  Speaker 1: Welcome to the Inner Wealth Podcast, where we learn and choose to live inspired each and every day.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Lately, I've been revealing my spirituality more and I'm not talking about religion, so this spirituality and religion are different.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: So there's an, there's a your body that's the spiritual journey is understanding.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: It's also called self-mastery.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: The spiritual journey is going inside of your belief system, of your thoughts, of your emotions, and really understanding what's happening inside of your container, in the internal world, the inner world that you are, and I'll say the inner world that you are.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: You are not the flesh, you are not the body, you are not the mind, but you are that spirit within you.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Now you can call it soul, you.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Now you can call it soul, right, but you're not the character, you're not your personality, you are not your name, you are not your job, you are not your marital status.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: These are not you.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: If it can change, it's not you.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And your body changes.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Your name can change, your job can change, your marital status can change.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: So if it can change, it's not you you are.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: The awareness is relying or capturing the inputs of the senses and making sense of them.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: The awareness is aware of what's happening in your external world.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: That's who you are.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: You are that awareness.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You are not the outside world and you are not what's happening in your outside world.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And you are not your body.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You're not your mind.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: You are not your, because your mind changes, right?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: So you're not your emotions, because your emotions can change.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: You're nothing that changes.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Now, that is the spiritual journey is going inside, to find, to explore and find that and discover it and turn up the volume of the soul that within and the soul in control.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: And most people on this planet are walking around with their ego turned all the way up and their soul turned all the way down, and that's why everybody's living in fear.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: That's why everybody is money-driven, money-hungry, success-hungry, looking for attention, starved for attention, distracted.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Most people on this planet over 95%, probably even more are living life, with the volume of their ego turned all the way up and the volume of their soul turned all the way down, and they're just chasing, and they're chasing ghosts.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: They know the suffering that's happening inside of them, but they're looking for ways to solve that suffering inside of them, outside of them.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: And if they stopped, if they ever stopped, like chasing the end of suffering outside by rearranging their circumstances, and they, they went inside and looked into what's happening inside of their mind and their body and really who they are, that spirit, that soul within, if they ever did that, their suffering would start to slow down or cease or dissolve.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: This spiritual journey is a journey of discovering that the suffering is within and nothing outside of you creates or causes or resolves you of that suffering.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: And I've been stepping into this space.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: So right now I'm writing a book called inner world, outer world, my spiritual journey to material freedom.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Because what, like, what you create in your life is a direct, direct reflection of who you are.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So when you change, everything changes.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: When you re-identify and re-imagine what's happening inside and you rearrange who you think you are and who you believe you are and how you believe you can create, then everything in your world starts to shift around.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: That, to make it true.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: That's how your beliefs create your reality.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: This through that book, through my blog on this podcast, more and more in my mastermind.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: From this stage, I've been sharing these things more and more, stepping into my spiritual nature, stepping into the spiritual teacher that I am within.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: There's a reason that this podcast is called the Inner Wealth Podcast.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: It used to be called the Love Prophet Play and I changed the name to the Inner Wealth Podcast to more align with who I really am.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: And part of this, part of the reason that I'm just now stepping into this more powerfully, is because I was scared to really be who I am.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I feared rejection and I feared abandonment.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I feared collapse, I feared judgment and, like I wouldn't fully allow this spiritual teacher to evolve and to take root.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: But now I am.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: This is a I guess you could call it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: This is a challenge and a problem.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I guess this is a source of healing and self-discovery in humans all over the world, eight billion people on the planet, and we're all hiding some aspect of ourself.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: I am a voracious student of a spiritual teacher by the name of Dr Joseph Dispenza.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Now he's Dr Joseph Dispenza because he's a doctor, he's a scientist and Dr Joe has written four solo books.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So he's authored many with other people, but he's authored four solo books.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: The first book was called Evolve your Brain.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: The second book is Breaking the Habit of being Yourself.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: The third is you Are the Placebo and the fourth is Becoming Supernatural.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: That's his latest work.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Now I've attended two of Dr Joe's advanced workshops, one in Orlando, florida and one in Denver, colorado dance workshops one in Orlando, florida and one in Denver, colorado and he teaches at this workshop.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: He teaches basically the work that he presents in becoming supernatural.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: And listen this these workshops are woo, woo as fuck, all right, and there's 2000, close to 2000 people from almost 60 countries around the world who pay about $2,500 for a week to be there.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: So do the math on that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: And these events are huge and they are life-changing.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: They're breathtaking.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Things happen during these events and you can literally see people's lives and their bodies heal.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: You can literally see transformation taking place before your very eyes.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: It's amazing and he documents it and he records it.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: You see people walking around with helmets that have wires because they're testing the electrical nature and makeup and the impulses.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: What's happening in people's brains.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: People get.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: They get laboratory tested their urine, their feces, their blood get tested before and after the event, sometimes at the beginning of the day and at the end of meditation and the impacts of mindfulness on health and well-being.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: And from day to day and over the course of the week you can literally see people's lives transform.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: This is life-changing fucking stuff.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: And in these advanced workshops he teaches work that he presents in Becoming Supernatural.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And at the very beginning of Becoming Supernatural he says this is the book that I've always wanted to write but I was scared of writing.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: And if you go all the way back to Evolve your Brain, it was a very scientific book.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: It was basically science and he presented it as a scientist basically science and he presented it like as a scientist.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: And if you go to breaking the habit of being yourself, it's probably 25 percent, 75 science, 25 spirituality.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: And if you advance to you are the placebo.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: It's about 50 spirituality and 50 science.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And if and if you go into becoming supernatural, it's 100% freaking spiritual.
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: Woo-woo, shit man, it's powerful.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And this is the work that people from all over the world comes to do with Dr Joe and he is literally transforming this world through his work.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Now, the first time I went, I was invited, I was encouraged to go by my good friend Brian Schroeder, and Brian and I and some of Brian's family and our friend Keith Ulmer, we all went to Dr Joe's advanced workshop down in Orlando, florida.
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: Then we went to see Michael Singer on Tethered Soul the the week after and that was awesome, that's another story but but we went to see dr joe and we spent the week with him and you can literally see people's lives transform.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: But the reason being brian invited me encouraged me to go because he knows the power of the work that I do with people.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: He's seen people's lives transform through through our work together and he understands and we still chat every single week on Sundays we have what we call church, but we talk spirituality every single Sunday and he understands the power of the work that I do and he understands the importance of the work that I do with people to help them shift how they perceive life and how they perceive themselves and what's happening inside.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: And my work, the work I do with people, helps create freedom, spiritual freedom, spiritual prosperity inside, inner wealth.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: And when I first walked into the Dr Joe advanced workshop and I looked around and there were 2000 people and I and I did a 360 just looking around at the crowd and Brian looked at me and said Mike, people want what you have to offer retreat on our mastermind calls.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: I do some of that same work, just with a smaller group of people, and I'm not world renowned yet.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: This is why I've released meditations as well.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: But the point being is, I was hiding because I was afraid to really let this spiritual thing out of the box.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: And Dr Joe had the same exact problem.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: He said in Becoming Supernatural this is a book that I've always wanted to write, but I was afraid of being labeled a pseudoscientist.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: But now he sees the impact.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: He's collected data, he has plenty of evidence, he has testimonials that the spiritual work that he does with people works.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And he's not a pseudoscientist, he is a real scientist using scientific methods to prove spiritual work and it's freaking amazing.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: It's literally amazing.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Now, right now, I'm in the middle.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I'm almost done with a book called the Creative Act by Rick Rubin.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Now my least likely client Now my least likely client, joshua my least likely client to recommend a spiritual book to me out of nowhere, sent me a text and said Mike, have you ever read this.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: This is really good.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: And when I started running I ran yesterday I started running and I started listening to, started running and I started listening to it and I'm listening to this book.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: That's woo as fuck and it's just completely, completely spiritual and it's so awesome and it's fascinating and it's fantastic and he presents it in such an awesome way.
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: And he presents it in such an awesome way.
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: And, in case you don't know who Rick Rubin is, he is a world-renowned music producer.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I believe he co-owned or co-started up Def Jam Records.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: He's produced Public Enemy.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: He's produced LL Cool J.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: He's produced the Beastie Boys.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: He's produced LL Cool J.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: He's produced the Beastie Boys, but he's also produced like Metallica and Slayer and and thrash bands.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: He's produced everything from frickin country to to rap, to to death metal.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, this guy, this guy is an artist and he's a world renowned frickin like music producer who is the top name in the industry.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: And inside of this book he doesn't say I'm not sure if he doesn't say, but there's like it's almost devoid of his personal recognition for the work that he does.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And this book is all about spirituality.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: This book is literally helping me again step fully into this spiritual nature that I am the spiritual teacher, and it shows me again that this work that I'm doing is powerful and important and impactful.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: It moves the needle, and one client I had one time after we worked together for a year, he said it's been the happiest year of my life.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: He always had the money.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: He was just never enjoying it, because it's a spiritual work that helps you be fulfilled and enjoy life, not material work.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: So about two months ago I set an intention and in this intention it was to step more into a spiritual space, to write a very spiritual book and to start doing more spiritual teaching and coaching and seminars and lectures and to start to step more into my true nature as a spiritual being and spiritual teacher.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I set that intention and, wouldn't you know it, right after I set this intention, things started lining up for me to actually step into that and things just started happening in my life and opportunity started opening up and Joshua shares this book with me and I mean just one thing unlocked after another and I'm literally getting the opportunity to step into this spiritual space and the least likely person that I know recommended a book that helped me do this.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: The least likely was the person who helped me see that I can be spiritual and actually be a leader in this world, in this world.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: The reason I'm sharing this and it took 16 minutes to get here is because the biggest block that I see that people have to getting what they want, to being who they want, getting what they want, to being who they want, to opening up themselves to a new world and new experiences, is their ability slash their inability to receive.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is if you're not open to life bringing you what you want right now without you having to justify it or to work harder or to effort more, If you're not open to life actually giving you what you want and the universe lining things up so that you can receive it, it doesn't mean you won't need to take some action.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that you won't have to.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: You won't have to, you know, tune up some muscles and you won't have to do something.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: But if you're not open to life delivering to you what you want, you won't receive it.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: And the difference between people that I know that get what they want and people that don't get what they want is the people that don't get what they want, don't believe that they're ready for it or that they deserve it, or that they've worked hard enough for it, or that they're valuable enough or they haven't efforted enough.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: And they're still holding some sense of internal resistance to what they want.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: And it's almost like that internal resistance is keeping it away.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: They consciously say they want what they want, but their energy inside is not open and not receptive.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: They're not allowing that thing to drop into their life.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: And the reason that Brian and I have church and the reason that I went to Dr Joe Dispenza with Brian and his family and Keith and the reason that I'm so in lockstep with Brian is because we're walking the same spiritual path.
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: We collaborate over the spiritual world and the spiritual work that we do and the spiritual difference, the difference that we're making in the world difference, the difference that we're making in the world.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: And one time I sent Brian a work and a piece of a piece of a creative material that I content that I was writing about the three C's clarity, certainty and commitment.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Clarity, getting clear about what you want.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Certainty, knowing that you can have it.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Letting letting go of doubt, letting letting go of of go of that internal resistance.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: And commitment, staying patient in the process, taking inspired action.
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: And when I checked in with Brian and I said, hey, what do you think about this work?
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: He said there's only one problem with it you talk about taking action too much and you leave out allowing life to bring it to you and allowing yourself to receive it and opening yourself up to receive it.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Like actions, probably 10% of the creation process Is more than 90%.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: In order to become who you want, in order to have what you want, in order to create what you want to experience, in order to rearrange the circumstances in your life, in order for life to rearrange the circumstances for you, you must be open and be willing to step in, let go of the resistance of receiving and allowing life to bring it to you and allowing life to deliver it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: And it doesn't mean that you need to obsess.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that you need to worry.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that you need to have doubt.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean you need to struggle.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: You just need to be open and receptive to receiving what you want.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I wasn't open to receiving what I wanted for a lot of my teaching career.
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: I guess you could call it whatever this coaching, authorship speaking gig that I've been doing for the last eight years I wasn't open and receptive to getting what I wanted and being who I wanted and having what I wanted.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I had some sense of resistance inside of me and having what I wanted.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: I had some sense of resistance inside of me and as that resistance wanes and dissipates, life is delivering to me what I want, beginning to line things up for me.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Guys, taking action to get what you want is certainly, certainly part of the game, is certainly certainly part of the game, but it's not all the game.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Receiving is way more impactful.
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: Your ability to receive is way, and being open to receive right now is way more pressing of a need than action.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: When you get clear about what you want clarity, when you let go of doubts and have faith, certainty, and when you remain committed to the process until it shows up, with patience, with ease, with inspired action, and you open yourself up to receive the art of allowing, open yourself up to receive the art of allowing You'll find yourself being bombarded with the opportunities and bombarded with the things that you want, and it gets scary to a degree.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Make sure you're open, make sure you're receptive at all times to what you want and check in internally in the spiritual work in the spiritual space, in the mind, body and your energy.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Make sure you're open inside to receive and ready to receive what you want right now, because until you're ready to receive, you won't.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: You are as valuable right now as you need to get the goods and to be authentic and to fully step into your own power.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: The universe is waiting for you.
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: You're not waiting for the universe.
