• 0:01
  Hello, everyone. Welcome again to Eye Opener Society and welcome again to one
• 0:05
  of my shorter, quicker podcasts for shorter attention spans,
• 0:09
  hopefully to develop a few more listeners that are looking for something quick.
• 0:13
  I wanted to talk to you today about really how we're viewing ourselves in the world.
• 0:20
  We seem to be programmed to think that we need to be a certain way to match
• 0:28
  the normal everyday routine.
• 0:30
  And this is so far from the truth.
• 0:35
  We have to represent what we are
• 0:39
  who we are the way we feel and
• 0:43
  the way we go into society feeling this way to adapt and spread ourselves out
• 0:48
  to blend in this becomes tricky because there's many situations where we cannot
• 0:54
  do this and there's always a time and place for everything but i also feel that, you know,
• 0:59
  we become less and less expressive simply because we feel that for some reason
• 1:07
  we are going to be denied that space that should be given to us.
• 1:14
  Now, it's hard to say because, you know, I know we all struggle from this.
• 1:19
  You know, we want to go out and we want to enjoy the day. We want to do some
• 1:22
  wild things. We want to be creative.
• 1:25
  We want to be expressive. you know we just want to you know
• 1:28
  sometimes just not wear pants but you know
• 1:31
  once we go out into the world what's really
• 1:35
  interesting is that we have to
• 1:38
  adapt into this phony mold that has been created for us and it doesn't really
• 1:44
  have much purpose uh so we need to find that fine balance Between wearing pants
• 1:51
  and Going into the world Uh,
• 1:55
  But we could still do so without being, you know, ridiculed,
• 1:59
  without being bullied, without being harassed.
• 2:03
  Yeah, wear pants when necessary and when appropriate. But think that you don't need to wear pants.
• 2:10
  Simple as that. I always use the pants theory simply because I don't like wearing
• 2:16
  pants myself. It's just one of those things.
• 2:19
  It's restricting. It's, you know, tight. And, you know, listen, TMI, maybe.
• 2:24
  I don't know. but you get what I'm saying we
• 2:27
  need to express these things and how we want to look
• 2:30
  you know if I want to wear you know
• 2:33
  clothing that's outrageous like you know Elton John
• 2:37
  or something why not I mean wouldn't this make the world much more interesting
• 2:43
  rather than seeing some very mundane stuff that you see each and every day where
• 2:50
  everything becomes boring and it brings it down to this lower vibrational frequency.
• 2:55
  Raise it. Raise it up high. Raise everything up. Be expressive.
• 2:59
  Be creative. Speak your mind. Do the things that you would like to do and just
• 3:03
  do it to the point when necessary instead of doing it when it's inappropriate
• 3:09
  because then things kind of go right back down to that lower level of vibration.
• 3:14
  Express yourself, people. I enjoy being with you here today.
• 3:18
  Show your great expression out there, be yourself, and we'll join you again
• 3:23
  on the next short episode of Eye Opener Society.
