffering for the homelessness for everything. So I think that that's really important right now, you know, it's important, we were more than words that we actually bring in that energy, that we start to understand how energy works. And that we need to start to understand there is a lot of beings out there that want to help us, we need to do the work to bring in the energy, because again, we're at here, the bees are here so we can access them. But once we bring our energy, if we're going to get to the same levels, these bees, and they will interact with us. And then also, you know, there are kin they're going, they're more than willing to bring help and solutions to us. So for me, the biggest, biggest thing is that humanity understands that they have a soul, it's made of energy, they can charge their bodies with more energy, and they can use this energy to go higher in frequency so that they can become multi dimensional again, so that they can reach new heights of spirituality, then they could channel the energy through them to heal the planet to heal the oceans and to clear the pollution and the negative energies off this planet.

Brandon Handley 11:17 So no small message, or a small message, a small message, right? No, and just just help me out here just with some of the language. So if I say God consciousness, and and and and then kind of the way that we're talking and what you're saying, could I liken it to the Akashic Record?

Sarah R Adams 11:37 Yeah, you know, that's Yes. Akashic Record. vast library of eternal knowledge. Yes.

Brandon Handley 11:47 Okay. Every part of it. Yes. And, and I know, you talk about, you know, different beings or ETS, etc. Are they you know, would you say that they're among us, and it's just our inability to recognize them? for like, the dimensional are currently limited. Well, so the most of us, right are limited capability to see multi dimensionally or at a higher level. Um, and, or simply like, a belief block, right? Just like, you know, if you believe the stories of like, back in the day, when, you know, the story goes, Hey, you know, when Christopher Columbus came over with the boats, Indians didn't see the boats because they didn't know what a boat was. Right? So how are you going to see something? If you don't know what it is?

Sarah R Adams 12:42 Well, you know, it goes back to the whole thing of energy that I just explained, yes, there's many different beings I interact with leprechauns, fairies, elves, many different mythical creatures that I speak to, and I see them like I see you. Now the thing is, is when your energy fields down here, you're functioning from lower consciousness, when your energy fields up here, you're functioning from higher consciousness, and you're also tapping into these other beings, when you're functioning from up here, it's all about energy a depleted body, simply your client kind of robotic kind of show off, you can't access other realms, you can't access other dimensions. So you're down here living down here. So the thing is, is that to be able to communicate with these beings to interact with them you have to bring your energy up you have to bring your frequency up. And of course when I go to save God, you know God consciousness for me, God is an energy that flows through everything it flows to planets, to realms through everything, and this energy interacts with us of course, we have a certain amount of it in us and otherwise we would be dead because the organs and everything functions on energy but what we need to use we need to understand how to bring energy into us. So we can speak to this moon stars the sun, the ancient spirits of light, we can say, you know charges with more energy and that will happen as our frequency goes up, then we're going to start interacting with other beings. And even a non believer can do this for somebody who's never had a spiritual experience in their life or or interacting with an ET or any other supernatural creature. If you just bring your energy up, you'll have those experiences.

Brandon Handley 14:21 Okay, so if Let me also are you I'm sure you're familiar with David Hawkins and the consciousness map Yes or no?

Unknown Speaker 14:30 A little bit.

Brandon Handley 14:32 Okay, and I bring that up because he's got like, a basic graph right? Just says hey, you know, low consciousness down here. And you know, gives you like, certain like levels right? Sounds like a ladder up to like, you know, God consciousness, right? Because, you know, where if everybody's got like this lower consciousness now, then we're stuck in fear, right? Then if you're stuck in fear, then like, you know, you can't see shit. You're stuck. You can't see anything because you're just all using See his worry and fear? Yes. Right. And it's going to take you to kind of there's a tipping point is like courage, right? Where you know this on the ladder where just says, Hey, alright, well, I stepped into or accepted like, you know, my divinity like might you know my source energy but it's going to take me a little bit longer to figure out what to do with it next right like now you've got the source of energy you're connected, you're tapped in your love but you're like still like this big blob because you don't know what the hell to do with it. Right? Right. And then, you know, so he walked in and so you kind of walk up the ladder until you get to this higher consciousness spot that you're talking about? And then you know that part, you're at that that part but how do you how do you how do you walk somebody into, you know, get to get to become reconnected? How do you walk somebody, yourself like to get shot, like God love to get charged some ancient like codes, I'm down, like, I mean, so what's that process?

Unknown Speaker 15:56 I can arrange that for you? And yeah.

Sarah R Adams 16:01 You know, okay, so you're right, you know, you tap into, or you bring in this energy and you're kinda like everywhere. So then you have to master that energy. Because, you know, God, which we're gone mastered the elements price master the elements Christ had owed to the ocean to comment it did. So you know, instead of letting that energy just everywhere you channel that energy. So you say, Okay, I want you to, to do this, this and this, and you instruct that energy. And that's where you actually achieve what I call God. Entire, the entirety of access and God consciousness, because if you're just in that chaotic energy, it's going to eventually you know, cause a lot of problems. So then you have the energy you instruct it, okay, channel to the planet here, channel to my life here to create a new more success and blessings channel to this person here that needs it. So then we must know how to master it, which is quite important. Probably the most important, above all is knowing how to master yourself. So we have so many co pilots out there, nobody's living as a master pilot of themselves, their energy fields, and this is causing a huge problem. They're not, you know, we take showers every morning. But we're our energy fields are full of gunk. And nobody's actually cared to clean. A walk, you know, the city's his stuff. And it's passed back and forth and eventually returned to this like dense web of energy. And they don't know why they're depressed, why they're feeling bad, why they're sad, why nothing is manifesting good in their life. It's because they're all in that web. So it's really important to understand how the energy field and to clear it, bring in energy and then master that energy.

Brandon Handley 17:43 How do I get myself out of the web?

Sarah R Adams 17:47 You know, so I work in symbolism, of course, I've done some work on Gaia for this. And the body of Christ said that the body is a temple. The body is the original church. By the way, we weren't meant to go to church to access God, we were meant to this soul code symbolism permit to access God within here. No, we're looking for God and books, religions, all this all these places, failing to realize that the most powerful force actually lives within us. So to access that force, you must first acknowledge it, you must acknowledge that there's this energy within you. And then you must also start to communicate with it. So it's formed through our organs is formed through ourselves. So to bring more energy in what I like to do is I like to speak to each organ. So what I do is I visualize my DNA, I visualize it, and cosmic energy pouring into my DNA to light my DNA. Then I visualize a golden tunnel, I visualize myself flying up to the skull through this golden tunnel, until I got goosebumps all over my body. And then I go to PES five Do I go to 22 D. And once I get to 22 D, I mean God consciousness, I have my mind clear. I focus on my liver and you don't even need to know where your liver is, or the organ you're working on. And I ask I say, I say, is there any desert energies? Is there any toxins? Is there any ancestral energies? Is there any dense dense, toxic energies from things that happened to me traumatic energies, and then I clear my mind and weight and the organ response to a thought almost telepathically. And sales show me either I'll get an image of like this black smoke energy that needs to be spent, there's dense energies that need to be cleared or I'll say, anger or it'll say hurt or pain. Then I tell my system, just like you would press Delete on your computer, I tell my system, delete this out of my system, and I can feel the energy completely been removed from my system. Then I ask the Oregon again, I say what color do you need, and then they'll tell me gold or blue. blues great for inflammation. Bold is great for to energize the organ. So I go through all my organs and do this, myself, my bones, my brain and do this because again, going back symbolism, if you go to Europe to the ancient churches there to the cathedrals there, they have an origin in it. And of course, when you play the organ the symphony is, is heard throughout the entire church. So our organs create the symphony, that that that flows through our entire body, our aura, our chakra system. So if one of our organs are off, it's just like one of the keys of that Oregon, in that church feed off which will, which will create a symphony, that that sounds that that's off, that's out of tune, that's out a symphony, and in basically the same as what the frequencies in our bodies, when organs are blocked by toxins, by trauma, by all these negative things, and their energies are off, then the frequency, the tune of our frequency, the symphony of the Divine within our frequency field is off. And then we start to create all sorts of issues everywhere in our life and our physical life, which is a reflection of our Symphony that's off within ourselves, our frequency, that's all within ourselves,

Brandon Handley 21:18 I can definitely see that right, you're a mess on the inside, you're gonna see a mess on the outside, right? I mean, right? Um, you know, how does one learn, you know, to master the energy, right, instructing the energy, I really enjoyed that versus kind of like, Sounds Sounds like a little bit more fun than your traditional prayer type of thing be like, please, you know, be really cool. If this happened, you send an instruction out again, you have to use in some program language, like, you know, create an instruction, this line always works for, you know, this thing, right? But how do you know, how do you tell somebody to, you know, again, going from, Alright, here's all this energy, it's a mess, but like, how do you go from that to just being able to instruct it? Because mastery is something that takes a long time, it's not something that takes a month. Right? So what are some of the stuffs there?

Sarah R Adams 22:09 I think, reason that, you know, it mastery, for me can be attained by everyone in quite a short, short space of time, once they understand how their system works, because we're bodies, right. And we're seeing them as prisons, we're seeing them as negative, we're seeing that we're caught on this planet, rather than understanding that their divine tech. And this was a gift giving to ourselves when we were in the realms of spirit. So we could have a 3d physical experience. And we are not, we are not treating this physical body, this tech, right, we're not understanding how it works. So you know, because of this, I feel a lot of the and while I'm very thankful, and have a lot of honors, honor for those who have taught about mastering oneself, I believe, once you connect to your system, it goes quite quickly. So you speak to your organs, once you learn just to do it to one which takes a couple of minutes, I teach this to my clients, then you go through them all, and it doesn't take long. And you know, in three weeks, I have people who are completely it's almost like they're reborn again, they're they completely are mastering their, the frequencies within themselves. And they're there. They're channeling higher frequencies. And so I really, for me, the knowledge of how to how to unite the spirit, God energy. So it's one with the physical body, which is also divine tech, that knowledge has been lost. And so this is creating a problem because there's there's people discover different ways to master their energy fields, but they haven't truly tapped in that, hey, you can go into your system, just like a computer, where you press Delete, you can delete all of the old energy system out and then rebuild a new energy system. And this is what Christ meant and Bible that thou shalt be born again, it doesn't need to actually physically die, it means that you need to go in and clear all that old energy field and create a new one. And you can do so. And, you know, it's quite easy to do once you once you step into that.

Brandon Handley 24:18 I mean, I guess I could see that right? The idea of connecting, going through a process learning the process. And then once you're, you know, tuned in, tapped in turned on, right, you're you're Oh, yeah, you're good to go.

Unknown Speaker 24:33 But well, you

Brandon Handley 24:35 know, the other part too, right. I think you mentioned this and I wanted to tap on it. He talks about like books and religions as being not like imminently necessary right for, you know, to be able to do this. However, I mean, would you also say that i like i like if I read a book, and I understand something to me that I think As my level of where I am versus the book per se, right? Is that fair to say? Like, so if I pick up a religious book and I'm like, Oh my god, I have an epiphany. It's not necessarily a book. It's just my understanding. Exactly.

Sarah R Adams 25:14 Yes, exactly. And, you know, the thing is like, I love books, by the way, a lot of antique books. I have books from England, I have quite a library of say love books, but at the same time, I know being a God consciousness, I instantaneously know things. And like the Bible, okay, so the Bible, first of all, it's not, it's almost like being worshipped. People are so obsessed with the Bible. It's insane. It's, it's, it's deterring them from a god, which

Brandon Handley 25:47 was misunderstood, right? Like, I mean, it's been like, passed down from generation to generation, you got this one group of people is like, hey, let's, let's take all the literal meaning out of this whole thing. You know, which could, you know, translations never been altered over, you know, 1000s of years. So, you know, I'm sure everything in there is like, perfect. Right. And then they,

Sarah R Adams 26:07 well researched the Bible. It's First of all, it's, it's not the word of God, because it's a lot of different prophets, prophecies, history, and mishmash of things laid down put together then to then create the Bible, which is said to be the Word of God, which isn't true at all. Um, but the true Word of God is within us, when we tap into that higher state of being, we just instantaneously No, because we're in God consciousness, and we don't need to read a book, because God is within us, and we're accessing that. So for me, when it comes to religion, um, and, you know, this might be controversial to say, but I know don't say controversial stuff, and I honestly don't care because I know people need the truth, it's going to help them out of this world that they're living in of dense energies. And in the Bible, there was also a lot of political stuff put in there to suppress people, you know, just like says, pay your taxes, and this and this, and this. And then of course, it's, you know, way the Bible too, is, for me, it's quite a dense energy, because there's, there's, there's the murder of millions of people in there, there's the murder of innocent animals as sacrifice. And you know, any logical person, any person who's somewhat functioning, R is going to look at that state, why would God construct to kill children, animals and 1000s of people, you know, if your god you would ever do that, that's, that's, that's not gone. In fact, that's the opposite of it. So for me, religion has caused a lot of havoc, it's also put made people think that they're sinners. And it's made put people in this sort of like, energetic West system, which I feel is part of the false matrix system, false light matrix system, where it doesn't tell them how to actually heal, it just makes them feel bad, because they're sinners, and they have guilt and everything else. And it's quite huge problem on the planet right now. And to send it to God conscious, you got to get rid of all of that, you know, and it's sadly it's ingrained in our very DNA, some of us because our, our grandparents and so on, have the everybody's been in religion, and whatever you believe those codes are going to go into your children and your grandchildren. So a lot of people they, they're, they're actually being born with these codes that need to be re deleted out of the system. So they can have a free mind. So their souls can be free, so the energy can be free, so that they can actually function function from a higher consciousness. So it's really important to to get rid of all of that, hey, the Bible is, was also King James, who had the whole Bible done, who did a book on demonology. Nobody knows this.

Brandon Handley 28:47 Nobody's got that one.

Sarah R Adams 28:50 Yes, nobody's got that one. He wrote a book on demonology, how to summon demons, but the Word of God and I do water research. I've done a lot of research on the Archons because I've encountered you know, spirits that feed off of other people's energy field. And I really feel the Bible is tied into the archives and into lower spirits. Once we're clear of energy, of guilt of negative energy and guilt and all that stuff, no, no negative spirit can can access us. So they want us to have guilt and they want us to feel like sinners, because when we do things can ask us to feed off their energy fields. I think it's kind of religion was created. Almost for me, the opposite of the Divine is connected into the lower energies,

Brandon Handley 29:33 not 100% I can I can see that right and especially if you're taking the Bible at kind of face value. I guess I'm referring to a lot of some of the other people that have given me a different perspective on it. Like neville goddard is a guy that like you know, I think gives you like a fun perspective on the Bible that doesn't, it's not the is based off of like astrology and all these other things versus you know, some other stuff and versus what I was taught growing up, I remember very clearly, like really listening to him, like driving off to some back roads, like talking about the Bible, like, you know, and to me the way that it was intended to be delivered, I was like, that's it. Why is this? Why isn't anybody talking like this, this is what you're you're supposed to be hearing versus, you know, if they're talking about, like, for example, one of them was like, talking about the sheep, not following the sheep, per se, but like, you know, about, like, it's the rough texture of the sheep versus something else, like all the symbolism, which, again, I'm sure, you know, up your alley, right. So not to dive too deep. But I mean, I think that to me, again, the bigger part of it all is like, you know, when you're reading books, and I don't feel like they're, I feel like there's definitely misinterpretation of the Bible. And I also feel like, to your point, you don't need to go, when you go read all those books, understand that the things that are lighting you up are coming from your own understanding from within, right, not from that book, per se.

Sarah R Adams 31:02 Yeah. When you know, and there's codes and symbolism and everything. So like, if I read something, and I've read the Bible, like, countless times, and I, when I read something, I see it differently, I'll notice a person who reads it that, you know, they haven't access God consciousness. They'll take it literally and see it differently than me who actually sees codes in it. I mean, there's a lot of codes and symbolism in religion, but those are stolen. Those were stolen from the ancient prophets, prophets, those writings and then, you know, given to us in different religious books, but is there sure is there some truth in bio, of course, there's some truth in the Bible. And otherwise, that would keep people attracted to so they always put truth and lies

Unknown Speaker 31:46 together. It's sure. Yeah,

Brandon Handley 31:49 no, for sure. For sure. It was funny. That's who I had as a, I made a little note here, when you're talking about the matrix. Remember where they're the the cat like in the one scene, that kind of glitch for a second, like you said in the matrix, and then it was like almost a glitch when you said it was just kind of funny because you glitch in the matrix?

Sarah R Adams 32:06 She said, there's two matrix, there's two light systems, globalist plan. One is the original light system on the light system of ancient light, which is going through the forest, it's flowing through everything. And then we have what I call the false light system, the false light system, is the pollution on this planet, because pollution is heavy, heavy, dense energies are being bombarded with pollution, negative belief systems, that's another one. Whether you know, and we are actually born into a system where there's, we go through schooling, that's a system that closes us off from our creativity from the divine, where we go through jobs, that's another system that makes us you know, basically almost like it slaves us for money. And it keeps us from our true calling, calling our soul path, we have all these different systems that are a part of this false light matrix system that we are born into, and that we grow into and that tell us what to think it tells us what to eat, it tells us how to dress, it tells us what to do on every single level, while it's hitting us with pollution, so that our bodies because each cell by the way, and this is some This is some ancient knowledge here, because the ancient Egyptians, they used to be sun worshippers, and they would bring in the light of the sun and that would charge their aura and they're in all the organs and of course, their chakra system. The cell is a solar panel with the light would come through it and charge our solar energy. However, the the brushes are, the pollution comes into the cell, and specifically heavy metals, we're being bombarded with heavy metals everywhere, putting in different things like vaccination and stuff as controversial as that sounds. So heavy metals get into the cell and reflect out like a mirror. So the light cannot charge our auric field and our energy systems. So we are basically lower consciousness because we are not not charging. This is why we have so many energy vampires, people are depleted in energy, often, they are terrible to themselves and others their murders their abusers. Anyone who does not have a higher energy charge, they are basically functioning from lower consciousness, and they're they're vampires. They're energy vampires. So we have this whole neural connected false light matrix system, which blocks the shoe light out is fucking, like I said, on a cellular level on an energetic level on a thought level, in the belief systems on all these different levels. And sadly, much of the planet this planet many millions of people are tapped into that false light matrix system and function from there. You have to completely disconnect from that and then you have to reconnect to the true life. That light of the Divine that flows through everything. So, you know, you have to kind of peel back the layers almost like an onion, you've got to peel that back so you can get to your core energy within yourself of the Divine

Brandon Handley 35:15 was something was first up. Like, I mean, you know, how do you recognize you're you're in, in, like, the bad matrix,

Sarah R Adams 35:26 I think it's really easy to tell, you know, you're going to be depressed, you're going to be stressed, you're going to be worried all the time, you're going to be tired. There's no joy in life. Because, you know, again, being down here and frequency, you, you have to be high frequency data, joy, bliss, love all those beautiful things to feel good. So if you're down here, you're gonna be sick and everything else, and that's, you know, then you're gonna be you're gonna feel like you're you're suffocated in life. Those are a few of the things you know, that will tell you that you're connected into the lower energies. And then of course, you need to start with level number one, and that's the physical body, you need to start to detox it, detox it, detox it, and bring in light energies. So then, you know, you can bring in light energies, without doing any what I call visualization meditation, which is another level of bringing yourself up through drinking herbs, bringing in a lot of food that has light energy in it, that's fruits, vegetables that have charged with the sun's energy that moves energy to certain bring that energy into your body. Because our diet, you know, I noticed specially here in the United States, our diets are depleted in energy, literally minerals, nutrients, we're in a dead diet. So we're a week later, we like a walking dead. So it's so important to bring those things to bring in vitamins and nutrients into your system to bring in a water that's charged with energy. So I put my my water by the way, in mason jars and put it under the sun and moon put crystals in it. So I'm charging it, that's one of the ways I like to do it. So then you're going to start with the physical to just start to simply change his frequency through your diet through de toxin. And then you know, start to do things like meditation, visualization, meditation, start to do things, you know, physical things to get your body also healthy, such as working out yoga. Things like those are a couple of the first steps that people need to take to actually get themselves to higher frequencies.

Brandon Handley 37:30 Right? So this is, those are a couple, the first steps you're going to take to break out of the, I'm just gonna call it the dark matrix into the light matrix. Right. And it's kind of interesting as you're talking, right, the the foods was like energy. I forget, I was watching some, you know, plant based diet but but, you know, basically you're eating if you're eating you know, freshly grown in the sun, vegetables and fruit, you're eating the sun, that's sunlight, right? I mean, it's literally captured sunlight. So at least if you're getting it into you, I could just see myself blowing out like the the metals or whatever from the inside.

Sarah R Adams 38:09 And that's another thing, see what toxic toxins, um, you can also go in your system, and tell your system to transmute them. So you tell your yourselves, you know, I want you to transmute the energy of toxins chest, made it to golden light, and then charge yourself, you're telling yourself charge itself with that. So we can actually go in our system and tell our system to transmute these energies of toxins into higher frequencies that will then charge us and bring us into higher consciousness.

Brandon Handley 38:44 what's the what's like, a timeline for something like that right to to is that require like belief that you you and your system, and your body can do that for yourself.

Sarah R Adams 38:58 And, you know, that's why they really, in society try to make us feel less than inside. Because once we believe our God, that manifests is in herself. And we are immensely powerful.

Brandon Handley 39:11 So real quick, though, so if I'm God and your God, like, what's up, I mean, you because I think I think a lot of people, though, if you if you were to say that, and you're saying it right now they're like, well, if you're a god, you know, why is the world like this? Why don't you fix it? And if I'm God, then like, why is my world like such a shit show? Right? Like, so? How do you address that to people?

Sarah R Adams 39:36 So it wouldn't be fair, if only your God or I'm God, and we have all this power, that would be imbalanced. So God wants us all to know, we're all God. And we must all work together to heal the world, because that's fairness and balance. And of course, God is energy that flows through us. It flows through you, it flows through me and we must have All acknowledge that word God, this is quite important for the planet right now. And that because when we knowledge that, then there is no fair there is no, there is no nothing that can hinder us from healing our planet, but it would be unfair if just one of us forgot. So yes, even though I have quite immense divine power, it's not up to me to clap, it's up to me to say I have found God within, and pass that light to others until everyone saw their light within and works together to heal their planet. That's what the divine wants, it wants us to know that we're all pieces of this beautiful, divine puzzle. And we're all needed. And we all need to step into our Christ consciousness, not just one of us, because, you know, if one of us came and healed the entire planet, it wouldn't fix the solutions go back, they, they would expect to save your over and over again. They haven't stepped into their Christ selves. But once you step into your Christ stuff, you understand that you come from a place of compassion and goodness. So you understand not to continuously do harm to yourself and others. So this is a this is kind of the grand plan divine plan for humanity. That's why in religion when it says, you know, just there's one Savior, that's such a, it's false. Christ said, All our Christ, Christ was trying to show people, I have powers, and you can achieve this too. And price that I'm God. And that was very controversial back then. But Christ had realized that he had this God force within himself, and he became one with it, and realized he was gone. And so he was trying to teach humanity.

Brandon Handley 41:43 Now that makes sense. I mean, I think that makes a you know, to the same to the same degree, almost, that if you and I were to run out and say that, God, right, those people right now are like, no, you're not like, That's messed up. You can't talk like that. Right? But all you're really saying is like, you know, I am filled with source energy to your VM. We started this whole thing off with a, you know, without that, without that divine energy within your body, that lifeforce within your body. You don't work? Like I mean, and nobody figures out like how, like when you die, like nobody's like, hey, did anybody catch the battery that fell out? You know, where does? Where did that life source go? Where did that God force go? Right? So and, you know, you're talking about, like, you know, Jesus, I can do these things. And you can, you can do the same and so much more. Right. And that's, I think, I love that line. I'm like, well, Dude, what's up? You know what I mean? And so,

Sarah R Adams 42:39 like, what's the Why? Why are you guys not healing people? Why are you guys why is the earth this way? Because they haven't found the the, the issues within themselves, they have actually become one with the energy to understand their God. So that's why nobody is really healing themselves and others has done this religion actually keeps people from accessing that. And, um, but yeah, I see that all the time. But hey, of course, I have been in Christ consciousness, I manifest myself beautiful, happy,

Brandon Handley 43:07 like, it's worked out.

Sarah R Adams 43:10 Everywhere. Yes. So I am the master of my life through that.

Brandon Handley 43:14 works, right. But But I think what you're saying though, too, and I heard down, like, it's like a string of Christmas lights, right? Like, if one goes out, like, then the whole thing's not working, right. So we're all kind of like, in that string of Christmas lights. If we're, if we, if we got a few that are busted, the whole strings not gonna work. So we all got, we all got it, bring our lights and you're passing the light on to the next person, next person, you have just as much in you, as the next person does. It's just their ability and willingness to recognize it, harness it and nurture it, is that what you're saying?

Unknown Speaker 43:49 And, you know,

Sarah R Adams 43:52 like I said, there's some truth in the Bible, but it says that, once a man realizes that he's, he's, he's got Christ within him that he has power, more power almost to the angels. And that's, that's amidst power. And, but but God being fair to all, even with beings like me, who have come to this earth to channel this information, I don't ever want to be on a pedestal. I don't ever want to be above anyone. I just wish to show them what I have done within myself.

Brandon Handley 44:30 But I think that that's it. That's so that's a tough one for people there because like, you know, it's like, again, you're not saying you're above or beyond anyone, you just made a different choice to recognize your your connection to source right and that's, that's it, right? It's not like, it's not like you're better than somebody else. Not like your higher not like your lower not like you're more powerful than anybody else. See, there's just like, this is, you know, like the whole Jesus thing, you can do this and so much more.

Sarah R Adams 44:57 Exactly. So I you know, I've devoted my life To showing people why achieved and that they can achieve just as much within themselves. And this is important because God is so fair God would not put one above another. So there's just those of us who have realized that we're God and we're worthy, our own price, and there's those who have not that they're below us. Just they haven't realized that yet. And at some point in the future, they will realize that

Brandon Handley 45:31 right, or, you know, depending on like, I guess where you were your stances on like the reincarnation bit, right, or just like, in next lifetimes, until, like, there's a full recognition of, you know, soul experience, right, I'm here to have an experience. And you know, if I don't figure it out this time, like, maybe you know, next time, right? So what are some of your biggest objections, somebody, you know, when when you tell them that they are God, that they are source? What do they say to you,

Sarah R Adams 46:03 it almost releases that makes them so happy, because they, you know, a lot of people look up to me. And so when I tell them that they're like, incredibly happy, and they're, it's eye opening to them, because they're like, Wow, you've achieved so much. And you do all these things, you travel dimensions, you go out of your body, you speak to ETS, but you're looking at me, and you're telling me, I'm God, and that really in a beautiful way shapes them, and they start to think about it and helps them wake up. And they're very accepting of that. And they, you know, I help them realize their power within them. And that, you know, even though a lot of them a lot of people I come across, you know, sometimes they'll just be having my, my cup of hot chocolate or tea, and I'll look at the person who's talking to me, I'll say, you know, your God. And they just smile, and they like, tell me, you know, tell me about this. And I tell it to them, they understand it, and it really helps them to wake and more.

Unknown Speaker 47:11 That's cool, right?

Brandon Handley 47:14 I definitely haven't gotten to the point where I run around tell people that they're God, right. But yeah, I see, you know, definitely. To the point, though, where I know that I look at everybody and everything is divine, right? That's just kind of point that I'm at

Sarah R Adams 47:27 what he says all the time, when I'm walking on the street, I see a smiling child or a hair, bird chirping, or I feel the wind blowing through my hair. I'm aware, God is within me and all around me. And God's always speaking to me. It's such a beautiful thing. And it's, for me, what's heartbreaking, is that knowing that humanity has, they're not opening the door to that. And that's the solution. And once they did they never be lonely. Even if they were in the middle of the desert, they would know that they're gone, they're okay. And everything's gonna be okay. And and there would be no fair, there would be nothing, you know, that could hinder them ever really, truly hurt them in any experience. So it for me, it's really intense because I get to experience this. But I realized how hard it is for people who don't have that support from the divine. It's really hard. They're 3d lives.

Brandon Handley 48:30 Do you feel like we're turning a corner at all? Do you feel like the realization and recognition of you know divine within Christ Consciousness is accelerating?

Sarah R Adams 48:43 I do I believe that the pressures of you know COVID the pressures from our politicians, the pressures from our economy that is just been destroyed via these different things. I feel like the more pressure that humanity has on it, that they're going to look deeper within they're going to start to look deeper within and find that power, and that's going to help them transcend all of these things. And that pressure is there to help them access the Christ consciousness to push them within more to step into their God consciousness.

Brandon Handley 49:24 Like a germination a source.

Unknown Speaker 49:26 Yes,

Unknown Speaker 49:27 I got it.

Brandon Handley 49:30 Let's do ETS. Before we leave, just for fun. Give me the lowdown on the ETS Anju

Sarah R Adams 49:38 Whoo. So I you know, I had when my team who saw me shape, shape shift into et By the way, so I get this question a lot. People are like, what are you you're you supernatural?

Unknown Speaker 49:52 Are you a goddess? Are

Sarah R Adams 49:53 you a witch? Are you this? I've had 1000s of different labels and names thrown at me. So, you know, we have these bodies right? So we have many other bodies A lot of people don't remember this, but this is their only body that they've had. They've lived on other planets they've taken many different forms but above that they were in their spiritual in spirit

Unknown Speaker 50:17 world

Sarah R Adams 50:17 so their God consciousness, somewhere in God consciousness, I've taken bodies of ETS I've taken bodies in Egypt and Atlantis and this is my, you know, most recent body

Unknown Speaker 50:29 to daily driver,

Sarah R Adams 50:30 right so just like we take off clothes and put them on that's how I see it. So yeah, I have had some incarnation says ETS different ETS Um, so that's something that I'm highly aware of. I have merged in the energy from whenever I was in et so I have that energy within my field they beat motion energy for when I was in Atlantis from when I was in Egypt, and it has a lot of information it's kind of amazing because I kind of left all this information and then pulled it back into this lifetime so that I can help out with the, with channeling knowledge to humanity. That was all this information I cut it during the time I went to fit into physical bodies. So with ETS, I mean, they're again, they're just a different body that they put on for a while to have experiences in. I speak to them sometimes like I said, I definitely go into the energy of when I was at et and shape shift that I'm quite aware of that people around me too. But for me ETS are our they're my kin I'm always up with the council's they, they're so telepathic and they're so they can feel things from other planets, they can be another solar system and feel things that happen on our planet. They're quite in tune. And they're kind of like the Sears is the divine is because they're the powers that they have the technology they have comes from the divine they're so close to the divine. It has an immense power that gives them all the technology all the abilities they have in fact Believe it or not the ET races that are that are the have the most light energy through them are the most advanced races not the ones who still energy.

Brandon Handley 52:14 Got two questions left. Got a favorite favorite et Ah, I

Unknown Speaker 52:18 can't see that I

Sarah R Adams 52:20 I feel heartbroken say that because they all love me so much. And I love them so much.

Brandon Handley 52:24 So I just today could change tomorrow.

Sarah R Adams 52:29 I still have to stick with all of them. They do such divine work for the planet for humanity, and I'm so grateful to have their

Unknown Speaker 52:35 presence in my life.

Brandon Handley 52:37 No Wrong there's no wrong answers. Are we that much more removed than from ETS in terms of being close to the divine? I mean, is it harder for us to get that close? Or have we made it harder for ourselves to get that close?

Sarah R Adams 52:52 humanity's made it hard for themselves, you know, because never left humanity. These beautiful beings, interdimensional beings ETS never, never left humanity. They've never turned their backs on humanity's humanity has turned its back on itself. And on God on its own children on it on its own planet, because they're not they're not stepping into God consciousness and they're simply living a 3d life. So if humanity was made the obstacles for themselves,

Brandon Handley 53:23 so self inflicted kind of walls and cutting ourselves off from source. intentional or unintentional. You know, I think I think it could be argued either way, right? You know, what's the Maya Angelou line where, you know, you do your best until you know better, right? And, yes. And I think that, you know, we've done our best with what we thought was the right thing for quite a long time only kind of to get to this point and be like, Oh, really, this is the best we can do. I think we I think we missed the turn back there, right? somewhere. So we should have turned left. We should have made a right. Well, so listen, I you know, there's so much to do, which barely scratched the surface of you. But I just want to say thanks for popping on today. What is you know if what is like one thing you wish somebody had always asked you but never had?

Unknown Speaker 54:19 Hmm.

Sarah R Adams 54:22 That's a hard one. But let me think for a second there. You know, I think that I wish that people would have understood that I was only that I'm only trying to bring them goodness and asked me about that more deeply and intensely when I was younger, when I had just gotten this filled in when everything was chaotic for me. You know, I wish they would ask more questions that came to me about the things that I experienced and about me being different. That would have been amazing. Now they do. So I've manifested that. But it's something that I would have wanted when I first got into this field,

Brandon Handley 55:09 how would that have helped you?

Sarah R Adams 55:11 I think instead of people misunderstanding me, because a lot of them did, it would have helped them understand me a lot more,

Brandon Handley 55:18 just by kind of asking questions versus what was happening,

Sarah R Adams 55:24 versus theories or fair or I feel like people are very fearful of things that are different. And instead of approaching and fair, or having their theories or beliefs, they should approach with kindness and by asking questions, and getting to know those who are different, because, you know, I've had my share of where I was misunderstood, despite the fact that it was only trying to bring healing and goodness to the world. So I hope that that's something that in this community, people can do more, they can just simply be honest with you ask a question, without any ulterior motive behind it, or belief system or theory about you. As somebody who has a, you know, I have a huge following. You don't really know me, but you can ask me questions now honestly, answer. So I that's what I feel. There was a lot of questions back then maybe not now that I wish people would have asked me so they will could have understood me better?

Brandon Handley 56:26 was one question that I could ask you that would help me understand you better.

Sarah R Adams 56:32 Take a guess. And you want go ahead. Come on.

Unknown Speaker 56:37 You can ask me anything?

Brandon Handley 56:39 Yeah, I mean, this is what I feel like I should have asked asked earlier in the show, but I mean, Was this something that you experienced? And I believe if I caught correctly, there was some abuse while you're growing up, too, right. So was, you know, Was this something that was trying to manifest then? And Was that something that was holding you back from sharing more of your gifts?

Sarah R Adams 57:05 No. So I chose to come into I chose to come into a body and experience abuse, I could understand it, how can I go to a planet and help out that planet, I didn't know what they were experiences. So for me, that just gave me a lot of knowledge, it could destroy me or truly hurt me. I think what was more heartbreaking was the public and the people in the awakened community, who were not approaching me in the right manner. And that's that made it hard for me on my journey at a certain point of which I, you know, overcome. And I know how to deal with the public better now. Because back then I was so you might say non human, I was so different. And everything was quite intense for me. And I, people saw me and they were like, Oh, she's definitely different. And it kind of, I feel like maybe made some of them afraid, or they could understand things. And they didn't approach with questions and kindness. Rather, they approached with being quite harsh. That's what really I had a hard time in my journey. And at one point, you know, I just took a timeout, and Christ and Jesus appeared to me, sorry, Buddha appeared to me. And Christ Buddha said to me, now, you know, how we felt, we were just trying to help out humanity. And they Christ was like, they killed me, because they didn't know how to approach me, they didn't know how to understand me. And even though I just wanted to help them, they did this to me. And now you understand this. And now you understand that you're on a planet, where even though they think they're very bad, they're quite primitive in knowing about the divine and about energy, and a lot of other things. And because you're bringing this information, is that's really triggering them, and that it's bringing up a lot of things in them. And it's bringing up their fear of anything that's different. So I and I got to feel the emotions of Buddha and Christ and how heartbreaking it was for them just to want to help the world and have experienced that. And they did provide support for me, they were like, you know, this is your journey. No, we experienced this. And we knew it was gonna happen, but we're here for you.

Unknown Speaker 59:21 It was beautiful.

Brandon Handley 59:23 I think that's that's huge. Right? I think, first of all, your capability, I guess, and our willingness to view, your abuse in that light. And I think that, you know, I caught briefly, you know, maybe that's part of how you were able to heal yourself was by being able to see yourself in that way. And kind of, you know, how can you How can you take your what seems like this really awful thing from your past and harness that as your power, right? Or at least bring it into yourself and accept That, you know, plays something good for you and who you are today. Right? So I think that, you know, I think that's a really cool way to take a look at it. And also, to your point, again, you know, of coming from the space and trying to have a conversation with somebody who doesn't understand it right. There, the questions can be awkward. So the questions would be like, well, what, uh, you know, so, the question is, can be awkward, so I can understand to like, you know, the desire to have somebody ask you questions that in kindness, right, versus, you know, kind of, I don't know about like, I wouldn't say mean spirited, but like, again, if somebody doesn't understand, then we come from a world, kind of where you poke fun at it until, like, you know, you understand it, right? Or something like that. But, uh, again, I just wanna say thanks for sharing, you know, all who you are, in again, this kind of short timeframe. Today here on spiritual dope, and where can people go find you?

Sarah R Adams 1:01:12 Thank you, I really enjoyed this. And, um, so they can find me, WW. Sarah are adams.com and that's with an H, of course, and I am doing a lot of great projects. I just opened the retreat center here, Sedona, Arizona, I knit a store, I coach people you know, on how to heal, how to access the dimensions how to speak to ETS, and I'm doing the wealth and conference here this summer so they can find out more about that. They're

Brandon Handley 1:01:42 also about the conference

Sarah R Adams 1:01:43 is you know, it's an E t conference, and it's gonna have a lot of my Gaia friends there that do work on Gaia. So we're gonna have a great time. I am excited about this. And I just say wanted, you know, they contacted me, they said, we know that you are in contact with ETS, we know that ETS have a lot of messages for the planet of how to heal the planet. Can you just come and channel that for us and speak about that? And I? Yeah, I'm more than happy to go do that.

Brandon Handley 1:02:13 Why would you say no? Now very, very, very cool. Again, thanks for being on. It's a lot of fun.

Unknown Speaker 1:02:19 Thank you.

Brandon Handley 0:00 All right. Okay, ready? 54321 Hey, there's spiritual dope on here today. We've got a very special guests. We've got rain Dalrymple. Let's get right to it, right

Raine Dalrymple 0:15 certainly did.

Brandon Handley 0:16 Yeah, good, good. It's just got a it's got a spelling. It was confused me rain. And so thank you for I butchered quite a few names coming on.

Raine Dalrymple 0:26 Well, often what I often what I'll do is in you'll notice in my book, I just write rainbow, because it's way easier to me.

Brandon Handley 0:35 What's the what's the origin of that last name? Like? What's, uh,

Unknown Speaker 0:38 what was it?

Raine Dalrymple 0:39 I believe it's some Scottish and I think there's some English and French in there. Okay. Okay.

Brandon Handley 0:46 Good to know, good to know. So rain, you and I, you know, you're an author, you're a teacher, your your number of things, but like, you know, if you know, for this podcast, what would you tell people? Who How would you describe yourself? You know,

Raine Dalrymple 1:01 I would say that, you know, I spent a little over two decades in education and in the helping profession working with all genres, like persons with disabilities, daycares, ex offenders, women, men, there isn't really, you know, any genre I haven't worked with, I don't I don't think. Um, and so now, I've taken all of that information and that growth on a professional level, as well as my own personal growth in my own life experiences. And I've pulled that all together. So I would basically say that I'm, you know, an author, content creator, visionary. But that's good for now. There's lots in there and intuitive.

Brandon Handley 1:51 For sure. I love it. I love it. Thanks. It's a sometimes like, sometimes the BIOS that, you know, we share back and forth, they don't really catch the essence of who you really are, like all the time, right, that they read well, for sometimes, like, Who are you really? Right. And I actually

Raine Dalrymple 2:09 did tell you the truth, I hate writing them, because it's like, Okay, how much do I say I do? And how much do I leave out? Because it can tend to go on and be dry? And you're like, sure. Yeah, you just you don't want to hear all of that. Right?

Brandon Handley 2:24 It all It all depends, like I said, when it's in when it's in writing, it's I think you can take it in a little bit faster to write and then like, when you when, you know, how can you be concise enough to just deliver the essence of who reign is right.

Raine Dalrymple 2:38 So thank you. Yeah, for sure. And we're all we're all, you know, we're in this evolution. You know, we're maturing, and we're growing in everything we do every day. Right. So what we were yesterday, we may be something different tomorrow. So yeah,

Brandon Handley 2:54 absolutely. I couldn't agree more. So like to start these off with the whole idea. You said, you know, you're an intuitive. And, you know, you've seen angels, and so you're no stranger to kind of opening yourself up and connecting to source. And I'm going to ask you to do that to share a message right now to a listener that could only come through you today, right now, in this moment through source, what's that message? Say? Right?

Raine Dalrymple 3:27 I'd say the message would be to believe that would be the biggest thing that you can do, not only for yourself, but for the people in your lives. And and also for for the angels and, and the universal source that exists.

Brandon Handley 3:48 So to what and so if I believe in that, and for myself, I like that. And for for the people, right? How does that extend to two people?

Raine Dalrymple 4:03 Well, really, what it's saying is that it doesn't matter. You know, what faith you come from what religion you believe in? And then let me just say they're in the benevolent realms. Not in the malicious for humps, although it is all energy. It's all the same energy, energy is energy and it's alive. But what we really want to understand in our own awareness is that we're not alone, right? We're not here alone. We're not even when we are alone. We're say living in our apartment by ourselves. We're never truly alone. Because we have source which is God's source, the divine, whatever you want to call it. I mean, again, those are labels, right? And we're language people, right? So we have to attach some kind of a word to it. But source is source and source is an energy. That is the superpower is a super conscious power source. And so when we tap into that, we come to understand and learn what the role of consciousness is, and how it can function in our lives to help us to live a better quality life.

Brandon Handley 5:23 Now, you know, a lot of good things in there, right? Obviously, right? You hit on, especially the benevolent realms, right? Just trying to see what kind of good source can bring to us, right. And especially if we believe in source as being benevolent, we can do that for ourselves and for others. The idea of not being here alone, just as you spoke about not only being connected to source but you know, potentially angels or other others, right. Always, always interesting to hear that we, as humans, can only see like less than 1% of natural light anyways, or the full spectrum. So there's 99.99% that we're missing out on. And he hit on to like, what is the role of consciousness was, you know, I know that this is something that's, you know, going to be big for you, in your book and sight Beyond Sight? Is, is consciousness, how would you? How would you? What would you say consciousness is because I'll just give you kind of like, where I get twisted, I still get twisted on it, right? Like, I'm always like, consciousness of of what right? Like I'm, when I'm conscious of something, I'm aware of something. And what that something is, can be any number of things. But then when we refer to you and I, in this conversation, consciousness, we're speaking of this greater consciousness, this collective consciousness, what are what are we saying? or What are you saying? And when you say,

Raine Dalrymple 7:02 well, consciousness is the ability to be able to see that there is more to us than you touched on it. You talked about the human condition, right? In a sense, you said, our humanity. So yeah, we can go about our day, and we can live our day, no problem, without being fully conscious that there's something more out there than what we're seeing, because we have to remember that we're living in the 3d world, which is we, we believe in what we see, right? We see the table in front of us, we see everything in the materialistic world. And so that's what 3d basically is, it's living in that cerebral world, of like our left brain perspective. So you know, strategy, logical, that sort of thing. When we're talking about consciousness and becoming awakened to it. Now we're starting to see more than what's in front of us more than just the table in front of us more than the room that we're able to see in a spiritual realm. And we're able to hear, feel, see, and sense spirit, right. So it's all about when we are able to do that, first of all, we want to become aware of it, and we become aware of it. being introduced to it in a lot of ways, some people are introduced to it, you know, by attending a church revival, some people are introduced to it by sitting in a sweat at a sweat lodge, some people are introduced to it by, you know, just surviving, surviving a vehicle accident. There's a lot of ways that were introduced to it. Some people are born with that psychic intuition. I'm sure you've heard of that. And your listeners have heard of people talk, you know, Sylvia Browne, and, you know, those sorts of people that said, they always knew since they were three or four years old, and they were getting messages. My my recollection, didn't, I didn't really start feeling that happening for me until my 20s. And I, you know, I talked about that.

Brandon Handley 9:21 Yeah, I think in your story, right. You mentioned though, that you had something occur when you were younger, but you didn't recognize Yeah, till later in life. Let's talk a little bit about that. Because, as you're as you're talking about the introduction to it, right,

Raine Dalrymple 9:37 yeah. I didn't go. I didn't go deeply into a lot of the trauma that I experienced in my life in the book because that wasn't the object of the book. I do talk about trauma. I do talk about difficult times, but I always want to bring that back around to Okay, yeah, that happen. Shit happens, but how can we fix it? What can we do to Change that what can we do to change those blueprints that happened to us, you know, in those childhood years, or if say, you know, a woman is, you know, raped when she's, you know, going out to her car in the grocery parking lot or, you know, like we you know, there's things that happen in life that are not very nice in there pretty ugly. So what happened to me when I was about five, I had a trauma happened to me. And I, I just remember feeling my my soul, lift off my body, kind of like, come forward a bit, a few a couple of inches, and then lift up, out through the top of my head. And I'm sure some of your listeners have heard of people that have died on the operating table, and had that similar type experience. And I just remember I went by slipped through the crack in the, in the ceiling. And when I, when I did that, I was out into the other room. And I could see all around, but I couldn't hear anything. It was like I was buried in this hole, and I could not hear anything. I'm like, it just there was there was no sound, it was just like dead air. And then I slowly, I don't know how long I was in that state, you know, kind of floating. And then I went back through the crack and slipped back into my body. And so nothing really, you know, paranormal happened to me for many, many years that I can recall. Until my 20s, I started questioning why I was here, questioning my purpose, trying to understand what is what there's got to be more to life than this. And as I started opening myself up, right, in that awareness, then I started having a lot of these really strange experiences. And so that's sometimes how it can happen. A trauma can trigger us to have an experience. And then that then opens up what is often known as the threefold flame, which is within us. So when we say yes, there's something else out there in that in that big old, universal world, that is all empowering. It's also within us, and that's what people that's why it's so important for people to read my book, because they're gonna get it when they read those stories. And they're, they're gonna go, oh, okay, whether you've had no experiences ever in your lifetime, or you've had experiences, there's going to be something in there for everyone, they're going to get it and they're going to go, yeah, I actually have felt that warmth, you know, burning inside of me, or when I lay down to meditate, I can feel that energy, that that flame that's alive within me. And that's the connection to, you know, that superconscious. Divine that we know that we call God, most of us.

Brandon Handley 13:10 Yeah, no, that's awesome. Right. A couple couple questions I have in there. Let's see, I guess kind of walk it backwards. And, you know, listen, I agree at least that, you know, having felt that warm. Having been in that scenario, that's a that's a, just a wonderful connection that you can you can experience them in so many different ways. So if you're teaching people how to do that through through your coursework, that's amazing, right. I think that that's, you know, highly valuable. And we'll talk about some of the benefits that as we kind of move forward, but what is I'm not familiar with the threefold flame, what is that?

Raine Dalrymple 13:48 That's a Christ consciousness. experience. So it's, it's it's a it's an energy source of God. And so it's the threefold flame of love and light and power in a positive way.

Brandon Handley 14:11 Okay, no, thanks for sharing it. I'd never never heard about it. So I'd like to I like the imagery and kind of the application and again, yeah, together then you've kind of got this. This kind of, like, inner sun as it were, right? Exactly.

Raine Dalrymple 14:28 Yes.

Brandon Handley 14:30 So you've also made reference to a couple times even before we got going, you know, paranormal experiences. Um, and and it was funny because you said you know, you, you asked me if I'd had some paranormal conversations on here. I guess I had never really put it into that light. Right and thought about it is paranormal. I'm just like, well, this is just one person's experience. That's another person's experience, and I never done the paranormal at it. What would you consider paranormal just so I can Yes, and we can understand that a little bit better.

Raine Dalrymple 15:02 Well, paranormal are experiences that we have that belie logic. So, for example, when I was pregnant with my daughter, I had gotten up in the middle of the night to use the washroom. And when I walked out of my door door, the doorframe of the bedroom, the bathroom was over to the left, and I saw something sitting on the top of the stairs to my right. And, you know, you're half asleep. So you know, you just kind of like, like, looked. And when I did this double take there, on the top of my stairs sat an angel, and I could clearly see and feel that it was a male, on his back was to me, and I could see the wings and the white. And then, you know, as quickly as I looked, he was gone. Right. So it was, definitely, because I was worrying, you know, most mothers that are pregnant at some point in, you know, those nine months, they, you know, they are often concerned, they want to have a healthy baby, and, you know, those sorts of things. And, and I just took that as a very positive sign that he was just letting me know, everything was going to be okay. Right. So that gave me that sense of peace. And that is, is often you know, when angels come to us, that's their role is to encourage us to bring us that piece to help us to, to not worry to not, you know, having xiety and to trust, right to trust that everything will be okay.

Brandon Handley 16:42 Well, I would like it if an angel or two would show up and bring me a little sense of peace and encouraged. So, you know, it's funny, like, I guess that's just because they're the paranormal. I don't know, if I ever did or I just, again, to me, it's just your experience, right? You're you You're, you're open to receiving that, right? So so you're capable of it, right? If you're open to it, then you're capable to see it and receive it. And, and for you, it's easier to believe, right? Especially as you have had, my guest is more than one of these experiences, as your you know, so you're, you're in your 20s, you've, you know, you have the introduction to kind of source and these experiences when you're much younger, and now it's happening much more often. And you're in this kind of educational, organizational space, or you're a professional,

Raine Dalrymple 17:42 right? Actually not yet Nika, because at that time, I was raising my children. So I was I was home with the kids, and I was, you know, doing laundry and making meals and that sort of thing. So I think it was the perfect scenario for source to come to me and all these different ways, you know, visions, I was starting to have visions, just like, you know, I'd lay down to, you know, go to bed at night, and all of a sudden, just visions would start happening to me, and I'd open my eyes, and then I closed them again, same vision would continue to happen until I let it play out. So, you know, it caused me to, you know, question What's going on? First of all, what, why, why me? Why am I having these, these visions and to try to understand what the message was as well. Right. So, you know, I started charting my dreams to under, you know, better understand what was going on in my life. And, you know, it was really, it was really just, it was a school, essentially, from, you know, the divine was passing on to me to, to go through this. So that I guess, at some point, I could do this book and share it with people.

Brandon Handley 18:52 Right, so I'll be part of a big part of what we'd like to do here is understand, right? How, just again, in your story, how were you able to incorporate I guess, your your connection to source and spirituality? I guess after you raise your children or got back into the workforce, like, how did you merge the two worlds, right? How did you merge the spiritual world with like, yeah, Hey, I got to show up at work today for this cup of coffee and then type my TPS report.

Raine Dalrymple 19:29 Right, right. Well, what's interesting about all of that was that wasn't my goal plan. In the beginning. It wasn't to, to teach in that way. I was I was brought into that world through opportunities and doors that open for me. So again, you know, that brings us to this place of gratitude because we realize a lot of times things that we do Experience aren't are doing, they're there, they're from, from a higher power that is guiding us and directing us. Now, keep in mind at anytime you can say no to any of it just like you yourself friend and can say, you know, I would really like to have an experience, like, give me something here. And when you ask, eventually you will start to have experiences that might start small, where you say, you know what, you know, if you really do exist up there, source, show me I want to see feathers, I want to see feathers, and lots of them. And you know, there's a couple of feathers stories are one at least that I shared in the book. And so you know, you might end up you know, waking up in the morning and you making your bed and all of a sudden, all these feathers come flying out of your pillow and you don't own a down feather pillows. So how in the heck did they get in there. So this is just kind of the fun way that sometimes they, you know, show us these signs, because they really want us to believe they really want us to know that they're there and to to also ask and to lean on them to help us. So, you know, you can ask, right? I guess it kind of got Oh, okay, so you were asking me, I get off track on these stories. That's okay.

Brandon Handley 21:15 So the biggest the biggest part, right of a lot of this is, once you've had a spiritual experience, it's really hard as hell to get grounded again. Right. And it's really hard to go back. Right, right. It's hard to it's hard to say, Okay. Yes, I'll go to work today. Right? And I guess, you know, so how, you know, how were you able to have that experience, and continue to stay in, you know, connected to source and then integrate into? Well, we'll just call the real world for now.

Raine Dalrymple 21:53 Yeah, for sure. So, you know, as you mentioned, we're, we're, we have this human body, but really, we're a spiritual being, you know, functioning in the human body. So, you know, you're going to work and you're, you know, you're taking care of youth, or you're, you're, you know, when when I was at the time, when it's, you know, started progressing, and I started incorporating it, I was working with persons with disabilities. So, when you think of it, it was very helpful, in a sense, because it really helped me to interact and relate with the girls much, much easier than if I were functioning out of this real word, man, real world mentality. And then fast forward, you know, down the road, and, you know, working with children, and, you know, they're just like, they're just like, everything is amazing to them, right. And they're just bundles full of love. And then, you know, working in, you know, helping people with life skills. So now you're incorporating the imagination, you're incorporating creativity, you're incorporating all of these wonderful tools and skills that are opening and awakening the people that you're teaching. So, for me, it felt like it was very easy to incorporate the two, because now you're living that world, like you're living in that world, you're living that life, you're incorporating the two in your own life, into your own world. And so then it therefore becomes very easy to talk to other people about it, and to share and to help them to see their own value, you know, as a spiritual being. And I don't mean religion, that's not what I'm talking about, just as a person that can see possibility in their own lives. Right?

Brandon Handley 23:50 Absolutely. Right. How can we, how can we show someone the greatness that's within them? Right? And in a sense, I recall, I recall when you first started into this space, right, feeling this way and feeling that everybody has that within them, right? Everybody's got it. And I recall going to I was at I was at a convention, and I was talking to people I was like, Well, you know, we can talk about what it feels like to step into the greatness of who you are. And man, the looks I was getting, and people were like, What are you talking about? I was like, and as they say, there's an uncertainty to believe that there's greatness within you, right? Or what's or even doing, or there's an uncertainty to recognize that what you're doing today right now in this very moment is great. Yes. Right. And so I think it's very shameful that that we can't see this for ourselves, right? That's

Raine Dalrymple 24:55 and it's amazing that you shared that with those people because I mean, as such If you you look across the world right now, like many people are still asleep, you know, even after this whole year of the madness that's going on, we are still asleep.

Brandon Handley 25:10 Yeah. So here's I think, I think here's what kind of sucks in my mind is that we're also who were we're in the midst of like this this quote unquote woke culture thing too. And I think that there's, you know, there's, there's, there's this like woke culture to, you know, I think racism and schism, right. And then there's also this woke culture of spirituality wokeness, or awakening. But then there's also this idea to rain, you know, just kind of bear with me, I so I hate the idea that like, you know, now we say, you know, awakening or something like that it gets kind of tied in, it's tied into that now we got to disassociate from like, kind of the headlines in the media to just to discern that what we're talking about here is like a spiritual awakening, or awakening, not even a spiritual awakening, awakening to the greatness of who you are waking up.

Raine Dalrymple 26:03 I really like that. Yeah, right. That's more accurate

Brandon Handley 26:06 wakening to who you are, and, and, and accepting that. But again, so this is something that you are facilitating, which is awesome, right? This is something you're facilitating through your book and your courses, let's talk a little bit about, you know, how you came to, you know, how you came up with the title of your book? And, you know, also, why now, why you thought those types of things right, so, how did you know what, what made you decide that it was time to start writing? And?

Raine Dalrymple 26:41 Well, it's kind of a funny story, because I actually started the book, probably, oh, probably about nine years ago. And it's probably To be honest, it was probably more than that. So what happened was bachlin, you know, we first had computers, and they were like, the dinosaur computers. I had been, you know, typing it up on there. And I had given a copy to my Google my Google room, I met one of my mentors. And I said here, you know, like, it was like, maybe a chapter there. And I said, you know, can you give it a read and see what you think of it? And like, not too soon after that my computer crashed, and I lost everything. Right? So I thought, Well, okay, no problem. Like I first I was really upsetting. And I gave him a copy, I'll give them a call. And I'll, well, just what he lost it. And I was just like, beside myself, because I thought, What am I going to do now? Like, how am I going to get those words back. So you know, I sat down and kind of tried to recall what I could. And then I had taken on, I had moved to a different province and I had taken on working two jobs for quite a number of years, I did that often on, you know, working two and three jobs. And so I didn't, I didn't have time to work on it. So I put it up on the shelf. And then when I did finally pull it out, again, that would have probably been about six years ago, and just kind of jotted some things down. And then really seriously, two years ago, sat down in the winter and just did a whole pile of writing, then picked it up just a little over a year ago. So you know, just before all this madness started happening, I thought, you know what, I've got to get this done, something was just pressing me, I've got to get this done, I've got it, you know, whatever happens, I've got to get it done. So I too, have found it very intriguing about the timing, because it's just so relevant to what's going on right now. And I think more than anything, you know, you speak to, you know, the reality piece and the spiritual piece. And really, the book is about bridging those two together, you know, because we do need, just like both sides of our brain, we've got the logical side and we've got the creative side, we need the two to converge to function, you know, in, in a, an optimum fashion, right. So, you know, bringing, bringing those two elements together. And again, it's it's like you talk about it's we are all unique, and each person through these experiences through the growth through the transformation, you know, through understanding what their limitations and their barriers and their blocks are. And the personal development growth that they go through is what is helping them to be to become a much better person happier for themselves and within themselves because a lot of stuff happens in life. We've got relationship stuff with family members and exes and you know, jobs you know, job loss and loss of, you know, grief and loss of People in our lives and pets that we've lost and all of those things that happen that really pound on our, our soul self, and really cause us to lose that fire inside of us and that hope. And that faith, like on the cover of my book, I say hope where there is no way make away. Right. And that's what I want people to learn is that, you know, it doesn't mean we're going to be successful at everything we tried. But the fact that we're taking those steps forward, and we're moving forward in that tenacity, and determination, and perseverance, those are the things that help us to create a much better person, and a much happier person. Because now we can say, you know, you know, I did this, I, I wanted to learn how to play squash or I wanted to learn how to canoe or I wanted to, you know, get on a team and learn how to, you know, and be involved in racing, you know, kayak racing, whatever it is. Just throwing some examples, though, you know, work so, right,

Brandon Handley 31:07 because I think that,

Unknown Speaker 31:10 you know, we leave,

Brandon Handley 31:12 we leave ourselves for too long, and then we get back to ourselves and like, I would love to go do this, but, or, I'd love this, but we get lazy. Yeah. Or we say, All right, I'll give it a shot. And then, you know, when we find that we're able to accomplish that thing for me, for example, it was going to do a triathlon. Right? Like, I was like, You know what, I'm gonna give it a shot. I'm just gonna, you know, we're gonna go do a triathlon, and yeah, and rain. I was not an active guy was not right. I was actually I was not an active guys. So it took a little bit of training a little bit of time. And I went, I did it. And I was like,

Unknown Speaker 31:53 wow,

Brandon Handley 31:55 you know, pretty good. And I'll do another one. So I did a couple more. Right. And so having that experience of this thing that I never thought I saw myself doing, and then just getting up and going and doing it. And it wasn't even hard, per se, right. Like, I mean, right. But I was wore out, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't hard. You just it just took going and doing it. Right. And working towards it. And and, and this, I think I think I think that one of the things that's great is that if you work towards it without like this imminent pressure on yourself to succeed, just to go do it, right, just to go do it. Yeah, is enough.

Raine Dalrymple 32:35 Yeah, you can't be active in the present moment, right. So you were you made a decision in that present moment. Instead of Couch Surfing for the night, watching another movie for the seventh night in a row, you're gonna get it on your own, you're gonna do it,

Brandon Handley 32:49 I binge, my fair share of Netflix, I know, I'm just like everybody else out there. But there are certain things that I'll get up and I'll go to just a little bit differently, that gives me a sense of purpose, or a sense of contribution to the larger part of ourselves, like you were talking about, like where our body and our spirit and we need both, I think the one thing that gets the most neglect is our spiritual self, which I want to have to go ahead and assert is the larger part of our being

Raine Dalrymple 33:20 well, and they're all interconnected. So you take your example. You said when you were done? Yeah, it was it was a little bit of hard work, but it wasn't like so hard that you couldn't do it. And you actually felt really good after you, you know, those, you were alive, you felt alive, you were in that present moment, and you showed yourself with determination and commitment, you can do it. So that that really it can feed the ego but in a positive way. Right? It but it fed that that whole aspect of who you were, and you looked at yourself, and you went, Wow, I did that. Right. I actually accomplished it. And it just, it gives us a better sense of who we are, and that we can achieve anything that we set our minds to. It's just to follow through.

Brandon Handley 34:12 Right, right. Yeah, it's pretty much just a follow through and just just to go do it. So you know, you've got storytelling and some practical thoughts and some other you know, awesome stories inside of sight Beyond Sight. You're gonna walk people through you, you're gonna walk the reader through some journeys and some specific stories that will help them kind of come alive and recognize that they too, absolutely have what you're calling the threefold flame within them, right. And then you you you can get the book and then you also offer a couple different courses, right? You got a couple different programs, and if I'm not mistaken, is it the eight you they Key keys to consciousness consciousness is that going to be the one that kind of directly relates to sight Beyond Sight?

Raine Dalrymple 35:06 to quite a bit, a quite a number of the courses that are offered are all based on the keys to consciousness, because really what we're talking about is everything that we're talking about is is, you know, finding, finding who out who we are. Our own uniqueness. Core, for example, is chapter six, I believe five or six, I think it's five. You know, it talks about, you know, nutrition and, and health and well being even myself, like, I have been so negligent with doing the, the exercise lately, the yoga isn't happening, you know, nearly as often as it should. So I joined yesterday, actually, you know, a mentor that's running a program for about 30 of us online. And so now, you know, I've got that commitment, right, the commitment to just as you committed to doing the triathlon, about that commitment, now, I'm committed, right, I've talked to him, I'm signed up, and now I'm committed. So you know, you know, at the end of two weeks, I mean, I'm going to feel better about myself, I'm going to feel happy that I contributed that time, to my physical well being and, you know, I can incorporate, you know, smoothies, and, you know, so we do as people, we need the interaction, you know, we're finding that out big time in this last year, that we need that interaction with people, we need to be interactive. So I have many programs actually, that that I run. And if people want to connect with them, all they have to do is go to my website site, be on site.org. And I'll, you know, I'm just starting to upload those on to there's a couple on there now, but I'm just starting to upload those onto the website. so that people can, you know, whatever, whatever they need, they can get one on one coaching and support with me. Because truly, we are all so unique, that it's I really like to I do really like to have like a free discovery session with with everyone that calls or contacts me, you know, via email, because I want to know where they're coming from and what they need, there's no sense of me sitting and spilling out a bunch of stuff that, you know, are my suggestions if it's not going to help them. So what I do is I combine that intuitive piece. So you know, I do do the angel card readings, but I also Intuit I just grabbed it from the, you know, my guides and walk them through, you know, interact with them, to find out what it is they need, you know, some people come to me wanting to understand, you know, their past, they want to understand what they're going through now. And they also want to understand what can they do going into the future. So that's also, you know, a piece of that intuition that happens. So it's just really a lot of like, you know, coaching, support, you know, supporting people in their own walk and in their journey. And, you know, I also, you know, I'll be doing artwork, you know, creative art, you know, in zoos, and, you know, on lives, and all that kind of stuff, you know, I'm partner partnering with some other people, so that we can kind of give people a variety of services. So it's, it's really up to each individual, all they have to do is reach out to me, and then you know, we can take it from there we can we can grow from that point.

Brandon Handley 38:36 Well, that's awesome. Right? So I mean, you have a lot of different options available for someone. So if I, you know, so my, my pathway to you could be could look like this, where I pick up the book, right? I read the book, and I find that it strikes a chord with me, right? I said, you know, rain, she's got it nailed down, this is me to a tee, gotten everything, gotten everything just right. And then I'm like, Alright, well, I do want to know more, but I'm not quite ready to commit to a program or anything just yet. So I can come over to your site. And when I'm at your site, I can see over here, you've got your eight keys to consciousness, which you're telling me it sounds like it's kind of like a foundational course. Right? All the stuff that kind of we're talking about here. So yeah,

Raine Dalrymple 39:23 like, you know, if some, when someone picks up the book and reads it at the end of each chapter, there's a practical buoyancy section where there's three to do tips. So it's kind of a nice way to for them to segue into you know, taking action. You know, having running a salt bath and putting on some music there, you know, just simple tips. You know, doing a collage, you know, grabbing some scrap paper, you know, magazines around the house and creating a collage. You know, people are welcome to do that on their own right because these are just some practical tips that they can incorporate in Your own personal growth, right?

Brandon Handley 40:02 When was so just I mean, share with me a little bit of why I might want to do you know, a clause. And how's that gonna? What are some of the benefits I'm gonna get from that?

Raine Dalrymple 40:15 Well, let's just say, you know, right now a person is not happy in what they're doing for work, they're, you know, they're, they're not happy going to work every day, they're really actually quite miserable, they don't enjoy getting up in the morning, or you have someone who you know, is laid off right now. And they really, they really don't know what direction to go in. So we know we can go online, you can go and see an employment counselor, and you can do these tests that kind of point you in the right direction. Or maybe you should be going to school for carpentry for the next, you know, number of years. Or maybe you could do this, or maybe you could do that. But there's also this creative aspect that you can tap into. So you know, you get out a gripping piece of paper, and you grab a bunch of magazines, and and you just start looking through them, you start cutting out pictures that speak to you. And then when you go to put your collage together, you know, you're gluing pictures, let's just say, you know, I remember when I did mine, many years ago, I started noticing I was cutting out a lot of fashion, like a lot of women wearing like the big hats and Paris and, and you know, the really nice fashions. And when I got done, I thought wow, you know what, I guess it's time for me to, to clean out my wardrobe and get rid of some stuff, and start incorporating some of these stylish new outfits into my closet, right. And that gave me a sense of confidence of self confidence. And I felt, you know, happy to get dressed up. And you know, where are the big earrings, you remember those days, the big earrings and, you know, the blue eyeshadow and whatever, whatever it was, but you know, it made me feel good, right. And it's it helped me to see that we can create our image, we can change our image at any time, we can wear the suit and tie we can wear the hippie pants, we can we can be whoever it is that we choose to be. And we can change that that image. Right? So it's all about growth. It's all about that. That internal growth, right. And when you look on this clause, you can see, wow, you know, maybe maybe someone who was interested in carpentry didn't realize they were but here, they were cutting out all kinds of decks that you could build for the summer and, you know, these like extended rooms on people's houses. And they're like, wow, like, I really, I might like, you know, doing something like that maybe I should look into, you know, being an apprentice in carpentry, right? So it just opens our eyes, it opens our eyes to other possibilities.

Brandon Handley 42:58 I like it, right? So it gives you the opportunity to kind of step away from the business of life. Kind of just open yourself up to anything really like if you as long as you've got like a collection of magazines, you just kind of you fan through it and pick out kind of whatever is stimulating you, right? And then and then you can kind of see down there we can call it like divine guidance if we want or just call it like a almost like a Ouija board except for like what you're calling forth. It's just like, what's what's piquing my interest these days where, you know, where should I be spending more of my attention, and then you you kind of see this picture unfold in front of you. And you could, you know, almost take a look at that as a divination tool, right?

Raine Dalrymple 43:50 Yeah, exactly.

Brandon Handley 43:51 So So, ya know, it's interesting, if

Raine Dalrymple 43:52 you don't have a bunch of magazines around, you can, you know, because we're also tech savvy, you know, to a point, you can go online and you can just start pulling pictures, you know, off, you know, pixels and, and that kind of gives you an indication as well, you know, create a collage on your on your computer, right. So there's a lot of different ways we can do it. Yeah,

Brandon Handley 44:13 I love that. So there's a couple nice examples where somebody could actually just kind of go out there and do that today if they wanted to. So I love being able to share that. Another one that you've got another one of your courses here is the business business savvy empath. You know, talk to us a little bit about that because I think that, you know, that's that's a place where you know, a lot of people are in business, right. But not everyone in business is a you know, has empathy and or vice versa. The empath may be like, well, I don't want to be in a business setting because they're all gonna they're gonna they're gonna harsh my mellow. Right, right.

Raine Dalrymple 44:47 Well, the business of empath is just about how can I hack? How can I hack my imagination and my spirit connection, to better understand how I can run my business in a productive way. You know, it's, it's not only a logical, but it's a creative again, those two, two facets coming together to help a person understand, you know, back in the day, you know, they talked about you know, when you're climbing the corporate ladder, you know, in the, you know, there's a lot of, you know, mean stuff that goes on when when that sort of things happens, you know, you're stepping on people's toes and that sort of thing. And when we, when we tap into, and when we're showing how to tap into our own unique nature of consciousness, we realize there's room for everybody, there's room for everybody to be successful, whether it's in, you know, a corporate company, or whether we're running our own business. And, you know, it may get to a point where you are in the corporate world, which many people have been, and they've left that corporate world to branch off and run their own business. And so it's just really tools and techniques of a spiritual nature as well as the logical nature that we look at, on how can we tap into what can best guide us to being successful? You know, in our, in our, in our genre of what we're doing? Do we have blocks there? Do we have money blocks? Do we have? Are we do we have a fear of success, right? versus the fear of fear of failure. So all of those things play play into that, right? And just helping a person to, to personally develop themselves, which obviously affects our business world, right? Because, you know, it's about walking, walking the talk, right? So whatever we're doing in our personal world, you know, for sleeping until noon, and, and that's okay, if that's your schedule, some people are just not morning people, and they want to sleep until noon. And then they're up till midnight, running their business, because of the nature of it. So it's also coming to understand what is my schedule? What do you know? What, what is conducive for me? You know, so that's just a practical way of looking at it. Right? And, and just also saying, Okay, well, if I want to, you know, I want to get up at six or 7am and beat beat the mad rush, and I want to get out knock on business doors, than I have to get up. You don't have to get up at seven. So there's, it's just a lot of, basically, that course, is converging the two together to help it work for you.

Brandon Handley 47:43 think that that's a that's a great one right? For especially, especially new, as we talked about earlier is, you know, once you once you kind of hit that spiritual high, it's really hard to come back down, right, and then you know, so sounds to me, like this would be something that would help somebody that's had a spiritual high as like, Alright, let's get to you know, reintegrated. Let's take some of what you're learning here of what you're feeling and help you to integrate that into your, your daily work life. Yes, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And that's, that's huge. Because I don't think there's a whole lot of that out there. So thank you for you know, being any one of the people that's trying to, to get people to recognize that in themselves

Raine Dalrymple 48:29 for that pass. Yeah, help

Unknown Speaker 48:32 them to clean it up.

Raine Dalrymple 48:33 I mean, we know that we know it's changing, you know, we know that the dynamics of work are changing. And the numbers of people working online has massively increased, and it will continue to grow. So, you know, some people don't even know what they want to do yet. So you know, connecting with me and us just, you know, hashing over things and, you know, doing some strategizing and incorporating that intuition that can help to lead them into and onto a path that would be productive and satisfying for them to experience fulfilling right are all looking for fulfillment

Brandon Handley 49:17 that's the gist of all this right the gist of the podcast is that and of itself, right? How do you again take your you know, your spiritual self or integrated spirituality, material, you know, all of it for a more fulfilling life? Right? And that's, you know, so that sounds like what your sounds like what you're sharing out there as well and trying to get you know, people woken to the you know, again, waking to the the greatness that they have within or at least to

Raine Dalrymple 49:49 be aware of it at least,

Brandon Handley 49:51 you know, recognizing the the light within the passion within the whatever, you know, whatever gets you up. Yeah, right.

Raine Dalrymple 49:59 Ever is gonna ignite All

Brandon Handley 50:00 right, ignite you and then you know, kind of kind of continue to fan that flame in, I would imagine a controlled way, right? In a way that says, Let's, let's direct us towards a positive outcome, and a good way for you to go forward, right? Because I think that we see a lot of that too. Where again, you get so high, you never come back down, right. And you know, you're not able to apply that, bring it back down and share it with the rest of world and it gets kind of lost in the ether. Right? So thank you for THANK YOU FOR YOU KNOW, writing the book, thank you for creating these courses. Thank you so much for coming on the podcast, say to share, you know, what it is that you're creating and bringing into the world today? Where, where should I send people to connect with you Ray?

Raine Dalrymple 50:48 Well, obviously, they can go to the website sight beyond sight.org, they can email me at sight Beyond Sight 222, at gmail.com, they can also give me a call or shoot me a text at 306-980-7758. Any of those, any of those ways that they want to reach out is fine. I do have some books left not many now from the pre sale package I bought, and I'll be ordering more of the books so they can get the book directly through me. So all they have to do is message me and I can get it out to them right away. And they can also find it through freeze and press the freeze and press bookstore. And also through Amazon. My understanding Amazon has the price marked up a bit. But $8 I think so whatever, you know, whatever way that they, you know, see fit to, to order it, they can also get the E book through me directly. And if they do decide to sign up for, you know, the membership packages that I have the monthly membership packages, which are basically a $120 package for 4997. They can get the book free. I've done a lot of incentives out there.

Brandon Handley 52:05 Yeah. Sounds like it sounds like you've got a lot to offer. And, you know, for anybody that's listening in today. Listen, I think that you know, Ryan's got some really great materials out there that are really going to help you to open up to yourself and then also be able to apply it to wherever it is that you're guided to.

Raine Dalrymple 52:25 Yeah, thanks so much for having me, Brandon. I really enjoyed it.

Brandon Handley 52:28 Absolutely. Happy to have you on all right.

Brandon Handley 0:00 All right, well, let's get on that. And 54321

Unknown Speaker 0:07 Hey, there's

Brandon Handley 0:07 spiritual dope. I'm on today with Dr. Craig. He right. He's a native of Baltimore, Maryland, where he studied religion and philosophy in his youth. As a member of the Baltimore ethical society. He holds degrees in psychology, and metaphysics. He's an ordained metaphysical minister and a certified metaphysical practitioner, we're going to talk a little bit about a story is how you got there. So I'm gonna leave that out. But one of the big things that we're gonna be talking about is numerology kind of how you went public with your story, you know, the radio show that you were on for quite some time. And just unless we're gonna talk about, you know, the, the journey. So Dr. Craig Wright, thank you so much for being on here today, how I like to start these off is with the idea that you and I are here, connecting, and sources, you know, kind of put us in this time in this place in this space, so that a message can flow through you to somebody in the audience today. What does that message just come through, you

Unknown Speaker 1:12 know, that message would be, each of us has a contract with our Creator with source doesn't matter what name you use, God has 1000s of names depending on the culture you're from. But each of us has a contract with source, and that we are giving gifts. And we make a promise, the contract has come out composed of gifts that we received, and a promise that we make, and that information is is available, because it shows up in the numbers and our birthday, in the letters in our lay.

Brandon Handley 1:53 That's powerful. So it's interesting to me. And of course, the first thing that comes to my mind is we were talking you know, we connected online and you mentioned like this show to be on the show. And one of the first things that kind of comes into my mind though about numerology that i i think that you know, some of the naysayers, right would say, Well, if it's all in the numbers, is it all predetermined? Right, or, you know, what happens after? You know, you give me the some numbers? Is it fatalistic? Is it something else?

Unknown Speaker 2:30 Well, no numerology does not rob us of our free will. For example, if you're born on the first of any month, one of your gifts is leadership. Everybody knows that number one. So you could be an engineer, you could be a pilot, you could be a fashion designer. But whatever you decide to be using your free will, you're going to be the cutting edge, and you're going to be the best at it. So the number one will reveal your creativity that you're here to be an originator, not an imitator, you're here to lead not to follow. And more than likely, if you're born on the first 10th 19th or 28th of any month, you're going to have opportunities to become self employed. Those are the number ones. If I may, at this point, it's important that we realize there's a difference between figures and numbers. If I hold up a pin, and I say I have one pin, that would be a quantity. In this case, number one, this is a figure a quantity. But if I look a little closer, and I say big pins are number one. Now I'm no longer talking about a quantity, but a quality, at least in my opinion of being the best. So everybody knows what it means to be numero uno, but every number has a meaning or every number reveals a spiritual quality, a spiritual quality. So getting back to your question. No, it's not fatalistic. For example, it'll tell you, hey, it's springtime, time to plant but you can plant that is tomatoes, okra, corn, whatever you choose. But you don't want to plant in January. What is freezing? So that's the benefit of numerology.

Brandon Handley 4:25 I gotcha. I gotcha. That makes sense. So I want to I definitely want to talk a little bit about your journey into this space. You know, it kind of happened, right? You got a new tragic death of a friend, your best man for your wedding, if I recall correctly. Yeah. And and yeah, let's just talk about an area. You know, let's talk about kind of how that hits you. And what you did, how that how that kind of spurned your journey.

Unknown Speaker 4:54 That was my that was my wake up call, if you will, for my call. to spirituality. I showed a propensity for math and science when in seventh grade, my parents decided they were going to have an engineer in the fam. My mother was a schoolteacher. So I was never out of school, math, science, every program, summer school, anything having to do with math and science. I was there. I was preparing to become a jet pilot. I wanted to fly jets with the Navy. By the seventh grade, I knew every jet they own. I knew what what armament they had, what caliber machine guns, they had, oh, I was prepared to become a technocrat. I didn't I wasn't a believer. At that time. If you couldn't measure it, quantify it. I was able to, to we say figures, not numbers at that. But when my best friend was from a drug overdose, Brandon and I didn't even know he was using. So they told me a lot about myself. I was too self absorbed. I wasn't paying attention to anything around me. And it also told me that it started my search for life, I began to ask those tough questions. Why am I here? What's the meaning of life is going to be this arbitrary? Take me now I don't want this pain anymore. And I gotta tell you, that happened when I was 21 years old. And I've never really had a allow myself to get that close to another individual since then. But what did happen was, I begin to pray for the very first time, and I begin to ask the universe, why am I here? What's the meaning of life? And the answer came back to me in a form that I would understand. I just was in a state of of yearning and wanting to know, and I heard a song that was on our radios, it was called in search of the Third Eye by a man who just play some of his music won won the Super Bowl this year. Roy airs. So this song mystify me search for the third eye, what's that all about? The lyrics were sequence of numbers can be found secrets of wisdom can be found. So this was before Amazon and Google, it took me two years to get a copy of that book. After both are bought the album, read the cover, took me two years to get the book. But once I got my hands on it, it was called in search of the Third Eye by various family order. And this was a book the artists read, who compose the song. So I'm reading the book now, on one from the song to the artists to the book, in the book was talking about the secrets of numbers. And I discovered, I was a number seven. And that the purpose of my life was to study the meaning of life and share it with others. I was like, oh, my goodness, that's what I'm doing. So I realized that there is no greater love that a friend has this is how I rationalized his passing. Because Scripture says there's no greater love than a friend later in his life. So I said, Okay, I'm gonna change because of his passing. And I started going to the Library of Congress, reading everything I could get my hands on, about the sequence of numbers. Now you can go to the library and find 20 books on the shelf. There's even a there's even a numerologist for Dummies. But back in 1972, if you want to read about numerology, you had to go to the Library of Congress and study the journeys of Protagoras, how he went to the Mystery Schools in Egypt and study with the Masters there, who taught using the oral tradition. And then he came back and shared what he learned. And the Greeks became famous.

Brandon Handley 8:56 And I love that as it's, um, you know, one of the one of the quotes that you one of the things you're referencing already was something that I believe you found from Pythagoras, right? was the idea that there's a difference between figures and numbers, right? Yes.

Unknown Speaker 9:12 And

Brandon Handley 9:14 I know you've already kind of illustrated so yeah, absolutely. Right right now on touch touch of the finger, you know, you know, you sent me your book and an email right, I was able to read like numerology information, touch of a finger. I can go to Amazon and I've got something on Kindle instantaneously. Yes, I go download like these great, you know, these great mysteries and, you know, moments as soon as soon as it comes to my mind, but what I think is interesting so far, right? Is that here's this, you know, arbitrary song that plays, right, this strikes a chord for you, and sets you on your path.

Unknown Speaker 9:54 Yeah, amazing, right? sequence of numbers. This The only way I could have, I could have even accepted the concept that there was a higher being and that it was influenced my life in any way. And it was a tremendous wake up call, you know, and it came to me, not from some guy up on the pulpit in a in a yellow suit. Gallery, right. It came to me through my own research. In a call a discovery, no one else knew what I was doing, or what I was, when I was pursuing. It spoke to me, it fed me in a manner that I was ready to receive through numbers. It was the only way in for me.

Brandon Handley 10:49 Yeah, no doubt, no doubt, right? No, I also gotta imagine like Baltimore. You grew up in Baltimore. Was it the city proper? Or was it the suburbs? Yeah, I

Unknown Speaker 11:00 grew up in Baltimore City.

Brandon Handley 11:01 Yeah, yes. I mean, you know, city city proper. It's no doubt like, especially in that time to that. It's really a good idea to run around and talk about being spiritual, right? Especially as a male, right, and it's right, and in that city environment. And then, you know, the scientist, you're not even just spirituality or things, you know, easy. Or, then now you're throwing in numerology tonight, you're like, Well, does not just spiritual, but like, let's, let's, let's do numbers, too, right. And I think that that can be, you know, that can that can throw people off to I imagine, just

Unknown Speaker 11:39 did

Brandon Handley 11:40 levels of acceptance, right, you know, what, what people are willing to accept? And and, you know, so

Unknown Speaker 11:46 very true. That's very true.

Brandon Handley 11:48 So when did you become a pilot?

Unknown Speaker 11:53 No, after my, my discovery, after my friend passed, and I discovered numerology, I became my first client. And I began to, instead of going to the Air Force is setting engineering, I went to seminary, I went to the seminary. I thought that was my calling. But what happened was, once I got into seminary, I discovered, there really wasn't a search for God there. They had already done the surgeon and everything figured out, they wanted to make sure you were saying the right things before you could get their degree.

Brandon Handley 12:34 Yeah, that's I think that's the challenge to have spirituality slash religion, right. I mean, that's, I think, one of the one of the reasons for spiritual dope, right, the podcasts? Because, like, let's, let's have a conversation about spirituality that isn't previously dictated to us as whether or not this is acceptable or not. Right. Exactly. And so you found you found that they were just trying to dictate to you, you know, here's the right way to say it. Right. Is that is that kind of what exactly,

Unknown Speaker 13:05 that's exactly right. I was getting good grades, because, technically, my, my writing skills and my, my research was spot on, they, they could not deny what I was saying, I was finding evidence of reincarnation, I was finding evidence of numerology how every time the number 40 shows up, for stands for order, and zero is a symbol for God. So every time a number 40 show up, God was establishing a new order, 40 days and 40 nights of rain, 40 years of wandering in the desert. And each time that number precipitated a tick or change, that God was bringing a new order, so that I was getting good grades, but I was very uncomfortable there. Because it was like swimming upstream. So

Brandon Handley 13:56 one second real quick there, cuz I've been, I've been on the number 40 for like, years now. I'm like, what, because it's always showing up, just like he said, I'm like, there's gotta be something, right. Like, there's got to be something because there's 40 days, 40 nights, there's, you know, the, the whatever, but I also call it to age, like, when we turn 40 like, there's a massive shift, right? Like, you know, there's a massive shift and kind of who, you know, a lot of us are and and i think that you know, 40 is illustrated in my take on 40 has always been like, you know, these are the signals like it doesn't always have to be the ages and years but also kind of what you know what you're saying there's numerology, numerology there, but in my mind the most well, that's just like the signal like age 40. Like, you know, you're gonna ask, I'm really serious, right? Yeah, something's gonna change in 40 days and 40 nights, you know, be ready, you know. So that's really interesting. Thanks for thanks for sharing that. It's been on my mind for literally a few years now. So thank you.

Unknown Speaker 15:00 So my body was I called a picture. That's right. That's spirit, isn't it? That's it. That's it. So for us, they asked for order. If you think in terms of Adam being one is being too with one or two fit together, there's tears, there's three, right? So you can't have a kid crawling around. So you put them inside the playpen, so forth sided figure. So you have some order you get your work done.

Unknown Speaker 15:24 is great.

Brandon Handley 15:25 Yeah, I love you know, so one of the things I love about, you know, finding and establishing a pattern order, and you're doing it with like numbers, you you, you begin to, you begin to apply it anywhere, right, you get a you get a certain kind of set of knowledge, and now you're able to apply it and in so many different facets, that without any of that knowledge, you can't, right. So you know, that's

Unknown Speaker 15:48 exactly right. Yeah, especially that number for the 40 minutes, when it comes to a home, fixing, mending and repairing. So whenever my clients contact me with an address, like 2102, number 1921, apartment B, I always tell them to avoid a house with the number four, unless they're prepared to do a lot of work on it. And a lot of renovating it, keeping it a

Brandon Handley 16:16 you know, keeping it a casino because it's a good one to keep in mind as I'm in moving to my next place here shortly. So I'll keep in mind that to keep the number four out of the equation. For sure. So, you, you know, you took this kind of, um, you know, even at the age of 21, coming out of Baltimore, young excited, man, I gotta imagine, like, you know, even spirituality, right, like, that's still tough grab. And so you follow through seminary and into what just trying to follow the journey?

Unknown Speaker 16:51 Well, seminary didn't work out too well, for me, I just, I was just there one semester kereta a 3.7. But um, after that, I started going to the Library of Congress and studying on my own, studying the information that I was being called to. It was just fascinating. He was like, it was food it was, it was the answer. It was what I was looking at before. And it was telling me all the questions I had while I was here, what I was supposed to do, and I was studying it and learning from it. And after a while I started getting clues from source to share. I will be in a checkout line. And I will see someone's name on their on their name tag. And I will hear information. If I read in a computer, I will hear information about I can't hear you information about it. I'm gonna share a little later, but this is how it started to happen. And and I wouldn't, I didn't know what it was, I was afraid. So literally, I heard a voice tell me you have the gift of discernment do not wish I had to go look it up. I didn't know what this tournament meant. So I had to go look that up and say, Okay, I'm going to be getting some information from from what I've been studying now. Now I've reached a certain level, now the university is going to start using me. So my heart's pounding a little heavier. Yeah, because it's not only about me, I'm being asked to share information. So eventually build up enough confidence to start doing that. I would tell someone Whoa, I know, you've been waiting for money a long time it's gonna be it's gonna be in your mailbox. You know, things like that, you know, in the checkout line, or whatever, way fast so nobody would know who I was or anything like that. But I had to come back the next day was to buy some milk, but it was Hey, how did you know that? You arrived I was there. So that's how the birth started getting about this guy knows about now but so people started contacting me. And I didn't I didn't know what to do. I didn't have any services, anything like that. I just share information with you. So

Brandon Handley 18:54 so you know that two things. Two things there right? Well for I love the idea, right? Hey, universe is gonna start using me right? Like I mean, just so you set yourself up as a as a vessel, right? You set yourself up as a conduit and we talk a lot about like, you know, receiving we talk a lot about tuning in and all that kind of thing, but it sounds to me like you just you know you you allowed right and and you let it he let it coarser you so I think that's pretty cool. And you know, second part, like you're talking about right now, just thinking you didn't we didn't have what we've got right now. You couldn't you know, your credit, you couldn't go back there and spin out spiritual dope back then. Right? Because you had like a street corner like maybe unspiritual dope was that corner that block, you know, so? Yeah, tell me a little more about the time.

Unknown Speaker 19:52 So I'm continuing to listen to the radio station. It was it was a College Station Morgan State University. Radio where I heard the song in search of the third. So I'm continuing to listen to the station. And a lady comes on the station a Reverend Hazel caselle. And she has a radio show. So he is teaching classes about spirituality. I said, Oh, I needed to learn some more about this. So I went to visit her. And I'm talking to her about a class. So I'm getting ready to leave her office. And she says, aren't you going to tell me about your gift? I didn't say anything to this lady about numerology or any special gift. But she has psychic abilities. And she says, I'm seeing numbers around you. You haven't said anything to me about it. So I gradually came back to the opposite said to and I started sharing with her what it happened, what my experiences was. So see if I knew her or her radio show. So okay, I'll come on your show talk about numbers. So people calling in giving their name and their birthday, I'm doing readings over the over the over the air. And at the end of the show, she gives out my phone number. Well, I guess I was kind of naive. Now I expect to give out my number and my website. But not this first show. I'm just sharing my gifts. And she gave out my number brand. And people started calling me my phone off the hook. I had to go back home and create services. Well, this will be a reading and I'll call this a forecast and to meet the demand that that that people wanted to know. And that's how I got started. Yay, a numerologist I did not plan it. I had never heard of it. It just happened and I really feel like it was my calling. And and that is why I'm here to be of service to God to share information about about these numbers man is so fascinating. And so complex yet it's it's all around us. Right? It's like we come with a owner's manual. Like when you buy you buy a new gift or you get a any type of product. You open it up it says here's the owner's manual read this first name on our birthday. We're totally blind to it, you know? Sure.

Brandon Handley 22:05 No, no, it's Yeah, that's you know, he was always walk around be like, well, we didn't come with an owner's manual. Now you're telling us that we do. So they have to dig into that. Right? Well, I was asked to dig into that. So, you know, you've been able to sustain through numerology is my question, then, you know, have you been able to kind of like make make make your living out of out of this practice?

Unknown Speaker 22:30 It's interesting. It started off there were no, okay. No, it was a labor of love. Like I said, I didn't reach out to start a business. It was only people contacting me for my services, and my hallways was was doing something else with this was sort of like a vocation. But as time has gone on, when I was 21, I eventually I ended up having a show on sa radio show that I would say radio station, I was listening to doing a numerology report. So over time, I would give classes announced workshops, nobody would show up. Nobody will show relevance place. Zero. But now, yes, workshops. been teaching at the local community college. One of the people heard my show in a radio was a program director at a community college in Baltimore County in the asked me to create a curriculum to teach numerology and make it available. That's true. Things have really changed his math, t 72.

Brandon Handley 23:49 A couple things, a couple things have changed, for sure. Things have changed.

Unknown Speaker 23:57 I love how you say things like that. I told you, I was picking up things for you too. And what I picking up is global, a global impact. That's what I'm picking out that. I don't know if you can translate your show into other languages. But I'm picking up your impact is is going to be global. And people from different cultures from all around the world are going to start tuning in to your show. And and what you write new habits. I know you didn't tell me you were an author or writer. But I'm showing up and picking up your writer is something you write has a potential to go to the big screen.

Brandon Handley 24:36 Mm hmm. Well, I don't know what I'd write that would go to the big screen. But you know, there's still plenty of time. You know, I love the idea though. And thanks, man. It's really interesting. I was just talking to talking to somebody this weekend in New Zealand to get connected with somebody else who's you know, got some global initiatives and here's the thing Being able to have that conversation. So, you know, yeah, like, I got like little goose bumps and like, my hair is rising up over here. So on the different cultures, right, that's what this is about. It's, it's, it's not about, um, it is about is exactly what it's about those different cultures if you look at if you look at the graphics for spiritual dope, you see, you know, Jesus figure there you see Buddha there, and my original one had a, you know, Shiva on there, right. So it's just kind of like, you know, we're all saying the same things we've all got, you know, how do we light this fear up within us? How do we how do we, how do we honor it? Right? I think that's one of the first how do we recognize it? How do we honor it and how do we allow for it to bloom right, what do we do to cultivate ourselves? Right and and nurture that and and share it, but now so so thanks, man. That's it. So is that is that done through numbers or just straight vibing?

Unknown Speaker 26:02 Well, I think straight vibing led me to numerology. I'm listening to the song doing the research on pursuing holding a my consciousness because I believe the mind is so opposed to see. And what we're co creators with the universe. sparks from the big flame, if you will. And by holding it in my mind, it just manifested that book. That book showed up in a bookstore in house and there was only a business for a year and a half.

Unknown Speaker 26:32 That's crazy.

Unknown Speaker 26:34 Okay, universe put that stood there for me, right. But yeah, I think i vi, to numerology, but after that, I just began to study it and apply my skills, my technical abilities. So there's so much they give me their birthday. And I can edit out real quickly, because I'm used to formulas and things like that. So math does math doesn't frighten me. So I can look at an a tag editor, convert the letters to numbers and give someone a reading within seconds just because of you know, the, the pathways, the mental pathways I created by studying math and science. I didn't know I'd be applying it this way. Yeah. Yeah.

Brandon Handley 27:19 You never you never know how it's gonna strike. Right? So real. If this is okay, you know, so it's my wife's birthday. Next week. Can we can we do her? Do her numbers? Yeah. So. So what do you need the whole year, month, date and year? So March 16 1974.

Unknown Speaker 27:43 Okay, Okay, awesome. Eat number in the birthday represents a gift. Okay. Then if you add it all up, you have like the ultimate gift. So I like to think of it as a contract with creator in these closets. The first clause is the number three. And the three is a symbol for expression, and you singing, painting, dancing, writing, anything artistic, decorative, colorful, is also a symbol for abundance, because the story of the Christ is about the number three, he was taught by three wise men. And there's a lot of other references, but we know he arose on the third day. That's Easter, I left a lot of about for the sake of time. But when asked Massa, why are you here, he says, I'm here to have life and have it abundantly. So the three stands for abundance. So your wife gift is to always appear younger than she is. If he's in a room and children are there, they will be drawn to her like a magnet. She's extremely creative, in terms of her artistic talent and ability. And you may have channels getting a word and once he starts to communicate, because threes are expressive, okay. Now, I'm going to skip her day for a moment because her year is also a three. If you add one plus nine plus seven plus four, it adds up to 20 119 is 1074 is 1110 1011 is 21. Are you with me?

Unknown Speaker 29:25 Because I'm tracking?

Unknown Speaker 29:27 Absolutely Did you add two plus one, that's also with Ray. So he's got a double dose if everything that I shared with you about the number three, full abundance, social activity, mixing, working with children, being an artist creative, seeing the penny dancing, writing a double dose of that. Now her date of birth is a seven, one plus six is seven. That's the number of face. On the seventh day God rested. So as social as she is There's going to be times she's going to be by herself. It's almost like what happened? Did the cloud come over to set on? Where she go? Right? What what? Because it's the exact opposite of the number three, which makes her social. So her rhythm will be to introspect, and then to project to interest, fat, and then to project because the seven makes her a minister, does it matter? She goes to school, where's the row? Seven is the number of faith. So she's a mountain mover. Okay? She's a researcher. That's my number. The number seven so sees a researcher and analyst or thinker, does he take things at face value? Oh, she goes deep. She is the reason why you are walking that straight line. If I write about the man, Maria, number seven female, okay, you don't have to worry about being going astray or doing anything wrong, because she'll sense it before even comes to your mind. My wife was a number seven. So I can't even dream about doing anything. I mentioned you might be a writer, your wife is definitely around this. About the book, hobby. Okay? hobby, okay, this is your second letter as a two, oh is a six because the 51 five or six, that as the 14, a K is to the left of ladder. One plus one is two. So the word book vibrates to the 16. So when you see the 16 Not only is he a researcher, but she has the ability to communicate it. So she's writing has a potential to write lecture travel a share her expertise. I don't know what her expertise is, okay, numerology does it, box her in. But that seven tells me whatever she does, she's the expert, a people will seek her out for her expertise. It also tells me she's so creative. Her main challenge is to follow through. To follow through completing projects is going to be a task. Because her creativity, so delegating is important. Now let's add it all. Okay, so that those are the clauses in her contract. Craig, real quick,

Brandon Handley 32:32 I lost her picture. Can I get you to come back? Oh, sure. Sure. I

Unknown Speaker 32:36 don't know what happened here. These are the gifts that God gave her. Okay, that I just shared with you, the creativity, the mental ability to analyze. So if we add it all up, is three plus 16 is 90, which tells me as a numerologist. She left the house as a child, she got out of the house as fast as she could. It was quit out of there, man. And it was someone in their family who tried to keep their keeper under their thumb. But she said find them because that spot her originality and her leadership that brought it up. But I digress. If we add 19 to her a year, which is a 21 guess what 19 to 21 add up to Brandon

Brandon Handley 33:23

1. Is that right?

Unknown Speaker 33:28 42? The number 40 see

Unknown Speaker 33:31 that crazy number, right? Well,

Unknown Speaker 33:33 you're right, plus 16 plus 21. Three plus 16 plus 40. So your her death is the orderliness of God. So he embodies it to wherever she goes. That's the energy that she's taking with her. So people are going to call her mean stubborn and strict.

Brandon Handley 34:00 I mean, I don't know if they would say to her face,

Unknown Speaker 34:04 probably a bad idea.

Unknown Speaker 34:07 Also, as a number 40, when you guys have entertainer has gas, after they leave, you will find her going around the house, putting things back in their place where they belong. So orderliness is very important to the number 40. As his eyes are numbers, he's probably extremely good with numbers. Well, she

Brandon Handley 34:28 will tell you, she's not but most you probably, you know, it's one of those things right? It's what you tell yourself. It's what you tell yourself, right?

Unknown Speaker 34:36 That's the number four. The fourth book in scriptures is called numbers. So people four is always concerned with measurements and things like that. So you get involved with numbers when you do research and studies and things like that. So right. And I will also share with her that this year was as a 223 is going to be a year of said numbers. 1923 is 42. This is a number six year for her. And number six year, so she's going to have a chance to use her creative talents, skills and abilities this year, she couldn't have a chance to join with others in some goodwill projects, they're going to be reaching out for her to to work together in a goodwill project. And a lot of people do get a new home in a number six year, so the focus is on the home, and the six year domesticity the whole community, in your relationship

Brandon Handley 35:46 towards fun, right, that's a lot of fun. That's, that's great. So thanks. Thanks for doing that.

Unknown Speaker 35:50 It is a love vibration.

Brandon Handley 35:54 Well, that's awesome. So you know, so you kept at it, and you feel like, you know, what was it like, I guess and you know, kind of communicating this as your primary path to like your friends and family? And how long did it take you? So how long did it take you? You know, to? To even feel confident to do that? And were you scared to do it?

Unknown Speaker 36:17 Well, with my immediate friends, I went to right away after losing my friend to that drug overdose. I wasn't taking any chances on quoted back any information that I now have revealed to me about them, because I knew that he burned things. So I started sharing information with them. Many of them were receptive. But some of them ran away, they became afraid not because the info meishan wasn't accurate. But because the information was accurate, on and they felt. And now before they were invisible, now I knew everything about them. So people started running away from me, not because it wasn't true, accurate, but because they didn't want to stand in front of an X ray machine. Sure. For sure, but then there was also the other side of the coin. And people thought I just lost, I thought I just lost my mind and flipped out. And that what I was doing was actually something demonic and evil. So I took that this spirit said, what do you what do you have me doing here? Look him, he told me this. This is where I'm supposed to be doing. I'm trying to share it. So spirit told me I wasn't ready yet. I was, you know, going off too quickly. That to continue the study. And when the time was right. God told me he would bring his leaders to me. So it wasn't a type of thing where I could get on a hit a brass, hit the symbol and advertise and put it up in the lights come to me Come to me. I had to be patient and wait in study and to be prepare to prepare myself for the time when God was going to start sending people to me. So that's what I did. I just zipped it up, it started studying. And the people who found out about me found their way to me. I had prepared my services now. And it wasn't a a wide stream of clients. But when they came I was I was ready for them. And I knew they were leaders, right? That they were leaders and it hasn't changed. You are a global leader. The name brand is a number 32. And that's America's birthday, July the fourth 1776. And the number 32 shows up in all of America's leaders in George Washington's bow total. And Barack Obama has showed me showing up in your first name. The number 32 is called the ruler of all nations and people. And because I studied that, that's how I know you're going to have a global impact. Hmm. So this is why you're starting to meet people from other countries. And sooner or later you will have a network all around the world because that's that's what you came here. That was your contract. Promise creator that you would impact the planet. So you may not be telling other people that's your goal. But that's that's pretty much what the universe has planned for you. Your last name Handley the valtos a number 13. So I want to talk about that people are so afraid of the 13 branded, they won't come outside on Friday the 13 people are terrified, for sure and for good reason. The 13 is all in Nothing is an all or nothing type vibration. And what it stands for is change, release and transformation. So it does mean death, but not how we think of it. Because we are spiritual beings here for a temporary spell, what we call it death is simply returning back to our original state. Sure, is the transformation. So the 13 stands for change, release a transformation. And when it shows up in your name the way it does for you, it means you came here to be part of the transformation that's taking place. We've heard songs about the Age of Aquarius. Well, by golly, we're in it.

Brandon Handley 40:46 Where are you? Yeah, and you know, I'll throw it out there too. I am an Aquarius to say,

Unknown Speaker 40:50 wow, you

Brandon Handley 40:52 know, I'm all in right? Like, I mean, do I need any other signs? There's something that I'm missing. Change,

Unknown Speaker 41:02 right? It's transition. So when people meet you, they'll be transformed. The 13 is represented by the butterfly star. So calling around is that with wings fly, save energy save manager now, but also the Phoenix that goes down in flames and then rises from the ashes. So people should never count you out.

Brandon Handley 41:33 That's I mean, it's great. Right? I love I love both of those. Both those symbols, right? We always we always look at you know, the caterpillar. And then you know, going into its cocoon, and just totally eradicating what it was before getting into a big new mass of goo. And then coming out like this beautiful thing, right? So always love that. And same thing with the same Yeah, Phoenix is always a great story to write down to the ashes and reborn again, and into something more beautiful than it was before. And you know, as they say, powerful, but you know, powerful than more, you know, but maybe, maybe, you know, it's funny, I just shared the quote, that, uh, that kind of speaks to how I felt like upon like, my awakening, if it were as it were, right. I was like, I don't know what this power is. But I know that I'll figure it out. Right, I'll work towards figuring understanding it right. And that's me, just kind of right. The the Phoenix has probably always been that capable, but it wasn't until it was down and out that it's got to strike forward and search for it and, and come into its own power.

Unknown Speaker 42:45 Awesome. Awesome, man. Awesome. So most people, most people give up at that point. Most people, they, they check, you know, they turn to different escapism where they just hold on and go through that pain. You know, it's it's the old Coke is the old say, but no pain, no gain, you know, is this what you grew up? A farmer has to break up the soil before we could plant a seed.

Brandon Handley 43:18 No, hey. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. And I see that 100% the other thought, you know, and this is recent, recent one, the mean just just a quick exchange of of, you know, quotes and whatnot and thoughts on this. But there was, um, there's a lady that I listened to system or her meditations and, and just talking about pain as as a as a gateway to the divine, right. Unless we unless we allow ourselves to actually feel that pain and said that we continue to most of us shove shove pain away, right though I don't want to touch it, it hurts to keep that away. But if we go ahead and accept that pain, and feel into it, and we realize the power that's within that pain, and I don't know if you transform it or just feel it right and be okay with it, but a pain is also a gateway to the divine. And so I recently just kind of you know, that did it hit me. So what are your lines here and Craig, this has been awesome. I'm really enjoying it. And I know that you know, the audience will as well. But I love the line that you've got on on your website says I use my gifts to help I use my gifts. I use my gifts to help my clients understand themselves as spirit by journeying within we can discover a higher self higher purpose and divine well. Now is that from scriptures, that's something that you kind of came up with on your own just a curiosity there. I love it.

Unknown Speaker 44:39 I notice that something I came up on my own just over over time over the years people asked me the question, you know, we do was was it about was it four? Right? So that's, that's what I came up with. I realized that, you know, the body is a temple of the spirit and we're We're not physical beings, we have an occasional spiritual experience, the awakening is oh my goodness, we're spirit inside this this vessel by hand. So with numerology, I'm able to enable to share with people who they are in terms of spirit in terms of energy, so they can see themselves that way. because very few people will come up to you and talk to you in those terms. You know, they're talking about What school did you go to what car you drive when you work, you know, how much money do you make, but not what's your contract with God? What do you do earn your body to when you book your trip?

Brandon Handley 45:41 No, no, that's absolutely, absolutely. And so, you know, one of the things that, actually, so I mean, it's almost like, here's a UPC code on everybody that walks by, right, you got like, you got a scanner, they listen, let me tell you about you. First of all, these these ingredients are, you know, anyways, the idea is that to you know, in your book, you spell it out a little bit. It's not just to learn kind of numerology to figure out who you are, and just your kind of divine contract in your book, you also illustrate how you can determine relationships that, you know, beneficial in you know, you know, in matchmaking for sure, and like, you know, kind of find my next significant other, as well as you know, how things will work out at jobs or what what are good job fits, maybe give me like one or two scenarios, I know you listed out for my wife, Meg, you know, the number three, or was it number 16? Number, the book and being able to be a writer? What's like,

Unknown Speaker 46:49 like, what's your date of birth?

Brandon Handley 46:51 My date of birth is 125 1976.

Unknown Speaker 46:56 Okay, so you're also a seven, your wife is born to 61 plus six is seven. You're the 25th to plus. And it just so happens. This is crazy. You are both savage in compatibility. In my book starts on page 77. By case you

Unknown Speaker 47:29 I'm going to share with you what it means when two sevens, okay? to service. Now, this is in your day of birth sector and the day of birth and the compatibility report. Is the canvas for the relationship. No, it's not. It's not a it's the weakest energy really, when you're doing compatibility. Like if you go look at two artists, you go to a museum, look at a painting, you know, but the canvas is important, right? Canvas is important.

Unknown Speaker 47:56 So

Unknown Speaker 47:57 here's number seven, and number seven compatibility, and my book is on page 102 sevens. Silence is so much peace exists with this combo. On the seventh day God rested. So there's silence, there's peace, there's non verbal communication, there's no way without even speaking, okay,

Unknown Speaker 48:19 we're definitely there.

Unknown Speaker 48:24 This could be a couple who miss as hermits, or older friends or civilization and blissful solitude surrounded by nature, she herself is likely to be away from it all. Very spiritually inclined to sevens. But who's going to pay the bills, if both are lost in the world of thought, see that we got

Unknown Speaker 48:51 that we got that from

Unknown Speaker 48:55 very eccentric unit, with each being absorbed in their mental interests. So that's a couple of sevens there, right? When added up your wife's month, day and year, it added up to the number four. Now that's the most important number in a compatibility chart, the sum of the month, day and year. So for you, it was 125. There as of the 26th. So your gift is leadership. The number one, everybody knows that. I talked about faith aspect of, of spirituality being a researcher and analyst or thinker your year as up to 23 1976 is a 23. Okay, this happens a lot. I start I have one in kitchen and spirit kicks in. I don't know why the camera keeps going up. Spirit is telling me to share this with you on you're going to have a business and have an opportunity to hire your family. That's showing up family entrepreneur. vibration shows up in your chart. But I digress. This happens a lot. I have an intention, but something come in from the

Brandon Handley 50:09 universe. Where does that where does that where does that come from? Is that coming from a number or is that coming from a vibration?

Unknown Speaker 50:15 It's coming from the number, your month is a one in your year is a 23. Okay as up to 24. And that's called the family entrepreneur vibration. Okay? The family entrepreneur vibration, of course, is showing up in your chart, starting your business and hiring your family. So as I said, I digress it off, this happens in the house, I have an intention, the universe will say okay, while you're open, share this. I wanted to share that with you. So your mother today is 2424 25 is 49. So not only do your your birthdays match, but he's a 44 plus years for your 44 plus nine is 30. There's a 13 again, right one plus three is four.

Rick Thompson 1:01 Thanks for having me. It's always an honor and pleasure to share with others,

Brandon Handley 1:05 our present so I love to start this off with the whole idea that you know, your god man, that, you know, we are we are vessels for the creative energies of flow through the universe, and that you and I are connecting through this medium through this amplification through the podcast, with at least one specific person that's going to catch a message that can only be delivered through you today. In this instance, true source. What does that messager

Rick Thompson 1:35 well, that you're given everything and all you have to do is accept?

Unknown Speaker 1:42 Yeah, well,

Brandon Handley 1:42 I mean, let's expand on that, right? I mean, I mean, I think that's gonna be a big part of the conversation, where, you know, if I'm out there, and I'm like, Hey, man, I want everything How come was not here?

Rick Thompson 1:55 Well, that's what the book comes, I go through, you know, the first part of my book really tells the physics behind it, until cell particle doesn't really become a particle until it's observed. So through many of the things like, they have this water crystal, that when they put positive energy on it, it turns to beautiful crystals. And when you put negative energy on it, and they have these different tests, even with the plant, they can kind of do these things and measure that reaction. So our thoughts in itself put energy into the world. And we have the power to So speak cocreate, because our energy is creating part of the world in front of us, you know, there's all these other things that have been created before or by others, but we have the ability with our energy to kind of trade what we want. And to me, I have a story I like to tell, can is, puts this perspective helped me to learn that when you go to heaven with you is a giant golden box. And on that box is your name. And you get up there and you see it and go, Wow, this box is beautiful. And I wonder what's in it and finding us what's in this box. And they says, Well, normally we don't tell people what's in the box. But you ask, and it's your box. So they open it up. And in it is all the gifts that God gave you that you did not accept. And so, you know, it's the truth that like the sunshine shining on your world, given everything, we just have to accept the gifts that he gives us. All of this go around telling us how unworthy we are and how we don't deserve and when smart enough. And you know, that's just the negative or whatever power, you want to call it on the other side, kind of drag a spout away from all the beautiful things that life has given us and makes possible for us.

Brandon Handley 3:39 Now love that. So you've got you've got quite a quite a few things in there. I heard that story heard you tell that story a little earlier. And I really enjoyed the first time I've heard it definitely, definitely made me you know, stop and pause and think about what gifts survive, you know, kind of rejected. And then you've also got the route that's the particle particles could be a wave or a particle, right until you observe it. Right? That's the that's the physics piece that you're talking to. And then you're also talking about Mr. He was a more a motto, right? The Japanese water experiment that was done. And I think that those are all awesome examples, right of physics. And then, you know, also the power of the mind. I think a question that comes to my mind is one of the same ones that I have for myself, like, what were some of the gifts that you were not receiving? That you recognize that that you actually had a gift for? I believe, I believe one of the stories I heard was that you were told that you were slow and that you had a learning disability and that you were a dreamer. But here you are today. You know being being this being this catalyst in the world that you are today. How did you how did you come upon that?

Rick Thompson 4:52 like to say you live life, and it's for me, it's like what didn't happen overnight. But that's it. Child, you know, my father left me when I was very young, and I never saw him again. You know, my mom had to raise me and she did remarried, and she remarried a great kid guy. And, you know, you can say, that's the happiest day of, you know, my dad left, he gave me $1. And it made me really happy me and my sister both got a dog because dad can have any piece of candy. We're very young. And it's just, you know, it was so much to me as a little kid, that it was really excited. But that's also the last time I ever saw. So I remembered as a happy moment. But you know, it's kind of sad, because I never saw him again. So, to me, that's a gift. I was given a happy moment to remember my father by at the last moment, even though it's a breakout, and the things he went through and the suffering he had to do, because he wasn't there, I didn't have to suffer through I had a very good life. And because I was kind of feel rejected as a child, I think that's why I got branded kind of the way I did. But as I read and learned and grew, you know, I and I learned to understand what was going around me and realize that I wasn't. And I started applying those applications in life. Like, when I was in junior high, I decided I wanted to set a track record. And one of the things I did is I just envisioned it and said it. And I actually made bets with everybody the year before, saying that's what I was going to do. And the next year I did it, and Matter of fact, I did it way above what I had ever expected. And so kind of helped me to find that what you believe in, you can make happen. And I had a very, I had a great life, you know, I was married and had children's and a nice house. And I wasn't super rich, but I definitely wasn't poor. I lived what I would consider a good life. And that life was so good that it's like what do you do to make a better life, I was happy. I was loved. I lived where I wanted. But 10 years ago, my wife passed away. And when she passed away, it created this terrible pain. And of course, the question is always why God mean. And I dealt with that for a while and started searching the world out. And instead of complaining about what was taken from me, I found that it was more important to cherish what was given. Because my wife taught me how to love and be a really good man and taught me so much. And she was so kind and generous. And I don't know why things happen. But if I try to explain them, I just go crazy. But I do know, by changing my perspective from meaning me, why am I suffering to the gifts I got and what I can do for others, it allowed me to, you know, rebuild a new line to help others. And I do it in her name, kinda, you know, in her memory and her kindness and loving me, I help others and try to be the best man I can and just grow a little bit each day to be a better man. And those experiences are the kind of gifts that you know, when they happen, you think they're not a gift, but when you look back at him, and look at both sides, you know, through your entire life, they turn out a gift that really makes you the person you want today.

Brandon Handley 8:24 So that's, you've got your gifts that you were given, right? I mean, you do you go all the way back to the last time you saw your father, you know, I kind of jotted down, you know, this would be a story, right? Where you asked for a penny and you got $1, right, you asked and you receive but like, you know, maximum amount. And how there's also you can look at that as a happy moment and and a sad moment, right. And then you have the other part that you talked about there was setting the track record and envisioning that what's kind of funny is a real similar story that and that's what's one of my anchor points to to kind of recognizing the achievements I was like, first or second grade, though, and I ended up being like the fastest kid right, but like just kind of coming back and envisioning that like seeing yourself doing it and living it right. And, and then, you know, you've also got like this kind of this life that you're living that you love, and how could it be any better and then and then your wife passes away. And that and that was like the you know, silence me to like, you know her again, listen to another one of your podcasts. I was like, No, she was true love to you. Right? That means a big big part of your life and you are in a you're in a lot of pain and I love this line. There's a person I listen to Sarah blonde and and she's got this. This meditation is called, you know, pain is a gateway to divine and it sounds kind of like it that's what it that's what it did for you. It opened up a pathway to the divine for you. Is that what you were searching for? right because you said you kind of went out there searching. You were your why God me And were you searching for like, why are you in pain were you searching for? What was it you were searching for? In that moment? I'm just curious enough.

Rick Thompson 10:10 I was kind of searching is why am I hearing? What should I do? If I'm going to, you know, wrong to hurt yourself? So I can't do that, because that would be a sin. In my rules anyway. And then, so I say, Well, if I'm gonna be here, then why? And what can I do to make it what you want, but you need what there is for me and the world. And so that's kind of why I wrote the book, because I wrote some books. So I hope I can get other people to realize that if you put the thought and effort towards what you want, you can achieve it. You know, we're all given everything to me. And if you put the action and the proper thought towards it, you will be given those things. I know, when I started doing it, after my wife passed away, I believe that will just give me everything. I, you know, work and my brain chemistry. And, you know, when I had that positive attitude, and I really protection for us, and it's just like, whatever any kind of showed up. So I felt very blessed. Today, I feel extremely blessed. Right, this very building, it's not like, there is a more, but it's not like, I don't have enough you.

Brandon Handley 11:28 Right? I mean, you get to you get to a great point. You know, but again, to so it looks like looks like sounds like what it was like, you know, why am I here? Right? What you're searching for meaning, you know, I mean to, you know, Man's Search for Meaning Viktor Frankl, right? Like, what are you? You're searching, right? You know, what, if you're going to take away the things that the, you know, what was making my life so great, then why am I here and kind of searching for purpose is kind of what I'm hearing. And then you're talking about, you know, the idea of, you know, kind of thinking and taking action. But what about the effort and effort doesn't have to be like this extreme effort to have to really try superduper hard and like all my waking hours does that need to be? Is that how we get things? Or how, you know, what is your recommendation in regards to that?

Rick Thompson 12:19 Well, I think it's more, there's a conscious mind and its subconscious mind. And the conscious mind thinks, and it can think about stuff, but it takes a ton of energy and your body's chance to physically try to reduce energy. So it will use everything in the lower levels again, so you, they tell you, like 10% of your brain, you only use 10% in your brain. But the truth is, you're only using 10% of it consciously, you're using 90% of it, subconsciously. So what really creates a future for us is what we totally believe. And it kind of says in the Bible, what you believe in as if it's already happened, will be yours. So that belief is a subconscious belief, not a conscious belief. It's when you automatically throw the football and it goes through where you want, you didn't think about it, it just happened. And the same thing goes for things you want in your life. If you want something special, or you you got to believe in it in such a way that it exists for you. You can see it in people that have been successful. It's like, Man, that guy just goes through life, he doesn't put any effort into it. And it just all happens for him. That's the way it needs to work. Because if you believe 1% subconscious, then you're putting very little energy into it. But if you're thinking about it and trying to force it, then it doesn't really come to you. So that's why people say, I put all this thought and energy into it. But you just can't pound it in you got to kind of like, be in the wave and float with it. And it's got to come from a subconscious level not a conscious level.

Brandon Handley 13:56 Yeah, and I've definitely seen this show up in my life. And I guess a couple questions I would have would be you know, do you feel like you are doing it? Or do you feel like the creation, the experience is happening through you and for you. And you know, just kind of curious on your take on that.

Rick Thompson 14:18 I feel like it's happening, too. And for me, it's just you're going with the flow. I think that negative energy like bad thoughts are the things that hold you back. And the main thing you got to do is kind of forgive and get rid of the negative energy. And when you can just release and let go and you become part of the the universe the world whatever God however you want to describe it. Then it just flows with it and the things you're supposed to do and the things that are supposed to happen come to you and you have choice, kind of but you know you're kind of set for a path you're given powers and those ones that you enjoy are the ones you set to do your stuff. We are getting There's a choice between what we want to do. And when you're choosing the things that you're best at, you're the most happiest. So I feel like it's letting loose and accepting the flow of the river, but paddling gently in the right direction.

Brandon Handley 15:21 So, you know, where do you feel like you first saw this happening for you in your life and began to accept it?

Rick Thompson 15:31 Well, I thought at a younger age and started to accept it, but I saw it the most after my wife died, because I put more mental energy into it. One of the things I found that, you know, can't contentment, you don't have to put much thought into life, or energy into life if you're totally content. And when I was married, with my wife, and my family and kids eyes, I had a good job, I had a happy life I was loved. I was very content. And I didn't have any need to really find a change. But then when my wife died, I had pain and suffering, and I was not content. And through that, I put a lot of effort. And because I opened my eyes and looked more, I saw things I never saw before.

Brandon Handley 16:20 Yeah, I mean, what what an example of the some of the things that you you saw that you weren't able to see before?

Unknown Speaker 16:27 Well,

Rick Thompson 16:30 I just went to other people, and I saw people able to do things, you know, I saw people that could, I saw a guy that could look at somebody's eyes and a picture and tell what they're thinking, I saw people that spiritually came up to me and talked to me about my wife, and I just traveled around and I read books, I started becoming more thirsty for knowledge, because I wanted to find what it was. So I read books, and I put them together and tried to see how they fit. And then I asked different questions like what makes a man happy and successful. And I looked at those, and when I saw them, you know, I saw the spirit, spiritual world kind of open up, or we're all connected, we're all connected. You know, through quantum physics, if you want to think like, somebody thought of the world, and it was created, because everything's a wave until it's graded. Well, the person is better the world and everything was God, he thought of it. And then he was all created. And they say, the world is created in seven days. If you stand on the event horizon, and look at the creation of the universe, it would look like seven days standing there at that point. So it is possible from his perspective, that the world was really created in seven days, in our perspective, it's not from his it could be and I just found things like that. And other people scientist, I, you know, we're interested in when they search and try to find, you know, what puts together universe they all end up turning to God, say, there's a creator that created everything.

Brandon Handley 18:12 Right, the I love that perspective of, you know, kind of standing on event horizon and seeing, you know, in seven days, kind of everything being created, that's a really cool visual.

Unknown Speaker 18:26 It's pretty cool visual. So

Brandon Handley 18:27 when, you know, so you're in a steel cement business, right? You know, I don't hear too many people kind of getting into this, in the steel, cement business, you know, you're CEO of your business, and you know, how how, you know, encouraging your, your, and you're out there right to like, what I mean by that is, you're putting your books out there, you're talking about this stuff. I mean, so how is this showing up in your business?

Rick Thompson 18:54 I meet several people that work for me, and I try to teach them those ways, and help them to look at the world differently. You know, one of the things I love to tell people each day is you don't got to go to work and get to go to work, you don't got to get up, you get to get out. You know, it's all a matter of perspective, how you look at it, I get to do everything I do all day long. I don't have to, if I truly didn't want to I can say I'm not going to do that. But I'm electing to so instead of saying I have to, I like to say I get to and I teach people those kind of things one step at a time and see where they're at in life and try to help them because everybody's in a different arena and try to open up the world to them. So they'll know that anything for them they want as possible.

Brandon Handley 19:40 Have you had Have you had people you know and underneath kind of like your tutelage at the company, who've really been able to take to this and shine and really apply it.

Rick Thompson 19:55 Well, I don't have a very big company, but I think they all take to it and shine with it a little bit. That's what I like to believe in my heart. You know, I always say it's hard to see your own cell. But what I see is people are taking it in their life to become better. I've had several people say that it has changed their life. So I'm very grateful I, like I said, you know, we help each other become better, and the world becomes a better place one step at a time. I'm not looking for any glory or anything, but I'd sure like to see the world become a better place each day, just like I'd like to grow a bit each day. And by helping others having a better attitude, you make the world better, and they help others and so on, and so on, and so on. And

Brandon Handley 20:35 that's great deed and your, your, your children to write How many children do you have?

Rick Thompson 20:41 I have? Well, I'm remarried. So I have to buy my first wife, and three by my second wife. So we have five children and four grandchildren. And my daughter has two and she has two. So I have my children.

Brandon Handley 21:00 Uh, thanks for not making me do the math, uh, the the, you know, so the idea of really is as a parent, right now, as a grandparent, how are you trying to impart this to your children in such a way that I can tell you right, when I first kind of had some of these moments, and first had some realizations, I'm, you know, trying to stop it, and my, you know, my kids are kind of young, but like, just making sure that they're exposed to it. So that, to your point, right, that you don't have to wait till later in life. To learn this stuff, right? The sooner that you learn it, the sooner you can apply it, and hopefully, you know, how you don't have to suffer through some of the shenanigans? I did. Right? Or, you know, that's what we'd like to impart. Right? So have you know, what's it like sharing it with your children? And what are they? What are they?

Unknown Speaker 21:51 What are they doing with it? Well,

Rick Thompson 21:53 they're very grateful, they're good to me, I love my children, they love me back, I feel very grateful. They're using it to help their lifes grow, and envision what they wanted a life and have a great family and, you know, see what they would like to receive. The grandkids are at a young age, the way I work with them is I just spend time with them, I spend as much time with them as I can. And when I see the opportunity to teach them something and they're listening, then I try to grab hold of that opportunity. I don't go up and try to force them to go like, this is what you need to do. I wait for the challenges in life to come along. And then I make suggestions to them. Like, you could look at it this way or that way you have a choice, and try and teach them that they have a choice, because the truth is they do learn the most, and set the most rules from the age of one to seven. So we have an opportunity to really teach them very positive thinking processes at a younger age. And that's what I try to do is make sure they're not putting themselves down and saying they can't. One of the things is, you know, I have a grandson that's playing football right now. And, you know, we want to make sure to teach him that he's doing a good job. And he's not putting himself down for anything he does, you know, the thing you need to look at, did you put the effort and then you did great doesn't matter. You know, you did great if you put action towards it and proper thought. And the other thing I try to teach him is a lot of it can be thought because if you're thinking correctly, when you're doing stuff, you're gonna get a better results. So what are you thinking about why you're trying to accomplish your task. And these are the ways I go about it with stories, because I always say stories like the golden box, or other stories, our best way to impress people with different ideas. But the bottom line is I just want to have a happy life. And it's their choice, what they really decide. I just want to help guide them in the direction that will help them the most.

Unknown Speaker 24:05 Yeah,

Brandon Handley 24:05 and it's tough, right? Especially again, as a parent, and you just want them to take this stuff in and you just want to it's like if we could just like stick a USB, and stick into our head or something and be like, hey, you're going to need this later at some point, right? That'd be for, you know, skip over these chapters. You're not going to need these. But if we could do that, that'd be that'd be a lot of fun. You know, what would you mean, though, you said, you know, kind of proper thought and thinking correctly? What do you what do you say? And then when you say that,

Rick Thompson 24:36 well, everybody has different rules. So you want to have good rules. You don't want to have rules that say, you know, I'm not smart, or I'm not able to be happy. Or maybe some of the rules I see that hurt people is like, my job is to make everybody happy. Well, that's an impossible goal. You can't make everyone happy. So you If you make your rules too complex in life, you're gonna fry pain and suffering about it. What you want to do is have rules like, you know, no matter who you are, I'm going to give you a smile, or I'm going to treat you with respect, I have control of that. So if my rules are like that, then I can control the world around me to a degree, people might be unhappy, or they might be sad, but it's not going to be my fault, because I didn't achieve it. So you just got to be careful with your rules in life and what you kind of set in on yourself, so that they're achievable. And they're realistic, and they're beneficial to you. Because most of the things that getting away are going to be our rules that we have about how life should be, you know, if you're miserable, is because your rules don't align with your life. And you can change them, if you want. That's the one thing we have control over. You can't change people, but you can definitely change your rules.

Brandon Handley 25:55 So that's great. How do I align those two?

Rick Thompson 25:59 Well, you, it's gonna be a little bit different for everybody, because we live different lives, and we're all different. But what you want to do is kind of feel in your heart and your soul what feels right. And when you have bad feelings. You want to say, Well, what caused? What caused me to feel icky about this or bad about that, because we all have those feelings. And then you check your rules out and say, okay, what's not in alignment that's making me feel that way? And what would I need to do to make that a good rule that it'd be enlightenment and would make me happy. And you review those rules, and then you would repeat them, like, whatever the new rule might be, just before you go to bed, or when you wake up, it just depends upon each person's individual, and what they really want out of life. And how they even define words. Because the words may mean something to somebody else when they say him than they do to you. But the I am words, I am this I am that are very powerful. If I am a good man, you will go out of your way to be a good man. That's what you say and believe. If you say I'm a bad man, you'll go out of your way to prove to people that's true, too. So those roles that we make for ourselves are very important to be in line with the happiness and the joy we want in life.

Brandon Handley 27:18 Yeah, see, I can definitely relate to you know, you are what you say you are, right. I mean, you really are fine. If I look back, and oh, man, oh, Jeff, those misspent youth, right? If I look back at those misfit years, when when I was like, Oh, I'm this I am that and and you know, just kind of, and doing it unconsciously and becoming exactly what I said that I was at those points in time. And it's just unbelievable how, when you start making that choice consciously when you start saying who you are to yourself, and looking for evidence of that, right? I found that to be kind of the one of the pieces that is key here is to state who I am today, right? Who am I today? And that's like, whoever I want to be even in the future. I already am that right? So what are the pieces that or in the future necessary for that whole thing that I have right now to begin to build on that? I found that to be super, super potent for me. But one of the you got a couple things in here too. First, you know why? Why is I am? Like so powerful? Like just saying I am Dude, what would you say there?

Rick Thompson 28:43 That's a good question. I'm not exactly sure why I am I just know through research that I am. Because your brain is your subconscious is really one liners. So I think part of it is because it's just a simple one line I am. So your subconscious knows what I am is and then it just connects. And it doesn't have to have logic or reason to connect. It just connects. So the I am statements or this is true statements, or how our subconscious is stacked. And then we use those bits of information to think with. So our conscious mind least allows us to analyze and lose us a lot of energy to decide what's good or bad, or change however we need to. But our subconscious mind is kind of like this deck of cards that's already pre stacked. And if you get that situation, that's what's going to happen. It's it knows these rules, and it's going to give you those answers as quickly as possible. Because to jump out of the way of a car. It's like you don't want to think about it. You just do it. And a lot of things in life are just like that. You don't really think about it, you do it and even some things are so well taught to us that we don't even realize we're doing when they happen you know you can be talking to somebody and get that funny look on your face or you say this Word, and it kind of offends them a little bit, but you didn't even know you're doing that you just do it. So when you get those hard feelings if you analyze them and kind of see what's going on, it helps you to adjust. I have a story about my daughter that kind of puts that in perspective is when she was very little. I was an ironworker. You know, iron workers are tougher than iron. At work, and I would take that home. And because I was loud and forceful, she said, Dad, you kind of scare me when you know. And she told me one time, and I said, Okay, and she told me, I never talked to our studio like that again. But I didn't know I was, it was just a habit, I brought home from work. I think a lot of us bring home habits from work and other things. You know, they kind of accomplish what you need at work, but they don't accomplish what you need out of life.

Brandon Handley 30:52 Yeah, that's powerful. That's one of the things that I found to be the gift of having a child, right. Like, they always say that children are a blessing and a gift. And when you're changing diapers, you like that, you know, like how they are. And like, you know, you want a good night's sleep. And yeah, there's realize that here, but I found that they are just amazing at reflecting who you are right back to you without a filter without that without that world filter that says oh, you can't say that, right? Oh, you can't say that to a person. Right? That kind of thing. So I, I love I love the children for that. And and how they

Rick Thompson 31:35 write they shine. You're right. But I love it too. They say exactly what you think,

Brandon Handley 31:40 you know, sometimes it's not so great or

Rick Thompson 31:41 chubby pop up.

Unknown Speaker 31:46 And, and, and,

Brandon Handley 31:47 and and they you know, they they will say what you say right? They'll talk how you talk and you'll hear them talk like you talking like oh my god, I sound like a jerk. Right? Or like, Oh, that's rough. I live really that rough. Because you know, you have that kind of influence on them. Especially like you said, that age like one through seven super impressionable. That's also, like you said that the kind of the age where you build some logic and reason. So what what is, I mean, we've got some of these logic and reason codes that had been imprinted. Like through that age one through seven. And then I don't know, we go through like 2020 plus years, maybe 30, maybe 40. If you're a late bloomer like myself, when you when you finally realize that, hey, you've, you've got all this logic and reason that you built up over the years, how do you how do you begin to, like, dismantle that.

Rick Thompson 32:42 Or you'd like to say you want to see the things that make you feel bad, and listen to what other people say to and you want to review your rules, because it's a basically gets down to what did your subconscious really believe, you know, you can tell like, I'm going to be a millionaire. And your subconscious will tell you kind of like now. Now you're not ready yet. So you can feel inside what's really true, you know, and when, and when you get those in alignment, those feelings, you know, I'm going to do this or that and it feels right, then you're getting the right belief behind you, and you just reinforced those, as we get older, I think it's harder to change in, you know, that's why as a child, it's a gift to kind of help them teach so much because it does stay with them very easily through all their life. As we get older, we kind of reinforce it with you know, talking to herself, or, you know, I like to use music that sings good songs to you, that tells you the kind of stuff you're trying to think correctly. I pick out certain songs in the morning to listen to that will help you get started that just kind of put that thought into you, or you can use mantras, but the hard part is to sit down and say what are my rules? And do they serve me and the people around me? And if they do then they're good and if they don't then we'll Why don't you adjust them a little bit?

Unknown Speaker 34:04 The

Brandon Handley 34:08 good music? What do you know? Are you willing to share kind of what your your your morning wake up routine music is I mean, what gets you going?

Rick Thompson 34:17 Well, I'm not really good with all the names but I have you know, I like pop and I like different music. I have a handful that ranges from you know, classic rock, country music, and I just look for things that say positive stuff. Like there you know the song This is going to be the best day of my life.

Brandon Handley 34:37 Yeah, it's a great song. I liked it. That's

Rick Thompson 34:39 a good song. I like that song because this is going to be the I think I like to wish people I hope this is the best day ever had and I hope tomorrow is the best they have every day because every day is the best day from here on in Godrej. Like,

Brandon Handley 34:51 right, right. Hey, listen, I mean, so for years, a couple years they're not mine is COVID I go to jujitsu To write and and when new barriers How you doing? Do you have when you're getting ready to spar and like how are you doing? Like, best day in my life everything is call me to this moment, right? Like, I mean, this is the right now is the best moment of my life. It's all it's all built up to this moment. So any other good songs that you like? I mean, I know that for me, I literally just answered this question the other day, you know, KC, and the sunshine berry walking on sunshine, right? Yeah, that's the song that's like, I mean, we, when you hear that song, you gotta you have no choice. You got to, you got to smile, you got to be walking on sunshine, anything else you got,

Rick Thompson 35:35 I got a ton of them. But I don't want to offend anybody. But you know, when I die, and I'm gonna go to the place, that's the best.

Brandon Handley 35:41 Yeah, that's a

Rick Thompson 35:43 champion. And, you know, I have a loved ones that I like, just, you know, what loves about and different things like that. I mean, I'd be interested from the audience, because I'm always looking for new songs, what they think are the best songs because I really think that starting your day, like that, or listen to that kind of stuff really makes an impact on your subconscious way of things. And so many songs have, you know, negative impact on them and stuff. Same as movies, so many movies can have, you know, very negative implications to them. So I'm looking for stuff to put that positive in positive thinking into your brain, so I can get that positive thinking out of my brain.

Brandon Handley 36:27 So it's funny you say that because remember al gore Al Gore, Al Gore and tipper Gore, was it remember, they were trying to get like some of that, you know, all that, you know, not bad. I wouldn't call it bad music. But now I wouldn't listen to it. Right. Some of the some of the stuff that I listened to when I was younger, because of, of just how influential that is on our minds. Do you remember that? Like I do, I

Rick Thompson 36:49 don't have to say about that. Because you know, they. There's good and bad in everything. It doesn't matter what it is? Yeah, you know, you have a choice. If you choose in those kinds of things, there must be a reason I don't judge because I haven't lived your life. But that's going to get back to what are your rules? To your rules say that you have to fight everybody that comes along? Or can you negotiate it? And yeah, like I said, I have not lived the life of the people and how they make the decisions, or why they like stuff. I just know, for me, that's what I prefer to have happy life. And that's what I would recommend others. But some of those tunes that are got some weird lyrics, and let's just say they got catchy tunes.

Brandon Handley 37:41 Hey, listen, don't don't get me wrong. Like, there's still gonna be days when I still play some songs and stuff, right? And and it's interesting, because I don't listen to music quite as quite as much as I used to. And what will happen though, is that those lyrics will pop up in my head, like the next day or a few days later, I'm like, oh, wow, I you know, I haven't seen that in forever. But then I can also recall, just the last time I heard it, and just I'm so cognizant of what goes in now. And seeing it show up later, right, like literally planting that seed in my mind, and it shows up somewhere else later. And I think that's the kind of kind of what we're hearing to for you. I think another one I like to Rick is I can see clearly now. Right? That's a good one. I like that one. What about like, a couple mantras? Do you have the what's what's one or two matches that you find yourself using to help you stay positive,

Rick Thompson 38:41 I like to use Have you heard of Ono Pono.

Brandon Handley 38:44 I've heard of it, I have not delved deeply into it and want to tell us a little bit about what that is.

Rick Thompson 38:48 So Ono, Pono is a like a Hawaiian chant. And there was this guy that went to a prison. And he was hired as the lead, you know, the director of the prison. And when he went there, it was a terrible place. And people were fighting and having all this trouble. And all he did in that prison was to take the people's pictures, and he would do this pair of them. I love you. Please forgive me. I'm sorry. Thank you. And he would do that in there. Because he felt like, you know, they he needed saving. By saving himself by asking for forgiveness, he's saving them and eventually that prison, you know, it got better and better until they actually shut it down. And so those are that's one of the things I like to do. You know, I think about all the little things I did wrong during the day or the things I said to people, and I'll pick those people out, and I'll do that at night. Or maybe right after I just did it wrong. And I just send that out now. I just think it makes a big difference. You know, it's a simple jet, but I love you Please forgive me. I'm sorry. Thank you.

Brandon Handley 39:53 Yeah, that's, that's, uh, I love that. You know, I love that. I love that story. And it's first I've heard it It reminds me to of, you know, the meta meditations, right the loving kindness kind of real similar, right we send you know, no love and kindness out to somebody other people, some some that you're having some that you're on bad terms with some people that you don't know at all or whatever right now close ones and yourself, right? I think that that's always important is to, to make sure that you're giving yourself a little little love. I mean, love yourself first too, right? I don't know about you. But if you're not loving yourself, then who's gonna love you? Right? Right?

Rick Thompson 40:33 I agree. It's kind of like the oxygen mask. I don't put them oxygen mask, or I don't take care of myself, how can I help anybody else? I need to take care of myself enough. So I'm strong to contribute to you.

Brandon Handley 40:45 Know, and you so you, you felt like, you know, again, you kind of fell into this stuff? Have you applied it in your business? Has your business? Do you feel like your business has been exponentially more successful? Or do you just feel more successful as a person in general, because of all that you're doing in the way you're employing it? Or is it both?

Rick Thompson 41:06 Both? I feel like my life is way better. I'm happy. I feel like I live. I'm grateful every day I lived a blessed life. I feel so blessed. I'd love to have everything I need. It's a great life. And my business does well, and I help others. And I mean, it's not the trip, it's the journey. So the goals are always more the goals are the opportunities to go forward. I have goals to do all kinds of things in the future. Just because I want to contribute and make the most of my life. It's not like I need more. I have everything I need today and more. It's just fun to travel the road.

Brandon Handley 41:47 But what would you say the importance of recognizing that distinction, that you just said that they're you know, you'll want more? But you've got everything that Jordan need right now? How does that change? Kind of the effort, stress levels, etc?

Rick Thompson 42:07 Well, I think it's, again, your rules, I think the stress level goes way down. If you can believe those things totally. Can I don't need more, I don't have to have this, I'm not suffering, you know, I'm not worried about this or that or that. Those things go away. And I forgive those that make mistakes and don't hold grudges, and I get rid of that negative engine energy I feel and you write on that energy wave or that love wave, whatever you want to call it. Right? Everybody calls it different. But it's existed for millions of years, because they talked about it. For me. The physics is different today than it was at the beginning of time. Right? We just call it different stuff and look at it from a different perspective. Right? The physics are all still the same?

Brandon Handley 42:50 No, I mean, you know, to your point earlier, I think a little bit on Nope, we talked about it while we're here. So much, but everything, you know, God's created everything right, you know, everything has already been created. It's really just our awareness of it. Right. And maybe, I don't know coalescing it through our thoughts and being able to see it, right. I mean, something along those lines, the so what made you What made you decide that, you know, you should be putting out a book. And now, as it relates to this material, why you Why now?

Rick Thompson 43:27 Well, it's just the way life went. And, you know, you kind of the calling, there's just something that says, hey, you should do this, you know, I thought I'd never be able to write a book. My history is not a writer, you know, I love science and stuff. But when it comes to the English language, those kind of things, I'm not top notch, I have a lot to learn. But someone came to me and said, Hey, you should write a book. And then I started thinking about what I learned. And I love the subject of science and how energy comes together and how it can help your life. And it helped my life so much. I just had that calling that how do you help somebody? I don't know for sure what I'm supposed to do to help others. But when you get that feeling in your heart, like you should do something. I tried to do it, and I got that feeling in my heart. I should do that. So I did it.

Brandon Handley 44:14 Nice. My sounds like I mean, it sounds like to your I always get some backlash when I say, you know, following your bliss, but I mean, when you follow, I guess you're kind of heart hearts guidance is what I guess we could call it. Are you following the guidance of your heart? And that leads to something good? Is that kind of what you're saying here?

Rick Thompson 44:36 Yeah, I believe that. You know, we all have feelings. We all have feelings. And if you listen to them, they'll guide you in the right path. When you go into a room you can tell rooms negative or positive. You can tell so many things in life, we don't realize. It's like the water crystals. You can prove that your energy does it but there's energy there. You can when we They do statistics on good and bad things happening when they have prayer, they have perceptions. And statistically, they can prove that when they have those set prayer sessions, the bad events go down. So our energy out there that we have, connect with everybody is available. So what do you do to make that work the best for everybody?

Brandon Handley 45:22 That's awesome. So where the title of the book again? Where can people kind of go to find it? And where should they connect with you?

Rick Thompson 45:32 The title of the book is the quantum mindset in a nutshell, and I have a webpage, that's the Quantum mindset.com. You can go there and connect with me there. And if you look up the book and stuff, it'll connect you to me. And through that website, that's the best way you want to email, ask questions. If there's something I can do to help you just let me know. I'd love to help. Awesome and who

Brandon Handley 45:55 would you say like your, your ideal reader, I guess if you know, if we were, if we were talking marketing terms, that avatar or even your niche, like, who's gonna be picking this book up? Do you think Who's this talking to?

Rick Thompson 46:11 I think it's people that are trying to understand life and maybe are looking for a change and not clear whether they can really make that effect on their life. This book gives you a lot of solid facts about why this is possible physically. And if you're looking for that kind of supporting information, but I think anybody who's looking for to change their life with positive energy, this book is a good place to start.

Brandon Handley 46:38 Recommend I just want to say thanks for I know you're a busy man. So I want to say thanks for stopping by spiritual dope and hanging out sharing some of your story, your insights, and you know, hopefully somebody out there is no totally influenced by our conversation today. So thank you.

Rick Thompson 46:53 Well, I hope it helps people and that's why I'm here to help you and I'm very grateful for you having me here today. And hope you have a wonderful day, your week. Bye.

In this podcast, we interview Kurtis Lee Thomas, Corporate Mindfulness Trainer, and the book's internationally bestselling author, The World is Yours, The Awakening - The Secrets Behind the Secret.

Starting, Kurtis gives a message to the listeners of the podcast, "Whatever you want for yourself, you must do for other people first." He also talks about the universe and the power it holds.

Next, Kurtis explains breath-work as a healing mode and the process of dealing with emotions, stress, drama, trauma, and the emotional intelligence of dealing with things. He also discusses his experience with breath-work as compared to numerous techniques that he has tried. He explores the spiritual awakening concepts from his 3-D world and how to get a bigger picture of this world.

He talks about his best-selling book, which he wrote after going through some unhealed trauma.

He also talks extensively about the art of manifesting and the fact that we need to know what we want to achieve.

Next up, Brendon and Kurtis talk about the factors holding us back. Self-sabotaging by focusing on what we don't want and holding on to something from the past that we don't need. Then they continue to discuss breath-work and letting go of things. Kurtis says, "you need to let go if you want to let in" and explains how stored emotions create stories.

Kurtis discusses going from having zero spiritual experience to actually experiencing everything in a span of a month which then led him to research for 10-12 hours a day. He talks about his experiences from the spiritual world, the law of attraction, and cosmic consciousness.

He then explains how the earth is not our home but our mission and continues with the power of breathing and its techniques. He explains how when you breathe full, you are living your life to the fullest and when you breathe shallow you are living a shallow life.

Moving on, Kurtis talks about the idea of letting go of things and how it all comes down to comfort. He explains his idea of negative energy having consciousness and the greatest fear of its being destroyed.

He then goes on to talk about how we live in the age of anxiety and the idea of this population being scared of the future.

Next, they talk about the game of integration. Kurtis talks about the learning from Buddha and Jesus and integrating knowledge into this 3-D form of life.

Kurtis Lee Thomas 1:06 Oh, man, you know, I will say every year, I have like one message, one mantra that I live by. And, you know,

Brandon Handley 0:00 4321 Hey, their spiritual dope I'm on today with Curtis Lee Thomas. He is a corporate mindfulness trainer and a number one best selling author of The World Is Yours. The secret behind the secret. The book has been seen in the hands of mega influencers, like Oprah Winfrey, Tony Robbins, Steve Forbes and Kanye West. Curtis is the founder of breathwork detox and just released his new book titled How to thrive in the age of anxiety and curse before we even get started. Man, I want to what what is your what's your Instagram?

Kurtis Lee Thomas 0:36 handle? Man from the stars? What's that all about? Man from the stars?

Brandon Handley 0:41 Yeah, so

Kurtis Lee Thomas 0:42 I am, you know,

Brandon Handley 0:43 I love it. I love it.

Unknown Speaker 0:44 I love it.

Brandon Handley 0:45 So, before we get started, how I like to get these going is Look, man, you and I are creators, right? And the universe creates through us and creates moments delivers messages, yada, yada. There's only one message that can come through you right now, at this time for one of the listeners, what is that message today?

Kurtis Lee Thomas 1:18 I'd say the first rule of karma states that whatever you want for yourself, you must do for other people first, you know, so that was like a big realization, you know, for me, and like, I was looking for a mentor, like I wanted, like, this billion dollar, you know, big business mentor to help me you know, you know, build my success. And I sat there and looked in the mirror. I'm like, you know what, I'm not even helping anybody. I'm not mentoring anybody? How am I going to expect to attract that if I'm not even willing to do that for somebody else. And then, so I agreed to bring somebody on, as soon as I started mentoring somebody, boom, the mentor popped in my life. So it's like, you know, we all want we all want why, but like, you know, learn to like, learn to use the natural ebb and flow of the universe and to, you know, give and receive, you know, we got, you know, a left and a right hand, and we get a take as much as we were willing to give, you know,

Brandon Handley 2:09 that's great. I mean, it sounds like, sounds like you get what you give.

Unknown Speaker 2:13 Yeah, you know,

Brandon Handley 2:15 and, you know, I love the idea of you know, you're you're big in law of attraction, if I'm not mistaken. Obviously, you know, we're talking about the secret a little bit today. If you look at the idea of like, the tourists, right, the tourists in the field, right? And like how starts off kind of small from the inside. But as it goes out, boom, it gets bigger, and it comes back to like, no matter what, so like the universe's force multiplier, am I right?

Kurtis Lee Thomas 2:40 No, yeah, it is. Yeah, like magnetic beings, man.

Brandon Handley 2:44 Yeah. Well, so let's, let's, I mean, let's start off with me a little bit, a little bit more about, like, where you're at today, and then we'll just kind of talk about how you got there. Right. So you just finished up, like, this new book on breathwork. And, and you're, you know, you're leading the field by doing like, even corporate training with breathwork. Let's talk a little bit about not that what's going on there.

Kurtis Lee Thomas 3:06 Yeah, man, just I just found breathwork to be, you know, literally, like the most powerful healing modality on the planet right now. You know, and through my own journey, you know, I've done a lot of stuff, you know, many things that were, you know, invasive, you know, like, combo, you know, putting frog poison inside of us. So you can projectile vomit out toxins, like does pretty invasive, and then go into the jungles and you know, drinking Ayahuasca for, you know, seven days, you know, seven times in a row and within nine days, like some intense stuff, and, and, you know, other modalities, healing modalities, like ozone therapy, and like, you know, pretty still biohacking stuff. And like when I found breathwork, like it was the secret sauce, because I had a five year stomach issue that doctors could not tell me what was wrong with me. I'm talking dozens of doctors, and I went to one breathwork and eradicated my stomach issue. And to the point, I was flabbergasted of like, how that was even possible. And then I hit me, I'm like, wow, the reason why these doctors couldn't tell me what was wrong with me, is because my issue wasn't physical. It was energetic. It was emotional. And you know, and this was at the time where, you know, I'm holding on to a certification for life coach, hypnotherapy, NLP, Reiki Master, like I have all these, these tools. And still, I was never taught how to deal with emotions, you know, how to regulate emotions, how to, you know, release the suppressed trauma and all the stuff that we all have from childhood, then, you know, we didn't have the emotional intelligence back then to learn how to deal with it and started becoming compounded because it kept coming in. But we were figuring out how to deal with the old stuff. And I was one of those people and I got messed up. And you know, it started messing me up physically. So, you know, to me, breathwork was the Trojan horse. Like I actually was taken executives and see To the jungles, the drink I Alaska because I love to give people an experience and I want to give people their results that are immediate and undeniable. You know, and in, you know, I Alaska does that. But it's you know, you got to take time out, you got to go to the jungle, you got to get a shaman, but breath works like the Trojan horse, you go in there, just say, hey, let's breathe today, you know? And then these have these profound cathartic releases. And you know, you got dead metal tryptamine Yes, accreting and people are like, you know, dreaming while awake and having these epiphanies and realizations and healing traumas, all from breathing. So I'm like, okay, the world needs to know about this man.

Brandon Handley 5:39 No doubt. You know, I recently, within the past, probably six months, maybe the past year, right? Because I can't I can't understand what happened with the timespace contain with 2020. The breathwork, right. You showed up in my life? No, first, you know, I think most people right now. It's like Wim Hof The Iceman. Right and his story. And then um, you know, another place that it showed up for me was, and I was actually a little disappointed I'm not gonna lie I looked at you know, you listed out these breathworks need to add one is the Japanese breast called like hora h A Ra. And I was reading this book by like, you know, some German dude. And then next thing I know, I got a buddy of mine who's who's just started doing some breath work and, and I had my hands out, I was like, just like everything else, right? Just like everything else, right? Like in this self development phase. Now, I'm cool. I'm gonna be good. I'm gonna be over here. I breathe in pretty well, my entire life. I don't need what you got, right. But what happened was a buddy of mine. You know, he's like, I've been going to the saint is awesome. I was like, Alright, I'll fucking go. It'll be fine. And I went, and mind blown dude. I'm like, Mind blown. I don't have I lost experiences. But I had plenty of other like you call them evasive experiences, or? We'll call it that and plenty of them and many different varieties. And the beauty of this, this breath work that you're talking about is just that right? It's clean. And it's comes from breathing. Exactly.

Kurtis Lee Thomas 7:16 Everybody's everybody's holding pain, how we all

Brandon Handley 7:20 first, sir, for sure. The breath works pretty amazing. And so you were already kind of out on the, in the front end of kind of like this exploratory space, though. With your life coaching with Reiki and the doing the law of attraction, right?

Kurtis Lee Thomas 7:41 Yeah, yeah.

Brandon Handley 7:44 Just so you know, bring that up, because you're kind of already out there in the forefront and having these conversations so what happens like when you when you when you start bringing breathwork to it?

Kurtis Lee Thomas 7:53 Yeah, well, I realized like, once, you know, my whole first book, The world is yours. The Secrets Behind the secret was all about awakening, spiritual awakening. And, you know, it could help anyone at any level, you know, awaken, awaken from their slumber of what's really going on in the world, you know, the 3d world, the spiritual world, it kind of just really gave a good breakdown of the overall bigger picture. And I realized once you start waking people up, you know, the next thing, they're like, Okay, I'm awake. Now I can see all my stuff my lights turned on. Now, what do I do? I mean, like, life isn't all peaches and cream, after you wake up. And I was like, wow, we can always people up and you know, their lifes are better. You know, they're there. Because, you know, when you wake up, you start researching crazy, go pretty much insane, you know, for a good phase of your life. So I'm like, I need to come up with a tool. And of course, like, you know, I didn't, I found it through my own pain and suffering and, and then I found that tool. And that's why I wrote the second book because I was like, it was meant to be like a gift for all the people that I woke up Okay, now, here's how you can like work through all the traumas and stuff and you know, in in the crazy information that you have to disseminate now that you're awake, and but I did realize something like I realized some super important and powerful from teaching breathwork for the last decade, I'm sorry, I'm teaching the law of attraction for the last decade, and I realized that the majority of people self sabotage their manifestations. And what I learned is that you know, I really don't have to teach anybody how to manifest because they're already manifesting. Everybody right now listening to this in this very moment you are manifesting the mechanics are

automatic.

I can remind you that you get to have some clarity you have to remember and know what you want because what you want is up to you but how and when you get it is not okay and then you got to be able to you know, be able to feel the will see the visualizations of it. If you can't see yourself achievement achieving that, then who else can and then if you're able to see yourself achieving Then you're able to feel the emotions. And that is what activates it and sends that beacon out into the universe, you know, and then you have to become aligned with that and take some sort of action that's going to give, you know, be the breadcrumbs to you achieving what you need to achieve. That's the mechanics of it. We do it every single day, the small things and big things. But the reason why people say I want this, I want this, I want this and they're not getting that is because they're self sabotaging. Now, they're doing that for two reasons. One, they're focusing, they're really focusing on the things that they don't want, instead of the things that they do want. And we just kind of do it naturally, because our brains are hardwired that way. And I read a study that said, you know, 80% of our thoughts, humans are negative in nature. And 98% of our thoughts every day are the same thoughts we had the day before. So we're on this shitty hamster wheel, recycling these crappy thoughts every single day. And most of it is worry, doubt fear, lack scarcity. And we're focused on the things we don't want to happen. We're not tapping in to the vibration, of visualizing and feeling the feeling of already achieving and having what it is that you want. That's the secret. It's easier said than done. I get it. But why is that the wise important? Why do we keep doing that? And it leads me to the second thing, and that was the game changer as far as manifesting. And what I learned is that people are self sabotaging because they're still holding on to the junk, to the old limiting beliefs to the old trauma to the past breakups to the partner screwed them over all the stuff that they weren't given the tools of how to emotionally heal and to let go and forgive. Yeah, we know forgiveness is the root of all healing. But How the hell do you forgive? Where's the booklet on that? You know, it's like, I didn't learn that stuff. And it wasn't until breathwork that I realized, wow, I'm my own healer on my own everything. And that's what I want to do. I want to empower people to do the same because that breathing technique goes into literally every Nadi in your system 72,000 Noddies in your system, and clears out all those emotional blockages. This is why you got a roomful of 100 people in a breath work, and you got 85 of them breaking down in tears. I don't care who you are, how bad acid you are. I've done this in prisons, I've done this for NFL players, I've done this for war veterans, you get the baddest people on the planet, you show them this breathing technique, they're going to break down. And they're going to do it gladly, because it's stuff that they've been holding on, that's just so heavy that you just can't hold on to no more because it's weighing you down. I mean, it's it's literally blocking your manifestations. And once you clear out all that stuff, I know you're able to land or take off, like think about it, we all want to take off somewhere, but you cannot take off the you know, those people will not let you take off unless you clear the runway, you know, air traffic control would not let you take off unless you clear the runway. And if you try to land somewhere in life, then that runway has to be cleared. You need to let go so you can let in. And what happens is when that junk still sitting there, you know, occupying the space that you're the good stuff wants to come in. Right? What does that airplane do? It starts circling it circles, it circles until the runway is clear. And that's why we feel like we're going in circles and we're on this hamster wheel. It's not because the the why the reason why people are self sabotage is because you got to let go of the stuff that's blocking the way for the good stuff that you want. That's it, release and let go.

Brandon Handley 13:33 Who cares? I work so hard for all these, you know, emotions and all these things, right? This is my story. You know, this is this is, uh, you know, I am this way because of the breakup, I am this way, because, you know, he kept all my CDs, I am this way, you know what I mean? So,

Kurtis Lee Thomas 13:53 let me say this off of that, that is important, and what you what you're hitting on, and it's the cause of it, actually. Because you know, and the reason why people don't heal isn't because of their biology. It's because of their biography, the same bullshit story, they keep telling themselves over and over again, you know, even if it's true, that's what's weighing them down. That's what's holding them back. And, you know, stored emotions create stories. And when we learn to get rid of those emotions, the stories go with them, and we learn to get rid of the stories, those stored emotions go with it. But I realized, the key with the breath work is it gets the emotions out. And then the stories come up and you realize that bullshit and you stop saying them and you create a new narrative

Brandon Handley 14:42 in your life. That's awesome. So you get I mean, you know, through through the power of breath work, you've got a kind of a release mechanism, a recharging mechanism. And, you know, if you did it right, then you know, your head was supercharged. Right and And, you know, you kind of you got these visualizations and you haven't experienced that. Even if you've done iosa even if you've done copious amounts of shrooms or anything else like that, in your life, this experiences is wholly different than that, right? And it's, um, not a big one to say, elevated, it's an elevated experience, though, right? And, and all senses of the word because again, it's something that you just did just by breathing, you elevated your whole sense of being just in that moment, right? And, and you super, super, really got past your stories and your bullshit, right? And again, um, so you know, what I'm really curious about, though, too, is you talked about your awakening experience, right? I think that what's what's kind of interesting about these awakening experiences is that they can happen at any time in your life. And it sounds new, you're younger than me. But that doesn't mean like, you can't, you can't have that experience, right? It doesn't matter how old you are, you can it can come at any time. So I'm curious to hear kind of about what your awakening experience was. because like you said, when you have that you're like, I gotta go figure out what just happened to me. What just happened to me, and they like, you got to go learn so much stuff, right? Like, alright, well, this, you know, it's totally real, because it just happened. right to you. Right? And so, tell us a little bit about that. And then like, you know, kind of what you did to get your, your sea legs back, right.

Kurtis Lee Thomas 16:33 Man, I'll say that I had the most because I'm a very stubborn minded, Capricorn logical, analytical, so the universe had a knock me upside the head in every direction. And I went from having zero, you know, spiritual experiences, nothing like that would ever stand out. And within a matter of three months, I had every single spiritual experience you can imagine. And because I believe that they happened all at the same time, it caused me this, like, shattered my world, my reality, my life went upside down. But really, I later found out it was turned right side up. And I started researching and, you know, luckily, I had a little money saved where, you know, it shook me so much. I didn't work, I think, for that for the rest of that year. And I was researching literally, probably 10 to 12 hours per day, every day, while I was getting headaches and migraines, it was pretty bad. And, and yeah, I became obsessed, because I have that obsessive, you know, personality. And when I need to learn something, it's like, I got to go all in. And at the time when I was when I was awakening, which is probably 1010 years ago. I remember searching stuff on YouTube. And I searched at all like all the spiritual alien, weird stuff that was there. I got I consumed all the content, literally, all of it, where I was waiting for people to post I had notification I'm like, like, when's people going to post like, I'm searching for that I couldn't find the information. Now, today. I mean, I'd have to live, you know, 1000 lifetimes to be able to watch all the videos that are out there.

Brandon Handley 18:11 Yeah, no, amen. Man. I mean, I saw I saw on your pictures too, like you're hanging out with Bruce Lipton. He was definitely part of my, you know, experience of like, hey, I've got to go out there and learn everything, all the all those all of his videos, and all that kind of content. So what would you say? Like, what were some of those specific experiences that if you could share any of that?

Kurtis Lee Thomas 18:35 Sure. I'll give me like the top the top one. So, you know, one was, I had no idea about the spirit world. And my brother had passed away, and it was sudden, nobody knew who did it. It was a homicide. And I ran into a psychic. And she, you know, I didn't believe in psychics at that time. And long story short, she connected to him, I had a conversation. I didn't, I was very skeptical, then all of a sudden, I'm like, Whoa, this is him. Like his personality was coming through. He was telling me things that only only me and him knew. And I was like, wow, like, how does this How is this all possible? And then he told me like the like, What happened to him? You know, and who did it? And it was pretty wild. And you know, Nobody. Nobody knew. And I was the only person that then you know, had this conversation. And then two weeks later, they ended up catching the people that kill them. And it was the same names he told me in the session. And I was like, What in the world? Like, how is this possible? So now, I'm like, want to learn about like the spirit world. So that was like one part. And then you know, I I started learning about the law of attraction, I read the secret. So now I started becoming more empowered. like wow, like my thoughts can really turn to things like oh yeah, this happened. And then the universe shows you more synchronicities and some weird stuff started happening and then The railway stuff started happening where I started astral projecting. So at nighttime was like, I didn't know your soul can leave your body without dying. Like, nobody taught me that I didn't read that in the manual. And I started having those lucid dreams. And then I actually seen a UFO, several UFOs. And then I learned about something called sci fi, which is Close Encounters of the of the fifth kind where these people from around the world, they'll go to undisclosed locations, and they'll call in extraterrestrial ships. And I'm like, this is a thing, like, like, Where's the How much is it? 300 bucks take my money, like, I just, I'm going like, even if it's like, just to prove myself. And sure enough, Bro, I went to this training in Joshua Tree. And there was a three day training and every single day the ship showed up. And I was like, wow, is this not in the news? How I was not people talking about this, I got a cool little certification, C five, certified basler that I you know, I don't think I can show that to too many people. But like, This all happened in like, three months, you know, it's like, and so now my life is like, completely. And you know, what, and I've mentioned the ET thing, because what really happened is when I when I saw the UFO, you know, it was like, from one moment to the next I was changed person. Because what happened in my brain, if I can articulate it is I was like, wow, you know what? Anything is possible. Anything is possible. And like I realized at that moment, oh, this is why this is the most top secret thing in the government that they don't want you to know is because if people knew the truth about ETS, it literally expands your consciousness faster, and more efficiently than any other truth that I ever had. It's like you just shattered this glass ceilings. And next thing you know, you got cosmic consciousness. So I started to stop thinking in 3d. And earlier you asked me, Why do I call myself man from the stars, is once once I started researching and understanding the totality of who I am, why we're here, what's really going on the you know, the greater narrative of galactic history because, you know, people whose there's people out there still believe Christopher Columbus discovered America. I mean, the guy was given a map that was already drawn out. And when he got there, people were already there. So How the hell did we buy this when we were kids, you know? So it's like, they don't we don't even know. And if you look at the history here in the United States, and you go to China and Russia, you're looking at completely different histories. You know, it's written by the victors. So forget about we don't even know world, US history, nevermind world history, forget about galactic history. And what I learned about it is that, you know, Earth is, is not our home. It's our mission. There's a lot of light warriors, you know, in lightworkers, who came here with a very specific mission. And right now people are stepping into their power. This is why you're here, this is why you have this podcast, this is why you created the space. This is why you have these listeners, this is why we do what we do. And it's been culminating and building up to something bigger,

Brandon Handley 23:04 which is right around the horizon. And, you know, this is this is why we do what we do. Now, that's powerful, right? It's great that you say that right? When you when something is shattered, right? And the illusion of something shattered like that, then that opens up a whole bunch of other possibilities. It just says, Well, if that's not real, if everything that I've been told up to this point, you know, in this one moment, this is a pretty big moment for you. And if that's not real, then your mind blown, right? But the the other part of it, too, is what you do right now with the breath work. You don't even know how to breathe, what else have you been doing wrong? And that's the thing that you do every single day of your life. Right? I mean, that's, I mean, that's Sorry, I got to it that it sort of was like I was like, we're not even breathing, right? I mean, when we're not.

Kurtis Lee Thomas 24:00 When you say that, it's literally like, like, we actually do something called paradoxical breathing. So like, if I have a room and I'm teaching like 200 people in a room and I say, Hey, everybody on the count of three, you know, put your hand on your belly, put your hand in the chest and the count of three, everybody take the deepest breath, and they everybody goes through that. And you see all that chest fills up and not one belly moves. But guess what, if you ever watch a fish or dog or a baby, if you watch them breathe, when they take a breath in, the only thing that moves is their belly. Hmm. And that's how we're supposed to breathe, posted, breathe through the diaphragms and, and hit that power center because the belly is where 80% of our serotonin is produced, is where 80% of our immune system, you know, is so it's like the two things we crave the most is what held that happiness, right? And it's located in the guy without even breathing in there. And we actually do it on purpose. Subconsciously on purpose, if that makes sense, is because the stomach is where we house our emotions. And so what happens is we store a lot of trauma there. So people subconsciously don't want to breathe into that area because they don't want to feel the pain of life. But what happens is, when you do that, you also stop the pleasures and the joy of life. And that serotonin production in your immune system, and you know, we got to breathe full, because when you breathe full you out, you live a full life. And when you breathe shallow, you're living a shallow life. Like, it's all everything is connected to everything else, that how you do anything, is how you do everything. So it's like, you know, when people come to my breathwork sessions, that we talked about this earlier, I said, you know, life life and breath work is like an ATM. You know, you're going to get out of it, what you put in, you know, so we got, we got to do deep breathing, we got to do conscious breathing, and I know it sounds so like, like flimsy. wimzie. Like, oh, yeah, come and breathe with me. It's gonna change your life. Or, hey, come take this walk with me, brother. You know, Brandon, come take this walk, I'm gonna change your life. It's like, Come on now. But when you go to this breathing venue, like we have just socks get knocked off. You don't know what the heck hit Yeah. And your life changed? And, you know, 30 minutes?

Brandon Handley 26:07 Yeah, no. 100 100%, right. You know, just like kind of like all these other things like where you set an intention for the those breathwork sessions and you come out of it. And some of that stuff's already been done. you couple that with the power of, you know, kind of law of attraction and thoughts create things. And when you couple that with know, the emotional outlet and the visualization of a breathwork session, you're like, not hyperdrive, right, like, I mean, it's Yeah, it's gonna happen one way or another. And that's, um, you know, I just think another, another tool that I, you know, I, you know, I'm curious. Now. Now, of course, I'm like, none of us good enough. Now. I'm like, now I'm like, Alright, well, what's next? Right?

Unknown Speaker 26:53 Because Yeah, the law

Brandon Handley 26:54 of attraction, things is pretty well figured out. Right? Like, you've got that pretty much nailed down. I think one of the things that's important too, is like, you talked about it kind of in the earlier right, let go stuff so so you can let other stuff in. Right. And that's kind of like another piece of the law of attraction, like people are holding on to what they've got what already is, right? versus like, you know, the possibility of what could be and they're so afraid to let go of all the things they don't even want. Exactly, right. There'll be like telling you like, oh, that thing, I hate that this thing, I hate this, I hate this, that the other thing, but I'm, I'm afraid to let go of it to get what I actually want. I mean, talk to me a little bit about through that, and like kind of how you get people past that.

Kurtis Lee Thomas 27:41 I mean, that is like the ultimate paradox of life, right? It's like, you know, we want all these things, but we're afraid to let go of the things. And it really comes down to the emotion, if you'd call it that of comfort. We become comfortable with the pain in the brain, the brain is not designed to make you smart, and make you all this money. The brain is designed to keep you safe. And it keeps you safe by keeping you comfortable, it keeps you in a comfort comfort zone. That's why whenever you venture outside your comfort zone, the brains like Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are you doing? It's like, you know, fear, doubt, failure, all these like little missiles coming at you trying to prevent you. And you got to overcome that, you know, and even with breathwork, you know, the hardest part of breathwork is the first, you know, eight to 10 minutes, and all the things that's going on behind the screen of your awareness comes to the forefront, and the brain literally tries to prevent you from continuing the breath work, being to have a breakthrough, because it's afraid, you know, that it's going to be eliminated, you know, you can kind of connect this to ego, we can get a little bit deeper, because I had this philosophy that negative, heavy and negative energy has consciousness, you know, it's a dense consciousness, and its greatest fear that it holds is the fear of destruction, fear of elimination, and I learned this taking people to the jungles of Peru. And when I noticed, you know, to 23 people, you know, you'd have almost every single person would have these stories of how it was almost impossible for them to get there. And it was because, you know, all these things came up that tried to prevent them from getting to the jungle to have this experience. Because that energy inside of them, which is a part of them was had consciousness in it knew it was going to the jungles to be eliminated. And it did everything to prevent that person from having that breakthrough because it feared death. Right. So I think that the two reasons is is one that energy that that's in us, it we're comfortable with it and went to the point where well we're willing to hold on to it because we're afraid of the unknown. We're afraid what's next, even if it could be good you You know what whatnot. And then the other thing is, you know, the consciousness of these energies that are inside of us that are living that we're looking to get out. You know, these traumas have have stone stories in personality. And you know, they don't want to leave. So you got us the comfort, the comfort, and you got the the energy of that that does not want to leave. And when you take those two together, a watch is why it's so hard for people to let go. And the reason why the breath works so powerful because all you got to do is sit down, lay down and breathe. And you push that stuff out of you. It's like, Oh, you Listen, don't worry about just breathe, and it's gonna come up. It's gonna release. You might cry. You might laugh, but it's coming out.

Brandon Handley 30:43 Yeah, man. It's like a second neuro blast. Right. I love that. That idea, though, of kind of negative energy having its own kind of lifeforce, right? It's kind of like, Hey, I'm going to show up no matter what you do. And you have to try like hell to get rid of me, like a grease stain stuff worse. But um, yeah, I think that one of the stories that, you know, you talked about, yeah, I think that's really interesting. But one of the things that you talked about, too, was, you know, how does breathwork help out with anxiety? I think you've got a little bit of a story about that as well.

Kurtis Lee Thomas 31:17 Yeah, you know, they say that we right now we live in the world of anxiety. You know, this is the age of anxiety. And I remember five years ago, I read an article that said, By the year 2020, anxiety, depression will be the number one disabilities worldwide, not even United States. And right now we're in 2020, what are we in 2021. And that has fully manifested that prophecy. And, you know, anxiety is the number one, this was pre COVID these when they these statistics came out. So imagine like, now we got suicide at all time rape, and how I feel why breathwork So, so powerful. Well, let's look at anxiety because I had anxiety and I had panic attacks. And I feel like they're connected. Because, you know, I tell people that make sure you kill the monsters while they're small. Because what happens is stress is what you really need to look out for, because stress, when it goes unchecked, turns into anxiety. And when anxiety goes unchecked, it turns into panic attacks. And, you know, all, you know, kind of stress and anxiety in particular, what is anxiety? Why do we have it? It's fear of the future. You know, so the body, the body tends to live in the past. Right? The minds tend to live lives in the future, you know, the soul wants to be present. So when we have anxiety, it's because our brain is going somewhere in the future. We keep going in the future. We go, here we go. We're overthinking. We're overthinking. And, you know, those thoughts kind of just circulate us. They're, they're around us. 24 seven, and with the breath work, you know, when you go in and start like meditation. Meditation is to me, is an advanced practice. And why do I say that? I say that, because if you try to, in the age of anxiety, if you try to get somebody, which is almost everybody who's stressed out, you know, to sit down, sit still, and don't think about for the next 20 minutes, you're going to be more stressed out the fact that you can't do it. So and what are you trying to do in meditation, you're trying to take all these 55,000 thoughts that you had during the day, and you're trying to calm them into the from the frantic ocean into a calm you know, peaceful Lake without a ripple in it. Cool. If you can do that by praise you great job. Now breath work, you take in this crazy, you know, thoughts, and every going through your head, and you stop breathing and you're pushing them out of your energy field, instead of waiting for them to settle. You're literally taking an action which is great for OCD people, you know, all these like overachievers, and people who can't focus and your ATD ADHD like those people breathwork is great. Because you give you some self something to do. And you just pre Breathe, breathe, and you push those thoughts out. And that clears away a lot of the the anxiousness that people have. And then a lot of the things that have been trapped in the body because the issues are in the tissues that does traumas we store them in the body. And when you start to clear that stuff out, which is causing a lot of the anxiety, it's all it's all connected. And you know, I see people, you know, completely eradicate, you know, their their anxiety or panic attacks, you know, from breathwork. And I was, you know, I was one of them. This is why this is why I'm here. Yes.

Brandon Handley 34:37 I mean, it's all part of what you do. I know you shared on another show the straw method. What's another one that you like, for somebody that's anxious or maybe just trying to get a little bit of focus on the day?

Kurtis Lee Thomas 34:50 You know what the one that I like, is that sounds stupid to everyone but it's actually my favorite is the sigh it's the most over Like underrated, you know, a tool is because if you're just in the insane your car, you just take a deep breath, right? And just let out this loud obnoxious sigh. And you do that, like, let's say three times in a row, your energy state is going to change. Because you have to look at the body like, why does the because we side naturally, you know, why does the body sign naturally, when we sign naturally, it's to relieve pain. And stress from the body it releases is the pressure valve to release pain and stress, have you experienced something really stressful the body. When it's all done, it's like the pressure valve. So release. Now, if you can consciously do the psi, and utilize that pressure valve release, it's like you're gonna change your state throughout the entire day, just by doing that one breathing exercise every single day through three sides at a time, three times throughout the day, nine sides a day, and you will notice a difference.

Brandon Handley 36:04 That's perfect. Because it doesn't take a long time. No, it's not hard to remember. And and, you know, you can do it just about anywhere, right in between. I know, for myself on my day job, right? I mean, I've got today for mattify as on calls from 10am to 6pm. Right, back to back. All right, but there was enough time in there for me to make a bagel sandwich. And I could have also, you know, side three times if I needed to, right. So I could have, you know, just kind of brought myself back to just like, just a couple of times, I'm sure that like I might have done it on calls. And that might not that yeah, that's not cool. So make sure you get an in between calls. So I think that that's, you know, that's really practical, something you can apply, like, anywhere, anytime. So thanks for sharing that. You know, again, a big part of this, too, is like, you know, we talked about, you know, pulling all the spiritual stuff and and integrating it right, I talked me a little bit about your practice on how you, you've been able to do that for yourself.

Kurtis Lee Thomas 37:07 I truly feel that integration is the name of the game. And being able to integrate is the game. Like ultimately, if you look at like, let's say the most spiritual people to ever walk the earth, you know, you call them avatar masters, you know, enlightened avatar masters, you know? And what are these people do? Right? Oh, let's start with an ego Why didn't they ever have Native Americans love the eagle as a powerful Totem because it can fly superduper high. And what that represents is the ability to go up in the higher esoteric metaphysical realms and, and see life from a higher vantage point, higher consciousness, and then also that animal that can fly higher than most birds, it can land the ground, and walk the ground with the creepy crawlers. You know, and that is the integration that is, you know, the avatar, what do they do, you know, they, they get enlightened, you know, they ascend, you know, and they can, you know, they can ascend to heaven, they get all this information of you know, who they are, they don't have to come back. And when they choose to come back and embody in physical form, you know, that's truly where they're, where their power is to take that higher knowledge and integrate it into, you know, physical form and deliver it in a way where the people can understand, because you don't have to talk circles around people, you don't have to act super smart, like look at all the parables and, you know, the metaphors, the simple ones, you know, that Jesus and Buddha used, and as they're around now, because they're so simple, you know, it's because people can understand them, people can relate to them, but they went all the way to those, those higher planes, but they were able to integrate, integrate that knowledge back into, you know, this 3d 3d form. And that's the value that I see around integration. So like, you know, how do I personally, you know, integrate a lot of things I think I do, kind of like, naturally that I don't even, you know, realize, you know, my daily practices, you know, are the breath works, you know, that that's the, you know, that's what kind of brings me up, but it also grounds you, when you start breathing into the belly as well, it does be grounded to the earth. There's things I do outside, I go outside and barefoot on the grass, and I put my feet in there, you know, and I just ground myself I connect to the, to the light in the in earth, a lot of people, you know, they know we have the sun, but they don't know that there's a light in the center of the earth. And I connect to that light and that helps ground me, you know, to Earth consciousness because I used to just focus on like, Oh, you know, I can open my crown chakra I could open my third eye chakra I need these spiritual gifts, you know, and you just focus on all the Shockers and like, I realized that's not what the power is. It's like when you want to manifest, you can't manifest unless your root chakra is grounded. And this is why you see these all these spiritual people they say, you know, they're all in the heart and they like lie in love and you know, the third eyes open but You're broke. And the reason why they're broke is because their root chakra, they can't manifest they're not connected to the earth. Well,

Brandon Handley 40:09 I mean, I think I think it's a number of things, right? Like, it's not being grounded, right, just like you're saying, right now. It's not being grounded and just just not not integrating, right? Yeah, they've gone up. But then you come back now,

Kurtis Lee Thomas 40:25 yeah, you gotta come back down and get back down to everyday life. And you know, what part of that is being human. And, you know, I know you meet some people, and they get a spiritual stick shoved up their ass. You know, and I never wanted to be the that person and even like, the work that I do, and I'm teaching, I'm on stage, and you know, I never want to be put on a pedestal. You know, and the reason why I do is because, well, first of all, there's only one way to go from there. That's down. And, you know, I feel like I make a practice of myself of I won't say humiliation, because I don't I don't like that. humility, humility, humble, I'll say I'll say, transparent, you know, I just try to keep it real. I try to show people, my, my humanity, you know, at all times, and you know, I take this facade of like, Oh, you think I'm this, you know, I'm human. I'm just as messed up as you are, right now. And when I do that, it makes me human. But yet, I'm still I still have all the gifts and all the research and all the things that I'm doing to get me up there and let the shoppers but i don't i never think I'm better than anybody. And I don't think anyone's better than me. You know, I just kind of stay in this place of neutrality. And I think that is that is the Yin Yang. That's the place that you want to be, you know, between, you know, the five, you know, the five D and the 3d, you just stay stay neutral, stay grounded, stay present, and stay real.

Brandon Handley 41:53 Right? Yeah, no, I mean, look, have you seen the website yet? Right. But I mean, it really, it says that, right? It's like, you know, don't come at me with your patchouli, your sandals and your wooden beads were cool. You know, because there's, there's other things going on. And that's that, that crowd, you know, I say that crowd, you know, I'm not trying to say that, that we don't need them or that or this. But it can also happen in another way. Right? Like you and I are talking about right now just kind of like there's a grittiness to spirituality and life, there's a reality to it. And, you know, kind of not forgetting where you came from, right? And everybody, you know, the person behind you could be, you know, more advanced and a different state that you don't recognize, and since you can't recognize that you don't think they're advanced, but they're like, way beyond you, right? And you like, you know, they like No, man, you gotta eat kale or whatever type of thing. So, so, you know, I get it. So one other question too, as we kind of wind this down, I know that, you know, you were showing me your, your drink that your daughter brought him? How is a? How are you sharing this? As a father, you know, as a parent, your children?

Kurtis Lee Thomas 43:05 Yeah, you know, um, so, you know, I'm a single father and my daughter's 14 now, and I will say, because, I think because the chunk of my greatest awakening when I was kind of like obsessed was when she was really young. So she actually grew up around crystals and sage smoke interface, you know, and, believe it or not, she, you know, she has her own connection to angels. And, you know, I used to ask her for like, advice, like, kind of just, like, kind of desperate. And she would give me the best advice that I've ever got. And then she's like, literally, when I started asking her, then she'd be like, okay, I can ask her something, and she closed her eyes. She'd look up, and she'd get the information and she'd come back. And she would say some things that was way beyond her years. And I was like, Whoa, this girl's like channeling some some good stuff. So I kind of had my secret weapon here, you know, the entire time. And to shoot, you know, it's been a blessing to be be able to raise her that

Brandon Handley 44:08 frickin mute button. So, the, what's cool about that is, you know, like, You're, you're not, you're not helping, you're not diminishing her gifts. Right? I you know, I think, I think you probably agree that what you and I have gone through an awakening process is more or less coming back to ourselves, right? Whereas, you know, we weren't shown who you were or allowed to be ourselves growing up, right? Like, Hey, shut up, be quiet. You know, don't do this. Don't do that. And oh my god, you stop dancing like that, or whatever, right? You know, or you can't think this and you can't say those types of things. So what you're doing though, is you're saying Alright, look, come out with your angel stuff. I mean, we've all got something right. What's yours and we Got a connection? How's it going to express itself? And that's how she's expressing her connection to the divine. Right. And, and your instead of you saying, You better not tell anybody about that. You maybe do, right. But like, at least you've got an open dialogue between the two of you with that, right. And I think that that's really important. That's awesome that you're doing that.

Kurtis Lee Thomas 45:19 Yeah, man, it's great. You know, and a lot of the things like, should give me advice on business. And, you know, she told my one of my buddies, would I do book signings, she would come in, she'd set up a little table, and she'd say, $5 for reading, she's got a good making, making money and like, eggs is totally cool. But you told one of my buddies, he need more confidence, you have lack of confidence. And the girl you're with, she's no good. And he's looking at me like, dude, I wasn't ready for that. I talked to him the other day. And he was like, dude, man, your daughter blew me away that day. She was so right. And you know, he, he never forgot that he used that to, to help him. You know,

Brandon Handley 45:56 nice, man. That's cool. Very cool. So man. So the latest book is called,

Kurtis Lee Thomas 46:01 The latest book is called breathwork. detox, how to thrive in the age of anxiety.

Brandon Handley 46:07 And your book prior to that?

Kurtis Lee Thomas 46:10 The world is yours. The Secrets Behind the secret?

Brandon Handley 46:13 Yeah, and where can I get those?

Kurtis Lee Thomas 46:14 Those are both on Amazon. So you can go on Amazon, you can. The first one has an audible, they both have Kindles, and they both have paperbacks. Who is your ideal client? My ideal client? Great question. my avatar, let's say I, you know, I, I love people who are skeptical at first. And then they come in and their world gets rocked, you know, they heal. And, you know, then they they're fully committed there they awaken, you know, and then they start to step into their power. And, you know, then they start to, you know, do what I do, whether it's you know, you know, teacher trainings, or, you know, writing their own book and telling their own story and all the things that they always wanted to do, but never thought that knew anyone would listen or everyone anyone cared. I just like empowering people.

Brandon Handley 47:14 Perfect, man and then the website and where can they reach you?

Kurtis Lee Thomas 47:17 So they go my website man from the stars.com or they can go to my Instagram, which is man from the stars, and I'm pretty active on it. So you can send me a DM and, you know, hopefully, I can get to it.

Brandon Handley 47:34 Awesome. Paris. Thanks for stopping on spiritual dope today.

Kurtis Lee Thomas 47:37 Thank you so much great for having me. And yeah, that website is awesome that you have and I was

Unknown Speaker 47:41 looking forward to this

I am very happy to be able to share this candid conversation on Mediumship with you today as I interview a good friend, Deb Levine.

Please check out her website when you get the chance over at https://www.thesoulwisdom.com/

Brandon Handley 0:00 4321 Hey, there's spiritual dope. We are on today with my friend, Deb Razar. And Deb, I don't know if I've ever told you this, but um, you're one of the main reasons actually, that I am doing this podcast, you were a kind of a catalyst for, you know, help me get the leap into spiritual dope, I'm just gonna let you know that just by doing kind of what you did, I said, that was a friend of mags from way back in the day, like childhood days, she's an evidential, medium, and intuitive. She, you know, she helps people kind of like, connect with their loved ones who have passed. And I'm just kind of reading your bio off right now. And you know, you know, your calling is to serve the spirit world while bringing hopeful, helpful and healing messages. To me, you, your loved ones in the physical world. No, but your medium, right. And like it took you a while to just kind of accept your gifts. Right? And, you know, when you would share this coming out letter magazine, or virtually coming out letter, what's this going to be about?

Deb Levine 1:09 Well, she told me what she thought it was about.

Unknown Speaker 1:11 Now, it's not that

Deb Levine 1:13 there's anything wrong with that, but it's not bad,

Brandon Handley 1:15 per se. So this coming out letter was like, you know, I'm a medium coming out letter. And I thought that was a I thought that was kind of an entertaining thing. And then you had given me a reading that connected me with my grandfather. And, you know, the catalyst, just just so you know. He knows like, Yeah, I was like, well, you're kind of like stepping out and doing this thing. And I was like, What the hell am I holding myself back for? Right? I was like, I was like, the time is now. And, you know, just kind of stepping into it. So you know, I want a quick, I'm gonna start this off with a thank you, you know, for helping be the catalyst inspiration and a part of the journey. So thank you,

Deb Razar 1:51 You're quite welcome. Happy I could be a part of that.

Brandon Handley 1:54 And, and then I always start us off with something, this would be an easy one for you. I always start these off with, you know, source, as you know, divine energy speaks through us, right. And we are here to get today to speak to somebody who's listening in on this podcast, right? And there's a there's a message that can only be delivered right now, through you to that person, what is that message today?

Deb Razar 2:19 The biggest, the first thing that comes to me is to really trust in yourself. If you don't, first and foremost trust in yourself, especially in the field that I hate saying the field that I'm in, but with what I do, it's impossible for me to trust in what I'm, you know, hearing subjectively, from the spirit world. And the most important thing, when I say to trust yourself, it's to really, you know, they say there's intuition, gut instinct, but it's really to trust your soul to trust what your soul is telling you. Because that's where all of the answers are, it's not going to come from anything external. It's not going to come from anybody else, you can ask for 50 opinions from 50 friends and family members. And really, ultimately, what matters is that you trust what your soul is telling you. That's probably my biggest message.

Brandon Handley 3:06 So where do you feel like you You? First, finally learned to trust that for yourself?

Deb Levine 3:14 Well, it was definitely not an overnight thing, as I'm sure you know, because I know that you've done a lot of, I call it self development work. And I think we're all works in progress. And I'm not done, I'll never be done. I mean, until the day I physically leave this earth. But this was a long journey. For me, really, I say, on my website, sort of back to myself. Because the way I'm living now is very true to me, and very authentically, but it wasn't always like that. So I think it was a process of really coming. I don't I would say, coming to terms with but understanding that there's a real duality to me to each of us. And there's, you know, there are a lot of things that we don't particularly care about ourselves, we, you know, traits that, Oh, I wish I wasn't so stubborn, or I wish I wasn't so, so messy in my case. And there were these qualities that I have that I would really shame myself for a variety of things you would a podcast isn't long enough for me to tell you what I used to shame myself for. And then they're there. The other part of that duality are the things that I'm proud of the parts of my personality that that I really feel good about that the things that I'm not afraid for others to see. I feel like a lot of us walk around and, and we show one side of us, we show the side that we think is safe, because we all just want to be seen. But yet if you think about it, we're not truly being seen if we don't really show who we are at the soul level, so I can show you something and make myself look good. And yeah, look at my kids. They're all perfectly dressed. And my house is so neat, which it's not this is just an example, but that may be what I'm presenting, but that may not be what is authentically me. And that was my that was my journey. If you will, that I needed to reconcile the fact that there were all these things that I really wasn't happy with with myself. And instead of complaining about it, and or shaming myself about it, I realized I was the problem, but I was also the solution. And so in order to do something about it, I had to take that journey inward, which no one likes to do, because it is quite honestly the most uncomfortable journey ever. And that's the journey back into ourselves. And it sounds super cheesy, but it's, it's really the truth, I had to come back to myself. And sort of, it's almost like, if you picture like a big toy box, you open a toy box, and you kind of take everything out, you want to see what's in there, I had to kind of assess and look at everything and say, Okay, these are the things that really aren't working for me, or these are the things that, you know, they're just sort of inherently a part of my nature. And I'm not in love with him. And I don't love other people seeing them. But it was a matter of really accepting those things about myself forgiving myself for the things that the things that I wasn't super jazzed about, but also realizing that all of those things that were more, I call them the shadow side. They were also there to teach me a lot of great lessons. And without them, you know, I wouldn't really be able to focus on the light those qualities that were really helping me be my best self, they have to coexist, they can't be mutually exclusive, because that is what makes up is my perspective only but that's what makes up the soul. Both of those the balance that duality. And so that was my,

Brandon Handley 6:38 yeah, I'm with you. Right, the so I've got that jotted down for one second. You know what, I think that I don't do the best job of this part. Right? Let's let's do let's do a real quick from your from your mouth, right? Like you're doing a medium, you are medium. Now, I'm a little bit more about kind of what you're doing in this space, right, just so people kind of get an idea of your spiritual journey and spot right now.

Deb Levine 7:08 Well, thank you for asking that. Because I think a lot of people and as you said, I'm a medium I I'm able to connect with people that have passed, is that the only thing I do not remotely, in fact, it's a very tiny part of what my mediumship is. Now, if you have 10 different mediums on your podcast, we are not all going to work the same way. Now what we what we all will work with is energy, every medium will tell you that. However, there are mediums that will be very, very factual, they'll be able to sit and I'll be able to tell you things about your grandfather, they'll name 30 facts, you know, he was an atheist, and he you know, worked in a in a shipyard and all these things and, and that is to prove that that life exists once the there is the death of the physical body. So am I able to provide evidence that our loved ones still exist? past the death of the physical body? Yes, I am. But what my sessions are really about I had one client tell me it was almost like I held a mirror to her soul. I was like, Wow, that's really deep. I almost call it like a very gentle soul excavation, if you will. Because what I'm doing is I work intuitively, if as much if not more, so then I'm working with spirit loved ones. And this has probably changed a lot. And I don't I can't remember our reading to be quite honest. But I feel like there may have been a mix, but now it's even more. So when I'm reading a client intuitively, I'm telling them about their personality and things about their life. Yeah, you could say well, why would someone want to pay to be told things they already know about themselves. But that's just how we start then we go deeper. And and I like to say I am not a fortune teller. I do not predict anyone's future. That's not what any medium really should be doing ethically and morally, we don't know what holds for people's future because there is freewill. You have the choice to make about your own life. But what I am able to do is to go deeper beneath your subconscious and sort of when I say excavate, gently pull out things that you are aware of, on some level, but on a deeper soul level when I'm showing them to you when I'm holding up that mirror. It's taken in a much different way. I'm almost I'm I feel like a session with me can help bring someone back to themselves. I'm not doing any healing. I'm not healing people. I'm not you know, waving some kind of crystal wand. That's that's not my job. That's not what I do. But with the spirit world facilitating with loved ones in spirit shining in now I talk about the loved ones personalities and the relationship between them and my client. And the healing that can take place when dad in spirit is talking about his personality and maybe challenges that he had when he was alive in the physical world. And dad son is facing something similar. It's almost like this light bulb goes off that the messages that the loved ones in spirit are bringing to my client are those in that moment that are meant for my clients greatest good and soul's highest purpose. And there's a lot of growth and a lot of shift that can happen. It's also I have on my website, I will not see clients unless there's been six months in between each reading. Because look just like when you go to therapy, you're not going to change overnight. I'm not a therapist, I'm not certified in any of that kind of thing. But even with a with a with a session with a medium like myself, what I'm presenting you is going to sit with you for a bit, and it's going to cause you to sort of, you know, there's a lot of self reflection that happens afterwards, there's a lot of there is a lot of healing that can take place. But the healing is on the part of my client, I can't do that work for someone. And maybe the client says, alright, well, that was okay. I'll just take that for what it's worth. And, and I may never hear from them again, I tend to have a lot of repeat clients. After six months, I always say six months to a year. And I just had I can think of three women I've had over the past week and a half. When they came on the screen on the zoom screen there, I could feel their energy had changed so much, it's the best feeling for what I do, because I get so excited for them. Just the wholeness that I felt from them the shift, what they were emanating, I could feel that. And that's the power of the work that that I have been called to do. And that I feel so grateful to do because the change that really can occur, it's almost like I was given this blessing of having this torch, and we all have torches, right but some of us our lights gone dim a little bit, some of us the lights gone out, if I can just assist and help someone like their torch, it's their job to keep that torch going, it's not going to be my job. But the fact that I can help light someone back up again, there's nothing greater to be able to offer to people. So that's kind of in a long way. That's kind of what I do at spirit communication. It's intuitive work, it's all combined to help my client get to a deeper part of themselves. Really.

Brandon Handley 12:10 Wow, that's awesome, right? It's kind of interesting, right? You said you started off with you know, how every medium is a little bit different. And in the image that came to my mind is you know, you just simply different lenses, right, simply different lenses, different perspectives different, you know, I'm thinking of like crystals and prisms even like different ways of refracting that energy. Right? So different way different ways of kind of refracting that love to the, you know, a mirror to the soul. And I think that that's, you know, I don't I don't the term lightworkers not not my jam, but I guess this as close as I can get right.

Deb Razar 12:46 I don't use the term either. But I yeah,

Brandon Handley 12:48 does that mean you know when you're just kind of in circles and everybody's you know, doing something similar as we are we're you know, you are showing someone the light within them right themselves and helping to extract that and

Deb Levine 13:01 everybody has it. And I believe me, I know from experience, there are times when it is so hard to find that within yourself I have the reason I this all came smack dab in my face there were there were always I mean, this is who I've been since I've been a little kid. But the reason that this came out, as it did was because of the the difficulties that I had in the work I was doing with myself that there were serious anxiety and stresses and, and that brought me to where I am currently.

Brandon Handley 13:34 I think what's interesting, too, right? A big part of what you're talking about is, you know, you you you shoved your light down for so long, right and you you shoved your own light down so long. And then you talk about doing this shadow Shadow Work. And what's funny is the more the more I think about the Disney Peter Pan, you know, the more the more I realized that like you know, you know how we lost a shadow. And then so back on like, I'm like, oh, wow, that was pretty potent stuff. Yeah. All right. But the idea of going back in and and accepting all of who you are, allows you to bring that authentic self that you're talking about come out and share exactly who you are with everybody else and just kind of like it's a it's a more powerful but gentler way of being I would agree right? Um, and I also love the idea of like you know, once one you know so one session with you is basically a six month to a year value, right? It's kind of I mean, you know, you know it to spend like you know value into that but that's kind of what it is and then you bring it you know how and that's how we open it up right like you helped me kind of bring me back to myself through the connection with my kind of grandfather and and by showing that like you know, you can just stop into who you are, and just go do your hell with it. I mean, what's gonna happen? Right, exactly right. Yeah. And so you know, lots of stuff packed in there. And then you talk about, like, you know, the shift in energy. But I'd like to hear you kind of, again, where? Before you were doing media, and I don't actually, I actually don't know. So before you were doing medium work, what kind of work were you doing, like what was, you know, kind of paint the picture before stepping into that, and then illustrate maybe your shift and acceptance of who you are.

Deb Levine 15:32 Okay. So before all this, I mean, and I still am, I, I'm a mom. And I used to say, I'm just a mom. And now I've scribbled that word, just out with black sharpie, because that is, you know, from from parenting there, there's never it's not just a mom or just a dad, even I mean, it's a parenting is, you know, and, and I parent with my full self, and I try to be as present as I can with my kids. My background, and where Meg and I went to college. My background is in advertising and public relations, I was always into creative writing, I really thought it'd be cool to be the next Amanda Woodward. Because you know, we were all into Melrose Place back then not that that'll date me. But that was not a really practical thing, because you had to, you know, move to New York or LA, which I wasn't prepared to do at the time. So I fled my East Coast roots and and came out to Arizona, and I ended up working in radio for about four and a half years. And I was on the sales side of things. So I was in advertising technically, but I was on the sales side of things. And my managers, this is funny, I two nicknames I was called at this is great at 23. Everyone would love to be called This Old Mother Hubbard. And I was called everyone's conscience. I didn't know whether or not to take that as an insult or a compliment. It's just kind of funny. Now looking back on what I do, there was there was a lot of CD stuff happening in radio, a lot of my older men cheating. And it was just it was icky. And so here I was the young one in the group, I was one of the youngest. And they thought of me as their conscience, which I laugh now it sort of makes sense a bit. Not that I was an angel by any means. But it's just kind of funny thinking about that. And then, you know, I wasn't happy with what I did. In fact, I was I was the George Costanza of my office, my sister used to crack up because I would act all stress, and I have these deadlines, but I was really going into the coffee room because there was a copy room then. And I was photocopying off of the internet recipes from Epicurious and food.com. I kid you not when I was done in radio, I hope my bosses are my own bosses aren't listening to this. I probably had a binder this thick. I've always been a cook and a baker. And baking has always been a passion. So I left radio and I went to Baking and Pastry school for a year I worked for a wholesale bakery. Then I started working for Jenny Craig, which everyone cracks up like, okay, at first, I'm making the baked goods and I'm helping people lose the weight. The takeaway from this is that I had no idea what I wanted to do. I had friends, childhood friends, people make nose, they were all successful. They worked for wall street, and they were pharmaceutical sales reps and occupational therapists, and they had these big jobs. And they made these big salaries. And I was going from job to job to job and I remember saying to my parents, I just don't want to work at a desk in an office. And my dad said, what does that mean? You want to be a plumber? And I'm like, No, I just I want to help people. And I just want to do something that feels good. And you know, I was just like living on another planet. I had no attention span for anything. Every job I was bored, instantly. pastry school I loved but I didn't love baking for somebody else. And right at the end of my reign at Jenny Craig, I was I was a program director, I did sales, I love the emotional part of that I dealt with, you know, I was overweight on and off throughout my life. So to work with people like that one on one, it really it felt like I was giving back in some way. And then at the end of that I quit a week before I had my daughter, and I haven't been back in the quote unquote, workforce, the real workforce. Um, you know, I started working for myself. So

what I realized was, I was floating around because nothing stuck with me. And you know, like a lot of people do. That doesn't mean that everybody's a medium because you can't find what you want. But I just knew that I wasn't the kind of person that cared a lot about making money, and I wish I had been is maybe I would have, you know, found some big career and stuck with it. But I always I just want to do something that you know, where I feel good about what I do, where I feel like it's really making a difference. And you know, it's so cheesy to say that because so many people say and I was young when I said it, but I would get into something. In radio, for example, they gave me the difficult clients, the ones that had were going through divorce, the ones that someone had died, I made the least amount of money I was the least paying sales rep and some of these sales reps made well into the six figures. I was making nothing but I've been on the phone for hours with my clients and oh, they're breaking up with the boyfriend. They're going to talk to Deb and we'll get another deal out of it because they trusted me My strength I suck at sales. I hate asking people for money. It's so uncomfortable for me. But what I don't second is relating to people. I've always always always related with people my first job when I moved to Arizona three weeks I work for enterprise rent a car. Sorry, enterprise rent a car. crappiest job I've ever had will pick you up. You know, that was the phrase. And here I am. It's 115 in Arizona. If forget about the dry heat, it's freaking hot. And I'm wearing I had to wear a suit with pantyhose. No laughs It was so awful. I was sweating. But the people I picked up by the end, they became my friends to the point where after three weeks, the last lady I picked up. She said, You're here this dynamic personality, what are you doing driving for enterprise, she said, We need someone in our events marketing. Here's my card, call me I'm gonna get you an interview. And I thought, well, she's not going to remember she did. And a week later, I was working for her company as an event planner. So I just kept jumping job to job to job The only thing consistent was that I love relating to people. I've always loved it. So it makes sense. My medium should make sense because not only my relating to my clients, but I'm also relating to their loved ones in spirit who are still people just people not in the physical sense. So they have stories to tell. Yeah.

Brandon Handley 21:15 Not non corporeal presence, right? Yeah. Yeah. So So. Right, I love I love that, you know, kind of hopping around, nothing kind of fits. I love the idea of the and I love cooking too. And here's how I relate to kind of being in the kitchen. You're, you're connected to like a creative source. And that's for sure you're in the creation process during Yeah, so you're, you're, you have to be all in. Yeah, when you're cooking, because otherwise it falls apart. Right. So you have to pay attention. That's one of the things I haven't cooked in a while. And I've kind of missed that, because of that. So, you know, when is the point where, you know, accept the shift into your medium, ship your gifts and say, You know what, it's now's the time to make a go of this thing.

Deb Levine 22:10 You know, it was kind of like the I often I think a lot of people have to get to what, you know, they call it the dark night of the soul. It's so dramatic. But I never know what that meant, until I really felt like I was there. And I say that, obviously, with the caveat that that's different for everyone. I mean, there are people that have really lived through severe tragedy. I have not lived through any kind of tragedy like that. But for my own world, what I was dealing with my anxiety, which I've had since I was a little kid, which what's fascinating is and all of these mediumship courses and workshops and and groups that I'm I've been in and still a part of, I don't know that I've met one medium that has not had anxiety or or does not have, you know, chronic anxiety. Whether it's social anxiety, whether it's because when you're feeling all of the emotions, and you have other people and what I didn't know how to deal with energy. At that time, I didn't know that I didn't need to take on everyone's energy that was around me in a room. And why was I feeling so sad? Why am I depressed? I didn't realize that I was picking that up from, you know, someone in my college class that I was sitting next to all the time. I didn't have knowledge of that then. But what happened was, it really all came to a head for me when my grandmother who was one of my dearest friends, she died at 102. And I felt her Well, I mean, there were a lot of things that have been building up to it. But my anxiety had taken on legs right around the time when she died. And after she died. It was to the point where it didn't just feel like regular anxiety anymore. So I've been in and out of therapy for years. Just you know, because it's been very helpful. I've had a sister that's been ill. So I was always in therapy for one thing or another. And my therapist who I really love and trust, my anxiety was just an awesome I remember her telling me She's like, yep, I was like, there's a mile a minute and she's like, just take a pause and breathe. And she made me take a couple breaths just to kind of slow down and she said while I'm breathing, she's running around behind me and her filing cabinet and she pulls out this like pamphlet of paper stapled in the corner. And she hands it to me and she starts talking and I'm not really listening to her because I can never do two things at once and this kind of explained why and I'm going through it I didn't even read the top I just there were all these questions and asked you to rate yourself on a zero meaning on the low end to a to attend. And everything was an eight or a nine there. Oh, I can't I can't remember I'm having a heart You know, having a hard time finishing a project or getting sidetracked very easily like it when someone's talking to you not being able to focus or or becoming too focused spending too much time on one thing. And I'm like, Well, I'm like, Why are you giving me and we know I have anxiety? And and then she said, That's not an assessment for anxiety. It's an assessment for ADHD. And I was like,

Unknown Speaker 25:11 What are you talking about? Well is

Deb Levine 25:12 ADHD? I mean, I would have like that's something that kids have, you know, when it well come to find out that one of the most Miss diagnosed group of people with ADHD are women in their mid 40s. Because what happens is forgetfulness, that was nothing like memory, that can be hormones, you know, perimenopausal which I am not sorry for the TMI, but it can be hormones, it can be all these things. And interestingly enough, anxiety is a, what's the word I want? is a culprit if you will have ADHD. So it's almost like what comes first the chicken or the egg, the anxiety happens because of the attention deficit, hyper focus disorder. So in children, that h is hyperactive, in adults, it's height for me, it's hyper focus. So I was I was going to bed at four o'clock in the morning. Okay, I'm on my laptop, because I'd seen a woman This is a true story with a cute pair of shoes. And I said, Where do you find them? I don't know. I got them six years ago. Oh, damned if I wasn't gonna find that pair of shoes. I can tell you. I'm online. I'm gonna find those shoes. Meanwhile, I've got the Real Housewives of some city on TV. I'm eating chocolate constantly eating chocolate because I had a problem with sugar. I could not get enough sugar. Well, then it was explained. Of course, you couldn't get enough sugar, because what your brain is missing is that serotonin release. And that's what sugar gives you. My other love. In addition to baking and eating chocolate is exercise and fitness. I've been into weightlifting. Since I was 17 and intense workouts. I was into CrossFit. All that. Well. That's another thing that's going to produce the serotonin and the dopamine release in my brain. So all of a sudden, everything sort of started to make sense. Now, I don't like to use this as Oh, well, I have ADHD. So my house is a mess. I mean, my house is a mess. And maybe it's partly my ADHD maybe it's just because I didn't feel like cleaning it. But what I want people to know and I was in I think, you know, I was in a documentary on Amazon Prime with with one of my mentors amazing medium Suzanne Wilson. She's known as the carefree medium

Brandon Handley 27:17 with the documentary.

Deb Levine 27:19 It the series is called life to afterlife by Craig McMahon is the producer. And there's there's several in that series and the one I'm in I hate the title, though. Sorry, Craig. It's really cringy it's, I want to speak to the dead. It's a little sensationalized, because it's not like that the documentary is not like that. I did not set out because I wanted to try to speak to the dead. I couldn't help it. So I'm just tossing that out there. But

Brandon Handley 27:43 real quick, one of the things that I that I find interesting, right is this relationship to the anxiety and the energy field and the mediums and it's interesting how you kind of tell tell it is, you know, you weren't aware of a way to kind of grab hold of the energy, protect yourself and redirect the energy that was coming through you. Right, right. And I hate to do that, but I always liken it to like, these, like old kung fu master flicks, right. You know, or even like, you know, the, you know, you know, the teacher will appear when the student is ready.

Deb Razar 28:18 I love that. I

Brandon Handley 28:18 love that. But it so happens, right? So, so happens, then you My guess is at some point, you know, you run into a teacher, you have some conversations, and you're like, how do you know so much about what I'm going through? Yep. Tell me exactly. Yeah, tell me.

Deb Levine 28:36 So what I was going to tell you about about the the documentary, The reason I brought it up is because when Suzanne approached me to participate in it, I said to myself, I'm going to do this, but I'm going to make sure that everything I say is my truth. And then I'm completely authentic. Craig did a great job with the with the editing, because on my hands, I'm all over the place that you know, I'm affiliate girl, that's how we talk with our hands. But I did speak about my ADHD on there, and I would I had some people that's Oh, you don't want to divulge that and people are gonna judge you. Number one, I'm not concerned about being judged anymore at all. And that that is a true statement.

Brandon Handley 29:15 And that's what I mean, right? Like, I mean, how liberating is

Deb Levine 29:18 so liberating. You don't? I mean, it's amazing. But more importantly, I needed to speak my truth. Because if one person heard me and felt like this, again, everything I say feel like is so cliche, but if I can help one person, but it's true, and I've actually had so many people reach out to me randomly on Facebook Messenger saying, I really connected to you, because I also you know, I thought that I was just really unmotivated or really lazy or and it doesn't mean that every person that reached out to me feels like they're a medium. This is only a part of my own personal journey. But I it upsets me that there is a stigma and for children as well. This is something that never popped up in My, in my childhood, maybe it was there in subtle ways. I mean, I was a good student, but I had to, like I had to be in a room with no noise. Like I had friends who could study with music on and talking, I needed to total quiet otherwise my mind was listening and taking in everything around me. But I also need to express that I don't define myself like, Oh, I'm an adult with ADHD, it's one little bit of me and I actually have a mentor that thinks that I really may not have it, that it might be just sort of all the other things in my life that that were were big stressors. And maybe that's true, too, you know,

Brandon Handley 30:37 so so here's the thing that, you know, I'll you know, if you don't mind, I'll share my take on this now, right. Like, I mean, we were raised to be distracted. I mean, look at all the different courses, I mean, that we had to take, right look at, you know, the television programming, 20 minute blocks, you know, or 10 to 15 minute blocks, and then, you know, six minutes of 32nd commercials, we were trained to be fucking confused and D rains. Right. And so here's the result. And, and, you know, so the reason, my reason for saying that, you know, you don't have an attention to or like you're hyper active or whatever deficit because that's, it worked. The training worked, which is which is which is, you know, which brings us back to, you know, reconnecting with yourself, which is what you've done,

Deb Levine 31:28 and you literally just touched on something because as you were saying that he like this light bulb bulb went off and it was gonna bring me back around to the point where you use the word distracting, like there have always been so many distractions. And for me, what my distractions were whether they were connected to ADHD or not, I needed at that heightened point of anxiety I needed my distractions where I've never been a drinker. It's chocolate lit like food, it specifically sweets, and I would binge on chocolate, and then I would go into a shame spiral about it. But what the chocolate was doing I was numbing everything I did the online shopping the watching too much reality TV, having it all at once. It was a way to quiet the noise. Now remember, I'm a medium. So there was all this noise, this energy coming from everywhere. Think about it. How is that going to? How is that going to silence it? I didn't know what I was dealing with. So I use every external source it's a good thing. I don't like alcohol and I've never been into drugs because I probably would be you know in a right now. I'm not making fun of that. But I'm being serious.

Brandon Handley 32:31 No, that'd be a definitely be. Just another another thing to pile on top. Yeah. Did you ever try a foil helmet?

Deb Razar 32:43 Or being here is

Brandon Handley 32:44 semi facetious, right, like but I mean, if you if you you know the Gerrish I put on like a foil helmet to stop, like, all the noises right now. And when I don't, okay, you know, like, I mean, honestly, like, I mean, if, like, you know, if, again, if I'm, if I'm having all these things happen, I'm just thinking, like, you know, I could see myself actually doing that at some point, especially like, if all these noises are always coming through, and I don't have a teacher, I don't have a guide. We didn't get that in fifth grade. We got, you know, we got phys ed and other things, but we didn't, we didn't we didn't we didn't train it, you know,

Deb Razar 33:15 to the disease.

Brandon Handley 33:17 You know, that wasn't an option. Right. All right. So so i would i would literally probably see myself putting putting try trying it right. How do I how do I quiet it?

Deb Levine 33:26 Well, here's the thing is that when I say all the noise and the distraction at this particular time, it was I wasn't hearing from spirit people. I it was, it was the energy, it was the emotion it was I was like a sponge. And it's a lot to be a sponge for everybody else. And I've been this way since I was a little kid, if if someone in my family was having a bad day, I was feeling the bad day, which is probably why I ended up in therapy. Each time my sister had cancer, she never complained. She was a warrior. But I is like, I wanted to take all of that on. And I think in a way energetically I did and and so I was, you know, super, super low. And look, there's always going to be stuff, there's always going to be stuff happening around. when I really started hearing from the spirit world when I say that now there are mediums that hear objectively, meaning, you know, oh, I hear voices in my head. I don't hear voices in my head. Just to clarify, and I'm not saying this to joke because they're mediums that objectively hear like your grandfather in the spirit world. They might say like, I see your grandfather behind your right shoulder. That is not how it's come for me. Now. The beauty of mediumship is that it's a self development journey. It's always changing always. So may I eventually at some point, see someone's loved one sitting next to them. I may but as of right now, the way I say it is it's like a picture in my mind's eye if I asked you right now, to remember your favorite scenes from your favorite movie, and like play it in your mind like it's a real you could see right you could see the people what they're doing. You could even hear your favorite line even though you're not hearing it being played in your ear. So when I explain that I see an eye here that is subjectively, okay, that's really important. So it wasn't that I was I was being bombarded by like, Hey, can you get a hold of my nephew? And hey, can you get a hold of my daughter of it? Because that would that would really drive someone crazy probably. And there is a huge stigma that we're all nuts, right? I mean, it was like, you know, I should have come on with the headscarf and, and the others patolli everywhere around me and I just burned my Sage actually did burn a little sage, I do like sage. And there's nothing wrong with petroleum headscarves, and all those things. But the point is, and yes, I'm holding a crystal because my holy and crystal grounds me like I tend to be like very up here. And so it grounds me whenever I am, whenever I need to discuss or when I'm in a reading I typically will hold will hold some form of stone. But there is no one size fits all for mediums. I mean, a lot of people think of mediums they think of the Long Island medium, Theresa Caputo, she's a character with the long nails and she's got like a stick I call it she got the blonde hair and

Unknown Speaker 36:00 but

Deb Levine 36:00 the sad thing is, that probably detracts from the fact that she really does, you know, hear from people's loved ones. But there's not a one size fits all, we don't all look a certain way, if you saw me on the street, you just feel like, oh, there's some, you know, middle aged woman with two kids and you know, living her life. It's not like, you know, my walk around, like with this, and I have, you know, scarves all around me, I just think there, there are lots of stigmas. You know, my add was a soup, I feel like I had to sort of rebel against all the stigmas, if you will, especially now.

Brandon Handley 36:31 Well, I mean, again, you just had to, you had to go in, see who you were for yourself, and make the decision to accept yourself as you are for who you are, and roll with it. Right? Yeah, kind of step into that and, and share yourself with others, which is we know, kind of what you're doing with the soul wisdom, right on your website is what you're doing with offering readings. And so that was a big part of this podcast is, you know, talk about, I guess, you know, kind of merging all of who you are your spiritual self with the material world writer, you know, bringing that out, like, I mean, one of the one of the other things that you hit on too is like, you know, we've got these two separate selves. And I always think of like, you know, the matrix, right, there's, you know, Mr. Neo, you one life, you're blah, blah, blah, this one guy and this other person, and that's so true. Right? So how do you, you know, how do you feel like you have merged the two? And, you know, what's your life been like, because of that.

Deb Razar 37:38 So when you say, how have I merged my mediumship? With now that, that it's a technically a business as well? Yeah,

Brandon Handley 37:45 sure. Sure. Well, I mean, right. But that's, but that's also just, that's another stigma, right? Like, that's just something that you don't want to because you're like, this is helping people category, right? You don't want to you don't want to, like be like, but it is right. It's just, and it's just, it's, again, we wanted to we just want to be ourselves, right? Without, right without classify or label it. But like, exactly those labels, unfortunately, hopefully, other people what. It's hard, it's hard to put yourself on the map if you don't share the map.

Deb Levine 38:17 It's true. It's true. And I, I think what had to happen for me was that once I really decided, and it wasn't choice that I was going to live, to really live my authentic truth in every facet of my life. You know, I have a mentor that says mediumship is not spirit communication, or just intuitive mediumship is, is, is our life. I mean, being a medium is being alive. And being alive means being, if, if I really want to do my soul's work, as a natural medium, I have to work my mediumship the way I work my life. And what I've decided to do, again, this is just I'm one person, you could ask 10 different mediums, they'd say different things, I have to show up every day, as myself, again, I said flaws and all that, that whole duality, because what I'm able to do then is is hopefully, especially in a session with me, allow other people to see that it's okay to show up as yourself. You don't have to be X, Y or Z to be enough. And again, everything I say is written in every book everywhere. You know, we are enough as we as we are and I you know, I used to hear they go oh yeah, I'm enough as I am, whatever. But if I were only skinnier and apparently had more, you know, this that

Brandon Handley 39:38 shirt No, you're right, right. It is all in these books. And it is a number of these things. But it's a it's a different level of understanding. right there's, there's there's the literal understanding, and there's the outward facing physical application of this shit, right? You're like, Oh, I'm enough. Yeah, I showed up for work and I sharpen 72 pencils, whatever. Right, I'm going off gay, but like, you're the I'm enough is like, you know, that's the inner work that you're talking about it most

Deb Razar 40:07 important work,

Brandon Handley 40:08 right? It's it's the, you know, the, the, you know, the most neglected. Right. Yeah, yeah. And then and then different levels of understanding, right? Because not for nothing, you know, four years ago, you know, if you'd said that this is what I'd be doing or any of this stuff, I would have laughed at you.

Deb Razar 40:27 Me to me? Yeah, yeah, I get that. So, go ahead. No, I

Brandon Handley 40:32 mean, just I mean, that's, it sounds cliche, right, only because it's real, unless you've experienced it subjectively, because you cannot, unfortunately, have somebody else's experiences for them, like you were talking about earlier. You know, you can't do the work for somebody else. Now. You can't show up inside of someone else for them.

Deb Levine 40:57 Now, you can. No, but what I think what I think did it for me, you know, when I first like when I could not turn off the gifts when I was getting all this information about people that had passed, for people that I even like sort of knew, but didn't really No, I mean, it's it's funny, and Magnus is, I've gotten in touch with some some people that I've known since childhood that we've known since childhood, because their loved ones came to me and I, I was pretty proud of myself for having the coneys to reach out and say, Look, I know I haven't seen you in 2030 years. But hey, I'm able to communicate with the dead and I've got your wife or your dad or whomever with me, that for me, took not staying small anymore, because oh no, what are they gonna think they're gonna think I'm weird. I didn't care. I didn't care what they thought, because if I knew that their loved ones had an important message for them to receive. Now this is before i was i was i really sort of had honed what I'm doing because there is ethics and morals. Although we don't take the Hippocratic oath. We don't. We're not therapists, we're not doctors, but it is so critical to have ethics and morals in in what I do. Because people are trusting me. I mean, when you when you have a session with me, it's almost like I say like, you know, you can try to bullshit your therapist. I've tried that once or twice. And we want to sort of show our therapist like the good side, which you can't get help that way. But still, it's been done, people kind of try to BS, the therapist, when you're coming with me, it's almost like we're now we've now been, it's like having seen your therapist for seven years. Because all of a sudden Our relationship is like boom, because you can't, you're not going to be able to, to show me something that isn't true, because I am an intuitive. So I'm going to know that it's not true. Now I also my job is also to tread lightly. If I know that someone, someone can't take the information that I'm about to give that, or they're not ready to hear it.

Unknown Speaker 42:48 Hi, buddy.

Deb Levine 42:49 How are you? It's so good to see you. I got to chat with him after. If I am. My job as the medium is to be able to gauge whether or not my client is really ready for this gentle soul excavation, I will never force on someone shoved that mirror up to your face. That's the job of the medium. And there can be ego involved. And there is is zero place. I had a mentor say the first two letters and medium don't belong there. Because this is not about me, this is not like a look at the pony trick I can do. I'm not doing anything I am being I am being my authentic self, the channel, if you will. I'm a conduit as a better word for it. And my job is to be open to not impose any judgment to not impose any meaning. And to listen to what the loved ones in spirit have to say, to make sure that my client receives what they need. When I first started this when I first started my development, I was so excited about my own experience. This is so cool. Oh my god, that guy just told me where his ashes were. And the wife just said, No one knows that. And was I patting myself on the back. But no, but I was like, This is the coolest thing ever. Oh my gosh, how is this happening? But guess what the experience is not for me. It's not about me, I have nothing to do with this. Once I got over that that initial excitement. It's why my mediumship changed. It's why my my sessions are not merely spirit, contact communication, where I'm just giving a lot of evidence. Because what happened was when I really went in and did that soul work on myself, when I really learned to accept being in my truth. I could then accept this the truth of the Spirit people had for their loved ones. And I could help then my client discover if they hadn't already their own truth. That's the only way it's that triad of energy. And that was when it almost came full circle. It wasn't just like, this is so awesome. I'm talking to people that aren't alive anymore. But yet I knew all these things. That's not what this is about. This is so much deeper and there can be so much healing and soul work done. A medium ship session, if your listeners take nothing away, it is not just spirit communication it can be. And if you are, if you have a loved one that you're really hoping to hear from, I, the medium has no control over that the spirit world knows what my client needs. In that moment, as I said, for their soul's highest purpose and greatest good, they know, it's only going to be hopeful, helpful or healing, there's nothing else that it's not dark or fearful. I don't there's no fear around what I do I have the utmost respect for this

Brandon Handley 45:31 calling, if you will. So I mean, it's almost not almost I mean, you are tuning into that connection as a medium for your clients to, you know, pull that in through the universe. And, you know, if you've got your ego involved with it, there's it's almost like you're attaining the water or near the source, right? And then, as you do this mediumship connecting the source, you know, and and, you know, translating it right into words, for for, for for the person who's there, your client, essentially, you're reconnecting them the source, right?

Deb Razar 46:12 It Well, except, if you look at it this way, again, just my perspective. We all have the connection to source because it's within us, right? Yeah. So if they've lost that connection,

Brandon Handley 46:23 it's kind of like, you know, I don't know what a jumpstart right for your heart, right?

Deb Razar 46:28 jumper kit, your jumper cables for a car even? Yeah,

Unknown Speaker 46:31 yeah, that's exactly,

Unknown Speaker 46:32 yeah, yeah, your batteries there. It's just like, drained or neglected, or

Deb Razar 46:36 a great way of putting it. Yeah.

Brandon Handley 46:38 Right. And so that's, I mean, that's awesome. Right. And again, the, the, the experience I had with you was, was amazing, always grateful for that. And, you know, I think, you know, I know, I was on my way as I was just doing some things that but I wasn't doing them in 100% authentic manner, and in a way that I was still masking myself, right, and what you did kind of allow me to just obliterate the mask and say, fuck, let's go for it. And

Deb Levine 47:08 that's the greatest thing I could hear, by the way from, from someone that I've worked with, because, and I've told you this before, because it's all the ripple, we all have that ability to give back you are doing, you are really doing so much good. You have that energy about you where you're so curious, you're just so open you you want people, you want an understanding, and you really get excited, and you want that understanding to be shared among other people. So the fact that I was able to kind of give you that little spark, look what you're doing now for so many other people. So that's what I love, we are really all connected. Again, I'm gonna sound super cheesy. But if we can see each other as that we're all extensions of one another and not look at each other as like, Oh, you have that I want that. And it's not about that. I mean, we really can be support for one another and be each other's cheerleader. No matter what we do, no matter what business industry calling, there's not one more special than the other what gifts someone has, when someone comes to me, if their gift is there, an electrician, and they're they're so good at and they're helping, you know, out here, let me tell you in Arizona, your AC goes out your host in the summer, right, it's 117 degrees, that someone's gift, and so long as they're living authentically, they're living their truth, they're passionate about it. If I can help spark that in other people, then as I used to say, like, I just want a job where I can help people that I really feel like I'm getting to live my very fullest life in that sense. And that is, that's really the greatest gift that I've ever been given through all the shitstorm that i've you know, kind of had to get past to get to this point. Every bit of it was worth it to be right here.

Brandon Handley 48:47 Well, you know, some people never get to that point, right? It's not about how long it takes you to get to do get there. Right. And and, you know, Meg and I certainly have the conversations where I believe that more people get there than not it's just males out there there's well there's not an understanding of where they are because of the Western you know, kind of mindset and it's like oh shit, I'm I'm gonna need like Percocet I'm gonna I'm gonna need a whatever this that whatever's going on here has got to be shoved right back let's

Deb Levine 49:19 commit let's do whatever we can let's find ways to numb it and to not to feeling the pain no one look it doesn't feel good to feel pain whether it's emotional pain or physical pain we all as human beings want that. Whenever pain starts, what can I do to stop it?

Brandon Handley 49:36 Why would you so I mean what I'm looking at those isn't isn't pain. It's that that this reignition of source and energy and feeling it kind of like you were feeling it all coming from everywhere and and not knowing what it is but since you don't know what it is being fearful of it and trying to block it all out. Right. So yeah, keeping yourself disconnected from source and

Deb Razar 50:00 Yeah.

Brandon Handley 50:01 Right. But but but simply just because of all the stigmas and all this other stuff anywho that's not what you do what you do is help people connect to that, which is already there, show them kind of like their own inner hidden city of glory or whatever right and

Deb Razar 50:18 I need you to write my website and

Brandon Handley 50:22 so you know, you help people you map it out or at least you know, show it so that it is possible and you're doing this on the soul wisdom calm. And then you know, tell us a little bit more at least know what's offered on the soul wisdom calm and is that the only place they can connect with you? Where should they go if they want to connect with you.

Deb Levine 50:42 It's vessel ism, th e Sol, s o ul wisdom, calm all one word that is the best place, there's a way to email me directly from Matt, it has my business number is on there as well. It's interesting, but as I've developed, I've whittled down my website was pretty small to begin with. And I've whittled it down because I used to have a medium ship offering a mediumship session and an in and an intuitive only session. So if someone was not interested in hearing from loved ones in spirit, they just had like, they've got life issues, they've got things on their path, they really want to get into the meat of I took that away, because what I realized was, if someone's coming to work with me, they have to have some sort of trust with me off the bat. as of lately, I mean, I don't market myself, it's all been referral. I mean, thanks for the documentary with Suzanne Wilson really was a big help. This I was on your friend, Mona Lauren's podcast. That was that was a help. But other than that, there's not really a way that people hear about me. So typically, they've heard from a friend or a loved one. So they come with sort of a sense of trust. If they're coming to me with that sense of trust, they have to trust me, but more so they have to trust the spirit world. Because I my hope is that my clients come the best way to get the most depth out of a session is to come as open as possible. Because if you're open, then you are going to receive what it is that you need, which I can't know because I don't know my clients before I work with them. They're strangers to me, we leave usually as friends, but they always start out as someone I've never met. I don't like to know anything about the people I work with. If they're open, now, I just say I offer a mediumship session a mediumship session, which is what I was saying earlier is not just talking to dead people, a mediumship session is talking to the dead but it's also intuitive information. Is it more one and less of another? It may be we never know because it's different every time could I call

Brandon Handley 52:36 it like continuation of energy instead of the dead right like I mean yes it's really I mean it's not dead

Deb Razar 52:44 Yeah, there is no there there is a there is no Yeah,

Brandon Handley 52:46 yeah so so I mean just energy continuation of my grandfather. Dead does

Deb Levine 52:53 sound It sounds very harsh. There are people that say well, dead is meaning like the physical bodies die but I call I really call them spirit people because their their spirit hasn't gone anywhere the essence of who they are that that is still very much alive. So on my website again, it's it's it's very it's slim. That's my offering. I am and I had changes to I do have I am certified in sound healing. And for a while I was offering sound healings, then COVID hit and it's possible. I've done sound healings over what do you call it Facebook Live, you know, just work like private Facebook Live groups. But I find that I use a gong and I use a crystal singing bowl and I've got a rain stick and I've got a wave drum. What I find is my sound healing is really an extension of my mediumship. So that's a whole story for another podcast but sound

Brandon Handley 53:44 so so that's I mean, that's that's a basically a part of your offering, right part of the suffering. It's

Deb Razar 53:49 not on the website anymore. I took it off.

Brandon Handley 53:51 Well, I mean, let's say that you and I are talking and intuitively. You're like you know what? You need some noise, bro.

Deb Razar 53:59 Yes, I need some noise. I gotta get that gong out for you. Yes,

Brandon Handley 54:03 no. So real quick, so I'm just gonna I'm gonna wind it down here Devin, you and I can keep talking right so everybody you know go to the soul wisdom.com checkout and see what she has offer there. My Instagram You

Deb Razar 54:16 mean to tell you that sir. Instagram is so wisdom. So wisdom easy. Yes. Thank you. Thank you for that. You

Brandon Handley 54:24 know what I was always saying like so was the MAS or something like that. But it's so wisdom a wisdom AZ so

Deb Razar 54:30 wisdom was taken so AZ I'm in Arizona, so

Brandon Handley 54:32 that's where they're not sure. Yeah, that makes sense. No, sorry to interrupt. No, you're good. You're good. So you'll connect back with it. This is something that you're more interested in. I'll have links also in the podcast notes.

Deb Razar 54:49 I appreciate you having me on. It was fun.

Brandon Handley 0:00 And welcome back to part two of chapter seven. Are you ready to succeed? By Sreekumar Rao, and we are picking up where we left off. And that is the idea that it's okay, that the tree is cooking. Right? So what happens? What do you do when the universe gives you something beautiful, yet unexpected? Do you know you take a look the rainbows and the trees and all the beautiful VISTAs and you say, Man, that would be that would be better if it was over here to the left, right? That Rainbow is missing a color? Or do you just kind of take it and accept it as beautiful and wonderful. He talks a little bit about the idea of, you know, here, here are some of our, here's, here's some of the other ideas here, as you know, you don't see the world this, this line, right? I think is pretty, pretty impressive. And true, right? You don't see the world as it is, you see it as you are. So the idea is, when something is good, like the rainbows and the trees and the beautiful VISTAs, you want more of it. And then when something shitty is happening, either you get a flat tire, you're stuck in the rain, and it's cold outside, and you can't find the tire jack, that's something that you just want it to end immediately. The funny thing is, is that both our form of clinging, right, both of these ideas of good or bad, wanting more or less of it, our sense of attachment, right? Which, as we all know, if we are falling long, anything that's happening here, and especially you know, Buddhism, right, that that's a form of suffering, you know, attachment leads to suffering. So if if you don't just kind of accept it as it is, maybe that crooked tree, just see it, there's really nothing that can be done about it, you just kind of recognize it and see that it is a crooked tree versus Ooh, that'd be a lot better. That was fixed, right? That type of thing. So the idea then, is that maybe what you don't even realize what happiness is? And he posits that the idea is that happiness is and are the moments where you are free from want. How great would it be Oh, so those are the moments that you're free from want. This is the moments I mean, and then I went back up to the top there, where there's where there's no pressure. Or if you don't want any more than what you've already gotten, you're content with what you've got, and you're not afraid of losing anything. Right? Because that's that's a want as well, then, then you you're happy here in a moment of that could be a moment of happiness is as it springs from acceptance of the universe as it is. Right. Which I think is pretty cool, too. And then the idea is there's absence of constraints, right. But I still I think, I think the biggest part of this one, right? You don't see. You don't see the unit. You don't see the world as it is you see it as you are. When you talk a little bit about this talks about he gives a little story about an alkali and a master. And how he's like how the how the Aqua it's like a dog with a bone. Right. And the idea is that even you know the dog is chewing on a bone and it's cutting his mouth and the blood inside of his mouth makes them feel like there's meat on that bone. And the dog keeps chewing on it because he feels like there's meat on the bone. Right? Yeah, the idea is that he says here peace and contentment and joy seeker inside says master but you keep hunting for it on the outside the worldly things you pined for so desperately and collect so graciously wound you in some manner the bone cuts the dog same as the bone cuts the dog but you think pleasure you derive it from those objects that you've got, right? Like I said, so the things that you want are the things you've already got. So you cling to them so hard, but in reality, right at the things if if the things that you're so afraid to let go of are making you upset, then who owns what right to the things around you or you get that you get the idea. So he says hey, you know, make changes by all means this next piece of the

chapter and talks about acceptance And how it's it doesn't mean that you just accept the things that are out there, you still go ahead and you fight the good fight, right, you're still out there working to bring out something beneficial, that is better for everybody involved, that doesn't mean that it doesn't mean that you just accept everything that that's out there, you're still you're still working, working for everything. uncouple your well being from the upshot, right? Even if the outcome is something, you've used the disasters, right, I think the idea that uncouple your well being from the upshot is that, you again, what you're what you're looking to do, and he says, you know, even if the outcome is something that you've used disasters, this is a learnable skill, right? If when you are working to bring out something that's beneficial for all, if it doesn't turn out, okay, then the idea is, you know, the the effort and the intent towards that was something to be a benefit. And the idea is, if you're, if you can, like it says on couple of your well being from kind of the outcome, and you're not emotionally involved, then you're not going to be you're not going to get upset, you're just gonna understand and maybe take the lesson away from the objective outcome says, references, recent outnet recent email, guys, if you're not on his email list to Sreekumar Rao email list, then then check it out. I forget specifically which one this is the email, but I think that it had to do with things that it had to do with I think it had to do with like, income and making money. And how is basically, our emotions are tied to some outcomes and how things are all working out. But um, again, I forget exactly what the email is get on his email list. And he get he gets out some pretty good emails, usually weekly. So again, if you don't know how it's going to working, you just give it your best before intentional intention, and benefits of all, you can rejoice once once it's over, I've got kind of Henry Ford listed there as well. You know, his intention was to benefit all right, it wasn't he had success, because he was trying to benefit all he could have made things more expensive, but he was looking to help the greater population, and not simply just himself, right. So this is the email, I think that it references more, so it will come if you don't seek it. The idea is to do to do to do this is probably the best line from it, what you seek is within your grasp, but you can only reach it if you let go of what you're clasping to so tightly and this kind of moves up into even the uncouple your well being from the upshot, right. So oftentimes, what we're looking for is right in front of you. And your says here, you're bound by the things I said, again, you're bound by your emotion to the desired outcome. And you're bound by the the, I would dare say call it the narrow vision of how you think it should turn out, and how it should work. But oftentimes, it's already kind of working out right in front of you already. And you're participating in it and it's happening through you and for you and sometimes to you. But you don't see what's happening because you've got an emotional investment to an outcome that you've pictured working out in a certain way. But it will come if you don't seek it to the to the to the let's see what he's got here. In this story times got a really good story. I love the story in here. Just basically about a basically about a king who runs in Osage Sage says hey, he, the king sees that he Sage is super wise. And he wants to Sage to come and teach him the way you know, wisdom of his ways. comes in and sage says Hey, I'll come in and I'll I'll do it. But you've got to give me everything I'll ask for without getting, you know, freaking out at me. And you essentially it gets to a point where Sage does something so that the king gets pissed off and he flies off the handle and stays like alright, I'm out. Right and then the idea is

Sage says he's out he rolls out. And he the cane says no, no, please stay and the king and the sage says, Look, man, I told you, you know, I was gonna roll out and here Here's the deal, I do have something to share with you walk with me for a while, like a week or so as, as I roll out, and I'll share a couple things with you. And what he does is he ends up sharing with them that that, that the sage was still happy, regardless of whether or not he had the things that he had, he was happy when he was the sage with nothing, and he was happy when he had everything as a king. And then he was just as easy to roll out of the kingdom. And, and go back to what it was, and have what he had he was he was happy, and content with the life that he had, whether it was with seemingly little or everything. And the idea to is if it will come if you don't seek it is like the idea it will just come right. Play that like a cat, right or a dog. And you know, as soon as you turn away, it just kind of comes up on you. Right? So exercise list your accomplishment, go ahead and go through, I think that's pretty self explanatory. Do that. And then he's got the exercise corollary, this was one that's still a challenge for me to do, and actually did a little bit of it on an Instagram story, did a little bit of dancing, right. But the idea is, what is something that you truly enjoy something that really brings you joy. And it doesn't, it's not directly aligned to anything, right? It's not directly aligned to like, like, for example, personal growth is not aligned to doing anything better. It's simply aligned to you feeling good and enjoying life. Right. And the idea is that, do it right now, don't stop, stop and wait, and then be grateful for that opportunity to do it. Let's see here. And then yet and then do it now, give thanks to the universe for allowing you the time to do it. And by the law of increase. Right, which we talked about it at some point. And of course, we know the universe is a force multiplier, by the law of increase, more of those moments will appear in your life. The other exercise is dropping destructive habits. Bob last really quick, note the damage being done by your behavior. And this is something that you can work with your kids, if you've got children right recommend same thing. Recognize that you are not a behavior or therefore err, go when you're talking with your kids separate their behavior from them, right. Don't beat yourself up again, with children don't beat them up, though separate them from from the behavior. Admit that you have some bad habits, simply be aware of when you're working on those habits. And when those are being triggered. And then just anytime you bring awareness to anything and you recognize it, you begin to you begin to you begin to kind of lessen it, you begin to do it less because you're you're intentional. Your intent is to drop those destructive behaviors, it's got a pretty cool exercise too along the way. Breathe in Golden strength, giving light. He says also go into witness mode at this point, you know, so breathing golden strength, giving light and breathe out negative emotions that in the visual is leaving your body in a dark stream. I personally still have a challenge with this one. I'd like to breathe in Golden strength giving light and breathe more of it out. And more of like a filtration system. Right. So I could I certainly I don't want to I don't want to. I don't want to put any negative energy out there, I guess is my challenge. Sure. I'll get over it. Let's see. And then finally, the exercise of your ideal life. We'll let this one run a little long. Understand that your ideal job doesn't currently exist? Are you quite literally as co creators with the universe you have to create it? And then really the idea is how can you do something or achieve something or find something? If you don't know what it is just spending some time writing down and writing out what your the vision of your ideal job is.

You will have better chance of succeeding. If you clearly know what it is you're trying to do. Right? So so many people do this The one person that comes to mind each time I think about this is Darren Hardy when he talks about his ideal, his ideal life partner, right, his wife, and how he would write about her, like, all the time and like, coming into his life and what she would be like, and what kind of why should we be. And eventually, at some point, he found exactly those things I can tell you to off my own personal experience, each time I go through this exercise, I see pieces of it come through in my life. And And the thing is, you're essentially just kind of tuning your, your algorithm, and you and your spirit and your whatever, to get aligned to it to recognize it. I've taken all the questions that he's got here that are prompts to do this exercise. And I posted them on spiritual dope, I'll post them on this podcast as well. So you can go it's on jotform. But I put it on side of spiritual dope. So you can go you can you can put your you can answer the questions, you and you write it out as if it's happening right now as if it is present tense. And you just follow the prompts and right through it, and I've made it so that you can save it as you go along. Because it's pretty long. I've also made it so that you can send it to yourself, and and you've got a copy of it. helpful hints. I've got written down here, just fucking do it, right. And if you've got writer's block, just sit down and start writing don't don't on there's nobody's judging you. Except for you. This is yours, your own your very own on the end. Also, you should be doing this one time every four to six months, refining it, right, getting better at this and tightening it up. Again, just getting getting more clarity on your vision, getting more clarity on the job that you are creating. And you know, I love it because we realize this isn't going to happen. Immediately. This he says it's your life's task to assemble all the pieces and the idea is that it truly Could take the rest of your life and that's okay. Right is the ideal, your ideal job. And if it takes you a lifetime to create it I don't know if there's a kind of a more walk well, I mean, are more worthy endeavors and what you're doing those inclusively making your life as good as you can make it by having a job or the work that you do that is corresponding to all of your life's ideals, I suppose, if you want so that is God that's gonna close it down for you on Chapter Chapter Seven of Are you ready to succeed? I circumaural we've only got two more chapters left. They are you know, I think that pretty potent. Chapter Eight is actually pretty short. Doesn't mean there's not a lot packed into it. If you've enjoyed it so far reach out to me let me know your thoughts. love to know which you know, you tried out and use exercises and maybe you run out and grab the book for yourself I know that I've I this is one of the books that I've sent out many times too many different people and always happy to have a conversation about it's Matter of fact I'm just about done having a conversation with somebody else around the book. And she and I just have had a discussion right now what are the what's what's the impact been on her was impacted on me through reading this book? Have you done the exercises so you know, we we kind of hold each other accountable to actually going and doing the things that's where the true value comes from the true value isn't reading these things and being able to spout it out or even just sharing out this conversation the way that I have and with you the true value of this comes from actually doing the work. Alright. Take it easy. We've got plenty of other podcasts coming your way. I will also be saving my mind map right What am I use an X mine the way I mapped these out and I've got the nodes. These are also videos created as I do the podcast. So

Brandon Handley 0:00 What's going on? What's going on spiritual dope, how have you been? I have been pretty busy. pretty busy lately. So that doesn't mean that there's never enough time to be doing the doing the podcast. That'd be being said. I was doing some other things. And I got busy not doing the podcast, I also been doing 100 day mailer program, so far as to say that at this point that that is not 100 consecutive days. turns, it turns out that that's going to be exactly what it sounds like 100 day email program. If you're not a part of that, reach out to me, let me know. And I'll connect you with that 100 days of being on a spiritual journey. But I shared something in there about Ani, the Franco big fan of Alan Franco. And she's got a live album. And in that album, she just talks about life kind of happening to her and she says, I got kind of distracted right now. I'm always entertained by that. And that's exactly that's exactly what happened to me. While I was in the process of this, and and secondarily, when I'm doing these, I don't want to move forward until I'm doing the we're doing the are you ready to succeed? By Sreekumar Rob doing the chapter seven. And I don't like to move forward until after I've done at least at least one of the exercises, if not all of the exercises that are mentioned within chapter and I hadn't done it. So that was why I didn't do any podcasts. We got, we sold our house, we did a bunch of move in, downsized, outsized, whatever size and just made a move to a to a newer place. And right now we're also in transit. Right? So we're we are at an Airbnb for a month, people are always like, well, that'd be great, man, let's I want to be a nomad. Maybe, maybe not depends, depends on how you want to chase that down. But so far, it's been fun. We're having a lot of fun, and we're enjoying the journey. And I want to say thank you for always being here. appreciate the fact that you keep checking in and seeing what's going on. And, you know, let's finish this thing up, right? I know, I forget when this started, but we've been doing it for a while. So we are on chapter seven of Are you ready to succeed? By Sreekumar, Rao subtext is unconventional strategies for achieving personal mastery in business and life. And this chapter is called freedom and happiness. They ain't what do you think? He starts off Sreekumar starts us off with a with a with a pretty cool story. And it's kind of one that hits you in the gut, especially if you're a parent. And basically, basically, it's a story about a guy who is doing his job, right, who's dedicated more of his life to his job, then then, let's say his family, and he's got himself into such a place where he can't leave. He can't, can't leave the situation, right? Like he's deemed integral to whatever the situation is, is going on. And his child is about to give a final performance at school, and he's going to miss it, and he's going to miss it, he realizes that he's missed all the performances, and that he essentially where he is right now, he feels like he is shackled in his life. And if I can hear from any of those parents out there, going through this journey, who understand and realize that they, they, they're missing out on some of their children's life, because of the time that they're dedicating to their, to their jobs. We go into name moves on into freedom, right? So the idea is that what is your definition of freedom? Right, what is your definition? Trying to think? You know, what, what does he put in here? One of the things that he puts in here and I've got it highlighted in the book is, you know, have you thought about the idea and the concept of the freedom from the constant desire for more How would it be wouldn't be nice if you felt free from the need and or desire to want more, more than what you've already got in your life. And, you know, I personally think that that's the one a big one right?

When you if you could drop the the idea that anything else that you You're wanted, and be happy with what you've got and where you are? How would that make the war with the pressure in your life come from then? Where would the pressure in your life come from? If you dropped the desire for more? Then he moves on. Right? So the next part of the book chapter is stone walls. Do not a prison make. The idea is that you're just like, kind of imagine the perfect day where where are you? What do you do? What would you like to be doing? What is your work? And are you pleasantly challenged by it? Do you get the opportunity to hang out with a friend whose company you actually enjoy, where there's no tension, no sense of upmanship? Maybe never the day you get to watch a show that is purely instructive and enjoyable. You end the day with a sense of ease and wonder that you have the life that you do. And the question he poses is, Do you recall last time you had this kind of day in your own life? And do you feel like if you would like that it's possible, right? It's definitely possible to have a lifetime of days like this. The The idea is, and this is where the the chapter comes from title title, this sub chapter is, is you will need to escape from the prison you're currently in. Right. So whatever it is that you're doing right now, it's kind of it's kind of self imposed as kind of the idea and he illustrates this, in this next exercise, which is probably one of the toughest exercises in the book and the exercise is do nothing, do nothing for 30 minutes, sit, meditate, no humming, no audio, no other thing, you have a focal point and do nothing for 30 minutes. And the idea is that if you are not able to do this, if you're not able to do this for 30 minutes, with your own time in your own life, how free Do you think you really are? moves on to happiness, right? So we just kind of talking about freedom a little bit there, moves on to happiness and and the gist of it is, is happiness is something that most of us we seek outside of ourselves, we also seek it from others, right? We seek the validation from others to to kind of let us know whether or not we're happy or maybe even look at comparing ourselves to other May we compare ourselves as one as miserable or somebody we think is happy. And, and then we we put ourselves in a position to you know, there's like a happiness gauge, if you will. And we put ourselves along there. He shares a short story from Anthony de Mello. And let me see if he tells us who and Melo is. psychotherapists and Jesuit priest, Anthony de Mello, pretty pretty, I think, fairly well named no name in this space, if you're not familiar, check them out. I haven't really checked them out beyond this, and hearing them quoted from place to place. The idea is, when you are living your life, are you doing something for that innate soul feeling of joy that often comes from giving or being is simply being happy for who and where you are versus the being recognized by somebody else or some, you know, a group. So when you're doing something to be recognized, right? You're doing it so that somebody says, oh, great job, and that's where your happiness comes from. Right? So the validation from somebody else that tells you that what you've done is in accordance and allows you to be happy or maybe gives you an applause because you've been on stage missing doing anything. Or maybe even at work, right, you get your happiness because you're your boss thinks that what you've done is great. And so now you're happy. The idea though, it's pretty powerful. That he kind of gives, he outlines here is that when you're doing some of these things for outside of yourself that these are,

where's it good to hear. the true nature of worldly feelings are they are not natural. They were invented by our society to make you productive and make you controllable These feelings do print do not produce the nourishment and happiness is produced when one contemplates nature enjoys the company one's friends or work. They were meant to produce thrills, excitement, and essentially emptiness, right, because even at the end of the day, if you come home and, and you're excited about maybe the accolades and something else that work, and there's really nobody else gets it, but you, I don't know that that's here, maybe maybe that's not where he's going with this. But the idea is, that's not really true happiness, and that that's not really I don't think long lasting. So he, he also illustrates it with this other story of CEO who's worked for 20 years to reach the level of CEO. And then right as he kind of transitions into that ball, you know that that role, a company gets bought out, company gets bought you imagine working here and tired, 20 years to reach level CEO. And as soon as you reach that level, the company gets bought, and essentially, you get canned. Put yourself in that position. And then just just imagine, like, how hard that must hit you? And how would you feel? Would you know, the thing that you strove so hard for and even granted just for a moment? Because taken away? What does that do for your sense of happiness, right? He also says, Here, look, there's nothing you have to get in order to be happy. So I think the best example of that is right now you could, if you really wanted to recall a moment where you were happy and feel happy right now, if you want it or take a look around you and see what you have that's available to you that might not be available to anybody else. And you, you might be able to find happiness, right where you are, right now, in this moment. talks about the power of brainwashing, right? I think that you know, that there's a lot in this chapter. So, so the idea of if we say that, you know, you can be happy right now. And if Happiness is your innate nature, then why are you filled with anger and sorrow. And it's because of this mental model that we've been fed over and over again, of we are better if we are successful, right? You are incomplete, and your life is incomplete. And you know, we've got all these marketing products and solutions that help you to manufacture your needs. If you even if you look at some of these marketing materials and, and sales materials, you'll you'll see that this is true, you know, some somebody creates a situation shows that somebody is happy. And and By comparison, you don't you're not supposed to but you're going to no matter what By comparison, you see somebody who's happy and joyful and smiling because they've got a thing, or, or a product and and you think that you do you need that in your life, right? That's a manufactured need. is a hot dog happening here. So let's see. So it evolves around your own life and patterns, trying to look here at why I jotted this down, right. You know, your life and patterns of consumptions, you're absolutely convinced that, you know, you need to maintain your particular quote, unquote, standard of living and maybe improve on it right. So, again, this is this is kind of like just what we've been fed, right? You believe and just for, he says, Hey, you believe that you were immune. And the deal is you swallow at all. And the thing is, you are not paying attention, right? So

this is this is the idea of conscious behavior conscious and being woke doesn't necessarily mean that you've just connected to your spirituality, consciousness. mentality means that you're paying attention now to the shit that's going into your brain. Right? You're paying attention now to the thoughts that you accept and who the authorities are and what you're what you're willing to believe. And you're paying attention now to the stories that you've told yourself historically, and the stories that you're going to keep telling yourself but so I don't want to make it all out to be just the marketers either and I don't think that he does, and he has not just from advertising is not just from market, it's not just from sales. This, this this brainwashing comes from your parents, from your friends, from teachers and coaches, anyone who is an authority or someone that you know, like and trust, right, this is sales one on one, this is marketing one on one, but these have all contributed to who you are, where you are, and your current situation. Now, the idea is your question these beliefs, values and these mental models and he says the answers that you find are very counter intuitive. Let me see if he gives an opportunity for you to. He doesn't say, right here, and maybe he does a little bit. I'm just looking for a place where he says in the book that was an example of a counter intuitive answer. He does not say We'll see. We'll see how this keeps lead. Now. It's been a minute, since I've read it and wrote down these notes, but I think, let's see, where are we here in timing. 15 minutes. So I'll pause this here and we'll go and, and this one, check back in for should be just part two, maybe we get to a part three of chapter seven.
