- 0:01SPEAKER_00: What is fear?
- 0:05SPEAKER_00: What is fear?
- 0:08SPEAKER_00: Well, to start off, these videos that I'm making are not planned.
- 0:15SPEAKER_00: I don't have any bullet points in front of me.
- 0:17SPEAKER_00: I don't have a script running in front of me.
- 0:20SPEAKER_00: I don't even have any kind of agenda that I want to talk about.
- 0:24SPEAKER_00: And this is something that
- 0:26committing to as far as my own surrendering process goes in in
- 0:33conjunction with my
- 0:34inner healing because living in a place of surrender is
- 0:39ultimately where I want to
- 0:40SPEAKER_00: be to fully trust the universe God creator whatever you want to call it
- 0:47SPEAKER_00: consciousness to fully trust that energy that being
- 0:55SPEAKER_00: to guide my life.
- 0:57SPEAKER_00: And you know,
- 0:58my ego over the last few days was trying to come up with things
- 1:03I'm gonna say and
- 1:06SPEAKER_00: make all kinds of plans of how I'm gonna say it and what I'm gonna say.
- 1:09And I'll talk about surrender and I'll talk about this,
- 1:11I'll talk about that.
- 1:12And I'm like,
- 1:13nope,
- 1:13nope,
- 1:14not gonna talk about anything that you suggest,
- 1:16ego.
- 1:17I am going to go into this recording completely blank or at
- 1:22least as blank as I possibly can
- 1:25and just flow with whatever comes through me and of course as
- 1:29it turns out just
- 1:31before the recording there was a quick conversation I had with
- 1:37one of my mentors
- 1:38and the topic of fear came up and I asked him a question and he
- 1:42pointed out well
- 1:43it's probably fear you have in your stomach still and that was
- 1:47like ah shoot okay
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: yep I feel it
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: So we're going to talk about fear.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: And what is fear?
- 1:58SPEAKER_00: Well,
- 1:58SPEAKER_00: most people think of fear,
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: at least in my experience,
- 2:02as something that you're afraid of a certain situation because
- 2:06it might cause you
- 2:07SPEAKER_00: harm.
- 2:08Whether that be physical harm,
- 2:10emotional harm,
- 2:11mental harm,
- 2:12financial harm.
- 2:13SPEAKER_00: I'm afraid to give up my job that I hate.
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: Because it's giving me a certain financial security.
- 2:21Even though,
- 2:22you know,
- 2:22in today's world,
- 2:23there is no such thing as financial security.
- 2:25SPEAKER_00: Everything could go up in smoke any moment now.
- 2:29SPEAKER_00: So fear is interesting because obviously it's an inherent part of life.
- 2:37Not just in human life,
- 2:38but you can see it in the natural world too,
- 2:41in animals,
- 2:42right?
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: You can even see it in microbes.
- 2:45that there's a certain stimuli based on the outside world that
- 2:53sentient beings,
- 2:54SPEAKER_00: even if it's just a multi-cell organism,
- 2:57SPEAKER_00: it's still sentient on some level,
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: that once that stimuli enters their system...
- 3:05SPEAKER_00: There's a knee-jerk reaction.
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: There's a protection mechanism.
- 3:08There's something that kicks in that is often referred to as
- 3:11the fight-or-flight mode.
- 3:13So you're either going to fight yourself out of this situation
- 3:17or you're going to
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: run like hell or like heaven.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: So in our case,
- 3:22SPEAKER_00: in the human species,
- 3:26SPEAKER_00: we have something very deeply in ourselves,
- 3:30SPEAKER_00: in our nervous system,
- 3:33SPEAKER_00: Primarily governed by the amygdala.
- 3:35So the amygdala is a little gland on the back of your brain
- 3:39that creates the fear hormones.
- 3:42SPEAKER_00: And I forgot off the top of my head what they are now.
- 3:44But the amygdala is basically there to inject these fear
- 3:49hormones into your system
- 3:51SPEAKER_00: if it perceives fear.
- 3:53SPEAKER_00: to be in a dangerous situation.
- 3:56SPEAKER_00: In the classic example,
- 3:59SPEAKER_00: when we were still living in tribes mostly and we were hunter-gatherers,
- 4:05SPEAKER_00: if we encountered a dangerous animal like a saber-toothed tiger,
- 4:11then our automatic fear response would kick in and it would
- 4:16inject into our
- 4:17bloodstream high doses of adrenaline so we could either fight
- 4:21our way through this
- 4:23situation or we can run away and hopefully run faster than the
- 4:27saber-toothed tiger,
- 4:28SPEAKER_00: which probably didn't work out so well back in the day.
- 4:33SPEAKER_00: So it's a system that's designed to protect us.
- 4:37SPEAKER_00: It's a system that's designed to protect our physical well-being.
- 4:41It detects danger,
- 4:43and then it kicks us automatically into fight-or-flight
- 4:48response.
- 4:49SPEAKER_00: It shuts down all other functions of the brain,
- 4:52SPEAKER_00: including the frontal cortex,
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: which is designed for higher intelligence,
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: reasoning...
- 5:01SPEAKER_00: critical thought, calculations, analysis, all that goes out the window.
- 5:09And the nervous system goes into like a hyper performance mode
- 5:15to either fight or flight,
- 5:17right?
- 5:18SPEAKER_00: And everything else is beside the point.
- 5:20SPEAKER_00: And you may also notice that when you are in a fearful situation,
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: all of a sudden you have to go to the bathroom.
- 5:25SPEAKER_00: Why is that?
- 5:26SPEAKER_00: Well, because your nervous system wants to dump extra weight.
- 5:32SPEAKER_00: so that you're lighter during fight or flight.
- 5:36SPEAKER_00: That's why you have that response,
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: which is also why you have that response when you drink coffee.
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: Coffee brings your system into fight or flight,
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: because believe it or not,
- 5:46SPEAKER_00: coffee is recognized by our biological,
- 5:49SPEAKER_00: physical body as a poison.
- 5:51SPEAKER_00: That's why you start sweating.
- 5:53SPEAKER_00: That's why your heart starts pumping.
- 5:55SPEAKER_00: And your frontal cortex shuts down.
- 5:58There's a reduction of up to 40% in blood flow to the brain
- 6:03after just one cup of coffee.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: Look it up.
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: There's plenty of videos online.
- 6:07SPEAKER_00: Jason Kristof does an excellent expose on coffee.
- 6:11SPEAKER_00: So anyway, side note.
- 6:13SPEAKER_00: So your system then goes into this fight or flight mode once it...
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: Once it detects perceived danger, perceived danger.
- 6:24SPEAKER_00: Now,
- 6:24SPEAKER_00: obviously,
- 6:24SPEAKER_00: in our modern world here,
- 6:25SPEAKER_00: with our hyper-technologicalized world,
- 6:28SPEAKER_00: we don't have to fight saber-toothed tigers anymore.
- 6:32You know,
- 6:32maybe a grumpy neighbor every once in a while,
- 6:34depending on election season.
- 6:36SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
- 6:37SPEAKER_00: But...
- 6:38most of the time we don't have to fight our way through life
- 6:41anymore right we go to
- 6:42the grocery store get our food and whatever or farmers market
- 6:46ideally and so that
- 6:50that system that that automatic response system the
- 6:52fight-or-flight system is still
- 6:55SPEAKER_00: within us though and in today's world
- 7:00SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 7:01SPEAKER_00: the example I gave earlier,
- 7:03SPEAKER_00: when we quit our job,
- 7:05SPEAKER_00: then we no longer have financial security.
- 7:07SPEAKER_00: So we equate then financial security with physical well-being.
- 7:12SPEAKER_00: Well, if I lose my job, I'm not going to make money.
- 7:15SPEAKER_00: That means I'm not going to be able to pay my rent.
- 7:17That means I'm not going to be able to feed myself or my
- 7:19children or my family.
- 7:21SPEAKER_00: That means I'm going to end up on the street.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: That means we're going to die on the street, right?
- 7:26SPEAKER_00: So the subconscious...
- 7:28which calculates and processes information at at least eight
- 7:34million bits per
- 7:35second makes all these calculations basically you know let's
- 7:42say your your boss is
- 7:45unsatisfied with your work performance and you get that gut
- 7:49feeling of oh shit
- 7:51SPEAKER_00: I'm going to lose my job.
- 7:52SPEAKER_00: And then the fear starts.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: The system sets into gear.
- 7:58Within a millisecond,
- 7:59it calculates if you lose your job,
- 8:01your family is going to die.
- 8:03SPEAKER_00: And all the steps in between I just lined out.
- 8:05So that's when you suddenly get into fear mode and you can't
- 8:10fight or flight with
- 8:11SPEAKER_00: your boss in that situation.
- 8:13SPEAKER_00: So what's the next best thing?
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: You obey.
- 8:17SPEAKER_00: You obey, you become quiet, you become appeasing.
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: Please, authority figure, don't hurt me, don't harm me.
- 8:30SPEAKER_00: I need this job to stay alive and to keep my family alive as well.
- 8:36Your subconscious does that in a fraction of a second and you
- 8:41get that fear response.
- 8:43SPEAKER_00: So that's a...
- 8:44SPEAKER_00: a rather benign example.
- 8:48SPEAKER_00: And there's more to it.
- 8:49Obviously,
- 8:49I'm just giving sort of an overview of how it works in our
- 8:54modern world today.
- 8:56SPEAKER_00: But as I said, fear is something so deep within us that at the very core,
- 9:07We still have a lot of fears about all kinds of things,
- 9:11including stuff that's not even ours.
- 9:14SPEAKER_00: So, for example...
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: My family lived through both world wars, World War I and World War II.
- 9:24And through my sacred plant medicine journeys that I've taken
- 9:31over these past few
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: years,
- 9:33there were at least one occasion where I remember I saw the
- 9:39trauma and the fear
- 9:41SPEAKER_00: that was in my DNA,
- 9:43SPEAKER_00: in my family's lineage,
- 9:44SPEAKER_00: where
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: from that time, World War I and World War II.
- 9:48I saw a few visuals and a few images with that,
- 9:51but that was sort of secondary.
- 9:53SPEAKER_00: I felt the terror.
- 9:56SPEAKER_00: I felt the fear of what it was like to live through those times.
- 10:03SPEAKER_00: And it was inside of me.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: I could feel it.
- 10:07SPEAKER_00: And it was coming out.
- 10:09SPEAKER_00: And it was absolutely terrifying.
- 10:13SPEAKER_00: And on another journey that I took, I had to face my existential fear.
- 10:22SPEAKER_00: That fear, as it was coming out, was in every cell of my being.
- 10:31SPEAKER_00: It was in the tips of my toes.
- 10:33SPEAKER_00: It was at the ends of my hair, on the top of my head.
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: I felt it.
- 10:38SPEAKER_00: I could see this fear coming.
- 10:44SPEAKER_00: how it had basically spread itself into every single cell of my body.
- 10:51SPEAKER_00: And when that happened,
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: that night,
- 10:55SPEAKER_00: when I was facing my existential fear and I was releasing it,
- 10:58SPEAKER_00: it was coming out,
- 11:00SPEAKER_00: that was absolutely the most terrifying,
- 11:06SPEAKER_00: scariest moment of my entire life.
- 11:09SPEAKER_00: And there was a moment where I thought, like, I'm going to choke.
- 11:12SPEAKER_00: I'm going to choke on my fear.
- 11:13SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to, you know, this is it.
- 11:16SPEAKER_00: Now, I survived, obviously.
- 11:19SPEAKER_00: But all that to say is, why didn't I feel this intense fear of
- 11:25SPEAKER_00: When I was going through my day-to-day life,
- 11:27SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 11:28SPEAKER_00: 20,
- 11:29SPEAKER_00: 30 years of my life,
- 11:30SPEAKER_00: why didn't I feel it?
- 11:32SPEAKER_00: Why didn't I feel it?
- 11:33SPEAKER_00: Why did I have to go to,
- 11:36SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 11:36SPEAKER_00: a professionally guided planned ceremony journey to face that fear,
- 11:42SPEAKER_00: to let it come out,
- 11:43SPEAKER_00: let it wash through me,
- 11:44SPEAKER_00: get it out of my system?
- 11:46SPEAKER_00: Because the subconscious mind...
- 11:49again is designed to protect you it is designed to protect your
- 11:55physical well-being
- 11:57so it is absolutely incredible what it's capable of doing when
- 12:03it relates to
- 12:04SPEAKER_00: suppressing
- 12:06your emotions especially the the negative ones you know the
- 12:11heavy um negative
- 12:13emotions that we're all exposed to especially when we're
- 12:16growing up i mean birth by
- 12:18itself is very traumatizing you know i had i had to go through
- 12:22a c-section and yeah
- 12:25SPEAKER_00: i remember some of that
- 12:27SPEAKER_00: That will be a whole other video coming soon.
- 12:29SPEAKER_00: But we all have fear and we all have fear sitting very,
- 12:34very deeply inside of us that we're not aware of because our
- 12:37subconscious mind is
- 12:38SPEAKER_00: protecting us.
- 12:39SPEAKER_00: It is protecting our physical well-being.
- 12:41SPEAKER_00: It's protecting our mental well-being.
- 12:43It's saying that whenever we sort of look in that direction or
- 12:47whenever we like we
- 12:48SPEAKER_00: want to self-inquire,
- 12:51and we want to examine a situation where we felt intense fear
- 12:54and it didn't really
- 12:54SPEAKER_00: make sense and we start asking questions,
- 12:57it will throw off all kinds of flares and distractions and
- 13:03other signals to
- 13:04SPEAKER_00: distract your mind away from what's really behind
- 13:08SPEAKER_00: that fear?
- 13:09SPEAKER_00: Why did that situation that wasn't really that big of a deal,
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: like the boss being upset with you,
- 13:15SPEAKER_00: why did that create such intense fear inside of me that was completely
- 13:18SPEAKER_00: disproportional to the actual situation that I was in?
- 13:22SPEAKER_00: Because the sheer notion
- 13:28of letting that fear come out,
- 13:30first of all,
- 13:31in a social setting,
- 13:32would be rather unacceptable.
- 13:34I mean,
- 13:34you're hissing and fitting and spitting your fear out of your
- 13:38system.
- 13:39SPEAKER_00: That's kind of a weird situation, obviously.
- 13:43SPEAKER_00: But more than that, the ego...
- 13:47is built upon your fear and on your pain and all the other you
- 13:53know misery and
- 13:54self-doubt and all the other negative emotions that is the
- 13:57foundation upon which
- 13:59SPEAKER_00: the ego has built itself
- 14:02SPEAKER_00: And the ego, it's fiction.
- 14:04SPEAKER_00: It's a fictional construct.
- 14:05SPEAKER_00: I've talked about this in the last video.
- 14:08SPEAKER_00: But nonetheless, it has a survival mechanism of its own.
- 14:12SPEAKER_00: It doesn't want to die.
- 14:13SPEAKER_00: It doesn't want to lose its foundation.
- 14:16SPEAKER_00: I mean, how do you feel when there's an earthquake, for example, right?
- 14:21SPEAKER_00: You feel like you're losing ground.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: It's not a very comfortable feeling.
- 14:24So you're going to do everything you can to hold on to power
- 14:27and to hold on to
- 14:28SPEAKER_00: control and to save your life.
- 14:30SPEAKER_00: Similar to the ego,
- 14:32the subconscious fictional construct that had to build itself
- 14:36upon the fear and the
- 14:38SPEAKER_00: doubt and the worry and the anxiety,
- 14:39SPEAKER_00: whatever the case may be.
- 14:41SPEAKER_00: Pain for sure.
- 14:42SPEAKER_00: Fear is like one level above pain.
- 14:44SPEAKER_00: So there's always pain at the very root cause of everything.
- 14:48SPEAKER_00: So the ego has built itself upon that.
- 14:51SPEAKER_00: And that's who we think we are.
- 14:53SPEAKER_00: That's who I thought I was.
- 14:55SPEAKER_00: Until I realized,
- 14:56SPEAKER_00: wait a second,
- 14:57SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 14:57SPEAKER_00: through these plant medicine journeys,
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: I was able to see myself from a whole different angle.
- 15:03I saw that the ego,
- 15:08again,
- 15:08had built itself upon the basis of pain and fear and was...
- 15:16SPEAKER_00: creating a self-image that I thought was me,
- 15:21SPEAKER_00: when in fact it wasn't me,
- 15:23it was my ego that was trying to protect me from discovering
- 15:27all the deep-seated
- 15:29SPEAKER_00: fear I had.
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: So now obviously, okay, what's the solution?
- 15:33SPEAKER_00: So we can agree that everyone is in some form of pain.
- 15:36SPEAKER_00: We can agree that everyone is in some kind of fear.
- 15:39And if you don't have fear yourself,
- 15:41then you definitely have fear from your ancestors.
- 15:44SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's very rare for someone not to have some level of fear.
- 15:48SPEAKER_00: I mean, we live in some pretty scary times.
- 15:52so okay everyone has pain everyone has fear now how do we start
- 15:56dealing with that
- 15:58if what i'm saying is true and you know you're welcome to
- 16:01verify this with other
- 16:02psychologists and other people who understand consciousness who
- 16:05understand the
- 16:06subconscious mind and the brain and how it operates so if we
- 16:11assume this to be
- 16:12right okay then we can assume two things number one who i think
- 16:17i am is not who i
- 16:19SPEAKER_00: am number two
- 16:22The real me,
- 16:25my true essence,
- 16:26who I truly am,
- 16:28is buried underneath all that pain and fear.
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: So then the next logical conclusion will be,
- 16:35SPEAKER_00: okay,
- 16:36SPEAKER_00: I'm going to have to start looking at myself,
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: at my pain,
- 16:40SPEAKER_00: at my fear,
- 16:41SPEAKER_00: and release it.
- 16:43SPEAKER_00: Let it come out.
- 16:45and you know there's many different modalities one of them i
- 16:49shared in the last
- 16:50video discoverhealing.com it's a very good process where you
- 16:54can start to release
- 16:55some of those old fears of yours and even false core beliefs
- 17:01and false core
- 17:02identities based upon that pain and that fear ideally you know
- 17:07what i'm going to
- 17:08SPEAKER_00: say is professionally guided plant medicine
- 17:11And it has to be someone that you're doing this with who
- 17:14understands what it's
- 17:16SPEAKER_00: like,
- 17:17SPEAKER_00: who understands consciousness,
- 17:18who understands how the brain and specifically the subconscious
- 17:22works and how fear
- 17:24SPEAKER_00: operates.
- 17:27SPEAKER_00: And you might say that, oh, well, I don't have that much fear.
- 17:32SPEAKER_00: I have a bit of anxiety.
- 17:34SPEAKER_00: I take Xanax or whatever and I'm good.
- 17:38SPEAKER_00: Well,
- 17:40SPEAKER_00: my teacher would say, never underestimate the power of denial.
- 17:44SPEAKER_00: I thought I was perfectly fine.
- 17:46SPEAKER_00: I thought I was, you know, a healthy adult, operating.
- 17:49SPEAKER_00: I was, you know, mostly, most of the time I was in a good mood.
- 17:52But there were some areas in my life that just had a lot of
- 17:56friction and things
- 17:57SPEAKER_00: didn't work out well,
- 17:58SPEAKER_00: no matter what I did or how I tried.
- 18:01SPEAKER_00: Because the suppressed fear...
- 18:06SPEAKER_00: will not necessarily generate the feeling of fear,
- 18:10SPEAKER_00: but it will generate behaviors,
- 18:13SPEAKER_00: thought patterns,
- 18:16SPEAKER_00: certain preferences and dislikes.
- 18:23It'll certainly create certain boundaries,
- 18:26sort of invisible walls around you.
- 18:29Like I can't make more than five grand a month or whatever the
- 18:33case may be.
- 18:35SPEAKER_00: And you may try to
- 18:38SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 18:39be an entrepreneur and you may try to get that raise or
- 18:41whatever the case may be,
- 18:42SPEAKER_00: you're trying to get more money.
- 18:44SPEAKER_00: But whatever you're doing,
- 18:45SPEAKER_00: whatever you're trying,
- 18:46SPEAKER_00: you're just not breaking through that 5K barrier,
- 18:49SPEAKER_00: no matter what you try.
- 18:51SPEAKER_00: So then the question becomes, okay, what is preventing me?
- 18:59SPEAKER_00: How am I preventing myself, really?
- 19:02SPEAKER_00: From breaking through that barrier.
- 19:04SPEAKER_00: What's inside of me.
- 19:06SPEAKER_00: That's preventing me.
- 19:07SPEAKER_00: To go beyond that.
- 19:09SPEAKER_00: Invisible limit.
- 19:13SPEAKER_00: And so.
- 19:14SPEAKER_00: That's when.
- 19:16SPEAKER_00: The hero's journey begins.
- 19:17SPEAKER_00: When you start asking yourself.
- 19:19SPEAKER_00: These hard questions.
- 19:20SPEAKER_00: And eventually.
- 19:23SPEAKER_00: If you do it well enough.
- 19:24SPEAKER_00: You're going to discover some pretty.
- 19:27SPEAKER_00: Hard truths.
- 19:29SPEAKER_00: about yourself,
- 19:30SPEAKER_00: about your family,
- 19:31SPEAKER_00: about your ancestors,
- 19:33SPEAKER_00: about the world,
- 19:34SPEAKER_00: about energy,
- 19:36SPEAKER_00: about your spirit,
- 19:37SPEAKER_00: about your soul,
- 19:38SPEAKER_00: about everything you thought you knew to be true about yourself.
- 19:44SPEAKER_00: Truth is what it is.
- 19:47SPEAKER_00: You can either bend it to its will or you can continue living a lie.
- 19:55But,
- 19:56hey,
- 19:57I'd rather swallow a hard truth than continue living a lie,
- 20:01especially these days.
- 20:03SPEAKER_00: So, I mean, this is just a quick touch on what fear really is.
- 20:09SPEAKER_00: And ultimately, when it comes down to it, everything is energy, right?
- 20:12SPEAKER_00: So we have energy, vibration, and frequency.
- 20:16SPEAKER_00: So those three elements make up our known reality.
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: So fear is an energy.
- 20:23SPEAKER_00: It's a frequency.
- 20:25SPEAKER_00: that sits somewhere in your system.
- 20:28SPEAKER_00: It's stored within the cells.
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: It's stored in your fascia.
- 20:32SPEAKER_00: It's stored in the muscles.
- 20:34SPEAKER_00: And your subconscious is blocking access to it, right?
- 20:36SPEAKER_00: Because the pain would just be too much to bear.
- 20:38SPEAKER_00: At least that's what it thinks.
- 20:41So when you start to dig into that deep vault and you start
- 20:48releasing some of that
- 20:49SPEAKER_00: fear,
- 20:49SPEAKER_00: you start to realize,
- 20:50SPEAKER_00: wait a second,
- 20:52That way of behaving or that way of thinking about myself,
- 20:57I don't want to do that anymore.
- 20:58SPEAKER_00: It doesn't serve me.
- 21:00Self-criticism or self-doubt or whatever the case may be or
- 21:05financial limits or
- 21:07worries or financial stressors that I'm putting upon myself
- 21:12because my dad or my
- 21:14SPEAKER_00: mom used to do that all the time when I was growing up.
- 21:17SPEAKER_00: So I picked it up.
- 21:18My subconscious absorbed it like a sponge when I was zero to
- 21:21six years old.
- 21:23SPEAKER_00: So everyone goes through that.
- 21:24SPEAKER_00: So whatever happened to you,
- 21:26SPEAKER_00: whatever happens in your environment when you were zero to six years old,
- 21:29SPEAKER_00: that went directly into your subconscious.
- 21:33SPEAKER_00: So fear is energy, and that energy has to come out.
- 21:37SPEAKER_00: And there's different ways it can come out.
- 21:39SPEAKER_00: Obviously,
- 21:39SPEAKER_00: with plant medicine,
- 21:40SPEAKER_00: there are several ways that the energy can discharge from your system.
- 21:45SPEAKER_00: It doesn't always have to require purging.
- 21:48SPEAKER_00: There are certain plants that not necessarily make you purge.
- 21:52So each plant is designed to do a specific job,
- 21:55depending on where you are in your journey.
- 21:57That's why,
- 21:57again,
- 21:57it helps to have someone who's very proficient with that.
- 22:01SPEAKER_00: And then once you realize, oh, it's just energy.
- 22:08SPEAKER_00: But it's such intense,
- 22:10SPEAKER_00: jagged,
- 22:11SPEAKER_00: chaotic,
- 22:12SPEAKER_00: discordant,
- 22:14SPEAKER_00: ugly,
- 22:16SPEAKER_00: loud even energy that's messing up my system.
- 22:22SPEAKER_00: And at the root core, I know I am peaceful.
- 22:25SPEAKER_00: I know I am love.
- 22:26SPEAKER_00: I know I am harmony.
- 22:29SPEAKER_00: Our souls, they come from God.
- 22:31They come from the creator,
- 22:32the source of all creation,
- 22:34whatever that is to you.
- 22:37So anything that's between your true essence and your physical
- 22:45perfect life,
- 22:46right?
- 22:47SPEAKER_00: There's fear, there's pain, there's anxiety, whatever the case may be.
- 22:51SPEAKER_00: And so the more we remove these blocks,
- 22:53SPEAKER_00: the more we shed these old heavy emotions,
- 22:58SPEAKER_00: the more our real self,
- 22:59SPEAKER_00: the more our pure soul is going to express itself physically.
- 23:04SPEAKER_00: We're going to have better thoughts about ourselves.
- 23:06SPEAKER_00: We're going to have better emotions about ourselves.
- 23:08SPEAKER_00: We're going to have less brain fog.
- 23:09SPEAKER_00: We're going to be clear and coherent.
- 23:12SPEAKER_00: More awareness about our surroundings.
- 23:13SPEAKER_00: We're going to be more emotionally intelligent.
- 23:17SPEAKER_00: We're not going to have these self-imposed limits on ourselves.
- 23:24SPEAKER_00: So think of it that way.
- 23:25You're taking apart an invisible prison that you have built
- 23:32around yourself.
- 23:35SPEAKER_00: And all we have to do, the key is within us.
- 23:37We have the key to our own freedom,
- 23:40our own inner self-expression and freedom.
- 23:44SPEAKER_00: But...
- 23:45SPEAKER_00: The cost for that is facing your pain,
- 23:49SPEAKER_00: facing your fear,
- 23:50SPEAKER_00: facing your anxiety,
- 23:53SPEAKER_00: letting your self-doubt come out,
- 23:54SPEAKER_00: letting your worry come out.
- 23:57SPEAKER_00: Whatever the case may be, let it all come out.
- 23:59SPEAKER_00: It has to come out.
- 24:00SPEAKER_00: It's just energy.
- 24:02SPEAKER_00: Yes, it's probably going to be painful.
- 24:04SPEAKER_00: And yes, it's going to be very scary when that shit comes out.
- 24:08SPEAKER_00: But it has to be done.
- 24:10SPEAKER_00: There is no other way.
- 24:11SPEAKER_00: The self-healing.
- 24:14SPEAKER_00: is how we heal our species.
- 24:17SPEAKER_00: That is how we heal our planet or plane, whatever you prefer.
- 24:23SPEAKER_00: We have to do the inner work first.
- 24:26SPEAKER_00: Stop worrying about the outside world.
- 24:28SPEAKER_00: The outside world is crazy.
- 24:29SPEAKER_00: It's a theater.
- 24:30SPEAKER_00: It's a show.
- 24:32SPEAKER_00: All the world's a stage, and you and I are merely players.
- 24:34SPEAKER_00: That's what Shakespeare said many centuries ago.
- 24:38SPEAKER_00: He knew what was going on.
- 24:41SPEAKER_00: So don't care.
- 24:43SPEAKER_00: Don't pay attention to the outer world.
- 24:45SPEAKER_00: Look within.
- 24:46Look within and look at your patterns,
- 24:49look at your fears,
- 24:50look at your pain.
- 24:51SPEAKER_00: Let it come out.
- 24:54SPEAKER_00: That is the way to true healing yourself,
- 24:56SPEAKER_00: your relationships,
- 24:58SPEAKER_00: your reality,
- 25:00SPEAKER_00: and ultimately our entire species and our collective consciousness.
