True Connections with Weston Jolly Podcast

After providing over 15,000 hours in session and speaking, I recognize that… “You’re much stronger and more empowered than you think you are…”

My Story

Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is to actually see yourself. You may have taken personality tests, apptitude tests, and maybe you’ve wondered if your neudivergent?  But if you were to know anybody, it would seem logical that you’d know everything about yourself.

How you think, process, socialize, rationalize may not be nearly as important as getting in touch with your Higher Self.

Almost everyone THINKS they know themselves.  But you don’t. Have you ever had a close friend tell you something about yourself that you didn’t know?  There’s a lot to uncover in getting to know your real self.

Transcription: Know Thyself

[00:50.370] – Weston Jolly
Hi there. Thank you for joining me for True Connections with Weston Jolly. This is our 77th episode. Today, I want to talk about you. Our topic which is Know Thyself.

[01:05.480] – Weston Jolly
The biggest treasure you’ve yet undiscovered.

[01:09.120] – Weston Jolly
Now, you would think with the topic as knowing yourself, that if anyone in the world were to know who you are, it would be you, right? So isn’t it logical that you would know quite a bit about yourself? So if I asked your name, of course, you would give me that. Your height? Sure. What about your weight? Without looking at a scale. Can you tell me what your weight is?

[01:36.140] – Weston Jolly
Now, again, our whole intention is to have an understanding of who we are, to know ourselves. And we use all kinds of means to do that. When we think of, for example, becoming aware of who we are, sometimes we’ll use maybe something like a personality test. A personality test can tell us different kinds of things. It can tell us maybe that we have that we’re a conscientious person, or maybe that you’re agreeable, maybe neurotic, or open, or extroverted, or introverted. Do you associate with any of these top characteristics of having a big personality?

[02:23.910] – Weston Jolly
Does anything resonate within you?

[02:26.300] – Weston Jolly
But why would we need to have a personality test? Because, again, you would know who you are.

[02:31.990] – Weston Jolly
If we shifted our attention over to an aptitude test, which, of course, is showing us what strengths and weaknesses that we have, wouldn’t it be logical, again, that you would know that you are very good, athletically, and maybe smart as a whip, intellectually, and yet maybe have some other pieces that aren’t necessarily strengths as would be determined or measured by other people?

[02:58.440] – Weston Jolly
Now, in a work environment, being tested for your aptitude is quite common, right? Where a prospective employer wants to have an understanding of how you work, basically how you process and how you’ll work within their organization. And so they offer aptitude tests such as; numerical reasoning or verbal reasoning or situational judgment, cognitive abilities and spatial awareness and mechanical reasoning and abstract reasoning and verbal reasoning and on and on it goes to find out, again, what your strengths and weaknesses are. But my point is, do you know these things about yourself? Again, we’re just talking about the physical.

[03:33.920] – Weston Jolly
If we talk about your mind, how your mind processes, would you consider yourself to have a normal mind? That sounds like a leading question, right?

[03:45.550] – Weston Jolly
But maybe you have a neurodivergent mind. Now, that means that maybe you think differently. Sometimes ithe term neurodivergent we give consideration to other categories such as; autism spectrum disorder, or maybe even other categories such as attention deficit hyper activities for ADHD. And yet that’s not really what I’m asking. But if that’s something that is appropriate to who you are, that’s something to know.

[04:15.750] – Weston Jolly
As a quick side note, there is someone that shared with me actually a neurodivergent synopsis of who they are. They literally handed out a little a brief of how they think, socialize and process. Now, not many of us have done that. I don’t know if you walked into your job recently and handed them a little document, a little manifest in terms of how you operate.

[04:41.700] – Weston Jolly
I’m not talking about how much you weigh. I’m talking about how you think or how you get along with other people, what people you like, what energies that you bring to the office and what energies that aren’t necessarily great energies.

[04:51.900] – Weston Jolly
Are these things that you’re able to see of your own self? Now, we’re still talking about the physical. If we talk about, again, your body type, that should be easy, right?

[05:03.290] – Weston Jolly
How would you describe your body type? Are you an ectomorph or mesomorph or an endomorph? And of course, these are just very interesting terms for someone that is maybe thinner as an ectomorph to someone maybe that is a little bit thicker in the endomorph category. But again, these body types, just those three categories, should be easy for you to determine where you fit.

[05:26.500] – Weston Jolly
But then there’s the shape of your body, right? You could be triangular shaped or rectangular-shaped or oval-shaped, hourglass, etc. Do you know that about yourself? Have you given consideration to that?

[05:39.310] – Weston Jolly
And if I ask a question about your blood type… Do you know your blood type? Are you “A” or a “B” or “B-”?

[05:50.790] – Weston Jolly
Let’s continue shifting this discussion, of knowing yourself, a little bit towards the spiritual. What if I asked you your birth date? Clearly everyone knows their birth date, but maybe you don’t know what time you were born. And that could make a difference when you were looking at your astrological sign.

[06:06.730] – Weston Jolly
And so if we looked at different astrological signs, such as Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, etc, we want to give you an opportunity through these categorizations to have an understanding of who you are.

[06:21.550] – Weston Jolly
This is all about knowing who you are. But if you have used tools such as maybe Astrology to to reflect back to who you are, there’s something else to give consideration to, and that is, are you accepting what is being shared? That’s really big. That’s something we’re going to talk about in a half a moment.

[06:39.190] – Weston Jolly
As an example, if you are… I’ll use myself –a Gemini. When I first read the about my astrological sign, and I’m talking about when I did this upteen years ago, some pieces of it made sense to me, and the other pieces I felt like it was an over generalization. Now, that was my initial consideration. I wasn’t trying to be prejudiced against the process. I just didn’t necessarily see the depth of things that were being shared.

[07:07.570] – Weston Jolly
Some of the concepts about my personality or how I process or how I view things made sense. And yet I was curious. And so I shared this, my astrology synopsis about the whole Gemini Kingdom, if you will, with others around me, especially with those close to me to see what they thought.

[07:33.170] – Weston Jolly
And of course, my children and even my partner confirmed that, “Oh, yeah, these things are really you!” And I was like, “Really? I’m really having a hard time seeing that about myself.”

[07:42.740] – Weston Jolly
This is really what we want what I want to focus on with you today. And while we’ve been talking about things from body to mind to aptitudes, and how you process, we haven’t talked about how you socialize, blood types, astrological signs, these are all beautiful characteristics of you.

[08:01.370] – Weston Jolly
You becoming aware of who you are and what you’ve come here to express. Yet there’s so much more. And really, what I want to put our emphasis is on getting to know or maybe even rediscovering. This is why I’m sharing that this is the biggest treasure yet you’ve undiscovered, is getting in touch with your True Self or your Higher Self. And what does this mean? Sometimes that language is thrown about a little bit in terms of what is your Higher Self. So let’s discuss that. Your Higher Self is indeed this soul, that’s you, on the highest plane, coming into this embodiment and participating here. So if we tap into that, your Higher Self, should we say that’s the true essence?

[08:39.340] – Weston Jolly
That part of you is filled with knowledge, and I’ll use the term perfect knowledge of who you are way beyond your DNA, your family tree, your body type, your blood type, etc. Again, all of these pieces physically are, I like to use the term Hansel and Gretel-like-breadcrumbs, leading you to an understanding of you are.

[09:05.150] – Weston Jolly
So, to know yourself, is to really become aware of who you are – instead of just trying to give consideration to what you may or may not be. So, you getting to know yourself beyond the physical is intentional with our putting focus attention on your Higher Self or your Real Self. And we can do that through many different ways. There are tools, and one of the best tools that I’ve given consideration to that came to me falling in my lap was automatic writing. I feel so strongly about it that I put forth a course called Secrets of Free Writing. I really encourage you, if you are interested in this topic of really knowing thyself, that automatic writing or Secrets of Free Writing is a tremendous tool to do that.

[09:49.070] – Weston Jolly
Now, there’s a whole bunch of information on my website about Automatic Writing, and please go there because it’s worthy of your attention. I’m saying that not just because of my own experience, but because it offers you a continued reflection. Think of it like Meditating With a Pen(tm) , where you’re literally in this meditative space choosing to get in touch with your Higher Self, and you’re able to capture that through your writing.

[10:14.870] – Weston Jolly
If that’s something that does resonate with you, please check out Secrets of Freewriting

[10:24.890] – Weston Jolly
There are indeed other tools for you to get connected with your Higher Self. Some people may choose to use a tool such as yoga. And yoga is a very interesting tool because it keeps, in my opinion, your body busy in a very healthy way. It really instructs you through focused attention to breathe, which is a source, pun intended, of connecting with your higher self. And as you choose to remain connected to your higher self, you have an opportunity to, again, capture what I will reflect as the real you. Now, sometimes this feels out of sorts with those things that you have incarnated into.

[11:08.190] – Weston Jolly
There are plenty of people that have come into this realm and they look at their bodies and perhaps even their gender, and they wonder that maybe they made a mistake. Maybe their sexual affiliation being presented as male feels wrong when they feel within themselves that they should be female. And so they go to great lengths to make those changes, appropriately so, because this is something that they feel within themselves that needs to be aligned.

[11:33.440] – Weston Jolly
And of course, as you know that, it’s really giving yourself the tremendous gift. Think of the energy that it takes to have somebody go through such a transition where they feel comfortable enough to make that change within their physical embodiment to create an alignment with their spiritual self. I honor each and every person that gives themselves permission to exist regardless of how it might be considered from the outside.

[12:08.100] – Weston Jolly
Now, it’s not just about your body or your sexual orientation. Sometimes this means realizing where you come from in terms of the family tree, even right down to your, again, blood type or your DNA. Having an understanding that these things that make you look like Mom and Dad, or even the characteristics that were taught to you by Mom and Dad, and the community, that they may not be you.

[12:33.450] – Weston Jolly
It takes a brave soul, if I can use that term, to give themselves permission to see that, and to know that about themselves, and to make those changes. These changes come about through free-will choice, which is really incredible if we give consideration to that, that there’s endless possibilities for you to give yourself permission to really exist as you are.

[12:54.690] – Weston Jolly
Again, as a conscious being, and I want that to be understood because There’s no other species on Earth that has to deal with this. Other animals, if you will, don’t have to try to manage themselves. They are, if you will, a giraffe, a dog, or a cat, or a lion. These attributes aren’t necessarily something that needs to be worked at. And yet sometimes people, when they come to an understanding of having awareness of who they are, the question that they might present, and I hear a lot, they’ll ask the question, “Well, how do I be myself?”

[13:33.440] – Weston Jolly
That comes immediately after the discovery of who you are. In your choice to see yourself as you are through automatic writing or perhaps yoga, breathing, meditation, as we’ve talked about for a moment, these are tremendous tool presenting you total access to yourself.

[13:51.760] – Weston Jolly
This can be through guided meditation as well, where someone would guide you, perhaps through a recording, to have you be presented with questions like.

[14:00.500] – Weston Jolly
Who are you?

[14:02.840] – Weston Jolly
What have you come to express?

[14:06.510] – Weston Jolly
And as you give attention to this reflection, whether it’s coming through someone like myself, or through automatic writing, or again, yoga, or meditative state, you have an opportunity to accept that, which is something really, really important because guess what?

[14:20.100] – Weston Jolly
The mind or the egoic parts of you, that’s the part that wants to deny, right? That’s the part that wants to shift or push aside that this isn’t true. And yet when you channel or you participate in this consistently, you’ll find that some really beautiful attributes continue to show themselves.

[14:38.750] – Weston Jolly
Let me share with you this example. I was facilitating a woman, and I channeled that she was “beautiful”. Now, it wasn’t just a adjective that was being channeled to describe her physical beauty. It was describing something much deeper than that. And she had a significant resistance to the word. And she even asked me as the person facilitating, “Could there be another word, beyond being called ”beautiful” that could be used?

[15:04.576]
I laughed and I said, “No, that’s actually the word that is being chosen, that I’m channeling the word ‘beautiful’ because of your resistance to it.”

[15:15.490] – Weston Jolly
And she said, “I feel irritated with that word.” And I said, “I understand. And if you force me to use another word, I can. However, from a spiritual perspective, from a pure channeling perspective, that is indeed the correct term. And then she bent a little bit and said, ”I understand.”

[15:35.790] – Weston Jolly
And in this example, she was resisting what we’ll call her spiritual or inner luminescence. Now, she was indeed a beautiful woman, but she wasn’t necessarily seen as a beautiful woman from the inside. A lot of times people saw her external beauty and that was fine. But she was trying or wanting or hoping to give herself permission to have access to something greater. But yet she was denying that.

[16:02.930] – Weston Jolly
I’m sharing this example because that’s something for each of us to give consideration to, because sometimes when we get to know who we really are, we’ll tend to reject it. We can do that when we jump on a scale. We can reject the idea that we weigh that much or we weigh that little. But we don’t want to do that when we really tap into knowing who we are.

[16:23.500] – Weston Jolly
And if we’re using spirit, tapping into Source in whatever infinite ways that you want to have access to, then you’re going to find that they’re very consistent in showing you some really specific things about who you are.

[16:33.060] – Weston Jolly
So if Source is sharing with you that “you’re very loving,” please don’t roll your eyes yeah, all right, whatever. And yet that’s, again, this part of the resistance. We don’t want to do that. In fact, that’s the part most of all that we want to give attention to, focus attention. As we continue to accept that, you’re going to bounce into some really cool things that could be described as uncomfortable as I was mentioning.

[16:59.900] – Weston Jolly
But I’m encouraging for you to accept everything and to stop denying or pushing away the truth. And some of these concepts are as easy as having an understanding of some basic attributes of what you’ve come here to do. Now, again, in this realm, this physical realm of coming to Earth as an incarnate being, not everyone’s choosing to do something that would be transformative from a low level to a higher level.

[17:25.560] – Weston Jolly
There’s plenty of people who are coming to this realm just to participate, like an actor who is acting the part of being somebody who’s “mean or behaviorally maladjusted,” or wanting to take advantage of people or maybe wanting to cheat or steal or even worse. And for those these things are fine. That’s just a part of this realm.

[17:47.920] – Weston Jolly
But if there’s some part of you that has been searching or needing or wanting to discover, again, who you are, again, beyond the physical, then this is that place to really jump into who you are. And seeing that and feeling that and having recognition. So let me share some of those things with you because it’s very important.

[18:06.730] – Weston Jolly
Do you see yourself as loving?

– Weston Jolly
Don’t just hear the sentence. Feel it.

– Weston Jolly
Are you compassionate?

– Weston Jolly
Are you sensitive?

– Weston Jolly
How do things affect you?

[18:22.730] – Weston Jolly
Whether that’s personal to you, that’s your own body, or even outside of your own body. Somebody could sneeze on a plane and it could affect you. Again, there’s no right or wrong answer here, right? But as you choose to really get in touch with who you are, your Higher Self, you’ll find that there’s really beautiful pieces that, again, continue to be seen again and again.

[18:45.760] – Weston Jolly
So if you find that you have a deep compassion for people, or animals, or even the environment, there’s reasons for that. And when you align with that, meaning to know that about yourself, it isn’t an oddity –like a salmon swimming upstream.

[19:05.340] – Weston Jolly
That species is designed to do that for very specific reasons of spawning. But if we understand what we are in terms of who we really are on this soul level, in this Higher Self level, as we participate in the physical level, it becomes easier. Now, this becomes even funner when we tap into how we want to express ourselves.

[19:26.560] – Weston Jolly
Now, when that becomes aligned, meaning when we align ourselves in terms of who we are, and we align that with something that we’ve come here to really want to express, such as a desire, oh, my gosh, it becomes easy. You’ll find that if you study and put attention to this, that those people who are expressing and really good at it, whether that being an actor or a singer or maybe even spiritually inclined, that there’s an alignment to that, meaning that’s really who they are, and then they’re matching that with this choice to express.

[19:57.440] – Weston Jolly
In essence, it becomes easy. That’s something not as a spiritual aptitude test that you want to give yourself, but you want to remember, as you incorporate that into your physical self, it creates an ease, a comfort, a beauty.

[20:12.700] – Weston Jolly
Ultimately, there’s no resistance. And even someone recognizing that as a tremendous aptitude that you have or this gift of you being very loving or maybe extraordinarily compassionate with animals such as a veterinarian. Those attributes are, of course, spiritual applied from the physical perspective, and that’s match, we can feel that.

[20:31.100] – Weston Jolly
If you have talked to a veterinarian who’s participating in that career, you’ll feel unduly connected to them versus someone who’s just doing time and wanting to help the pet, your pet, and of course, in exchange for money. But most of us who are very connected to our animals will want someone that wants to take care of our pets and animals the same way that we do, which is through love… Then we’re not just feeding or taking care of a pet for the pet’s sake. We’re choosing to participate in a way that’s very aligned with our wanting to share love, even with the animal kingdom; our dog, cat, horse, hamster, rat, or even a lizard.

[21:15.070] – Weston Jolly
It’s really exciting to understand, again, who you are and what you come to express. And these expressions, physically and spiritually, if you choose, can be aligned. So let’s go into that just a little bit. If you find yourself very compassionate and very loving, and yet you are participating in something like telemarketing, where that entity is designed to consciously take advantage of people through that effort, you may find that to be difficult.

[21:43.780] – Weston Jolly
And it could even cause physical issues within your body, which is your body saying, “Hey, this doesn’t match. We have an imbalance.” The spiritual self is saying, “This is outside of what we really want to do.” And yet the body is saying, “Hey, we need to be paid because we need to live, we need to have food, etc. and we’re doing what we have to do.” And yet, there is a fundamental conflict. And that can come in many different forms. And yet when we choose to see that we can create alignment outside of any limitation, which, of course, comes from the mind or the ego. Again, I use the term shell. When I use the term Shell, I want you to think of eggshell.

[22:18.980] – Weston Jolly
It’s this external piece that we think that we are, and that comes from the mind. Interestingly enough, we can’t point to that within the mind body. Where the ego exists and where it doesn’t exist. And yet each of us have an ego. This is why we use the name, your name.

[22:39.380] – Weston Jolly
But when we go beyond beyond this thing that we call a name, which is easy to reflect, we tie or are connected to this spiritual essence. And this spiritual essence is much more powerful than, if you will, my name or your name. And when we tap into that, it creates an attraction to us. And of course, that attraction is beyond in this physical lifetime.

[23:01.570] – Weston Jolly
So you won’t forget me, in afterlife, if you will, because of my spiritual signature. Now, that’s a vibration. That’s something that is tied to my name in this incarnation. And this same spiritual signature has been used in previous incarnations. I have had different names, different bodies, different genders, perhaps. Certainly different lineages in terms of the family. And yet, how can I do that? How can I participate in lineage one and be this character or this person and then come here again in a second reincarnation, in a third incarnation?

[23:37.440] – Weston Jolly
Yet this is all a part of us wanting to get to know who we are on a very connected level.

[23:45.190] – Weston Jolly
Now, to do that, to really connect, and we’ve been using, talking about these different tools, again, Secrets of Freewriting, automatic writing, and yoga breathing, meditation, all of these tools are really offering you an opportunity to go within. When we tap into that connected with in state, again, we’ll find that there’s consistency in showing us who we are.

[24:06.380] – Weston Jolly
Now, sometimes that can be very challenging because if you’re told that “you’re very loving,” and that’s in conflict to what your mom and dad told you that you weren’t or aren’t… And in my case, if you’re told you’re too loving –imagine that —someone telling you that you’re too loving, then that can create a conflict.

[24:24.130] – Weston Jolly
It’s just a conflict to your mind or that condition that you grew up with. This is something that we want to observe, but not be, shall we say, overly attached to.

[24:37.090] – Weston Jolly
We want to go past that. Giving yourself permission to tap into your Higher Self, your True Self, is to really know who you are. It’s the biggest treasure yet undiscovered. As you spend time in this space, which is just basically focused attention, and you can do that just by holding an attention right now –“I choose to know who I am.”

[25:00.600] – Weston Jolly
When you choose that, you’ll hear words from Source like; “Creator” or “love,” you may bump into the competitive mind, again, coming from the shell or the ego. But in time, this conflict will begin to diminish. In fact, you’ll find yourself moving into, we could use the term a divine state. We could also use the terms a connected state, a unifying state, and even a state of oneness.

[25:29.530] – Weston Jolly
This connected state, is something that’s very consistent, regardless of your background, regardless of where in the world that you’ve come from, regardless of a philosophy that you’ve been exposed to from a condition perspective. This oneness is what brings us together. And this is why this is so important for you to give yourself permission to really see who you are, to get in touch with your Higher Self.

[25:54.320] – Weston Jolly
And you can just ask a question, What is my Higher Self? What does it have to say? In this moment, give consideration to what your Higher Self wants to tell you?

[26:06.740] – Weston Jolly
Or like Hansel and Gretel follow the bread trail leading you to have further personal development of who you are. Be attentive to these things, your personality, your weight, your body type, these pieces, the way you think, the way you process, even the way your mind processes. It’s all beautiful clues.

[26:33.950] – Weston Jolly
Some of what you may find won’t be in spiritual alignment with who you are. This part of the puzzle won’t fit. When that’s happening, instead of trying to force a puzzle piece, we want to observe the fact that I am not thinking the way everyone else is thinking, even though my whole family thinks that way.

[26:43.930] – Weston Jolly
I choose to give myself permission to observe that I’m neurodivergent compared to my family. And that’s okay. That means I’m just thinking differently than my family does. And that’s maybe a good thing. And if we see that you don’t have to fight with that, then we are able to accept who you really are.

[27:04.730] – Weston Jolly
And again, that’s a very key term. So you being in comfortable to accept who you are through this reflection of your Higher Self, that’s what this is all about.

[27:15.950] – Weston Jolly
Put focused attention on you becoming aware of what your Higher Self and what it wants to reflect to you. Be attentive to that. Write it down. Do that now.

[27:26.720] – Weston Jolly
If you’re listening to this in a car, fine. When you get home, take a moment, breathe. Become connected, ask, “What is it that my Higher Self wants to tell me in this particular moment?”

[27:39.310] – Weston Jolly
That’s a question I’m asked often, especially by my family members, because there’s an interest for that reflection to be shown to them again and again. When you’re asking questions like that, and when you’re putting focused attention on seeing your Higher Self, you’ll find that there is a pattern.

[27:53.610] – Weston Jolly
This is when all the puzzle pieces start to come together. This is why I say that it’s easy. Suddenly there’s an a sense of understanding of what you’ve come to express, and that when that coincides with the physical pieces, then your claim your choice to physically express becomes really wonderful and quite easy and fun.

[28:11.280] – Weston Jolly
I hope this has been tremendously beneficial to you to give yourself permission to really know who you are.

[28:16.140] – Weston Jolly
This is the biggest treasure yet undiscovered, and so giving your attention to it is without merit in terms of what it will do for you.

Transcription: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Will Make You Obsolete

[00:55.120] – Weston Jolly
There may be real reasons AI is freaking you out. How does AI spiritually impact you? What things should we be spiritually aware of when using AI? Should we spiritually question artificial intelligence?

Artificial intelligence is being talked about everywhere.

Let me share with you a handful of things that are popping up in today’s news.

This is the question, At some point in the future will AI be able to do everything a human can do, but better?

Yes, this has always been the goal, according to Stuart Russell, author of The Book About AI. But, how do we know where AI is getting its information from? Where does AI gather its source material?

Short answer? We don’t know. There is no transparent AI practice.

Will there ever be?

This is one strategy of social manipulation.

No one knows what’s real and what’s not.

[01:56.470] – Weston Jolly
Within six years, 300 million jobs could be lost, according to the investment firm Goldman Sachs, especially for Black and Hispanic employees.

AI led trading or “algorithmic trading” could be responsible for the next major financial crisis in our markets. Do you all remember the crash in 2010? One of the godfathers of AI, Jeffrey Hinton, who has worked for 50 years in developing AI, mostly for Google, says that AI could get more intelligent than us and could decide to take over. He says that we need to start worrying now to develop a plan to prevent that from happening.

From the BBC, Yoshua Bengio, another godfather of AI, says, “I would have prioritized safety over usefulness had I realized the pace in which it would evolve.”

This comment was made after computer scientists and experts shared that AI could actually lead to the extinction of humanity. We also have Forbes reporting that AI is a battleground. The Wall Street Journal suggests that Apple, Microsoft, and Alpha are all competing to be in power. NPR shares an interview with an AI expert who says,” AI appeared to understand a joke I was sharing. That was very unsettling.”

[03:17.750] – Weston Jolly
AI could outperform humans, possibly in as soon as five years. CNN shares a line that reads: Elon Musk says AI will take ALL our jobs.

To get AI’s perspective, I asked Microsoft ChatGPT the question, “Who will dominate AI in the next few years?”

And you should absolutely read AI’s response.

Again, this response is generated by artificial intelligence. You have to read the full transcript of what AI had to say about its “parents” if I can use that word.

[04:02.980] – Weston Jolly
Please take a moment and read everything AI had to say word for word.

Microsoft’s ChatGPT response to the question
June 10, 2024

It is difficult to predict who will dominate AI in the next few years as the field is constantly evolving and new breakthroughs are being made regularly. However, some of the companies and organizations that are currently leading the AI space and are likely to continue to dominate include:

Some influential people in the AI field who are likely to continue shaping the future of AI in the next few years include:

These are just a few of the companies, organizations, and influential figures in the AI field who are likely to continue to make significant contributions and shape the direction of AI in the coming years.

[04:13.210] – Weston Jolly
But let’s move our focus beyond the companies and authors of AI to some other important players.

Think billionaires. Billionaire investors like Mark Andreessen, worth $2 billion. You remember him. He was the first creator of the browser, the Netscape browser.

And Vinod Khosla. He’s worth $7 billion. He co-founded a company called Sun Microsystems.

And there are many Billionaires wanting to invest and to be in control of Artificial Intelligence. But listen to what Vinod said at the US Capitol just this last week.

“Winning the race for AI means economic power, which then lets you influence social policy or ideology.”

Does this sound familiar? Haven’t we heard this before?

I know we have.

[05:11.220] – Weston Jolly
This statement reminds me a lot of John F. Kennedy’s speech, We Choose to go to the Moon. Let’s listen in to some clips of President Kennedy’s speech presented over 60 years ago.

[05:24.060] – John F. Kennedy
“The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds. The vast stretches of the unknown and the unanswered and the unfinished still far outstrip our collective comprehension. No man can fully grasp how far and how fast we have come. This is a breathtaking pace, and such a pace cannot help but create new ills as it dispels old, new ignorance, new problems, new dangers. And therefore, as we set sail, we ask God’s blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked. We ask God’s blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous, and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.”

[06:27.400] – Weston Jolly
Did you hear that last statement? As We set sail to ask God’s blessing on the most hazardous and dangerous and greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked.

And here it is that we begin, again.

Ethically and from a spiritual standpoint, what does Source have to say about AI? I have crafted these questions from people just like you who are concerned about AI and how it’s going to impact humanity. I thought it would be wonderfully insightful and helpful to hear channeled answers from Source about AI.

By the way, please make your way to the comment section or email me directly if you have more questions about AI that you’d like to be channeled.

[07:16.840] – Weston Jolly
I have quite a few questions to get through.

Question. The first question reads, “I have about a billion questions. I guess the first is, I’m concerned that AI will take over.”

Channeled Response: It’s important for you to realize that you do not need to be in fear of the future and what you think of as “the end.” Yes, there will be significant changes that take place technologically as things continue to progress forward. Yet, these things, this “artificial intelligence”, has existed at times in the past. This is something that most of you don’t remember, yet it is important for you to give consideration to this fact as we continue throughout this dialog.

You do not need to be afraid. However, there is an opportunity. One could describe it as a fork in the road for you to choose to become aware of what is real and what isn’t. When you think of Source, That Which Is, which is infinite in nature, your mind does not have the ability to comprehend even the very nature of these words.

This is fine.

Yet in your choice to create technology, to create such things as artificial intelligence, it is a regurgitation of something that’s very familiar within you.

This is, of course, the egoic mind.

You must understand that both AI and the egoic mind regurgitate things around them.

The egoic mind is a piece of you that is used to create the idea of separation, the identity of who you think that you are. This perceived separation allows you to exist in this Earth plane.

However, like artificial intelligence, it isn’t real. This is the fork in the road that we just mentioned. You will have to choose, if you so desire, to either be subject to the egoic mind, and/or its byproducts, such as artificial intelligence, or you will allow yourself to connect to the real Source. There’s much to share as we continue to go forward.

[09:07.190] – Weston Jolly
Question. The next Question “AI seems to be both a blessing and a curse. Which is it?”

Channeled Response: This is a layered question because technology, like anything else, can be used in both ways. This is an interesting question because it also presents something that’s very important for people to observe, to see and to know. It brings to light the duality of this plane. The idea that there is good and bad, light and dark. These concepts are binary- there are only two options and they are opposites of one another. In your choice to realize that there are more options than just these two categories, growth will occur.

You, yourself, have chosen to use AI in a way that aligns with your soul’s purpose. You, personally, have chosen to contribute the connectedness of people.

As you go to create, you will find that contributing to the whole is very important to you.

Of course, there are those who have come to this plane to contribute to the whole in a backwards way, or in a way that could be described as destructive. The choice for AI to be labeled as “good” or “bad” is clearly up to you. What do you choose?

What have you been choosing?

[11:03.470] – Weston Jolly
Question Is AI good for humanity?

Channeled Response: We are very pleased to address this question. AI was an inevitable outcome in your choice to continue to depend upon technology as a means to go forward.

This has been done in previous times.

Your choice to realize that AI doesn’t have to be bad or good is something that we’ve just previously spoken about.

You don’t need to fear that any technology could take over unless this is what you desire. If this is what you desire, then you can relinquish your spirit and creative soul. You can become dominated by your lower self, your ego, your shell and artificial intelligence.

Your choice to allow AI to continue to operate on behalf of humans is something that’s beautiful, but it will have a tremendous impact.

This impact could be seen by some as tragic. Things will be different moving forward when they are compared to how things used to be.. Spirit is interested to see what you will choose to create.

[12:14.380] – Weston Jolly
Question Can you help me to see what is positive about AI?

Channeled Response: Yes, there are many beautiful things that can be done with AI. These are things that don’t need to depend upon the human mind or body, especially those things that are repetitive in nature.

The positive aspects of artificial intelligence are indeed vast. AI allows you to process information quickly. This is not just for mechanical things such as driving cars, or computing vast complicated mathematical models. AI will enable you to process, or one could say,” think”, and we use that term very carefully. AI does not promote your choice to be spiritually connected.

There are many things that AI has and continues to offer you in a very, very developed way. You certainly don’t need to be afraid.

[13:40.140] – Weston Jolly
Question It appears to me that AI will not only change every part of the world, but it seems like it is a direct threat.

[13:47.090] – Weston Jolly
Channeled Response: We understand the nature of your fear. This is something that you must deal with.

Of course, fear comes from only that one part within you that creates separation.

It is called the egoic mind.

You have threatened others because you feel threatened.

Therefore, in this moment, you feel threatened by something that could take over. That takeover was the stated objective of some of the designers of AI.

This is something for you to give consideration to.

Like with every technology of the past, for example, the atom bomb, enormous amounts of energy can be produced by AI. The energy can be used proactively to create energy.

The duality of using something for, the “good” or the “bad” is something for you to consider.

You don’t need to be afraid of allowing yourself to go forward. Give yourself permission to really see what you have been creating. Artificial intelligence only tends to average all the things that are being shared. You don’t need to think of it as a threat. Yet, if you choose to think competitively, this only comes from the shell, or the ego. The true aspects of who you are, coming directly from Source, recognizes no threat in your choice to be who you are.

You will find that creativity isn’t something that can be taken away from you. You are beautifully created.

And in this understanding, you can use your ability to choose to be connected or to be unconnected. The disconnection occurs through the ego or through artificial intelligence. Your lower self might think that you’re connected when in fact, you’re not.

[15:52.880] – Weston Jolly
Question Is it just me or does AI threaten all of our jobs? And how will this affect the world economy?

Channeled Response: We appreciate the nature of your question and the idea that your job is something that defines you.

We must ask you the qestion do you feel that your job represents you? Regardless of what it is that you choose to do for a living, is your job who you are? That’s the question. This is something for you to give consideration to because, of course, many people have chosen to become who they think they are through the things that they do.

Imagine yourself at a black-tie affair. Someone asks you, “What do you do?” Iin that moment, your response becomes very important. It is as if your job or position qualifies you as worthy to be present at this elite event. In essence, your occupation gives you value.

If you think that AI threatens your job and, by extension, you as a person, then this has everything to do with the mind or the ego. In terms of the economy, your choice to see how these technologies will affect the structures of not just the economy, but of literally everything is very important.

Very few people have an understanding of the degree to which AI will affect others.

AI, for example, can eliminate the need for drivers, doctors, surgeons, therapists, mathematicians, programmers, accountants, and scientists.

And this doesn’t even account for the creative fields such as graphic designers, photographers, models, actors, editors, and musicians. Eliminating all of these jobs or positions will, of course, put a lot of people out of work instantly.

This part is something that’s very different because in times past, there have been technologies that have threatened a given industry. Yet this particular technology is something that will impact all industries. And this is something that needs to be thought of as something that you blend into or participate with.

You must understand this basic premise- you are creators. You don’t need to be afraid of someone taking something from you.

This “taking” is done in a physical form even as we speak. There are countries that steal technology or ideas in order to replicate them. These countries are very good at replication. In fact, they have determined that this is a resource. In the same way that you might think of gold as a natural resource, they have chosen to create an unnatural resource by duplicating someone else’s material, idea, music, or technology. These countries, such as China, are something observe.

[18:48.910] – Weston Jolly
However, there’s nothing that you need to be afraid of because this replication has been going on for some time. It will soon be magnified through the technology of artificial intelligence, which can and is threatening these ideas that you hold so dear. You fear that your creativity is something that can be taken from you. It can’t.

There are infinite amounts of creativity for you to tap into. Yet, if you remain thinking that you will be limited or that something will be taken from you, including even your own creative expression, it will have a direct impact on your choice to go forward. In essence, you will shut down. You’ll become disconnected, no longer sharing with us as Source, but remaining afraid about will happen if you continue to open up to express something. There’s much for you to give consideration to as you continue to go forward.

But be reminded, you are Creators.

You do not need to hesitate. Allow yourself to be who you are and really seen as such.

This next Question says: Will AI change how a grocery store or even a retail store is laid out based upon traffic patterns that are tracked with cameras and our cell phones in the stores?
This is something that’s happening at the current moment. There are people who want to watch what everyone is doing like the “eye of God”. They want to know what everyone is thinking. Their goal is to capitalize on such patterns.

[20:31.810] – Weston Jolly
This, too, is something that needs to be observed. And of course, this can become automated through the use of artificial technology. So, to answer this question, there are security experts who use AI to determine what patterns might indicate someone’s choice to shoplift.

Certainly, this will include certain industries, such as the car insurance industry. If your car is being tracked through technology, as most of the newer cars are today, you will find that your choice to lie to your insurance carrier about your driving patterns or conditions is something that will be corrected through artificial technology.

Those who are trying to cheat the system will indeed be held more accountable for their choice to try to get away with something. This changes the landscape, does it not? It even invokes the idea that others will be called to participate in truth, even when it’s not their desire to do so. This will occur globally.

Therefore, governing artificial intelligence becomes an impossible task.

There are many men or male-dominated institutions who are promoting the idea that they need to control these aspects of global oversight . Did you notice that when ChatGPT was asked about the major players in AI, not one woman was named ?

[22:17.850] – Weston Jolly
Are you willing to ask the question, “Why aren’t women participating in artificial intelligence to the degree that men are?” That’s the question. We will come back to that based upon your interest in the future. For the moment, it is important for you to consider why artificial intelligence is coming to be a major global presence.

There is a desire to remove the mundane aspects of humanity and to replace it with technology that can do things more easily. Yes, there will be a transparency that takes place. In addition, ultimately, there will be an equalization that takes place. There will no longer be one country or part of the world that produces products more cheaply than another. This technology will remove that current reality.

It will remove the idea that obscene profits can be taken from people because they were unaware of other options.

As another example, artificial intelligence will properly report the cost of medicines.

The price of developing a new drug, and the actual cost of health care will be common knowledge.

In those countries, such as the United States, that continue to exploit such opportunities, these things will be reduced, if not completely changed.

So, you could say that artificial intelligence will indeed change the landscape of all things.

It could be stated that artificial intelligence will put everyone on an equal playing field. But isn’t this a good thing?

Those of you who aren’t benefitting from the inequities will feel that these are good ideas. Those of you who are wanting to control will feel the most threatened.

You will be and tracked within a grocery store, a retail store, or even in your vehicles. These things will all be done automatically. And everybody will come to know the patterns that people participate in when they are in these places. Your opportunity to be in truth is at hand.

[24:13.960] – Weston Jolly

Question My concern is that Facebook, Instagram, X, Google are already stealing all of our personal posts, pictures, comments, and thoughts. And these same companies are already using AI to change the “news,” how we think and how we perceive things.

Channeled Response: Yes, we understand that some social media companies are inappropriately using the information that they glean when they watch the patterns of your searches.

What is it within you that has you searching?

This question is something important for you to understand. This, of course, comes from the egoic self, trying to find something. Will searching for answers outside of yourself get you the answers that you seek?

In essence, you are searching through the collective mind.

Some people would say, “To some degree, yes, I will get the answers that I seek from the egoic mind.” We understand this choice. Yet, if you seek to find Source within you, it is there.

We remain present within you if you choose to have this access.

Therefore, the idea that someone can take something from you by looking through your posts, comments, or online thoughts, becomes funny. That is not possible unless you continue to depreciate yourself. This is a part of the fork in the road that you’re having to choose. Will you become disempowered or fully empowered?

These choices, again, are yours. Be reminded that your choice to connect with yourself, with others, and with all aspects of this realm, even outside of this realm, is deeply encouraged.

[26:23.890] – Weston Jolly
Yet many of you give no consideration to such things whatsoever. You only want to value the egoic parts of yourself.

You ask, “What can it do for me?” Whether that’s technology, a job, or a position. You want to compete with other people..

These are all attributes, again, of the shell or the ego.

If you allow yourself to really understand the depth of what’s being shared here, then you will understand that your choice to be called upon as a creator, to be truly divinely connected, is indeed the opportunity at hand. This technology, artificial intelligence, will only enhance your choice to become aware. It encourages you to make a choice about what you wish to do going forward. Should you remain disempowered or become fully connected?

[26:41.170] – Weston Jolly

Question I’ve read that the purpose of AI is to do everything that a human would do. If that’s the case, what will we do?

Channeled Response: This is a very significant question that has already been addressed. We ask you to continue to remember your origins as the creators that you are.

Artificial intelligence did not invent itself. It was created by people to do mundane things that you think you don’t want to do any longer. This is fine. Yet your choice to be truly accountable for yourself as the creator that you are is something that’s deeply, deeply encouraged.

When we use the term “creator”, we don’t mean to limit you to creating new people by producing babies. We encourage you to engage in the creation of all aspects of creativity, which come from Us.

In this understanding to be connected to Source, you will find that creativity and being a creator is something that’s very, very magical in nature. And as everyone, not just the scant few, participate in this aspect, you will find that there is a connection that really fuels you in your choice to come together. One could say that you will find a true connection. This is beautiful for you to remember in your choice to come forward.

[28:33.450] – Weston Jolly
Question Aren’t religions going to be affected by AI?

Channeled Response: Of course they will. And of course, like all the other structures that have been listed before, such as technology, industries, science and math, what makes you think that political realms or even the religious realms will not be affected by the regurgitation of the collective egoic mind?

Yes, there will be further transparency within religion and philosophies. There will be transparency surrounding the ways people use money and power. Philosophies and religions that try to control one person or a group of people through false beliefs will be exposed. Again, these things will become more and more transparent as artificial intelligence becomes used on a greater scale.

And it will indeed, dramatically impact the religious leaders of the world who are seeking to control.

This is going to be considered something good or undesired, depending on your point of view.

[29:36.900] – Weston Jolly

Question Spiritually speaking, should I avoid using AI and drastically oppose it, including social media, the news, my phone, my car, etc.?

Channeled Response: Your choice to try to step away from the progress of an individual, let alone mankind, becomes impossible. You do not have to blindly participate with social media by making comments or likes or allowing others and their organizations to take your personal information from you. You can use discernment.as you continue to participate when you purchase a particular service or product.

Many of you think that it’s a rite of passage to give away everything that you have in the idea that you’re going to get something free.

[30:43.380] – Weston Jolly
Do you know that there are people who have been consciously working the system against you? They use your ego to influence you. Companies such as Alpha have done that from the very beginning. They choose to exploit the need that you express in your online searches. This is why they want to continue to dominate your ego so that they can always be seen as the source for giving you the answers to those things that you’re searching for.

This is, of course, is funny. The idea that you need to search for something outside of yourself is incorrect.

Yet, at the moment, social media is dependent upon your search information. You only give consideration to the mind and your desire to be filled with something, which is merely information, not necessarily knowledge.

Give consideration to exactly what we’re saying.

If you think that you need to be affected in a very negative way, then this belief will be used against you. When you submit all of your personal information to social media and AI, you will be negatively affected.

If you seek to be seen in a different way, then you will stand up strongly, determining what things can be shared and cannot be shared with the technologies or with the companies that are wanting to take from you.

[32:10.180] – Weston Jolly

Question Don’t we need government to control the use of AI?

Channeled Response: Clearly, the governing individuals of any government throughout the world have always been used as a means to control the people. So, the idea that you need to have that body, that government, to continue to protect you is indeed something that needs to be addressed.

Because, of course, this goes back to the egoic mind. It fears that it needs to be protected. Therefore, you need to be protected by this entity, these people, or this government. If you seek to have the government and you hope that they will offer you some comfort in your use of artificial intelligence, then you will be wholly disappointed as you continue to go forward.

The controls that these individuals may implement , if any, will come way too late because these individuals may or may not have a good grasp on what’s going to take place as things come down this path.

This is something that could be described as good because it will enable all of the people, this means the people of the world, to have an understanding that they may or may not need such governmental institutions or any entity, religious leader or other power that stands in the way of having access to the divinity within.

All of this information is something that’s available from within you. This is really something that you can tap into, if you so desire.

[33:53.170] – Weston Jolly
Question How can we stop artificial intelligence?

Channeled Response: This is a very interesting question. It is based upon the idea that someone wants to stop or prevent one-half of a wave.

We use the term wave, so that you might visualize an ocean wave. Could you stop one-half of it from expressing itself? Another way to look at this would be- could someone stop the growth of a seed by relentlessly chopping it down like a weed in the garden? Will that somehow remove this choice or this expression?

Likewise, this isn’t something that will be stopped or shoved aside. This is not something that can be controlled. This is something for you to understand and to appreciate, not to try and stop. Own that you don’t have to try to control something by stopping it. Instead, appreciate that this is something that does not need to run wild within you? Again, we’re speaking of the egoic mind.

[35:21.070] – Weston Jolly
Question I’m very concerned that most people don’t understand how great the threat of AI is to our privacy. It reads our email, reports the news, and even takes part in our government and our way of life. Should we just submit to AI?

Channeled Response: If you allow something, anything, an idea, a thought, a technology, to be seen as a threat to you and as something that you must submit to, then you become disempowered. This is the complete opposite of existing in an empowered state and as the creator that you are.

To be a creator, you must understand that this comes from being united and connected. Creativity is something goes way beyond this particular silly, and we use that term very consciously, artificial intelligence. You do not need to be dependent upon something that’s just averaging and regurgitating the information it gathers. To one degree, this technology, artificial intelligence, is like the mind when you find yourself replicating things based upon what you see.

Can you see the parallel?

Only you are real.

The potential of your connection is absolutely real. Artificial intelligence is merely something that comes from the mind. It might demonstrate something that perhaps you haven’t seen before.

It’s like a worker who builds his own house. He doesn’t have an understanding of the things that he’s building because he’s too close to his project. It is too personal to him.

[36:36.470] – Weston Jolly
Artificial intelligence presents an opportunity for you to see things that perhaps you haven’t seen before in a tangible form. This is desired so that you can make certain changes of empowerment or disempowerment based upon your view.

These are the questions that I had for us today regarding artificial intelligence. I hope it does give you a clearer understanding of what artificial intelligence is doing, where it’s going, and how you might participate. There’s a great deal to give consideration to, so maybe this topic is something that will just remain open, and perhaps that’s the best thing that we can do in terms of offering a conclusion.

If you do have other questions, send me an email, and I’ll seek to put them together and perhaps do another podcast addressing the same subject in a more detailed way. Until we speak again. Thank you for being here.

It only takes a few minutes.  Your comments and review truly assist others in becoming a part of our spiritual community.

Of course. Lily, can you maybe give us a little bit of background in terms of yourself personally and professionally specific to our topic, How To Parent Your Highly Sensitive Child.

[00:02:05.710] – Lily
Sure. Well, I’ll start off professionally, and then I’ll get personal. So professionally, I have been a teacher for over 20 years. I’ve worked with students primarily who have special needs. So students who have hearing loss is my main focus, but also students with a variety of special needs, including students who are gifted. So, I have experience in intentional populations that differ from the norm. And so I think that’s a lot of what we’ll be talking about today …kids who are just different than what would be expected.

[00:02:44.550] – Lily
What if someone who’s different from the normal range of experience? I really became interested in that for a number of reasons, but also because I myself am a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), and there was no recognition of that other than I was labeled as gifted in the school system. So, I did have some acknowledgement that I was academically different than the norm, but that did not blossom to the understanding that my whole person or my whole being was in some ways very different than what would be typically understood as normal.

[00:03:25.520] – Lily
So, I think that’s a really important part of the discussion is that someone who is highly sensitive is a whole being, and it is not something that can be categorized as in this circumstance, the person is highly sensitive, or in another circumstance, they’re fine.

[00:03:44.960] – Weston
Right.

[00:03:46.060] – Lily
It’s a whole person who is affected by this reality.

[00:03:51.090] – Weston
Let me kick in here myself. Certainly, I will join you from a personal perspective. This is why I wanted to put us together. Again, I’m very grateful for your being here again, Lily. That I had no clue, that I was highly sensitive. I didn’t discover this until much, much later. And even then, when I did, it was like, okay. I didn’t see necessarily a negative thing or a positive thing. I just didn’t know what to do with it.

[00:04:24.340] – Weston
A lot of the characteristics were like, Oh, wow. And I want to talk about that real quickly, from a physical perspective, if that’s okay with you, to just talk about some of the general characteristics in terms of how this is sometimes categorized. But I really don’t want to be stuck in the physical, I’m looking to do something different in our dialog talking a little bit because we’re coming from a spiritual perspective. I want to definitely offer that insight as well.

[00:04:51.850] – Weston
And we’re going to talk about the physical. I definitely want to talk about the parenting piece. I should say this, How to Parent Your Highly Sensitive Child is It’s a misconception.

[00:05:03.330] – Weston
Maybe we could have entitled this podcast;
How to Teach Your Highly Sensitive Child or
How to Play with Your Highly Sensitive Child or
How to Engage with Your Highly Sensitive Child, or maybe for some people,
How to Understand Your Highly Sensitive Child

[00:05:18.030] – Weston
Because I’m just going to start there. With my own self, I don’t think… No, I’ll just re-state that. My family didn’t have a clue about my sensitivity. Was that true with you?

[00:05:29.910] – Lily
I would say no. I would say they recognize that something was wrong.

[00:05:35.120] – Weston
(Laughing) Sorry for that. Okay.

[00:05:39.500] – Lily
It’s not that it wasn’t noticed. It was noticed. It was labeled as wrong, bad, and get rid of this, whatever it is.

[00:05:46.800] – Weston
I just want to give a quick story. I was sitting in the car with my dad. We were stuck in traffic, and we were behind this diesel truck, and the exhaust was horrific. I just was overwhelmed, overwhelmed with the sensitivity of anything and everything, but especially the smell of exhaust. And I turned to my dad and I said, “Gosh, the smell in the car is horrible.” And he turns to me and said, “We’re stuck in traffic. What do you want me to do about it?”

[00:06:15.110] – Weston
And he was mad at me for being this sensitive. I thought, I guess I should be quiet about what it is that I’m sensing. And I think for a lot of people, we’re talking about being children –once about a time in a world of adults. And there is that connotation that something’s wrong, that we’re tapping into something that’s too much based upon someone else’s perception. And yet we’re just taking in a lot of information. So, tell me about you in terms of some of your experiences.

[00:06:47.150] – Lily
Yeah. So I was going to give a couple of examples that stick out. But in response to your story, my family would have said, “What smell?” They would not have even been aware that there was something in the air that was offensive to my sensibilities. And I think that’s the big part of it is you are noticing things other people are oblivious too and other people will look at you like you are crazy, you have no idea of what reality is.

[00:07:19.120] – Lily
I just don’t smell because there are four people in this car, and you’re the only one who smells it. That means it doesn’t exist, and you are a problem. You complain too much, or you’re making up stories, or whatever it may be.

[00:07:31.610] – Weston
I’m going to share something I didn’t think I was going to share. But one of the physical characteristics from a child’s perspective, is that there can be the feeling of being startled easily. I’m very sensitive to that. Now, that was very true for me. But I’m going to say something. It’s going to sound really quite grievous, but I want to get through it because I want to share this idea that I have always, and still have a very strong sensitivity, to being spooked.

[00:08:05.020] – Weston
So anyway, I’m in the shower. I’m probably four years old. I mean, I’m very, very young. And my dad thought it would be “funny,” and I put that in quotes, to take not one fire cracker, but basically the whole brick, which is like 16 fire crackers, light it and throw it onto the tile of the bathroom, and it goes pop, pop, pop, pop, pop

[00:08:29.320] – Weston
I’m in the shower, I have no idea what’s happening. It sounds like gunfire to me, right? It’s extremely loud because I’m an enclosed in a shower in a small bathroom. It’s not like it’s a large room to dissipate the noise. And I am in there and I’m just literally in shock, crying…

[00:08:47.950] – Weston
Now, that was how I grew up. And then when I finally was able to speak and to express, about my shock and anger, mostly to my mom –my mom’s presented it would be “fun” for it to be my turn to lite firecrackers when my dad took a shower. So I lit the match while mom through the fire crackers in the bathroom while he was showering. And that’s literally what I was coached to do. And of course, I did do that.

[00:09:15.980] – Weston
But my gosh, the point is, there was just no clue that, number one, I have not just a general sensitivity, but a highly developed sensitivity of physical things, let alone spiritual things. And this was the condition that I was exposed to at a very, very, very early age. And of course, I never thought of that as weird or even funny, because why would I? It was just how I grew up in my house, and I’d never even thought to talk about this but it seemed relevant today. I’m laughing because it’s not funny, but it’s not uncommon that a parent doesn’t even smell the exhaust in the car and looking at you like, “What’s wrong with you?” Then we can have that feeling, or even the stigma, of course, that there is something wrong with us.

[00:10:10.030] – Weston
I’m very interested in unpeeling this subject so we can indeed help others, especially parents and perhaps even teachers, and even brothers and sisters, to engage with Highly Sensitive Children in a different way. I’m super interested from a school system’s perspective. You said you specialize in special needs, which I think gives you a tremendous advantage to have an insight in a lot of ways, especially as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), to see perhaps highly sensitive children in your field, your specialty.

[00:10:49.700] – Weston
I’m wondering if being an HSP is understood, by the staff or the teachers of the school or the parents? If someone doesn’t have an ability to hear, I think that becomes pretty easy to acknowledge, if you will. But is the categorization of someone being highly sensitive, is that something that’s… Do we see that? Do most people know about that?

[00:11:12.450] – Lily

[00:11:17.200] – Weston
I’m sorry, what? How many years did you say you’re doing this?

Because I think, and unfortunately, school systems, when you work with special needs students in particular, but with regular General Education students as well, If we’re looking for what is wrong clinically or what is diagnostically wrong, or what is it that we can use a test to prove or disapprove. Instead of looking at the child and saying, “What is this child experiencing and what are we observing?” And so because there’s no test to prove or disapprove this, there’s no conversation surrounding it.

[00:12:14.350] – Weston
That’s fascinating. I have to say I’m shocked, but maybe not necessarily… I guess I want to be shocked. I’ll say it that way. Intellectually, I would think that there would be some involvement of the academic system.

[00:12:31.790] – Weston
My uncle was special needs, and so I’ve always had a special sensitivity to that. And yet, I wouldn’t have thought that highly sensitive people would be something that wouldn’t be apparent to a school system. It’s unfortunate, and I have to say this, and this is certainly my opinion, and I want to just offer it as such, that the categorization about being highly sensitive from a clinical perspective of something wrong with you, personally, I take great offense to that because there’s nothing wrong with me. I certainly have highly sensitive attributes, but I don’t consider that to be a liability. I guess it could be. What are your views on that?

[00:13:21.350] – Lily
I absolutely agree. A highly sensitive person in various areas has been attempted to be placed on a spectrum that includes OCD and autism.

[00:13:33.620] – Weston
Yeah, I’ve read that, too.

[00:13:35.450] – Lily
And I don’t believe that it belongs on that scale. I also don’t believe there’s anything at all wrong with having OCD as a diagnosis or autism. However, these are very separate circumstances, separate situations. I think someone who is highly sensitive is probably neurologically different. If you looked at their brain, I’m sure it does react differently, as does someone with OCD or someone who has autism. But I think it’s the question of, is that the brain responding to a spiritual situation as brains will do? And I think that a child who is highly sensitive will have different brain pathways, different neurological reactions, because there is a spiritual connection that is happening.

[00:14:39.110] – Weston
That part is outstandingly cool. And of course, for myself personally, From my earliest memories, I’ve always had a spiritual cognizance, if you will. I didn’t know that, not formally, anyway, but without a doubt, that’s something that’s always been. I didn’t recognize that until much later.

[00:15:03.840] – Weston
Lily, let me ask you some questions about what constitutes the characteristics of being a Highly Sensitive Person. You can offer me Yes or No based as I share some throwing quick statement.

Q -Weston
A -Lily

Q. Are you startled easily?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you enjoy big surprises?
A. No.
Q. Do you feel that there is an ability that you have to read someone’s mind?
A. Yes.
Q. Did you use big words when you were a child?
A. Yes.
Q. Are you sensitive to odors?
A. Yes.
Q. And I’ll even give this one to you. You have one of the wickedest, coolest sense of humor as I’ve ever met, which is an attribute of being sensitive, just circling that.
Q. Would you consider yourself intuitive?
A. Yes.
Q. Do you ask lots of questions?
A. Yes.
Q. Would you consider yourself a perfectionist?
A. Yes.
(I won’t touch that one.)
Q. How about sensitivity towards others who are in distress?
A. Very much so. Yes.
Q. And what about asking deep thought-provoking questions?
A. Yes.
Q. Would you consider yourself very sensitive to pain?
A. Yes.
Q. And what about safety issues?Meaning, do you find yourself having a heightened awareness with regards to dangers or what could be or what if danger is around you?
A. I will answer this. Yes, however, I don’t see them as dangerous because I’ve chosen them not to be.

[00:16:41.080] – Weston
Okay, cool. And lastly, and by the way, this list is something that I put together with some external help (Credit to author Elaine N. Aron).

[00:16:49.040] – Weston
But do you feel things deeply. How would you consider yourself in that department?

[00:16:54.080] – Lily
Absolutely.

[00:16:54.660] – Weston
So these characteristics are interesting. And by the way, you I didn’t miss one! And I didn’t go through all of them, but certainly the great majority. So that people can understand from a physical perspective what it means to be highly sensitive. Now, let’s steer that a little bit differently.

[00:17:21.240] – Lily

[00:17:50.490] – Weston
God, I want to cry about what you just said, because, and I don’t mean that generally, I mean that literally, because when I watch someone perform music, it can be a child, it can be somebody in eighth grade, it can be somebody in a church or a community, a coffeehouse, some of the thing, and there’s times

[00:18:12.310] – Lily
It doesn’t matter the quality of the music…

[00:18:12.580] – Weston
(Laughing) that’s what I’m saying… And yet I can feel a spiritual note, if you will, a resonance that’s coming from this presence that makes me want to cry. When I say makes me, it doesn’t force me, but it invokes that feeling within me.

[00:18:36.810] – Weston
And again, I grew up in the household that I did. Males weren’t necessarily encouraged to share that emotion. That was considered a feminine emotion for whatever strange reason. But nonetheless, I find myself tearful, but not sad, but very joyful in honor and recognition of this spiritual connection. I can see it, feel it, know it…

[00:18:55.910] – Weston
And I look around and even women, which I would thought, certainly as a child, would have this sensitivity are missing it. Not everybody, of course, but it just highly touched based upon someone’s looking at me wondering, “Well, why are you crying?”

[00:19:13.320] – Weston
What you said perfectly is the stimulant didn’t necessarily match this guy’s expression. And yet, in my mind, they don’t see what’s between the lines. I mean, they’re not able to have that depth of understanding, so to speak.

[00:19:26.180] – Lily
I cry at artistic expression so frequently that I’m no longer surprised or even embarrassed. I look around the room with tears in my eyes, screaming down my face. I’ll look at people who are blank-faced and bored, and I’ll be like, You just have to either accept or not accept my experience because it’s going to happen. And I have the flip side of that is, one of the stories I thought about when you asked me what my experiences were as a highly sensitive child.

I remember my family used to take us to concert at a university that was near where we grew up. And there was one concert that we went to that the music was mostly drums. It was so difficult for me because the music, I enjoyed it, but it made me physically ill because the vibrations were so strong. I was like, “Mom, I’m going to throw up.” I’ve got to get out of here. And they were so upset with me for feeling that, and no one else, nobody else in the audience is feeling that way. But my emotions were very much involved and very much appreciative of the music, and the people who are creating the music, and the message of the music, and the way the world was expressed in this music.

[00:20:56.710] – Lily
But I just had to get out of there. And I I think that’s another part of a highly sensitive person.

[00:21:02.230] – Weston
Oh, for sure. I can totally relate that, especially in… I always loved to dance, and so sometimes the music is quite loud. I remember feeling physically like my body was somehow being attacked by the sound. I wanted to listen to the music, right? And I wanted to dance, but the sound was so… like X-rays, I guess. It was penetrating all the way down into my core.

[00:21:30.290] – Weston
It was like, this is not comfortable. In fact, I want to get away from the very thing that I said that I wanted to do. And that was uncomfortable. Why can’t I be in the midst of where I want to be? But somehow I’m feeling like I shouldn’t. And it’s not toxic or something like that. I’d rather just felt really, really uncomfortable, not quite the right word. It felt like I had to leave. Yes.

[00:21:53.770] – Lily
It feels like an emergency. Like your body is going, “You’re going through an emergency and you must escape.”

[00:22:02.310] – Weston
Yes. It’s interesting because this brings up another thing for me as well. Warren Beatty, the aging actor was in a movie called Bonnie and Clyde. And during the ending or concluding scene of the movie, these bank robbers, who were partners, were being shot very, very dramatically on the movie screen. I’m 11. I thought I was going to throw up.

[00:22:29.420] – Weston
I begged for my dad to take me out to the lobby, which he did, but I got scolded. I got scolded for leaving because we missed the best part of the movie. I was like, “Dad, you’re asking me to watch not just the casual death of a couple of people, but something that’s really, really tough.” Again, maybe other people could handle that, and we could debate whether I was old enough to watch that the age of 11 or not. But the point was, I was exposed to that, and that was my feeling, and then it was, note to self. I put myself in a literal physical position, unconsciously, and actually this is something that’s still true today…I will tend to sit at the outer sides of the seats. So if I need to leave, I can do so.

[00:23:12.340] – Weston
I can just pick up and head to the lobby and take myself out and say, “Okay, I’ll come back after that scene, or take myself completely out of the theater because I’m not comfortable.” And it’s not because I’m trying to avoid something. It’s just that I don’t need to see or feel that degree of impact, if we can call it that. So interesting. Right?

[00:23:34.650] – Lily
So, I have a student in my class who is deaf and who is showing all the signs of being a highly sensitive child. And there was a performance given to our class of very young children, by a visiting high school class, and it was a dance performance. And I’m watching these high school students dance and I’m crying, and I look over at this student, and she is crying with just passion and like, what an amazing expression, not crying in a negative way.

[00:24:08.300] – Lily
I look over at this girl, and she is having the time of her life. She’s lit up full of joy. She’s punching the air. She’s so in thrall that the audience is watching her as she’s enjoying the actual performance performance because she’s so full of excitement and joy for these dancers and the things that they are expressing. And the dancers stayed, after their little field trip to our school, to interact with her.

[00:24:44.620] – Weston
Oh, Wow.

[00:24:45.710] – Lily
Because she had given them so much love just through her enjoyment of what they were sharing. And it was such a beautiful expression of, yes, she’s a highly sensitive child, and there is so much good. So much benefit with that label, that it’s not struggle and anxiety and depression that people seem to associate it with it, but it’s an extreme ability to experience emotion.

[00:25:17.830] – Lily
And she experienced joy and freedom, and she’s in constant motion. She’s always moving. And I think that’s another part that we haven’t talked about yet, is the physical responses in that way. But that was a very clear picture for me of the immense happiness that comes with this highly sensitive situation.

[00:25:42.110] – Weston
Yeah, it’s interesting because back into the watching of music, and again, I remember sitting in church and hearing somebody sing, and it wasn’t a professional singer, but it was just somebody who had a voice. I actually felt, that it was for me, and I’m not trying to be judgmental of the place I was sitting, but I felt more connected with that song through that voice or that person than the rest of the service. And I felt that way for years, not just once. And so that was really quite a thing.

[00:26:12.110] – Weston
And I kept wondering why. Why I was connected to this piece, of special music?, if you will, versus what could be described as the main message. And I wasn’t trying to do that, but I just had a feeling that there was something more in truth, if you will, about the singing.

[00:26:33.760] – Weston
And that’s a very strong characteristic of being a Highly Sensitive Person.

[00:26:56.990] – Weston
I’m not talking about just truth from a personal perspective, but rather truth-truth. And that’s something for myself comes very easy because of the sensitivity. So, I did some channeling on being highly sensitive. And of course, one of the attributes of being highly sensitive enables you to have a depth of understanding through the sensitivity. And of course, in channeling from Source, which is the very thing I want to share with everybody here. Including people who have children who are exceedingly sensitive, that the need to for them to have to conform to be like mom and dad, or like the rest of the family, is really unfortunate.

[00:27:41.360] – Weston
Because if we flip this thought of conformity around to asking ourselves permission to say, “Hey, what does this child need?” Or, “What are they tuning into, if you will?” “What is it that they are sensitive too?” Then, we as a family, can make an adaptation? Of course, lots of times that’s why these children spiritually come, to offer, shall we say, this understanding to something much than what the common eye sees. I’m going to go back and share something that you were talking about, where there is an inability to see something that other people don’t see.

[00:28:10.440] – Weston
I remember walking in an art gallery, and I was walking to the gallery, and I happened to stand with my arms crossed looking at this particular piece. It was actually Sedona. I stood across this piece, and I leaned in a little bit. And the owner of the art gallery made a comment to me, and she said, “Are you an artist?”

[00:28:30.640] – Weston
I pulled back, and not often do I get caught, if you will. I’ll use the phrase, being seen. And I stepped back and I had a little bit of a Cheshire grin, and I said, “Well, why do you ask that question?” She continued, “Because of the way you look at the painting.” And I said, Well, I’m sure other people look at the painting like this. I’m trying to keep my camouflage on, if you will. And she said, “No, no, no. You’re looking at the painting like someone who’s an artist.” And of course, at that point, I said, “Well, actually, I am artistic, but I don’t necessarily think of myself as an artist,” but clearly I am. I didn’t come into the art gallery with a T-shirt on that said, “Hey, I’m an art student, or am I a master of art in terms of painting or drawing or whatever?”

[00:29:11.830] – Weston
I didn’t do that. But just my observation of this particular painting was something this person saw. Now, in being sensitive, there are things that we observe that other people don’t observe.

[00:29:24.780] – Weston
I remember as well, someone walked into the office, they had a mustache their entire time when I was working at this company. He came in one day and was standing at the front of the offices, and this persons walked in, he was there for three seconds, and I knew exactly what was out-of-place. But the four other people standing around me said, “Something’s different about you today” I’m looking to the group of them like, “Are they all drunk?” I mean, “Are you all not aware?”

[00:29:44.720] – Weston
I didn’t say anything. I thought, I’ll just let this ride out because I thought they’re janking my chain a little bit. And these individuals continued on, “I can’t tell what it is? Is it his dress? Did he cut his hair?” After three minutes of this, it’s like, Come on, guys, “He shaved his mustache.”

[00:29:58.970] – Weston
Who could miss that? And everyone was like, Oh, yeah. I mean, it’s like, Are you kidding? And that, to me, is like, that’s not being sensitive. That’s like a brick to the head.

[00:30:12.140] – Weston
I mean, that was really, really easy to see. And so when we’re talking about the details in between, whether it’s art, mustaches, of course, to me, something very easy to observe. But when you talk about the spiritual pieces of being able to see things that, as you described earlier, Lily, the unification of how things literally come together, the highly sensitive child offers that kind of connection if we, as it would be parent or person of authority, that includes a teacher, takes the time, we’ll call it quietness, to step back and watch them observe and do what the proprietor of that art store did with me, in that art gallery. She said, “What are you seeing?” If we do this, then we’re really going to have a wonderful dialog, an opportunity to have access to something that perhaps we never would have appreciated or even noticed before.

[00:31:09.210] – Lily
Yeah, absolutely.

[00:31:11.070] – Weston
From a teaching perspective, I’d love to hear more of your thoughts about dealing with or bumping into those who are highly sensitive, and again, how the parents might interact in more positive way.

[00:31:24.810] – Lily
Yeah. I was starting to share an answer to that. This deaf girl that I was referring you earlier, she oftentimes intentionally makes mistakes, looks at you for your reaction, and then signs, Oops, and tells you the right answer. And I found that to be so brilliant because what she’s really doing is she’s saying, I’m going to work on my perfectionism. I’m going to make a mistake. I’m going to then observe you not getting upset because I was wrong, practice not getting upset myself. Then saying, “Yeah, I know I was wrong. And here’s the correct answer.” And so she’s teaching herself these skills while all I’m doing is sitting there and allowing that to happen.

[00:32:20.650] – Lily
And in a circumstance where that could easily go wrong, easily someone could think, why is she lying? Why is she manipulating? What is this girl doing? I understand enough to just hold that space for her to be wrong every time she wants to be wrong, to have that wrongness be accepted accepted and to have that rightness be equally accepted because it doesn’t matter if she’s right or wrong. To answer the question doesn’t matter. What does matter is that she’s learning how to not have this negative trait that is associated with being highly sensitive.

[00:33:04.470] – Lily
She’s learning it’s okay to be wrong.

And that is so profound. I think in that, if you have a child who’s highly sensitive and has those perfectionist tendencies, be making constant mistakes and be constantly fine with things going wrong.

[00:33:41.710] – Lily
This same student will get very upset when she spills something, which is common for young people, that she gets very upset. And so she spilled something recently, and she started immediately crying. She was very, very upset. So I walked up to and I picked up something and I spilled it, and I watched it spill, and I just stood there watching it and observing the spill. And she watched me do that and calmed down because there was nothing wrong with it. But neurologically, my goodness, it’s chaotic. To have something that should be one thing, toppled over and it become something else.

[00:34:29.900] – Lily
It’s, I think, similar to why lots of people are afraid of clowns, which this is just my theory. There’s no proof of it. But here’s what I think. Clowns look like normal people enough that when they’re doing something that’s surprising or scary, as you’ve referenced before, it becomes terrifying.

[00:34:51.470] – Lily
So it’s the thing that looks normal, but then sneakily it’s incorrect in some way. The surprise and the sudden experience that something that was expected in a blink of an eye becomes unexpected and there’s no time to plan for it. So understanding that that is a fear-based thing for all people, but especially for highly sensitive people, to give examples of daily surprises that might happen and just practice those things, be calm about them.

[00:35:34.660] – Weston
You had mentioned in a previous discussion that sometimes counterintuitive thoughts can be helpful instead of trying to calm somebody down because… Go back to me being in the car with my dad, stuck in traffic with the diesel truck, that I should be calmed down.

[00:35:52.040] – Weston
What do you mean by being counterintuitive instead of trying to calm somebody down in a given situation? Is that what you meant by pouring the water on the table in your earlier example? Or did you mean something more than that?

[00:36:03.410] – Lily
Yes, I meant that in many things. But yes, I think that people’s tendencies are to want someone who is upset to feel better.

[00:36:13.740] – Weston
Right, sure.

[00:36:14.930] – Lily
And so people come in and try to say, Oh, don’t be upset. But why? Why not be upset? It’s okay to feel upset. And as soon as that permission is given, you allow someone to no longer have to feel upset. So it’s acknowledging a feeling and saying, giving some language to it or just giving nonverbal acceptance to it allows it to run its course.

Then you’ve just added more stress on top of that. Wait a minute. I’m feeling a certain way, and now I’m not supposed to feel that way? Oh, no. Now I’ve made a mistake on top of feeling bad. If that person is feeling upset. Don’t try to change that feeling. Don’t correct something that is not incorrect. If they’re afraid, that’s okay. If they’re sad, that’s fine. And sometimes giving them more of the experience that caused them to be afraid is what is helpful.

[00:37:26.730] – Weston
As a parent, I would absolutely create the opportunity to spill water or do something, maybe even tear up some paper and throw it as an exercise that could be described, as an out-of-bounds, so that they can get that energy out and realize that they’re not doing something bad. I just want to highlight that because that’s something that I thought that you shared was really insightful and quite helpful.

[00:37:55.850] – Lily
I think it can help you to have various materials available for a child so that if they’re feeling some way they’re dis regulated and you don’t know how to help them, they know that they can go to their corner, take some paper, and start tearing it up, if that’s what helps. Or if they want something quiet then there’s a quiet item. If they want something that’s loud, there’s a loud item. Creating a space where they can use whatever materials are there in the way that needs to be used, instead of just assuming they need to just go and sit and be quiet and calm themselves with various tactics.

[00:38:32.440] – Weston
In honor of that, really, really respectfully honoring this with our son we would do this. We would get basically faux fur so that he could touch, because he’s very tactile, something while he was learning. And so be seen as “odd” in a conventional classroom. But as his parents, we noticed and became aware through sensitivity, that he needed to touch something. And he was trying to touch the world. I’m not necessarily just touch this furry blanket or this fake rabbit’s fur.

[00:39:08.470] – Weston

And we were encouraging him. And we had the wherewith all to extend that as an invitation for him to do and didn’t think it was weird at all. And sometimes it can be done through sound. As an example, I personally wouldn’t do well in listening to something that would compete for my attention. That would be a problem. But for other people, that may be something that’s truly a compliment to them. So tuning into something like music might really help them study. And yet, I would speculate that most teachers might say, “No listening to music in class.”

[00:39:45.850] – Weston
For the student, that’s going to help. What would we want to take the music away? What would be, again, an augmentation to their growth and to their development?

[00:39:55.790] – Lily
Yeah. Taking away some stimuli is kind of what we tend to do. Make it quieter, make the light less bright. But instead, give an array of options. And if you are wrong, that the light should be brighter instead of dimmer, that’s okay. If you’ve made a bunch of mistakes trying to figure out what will help.

[00:40:35.750] – Weston
That takes us into the category of someone being heard. Taking the time; as parents, teachers, or brothers or sisters, whomever, to really appreciate something that the other party may not have naturally. I think that’s really important. So, if you’re noticing that someone has a sensitivity and you yourself may not, “get it,” taking a moment to truly be compassionate, and I’m not talking about fake sincerity. This is like reaching out to say, “What is it that you’re seeing?, What you observing? This connection is everything.

[00:41:14.520] – Lily
Yeah. My experience is that, personally, I had a lot of empathy for other people because I realized they did not know the things that I knew. And I remember one time I was in a doctor’s office, and there was a man sitting on the couch across waiting for, I don’t know who, maybe his child? I hope not for the sake of that child. But he was hidden behind a newspaper, and all we saw of him was this newspaper and his legs. And I turned to my mom and I said, “That man doesn’t like kids.”

[00:41:49.480] – Lily
I said it really loud. Everyone heard it. The receptionist heard it. The whole waiting room heard it, and the man slightly wriggled his newspaper. And he had heard it as well. And my mom was like, “Be quiet, be quiet.” And I was like, no, he really doesn’t. He doesn’t like kids at all. And I made a big deal of it. It was just true. He didn’t. And I knew it, and I don’t know how I knew it. And how true that was isn’t really the point. The point is that I had a lot of empathy for him.

[00:42:25.070] – Lily
I was actually feeling sorry for this guy who had to be stuck in this pediatrician’s office not liking children. And I was trying to point that out because I was like, You know, poor guy, he’s in the least happy place for him. But my point to that is I was very young, and I, “should not have known that.” There was no way for me to know that. But I did.

[00:42:50.300] – Lily
And so these very young children really care that you care. That is the most important thing. So if you have done something that was the opposite of helpful, but you say to them, I’m trying, in words or language or action, this is the absolute most important part of this equation, to have someone there who’s just trying to figure out along with you what works.

[00:43:23.230] – Lily
You can be very direct with very young children using some very high-level language and say, “You’re different. And I see that.” Ask them very directly, observe very honestly, and have conversations that are in some places seen as taboo.

[00:43:57.380] – Lily
I’ve noticed that, whatever it is, that you cry more than most people, or you really like music more than most people, or you seem to feel in your body uncomfortable when this specific thing happens, or you jump a lot. Why do you think you jump a lot? Ask them questions, help them observe themselves, and listen to their answers because they will be really, really helpful.

[00:44:26.690] – Weston
And really helpful to this interaction, but also this helps them help themselves. There’s a correlation, in my observation from a spiritual perspective, that the becoming quiet, become quieted, become calm, etc. Often it leads us in the idea that we shouldn’t express as a highly sensitive person, that we can go introverted, especially if you have that personality type.

[00:44:49.290] – Weston
My observation from a spiritual perspective outside of one’s personality type is that expressing is key for a highly sensitive person. And so what you’re doing is you’re giving that individual, that child, an opportunity to express. And then ultimately, that expression is something to be understood and appreciated if someone’s really interested in that. And that’s something so important as a part of the dialog. Not healing because there’s nothing wrong with a highly sensitive person. I mean, again, that being a highly sensitive person is a gift. It’s not a liability in any way. I want to share this because this is important.

[00:45:25.640] – Weston

[00:45:34.010] – Lily
No. I did not, and to a degree, do not understand danger. If that What’s the question that you’re asking?

[00:45:46.700] – Weston
Yeah, kind of… There’s a correlation that I observe that a lot of people that are highly sensitive, that are children, grow into adults and maybe do or don’t know, they will be likened to create an alliance with someone who’s going to protect them. So, let’s make you for the moment non-highly sensitive person, and we become very close friends, of which we are. But let’s say I’m using you to protect me.

[00:46:13.520] – Weston
In essence, I’m going to use you because you’re going to tell everyone what’s what. I’m not going to do that. I’m going to remain quiet and intuitively connected. But I’m going to use you or lean on you, if you will, to make sure that you’re going to protect me in the room or make sure that the lights go down.

[00:46:29.290] – Weston
I want that to be put on our dialog of discussion because I think it’s important that it isn’t something that needs to be done. I’m speaking to teachers and parents. No, it’s merely this connection again, having this understanding, that

[00:46:47.290] – Weston
If someone’s holding their ears, I’m thinking of myself for the moment, because in my household, I cannot stand the blender. Well, every morning that blender goes off, or if it’s not that, then someone’s potentially grinding coffee. And that noise is even worse than the blender. I’m not exaggerating, I am found in the other room holding my ears.

[00:47:06.490] – Weston
Now, that’s my physical sensitivity. And, I don’t need to be protected from that. The only thing I’m looking to do is have someone be courteous enough to say, Hey, we’re about to blend in so I can get out of the space. And I’ll take care of myself.

And if something is too much, whatever that stimulus might be, that that is something that we can hear, feel, and appreciate. And if they need to be relocated so that they can be more comfortable, I think that’s reasonable. But that’s not necessarily the same thing as, “Oh, they think we shouldn’t be talking so loud because we’re going to be disrupting someone who’s highly sensitive.”

[00:47:48.050] – Weston
That creates a whole different scenario in that we all can’t all be ourselves, and we don’t want to have that in the end. Hopefully, I didn’t destroy what you were trying to share…

[00:47:59.290] – Lily
But I absolutely understand what you’re saying, but my answer is still absolutely not. I’m more emphatically saying, no, I did not want to be protected. That’s insulting. So you know how sometimes you spoke of coming from an alcoholic family?

[00:48:14.700] – Lily
Sometimes When you have an alcoholic parent and two children, one child becomes an alcoholic and the other child never drinks a drop. And I think this is one of those situations where someone who’s a highly sensitive person might, like myself, become highly offended if someone tries to protect me from something, while if I had a sibling who was also highly sensitive, they might be cowering, waiting for a protector.

[00:48:40.830] – Lily
I think it’s one of those things where there is a very clear division and a very strong reaction. I grew up very much alone, even though I had a family. I was very much alone and did not have a protector in any sense of the word I had, predator. But I think maybe because I was never taught to seek out a protector,

[00:49:09.020] – Lily
I did became the protector of others. And I think that’s the teetotaler part of my example, where if I saw someone who was in distress, I protected that person, even if I didn’t know them, even if I’d never met them before, even if the reason I sensed that they needed protection was completely a spiritual reason.

[00:49:36.130] – Lily
It’s an invisible thing. No one even sees it, but I do. I became the protector.

[00:49:42.460] – Weston
Oh, yes. I remember going to Europe during the summer as high school student, and I was out drinking and dancing with a bunch of people who were also on tour, with me… Because we could drink in Europe. A lot of people were over the edge in terms of what was their consumption level. Like I said, I drink, but not necessarily like that. I mean, not to say I haven’t, but I don’t find myself attracted to that for what I would call obvious reasons.

[00:50:08.480] – Weston
And I was with a bunch of people from our group, and I think it was a couple of guys and about four girls, and these girls were about to be carried off by a group groping local males basically trying to take advantage of these girls. And I could see this situation brewing from a hundred miles away. Now, it wasn’t because I was more sober than everybody else. It was just like, Are you kidding me? These girls weren’t my sisters. They weren’t even necessarily friends… But there was no way in heck that these girls were going to be taken away.

[00:50:49.120] – Weston
I got very involved, and it enabled us to get home safely. Again, these people may or may not, to this moment, have an understanding of what took place, and I don’t really care to be acknowledged for that. But from a spiritual perspective, when allowed and when appropriate, I do that a lot. Not to try and circumvent somebody’s would be physical experience, but rather to evoke awareness so that they can realize, “Hey, you’re off in the weeds here, and you may want to get out of that because that could be somewhat uncomfortable for you.” I could use the word dangerous, but I’m going to change the term to uncomfortable or something out of balance for what you’ve actually come to experience.

[00:51:30.770] – Weston
And yes, some people need and want to do that. And when you see that, when you observe that, it’s like, Okay, I’m actually going to be interfering to get in that person’s way to get them out of harm’s way, so to speak. So it becomes a balance of being able to read the room empathetically, and how you can make your contribution. And I think it’s interesting, Lily, from the get-go, that you really didn’t have a need to protect.

[00:51:59.500] – Weston
I didn’t have much protection growing up. I definitely have that for other people where there’s a part of me that wants to evoke that sensitivity on behalf of somebody else, especially if I can see five moves out or ten moves out. Again, not to try and interfere, but rather just to say that baby doesn’t belong there.

[00:52:18.420] – Weston
I mean, if you look six moves out, and you can see that that’s a problem. I’m not trying to be the enforcer of all things safe, although it can be seen like that at times. I’m just trying to say, “Hey, that doesn’t make me logically.” Everyone else doesn’t see the five moves out. They’re looking at me seeing my actions or thoughts as illogical. “Why did you move the baby from this place to this place?”

[00:52:38.530] – Weston
I said, well, because I outlined it for her. I was like, how? That’s not going to happen. And then, of course, when it does. It’s like, I look like some kind of genius, and it’s not that. It’s just that I’m super aware through my super sensitivity. There’s just this sensitivity to that.

[00:52:50.640] – Lily
And you don’t always know why or how to explain it.

[00:52:53.080] – Weston
Yes. Thank you for that. That part’s really tricky because why, Weston, are you making this move? And it’s like, it took me half an hour to explain it to the common person.

[00:53:06.150] – Weston
You Lily, who are a Highly Sensitive Person- you totally get it, and others who are joining us in this space of sensitivity, they will get it as well. But it’s pretty cool.

[00:53:13.940] – Lily
I have to say to people, Please just trust me. I know what I’m saying. I can’t explain it. I could, but I really don’t want to. Please just trust me. And just step to the left a little bit. Just do it. What does it hurt?

[00:53:33.300] – Lily

And I think it’s an important thing to bring in really quickly, the topic of imagination. Because here’s an example of how this works when I was really little, is that there was a girl in my preschool, I was in a preschool classroom who missed her mom and would stand at the window and cry whenever her mom And I told her that I had a magic machine that would make her stop missing her mom.

[00:54:08.200] – Lily
She was interested in what I was sharing. So I made up essentially a course that she could climb over things and go around other obstacles. And I just made an obstacle course for her, essentially. And at the end, magically…She wouldn’t even be missing her mom anymore. And it worked. But it’s because I had brought her through just a supportive experience, and we had used our imagination to create this machine that was magical.

[00:54:39.720] – Lily
And she was not my friend. I didn’t know her before. I don’t think I talked to her ever again, actually. But to be able to recognize that, to create some way in which small little three and four-year-olds, theoretically disempowered people, can create power for themselves is very important as well, using imagination and empathy.

[00:55:03.840] – Weston
I think that is something we should underscore three times because the power… And by the way, let’s come back a moment. What age were you when you did that?

[00:55:13.400] – Lily
I was either three or four. Yeah.

[00:55:16.040] – Weston
I want everyone else to hear that. Of course, I think everyone did, but I think it’s important to sense it very early because you’re not necessarily being the teacher of that class necessarily having that thought, How can we make this person feel better? But somehow you already know that, and of course, this is part of your early gift set that you’re still applying today,

[00:55:34.440] – Weston
Lily, in a very, very beautiful way. Lily, in terms of our time, what would you share in terms of from your perspective? What would be a summary of what we talked about in terms of takeaways.

[00:55:49.080] – Lily

This person came to you to broaden everyone’s experience and to make it so much more than what it was had they not come.

[00:56:10.920] – Lily

and that you’re going to accept from them the gift that they are offering, not just that you’re going help them, but that you acknowledge that they are here for you and that you will accept the lessons they have to teach you, that age is insignificant to them, that this is a sharing between you humans who are part of a greater whole, and they just want to share that experience with you.

[00:56:50.020] – Weston
That is very beautifully put. I would just add to that maybe a couple of things we talked about today in terms of being aware what being highly sensitive looks like, because a lot of times when someone isn’t or aren’t aware of that they have a highly sensitive child in the household, there are characteristics that you can observe quite easily, and those are physical, but they go beyond that.

[00:57:12.460] – Weston

I think this is one of the most beautiful things that you could ever do with your child, to just give their space and allow them to do things, again, in a way that may or may not be done how you It’s hard to it.

[00:57:30.350] – Weston

[00:57:42.100] – Weston
When these things are developed, meaning when someone’s highly sensitive and they use that as a tool, the gift that Lily was speaking of. And it opens up doors to more sensitivity.

[00:57:52.640] – Weston

Think of someone who has a musical ear. When that’s further developed, the sensitivity goes down to the tiniest fractions of being into and out of tune. And that happens in all aspects of observation. Again, physical, certainly from a spiritual perspective.

[00:58:15.950] – Weston
There’s really something to be shared in nurturing the highly sensitive because they bring to life things that, again that are quite unifying, that we sometimes don’t see or other people don’t see in terms of how things literally connect.

[00:58:32.560] – Weston
A highly sensitive person tends to see that with such ease that they don’t understand how someone has it separated or categorized, which is done, of course, through the mind or the intellect.

[00:58:42.710] – Weston
Taking the time, the energy to really embrace your child in this way is, I think, something incredible. Certainly, if we’re speaking to you as an adult, having been a highly sensitive child and not having been understood or properly expressed, then please be relieved that there’s anything wrong with you as much as you want to maybe further develop these skill sets.

[00:59:03.730] – Weston
By the way, there’s a quiz called, To What Degree Are You a Highly Sensitive Person that anyone can take.

[00:59:16.370] – Weston
Today, Lily, I just want to thank you very much for being with us again, and very grateful always for the opportunity, and certainly for our audience for joining us today.

[00:59:24.840] – Lily
Thank you. I had a ton of fun, and I always do when I talk with you. For us to make true connections, we have to engage.

Thank you for joining us for this podcast

Hi, I’m Weston Jolly. Thank you for joining me for 10 reasons why you can’t ask for what you want. I think it’s interesting that we, all of us, have been conditioned not to ask. This is why we can’t ask for what we want, it’s because, well, there has been somebody or places or even you within yourself where you have become comfortable, to not ask questions or for what you want.

1:19 – Weston
Perhaps this started way back in grade school, where you were just asking for something simple –like raising your hand in class and asking, “I could use some help.” This is a very simple ask. Yet, sometimes we feel the teacher who rolls his or her eyes in their disapproval. Like it’s somehow a big deal that you’re asking a question in a classroom. Not asking is actually the number one reason why people can’t manifest what they want.

So today, we’re going to go through 10 places where you’ve created a block or even resistance to asking. And when we do this, we just want to be really clear that if any one of these things, these reasons why you can’t ask for what you want, if they come to the surface and you can feel something within your solar plexus or your stomach, I just want you to be aware of that.

2:10 – Weston
At the end, we’re going to do something really cool because I want you to remember, or learn, how the Universe actually works when we put forth and ask –and of course, the importance of asking. The reasons that we’re going through, 10 reasons why you can’t ask for what you want, is because we want to have awareness and clarity in asking.

Imagine running track and field where you have these obstacles called a hurdles. And of course, I’ve never jumped hurdles. But if I were to run a race and I had to jump a bunch of hurdles there’s a lot of energy in having to do that. So, we want to see each one of these reasons as a 10 reasons why we don’t ask as potential hurdle. Hopefully, none of these reasons are applicable, but if any are, then I’m going to give you a few suggestions at the end of this podcast, in how we can get back to connecting in your asking, and of course, the importance of your asking.

So I’m going to use this example. If we went into a restaurant and we sit down, we look at a menu, and we’re determining what it is that we want, and let’s say we have a preference that isn’t on the menu.

3:19 – Weston
That could be questions like ; Does the restaurant use mayonnaise?, or do they use real crab versus imitation crab? So, if we’re going to ask the waiter a question. We don’t need to feel funny about asking, right?

But a lot of times even at a restaurant, people will have a discomfort in asking about anything that’s outside of what’s actually printed on the menu. That’s funny because in most restaurants, almost always, they’ll come up to you and they’ll even tell you about specials of the day, meaning they’re announcing those things that they want you to become aware of in trying to solicit these times that aren’t on the menu.

It’s equally beautiful for you, too, to actually ask questions as well, right?

But sometimes people really get shut down. And this is the reason we want to go through these hurdles so that you can become aware of any places you have resonance with 10 reasons why you can’t ask for what you want. In becoming aware, you can address those places of resistance so you can overcome any fears in your asking. We are doing to discuss how to ask in a Universally connected way, the end of this podcast, like I promised that we would.

That seems funny, but it’s not. Because if someone has an ability to put forth a desire in an ask, that would be initially with and then this ask is verbalized to somebody else. That could be as simple as just asking for the salt and pepper at dinner, right? But if there is an inability that we don’t know what we want to ask for, or that we’re shutting that down, then we really want to become clear as to why.

Why is it that you don’t know what to ask for?
Is that because you’re afraid of having something to ask for? Let’s give that some consideration. If it is, I want you to just become aware of that as we can continue to go through our list.

5:33 – Weston
I can remember, I’m sure you can too, when I was a child in a grocery store, and asking mom that we can have this toy or to purchase the cereal with the toy in inside.

And of course, the answer is “no.” If we hear “no” often enough, then we can prevent ourselves from asking. In essence, we start to shut our desire to ask off. People in the profession of sales –it’s always suggested to ask for the order. Having taught sales people, you would be amazed, maybe even shocked, where you’ll find someone talking about the product, they will answer your questions, but they don’t ask for the order.

Why? Why wouldn’t somebody in sales not ask for the order?
It’s because of the possibility of being rejected with the word “No.” Somewhere down the line, someone might have told you “no.” When we interpret that “no” as a personal “no”, like “no you can’t have it”, or “no”, you don’t deserve it, or “no” you’re bothering me by putting forth this ask then soliciting becomes impossible because you will hear “no.” Therefore, you might never want to get rejected. But if you are, then, of course, that’s going to be a very prominent reason.

7:01 – Weston
If I don’t think that I’m worthy of asking, but you are, then you find people can ask, but I can’t because I don’t value myself. This is really huge. In fact, there’s going to be topics and topics that talk about this where people choose not to value themselves. And a result of that, they can’t ask thus they don’t create.

And because of this, people are extended whatever life gives to them, right? And that is frustrating where they suddenly don’t feel like they can ask for what they want because there’s an intrinsic idea that maybe I’m not good enough or I shouldn’t be asking. Or maybe there’s a part of you that feels like you’re now as important as someone else.

Let’s go back to the academic classroom where someone’s a doctor in psychology, perhaps I don’t feel worthy to be in the presence of this particular person. Maybe he’s an international bestselling author. If I don’t value myself then I’m not going to ask him for anything. That could be as simple asking him to references for my resume. Perhaps, I was his teacher’s assistant, and yet if I don’t value myself, and therefor, I’m not going to be able to put forth that ask.

8:19 – Weston

Well, that’s a big, big reason. And sometimes people put forth an ask, and yet behind that ask, they have this feeling that says, You can’t have that. And that can tie into the worthiness piece, right? You’re not worthy to have that. I wrote about this in a blog called Shattered Dreams where I chose to put forth an ask for a car that I wanted to manifest.

When I did manifest the car, I had it for maybe 30 minutes, and a tree limb –out of the blue with no wind blowing– came down and shattered the front windshield of my new purchase. And it made me feel like I couldn’t have my new car. I was wondering if the Universe was maybe punishing me for this manifestation.

This is, of course, the very opposite of what the Universe offers us. If you don’t believe you can have the thing that you want –as I was sharing with this incident in my manifesting this particular car– and yet I was holding on to this belief that maybe I shouldn’t or couldn’t have the very thing that I had already manifested.

This happens a lot where someone may ask, for example, to win the lottery. Not that that I am suggesting you playing the lottery, but if someone does win it and they don’t believe that they can actually have the wealth that they’ve won then the money disappears.

Almost all the people that manifest in of the lottery with beliefs that are out-of-balance or “off.” If I can use that term, it’s out of balance with their choice to actually receive what they’re asking for. A lot of people who do win the lottery, as I’m sure you’re aware, lose it. Now, that can be a lot of money. It could be just a couple of grand to quite literally millions and millions of dollars. And yet all of that gets to be expended rather quickly because they don’t believe that they can actually have what they want.

So, this is hugely important.

Now, this can come from having asked for something and someone promised that they were going to give it to you, and they didn’t.

10:57 – Weston
This story that I’m about to share is indeed a true one, and yet it’s something that’s quite significant. In this particular case, at Christmas, a child was wanting a particular Christmas present. I can’t remember what the item was, but it wasn’t a big ticket item. (I don’t think it was as large as a bicycle.) And yet from this child’s perspective there was parental encouragement of the possibly getting this present at Christmas. On Christmas day, the child unwrapped the present, the cardboard box underneath the wrapping paper was indicative of the very thing that the child wanted!

There was huge excitement that the child was about to get the exact thing they had asked for. Continued with excitement this child suddenly realized their new present was NOT what they had been asking for. Mom or Dad or Santa, if you will, used a printed with the item the child wanted but repurposed the box with another present in it…

In essence, this Mom and Dad want to teach their child, “you don’t always get what you ask for.” Naturally, this was an unfathomable disappointment that this child, who had asked innocently had been something else to make this point.

12:11 – Weston
Because of this event, this child could develop this thought that they don’t trust, right? And that by extension, that they don’t trust God, or they don’t trust the Universe, or they don’t trust anyone to actually have the very thing that they want. That’s a biggie.

This next item that I want to talk about as a reason why you can’t ask for what you want, you may think that it has to do with only those people who are shy, but it has nothing to do with that. But in this categorization, the reason you don’t ask is because that you don’t want to bother or upset somebody. This means you have an idea that your ask is going to be upsetting, again the teacher or bothering the other students in the classroom, then you’re going to give yourself permission not to participate.

In this particular example, I remember being in college and in Psych 101. In this particular class, the teacher was talking about introducing us to Elizabeth Kuebler-Ross’s Five Common Stages of Grief.

13:29 – Weston
I’d never been introduced to that concept before. And so I was listening and taking notes. And the teacher went through the stages of denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. We had a big class. So I raised my hand and the teacher said, “yes?” And I said, I have a question.

I said, “Are you saying or suggesting that all of these five things are something that all people go through with in regards to the cycle or the participation of death?” And the teacher said, “yes.” And I said, well, couldn’t there be six stages? Couldn’t there be eight stages? Couldn’t there be three? Meaning, give me a half a second. Could we have a debate or discussion about what other stages could be involved with that. And the teacher looked at me like I was messing up his syllabus and stated, “Does anyone want to have a discussion about this?” And all the other students didn’t say a word. They didn’t say “yes,” they didn’t say “no,” but there was no desire to participate in what could have been the discussion about these five stages of grief.

14:45 – Weston
And with that, there was a part of me that felt like I had bothered the entire class by asking this question to maybe challenge this particular cycle.

Elizabeth Kuebler-Ross Interestingly enough, as only the Universe would have it, was a client of mine. She was going through her own transition out of her physical body. So I thought that was interesting to be introduced to her work as a freshman in college and then much later in life to actually have physical relationship with her.

If you are having a thought or a feeling that you’re going to be bothering or upsetting somebody, again, whether that’s consciously aware of that or subliminally or non-verbally, and especially if you’re hypersensitive, you may want to turn that down. When you put forth an ask, you don’t want to think that you’re bothering or upsetting anybody.

Let me give you this example. If I’m asking for, let’s say a raise and there are other people in the company wanting raises, too. If I hold a thought or a belief, that if I take this raise there won’t be money for others… then my asking is going to be competitive in nature. This is going to directly impact your asking.

16:18 – Weston
If that’s the truth, meaning if I have that thought, then there’s going to be the concept that my asking is something I shouldn’t do because it’s not necessarily for the benefit of everybody. It’s very interesting because that choice, that thought, that when we ask, and to think that it is competitive in nature or is in conflict with anything else is something very interesting.

Now, there are things that we’ll talk about increased our connection in making sure that our asks are in line with the Universe. But you’ll find that your asking is not competitive with someone else’s ask. If we’re taught that, then it becomes another reason why we can’t ask for that particular thing. Now, for the next item in our 10 reasons why you can’t ask for what you want is by far the hugest one on the table, and that is that you’re afraid that you won’t get it.

17:22 – Weston
If we don’t ask, then we don’t have to be afraid about being disappointed, right? That goes hand in hand. Again, this conditioning make go back to being a child, wondering if we ask for something, at that point being told “no” often enough, that at one point, we just stop asking. This summary which is no longer having a desire to ask.

Now, that’s very, very deep.

And that takes us into a whole series of negative thoughts in terms of our manifestation. It is very, very, very important to see that sometimes people can actually drown or go into states of depression, or states of severe separation in not asking… because of a fear or a feeling that they won’t be able to receive the thing that they’ve been asking for. If you’ve been conditioned not to ask, then you don’t. As an example, the like coming to the dinner table maybe at Thanksgiving, when we have the whole family there. Perhaps, there are guests of political importance, this could include our own family members.

18:30 – Weston
So, if you’re a child sitting at the table with important people maybe you’ve been conditioned – very specifically by mom, dad, or other people being told not to ask a question – or not to even engage in conversation. When that becomes a reality then this pattern might continue for the rest for your life.

Thinking that there are conditions or places that we can ask is severely limiting. This may be at the dinner table, or maybe in the boardroom, or maybe with our boss, or maybe even going to the ballpark and asking for something to eat, because you’ve been conditioned not to ask.

These things seem to be simple, but they actually add up to severe states of separation that create a division or a state of separation within us that prevents us from being able to create anything that we actually want to manifest. Now, this last thing is, of course, the more general topic that we’re afraid to ask, period, because maybe we’re going to be harmed or hurt if we ask.

19:46 – Weston
Now, that’s a biggie, too, because there’s lots of people that have been conditioned through older siblings, if they go to ask, that they’re actually going to be threatened or hurt. This hurt could be emotional, certainly it can be physical. If there has been projected fear towards you that you’re choosing to ask creates a feeling that you are to be afraid, then that really takes us again, on a very negative downward spiral in places that we really don’t want to go.

In summary, this concludes our 10 reasons why you can’t ask for what you want.

But I promised you something very special at the end because I think it’s very important not to necessarily get stuck with all the reasons why you can’t ask, but maybe we can shift our paradigm, to having a quick understanding of actually how the Universe works when we ask.

I think this is so important because if we know how the Universe works based our asking – and understanding how the Universe is actually conditioned upon us asking – then we now know the importance of asking in itself. If we don’t ask, if we don’t put forth a desire, then we quite literally limit ourselves.

20:55 – Weston
We could even say it differently. If we’re not asking we are disabling ourselves from being able to participate as the Creators that we are. Every request that you make is heard and appreciated and returned to you the minute, actually the second, the microsecond that you ask for it. Now, some of you may have a challenge with that, which is exactly why we’ve gone through these hurdles. But I want you to stay with me in terms of how the Universe actually does work.

Asking is a part of how nature works. If you subscribe to; hope, faith, “I want”or even belief –lovingly, some of that works. But there’s a completely different space to appreciate. When you realize that every request made by you is heard, appreciated, and returned to you the minute or even the microsecond that you asked for it, it’s different when you know. There’s a vibration in knowing your asking is outside of any thought of resistance. This is why we’ve identified these 10 points of resistance to pinpoint the places of conflict and replace it with the aspect of knowing.

22:15 – Weston
In the Minor Leagues of understanding what is being share here; you can have a belief, or a want, or have faith, or hope, in your asking but it isn’t nearly as powerful as putting forth a commanded in knowing. If you want proof to this in terms of how the Universe actually works, you see this especially when we put forth what I will call a “dramatic ask,” meaning the plane’s going down or I’m about to hit something. And then your ask becomes more than just; I hope that I don’t hit this car, or I sure would not like to skid off the freeway and cause another accident with an oncoming vehicle.

This becomes very different when we’re under a dramatic circumstance, and because of that circumstance, our ask becomes “a demand” or “even a command.” So, when we realize that the Universe works by our asking, it’s tremendously encouraged that we put forth our ask that is aligned with the Universe. Now, something to understand about that. When a person asks to win the lottery, for example, and that’s not within the person’s spiritual blueprint then that can negate the ask. I’ve created short video that I’d sure like you to go check that out.

23:36 – Weston

Most people don’t have any idea what their spiritual blueprints are. But if you become aware that as a spiritual being, you have this spiritual blueprint that you put forth, and maybe winning the lottery isn’t something that you’ve come here to create. Then asking to win the lottery becomes in conflict with what we’ll call that desire that you put forth as a soul.

When you understand that, then you can see that there’s a conflict. So if I am asking that I want to win the lottery again and again is outside of what it is I’ve actually come here to do as a spiritual being, then that would be a conflict, and we just want to see that conflict. So, when we want to ask the Universe, we want to ask the Universe cleanly. And what I mean with that is we want to be without these internal conflicts. And that’s I’ve given you these 10 reason why you can’t ask for what you want.

But if we ask in a space in absolute clarity or absolute authority, and we go further to prepare to receive the thing that we were asking for, and we remain open to receive – we can even go further to thank the Universe for the very thing that you’re asking for, even concurrent as you’re asking for it. This how to ask the Universe cleanly.

24:59 – Weston
I can’t begin to emphasize with you how important it is for you to ask and to address these reasons, these ten reasons why you can’t ask for what.

When you realize how to create and align with the Universe asking and receiving become easy. The importance of asking, knowing that there is a space within you that does know, and the vibration that goes with that knowing, and that we can put forth a dramatic ask, means we can ask cleanly without internal conflicts and with absolute authority.

In this space, we know how we can create what we want. This is why it is given to us to be the creators that we are.

We’ve discussed a lot of reasons why you couldn’t previously ask. Hopefully you don’t remember any of them. However, if there was even one reason that you could feel that you could relate to, then please go to the podcast within the transcription and look up these lists of 10 items that are presented to see if any of them does resonate as a conflict within your asking.

26:03 – Weston
And if it does, then the most important thing for you to do is give yourself permission to feel imbalance and to transcend that conditioning or even the feeling that previously created. The most important thing that you can do is to remember to ask and to ask cleanly. And when you do this, this means without any resistance to your currently having the thing that you’re asking for. And lastly, be in gratitude for the very thing that you’re asking for. Don’t wait. You can do it now. Be in gratitude for the thing that you want to ask for. There’s no reason why you can’t have anything and everything that you want when you’re asking this way.

My Story

What time is it?  What happens when time changes? How does God keep time?  How does the Universe translate your timely requests and desires?

Why can’t God tell time? I can observe components of nature that are perfectly aligned and perfectly timed. Then there’s other times I wonder if God has a watch at all.

This question, why God can’t tell time?, is actually a really important one because of how it impacts our ability to receive more information.

Transcription: Why God Can’t Tell Time.

[00:51]
Why can’t God tell time? I can observe components of nature that are perfectly aligned and perfectly timed. Then there’s other times I wonder if God has a watch at all. For example, our Earth rotates at roughly 1,000 miles per hour. That’s only true if you live on the equator. If you live, say, 45 degrees up or halfway between the equator and either the North or South poles, then the rotation speed of the Earth actually slows to about 733 miles per hour. How do I know? I didn’t, that is, until I looked it up at the website called space.com, where you can check the numbers, too. But this spinning ball of ours called Earth, is actually traveling in an orbit around the sun at 66,600 miles per hour. Let’s take the 66,600 miles per hour that the Earth is moving in orbit around the sun and appreciate that the universe seems to be very exact in keeping this Earth spinning at roughly 1,000 miles per hour. So my My question is, if the universe can keep this one planet spinning and traveling with such perfect accuracy, then why can’t God tell time? I ask this because as a spiritual channel, I’ve shared dates and times, some of which seem to be esoterically and metaphysically perfectly accurate.

[02:21]
While at other times, it seems that I’ve either misrepresented the spiritual information provided to me or the Universe is broadcasting the wrong time for specific events. This question, why God can’t tell time?, is actually a really important one because of how it impacts our ability to receive more information. Let me offer you some specific examples to contemplate. Once, I was channeling in a session for a woman, and I told her that she would have twins within a very specific time frame. As soon as I finished channeling, the woman started to laugh. I asked, Why are you laughing? She said, “…I’m not even dating. So, how in the world am I going to have twins in the time frame that you’ve spoken of?”

[03:11.730]
In another example, I was offering a couple’s session for two partners concurrently at the same time. The romantic pair who had called me, among other things, wondered if his drug addiction was in remission because he had just successfully completed a very long drug rehabilitation program. I channeled the answer, “No. You’ll actually be dead in about three months. I added.”

[03:38.820]
Let’s be clear, I don’t share this channeled information lightly without being very, very clear. I’m called what you might reference as a clear channel. This means I will share whatever based upon you, the participant’s desire to have this information shared. This means any and all information. But again, with one caveat, only if I have your permission.

[04:06]
I actually asked this couple, three times, “Are you sure you want to hear the truth?” Totally shocked by my answer. This once addicted spouse said, “This can’t be true. I’m doing so well, and I’ve just completed everything successfully at the rehab clinic, and I’ve been sober for X months.” I remained quiet. The man continued to talk nervously, as if to convince himself and his partner that he was indeed doing okay.

[04:39.240]
In both of the examples, it came to pass in the very exact nature in which I had channeled. The woman who wasn’t yet dating, fell in love, married, and yes, she had twins. And as I had foreseen with the couple, the woman reached out to me about six months after her partner’s death to confirm the accuracy of the timing of what I had shared.

[05:06.]
However, what do we do with the flip side of the coin?

[05:12]
In another example, I was channeling for a woman who wanted to meet her future partner. At the time, she too wasn’t dating, but she wanted to find her soulmate. I shared details about her future soulmate and how he would arrive. To be totally transparent, the time frame in which I channeled that the guy would physically show up was almost six months off. Further, when the two did meet, the man, a doctor, suddenly quit his practice and moved out of the area. The woman I had channeled for was devastated on two accounts. One, that her soulmate showed up six months late, and two, that he didn’t stay to complete what was otherwise a wonderful romantic connection. In essence, it could easily appear that either Source can’t keep time or I’m off.

[06:04]
I take what I do really seriously, and I bet when you ask for direct spiritual guidance and direction, you do too. Maybe you’ve personally tuned in and received a spiritual message with a specific time frame, only to watch the forthcoming event come and go. It can make you question your ability to tune in and receive spiritual information accurately and this result can, of course, wreck havoc on your confidence.

[06:34.680]
You may then question if you’re receiving spiritual information accurately, and you too may question yourself if you are indeed getting the right time frame when, spiritually, it’s given to you associated with the message.

[06:47]
In summary, you may question, “Why can’t God keep time?” For a laugh, you may think that the universal watch is different than the one that you wear on your wrist, and you’d really be totally right about that. Some people have even coined the phrase in God’s time. This phrase is commonly used to describe the misalignment of someone’s expected time frame compared to that of Source. The phrase, “In God’s time,” works in this circumstance, but perhaps there’s more to understand.

[07:24]
Some of what I have to say, you may find comfort knowing, while other parts of what I have to say may be not so easy to understand. If you don’t mind, let me start with the hard part first. Time isn’t real. Well, you may have heard that before, but because you’re so immersed with the concept of time, you may not really get it. You’ve been taught that everything has a beginning and an end. This is why spiritual concepts such as eternal can’t be properly processed by any mind that believes in a start and a stop.

[08:02]
Even on Earth, time isn’t real. Depending on where you are, the time is always different, isn’t it? My talking to someone in London is eight hours later than Pacific Coast time. Anyone speaking from the East Coast to the West Coast is separated by three hours. And watch this. If you’re on the Navajo Indian reservation, it’s an hour later than being at the Grand Canyon within the same state of Arizona. So if you asked Spirit, what time your daughter-in-law will have her baby, how should spirit answer the question? Should they use London time, Pacific Coast time, East Coast time, or the time in Arizona at the Grand Canyon, or the different time in Arizona on the Navajo reservation?

[08:54]
Well, to be clear, we need to go back to the part where I said that time isn’t real. This could be the reason that our asking spirit time-based questions, well, it could be difficult for them to answer, right? I want you to imagine being in these spiritual ethers where time doesn’t exist. Then you’re trying to communicate to someone incarnated on Earth when you don’t, in fact, use time as a reference point. This is a dilemma, isn’t it?

[09:24]
How can Source in the Universe be so exact with our spinning Earth, traveling through orbit and spinning on its axis? And yet we also need to have accuracy of this same kind, and we use that for such things as atomic time- which we consider to be one of the most accurate means of describing time. Again, a beginning and an end.

[09:50.140]
And when we go to ask Source something for the future in terms of forecasting a time, how can we incorporate all of this? Before we go any further, let me share with you something about atomic time. Basically, atomic time is a means of measuring time based upon atomic oscillations. Time is based on oscillations or movement. That makes sense in our seemingly ever moving dynamic. This means that we are so used to movement that we really don’t know what it is to remain still. Your senses are all geared towards movement. Same as mine are. You won’t actually see something unless it moves. This is the way that our brain is wired. There’s just too much information. If it’s not moving, we’re very likely not to see it, or better stated, we’re not actually able to pay attention.

[10:44]
What does this have to do with time? Well, let me share something super significant with you. Source isn’t moving. This is, again, why you hear words such as Creator, Source, God, Eternal, because all in all, these descriptive terms state the same thing. I’m the beginning and the end, or I’m the Alpha and the Omega.

[11:08]
Let me make this a little simpler, or it could get a little bit more complicated. You’ll tell me, let’s suppose for a moment that you’re traveling on a plane. Let’s make it easy. Say you’re traveling on a plane from Los Angeles to London. The time difference between the two locations is eight hours. Yet, the actual flying time from LA to London is eleven and a half hours. So what if we asked Source about your daughter-in-law’s due date in terms of the delivery date and time while traveling on the plane? How should Source answer your question? If you were flying from LA to London, you would have to add an hour to your watch every 1 hour and 26 minutes to be accurate with your time. But again, remember, the flying time from LA to London is 11 and a half hours.

[12:06]
This is why you’d have to reset your watch right an hour and every 26 minutes to make those adjustments as you went through the trip. It could be easily said that you’ve lost time during this flight, but then someone may say, “Well, you’re going to get the time back when you come back from London to LA, -right?” But what if you don’t fly back?

[12:29]
And again, my question is, with all of this complication or simplicity, how should Spirit answer your time-based questions? Well, as you can see, it appears to be complicated, and we can appreciate why someone would coin the adage in God’s time. But what we’re really after is clarity. Clarity in terms of time, if it’s to be presented, and clarity as to the message being received, right? You being right is often associated with time. Right or correct, spiritually, I mean.

[13:05.850]
This is my specific purpose in talking to you about why God can’t keep time. It’s because there’s a common thought that if you don’t get time correctly, then with all the other spiritual information that you might receive, it may be invalid. And that’s a problem, right? There have been many times that I’ve tuned into the stock market, and the stock market is always moving, right?

[13:29]
And I’ve asked if a stock or the market in general will move in a certain direction and by how much and when. The last part of this question incorporates time. There are times, pun intended, where I have been exceedingly accurate, and other times I wonder if I’m even close to the dartboard. I’m sharing all this because the more you come down the path of using your intuition and tuning in regularly, you’re going to hit this challenge. Even if you’re relying on a resource such as myself as the clear channel that I am, this may assist you as to why there can be changes in time frames that are shared with you. This isn’t at all a cop-out or an excuse. Like I said in the beginning, I take spiritual channeling very seriously. And as you tune in spiritually, then you will absolutely be challenged from time to time, pun intended, as you relay information for yourself or others.

[14:25]
So let me address something else that’s equally important. When asking any question at any time from any location. This means whether you’re on a train, bicycle, or even a spaceship, there’s something else to consider.

[14:42]
You’re moving. Actually, I’d like to rephrase that. You think that you’re moving. Even if you’re standing still on the equator, we know that you’re spending at the rate of about 1,000 miles per hour while traveling in orbit at 66,600 miles per hour. In this illusion of movement, any picture, any snap of a camera that you take is only going to be a fragment of the actual movement. I’m going to try and keep this part really simple. Any question that you have is going to be moving. It’s like taking a picture, just one picture, while spinning again at 1,000 miles per hour and traveling in an orbit at 66,600 miles per hour. It’s only going to give you a tiny fragment of the whole. And that’s just in this dimension.

[15:33]
Do you get it? The challenge or the dilemma? When we ask questions of Source in this perception of all this movement, then we, if we’re perfectly accurate, are only getting a fragment of the whole. So you may wonder how we can address only getting a fragment based upon these conditions. And the answer really isn’t so hard. You’re actually encouraged to ask Source lots and lots of questions.

[16:04]

The reason I want to share with you this Secrets of Free Writing online course is because it really, really does help you address your questions.

[17:14]
Continuing with our podcast, Why God Can’t Tell Time. To be perfectly fair with you, in consideration of the couple that I was giving a couple’s session to, spirit could have easily just addressed that question if he was to complete rehab successfully as “no.” Source didn’t have to say to this individual that he would have another relapse and die within the three-month time frame.

[17:44]
Now, if you’re anything like me, again, you don’t share a message just like this without being absolutely sure. So I’m sharing with you what I’ve been taught spiritually for decades. I ask lots and lots and lots of questions. Here’s what I know. The more questions that you ask, the better.

[18:03]
Further, the Universe is wonderfully consistent in answering your questions. You may find slightly different changes or movements with the answers to your questions, but you’ll generally find there’s something consistent, unless something magical has changed in the playing field.

[18:22]
Let me give you another example. I was asked by a client this question, “Will I go to jail?” I answered, “Yes, definitively, period.” Months later, the same person called me for another private session, and he asks me the same question, surrounding the same event, the question being, “Will I go to jail?”

[18:45]
This time, I channeled the answer, “no.” Immediately after my channeled response, I inquired of the person I was facilitating, and I asked, “Did something change?” The person responded that a dramatic change had taken place, and the final result was that he physically wasn’t going to serve jail time. This, too, is something that you must address in getting information from Source.

[19:08]
I have offered specific scenarios of forthcoming future events, only to have that information seemingly be mistimed. In another really personal example, a close friend of mine once asked me if she had cancer again. In that case, I did offer her affirmatively that, “Yes, she did.” I gave her an exact time frame in which she had to live. But when the time frame proved to be wrong, and what I mean by that, it didn’t happen within the time frame that I had shared, I felt really disturbed that I might have miscommunicated or offered her some misinformation And certainly, I would never want to offer anybody any fear.

[19:49]
I knew that what I had heard was correct and that I had delivered it to her in the exact same way that had been given to me. But my friend was still living. So I was trying to reach out to my friend to explain what I had heard and that maybe I had heard something in there with regards to the timing. In essence, I was hoping that my spiritual sharing wasn’t creating any separation in our friendship. Or even more importantly, I wanted to convey that my spiritual channeling hopefully hadn’t set her back in any way.

[20:23]
But my friend wrote me back very lovingly, stating that the truth of what I had shared put her into a space of wanting to take action, real action, to create a different outcome than what I had forecasted. She wrote me a very heartfelt letter stating that she knew that my sharing would be difficult. But this is why she also turned often to me in such pivotal times in her life because she also knew that I would share the truth.

[20:53]
She went on in her correspondence to state that she wanted to live and that she took the channeled message that I had to her and the time frame, and she put all of her focus and energy, into changing the outcome that I had foretold. I was only too happy to be wrong, but it was only a short few months later that the timeline that I had offered, just a little bit beyond it, that she did pass. In essence, the time frame that I had channeled was used by my friend to create a different an outcome. She used it to extend her life.

[21:33]
I’ve seen it go much, much further than this. I’ve channeled information with, again, a very specific timeline to see the timeline change based upon the truth of what was shared and someone using it to their empowerment to change the future, their future, in a different way.

[21:50]
I know that you know that you have the ability to change the future, but not everything is negotiable, as not determined by me, of course, but by your own Higher Self and your Soul and the things that you want to create in this domain, this plane. Sometimes, some of the biggest life changes are made when we’re seemingly really pushed into a corner and we receive spiritual information that we might perceive to be not desired or good. But we use the information to empower ourselves to a different outcome.

[22:30]
Have you ever considered that this might be the proper meaning of in God’s time?

[22:42]
In summary, I don’t think there’s an issue with the Universe or Source in keeping balance or accurate time. Certainly, I do think there is plenty of room for you and I to continue to keep a constant ear and a vigilant in eye to what source and spirit is sharing with us. If there’s one thing and one thing only that you might glean from this podcast, and that is if you’ve ever wondered about receiving information accurately from source, then I’d suggest that you ask a lot of questions. In fact, the more questions that you ask that you’re comfortable with, the better.

[23:15]
Because the entire process is about connecting. And isn’t that connection even more important than what time it is? Specifically, practicing the process of spiritually connecting in truth and consistency. If you practice this, it will show you the way. There are times that your ego may be very excited that you were offered information that was perfectly timed. And there may be times and times when you could be offered something that is totally off.

[23:51]
Again, I totally suggest that you listen, see, and feel to what’s being shown. And I know of no better way than to ask ask lots of questions. Think of yourself being like a child who wants to know the truth. Any time-related issues will definitely sort themselves out without you having to worry about it.

Transcription: Why Being A Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) is a Gift?

[00:00:51.390] – Weston
Hi, everybody, and thank you for joining me. My name is Weston Jolly, and I want to share, as a highly sensitive person, Why You’re Being a Highly Sensitive Person is Actually a Gift.

[00:01:03.660] – Weston
Being highly sensitive enables you to see and to feel things differently, doesn’t it? You may not know it, but you have an ability as a highly sensitive to go into the depth of connection, especially with people and certainly with relationships. One of the gifts of being highly sensitive is extraordinary –which allows you to spiritually see. And a lot of people don’t know that as a highly sensitive person, your actual energy is quite healing.

[00:01:42.830] – Weston
Have you ever noticed that maybe there’s this proclivity that you’ve noticed in life where people will just tell you things that they don’t tell everybody else? These are all attributes of you being highly sensitive. It enables you to see things in ways ways that other people don’t.

[00:02:01.920] – Weston
And of course, there’s the flip side. You know what I mean! The feeling perhaps that you need to protect yourself or that maybe you’re overwhelmed by crowds or loud noises. And there may be a part of you that wants to people-please or to accommodate with others.

[00:02:24.540] – Weston
Sometimes as a highly sensitive person, there’s this need to, we hate to admit this, but to control. And what I mean is, we want to control our environments, the stimulus around us, and sometimes even people. And these are attributes, of course, of our being highly sensitive, are of course, disabling.

[00:02:44.560] – Weston
Maybe you don’t even know that you’re highly sensitive. And because of that, I put together a quiz for you to determine to what degree they are a Highly Sensitive Person. So if you go to my website here you’ll see a quiz, it in fact, determine if you’re highly sensitive. Take it, find out if you are HERE. At the end of the quiz, there’s an affirmation for you to help you to become more fully empowered, whatever level of sensitivity that you may be.

[00:03:17.310] – Weston
Today, I’m going to focus on why being a highly sensitive person is an actual gift. And since you’re highly sensitive, I’m going to be talking to you differently because, well, you are different. What I really need to say is I want you to pay special attention to all the details because, of course, you can.

[00:03:47.650] – Weston
In all honesty, as a highly sensitive person, sometimes you feel other people’s energy, don’t you? Sometimes it’s the world, sometimes it may be a spouse or it may be a brother, sister, but it doesn’t really matter whom when you can feel disconnected. And such was the day this last Saturday, meaning I was feeling, not physically low, but not necessarily myself, my True Self, by any means. I was struggling, to be really honest. Now, my partner had gone to the grocery store, and she’d come back, and she was unloading the car. In doing so, there was a woman and a little girl across the street. And evidently, the little girl and my partner caught eyes with one another. My wife went on with her unloading of food and shut the garage door after bringing the groceries in. Meaninwhile, I was inside just taking it easy, again, maybe even a little withdrawn or sullen, if you will. Then, the doorbell rang. This is maybe half an hour later after my wife got home.

[00:04:54.670] – Weston
I was walking to the door and I was thinking that the neighbor must be there because sometimes he comes next door and just says, he wants to borrow a garbage container or something. Anyway, I’m walking to the front door, then I hear this loud knocking. I thought, wow, he’s really impatient today! So I’m walking faster but I can’t see anybody. Our front door is actually half glass, an obscure glass from the waist up. And I couldn’t see a person. So I thought, It must be a child. And because of that, my mind went to the idea this must be somebody soliciting.

[00:05:26.540] – Weston
You know a little girl who is soliciting or a little boy. Sure enough, as I opened the door, there stands before me this little girl of four years old. Mom is standing about 20 feet back on the sidewalk, and already she’s visibly uncomfortable. The little girl said, “What’s your name?” I, of course, offered my name. And in that moment, I could feel something was taking place. Now, if I get emotional in sharing this, it’s only because it’s something that meant a great deal to me. I thought it might mean a great deal to you, too, and this is why I wanted to share it.

[00:05:59.140] – Weston
Stella is standing before us, and her mom intervenes and saying, “This is my daughter and she insisted on knocking on your door. And She does that from time to time.” You could tell that mom was uncomfortable and trying to make excuses for her daughter for her actions. I heard her, I could feel her, meaning the little girl’s mom and her discomfort. But I also recognize something special right before me.

[00:06:24.210] – Weston
Stella is not as tall as my belt line, and she’s already telling me about herself. By this time, my and her wife had come up, and she also introduced herself. They were talking for a moment, and we were all talking, conversing, with this little girl Stella and also her mom. Again, mom was trying to give us excuses of why this is a very uncomfortable for her, that from time to time saying, “Stella absolutely insists that shea has to knock on some people’s houses.” I said, “This is normal for us.”

[00:06:52.800] – Weston
Stella’s Mom looked at us strangely because we said, “Well, we have a son who’s now, of course, grown that used to do this as well. He used to knock on other people’s houses, and he knew everybody in the neighborhood. We know this because we would drive in the car with our son, and people would wave at him, and they would wave in a way that we could tell that he knew them, and they knew who he was. And so we would ask, “How did you know Mr. So-and-so?” And he said, “Well, they invited me in for cookies, or they have a dog named Peter,” or whatever these details were. And I said, Well, how did you know that? He said, Well, I knocked on her door.

[00:07:23.170] – Weston
So let’s get back to Stella, having knocked on her door for the first time as our little meeting was about to finis. Stella began to walk away, just abruptly as she had walked up. And then suddenly she did a U-turn, 180 degrees, and came back and literally hugged my leg. I needed that. I really needed that. Because sometimes as a highly sensitive person, you don’t know or you have a feeling that you’re alone and or people don’t understand you. Here Stella is with her mom, with the mentorship of her mom offering conditioning her little girl as what’s right and what’s not right in terms of door-to-door etiquette.

[00:08:05.890] – Weston
She knocked on our door, feeling the energy of this household, wanting to say “hello,” wanting to create contact, wanting to express herself in the way that she did. And of course, I got down to my knees and I hugged her back. I had to. And still walked off and I was touched. I was floored in the idea that this is how it’s done. A remembrance, if you will.

[00:08:33.290] – Weston
Perhaps as a highly sensitive person, you need to know that you touch the world in the same way. This is exactly what I wanted to bring to your attention about your choice to be highly sensitive and what a gift it is. Through your connection as a highly sensitive person, you have an ability to see things and to create things in ways that other people don’t. And you have an ability to have access to love and to truth and to what’s real and what isn’t. And there could be millions of reasons, like Stella’s mom, that would have you thinking that somehow Stella’s different or weird or that she shouldn’t be knocking on people’s houses. Maybe you have these same feelings within you. But we need to overcome these thoughts and to really address what is the truth.

[00:09:28.990] – Weston
Because you’re conditioning at one time or another, perhaps someone has given you the idea that you’re somehow crazy. And thinking of yourself maybe like the old Apple ad called, “Here’s to the Crazy Ones.” In this ad, you are introduced to the idea that you are crazy, maybe as a troublemaker. And maybe you think differently. Further, you might be a genius. And maybe you are genius enough that you are actually here as a highly sensitive person to change the world because you actually see the world differently.

[00:10:08.640] – Weston
You may still hold on to ideas that you’re somehow confused, thinking that you’re crazy. And because of that, you may have chosen some very, very standardized thoughts, which is to say that you might be quiet, withdrawn, and perhaps at times even confused. But I’m going to say something very strongly, you’re not confused! And that you need to express ,and to see, and to feel,what you do see and what you do know especially in the spiritual realm.

[00:10:40.950] – Weston
So you may ask the question, How do I function or what do I do as a highly sensitive person? I’ll give you the answer right up front, which is, you’ve got to express yourself.

[00:10:52.250] – Weston
I want you to think of Stella, 4-year-old Stella, who insisted, even with her mom’s discomfort, that she had to knock on our door to connect with us in a household of sensitive people, to share this love, to share this connection that is indeed spiritual, that can’t be missed.

[00:11:11.940] – Weston
Any time that you participate in that energy of your own regard, it’s going to feel breathtaking. In fact, as a highly sensitive person that you are, your going to feeling a lot of emotions. Oftentimes, in this world, there’s this idea that we’re supposed to be emotionless, as if that’s something that’s a desired attribute. And perhaps you’ve shut yourself down or you’ve tried to quiet within yourself. You don’t want that, because these emotions are actually taking you someplace. They enable you to, again, feel things, to get in touch with things that are indeed very spiritual in nature. And we need to let go of the idea that we’re here to try and fit in or to be anything less than who we are you are, to know that this is something that you have come with as a gift.

[00:12:16.650] – Weston
You really want to honor it because it means that these emotions that we were talking about just a moment ago are assets. They’re assets in feeling the human spirit, the soul, and the essence of truth. This is what makes you feel different. But you’ve got to be safe enough to be able to express this truth boldly, don’t you? We need to do that without excuse. Anytime that you have chosen to avoid truth, or even spiritual truth, as a highly sensitive person, you may feel like some part of you is being chipped away at, maybe like a block of ice where there’s a hammer and big chunk comes out of you because you didn’t express. We need to realize that there’s a tremendous cost in being a highly sensitive person by not expressing ourselves. So, giving ourselves permission to express actually fuels our connection. And the opposite is true when we don’t, it costs us; psychologically, spiritually, and of course, it’s going to drain you. And I’m sure you’ve experienced that, where you have felt drained, and of course, ultimately, that can create health issues.

[00:13:29.980] – Weston
So, as a highly sensitive person, you must remove the conditioning to be quiet or to hide it or to obscure yourself from any confrontation. That’s not what we’re here to do. We’re here to connect, and we don’t want to compromise that. And how could you? Meaning, how could you withdraw yourself from the very thing that you come here to do? This is just allowing yourself to be who you really are, which is something that connects you to Source.

[00:14:00.030] – Weston
Of course, because of this, you must see yourself for what you are, that you have an ability to connect in this way, you become a lens, if you will, or conduit, sometimes a medium. We could even use the word “channel,” couldn’t we? For you to share with others what it is that you see, what it is that you feel. And this gives you extraordinary skills in terms of being maybe a therapist or someone who is a spiritually in tune or a creator, an inventor. It oftentimes gives you the ability to see through the mire or the silliness or even the heaviness of this world. Sometimes in management or even in business, you can see through things because you just have that ability or the sensitivity which allows you to do that.

[00:14:49.580] – Weston
I remember one man who was actually a metal worker, and he was so in tune with his choice to work with that modality that he would literally talk, as in communicate to the object that he was working on. Now, you may think that he’s a goofy machinist out in the shop, but he was actually a nuclear engineer. I share this with you because he’s not necessarily the common person doing some idle work in the shop. And, he’s certainly not crazy. No, he’s actually tuning in to that degree. And I want you to understand that does represent you, that your ability as a highly sensitive person puts you in a position to be a metaphysical scientist, if you will, or certainly one that can integrate with ingredients in the same way that a chef might or certainly an artist might, where we bring these ingredients to the table and we’re conveying something that’s outside of this realm. Think Picasso, think Da Vinci. That there’s some part of them that had a sensitivity that enabled them to bring into this world something that they saw, something that they felt. Mozart as well.

[00:16:11.300] – Weston
The beauty to communicate on levels that some people don’t see even when they construct it, whether it’s a symphony or an artistic expression, or even in the depth of a conversation such as this. I do want you to understand that this whole world is a very, very simple place, and sometimes you could think of it as barbaric or very uncomfortable, to the point, perhaps you, at times, maybe even given consideration of not wanting to be here. You may wonder what your spiritual purpose is.

[00:16:48.980] – Weston
But I’m wanting to communicate with you very directly that your choice to see yourself as a highly sensitive person is, of course, a doorway. And there’s much more. Even in preparation of this podcast, I was actually shocked to find out to what degree I am sensitive. Meaning you take these things for granted in the same way that I have. But we don’t want to do that. We want to go beyond that. This is why we want to see things and share those things with the rest of the world that we do share and have access to, spiritually, for sure, so that we can communicate this spiritual understanding, not necessarily just for the sake of vanity or for the sake of teaching or to to complete a course per se, but to really honor the fact that we’re creating an image of What Is.

[00:17:38.740] – Weston
When I say image, I want you to realize that we all are creators, and being highly sensitive enables you to have a very detailed understanding of those things that you have access to seeing. And as such, when you choose to express, the things you offer to the world is an insight to the beauty, spiritually, creatively, intellectually, again, through innovation that others haven’t or don’t have access to. And of course, you make contribution to the world in ways that maybe you don’t even understand that you do.

[00:18:12.570] – Weston
When you feel enormously emotional because of anything that might be described as brutal or barbaric, you don’t need to question if you’re okay. You don’t need to freak out because you may be unduly sensitive to cloth, clothing, the coarseness of conversation, the harshness of, sometimes even masculinity. And what I mean by that is the energy that people have to be very gruff or bullying or taking of energy. And as a sensitive, you can feel these things. And sometimes, perhaps in your choice to be dis empowered, you have been taken advantage of in that way. This is something we need to flip by choosing to express yourself because you’re truly empowered.

[00:19:02.310] – Weston
So you may be asking yourself as a highly sensitive person, what natural gifts do you have? And of course, they are, as I’ve been sharing, to create, to inspire, and to touch people in ways that you don’t even know that it’s possible. And again, through healing, through spiritual awareness, through teaching, through, again, a portal to the other side. How is it that someone can have access to an animal or a person or a situation that goes outside of explanation?

[00:19:35.390] – Weston
As a personal example, I was offering a personal session in San Francisco, and the woman that sitting with me for an in-person session had asked to bring her younger son, who was autistic. He played nicely on the floor while I was talking to his mother. Then I asked in the middle of our session if it would be all right if his son would sit in my lap. And she looked at me very startled because, well, two things. One, he didn’t like touch. And two, he wasn’t necessarily fond of the masculine energy. These things were shared by mom to me very immediately. But her son was already up and walking my direction.

[00:20:10.650] – Weston
And the mom was staring, watching this in a state of shock as her son came over and sat on my lap. In one way, like I was Santa Claus, meaning he just literally sat on my knee. I held him and I put my hand on his back, and he didn’t say anything, but I actually channeled in his behalf to his mom who cried the entire time because she thought that she was witnessing a miracle. I’m sharing with you that her son was indeed highly sensitive, and unfortunately, perhaps even labeled with this categorization of autistic, which may or may not be true, but clearly sensitive.

[00:20:48.960] – Weston
And as one sensitive to another, we recognized one another, and so therefore, he felt no discomfort for him touching my hand or sitting on my lap in the same way he could feel me sitting on my knee, which was a a very casual occurrence …But it was very, very, very unique his allowing me to allow touch. It wasn’t that big a deal to me. But then again, it was. Because there’s a depth of having an understanding that someone actually knows you. To share that, as Stella shared that with me and my family, and certainly as that young man had the opportunity to share that with me in the way that I was sharing with him, is something that you do.

[00:21:31.330] – Weston
This is indeed part of your gift. And when you understand that, if things do feel harsh or confusing or sometimes even brutal, you’re not here to trying and engage in that brutality. And being quiet or withdrawn or very much internal, what I mean by that is sometimes even intellectually withdrawn, doesn’t necessarily take you in the direction that you want to go. Perhaps you can give yourself permission to see your highly sensitive nature in a way that is done through gratitude, and that you can be really thankful for being highly sensitive.

[00:22:16.750] – Weston
I can actually cry just at the idea that Stella had the awareness, spiritually, to come into our house, knock on our door, not to intrude, but to share with us her gift of sensitivity. And to share her love, even though that her mom was physically uncomfortable. Further, I know that as a highly sensitive person, you may have stories like Stella’s mom. I have one that I want to share with you.

[00:22:47.650] – Weston
My mom had had a stroke, and so I flew up to Boise to support her. In doing so, I had walked into her room. Mom had just been taken out of intensive care, and there was a nurse standing there.

[00:22:58.680] – Weston
It was clear to me that this nurse had been helping her. Without any real introduction, I walked up to the nurse and I hugged her. And I say, I hugged her, I hugged her, hugged her. My mom sat in her, shall we say, newly formed body as a result of the stroke. Holding onto the wheelchair in almost like a witch-like fashion. And she said, “That’s my son. He hugs everybody.” As if my love, my sensitivity, and my connection needed to be ridiculed.

[00:23:37.790] – Weston
Clearly, it was something that my mom was embarrassed of, that she didn’t know what to do with. She didn’t have this depth of connection, spiritually, physically, and certainly through the highly sensitive attributes of her son. And yet, if you have such a story, it’s important for you to realize that that’s not really you. We don’t need to be confused by your moms or dads or even people in society who have tried to take energy from you in that way. We need to be aware that as a highly sensitive person, you are indeed enormously strong, and that you don’t need to question yourself in the idea that you are crazy or maybe something’s wrong with you.

[00:24:16.260] – Weston
You are indeed different. I told you that in the very beginning. You’re infinitely different. We want to engage in that difference and honor the fact that as you express yourself, you’re going to feel good, great, phenomenal, especially in the spiritual department. Because there’s a part of you, isn’t there? That’s magnetically calling you to this simple piece of who you are. When I say simple, a desire to be connected. This is why you have a desire to connect with others in such a deep, deep way, and oftentimes, don’t find that connection. Because of that, you withdraw. But if you choose to engage by allowing yourself to be seen, whether it’s through the boldness of Stella or allowing yourself to go through or outside of the conditions that you grew up with is really, really important because we need to get away from that messy part of the past, trying to control that, control our own selves, let alone the things around us.

[00:25:13.180] – Weston
Let my message be exceedingly clear, that as a highly sensitive person, to express yourself is indeed the gift that you give to the world that literally changes it, not for the sake of anything else than you, spiritually bringing that understanding into this realm when most people can’t see it.

[00:25:30.320] – Weston
Having these gifts that you have, that our mine, as they are yours, as we share them, they truly influence and create things. They create the things that are imaged by those things that we feel, see, and know. As we share that with one another to create an inspiration, and I hope that you can feel that now, but beyond that, that you would give yourself permission to extend yourself in that honor, because that’s all it is.

[00:25:59.320] – Weston
We don’t need to think of Stella as being somehow brave at four years old is knocking somebody’s door. She’s just being who she is. If you can allow yourself to follow the simplicity of that really wonderful example, then you’re in. No longer denying your highly sensitive being, let alone potential, as you give your being side the ability to express. I know that you’re sensitive. Engage in that sensitivity in a way that allows you to feel at one and to allow anything that needs to be changed outside of that. Relationships, perhaps jobs, those things that you’ve done, even though your mind may say, “Oh my gosh, I can’t do that. I won’t be known. I won’t be appreciated.”

[00:26:43.280] – Weston
Maybe all your friends won’t know you based upon you actually reclaiming who you are. But there’s no risk. Consider yourself bold, strong, and feeling comfortable to just express who you are as a highly sensitive person and to allow all the creativity in those gifts, whether it’s writing, artistic, spiritual, therapy or innovation. These things do change the world. That’s what you have to come here to do as a highly sensitive person. The gift of all gifts. So please let me conclude truly in honor of you, the highly sensitive person.

My Story

How aware are you of the spiritual energy around you?  What kinds of things do you feel in certain spiritually rich areas such as Vortexes, Power Spots or even a Nepal Monastary?

Have you ever gone somewhere like, Hawaii, Sedona or even Nepal and felt what could only be described as spiritual energy? Sometimes called Chi, Life Force Energy or Absolute Energy there is so much in this “Unnoticed Spiritual Energy.”

Transcription: Unnoticed Spiritual Energy

I want to thank everybody for joining me today because we have a very cool topic that I’m calling the Unnoticed Spiritual Energy All Around Us. And of course, we know that there’s energy, different kinds of energy that we interrelate with. And sometimes oftentimes we’re unaware of different facets of energy that we’re basically picking up or having observation to, perhaps on a subconscious level. So part of what I want to do today in this podcast is to talk about energy as a topic, which is fun and sometimes challenging, because putting into words how energy works for a person isn’t necessarily the same for someone else. So today, I’ve done something really exciting, and I have a very special guest, and I will call her my friend as well, because she is we have Andrea. And she’s coming in from across the pond in London, England. And I just wanted to have her join us today to have her experiences. And we’re going to have Andrea and I kind of a dialogue about energy together and about some of the things that she’s experienced and my perhaps offering some guidance or leadership to that. So please let me welcome Andrea to True Connections with Weston’s podcast.

Hello. Weston I’m really excited to be chatting with you, as always.

Thank you, it’s absolutely my honor. And as you’ll get to feel, Andrea, she is just a treasure in terms of her passion, her inner beauty and her desire for personal growth, and especially in the spiritual realm. Andrea and I have been conversing for quite a while now in terms of having sessions. And I know, oftentimes, that you have asked or presented questions around energy. And again, like, we just got through talking. I thought it would be really fun for us to just have a dialogue – kind of inclusive of some of the places that you’ve been, because most people may or may not experience in this lifetime the kinds of experiences that you have. And I’m going to let you just share a little bit about maybe your interest in terms of travel and that kind of thing for the moment. And then we’ll kind of sachet into how you have felt in different aspects of some of your travels.

Sure, you know I think it’s a really interesting topic that you bring up because I get to talk with you about something that I also have found pretty interesting about the past few years. And it’s not something I’ve really spoken about that much. So, I’d say I definitely grew up traveling a lot with my parents. I’m Indonesian. And I’m American. It’s always been a big part of our family and the way we’ve connected with one another. But after those initial travels when I was young, there was a long period where I didn’t really feel like I had the energy to travel. And that was really strange for me because that was such a big identifier for me and for my family until the past few years, where I started realizing that if I traveled with a spiritual purpose, some sort of broader intention for me, with my own spiritual journey, I started to engage with places in a new way. And instead of being exhausted, I started to find myself being rejuvenated and excited about the interactions I’d have with the place I’d visit, which was really exciting, and cool, because all of a sudden, I became a lot more energized as a person, which is something I’ve struggled with a lot in my life.

Can you talk about that a little bit in terms of is it like that you struggled managing energy or you spoke just briefly just a second ago about feeling drained?

Yes. So everything seemed normal until basically, I think I hit burnout, and I became incredibly, painfully aware — of how burnt out I was. And once that happened, it was like I couldn’t shake the burnout from my body. And I experienced this long and incredibly frustrating stagnation, which I experienced as what I thought was parasites, and I would wake up really late in the day.

You physically thought you had something, not that you couldn’t, but you thought something physically was going on.

Totally… For, like, five years.

Wow….

And it was really hard to get rid of. Yeah. I had fogginess in the head. I had a lack of energy and a lack of willpower. I thought I was really lazy, but then I would have these clear moments and realize, like, oh, wow, it’s not laziness. There is something wrong.

That’s absolutely fascinating. I mean, fascinating in the sense that I think it’s a very common occurrence that we experience something energetically. And almost always, I’ll speak of myself for half a second, that we think that something’s wrong with us. So as a child, perhaps similar to you, Andrea, I’ve always had an acute sensitivity. Especially when we speak of the term of energy, meaning I can feel the energy of a room, a person, a dog, a cat, a football game. I mean, everyone can, but there are definitely people who tend to feel it more. And when we’re taking in energy and we don’t know how, and I’m putting that kind of in “air quotes” here because we do not know what we’re doing, which is not true. We just haven’t remembered what we’re doing. That’s the purpose of what we’re doing here today, is to bring that understanding to a conscious level. So, number one, that you’re not thinking that something’s wrong with you as much as perhaps you’re wanting to integrate further. And if I may speak boldly, Andrea, just in terms of some of our experience together, there was a time that I witnessed or observed that, energetically speaking, that you would be a chameleon… Meaning you would adjust your energy to the room or to the environment of the people with an intention to fit in.

And I think that’s, again, extremely common back to my own self. It’s something I emphatically did. I didn’t know that I was doing it, meaning I wasn’t conscious I was doing it, but I did it, of course, to be a part of the family or to be part of the group of friends that I wanted to be a part of. And sometimes we develop a habit of that that becomes unconscious to the point that we’re not balanced. Meaning, I’m trying so hard to match the energy of other people, but I’m not necessarily being, shall we say, in truth, for myself. I didn’t mean to dominate here, Andrea. So please let me have you continue.

No, not at all. It’s helpful to hear you say that, because as you’re saying that, I’m also processing. Yes, totally. I can almost feel it in my body, the way that I’ve matched these different places and times in my life. So much so that when I found myself, for example, at a monastery that rise in energy level, what was amazing was finding that I could match that and that I hadn’t been on a day to day holding that energy just because I didn’t see it reflected back to myself.

Well, describe that for us further. When you say match it, number one, what did you feel when you walked into the monastery and perhaps you can give us an idea where this monastery was?

Sure. So I was in Nepal, at a Tibetan monastery that’s near you can see the Himalayas. It is an exquisite place, and I felt incredibly happy.

I can feel it just talking to you. I’m sorry for so it’s okay if I get a little bit. emotional –it’s just how it works.

Totally. I’ve recently took photos on this little disposable camera. I put some of those photos on my wall. It was such a meaningful trip for me. They’re now, like, in my living room wall, and I can see the faces of some of these young monks who I met. They had such an impact on me. But I can share. When I first arrived there, I was with a group of three other women. They were in the middle of what they called a fire puja. And the puja, honestly, I can’t tell you what the direct translation is, but it’s like a prayer ritual where they all come together and do the chant, mantra. And the fire puja was outside, because there was a big fire, that they   were attending. So we arrived in the middle of where they’re already doing this chant and sat down and these tiny little monks from like, the age of five and six all the way up to adult monks, were sitting outside and they’re just really starting…

That’s interesting itself because most people, when I think of monks stereotypically, I think of someone who’s of age of 30 something. I don’t know what the age would be. So that’s interesting. But these are very tiny souls, individuals or children who are participating in this. Is that correct?

Absolutely. Yeah. It’s astonishing to see because the other thing that I had forgotten, I have had the great pleasure of being around monks, Tibetan monks, all my life, but what I’d forgotten is what I found when you’re around a Tibetan monk. So, it’s like these young monks who are five or six, they also have this incredible groundedness. They feel like the earth somehow to me.

Yeah.

And they have and what I was seeing in this ritual, an incredible devotion at such a young age. Yeah. So, anyway, so we walk up to they’re all sat in rows, looking forward to the person who’s leading it. We walk up to the side and we sit down and they come and kind of help us make us feel comfortable. And as I’m sitting down, taking in the scene of these little, little beings who are so comfortable in this spiritual work, I am really taken aback and very emotional. I think I definitely had tears in my eyes, and I didn’t know what the tears were from, to be honest, at the time. It just was all a lot. Right. Yeah. I remember sitting down and this weird thing happened. I suddenly saw my inner child in my mind’s eye.

Okay.

And she’s not always visible to me. And usually when I do see her, it’s when I’m having a difficult emotion. Sometimes I see her kind of curled up in a ball or in the corner of a room. I picture her kind of, like, hiding from people. Interesting this time. Yeah. I see her come to me and say, “Hey, I’ve got this… I know how to do this. Let me take care. Let me take over.”

Hint. Hint. Right.

 [00:12:56.030] – Andrea

Yeah. I’m like what? This is bizarre. Okay. I see her sit and cross legged within my body, and she suddenly is just moving. So they’re swaying. These little monks are swaying together as they’re chanting.

Very effortlessly. Right. If you can imagine all these children chanting and swaying, and she’s swaying with them, chanting as if she knows exactly what they’re saying. And I’m sitting there, I’m just lost in the sound, these vibrations from the chanting of all these people around me. And yeah, there’s definitely, definitely my whole body, it kind of released and grounded itself in a way that was definitely new.

Andrea this is incredible. Especially, I remembrance of your childlike self and having that connection, actually even wanting permission to, shall we say, lead. And that’s why I kind of zeroed in on the age of the monks, because where you’ve taken the conversation that we can and obviously with regards to many people have access to an energy that may be predated to this life, meaning we’re actually recalling different things that take place. I’m going to describe something, but I certainly want to hear more. We want to hear more. Andrea, in terms of what you’re.

And I want to be kind of specific for a know, we could be talking about healing energy, kundalini energy, sexual energy, focused energy, manifesting energy. There’s all kinds of energies that we can and do participate in. But today, in terms of kind of our focus, kind of opening up the door to this energetic topic, becoming aware, the unnoticed spiritual energy all around us, of course, is what we’re talking about. And so what we’re wanting to do is put focused attention on this energy, have everyone realize that you’re not alone, you’re not by yourself. And perhaps some of the things that are taking place here in terms of our dialogue together, Andrea and I will spur some energetic pieces within you. So let me share something. This is different, completely traditional, based upon what you just got through. But and I want to come back to your interrelationships with energy, because that discovery process in itself is very cool. And I do feel extremely emotional about this topic because it’s almost like a topic that you personally experience, and you wonder if other people experience it. And I’ve kind of likened that to going to a concert, and we’ve got people in the room, obviously the audience, and I’m a member of that audience, but for some reason, not with everybody, certainly I’m not the only one, but for some reason, I’m moved in a way that could be described as different than somebody else.

And I’ve always wondered why. Meaning I’ve always wondered why I would be so touched. And I say that again with air quotes, because it’s not a physical touch, but I feel touched. My heart feels touched. I feel moved, as you were describing. I feel sometimes grounded. Sometimes I feel elevated, like I’m literally floating in this connection that can be environmental or in the presence of some person. And when that happens within me, I become very excited. I mean, I become like, maybe like you, Andre. I become much like a boy. My eyes go wide and like, oh, wow, we’re about to have some fun. And so I open up and I want to play in this kind of energy. And it’s very pure, it’s very authentic. It’s the purest of languages. And most people hopefully know this, but when people are tuning in, when I say tuning in, when they’re processing, we hear the term clairvoyance or claireaudience as a means to clearly see or to clearly hear. But clairesentience, which is our ability to feel clearly, is something that is our strongest gift by far. But interestingly enough, and I say our, I’m speaking of literally everybody, but most people are unaware to the degrees that they’re actually receiving information via energy and this process.

And some people are going to want to categorize it. In terms of a physical feeling that my skin got hot or my skin got cold, which it can happen, but it doesn’t have to. It doesn’t have to originate in that kind of way. And this is why perhaps even the language today that Audrea and I are sharing could be a little bit different, but hopefully very descriptive, to elicit the permission within you, our listeners, to really feel that within yourself and have you understand that, number one, you’re not at all alone. That these things that have been processing, perhaps within you since your earliest moments. Or perhaps there’s something that’s not true, that you’ve not experienced anything until more recently. And yet you went to a concert and you’ve been to many concerts before, and all of a sudden, you felt moved in a way that you’ve never been moved before. Anyway, I just wanted to share that that connection that we have with energy can evoke all kinds of different things. Emotions within me as a person oftentimes tears, but not because I’m sad, but just because I feel ecstatic. It’s a complete and utter joy to be in this energetic presence.

And I don’t know how even to describe that from my body. My body wants to just weep, enjoy that we’re here or that we’re in the presence of something that’s sometimes we use the terms magical or that beautiful, and again, emanating from our own selves or receiving that in any way. So, Andrea, please continue with your dialogue. I didn’t mean to interrupt.

No, not at all. And are you saying when you’re saying you are feeling moved by being in the presence of something magical, are you talking about we’re back in the scene of being at the monastery?

Yes, because I haven’t been to a monastery. But I have many, many times with you, Andrea. And I know that you know this. And I’m not trying to live through you, but I can feel you and your connection to an energy of a given person or a given situation, I guess that’s me channeling, if you want to call it that. But it’s beyond empathy. It’s a total oneness. And I can basically, as if you gave me your body, I can feel you. And then suddenly my body, which is yours, wants to have all its different reactions. And of course, I’m giving it permission to do that so that I can really have we’ll call a perfect understanding of what you, in this case, is going through. And I do that with other people, of course. But there is a connection that sometimes we have with individuals that can be higher than other people. And I say higher, just like we would have friends or close acquaintances that we would maybe we use the term favor, but not necessarily in an egotistical way, but there’s just a connected way.

Sometimes these relationships that we have with one another are again beyond this realm. So when we come into one another’s presence again, sometimes this energetic exchange is just out of a remembrance. Hey, do you remember this energy and what you were just describing and feeling you, Andrea, and feeling the little girl in you, tapping into the kids, even in the swaying, I can just picture that perfectly. You start to sway as well. It’s something that is, of course, very real, and I’m saying real in the physical realm for anyone who needs that, but ultimately it’s real beyond that. And so what I’m really wanting to give, shall we say, open invitation to is to extend yourself into energies that perhaps you’ve been exposed to your whole life, but you’ve not necessarily picked up on it or become aware. Of it, or shall we say, just kicked open the door to how energies can be processed that aren’t harsh or bad, they’re just beautiful energies. And perhaps the most defined of reflections of things that you’re trying to show yourself in this lifetime in terms of bringing yourself up to a state of awareness and of course, to a choice to express.

Andrea, I definitely overstepped here. I want you to go back to the monastery and tell us what else happened because I think we’re all dying to hear what happens next.

Okay? I also just wanted to mention as we’re tuning into the scene and as Weston’s talking about some of this amazing, incredible, miracle kind of experiences, I find myself having to close my eyes, which I just wanted to mention is one way sometimes I find myself learning how to integrate or feel energy. Sometimes I feel like I get flooded by something. Again, we’re talking about trying to find language for things that are difficult. Right? But one thing I notice is when I’m flooded by a certain energy, I find myself closing my eyes because it feels good, helps me focus, maybe. What is that about?

It’s totally that focus, attention. Sometimes people who are clairvoyant also will close their eyes to prevent the physical eye from distracting from what they’re seeing artistically. Someone may choose to not look at something physical in the room. So let’s say that Andrea, for example, you were a model and you were sitting in front of the room and I was an art student, and I’m going to draw you sitting in a chair. That’s very typical in a standard art room. But there’s another way of doing it. We can take a picture of Andrea and draw that. Or we can literally close our eyes, literally, and picture the chair, picture of Andrea sitting in the chair.  So turning off a physical sense is a very common ways to give further attention to what it is that you’re perceiving now. I think that’s wonderful and I would encourage everyone to do that. And there’s no rules, right? So I don’t want anyone thinking that what I’m about to share is a rule.

However, I will stretch you that as you get more practiced, you can keep your eyes open, whether that’s a clairvoyant imagery that you can process that while physically seeing and energy, you can do the same thing. A lot of people do shut their eyes to process what they’re sensing. If I use that term that goes outside the physical senses. So that’s great. But if you can practice again, maybe just kind of turning it on and off in terms of opening up your eyes. And sometimes people go into a very still state, like a meditative state, where we would sit and focus very solemnly in an energy to basically feel it in the way that we do. Fine, but it doesn’t have to be done that way. We could be at a rave where there’s a lot of movement going on within our own bodies, and yet we don’t have to be still or with our eyes shut to perceive that. And again, I’m not necessarily talking about just the physical pieces. So I would have everyone experiment with closing your eyes, if that helps. By all means do it. And then at the same time, give yourself the opportunity to realize that you can go beyond that and don’t let the physical, should we say, interrupt what you’re processing on a spiritual level. That would be my biggest encouragement.

Thank you. Interesting. Okay, I’m taking it back to the Monistary where I’m sitting at this fire puja and I’m just astounded at all these little beings who are displaying such mastery to me of prayerful, devotional, act in something that I’m desperately trying to learn. And I just see these tiny little seven year olds who are just so naturally in their flow with it and just totally mesmerized and gassed, really. And so there’s this thing going on with my inner child, just like playing with the energy. And later when my mind is trying to make sense of it all, what I realize is that it feels like suddenly, almost for the first time, that kind of shock feel that I’m in an environment where I’m allowed to be the devotional being that I am.

Oh, wow. That’s so significant for you to say that. Sorry for getting excited, but I just go ahead.

No, I know. I just felt so incredible and I was like, what is going on? Why? What has changed? What has changed? Not much. I’m not doing anything differently. Besides, I’m here, but there’s just this. I was there for a week, and it felt like the people I met and was around, it’s not like we’re talking don’t speak English with me, but suddenly there’s this frequency or something. That’s the word I’m using for it that’s all around, that makes me feel like I can bring out parts of myself that I’ve been hiding and that I didn’t know I was hiding. And suddenly it feels so good to show them and to bring them out on a daily basis on multiple times a day that I’m in prayer and to really devote myself to this. I mean, I’m still trying to figure out what that is exactly for myself. But suddenly there’s this part of me that just feels so good to exercise and to practice and to be around these others who are vibrating at this level. And, yeah, I didn’t even come to this place on my own volition. I mean, I chose to agree to go, but I didn’t choose this destination.

I just happened to be on a pilgrimage with a woman friend who had put together this little what do you call it? Like an itinerary. And I said “yes” to the itinerary. I said “yes” to her. I said “yes” to my intuition saying yes to her. But I did not plan on coming to this monastery, and I haven’t been totally aware of my own connection with Tibetan Buddhism or Buddhism in itself. And here I am, suddenly just finding this massive piece of myself in this unexpected way. A massive unexpected way.

I’m so glad you said what you shared, because, number one, there’s something to really emphasize Andrea for yourself and for the benefit of everybody else as well. And that is, I hope everyone heard it. She said “yes” how many times? Like five times? To the itinerary, to the opportunity. Yes to life. I mean, all of this is yes to the flow, right? The universal flow to the energy. So when we are saying yes or asking, which is the same thing as saying yes, we are participating. And I want to share that, because that’s how and I’m putting that in air quotes as well, how we access certain kinds of energies. So I will share or reflect that this is not even close to accidental, but divine in nature, where there’s some part of Andrea that has wanted to tap into this very specific kind of energy in this exact kind. Of way as a means to reflect back some things, to help her understand herself personally and to perhaps learn how to engage in this kind of energy unless you learn that receiving of it and of course, expressing it meaning or offering that energy.

And that’s why I talked about the different kinds of energy in terms of healing energy, kundalini, sexual focus, energy of duality when I say that think male energy versus female energy. But this is different. Meaning this is a category all by itself in terms of we’re really just becoming aware in the most general sense. But then we’re going to dive down into some very specific things of the energies that are around us that are not just kind of clues, they’re significant clues as we would leave ourself a hint in the next life of a state of remembrance. That’s what we do oftentimes with energetic experiences that will create an experience with an intention to say hey, do you remember this part of who you are? And you Andrea, saying yes to that part is very beautiful. And of course, as everyone knows, Andrea is an adult. And I will definitely share with hopefully your comfort, Andrea, that as you continue to mature as an adult that you are, that that part of you may not become anything less than what it is. Even more significant, meaning the little girl, the childlike pieces, the innocence that continues to be fostered even though you are choosing to mature from a physical perspective.

And this is something really to be said. And this kind of energy, by the way, tapping into just a general energy like that of nature has an energy. We speak of the Earth having a tone. And Andrea used the term frequency, which is very interesting because of course all energies does have a frequency and most people don’t know that energies don’t ever stop. And most people think of it an energy like putting gas in the tank and that energizes the car to be able to drive down the road. Energy, it’s a transference. It’s something that’s always in flow from one form to another. And it’s not something that we can stop or categorize we do in science because it helps the intellectual mind to understand or appreciate how electricity flows. But the reality is it’s always going, it’s always in the flow. And I’m using electricity as a little bit of analogy because it’s all around us. But think of ourselves as humankind. We didn’t know that once upon a time that we didn’t have any concept of energy, number one, and let alone electricity. And yet it’s around us. Even if we didn’t have power stations to make electricy, that we use when we put a plug into the wall with, et cetera, et cetera, it’s always been here.

Now, that’s part of what we want to get back in touch with because the more that we choose to engage in that kind of awareness, it definitely takes its places. So I’m underlining Andrea’s passion for life, which is totally Andrea to say yes to the invitations of the universe and yes to her own higher self, to perhaps an invitation that maybe she didn’t even know that was going on until she got there. Thank you for sharing that.

Yeah, and I guess for some reason I feel like sharing this part know. Initially, the reason why I went to Nepal is because I was very aware that one thing that I had been missing in my life is grounding. And of all the places that I felt called to go on the Earth, the Himalayas were something that had always just been so majestic and so just beyond comprehension and fascinating. And there was an attraction there, basically. So when I look at it now, I definitely feel like I was being called by the Himalayas because I wanted to learn from them how to ground myself.

Absolutely fascinating. To me.

What I think is funny is that at that time and I think when I look back at this whole journey in my interrelation with different places and learning how to feel energies locally, wherever I am is that in the beginning, when I’m still building sensitivity to feel. It felt like first I had to go to the things that were what I felt to be the strongest energy givers so that I could begin to feel little. And I think it’s funny to me that I went to the Himalayas because, wow, for me, those are just such a giant, energetic stronghold of the Earth. I had to go all the way over there just to begin to be like, this is real. There is energy here, and it is teaching me something.

Well, I think that’s incredibly insightful. Meaning we have given scores of retreats in Hawaii as an energy hub, if I could use that term. And I’ve always been very transparent about that. And also in Sedona, many times have we given retreats there as well, because it’s a portal of energy. Again, a different kind. When I say different kind, different kind in Hawaii versus Sedona. And while I’ve never been to the Himalayas, interestingly enough, and I’m not a hiker, meaning I’m not a mountain climber. I do hike, but know, without ropes or Mount Everest or anything like that. But I’ve always been fascinated by that area, and I’ve watched and read countless books on mountaineering. And I’m just wondering now, kind of out loud with you, Andrea, that I’m wondering if that has to do with what you’re talking about, that I’m drawn to the mountain and not necessarily the climbers experience as much as the mountain. And I actually feel emotional about that and then speaking to you or kind of tapping into that, because I didn’t realize that until this moment that there is something very profound, and I’m an air sign by my astrological birth, and I, too, have to have grounding.

Meaning if I’m not grounded, I am really imbalanced as a person, and we’re talking about energy, right? So if I’m in an environmental space that is really airy, it’s very fun for me. I mean, I get very excited about that. But then if I’m not properly grounded and once since I get in trouble, I feel my body feel really I want to describe it like I’m getting sick. And that’s not true, but it feels really uncomfortable. And not everybody has this or has this problem or this issue or the sensitivity, but when I ground it’s, like, oh, yes, I feel complete. And that’s part of the duality that I’m taking the airness within me or the ability to tap into that to ground. So going to a place like the Himalayas, Andrea, and experiencing that firsthand, maybe that’s why I’m emotional, just tapping into you again, thinking about you being there. I just feel that, and it just feels how do you describe it? I want to use the words at home. It just feels like at home, that there’s just an energetic balance there that perhaps isn’t it’s everywhere in the world, why we can create that anywhere we want.

But there may be. There are, and we know that there are. That you going to one of the strongest places on Earth. To engage with this energy as a means to awaken or to become aware of how well you can receive is cool. So I kind of think of, like, maybe you went to a Rolling Stones concert in Tibet to turn up the amplification system so that you can really feel the energy in that geographic area with the people as a means to create, balance and resonate some pieces within you that are certainly grounding and perhaps very instrumental to what you’re doing and what you’re creating in this life.

That’s nice to hear, but yeah, talking about it is taking me back know, on the way flying into Kathmandu, into Nepal for the first time, I happened just to be flying from the right direction where we flew by Mount Everest. And suddenly I’m on the plane and the Captain goes, “if you’ll look to your right, you can see Mount Everest.” And I just remember just totally being totally shocked by the sight of it and also tearful, because for me, what it means is, yeah, I like hearing you speak about it Weston and then feeling it again. It’s like, for me, what I was hoping to experience was my dream of experiencing grounding, my dream of being able to experience the majestic beauty of what I imagined the Himalayas might feel like. I was hoping that I would find that there and a bit nervous that I might not that I might not be able to feel it, that I might not be moved by it.

Right.

But when I got there, it took time, and it took prayer, where I was continuing asking for this connection with the land, which is a practice that I’ve been trying to cultivate for myself. So I actually have to go choose to go on this as a four day trek around the Annapurna Mountain range. Okay. Which, by the way, Annapurna in local language means full of food. And when I heard them say that, yeah, full of food, because food grows well around the valley, basically, I think, is what I’ve been told. But when I hear that, what I hear is abundance.

That makes sense.

Yeah. I went to go walk around this area of abundance of the world, and while I was walking, I was asking mountain for connection with myself, with the land, with the water, with rocks, with the wind. And I was asking for help, and I was asking the Earth to help me listen, help me connect. And over time, day by day, slowly, I could start to feel different things. And I think I just …

I just have to ask real quick. Is that something that you’ve always done? Meaning, from childhood?

I don’t have memories of it.

You do or don’t?

Do not? No.

Okay.

Do you think it’s something I’ve always done?

Yes, I do. I know it is.

Really?

Knowing it. The reason I’m saying that is because I’m reflecting on my own self for the moment. We’re kind of two kids in a little canoe here, sharing with everybody. But the asking, I’ve always done that. Meaning when I go to go outside and hike or walk or do anything or get in the ocean, really, my intention is to become at one with whatever thing I’m doing. I went and climbed a mountain yesterday, overlooked a little beautiful little Bay Area in the central coast of California, and yet my intention is to be at one with literally everything. I mean, the ground, the birds, the environment, everything. And of course, when we were describing this, I’m talking about energy. I want to be one with that energy. And of course, that energy for me in that space, as you were describing, is very grounding, something that’s very healthy for me, as I described. But this asking that you’re talking about, oh, my gosh, I do that all the time. Now, I’m not suggesting I’m absolutely sharing, and hopefully not with anything, but just confirmation that your choice to ask is something that’s natural, meaning something that’s always been there, and if it’s been developed or coming about as newer to your conscious mind, great.

But you having that understanding is pretty cool. And you referenced something else, too, that I want to kind of highlight, but I want to continue hearing what you have to share because I’m so fascinated by this, that you described coming into the area and that you needed a little bit of time. And I just made a note in my head that that’s like coming to an area and getting used to the area. Sometimes we do that when we travel from a different time zone. Right. It takes us a minute to get out of the jet lag, to get used to that area. And yet is that it? Meaning, is that what we’re adjusting to? Are we tuning into the area? Do we need time to do that? And sometimes we do. Sometimes an area such as the Himalayas may take a minute for you to get used to the reason why is because it’s thumping or vibrating or has its frequency to, in essence, invite you. I’ll use the terms deeper to a deeper understanding or an inner wisdom, a connection, of course, and of course, not necessarily just to that part of the world, geographically speaking, meaning it could take you outside of this realm, outside of this universe, quite literally.

And this is why these things, in my opinion, could be and are done. But so you being acclimating to the area is an interesting term because I know a lot of times when people come to Sedona, they need to acclimate, or Hawaii, they need to acclimate. It takes them a little while to get used to the energy. And you know what? That’s why they come. Now, when I’m teaching in that kind of environment, I’ve been very transparent about this for years. I’m using that energy, meaning that local energy, if you will, to work with me together so that we have this individual and collective experience. Now, whether we’re doing a retreat or we’re on a pilgrimage of our own, these opportunities are before us. But this acclamation is done back to something that, Andre, you said, and it’s very natural for you, but not for everybody. You’re saying yes to it. You’re literally asking to be connected. And that will take you into further depth of connection, meaning it will allow you to become used to that frequency or that environment that much quicker. And when you do, this is a part I’m most anxious to hear from Andrea.

I’m interested in how you feel, what’s happening in that period of when you first come in versus, let’s say, day three or day four and what’s happening after that. And, man, anything you can describe there, Andrea, is something that we’re all leaning into.

You know, there’s a lot of nervous energy, a lot of nervous energy. I had excitement, fear about what I was going to find. So I think definitely in the first date, and my mind was spinning too, and I was really desperate for answers. So my self talk was like, very much trying to figure out and ask questions within my own head when I’m on the trek for the first few days. So I feel like the first two days, just tiring myself out, listening to my own inner monologue talk my ear off. Exhaustion was a good first phase of release, just like listening to my thoughts until I couldn’t anymore and tiring my body out until it’s feeling more loose. A huge, amazing thing of going on a trek into the mountains is that your own rhythm starts to move with the rhythm of nature. Just submerging yourself in nature like that, I think, is actually a faster way of acclimating to a place rather than a city. Because I was going to bed when the sun went down and I was waking up when the sun rose and it’s so quiet at night, there’s nothing there.

So I felt like, in retrospect, I was sinking into my environment more quickly. But to be honest, when I was experiencing it, I think one, two, three days, I think there were moments when I was like, I haven’t really had any big insights. What are those going to come, right? And I think it was on day four when I had tired myself out in all these different ways that the insights just hit. Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.

Oh, really? It started just happening all at one time?

Yeah. This conversation I’ve been having in the back of my head since day one started suddenly to have answers. And I started to feel these kind of openings in my body, openings in myself, even at this time in my life of particular. So much going on, particular tension and anxiety about excitement, you know, new energy hitting old energy. I was emotional eating in the week before, going on this trip, and so I wasn’t feeling that good in my body when I arrived, basically. And on day four, I did feel a big change. I had worked through some of those anxieties with all the walking by day, you know, physically, there was an opening on a lot of different levels.

There were these when you described the insight, Andrea anything specific or just as an example of something that just availed itself or opened up to, you know.

The other day I opened up my journal.

I’m glad you mentioned that word becauseI want to talk about that in a minute.Journaling is a really important part to capture these things that we’re going through because they’re very important to us. So, yeah, you opened your journal. What happened?

Totally. And I’ve had such a big lesson from you about my journaling and finding my own voice. Weston because you were encouraging me to journal so much, and then you’re encouraging me to go back and read what I’d written, which I wouldn’t dare do at the time without your nod. And I went back and I read my journal and I was like, Whoa, that’s kind of brilliant, right? Yeah. And I started to hear my own voice that I hadn’t heard before. When I looked back and took a moment to see these micro thoughts I’m having during the day, like, wow, there’s something know.

Hey, everybody. I thought this would be a perfect moment to take a quick pause with the interview that we’re having with Andrea to talk about a different kind of journaling. I’ve just released a new course called The Secrets of Free Writing. In it, I am teaching how to meditate with a pen(tm). And I’m sharing this because it’s been a passion of mine from the very beginning. This has been the thing, the tool, the spiritual way, if you will, or the means in which I became aware and without this tool. It’s really difficult to get a hold of important ideas or spiritual insight. And automatic writing has given me as it will give you that direct access in written form. When you automatic write, you can actually measure your own growth, of course, review it and dig down into your ideas and, of course, the spiritual messages that come forth consistently. You’re about to hear something Andrea is going to share in just a moment that happened for her where she read something that she had written down before, and it meant something very, very meaningful to her. Please take a moment to check out secrets of your writing on my website at https://westonjolly.com/the-secrets-of-freewriting/ And now we’ll get back to the interview with Andrea.

I realize now one of my intentions coming on that trek was working. I was trying to figure out why I keep having or was having these issues of not feeling good in myself, not feeling worthy of all these wonderful gifts that I’ve been born into, whether it’s skill sets or family situation privileges. For some reason, with all the other issues that I’ve had, this one seems to be core, one that dominates all the others. And I was ruminating on this during the walk. And so suddenly, on day four, I’m like, I have this while I’m journaling, excitedly looking out the window, this amazing peak. I was looking out at this mountain called fishtail. That’s the English word for it. It’s a sacred mountain. And by the way, in Nepal, the mountains are so much bigger than anywhere in the of any of the other peaks in the world were in Nepal, they might not be considered mountains, because they would just consider them hills. In Nepal, that’s how big the mountains are there. Like they’re isn’t that crazy? Yeah, that is totally they literally don’t name what would be mountain here. They just would call it a hill and would not give it a name.

It’s not worthy of a name.

Yeah, that’s the scale we’re talking about. These giants, these titans. Anyway, I’m out. I’m looking at this. A quick side note, there’s this sacred mountain called fishtail, and the reason why it’s sacred is because people have tried to climb it in the past but have been unable to. Either they have failed or they’ve died, or they’ve experienced these crazy things where they’ve climbed up to, like, base camp two, and when they wake up in the morning, they find themselves at base camp. One small hint of what’s happening. These are the stories I heard. And so, officially, the government decided that it was a sacred mountain that wasn’t meant to be climbed, and so no one can climb it. I love that.

That is cool. Oh, that’s so interesting. Extremely interesting.

Yeah. I love that the government acknowledges the sacredness of it and these sacred acts. I love that that’s so much a part of the Nepalese culture that can be seen. It feels so good to hear that to me.

Yeah.

Okay, so I’m journaling and what I decide is that I’ve spent my life trying to be something else than what I am. And I realized on my walk is that that was actually a futile effort, that I could never be anything but what I am and that it wasn’t worth my time trying to be anything else. And this was my big epiphany. Why am I trying to be something that is literally impossible to happen? I was literally made like this. I could try all I want, I could use all the money in the world, I could get a thousand people’s help, and I will never, ever be able to be anything but what I have been born as.

Right?

That was step one. The second step was and I have been born this way on purpose and I have been divinely given this body with all the attributes that it has. And this being that I have been incarnated into at this moment, I’ve been gifted all of that divinely, and in fact, all that I am is this divine gift. And that is something that has been sacredly given to me. And I realized that for me the most. So side note, what I’ve already realized at this point in my life when I’m on this venture is that sacredness is something that means something so much to me. And I know that sacredness is my guiding light somehow. That much I had gained already. So on this walk, I realized that I have been in fact, divinely given all the parts of myself which, side note, I have been trying to change since day one. And that was actually dishonoring the sacred act of what I am already. And I realized that the most sacred act, which again, for me is exactly what I’m trying to do, is honoring all that I already am. And I asked myself, how do I honor everything that I am?

And my answer to that was I nurture myself. And I explore this being that I am and try to understand this being that I’ve been gifted, which is myself in all the ways I can. And that’s how I honor this gift, this gift of all these attributes and gifts of this family, the gifts of where I live. And then I sorry, this is long, but step two, so I learn about her, I nurture her. Step two is then sharing her gifts, sharing and expressing her voice with the world. And that was my big epiphany.

Andre I’m deeply touched by that because I can’t tell you how many times a day that where I sit when people come and present themselves with a question and they’ll ask a question such as, “How do I become myself?” Which in one sense, from an intellectual perspective is a ridiculous question, but it’s not because we are all conditioned beings. We’ve come into this realm and we’re conditioned to become what the world thinks a girl should be or act like and be the different cultures that we grow up in. And as a part of this path or this journey into self awareness, you realize how futile it is to give energy to anything else than being your true self. And yet we negotiate with our minds. Is that okay? Is this something that my mom or dad would like or my friends or whomever? And ultimately, what you’re hearing is, of course, egoic thought trying to keep you, shall we say, back into that branded image or that that presence of who you think you should be. And I use that language very specifically. And when we take the space or the I want to use the word time because it’s relevant to this side of the fence, so to speak, but it’s not real.

But when we take the space to go into ourselves and to really appreciate the Divinity of why we’ve come into this embodiment and to… I love that word, your word, in terms of sacred, because it’s not just a word. It has a depth of meaning to it. It has energy with it. And when we revere our self and our origins and who we are as creators. And to put that back in motion to the potential of what we can exhibit or express or just receive in this realm, in this embodiment, it’s without question, and this is certainly my opinion most beautiful gifts that you could ever give yourself, bar none. Again, that energy towards that reaps rewards that I don’t think people really understand. And I feel so emotional about that. Because my feeling is if everyone did have that understanding of what it would mean to realize oneself in this realm and to put just a tiny bit of that in play let. Alone, perhaps abandon the pieces and the parts of who. And we thought we were appreciating where we’ve come from in terms of the stories, et cetera. But not being attached to them any longer gives us permission to go beyond.

And that going beyond is a very personal journey. But then there’s similarities, and this is the patterns that we see with one another. And this is why I’m so grateful to you, Andre, for you to be in my life, number one. And two, to be sharing this space with everyone, because we can relate to that. We can feel that that we too, want to give ourselves individual permission to stop trying to be somebody that we’re not. And I think that being done at an earlier age versus an older age is something special, something to put a light on. And I put that light on you, Andrea, because of your age being a young woman and having that wisdom or that understanding which is not taught meaning. It’s something that’s innate, and it’s something that comes forth in you, of course, just being you, which is always the truth with all of us when we choose to exhibit or to express that desire, that connection. And this path, if you want to call it that, this energetic path of giving ourselves permission to be at one within ourselves and to literally allow that to come out again, like I said, it’s everything.

And Andre, I wanted to kind of circle the journaling thing because obviously I’ve been automatic writing for my entire experience, and there’s a difference between that and free writing and certainly just journaling. But even just capturing what is going on spiritually or dream state or just absence of just thoughts, which is, to me, a journaling aspect, has unbelievable value. And what you have shared I mean, I’m the pleasure of so much of what you have exhibited and I have to share with you, I feel extremely abundant about that. But the channeling that you’ve done and do, and whether it’s through prayers or toning or other ceremonies that you’ve participated in, that insight to capture that in a journaling like form has value beyond your imagination. And the reason I say that is because it enables you to actually touch or feel the energetic wisdom from something that comes beyond the person of Andrea or the person of Weston. And that’s why, Andrea, when you went back and reread some of your journaling, you could recognize and feel the profoundness in what was being exhibited. And there’s something extremely humbling about that. To know that it came from your hand, number one.

And two, to also recognize that it’s not from you, the person, or it’s not limited to that. And that’s just something incredible. And yet, whether we paint or we draw or we capture this via journaling or automatic writing or however what those forms are, they are all, in one sense, one dimensional means of trying to catch something that is multidimensional. And I want to be fair with that. But still it has tremendous value. Because as we share that with one another, just in terms of this dialogue or this interview, if you will, with one another, we create an opportunity to remember and to come back to that, to perhaps connect again in this kind of way and to give ourselves permission to say, yeah, I’m going to leave behind my artificial self or my lower self or my pretended self to be who I am. And it sounds funny to say this, but it takes a lot of courage to do that. And I say courage because the mind that will die when your physical body dies will tell you that that’s dangerous, that that would take you in a direction that would have you maybe cut off from all society in the world at large.

And yet the choice to be ourselves is the biggest gift that we give one another, we give ourselves first, and then the sharing with this. And I’m talking about right down to the mean, there’s an engagement, there’s a state of oneness in that space as well. So don’t miss the idea that when we make that kind of choice, that it has this profound effect and it’s not just in this realm. And when we start to experiment or play or again, as Andrea has been suggesting, ask questions or put desired attention in that space, you’ll find yourself interacting in ways that are you that go beyond perhaps the physical presence of that’s. I don’t know. I’m just touched in my soul, Andrea, for you to share those very simple steps which you have such a gift of doing, to taking something that might be quite complex and just reducing it to a couple steps and sharing that in a way that’s very profound. So please allow me to bow my head in honor of you here.

Thank you. Weston it’s awfully nice to hear your reflections. Big time.

I’m moved, truly. I know we’ve gone a little bit beyond what our intended time was, but Andrea, with your permission, I would love to ask you back to perhaps do some more sharing and dialoguing in this forum. And I just want to heartfeltly you touch my heart. And I know that others who open up their heart that you’ll have that same profound effect upon them as well. And so if you don’t know Andrea, I welcome you the opportunity to get to know her here and perhaps in other places it will take place as she continues to, but very, very grateful. So thank you for your presence.

Likewise. Weston thank you so much. This is really fun.

It is. So unless you think differently, we are doing this again. I’ll just make you commit right now.

It only takes a few minutes.  Your comments and review truly assist others in becoming a part of our spiritual community.

My Story

Not everyone can truly see.  But for those who can, it’s likely that somebody may attack you because they fear your spiritual gifts.

Why is that you are heckled or harassed for seeing the unseen things?  Is this what being spiritual is all about?  Being hassled? Getting teased or taking flak?

It’s agreed, not everyone can see “dead people” and not everyone wants too.  But is there is no reason you need to feel inadequate for seeing, or tapping into, the unseen things.

Transcription: Unseen things, seen by people who catch flak or shit for seeing them.

[50.890]
Unseen things seen by people who catch shit for seeing them. Have you ever seen a ghost? Maybe an Angel? Have you ever flown in your dreams? What about having premonitions that come true? To what degree do you really believe in magic or the metaphysical? And most importantly, how ready are you to share with others the things that you clairvoyantly see?  Today, I want to focus on you and those like us who catch shit for seeing things that on some level you’re not supposed to see. It’s a problem. It really is. Often people seeing unseen things catch shit for seeing them think that they’re crazy. I help a lot of people get in touch with their own spirituality.

[01:44.580]
I have for over two and half decades. Believe me, you don’t stand in front of the room speaking, giving presentations and retreats as a spiritual channel without the potential to catch flack. Evidently, it’s a part of human nature. In this podcast, I want to address that you’re not crazy if you’re seeing shit. There it is again. The second time or maybe the third time that I’ve used that word. And to be fair, you should be warned I’m going to use it again and again, not as a curse word, but to accentuate the color or the essence of this feeling. I sincerely hope that you’re not offended by my use of the word, but being spiritual isn’t like trying to be liked or trying to fit in, as you’ll soon see.

[02:28.830]
As an example, let me share with you this true account. I was boarding a plane in the last leg of having given many speaking engagements. I was flying home. It had been almost a week straight of speaking, visiting several Southern California cities, and I was channeling for scores and scores to people. Frankly, I was just tired. The flight was from Burbank to Phoenix, a short hop of about an hour.

[02:53.700]
All I wanted was a comfortable seat, an aisle seat, my favorite, and to sit quietly, peacefully, and frankly, not to speak to anybody. As soon as I boarded the plane, I knew I had a problem because there were people everywhere. The plane was busy, as the Hollywood freeway. I was wearing really dark sunglasses not really to hide, but just to discourage anyone from wanting to engage. I was really that tired. The plane was quickly filling, and I begrugingly asked if I could sit in the middle seat between this large athletic guy and an older woman. The dude really didn’t say anything beyond standing up and granting me passage, while also communicating non-verbaly that he too would have preferred to keep his middle seat free. I nodded without necessarily creating eye contact, and I scooted in, sat down in the middle seat, took a breath. Then the woman who was looking out the window then noticed and saw me and said, “Hello.” I was tired, but I didn’t want to be rude, so I said, “Hello” back, but not necessarily in a voice tone that would encourage continued conversation.

[04:07.020]
My desire to not talk to anybody wasn’t necessarily going to plan. The woman near the window asked me the inevitable, “What do you do?” She asked. I sat back in my tiny seat, slumped back as much as I could with my Ray-Bans facing forward and said rather loudly, “I see and talk to dead people.” The statement evidently caught the attention of the dude to my right. He turned a little towards me, curiously now listening in. Truthfully, my response probably caught the attention of several rows of people, as I might have spoken a little too loud, like I was still speaking to an audience in front of the room. The lady sat near to the window, turned away. My response seemed to have worked as she was looking outside, confused, a little disjointed about my being able to talk to dead people. And just as I was about to shut my eyes, she started laughing. She turned to me and she said, “You’re kidding, right?” You’re kidding. I said, “No, I’m not. I do talk to dead people. I’ve been speaking in San Diego, Carlsbad, Manhattan Beach, Malibu, and Hollywood. And now I’m on my way home after having given several presentations and personal sessions.”

[05:22.250]
Without really thinking, the woman said emphatically, “I don’t believe in that.” I totally said, but hopefully not too rudely. “Ma’am, I’m not asking for your approval. You asked me what I do, and I told you.” She then turned back to the window, maybe hoping for some solace there. I was thinking, well, maybe, just maybe my sharp tongue and my Ray-Bans would prevent any further dialog. It didn’t. She turned again toward me like she was now trying to convince me that I couldn’t do what I do and that she needed to let me know.

[05:56.700]
Can you feel me?

[05:59.870]
Unseen things, seen by people who catch shit for seeing them. I didn’t do anything. I wasn’t coming on to the plane wearing some big, bold T-shirt that said, Weston Jolly, the world’s greatest, Clairavoyant and Clairaudient of the metaphysical world. I was just a clean cut guy wearing sunglasses, who wanted to get home after a long trip. Have I got your attention? There may be a part of you that wants to address all of this cool metaphysical, seeing Angels and talking to dead people stuff, but only if you don’t get hurt.

[06:34.870]
Yes, I did use the word *hurt*. And if you’re now aware that you’re trying not to get hurt, it makes perfect sense why you spend so much time trying to protect yourself. In this podcast, I want to address that fear within you, the one that keeps you from seeing the unseen stuff that you say that you want to see. How do I know? I can’t tell you the number of people who have told me that they wish that they have my gifts. I really can’t tell you how many. And if you’re interested in expanding your gifts, then I’m going to share with you a little secret. Well, it’s not a secret because I want you to know. If you really want to see, hear and feel spiritual stuff beyond, I’ll teach you. If you don’t want, then you better turn this shit off really quick. I hope you don’t, because I have a great deal to share with you on all levels: spiritually, emotionally, and, of course, physically as well. So how is it that seeing and listening to dead people could create such response from someone sitting next to me in a plane? It’s easy.

[07:41.380]
My abilities somehow scared her. She was frightened, and thus her reaction was one of trying to protect herself. Here’s the deal, even though that you’re here and listening, there’s some part of you too, that wonders if tapping into places unseen is *safe*. I know that some part of you knows that, but then maybe there’s another part of you that doesn’t. I’m a big fan in tuning into the Christ energy. I am. And I’m sharing this not to appease you if this is your faith, because in integrity I’m able, and I do, tap into all kinds of other Ascended Masters, and I equally enjoy doing so. Truth is, I love it all. So why would I ever deny myself. Why would I deny my being a professional, psychic, medium and spiritual channel of over 25 years? Well, I have. I’m glad that you laughed at my boldest and telling a stranger that I speak to dead people.

It’s not always easy being different or having gifts, intuitive, psychic, or otherwise, because, well, sometimes you’re treated like an outcast.

This is the whole point. Did you come here to fit in and to be, well, like everybody else?

[08:59.800]
How can you change the world this way? Even if you’re listening to this podcast thinking that you don’t have, well, any special metaphysical gifts, consider this. Physically, scientists throughout history have been making endless contributions to change our world by seeing the unseen things. Much of the time, catching shit for it. So even if you’re approaching the subject from a purely physical perspective, why would anyone proposing a theorem have to take shit for it?

[09:33.120]
Consider this theorem, “Does the inertia of the body depend upon its energy content?“

Do you recognize the proposal?

It’s important. So let me give you a couple of hints. As your first hint. This idea, does the inertia of a body depend upon its energy content? Well… it was presented a century ago. And as a second hint, this weird teenager dreamed of seeing unseen things while chasing a beam of light. Sounds like this individual could be a little high or something, right? Let me give you one more clue and then I’m going to share a quick message about a new spiritual online course that I know that you’re going to want to join.

[10:23.830]
Okay, here’s the third clue and the last one before we listen to our special message. The person who said this over a hundred years ago said, “It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge.” Okay, you can be thinking about your answer while I share with you this quick message about the secrets of Free Writing, and then I’ll give you the answer as soon as we come back.

[10:50.740]

[11:40.000]
Okay, what’s the answer to the question? Beginning at 16 years of age, this young man thought about traveling with light and later proposed his seeing the unseen things in a paper called, “Does the Inertia of a Body Depend upon its energy content?“

[11:55.270]
The date of this report of the unseen things was 1905, and the person that proposed this thought everyone knows by the simple formula E equals M C squared. That’s right! Albert Einstein put forth one of the most important discoveries on the planet. Surely he must have been immediately recognized and celebrated, right? Not necessarily. Not everyone embraced his seeing shit, and certainly his method of chasing light through space, which everyone now calls elegantly a thought experiment. Interesting language to make it sound so scientific.

[12:37.790]
But what if it was said that Einstein went out of body to chase a light beam through space? Wouldn’t that be accurate too? My point is we can see the non-acceptance, even in the way Einstein came up with the theory E equals M C squared. And did you know that this formula, E equals M C squared, wasn’t scientifically or mathematically proven until 103 years later? So here you are, wanting to be more spiritual and all, and yet you might be faced with denial, disbelief, anger, and maybe even hatred for seeing the unseen things. In essence, you may be catching shit for seeing things that are unseen by people who can’t see them. You’re going to ask why people will give you shit for seeing, knowing or feeling unseen things that they can’t see.

[13:27.660]
So let’s appease this part of you and let’s drop a few reasons why this happens. I’m just going to list a few.

1.) People are usually uncomfortable with what they think that they know. What they don’t know often creates fear.

2.) Disbelief comes in many forms, ultimately with something like, *If I can’t see it, then you can’t see it.*

3.) Then, it can even get further escalated to an angry rebuttal like, Prove it. Personal character is really often attacked with an intention to pressure you to doubt or even deny what you’ve seen. It would seem that those who can’t see the unseen things want you also not to see them. This is done, of course, so that you stop expressing them.

4.) Another point or another reason why is complete and utter fear of the unknown. Even in my choice to facilitate others, how many times have I heard someone come to me in a personal session and say, I don’t want to see something bad.

5.) Another reason might be if you’re seeing something prophetic, it’s really *scary* because you can see the unseen things of the future. And if you’re seeing something in the past, an event, or even communicating with the dead, there’s a lot of room for disbelief and denial.

[14:54.740]
Clearly, there are a lot of things that could be added to the list as to why people don’t want you to see, but nothing is greater than this one. Unseen things seen by people who catch shit for seeing them starts with you. You are the ultimate naysayer to your spiritual gifts. If you all come to my next Hawaii Retreat, then you’re going to find yourself surrounded by the most diverse and loving people that you could imagine. And in this environment, you’re going to find yourself feeling super comfortable and relaxed and seeing all the unknown things that you want to be seeing, right? But what happens when you’re in an environment that isn’t so supportive? Unseen things seen by people who catch shit for seeing them isn’t about having to take flack for seeing unseen things. No, not at all. I’m only sharing this with you because it’s a natural part of your own biology, and there’s a part of you that would want to deny it. Maybe you’ve been taking crap all of your life for seeing things that other people just can’t seem to see. Odds are great that you’re trying to fit in with your family, your school, community, or even with your personal relationships, that you’ve taken flack for things that you observe that others don’t.

[16:12.850]
I help a lot of people who wonder if they’re crazy, balanced, got both oars in the water because of their spiritual gifts. So let’s take a quick deep dive into why your own mind, body is working against you. Here we go. Have you ever experienced a miracle? Can you prove it?

[16:35.290]
Here’s one for you. In Scottsdale, I was very frustrated and upset about a house remodel that we were working on. There was one part of it that was holding us up, and I couldn’t get a sheet metal fabricator to make the AC ducting quickly enough and was holding up the whole project and was costing us money. Actually, I was standing out in the backyard frustrated, mad with the company and, of course, the delay. At that moment, a bird flew onto the wooden fence directly in front of me. I could feel the bird. To be honest, I could feel and see the energy of the bird when it flew down to the fence like a big swish of paint had been put on a large white canvas when the bird landed. You couldn’t miss it. I knew the bird had a spiritual message for me, but I was in no mood…

[17:22.550]
After a beat, I asked, Do you have a message for me?
The bird said, “Yes.“

In a childish, sarcastic tone, I said, “Well, if that’s true, come closer to me and tell me.” No sooner than I said this within myself, the bird flew from the wooden fence and landed about an inch or two from my feet. He cocked his head, looked straight at me with one eye and said, “Is this close enough?” The message of encouragement was delivered, and I was really humbled to be a part of the process yet again. Right after the bird flew off, having delivered a rather long and heartfelt message that was truly inspirational beyond my issue with the build on, I was actually embarrassed that I had been so snooty. If you were to ask me in this moment, could I prove to you what I physically saw? I can’t. If a video did record the event, it wouldn’t be able to record the sound. Why? Because there wasn’t any physical sound, which makes the whole scene incomplete. So if a video recorder did record the event, all you’d see is a strange bird flying from the fence to my feet and staying there for quite a while.

[18:40.790]
Could I be setting myself up to take flack by sharing this true event? Ask me if I care? I really don’t. What I mean is I’m happy to take a polygraph for you, but in the end, you still get to deny my seeing and hearing the unseen things. This is key. What I do want to put your attention on is this singular key. The point is that somewhere in each of us we can deny, reject, call crazy that which is.

[19:11.750]
Within minutes, after the bird having landed at my feet from the fence and delivering its rather divine metaphysical message, exactly as I described, my mind started tearing apart that I hadn’t really seen or had heard the unseen. My internal propaganda machine was in full force. And this reminds me of real witnesses who were interviewed only minutes after John F. Kennedy’s assassination. These people authoritatively challenged these witnesses that you did not see what they saw, and they did not hear what they heard. Now, mind you, if you were physically standing at the parade and you saw what you saw, seeing JFK and his wife, how could it be possible for you to not hear or to not see what you saw?

[20:01.790]
This is what I want to highlight in Unseen Things, seen by people who catch shit for seeing them. Like I said, this happens on a biological level. The Shell, or the ego, within you denies the very existence of anything extraordinary. This means the physical as much as it does the spiritual. Anything that this illusionary part of you that it doesn’t control or understand, the propaganda machine within you will deny it all. This means that you’re going to catch flack for seeing the unseen things. It’s not a maybe. It’s an absolute. The catch is not giving this noise any consideration. I told you that I don’t care if you believe what I shared about the bird on the fence and its message. And in turn, I don’t care what my shell or ego has to say about it either. This can be stated eloquently in the following channeling. But before I share it with you, remember what I said earlier about a young boy chasing light into space, asking for illumination from the Universe. He got it. He shared it. A hundred and three years later, did Einstein’s E equals M C squared get formally proven?

[21:24.140]
Let me also share with you that Einstein didn’t need the physical proof that came way after his death. This desire to ride the light created answers to his questions. Think about the light and more, as I now share with you the channeling and conclusion of the means in which decisions, guidance and direction is offered to those who aren’t really paying that much attention.

Too often they are called upon to be bodyguards, offering only protection. If it could only be understood that a spirit does not need to be protected, because what could possibly happen to a spirit in its eternal form? The answer is nothing. So for spiritual forms, Angels to be called upon to protect is age old in its consideration and choice, but it’s without merit in terms of their potential. Angels are here to serve and to communicate and guide. As we are communicating through the One that gives this dialog voice. We are one with all. To understand this is to enable yourselves beyond the need to be constantly protected. Like children that need the guidance and protection of a watchful parent, we are here, but not solely for this purpose.

[22:47.960]
We wish to share. We wish to be released from the predominant role as the protector. We wish to illuminate with endless knowledge, happiness, peace, joy, and abundance. These things are not beliefs, but truth that you, as in you, the individual listening, can hear, but most importantly, feel our presence. For you to deny us is to deny yourselves. We understand the nature of your perceived separation, for we have created it not necessarily as an obstacle, but as a means for you to enjoy the perception of an individual experience. As you come to understand yourself, you will notice the inconsistencies in trying to remain separate. In essence, you’ll feel again, by design, the imbalance of your separated state. Any state of separation is made through free-will-choice. Our point is that you’re always empowered. Free-will-choice is offered as one of our most powerful tools and extended to you complete and utter freedom to choose anything of your desire, again without limits. As you see yourself with the power of free-will-choice, Again, you can exercise your desire in any direction that you choose. To see yourself is the ultimate choice because it allows you the beauty of understanding how and why you’ve been created.

[24:11.570]
Most are only aware that they are the product of their biological parents that created them. And with this nearsightedness, they are limited, limited to the parents and to the lineage of the family that is going only one way, which is backwards in time. This is interesting to notice because, of course, time isn’t real. If time were real, by design or concept, it would have to work in both directions. It most certainly could not be something that would be limited to looking backwards only. For you to see the unseen truth within you and us, it isn’t something that you need to be condemned for. The supposed mysteries of the Earth are explored by seeing these unseen things. Go beyond your traditions, even your own experiences, to enable knowledge. Everything is before you because we hide nothing. You would do well to spend a moment with the fact that nothing is hidden from you. If you think that things have been or are being hidden, it’s because of your free-will-choice to remain separate. If indeed you’re interested in seeing more, you must go beyond the fears that you prosecuted for the things that are revealed to you in this state of openness or consciousness.

[25:32.520]
To believe, is to practice a thought which may or may not have any basis in truth. To exist in truth is to remove the blindness so that you can and do see. As soon as this is chosen, you may be dealt with a blow by the gatekeeper of your perceived identity that this information is invalid, nonsensical, irrational, and therefore, warrants none of your attention. Regarding this internal messaging system, which continually broadcasts its own propaganda that you are to be protected by the author of separation, the ego, or the Shell, then you become entrapped. When you submit to the little mind within, then you are limited, your path is limited, and your experiences are limited. This is done by the shell and the Ego, of course, to garner power of the unlimited connection and to use it predominantly for the sense of self. This is done so frequently and so commonly that almost all of you are familiar with someone who position themselves as powerful versus another who serves the greater whole. There are times whereby those who collaborate with others is seen as heroic. At other times, this conscious contribution of serving the whole is seen as an enemy of the state, as labeled by those of you who wish to direct or control such powers.

[26:56.490]
The self-serving are interested in only harvesting your energy. This is most interesting, that you would disable yourself to the point of being an energetic Source for another. We compliment those of you who called or unified to serve one another, not because of obligation, but because you find a desire to express in this familiar way. As you help one another, you become reminded of a bigger force and how the energy can be directed. Many and human-based organizational structures, desire to place themselves at the top of the pyramid to be seen as the one that is the most powerful. To properly reconstruct your proper sense of self, you must go beyond the individual thought and material-based choices. To engage here is to participate in a place of completion. Is it not complete to be in the presence of the light? Light is extended to you, which is, of course, illumination, which comes in infinite forms, one of which is knowledge. For you to be illuminated by the light, you must come away from the darkness of hiding, no more hiding from your true self, which drives you to become more consciously aware. This is desired. To see yourself more than an individual or a set of cells embodies a person is to disable that which isn’t to that which is.

[28:25.970]
Feel that which has been spoken. Can you not feel the empowerment to work, contribute, and be greater than your own perceived self? Extract from this language the energy that does fall upon you in the same way that all biology is affected by the light. There is so much for you to see. These unseen things are not hidden. They are made apparent in your desire to be aware and to use in your state of openness to remember your true self and your purpose in creating a physical presence. You are not limited to your body, this perception of time, and by those things that you don’t think that you have. Imagine how the world changes instantly upon the understanding that you have everything. If indeed you are able to see these unseen things, then open yourself to see, to have answers provided and given to you in the abundance of all. Rejoice that you’re free to choose anything of your own delight. Be free to experience yourself in the ways that you’ve been hesitant to see because of your free will choice to not see the things unseen. If you choose to participate, to listen, and to watch, we will provide you everything revealing all to you.

[29:50.960]
Yes, it is exceedingly powerful, and we are most interested in what you will do. Will you choose to see the unseen things? Or will you be ashamed to see that which is yours to see, understand, and know? Go beyond your sense of self and realize that we are here to be seen, not as some invisible force, but as one that is seen as clearly as the sun permeates the darkness. It’s your choice to see and become one or remain in the dark.

Transcription: Discover the Secret to Removing Weight

[00:00:50.890] – Weston Jolly

Thank you, everybody, for being here. I just want to introduce a very close friend and someone I’ve known for a very long time. Her name is Lily Gallo. So, Lily joins me today with True Connections with Weston Jolly. And I think that what she has to share in terms of her story in terms of her experiences will be of real interest. Lily, thank you for being here.

Oh, thank you. It’s a pleasure.

Lily, can you give us just a little bit of a background in terms of I know you quite well, but why don’t you share a little bit about where you come from, how we got connected and where we are today?

Yeah. I’ve known you for almost two decades now. We met in Chicago, and it’s funny, because I was a teacher working in Chicago, and on my way to work, I had passed this building and there was a mural painted on the side of the building, and I thought, I wonder what that building is. That’s a cool mural. Maybe one day when I’m not working, I’m going to stop in and see what that building is. So, months and months went by, and I passed this building, and I never had the chance to go in.

And one day, I, for whatever reason, didn’t have to work. And I was passing that building. And I thought, ‘Well, this is the perfect day to go in’. So I went in and it turned out it was a spiritual bookstore. And I thought, ‘Oh, okay.’ I wasn’t really into that kind of thing. I was like, ‘Whatever. Cool.’ I looked around and I bought a little trinket and in the bag where as you’re walking out, they give you the bag for your purchase. And there was a little flyer in there that had workshop announcements.

And I thought, okay, well, cool. If there’s something for less than $50, I’ll go into that workshop and see what this is about. And an announcement that you would be speaking was there. So, I said, ‘Cool- fits my requirements.’ And I went to that event, and I was captured by you and what you were sharing and really, just the energy that you were sharing. I don’t really know what words were said, but as people who know you, Weston, will know, it was the feeling of Weston.

So, at that point, I signed up for a private session, and I was hooked. And so that was, as I said, almost 20 years ago when that happened.

That’s amazing. I’ve known you for all this time and I knew of our personal session, but I don’t recall or didn’t recall the connection in the bookstore. I remember exactly where it was and, of course, that bookstore is no longer there. We’ve evolved a lot. Yeah, there’s been a lot of change there and a lot of change in the world, of course. But, Lily, thank you for that. And certainly, I’m very grateful to have you here. And thank you for the energy that you spoke about because, of course, that’s why I wanted to have you here and share some of your story with everybody else, because I know that there’s been in some ways a physical challenge with just dealing with -sometimes- when we’re dealing with our own selves, our own bodies, there’s a challenge that we carry on weight of other people’s energy, other people’s stuff.

A lot of people don’t know that. I mean, they don’t know that. They know that to one degree, but they don’t necessarily know it from an energetic perspective. And certainly I’ve noticed, of course. And this is why I wanted to share with you as well, where everyone can become aware that you’ve made a very strong physical transformation. Can you talk about that a little bit?

Yes. Ever since I was very young, I have been overweight and sometimes more significantly overweight than other times, but quite overweight. I mean, obese- in the obese category- for a lot of my life, and I no longer am. And so I lost a significant amount of weight. And in doing so, realized that this kind of gives me an excuse to talk about what I’ve learned with people and to share the growth that I’ve had.

That’s tremendous. So, when you say tremendous loss, can you give us kind of a hint without being too personal, but kind of give us an idea of what are we talking? A couple of pounds- 5 pounds, 10 pounds? What are we talking about?

Yeah. So here’s the deal. I don’t know the exact number. And that is with intention, because I feel like when people hear a number, there is a lot that they associate with that number. If I said 5 pounds, people would say, oh, that’s nothing and dismiss it.

Okay.

If I said 500 pounds, people would say, ‘Oh, I can’t even relate to that.’ So, what I will say is it is approximately 100 pounds or so, which is obviously very significant, but intentionally I’m not attached to the number.

Okay. 100 pounds. That’s a tremendous amount. So I’m going to ask this first question right out of the bag. What’s the secret?

I think as I just alluded to, the secret is not numbers. It isn’t calories, it isn’t minutes working out. It isn’t how many inches. All of those beliefs that people have been taught are just not accurate. The secret is much more a spiritual or feeling space thing. And I would say if there is a secret, which I don’t even believe in the concept of having secrets, but I’ll humor that wording. The secret really is realizing that when you gain weight, you have separated from yourself, when you gain weight in the unhealthy way.

Sure.

And the desire that we have is to use it as a protection. Or sometimes, in my case, as kindness. Or what I thought was a kindness. I would be taking someone else’s pain on for them and saying, I’m strong enough to deal with this. You are, in my perception, unfortunately, I had the misconception that someone else was weaker than I was. And so I would take that pain on for them, and I would hide their secrets for them.

Oh, wow!

It literally almost looks like, ‘Oh, you have this burden or this secret that you can’t carry.’ And it looks like a little package that I would put onto myself and then cover up and hide for them as a favor to them. And I realize that is exactly the opposite of what needs to happen and what really would benefit everybody would be to say, ‘Why are you holding that secret? There’s nothing to be ashamed of. There’s no reason to keep that secret. Shout it from the rooftop because there’s nothing to hide.’ There literally is no reason to hide anything. And if we all were able to say to ourselves, there’s no reason for hiding things- there’s no reason for shame. There’s no reason for secrecy. Then things would be much easier in a lot of ways. And in my opinion, a lot of people would lose a lot of weight.

That’s your goal. I think that a secret is: don’t hide things. Don’t feel the need to be secretive. Don’t feel that there’s something to be ashamed of, but just be honest and truthful and look and see that in doing that, you are really experiencing- it’s impossible not to experience- a love of yourself.

And so, I guess the secret is to love yourself and to reconnect with your own self.

Lily, this is extremely interesting for a couple of reasons. One, of course, I’ve helped and actually facilitated others in this category where they were wanting to make a change. I’ll use the words transformation. And a lot of times they’re not aware of something that is embedded- hidden- until I would reflect that on their behalf. And then that secret becomes exposed. And then ultimately, it’s not what they thought it to be. It enables them to become aware of what, the big monster in the room is so that they can stop this protection.

And I say protection on a physical level, of course, and that’s the lowest level. But then it goes up to the emotional level. And then sometimes we can even protect on a spiritual level, as if we need to do that. And yet I can think of another instance where I was working with this individual and she lost 75 pounds and she didn’t do anything in terms of making changes in her eating habits, number one. Two, which is remarkable, because a lot of people really get caught in that. And I know that you want to expand upon that which I want to talk about. But then two, she changed a little bit in terms of her exercise regime, if I can, call it that. But dropping 75 pounds without, shall we say, counting calories or having to do 5 hours in the gym every day was not something that she did. There was a change of energy, a change of mind. And then suddenly this weight started falling off. And I know a lot of people are challenged with that concept, and perhaps you can address the idea, maybe even talk about, Lily, if you have had experience with trying other things, other diets, other things that may or may not have worked. And most of all, what brought you to this state of transformation?

Yeah. Congratulations to that other woman. Good for her. I was never really into dieting, to be honest and just straightforward. I always knew that the answer was not about food or calories or any of that. I had a really strong sense that this whole diet industry was just a big lie, and I did not want to participate in that. So, I did do various- like here and there I’d be like, oh, I’ll count calories or I’m going to restrict carbs, but I was never someone who was very into that.

Okay.

And I know that that’s somewhat unusual, but that’s just my reality. I have always enjoyed movement, but I have not- had not- let myself enjoy it. I think that is somewhat common for people who are overweight. I think there’s a lot of fear that they will be judged if they try to move or enjoy their body or play around with their body. And I had some fear of that in myself. So now, although I do go to the gym regularly, it’s not because I feel this need to be regimented and to almost self-punish through movement. It’s because I really enjoy moving. And I go to classes that I consider actually fun. And so that’s important to me is that I do what feels fun to me. So if I feel like I want to go to the gym at whatever weight I will go. And now I’m taking classes that I find enjoyable or I go out and walk because the key to self-love is- one of the keys- is to find what you love and to do that. And it’s just as simple as that.

I want to kind of highlight that for everyone listening, because whether it’s weight transformation or any other thing that you want to change, we don’t often make these changes- there’s an idea that especially at the first of the year, which we’re now participating in to make these proclamations, these goals of what we’re going to do for the New Year. And yet there’s no follow up. And the reason why is because there’s a disconnection from what it is that we say that we want to do, we want to do this. But then two days later, five days later, maybe three weeks later, we’re not doing it. So, what is it that has enabled you to be consistent in this way, Lily?

I just like what I’m doing. We can’t be consistent- I mean- it’s possible to be somewhat consistent when you dislike what you’re doing, but that becomes a form of self-punishment, and therefore the opposite of what we’re trying to achieve. The idea of being restrictive or of being regulatory will not work. If what you’re trying to do is have a long-term success, and by that, I don’t just mean weight loss, but I mean enjoying your life.

Sure.

How can you consider yourself successful if you lose 100 pounds but you are constantly miserable, right?

That doesn’t make sense. Yeah.

So, in order to be consistent, you need to do what you enjoy. And so for me, just being who I am, I change things often, so I consistently do what I enjoy. But I used to walk 5 miles a day, which I enjoy. And now I’m taking Zumba classes, which I enjoy. And sometimes still I’ll walk 5 miles a day. So the idea of being non restrictive but consistent is something that some people need to wrap their minds around. It doesn’t have to be: I eat exactly 1800 calories a day or even 1200 calories a day or whatever it is that the supposed ideal number is, according to math.

Are you coaching people now? I mean, how is it that you can help others who may be trying to get to this attribute of fun through consistency? Meaning, are there programs that you offer? Tell us a little bit about that.

Yeah. I am happy to continue to talk to people. I feel like everyone is an individual, and so contacting me and saying, ‘What can we figure out together to work?’ I would love to do that. So, if that’s a daily phone call, if that’s being accessible via text messages on the regular… People need a consistent person to go to sometimes. And I would love to be that person. So if you want to text me ten times in row saying, I’m just in a panic, no need to respond here’s what’s going on: blah, blah, blah, blah. I want to be a person to be there for that. Or if you want a structured phone call every Friday at this time, I want to be there for that.

So, basically a partner, you’re kind of describing a partnership.

Yeah. I’m a person who believes in flexibility. And so flexibility within consistency is hard to achieve. And I acknowledge that it will be achieved in various ways. But yeah, a partner, a friend to walk through this with.

Lily, I think it’s important to add to this discussion that you have some enormous spiritual skills that, in my opinion, have had everything to do with this transformation. And we talked about this as well. And if it’s something you’re comfortable talking about, perhaps this transformation from going from where you were to where you are, is something bigger than just weight loss? Can you talk about that? I’m going to kind of throw you a lob over home plate with that question. But do you want to elaborate with what I would call your spiritual growth as a result of this as well?

I don’t know how much of a lob that is.

That’s fair.

You’re setting this up like it’s an easy one. No, this is not an easy one.

You can handle it.

Oh, no. My perfectionism is sneaking in. This is absolutely a spiritual thing. I am happy to talk about and to admit that this is something that is not a physical thing. If I did this by the world’s rules or by the physical plane’s rules, I would be unsuccessful.

Is that cheating?

No. Absolutely not. No. And whatever you have in your bag, use it. Cheating doesn’t even make sense.

Right. Because I asked that question on purpose, because I know a lot of people sometimes get confused with that, as if we can’t use our “spiritual gifts” -if I can use that term- or “inclinations” or basically who we are- to create something that we really want. We don’t have to quote, struggle, please. I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Yeah. No, I see what you’re saying. Well, for me, that reminded me of the idea that I have been often told that things come way too easy for me. And people are angry at me because I’m not struggling. And so that for a while held me back. And I thought, oh, I better pretend that I am like other people in this way so that I don’t offend them. And it just doesn’t work. If something is easy for you, if you can take a jump of 1000 feet, when everyone else is tiptoeing, jump the thousand feet. Let them tiptoe if that’s what they’re going to do now. Eventually they might jump 1000 feet, and eventually they might not. But it doesn’t have anything to do with holding you back from what you can do.

That’s an incredible thought. So, I kind of want to spin back just a little bit to some pragmatic things and spiritual things in-between. When going to the gym, I know in having talked to a lot of people in this category that sometimes there’s a great deal of judgment. I’m going to use the words addiction. Food isn’t necessarily always an addiction. But to me, in my observation, helping a lot of people in various categories of addiction, food can be one of the most challenging ones because we have to have it.

Right.

Meaning, alcohol, ultimately, the mind says, I have to have it or even  “Drug A.”. Or even sex. It’s something that we have to have. Or excessive sleep. And these are all attributes of addiction. But food is something we have to literally have. So, if you’re not drinking, we can perhaps escape by not going to the local bar, those places that we used to hang out and drink. But with this, we’re forced in the sense that we have to biologically eat at least several times a day. And I know people really in this category have really been challenged with the idea that in one sense, this is something that everybody can see. So, I may have an addiction that’s not seen- meaning not seen in terms of the whole world seeing it. James Franco, for example, just admitted to having a sex addiction. I don’t think everybody knew that. And yet at the same time, it wasn’t necessarily carried on his body. This is something that is. And sometimes it can create a great deal of embarrassment. And even dare I use the word “judgment” whether people are conscious of that or not. Can you address a little bit about the judgment of any of it? Because I think it would be very helpful just from a “having been there” perspective.

Yeah. I’m aware that there’s a lot of judgment, and I have a different perspective on it. To me, when I carried a whole lot of extra weight, from my perspective, I was being honest. I was saying, ‘Hey, I’m not hiding anything.’

Right. Right. Yeah, yeah.

This is a personification of who, where and what I am being right now. And so other people can try- it’s just like-  I understand that other people can hide whatever it is that their addiction or their issues are. But my intention is to say, ‘I’m working through something right now. Here it is on my body. It’s yelling out. If you want to judge it, you can judge it. And to be honest, there is self-judgment at one point as well.

Sure.

And I think that’s really, really common. People hear the judgment of others and they take it on themselves. Or the weight was caused initially by something that caused you to feel guilt or self judgment. But it just doesn’t make any sense. Whether there’s judgment or not, we can’t let ourselves hide away. We can’t let ourselves be so strongly affected by the judgment that is there. We have to be ourselves.

Well, doesn’t it take a certain amount of courage, though, to face that or address that. And then at one point, step aside from that, especially if this is something that might have been passed down, like a gene in the family tree? I know a lot of people think that sometimes weight runs in the family, and of course, it can to some degree. But I think there’s a lot of confusion with that. That a lot of times mom and dad perhaps were heavy and the children are heavy. Then there’s the idea that it’s a DNA thing. And again, in some cases, that could be accurate. But a lot of times, it’s not. Meaning, it can be described as something else. Maybe you want to address that?

Yeah. I think that there might be some credence to the idea that there is a genetic component.

Sure.

But what really is the deal is that it’s behaviors and thought patterns that are transferred from person to person. So while there may be a genetic predisposition, what matters is that the thoughts and behaviors of a family system are what really is transferred from person to person and the expectation that if you’re to be one of the clan, then you’re going to look, act, feel, think like one of the clan.

Sure.

And it’s almost to me like a building of a cult.

Oh, interesting.

These are our belief systems. You will follow them without question. If you have something that is without or beyond or other than what we think and feel, you will stick out. You will be rejected in some way. And there’s a lot of times in a family an expectation of you will follow along with what it is that we think and prescribe to you. You will live it out and it will be seen as: you are one of us.

I’m sorry for interrupting. This is a rather big deal because I’m thinking of a scenario where I knew a mom and a dad, as friends as well as some people I facilitated. They had a normal  baby boy. And yet the baby boy was normal in terms of his weight. But, immediately, I watched this family continue to put on more and more weight. And then I also watched this boy in his childhood. That would be to say, in his teenage years, he became quite literally the heaviest guy in class. I think close to 280lbs as a teenager. And I was aware of what the family was eating. But more importantly, back to what you’re saying here, is this thing that some kind is almost- I’m going to call it a poison- but I don’t mean to say that it’s killing somebody, but it could. But it’s a mindset that gets ingrained to the point that the person may or may not know that there’s another option. This is how it is. And like you said, we adhere to the brand, which is the family brand in terms of our surname. This is what we do and to be, quote, a Jolly or a Jones, we have to follow these unwritten rules to participate in this family tree. And of course, to break out of that can seem to be to some degree psychologically dangerous. How are we going to do that? How am I going to change my body and still be -dare I say- loved or even honored or liked by the family tree?

Right. Because it’s not just a change of body. That’s really the end result. What it is a change of thought, a change of belief system. And it is frightening to say I am different from the way I was raised so much so that those things that I never question, I’m now questioning. And I don’t mean to offend anybody. I don’t mean to change in a way that makes others feel bad about themselves. All these things become part of that full system. And what happens is that people say, no, I’m comfortable enough feeling as though I am loved by the people who I think are important. I will remain the same. So they have these two very different desires. One is to lose weight and the other is to be loved by their family. Which is going to win?

Right, right.

You’re going to choose to be loved by your family every time- until you realize that this is a false dichotomy. There are not really just two ways of looking at things. You will be loved no matter what. And if you do actually lose the love of some person because you have decided to do what feels right to you, then it comes down to- then they didn’t love you in the first place.

Right.

That sounds kind of like trite and unhappy, but there’s some truth to that. If you cannot be who you are and have the love of that person, you need to make a choice. Are you going to pretend and then fall into this almost a trance of behavior and thought, or are you going to break free and decide- no- I’m done playing those games. I’m going to be who I am and that’s something that will make me feel great. And then other people have the choice to do that or not do it. But I’m not going to let that manipulation, which is what it really is, lead me into a place where I don’t want to be. There will be better things where I end up than this game that I’m stuck in- this cycle that keeps repeating because I keep believing things that are not true.

That’s the key. We talked about the secret in the beginning, in my opinion. And this is why I was sharing with you that softball pitch over home plate that wasn’t so soft. We’re taking this opportunity to become aware of those things that we’re being conditioned to believe, perhaps that we never even have challenged or even kind of given conscious thought to and to reevaluate.

And when we do this from a spiritual perspective, I can’t think of a belief- not one- that I’ve kept that I thought was the The Belief. Meaning in terms of that being a family belief or even an external belief. And the reason why I say that is because every time that I was like ‘this is the way’ based upon this belief that I was holding onto, I became aware of something I’ll call -use the term- expansive.

Something that was way beyond this singular thought, which was uncomfortable because I was familiar with it and then comfortable in the sense that I, of course, been around town protecting that as if I had to. And this is very common. And I use the word “protection” because of course, this is what we’re doing when we create excess in anything. In terms of bodily protection, et cetera.

And yet there’s something to be said really about how you’re going from what was in terms of this mind/ thought /body connection piece to something that is empowering-enabling. And you said it rather casually. But I just kind of want to really emphasize this: when we love ourselves, as if that could be a problem, meaning a problem for anyone that would include a family tree and really honor ourselves.

That’s a whole other word- in being who we are, then if someone likes us, loves us or appreciates us or can continue to let us be in the fold of the family based upon that, shall we say, transformation or that change-wonderful! And yet if for some, quote, strange reason that we are shunned or we’re pushed away or we are spat upon and sometimes quite literally, then we have to honor that.

You know what? That may or may not have anything to do with you. Period. Meaning, sometimes we get confused with that and take on the idea. And I’m speaking energetically. This is what you were talking about earlier. In terms of hiding, we take on those energies, we hide them as if this is something we’re supposed to do to be a member of the family.

This is really, really cool. So, Lily, tell me more or tell us more about what it is. Can we still eat pizza? Do we never have to eat ice cream again? I like the fun part, but from a pragmatic perspective, are there rules? Is this something I can do? Does this apply to anyone who’s trying to lose 5 pounds versus 100? Help me out here.

Yeah, there aren’t any strict rules. Eat what you want. And it really is not- what you eat needs to reflect your belief system.

Hold on, hold on. Are you honestly saying that in this change that you can continue to eat what you want and still get, quote the results that you’ve created?

Yeah, absolutely. For me, the only change that I made in my eating was that I made sure that what I was eating actually reflected my belief system. And I won’t share what specifically I eat because I don’t want to make other people adjust and take on my belief system. That would never be right. I don’t want to do that.

Sure.

So, eat what you want. Eat what reflects you. I mean, I tend to be a very playful person, so there’ll be times when I eat very playfully and I might do something like, ‘Today, I’m going to eat anything that’s blue.’

I was thinking food fight, so…

If anyone wants to have a food fight with me, I’m down for it. I haven’t found that person yet.

I don’t know. You may be able to find somebody.

Yeah, true. It’s just for my personal belief system, I have some more serious beliefs, but I also believe most wholeheartedly that fun is essential. And so I have fun with what I eat. And the opposite for me is to be regimented and to be just making things hard for myself. I have fun with my food as well.

So, is this consistency like a discipline or…? I mean, I’m trying to get a grasp on this in terms of the consistency. For most people, most people have gone into this with extreme discipline. We’re going to go to the gym eight times a day and we’re going to have no potato chips, no pizzas, and we can eat only sanctioned meals that come out of Weight Watchers or some organization which may or may not work for all people.

And yet it seems like it’s hard. If we just looked in the mirror and evaluated, it looks like it’s just we’re climbing Mount Everest in some kind of way, and sometimes it can feel, well, overwhelming.

Yeah. For me that has never worked and never will. For me, and I think for probably most people, I could be wrong. But that type of regimentation is just counterproductive.

Okay.

Anytime we’re battling something, we’re going in the wrong direction. We don’t want to battle ourselves. We want to make sure that what we’re doing is honoring ourselves, making life for ourselves better rather than more restrictive. So, I have a general schedule and it’s just as flexible as my personality is. I generally do the same thing every day.

Okay.

But my personality fits that. There might be someone who enjoys more regimentation. Cool. Go for that. Whatever matches you. I mean, your dietary needs are not other than you. They’re a part of you. So if you’re a flexible person, your food is going to be flexible. If you’re a more regimented person, your food will be more regimented.

Sure.

But it’s not something that someone else can assign to you. It’s something that you’ll need to discover based upon who you are. And for me, my food is very me. And for you, your food will be very you.

So, Lily, when you go to help somebody, let’s say I wanted to lose 10 pounds or something more. Do you actually take the time to tune into me the person, my body, my belief system? I mean, is this the kind of integration that we’re doing versus some, “general plan” that may or may not work for everybody?

Right. Absolutely. Any general plan is generic. It’s only going to work to some certain degree, and then it will stop working because it’s made generically as a general guideline. But if you specifically want to have your personal goal achieved, then yeah, we need to look at who you are as a human being and beyond human, who you are as a soul, as a Being and find something that feels great. And when it feels great, it will work.

I think that’s incredible. I wanted to add, if you don’t mind, this thought that a lot of times I have noticed that people who create on create a layer of protection- and by the way- it doesn’t have to be just weight loss. It could be intellectual protection, which is not necessarily seen as, pounds per se. But I’ve noticed a pattern.

I just want to have your thoughts on it. If you don’t mind commenting, Lily. Sometimes there’s an idea that food is love. And what I mean by that is that the tongue gets excited. And of course, behind that, the mind- that I’m eating something- let’s call it Haagen-Dazs, that is, oh, my God, that’s love. And so I’m going to have not a bite- a little bit- and we take that sweetness and we pull it in and we keep playing that record or taking that in excessively- you can use that term- at an expense.

The body obviously can’t handle that. And yet, I don’t think most people give consideration to the idea that they’ve turned off- and I want to say that really strongly- other attributes of receiving- as in love. Meaning it’s only coming through that one portal of the mouth. And therefore the idea of going into a dietary space doesn’t work because of their belief system is, oh, my God, you’re really asking me to not receive love, which means this is the only way that I receive love.

So, therefore, you’re asking me to basically cut back on that. And everything else is in high order of protection, and therefore I can’t have it. I can’t do that. It means it becomes that internal struggle becomes a civil war. That becomes a raging war that they can’t quote unquote ever do. And this is why I think a lot of the quote programs that are out there may or may not work because they don’t necessarily deal with this real issue.

It’s very popular to say we’re going to lose 5 pounds in two days or 10 pounds in a week, and all these programs are sold, with that auspice, but not necessarily successful. Successful being that someone’s life actually changes permanently. So I’m going to ask you this question, too, Lily. How long has it been?

Since I lost all of the weight?

Well, no, it doesn’t need to be answered that way. Some people do it for two weeks, and then, of course, they feel like they got thrown to the curb because it didn’t work. And then that’s just another mark on the chalkboard of what didn’t work and they become discouraged. And, of course, a lot of times judgmental and especially if they’re in a relationship, you know, well, you didn’t follow the program. You didn’t follow Weight Watchers. You didn’t do. You didn’t go to the gym.

And there’s this energy that they’re never doing it right. They’re never succeeding. The reason I’m talking about the love piece is because it can feel like someone’s literally taking the milk bottle out of your mouth and you’re going to die. And you didn’t talk about, or haven’t  yet…There are people that go through even operations, Lily. Of course, you know this. They remove part of the body embodiment so that they can’t take in the excess.

And of course, that’s not the issue. We both know people who have done that and maybe not successfully. And I’m not trying to put a judgment on that as much as to say, wow, how can we take out pieces of the body and still maintain this layer of protection? Meaning we’re still having that challenge. And again, I’m putting forth this love concept because the idea of cutting down the love that comes into your body slash your mouth isn’t true.

That’s why I want to emphasize that. Because when you open up to the idea that love can be received in all different ways, not necessarily just through the mouth. And it changes the rules. It’s like, oh, my God, I actually can eat- as you were suggesting- things that I would like. But as you’re opening up to love, meaning outside of that one- call it pathway- then you’re able to receive. And then guess what? Your body starts to reduce its need to protect.

And we have this result which a lot of people may not understand, maybe not have experienced, and therefore, to some degree may even doubt it. But I see that. Or I feel like I’m witnessing that with you. But this love that you are giving or extending to yourself is no longer, I’ll call it, limited to the mouth.

Yeah, I don’t feel like it ever was limited to the mouth, but I do understand what you’re saying. And I agree with the idea that there are tricks that occur with food where people are taught by, in some cases, food manufacturers and by some cases, family members that this is a way to comfort yourself. And this is a way to feel better. Just eat this and you’ll feel better, and it’s very insidious in families. It is taught like, oh, no, you fell down, you have a scratch, you’re crying. Here, take a piece of candy. Or, here have a- whatever it might be.

Right, right.

Or we’ll call some foods comfort food. Like, you’re feeling depressed, oh, just have that mac and cheese or baked potato or whatever it might be that is comfort food in your family. And that is something that is actively taught, and it’s also passively taught. It’s a huge manipulation and sometimes unintentionally, like, the food that’s supposed to be fun is all bright colors and very sugary. So that’s the fun stuff.

So, if you want to have fun and you’re not having fun, get something bright -colored and sugary. Or if you’re feeling bad, do the same thing. So that we attach emotions to the food. Sometimes very, very intentionally. And those things just don’t coincide. That’s a big lie and a big manipulation. If you’re feeling sad, food will not solve it.

Right.

If you have overeaten way too much and you’ve gained a whole lot of weight, taking a part of your body out will not solve it. That is finding a solution that doesn’t exist. If you’re feeling sad, address the sadness. If you have overeaten way too much, it’s not your stomach’s fault. Don’t take that out. Look at the truth. What is the actual situation that we are really dealing with? And the actual situation that we’re really dealing with comes down to almost always is: I don’t feel happy. I don’t feel loved. Something is missing. I need to fill that emptiness.

Right.

But it’s hard to look at that. It’s hard to do that for many people because it’s easier to say there’s a simple, quick solution. And then you get stuck in that cycle of: I feel bad. I eat something. It’s sweet and sugary. I feel better. Then I feel bad again. Oh, no. Better eat more of that ice cream. But then we go around in that cycle of: I feel bad. I eat some ice cream. I feel better. I feel bad again.

Let’s try cake this time. I feel better. I feel bad. Maybe it’s the pizza. Maybe that’s what I needed. And so we kind of prescribe ourselves all these false ways to feel better. And unfortunately, it seems to work temporarily.

And so we’re like, okay, I’ll just keep doing this because at least there’s some relief for my emotions for a moment. Or at least I’ve done what satisfies the public for a time, because there is a strong message as far as surgery goes. Like, if you’re very overweight, you are a problem. And we don’t like looking at you, so go solve that problem.

Here’s the surgery. And so you feel as though you’re satisfying the general public and your own problems might actually get solved as well. And it looks like you’ve made an effort. So that’s good. And you’ve spent some money. That must mean something. And then we just have all these false narratives that we choose to believe.

We choose to play this game, are lying to ourselves, and following these manipulations because it’s socially accepted because it seems like we can fool ourselves into believing that it might work. But it’s all false. And if we just go to the place where the actual problem is, look at that problem and solve it, then it’s just a forever thing.

I think that’s incredible. I’m just kind of sitting in awe and I bet a lot of people are as well, Lily, just about your openness. And I just have to ask, do you feel that this ability that you’ve now witnessed for your own self and then you’re sharing and teaching others to do this- do you feel like it can help everybody? Meaning will it help men, women, teenagers? I mean, the point is, is this program that you’re sharing and teaching limited to some part of the demographic? Do we have to be 35 and spiritually aware?

Yeah, these are just truths of humanity. And so it will work for anybody. There’ll be, like I mentioned before, differences based upon who you are. If you are younger or older or you have different goals or whatever, then we’ll do things differently. But that would be the same- we would do things differently no matter who you are, because everyone is an individual.

Sure.

But yeah, it works for anyone of any gender. It works for anyone of any age. It works for anyone who doesn’t even need to lose weight. This is just kind of an inroad. It’s not really about weight loss. It’s really about self love.

Yes.

If you want to lose 5 pounds or 500 pounds or if you just are interested in what I’m saying and want to talk some more and don’t have to lose weight, cool. That’s great. This is not really about weight loss. This is really about getting rid of the lies and loving yourself.

That’s incredible, Lily, in terms of so succinct in putting that together. I know that I have shared many times that to help someone to create awareness surrounding the topic of food that I’ve asked them and many people that I’ve facilitated to become conscious of your body, not just your mouth, your body before you go to eat- your whole self while you’re actually eating. And of course, how you’re feeling afterwards.

Now, it seems very obvious. Meaning, it seems like that’d be a very simple thing to do. Like, yeah, I know. How do I feel before I’m about to eat? I’m hungry. No, it’s actually bigger than that. And the more that you get into that, you’ll realize maybe I’m hungry because I’ve been starving myself.

I’ve been dieting for three days malnourshing, and of course, the body just retains that. It’s like we go into the aisle and there’s chips and there’s Coke and there’s this and it’s like, oh, my God, I’ve got to have all of that! And we go to the counter and we get it all and we come home and we just scarf it down, usually without anyone seeing, meaning, hiding- exactly what you talked about-

Yeah, because we feel shame and there’s no shame involved there. That’s a natural consequence of your behavior. If you starve yourself, you’re going to not be able to do it for a long time. And then people come out like, I can’t tell anyone I ate that chocolate cake. Yeah, you can. That’s what’s going to happen.

Sure.

I ate a chocolate cake. Stand on the roof and yell it. I starved myself. Guess what happened? It didn’t work. That’s why I ate a chocolate cake. There’s no shame in that kind of thing. It’s something that I think I didn’t talk about a whole lot, but there’s a lot of shame in this process, and that got to get kicked out because what we are doing as people who are overweight is- a thin person would do in this situation- because binging is a natural consequence of repression.

Things just work that way. An overweight person will do that. An underweight person will do that if they don’t have other situations that they’re battling. It’s just how things work when we restrict, that restriction can only last so long before we have some type of a rebellion against it.

Sure.

And there’s no reason we need to feel shame because we have reacted in a predictable way. There’s no shame around food. There’s no shame around eating. There should be no shame around body size or our behavior or really anything. The things that we do we do for reasons that are clear and understandable. There’s no shame in being human and then behaving in that way.

So, Lily, you’re also saying that what you have to offer is something that could be also very much utilized by the person who has trouble getting food in their mouth.

Yeah. It’s all the same.

Yeah, I know that. But I think it’s important to get that forth because I think a lot of people see it only from the one side. The person who’s bulimic and having trouble allowing that sustenance to stay within themselves has everything to do with you sharing about this topic of self-love because they don’t love themselves, and they have to expel that.

And of course, that doesn’t work either. The body has its natural limits in terms of what it can do. We can starve ourselves. Most of us don’t have the capacity to do that- should we say- successfully- and ultimately it doesn’t work, and it’s not healthy. And I’ll just say from my own perspective, it’s not fun.

It’s not fun to starve yourself or to repress yourself. When here I would look at you doing what you’re doing and what you’re doing is working. And I’m trying to be overly disciplined in terms of trying to gut it out, so to speak. And I think a lot of people have tried that and sometimes feel very worn down because they have tried so many things, wondering if there’s really something that’s, quote, unquote going to work.

Yeah, yeah. And that idea of look, I just have to resign myself to this is how I’m going to be forever. It makes sense that people would think that way because they feel as though they’ve tried so many things and they’ve failed or been failed by so many things that they just give up. Or they go to this place where they say, okay, body positivity, which I absolutely agree with, but not when it makes someone discontinue their efforts to improve their love for themselves.

Sure.

So, the movement of body positivity is wonderful, except that it then says, to some people, so then stop trying. Just love yourself now. Absolutely love yourself now. But if there’s more growth that you desire, don’t stop yourself. Find a way that will help you instead of finding something that will work against you, because this whole industry, the whole diet industry is really a big lie. We will tell you things that we don’t even believe- that will not work- and we know it- so that you fall into this trap of doing this until you fail and we get rich.

Wow. That’s incredibly blunt. With that thought, Lily, is what you’re offering insanely expensive?

No, it’ll be different for everybody. It’s not going to ever be cost prohibitive, but you will have to pay for something so that you have an incentive to do something. And I’m going to be very upfront with that. That is going to be a fair exchange. And I believe incredibly in the idea that treating yourself to too much food is a form of self-abuse or self-punishment.

Sure.

And I don’t believe in that. The same way I don’t believe in someone saying I will do this for free. No, I won’t do this for free in the same way that I don’t believe in someone saying I will do this for a million dollars. No, I won’t require a million dollars.

Right, right.

There needs to be an equitable exchange in every way. So, it’s going to be different for everybody who comes in because everybody who comes in will have their own program.

Fine. You know, Lily, I’m going to say this because I feel this and I really mean it. And I’m able to offer this to anyone who’s listening that has felt comfortable in working with me. Lily, you’re the real deal. Meaning, you’re not putting on a show and tell. And I wouldn’t even invite you to this space to share with me unless I felt that intuitively, which is to say spiritually and certainly from a physical perspective.

And we’ve worked together many different kinds of things. I think that can be shared as well. Lily has actually participated with me in doing in professionally editing my writing with regards to my books, et cetera. And I want that to be disclosed because what you are doing here is enabling others to really be empowered, which is something that we share. Meaning, we want to create alignment with someone’s higher self into their physical embodiment, so they get a chance to exercise this opportunity of love that’s divine love/ physical love into this embodiment, and to make these wonderful changes to be happy and joyous.

And Lily, I just want to share that whatever cost of your services were, they’re worth every cent. I mean, every cent because they work. You’re talking to someone that number one who has gone through it. Two, who is not just talking to you about again, calories, or the over disciplined, but really getting to what I will call the key issues. And Lily, that’s why I wanted to have you here because I feel like a lot of people try to skip that, and that becomes the root of the frustration.

They’re trying to apply themselves externally to these different things. They’re hovering around that scale 24/7, and they never quite get that the correlation of self-love is fun. It’s not a sin. We don’t have to run around feeling shameful and bad and hiding as if these issues and I’m talking about beliefs and or conditions, or perhaps even experiences because you alluded to attributes of abuse that can come through the family tree, of course. And of course, that can have a lot to do with someone’s inability to receive love, right?

So, I just want to share with everyone that Lily, you are something extraordinary, special. And someone having the pleasure of working with you should be seen as something that they’re giving a gift to themselves by just introducing themselves to you- with the intention of making the commitment. Because, of course, Lily, as you said, you’re not going to do it for somebody. It has to be done as a result of someone engaging accordingly.

If you’re serious about wanting to make a physical change, I think getting in touch with you, Lily, is an extraordinary thing. And of course, I think that you’ll find out as a result of this dialogue that it isn’t just physical. That these are going to lead you into other attributes of awareness. Lily, in closing, if you don’t mind, tell us how this might have changed your spirituality, if you will. Meaning, losing this amount of weight- has it changed any of your ability in terms of your awareness?

When I first started this process, I realize now that I had an idea that things were very separate. I had my physical self separate from my intellectual self, separate from my spiritual self, separate from all different parts. And I think a lot of people who have weight issues do that. We separate ourselves.

For me, as a result of abuse. And probably for many people for the same reason. You can hurt my body. But you haven’t gotten to the real me. And so that’s a defense mechanism. Do that to that part of me. But you haven’t really gotten to the “me” part of me.

And what this has done has been to integrate it all so that my body is me. My thoughts are me. My intellect is me. My spiritual self is me. All of it is me, and it’s un-hurt-able. It’s untouchable by darkness or things that I don’t like because of the choices that I’ve made. It’s just an integration of all parts of myself and an elevation of the truth, which is that we are loved and that we are in no need of protection because we cannot be hurt.

I’m smiling. I’m in awe, too. I mean, I have to say that as well. Lily —how do people get a hold of you?

Send me an email. My email address is just my name with a dash.

Cool. Lily, I just want to literally offer you a sincere bow. We haven’t seen one another because of the interesting times that we’re living in in terms of the pandemic. But I just want to honor you. I’m closing my hands and throwing across my chest and just bowing in your participation. Being here with me clearly and for the benefit of everybody. So thank you so much for coming onto True Connections with me. And it’s been, again, a tremendous pleasure. Thank you.

Well, thank you so much. It’s been really fun. Bye, everyone.

I look forward to doing it again.

Yeah, me, too.

My Story

Few people know what’s keeping themselves from going forward.

The Big Lie seems to be again quite popular. But what’s behind the lying? I’m not really interested in talking  politics but rather the origins of the Big Lie… and what’s really being hidden.

In this podcast you’ll discover the one thing that keeps you closed off spiritually.

Step away from the propaganda, the lies, and get to the single most important thing keeping you disconnected from your spiritual gifts.

Transcription: The Big Lie

Face it, everybody lies. Most scholars agree that we learn to lie between the ages of two and four years old. Pretty early, right? Discover today what the Big Lie really means and how it affects you in every moment of your life.

In this podcast, I’m going to share exactly what the Big Lie is. And even more importantly, what’s behind it, even worse or better from your perspective, is why do we lie? What are we protecting? So what is the lie?

The actual concept of the Big Lie comes from politics. If you’re a history buff, then you know the Big Lie comes from the person who wrote the book, Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler. And it is true that the last US President, you know, the one who lost the election who is still using this same principle, created by Hitler, which is defined as; “The audacity to distort the truth, so infamously.”

This is plainly seen in the fact that the previous president didn’t loose the election because he didn’t have enough votes. No, according to the Big Lie he lost the election due to “electoral election fraud.” So, is this the Big Lie I want to talk about? No, it’s even better. In German, the Big Lie is translated as Gross Luge, which reads like in English like Gross Loogie. I’m saying that because I want you to picture it. Yeah. When you hear the phrase Big Lie, I want you to hear Gross Loogie.

So, what is the Big Lie?

Before I tell you, let me tell you that all lies are covering something up. Did you know that many liars actually unconsciously put their hands around their mouth –covering their mouth while they’re talking? This is because they have something to cover up. It’s kind of surprising to have that kind of tell, but it’s true.

So, when you’re lying, you’re actually trying to cover something up. And of course, the bigger the lie, the bigger the cover up. And to be clear, politics isn’t the only place that we find liars. So when you think Big Lie, you should be again thinking Gross Loogie hanging from a big cover up.

Here’s a great example given to us by mother. She said, “My kids in last minute desperate attempt tried to convince me that the dentist was actually located in Toys R US.” I think that’s a perfect Big Lie. And it’s actually a perfect transition because we don’t want to get too lost or connected any longer to the Big Lie coming from Hitler and/or politics.

I should say right here and right now that most of us don’t think that we lie. Further, did you know that 60% of us, during a ten-minute conversation, lie to one another?

So, again, what are we protecting? If you go further, it’s not really hard to spot a liar, but it can be difficult if we’re not using our intuition or we’re not tuned in. Oftentimes, we do not call out liars or lies because we don’t want to be seen in a bad light. Guess what? Good liars, especially narcissists, love to take advantage of that.

But is this what we’re really here to talk about? The Big Lie? Nope, it isn’t. I just wanted to really get your attention because the Big Lie is keeping you dramatically attached to drama. It’s certainly true today. But there’s something behind the Big Lie, and that is this and this is the truth.

You are in resistance.

This is why you’re protecting. Like lying, you’re constantly in resistance. I know, I know you probably don’t even think that that’s true, and that’s fine. But hear me out, because in your choice to be in resistance, you’re also in pain or suffering. And of course, by definition, you’re out of the flow.

Like lying, you may not even know that your resistance. Meaning, there’s a parallel to lying and being in resistance. I think it’s important to really, really drink this that is the Big Lie. This the thing that your hiding, that you are in resistance to. This is what I want to talk about. The first thing you may say or start to think is, I’m not resistance. And if you’ve already had that thought, then you’ve already proved my point. And next you may say, what am I resistant too? Or what things do I resist?

Almost everything.

Let’s really muscle into the truth about the Big Lie and this thing that’s hidden behind the Big Lie – which is our choice to be in resistance. We continue to tell ourselves that we’re not resistance. But we are. You remember, just a moment ago, I was referencing the Big Lie and its origins from Adolf Hitler, coming from his book, Mein Kampf? And, if you speak German, then are you aware of what Mein Kampf means?

It actually means, “My Struggle“ or ”My Fight.” You should think about that. The actual person created the concept of the Big Lie perfectly entitled his book called My Struggle. We can say it in another way; My suffering or my pain. That is the basis of this Big Lie.

Hitler went into hiding. And of course, he’s was in total resistance, in the same way that a previous U.S. President is with his complete and utter denial that he lost the election. Resistance of the very thing that’s true, that he’s no longer in office.

When you’re in resistance, you’re struggling and you’re also in pain and suffering.

You may be asking how and where you are in resistance. It’s a fair question. Let me give you some direct examples, some things that will actually be harder to ignore. After September 11, 2001, when the towers were struck, everyone in the United States wanted things to go back to normal. If you were used to traveling by air, the changes related to getting on a plane changed forever. This is a state of resistance that we are seeing something. We have an event. We don’t like the event and we resist the event.

And then, of course, we want things to go back to the way they were. And of course, they’re never going to go back to the way they were. Another example is currently true that more people have died from COVID–19 than the Spanish flu of 1918. There are people right now who are continuing to deny that the virus or that the pandemic of COVID–19 is actually real. They think of it as an attributed politics because of this Big Lie, which is, of course, something that is a Gross Luge (remember Gross Loogie) that’s hanging or hiding.

And of course, we know that the real essence of what we’re talking about, which is resistance, and we can’t go forward, if we’re in a state of resistance.

I want to make a comment for those of you who don’t know that I’ve been discussing the Pandemic COVID–19, and it’s meaning from a spiritual perspective, almost from the very start. In a series of monthly free teleconferences called; 60 Minutes of Truth – In Uncertain Times with Weston Jolly. To get more information, just Google “60 Minutes of Truth with Weston Jolly.”

After your Google search, you’ll find instructions on how to join the next free 60 Minutes of Truth – In Uncertain Times with Weston Jolly teleconference. Plus, on this very same webpage, you can listen to almost every teleconference that we’ve had up to this date.

These free teleconferences are something that you may want to check out in determining what’s really behind the pandemic.

Let’s continue going forward about your choice, our choice, to be in a state of resistance so that we can become aware and make a change.

This is measured in the helplessness that you feel in being frustrated, anxious, worn out, angry, or even in rage for all that you are suffering. This is a really, really key sentence. This means that wherever you are focusing your energy consciously or not in a resistant state of mind, you’re actually contributing and creating all the difficulties that you’re presently incurring. This brings us, of course, to the biggest example in terms of resistance.

Our resistance to change.

In the business world, the resistance that people have to change is enormous, so much so that it consumes thousands and thousands of hours to try and help people understand why things need to change because they get locked in the idea that they shouldn’t change. And of course, what is that, again, a state of resistance. So when I say that we’re all in a state of resistance, it’s true physically. It is true spiritually. And this is something we want to change, right? Meaning, if we want to change it, we want to get into the flow. Let me go on to offer some other pragmatic examples of how we resist.

If you’re poor, you’re actually, in fact resisting wealth. That’s quite a statement. I could easily be offending people that perceive themselves as poor. But if you really want to get some more information about not being poor or better stated, not being in a state of resistance to wealth, then please read my book, Time to Be Rich. It costs $14.95 and you can get it here.—> Time To Be Rich.

If in reading Time To Be Rich, you didn’t get anything more than just reading the appendix of the book you’d benefit. I literally list all the current ways that you’re creating resistance to the very thing that you want, which is, in that case, wealth. If you really get in touch with the Time To Be Rich, of course, it’s much bigger than just about wealth.

Let’s continue going forward in taking about the banking system. There is continued resistance to cryptocurrencies. Why? Because the banking industry, as a whole internationally, can’t control it. That’s a problem, meaning as they proceed it, they don’t want to have this new technology or this new exchange to take place.

Therefore, they’re creating great deal of resistance -legally as well. And of course, that’s even how they would go to brand cryptocurrencies. This is why some cryptocurrencies are said to be used by the dark side of individuals in we would use that to buy and sell drugs, which of course, is not true. If we go into another pragmatic example, the whole automotive industry has been resistant to electric cars. Have you ever wondered why Tesla doesn’t have any car dealerships? Meaning, why can’t you run down and test drive a Tesla the same way that you would test drive a Ford or even a Ferrari?

You can’t drive a Tesla that way. There’s a reason because the whole industry that is, the whole automotive industry, got together and created a great deal of resistance to this new technology. Tesla was doing in a completely different way and became a threat because of that perceived threat. Again, there was a desire to create resistance and that’s still in places we speak. Interesting, right?

We’re talking about more pragmatic examples of how we create resistance. If we aren’t present, that is, we put all of our attention on the future or the past, then we don’t have to be accountable for what we’ve created. This is again, a state of resistance.

This one should be easy to observe as we all want to be seen doing something good. Meaning? Yeah, I did this right. We want to be seen winning the National Spelling Bee so we can be recognized. So, we can tell everybody how well we did. However, we don’t want to see the opposite end of the wave. We don’t run around telling everyone that we bombed out of the National Spelling Bee. In essence, we create all kinds of resistance, even denial, about the very thing that we’re participating in.

As an example, if you bombed out of the National Spelling Bee you might lie that you had a cold. Whatever it is that would be to excuse you being accountable for not being the champion. The entire world is in a state of resistance and it hasn’t been a few month or a few years, but decades resisting our role in climate change. I recently posted something on social media that was a wonderful picture of a Seahorse attached or connected with his tail to someone who thrown out a surgical mask.

You know, the same kind used to prevent spreading and catching the C–19 virus. My question is, why should nature suffer because of our resistance?

Do you remember the documentary called Blackfish? Sea World, a huge corporation, denied that keeping whales in captivity was killing the mammals. They resisted this observation, because of course the whales were a predominant attraction in the same way, in the same way that elephants were in the Ringling Brothers Circus. The documentary, Black Fish was extremely unpopular in the entertainment world, especially Sea World.

And guess what? Sea World created a lot of resistance to the documentary calling it false, since they didn’t want children seeing their whales as sick or dying. Nobody wants that. And yet guess what? You don’t see those whales in Sea World anymore because of the documentary.

There was resistance initially that we do something wrong when British Petroleum’s oil spill happened on the drilling rig, Deep Water Horizon. There was resistance, about whether the oil spill was significant. It was huge! Another example of pragmatic resistance.

When a writer, or anybody in the creative field, won’t express themselves because they fear that they may not be liked. We see that with journalists, and they’re not necessarily trying to write creatively. I would hope not anyway. They’re interested in offering us the facts, or that’s the way it used to be reported.

So, why are these states of resistance so popular again? Why is it that we even biologically learn or somehow develop this attribute of lying so early? There is a part of us that is in resistance and has always been resistance and yet if we don’t recognize that within ourselves and we’re going to be forever stuck, and I say stuck in terms of dormant.

And if we say really stuck, that means not awake. And of course, if you’re not awake, then you can’t go forward by any means. You don’t even know that you’re not awake. Of course, that means that you then lend yourself to the ears of things that would be audacious lies and whether they’re from the political world or otherwise. But giving yourself the opportunity to step away from resistance is done first acknowledging that you and I both do it. Not just a little bit, but all the time and let’s be candid about that.

If we’re in a state of resistance, then we want to feel it. Okay. I can feel my resistance to the idea that someone is asking me to do something on a television set or in the work environment or in my personal relationship, or maybe even a driving habit. I’ve seen people ride the brakes of their car because they’re trying to protect themselves all the time. And you can see it, when you drive behind them because you always see those red lights popping on and you can’t quite figure out what’s going on. Until you realize that they’re riding the brake.

They’re in a state of resistance. They’re stopping the flow from going forward. So, if this is you and not just because you drive like that, because most of this don’t. But we want to see that the state of resistance isn’t allowing you to become aware, literally, that’s something you should really feel, because in the very beginning, for myself, when I became aware, I was in a huge state of resistance from the start. And of course, this is all conditioned upon us as a biological being.

And yet we want to honor that, and at the same time, not necessarily accepted as reality. That’s the challenge and the change we need to make in this moment. If we give ourselves permission to really see that we don’t have to be in state of resistance, then you can feel and integrate as one within yourself and the Divine and the Universe –assuming you’re not resistant. Another way of saying it been said in different philosophies where someone’s not attached, and that’s not easy.

Let me give you another example. If I have made a reservation to go into a very nice restaurant and I’m very excited to have my table. Suddenly that table isn’t made available to me, it would be to some degree natural, right, that I might have a form of resistance to the restaurant not honoring my reservation.

This very thing was done on the sitcom Seinfeld. Jerry Seinfeld did this years ago, did an episode stand about going to a rental car counter, saying that he had reserved a car only find out that the car wasn’t available. “We don’t have any cars.”

And of course, there’s resistance. It’s reasonable to think that there must available if you’ve made a reservation with the rental car company. It’s funny, but if it’s happened to you, then it’s not so funny. We see that in every aspect of our lives. I’m being pragmatic with some of these examples because I want you to see how we do create resistance in our lives.

But it becomes even more shadowy or even gray when we don’t see the kind of resistance that we create spiritually. And that’s really the essence of why I want to share them.

Otherwise, we’re again struggling. I don’t want to struggle anymore. That’s me. Perhaps that’s you as well. And we don’t have to struggle anymore if we’re not resistant.

So how can we get into the flow? Well, that’s easier than you think. First, we have to see if we’re feeling resistance to anything. That would mean any change to the tax code or a change in a relationship.

When we change the way we feel, the way that we want to engage in society about not resisting then we’re open to the flow. Now, not all changes are necessarily to our benefit. And we should know that. And we do. And we don’t have to be in a resistance to that understanding as much as we just want to feel that and say; “Okay, that’s not necessarily the perfected flow, yet.”

Maybe electric cars aren’t necessarily the final solution. Maybe there’s going to be a transition to getting to the real solution. This is kind of transition is something we’ve in other technologies like music. At first, we had the LP record, then a desire to take our make our music mobile we had 8-track tapes. From there; audio tapes. Later, came the CD. And finally, we music as digital files. And all of those steps of transition lead to our linear progress with music publication.

So, if we’re in the midst of a technology change, that isn’t necessarily should say “the solution,” it’s fine. We don’t have to be in resistance to it, because oftentimes these steps take us to the next step. We want to honor that. Sometimes it’s not easy to observe, to know that we’re in the midst of something that’s not necessarily where we want to be. And for those of us who are aware that’s oftentimes the case. But we don’t want to fight that that we’re in process or transition to something that we’re ultimately going to create in balance.

If we’re going to make the changes in our world from a climate perspective, then we can’t wait until 2300 based upon the economy or anything —we can’t. That’s just ridiculous. We have to accept that we are accountable. How could we not be accountable for everything that we’ve been creating?

Then we’re at one with all things, which we are, and we don’t want to be in resistance to the very thing that connects to all things. This means I need to be accountable for those ALL things I’m creating. All of those things that are contributed maybe as pollution, but not maybe as, but truly as pollution.

And of course, if we know anything about climate change, the majority of this individual and global change comes down to how we eat. Most people adhere to the idea that we need to have protein by eating meat. And the idea if we don’t get enough protein, or meat more specifically, then your health is at risk. Of course, you see how this is branded into our minds in the same way that once about a time milk was sold or advertised, that we need to have eight glasses of milk a day!

That’s how I grew up. And I also grew up in a household that had meat excessively. And yet these things affect our bodies. It affects how we perceive. It affects the world and climate change.

The biggest change that we can make to a carbon neutral world is how we eat. (Stop eating meat) And that’s not that hard. So, if we go into the flow not eating meat, instead of thinking that something being taken away from us, then we allow the environment to do what we’ve seen during the pandemic where we suddenly gave it a break.

I’m talking about the animal kingdom. When suddenly you have seen animals moving into the cities because we weren’t encroaching on them. You know, like when drive our cars, trying to look at Buffalo in Yellowstone National Park. When we realize that to be a part of everything, we really need to honor, that resistance. And if we do so, then we can enable ourselves to empowerment. And that’s what we get by removing any state of resistance.

This is an easy thing to do even if we have a lot of patterns that deny or even wanting to be involved in anything that would be opening up. Oftentimes again, we don’t even we are creating resistance in the same way that we pretend when we don’t know we’re lying. But, you know, maybe the going to the dentist isn’t the same as going to Toys-R-Us. And I say that lovingly, meaning we don’t have to be in a state of resistance.

We don’t need to create a Big Lie within ourselves and again, forget the politics and forget where the Big Lie concept came from. Just stay with me and realizing that you and I don’t need to be stuck in the choice to be in resistance any longer. So, if you’re willing to even give this consideration to give it up, consider this affirmation;

See where that affirmation takes you. You see what happens when you let go of resistance.

This is my message, something I want to offer you today. Letting go of the Big Lie. That is what you’ve been hiding and protecting -that you are in resistance. That’s the issue.

Let go of your resistance. Allow yourself to accept and be in a state of gratitude, connected and with one another as we all are in transition to something because we choose to do something greater in service of one another collectively and of course, individually, too. It’s a beautiful thing to realize that we can offer one another love without being resistance.

I should comment on that because most people want love, the most important thing that they can ever create in this realm, to be loved or to be a part of something that’s loving. And yet, I can’t tell you how many times that I’ve seen it from my perspective, offering the many sessions that I have and continue to do so, where people literally put up a wall of resistance to the very thing that they want.

Feel it. If there’s any part of resistance within you, observe it, go back to the affirmation;

There’s no part of you that needs to be in resistance as you go forward, because in this connected state, it will enable you to have what you want in the flow, being present, no longer attached to the past or to the future. This is that message.
