It Can Still Feel Scary as I’m Beginning to See the World Differently Because I’m Becoming Someone Different — The Personal and Spiritual Growth That Helped Me Trust My Higher Power, and Live My Life with Love, Purpose, and Passion · We!

0:01
SPEAKER_00: If you felt lonely, isolated, disconnected, with an empty feeling inside and just yearning for more, knowing something is missing, then this podcast is for you.
0:16
SPEAKER_00: So here's your host, Joe Mittigan.
0:27
SPEAKER_01: Hello and welcome to We.
0:32
SPEAKER_01: There was a time in my life when I believed that if the world around me would just change, then maybe I could finally be happy.
0:42
SPEAKER_01: If people would change, if my relationships would change, if my circumstances would change, if the world, you know, would just become a little less divided, a little less angry, and a little less afraid, then maybe I don't know, just maybe, I could finally feel the peace I've been looking for.
1:04
SPEAKER_01: But something is happening to me that honestly I never expected.
1:10
SPEAKER_01: The world hasn't necessarily changed at all.
1:14
SPEAKER_01: But I have.
1:16
SPEAKER_01: And as I continued changing internally, I'm beginning to see everything around me differently.
1:25
SPEAKER_01: The people in my life look different to me.
1:29
SPEAKER_01: My relationships feel different.
1:33
SPEAKER_01: Success looks very different.
1:36
SPEAKER_01: My dreams look different.
1:38
SPEAKER_01: Even the things I once believed were important don't always feel as important anymore.
1:46
SPEAKER_01: And as exciting as that can be, to be honest with you, quite honestly, it can feel pretty scary.
1:54
SPEAKER_01: Because when I begin becoming someone different, I can't always see the world through the same eyes I used to.
2:03
SPEAKER_01: For much of my life, I be I viewed the world through my fears.
2:08
SPEAKER_01: I worried about what people thought about me.
2:11
SPEAKER_01: I worried about whether I was successful enough.
2:14
SPEAKER_01: I worried about whether I was good enough.
2:17
SPEAKER_01: I tried to control people, circumstances, and outcomes, because I thought controlling my external world would somehow give me peace inside myself.
2:30
SPEAKER_01: But the more I healed my internal world, the more I'm beginning to understand something.
2:38
SPEAKER_01: Maybe my external world was never where my peace was supposed to come from.
2:44
SPEAKER_01: Maybe peace begins in me.
2:48
SPEAKER_01: Maybe love begins inside of me.
2:51
SPEAKER_01: Maybe purpose begins inside of me.
2:55
SPEAKER_01: And maybe, just maybe, when those things begin changing inside of me, the entire world I experience begins to change too.
3:09
SPEAKER_01: And that doesn't mean the world suddenly becomes perfect.
3:13
SPEAKER_01: People are still going to hurt each other.
3:16
SPEAKER_01: Relationships are still going to change.
3:19
SPEAKER_01: Life still becomes uncertain.
3:22
SPEAKER_01: And there's still fear, anger, division, and pain all around us.
3:29
SPEAKER_01: And I'm beginning to realize that I don't have to become what I see around me, though.
3:36
SPEAKER_01: I can choose something different.
3:39
SPEAKER_01: I can choose love instead of fear.
3:42
SPEAKER_01: I can choose understanding instead of judgment.
3:45
SPEAKER_01: I can choose compassion instead of anger.
3:49
SPEAKER_01: I can choose faith instead of trying to control everything.
3:54
SPEAKER_01: I can ask my higher power to guide me towards the person I was created to become.
4:02
SPEAKER_01: But even that can feel scary because becoming someone different sometimes means questioning things I've always believed for years.
4:15
SPEAKER_01: It means looking at relationships differently.
4:18
SPEAKER_01: It means looking at success differently.
4:22
SPEAKER_01: It means looking at myself very, very differently.
4:27
SPEAKER_01: And sometimes it means realizing that the life I once thought I wanted may not be the life my soul is asking me to live.
4:39
SPEAKER_01: So today we're going to talk about what happens when our internal transformation begins changing the way we experience our external world.
4:53
SPEAKER_01: We're going to talk about why growth can feel uncomfortable, even when it's leading us somewhere beautiful.
5:00
SPEAKER_01: We're going to talk about why seeing the world differently doesn't necessarily mean the world has changed.
5:08
SPEAKER_01: It means we did.
5:11
SPEAKER_01: And we're going to explore how trusting our higher power can help us stop allowing the fear around us to determine the life within us.
5:23
SPEAKER_01: Because I'm beginning to believe I don't have to wait for the entire world to change before I can experience love.
5:31
SPEAKER_01: I don't have to wait for everything around me to change before I can discover peace.
5:38
SPEAKER_01: I don't have to know exactly where this transformation is taking me before I begin living with purpose and passion.
5:49
SPEAKER_01: Maybe I simply have to keep becoming, keep trusting, keep loving, and keep allowing my higher power to show me differently how life can look when I become different first.
6:07
SPEAKER_01: My name is Joe Mittigan, and this is We.
6:11
SPEAKER_01: Welcome to We, everybody.
6:14
SPEAKER_01: It's an amazing night here in Atlanta, Georgia, and super excited to be with you guys tonight.
6:20
SPEAKER_01: And we're finally getting a little bit of the break.
6:24
SPEAKER_01: Here in Atlanta, the Southeast, we definitely have the four seasons, and our summers can be pretty brutal, you know, 100 degrees.
6:34
SPEAKER_01: And my son especially knows that.
6:36
SPEAKER_01: He's a college athlete now.
6:38
SPEAKER_01: He's out on AstroTurf, 100 degrees outside, 120 on the field.
6:43
SPEAKER_01: And they work through it.
6:45
SPEAKER_01: You know, they're tough, and it's all part of the sport.
6:48
SPEAKER_01: It's all part of living here in Atlanta.
6:50
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, we get a couple months that it gets pretty cold.
6:53
SPEAKER_01: Nothing like the north where I grew up.
6:55
SPEAKER_01: And quite honestly, it's hot here in Atlanta, but not near as hot as it can be, you know, Texas, South Louisiana, high humidities.
7:04
SPEAKER_01: But it's getting a little cooler.
7:05
SPEAKER_01: And it's just, it's beautiful when it when this time of the year happens.
7:09
SPEAKER_01: And over the next couple of months, it'll be extremely beautiful here.
7:13
SPEAKER_01: The Wii podcast is something that I have a real passion about.
7:17
SPEAKER_01: And today we're going to talk about passions.
7:19
SPEAKER_01: We're going to talk about purpose.
7:20
SPEAKER_01: We're going to talk about the why.
7:22
SPEAKER_01: Like so many of the episodes, and I'm talking about the emotional healing and the grief and the anger and the angst and the I can't breathe and all that.
7:30
SPEAKER_01: And you know, that's real life.
7:32
SPEAKER_01: It is.
7:33
SPEAKER_01: And the other side, the reason we need to do it is because living from that same emotional sense, but where fullness and overflow is your guidance system versus empty and fear, life becomes a totally different thing.
7:51
SPEAKER_01: It really does.
7:51
SPEAKER_01: And we're going to talk about that totally different thing today.
7:55
SPEAKER_01: We're going to talk about the human transformation of why the Wii Podcast is here and what I believe all of you have the potential to do.
8:06
SPEAKER_01: So welcome.
8:07
SPEAKER_01: I again I want to just thank everybody.
8:09
SPEAKER_01: I want to thank you for your support.
8:11
SPEAKER_01: I really, really do.
8:12
SPEAKER_01: I always like mentioning that the We podcast now, I think we're like in 25 countries around the globe.
8:19
SPEAKER_01: We're ranked in eight or nine or 10 countries: Norway, United Kingdom, Canada, Kenya, Malaysia, South Korea, Germany, and a brand new country on board now, Oman.
8:34
SPEAKER_01: And I thought, I kind of heard of Oman.
8:37
SPEAKER_01: I didn't even know where it was.
8:38
SPEAKER_01: Well, it's right there in the Middle East.
8:40
SPEAKER_01: And welcome everybody from Oman.
8:42
SPEAKER_01: I am so excited that you're here.
8:45
SPEAKER_01: And every time I share that part of the global experience called We Podcast, I have to remind people why that's so exciting to me.
8:55
SPEAKER_01: And it's exciting to me because as a humanity, we're waking up.
8:59
SPEAKER_01: And it doesn't matter where you live, it doesn't matter the color of your skin.
9:03
SPEAKER_01: It doesn't matter, matter the religion or your gender, it doesn't matter your sexual orientation.
9:07
SPEAKER_01: None of that matters.
9:08
SPEAKER_01: If you're human, you are waking up.
9:11
SPEAKER_01: And what is it that you're waking up to?
9:14
SPEAKER_01: You're waking up to the feminine side of yourself.
9:17
SPEAKER_01: And the feminine side of yourself is where emotions and your spirituality live.
9:22
SPEAKER_01: It's where it resides inside.
9:24
SPEAKER_01: Your Christ consciousness resides in your feminine side of self.
9:29
SPEAKER_01: And as that part is waking up, and as we're becoming more and more connected to it, I'm going to give you some examples of people that have followed that over their lifetimes.
9:41
SPEAKER_01: And you'll know their names because they've created billion-dollar organizations that have literally changed the way the world functions.
9:49
SPEAKER_01: And we're going to talk about that.
9:51
SPEAKER_01: We're also going to talk about the you know the emotional side of stuff.
9:56
SPEAKER_01: And because it's necessary.
9:58
SPEAKER_01: You know, I tell people all the time if we're going to heal humanity, we have to help everybody understand that emotions are a good thing.
10:07
SPEAKER_01: They are part of who you are.
10:09
SPEAKER_01: We are a spiritual and emotional being equal to a physical and mental being.
10:16
SPEAKER_01: And the challenge with the emotional component of ourselves is that's the part that so very often is used against other people.
10:26
SPEAKER_01: People get angry and then they take their anger out.
10:29
SPEAKER_01: It causes harm, it causes fear, it causes destruction.
10:33
SPEAKER_01: And I say it all the time, you know, fellas, this taking your anger out on your partners, that's got to stop.
10:39
SPEAKER_01: And hopefully, if you've been on my podcast for any length of time, you're taking my advice.
10:43
SPEAKER_01: And for new people, the advice is 15 minutes a week, get a wiffle ball bat, a bunch of pictures of people you don't like, take them into the bedroom, either at your house or your buddy's house.
10:55
SPEAKER_01: I always use the example.
10:56
SPEAKER_01: It's football weekend.
10:57
SPEAKER_01: Go 15 minutes early.
10:58
SPEAKER_01: Your buddies won't care.
11:00
SPEAKER_01: Your beer will be waiting for you when you're done.
11:02
SPEAKER_01: Go in the bedroom and get your anger out in a healthy way.
11:05
SPEAKER_01: And what does it look like?
11:07
SPEAKER_01: It looks like put pictures on the bed, literally, human pictures.
11:11
SPEAKER_01: You put them on the bed, you take the bat, you put it over your head, and start slamming it down on the bed.
11:16
SPEAKER_01: That's it.
11:17
SPEAKER_01: Over and over and over.
11:19
SPEAKER_01: And you'll see the energetic movement will start to happen.
11:25
SPEAKER_01: And say what you need to say.
11:27
SPEAKER_01: You're in a sacred space.
11:29
SPEAKER_01: And if people can hear you, go somewhere they can't, because this is private to you.
11:33
SPEAKER_01: But it's important.
11:35
SPEAKER_01: The more we can teach people how to get their emotions validated, but then experienced in a healthy way, then the taking of emotions out on each other, the harm caused by unhealthy emotions, it goes away.
11:51
SPEAKER_01: And that's all part of the healing of humanity.
11:54
SPEAKER_01: And of course, you know, I have to remind you that the anger is not the source.
11:58
SPEAKER_01: The anger is kind of the first layer, especially for men, most of the time.
12:03
SPEAKER_01: The layers underneath the anger is hurt.
12:06
SPEAKER_01: It's suppressed emotion.
12:08
SPEAKER_01: And that suppressed emotion is always there because when we were kids, this whole idea of validating our emotions, it didn't exist.
12:16
SPEAKER_01: So that's why we are the generation of change.
12:20
SPEAKER_01: And that's why we're doing it differently.
12:23
SPEAKER_01: The adults on this particular podcast, we're doing it differently.
12:27
SPEAKER_01: And it's time to truly embrace and feel and emote the depths of stuff that weren't felt, embraced, and honored years ago because it's suppressed inside of you.
12:39
SPEAKER_01: All of your unloving voices have an emotional source in your heart, regardless of what's being said out there.
12:45
SPEAKER_01: And you know, there's a lot of different influencers out there that have a different approach to the voices in your head.
12:51
SPEAKER_01: If it's working for you, great.
12:52
SPEAKER_01: I say it all the time.
12:54
SPEAKER_01: Keep doing whatever's working.
12:56
SPEAKER_01: And in that the We podcast is exploding around the globe.
13:00
SPEAKER_01: We're literally ranked 62nd in the rankings of the global rankings in Apple Podcasts on 20 countries around the world, and we're 10 months old, literally tomorrow.
13:11
SPEAKER_01: It just tells me that there's a lot of us that the old styles of healing aren't working anymore.
13:18
SPEAKER_01: And we're searching for and seeking the next thing.
13:21
SPEAKER_01: Does that make the other things right or wrong?
13:24
SPEAKER_01: No.
13:24
SPEAKER_01: It just means that we here at the We Podcast, we're here, I'm here to teach and support and talk about things that will help you literally heal.
13:35
SPEAKER_01: I also tend to challenge some of the human norms.
13:39
SPEAKER_01: And if most of you know, I'm sure that the the country of Nepal was just decimated.
13:47
SPEAKER_01: And I hear this constant, I'm gonna pray for him.
13:53
SPEAKER_01: All right, but what the heck does that do?
13:57
SPEAKER_01: You want to know what it does?
13:59
SPEAKER_01: Nothing.
14:00
SPEAKER_01: It gives you a little bit of a cop-out relief.
14:04
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I prayed for him.
14:06
SPEAKER_01: But you know what, folks?
14:07
SPEAKER_01: God's not codependent.
14:09
SPEAKER_01: What is God gonna do without a human being doing something for?
14:12
SPEAKER_01: And that's what I get the I prayed for.
14:17
SPEAKER_01: Am I making fun of that?
14:18
SPEAKER_01: No, I'm not.
14:20
SPEAKER_01: But what I'm asking you as part of the generation of change, I'm asking you in your prayer to ask for something different.
14:28
SPEAKER_01: Instead of just saying, Oh dear God, please help the people in Nepal and stay on your knees or whatever for a long time and then you feel all better about yourself because you apprayed for them.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: It didn't do anything.
14:41
SPEAKER_01: Why?
14:41
SPEAKER_01: Because God's not codependent.
14:43
SPEAKER_01: Now I'm asking you to say, dear God, show me how I can do something.
14:50
SPEAKER_01: I, me, Joe, can do something to help the people in Nepal.
14:55
SPEAKER_01: That's what I did.
14:56
SPEAKER_01: Well, I started a GoFundMe account.
15:00
SPEAKER_01: Everybody on this podcast can start today, today, whenever you're listening, a GoFundMe account.
15:07
SPEAKER_01: Helping Nepal.
15:09
SPEAKER_01: So instead of the old I prayed for them, acting like that does something and move on with your day feeling better because you prayed.
15:18
SPEAKER_01: I'm asking you now to ask for something you can do to help.
15:24
SPEAKER_01: God can only do for us what God can do through us.
15:29
SPEAKER_01: And that whole concept is a very different thing.
15:33
SPEAKER_01: I say it all the time.
15:34
SPEAKER_01: God is not codependent.
15:36
SPEAKER_01: It's not God's job to rescue anybody anywhere.
15:40
SPEAKER_01: And you can ask for God to help.
15:43
SPEAKER_01: But you know what God is doing?
15:45
SPEAKER_01: He's sending hundreds of thousands of people from around the globe to Nepal to help.
15:51
SPEAKER_01: He's sending millions and billions and billions of dollars to Nepal to help rebuild and to help kids and to help whatever.
16:00
SPEAKER_01: Well, each one of us can be part of that just depending on how you're guided.
16:06
SPEAKER_01: So if you don't want to do your own GoFundMe, go to mine.
16:10
SPEAKER_01: I literally started one.
16:12
SPEAKER_01: Go to helpnepal.world and give$5 to me count.
16:18
SPEAKER_01: I would love to be able to tell the world that the We podcast helped raise$100,000 on my GoFundMe account.
16:25
SPEAKER_01: And I trust, trust me, folks, you will see where every penny of it goes.
16:30
SPEAKER_01: I'm right now interviewing and seeking out caregivers on the ground, human beings in Nepal who've been there forever, just like my Uganda guys.
16:40
SPEAKER_01: I've got a couple people right now in Nepal.
16:43
SPEAKER_01: What do they need?
16:44
SPEAKER_01: Money.
16:45
SPEAKER_01: Why?
16:45
SPEAKER_01: One one group, they just got like 20 more kids.
16:50
SPEAKER_01: Why?
16:50
SPEAKER_01: Because mom and dad are gone.
16:53
SPEAKER_01: Gone.
16:55
SPEAKER_01: And infrastructure doesn't do anything.
16:57
SPEAKER_01: The kids just sit there.
16:58
SPEAKER_01: So if you're not guided to start your own, and if you're not already involved somewhere to take an action step, not praying is not an action step.
17:10
SPEAKER_01: It's not.
17:11
SPEAKER_01: Praying is a great thing, of course it is.
17:13
SPEAKER_01: But as part of the generation of change, it's now time to ask for guidance from your higher power, what you can do.
17:23
SPEAKER_01: Start your own GoFundMe account.
17:25
SPEAKER_01: Well, Joe, I don't know how.
17:26
SPEAKER_01: Gofundme.com.
17:29
SPEAKER_01: Trust me, AI will walk you through the whole thing.
17:32
SPEAKER_01: I don't have anybody to send it to.
17:34
SPEAKER_01: You have a family, you have church, you have people at the baseball game.
17:38
SPEAKER_01: Send it to 20 people.
17:40
SPEAKER_01: How about if all 20 people gave$10?
17:44
SPEAKER_01: That's$200.
17:45
SPEAKER_01: Where do I send it?
17:47
SPEAKER_01: Go online.
17:49
SPEAKER_01: Or come to mine.
17:51
SPEAKER_01: Helpnepal.world.
17:52
SPEAKER_01: You'll see my GoFundMe account.
17:54
SPEAKER_01: I know what to do with people.
17:56
SPEAKER_01: I know how to get it on the ground.
17:59
SPEAKER_01: And I'm doing it now.
18:00
SPEAKER_01: So please,$10.
18:03
SPEAKER_01: You want to donate a thousand, ten thousand?
18:05
SPEAKER_01: You can do it there too.
18:06
SPEAKER_01: But five dollars is fine too.
18:08
SPEAKER_01: It really is.
18:09
SPEAKER_01: And I want to continue to help people understand we're different.
18:14
SPEAKER_01: It's time for us to start taking the old action steps and the old behavior patterns and expanding.
18:22
SPEAKER_01: I literally have seen numerous people.
18:25
SPEAKER_01: I'm praying for all the people in the poll.
18:27
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
18:28
SPEAKER_01: What do you literally think that's going to do?
18:31
SPEAKER_01: Nothing except make you feel better in the five minutes.
18:34
SPEAKER_01: Nothing.
18:35
SPEAKER_01: Why?
18:36
SPEAKER_01: Because God can't do anything for us that God can't do through us.
18:40
SPEAKER_01: So it's time to start putting any level of action step associated with your prayer.
18:48
SPEAKER_01: And if you ask for guidance, which is really what this entire podcast is about, the asking for guidance, then everything ends up being different.
18:59
SPEAKER_01: Unfortunately, I have to share about some really, I had a really tough day yesterday.
19:03
SPEAKER_01: I did.
19:04
SPEAKER_01: For those of you that are new, my 12-year-old, 11 and a half-year-old German Shepherd, Zeus, I had to put him asleep on August the 5th.
19:13
SPEAKER_01: One of the harder things I've ever had to do.
19:15
SPEAKER_01: Not the putting him asleep, because you know, it was his time.
19:20
SPEAKER_01: The decision wasn't hard to make, but as you make the decision, the grief is hard.
19:27
SPEAKER_01: It is.
19:28
SPEAKER_01: And it was very hard.
19:30
SPEAKER_01: Look at my, you know, the episode 46, I think, in my catalog.
19:35
SPEAKER_01: I can't let go because I'm feeling anxious or something like that.
19:39
SPEAKER_01: Listen to that one.
19:40
SPEAKER_01: That's me telling you what I did in a very deep sense of grief.
19:45
SPEAKER_01: And you know, what we're building here at the We Podcast is a library of episodes where you can go in wherever you are emotionally in any one given day.
19:54
SPEAKER_01: If you're feeling scared, go listen, go find one of the episodes about feeling scared, feeling overwhelmed, not able to forgive, you know, ready to pursue your passion.
20:05
SPEAKER_01: Whatever the action step you're in, I can promise you, if you look through the 50 some odd episodes I have, you'll find something that'll help you, something that'll keep you company in that day, that night, the dark times and the glorious times.
20:19
SPEAKER_01: We're going to start adding a third episode here soon, over the next couple months or so, a couple of weeks, actually.
20:25
SPEAKER_01: But what it's going to be is kind of an encore playing of some of my original episodes.
20:30
SPEAKER_01: Because there's so many brand new people.
20:33
SPEAKER_01: It isn't typically, it isn't the technique of a brand new listener that that sees 60, 60 episodes or 54 episodes to go all the way back to the original episodes.
20:46
SPEAKER_01: So once a week on Saturdays, we're going to start republishing the original episodes.
20:52
SPEAKER_01: Not all of them, but a bunch of them, just so new people can listen to those too.
20:56
SPEAKER_01: And I'm really, I'm excited about that.
20:58
SPEAKER_01: I think it it's something that you know will really help and just gets that information out.
21:05
SPEAKER_01: Well, yesterday, literally, how I knew it was Zeus's day, he had a sore on his stomach.
21:12
SPEAKER_01: He had stopped eating a week ago before.
21:14
SPEAKER_01: And I knew the days were coming because he stopped eating.
21:18
SPEAKER_01: Zeus used to eat 50 pounds of food a month and he'd stopped eating on his seventh or eighth day.
21:23
SPEAKER_01: And I wasn't going to let him starve himself.
21:26
SPEAKER_01: So I didn't know how I was going to make that decision.
21:28
SPEAKER_01: But I asked for guidance.
21:30
SPEAKER_01: My higher power said, Zeus will tell you.
21:33
SPEAKER_01: And he told me by this stop eating that he was getting closer.
21:37
SPEAKER_01: And then he had this sore on his stomach he wouldn't leave alone.
21:40
SPEAKER_01: And I kept wrapping it in cotton sheets, but he'd tear through those cotton sheets.
21:45
SPEAKER_01: And then August the 5th, I come downstairs and he's sitting in a pool of blood.
21:50
SPEAKER_01: And a pool of blood, I mean, he's a big dog.
21:53
SPEAKER_01: He was probably, I don't know, six, eight inches around him, in it around his backside.
21:58
SPEAKER_01: And I knew that was the day.
22:00
SPEAKER_01: And I knew it was the day because no matter what I did, I couldn't get the bleeding to stop.
22:05
SPEAKER_01: And in the moment, I'm doing the best I can.
22:09
SPEAKER_01: I'm in the flow, I'm in the allowance.
22:12
SPEAKER_01: But I knew I was gonna have to grieve that because you talk about powerless.
22:16
SPEAKER_01: I couldn't get it to stop.
22:19
SPEAKER_01: And I tried and I tried and I tried.
22:22
SPEAKER_01: And past couple days, I've been grieving that, you know, like no matter what I did, I couldn't get it to stop.
22:30
SPEAKER_01: That's hard.
22:31
SPEAKER_01: It's painful.
22:33
SPEAKER_01: So I've been in my silence.
22:35
SPEAKER_01: I'm asking people to do five or six minutes a day.
22:38
SPEAKER_01: I'm doing like five or six hours a day, guided back into silence.
22:43
SPEAKER_01: And the difference this time than in years past, there's silence and stillness.
22:49
SPEAKER_01: Stillness meaning no motion.
22:51
SPEAKER_01: My oldest son is at college, my youngest son lives in an apartment in my basement.
22:55
SPEAKER_01: And my good friend Zeus, my hundred-pound German shepherd, isn't around anymore.
23:01
SPEAKER_01: So when Joe is in his silence, I'm also in a stillness that I haven't experienced in a really, really long time.
23:12
SPEAKER_01: In that place, I get a lot of awarenesses.
23:15
SPEAKER_01: In that place, there'll be multiple hours in a row where I'll hear nothing.
23:20
SPEAKER_01: And silence doesn't mean lack of motion.
23:23
SPEAKER_01: I work big puzzles.
23:25
SPEAKER_01: I'm almost done.
23:26
SPEAKER_01: I'm working a 40,000-piece puzzle.
23:29
SPEAKER_01: I'm almost done with the first section.
23:31
SPEAKER_01: I've got probably about 500 pieces left of the first section, which is about 4,000 pieces.
23:37
SPEAKER_01: And I listen, and a lot of times I hear nothing.
23:41
SPEAKER_01: I just do the puzzle, and it's kind of my sacred space, sacred silence.
23:49
SPEAKER_01: Well, I come up, then I hear things.
23:51
SPEAKER_01: I hear ideas.
23:52
SPEAKER_01: I come up with things.
23:53
SPEAKER_01: I come up with ideas for the podcast.
23:55
SPEAKER_01: I come up with things we need to talk about, conversations I need to have, difficult conversations sometimes.
24:03
SPEAKER_01: I said not a couple episodes ago where I was supporting a family who's been in the program a really long time, and the dad, he's a drunk.
24:16
SPEAKER_01: He hasn't drank in a bunch of years, but his behavior patterns are completely inappropriate.
24:20
SPEAKER_01: And their daughter's taking it on the chin.
24:23
SPEAKER_01: And the mom calls the daughter whiny, calls the daughter drama queen, and all of that.
24:30
SPEAKER_01: Well, when I was on podcast a couple weeks ago, you hear me, I'm mad.
24:35
SPEAKER_01: But I realized, you know, there's nothing I can do about those parents, but I can do something about the young woman.
24:42
SPEAKER_01: The I call her a little girl.
24:43
SPEAKER_01: She's 17, 18, 17.
24:45
SPEAKER_01: She's a high school student.
24:46
SPEAKER_01: And I started texting her.
24:48
SPEAKER_01: Mr.
24:49
SPEAKER_01: Joe loves you.
24:50
SPEAKER_01: Mr.
24:51
SPEAKER_01: Joe's really proud of you.
24:52
SPEAKER_01: Have a good day today, sweetie.
24:54
SPEAKER_01: You know, I'm proud of you.
24:56
SPEAKER_01: Keep in touch.
24:57
SPEAKER_01: Let's talk.
24:57
SPEAKER_01: Took about a week or so.
24:58
SPEAKER_01: I finally got an I love you back.
25:00
SPEAKER_01: And why do I say that?
25:01
SPEAKER_01: For me, no, I could care less.
25:03
SPEAKER_01: I don't need an I love you from this young girl, woman at all.
25:07
SPEAKER_01: What I'm but what I want is to create a sense of safety so she at least has one voice in her life praising her, sharing with her, telling her she's pretty, telling her she's beautiful, telling her she's trustworthy.
25:23
SPEAKER_01: And I can't change the parents.
25:25
SPEAKER_01: I can't.
25:26
SPEAKER_01: They don't want to challenge me because I will absolutely tear them new ones if they push me, because the behavior is so ridiculously unconscious that I will do everything I can to protect this young woman.
25:41
SPEAKER_01: And is there any abuse?
25:43
SPEAKER_01: No.
25:43
SPEAKER_01: Is there any intent for harm?
25:45
SPEAKER_01: No.
25:46
SPEAKER_01: It's just unconscious behavior cloaked in Al-Anon phrases, cloaked in AA phrases.
25:56
SPEAKER_01: And at a certain point, folks, if you're living in an environment that's unhealthy, you can look at your side of the street plenty.
26:06
SPEAKER_01: You can look at you and yours a lot.
26:10
SPEAKER_01: But sooner or later, if the environment is toxic, it's time to change the street.
26:17
SPEAKER_01: Well, this particular experience, no one's there in a street being changed.
26:20
SPEAKER_01: These people have been together for 40 years, but I can start empowering this young woman on how to handle her dad.
26:29
SPEAKER_01: He ain't gonna like it, and I don't care.
26:32
SPEAKER_01: And if the mom gets involved, she's not gonna like it either.
26:35
SPEAKER_01: And I don't care about her either.
26:38
SPEAKER_01: Why?
26:39
SPEAKER_01: Because I'm gonna teach this young person, just like I teach my own boys, you ask for your needs, you ask for your needs, you ask for your needs, and if the person you're asking for your needs from eventually can't give them to you, it's up to you then to take additional action.
26:57
SPEAKER_01: For example, in this particular case, I'm gonna teach this young woman that when her dad calls and she's not ready to talk to him, and he'll text five and six and seven times and then he'll call.
27:11
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna I'm gonna teach her to not answer the phone, say, Hi dad, I saw you called.
27:20
SPEAKER_01: Can't talk right now.
27:21
SPEAKER_01: I'll call you tomorrow.
27:23
SPEAKER_01: He's gonna fall over and his and the mom's gonna get pissed.
27:27
SPEAKER_01: I hope they come to me because I'm gonna tell this young woman that Mr.
27:31
SPEAKER_01: Joe taught me that.
27:32
SPEAKER_01: Because what am I doing?
27:34
SPEAKER_01: I'm empowering a 17-year-old.
27:38
SPEAKER_01: You know what happens if 17-year-old little girls aren't empowered and 15, 16, and 17-year-old young men aren't empowered.
27:46
SPEAKER_01: You know what happens?
27:47
SPEAKER_01: Later than they're at a party, late, tired, and they don't know how to say no, that's where craziness happens, folks.
27:57
SPEAKER_01: That's where tremendous amounts of drug addiction starts at random fun parties because the young person there doesn't have the ability to say no.
28:10
SPEAKER_01: Why?
28:11
SPEAKER_01: Because in a lot of environments, if you tell your parents no, you're shamed, you're blamed, you're punished.
28:16
SPEAKER_01: How dare you! Well, you know what, folks?
28:19
SPEAKER_01: If you don't teach your kids how to say no, then there will be a consequence to that.
28:25
SPEAKER_01: There will, because they're gonna grow up older, not knowing how to say no, and then circumstances are gonna happen that you would have wished you taught them to say no.
28:35
SPEAKER_01: Well, this particular environment, this group does, these parents don't know how to teach no.
28:40
SPEAKER_01: And I'm not saying no for the absolute, I'm saying no in a moment, so this young woman can be composed and in and empowered when she calls her dad back instead of trying to answer his whiny ass phone in the middle of, you know, her friends are around.
28:59
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna see how that works.
29:00
SPEAKER_01: I'll keep you posted.
29:02
SPEAKER_01: And that's us, folks.
29:04
SPEAKER_01: We are the generation of change.
29:06
SPEAKER_01: We have to stand up for each other, we have to help and be willing to give back.
29:11
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, I talk about on any given day our emotions are mad, glad, sad, and scared.
29:17
SPEAKER_01: Well, I can tell you yesterday I was deeply sad about Zeus.
29:22
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, when you feel that sense of powerlessness and grief, all you can do is sit there.
29:27
SPEAKER_01: And it's so new.
29:28
SPEAKER_01: I knew it was coming because I just felt my body kind of frozen, literally, and grieving because in that moment, even though I was trying to rap, I was physically moving, I was powerless to the bleeding.
29:43
SPEAKER_01: I couldn't get it to stop.
29:46
SPEAKER_01: And I don't have any regrets and I have no remorse.
29:49
SPEAKER_01: I did the best I could.
29:51
SPEAKER_01: And well, Zeus wouldn't leave it alone.
29:53
SPEAKER_01: So Zeus was kind of making his bed, literally.
29:56
SPEAKER_01: But doesn't mean there's everything can be perfect and there's still emotional consequence.
30:02
SPEAKER_01: And powerlessness is a tough one.
30:04
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it really, really is.
30:06
SPEAKER_01: And when you're feeling it, it's just grief.
30:10
SPEAKER_01: I say just grief.
30:12
SPEAKER_01: It's painful.
30:13
SPEAKER_01: It is, but you can do it, you can feel it.
30:16
SPEAKER_01: You know, I always support having somebody around if you're somebody that feels more comfortable in communion.
30:22
SPEAKER_01: I'm somebody that tends to do it with just myself, have all these years, and that's okay.
30:27
SPEAKER_01: It really is.
30:29
SPEAKER_01: Earlier today, I get an email from an old business uh uh associate that I was trying to get a referral and of somebody that I wanted to promote on the We Podcast.
30:44
SPEAKER_01: You know, the We Podcast is an awareness podcast.
30:47
SPEAKER_01: I'm not a solutions guy.
30:48
SPEAKER_01: I don't have long-term solutions, I'm looking for long-term solutions.
30:52
SPEAKER_01: I am.
30:53
SPEAKER_01: And I get this scathing email back from this particular female accusing me of all sorts of crap because I'm trying to be kind.
31:02
SPEAKER_01: And you know what?
31:03
SPEAKER_01: No, you can say what you want.
31:06
SPEAKER_01: No, I emailed back saying exactly my intentions, exactly my beliefs, exactly my desires, and any implic any implication that anything I'm doing is anything less than professional is insulting, literally.
31:25
SPEAKER_01: And you know what, folks?
31:26
SPEAKER_01: It's okay to be mad.
31:28
SPEAKER_01: If someone, if somebody calls you something less than perfect, it's okay to be angry back, set the boundaries and share your truth back, just like I did with this person.
31:39
SPEAKER_01: Now, we're probably aren't going to talk anymore.
31:42
SPEAKER_01: That's not on me.
31:43
SPEAKER_01: I was doing nothing wrong.
31:44
SPEAKER_01: I was trying to freaking help.
31:46
SPEAKER_01: And what I wanted to literally say is I'm the one literally willing to share a particular service on the We podcast.
31:55
SPEAKER_01: It's probably two or three hundred thousand downloads a month, asking nothing.
32:00
SPEAKER_01: I'm not monetizing this podcast ever.
32:04
SPEAKER_01: I'm not.
32:05
SPEAKER_01: Why?
32:05
SPEAKER_01: Because y'all aren't here to be monetized.
32:08
SPEAKER_01: You're here to get hearing my experience, strength, and hope.
32:11
SPEAKER_01: That's why you're here listening.
32:13
SPEAKER_01: And I honor that.
32:15
SPEAKER_01: And I feel I feel that it is a sacred honor to me to build an audience like we're building.
32:21
SPEAKER_01: And I will never monetize the we podcast.
32:24
SPEAKER_01: I won't.
32:25
SPEAKER_01: I see a lot of these podcasters out there that charge a monthly fee.
32:28
SPEAKER_01: And I'm not saying it's wrong.
32:30
SPEAKER_01: I'm just saying that's not me.
32:32
SPEAKER_01: I do the podcast from my 12th step.
32:35
SPEAKER_01: Any 12-step program, there's a service component.
32:38
SPEAKER_01: The 12 step is the service component.
32:40
SPEAKER_01: And I give back.
32:43
SPEAKER_01: Bottom line.
32:44
SPEAKER_01: Now, does that mean I won't be monetized?
32:46
SPEAKER_01: Of course it doesn't mean I won't be monetized someday.
32:49
SPEAKER_01: Literally, I will.
32:50
SPEAKER_01: How about if I how about if through the We podcast I tend to give away 10 million books, but then sell a million books?
32:59
SPEAKER_01: Think there's a little profit in a million books, folks?
33:01
SPEAKER_01: Of course there is, for Christ's sake.
33:04
SPEAKER_01: And am I doing it for that?
33:06
SPEAKER_01: No, I'm really not.
33:08
SPEAKER_01: Am I doing it to get 100 million books out there?
33:10
SPEAKER_01: Yes, I am.
33:11
SPEAKER_01: Why?
33:12
SPEAKER_01: Because the books were channeled through me.
33:14
SPEAKER_01: My divinity, my divinity channeled the books.
33:18
SPEAKER_01: Visit joemitiga.com.
33:20
SPEAKER_01: You know, get my first book, filling the void.
33:24
SPEAKER_01: We're almost done.
33:25
SPEAKER_01: So keep visiting.
33:26
SPEAKER_01: There's going to be book clubs there.
33:27
SPEAKER_01: You're going to be able to download it for free.
33:29
SPEAKER_01: You are.
33:30
SPEAKER_01: You'll always be able to download my books for free.
33:33
SPEAKER_01: We've also got the technology out there to where eventually, sooner than later, you're going to be able to get it in audio in your language.
33:41
SPEAKER_01: So thank you, Germany, for being here.
33:44
SPEAKER_01: English is not the primary language of Germany.
33:47
SPEAKER_01: German is.
33:49
SPEAKER_01: So when people of German descent that live in Germany, when their primary language is German, they'll be able to get my book and hear it in German because of technology.
33:59
SPEAKER_01: And I'm very, very excited about that.
34:01
SPEAKER_01: I am, because I'm about getting the message out.
34:06
SPEAKER_01: And that's why I say all the time, it's not the man, it's the message.
34:10
SPEAKER_01: It is.
34:11
SPEAKER_01: And I mean that.
34:12
SPEAKER_01: I genuinely mean that.
34:13
SPEAKER_01: This whole campaign we're getting ready to do called The Man in the Microphone.
34:18
SPEAKER_01: Why it's so powerful?
34:19
SPEAKER_01: I know it's not me.
34:21
SPEAKER_01: If you knew me, you'd know it's not me.
34:23
SPEAKER_01: I'm just the guy.
34:24
SPEAKER_01: I'm no different than anyone out there.
34:26
SPEAKER_01: I'm the guy in the grocery store.
34:27
SPEAKER_01: I'm the guy sitting next to you in Little League.
34:30
SPEAKER_01: I'm the guy in the middle of the row when I go to church.
34:33
SPEAKER_01: I'm that guy.
34:34
SPEAKER_01: I'm not a therapist.
34:36
SPEAKER_01: I'm not a researcher.
34:37
SPEAKER_01: I'm not going to sit here to tell you what to do.
34:39
SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you what I did.
34:40
SPEAKER_01: I'll tell you the experiences I go through.
34:42
SPEAKER_01: I will.
34:42
SPEAKER_01: And over time, I'm going to have different people's stories.
34:47
SPEAKER_01: I don't know yet if we're going to actually do literal interviews.
34:49
SPEAKER_01: I keep going back and forth with that.
34:51
SPEAKER_01: Every once in a while, especially in the future, you know, when I feel that there's a really cool story that I think people would really want to hear, I'll probably have that person on.
35:00
SPEAKER_01: But you know, I want you to, I want you to know that I'm here because I care.
35:06
SPEAKER_01: I really do.
35:08
SPEAKER_01: I'm here because I need to sleep at night.
35:11
SPEAKER_01: And the way I sleep at night is sharing of my overflow.
35:14
SPEAKER_01: That's how I do it.
35:15
SPEAKER_01: And, you know, this particular episode and episodes like this, humanity's waking up.
35:21
SPEAKER_01: And what does it mean to wake up?
35:24
SPEAKER_01: It means that humanity, the consciousness of humanity, is shifting.
35:28
SPEAKER_01: It's shifting from a male-dominated, mental, male-dominated perspective to more of a feminine perspective, an emotional and spiritual perspective that is demonstrated in different poles where there's a large percentage of people considering themselves spiritual versus religious.
35:48
SPEAKER_01: And from that spiritual perspective, the reason that's happening, like, and it's not right or wrong, it's just about growth.
35:56
SPEAKER_01: And there are plenty of people, literally, some of the closest people in my life, they are nourished in their religion.
36:05
SPEAKER_01: And there's as they grow spiritually, their religion still feeds their growth.
36:12
SPEAKER_01: It's beautiful.
36:13
SPEAKER_01: I love it.
36:14
SPEAKER_01: I love it for them.
36:16
SPEAKER_01: And for the for others, that isn't the case.
36:20
SPEAKER_01: So you're looking to be, you're looking for a growth, you're looking for nourishment of your spiritual growth, the mirror back to your spiritual growth in a different place.
36:29
SPEAKER_01: Well, that's what the We podcast is.
36:31
SPEAKER_01: And I'm the perfect guy to talk about it because that's what happened to me.
36:36
SPEAKER_01: Again, if I was a Christian, this podcast would be about Christianity.
36:39
SPEAKER_01: If I was a Buddhist, this podcast would be about Buddhism.
36:43
SPEAKER_01: If I was a therapist, it would be about telling you what to do.
36:46
SPEAKER_01: If I was a researcher, it'd be about telling you what everybody else did.
36:49
SPEAKER_01: I'm none of those things.
36:51
SPEAKER_01: I'm me, a guy.
36:53
SPEAKER_01: I've been on this path for a long time.
36:55
SPEAKER_01: 1990.
36:57
SPEAKER_01: February 16th, 1990.
36:59
SPEAKER_01: Pre-internet, pre-cell phone, pre-texting, pre-everything.
37:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's me.
37:05
SPEAKER_01: So I've been doing it a long time.
37:07
SPEAKER_01: So I can share the thing that makes me different than a lot.
37:11
SPEAKER_01: I'm practiced.
37:12
SPEAKER_01: I am practiced.
37:13
SPEAKER_01: But I can share how I got to this place.
37:16
SPEAKER_01: And that's what the We podcast is.
37:19
SPEAKER_01: So the whole experience of humanity waking up, and where's the benefit?
37:24
SPEAKER_01: Like, why do we want to do it?
37:26
SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, Joe, I'm healing that, I'm healing my stuff, but so how does my life get better?
37:31
SPEAKER_01: Why do I feel better?
37:32
SPEAKER_01: Why is it important?
37:33
SPEAKER_01: Because the truth of the matter is what we're seeking is wholeness.
37:40
SPEAKER_01: What we're seeking, I always call it a sense of okayness.
37:44
SPEAKER_01: And that sense of okayness is when you feel full from the inside out.
37:48
SPEAKER_01: Society teaches us that if we have the right bank account, the right person, the right car, the right job, we live in the right place, we have the right house, our kids are getting grades, that we'll feel better.
37:58
SPEAKER_01: And then when we don't, we start questioning ourselves.
38:02
SPEAKER_01: Well, you can have all the external successes in the world, which is wonderful.
38:08
SPEAKER_01: That's called living life.
38:10
SPEAKER_01: But that doesn't cause any sense of okayness inside.
38:14
SPEAKER_01: It doesn't.
38:15
SPEAKER_01: Okay is when you create a communion inside yourself.
38:20
SPEAKER_01: From an emotional sense of self, you ask, from an emotional sense, you ask the deeper parts of you that are hurting in mad, glad, sad, and scared.
38:31
SPEAKER_01: You ask those parts for in conversation, how you feeling, how you doing, what do you need, how can I help with your dominant hand, and you write out the answers with your non-dominant hand.
38:43
SPEAKER_01: That's why I hope you get my book, Filling the Void, joemitiga.com, because we're creating book clubs, 12-week book clubs, where my entire first book is all about the embracing of your inner self.
38:57
SPEAKER_01: I call it the inner child, in the beginning sections.
39:01
SPEAKER_01: But then the last sections are about as that all happened, then how to live it out in the world and why it's beneficial out into the world.
39:10
SPEAKER_01: Because in that same side of self, the feminine side, the emotions are there, but your spiritual communion is that's where it's that's where it's located.
39:19
SPEAKER_01: The part of you that is the source of all that is, the Christ consciousness that lives within you.
39:26
SPEAKER_01: It's in you, created in God's image, not physical, spiritual.
39:31
SPEAKER_01: Folks, you are a spiritual being having a human experience, even though for millennia society has changed that around, as if we are separate from each other.
39:44
SPEAKER_01: We're not.
39:45
SPEAKER_01: The same divinity in me who's speaking is the same divinity in you who's listening right now.
39:53
SPEAKER_01: And anything you're learning here, you're not really learning, you're remembering it's in you already.
40:00
SPEAKER_01: And when I say something, people are saying, Oh my God, I get that.
40:05
SPEAKER_01: I felt that.
40:05
SPEAKER_01: I feel so empowered by that.
40:07
SPEAKER_01: My heart opened because of that, Joe.
40:09
SPEAKER_01: Yes, that's the whole idea.
40:12
SPEAKER_01: Did Joe do any of it?
40:13
SPEAKER_01: No.
40:14
SPEAKER_01: Joe the man, no, Joe the man right now, it's 1025 at night.
40:17
SPEAKER_01: I'm tired.
40:19
SPEAKER_01: I am.
40:20
SPEAKER_01: You know, I spent the day with my sons and traveled and still grieving Zeus a little bit.
40:25
SPEAKER_01: So, Joe, the man, right now, I'm tired.
40:28
SPEAKER_01: I really wish I could have gone to bed an hour ago, but I can't because I got to finish this podcast.
40:33
SPEAKER_01: And I will.
40:34
SPEAKER_01: I love doing it, I really do.
40:37
SPEAKER_01: And I had to deal with different communications that catch me off guard, accusing me of crap when I'm the one helping, trying to help.
40:44
SPEAKER_01: That's just unconscious people being unconscious.
40:47
SPEAKER_01: Is that a bad thing?
40:48
SPEAKER_01: No.
40:48
SPEAKER_01: Did I shame and blame?
40:49
SPEAKER_01: No.
40:49
SPEAKER_01: Did I speak my truth back boldly?
40:53
SPEAKER_01: Yes, I did.
40:55
SPEAKER_01: Yes, I did.
40:56
SPEAKER_01: And so what is the benefit of this communing with a power greater than yourself?
41:04
SPEAKER_01: Well, the benefit is eternal love, the benefit is complete overflow, the benefit is autonomy, the benefit is fullness.
41:15
SPEAKER_01: And folks, when you are filled from the inside out and have more money than month, then your internal world and your external world are more congruent.
41:28
SPEAKER_01: There's plenty of people out there that have plenty of money in the bank, but they're trying to fill their internal voids of aloneness by buying things.
41:39
SPEAKER_01: Loneliness is disconnection from you and your inner child, your inner emotional self.
41:45
SPEAKER_01: Aloneness, the sense of being alone, is disconnection between you and a power greater than yourself.
41:53
SPEAKER_01: And that power greater than yourself, I call divinity a lot, I call great spirit a lot, I call God a lot.
42:00
SPEAKER_01: A lot of people are going to call it Jesus.
42:02
SPEAKER_01: Some people will call it universal law, some people will call it infinite love, whatever you call it, that's you adject, you get to put the adjective on it.
42:12
SPEAKER_01: But what's happening in humanity is more and more of us are waking up, and that part's in us.
42:20
SPEAKER_01: And what I'm here to tell you is it's time now where on a daily basis you can start asking your divinity for guidance.
42:32
SPEAKER_01: And then when you're practicing your five minutes of silence, listen for what the part says.
42:39
SPEAKER_01: In the past, I think it's always been there, but in the past, when energetically as a human race, we weren't as keenly aware as we're becoming.
42:50
SPEAKER_01: Now, does that mean everybody is?
42:52
SPEAKER_01: No, it doesn't.
42:54
SPEAKER_01: In fact, most of you on this podcast, if you have a couple of other people that have some type of spiritual communion and emotional connection in your world, you're fortunate.
43:05
SPEAKER_01: I literally had never met somebody consciously connected to their heart as dramatic as I did back four years ago.
43:15
SPEAKER_01: And I've come across people that are very kind and loving people.
43:18
SPEAKER_01: Yes, of course.
43:20
SPEAKER_01: I've come across people that were really hardcore, you know, 12-steppers, spiritual 12-steppers.
43:26
SPEAKER_01: But the combination of both, it's unique.
43:28
SPEAKER_01: It's very rare.
43:30
SPEAKER_01: And my heart expanded.
43:32
SPEAKER_01: That's why I tell that story all the time.
43:34
SPEAKER_01: Well, anyways, over this past four years, for me, what I've realized is that literally we can communicate with that power greater than ourselves at will.
43:47
SPEAKER_01: And people say, well, Joe, if God's in us, why doesn't God just do it for us?
43:51
SPEAKER_01: It's the same reason that when you pray to God, please help the people in Nepal, it's doing nothing.
43:57
SPEAKER_01: There's no functional anything to that.
44:00
SPEAKER_01: Because God can only do for us what God can do through us.
44:05
SPEAKER_01: I've got that presentation where I talk about the creation phase, where our inspirations are the are coming from a power greater than ourselves.
44:13
SPEAKER_01: Imagination is our humanities, is our humanities' desires.
44:17
SPEAKER_01: Inspirations are the energetic guides, the energetic pictures, the energetic perceptions of your tomorrow that are greater than your today.
44:28
SPEAKER_01: And those voices, those inspirations, they're emotion-free.
44:33
SPEAKER_01: They don't have emotion associated with the voices.
44:36
SPEAKER_01: They don't.
44:37
SPEAKER_01: And from that emotional, from that emotionless place, the divinity sticks with us, high or low, happy or sad.
44:47
SPEAKER_01: It's all the same.
44:48
SPEAKER_01: And when we get to the place where we go from inspiration to creation, it's the creation phase.
44:57
SPEAKER_01: Inspiration is your divinity.
44:59
SPEAKER_01: Creation is when your divinity and your humanity have to come together.
45:03
SPEAKER_01: God can only do for you what God can do through you.
45:07
SPEAKER_01: And it's at that spot right there where your inspirations, if you don't ask for support, so many times your inspirations never get lived.
45:19
SPEAKER_01: Now I'm going to give you some examples of people that had inspirations and they lived it.
45:24
SPEAKER_01: What make them different than others?
45:27
SPEAKER_01: I just think they had an ability to be in tune with parts of themselves that other people weren't.
45:34
SPEAKER_01: Well, that ability to be in tune with that higher part of you, you wouldn't be on this podcast now.
45:40
SPEAKER_01: You wouldn't be able to make it through my podcast if you didn't have some type of conscious communion with a power greater than yourself.
45:49
SPEAKER_01: Are you acting and living and connected with it constantly?
45:52
SPEAKER_01: No.
45:53
SPEAKER_01: Am I?
45:54
SPEAKER_01: Yes, I am all the time.
45:58
SPEAKER_01: And I say that not to brag, but just to tell you the truth.
46:03
SPEAKER_01: How did I get here?
46:04
SPEAKER_01: Well, I did all the depths of emotional work.
46:08
SPEAKER_01: So the only reason we're not consciously connected to a power greater than ourselves, which we would all call love, one word to describe God is love, is because the mad, the sad, and the scared emotions get clumped up, and we then get kind of cut off from the ultimate emotion, which is love.
46:28
SPEAKER_01: We just do.
46:29
SPEAKER_01: Well, we can unclog those emotions by doing the inner child work and embracing and emoting suppressed energy of the past.
46:38
SPEAKER_01: We can do that.
46:40
SPEAKER_01: We can.
46:40
SPEAKER_01: But do you have to do all of that to be guided by a power greater than yourself?
46:45
SPEAKER_01: The answer is no, you don't.
46:47
SPEAKER_01: I want you to do some of the inner work just to get some rest of all the crazy voices in your head.
46:53
SPEAKER_01: And if you don't have any crazy voices, great.
46:56
SPEAKER_01: But you then can start asking for a power greater than yourself to guide you.
47:01
SPEAKER_01: And how are you going to listen?
47:02
SPEAKER_01: How are you going to hear it?
47:03
SPEAKER_01: That's why starting the practice of silence is so important.
47:08
SPEAKER_01: It's literally as simple as, and what my words are, dear God, guide me, guide me.
47:15
SPEAKER_01: And that's why I hope that, you know, if you're guided to do something for Nepal, go start a GoFundMe.
47:23
SPEAKER_01: If you don't want to start your own, go to mine, helpnepal.world.
47:29
SPEAKER_01: You'll see it.
47:29
SPEAKER_01: Helpnepal.world.
47:31
SPEAKER_01: Why do I put world?
47:32
SPEAKER_01: Because there's 25 continents, 25 countries on this podcast right now.
47:37
SPEAKER_01: Anywhere from around the world, you could go donate$10 on my GoFundMe.
47:41
SPEAKER_01: Where did I get that idea?
47:43
SPEAKER_01: Did I say, dear God, help Nepal?
47:46
SPEAKER_01: No, I didn't.
47:47
SPEAKER_01: I said, Dear God, show me how I can help Nepal.
47:51
SPEAKER_01: Hear the difference.
47:53
SPEAKER_01: If you're praying for God to do it, you're living in the delusion that God is codependent.
47:59
SPEAKER_01: God isn't codependent.
48:01
SPEAKER_01: God is going to empower people.
48:03
SPEAKER_01: It takes people going, it takes money going, it takes resources going there, literally physically.
48:11
SPEAKER_01: God can't lift the shovels.
48:13
SPEAKER_01: God can't run the tractors.
48:15
SPEAKER_01: God can't create the water.
48:17
SPEAKER_01: Humans do that.
48:18
SPEAKER_01: But we can be inspired to support.
48:22
SPEAKER_01: So instead of next time you're praying those prayers, which are beautiful, I'm not making fun of.
48:28
SPEAKER_01: I'm asking you to ask a different question.
48:31
SPEAKER_01: Instead of dear God, please help them, it's dear God, please guide me so I can help them.
48:40
SPEAKER_01: My GoFundMe account, helpnepal.world, please visit.
48:44
SPEAKER_01: Please give 10 bucks.
48:46
SPEAKER_01: Think about if everybody on this podcast gave$5,$10, we'd make a difference.
48:51
SPEAKER_01: I can promise you, we'd make one or two orphanages over there, a huge difference.
48:56
SPEAKER_01: These places are being just trampled by vacant kids.
49:02
SPEAKER_01: We can help.
49:03
SPEAKER_01: We can.
49:03
SPEAKER_01: Now, if you're guided to do something else, do it.
49:06
SPEAKER_01: I guarantee your church has something.
49:08
SPEAKER_01: The schools have something.
49:09
SPEAKER_01: Every place around you, we have something.
49:11
SPEAKER_01: And why am I so insistent on that?
49:14
SPEAKER_01: Because you want to move from aloneness to oneness.
49:18
SPEAKER_01: Oneness happens when we're living in the place of giving.
49:22
SPEAKER_01: Literally.
49:23
SPEAKER_01: Oneness happens when we're living from a place of giving.
49:28
SPEAKER_01: Well, Joe, I don't know what to give to.
49:30
SPEAKER_01: I know.
49:30
SPEAKER_01: That's why you ask, dear God, please guide me.
49:35
SPEAKER_01: And then once you hear however you're being guided, follow.
49:39
SPEAKER_01: It could be as simple as helpnepal.world.
49:45
SPEAKER_01: You'll see.
49:45
SPEAKER_01: Mr.
49:46
SPEAKER_01: Joe needs your support.
49:47
SPEAKER_01: I want to raise, I think, whatever it says.
49:50
SPEAKER_01: $100,000, the ultimate goal.
49:52
SPEAKER_01: I think we're starting at$35,000.
49:54
SPEAKER_01: I'd love to raise a million.
49:56
SPEAKER_01: Like, why not?
49:57
SPEAKER_01: 10 bucks a piece, right?
50:00
SPEAKER_01: And where's the benefit for you?
50:03
SPEAKER_01: It feels good.
50:05
SPEAKER_01: So next week, when you're at the next week, when you're at the the baseball game and your 10-year-old son's out there and doing the best he can, you're sitting to the mom next to you.
50:14
SPEAKER_01: You could tell her, man, I'm listening to this podcast.
50:17
SPEAKER_01: And after listening to him, he told me to dare ask God how to, you know, how I can help the people in Nepal.
50:24
SPEAKER_01: And God just said, you know, visit Nepal, visit helpnepal.world.
50:29
SPEAKER_01: And I donated 20 bucks to that website.
50:31
SPEAKER_01: You know what?
50:31
SPEAKER_01: And it felt really good to donate the 20 bucks.
50:34
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
50:35
SPEAKER_01: That's an example, folks.
50:38
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what your higher power is going to be guiding you to do.
50:42
SPEAKER_01: I know a man named Tom 25 years ago was guided to go to the Dominican Republic and for 25 years, full career, launched kids, made millions for 25 years.
50:53
SPEAKER_01: He's been helping the water situation, Dominican Republic.
50:57
SPEAKER_01: Got another guy named Jack.
50:58
SPEAKER_01: He does Somalian wells, literally$5,000 a well.
51:03
SPEAKER_01: I could give him$50,000 someday.
51:05
SPEAKER_01: He's going to go do 10 wells in Somalia.
51:08
SPEAKER_01: He's in his mid 40s.
51:09
SPEAKER_01: He's been doing it since his late teens.
51:12
SPEAKER_01: You might be guided in a huge way.
51:15
SPEAKER_01: You might be guided in the$20 at helpnepal.world.
51:20
SPEAKER_01: However, you're guided by following the guidance, you will feel fuller.
51:25
SPEAKER_01: You will.
51:41
SPEAKER_01: How do I know?
51:43
SPEAKER_01: Because the oneness with God, the communion in that sense of grace, having grace and feeling serenity are very different things, folks.
51:53
SPEAKER_01: Serenity, yes.
51:56
SPEAKER_01: Serenity, this real sense of emotional, everything emotionally is okay.
52:03
SPEAKER_01: The experience of serenity, you're gonna have to heal most of your deeper stuff.
52:09
SPEAKER_01: Now, can you feel really, really good by just healing some?
52:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, woman out of a woman out of Texas, I support does.
52:17
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, she's feeling fantastic.
52:19
SPEAKER_01: She did some inner child work, and you know, when more stuff comes up, she'll go to it.
52:23
SPEAKER_01: I'm not asking you to search for hurts and wounds.
52:26
SPEAKER_01: I'm saying when they're up, learn how to emote.
52:29
SPEAKER_01: Fellas, pictures, wiffle ball bat, buddy's bed, 15 minutes.
52:34
SPEAKER_01: Keep it going, get it started.
52:37
SPEAKER_01: And the other thing I want people to understand, as I kind of finish up with a couple stories, is divinity is not a feeling.
52:48
SPEAKER_01: Your spiritual communion is not a feeling, it's a state of being.
52:55
SPEAKER_01: Hear the difference.
52:57
SPEAKER_01: A feeling is a mad, glad, sad, and scared.
53:00
SPEAKER_01: Emotion.
53:02
SPEAKER_01: Connecting with your divinity, connecting with your higher power.
53:07
SPEAKER_01: It's not, doesn't have an emotional sensation to it.
53:12
SPEAKER_01: It has an experiential sensation to it.
53:15
SPEAKER_01: You're going to experience that presence more from a sense of knowing than a sense of emotion, a sense of connection, a sense of grandness, a sense that there's something there that's not me.
53:31
SPEAKER_01: That is not a feeling.
53:33
SPEAKER_01: It's not emotion.
53:34
SPEAKER_01: And that's why people get so confused.
53:36
SPEAKER_01: They say, well, you know, I'm feeling all this mad, glad, sad, and scared.
53:39
SPEAKER_01: So I must not be spiritually connected good enough.
53:42
SPEAKER_01: That's a complete falsehood.
53:44
SPEAKER_01: Because your spiritual connection and spiritual communion is not emotion-based.
53:49
SPEAKER_01: It's not.
53:50
SPEAKER_01: It's a state of, it's a state of being.
53:52
SPEAKER_01: It's like forgiveness is not an action step.
53:55
SPEAKER_01: Forgiveness is a state of being.
53:57
SPEAKER_01: Surrender, not an action step.
53:59
SPEAKER_01: It's a state of being.
54:00
SPEAKER_01: It's a state of living as an essence of that noun.
54:05
SPEAKER_01: Surrender, forgiveness.
54:06
SPEAKER_01: Same with divinity.
54:08
SPEAKER_01: Now, when you have that sense of connection with your divinity, and then you start giving from it, giving back out into the world, where are you going to feel something wonderful?
54:20
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
54:22
SPEAKER_01: Simply connecting to it, are you necessarily going to experience mad, glad, sad, and scared?
54:28
SPEAKER_01: No, not necessarily.
54:30
SPEAKER_01: Living with it, you're going to feel better.
54:33
SPEAKER_01: I promise you, you get off this podcast right now, and some part of you says, you know what?
54:37
SPEAKER_01: I've never done one of these GoFundMe things because I never know where the money is.
54:41
SPEAKER_01: But I've been listening to Joe now for a month.
54:43
SPEAKER_01: I know he's got two caregivers in Uganda.
54:45
SPEAKER_01: I can trust that if I put$25 in this GoFundMe account, that he's going to get to Nepal.
54:52
SPEAKER_01: And then follow it, folks.
54:53
SPEAKER_01: And watch how you feel by following that part.
54:58
SPEAKER_01: Now, are some people totally connected?
55:02
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that guy named Jesus was.
55:05
SPEAKER_01: But I say all the time.
55:06
SPEAKER_01: Any Jesus is out there?
55:08
SPEAKER_01: If you are, get in touch with me, please.
55:10
SPEAKER_01: I'll definitely have you on as a podcast host.
55:12
SPEAKER_01: The bottom line, folks, you know, were there others like Jesus?
55:17
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
55:17
SPEAKER_01: Never seen one before, never heard of one, never read about him.
55:20
SPEAKER_01: So, you know, I am an absolute, without question mark, Jesus believer.
55:24
SPEAKER_01: I am, no question about it.
55:26
SPEAKER_01: And I say to myself all the time, until I'm walking on water, I still have a lot of growing to do.
55:32
SPEAKER_01: I still have a lot of mistakes I'm gonna make.
55:34
SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna step on people, I'm gonna do crazy shit that I wished I hadn't and make amends, and I'm gonna give back to the best of my ability.
55:42
SPEAKER_01: That's why I'm here, tired at 10:40 at night.
55:46
SPEAKER_01: So not walking on water anytime soon.
55:49
SPEAKER_01: And for the rest of us, right?
55:52
SPEAKER_01: Can we live from a sense of divinity even though emotionally we're not completely healed?
56:01
SPEAKER_01: And the answer is absolutely yes.
56:03
SPEAKER_01: It's an absolute yes.
56:05
SPEAKER_01: And divinity for me, how do we know when we're doing it?
56:10
SPEAKER_01: You have voices in your head.
56:13
SPEAKER_01: And the voices of I can't do it, I'm not good enough, I'm too fat, I'm too stupid, I'm too skinny, I'm too black, I'm too white, I'm a man, I'm this, whatever, whatever those voices are, the shame-based, guilt-based voices, those are the voices of your hurt.
56:28
SPEAKER_01: Those are the voices of your humanity, those are the voices of your humanness, the voices that say, Oh, I could never start a GoFundMe because I don't know how.
56:42
SPEAKER_01: That's the voice of your humanity.
56:45
SPEAKER_01: It is.
56:46
SPEAKER_01: How would that exact same experience sound if it's the voice of your divinity?
56:53
SPEAKER_01: Your divinity would say, Wow, I've never started a GoFundMe account, but I'm gonna go, I'm gonna trust that I'm gonna learn, and I'm gonna take whatever time it takes me to learn how to do it, and then I'm gonna send it to 20 people and see what happens.
57:14
SPEAKER_01: That's your divinity.
57:16
SPEAKER_01: An all-inclusive, all-supportive, slower-moving but committed voice.
57:25
SPEAKER_01: The I could never learn, that's your humanity.
57:30
SPEAKER_01: I'm too stupid to learn, that's your wound.
57:35
SPEAKER_01: I don't know how I will learn, but I will figure it out.
57:38
SPEAKER_01: That's your divinity.
57:39
SPEAKER_01: Whenever you hear voices producing and predicting a grander tomorrow, those are the voices of your divinity.
57:48
SPEAKER_01: Do you have to heal all your wounds to do that?
57:51
SPEAKER_01: No.
57:51
SPEAKER_01: Let me give you some pretty big examples.
57:56
SPEAKER_01: The whole idea, way back when, 2,000 years ago, there's a quote by Jesus that I remembered, I heard 40 years ago.
58:03
SPEAKER_01: Ye shall do what I have done in grander things.
58:06
SPEAKER_01: Now, of course, Jesus never said what, and Jesus never said how.
58:10
SPEAKER_01: Jesus said what.
58:12
SPEAKER_01: Now, was Jesus talking about you and me going and feeding 5,000 people with some bread and some loaves?
58:19
SPEAKER_01: No, he wasn't.
58:20
SPEAKER_01: Why?
58:21
SPEAKER_01: Because that how took a literal miracle by a divine being.
58:26
SPEAKER_01: You and me ain't him.
58:28
SPEAKER_01: We're not divine.
58:29
SPEAKER_01: But Jesus also said that our divinity is inside of us.
58:33
SPEAKER_01: That's the last thing he said before he ascended.
58:35
SPEAKER_01: So, what did he mean?
58:37
SPEAKER_01: Ye shall do what I have done in grander things.
58:40
SPEAKER_01: Basically, what he was talking about is as the future presents itself, you're going to come up with ideas that are sourced from the same divinity that Jesus said was put in us that are create a grander tomorrow.
58:59
SPEAKER_01: That's it.
59:00
SPEAKER_01: It's that simple.
59:01
SPEAKER_01: Now, how do we hear those voices?
59:04
SPEAKER_01: If you've got 10,000 ugly, shame-based voices, we have to write those down in the first step.
59:10
SPEAKER_01: If you've got all those voices and a bunch of emotion coming up, you probably got to deal with some of that.
59:16
SPEAKER_01: But a lot of you are already beyond that.
59:18
SPEAKER_01: You're 20 years in a program.
59:20
SPEAKER_01: You've been seeing a therapist on and off for 15 years.
59:23
SPEAKER_01: You emotionally feel pretty good, and now you're lost.
59:25
SPEAKER_01: What's your next thing?
59:26
SPEAKER_01: What's the now moment next?
59:28
SPEAKER_01: And from that position of now moment, following the grander you, it's following a part of you that is predicting a grander tomorrow, i.e., you might have a small voice say, I'm gonna go to that helpnepal.world and donate$50.
59:46
SPEAKER_01: Great.
59:47
SPEAKER_01: That's a grander tomorrow.
59:49
SPEAKER_01: Donating, knowing that it's gonna go and help people, that creates a grander tomorrow in your now moment giving that.
59:56
SPEAKER_01: But let me give you some other pretty big examples.
59:59
SPEAKER_01: Everybody knows Thomas Edison, right?
1:00:01
SPEAKER_01: What'd he do?
1:00:03
SPEAKER_01: Was he this spiritually connected, one with God, all of that?
1:00:07
SPEAKER_01: No, he wasn't.
1:00:08
SPEAKER_01: Do I know his background?
1:00:09
SPEAKER_01: Not really.
1:00:10
SPEAKER_01: I just know that because of him, we all have electricity.
1:00:13
SPEAKER_01: So think about this.
1:00:15
SPEAKER_01: Early, late 1800s, no electricity.
1:00:18
SPEAKER_01: By mid-1900s, electricity everywhere.
1:00:21
SPEAKER_01: Where did it start?
1:00:23
SPEAKER_01: Now I know there's some controversy about who literally started.
1:00:27
SPEAKER_01: I don't care the who.
1:00:28
SPEAKER_01: Let's say I don't know the other names.
1:00:30
SPEAKER_01: Let's just say there were three or four people.
1:00:32
SPEAKER_01: On a Monday, the idea wasn't there.
1:00:35
SPEAKER_01: On a Tuesday, it's there.
1:00:36
SPEAKER_01: On a Wednesday, they start taking action.
1:00:39
SPEAKER_01: Where did it come from?
1:00:41
SPEAKER_01: It wasn't there on Monday.
1:00:43
SPEAKER_01: Tuesday, Thomas Edison wakes up and says, I'm gonna create this thing called electricity.
1:00:49
SPEAKER_01: Well, did Wednesday, was there electricity around the world?
1:00:53
SPEAKER_01: No, there wasn't.
1:00:55
SPEAKER_01: And I don't know the I don't know what the numbers are, but I know he had an idea that was inspired.
1:01:04
SPEAKER_01: The part that inspired the idea was his divinity.
1:01:08
SPEAKER_01: How do I know?
1:01:09
SPEAKER_01: Because it wasn't of his humanity, it was his divinity.
1:01:12
SPEAKER_01: What was this divine part telling him?
1:01:15
SPEAKER_01: Create this little glass thing that produces light, and you can make the night times look like day with electricity.
1:01:23
SPEAKER_01: That was his divinity talking to him.
1:01:25
SPEAKER_01: Did he know that at the time?
1:01:27
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
1:01:27
SPEAKER_01: I don't know his story.
1:01:29
SPEAKER_01: Do I know it looking back?
1:01:30
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
1:01:31
SPEAKER_01: How?
1:01:31
SPEAKER_01: Because on Monday there was no such thing as a light bulb.
1:01:34
SPEAKER_01: On Tuesday, he was inspired, and then on Wednesday, he just kept taking the action steps over and over and over and over and over and over and over until eventually there's something called a light bulb.
1:01:47
SPEAKER_01: Well, that same divinity in him is in you.
1:01:51
SPEAKER_01: And a lot of people will say, Well, you know, I don't know what to do.
1:01:54
SPEAKER_01: I know you don't know what to do.
1:01:56
SPEAKER_01: The how-to is wake up and ask, dear divinity, dear God, guide me.
1:02:03
SPEAKER_01: What am I supposed to do?
1:02:04
SPEAKER_01: How can I give back?
1:02:06
SPEAKER_01: And if you're here to build a business, great.
1:02:09
SPEAKER_01: You know, I have different websites I try to support that are divinely guided websites.
1:02:15
SPEAKER_01: They are.
1:02:16
SPEAKER_01: I believe different websites are, truly.
1:02:19
SPEAKER_01: And they're divinely giving back.
1:02:21
SPEAKER_01: People with plenty of money that are doing a website that are service-based, they don't need the money.
1:02:26
SPEAKER_01: They're doing it because they're guided to do it.
1:02:29
SPEAKER_01: They are.
1:02:30
SPEAKER_01: The difference with a lot of people, though, they'll hear that guidance and then they start taking a little bit of action, but then by Thursday, Friday, it didn't work fast enough, and then they stopped taking the action, and then they blame as if the inspiration wasn't real in the first place.
1:02:49
SPEAKER_01: I think Thomas Edison tried the light bulb like 10,000 times, something like that.
1:02:55
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, a lot.
1:02:57
SPEAKER_01: And that's the difference.
1:02:58
SPEAKER_01: If you're here to build something big with your divinity, understand it takes time.
1:03:02
SPEAKER_01: So once you have the idea, because you can literally, humanity is waking up.
1:03:08
SPEAKER_01: And the consequence of the waking up is you can have more of a conscious communion, a conscious conversation with a power greater than yourself, grander than ever before.
1:03:19
SPEAKER_01: It's available to you now.
1:03:21
SPEAKER_01: I do it all the time, literally, and so can you.
1:03:26
SPEAKER_01: And once you have the inspiration, then you change from asking your divinity for to guide me, you change, then you ask for strength and courage.
1:03:37
SPEAKER_01: Dear God, guide me.
1:03:39
SPEAKER_01: What am I supposed to do?
1:03:40
SPEAKER_01: Is the first prayer, is the first asking.
1:03:43
SPEAKER_01: Ask and then in your silence, listen and then live.
1:03:48
SPEAKER_01: Act.
1:03:48
SPEAKER_01: It's kind of a tagline I have.
1:03:50
SPEAKER_01: Ask, listen, live.
1:03:52
SPEAKER_01: It's in the living, the way you live, then you change the question.
1:03:56
SPEAKER_01: You change the communication with your higher power.
1:04:00
SPEAKER_01: Because your higher power, who gave you the inspiration in the first place, the great idea, the new tomorrow, the wonderful idea of a tomorrow, you'll also gain the strength and courage you need from that same part to take the action steps you need to take consistently over time, to where then eventually it manifests out into the world.
1:04:22
SPEAKER_01: And why do we do it?
1:04:23
SPEAKER_01: Because as it manifests, it benefits everybody.
1:04:26
SPEAKER_01: In the benefiting everybody is when you're then giving to the world that which was inspired divinely in you.
1:04:34
SPEAKER_01: And that's where the full circle comes, literally.
1:04:38
SPEAKER_01: And it's in that part where we ask for strength and courage, where it's gonna take some strength and it's gonna take some courage.
1:04:50
SPEAKER_01: And quite honestly, if you're doing something big, that's why when I had my life coach, she basically said to me the other day, she says, Joe, you don't need me.
1:04:59
SPEAKER_01: You know, success.
1:05:01
SPEAKER_01: I've been successful, you don't need me.
1:05:03
SPEAKER_01: And I said, Well, I get that.
1:05:06
SPEAKER_01: I kind of enjoyed talking to you, but she was right.
1:05:09
SPEAKER_01: You know, I had three different conversations with her, and I didn't need advice, I didn't need guidance, I wanted feedback.
1:05:16
SPEAKER_01: When she had no feedback, it was because everything I was saying was working.
1:05:20
SPEAKER_01: And here we are, we podcast is working around the globe, rank, blah, blah, blah, right?
1:05:25
SPEAKER_01: So it's working.
1:05:26
SPEAKER_01: And if you're trying to create something bigger than normal, there's a whole world of people out there.
1:05:33
SPEAKER_01: The life coaches, the support coaches, the whole world of people that will help you take your inspiration, put action steps to it, and create something grand.
1:05:45
SPEAKER_01: And why what is the benefit of creating that grand experience?
1:05:49
SPEAKER_01: Feels good inside of you because then you're living through the grander you.
1:05:54
SPEAKER_01: And whatever it is you're creating, make sure you love what you're doing in the creation phase.
1:06:00
SPEAKER_01: Because as you do what you love, if God is love and love is in your heart and emotions are in your heart and love is an emotion, then that means as you're doing something you love, you're literally doing God.
1:06:13
SPEAKER_01: And that's a powerful place to live.
1:06:17
SPEAKER_01: I genuinely love doing these podcasts.
1:06:21
SPEAKER_01: So I'm literally living God as I'm doing these podcasts, living my divinity as I'm doing these podcasts.
1:06:29
SPEAKER_01: The part of you that enjoys listening to the podcast is your divinity.
1:06:35
SPEAKER_01: Why?
1:06:35
SPEAKER_01: Because if you hated it, you'd click off.
1:06:39
SPEAKER_01: I got my second one star, like 75, 76 stars.
1:06:44
SPEAKER_01: And I have to tell you, it's kind of funny.
1:06:45
SPEAKER_01: The very first time I got a one star, it kind of hurt my feelings.
1:06:48
SPEAKER_01: I'm not kidding, it did.
1:06:50
SPEAKER_01: I had 10, five stars, and then one one star.
1:06:53
SPEAKER_01: And I, you know, it kind of hurt my feelings at first.
1:06:55
SPEAKER_01: And then, you know, I kind of processed it a little bit.
1:06:58
SPEAKER_01: And then I said, Well, I applaud that person for having the courage to share their feelings.
1:07:03
SPEAKER_01: They didn't like it.
1:07:04
SPEAKER_01: And that's fine.
1:07:06
SPEAKER_01: It is, it's not for everybody.
1:07:08
SPEAKER_01: And I'm not calling that person better or worse.
1:07:11
SPEAKER_01: And I'm not calling everybody that gives me five stars better or worse.
1:07:14
SPEAKER_01: But I am telling you, if you love what you're hearing here, that's an absolute definition of spiritual warrior.
1:07:21
SPEAKER_01: And you are an absolute spiritual warrior.
1:07:23
SPEAKER_01: Well, the great news was just the other day I got my second one star out of 75.
1:07:27
SPEAKER_01: And that one didn't hurt so bad.
1:07:28
SPEAKER_01: I just kind of looked at it and kind of laughed.
1:07:30
SPEAKER_01: And I say that kiddingly, but the first one was, it's kind of a tweak.
1:07:35
SPEAKER_01: But it's all about you're loving what you're hearing.
1:07:39
SPEAKER_01: How do I know?
1:07:40
SPEAKER_01: Because you keep coming back.
1:07:41
SPEAKER_01: That's your divinity, literally.
1:07:43
SPEAKER_01: And as you do things you love, giving or receiving, you're doing a grander part of yourself.
1:07:51
SPEAKER_01: You're living as a grander part of yourself.
1:07:53
SPEAKER_01: Think about the Wright brothers.
1:07:55
SPEAKER_01: You know, those crazy guys?
1:07:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we're gonna build a contraption to where we don't have to keep our feet on the ground anymore, and we're gonna fly through the air.
1:08:04
SPEAKER_01: Can you imagine how society had to think they were just completely nuts?
1:08:07
SPEAKER_01: Did they care?
1:08:09
SPEAKER_01: No, obviously not.
1:08:10
SPEAKER_01: It worked.
1:08:11
SPEAKER_01: Do I know their stories?
1:08:12
unknown: No.
1:08:14
SPEAKER_01: Where did that idea come from?
1:08:15
SPEAKER_01: It never had existed ever, not once ever did it exist.
1:08:21
SPEAKER_01: On a Monday, it wasn't there.
1:08:22
SPEAKER_01: On a Tuesday, one of them was inspired to create wings for men.
1:08:27
SPEAKER_01: And then over the following days, weeks, months, and years, they did it.
1:08:30
SPEAKER_01: They created the first airplane.
1:08:32
SPEAKER_01: I think the first flight was 26 seconds or something.
1:08:36
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, don't quote me.
1:08:38
SPEAKER_01: But Monday it wasn't there.
1:08:40
SPEAKER_01: Tuesday, the inspiration was there.
1:08:42
SPEAKER_01: Then they acted on the inspiration.
1:08:45
SPEAKER_01: Where did they go from zero to something in their divinity?
1:08:50
SPEAKER_01: The same divinity that created the concept of flight, that same divinity is in you.
1:08:58
SPEAKER_01: It's in me.
1:09:00
SPEAKER_01: We're all created in God's image.
1:09:02
SPEAKER_01: We all have a divine sense of ourselves.
1:09:06
SPEAKER_01: The other one, how you're listening to me now, a guy named Bill decided 40 years ago, I'm gonna create a box and have it on everybody's house in the whole planet.
1:09:19
SPEAKER_01: Well, Mr.
1:09:19
SPEAKER_01: Gates created the concept of the PC.
1:09:23
SPEAKER_01: Now don't quote me on the details and the all of that, but basically, Bill Gates was the was kind of the founder of the PC.
1:09:32
SPEAKER_01: How did it go from there?
1:09:33
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
1:09:34
SPEAKER_01: All I know is I wish I'd have had one back in 1990, which I didn't.
1:09:39
SPEAKER_01: I wish I'd have had one in the mid-90s, which I didn't.
1:09:42
SPEAKER_01: I spent seven years.
1:09:44
SPEAKER_01: There wasn't computers around.
1:09:45
SPEAKER_01: The internet barely existed.
1:09:46
SPEAKER_01: Where I was, that's why we're the generation of change and everything's happening so much faster now.
1:09:52
SPEAKER_01: So where did these, in this particular case, three different men, where did they get these ideas?
1:09:59
SPEAKER_01: They got the ideas from their divinity.
1:10:01
SPEAKER_01: They were inspired ideas.
1:10:04
SPEAKER_01: That same divinity that lives in them lives in you.
1:10:07
SPEAKER_01: How do you connect with your divinity today?
1:10:10
SPEAKER_01: Dear God, please guide me.
1:10:13
SPEAKER_01: If your heart is wanting to help these poor people in Nepal, start, see what your God tells you to do.
1:10:20
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what you're going to be got.
1:10:22
SPEAKER_01: I keep giving you the example.
1:10:23
SPEAKER_01: Go to my website, helpnepal.world.
1:10:26
SPEAKER_01: Maybe that's it.
1:10:28
SPEAKER_01: Maybe it's start a little fundraiser at your church.
1:10:32
SPEAKER_01: Something, a something with the giving back.
1:10:36
SPEAKER_01: Where we are, as humanity is waking up, our capacity to communicate, ask, and then listen is getting grander every day.
1:10:48
SPEAKER_01: Are any of these three men of the past here that I mentioned, or any of them in history called spiritual gurus?
1:10:55
SPEAKER_01: Not that I'm aware of.
1:10:57
SPEAKER_01: No.
1:10:58
SPEAKER_01: But they all, those three examples all had humanity-changing concepts where did it get sourced?
1:11:11
SPEAKER_01: Their divinity.
1:11:12
SPEAKER_01: And in my opinion, that's what Jesus was talking about.
1:11:15
SPEAKER_01: Jesus wasn't talking about, hey, y'all are gonna be all go out there and cure disease with your hands.
1:11:21
SPEAKER_01: Jesus never said that.
1:11:22
SPEAKER_01: He wasn't meaning that.
1:11:24
SPEAKER_01: He never said how, he said what.
1:11:26
SPEAKER_01: Now, somebody out there curing people with their hands, and you think you're Jesus reincarnated?
1:11:33
SPEAKER_01: Beautiful.
1:11:34
SPEAKER_01: I'll have you as a guest.
1:11:35
SPEAKER_01: In the meantime, basically, as we're waking up, literally waking up, humanity's waking up, our conscious availability to communicate and commune with a power greater than ourselves becomes grander than ever.
1:11:51
SPEAKER_01: Can we literally become one with that part?
1:11:54
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
1:11:55
SPEAKER_01: Heal the depths of your inner child, heal the depths of your suppressed emotion.
1:11:59
SPEAKER_01: The only thing left is your oneness, your overflow.
1:12:03
SPEAKER_01: That overflow sensation is called love.
1:12:06
SPEAKER_01: That sensation will connect you with a communion with a power greater than yourself.
1:12:10
SPEAKER_01: As you're acting on that communion, you will feel the sense of love.
1:12:14
SPEAKER_01: I live there most of the time.
1:12:17
SPEAKER_01: Why do I say it?
1:12:18
SPEAKER_01: How could a guy who 30 years ago was completely homeless?
1:12:22
SPEAKER_01: How could a guy that described himself as an F you God guy 30 years ago move forward today and become a global podcaster talking about emotional growth and human transformation, talking about healing the depths of ourselves and becoming one with a power greater than ourselves?
1:12:41
SPEAKER_01: Did I have any idea that it was happening through the different times?
1:12:44
SPEAKER_01: No, that's a different podcast.
1:12:47
SPEAKER_01: But today I consider myself a god guy.
1:12:50
SPEAKER_01: I do.
1:12:51
SPEAKER_01: And everything I knew to be true is literally being lived through the episodes of the We podcast.
1:12:58
SPEAKER_01: Visit my website, joemitica.com, get my books, listen to the episodes over and over.
1:13:04
SPEAKER_01: Let me keep you company during your darker times and let me celebrate with you in your grander times and keep telling people about the Wii Podcast.

1:13:25
SPEAKER_01: You'll see where every penny goes out in social media.
1:13:29
SPEAKER_01: We can really make a difference.
1:13:30
SPEAKER_01: We can.
1:13:31
SPEAKER_01: And we can truly help.
1:13:33
SPEAKER_01: And as we do it together, that's all why I'm here.
1:13:36
SPEAKER_01: 100 million downloads a month is the goal because as I help 100 million people connect with the depths of themselves, they heal.
1:13:46
SPEAKER_01: As I help 100 million people commune with a grander part of themselves, they feel fuller.
1:13:52
SPEAKER_01: They feel more one.
1:13:53
SPEAKER_01: And it's in that oneness that you want to give back.
1:13:56
SPEAKER_01: And it's in the giving back where we heal humanity.
1:14:00
SPEAKER_01: More of us heal, the more of us give back.
1:14:03
SPEAKER_01: The more of us give back, the more we feel better.
1:14:06
SPEAKER_01: And together we're making the difference.
1:14:09
SPEAKER_01: Together, we're healing humanity.
1:14:11
SPEAKER_01: And together, we're literally able to create an environment as the generation of change where we're leaving the world a very different place for the next generations because we're working together, we're coming together, we're healing together, and we're making a difference one smile at a time.
