in which a sandwich yeah and i
3:23
gotta take you back or right so
3:25
wouldn't have the brown was here see
3:27
with something about how see had basically
3:30
like. One. Days is like looks
3:32
in the mirror and spoke to died
3:34
and was like a right. Moving.
3:36
Forward. I'm gonna be obedient to
3:38
you under the obedience you and
3:40
I am going to do what.
3:43
You. Have me here to do. As
3:45
you said that she has really suck with than
3:47
at any time that she defies. That's like see
3:49
pays for it. I mean not like a fun
3:51
time. They were a but let's you
3:53
know it all as as a be alive ah day those
3:56
are the be listening to the been a previous and so
3:58
you know when I was listening to this. You
4:00
know, drop it. Is a devout Christian. I.
4:02
Am not. but I think you know for those
4:04
of us who are really trying to be on
4:06
a have I brace in is still and that
4:08
the in the same type of thing is is
4:10
a different media. different languages spoken in right some
4:12
like a with what is what she's saying what
4:14
language is that for me. And
4:17
my hunger has his randomly hit me up
4:19
the blue like two days after my break
4:21
up. as she was lay out saw her
4:23
was gone. I feel like grass on our
4:25
borders and blown up for it. I Bezel
4:27
we live in. We have flown apple eyes.
4:30
And sometimes people tell you something it is
4:32
doesn't even require and explanations. You know that
4:34
I don't even have to get from her
4:37
life of whether you mean buffalo, Not Fourth,
4:39
I knew exactly. What? She meant
4:41
in that moment. And. Was see med
4:43
was that it really is about
4:45
allowing yourself to be in slow
4:48
and to let go and that
4:50
when you are like son a
4:52
muscle that you are actually moving
4:55
against the way you should be
4:57
going right which I think for
4:59
a lot of us is the
5:01
norm. Is normal for us
5:04
to flex against something that may feel
5:06
uncomfortable or even better yet the may
5:08
feel I and knowing. Great.
5:10
Like if we've never been in a situation before,
5:12
are we are like in uncharted waters? You know
5:15
our natural instinct is to swim to the sure
5:17
instead of saying like will let me see with
5:19
over there. Because the current has
5:21
taken me there and I get that because naturally
5:23
it's like yeah don't know from the to be
5:25
able to some of we get out there. but
5:27
the thing about it is that have you always
5:29
been able to swindle? Have you ever been let
5:31
go. Not. really whenever you
5:33
follow to flow. As the
5:36
best I realize is my versions of what's
5:38
have as a brown was speaking about. Her
5:41
obedience to Jesus Christ.
5:43
For. Me is my obedience to flow which
5:45
ultimately is all of us saying that we
5:48
are going to go in the direction that
5:50
Died is seeking to us. To those who
5:52
write like worth, the were aligning with the
5:55
way our intuition is leading us based on
5:57
his connection to a higher power and finding
5:59
that. Though. Is
6:01
Not. Easy. As
6:04
that, we don't talk about that today because
6:06
I think sometimes when we talk about finding
6:08
our flow, we think it's more so. This
6:11
life as I am. a groove hands and
6:13
of a damn. Yeah, yeah, yeah by the
6:15
my movements and it's like yeah, that's nice.
6:18
But. It's like when I talked about
6:20
Binding of Low On not necessarily talking
6:22
about like oh yeah we displayed six
6:24
songs in a row the were all
6:26
the rights are in the play in
6:28
a row. What I mean is finding
6:30
the trust in new to go with
6:33
the way that a higher power is
6:35
taking you and in that being able
6:37
to determine when it's a higher power
6:39
moving you and not your fear. Mahindra.
6:43
Am. I
6:50
so I jumped up in naturally.
6:52
To me is flow versus force. Now
6:55
using. When. I slow like
6:57
I'm not a something about like rhythm. I think
7:00
that some of us think about it like to
7:02
sales over them. And
7:04
there is something to be sad when
7:06
you're like in your rhythm. Right when
7:08
you're like this move any a lie,
7:10
year like I'm barely. I guess I'm
7:12
doing it. I'm doing year And then
7:14
we think about it. When that stops
7:16
were just like oh, now I'm not
7:19
in it Now Not in. That's not
7:21
what I'm talking about because you're flow
7:23
is always in action, even when things
7:25
are going the way that you. Want
7:27
them to go? And. That's what
7:29
flow is about. How do you say
7:31
and slow. Even when things are not
7:33
necessarily like showing up for you the
7:35
way that you want them to. And
7:37
I think the reality is that when
7:39
things aren't showing up for us the
7:41
way that we want them to, we
7:43
immediately decide that like, oh, we're doing something
7:46
wrong, were doing the the wrong. This
7:48
wouldn't have happened if we had done
7:50
a snazzy specced. Not always the case
7:52
because sometimes things are going in this
7:54
direction even though it's not like the
7:56
good news that she wanted. Because
7:58
that's and less is that you needed to. Oh
8:00
right, That's the information you need to
8:02
know. That was a story that needed
8:04
to be told to you for you
8:06
to be able to make the next
8:08
movement only does about force for me.
8:10
forces is simply just like oh this
8:12
is if across. Oh,
8:14
this is slow, so that's that's simply
8:17
this force. Fours is
8:19
oftentimes. For mean, When.
8:21
Something feels like I am. Having
8:24
sue. Muscle. My way
8:26
to making it makes sense. When.
8:28
I am creating. Loopholes
8:31
and jungle gym and tactics to
8:33
like make it makes sense. Surprises
8:36
Like when I see people
8:38
you know during the height
8:40
of the recent Israel Palestine
8:42
Conflict when I see people
8:44
doing entire dissertation about why
8:46
it's okay to not say
8:48
anything when is dealing with
8:50
a genocide? When I see
8:52
people saying that I feel
8:54
like see what I'm witnessing.
8:57
Is. Force. I'm witnessing
8:59
people really jumping through hoops
9:01
doing a bunch of mental
9:04
gymnastics to try to make
9:06
this month friends that genuinely
9:08
does not make sense in
9:10
the solo of where things
9:13
are going. right? And
9:15
I'm like you understand that like
9:17
all this effort that you're going
9:19
through is nonsense because you're really
9:21
is doing it because you cannot
9:23
handle what really is in you
9:26
cutting out usa you Honestly he
9:28
says a view on a Sam
9:30
for some things but there are
9:32
things impediments as you have. Align
9:34
yourself with the your now trying
9:36
to commiserate and reconcile that spores.
9:39
Where is? Honestly, If you really I
9:41
believe this, go with the way that
9:43
your body and your heart and your
9:46
soul are telling you to that you
9:48
actually will land where you need to.
9:50
But it's so difficult to do that because we
9:52
live in a world that's on a grid. We
9:56
live in a world that is so often committed
9:58
to this grid. It is so. Like
10:00
we have to do this this way and this
10:02
is way and this. A slave. You know this
10:04
is how the protocols go for this and the
10:06
beat of the Sex with Businesses the processes for
10:08
this it is wildly unnerving. And
10:11
it's not attached necessarily. Morals or
10:13
values or Freedom says has any
10:16
of those things which are at
10:18
the tenants of flow. So
10:20
you're like how do I make
10:22
these things come together and you
10:24
have to decide like I am
10:27
going to commit to really? Allowing
10:29
myself to let flow, Hatton.
10:32
Possess. The other part. You.
10:34
Have to be the remover of the forest by
10:37
letting flow happen. And letting
10:39
will happen requires you even
10:41
knowing you. It's
10:43
taken me so long to do so
10:45
much self work and cells isolation about
10:48
what are the things I allowed to
10:50
be force in my way. right?
10:52
Whether it's my co dependency or
10:54
a ban him in his shoes
10:57
or your insecurities jealousy like what
10:59
are the things that I am
11:02
allowing to be and the way
11:04
of mean feeling good about my
11:06
guts. To That's the
11:08
thing more talking about is not just say oh
11:10
what am I allowed to get in the way
11:13
of me getting to where I want to go?
11:15
That's not what I'm saying. What am I allowing.
11:17
To get in the way of meets frosting my debt? Because.
11:20
When you know you have these things floating
11:22
around it makes you say like our know
11:25
how My second. Really listen to me. Cause.
11:28
You know, Because. You know
11:30
you have these things. Those things are.
11:32
Force. The. jealousy, the co
11:34
dependency, the projecting all of these things.
11:36
A lot of us have them because
11:38
we are human and we come up
11:41
in a world where we are shades
11:43
by factors outside of our control and
11:45
then we have to take control. And
11:48
part of the taking control is learning who
11:50
you are and learning what you are and
11:52
how to be the person you want to
11:54
be in order to be able to be
11:57
in. Forgotten about
11:59
flow. The For as we also
12:01
can identify like listening over whining.
12:04
right? And someone Egypt is in the
12:06
comments on Instagram but. I
12:09
think a lot of times in order for
12:11
us to attain slow we we really do
12:13
have to get quiet and listen. And sometimes
12:16
when we are busy whining. We.
12:18
Might not collar whining of are like know like
12:20
I'm calling out the things that are problem like
12:22
I'm saying the things that are in the way
12:24
and lena and it's like for say that they're
12:26
not the what they are and I can. Ya
12:29
know that I know about their. That
12:32
Sanders also like okay once you've established
12:34
that. Now what? Nowhere.
12:38
And at some point you
12:40
have to give space to
12:42
actually let's the inspiration come
12:44
to you or less the
12:46
knowledge or less a slow
12:48
come see you and that
12:50
whining and that complaining is
12:52
is the force. It
12:55
becomes force at a certain point
12:57
because you're literally for seeing yourself
12:59
says this: be stuck in like
13:01
I don't like this. I
13:04
don't like this. And that's when we can
13:06
also go into like the abundance versus the are
13:08
scarce the mindset because the abundance mindset will say
13:10
will you'll like this but like what do you
13:12
like and like how can we like center that
13:14
versus what you don't like. This
13:17
I think a easy access. Me: We are
13:19
trying to figure that. We. Are trying
13:21
to flow, not force it out? So. I
13:23
say that To say that when it comes to
13:25
force, Slow. And flow versus
13:28
force. the to are not anywhere close,
13:30
less in a similar like. I feel
13:32
like you can identify them clearly but
13:34
they run so concurrently with each other
13:37
that sometimes use you're like wait a
13:39
minute am I? Oh shit I didn't
13:41
realize I was a force. Move.
13:44
And that episode of that he no one's her.
13:56
So. Let's get into these the and he's in
13:58
his head over to. The squad in a
14:01
little bit. but first we have some
14:03
prices for ya Right here are right
14:05
size and. How
14:07
do you find ways to operate and flow when dealing
14:09
with people who. Don't slow at all.
14:14
You know it's funny because I've been
14:16
in that situation. I've been in that
14:19
situation where I was having to deal
14:21
with people who just don't slow at
14:23
all and I was also still like
14:25
trying to find Maslow And what I
14:27
had to realize was that I was
14:30
somewhat looking for some type of like
14:32
a farming from them in how to
14:34
get into my slow and so I
14:36
had say really this. Disconnect
14:39
from wanting that some them.
14:42
Or. Expecting that from them and is
14:44
looking at them As you know folks,
14:47
That. Are in my mitts and
14:49
problem solving see other opposite: A
14:51
logic problem that I'm just solving
14:54
versus something that I'm trying to
14:56
understand. I'm not trying to
14:58
understand it on the scientists transactional least
15:00
get it to allow me to do
15:03
with I need to do to remain
15:05
and flow. Either like someone had
15:07
the and me and said that's you know
15:09
see work somewhere where her to bosses are
15:11
like the boss and the bosses son I
15:14
guess are not pro palestine and she was
15:16
like you know I don't know kind of
15:18
like how to move forward because I like
15:20
them but I feel like you know this
15:22
is something we've talked about and I was
15:24
like why. Like
15:27
unless you work at a job where you feel
15:29
like your morals are an integral part of their
15:31
job A you feel like then paying you was
15:33
integral part of like your moral interaction like are
15:35
you going taser mind. Like.
15:37
Protective ease. Protects if
15:39
he's know them for what they are
15:41
now and they know. That.
15:44
They haven't even as you. May. Felt
15:46
so comfortable to express their views and
15:48
front of you without having any less
15:50
and even interests. And were your thoughts
15:53
lie? So. Now you know what
15:55
they are. A. You can carry on.
15:58
But. It can feel like we have. The like. So last
16:00
day had our jobs as he sent me back.
16:02
it was like you know you're right, like. I
16:05
low key have been acting as if
16:07
like I mean. Like. Every one of
16:09
my jobs. For a silly like you said, I'm like no
16:12
Michael Scott. That. The Office Reference.
16:14
Less. He also really we want to
16:16
the have comfort in our work spaces
16:19
but we do not need to have
16:21
family and all were spaces. There's.
16:27
Less him. What
16:29
our best practices for revitalizing your
16:31
inspiration without it feeling. Forced.
16:36
You know I always feel like your
16:38
inspiration is coming from where he like
16:40
you're tapping into inside of you. So
16:42
I feel like when you can tap
16:44
into your joys faces like that is
16:47
like a great way to open up
16:49
your inspiration and that's him he doesn't
16:51
necessarily feel fourth. Now if you are
16:53
depressed than that would definitely feel forth.
16:55
but you know you. Yeah I always
16:58
encourage both like to not abandon themselves
17:00
in those moments. I have done that
17:02
and it is no good. It is
17:04
no good. But. Using
17:06
my inspiration. Is
17:09
also kind of like what is inspiring you like.
17:11
Do you need to get inspired because need to
17:14
get a check? right? Like is
17:16
is that you need to get inspired as
17:18
big as like you feel like you're over
17:20
do to make something. Is
17:22
it that you're inspired? Any the as bad
17:24
because you have like and assignments you. I
17:26
feel like sometimes that's a first thing that
17:29
you need to like. Square way and then
17:31
back allows you to have like an intention
17:33
in your inspiration. To the you kids
17:35
and a grounded in that. Then.
17:38
It feels like you're just kind of grasping at
17:40
straws without any real direction like of I know
17:42
that I have a deadline that the reads that
17:44
to do to get something done like I have
17:46
a costly be aware of that and then that
17:48
lets my body a my brain a my heart
17:50
muscle know like okay these are the perimeter that
17:52
were working it's but if I know this is
17:54
about as want to do. Like.
17:57
As united feeling happening say that lately I've
17:59
been fatally. Then I can tell my body,
18:01
my soul, of Missouri, the my mind. Like you know
18:03
what we want to create something so like. Keep
18:06
Keep your eyes open. The
18:08
eyes open for something. Sometimes.
18:11
It is as free as that or
18:13
as has directs is that. but a
18:15
lot of times we don't actually call
18:17
it and so we're not really telling
18:20
our inspiration the Gps of were to
18:22
move. Towards civilians. As
18:24
a decidedly that isn't force that is
18:26
really just thirty. Next
18:32
lesson. Learning to
18:34
navigate through friends assimilation says he says I
18:36
was so absorbed in my flow is the
18:38
difficult part for me. How can I find
18:40
a healthy balance between what I love doing
18:43
and been more present for my friend? So
18:45
this a different concept thing. This a different
18:47
idea of flow. Is
18:49
I think that with this idea of
18:52
flow is is this idea that like
18:54
I'm focused on a goal and achieving
18:56
it and I'm the i'm just in
18:58
like I'm kind of like in Grimaud
19:01
kind of thing. And so because I'm
19:03
in that directive and I'm moving proven
19:05
and getting things done or not really
19:07
paying attention to the things that are
19:10
going on outside of me, That for
19:12
me is that the flows I'm talking
19:14
about, the float on talking about exists
19:16
within you and it really is about
19:18
you. Trust. Scene. And
19:22
you believing? And
19:24
you connecting. And
19:27
you can do that in that other flow the sea
19:29
sauce and about. And
19:32
I feel like when you do do that in that flow the
19:34
see something about. In your work flow.
19:37
Use as a free up space in. Your
19:40
mind for other things. That.
19:42
Can really. Enhance.
19:46
That the she socket about? That's where
19:48
your friends come in. Stats were taking
19:50
time to yourself. Comes in. You.
19:52
Know that's where been Good to yourself comes in.
19:56
Because. You have to. Create.
19:59
A Worth. Wow. Of
20:01
not just the work. That
20:04
you're doing for money. But.
20:06
The cells work better. do it for
20:08
you. And that.
20:11
Is. A mindfulness that has to be had.
20:13
And that's right, that. So. I've
20:15
seen to that's where I'm
20:18
at. Like really realizing base.
20:20
And. I read this quote recently and it incredible
20:22
the really realizing that the love of your life
20:24
as a love of your life. The
20:28
lot of your life is the
20:30
loves. Of your place.
20:34
Loving your life is the love of
20:36
your life. And
20:38
when you can find. That
20:41
and pour into that. That
20:44
is you pouring into slow
20:46
and becoming obedience. And learning
20:48
and trusting. And
20:51
the more you do it, the more
20:53
you're able to see. He
20:55
has caused the Matrix the more able. To see
20:57
oh this is slow Oh
20:59
this is for. I'm
21:02
gonna release that. And.
21:04
You don't really that with anger you
21:06
ever leave it with bitter you know
21:09
relieve it with content you really that
21:11
with thankfulness and with grace. Because.
21:13
Now you're back and slow. And
21:16
you say? yeah. That's over there.
21:19
Thankfully I was able to know that. Let
21:21
me move. Over
21:25
to the Seal squad. And see what's
21:27
going on over there. Far.
21:29
Paid three on. Question.
21:44
Him a relationship he.
21:47
Was. Very steadfast in my recent
21:49
relationship. I was very steadfast
21:51
about not wanting to be
21:53
the victim to the relationship.
21:55
And what I mean by
21:57
that is that I think.
22:00
A lot of times we kind of
22:02
like lead life happened to us vs
22:04
be no actually being in control of
22:06
our life. And.
22:09
There's this weird dance that I think we
22:12
do were were like okay like I don't
22:14
want to like v like to in something
22:16
were like i can't see the trees from
22:18
the road but I also don't want to
22:20
dislike be taken for a ride and so
22:23
we commit ourselves the saying okay we're under
22:25
the an active participant. right? And
22:27
limits as a participant in his that's I
22:29
decide to be my really ships I see.
22:31
Like in the past I wasn't really an
22:33
active participant ability. in the past the my
22:36
relationships I was. Doing. Way
22:38
it's. I guess I saw
22:40
like I'm supposed to do, but.
22:43
I don't have the I had many. They see us
22:45
the you know most of us really don't know what
22:47
to do was relationships. Like
22:49
with other we have a lot of
22:52
like teachers is all we have a
22:54
lot of like examples. The a mean
22:56
if you're fortunate enough to like have
22:58
it within your family then so be
23:00
it. But it's not like love is
23:02
blind is really teaching you how to
23:04
like be in a relationship. Okay so
23:06
I was kind of doing well as
23:09
I'm supposed to do. I really was
23:11
is grounded in any like true effort
23:13
of like method or or moral principle
23:15
like it was just like year like
23:17
this is ours above it all right.
23:19
Yeah yeah, yeah. so I literally zip
23:21
I said no. We. Don't
23:24
read books. We. Gone be
23:26
intentional. Will. Be purpose or with
23:28
on go to therapy with on do the things. For.
23:30
This to work. right? Because
23:32
I don't want that when this is
23:35
done. If it is done, I don't
23:37
want to feel regretful. I
23:39
want to feel like I have.
23:41
Actually put in the efforts of
23:43
understanding how to be my best
23:45
self in this. And.
23:49
So I did and you know what
23:51
I will say and if you've ever
23:53
heard any our podcast or interviews at
23:56
me that related to my time while
23:58
I was in that relationship. I
24:00
often spoke about how he was the first man
24:02
I had ever been with who tried. Like
24:05
I feel like they've never
24:07
try, like it was. All
24:09
is like I am really
24:11
doing my darnedest and they're
24:13
kind of just like. A
24:15
year that's enough and so was like
24:18
this time with somebody who would at
24:20
least like go to therapy right? would
24:22
at least like read the books you
24:24
know or would at least like have
24:27
like they deep and says it emotional
24:29
discussions with me and even if they
24:31
didn't like they would be. Apologetic
24:34
after and then we be able to
24:36
like move forward so that always felt
24:38
like efforts that always felt like something
24:40
of value because it was something that
24:42
somebody was doing for the sake of
24:45
us. However, what I
24:47
started to realize. Was. That
24:49
I was always the one
24:52
who was. Creating.
24:54
That momentum. I
24:56
am always the one that is.
24:59
Examining what's happening with the
25:01
conflicts are and looking for
25:04
ways to. Improve. Them
25:06
are looking for ways to find resolution
25:08
like I'm always the one saying like
25:10
hey you know this is not really
25:12
like feeling good, does this feel good
25:15
to you Like this way the were
25:17
interacting like let's let's see how we
25:19
came, come together and and move passes
25:21
right? But the thing about that is
25:23
like you don't keep putting yourself on
25:26
the back like was at me and
25:28
says is that when and it's like
25:30
zip at the same way just like
25:32
wow look at me. And
25:35
my the only one in this relationship. And
25:39
you start. Questioning. That and
25:41
scum be new loan go down a road.
25:45
And I look back and I say
25:47
wow. You. Were in force,
25:49
not slow for a long time.
25:53
Because slow is not being taken for ride.
25:56
Flow is you.
25:59
Ceilings. The. And
26:01
feeling good about the direction
26:03
that you're going in? But.
26:06
Not because you're forcing it,
26:08
but because. There's an
26:10
anointed next to it. It
26:13
is building. You work with every
26:15
challenge. And I talked about
26:17
a version of this for quite some time. when I
26:19
tell ya like. You
26:21
know you that let something go when
26:23
he goes my sounds to a stress
26:25
split a relationship. I think it can
26:27
be so much harder to identify that
26:29
because you'll tell yourself that is not
26:31
necessarily a stress. It's like we're working
26:33
through something. We love to say that
26:35
we're working through something worse is a
26:37
phase you know, or it's trauma and
26:39
then we'll tell ourselves that because the
26:41
understand where that person's trauma comes from
26:43
that we understand why they bring that
26:45
trauma over here and there will tell
26:47
ourselves that our compassion can make it
26:49
okay for us to manage that like
26:51
will do that all day long. That
26:53
is not slow. That.
26:55
Is for you're forcing it.
26:59
You are rationalizing irrational
27:01
shit. You
27:03
are accepting the and acceptable. That
27:06
is a slow. You
27:08
know what we think about lights? And
27:10
how you know if you're in a
27:13
hallway? With. A bunch of
27:15
doors. And you. Want
27:17
that like to flow through that an open those
27:19
doors for the like to go through. And
27:22
if you are able to open those doors in the
27:24
light will go through. Think about how
27:26
many times has been a release. it has a you try
27:28
to open the door with somebody. And
27:30
they will not open the door. They.
27:33
Will not let you in.
27:36
They. Won't let the light is. Bad.
27:40
For. Not.
27:42
Letting the lie, then. So
27:44
that's what I mean by when we talk
27:46
about. like even when it's something that's not
27:48
going your way itself can be slow because
27:51
as long as you're letting the light and
27:53
you're letting the lesson in, you're letting the
27:55
learning in. It is still slow. When
27:57
I was doing the documentary for In Amanda.
28:00
right? It's so ironic that
28:02
it's called in Amanda we trust because
28:04
the only reason that it ended up
28:06
being able to happen with me trusting
28:08
myself. That. Is literally the
28:10
most important aspect that I can tell
28:13
you about that projects. It wasn't the
28:15
money, It wasn't the people I work
28:17
in on a it's it wasn't the
28:19
writing. Know. It was my trust.
28:22
In myself and if
28:25
I had knots somehow
28:27
decided to just listen
28:30
to my gut. I.
28:33
Don't feel like it would have come out as well even if it
28:35
did some out. Because. It would
28:37
have been based on things that were not
28:39
really what I truly cared about. And
28:43
I've never gotten to make anything truly like
28:45
with in that mindset. I don't think I
28:47
think I've always been really considering of like
28:49
with the marketplace that a care about the
28:51
as you know how my gonna make this
28:53
bigger how can I appease certain people and
28:55
when it came to this I just wasn't
28:57
a part of the equation. Is
29:00
a complete. Slow. Enough
29:02
force production. Every
29:05
issue that would arise. Every
29:07
production problem. Any of that,
29:09
I would always. Go
29:11
to my God for the consult first. And.
29:14
Ask myself. What? Would it
29:16
take for this to happen? Does.
29:19
This feel good. Loses
29:21
does this feel good?
29:25
Like the finding of the flow can
29:27
literally be as basic as does this
29:29
feel good. And when I say sealed
29:31
that I don't mean. Does
29:34
it make me feel.
29:37
Praise. Or does it make me
29:39
feel supported Like I had a want to
29:41
say that? because I think sometimes when say
29:43
feel good we take it as like always
29:46
as a compliment. When I say feel that
29:48
I mean does this feel progressive. That's
29:51
better word and good. Does it
29:53
feel like progression? When
29:55
I meditate over water, I meditate. Bring
29:58
me forward to me. Forward. Bring
30:00
me forward. I
30:03
want to progress. I want to
30:05
progress. I want to progress. Does
30:07
this feel like progression? Does. This
30:09
feel progressive. And
30:12
it either. Even when it came down
30:14
to just deciding to just do the
30:16
segments and take out the sand at
30:18
the question I had was. Is
30:22
this progressive to do this?
30:25
Or. That the seal like a cop out. Does.
30:28
It feel like you just settling. And
30:32
when I did the math. So. To
30:34
speak. It was like nah,
30:36
this. This. Is progressive,
30:40
Because. It is a space that
30:42
you've never been in before. Is.
30:44
A format that you've never seen before.
30:47
And it's centers. Others.
30:51
In a really valuable way.
30:55
While. Still allowing you to be
30:57
the vessel for the messaging. That.
31:00
Was slow not force. I
31:04
remember coming out of the pool. One.
31:06
Day when my ex and I were in the pool. He never got
31:09
in the pool so he was like sitting by the pool what I
31:11
was in the pool. And
31:13
I forgot a conversation that
31:16
we had, but. I
31:18
remember saying to myself. As
31:20
I got out of the pool. And
31:23
the save my. Mom Lisa Ship. And
31:28
I didn't think back on
31:30
like you really saw it
31:32
for like a good five
31:34
minutes that this was able
31:36
to somehow be seized by
31:39
you. Bet. You are
31:41
going to be able to force. Your.
31:43
Way into making this shit flow.
31:46
It. Was never going to happen. I
31:49
remember sitting on the dock. Families.
31:54
And. I
31:56
had just gotten news that I
31:58
was basically blacklist it from certain
32:00
comedy clubs. And that that's why
32:02
I wasn't able to set up a tour. For twenty
32:04
twenty three. And.
32:08
Since. I remember saying to
32:10
myself a getting up after sitting there
32:12
like getting up and signs a walk
32:15
towards my room and telling myself like
32:17
next. Year than figure
32:19
this out there than a Sears
32:21
you. And
32:24
I.so room and I
32:26
sat outside and realized.
32:30
Yeah. This is. For. A Swiss
32:32
This is far as. I'm
32:36
a fan. Delphi back. Be. Thing
32:38
that you need to buy bad because
32:40
the flow is leaving you in that
32:42
direction but there's this. didn't feel like
32:44
slow this felt like he go. See,
32:49
that's really what force is based in
32:51
many times: fear and ego. Is
32:53
this decision I'm making. To.
32:56
Either move or not. move is is
32:58
based in ego or fear. That's
33:01
a great way to identify. Force.
33:04
Because ultimately my reasoning for
33:06
like I'm Gonna Show Them
33:08
was. Both ego
33:10
and Cs ego that who the hell they
33:13
think they are playing in my face like
33:15
that. One time when he was singing best
33:17
Friends Are For would Luther Vandross and he
33:19
had let her know Whoa whoa whoa I
33:22
lose of Rule Yeah, he had live know.
33:26
But it was also fear. Because. It
33:28
was also fear that these people think they're
33:30
going to get away with plane in my
33:32
face like, "What do you who cares live,
33:34
right?" When. You proving
33:36
Who would? Who Are these people?
33:39
Best. Force. And
33:42
that's when I realized what I need to do.
33:45
Is I need to bring in Amanda we trust to the
33:47
people and I need to figure out how to do it.
33:50
But. There has been a project
33:52
that has come through in. Slow.
33:56
So. Why am I. Sending
33:58
out of that. Why?
34:03
It was so rebel a tory.
34:06
And so just
34:08
like empowering. Because.
34:10
It felt like I had like span
34:12
some type of alchemy and some type
34:14
of magic right? And all it
34:16
really is a space. You
34:19
know that's really all it really is. an
34:21
ad for me. Faith as a have to
34:23
be this have sex specific leads associated with
34:25
some type of religion like exists The test
34:27
in the unseen. And.
34:31
That is where my obedience
34:33
has now has a find
34:35
itself. Trusting.
34:38
That. I. Can be
34:40
and flow because. I
34:42
know myself. I
34:45
trust myself. And. I will listen
34:47
to her. And.
34:49
I will listen to her so that
34:51
when I do identify slow, I can
34:53
remove it. Step. Outside of
34:55
it. You. Know sometimes flow is that
34:58
even you. As. Other
35:00
people's ego. Is. Other
35:02
people's fear. In. Your
35:04
Way. How the a
35:06
move that. Have.
35:08
Had to do it. Guy. Had
35:10
interview and a sister was in. the
35:12
interviews has been real. You
35:15
know, she was really just being. Young
35:17
and inexperienced but she was being very
35:19
cocky about it and at some point
35:21
in the interview see as a question
35:23
that didn't relate to the documentaries and
35:25
i i says are you know she
35:27
had already told me the she hadn't
35:29
watched a documentary and I said her
35:32
on the the Zebra Questing as as
35:34
a really relate and so later an
35:36
interview she came with her final question.
35:39
Yeah she does news question with com. Be the
35:41
questions he said. So having
35:43
been this indices so long
35:45
would you say to people
35:47
who. Misconstrue.
35:50
Who you are, At.
35:54
That either for a second as they say, method
35:56
of And because I've really had this point to
35:58
understand what there is misconstrue slayer. That bid
36:00
for so long live the I haven't
36:02
figured out yet. Like ha healthy I
36:04
can. This latency I came make you
36:06
understand it's okay. Like this is my
36:09
i'm here. The track records here. they
36:11
examples are here like follow the trend.
36:13
If you feel like I am diverting
36:15
from consistency then baby I don't know.
36:17
I don't know what you're looking at
36:19
best. It? I don't know. says.
36:22
He's a little bit bad as I responded that way when she was
36:24
like, "You know, so you have any other questions, I mean, your these
36:26
kids" Question earlier that I have via. Amman
36:31
he said once I said you know he he
36:33
seem bothered by that but the reality is that
36:35
you it was not a relevant questions who the
36:37
documentaries so let's was a haven't seen the I
36:39
saw Jesus assumes I haven't seen as I didn't
36:41
assume you literally told me that you haven't seen
36:43
it but they sent you the screener as he
36:45
said well you know I just they did they
36:47
did not send it to me they did not
36:49
has me as a even if they didn't send
36:51
you. The screener you knew you were interviewing
36:53
me today. And if
36:56
it was of an important enough for you to make
36:58
sure that your work was what it needed to be
37:00
than you would have found a way to see it
37:02
by either contacting them and saying please send me the
37:04
screener what is it Would hang the fifteen bucks. And.
37:07
Expensing it. But.
37:10
Ultimately, like your responsibility.
37:12
Is. Your own. And. You want
37:14
to do a really good interview so you
37:16
will not let people get in the way
37:19
of that happening. That's why I'm trying to
37:21
say. Have. An Amazon, good game or
37:23
much on the come As soon as she was like well I
37:25
mean. I you
37:27
know and other he's still seem very
37:29
he seems offensive. Other that I'm not
37:31
the best is betting on science at
37:33
a videographer and be like any is
37:35
a me either. At
37:39
this big Aids that I've acquired. By.
37:41
You not do enough. As I said
37:43
I say I think this be better suited if he
37:45
would leave the room and we continue the interview. Alone.
37:49
And she was like. Six.
37:52
Put her jacket on with it. Keep. She
37:54
turned around. To like well us and I
37:57
see address my pr the she's been saving
37:59
this whole time. Without even knowing that she
38:01
still a novice snotty to realize that every
38:03
single time that you claim that you did
38:05
not get my screener you're saving these two
38:08
people in here who absolutely a sense you
38:10
the screener several times but you keep standing
38:12
on that. You are not given the materials
38:15
you needed who you think we will our
38:17
hotel is why lady and is the way
38:19
I like. Do you think they might. Suggest.
38:23
Know this is a Pr so you
38:25
submit addressing them from the game. when
38:28
I walked in, if that was the case,
38:30
hey ya, that semi the screening. Nonetheless,
38:34
See. Ends up leaving and on her way out she
38:36
says. I knew
38:38
this is gonna go this way. I
38:41
said, well, you manifest, it was you that. And
38:46
then we went on to do a
38:48
great interview with the videographer the lose
38:50
their She gave him her questions and
38:52
we were able to complete the interview.
38:54
The vibe went immediately to the top
38:56
because you know why we removed the
38:58
for. A scene slow.
39:07
Now you know as a Star Wars in
39:09
As A Dead Eyes even referring to force
39:11
is a bad thing is very sometimes contradictory
39:13
for me and it feels very like a
39:15
lie that but you know I had as
39:18
I don't live in a universe with i
39:20
live in this one. Guy. I
39:23
live in this once and the truth is
39:25
is that I do understand that Ah, the
39:27
force oftentimes is not with you. It's
39:30
not the forces oftentimes not with
39:32
you and so you have to
39:34
find your flow by being able
39:36
to identify with his with you.
39:39
Gratitude. Every day.
39:42
right? Mindfulness.
39:46
Awareness. Compassion.
39:50
Barrel there. But we don't live in a
39:52
society that gives them much value at this
39:55
point. And sell them
39:57
are looking to find are slow.
39:59
We understand that much of us
40:01
finding our flow with them to
40:03
come from disconnecting from the actual
40:05
shit stream that were in and
40:08
society. It's
40:10
gonna come from us saying you know where
40:12
I gotta get outta that. Mainstream.
40:15
And into flow. And
40:18
for some people that is by
40:20
aligning with you know or religious
40:22
you know groove worth some type
40:24
of spiritual practice. It's
40:26
all the effort of saying I need
40:28
to get connected to me. When
40:31
you get to make the to you. You.
40:33
Get connected to the die than you. And
40:36
the Dad and you. There's.
40:38
All these other be but I get that a man. And
40:41
so when you're in slow, I believe
40:43
that you are now on a wave
40:45
length with everybody else who's doing that
40:47
same work. The. Same way
40:49
that the turtle was on the jet stream
40:51
in finding Nemo. We're.
40:54
All gonna get there if. We
40:56
just let ourselves get in. The.
