0:02
And hello everyone, welcome back to Eye Opener Society, welcome back to our Thursday night sermon.
0:10
We are being broadcasted live every Thursday at 7 p.m.
0:13
Eastern Standard Time, live across Facebook as well as YouTube.
0:18
And I just wanted to give everyone a heads up because I know I've had it mentioned
0:23
to me a couple times about streaming over TikTok. I tried it.
0:29
I actually downloaded a whole program
0:31
from my desktop, but they wanted an application that I have to fill out.
0:36
And not only do I have to fill it out, but I need to fill it out every 14 days.
0:44
It's absolutely ridiculous So I'm just using what we're using right now Because
0:49
I think it's going to work out perfectly More consistent If you would like to join us Don't forget,
0:55
go on our Facebook page I actually have the link to our Restream
0:59
account And that Restream account You can join us live right here too as well
1:05
So we are here today And I want to thank everybody And I wanted to do a very
1:10
special thank you To Carly and Carla from Appalachian Rootworks I know you hear
1:14
us talking all the time about them,
1:17
but Carly and Carla have been absolutely fantastic.
1:19
I was down in Cynthiana, Kentucky over the weekend.
1:23
I'd done my very first in-person meditation class. I can't thank them enough.
1:28
I want you to go to AppalachianRootWorks.com, check them out.
1:33
And here's the announcement. I know if anybody was following this show.
1:39
I took almost six months of letting everybody know that I'm moving.
1:43
I started a year. I'm moving, I'm moving, I'm moving.
1:47
But the cool thing, I'll probably be relocating again.
1:52
But this time, I'm going to be relocating to Cynthiana, Kentucky.
1:57
I got it in my mind. I want to do it. And that's what I'm going to be talking about.
2:04
You see, all of us have passions. Every single one of us. We all wind up at
2:12
some point in time wanting to do something.
2:16
We want to do something that we have a passion to do. Maybe we're starting too late in life with it.
2:24
Or maybe you just felt like you never had the energy, the guts,
2:30
whatever it was, to actually set out and do it.
2:34
Now, I have confidence in everybody. So everybody that's listening,
2:39
everybody that's picking up the recording of this, no matter when you tune in,
2:44
you still have the opportunity to do what it is you want, your passions, your dreams.
2:51
This is your life, and you must take charge of it.
2:58
I've talked about this When I started this ministry I got together with Lizzie
3:05
And I was just like Hey, let's start a church And Lizzie's like Hey,
3:08
I always wanted to start a church You know what?
3:11
I sat there and I said I thought about this four years ago I never did it,
3:17
But all it took was that one chance where I just said, you know what, that's it.
3:24
This is going to be done, and I'm going to do it.
3:28
And look at where we are now. We're already doing sermons.
3:32
You know, we're broadcasting this. We got a lot going on in the background.
3:36
It's a passion of mine that I wanted to get done.
3:41
The other passion that I wanted was...
3:47
To be in a place of comfort for my own sake.
3:52
Now, I'm very comfortable out in the woods with just a tent.
3:56
I'm good with it. As a matter of fact, I'm very good with it.
4:00
I'm overly, overly excited for that kind of stuff.
4:05
And the only reason, the quietness, the security that I feel when I'm out in the woods alone,
4:13
alone sitting up against a tree rocks under a tent under the stars wherever
4:20
it may be that's where I want to be that's the place that I love so much now this extends as well to.
4:32
Where I live and most of us maybe we're comfortable where we live maybe we're
4:41
not so comfortable but here's the thing.
4:44
We have the ability to move. We're mobile people.
4:48
We don't need to be stuck in one spot. But most importantly,
4:52
you should not be stuck in a place where you feel uncomfortable.
4:58
And I don't care where that place is.
5:01
Uproot yourself. Go out there. Have an adventure.
5:05
Explore. Even if it's not permanent. Even if you just say, hey,
5:09
I'm going to take a month and I'm going to explore every single corner of the
5:12
country or every single corner of the world.
5:16
It's up to you to do it. It's up to you to make that move.
5:20
See, I can only motivate so much on these sermons. I can only give ideas as, you know, so much.
5:28
Really is up to you, the individual, the human being.
5:33
When we are so confined in a space that we no longer like or we feel no longer resonates with us,
5:40
being stuck in that place kind of makes life more difficult for us because every
5:47
day becomes a challenge. How am I going to make this better?
5:50
And everything I taught about happiness, positivity, we could apply that every
5:56
single day, but if it is a physical need to get up and move,
6:02
change the scenery, do it.
6:04
I've waited way too long and I've changed my scenery many times.
6:08
I've moved all up and down this East Coast.
6:12
I've seen different things. I've been in different places, but now this stage
6:18
in my life, I'm looking for something more.
6:22
I want it not to be a move just for a job opportunity.
6:27
I want it to be a move due to a passion of mine because I want to be in a place
6:34
where I am accepted, where I'm going to have people supporting me all the time around me,
6:40
meeting new people that resonate with me.
6:43
It needs to be a complete adventure.
6:47
And that's what I'm looking for. That is my dream.
6:51
That is my goal going forward. And I'm making every single possible step to do so.
6:58
There's no reason at all why you cannot do the same thing.
7:02
And you know what? You might be very comfortable where you are And that is fantastic
7:08
too So why not take that And add that to the positive things in your life.
7:17
Use it to better yourself Use it to better the people around you Because you're
7:24
able to express yourself better And sometimes even more when you're in that place of comfort,
7:32
This is exactly what I found when I was down in Cynthiana, Kentucky.
7:37
I found that place. I found that feeling. I found that emotional growth I've been looking for.
7:49
And how did I recognize it?
7:52
Well, as soon as I got home, when I get hit with all of the lower vibrational
7:58
energies, when I get back to where I am, I recognize and I realize right then
8:04
and there, I need to make a change.
8:07
There's nothing wrong with making those changes. As a matter of fact,
8:11
there's nothing wrong at all with making changes as often as you need to. There's no limits.
8:19
There's always going to be people out there, and I've dealt with it.
8:22
I dealt with it at the beginning of this year when I started making some decisions,
8:27
and I started to express those decisions.
8:29
Right away, people, especially people close to you, you can't do that.
8:34
You shouldn't do that. Oh, what about this?
8:37
Listen, I don't need the negativity.
8:41
You out there do not need the negativity. You need positivity.
8:45
You need somebody behind you
8:47
telling you, yes, you can. I admire your passion. I admire your dreams.
8:53
That's what you need. And that's what I am here to give to you.
8:57
That sort of positivity, that sort of encouragement, that's something that we all need.
9:02
And that's something that we should start doing more of when we're talking to
9:08
people and we are asking them, what are your desires? What's your dreams?
9:12
Those people are going to express that to you.
9:16
Right then and there, that's when you should be interjecting and saying,
9:19
that's a fantastic dream. I hope all works out for you.
9:24
If there's anything I can do to support you, this is what we need.
9:29
This is part of Eye Opener Society's mission.
9:33
We want to support everybody. We want to support your dreams.
9:36
We want to support you. And that's what we are going to do.
9:40
My name is Gary Dean. I'm a founding member of Eye Opener Society.
9:46
I'm going to turn things over now to the co-creator of this wonderful ministry,
9:51
our dear friend, the cosmic fairy, Princess Lizzie. Let's bring her in.
9:58
Hello. I'm really excited to talk today, and I honestly couldn't make up my
10:05
mind what I wanted to talk about.
10:08
This week, I ripped my toenail off, and of course, everything that I do,
10:13
I just turned it into a big spiritual quest for knowledge and truth.
10:18
So I spent a lot of time researching a lot
10:20
of things but truly what everything all circled
10:24
back down to is everything that we're
10:27
exploring everything that I can find about
10:31
trying to heal your nervous system your
10:34
body all of that is under the assumption that
10:38
you can kind of just put everything on pause
10:41
you know because I can put my toe up
10:44
for a couple days I absolutely did that that's easy
10:47
it only takes a couple days to heal a toe but your nervous
10:50
system that takes years it takes
10:54
years when I first heard about burnout um
10:58
they said it takes two to five years to
11:01
heal from burnout and I thought bullshit who's
11:04
got time for that um the thing
11:07
is is it does actually take some time but not
11:10
I think because that it actually
11:13
takes time I think it takes time because not
11:17
everybody's nervous system heals the same way and
11:20
disappearing off into the woods or some
11:23
sort of retreat just doesn't work the way that I think at least my imagination
11:31
wants me to think because truthfully even if you are able to go on a vacation
11:38
and recenter yourself into everything.
11:42
Of peace everything's still waiting for you when when you come back and maybe
11:48
you are refreshed and you're not like at your boiling point and you can look
11:51
at it differently but it's still there.
11:56
And so this is something that I've been really pondering and playing with the
11:59
last little bit, because I don't believe that you're ever left without what
12:04
you need, which means if it's not practical for you to disappear into the woods to recenter your soul,
12:10
that must not be necessary, which means somewhere in the chaos,
12:14
you can heal your nervous system.
12:17
And how that is, I don't know. I think that's why they think it takes two to five years.
12:22
The thing is what I've learned is you
12:25
can absolutely bloom anywhere and
12:28
you can also be trapped anywhere I've met
12:31
some really happy people who on perceiving
12:35
what they're experiencing looks like a life I would never survive and then I
12:40
also see people who look like they're living the life that I like wish I have
12:45
and they can't even like see what they have you can bloom anywhere and you can be trapped anywhere,
12:52
and it's completely your choice.
12:56
But with that, there's also a caveat because there's a caveat to absolutely
13:00
everything in the spiritual world.
13:04
Everything is your choice, which means that it is because you wanted it to be.
13:10
It's giving you something.
13:12
But this can also come down to this place where a lot of people have a hard
13:16
time with that because it makes them feel like the things they've been through is their fault.
13:21
And those two truths are not, they're not synonymous like we think that they are.
13:29
We're playing a game, I think, where there's not rules like we would like them to be.
13:36
I believe that all the rules that do exist are the ones that we agreed to.
13:42
A lot of people talk about how in this world everything is so polarizing,
13:48
good and evil, light and dark, all of that.
13:53
But polarity from a cosmic perspective is really just the opportunity for freedom
13:59
of choice and so truly sometimes if we're not conscious that choice is going
14:08
to be chaos it is going to be all,
14:11
I guess chaos is the best way to explain it,
14:15
trapping yourself in a place which makes you feel like
14:18
it's your fault you're in a spot you don't like
14:21
really removes your choice of removing it
14:25
because if you had a choice you would not be there but when you look at it as
14:31
it's a choice of what you're experiencing from that you can give space for gratitude
14:36
can give space for all for grace for everything that's happening and that opens up choice.
14:43
Because when you can see what's in your situation that is good,
14:48
you know what you want to amplify.
14:50
And when things are allowed to just exist, not great, and you can give them
14:56
grace to just exist, you can actually find solutions to most of your problems.
15:03
Because everybody wants to go in already with a solution, it limits what you
15:10
can do, which traps you out of choice.
15:14
Everything in life seems to be about the polarities.
15:19
It's almost like you have to focus on one side and then the other.
15:24
If you started a soft, little, squishy, compassionate being,
15:28
at some point, you're going to probably have to get a little too harsh.
15:32
And if you started a little too harsh you have to get all nice and squishy soft
15:36
and usually you do both and then you integrate the both of them and then somewhere
15:42
along the lines it comes out to a long list of spiritual gifts and qualities
15:48
that you see why you went through it.
15:54
Because everything exists on this double-sided thing, it creates a lot of arguments
16:00
between the two different sides.
16:01
You could scroll through TikTok and one will be about how everything is about conscious choice.
16:07
And then the next one will be about how everything is about surrendering.
16:11
And the truth is, it's kind of both of them. You surrender to find your baseline,
16:16
but at some point you have to evolve that to expand your capacity.
16:22
But back to that two to five years of the nervous system, that's different for everybody.
16:26
And somewhere, somewhere in the chaos is space for you to find peace.
16:32
And that's going to be different for everybody.
16:35
But the beautiful, beautiful thing is that your body is so magically designed
16:41
to give you everything that you need.
16:43
Like, okay, if you don't listen to me regularly, this will sound kind of all
16:47
over the place. But I swear it comes with purpose.
16:51
I was learning about farts okay and your
16:56
stinky farts come from your body fermenting
17:00
protein because you don't have enough fiber because it needs to ferment that
17:04
fiber for all the other things I don't remember that it needs but if the fiber
17:08
is not available it'll ferment the protein and that's actually where you get
17:11
stinky farts just fun fact but the thing is if you don't give your body what it needs,
17:18
it'll adapt in other ways.
17:20
The universe, your body, your soul, your mind always gives you everything that you need.
17:27
The choice lies in if you can give it space to be seen or not,
17:31
or if you just think you already have the solution.
17:34
Because if you already think you have the solution, it probably will take you
17:38
two to five years to figure it out.
17:40
And I guess that's kind of everything.
17:44
I hope that everybody's had just a beautiful week and I hope that everybody's
17:49
been hugging trees because it's spring and the trees need you.
17:55
