This may be hard to swallow, however, your truth, and what you currently believe to be the truth is actually inaccurate and simply an opinion of yours that you hold – it is not Truth. See, the Truth is belligerent. The Truth is uncomfortable, it is what is “real”, is “accurate”, and it is not open to interpretation. It is not an opinion, thought, perspective, experience, belief, or representation either formed or portrayed by humans. The Truth is universal for all humans it is what objectively “is”. With this in mind you can see how the majority of humans are living more in imagination than they are in reality. If you want to discover Truth and develop your own life for the better, you will love the depth of this week’s conversation.

Every Thursday I release a solocast, where I share my mental musings, my pontifications, and my passions about something inside of our wellness pentagon, the mental physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial ways of being, tools, and resources that can actually help us move the needle on the ground here with us in the 3-D planet earth. There's a lot of content on the Internet and here on Spotify and Apple that really commoditizes spirituality, but it is my promise to deliver to you today zero appropriation or commoditization and 100% value when it comes to how to identify if you yourself or someone in your life is in need of a rite of passage, what the significance in the meaning of a rite of passage is for both men and women, and lastly, what your ancestors are trying to tell you sometimes with a whisper, and sometimes with a sledgehammer in the stages of your life.   [02:18] Traditional Rite Of Passage So let's begin. What exactly is a rite of passage and why is it important for you to know? “The critical problems of becoming male and female, relations within the family, and passing into old age, are directly related to the devices which the society offers the individual to help him achieve the new adjustment.” - Arnold Van Gennep, The Rites of Passage, 1908. Throughout human history, rites of passage have functioned as a tool of maturation for individual renewal and cultural cohesion. To contrast, it is the modernity of western society that provides little to no structure whatsoever for transitioning from one life phase to the next. As a result, without access to solid rituals, young people are desolate, lost, and confused about how to move in a conscious and confident way into the responsibility of being an adult. A right of passage is characterized by three distinct phases that follow Joseph Campbell is hero's journey. The first is separation, where you leave the familiar the next is transition or initiation, which is a time of testing learning and uncomfortable growth, and lastly, the return, which is the incorporation and integration of lessons learned to share with family, friends, and community. Traditionally, a rite of passage is a ritual event that marks a human's transition between childhood and adulthood connection to themselves and to a tribe or social group. A few examples of a right of passage could be an African lion hunt, the ancient Spartans, as seen in the film 300, land diving, which is done by the tribes in the Pacific islands, as well as a bullet ant glove of Brazil, where the Amazonian tribes perform an initiation ritual, forcing young men to place their hands into gloves, filled with hundreds and hundreds of bullet ants for 20 times more pain than being stung by a wasp. Another example could be taking a daughter or son to kill their first animal in a sacred way like a deer elk or moose hunt. And lastly, there is in my opinion, nothing more powerful for us here in the United States than a Vision Quest that is inspired by Native American traditions. Which is 10 days long with 3 days upfront of ego shedding, and intention setting, followed by 100+ hours of fasting completely alone in nature with zero distractions, that's right – no Food no Fire no tent no phone no electronics no writing absolutely nothing besides, you, water, and your breath and thoughts.   [05:55] Women's Right Of Passage So now that we have explored the different aspects and definitions of a right of passage, let's talk about how this right of passage applies to women as well. Obviously, there is the beginning of menstruation or in the Mexican culture, they have the Quinceanera, the celebration of a girl's 15th birthday, marking her passage from girlhood to womanhood. But how often do mothers give that to daughters in the western Caucasian culture? Across the world, the feminine traditions of separation, initiation, and return, have been replaced with magazines and social media, and the comparison of young girls' bodies to movie stars. Our traditions and rituals for women have been replaced with comparison and shame by the mass media, so that women can be monetized and shamed about the way their body looks or if they actually want to be a mother. You'll definitely want to check out JoshTrent.com/494 for our episode with Sal Di Stefano from Mind Pump for a deeper dive into this exact topic.   [07:38] Are You In Need Of A Rite Of Passage? So, how to identify if you yourself, or someone in your life is in need of a rite of passage? Here are the behaviors to look out for in young men, and unfortunately, even older men who themselves were never taught by their fathers or tribe how to go through a heroes journey of rite of passage: They exhibit a "high chair tyrant" archetype, where nothing could be delivered to them, fast enough, or get enough. You'll know these people when they hide behind a cloak of perfection, and their demands on others are articulated with intensity and anger. Next is that they seem lost in their career or purpose, easily switching from one thing to the next, and never staying still for too long. Their lives are filled with instant gratification, and as soon as things get challenging, they quit or turn the cheek the other way. They have no sense of honor for themselves, they suffer from low self-worth or even self-hatred. They long for positive male figure role models, or female, figure role models, and they project their mother or father wounding onto these role models, unconsciously. Lastly, a symptom of a human being in need of a right of passage is a deep well of hurt in their soul, and the longing for connection to a higher power, to the creator.   [09:59] Native Americans And Their Right Of Passage Traditions Now that you know the symptoms and the definition in regards to the right of passage, what is the solution, how does a human being take action, and place themself in the fire for a coming-of-age tradition otherwise known as a right of passage? Well, first, you must listen to what your ancestors are trying to tell you. For thousands of years, our ancestors have left written, artistic, and even in the past hundreds of years, music and recorded voices that all point towards the clues of how to live life well. But living life well when you are a child, it's different than living life well, when you are an adolescent, teenager, young adult, adult, middle age, elder, and senior. All of these life phases have unique and potent lessons of growth and wisdom if a human being is following the map of how to absorb integrate, and embody the wisdom that our ancestors are sharing with us. Across the world, there are many many clues that our ancestors have given us, but just for simplicity's sake, I will focus on the wisdom of the Native American elders, as an example of what our ancestors are trying to tell us... As I mentioned before a vision quest is a right of passage in some Native American cultures. It is typically only done by young males entering adulthood, but we have seen a resurgence because of the atrophy of young women's traditions around entering womanhood, there are many women who embark on Vision Quest as well. Here are the clues, the lessons, and what our ancestors are, trying to tell us spoken through the four Native American values Harmony with nature, the endurance of suffering, respect and non-interference towards others, and a strong belief that man is inherently good and should be respected for his decisions. Native American values lean toward a cosmic identity, a harmony of the individual with the tribe, the tribe with the land, and the land with the spirit of the universe. Central to this quest for harmony is a sense of constancy – the timelessness and predictability of nature as the foundation of existence. This cycle symbolizes eternity- one reality, and it transcends everything in its absoluteness, giving respect to everything. So these whispers, and sometimes the sledgehammers that come, not just from the Native American values, but also from the European, and basically in every continent of the world, the values of our ancestors are always around us if we can be still enough to hear them. Here are some signs that it is time for you, yourself, or someone you know to embark upon a rite of passage, whether they are 13, 15, 55, or 65 there is never a wrong time to embark upon a right of passage. If you cannot remember the last time, you spent time by yourself, or time by yourself in nature, and even the thought of you, being in nature, makes you feel uncomfortable, or brings up fear, it is time for your rite of passage. When you hear the word family, you get uncomfortable or you have a view of what a family actually is, or when you do your emotional inventory process if the sound of the word family makes you angry or sad, it is time to do a rite of passage. If you only are working for retirement, and the thought of working for a purpose is completely foreign to you, it is time to do it right of passage. If you are a hard follower of rules, and you never push your edge, and always be a good little boy, or a good little girl, if you have no idea about the thrill of breaking rules, or the thought of breaking rules, or even questioning authority, scares you, it is time to embark upon a right of passage. And lastly, if you are focused on the youth and you compare yourself to how life was 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 years ago if you find yourself melancholy and dwelling on the past on a regular basis, and you were unhappy with your present moment and you just can't seem to snap yourself out of depression, or anxiety, it is absolutely 100% time to embark upon a right of passage.   [15:22] A Message To Your Subconscious Mind My intention with this solocast was to speak to a deep place in your heart to talk to your subconscious mind to connect with a part of your soul that I have been disconnected myself from many times in life. But right at this moment I can share with you that my heart and your heart are connected, the fact that you are here, listening to me, we are connected, the fact that anything I'm saying is touching your heart, is making you feel emotions, welling up energy inside of you... That is proof that we are connected. I want to inspire you to reach out to me, admin@wellnessforce.com need support in selecting a right of passage or a vision quest I can connect you personally to two guys who have both been on the wellness and wisdom podcast. And if right now you feel is the time that you want to integrate and go deeper and get more information about a right of passage head over to JoshTrent.com/510 and make sure you click on all the resources and books that I have linked in the blog post. Until I see you again next Week. I'm wishing you love and wellness.

Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy.   PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

Connor Beaton | How To Find The Perfect Partner in 2023: Understand + Integrate Your Shadow

Your shadow has its own intelligence. The shadow is the psychological energy that’s working against you to shut off the pathways towards your goals, aims, and the changes and the love that you want. We need to invite in the intelligence to work with us, to build a relationship with it so it’s not working against us but with us. And when we start to do that, we start to expand consciously and create sovereignty internally. - Connor Beaton Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Why understanding and reclaiming your darkness is an act of strengthening. What it means that your pain has its own intelligence and how your shadow works against you.

How his stepped dad found porn in Connor’s browser history when he was a child. Why searching for alternatives and reasons why you should stop doing something that’s bad for you can be helpful. How porn conditions us to expect an extraordinary experience. The effects of watching porn on intimacy with your partner and why it can lead to sexual dysfunctions. Unconscious incompetence: You don’t know what you don’t know. Admission and confession: The bridge you have to cross in order to create a change in you. How we don’t know how to be with our pain and why we need to turn towards it to understand and accept it. How porn is ritualized and why it’s important to identify the ritual and the feeling before it in order to start healing.   [01:06:55] The Collective Shadow + Loving Stubbornness Why the feminine is the collective shadow according to Connor. What creates a negative internal dialogue: Disconnection from the feminine energy. How the ability to interact with the feminine is related to the internal interaction with the feminine. How external validation can be a sign of negative internal dialogue. The reason he wrote a letter to his son before he was born and the poem of two stubborn hearts he wrote to his wife. Why stubbornness is perceived as bad in our culture but it can be a good thing. What it means to love and show up stubbornly and how it can help us get through our shadows.   [01:16:10] The Lie About The Rational Mind The power of breath: Grounding VS action. How the ability to switch between the light and the dark comes through the breath and the nervous system. Why the rational mind that can solve all problems is a lie sold to men. Ken Wilber Eckhart Tolle Wim Hof Why recording the audiobook was a highlight for Connor. ManTalks Podcast How his podcast allows him to expand his own curiosity and the more he learns, the more people get out of it.   Power Quotes From The Show The Shadow Of The Father Wound "We often get caught demonizing our father and get stuck in his shadow. We become a judge of our father and we sit in a righteous seat when we’re hurt and say “this is how my dad should have parented me.” As if we have any context for his life and what he was going through." - Connor Beaton   Understanding Your Own Darkness “There’s merit in understanding your own darkness because your darkness is still you, a part of who you are. When you start to turn towards your fears, your insecurities, and your doubts, there’s a chance you’ll be able to not only understand those parts of you but also welcome them back in your kingdom.” - Connor Beaton   Move Through Conflict With Your Partner "If you can find somebody that’s along for the ride with you that you respect enough to move through conflict with, you’re much more likely to show up in a respectful way to prioritize figuring out what’s happening within you as a man. And subsequently, become somebody who’s willing to move through conflict themselves." - Connor Beaton   Links From Today's Show  Connor Beaton ManTalks Men's Work: A Practical Guide to Face Your Darkness, End Self-Sabotage, and Find Freedom by Connor Beaton Vienna Pharaon Vienna Pharaon Podcast - Two Books & A Baby: Surviving Hard Times In Your Relationship GQ Magazine 437 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I’m Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… Josh Trent with Aubrey Marcus: Becoming Fit For Fatherhood 490 SOLOCAST | Hypervigilance: The Subconscious Strategy of Survival That Slowly Kills Your Brain on Porn: Internet Pornography and the Emerging Science of Addiction by Gary Wilson Ken Wilber Eckhart Tolle Wim Hof ManTalks Podcast Shop the Wellness Force Media Store breathwork.io Save 20% on LiftMode Products until February 13, 2023 PLUNGE – Save $150 with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" HIGHER DOSE INFRARED MAT - Get 15% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE15“ Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' HVMN - Get 20% off your Ketone IQ order with the code "JOSH" MitoZen – Save 10% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' NOOTOPIA - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products – Save 20% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NEUVANA - Save 15% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ CHILISLEEP - Save 25% on Josh's favorite ChiliSleep products with the code "JOSH" ION - Save 15% off sitewide with the code ‘JOSH1KS' TOUPS - Save 15% with the code "JOSH" Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40′ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase BREATHE - Save 20% by using the code “PODCAST20” Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MY GREEN MATTRESS - Save up to $125 on your order with the code "JOSH" NEUROHACKER - Save 15% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATER - Save 33% on your first order with the code "JOSH33" M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness + Wisdom a review on Apple Podcasts Connor Beaton Facebook Instagram Twitter ManTalks Facebook YouTube Instagram   About Connor Beaton Connor Beaton, the founder of ManTalks. He was raised to believe that being a man meant you had to follow certain rules. The most notable one is like the first rule of Fight Club: don’t talk about it. For most of his life, he believed all men had the same rule. Shut up and deal with it. Man up. Over the next few years, he learned to take his trauma, shame, and denial—all the shadowy parts of himself—and integrate them. He spent thousands of hours learning and training. He consulted psychologists, historians, neurologists, and authors. Connor trained for years under mentors and leaders in Jungian psychology, somatic therapy, and holotropic breathwork. He even apprenticed under a disciple of Carl Jung himself. In 2014, Connor founded ManTalks as a grassroots movement to further the cause: giving men the tools and training to create a truly self-led life.

How To Learn To Breathe Correctly Again & Drastically Improve Every Aspect Of Life With Breathwork Expert Josh Trent (Josh As Guest: The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast)

In this Friday's rebroadcast, I joined Lauryn Evarts Bosstick and Michael Bosstick on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her Podcast to share: The differences between vertical breathing, circular breathing & box breathing. We learn to breathe from our parents as babies. Babies are born breathing through their nose & as life goes on we essentially forget we have a nose. Mouth breathing is a coping mechanism.

SOLOCAST | Self-Sabotage: Why We Do It + How to Stop the Cycle

Wellness + Wisdom Podcast Host and Wellness Force Media CEO, Josh Trent, shares how to identify and get rid of self-sabotage. In this solocast, you will learn: How self-sabotage unconsciously hinders our success. Why wounded ego is the reason why we self-sabotage. The disconnect between what we want and how we show up in our life. How we act out unconsciously what we see from our parents until we heal. The way intimate relationships can drive low insecure attachment style, self-worth, fear of getting heartbroken, and fear of commitment. Cognitive dissonance: Holding two conflicting ideas at the same time, one being conscious and the other one unconscious. How self-sabotage leads to chronic struggles. Procrastination and perfectionism: Trauma response and defense mechanism. How breathing and being still stops self-sabotage, and why we need the courage to turn toward the root of the repeated cycle. What is our self-sabotage wanting to teach us? Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Whether you're hearing this live on the day it's published or years from now, it still has the same weight and the capacity to uplevel and change your life. That is my promise that by the end of this solocast, I'm going to give you an actionable guide, as well as some science and spirituality behind self-sabotage, why we do it, and how we stop the cycle. How do we unhinge from the very thing that we know is causing us pain but we just aren't aware of what the root of that thing actually is? Well, it may seem shocking some people undermined their own good intentions and long-term success goals because self-sabotage occurs in the shadows when people hinder their own success, and take destructive steps without actually knowing it. Maybe some deeper part of them knows it because their harmful behavior shows up as the results of their lives with negative impacts in nearly every part of their existence, including money, relationships, career health... You name it. Self-sabotage shows up in so many deleterious ways.   [01:15] Unconscious Destructive Behaviour So first, let's go over why people self-sabotage. People, unconsciously block their progress for so many different types of reasons. They may consciously or unconsciously commit these acts of self-sabotage and the causes range from childhood issues, epigenetics, emotional epigenetics, prior relationships, and heartbreak essentially all the ways that the ego that is wounded tries to stay safe. Other reasons for this destructive behavior stems from low self-esteem, or a sense of not being good enough and coping with cognitive dissonance, which I'll go into in a moment. So if we know what we want and we know what we don't want, then why is there a disconnect between our embodiment of how we show up in the world, and the results of our life? In other words, if we know what we don't want and what we do want then why do we continue to receive what we don't? Well, I will share with you that people who self-sabotage may be aware of their actions, for example, somebody who is overweight and on a diet might consciously sabotage their efforts by eating a whole chocolate cake or staying up till 4 AM, and then eating a whole pizza. Or they might act from an unconscious place where they miss a work deadline which on the surface it seems like they were running late, but the truth is they are afraid of failure, so the human being self-sabotage is by unconsciously missing the due date and bypasses their goal to advance in the company. Difficult childhood growing up in a dysfunctional family can contribute towards a proclivity towards self-sabotage. We act out unconsciously what we see from our parents so without a secure attachment style you might have an ambivalent or vacillation or avoidant attachment style. It's because our earliest engagement and lessons from our parents and caregivers drastically impacted how we connect to ourselves and others. Take an inventory right now, take a deep breath. There's something that you wanted from the solocast and this is the core of how you get it. Question: Did your parents tell you growing up that you'll never amount to much or that you're not good enough or did you have people in your life when you were growing up especially ages 3 through 7, but even 7 through 18, those are the very formative years where neuroplasticity and neurogenesis are in full speed from a brain perspective. In childhood, we are delicate like a rose and require water, sunlight, and nourishment, and if we don't get that emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally, then unconsciously, we will act out the exact situations in childhood from an unconscious space until they get healed.   [04:32] Relationships And Self Sabotage Here's your first action step: take an emotional inventory. I've talked about this in-depth on the Hypervigilance Solocast, which you can access at JoshTrent.com/490, and also the Emotional Epigenetics Solocast a JoshTrent.com/499 these are two huge scaffoldings that will help you understand this podcast and give you more context on what I am teaching today. Another core root of self-sabotage has been difficult relationships. For example, if your ex-partner consistently put you down, you still might feel bruised or broken in this way. Based on a recent scientific study on self-sabotage from Cambridge University, psychologists who specialized in intimate relationships in Australia identified the main issues for the recurrence of self-sabotage in romantic relationships. The reasons included insecure attachment style, low self-worth, the fear of having their heart broken, fear of commitment, unhealthy, toxic beliefs about relationships, they learn from their parents and society, and coping problems when it relates to matters of the heart. And, lastly, at the root is cognitive dissonance or the mental discomfort that a human being may have when they hold two conflicting ideas at the same time. Humans are pleasure-seeking, and pain-avoidant creatures, who like to have consistency between their beliefs and actions. As an example, if you marry someone you love, but you come from a dysfunctional family where your dad left and your mother went from one abusive stepfather or boyfriend to another… You unconsciously, don't believe in a stable, loving marriage yet continue to plan the wedding and send invitations. Here's another example related to work when it comes to cognitive dissonance. You are about to land a huge client and earn the most money you've ever earned but rather than do what it takes to close the deal you hold yourself back because you don't feel worthy. You might even get drunk the night before or miss the meeting with the potential client completely, and rather than of had to take action to literally shoot yourself in the foot, because on a deep level, you don't feel worthy. Self-sabotage leads to chronic struggles with sex, pornography, drugs, food, alcohol, gambling, shopping, workaholism, and even self-injury. This destructive behavior has topical roots to exactly what we will talk about next.   [08:31] Procrastination + Perfectionism Now that we've gone over the science of self-sabotage, let's talk about procrastination and perfectionism, which are really equally deleterious and equally challenging to hold. It has been said that perfectionism is really just a trauma response. A great resource for this is if you head over to JoshTrent.com/461, where I can quote Dr. Wendy Myers: "For many people, perfectionism is a response to trauma. It's not that you just want to do everything perfectly. It's a defense mechanism we create, which can lead to a negative mindset and a constant inner critic." Holding oneself to an impossible standard causes delays in setbacks. Well, it seems like such a positive thing to aim for things to go as planned without any problems, perfectionism is really a belief that if you're seen as imperfect, then you won't be loved. And that's at the bottom of it for me and for all of us. Then there's procrastination, procrastination is a way you show others you're never ready and put off taking your time and being mindful until the last second so you can get that huge rush of energy because really you don't trust yourself to do it without a state of stress. I can see from my own journey with procrastination. It really came from me not feeling that I could handle at all without the stress hormones that drove me to push me beyond my beliefs, and it wasn't until I got down to the core beliefs that if I didn't make as much money as my father than I wouldn't be loved or if I didn't look a certain way physically, then I wouldn't be excepted or sexually attractive all of these things… They lead to procrastination because it is the unconscious projection of the self into the conscious action. [10:38] How To Stop The Self-Sabotage Cycle Now let's break down the spirituality. Whether you believe in past life regression or epigenetic emotional transfer, where five generations of mice have been proven in scientific studies to exhibit trauma-based behavior, you have to realize that in this lifetime there is so much more than you see. So your next action step when it comes to a spiritual inventory of why you self-sabotage, and how to stop the cycle is to simply breathe and be still. You heard that right, breathe and be still. You're with me right now for a reason otherwise you would not be hearing my voice and so I'd like you to take three deep breaths with me. Now, after these three deep breaths, put your hand on your body where you feel the most pressure or tension, or discomfort. Maybe it's your hips, your glutes, your stomach, your throat, your forehead, your shoulders... Wherever you feel the most tension, go there right now and do three more deep breaths. Notice, the voice that I speaking to you is the same voice that is inside of you because you and I all come from the same place, the same creator of the same omnipresent, loving energy that has created all things and always has been. Let go of any dogmatism, religious training, spiritual or amygdala hijacking from the media, and just be with me right now take three more deep breaths. Notice, the only way you can stop a cycle from repeating is to have the courage to turn towards where the cycle comes from in the first place. And when it comes to spiritual inventory, the first place you must begin is at the altar of humility and forgiveness. Yes, people can treat self-sabotage by examining the root causes and stopping procrastination and looking at the bigger picture, and potentially even letting go of perfectionism as a coping mechanism for trauma. But the deeper more spiritual questions, you can ask right now in the stillness with your hand on your heart and the breath in your lungs is this. What is my self-sabotage wanting to teach me? (You may sit with this for moments or hours.) Is this feeling familiar? Have I felt this feeling before and can I go to the very first time I ever felt this feeling, right now? Can I trust myself to go to the very first time I ever felt this feeling right now? This memory, this event that you have been carrying for so long is asking for forgiveness and possibly asking for rest. In order to rest, you must lay something down, you must let go. What is it that you must let go of, and how can you ask the creator to give you the courage to let it go? And now we are at the end of our time together but we will return next week for another series of emotional intelligence to support you on your path And as we say goodbye notice you are loved you are supported, and with the right questions in the right stillness you can hear the voice of God, the creator, and you will always be on the right path.   Links From Today's Show  JoshTrent.com/490 JoshTrent.com/499 JoshTrent.com/461 Shop the Wellness Force Store breathwork.io Save 20% on LiftMode Products until February 13, 2023 PLUNGE – Save $150 with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" HIGHER DOSE INFRARED MAT - Get 15% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE15“ Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MitoZen – Save 10% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' NOOTOPIA - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products – Save 20% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NEUVANA - Save 15% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ CHILISLEEP - Save 25% on Josh's favorite ChiliSleep products with the code "JOSH" ION - Save 15% off sitewide with the code ‘JOSH1KS' TOUPS - Save 15% with the code "JOSH" Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40′ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase BREATHE - Save 20% by using the code “PODCAST20” Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MY GREEN MATTRESS - Save up to $125 on your order with the code "JOSH" NEUROHACKER - Save 15% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATER - Save 33% on your first order with the code "JOSH33" M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness + Wisdom a review on Apple Podcasts   Shop the BEST Organic Snacks at PaleoValley   Save 15% with the code 'JOSH'   PaleoValley's 100% Grass-Fed Beef Sticks Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef and organic spices that are naturally fermented. Their 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are unlike anything else on the market. In fact, they were recently voted in Paleo Magazine as one of the top snacks of the year. The reason is that they are committed to making the highest quality, clean products that are free from problematic ingredients. Their beef comes from 100% grass fed cows raised entirely on natural grass pastures by family farmers right here in the USA. As a result they are healthy and happy.   PaleoValley's Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks Paleovalley Pasture-Raised Turkey Sticks were created to make healthy snacking easier. Their turkey sticks are made from turkeys who are allowed to live as nature intended... on organic grass pastures with plenty of sunshine, fresh air and room to exercise. The result of raising turkeys in such a natural way is a much healthier, clean protein with higher levels of vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.

Vylana Marcus | Can Pure Eroticism: Higher Consciousness? Why All Is Sacred, Goddess Archetypes + How To Be In Your Full F*ck

We can learn a lot about eroticism through our sexual nature but it is not the only way that we can experience Eros in life. If you think of your most exciting sexual experiences where you were just in your most vital, primal nature, where the rapture is so expansive and insatiable until you reach this moment of climax where you’re meeting God, and everything feels like light is exploding all over the place, and your brain entirely turns off. If you think of those moments and you apply the same kind of idea to a regular moment that has nothing to do with sex at all, what kind of vibration are you inviting into a space if you're doing that? - Vylana Marcus Are You Stressed Out Lately?

Why sexual and non-sexual pleasure is purifying to Vylana. Polarity and the cycle of life: Why destruction is necessary for creation. What it means that pleasure can be found within the desire, and how heartfelt desires guide us to our truth. Experiencing the richness of aliveness: Why we shouldn’t only focus on pleasure. What happens when you’re not connected to your pleasure. The more you can be intimate with yourself, the greater your life can be. Why being of service and being vulnerable and honest are the tools to live life well to Vylana. How vulnerability and honesty can shift other people’s lives.   Power Quotes From The Show The Transmutation "When the energy has the permission to fully move in this full cycle where you’re holding nothing back, what typically happens is that it unveils the sadness, and the grief, and the fear that anger is protecting. The energy of your tears is the transmutation." - Vylana Marcus   Light And Dark Sides "I can stand here and look at you, and I have done the work to know so deeply who I am in all of my light and my dark, and I know who I am enough to set a boundary and say, 'No, I don’t accept to participate in the world in this way against the patriarchy.' " - Vylana Marcus   Being Of The Highest Service "How can I be of the highest service at this time, in this present moment? It’s not a practice that’s reaching, and grabbing, and trying to push forward, and make it happen. If you're really in that kind of energy, it takes away your ability to listen to the more subtle whispers. When you’re pushing and being so active like that, the tendency is for it to come through your mind. There's so much more that we have available if we can slow down, listen for a moment, and actually ask for guidance through our heart." - Vylana Marcus   Links From Today's Show  Vylana Rise Of The Goddess (Film) Goddess Rise (Album) by Vylana 123 Aubrey Marcus: Own The Day Hawaiian Goddess Madame Pele Hindu Goddess Kali Ma Into The Fire (Song) by Vylana 437 Josh Trent | Death & Rebirth: Why I’m Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force… The Sofia Code by Kaia Ra 422 Ian Clark | 1,000 Days To Live: Using Nature’s Wisdom to Turn on Your Wellness Epigenetics Rabbi Marc Gafni Layla Martin Pussy: A Reclamation by Regena Thomashauer 369 Paul Chek | All Is God: Three Part Series The Red Book by Carl Jung How To Prepare For True Love with Aubrey & Vylana Marcus | Aubrey Marcus Podcast Shop the Wellness Force Media Store breathwork.io PLUNGE – Save $150 with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" HIGHER DOSE INFRARED MAT - Get 15% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE15“ Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MitoZen – Save 10% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' NOOTOPIA - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products – Save 20% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NEUVANA - Save 15% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ CHILISLEEP - Save 25% on Josh's favorite ChiliSleep products with the code "JOSH" ION - Save 15% off sitewide with the code ‘JOSH1KS' TOUPS - Save 15% with the code "JOSH" Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40′ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase BREATHE - Save 20% by using the code “PODCAST20” Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MY GREEN MATTRESS - Save up to $125 on your order with the code "JOSH" NEUROHACKER - Save 15% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATER - Save 33% on your first order with the code "JOSH33" M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness + Wisdom a review on Apple Podcasts Vylana Instagram YouTube Fit For Service   ABOUT VYLANA MARCUS Vylana Marcus is a medicine woman, singer, Tahitian dancer, and Fit For Service fellowship coach.

What the heck is vibration? Today on Solocast, I'm going to answer that question in depth and so much more. As I talk about the true essence behind frequency. We all know about the levels of consciousness that we've heard about with the lower self-being 20 resonating shame or 1,000 for consciousness when you look at David Hawkins's work. But beyond Hawkins's work in the levels of consciousness, what does it mean when your nervous system, your mind, and really the essence of your soul get a good gut feeling or a bad guy feeling about a person, place, or thing? By the end of the Solocast, my promise to you is that you'll have a true understanding of Hawkins's levels of consciousness, how this relates to your own personal life, and most importantly what you can do with this concept of vibration to bring you more fulfillment in the five aspects of your wellness pentagon. If you're joining us for the first time, this may or may not be the best place for you to start you can check out our full guest interviews every Tuesday and on Thursdays, we do this Solocast, which is like the mental musings where I get to pontificate and project all the things that I am fascinated about when it comes to wellness. So if you're a wellness dork or if you're an enthusiast like me, every single episode on Thursday is going to be really really good because it's just me going forward with notes and kind of off-the-cuff, really authentic, sometimes vulnerable. I've cried in a few Solocasts, which is a good thing, especially for men.   [01:50] Emotional Frequency Scale So you heard that right? Everybody has a vibe that impacts us. What does frequency actually mean? Are you aware that in the world the globe vibrates at a hertz frequency that's either subtle, imperceptible, or corresponds to an individual vibration? Sometimes unnoticeable. You read that correctly. Everybody has a basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the rest but when life events occurred, and emotions are involved this vibrational rate changes dramatically and quickly. So, just like a child, which is the best way to learn; approach things with a heart and mind of a child, and as an adult with your own life experience, the big question for me is when it comes to frequency or emotional frequency: What is the missing link between heart rate variability, resting metabolic rate, otherwise known as RMR, and vibration to create vibrant health? Essentially, what can we learn about heart rate variability, resting metabolic rate, and the emotional frequency scale, or vibration in order for us to connect the dots and create better health from how our emotions dictate, and vice versa, our physiology? The snake eating its tail... Due to its potential to really make you a better version of yourself, it's crucial to comprehend the emotional frequency chart. Let's talk about this, I'm going to reference this at JoshTrent.com/504. There is a map here from nondualitylife.com to give them credit, it is a wonderful map. At the bottom of it is shame, at the top, it is full consciousness. What does that really mean? It means that every emotion has a frequency that it vibrates at and that we experience. In other words, a level of consciousness. I believe that Hawkins measured this in consciousness but you and I can also measure this in hertz. Hertz is something that tracks how many times something moves in one second. We've all heard about the Schumann resonance, or 432 frequency, or 556. There are many different frequencies that are used for Binaural Beats and Isochronic technology for giving people relaxation and the nervous system through sound. But how does understanding the emotional frequency chart help you become a better you? In today's society, people really aren't taught important life skills. Definitely not in school, and sometimes not at home, except for in our homes because you and I are very conscious so we do teach emotional frequency. And I'm going to unpack the layers of this today but a bigger question rises here as we pause.   [04:40] David Hawkins + Expression Of Our True Nature Now that you know the frequency chart from Hawkins and you understand that this level of consciousness can go all the way down to 20 Hz or 20 vibrations per second to 1000 vibrations per second for, a consciousness. What do all the stages between 20 and 1,000 truly mean? The victim abuse or consciousness from 20 Hz all the way to 200 the self-empowerment from 250 all the way to 400. And of course, the self-realization from 440 all the way to 1,000 is what allows people to go from hell to purgatory in between paradise and heaven. This is the conceptual framework that was developed by David Hawkins MD Ph.D. after a ton of research over 40 years of research. It looks at various mental states and psychological states as they connect to, and corresponds to the different levels of consciousness from 20 to 1,000. The approach is not very new anymore but it was new when it first came out. It is very much in line with the current wisdom traditions where higher levels of consciousness are used to correspondingly connect to greater psychological integration, and really just harmony with life. This conceptual approach delineates how one moves from the lower self or the smaller self. The lower one takes more scarcity-based states of consciousness to a higher self, or what Hawkins calls the absolute high. And through this journey, various conditionings, some scars along with different impurities, start to melt away. In the process really dismantles and purifies human beings allowing for a greater expression of our true nature, the level of the human. The model is an expression of the relative, so it is not to be taken as the expression of absolute truth, because we fluctuate through this level of consciousness, all day long. There are certain people, though that have certain characteristics of always being negative, always vibrating down at the victim consciousness, and we feel tired because I know you can relate to this when we are in their presence.   [06:57] Resting Metabolic Rate We know that the resting metabolic rate is a number that dictates how many calories a human being will consume completely at rest with no fidgeting, no exercise, just if you were to sit on the couch for the entire day, sleep, eat food, drink water, and literally not lift a finger for an entire 24 hour period. That would be your resting metabolic rate. So what is it that dictates are resting metabolic rate? Well, science would say it's your height, weight, age, gender, ethnicity, diet, activity level, and muscle... But I also believe that the thermic effect of food and a concept called the non-exercise movement or non-exercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT), which is fascinating. This is knowledge from my old personal training days… So to calculate RMR, you would essentially put your factors into a calculator and you get a caloric number somewhere around 2000 cal or so depending on your physiology. So the answer to this, and this is what I'm going to prove to you today on this podcast... if somebody eats a perfect caloric diet and they are exercising well and they're doing the mouth of calories in calories out with their RMR then why is it that people still don't lose weight or gain muscle? What I'm going to hypothesize today is that you trust the connection between emotional frequency, HRV, RMR, and how every single one of them affects one another.   [08:33] Heart Rate Variability Let's go into an HRV. Now that we've talked about RMR, HRV is heart rate variability. It is the amount of time in between the beats of your heart and sciences show that a greater score of HRV can be in prime indicator of how long you live, how healthy you'll be, and even four diseases and afflictions like CHD, diabetes, and so many more. So now that you know what HRV is what increases your HRV score? In other words, what gives you a more diverse score around HRV? With HRV being the measure of variations in between each heartbeat measured in time, this variation is controlled by a very ancient part of the nervous system, called the autonomic nervous system, otherwise known as the ANS. We've talked about the autonomic nervous system very in-depth in our BREATHE: Breath & Wellness program, which you can be a part of. This conversation is geared towards that because I believe it is the breath that can set you free, and it is the breath that can increase your HRV, support your RMR, and be the fuel for your emotional frequency scale. I think they all connect, and I'm going to prove that today. So if the autonomic nervous system is housed in two compartments, one being sympathetic, one being parasympathetic, otherwise known as relaxation or fight or flight on the other side, then the brain is constantly millions and millions and millions of times per day processing information in a part of your brain called the hypothalamus. Here are the keys of vibrational habits which I'm in a moment going to tie to emotional frequency and the Hawkins scale. Here are the low-frequency habits that are coming from scarcity, coming from potentially just hedonism or apathy that drive a very low HRV score. The first is poor sleep, followed by alcohol, then smoking cigarettes, low physical activity, stress management, excessive caffeine, very poor posture, and of course, eating a diet that is not organic, and also genetics. There are some people that have a positive or negative impact via HRV and we know the HRV tends to naturally go down as we get older, but it doesn't have to it absolutely does not have to. As I mention chronic health conditions like diabetes, hypertension, anxiety, depression, and pulmonary disease, all of these things even medication's that people are taking or if you live in hot climates. I live in Austin and I would guess that most people's HRV score is lower because it's a super hot climate and makes you think about where you wanna live, right?   [11:05] Low Frequency: Hypervigilance + Unprocessed Trauma So now that we've unpacked HRV and RMR, and we've given you the beginning of the frequency scale, let me pull this all together, my friend. You're really going to enjoy this. Bare with me, we're about to go deep because we store unfavorable feelings very deep. We follow instructions and perform as intended until the program is terminated, and a new one is installed, but by the time we reach adulthood, we have so many unresolved issues that the majority of our reactions are inherently negative. These reactions are then in charge of unfortunate circumstances. That simply serves to confirm what we "already knew" from the past and distracts us in a vicious loop of emotional incidents, most of which are based on long-forgotten recollections from the past. So essentially the frequency of experiences, the frequency of emotions that are unfavorable from the past are literally driving the current moment because the body doesn't know any different, the body is a minor connected to all of this and this is what leads to hypervigilance. You can learn more about hypervigilance by going over to JoshTrent.com/490 where I go in-depth about the subconscious strategy for survival and what I believe mental illness is a symptom of in regards to hypervigilance and so much more than that. So these feelings of being a victim, combined with the assessment of others, evaluating oneself in relation to others, or comparing yourself to other people, is really a nervous system's tool for analyzing vibration. In other words, we project onto others what we feel about ourselves. So if I feel hypervigilant or non-trusting I'm going to unconsciously project that onto the person in front of me or the situation in front of me, and then that affects clearly my HRV and absolutely my resting metabolic rate because I'm going to need more calories, I'm not going to sleep as well, and I'm going to be shifted over to my sympathetic more throughout the day, which is the opposite of what the nature intended. But it's only when we embark on a journey of searching for the way of loving techniques and information and tools that we can begin, letting go of the lower frequency of these lower emotional reactions. This is a path that involves our whole lives and has a direct connection to love and complementing ourselves every time we manage to overcome these, potentially stressful situations, but really, they're not because we are choosing based on our past conditioning to make them three for 10 times more stressful than they actually are. So let's bring it home. Here the emotional frequency chart and Hawkins's work show the hertz frequency rate of this vibrational analysis all the way from low emotions to high. As the rate of vibration goes lower the extent of consciousness as well, and this is very key, the ability to deal with situations or things in a positive way is drastically reduced, which limits our discernment to respond or be responsible, which I've talked about many times on this podcast there is a difference between responsibility and being response-able. So when we find ourselves stuck in the spiderweb of the frequencies, like grief and shame and lying and deceit, it might seem so difficult and almost impossible to overcome things. But look, in this world, we are very fortunate to be here with each other right now. You are part of the solution, the fact that you were even listening to the Solocast means you are already on the way, my friend. You are already on the way and you are going through it because the only way out is through. Your resolve and your intelligence that was up leveled today now that you understand the connection between HRV and RMR, the academic science terms, and the actual emotional signature and quotient of the frequency scale. Combine these two things, and understand that you are a soul having a human experience inside of a body, and the more you can dive in and understand the emotional frequency chart the less you can put down your Oura Ring, put down your Woop, put down all the things that track your HRV and track your sleep and track your stuff. Because you and I both know those are external mirrors of mindfulness and all they're already doing is reminding you about the way that you already feel. It is only when we look within without judgment, with compassion for ourselves, that we can let go of the negative emotional attachments that keep us bathing in scarcity. And bathing at the bottom of the victimhood in those lower emotions of 200 all the way down to 20.   [16:40] What Is Your Emotional Frequency? So here is the action plan. First, take an emotional inventory I talked about that at JoshTrent.com/490. Take the emotional inventory to identify what beliefs you have or what emotions you're experiencing and then write your number down after each one and see where you fall. Are you in the category of victim, abuse, or consciousness? Are you in the category of self-empowerment? Are you in the category of self-realization the majority of the time? If you are, write to admin@wellnessforce.com and let me know. We'd love to interview you on this podcast so we can all learn from you. But for the rest of us, where we bounce around from 20 to 202, 50 to 440, with the occasional 440 all the way up to 1,000. What we all need is a deep breath, space and compassion, and love for ourselves so we can stop making science our God and start making the creator our God. Because the creator is all that ever has been what is here now and always shopping. Whether you're spiritual, scientific, religious, or atheist. It doesn't matter because the energy that brought you here is the energy that guides and loves all things. And so it is with that awareness that I leave you with a challenge. Listen to JoshTrent.com/490, and go and sign up for the Breathe program at breathwork.io. Use the code "PODCAST25" for 25% off and take yourself through three weeks of true emotional inventory, through breathwork, and unpack a lot of this victim abuse or consciousness from 200 down to 20. And then write to me at admin@wellnessforce.com. Know how you're feeling let me know the impact of this solo cast and let me know how much you love yourself and how much you love others with this new state of consciousness and this new awareness. I trust that was helpful. I know it was if you're still with me because there's a part of your soul that's absorbing this and taking this to heart. This is Food for your soul, nourishment for your heart, and an action plan for your mind. And until I see you again and I'm wishing you love and wellness.   Links From Today's Show  The Map of Consciousness Explained: A Proven Energy Scale to Actualize Your Ultimate Potential by David Hawkins Levels Of Consciousness (NonDualityLife.com) Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender by David Hawkins Shop the Wellness Force Store breathwork.io PLUNGE – Save $150 with the code “WELLNESSFORCE" HIGHER DOSE INFRARED MAT - Get 15% off with the code “WELLNESSFORCE15“ Organifi – Special 20% off to our listeners with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MitoZen – Save 10% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” Paleovalley – Save 15% on your ACV Complex with the code ‘JOSH' NOOTOPIA - Save 10% with the code "JOSH10" Activation Products – Save 20% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” NEUVANA - Save 15% with the code “WELLNESSFORCE” SENSATE - Save $25 on your order with the code "JOSH25" DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ CHILISLEEP - Save 25% on Josh's favorite ChiliSleep products with the code "JOSH" ION - Save 15% off sitewide with the code ‘JOSH1KS' TOUPS - Save 15% with the code "JOSH" Feel Free from Botanic Tonics – Save 40% when you use the code ‘WELLNESS40′ Drink LMNT – Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase BREATHE - Save 20% by using the code “PODCAST20” Essential Oil Wizardry: Save 10% with the code ‘WELLNESSFORCE' MY GREEN MATTRESS - Save up to $125 on your order with the code "JOSH" NEUROHACKER - Save 15% with the code "WELLNESSFORCE" ALIVE WATER - Save 33% on your first order with the code "JOSH33" M21 Wellness Guide Wellness Force Community Leave Wellness + Wisdom a review on Apple Podcasts   Shop the BEST Organic Snacks at PaleoValley   Save 15% with the code 'JOSH'   PaleoValley's 100% Grass-Fed Beef Sticks Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Beef Sticks are the only beef sticks in the USA made from 100% grass fed/grass finished beef and organic spices that are naturally fermented.

Unfortunately, virtually all turkey in the USA is conventionally raised with a small portion being "free range" – a virtually meaningless term that simply means the turkeys were allowed access to the outdoors. However, most "free range" turkeys only have access to an outdoor dirt field with no pasture in sight. Their truly pasture-raised turkeys are given full access to outdoor, pesticide-free pasture with plenty of grass and insects for them to nibble on.   Death & Rebirth: Why I'm Saying Goodbye to Wellness Force...

Paul Levy | Wetiko: Healing The Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World + Breaking Free From Collective Mass Psychosis

We are embodied reflections of each other. And what that means is that there’s no separate self. When you begin to see that, you’ll see through the imagination. Wetiko makes us think that we exist in a way that we don’t. It makes us think that we exist as a reference point in space and time, as a separate self, and as soon as we see ourselves in that way, we then think the world is objective, separate from us. - Paul Levy Are You Stressed Out Lately?

How is the Wetiko mind virus governing our lives and the world, and what is the most efficient remedy to awaken from the collective dream? Join Paul and Josh as they dive deep into Wetiko. Learn how to recognize Wetiko, what to do to free yourself from it, and how it impacts society and manifests in our day-to-day lives.   Listen To Episode 503 As Paul Levy Uncovers: [2:30] Poisoning Of The Human Evolution Awaken In The Dream With Paul Levy Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World by Paul Levy Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil by Paul Levy 405 Tim Corcoran | Vision Quest: How To Find Your Place In The Ecology of Life, Purpose Mountain & Spiritual Courage Paul Chek The mind virus: Why the origin of all evil comes from our psyche. 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & COVID19 How we get distracted by searching for problems outside of ourselves. Why most spiritual traditions point to the Wetiko mind virus. Carl Jung Why Josh finds it fascinating that the word, “evolution” contains the word, “love.” The reason why we as a society commit collective suicide. Why the mind virus is a source of the greatest evil and how we became its instrument. What it means that the medicine is encoded inside the mind virus.   [14:00] Wetiko Manifestation In Our Everyday Lives What the Wetiko is trying to reveal and why we need to recognize what it’s showing us. Kabbalah Kahuna shamanism Christian mysticism How Paul discovered his childhood trauma and the suffering caused by his father wound. How the process of observing his own mind for several years and meditating made him realize that we are having a collective dream. Why his awakening was mistaken for a mental illness. Why he identifies with the shamanic archetype. His realization that the evil he received from his father was manifesting through the system in the psychiatric institution. What happens when an evil cannibalistic spirit takes over people’s minds. Trans-personal energy: Higher-dimensional energy that can possess us and keep us “asleep.” How groups of people with power unwillingly become the instrument of trans-personal energy.   [21:00] Our True, Creative Nature VS Collective Psychosis His practice to become familiar with his true nature to avoid being touched by evil. What true nature is according to Paul and how it helps us with Wetiko. Paul explains why nobody is immune to Wetiko. Why a negative father is an archetype that exists in the collective unconscious, and how it relates to domination and objectification of Mother Nature. The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts Why Josh thinks forcing a meaning of something can make us fall into spiritual bypassing. The reason Paul wrote the book about Wetiko and had to split it into two books. How seeing Wetiko takes away its power and empowers yourself.   [28:25] Fighting Wetiko With Our Consciousness Why the essence of the Medicine Buddha is an inspiration to Paul, and the story behind his tapestry. Wetiko in sacred texts: Why was it edited out of the Bible? How Wetiko offers us a false identity and how it manipulates us through it unless we are able to identify our true self. Uncovering how the Bible indirectly describes Wetiko as a blindness of the mind correlated to the coldness of the heart. Why the revelation of quantum physics is a medicine for Wetiko. What it means that we are the solution and we possess the creative power to heal ourselves from the mind virus. Paul explains a Tibetan Buddhist tradition: Terma (hidden treasure). How quantum physics is a modern-day analog to the Terma: Discovering there is no such thing as an objective world. Why the belief that we are passive witnesses and the world is objective gives power to Wetiko. How dreams become a reflection of our minds, reinforce our viewpoints, and hypnotize ourselves   [40:46] The Collective Dream Of Separate Selves Josh explains why it’s impossible to go back to being unconscious after you start your healing journey. What the Bleep Do We Know!? The importance of recognizing that we are in a collectively shared dream. Why the characters in our dreams are aspects of ourselves. There is no separate self: We are embodied reflections of each other. Why seeing ourselves as separate from the world keeps us disconnected from our true nature. What it means that we are unique points of consciousness expressing itself from a source according to Josh.   [45:05] Becoming The Observer + Changing The Past Quantum Revelation: A Radical Synthesis of Science and Spirituality by Paul Levy Why according to quantum physics there is only the present moment, and how we can access our power through it. What it means that the past isn’t finished: We can observe the past in this moment and change it through our creative imagination to heal. How we express the atemporal part of us that is conscious in the linear timeline. Unnatural time frequency and mind distortion: How our relation to time causes insanity. Why we put too much emphasis and give meaning to time.   [49:05] Awakening From The Wetiko Dream God is dark and light, everything and nothing, love, and hate. Why our power lies in how we interpret our experience according to Paul. How quantum physics proves to us that we are creating our experience of the world and ourselves moment by moment. The universe is malleable and mutable just like our experiences and who we are. The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living by Dalai Lama Why the more you express compassion, the more compassion there is to share. How helping others awaken actually helps us because we are not separate. Bodhisattva: Being in the process of awakening. How awakening can also become contagious that can affect the world in a positive way. The secret power of dreaming: What would happen if we and all characters in our dreams would awaken. Josh sings a song that reminds him of what Paul was talking about.   [56:00] The Self-Induced Mind Blindness What physically impossible things happened to Paul when he started awakening. He tells a story about how he helped a blind woman see again with his words, and how it made him realize he was not insane but awakening. 311 Mark Wolynn | It Didn’t Start With You: Ending The Cycle of Inherited Trauma 366 Mark Wolynn | How To Heal Generational Trauma: The Thoughts, Feelings, Patterns & Behaviors Formed Before You Were Ever Born It Didn't Start with You: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are and How to End the Cycle by Mark Wolynn Why the Bible says that mindblindness is self-induced. The essence of Paul’s work: Trying to help people open their eyes and see Wetiko. What happens when you recognize the correlation between the outer world and your inner state, and finally recognize the dream.   [01:02:40] The Source Of Our Suffering A text by Jesus Christ that was edited out from the Bible: “I am a mirror to those that perceive me.” Why the mirror is a symbol of true nature in Buddhism. How identifying ourselves with our unhealed wounds feeds the Wetiko. How Buddha discovered that the source of our suffering is clinging. What it means that there is no Wetiko outside of us and the fear of Wetiko is actually Wetiko.   [01:06:40] The Inner & The Outer Manifestation Of Wetiko 344 Leslie Manookian | COVID19 – The Truth About Flattening The Curve Josh explains collective madness according to Carl Jung. Why Paul believes that Jung used the word ‘totalitarian psychosis’ to describe Wetiko. The inner and the outer reflection of Wetiko: How it controls our mind like totalitarianism controls the world. How we can envision who we are and our world through ideas. Why the greatest tyrants in history were scared of new ideas. How our creative power potentiates when we get in phase with each other and become of service to the whole. Paul reveals why quantum physicists lose their job when they try to tell the truth about consciousness. The new symbolic idea: We can change the collective dream we’re having.   [01:11:40] How Our Trauma Projects In The World Why the mirror etymologically means a holder of the shadow. Shadow projecting: Not owning our own darkness makes us project it out and embody it. How the evil outside of us is a reflection of ourselves, and why recognizing this brings us closer to our light and goodness. Josh shares his experience with his fear of being dominated. How Paul’s father tried to annihilate his light when he saw him stepping into his light because that’s what he was doing to himself. The Murder of Christ: The Emotional Plague of Mankind by Wilhelm Reich Unpacking how we are still murdering the Christ; the light force within us, by not being awake. How abuse trauma shows us that we are abusing ourselves.   [01:18:00] The Antidote For Wetiko 481 Scott Jackson | Rewire Yourself: How To Create A Life You Love With Freedom From Subconscious Sabotage Symbols are the language of dreams and the antonym to ‘diabolic’: Recognizing the dream-like nature is the antidote for the diabolic energy of Wetiko. How language creates our experience according to Paul. What happens to all the potentialities that don’t manifest in the world. Why there is always the possibility of creating a different reality according to quantum physics. Hundredth monkey effect Why it’s important to envision ourselves awakening. What wellbeing means to Paul: Connecting with our creative agency and our true nature.   Power Quotes From The Show The World Is A Reflection Of Our Inner World "What’s happening externally in the world is reflecting what’s happening in the mind, and vice versa. With Wetiko, we all have a potential, when all of a sudden it becomes activated, it will set up this shadow government within our mind. It will subsume the healthy parts of the psyche into its service. It will hijack the psyche. It will colonize our mind. It will dictate to the ego in such a way that we then become in service to it, to the point that we become possessed, we become taken over, we become instruments of our own enslavement. That’s exactly what’s happening in the world with totalitarianism." - Paul Levy   The Subjective Observation Of The World "There is no such thing as an objective world. That’s just an idea in our head that the active observation of the world actually influences the world we’re observing. That’s the description of a dream. What that means is that the active observation is creative. That’s the portal into this immense vast creative power that each one of us has, each and every moment in creating our experience." - Paul Levy   What Feeds The Wetiko Virus "There is no Wetiko outside of us. If people hear about a mind virus and feel afraid, that feeling afraid, that is Wetiko. There’s nothing to feel afraid of because there is nothing there. But if we cling to it and give it with reality, then we’re colluding with our own victimization, then we’re complicit with evil, then we’re investing in the reality of Wetiko, and there’s nobody else to blame but ourselves." - Paul Levy   Links From Today's Show  Awaken In The Dream With Paul Levy Wetiko: Healing the Mind-Virus That Plagues Our World by Paul Levy Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil by Paul Levy 405 Tim Corcoran | Vision Quest: How To Find Your Place In The Ecology of Life, Purpose Mountain & Spiritual Courage Paul Chek 345 Zach Bush MD: Humanity, Consciousness & COVID19 Carl Jung Kabbalah Kahuna shamanism Christian mysticism The Book: On the Taboo Against Knowing Who You Are by Alan Watts What the Bleep Do We Know!?
