Adopting the Identity of Infinite Intelligence

Start Your Transformation Now 

In this episode of The Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim continues his transformative “Shaman’s Tips for an Amazing 2026” series with Part 3, diving into four more timeless lessons from Don Javier and Don Juan. Through their teachings, Jim reveals how much of what we call “reality” is merely a web of illusions—identities, fears, and appearances we’ve unconsciously created—and how to transcend them. 

He explores the illusion of identity, the toxicity of overthinking, and why reason and rationality can trap us in limitation. Jim also shares how to shift out of appearances and reclaim your awareness as the creator of your experience. And, in true Don Juan fashion, he closes with a blunt reminder: we don’t get what we want in life because we’re being ridiculous—stuck in self-doubt and fear. 

If you’re ready to stop being ruled by fear, logic, or other people’s expectations, this episode is your invitation to rise above the illusions that keep you small and embrace the truth of who you really are—pure, creative consciousness. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

• Replacing one illusion with another (02:52) Jim explains why most people simply trade one illusionary identity for another—and how to connect instead to the most empowering truth: that you are infinite intelligence. 

• The toxicity of reason and rationality (12:01) Discover how overthinking, analysis, and constant reasoning can block intuition and spiritual flow—and why true awareness comes from sensing, not thinking. 

• We are slaves to appearances (21:19) Jim reveals how focusing on appearances—money, health, or status—traps you in limitation, and why awareness of your creative power is the only true freedom. 

• You don’t get what you want because you’re ridiculous (31:20) Learn Don Juan’s hard-hitting lesson about “ridiculousness”—the self-talk and beliefs that make you doubt your worth, potential, and power. 

• Reclaiming your divine identity (37:03) Jim summarizes how recognizing yourself as consciousness—the ultimate power in the universe—dissolves fear and transforms how you live, act, and create. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway 

Your reality is built from your attention. When you stop overthinking, stop reacting to appearances, and remember you are infinite intelligence, everything changes. You are not your illusions. You are the creator behind them. Drop the ridiculous stories, trust your higher awareness, and step boldly into 2026 as the conscious, limitless being you truly are.
