  Today we are talking Reality Transurfing and pendulums.
• 0:07
  Pendulums are simply a thought structure that everyone thinks and it only wants your energy.
• 0:14
  And we're gonna talk about how pendulums sense the energy of your potential and make other people behave in such a way that gets to you.
• 0:24
  And in sports, this happens often, we talk about.
• 0:29
  Favorite sports teams and even how to enjoy the game when things don't go your way.
• 0:38
  You're listening to the Stop the Mind Screw podcast.
• 0:41
  I'm your host, Kathie Owen.

  I have been a certified fitness trainer and certified life coach since 2002.

  It's Tuesday, so we are talking Transurfing on Tuesday.
• 1:01
  Today.
• 1:01
  We're talking a quote from the book, and actually we talked about this quote last week, but today we're going to apply this quote to sports.
• 1:11
  Here's the quote.
• 1:12
  The people that get in your way are not pendulums so much as they are their puppets.
• 1:19
  Pendulums, sense the energy of your potential and make other people behave in such a way that will get to you.
• 1:26
  As a result.
• 1:28
  You get irritated and the harlequine even higher.
• 1:33
  The pendulums makes it swing and receives the energy of your irritation.
• 1:39
  Vadim Zeland from the book Reality Transurfing.
• 1:44
  On October 11th, 2022, I experienced what was probably the best moment of Astros baseball history in all of my 50 plus years of watching the game.
• 1:59
  I grew up a huge Astros fan.
• 2:01
  My father has a PhD in math and is actually a very brilliant man.
• 2:06
  Me, on the other hand, I'm smart, but math skills I think they skipped a generation.
• 2:14
  To bond with my dad.
• 2:15
  I watched sports and went fishing with him.
• 2:18
  I have two brothers who played baseball and know the sport very well, and I have two sons who also love the game.
• 2:26
  Baseball is my sport and I love the Houston Astros.
• 2:31
  However, I also understand the pendulum and actually feel empathy for those who end up on the other end of the spectrum, as in losing.
• 2:41
  That is everyone except for, well, let me think about that.
• 2:46
  The Yankees.
• 2:47
  Yeah.
• 2:49
  The Astros have actually always been a losing team.
• 2:53
  Maybe not for the last 10 years, but they have in the last 50 before that.
• 2:59
  And in fact, the first time they made it to the World Series was in 2005 and they lost.
• 3:06
  Every game they played in the World Series, they didn't even win one game.
• 3:11
  Talk about disappointment.
• 3:13
  That dang pendulum.
• 3:17
  So the Astros are currently in the playoffs of 2022 and in game one versus the Seattle Mariners, we struggled.
• 3:25
  You never see Justin Verlander struggle the way he did in this game, and we were behind the entire game.
• 3:33
  Something I've grown accustomed to.
• 3:37
  But I was watching the game.
• 3:38
  I was actually reading a book and sitting on the couch thinking, Yeah, they're not gonna win this game.
• 3:44
  We came to the bottom of the ninth.
• 3:46
  We were the home team.
• 3:47
  There were two outs and we were down by two runs.
• 3:51
  There were two runners on base, and the go ahead run comes to the plate and it's Yordan.
• 3:57
  Alvarez, we call him the big man.
• 4:01
  I figured there was no way they would pitch to him that would be ignorant because the man can hit a ball out of the strike zone out of the park.
• 4:12
  But I kept the game on just in case.
• 4:16
  First pitch Ball one.
• 4:18
  Yep.
• 4:19
  They're gonna walk him.
• 4:20
  I thought smart move on the Mariners part, but the next pitch that came, it was a little outside and one of Alvarez's favorite pitches and he smacked the ball out of the park.
• 4:36
  Way up in right field in the upper deck.
• 4:41
  I really could not believe my eyes.
• 4:43
  I heard the ball get hit.
• 4:45
  I wasn't looking at the TV because I was, the pendulum had gotten my energy, but then I couldn't believe it.
• 4:54
  I, I was screaming so loud that I scared my dog.
• 4:59
  I have watched that play that hit a hundred times now, and it never gets old for me.
• 5:08
  My boys were actually at the game and they said the atmosphere was insane.
• 5:13
  The pendulum went wild.
• 5:15
  Dopamine was in high gear, and that could be the very thing that takes us all the way to the World Series and further.
• 5:26
  But this is not a sports commentary by any means, but in a huge fact, a lesson okay, we gotta mention Jose Altuve and sports psychology.
• 5:39
  I really think Jose Altuve understands pendulums and he can teach us a great lesson on how not to become reactive and irritated, so the pendulum does not get your energy.
• 5:53
  What happened to the Astros in 2018 and 2019 could have been devastating.
• 5:59
  Instead, the team has turned the situation around and used the pendulum sway to their advantage.
• 6:06
  The Astros were caught in a cheating scandal where they were stealing signs and supposedly giving signals to one another so they could get hits, but there's something that the novice fan does not understand here.
• 6:21
  Stealing signs to identify which pitch is coming next has gone on since the beginning of baseball.
• 6:28
  It is actually a strategy used in baseball, and all teams have done it and did it at this time.
• 6:38
  The Astros were an easy scapegoat.
• 6:41
  Their fan base is small compared to the Yankees, Dodgers, and the Red Sox, and so is their pocketbook.
• 6:49
  Identifying pitches that are coming your way is one thing.
• 6:52
  Hitting them is another.
• 6:55
  You still need to make a split second decision on when to swing and how to swing the bat in order to hit the ball.
• 7:05
  But that is where habit comes into play.
• 7:08
  Professional athletes of Altuve caliber practice in their minds and are in the habit of how, when, and where to hit the ball.
• 7:18
  The cheating scandal happened in 2017 today, now five years later, the Astros have the best record in the American League and are in the playoffs.
• 7:29
  As of recording this, Episode.
• 7:31
  As you know, we are in the playoffs in round one.
• 7:37
  And we still don't know the outcome.
• 7:39
  But I can tell you one thing for sure, Altuve knows how to handle the pendulum with class.
• 7:46
  He may have learned it, but he does know.
• 7:50
  Jose Altuve, Yuli Guillo and Alex Brigman are the only batters left from the 2017 team.
• 7:57
  And when they come up to bat at any of our huge rivals like the Angels or the Yankees Stadium, they are booed incessantly like.
• 8:08
  It's awful I can't even imagine how they feel or how they've come to handle it, But Jose Altuve appears to do better when he is booed.
• 8:21
  It's actually quite funny.
• 8:22
  What he has done is conquered the pendulum, or he has made the pendulum sway in a different direction away from him.
• 8:33
  We could all learn from his attitude and.
• 8:38
  You know, enjoy the game.
• 8:40
  Don't get caught in the pendulum sway.
• 8:43
  Now, as a fan of the team, I have to take a different stance on the pendulum.
• 8:48
  I was listening to the Storytelling Lab podcast with Rain Bennett, episode 106.
• 8:54
  Titled, Cultivating Leadership Skills with Jerry Sandusky, and I'll have a link to the episode in the show notes and the description that I listen to.
• 9:05
  And Jerry Sandusky is the son of famous NFL coach John Sandusky.
• 9:12
  By the way, this is not the same.
• 9:14
  Jerry Sandusky as the Penn State coach, as they are not even related.
• 9:22
  But in this episode, Jerry Sandusky talks about enjoying the game rather than getting caught up in the drama of the game.
• 9:30
  He talks about how most fans spend the entire game waiting for the outcome, and then they decide how they're gonna feel.
• 9:38
  This is being caught in the pendulum's sway..
• 9:43
  As Vadim states in today's quote, the pendulum makes it swing and receives the energy of your irritation.
• 9:52
  Jerry proposes a great idea.
• 9:55
  Enjoy the game as a spectator of it all.
• 9:58
  Don't get caught up in the drama of the pendulum.
• 10:02
  Instead, sit down and observe remaining neutral.
• 10:08
  This is not to say you cannot enjoy your team's win.
• 10:11
  Guess what?
• 10:12
  You actually enjoy it more.
• 10:14
  You quit making it about you because it's not about you.
• 10:18
  It is about the experience.
• 10:22
  Do you need help with this?
• 10:24
  I created a download to help you understand the pendulums in your life.
• 10:28
  Not all pendulums are destructive.
• 10:30
  Identify where you spend your energy so you can be released of the pendulum's Prod.
• 10:37
  I e quit giving the pendulum the energy of your irritation.
• 10:42
  You can download yours today at www.kathieowen.com/reality-transurfing I hope to see you there.
• 10:54
  In conclusion, this whole episode applies to life.
• 10:58
  How can you imply the enjoyment of things instead of giving into the pendulum pendulum, sense the energy of your potential and make other people behave in such a way to get to you.
• 11:10
  As a result, you get irritated and the harlequin jumps even higher I'm definitely gonna give this a try as the Astros make their way through the playoffs, and I'll let you know how that goes.
• 11:26
  All right, that's my episode for today.
• 11:29
  If you know someone who can benefit from this, please share it with them, and until next time, I'll see you next time.
• 11:35
  Peace out and namaste.
