Table Rush Talk Show

On a zoom call I floated the idea "We can have happiness in any moment that happiness is a decision".  But it made me realize I didn't give the steps to achieve said happiness.  Because if we can decide to be happy at any moment, that doesn't mean we're going to be happy in the moment, It means we've got to take next steps.  Let’s discuss some of those steps.

Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:02 I am going to talk about that we can have happiness in any moment. That happiness is a decision and what are some implications of that.  And what is a more effective way for me to talk about that? And I, I, because I realized like today I wrote down that, yeah, we can have happiness in any moment. And happiness is a decision. And then I ended up on this zoom group meeting where I got to lead a talk, or I got to share first. And so I got to talk about that idea, that happiness is a decision then I think, and what happens is inevitably somebody goes to the extreme circumstance. Well, if you had this circumstance that is so extreme, of course you can't decide to be happy in this circumstance. And I framed that as well. And, and, um, what I realized though, well. What I realized after some other people had shared and discussed was that I gave no steps or no framework.

Mischa Z: 01:22 So I just floated idea, and then it can sound great, but I'm not like here's actionable. Here's how it's actionable or going a little bit deeper with it. And so I had said, you know, Hey, happiness is a decision. Oftentimes when we talk about that, somebody are automatically goes to the extreme. I sent that to, so then I got to pick someone to share next. So I picked someone to share next, and that person says "I disagree because here's the circumstances". And that when I floated the idea, I said, you know, we can be happy in any moment in spite of our circumstances, like, if we're depending on circumstances for our happiness, that's an exercise in futility. And so this person said, well, "I disagree", which is cool. And we were having fun. And I was laughing at myself. And so she said, Hey, you know, I've got a sister who's one of my daughters just got real sick. My other daughter just broke her neck and something else happened. And so she's like, "I can't be happy".

Mischa Z: 02:58 And the thing is, there's no opportunity to rebut. So I was just listening and going, huh, that's interesting. You know, that's, those can be seemingly times when you can not be happy. Right. And so there was great conversation back, or there was a great conversation with other people as they talked about it. Um, but it really got me thinking that, okay, "What if happiness is a decision"? "What are the steps to happiness?" Because I think if you decide to be, if we can decide to be happy at any moment, that doesn't mean we're going to be happy in the moment we've got to take next steps. And that was sort of my aha, like breakthrough thinking right there. The next time I have an opportunity in front of people, or if I'm having a discussion with a friend or an interested, willing listener, the captive audience, like you on this podcast right now that let's talk about the steps. So I think first, clearly you need to be willing. You need to be willing to think that that's possible. Maybe you don't. I think it would be nice. Like that lady clearly was not willing. She's like, no, I'm not willing. She already, the circumstances popped up in her head. She was in a state of, of unhappiness, as she said in the moment, I'm not happy because of my two daughters who are going through distress.

Mischa Z: 04:39 And, uh, which makes me think of a lot of great stuff of, of, of, of, about that. But I'll save that for, for either if I have enough time here or for another episode. So let me get back to it. So, okay. Happiness is a decision. I'm willing to be happy. Okay. So what's the next thing. The next thing is, all right. One tool would be to take a big breath in and a big breath out. Just let that powerful breath that God centered breath can pull you into the moment. And then what would be a next step you could do, you could talk to your higher power or that thing that is greater than you, that hopefully you can put some, some belief into or trust into or something again. And so perhaps you could, uh, turn to that. Grow your God, shall we say?

Mischa Z: 05:48 So I love that idea. Next time I have the opportunity in public to talk about happiness as a choice or a decision then to say, all right, Hey, we gotta be willing be we gotta take a big breath in. And then, you know, C, D N E for example, and I don't have C, D E. That's all out of the top of my head, but, but, uh, you know, what do I do because I am working on happiness in the moment. So the big deep breath, and then talking to God, and if I am in the state of resentment, do the resentment tools. If I'm in a state of fear about a situation, what are the, you know, is it, is, is a big breath in and a prayer enough, or do I need to pull out pen and paper or do I need to grab some of my literature that reinforces happiness in the moment? Or, you know, I'm just thinking about all these cool ways to come back to the moment.

Mischa Z: 07:14 And I will... In a perfect world, I'd have had more of those penciled out before I started recording this episode. But I think you get what I'm saying. And I think I would have been more effective today on that zoom group meeting that I got to lead. If I would have, when I floated the idea that you can "happiness is a decision" that I could have given examples, real life, examples of myself, and how did I, what were the steps I took to bring, to bring me back to happiness in the moment? So, um, there you have it. That's what, uh, you know, I, I guess to, you know, I'm on this two CCX, this Russell Brunson thing, this learning how to be a more effective storyteller, a more effective teacher, a more to carry a more poignant message. And so that's what really got me thinking about, about the happiness in the moment. I'm like, oh yeah, I'm saying that, but I'm not perhaps talking about the, learned it and earned it, or here's the framework and the steps, here's this here's I gave you the strategy. Now here's the tactics you can use, um, to achieve that.

Mischa Z: 08:52 And, uh, you know, there's, there is some literature that was, yes, thank you. Sorry, I'm a bit scattered, but, or, or pinging around, but I realize as well that I could have referenced some literature that is powerful, that affirms that idea. And it's common literature that is common knowledge, style literature, you know? And, uh, so I can be like, Hey, if you believe that this person is valid in their thinking, then, you know, here's the literature that they've produced. Here's what they say to do. Right. Okay. Does that, does that make sense? Am I making sense here people? I hope so. Um, happiness is a decision. We need to be a willing, then we need to at least take a breath, big breath in long breath out to come back to the moment. And then perhaps depending on what type of discontent is it, is it some fears of losing what I have or not getting what I want? Or is it, is it, you know, Familia, family, tension, strife, kids being sick, or I, I dunno, you get it. I'm done. I'm just digging the, digging the hole deeper. I hope this episode gets published. Love to all.

Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:02 Okay. For this episode, I have written down just because I cannot comprehend. It does not mean it is not true, or that people are not experienced experiencing it as my awareness and perception grows. Um, I'm not sure why I wrote down that down this morning. I can tell you this. I will talk about that in a second here, but first off I was just going to say, sometimes I'll be inspired with an idea, and then I think I'll just tackle it later when I could just oftentimes record in the moment. And I think there's, there's value in waiting and seeing if the idea nurtures and develops later, or if it indeed goes away because it could always come back. But, um, because I think there's also value in perhaps when an idea comes, go record on it and take action or write on it and take action.

Mischa Z: 01:15 But there's a delicate balance there between, between sticking with what you're doing and coming back to the idea later or stopping what you're doing and writing down the, and, and, and recording. Obviously I'm doing a podcast. So recording the episode in the moment. So I remember distinctly this morning, as I wrote down that idea, I was like, oh yeah, this will be great to do later. And my gut was like, you should probably just do it now, but I didn't. Thank you for listening to that, just because I cannot comprehend. It does not mean it is not true or that people are not experiencing it. And as my awareness and perception grows, I start to see that, oh yeah, maybe people have comprehended what I deemed uncomprehendable or maybe people are experiencing what I believed people couldn't experience, or people have insights to what I deem non insightable, if that's even a word.

Mischa Z: 02:46 And I, I think about it this way, because people would talk with me, you know, over the years as I've been in recovery and talked higher powers and, and things, and I'm sure everybody has this experience. You might come across a friend or an associate, or just a random person who is convicted in their belief of God or Jesus Christ. For example, I think that's an easy one to point to. Um, but when people are convicted in their belief of God and I'm like, well, I can't comprehend God. So therefore I believe you can't comprehend God. Or my experience might be more of the educational variety or, or, you know, a limited or from a completely different angle. So therefore I'm like, yeah, since I can't comprehend it, what you say is, excuse my language. Right. I would historically have contempt for somebody's ideas in that regard, or I would hear them out, but, but not believe it. And, uh, as I continued to do, you know, dig deep on some spiritual ideas and I'm getting more insights, I'm starting to see like, oh yeah. You know, perhaps people are gifted in that regard. And I'm not saying I am, or that I've got, got real insight, but I definitely feel like I'm nudging closer. And I think I've said this before, but I'll say it again in the Bhagavad Gita, I believe it is.

Mischa Z: 05:00 Krishna's basically telling, I think it's our Juna is, uh, is telling him, Hey, you know, you will not get an insight into what's on the other side of death until you stare into the face of death. And that it's not literal. He's not meaning like you literally have to experience a near death. He's saying until you're willing to meditate on it, think about it, experience it that way mentally. Or I don't know if experience is the right word, but really, yeah. Let your, let your mind go there. Perhaps you will not get surety that there is another side or, or, and whatever that is. I'm not saying there is another side for me, it's manifesting like this. So I I've a number of years ago started meditating on death. And so I will honestly tell you right now that in some meditative moments I've experienced the ego dying and it's like a flash instant horrifying, scary moment, right.

Mischa Z: 06:27 Like to be like, oh yeah, the way that I relate to this world is going to, change, and experiencing that. And that's pretty extreme. And I now know the feeling when it, when it's coming on and I know how to look into it and I want it actually to, I want that experience to happen. I want to feel that. And because it's a reality. And so I'm like, I don't want to hide or run from it any, any more. And, and so I've been doing that and it doesn't happen all the time and, and this might sound way out there and kind of whooy phooey, but it is the nature of some things that I'm up to these days. And so, as I've started to experience that, I have started to have an idea of that. We're all one. And so death is not what I think it is. How's that, and really start to... Not intellectually, but, uh, maybe subconsciously, uh, right there on the conscious start to embody it and feel it and know it. I can't talk about it very well yet, but, uh, to go, okay, yeah, I'm getting glimpses of something beyond. Where before I was like, yeah, no way. And anybody who talks about it is full of crap. That's the point of this?

Mischa Z: 08:20 And just because I cannot comprehend, it does not mean it is not true or that other people are not experiencing it or comprehending it. And as my awareness and perception grows, shifts, changes, matures. I start to see that, oh yeah. There's, uh, I'm getting glimpses tastes of the, of these things. And then even more I'm like, oh yeah, there's people out there that are way knowledgeable or insightful in this arena. And so I think that's pretty cool. Um, so I think about it too, you know, I think about the physical. Physically, it's easy for us to be like, oh yeah, there's, there's physically gifted people that can do things that I can't do, and we can see it and it's easy to quantify. And it's like, wow, I don't know how someone's, you know, doing what Michael Jordan does for example, or, you know, Steph Curry hitting three half court court, three point shots seemingly at well, it's like, yeah, that's a visually.

Mischa Z: 09:51 Yeah, I guess just because I can't do it doesn't mean it can't be done or thought up or what have you. Or sometimes we can see that with really smart scientists, people, super smart thinkers. Like sometimes I, uh, I'll watch, uh, what's the guy's name Russell brand, that comedian, that dude is smart. And he's thinking about lots of cool stuff. I don't agree with all of it. Some of it I definitely agree with, but he's a cool thinker, clearly, very smart and, um, funny. And, uh, and so he sort of backs up what I'm saying there as well. It's like, yeah, that guy thinks contemplates meditates on things that, uh, I doubt if I'll ever... He thinks about and talks about a lot of political stuff. I'm like, that dude is like, he's politically tapped in. So it's pretty cool. It's pretty cool. Anyhow, there you go. I, uh, told you about I'm on this. Kick tell you what I'm going to say. Say it, and then tell you what I said. So we just discussed just because I cannot comprehend. It does not mean it is not true or that people are not experiencing it. Okay. I'm done. Have a good day.

Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:02 It is a, uh, 11:20 PM. I'm going to do my best to get this episode done. I'll also say there's been a cricket that got into the house. It's driving me bananas, hiding so loud and found the general area where he is, but he is doing a very good job of hiding. Very concerned that cricket will start cricketing as I'm recording TMI too much information. This episode is about miscommunication, MISS communication. People hear what they want to hear, or they hear what they're going to hear even better. And it's definitely different than what I'm trying to get across. I'm absolutely noticing these days, how I'll be talking to people. And one I'll say something and they'll completely just not even pretend to have heard. So there's that people clearly just aren't listening. So there's that, but this is more of people are listening, but they are not hearing what I am saying.

Mischa Z: 01:31 And I say that with love more of just out of miscommunication. And I'm noticing a lot with my friends, I will be talking and they won't get it, or I'll try to say what I heard from them. And it's just missing the mark. And, um, I think it's funny a lot of times neither side is aware. So I'm definitely having awareness of how, of how the other party just doesn't get it. And I'm laughing. And I think it's always been happening. I'm just aware of it now. And it really came to light with my who, Andrea. And, um, I use this, I'm using this email automation system called Active Campaign. And one of the things you can do is create automations and then automation is an email sequence. And so you'll create your automation and then you'll do your first email. And then you put, wait one week or wait one day or wait four hours, whatever you want.

Mischa Z: 02:55 And then you'll put your next email. And then you put, wait a week, for example. So that way you would send an email a week, but you can pre pre write your emails. So after the summit was done, it was very important for me to try and get a couple of emails out. And, um, she was suggesting that I build an automation in Active Campaign. Active campaign is relatively new to me, and she's very competent with it, but most of what she is done for me on the summit, that project is complete. So now I get a run solo for awhile. And, uh, so she was showing me the basics of active campaign. And I set up my first, I created my automation. I set up the first email and then there are little buttons. So there's the new email and it's like a button and then there's a plus sign.

Mischa Z: 03:58 And then it says, wait for one week. And so I kept on asking her, well, how I don't want it to wait for one week. As soon as this email is created, I want it to send. And she's like, well, don't worry. We'll sort that out there, we're going to do another, I can't remember what she called it. Another, add another tag or something like that or workflow or something. I can't remember what it was. And I was really confused and I kept on saying, well, wait a minute. That doesn't make any sense. How come you know, I'm going to put the email in there. And she says, you make it active. You make your campaign active, put your email in there. And then you put the wait one week bubble in there. And then I'm like, this doesn't make any sense. She said, don't worry about it.

Mischa Z: 04:47 Don't worry about it. And we had this dialogue two or three different times on different occasions. Finally, I get my email done the other day. I make, I put the email in, I make the, I make the, um, campaign active. And, um, you can do test emails before, so you can create your emails and then do a test email so you can test it to make sure, okay. So I tested a few times and I get it to where I'm like, oh yeah, that's good enough. I'll throw it in the system, make it active. And since I think it thinks it's going to wait a week and then I have to trick it to send it sooner. That's how I think the system works, that when I make the system live and I put the email in there, I think the email is going to wait a week to go out unless we trick it to go out sooner. And I think she's going to tell me the trick. So I get the email to where it's good enough. I'm like, oh yeah, I'll just make the active and did a couple of tests and yeah, let's make it active. It's good to go. And now we'll just continue to edit the email until we trick it to go out.

Mischa Z: 06:10 So I make it active. And all of a sudden it goes out to 400 people or 350 or whatever it is. And I'm like, wait a minute. Well, it went out to me to my official email address that I get the, the official emails from when everybody else gets an email. So do I. So I get that email at that address. And I'm like, wait a minute. That doesn't make any sense. I just shouldn't have gotten that yet. But I'm like, huh, whatever. I'll, I'll coordinate with Andrea. So I let Andrea know, Hey, you know, the automation is done and dah, dah, dah, what's the next steps. This was late at night. And so the next day she says, oh yeah, the automation went out and 35% of the people have opened the email. And I said, what? I said, I thought that it was on the wait for a week and that we needed to do something to get it sent out. And she goes, oh no, no, no, no. It gets sent out. As soon as you make an active, I'm like, I thought we had this conversation three times. She goes, oh no, no, no, no, no. The weight of week is till the next email. So you have four days now to get that next email done. And I'm like, what?

Mischa Z: 07:32 And I, even as I tell you that story right now, I was aghast. I was laughing. I was like, how did we have that miscommunication? I asked her three times. I asked her in a perplexed nature. I was like, you've got to explain this to me. It doesn't make any sense. And um, she thought I was asking something else because all of a sudden the email went out anyway. So I was just like, oh my gosh, I, I what's the lesson to be learned there a with the person that you're hiring, it's like, figure out how to ask the question in different ways and get confirmation, because I don't even know. It doesn't matter. I told her, I said, how however we so on different pages. And she says, I have no idea, but she was laughing about it too. How funny humans are.

Mischa Z: 08:35 So there you go. The miscommunications between people and how I'm just seeing it all around me, friends that aren't listening. What was some more that I, I wrote down, I am seeing more and more examples of this. How well am I listening? Question mark, am I hearing that people are not understanding me? And I think that, that is the great question. Am I hearing that people aren't understanding me and, and can I, can I verbalize that and fix and fix that, especially when it comes to work, because as I get more projects going, I'm going to be communicating with more and more people. And, uh, yeah. Can I hear that they aren't hearing hearing me right. Anyway. I don't know if this episode makes any sense or if you all have that same experience, but there you go. Miscommunications, people hear what they want to hear, or even better. They hear what they're going to hear. And I think that that's what Andrea was doing. She was hearing what she wanted to hear. Anyway, I'm done peace out, not bad for 1130 at night.

Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:02 I am going camping and, um, a few days and it hit me. Oh, no, I've got to have pod cast episodes teed up and ready for Friday. So I got to have my, I have to have my interview published for, for Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, I've got to publish four episodes, have them ready, batch publishing. I'm not sure quite what the term is after publishing 287 episodes. That's how many episodes I've published. There'll be 300 by the time you hear this, which is pretty awesome, but I am going camping to step away from it all for three days up in Mammoth, we'll be doing 10 miles a day. So we'll probably clock 20 to 30 miles in three days. So that'll be super fun. Mammoth, Mammoth lakes, June lakes up in, um, by, uh, where is that in California? Kinda, um, past Whitney and all that.

Mischa Z: 01:22 So very excited to get away and do all that. Um, I was on a couple of things I wanted to discuss. I'm trying to get in the habit of say what you're going to say. Say it then say what you've said. So where was I? Oh my gosh, I already lost track. Can't even tell you what I was going to say. So I could say it and then tell you what I said, um, has tremendous insecurities about my podcast. And I was just doing a little journaling, a little prayer, you know, writing and such, and the thought came, don't worry about your podcast. Keep at it, just keep at it. I've been thinking a lot about finding my voice. People talk about they have found their voice or they're finding their voice or, or Russell Brunson is like just publish every day and soon enough you'll find your voice.

Mischa Z: 02:29 And I'm thinking, what the heck does that even mean? Find your voice because I definitely don't know if I'm any closer to finding my voice. However, I believe I got a glimmer, a glimpse of finding my voice today. So I was interviewed for a summit, the forgiveness zone subnet, I think it was called the forgiveness, something summit, forgiveness, something summit. Um, and I felt like ego ugly. I did good. Like the Connie who interviewed me was, was excited. I felt like, like she, she felt like whatever she was looking for, I was able to provide. Good insights, good content, good conversation, good content for her summit listeners. And so I worked hard on telling some stories, having specific, actionable, you know, a framework to work with some, some tactics strategy and then a tactic. And then, um, you know, also try and reference, you know, where I learned some things, so who I learned things from.

Mischa Z: 03:52 So I think that I was getting a glimpse of finding my voice appropriate stories at the appropriate times. And then I was on this podcast today. I got interviewed for somebody's podcast, Shereen Wilson's inner mind podcast, and Shareen's super cool NLP, um, hypnotherapy. Um, she's good about, uh, nutrition, but definitely in her mind stuff. And she was very excited about the conversation that we had after it, and very much enjoyed the stories that I told. And I tried to tell stories. I was like, all right, tell some stories to highlight your point. You know, um, I guess as Russell Brunson would say how you've learned it and earned it and you, no, I definitely felt like I had this moment of, I think I'm finding my voice was so fleeting, whatever that thought was or idea was, has since slipped away, but that's all right.

Mischa Z: 05:13 The habit for a moment was super cool. And I think sort of what finding your voices perhaps is being able to be meaningful in my conversation, be useful of service, helpful, you know, like getting a little bit closer to what is my niche. Um, but as I've said, many times on this podcast, I have been in recovery for decades three and a half decades. And it started for me when I was very young. You know, recovery took hold for me when I was 17 years and nine months old. And it's been, you know, sobriety ever since lots of been very active in recovery in 12 steps.

Mischa Z: 06:02 And what was really cool as I've made a commitment to try to bring that, those stories that lens of my life, two audiences that normally wouldn't get to hear it, I guess, is how I would say it. So it was fun to tell a stories that I might normally tell in a different environment, in a new environment to a new audience. And it felt like the path was really good. And so that was really empowering, I suppose, is the word I would say, or again, a moment of, oh, maybe I am finding my voice to have somebody to have those stories resonate, the poignant, carry a message, carry learning for somebody where I was able to teach and give somebody insights outside of the normal environment that I would present those stories to was very cool. So very excited about that.

Mischa Z: 07:24 Um, that was one thing I wanted to talk about there. I'm not doing a good job of what I was going to talk about what I talked about and then you get it. So another really cool thing I've been meaning to, you know, I just was able to let go of a lot of expectations and a lot of, um, need to be done or need to have this done. Or I was feeling a lot of pressure coming out of the summit of needing to have email sequences done. And that's really funny, man. I I've been wanting to get this email out to the summit audience about, Hey, it was recommended to me that the first email you can send that should be easy as, Hey, I've got this podcast, listen, check it out, follow subscribe. Well, it took me 10 days to get that email out.

Mischa Z: 08:33 I finally, well, I've got it prepped. It's ready to go. And now I just, my who and active campaign need to cooperate with me so it can go out, but effectively it's written and teed up in the sequence, but I woke up this morning convicted. I just knew in my heart, you're getting this done day today. Just get it done, get it teed up, get it ready. And um, I guess I want to, what I'm going to say in that regard is I knew that it was going to get done, that it was okay. That it's all right. That it took 10 days instead of one day. Um, what else? Just this pressure it's like this pressure valve was released. It was just like, it's all okay. Like you're where, you're where you're supposed to be. You're learning what you need to learn and you are where you are and you can, yeah, you can take extremely messy, messy action and still be, I dunno if productive is the right word, but carry a message effective.

Mischa Z: 09:53 There we go. Still be effective. So just internalizing that at least in the moment feels really, really good. Um, so there you have it. I talked about, um, camping, so excited, kind of have these E uh, episodes teed up and ready to go. Um, I feel like at least I've had glimmers of finding my voice glimpses of finding my voice via speaking on a summit and somebody else's podcast. So that's kind of fun. And uh, yeah, I got that last. I got my email, my email to the summit audience finally is done the first one. It took me 10 days versus one. Anyhow, hopefully the next email will take a day. Peace out, everybody enjoy the ride.

Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:07 Welcome to another episode of the Bitch Slap The Accelerated Path To Peace podcast. A couple of things going through my mind today, this morning, um, sort of coming out of the summit, there's a lot of minutiae stuff to do. And along the lines of, you know, this pressure, well, well, the, I need to clean up my Facebook profile and then join there's this way. You can start to build an audience. You pick three to five Facebook groups that are people that you want to interact with and you every morning, do a value post and respond to three questions on those in those groups. And part of that is having the, they, the group I'm in encourage you to have your Facebook profile cleaned up first. Doesn't have to be perfect, but just, you know, a certain way, like, um, how do I describe the certain way?

Mischa Z: 02:00 Save it for another, another episode. Um, and then along with that, Rachel Miller, I heard this little talk from Rachel Rachel Miller, and she encourages you to post once a day and gives you some cool ways to post. But again, her thing is, one of her things is have your profile cleaned up. So I need to clean up my profile. Is there sort of next steps? One of the other next steps was start emailing my list. So a 400 person list that I now have coming out of the summit. And so in a perfect world, I would be emailing that list consistently and that some point have an offer for that list or a product to sell. So the first email I was to send was one saying, Hey, here's my podcast, listen like subscribe. And of course my podcast name is Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path To Peace.

Mischa Z: 03:12 And all of a sudden I had tremendous insecurities around my podcast name. I was like, man, I'm going to perhaps offend some people. And so coach Vince very graciously said, Hey, we do want to have a little bit of a polarizing, you know, you've got your middle ground, which is boring, the center, which is boring. And we don't need to think of this in terms of politics. I think when we start saying center left and right, people will automatically think politics, but you can think of it however you want. But so the center is boring, then you've got your extreme left and right, which is the crazies let's say. And then in between center and left and in between center and right is polarizing. And so a polarizing message and what we're up to can be good because you want people to, um, either be all in or be like still listening, but Pissed off. Perhaps is a way to say it, or you're, you're sparking them to think, I'm just recording it.

Mischa Z: 04:30 Recording, go got a podcast episode every day. Sometimes it's easy. Sometimes it's challenging. Now I get to do an email every day and commit to that email every day to my email list. So I have tremendous fear around that. Um, but I get to do that. Um, and then the next thing on the list, there's a few things going on, refine my avatar and what is the problem I'm going to solve? I've got to nail down the avatar and the problem I'm going to solve. And so coming out of the summit, I have a much better idea of the avatar or I can clean up my avatar, refine my avatar as well as, um, as well as the problem I will solve for them. So there, that's kind of cool. Um, and then, um, I've got to come up with a product or my web hell, what am I, what the solution, what's it going to be? Um, so all of that together in a big pile, I'm like, I can't do it. So I have screened phrase all of that together in a pile and there's some more stuff I'm sure I've forgotten. Um, but that's the general outline of next steps. And boy, when I look at it all as one big pile, I'm like, I can't do any of it and this'll never happen.

Mischa Z: 06:15 So I'm focused on, let's get the email together to send to my list, talking about the podcast and clean up the Facebook profile, then that will create space for the next two steps. Um, thank you for listening. Hopefully if you're trying new things and growing to new ideas and perhaps leaving a job and starting a new job or starting a new business, you will relate to much of this and how it can feel overwhelming and, and the fear, the fear that can creep in, like I'll never get it done. This will never happen. How can I possibly, um, how can this possibly monetize too? That's another question. The fears around monetization.

Mischa Z: 07:25 How about that for a stream of consciousness? How about that for this stream of conscious ness, I'm endeavoring to persevere the outlaw, Josey Wales, keep at it. I can tell you the value of a coach was so powerful. I talked to coach my coach Vince today, and it was so good. Like he, um, I don't think he was trying to do this, but the way he was talking about next steps and all this and, and, and helping me craft a vision for moving forward, it was all assumptive. Like, this is this just the next step you'd do on your way to success. And, uh, that felt really good. It's like, oh yeah, okay. Of course this is just the natural next step. So you do it, not even questioning whether I should be taking the next steps. That is the key bit, right? Like, no, you just do these next things.

Mischa Z: 08:34 Cause that's where you are on your way to success. And when I say success, you know, with the business, yeah, we'll see more, will be revealed. I'm trying to detach my ego from that. But of course, as we're crafting new business opportunities, you hope success is the natural outcome. And I love this following the steps. I talk about this all the time, follow the steps of the program you are going to choose to follow. And it's almost like the results have to materialize. Now the timing of all that, that's another story. Um, but anyway, I'm right in the middle of that. I, uh, yeah. So lastly, let me just say that I am consciously right now trying to be easy on myself, about where I am in this process, where I am as I'm tackling the next pile of stuff to do, because that can be a source of egoic frustration.

Mischa Z: 09:56 I should be farther on not far enough. You start, I can beat myself up. I start to compare compare mode. Um, and I think one of the big lessons for me to learn is to be happy where I am in regards to this type of stuff too. Like many aspects of my life. I'm completely happy where I am and on the journey and enjoying the ride, this type of business thing. Sometimes I can want the nugget at the end now to satisfy my insecurities, my ego, um, you know, quell my fears when it's still all about the journey and, and embracing the moment. Yes. And then how can I be of service? Of course. So my hope is, as I'm doing episodes now, I'm consciously more of these days. It's it's, I'm trying to think, yes. Is this, am I being of service? So I hope this is of service to you. The listener. Let's create, let's try new things. Let's live our passions. I'm going to attack the big pile, the front, the front little edges of the pile craft my first email, inviting everybody to the podcast and, uh, cleaning up my Facebook profile. All right, peace out. I will report back. Hopefully that those two things are done on the next episode.

Transcript: Mischa Z: 00:03 As I said, on the last episode, it's time to renew for, to make the decision about whether to renew for the two CCX coaching group I'm in and for anybody that's new or has forgotten. Part of this coaching group has gotten me to publishing every day, hence this episode, that this podcast that you're listening to right now, the slap the accelerated path to peace podcast and also the summit, the tools for a good life summit. Those are two things that I've done. And now I'm tasked with putting myself out there more on Facebook groups and trying to build a bigger audience and, and start driving some organic traffic versus paid traffic. So that's kind of cool. Right. But I'm definitely nervous about, do I have the capacity to daily, you know, do those, do those things. Um, so that's like a question that I've got in my mind.

Mischa Z: 01:15 Um, also hold please, the last episode, um, the interweb crashed and, uh, right in the middle of the episode. And so the recording popped up, so I was like, oh my gosh, you have to see if I have to redo it, do it, or whatever, sorry, diversion, perhaps I'll edit this section out when I go to, uh, to, uh, editing this part, this podcast episode. Um, so yeah, the two CCX got me publishing every day on a podcast. I did a summit to start building a list and developing relationships with people on my dream 100. People who I would like to work with, collaborate with, communicate, with develop relationships with in the space that I am playing. And now it's time to start creating products, offerables , something to offer you the people.

Mischa Z: 02:26 And that's what I will do. Year two, hopefully is start creating offer interested in and trying to create funnels to drive sales of said product. Products. Um, and so the last episode will, what if I wasn't worried about money? Because up to this point, it's been a losing financial proposition and it was, well, gosh, if money wasn't an object, heck guide, do it. Cause I'm having fun and learning and being of service and all these things. So the next question was to help me with this decision was keep who I can help in focus. So again, I'm looking to renew the two CCX, which is a high-end coaching program. So it was expensive and I'm like, oh my gosh, should I do this? And what am I going to do? And it can be such a big thing in the universe, God source. Hm.

Mischa Z: 03:35 The infinite intelligence dropped the thought into my head, keep who I can help and focus. So that avatar, that avatar, that elusive, um, that elusive, uh, ideal of who I can help. And so I did have who, who can I help? So I did a little bit of writing and this was who I can help. Um, I can help, I help growth minded high-performers move beyond the constant worries of money, which is funny. Cause I'm just was talking about financial worries. Hopefully I'll move past that and just sign on the line that is dotted. And the need for relationships so that they can thrive in the second half of life.

Mischa Z: 04:31 So if I can keep that person in mind, those high performers who write like I was a high performer and one of the best decisions I ever made was quitting my high performing career to do what other things that my heart was calling me to do. And throughout my life, I've made many hard decisions like that, that have all been awesome and led to a really cool life I'd life. Actually that my son said to me the other day, I did an episode about this. I want to have cool experiences like that. I want to have cool adventures like that. So I've had a very adventurous life, which is super fun to think about. So that provided me sort of some freedom to, to be like, yeah, all I need to do is keep that ideal in mind being of service to that person out there.

Mischa Z: 05:32 Cause that was a place I was suffering, right? Like I was suffering. I was in a job that I didn't want to be in. And I was stuck in there because my identity of being a successful mortgage banker kept me there. Um, society's pressure of, "you've got to know what to do next". You've gotta be earning, producing succeeding. I was a type sales like I was, was in it and, and I knew my time was done, but I couldn't leave. As a matter of fact, I had the full godfather moment of, of quitting and then divorce happened like quitting. I, I did actually, I was out of it. And the judge, the judge I had taken of a vocational evaluation, I believe is what you called it. And they're like, sorry, my friend, you have child support and alimony to pay. And the one thing you know, how to do well currently is mortgage banking. So we know you can do it. So we're going to assume that you are and assign a financial number based on what you could be making if you were in mortgage banking. And um, at the time I was like "sh*t". Sorry about the language godfather moment. "Every time I leave you pull me back in". So, um, I ended up back in mortgages.

Mischa Z: 07:12 Isn't that funny? So anyway, I was finally able to leave, but it was a very tough decision. I did some heavy, heavy, cool work that helped me realize instantly all of a sudden I was like, oh my God, it's time to go. I see that. I see the vision for the future, which happened to be a stay at home. Dad gave me the courage to be a stay at home dad to my then a tween and teen boys, two boys. Um, so that was a heavy dark place for me. If that transitional point until I finally had the courage to, or, or I saw like take the leap, take the leap, quit the job.

Mischa Z: 08:03 It's okay that you don't see what's next because I did not see what was next. It gave me the courage to walk away without knowing what was next. And boy it was so beautiful and one of the best, best decisions I ever made. And if there's previous episodes where I talk about the depth of despair that brought me to that moment, um, you know, breakups, all kinds of things. Uh, yeah. So if I can keep that person in focus that I can help them, not quite sure how yet, perhaps, maybe the summit helped. Maybe these podcast episodes are helping some of you out there who are in that state.

Mischa Z: 08:55 But I had the, you know, somebody else told me when I was wanting to vamanos or, or leave the 2CCX when it came time to brass tacks for the sonnet. And I could, I either needed to leave the two CCX or tackle the summit in Kent said, Kent said "you're being selfish, Mischa. You've got people to help buckle down, do the summit, quit being selfish". And I was like. And so there, it was again, keep who I can help in focus. So there you go. That, and if what I wasn't worried about money, those two things, you know, if I was like, yeah, the money thing will sort itself out. It always does have always have has. And that doesn't mean there's going to be more riches or this or that or the other thing, or it doesn't mean I won't have to have a roommate or something like that, or who knows if I had parents to go live with it wouldn't mean that I wouldn't have to move back in with mom and dad I'm way far away from that. But those are funny that those fears can sort of materialize.

Mischa Z: 10:25 And as long as I focus on service, the answer is clear. Be free of the ego to make heartfelt decisions and your life will be inspired and amazing. That's what I've got. Have a great day.

Mischa Z: 00:00:02 All right. Very good. Um, I am so excited right now to have Lynne McTaggart on the, Bitch Slap ...The Accelerated Path to Peace Podcast. And I'm really quick, Lynn, here's your introduction? Lynn is a metaphysical rock star, the Madonna of the quantum world, the Malcolm Gladwell of the new science and the even called the dally. Mama. Welcome.

Lynn McTaggart: 00:00:33 Thank you. Thank you very much. That one's my favorite. And it was given to me by a guy called Tom Shadyac. Who did the movie? I am. He introduced me once as that and I loved it. I thought it was wonderful and not deserved, but thank you. It's great to be with you, but fun.

Mischa Z: 00:00:53 Yeah. Good fun, nonetheless. Um, and then just really quick, you are an award-winning journalist, you've got seven books out there. Um, the, the, with the international bestsellers worldwide international bestsellers, the "Power Of Eight", "The Field", The Intention Experiment", and "The Bond" all considered seminal books of the new science and now translated into some 30 languages. Um, and then you like to focus on and talk about and teach I'm assuming intention, correct?

Lynn McTaggart: 00:01:32 I do. Yes.

Mischa Z: 00:01:35 Fantastic. And before we get to that, uh, I've caught you in great Britain. Yes.

Lynn McTaggart: 00:01:42 That's where I live. Yeah. Yeah.

Mischa Z: 00:01:44 And there's no accent. So either you hide it very well or your a ex-pat to, uh, great Britain is there.

Lynn McTaggart: 00:01:52 I am a New Jersey girl, Nisha who came over here 30 something years ago to spend three months researching a book. And I just never left. So put down roots here. I'm married to a Brit, I've got two grown daughters who are Anglo American. And so life is here. I've been here more than home.

Mischa Z: 00:02:15 And so what year did you move there if you don't mind me asking?

Lynn McTaggart: 00:02:18 Oh, 19 83, 19 83.

Mischa Z: 00:02:21 And you were restating. Yeah. Wow. And then, so you're researching a book. Yes. And what, what was the book you were researching at the time?

Lynn McTaggart: 00:02:31 I think to do with science and spirituality, where I ended up focusing on, it was a biography of one of the Kennedy sisters, Kathleen Kennedy, who had married a British Lord and had been really the rebel of the family. So she lived over here in her short life. All of her friends were over here. So I had to come over here to speak to a whole layer of the British aristocracy. Um, and this was back in, well, I started it in 1980 and, um, and I just walked off the plane and I said, I love it here. And I'm more or less, never left. I mean, my heart is still, I'm still a rabid American and I'm very involved in America. And my audience is, you know, the majority are Americans, although they come from all over the world. Um, but, uh, I've lived here. So I've, I live in London.

Mischa Z: 00:03:25 I love it. I knew there was something interesting there. So in 1980 to 1983, you're researching, uh, one of the Kennedy sisters. It brings you to the era aristocracy of England. And are you, you love England, but are you enjoying the research of the book at this point or what's what's

Lynn McTaggart: 00:03:49 Oh, I loved it. I mean, it was fascinating to me because it was a real window. As somebody wrote about the book, it was a real window into the Kennedy's because this was the one member of the family, the one child of the nine, who didn't March down the same road, you know, she defied her parents, which was incredible. None of the boys did and married a Protestant, which was shocking back then, uh, in the, you know, this was during the war in the 1940s. And, uh, she married basically one of the highest level aristocrats in, in the UK who was Protestant. And he got killed in world war II. And then she went out again and intended to marry a married Lord. So this was even more scandalous for Catholic rose and, you know, and, um, the whole family and Joe Kennedy was loved that daughter, probably most of all, but, you know, even he was concerned because it was going to affect his children's political future.

Lynn McTaggart: 00:04:59 So she ended up marrying it, uh, dying in a plane crash on her way to try to get Joe's blessing on marrying this married guy, married Protestants. So it was this amazing dramatic story that was, uh, I was able to tell the story of that generation, which was kind of the golden generation before the war that lost everything and also have this little peek hole into the family life of the Kennedys. So it was a fascinating project. Um, but I never expected it was going to land me here. And it certainly was a million miles away from the work that I have on now known for.

Mischa Z: 00:05:40 Yeah. Um, is, can you, uh, there's a little bit of feedback on your end. Are you hearing it?

Lynn McTaggart: 00:05:47 I'm not, I'm not.

Mischa Z: 00:05:49 I think there we go. It's good. We're good. Okay. Yeah. Um, so I can edit that out or not. Who knows? It's podcast light, that's it? Okay. So, so your researching this book, obviously cool rich history, which I love. And, um, and you now there's, we've got some quantum physics going on in to-do fast forward. Um, there's intention, there's science behind all this stuff. What happens between, so what are you, are you, are you like a scientist or what's going on, like fill in the blanks

Lynn McTaggart: 00:06:32 Misha I'm very far from a scientist, I'm a journalist. And I started out life as an investigative reporter. So my first book was an investigation and an expo say of lawyers around the world who were doing baby selling, who were essentially selling babies for adoption. And I broke a number of, um, international baby selling rings. Now this was what they call gray market adoption. There weren't laws against this, but it was just morally wrong what they were doing. And they were exploiting children and parents who couldn't have children. So that's where I started, you know, in my early twenties, I had, I was hooked up with hidden tape recorders, um, back when there were tape recorders and all this kind of undercover stuff. So that was my background. And the Kennedy book came about because my publishers thought there was a hidden story here and they thought I was a really good investigative reporter.

Lynn McTaggart: 00:07:31 And so they, they basically set me on the, on the story and of the Kennedys. And, uh, it was a wonderful story. It's sad story. So I moved over here, I got married, I got ill and nobody could figure out what was wrong with me. And so after going to both conventional and alternative doctors, I then decided, well, if I'm going to get better, I'm going to have to research what I think I have. And then also research the kind of doctor I think, cure me. And so I did, I went to a doctor who was the, uh, a, a real pioneer in what was then integrative medicine and nutritional medicine. And he was so amazing and it turned out I had a faulty microbiome. It's, it's something that's really common these days. Everybody knows about it, but they didn't back then, which was the 1980s.

Lynn McTaggart: 00:08:30 And so, uh, he got me better and we were both fascinated by it. And I had my, I met my husband over here. Who's also a journalist. We were married by that time. And, and we both were so fascinated by this process and thought, well, if you could control your own health and you could work with doctors like this and get the real story about medicine, then that would be really great for people. So we started a newsletter called what doctors don't tell you, it's now an international magazine. It's in 15 languages around the globe. And we report on what works and what doesn't work in conventional and alternative medicine. And we look at the medical literature so way back in the 1990s, I'm doing this and I'm coming across study after study of spiritual healing, showing this stuff works. So I'm thinking to myself, wait a minute, if you could take a thought and send it to someone else and make them better.

Lynn McTaggart: 00:09:31 Well, that undermines everything. We think about how the world works. So I wanted to investigate how that works. And I assumed if I talked to some cutting edge businesses who are doing consciousness research, they'll tell me how it all works. Oh, write it up. And that's it. No publish the book. Well, that, wasn't what it was. What happened was I talked to these scientists and I, um, I realized that they were on the brink of an completely new view of the world, a completely new science. Each of them had discovered a little piece of a puzzle that compounded into a completely new view of the world, a new understanding of who we are as human beings and our capacities. So that became my book, the field. And I also realized that these scientists, they speak a map, they speak in a code and they can't really translate that into normal English.

Lynn McTaggart: 00:10:31 They also like to just talk about their own experimental little patch. They don't like to speculate on how this comes together. So that job got left to me. So I really had to tutor and be tutored in quantum physics. I had to be tutored in this new science and learn this new science. I was well acquainted with reading scientific literature because of my work, um, my other work with what ducks. But so I, I put that together and that was my book, the field. Um, but there was a lot of leftover business, which was a number of studies. These amazing scientists, prestigious scientists, all from prestigious universities had come across showing that thoughts are an actual something with the capacity to change physical matter. So I wondered, okay, how far can we take this? This is the investigative reporter in me. I said, you know, are we talking about just a tiny little effect, like shifting a quantum particle, or are we talking about curing cancer with our thoughts?

Lynn McTaggart: 00:11:40 And also I was fascinated by the idea of what happens if you put lots of people together and have them send the same thought at the same time, does that magnify the effect? And so my next book was the intention experiment, which was both a book about the science, all the science of intention, and there's loads of it, but also an invitation to take part in ongoing experiments because I thought, well, I know a lot of the scientists who are doing this work now, and I also have loads of readers because the field was in 30 languages by then. So I thought, well, if I just put them both together, I'll have the biggest laboratory in the world. And so that's what I did. And that is been the intention experiment ever since 2007, we've run 40 experiments now. And the last one, we just ran for nine 11, the 20th anniversary. So I don't have the outcome of that yet, but most of the time we are running them with scientists and they're measuring data and looking at before and afterward, et cetera. And of the 39 where we have evidence 35 have shown measurable, significant, mostly, mostly significant effects. That's a better track record than most drugs.

Mischa Z: 00:13:03 Yeah. I, I read this book. Um, I have a few questions for you, but I read this book about, um, it was called, um, oh gosh, I wish I could remember, but I was look

What if I wasn’t worried about money?  I go into the costs of this whole venture so far and what would I do if I wasn’t concerned about money?  I’m definitely thinking about what I might loose vs what’s to gain.  And I tease the idea of “keep who I can help in focus.”

Mischa Z: 00:09 That was awesome. Timestamp 8 45 and 38 seconds PM. On this episode, my two topics are, what if I wasn't worried about money and keep who I can help in focus. It is time to up grade, not upgrade renew my yearly, excuse me. Oh my gosh. So rude. How rude is that? I apologize. podcast audience for my rude yawning. What if I wasn't worried about money? It's time for me to renew my yearly coaching program with Russell Brunson's 2CCX Two Comma Club X. I'm not sure where I ended up here. Um, all of a sudden the zoom went dead. So anyway, I was saying my internet died or I, gosh, I'm tired. It's only 8:48 PM and I'm exhausted. This whole entrepreneurial stuff is, uh, sure is a lot of work.

Mischa Z: 02:51 And by the way, I'm with my $2,000 revenue. So I've got 998,000 to go the 2000. It's not quite 2000. Cause as I was saying, I had a couple of refunds due to somebody, um, purchasing three tickets on accident. And so of course I've invested some money into hiring a who to help me, um, build out the funnels. So definitely, uh, that along with, um, you know, the yearly coaching and with, uh, with, um, some tech, a bunch of monthly text subscriptions, G suite Vimeo, Bitly Canva, oh my gosh. The list, the list of them's awesome. I can't even keep track honestly. Um, you know, investing in our work logos, um,LLC'ing all the stuff. It's been a year of financial investment with no, no immediate reward. Usually my ventures there's cash flows sooner rather than later. Great thing about the mortgage business is I was very fortunate since I was good at it. Most of the companies funded in my marketing campaigns, but I never really had my own business. I did own well. That's subjective. No, uh, is subjective the right word.

Mischa Z: 04:46 Um, the list, right? So, you know, that's, uh, you can bring your mortgage customer list around, but hard to sell it, perhaps the less you golly, I am sorry. Start a company, which I did try, but that all, that was a tough time. I, I think I did a podcast episode about that about if not, I'll do one anyway, I started a net branch, which I, it doesn't matter. Just know that it did not... Circumstances did not allow it to thrive and succeed. So I had some pivoting where the heck, what the heck was I talking about? Oh, so what if I, what if I wasn't worried about money? So it's time to re up and, um, I'm looking at another, you know, large financial outflow. It's probably why I'm yawning. Cause it's not exciting to talk about, but you know, Hemming and hawing and talking to source universe, whatever. And,

Speaker 2: 05:58 And, uh, and, um, you know, the thought came to me, what would I do if I wasn't concerned about money? If I didn't care about the financial aspect of it, I'd probably just I'd have already renewed for next year. I'll be perfectly honest with you if I didn't have the limiting belief or the fear of, of finances, financial insecurity, right. So that can mean a few things. And I definitely think this is a worthy conversation. One is that, uh, you know, I invest the money and I have no financial return from that directly. And then it's perhaps could be perceived as a waste of money, shall we say? Um, but what if I didn't care? What if I was like, Hey, this is super fun. I'm learning a lot. It's awesome. Great. No financial validation comes as a reward or, or it's a losing proposition on a balance sheet. What If I didn't care. And I was like, yeah, it's an education. Heck with it, get paid to go to school. Or, and what if there was no direct correlation to further financial success? So I couldn't be like, oh yeah, I learned all this stuff. Although I didn't monetize directly, at least I could tie it to, oh, I got a job or this or that. Right.

Speaker 2: 07:39 And then there's also the idea that, you know, it could very well being an investment that does monetize at some point. What would I do if I knew that the payoff was there? Would I do it? Heck yeah, I do it right. So these are interesting thoughts to contemplate. I'm definitely very clear in my head that I was like, oh, if I didn't care about money, honestly, like if I didn't care hacky, I do it. Cause it's kind of fun. It's stretching me learning a lot. So I was like, is that the tell to just do it right? Is that the tell or I don't know. I know it's interesting. So I'm contemplating it realistically. I probably will sign up again, but I'm definitely thinking, wondering, um, and, and this lack, it also is tied to this idea of lack, like looking at what... I interviewed this guy. I can't remember his name. Yes. I can. Francis Piche. Francis Piche.

Mischa Z: 08:55 French dude, but he just, coincidentally, I interviewed him a couple of days ago. He said...

Mischa Z: 09:02 You know, this, the whole idea of limiting belief of like, he was telling me a story about how he was worried about money. And so didn't make the decision to pivot and take a trip or invest in some class or something. I can't remember exactly what it was, but, um, it came back around 10 years later, the same scenario and he had some regrets by not doing it. And the same scenario came back to him and he found himself with the same reasons why not to do the thing. And he's like, oh my God, it hit me. Like, I was worried about what I was gonna lose, what I was gonna lose versus what I might gain. And, uh, as soon as I realized that I had signed on and I took the trip wherever it was. And of course the connections or the things that came of it were powerful and well-worth whatever financial investment he put into the trip. So I was like listening that I'm like, oh yeah, I'm definitely thinking about as far as the coaching is concerned, what I may lose versus what's to gain.

Mischa Z: 10:24 And, um, so it's a sort of a lack, a lack mentality versus an abundance mentality, I think is how people might say that. Um, and then also like there's some other interesting things around it. Um, those are the main points. The other ones are sort of fleeting in my mind right now, but it's like this idea of sticking with it, you know, um, not wanting to look bad, not wanting to fail, you know, not... Seeing, I'm definitely seeing the, the downsides of things. Like I'll never come up with a product good enough to work, whether it's coaching, informational products, physical products, like I've got nothing that can work, but not just trusting that something might come of something might actually might drop, drop in and be like, here's this. Right? So, um, just fear of some just air and out some fears, I believe we would call that a little bit wound the wound versus scarred, but, um, heck with it, I say. Welcome to the journey. I am probably past trying to be cognizant of timing of, of, um, my episodes these days, for whatever reason. And so I believe I'm on or about the eight minute mark. So I will save, keep who I can help in focus, keep that in my mind's eye. That's definitely helping me with this decision as well. So I want to address that next step aside. Okay.

Mischa Z: 12:30 So we've done. What if I wasn't worried about money and what if I wasn't worried about money? I would be all in on the gear number two of the coaching, because it's been awesome and amazing, and I've learned so much, but I do have fear financial fears.

A short reading today in “A Course In Miracles”.  Which is like a day off - A national holiday!  But it is still super juicy nonetheless.  My willingness to practice what is presented to me determines my level of success.  In this case it’s forgiveness and freedom of the mind.

Mischa Z: 00:03 A course in miracles, chapter 30, the new beginning introduction, anybody who's been listening to the podcast for a bit knows that I am a big, big, super big fan, super duper big fan of A Course In Miracles. A C I M for short, a C I M. And so I am currently reading a course in miracles, combined, combined volume. That's composed of the preface, the text, the workbook for students, the manual for teachers, the clarifications of terms and the supplements. I did the workbook for students, which was amazing. And I'll do it again, but it's basically 365 exercises one a day for a year and are some highly recommended, thumbs up, go get a course in miracles. Don't think, go get we'll find, think about it, but I would just say, go get it and start on that ASAP. So one of the things about a course in miracles is as I'm reading through the text, the text portion I can read the text portion is composed of chapters, and then each chapter has multiple sections.

Mischa Z: 01:42 So I try to read a section a day in the morning and it can take anywhere from a half an hour to an hour usually. And it's anywhere from two to four pages, super deep, super heavy, super weighty, like dence. The word I'm thinking of. It's very dense, dense content and does a great job of connecting me spiritually and just, you know, setting the tone for the day and getting the may thinking about, you know, the, the, the things bigger than myself. Um, get me out of my selfishness, um, stuff like that. And it's really cool. I need it in my life. I came to a point in my life where I need that to, to connect with something bigger than myself every day, preferably first thing in the morning, usually with some prayer and meditation, and then I dive into the course in miracles and every now and then the section will be five or six pages.

Mischa Z: 03:02 It's like, oh my God, what an order. I can't go through it through it. What a daunting prospect. And um, every now and then I will get a very short day. Today's a short day, chapter 30, The New Beginning. So it's, the very beginning of chapter 30. And there's always an introduction at the beginning of each, at the beginning of each chapter. And the introduction is usually a page or less. This introduction is simply a long paragraph. So this morning I was like, oh my God, the introduction, because I just read the introduction one day. And then I start on the section one, the next day, section two, the next day you get it. And that's how I've been doing it through the whole, the whole text portion. And I'm on page 625 of the text. So this isn't just like a new rule I made up this morning. No, it's been a rule. And in place, it's like a, it's like a national holiday. That's what introduction day is. It's like a national holiday. And if you've made it this far in this episode, which I really hope you have, I wanted to read the introduction because the introduction is, JUCIY, here we go.

Mischa Z: 04:28 "The new beginning now becomes the focus of the curriculum. The goal is clear, but now you need specific methods for attaining it. The speed by which it can be reached, depends on this one thing alone, your willingness to practice every step, each one with a little help. Every time it is attempted and together will these steps lead you from dreams of judgment, to forgiving dreams and out of pain and fear. They are now not new to you, but they are more ideas than rules of thought to you as yet. So now we need to practice them a while until they are the rules by which you live. We seek to make them habits now. So you will have them ready for whatever you need." And what a great day off.

Mischa Z: 05:46 I very much liked the sentence, "The speed by which it can be reached, depends on this one thing alone, your willingness to practice every step". And I just, I like that. I, I find that so many things in life, it's like, here's the steps to success, whatever that means, you know, here's your steps to completing this task. Here's your steps to achieving this goal, whatever, do the steps you'll get the result. And I love how that is what it's telling me right there. Like, Hey, guess what? The freedom that you seek is there for you depending on my willingness to practice every step. And then I also loved that the sentence paragraph one sentence five, “And together will these steps lead you from dreams of judgment, to forgiving dreams and out of pain and fear”.  And my guess is many people who listened to this will go that's who ha that's silliness. Like I don't want to be out of my, for my dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams, but I do. I do, as I record this right now in this moment, Mischa wants that. I want to be led from dreams of judgment. I want to be led to forgiving dreams and out of pain and fear. And I believe that that is a worthy goal to achieve.

Mischa Z: 07:29 Um, what else can I say in that regard? Uh, do I need to talk any more about this? Um, do do do now. I need to practice them awhile. Oh, so the very last sentence, “We seek to make them habits. Now you, so you will have them ready for whatever you need, for whatever, for whatever need, you will have them ready for whatever need. And I love the, "for whatever need". It's pretty broad. That leaves a lot of space for application of said steps. Um, oh my gosh. I am so excited for the, for the further rest. Oh man. I can't even believe I've made it to page six hundred and twenty five, three pages a day. One section a day. Ah, life is good. I do very much love and enjoy the "A Course In Miracles". I would encourage anybody to get it. Have a great day.
