Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_00: Welcome to another episode of the As A Man Awaketh pod share.
- 0:05SPEAKER_00: Well, I gotta say, for some reason, one of my Substack notes recently went...
- 0:15SPEAKER_00: Mildly viral,
- 0:17SPEAKER_00: certainly more viral than anything I've ever posted
- 0:20SPEAKER_00: on any social media has ever gone.
- 0:22SPEAKER_00: And since then, I've received a lot more subscriptions, a lot more subscribers.
- 0:29SPEAKER_00: So first of all, I would like to Thank you all for subscribing and welcome my new subscribers.
- 0:35SPEAKER_00: Thank you so much for being here.
- 0:37SPEAKER_00: And it's been kind of an interesting experiment.
- 0:42SPEAKER_00: I think I've talked about this before in 2021 with everything.
- 0:45SPEAKER_00: Everything happening with the election and the censorship,
- 0:48SPEAKER_00: especially around the social media outlets,
- 0:52SPEAKER_00: I decided to leave social media behind almost completely.
- 0:55SPEAKER_00: I left Facebook, I left Instagram, and I think Twitter too at the time.
- 1:02SPEAKER_00: And ever since then, I've noticed what life is like without social media.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: And it's been really nice, honestly.
- 1:11SPEAKER_00: And now that I'm sort of being asked to come back into this field
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: and noticing how people reply to certain notes and certain memes that I post,
- 1:25SPEAKER_00: I sort of got a reminder of what the internet is really like
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: when you're Putting yourself out there, both in good ways and in not so good ways.
- 1:35SPEAKER_00: But I got to say,
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: the overwhelmingly response from my posts and the memes that I post and
- 1:43SPEAKER_00: the notes here in Substack are positive.
- 1:46SPEAKER_00: So thank you all.
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: Welcome new subscribers.
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: The way I do things here with the pod share is I really most of
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: the time don't really have any topic Prepared or even notes in front of me, nothing.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: I just trust myself and I drop into my heart and I just allow myself to be in flow
- 2:05SPEAKER_00: and trust that whatever is coming out is something of value and that may help one
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: or two of you.
- 2:12SPEAKER_00: So thank you for being here, number one.
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: And number two, I'd like to start out today.
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: By saying that I love you.
- 2:33SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: I don't know most of you.
- 2:37SPEAKER_00: Certainly,
- 2:39SPEAKER_00: if you're listening to this on a different platform other than Substack,
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: I don't even know you for Asamanawaketh,
- 2:45SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh,

- 3:07SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh,
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh, Asamanawaketh, Asamanawaketh, Asamanawaketh, Asaman Doesn't matter.
- 3:12SPEAKER_00: But we all have access to love.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: Now, of course,
- 3:15SPEAKER_00: if you've been with me for a while,
- 3:17SPEAKER_00: you know that love is primarily hidden and locked behind the pain and fear
- 3:24SPEAKER_00: that we all go through as children most of the time.
- 3:28SPEAKER_00: And so in order to really express love in the world,
- 3:32SPEAKER_00: we must first release the armor of pain and fear
- 3:38SPEAKER_00: that has been built up around our heart.
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: So I've been on that journey.
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: For the last couple of years, I really started my own healing journey in 2022.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: And since then, I've made a lot of progress, if I can say so safely, myself.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: And I've seen the benefits of that.
- 3:59SPEAKER_00: But regardless, we'll maybe get into that later.
- 4:01SPEAKER_00: I just wanted to say that I am in a place now where I can love you.
- 4:09SPEAKER_00: Even though I don't know you,
- 4:10SPEAKER_00: I can love you just for being you, just because you are, just because you exist.
- 4:19SPEAKER_00: Because creation,
- 4:20SPEAKER_00: whichever label you would like to give the creator,
- 4:24SPEAKER_00: creation itself decided is important for you to be alive right now.
- 4:31SPEAKER_00: There is And there is a mission, there is purpose to your life in creation itself.
- 4:40SPEAKER_00: And that alone is reason for me to love you.
- 4:46SPEAKER_00: Because I am one of creation, so are you.
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: We are all coming from the same source.
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: And you are my brother, you are my sister.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: And that's why I love you.
- 4:59SPEAKER_00: And
- 5:01SPEAKER_00: It's taken me a long time to get to this place,
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: but I believe that this is what all the
- 5:10SPEAKER_00: Senate Masters that have come here try
- 5:13SPEAKER_00: to teach us.
- 5:14SPEAKER_00: Unconditional love is loving people just because they are.
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: And when you look into why the world and its people are in so much pain,
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: It is precisely because there is so little love.
- 5:36SPEAKER_00: Many of you grew up in a family where love was not well shared, not received, not given.
- 5:48SPEAKER_00: I talked about this during my last episode.
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: There was not as much love from my dad that I received during my childhood.
- 6:01SPEAKER_00: And I know many people have the same experience,
- 6:04SPEAKER_00: whether it's one parent or both parents,
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: or maybe you didn't even have any parents whatsoever.
- 6:09SPEAKER_00: And so you grow up as a child with the experience that love is scarce.
- 6:18SPEAKER_00: That people don't give much love.
- 6:21SPEAKER_00: Certainly the people that are supposed to love you even don't give you enough love.
- 6:27SPEAKER_00: And so you grow up in a world thinking that I cannot love other people,
- 6:35SPEAKER_00: let alone myself, because love is such a scarce resource that people hold on to it.
- 6:42SPEAKER_00: They don't like to share it, right?
- 6:43SPEAKER_00: So people are stingy with love.
- 6:47SPEAKER_00: And...
- 6:49SPEAKER_00: Then you extrapolate that into adulthood and into really all societies,
- 6:57SPEAKER_00: doesn't matter what religious background you have or cultural background you have.
- 7:02SPEAKER_00: We see this across mankind,
- 7:05SPEAKER_00: no matter which country or what culture,
- 7:08SPEAKER_00: is that most of the time, in most societies, there is a lack of love.
- 7:15SPEAKER_00: Why is that?
- 7:17SPEAKER_00: Why are we afraid to love each other?
- 7:21SPEAKER_00: Why is that?
- 7:24SPEAKER_00: And I don't have the answer for that.
- 7:25SPEAKER_00: Now, part of the answer is,
- 7:27SPEAKER_00: like I said,
- 7:28SPEAKER_00: the wounding and the trauma and the pain and the fear that we encounter as children.
- 7:36SPEAKER_00: And so that creates this armor around the heart.
- 7:39SPEAKER_00: And so it's actually...
- 7:41SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh,
- 7:41SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh,
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh,
- 7:44SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh,

- 8:24SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh,
- 8:24SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh,
- 8:25SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh,
- 8:25SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh,
- 8:26SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh,
- 8:26SPEAKER_00: Asamanawaketh, Asamanawaketh, Asamanawaketh, Asaman What's the solution then?
- 8:33SPEAKER_00: Well, of course, loving more people just because they are, without judgment, without prejudice.
- 8:43SPEAKER_00: And if you find that this is difficult,
- 8:49SPEAKER_00: especially the people in this world that intentionally either plan to
- 8:58SPEAKER_00: or actually harm other people, Well, where do you think that's coming from?
- 9:05SPEAKER_00: When someone is in a state where they have to hurt others,
- 9:14SPEAKER_00: they are in such immense and repressed pain that they don't know what to do.
- 9:23SPEAKER_00: And so they're trying to get rid of their pain by projecting it and inflicting it on others.
- 9:32SPEAKER_00: Subconsciously thinking that if I project and put my pain outside of myself and
- 9:40SPEAKER_00: onto others, maybe that's going to reduce the pain that I feel in myself.
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: Now, of course,
- 9:46SPEAKER_00: no one is thinking logically about this the way I just explained it,
- 9:51SPEAKER_00: but that's what's happening underneath, underneath it all.
- 9:57SPEAKER_00: So when you encounter someone that's mean, right?
- 10:03SPEAKER_00: Best example is when you're on the road,
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: on the highway or somewhere,
- 10:08SPEAKER_00: and someone's cutting you off very rudely and dangerously,
- 10:15SPEAKER_00: what's your first reaction?
- 10:19SPEAKER_00: Are you like, okay, maybe they have a reason to be rushing right now?
- 10:25SPEAKER_00: Or do you curse at them?
- 10:28SPEAKER_00: You flip them off.
- 10:29SPEAKER_00: You roll down your window and you shout at them.
- 10:34SPEAKER_00: Depending on where you live, that's kind of a commonplace thing in big cities often.
- 10:40SPEAKER_00: But really, they didn't do anything.
- 10:44SPEAKER_00: Yes, I understand that they may have caused a dangerous situation that may have
- 10:52SPEAKER_00: or could have been leading to an accident, but it didn't.
- 10:57SPEAKER_00: So really there was no injury to you.
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: And yet you still felt triggered and you still screamed at them and flipped them off
- 11:07SPEAKER_00: or whatever you did or cursed at them.
- 11:10SPEAKER_00: So what really happened?
- 11:14SPEAKER_00: They created a situation that triggered a subconscious memory in you of your pain in the past.
- 11:27SPEAKER_00: And so the wound is most sensitive to a situation that is similar in resonance.
- 11:39SPEAKER_00: So when you felt endangered during that instance when someone's cutting you off,
- 11:45SPEAKER_00: when was the first time in your life as a child where you felt endangered?
- 11:52SPEAKER_00: Now,
- 11:52SPEAKER_00: you may not remember that because our subconscious mind is picking up everything
- 11:59SPEAKER_00: as soon as it develops inside the womb and,
- 12:02SPEAKER_00: of course,
- 12:03SPEAKER_00: birth and the first couple of years,
- 12:05SPEAKER_00: up to six years when we don't really have Asamanawaketh,
- 12:07SPEAKER_00: As A Man Awaketh, As A Man Awaketh.
- 12:23SPEAKER_00: So, all of these traumatic experiences,
- 12:27SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 12:28SPEAKER_00: in this instance,
- 12:29SPEAKER_00: when you felt endangered,
- 12:31SPEAKER_00: that's still in you,
- 12:32SPEAKER_00: somewhere in your nervous system and somewhere stuck in some of the cells,
- 12:36SPEAKER_00: muscle tissue, you know, could even be in your tendons.
- 12:43SPEAKER_00: So, that's what's really happening.
- 12:45SPEAKER_00: And that's, you know, that's why people get triggered.
- 12:49SPEAKER_00: What is a trigger?
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: Well, a trigger is exactly...
- 12:52SPEAKER_00: Poking that initial, you know, original pain of yours.
- 12:59SPEAKER_00: And because you're not aware of it,
- 13:00SPEAKER_00: because it's a subconscious pain,
- 13:02SPEAKER_00: you just think that,
- 13:03SPEAKER_00: oh, this person was rude to me, and that's why I have to lash out.
- 13:06SPEAKER_00: I have to defend myself, because I am in danger.
- 13:11SPEAKER_00: No, you're not in danger.
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: If someone's, you know, challenging your beliefs or your opinions...
- 13:19SPEAKER_00: You're not in any danger,
- 13:21SPEAKER_00: but because your subconscious wants to protect you,
- 13:25SPEAKER_00: it's saying, okay,
- 13:26SPEAKER_00: this person is threatening my belief system or my opinions or whatever,
- 13:32SPEAKER_00: and therefore I have to defend myself because otherwise I'm in danger.
- 13:38SPEAKER_00: What does danger mean?
- 13:38SPEAKER_00: Well, ultimately, danger can lead to death.
- 13:41SPEAKER_00: So I have to defend myself to not die.
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: I know it sounds ridiculous,
- 13:45SPEAKER_00: but But when you really study the subconscious and the psyche
- 13:50SPEAKER_00: and how
- 13:52SPEAKER_00: repressed trauma, pain and fear works, this is exactly how it works.
- 13:59SPEAKER_00: So in essence,
- 14:01SPEAKER_00: we're just a bunch of toddlers, really,
- 14:04SPEAKER_00: running around in adult meat suits and adult bodies,
- 14:09SPEAKER_00: acting out our childhood pain and fear.
- 14:14SPEAKER_00: That's it.
- 14:15SPEAKER_00: Now, of course, when you extrapolate that, and that's the ego, basically.
- 14:21SPEAKER_00: The ego is just a construct that is projecting and protecting based on the fear and
- 14:30SPEAKER_00: the pain of your childhood.
- 14:32SPEAKER_00: So now, once you have that model,
- 14:36SPEAKER_00: put it onto any kind of narcissist or dictator,
- 14:43SPEAKER_00: any kind of celebrity or politician,
- 14:46SPEAKER_00: any person in the public that has acted outrageously and did so without remorse.
- 14:54SPEAKER_00: Because in their belief system, they're just protecting themselves.
- 14:59SPEAKER_00: That's it.
- 15:00SPEAKER_00: They're protecting their childhood wound, their childhood fear and pain.
- 15:05SPEAKER_00: And unfortunately, in many cases, they're projecting that out into the world.
- 15:11SPEAKER_00: And then, you know, the common folks are the ones that suffer.
- 15:19SPEAKER_00: That's really the basis of war, if you think about it.
- 15:24SPEAKER_00: So anyway, what's the solution?
- 15:25SPEAKER_00: Well, the solution, as always, is to face yourself.
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: Face your fear, face your pain, work on yourself.
- 15:35SPEAKER_00: Now there's thousands if not millions of different modalities, some more effective than others.
- 15:45SPEAKER_00: You just got to find your thing.
- 15:46SPEAKER_00: Now, of course,
- 15:47SPEAKER_00: if you've been following me for a while,
- 15:48SPEAKER_00: you know that I'm a big fan of professionally guided psychedelics because that is
- 15:54SPEAKER_00: an accelerator.
- 15:56SPEAKER_00: There's nothing in the world,
- 15:58SPEAKER_00: and even mainstream science is now acknowledging that and seeing it
- 16:04SPEAKER_00: with their own eyes,
- 16:05SPEAKER_00: and they cannot ignore it anymore,
- 16:07SPEAKER_00: that certain psychedelics such as psilocybin or magic mushrooms or whatever you want
- 16:12SPEAKER_00: to call it, the psilocybin is the molecule that has the psychedelic effect.
- 16:17SPEAKER_00: Psilocybin is one of the only substances known to man that creates neuroplasticity.
- 16:26SPEAKER_00: It creates a
- 16:33SPEAKER_00: relaxing of the mind,
- 16:34SPEAKER_00: of the neural network, and it allows someone to restructure it.
- 16:41SPEAKER_00: So there's many studies being done now in major universities all around the world
- 16:47SPEAKER_00: with psilocybin and other...
- 16:50SPEAKER_00: Psychedelics as well, like Iboga, for example, Ibogaine.
- 16:54SPEAKER_00: So they're seeing and they're doing these live brain scans while someone is,
- 17:01SPEAKER_00: you know, imbibing these medicines.
- 17:04SPEAKER_00: They're seeing in real time.
- 17:06SPEAKER_00: How brain tissue and neural networks are being reshuffled and reorganized
- 17:12SPEAKER_00: and one part sort of dissolves over here and
- 17:15SPEAKER_00: then it reconstructs itself somewhere else.
- 17:19SPEAKER_00: It is a major accelerator on your journey of self-healing,
- 17:23SPEAKER_00: of self-discovery and of facing your pain.
- 17:28SPEAKER_00: It's the most complete and the most holistic way that I've seen.
- 17:33SPEAKER_00: And I've been in this field for a while.
- 17:35SPEAKER_00: I basically started in the self-development world back in 2009.
- 17:40SPEAKER_00: Really, this was when I started.
- 17:42SPEAKER_00: I started reading the books, what have you, Napoleon Hill and all those things.
- 17:48SPEAKER_00: So, but I did a lot of meditation and I did other things,
- 17:52SPEAKER_00: you know, self-development courses and whatnot.
- 17:54SPEAKER_00: But it was, and it helped, it all helped.
- 17:58SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to discount any of that.
- 18:00SPEAKER_00: But the ultimate and the fastest way of change and healing was
- 18:08SPEAKER_00: with professionally guided plant medicine.
- 18:12SPEAKER_00: So, and, you know, I always say professionally guided because, yes, you can do it yourself.
- 18:17SPEAKER_00: As well,
- 18:18SPEAKER_00: but you won't have someone who can guide you through darkness,
- 18:23SPEAKER_00: because many times throughout your journey,
- 18:26SPEAKER_00: you will have to face your darkness,
- 18:28SPEAKER_00: and it is, you know, what many call the The unconscious self.
- 18:36SPEAKER_00: And it is that part of you that you've been running away from.
- 18:40SPEAKER_00: That you don't want to face.
- 18:41SPEAKER_00: You don't want to admit to yourself that you're like your father.
- 18:44SPEAKER_00: That you're like your mother.
- 18:45SPEAKER_00: That you're like your siblings.
- 18:47SPEAKER_00: Or whoever had a big influence on you during your childhood.
- 18:51SPEAKER_00: That's in many cases extremely painful to face and to admit to yourself.
- 18:57SPEAKER_00: I had to do that many times.
- 18:59SPEAKER_00: Still doing it to this day.
- 19:02SPEAKER_00: Because we don't want to admit to ourselves that we're like our parents.
- 19:07SPEAKER_00: Both in good ways and unfortunately in most ways also the bad traits
- 19:12SPEAKER_00: that we picked up from our families.
- 19:15SPEAKER_00: And also in some ways that we're dating or we're looking for a partner
- 19:24SPEAKER_00: that is very similar to Like our mother or our father,
- 19:30SPEAKER_00: depending on who we wanted more love from.
- 19:35SPEAKER_00: And so once you realize that,
- 19:36SPEAKER_00: man, that is such a reality-shattering truth that many people can't handle.
- 19:45SPEAKER_00: So that's why I'm saying if you go into psychedelic therapy,
- 19:50SPEAKER_00: you must have someone who knows what they're doing,
- 19:54SPEAKER_00: who has been there before,
- 19:56SPEAKER_00: not just someone who studied it,
- 19:58SPEAKER_00: But who's walked the path themselves,
- 20:02SPEAKER_00: that understand fear,
- 20:04SPEAKER_00: that understand how the subconscious works,
- 20:07SPEAKER_00: that understand how your fear will try to trick you and tell you that,
- 20:11SPEAKER_00: no, you're healed.
- 20:12SPEAKER_00: You've worked on this a long time.
- 20:14SPEAKER_00: You don't have to deal with it anymore.
- 20:15SPEAKER_00: You don't have to look at it anymore.
- 20:17SPEAKER_00: Don't go there.
- 20:18SPEAKER_00: It's over.
- 20:19SPEAKER_00: It's done.
- 20:19SPEAKER_00: You're good.
- 20:22SPEAKER_00: Because we are excellent at
- 20:29SPEAKER_00: What's the word?
- 20:31SPEAKER_00: At deceiving ourselves and telling ourselves stories about ourselves and,
- 20:38SPEAKER_00: you know, I'm a good person and I'm a this and I'm a that.
- 20:41SPEAKER_00: When in reality,
- 20:42SPEAKER_00: when you try to observe yourself and you try to compare the stories
- 20:48SPEAKER_00: that you're telling yourself versus the actual reality,
- 20:51SPEAKER_00: okay, How are people reacting to you?
- 20:54SPEAKER_00: Like you're saying, okay, I'm a good guy.
- 20:57SPEAKER_00: I'm a good person.
- 20:58SPEAKER_00: I'm generous.
- 21:00SPEAKER_00: But then you don't end up paying for your friends at dinner ever.
- 21:04SPEAKER_00: Are you really generous?
- 21:08SPEAKER_00: So that's one piece you can start to look at is try to find the gaps.

- 21:43SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, when something continues happening in your life, there's a pattern, right?
- 21:48SPEAKER_00: As soon as you establish a certain pattern, like,
- 21:51SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 21:51SPEAKER_00: you find a partner,
- 21:52SPEAKER_00: but then after six months or so,
- 21:54SPEAKER_00: you always break up with them,
- 21:55SPEAKER_00: or it ends in catastrophe, or whatever, or you lose jobs all the time, or whatever.
- 22:01SPEAKER_00: It doesn't matter.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: Whatever situation that keeps showing up in your life, that's a pattern.
- 22:09SPEAKER_00: And that's a story you're telling yourself that's not true.
- 22:13SPEAKER_00: So observe yourself, right?
- 22:16SPEAKER_00: Self-observation is a crucial, absolutely crucial tool on the journey of self-discovery.
- 22:25SPEAKER_00: And one way you can do it Is putting a piece of your
- 22:35SPEAKER_00: subconscious mind,
- 22:36SPEAKER_00: actually, a piece of your awareness behind yourself.
- 22:40SPEAKER_00: So in simple ways, this is called the observing self.
- 22:45SPEAKER_00: You know how there are third-party video games or third-person video games where
- 22:52SPEAKER_00: the camera is behind the character, right?
- 22:54SPEAKER_00: And so that's basically how you would do it.
- 22:57SPEAKER_00: You put the camera,
- 22:58SPEAKER_00: you put a piece of your awareness outside of yourself to the right and behind you
- 23:05SPEAKER_00: and observe yourself.
- 23:06SPEAKER_00: And it's going to take a lot of resources at first, but then it's going to get easier over time.
- 23:11SPEAKER_00: So...
- 23:12SPEAKER_00: That's one way,
- 23:14SPEAKER_00: a very easy way and simple way to start observing yourself and look at the gaps.
- 23:17SPEAKER_00: What are the stories that I'm telling myself and what's the reality actually playing out?
- 23:23SPEAKER_00: That, my friends, is going to be a wild ride.
- 23:28SPEAKER_00: Anyway, thank you for listening.
