- 0:37Speaker 2: Pharaoh, And this is vocal dfrag. Vocal defragging is asking
- 0:40Speaker 2: yourself the questions and then questioning the answers. The keyword
- 0:46Speaker 2: there is yourself, because too often we depend on asking
- 0:51Speaker 2: other people what always blows me away? And this is
- 0:54Speaker 2: not a judgment, but it's kind to come across as
- 0:56Speaker 2: a judgment. I do find it very retaining when people
- 1:02Speaker 2: will meet somebody new and right away, within the first
- 1:06Speaker 2: couple of days, they've got to dump their entire story
- 1:09Speaker 2: on that newbie, and it's like, holy crap, who are
- 1:14Speaker 2: you again? Where are you? And never once did you
- 1:18Speaker 2: ask that question to yourself. Vocal defragging I keep a
- 1:22Speaker 2: defragged journal, which I've been doing since November of twenty seventeen,
- 1:26Speaker 2: And vocal defragging is actually there's no interpretation here. You
- 1:29Speaker 2: get it as it is in the way of understanding
- 1:32Speaker 2: your pitch, volume and tone. But so often we all
- 1:35Speaker 2: have this sound about us where it's the same sound
- 1:40Speaker 2: day in and day out, And you say I'm bored
- 1:44Speaker 2: with life? Well, could it be in the way that
- 1:46Speaker 2: you're speaking. Let's ask a question for you to ask,
- 1:49Speaker 2: ask yourself the questions, and then question the answers. So
- 1:53Speaker 2: the question that came into my heart is based solely
- 1:55Speaker 2: on how can you have a perfectly blue sky with birds?
- 1:59Speaker 2: Seeing the temperature is nice and warm. Winter looks like
- 2:02Speaker 2: it could be officially over, but you can't trust it.
- 2:05Speaker 2: But all of this natural beauty is around you, and
- 2:09Speaker 2: yet inside your mind, body, and soul you are cloudy.
- 2:13Speaker 2: It feels like rain. You're cold on the realms of
- 2:18Speaker 2: your reality because you do lack trust, or maybe you
- 2:22Speaker 2: don't have hope or you don't have faith. In the
- 2:24Speaker 2: moment of now I get it. I mean, look at
- 2:27Speaker 2: the way of the world. We've now started a war
- 2:30Speaker 2: with Iran. Oh great, look it's another beginning, which is
- 2:35Speaker 2: what we face every day. So I've been doing a
- 2:37Speaker 2: lot of research on when are we going to call this?
- 2:39Speaker 2: Saying world War three so we can start figuring out
- 2:42Speaker 2: a solution. Well, the real question is is that when
- 2:46Speaker 2: are you going to face your own battles? When are
- 2:47Speaker 2: you gonna face your own war? You know, we sit
- 2:50Speaker 2: there and we tend to run around and try to
- 2:53Speaker 2: convince ourselves that there is peace in the streets and
- 2:55Speaker 2: peace in your soul, when in fact, there's a battle
- 2:58Speaker 2: that's going on that you've been facing every day for
- 3:01Speaker 2: how many years? You can tell me? I can hear you.
- 3:04Speaker 2: Nobody else is going to hear it, but you've been
- 3:06Speaker 2: facing these personal battles for how long. See, I'm a
- 3:10Speaker 2: daily writer of thirty two years. I've been doing the
- 3:13Speaker 2: vocal defragging as well as defragging since twenty seventeen. It's
- 3:18Speaker 2: a lot of ink on a page. Will anybody ever
- 3:21Speaker 2: go back and read that? Every once in a while,
- 3:25Speaker 2: I will as a study tool as a reason to
- 3:29Speaker 2: find out how am I going to make it through
- 3:32Speaker 2: this season? Yeah, we're worried about the world. We're worried
- 3:36Speaker 2: about those Epstein files. We're worried about if you're going
- 3:39Speaker 2: to have enough money to pay the bills this weekend.
- 3:42Speaker 2: But there's a deeper war inside your mind, body, and soul.
- 3:45Speaker 2: But are you willing to face that war and create
- 3:48Speaker 2: a solution? And what would that solution be? Well? See,
- 3:50Speaker 2: that's why you've got to ask yourself the questions and
- 3:53Speaker 2: question the answers, because you know your triggers. Every day
- 3:58Speaker 2: I come into this forest and I go up what's
- 4:00Speaker 2: called Heartbreak Hill, which I'm going up right now, and
- 4:03Speaker 2: you can hear how the air is being stolen from
- 4:07Speaker 2: my lungs. But do I stop? Do I bitch? I moan?
- 4:12Speaker 2: Do I complain? Am I going to sit here and
- 4:14Speaker 2: say I can't do it? My legs and my feet
- 4:17Speaker 2: hurt too badly. I'm out here every day. I can't
- 4:21Speaker 2: handle what this mountain or this hill is doing. And
- 4:24Speaker 2: then you pull the lins back and you realize that
- 4:27Speaker 2: a place like Heartbreak Hill isn't a mountain. It's not
- 4:32Speaker 2: even looked upon as being a jah I can't take hill,
- 4:35Speaker 2: but it's got the strength to make sure that you
- 4:39Speaker 2: have less air inside your lungs. See, that's where you
- 4:43Speaker 2: ask the questions and question the answers, those things that
- 4:47Speaker 2: steal the air from your lungs, that rob the beats
- 4:51Speaker 2: from your heart, that take from your body, the veins
- 4:56Speaker 2: of gold that could give you yet another brilliant idea.
- 5:01Speaker 2: But something is standing in your way. Is it a
- 5:05Speaker 2: day out with the friends, the family? You put in
- 5:08Speaker 2: family way ahead of your personal need. Well, here's the thing.
- 5:12Speaker 2: It is not conceited or self confident to say this,
- 5:15Speaker 2: but rather an openness of reality. Before you can have
- 5:20Speaker 2: that relationship with your family, friends, co workers, and whoever
- 5:24Speaker 2: else wants to jump onto your ship, you gotta know
- 5:28Speaker 2: you you can't be the candy coat of plastic bathroom
- 5:31Speaker 2: mere smile, And I expect to know what a real
- 5:33Speaker 2: smile is. You have no idea. How many times people
- 5:37Speaker 2: accuse me of having a fake laugh? Is it? Yeah? Yeah,
- 5:42Speaker 2: it is because I've been trained to be that way
- 5:44Speaker 2: forty six years of radio podcasting, constantly surrounded with people,
- 5:49Speaker 2: with my other essential job, always having to be upbeat.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Don't even bring in something that's too heavy to carry.
- 5:55Speaker 2: Now go home and write about what being fake? You
- 6:01Speaker 2: think I'm the only one that's fake, the candy coat
- 6:04Speaker 2: of plastic bathroom mere smile? What are you putting in
- 6:08Speaker 2: your day that you're expecting somebody else to erase when
- 6:12Speaker 2: in reality your answer is in that self called you.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Oh god, oh, the finger went right directly at you.
- 6:19Speaker 2: How are you going to get yourself out of this one? Now?
- 6:22Speaker 2: It's another job? How do I take care of me?
- 6:25Speaker 2: A baby breath out of time? Yeah, that's it, just
- 6:28Speaker 2: a baby breath out of time. Ask yourself the questions,
- 6:32Speaker 2: question the answers. You can write it down. I know
- 6:34Speaker 2: you got this fear that if you write it down,
- 6:36Speaker 2: somebody's gonna read it. I don't really care. I really
- 6:38Speaker 2: don't care if somebody picks up my journals, rips them apart,
- 6:41Speaker 2: and starts judging me. You didn't live it. You weren't
- 6:43Speaker 2: wearing my shoes, you don't carry in my blood. You
- 6:46Speaker 2: don't see what I see through my eyes, and you're
- 6:48Speaker 2: sure in the hell don't hear the voices that are
- 6:50Speaker 2: in my head. So you read all you want and
- 6:53Speaker 2: get what you want. You see what I mean. That's
- 6:55Speaker 2: not confidence, that's courage. That's an opportunity to get to
- 6:59Speaker 2: know the better you without having to waste your time
- 7:04Speaker 2: on other people trying to tell you who you think
- 7:08Speaker 2: you are, when in reality you already know who you are,
- 7:12Speaker 2: so get the job done. Ask yourself the questions and
- 7:17Speaker 2: question the answers. I'm arro and that's vocal, D frag
