  Hi, everyone, and welcome back to Eye Opener Society.
• 0:03
  My name is Gary Dean. Thank you so much again for tuning in,
• 0:07
  for joining us here on our little podcast.
• 0:10
  And I thank you, the audience, for all the listens throughout the past two years.
• 0:16
  It's been an amazing ride.
• 0:17
  We just hit 5,000 downloads.
• 0:21
  It's kind of mind-blowing to think when I started this three years ago that
• 0:27
  it would have been, you know, evolved into such an important part of my life.
• 0:32
  And that's the whole reason for this episode.
• 0:38
  I've been working on doing some more stuff, you know, with social media,
• 0:43
  obviously on Facebook, and we're now on YouTube, and we are also now on TikTok.
• 0:50
  I'm trying to balance everything out, hoping each individual one brings a little
• 0:56
  bit more awareness to eye-opener society.
• 0:59
  I was thinking about doing a different show actually today, a different topic
• 1:05
  basically, and I had everything all planned out.
• 1:08
  But then, as it would, the way we focus and align on things,
• 1:14
  I decided to switch and come back and talk about what I'm going to talk about today.
• 1:21
  I started as Third Eye Meditation And
• 1:24
  it was a business that I was doing Where I
• 1:27
  was doing meditation coaching I'm starting to get back into it Not on a big
• 1:33
  level yet I'm starting to do it just small one-on-one clients And just trying
• 1:41
  to help people out on an individual level And I'm doing that as practice Because I'm hoping very soon.
• 1:47
  That once I am where I really want to be, I could start the entire business
• 1:53
  again on a much larger scale.
• 1:56
  So we always need to start small. We need to start somewhere.
• 1:59
  And I'm starting small again.
• 2:02
  And when I started doing this again, I developed another form of meditation.
• 2:10
  Well, it's guided meditation. It's not really another form. But the guided meditation
• 2:15
  I've developed works very well with people who always say, I don't have time.
• 2:23
  I can't clear my mind.
• 2:25
  You know, those are the biggest common misconceptions with meditation.
• 2:33
  And everybody can do it and everybody has time to do it.
• 2:36
  I don't think people understand that you've probably been meditating every single
• 2:40
  day and just not even know it. So I've developed this form of guided meditation.
• 2:46
  I think I can bring forward and really help people out.
• 2:51
  I'm trying to practice it on different people because obviously everybody's
• 2:54
  going to be a little bit different in some ways in the way they are receptive to it.
• 2:58
  So if anybody would like to volunteer, the eyeopener society at gmail.com.
• 3:06
  Just reach out and I'll reach out to you and we can do it right over Zoom or
• 3:10
  whatever the case may be.
• 3:11
  I just want to try it out with a few people And really develop it a little bit
• 3:16
  further And maybe be able to fine tune it for individuals as well And because
• 3:21
  of all of that That's why I bought this different topic Instead of the one I
• 3:26
  was going to deal with Even though they're going to kind of mesh,
• 3:29
  So next week's episode, more than likely It will be the other topic Unless something else changes,
• 3:35
  I'm going to talk more about ourselves.
• 3:38
  You, me, as individual people and how we just need to start concentrating more
• 3:45
  on meditation, many people are turned off by it. I've noticed that.
• 3:50
  Actually, they're very drawn to it. They're very interested in it.
• 3:53
  They want to do it. But there's something holding them back.
• 3:56
  For whatever the reason may be, whatever that case may be, whether it be a lot
• 4:01
  of times it's religion because religion restricts a lot of people on what they
• 4:05
  are allowed to do, in quotes.
• 4:07
  And or it's just There's maybe this Misconception that it's all about Like the
• 4:15
  ultra guru And people you know.
• 4:18
  They're too worried about their own consciousness and what they look like and
• 4:22
  how and when people meditate.
• 4:25
  And yet meditation could be no different than me just sitting here now talking
• 4:28
  to you because this is a form of meditation to me.
• 4:33
  I enjoy doing this podcast. When I'm sitting here thinking about what to say
• 4:39
  next, this is my form of meditation.
• 4:42
  Every word that flows through me is coming not
• 4:45
  from a script but it's coming right from my mind
• 4:48
  through my soul through my heart to you and i'm
• 4:51
  trying to do the best that i can with it and it becomes a form of meditation
• 4:55
  to me and i become in a very relaxed state so yes you could be meditating right
• 5:02
  now and not even know it but i think right now is the perfect time and i'm about the time in the world.
• 5:09
  There's an ascension that's going on. There's something much higher than all of us that's going on.
• 5:15
  There's just been way too much stuff, too many things that are going on that beg to be questioned.
• 5:22
  And the answers that are being given, I just think are completely false and made up.
• 5:27
  There's a lot of manipulative stuff that's going on, trying to control the masses and all.
• 5:33
  Now is the time for us to wake up. Now is the time to start getting in tune
• 5:39
  with yourself, get connected spiritually.
• 5:43
  It doesn't have to be religious. It could follow any religion at all.
• 5:50
  The next episode, I was actually going to talk about our self-consciousness
• 5:54
  and how I feel that it is actually a very, very ignored technology or that technology is being denied from us.
• 6:02
  And that's why I kind of figured these two are going to be related.
• 6:06
  Mindfulness is part of that consciousness.
• 6:09
  Meditation is part of that consciousness. Our self-awareness and what we do
• 6:14
  each and every day and how we see things, how we perceive things,
• 6:19
  the way we feel, our own bodies,
• 6:22
  it's all connected through our consciousness.
• 6:26
  There's something hidden in there that allows us to feel the way we want to
• 6:33
  feel, the way we should feel, and the way we view things.
• 6:37
  There's a big switch somewhere that we need to just turn on,
• 6:40
  and we can do that through meditation.
• 6:43
  I feel, too, that us as human beings, we were deprogrammed through life.
• 6:49
  That's what I feel completely, 100%. You know, I think children from a very
• 6:55
  young age, they see more, they hear
• 6:59
  more, they're much more in tune with themselves, they're much happier.
• 7:02
  And then as life goes on, we go through that deprogramming process.
• 7:07
  It does not have to be that way. I spoke many times before, you know,
• 7:11
  on many other episodes where I always said the problems we have are all our fault.
• 7:17
  Us as humans allow so much to happen, so much to go on, that we are the cause of it.
• 7:25
  We always make the mess, but we refuse to clean it up.
• 7:31
  This is why we need to start focusing more, focusing on that big picture. We're part of a society.
• 7:39
  But at the same time, we need to focus within ourselves as the individual,
• 7:45
  removing the ego, and be able to elevate ourselves to another level so that
• 7:53
  the entire society is on the same page, wavelength-wise.
• 7:58
  That's the only way we can achieve world peace. So obviously,
• 8:02
  this might not happen at all.
• 8:03
  It could take thousands, millions of years. But there's nothing wrong with starting
• 8:08
  right from the beginning, one person at a time.
• 8:13
  Do not be afraid of meditation. Do not be afraid of what you connect to.
• 8:20
  If you feel there's going to be some dark emotions, you know,
• 8:24
  that's all part of shadow work.
• 8:26
  It's all part of what we must go through in order to achieve something much higher.
• 8:32
  If we don't start doing this now there's not going to be a lot of hope you know
• 8:37
  for you know the rest of humanity and i think that's how a lot of people feel
• 8:41
  you know we sit here and we say hey,
• 8:43
  i don't think the world's going
• 8:46
  to be better in the next few years nothing's getting better nothing's
• 8:49
  getting better but what are we doing to change that that's the question we need
• 8:53
  to ask ourselves what can we do to change that and again start with ourselves
• 8:58
  start making small changes Pick up that piece of litter that you see on the
• 9:03
  ground And put it in a trash can Stop creating litter You know, again,
• 9:08
  we are the root cause of all problems We cannot use all of our conspiracy theories To just, you know.
• 9:15
  Wash away, you know, the real problem We need to focus and concentrate We are
• 9:20
  the problem, but we are also the solution And once we start changing our mindsets
• 9:24
  From the problem to the solution Things start to get a little bit better,
• 9:29
  hopefully And that's why I feel I need to talk about this,
• 9:35
  On our last episode We had Yari from Mindside Metaphysical Mindsidemetaphysical.com
• 9:41
  Don't forget Three Railroad Avenue in Marietta, Pennsylvania.
• 9:46
  That's my go-to place But Yari is a psychic medium And if you remember that
• 9:50
  episode We were talking about this too as well We need to go through our shadow
• 9:53
  work You know, we all have this connection.
• 9:57
  But when I had my session with her And when she told me in a past life I was
• 10:02
  a shaman It really opened up my eyes Into thinking,
• 10:07
  This is why I need to move forward. This is why I feel I need to talk about this.
• 10:13
  This is why I feel the need to make it bigger than what it is on this podcast.
• 10:19
  I need to reach more people and I need to get more people to start thinking.
• 10:24
  Now, I don't want everybody to work with me. I think that there are other people
• 10:29
  that can do much better and all, and I'm not trying to get people to pay me or stuff like that.
• 10:34
  What I am trying to do is just get a message out that we do need to start thinking
• 10:39
  about this. If you want to use me, great.
• 10:42
  I can help you. I can guide you through a meditative process that I know might actually help you.
• 10:49
  Or you could use somebody else. The thing I really want to stress is get started.
• 10:56
  Do something for yourself that's going to help you.
• 11:00
  And in return, we'll help others around you as well. Remember,
• 11:04
  one smile can light up a room.
• 11:07
  You know, it's the way we feel. It's our energies that we put forward that changes everybody around us.
• 11:13
  So remember that. It all starts with you.
• 11:15
  Don't be the problem. Be the solution.
• 11:20
  I'm going to get started on some other things with Eye Opener Society as well.
• 11:25
  And, you know, beyond the meditation. So like I said, maybe in a year,
• 11:29
  maybe in a couple of years, I'm going to be on a land That's
• 11:32
  going to be so vibrant So soul
• 11:35
  awakening And I know it And I feel it
• 11:38
  deep in my heart That that place that I'm going to Is going to open up a very
• 11:43
  bigger portion Of Eye Opener Society More than just a podcast So I really hope
• 11:49
  everybody follows And people stick with us You know through these coming days
• 11:54
  Because I know it's going to happen.
• 11:57
  I'm working solo as you could tell, Hannah is still part of this show.
• 12:02
  Hannah too needs to work through a lot of emotions before she can come back on this show.
• 12:08
  I want everybody to wish her tons of positive energy.
• 12:12
  Send it her way. I try every single day. I love that girl. I want her to get better.
• 12:19
  I also wanted to thank Jennifer Miller for stepping in when she did,
• 12:23
  and I'm wishing her only the best from this point forward.
• 12:26
  I could see she's focused a lot more on her crafts and her art.
• 12:31
  And that's so important. And I really love that for her.
• 12:34
  And I love that for you, the audience, if you start focusing too on what you
• 12:38
  really want to do, let's stop worrying about work and tasks and projects that
• 12:42
  we need to do, get them out of the way and then spend time for yourself.
• 12:46
  That's going to be the most biggest important thing that you could do for yourself is work on that.

• 13:08
  Our little group, our little society, I've been thinking about once a month
• 13:12
  doing a podcast on the paranormal because the paranormal is so connected with
• 13:17
  meditation and everyday life, we don't really realize it.
• 13:21
  I think, again, it's made for TV.
• 13:25
  It's made for people to tune in and watch so they could stick in more commercials.
• 13:29
  A lot of it you cannot really believe wholeheartedly, but I do believe that
• 13:34
  it needs to be approached in a way different manner than it has been rather
• 13:39
  than the Hollywood style.
• 13:40
  And I think our little group, we're going to be able to achieve that.
• 13:44
  And then I got other plans for that too as well. So I got a lot going on,
• 13:48
  but I do want to thank you for tuning in.
• 13:50
