The Jim Fortin Podcast

Start Your Transformation NowDo you feel like you don't fully understand reality? Have you ever sensed there might be more to life than what you perceive with your five physical senses?In this very insightful episode, I am joined by spiritual teacher and bestselling author Gary Zukav. Along the way, we have an expansive conversation exploring topics like authentic power, emotional awareness, spiritual partnership, and moving beyond five sensory perception into multi-sensory living. Gary shares profound insights from his spiritual journey and decades of experience guiding others.Gary recounts his journey starting from writing about quantum physics in The Dancing Wu Li Masters to reach a deeper understanding of reality and human consciousness. He discusses key quantum physics experiments and how the contradictory results point to the existence of duality. This leads to a realization that we can only see reality based on how we choose to observe and measure it. Building on the physics concepts, he asserts that humanity is undergoing an epic transformation from five sensory perception to becoming multi-sensory. He sees this as the next phase of evolution to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning and purpose of life. It requires moving from external power based on manipulation and control to authentic power aligned with the soul.Gary touches on his prolific appearances on the Oprah Winfrey Show, which started organically from a shared sense of spiritual mission. He reflects on how much Oprah resonated with his message around intention and authenticity. He talks about reaching beyond language and labels to connect with universal truths that all traditions point to – light, compassion, inclusiveness, and love.Transformational Takeaway: We’re awakening to deeper realities beyond the five senses. By distinguishing love from fear within ourselves, we can override fearful reactions and act from love instead. This alignment of our personality with our soul creates “authentic power” and profoundly transforms us. What steps can you take today to fulfill this within yourself? Mentioned Resources:seatofthesoul.comGet Unstuck ChallengeGary Zukav BooksDisclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowIn this milestone 300th episode, I guide you through a deep exploration of the stories you've been telling yourself and how they shape your life, circumstances, and outcomes. We delve into identifying a challenging situation from the past year and understanding how your internal narratives influenced it.This episode emphasizes a crucial truth: your stories construct your reality. To transform any area of your life, it's essential to change the underlying stories that define it.Here are some things to keep in mind and consider: Everything you tell yourself is a story that influences your experiences Your stories directly create your life circumstances Shift the narrative to reinvent outcomes During the episode, I examine limiting stories that impact relationships, money, health, and more. I stress noticing the repeated tales we accept as truth, though they hinder us. Past events or suggestions from authority figures often plant restrictive assumptions we carry for years. Here are a few more things to consider and evaluate: Relationships suffer when we refuse to confront our self-limiting narratives Health improves dramatically when dropping assumption-laden medical stories Money flourishes for those who edit scarcity-based internal dialogues So, how did we ‘Burn Our Stories’? I lead my listeners through a cathartic exercise – writing down their limiting stories and burning them. This act releases associated emotions while imagining a new reality unencumbered by past constraints. Fire's symbolic purification clears space for crafting empowering narratives.  Here’s what’s KEY about this exercise: Writing down feelings around confining stories brings clarity The ritual burning cleanses energy to enable forward movement Mindfully focusing on releasing the past is profoundly liberating Transformational Takeaway: Our stories shape our worlds and realities. What limiting tales still live within, keeping you stuck? How would your life transform by reinventing these narratives? Mentioned Resources:Episode Downloads:Burn Your Stories PDFGet Unstuck ChallengeOther:DR.

Start Your Transformation NowDo you ever feel like you're just along for the ride when it comes to your spiritual journey? How would you feel if you had made your own breakthrough?In this episode, I focus on taking responsibility for your spiritual growth and evolution versus living out of ego-based convenience. We’ll explore how to balance the dualistic aspects of being both a physical and energetic being, and how taking responsibility for integrating higher spiritual wisdom can lead to profound growth. So, what are some things to consider about this concept? We are both physical (body/ego) and energetic/spiritual (divine essence) simultaneously. The body is a “container” for the divine self. However, most let the ego/body control the higher divine self. This is like a 3-year-old controlling someone with a PhD. We must balance the higher and lower aspects of ourselves to live fully. True responsibility means causing something to happen. If you don't have what you want, you are not taking responsibility.When given spiritual wisdom, it's the teacher's responsibility to share it. It then becomes your responsibility to apply it. Many gather information but don't grow because they don't integrate it. Taking action is key.Convenience keeps us stuck in the limited physical/ego self rather than the expansive divine. Spiritual growth often requires inconvenience and discomfort to elevate higher. But it's necessary for evolution.The divine self doesn't care about the convenience of the body/ego. Prioritizing convenience hurts your evolution.Transformational Takeaway: Your evolution depends on taking true responsibility for your spiritual growth. Don’t let ego-convenience pull you off your path. Live with purpose. What areas of spiritual responsibility have you been avoiding due to convenience and how can you courageously integrate more spiritual wisdom into your daily life?Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowDo you find yourself in a whirlwind of thoughts revolving around our chaotic world? Like it bleeds over into personal parts of your life that it shouldn’t? In this thought-provoking episode, I discuss what my shaman mentor Don Javier sees happening in the world right now and share ideas for how you can thrive despite the chaos and uncertainty. The main theme is maintaining inner peace and operating from a higher vibration to navigate external turmoil.The children being born today are coming in with higher energy frequencies, which we're seeing evidence of in the rise of autism spectrum disorders. To me, this indicates humanity is evolving energetically as a species. The challenge is that these higher-frequency kids often struggle to integrate into our lower-frequency 3D world.As bioelectromagnetic beings, we're influenced by shifts happening in the planet's electromagnetic fields. The erratic energetics of the poles shifting affect our emotions and stability. Staying grounded and focused on higher frequencies like love, joy, and peace helps counter the destabilizing effect.Profit motives, human ego, and fear-mongering drive much of the chaos we're seeing play out in the world today. The news media and big industries financially benefit from keeping people afraid. Maintaining the perspective that you're an infinite soul having a temporary human experience helps detach from fear-based narratives.Transformational Takeaway: During turbulent times, elevating your vibration is crucial for inner peace. Ponder how you can shift your perspective to come from your highest identity rather than getting caught up in chaotic externals. Ask yourself, “What would my soul be advising me to do right now?” and “How can I be a force of compassion in the world?” The more you focus on raising your own consciousness, the more you can positively impact the collective.Mentioned Resources:Magnetic Pole Shift – A Doomsday Scenario?Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Discover the hidden secret to wealth and abundance by helping others and embracing abundance. Learn about money as energy and the law of attraction.

Start Your Transformation NowHave you ever thought about life as being like a game? I don't mean board games or video games, but more like the “game of life” we are all playing every day on this planet. We follow certain rules, take on roles, and have different beliefs that shape how we play. In this unique episode, we’ll explore the idea that we actually have a choice when it comes to the “game” we play. So, what’s the difference between playing the “human game” with its restrictive rules and playing the “spiritual/cosmic game”?The human game leads to struggle, while the cosmic game recognizes our infinite abilities to create, heal, and manifest.Most people play the limiting human game that they are born into and never question the rules.The cosmic game taps into our divine eternal nature beyond the 3D physical reality.Identifying when you've slipped into playing the human game is the first step to realigning with your cosmic consciousness.I share how we can shift out of the toxic human game and into the expansive cosmic game through developing mantras and habits of mind. As we cover that together, I provide examples of mantras to repeat when struggling with fear, doubt, or other low vibrational emotions.Mantras help disrupt negative thought patterns and reconnect you to your highest self.Focus on the “always fine” cosmic perspective rather than human drama.You are a creator – if you made it, you can unmake it.The more we balance the cosmic and human games, the more empowered, peaceful, and purposeful our lives become. Be mindful of when you are playing the limiting human game and use mantras and a higher perspective to shift back into your divine power.Transformational Takeaway: Life is a game – but you get to make the rules. Choose the cosmic game and unlock your infinite potential. Shift your perspective and change your world. How might your life change if you created your own rules?Mentioned Resources:Carl Sagan – Pale Blue DotLet's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Start Your Transformation NowAre You Doing the Tango of Life Backwards? In this episode, I explore the idea that life is like a dance with the universe. Many people are not “tangoing” with life and the universe in the right way to get the results they want. We often think the universe “has our back” and will give us what we want. But, the truth is the universe reflects us back to ourselves.The universe doesn't test you; it mirrors you. Your external experience reflects your inner consciousness and vibration.To change your life, you must take 100% responsibility for your emotional state and vibration. Taking “responsibility” means actively causing something to happen.If you haven't achieved what you want in life, it's because you haven't taken full ownership of making it happen.You must manage your thinking and feelings to emit the frequency that attracts what you desire.Trying to force your desired reality often backfires. Allow what is while holding the vision for what you want.Fighting life lowers your vibration and brings more of what you're fighting against.Acceptance and non-resistance are key.Transformational Takeaway: When we resist “what is,” we lower our vibration and attract more of what we don’t want. How can you allow the present moment and release the struggle? What higher vision for your life can you connect to that elevates your frequency? How can you tango with life in a new way that serves your growth and evolution?Mentioned Resources:The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge by Carlos Castanedajimfortin.com/tcpDisclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I will earn a small commission if you make a purchase.Let's Connect: Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.
