1 00:00:03,350 --> 00:00:01,589 i know that that means 2 00:00:04,789 --> 00:00:03,360 that you're bullshitting ain't no 3 00:00:06,230 --> 00:00:04,799 of me 4 00:00:08,310 --> 00:00:06,240 i tell you what if you lying with her 5 00:00:10,310 --> 00:00:08,320 don't lie to it but i don't i don't lie 6 00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:10,320 sounds like some to me everyone 7 00:00:14,230 --> 00:00:12,400 sees right through you okay how about we 8 00:00:15,669 --> 00:00:14,240 if we go by your theory about the voice 9 00:00:17,910 --> 00:00:15,679 thing i think the word i think we're all 10 00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:17,920 getting off track he's lied four times 11 00:00:21,109 --> 00:00:19,520 that's kevin hart from the movie night 12 00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:21,119 school talking about the law of 13 00:00:25,349 --> 00:00:23,920 attraction and the deep spirituality of 14 00:00:27,429 --> 00:00:25,359 truth 15 00:00:29,509 --> 00:00:27,439 well maybe that's not what he's talking 16 00:00:31,509 --> 00:00:29,519 about but maybe it is what he's really 17 00:00:34,069 --> 00:00:31,519 talking about at least that would be the 18 00:00:37,110 --> 00:00:34,079 opinion of today's returning guest tim 19 00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:37,120 grimes and my opinion as well tim is 20 00:00:42,069 --> 00:00:39,360 absolutely one of my favorite deep 21 00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:42,079 thinkers spiritual guys and his books 22 00:00:48,950 --> 00:00:45,760 like the joy of not thinking and wild 23 00:00:50,869 --> 00:00:48,960 calm are definitely must reads but one 24 00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:50,879 of the other reasons i wanted to have 25 00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:54,800 tim back on skeptico was to tie together 26 00:00:59,110 --> 00:00:56,160 what you've heard from some of our 27 00:01:01,990 --> 00:00:59,120 former guests like dr doug matsky in his 28 00:01:04,469 --> 00:01:02,000 book deep reality and with resverk in 29 00:01:07,190 --> 00:01:04,479 his book the simulated multiverse and 30 00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:07,200 that is that this law of attraction 31 00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:08,240 stuff 32 00:01:13,190 --> 00:01:11,360 turns out to be fundamental physics 33 00:01:15,990 --> 00:01:13,200 turns out to be fundamental to the 34 00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:16,000 nature of consciousness in a way that we 35 00:01:22,070 --> 00:01:18,560 don't really understand so this was a 36 00:01:24,789 --> 00:01:22,080 super fun conversation for me because 37 00:01:27,429 --> 00:01:24,799 this is really where i live this is the 38 00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:27,439 stuff that is most important to me so it 39 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:30,079 was really cool to do a connect the dots 40 00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:32,320 kind of show with tim 41 00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:34,960 here are some clips 42 00:01:39,510 --> 00:01:37,520 reality is hypnotic 43 00:01:40,950 --> 00:01:39,520 tell folks what you mean because you're 44 00:01:48,950 --> 00:01:40,960 serious 45 00:01:51,749 --> 00:01:48,960 and i also have a whole video series 46 00:01:53,350 --> 00:01:51,759 called stop being serious so you gotta 47 00:01:56,870 --> 00:01:53,360 put all that together 48 00:01:58,469 --> 00:01:56,880 we suggest things to ourself constantly 49 00:02:00,230 --> 00:01:58,479 we don't have a choice in the matter 50 00:02:01,350 --> 00:02:00,240 we're always suggesting things to 51 00:02:03,749 --> 00:02:01,360 ourselves 52 00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:03,759 and whatever we suggest and believe is 53 00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:06,240 what then is going to 54 00:02:09,830 --> 00:02:08,000 in some form or the other probably 55 00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:09,840 happen in our life so in other words 56 00:02:13,430 --> 00:02:12,160 that what we choose to believe 57 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:13,440 has a direct 58 00:02:18,949 --> 00:02:16,560 effect on what happens in our life 59 00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:18,959 you are not hypnotized by somebody else 60 00:02:24,070 --> 00:02:20,840 you hypnotize 61 00:02:27,750 --> 00:02:24,080 yourself if you want to really get 62 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:27,760 deep about it and really contemplate it 63 00:02:32,550 --> 00:02:30,160 the source or god or whatever you want 64 00:02:34,830 --> 00:02:32,560 to call it that deep spiritual nature 65 00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:34,840 thing like that direct 66 00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:37,680 connection has absolutely nothing to do 67 00:02:42,710 --> 00:02:40,000 with what you're doing in your life 68 00:02:45,030 --> 00:02:42,720 your direct connection to god has 69 00:02:46,470 --> 00:02:45,040 nothing to do with what you're doing in 70 00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,480 your life 71 00:02:50,229 --> 00:02:48,959 oh my 72 00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,239 i hope you like this interview that's 73 00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:52,560 coming up with tim grimes if you like it 74 00:02:57,270 --> 00:02:55,360 share it tell other people let's keep it 75 00:02:59,509 --> 00:02:57,280 a secret among all the people we care 76 00:03:01,430 --> 00:02:59,519 about and we think need to be involved 77 00:03:04,470 --> 00:03:01,440 in this conversation 78 00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:04,480 this is on the ultimate next level third 79 00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:07,920 level level three conversation isn't it 80 00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:09,599 where else are you gonna connect ai 81 00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:12,080 source physics with deep spirituality 82 00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:14,480 and your connection to god 83 00:03:18,070 --> 00:03:16,400 hopefully we're gonna do it on skeptica 84 00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:18,080 we're gonna do it you're going to do it 85 00:03:22,390 --> 00:03:20,720 along with me but you got to jump in 86 00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:22,400 and join the community here's my 87 00:03:26,550 --> 00:03:24,799 interview with tim grimes 88 00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:26,560 welcome to skeptico where we explore 89 00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:28,879 controversial science and spirituality 90 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:31,280 with leading researchers thinkers and 91 00:03:36,630 --> 00:03:33,760 their critics i'm your host alex accaris 92 00:03:38,149 --> 00:03:36,640 and today we welcome tim grimes back to 93 00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:38,159 skeptico 94 00:03:42,949 --> 00:03:41,280 tim is the author of the joy of not 95 00:03:46,949 --> 00:03:42,959 thinking one of my favorite books that 96 00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:46,959 we talked about last time also wild calm 97 00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:49,519 a direct approach to happiness and a 98 00:03:55,830 --> 00:03:51,519 bunch of other books that you can see on 99 00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,840 his amazon page quite a prolific author 100 00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:57,200 tim is 101 00:04:01,750 --> 00:04:00,239 he also has a new podcast very exciting 102 00:04:04,949 --> 00:04:01,760 we're going to want to talk about how we 103 00:04:07,670 --> 00:04:04,959 got into podcasting it's called the law 104 00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:07,680 of attraction explored 105 00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:10,640 i find as you would hear from the last 106 00:04:18,629 --> 00:04:14,480 episode i did i find this guy's work to 107 00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:18,639 be incredibly powerful deeply spiritual 108 00:04:21,590 --> 00:04:19,680 and 109 00:04:23,430 --> 00:04:21,600 even though he never talks about 110 00:04:25,590 --> 00:04:23,440 anything like 111 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:25,600 consciousness or extended consciousness 112 00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:28,720 or a lot of the stuff we talk about here 113 00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:31,840 it to me connects a lot of the dots to 114 00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:34,479 the deeper questions were 115 00:04:40,710 --> 00:04:38,400 occupied here on with skeptico so 116 00:04:42,629 --> 00:04:40,720 i'm excited to have him back and i 117 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:42,639 warned him in advance 118 00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:44,880 i'm gonna probably try and pull him into 119 00:04:48,950 --> 00:04:47,280 some of these deeper skeptical waters 120 00:04:50,150 --> 00:04:48,960 because we can't just do a repeat of 121 00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:50,160 last show 122 00:04:54,390 --> 00:04:52,880 but he responded exactly the way i would 123 00:04:57,030 --> 00:04:54,400 think he'd say yeah i'll talk about 124 00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:57,040 anything i sent him to serve by my wild 125 00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:58,960 survey that throws people off he was 126 00:05:03,430 --> 00:05:01,199 down with it answered everything exactly 127 00:05:05,029 --> 00:05:03,440 what i would expect tim it's just so 128 00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:05,039 exciting to have you back thanks so much 129 00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,240 for joining me 130 00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:08,240 thank you alex it's uh great to be back 131 00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:10,320 because i know 132 00:05:13,909 --> 00:05:11,919 it's always open with you you know 133 00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:13,919 that's what i like about talking with 134 00:05:18,550 --> 00:05:16,000 somebody like yourself because it's uh 135 00:05:21,749 --> 00:05:18,560 you never know what to expect because 136 00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:21,759 everything is open so 137 00:05:24,710 --> 00:05:23,360 great okay 138 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:24,720 i'll point out too i mean we're gonna 139 00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:26,639 get into the consciousness stuff 140 00:05:30,710 --> 00:05:28,080 i'm sure 141 00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:33,270 but what i do i mean i 142 00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:35,280 i find it hilarious that i'm even 143 00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:38,240 regarded really as a law of attraction 144 00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:44,629 i think i come at these ideas of 145 00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:46,479 consciousness and how we can explore it 146 00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:47,919 from i guess you would say a spiritual 147 00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:49,440 perspective but 148 00:05:53,510 --> 00:05:50,639 how i've ended up with the law of 149 00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:53,520 attraction thing is interesting to me is 150 00:05:56,230 --> 00:05:55,280 probably as interesting as this to you 151 00:05:57,590 --> 00:05:56,240 because 152 00:06:00,390 --> 00:05:57,600 really i'm 153 00:06:02,469 --> 00:06:00,400 into the same things i think that 154 00:06:04,309 --> 00:06:02,479 you and a lot of your listeners are into 155 00:06:05,670 --> 00:06:04,319 and that i think a lot of law of 156 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:05,680 attraction people are into it's just we 157 00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:07,440 have a hard time 158 00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:09,520 putting it all together so 159 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:11,199 um 160 00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:12,080 yeah 161 00:06:15,110 --> 00:06:13,520 just looking forward to our talk is what 162 00:06:17,590 --> 00:06:15,120 it comes down to i guess 163 00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:17,600 you know i i wasn't going to go there 164 00:06:21,189 --> 00:06:19,440 right off the bat but maybe i will 165 00:06:23,510 --> 00:06:21,199 because 166 00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:23,520 you just brought it up in kind of a 167 00:06:27,029 --> 00:06:24,960 really interesting way that i wanted to 168 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:27,039 explore exactly to your point if we can 169 00:06:31,029 --> 00:06:29,440 get there in a way 170 00:06:33,189 --> 00:06:31,039 just interviewed a guy 171 00:06:35,749 --> 00:06:33,199 resverk he's got a book called the 172 00:06:37,110 --> 00:06:35,759 simulated multiverse there's a book 173 00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:37,120 before that 174 00:06:41,590 --> 00:06:38,960 about the simulation theory and stuff 175 00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:41,600 like that also interviewed a guy dr doug 176 00:06:47,670 --> 00:06:44,639 matzke his book deep reality i mean both 177 00:06:50,390 --> 00:06:47,680 these guys are like super duper smart 178 00:06:51,350 --> 00:06:50,400 dug phd in quantum computing 179 00:06:52,790 --> 00:06:51,360 you know 180 00:06:54,390 --> 00:06:52,800 connected with all these super smart 181 00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:54,400 guys resverk 182 00:06:59,909 --> 00:06:57,520 super smart guy super successful guy mit 183 00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:59,919 computer scientist started the mit game 184 00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:00,960 labs 185 00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:03,520 i mean we're talking about law of 186 00:07:09,350 --> 00:07:06,080 attraction with these guys i mean doug 187 00:07:12,710 --> 00:07:09,360 is directly doug matzke phd quantum 188 00:07:15,670 --> 00:07:12,720 computing his whole book which is you 189 00:07:18,629 --> 00:07:15,680 know filled with like 190 00:07:20,550 --> 00:07:18,639 this mathematics and computational stuff 191 00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:20,560 that i i kind of understand i don't want 192 00:07:24,629 --> 00:07:22,400 to play up too much because i was in the 193 00:07:26,790 --> 00:07:24,639 phd program for artificial intelligence 194 00:07:29,029 --> 00:07:26,800 at university arizona but 195 00:07:30,790 --> 00:07:29,039 i mean this guy is that both these guys 196 00:07:32,710 --> 00:07:30,800 are at a much much better level than 197 00:07:34,629 --> 00:07:32,720 deeper level smarter level than i am 198 00:07:36,870 --> 00:07:34,639 they're talking about law of attraction 199 00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:36,880 doug is talking directly about law of 200 00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:39,599 attraction he's saying at a physics 201 00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:41,759 level of the universe 202 00:07:46,150 --> 00:07:43,440 hey sorry 203 00:07:47,990 --> 00:07:46,160 sorry to tell you that's how it works 204 00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:48,000 that's how quantum come and then bruce 205 00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:50,000 work is saying quantum computers 206 00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:52,400 essentially he he doesn't use law of 207 00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:54,160 attraction but he says the same thing 208 00:07:57,990 --> 00:07:55,599 simulated multiverse you're in these 209 00:08:00,629 --> 00:07:58,000 multiple timelines you're creating what 210 00:08:03,270 --> 00:08:00,639 happens isn't it really like the matrix 211 00:08:05,029 --> 00:08:03,280 movie you know so 212 00:08:06,710 --> 00:08:05,039 i think there are that's one of the 213 00:08:08,950 --> 00:08:06,720 things i guess would be kind of the 214 00:08:10,309 --> 00:08:08,960 reoccurring theme of this talk we'd have 215 00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:10,319 is 216 00:08:18,309 --> 00:08:15,120 terms of trying to connect 217 00:08:19,830 --> 00:08:18,319 law of attraction to deep spirituality 218 00:08:20,950 --> 00:08:19,840 in a way that a lot of people don't 219 00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:20,960 because a lot of people think law of 220 00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:23,280 attraction is scotch taping a picture of 221 00:08:27,029 --> 00:08:25,360 a land rover on your refrigerator and 222 00:08:29,350 --> 00:08:27,039 you're saying wait a minute it's more 223 00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:29,360 than that and then i also want to jump 224 00:08:33,750 --> 00:08:31,120 off in this other direction saying what 225 00:08:35,350 --> 00:08:33,760 if it's fundamentally true at some level 226 00:08:38,550 --> 00:08:35,360 that we don't even think about like some 227 00:08:40,550 --> 00:08:38,560 freaking physics level you know so i 228 00:08:41,509 --> 00:08:40,560 kind of laid out the whole world there 229 00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:41,519 but 230 00:08:46,150 --> 00:08:43,360 that's where i want to go with this what 231 00:08:51,670 --> 00:08:49,269 yeah i mean you just touched upon 232 00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:51,680 what i find so interesting about so many 233 00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:53,360 of these topics 234 00:08:57,670 --> 00:08:55,279 as i said i come at the law of 235 00:09:00,070 --> 00:08:57,680 attraction from probably 236 00:09:02,470 --> 00:09:00,080 more of like a spiritual angle almost 237 00:09:04,790 --> 00:09:02,480 like a zen non-dual angle compared to 238 00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:04,800 most people and i don't pretend to 239 00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:07,279 understand the quantum stuff i i don't i 240 00:09:10,310 --> 00:09:08,880 just don't understand the science it's 241 00:09:12,550 --> 00:09:10,320 not my background 242 00:09:13,990 --> 00:09:12,560 but the the little that i do think i 243 00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:14,000 kind of grasp 244 00:09:18,870 --> 00:09:17,279 i in the best teachings 245 00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:18,880 in the law of attraction world that 246 00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:20,640 really deal with it intelligently which 247 00:09:25,430 --> 00:09:23,519 is few quite frankly because people 248 00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:25,440 love to toss out the quantum physics 249 00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:27,279 thing with a law of attraction but i 250 00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:28,320 suspect 251 00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:30,000 you know most of the time the law of 252 00:09:34,230 --> 00:09:31,600 attraction teachers discussing it don't 253 00:09:35,990 --> 00:09:34,240 really understand it but 254 00:09:38,710 --> 00:09:36,000 when you do get a sense that they really 255 00:09:40,710 --> 00:09:38,720 do get the quantum physics which i also 256 00:09:43,829 --> 00:09:40,720 do not pretend to understand but again 257 00:09:46,310 --> 00:09:43,839 it's pointing to the same thing and so 258 00:09:47,910 --> 00:09:46,320 what interests me is that there's all 259 00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:47,920 these similarities and these 260 00:09:50,790 --> 00:09:49,440 cross-sections of these different 261 00:09:52,389 --> 00:09:50,800 approaches 262 00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:52,399 that we can utilize and instead of 263 00:09:55,269 --> 00:09:54,000 saying oh this is wrong this is right we 264 00:09:57,350 --> 00:09:55,279 should do it this way we should do it 265 00:09:59,670 --> 00:09:57,360 this way instead of fighting about the 266 00:10:02,389 --> 00:09:59,680 techniques or the approach we can you 267 00:10:03,750 --> 00:10:02,399 know synthesize these different ideas 268 00:10:06,790 --> 00:10:03,760 and hopefully make them work better in 269 00:10:09,430 --> 00:10:06,800 our life and that's ultimately 270 00:10:11,990 --> 00:10:09,440 you know the practical application that 271 00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:12,000 i like working with people on you know 272 00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:14,320 and again my background is more of like 273 00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:17,440 this spiritual take on it but 274 00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:19,600 is it related to this quantum take on it 275 00:10:23,350 --> 00:10:21,360 i i think undoubtedly i think it would 276 00:10:25,350 --> 00:10:23,360 be foolish to say it's not well i think 277 00:10:28,150 --> 00:10:25,360 that's what really comes through in your 278 00:10:30,069 --> 00:10:28,160 work in your uh you know tagline radical 279 00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:30,079 counselor because in addition to writing 280 00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:32,480 these books people do seek you out to 281 00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:33,760 kind of 282 00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:38,160 which i think is terrific i think it's a 283 00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:40,160 great new option when we really think 284 00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:41,120 about 285 00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:43,920 what's out there and how 286 00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:45,360 you know talking to someone who's gone 287 00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:48,399 down a path can really be beneficial and 288 00:10:52,630 --> 00:10:50,160 the books can help but it also helps in 289 00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:52,640 that way too but now you've ventured 290 00:10:57,030 --> 00:10:55,040 into this podcasting thing as well and 291 00:10:59,190 --> 00:10:57,040 the name of it again is law of 292 00:11:01,750 --> 00:10:59,200 attraction explore it and i was just 293 00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:01,760 listening to the latest one the latest 294 00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:04,560 episode and it was fantastic short just 295 00:11:08,630 --> 00:11:05,920 seven eight minutes 296 00:11:11,350 --> 00:11:08,640 but i think it kind of jumps us right 297 00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:11,360 into exactly what you're talking about 298 00:11:16,790 --> 00:11:12,240 because 299 00:11:19,350 --> 00:11:16,800 the theme of it was reality is hypnotic 300 00:11:22,069 --> 00:11:19,360 so maybe you want to just start there 301 00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:22,079 and and tell folks what you mean because 302 00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:23,760 you're serious 303 00:11:27,590 --> 00:11:24,640 yes 304 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:27,600 i'm very serious when i say that 305 00:11:32,310 --> 00:11:29,920 but you're not a serious guy 306 00:11:35,030 --> 00:11:32,320 and i also have a whole video series 307 00:11:36,790 --> 00:11:35,040 called stop being serious so you gotta 308 00:11:38,310 --> 00:11:36,800 put all that together and it can't be an 309 00:11:40,550 --> 00:11:38,320 intellectual fusion it has to be an 310 00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:40,560 experiential fusion uh reality is 311 00:11:44,310 --> 00:11:42,959 hypnotic 312 00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:44,320 so 313 00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:46,000 what is interesting about the law of 314 00:11:50,949 --> 00:11:47,680 attraction when i discuss the law of 315 00:11:53,590 --> 00:11:50,959 attraction i mean really 316 00:11:55,990 --> 00:11:53,600 america has this kind of great history 317 00:11:58,550 --> 00:11:56,000 of kind of like dynamic religious 318 00:12:00,150 --> 00:11:58,560 reinterpretations and emerson and 319 00:12:02,949 --> 00:12:00,160 thoreau were you know doing 320 00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:02,959 transcendentalism and transcendentalism 321 00:12:07,030 --> 00:12:04,959 and this guy named quimby who was out of 322 00:12:09,430 --> 00:12:07,040 maine who was a healer 323 00:12:11,030 --> 00:12:09,440 um inspired from by other previous 324 00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:11,040 hypnotists 325 00:12:15,430 --> 00:12:13,600 they kind of created this 326 00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:15,440 the groundwork for the law of attraction 327 00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:17,760 even though those phrases weren't used 328 00:12:22,310 --> 00:12:18,560 but 329 00:12:24,389 --> 00:12:22,320 a lot of the stuff that i like best 330 00:12:26,629 --> 00:12:24,399 in this you know in in this mode of 331 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:26,639 teaching is just talking talking about 332 00:12:30,150 --> 00:12:28,320 suggestibility 333 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:30,160 and 334 00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:31,440 most of the great law of attraction 335 00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:33,920 teachers i like particularly emile cue 336 00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:35,519 who is my favorite law of attraction 337 00:12:38,710 --> 00:12:37,360 teacher 338 00:12:41,670 --> 00:12:38,720 he basically was just saying that we 339 00:12:43,110 --> 00:12:41,680 hypnotize ourselves we suggest things to 340 00:12:45,269 --> 00:12:43,120 ourself 341 00:12:47,269 --> 00:12:45,279 constantly we don't have a choice in the 342 00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:47,279 matter we're always suggesting things to 343 00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:48,480 ourselves 344 00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:50,880 and whatever we suggest and believe is 345 00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:53,360 what then is going to 346 00:12:56,949 --> 00:12:55,120 in some form or the other probably 347 00:13:00,310 --> 00:12:56,959 happen in our life so in other words 348 00:13:02,069 --> 00:13:00,320 that what we choose to believe 349 00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:02,079 has a direct 350 00:13:06,870 --> 00:13:05,200 effect on what happens in our life 351 00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:06,880 and that is the law of attraction in a 352 00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:09,279 nutshell and that is 353 00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:11,760 how in my opinion most type of hypnotism 354 00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:13,920 really works you are not hypnotized by 355 00:13:19,509 --> 00:13:17,519 somebody else you hypnotize yourself 356 00:13:21,190 --> 00:13:19,519 so let's pick up on that last point 357 00:13:23,750 --> 00:13:21,200 because i didn't think it might be 358 00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:23,760 helpful to take law of attraction out of 359 00:13:27,750 --> 00:13:25,680 that for just a second 360 00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:27,760 because the last point that you landed 361 00:13:33,509 --> 00:13:29,839 on i think 362 00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:33,519 i'd like people to attack that directly 363 00:13:39,189 --> 00:13:36,639 and analyze that and see if that's true 364 00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:39,199 because i think at the end of the day 365 00:13:43,269 --> 00:13:41,680 a rational look at that would lead you 366 00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:43,279 to your conclusion 367 00:13:49,110 --> 00:13:46,480 that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis 368 00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:49,120 and someone can guide us towards 369 00:13:54,389 --> 00:13:51,920 hypnotizing ourself but it really can't 370 00:13:56,550 --> 00:13:54,399 be otherwise it can't if we think of the 371 00:13:59,350 --> 00:13:56,560 nature of consciousness 372 00:14:01,189 --> 00:13:59,360 it is in us and anyone affecting that 373 00:14:02,949 --> 00:14:01,199 from the outside with these words ideas 374 00:14:06,150 --> 00:14:02,959 thoughts is 375 00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:06,160 ultimately directing us towards some 376 00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:08,480 form of self-hypnosis 377 00:14:13,189 --> 00:14:11,040 that's kind of undeniable but you're 378 00:14:15,350 --> 00:14:13,199 pointing it out in a way that we sneaks 379 00:14:18,069 --> 00:14:15,360 up on us we didn't see it and then 380 00:14:20,389 --> 00:14:18,079 you're taking it one step further you go 381 00:14:23,269 --> 00:14:20,399 are you subjecting yourself to a 382 00:14:26,069 --> 00:14:23,279 hypnotic suggestion that oh you'll 383 00:14:28,790 --> 00:14:26,079 never get it all done today or oh god 384 00:14:32,550 --> 00:14:28,800 that son of a i can't believe he did 385 00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:32,560 that or what a beautiful sunset that 386 00:14:37,269 --> 00:14:34,240 couldn't be more incredible and more 387 00:14:39,110 --> 00:14:37,279 inspiring how much do i love 388 00:14:42,150 --> 00:14:39,120 those people around me 389 00:14:45,910 --> 00:14:42,160 how am i what kind of self-suggestive 390 00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:45,920 hypnotic trances are you you know 391 00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:48,800 expound on that i'm sure you thought a 392 00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:50,560 lot about this before you put it out 393 00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:52,560 there because it is a radically simple 394 00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:54,320 idea which is so much what you're all 395 00:14:58,550 --> 00:14:55,680 about 396 00:15:00,230 --> 00:14:58,560 yeah i mean this is the thing 397 00:15:02,230 --> 00:15:00,240 and i hate to do this but i got to bring 398 00:15:04,310 --> 00:15:02,240 it back to the law of attraction 399 00:15:06,710 --> 00:15:04,320 because this is the law of attraction so 400 00:15:08,230 --> 00:15:06,720 let me back up and or go i guess to what 401 00:15:10,150 --> 00:15:08,240 i initially said 402 00:15:11,430 --> 00:15:10,160 when we talk about the law of attraction 403 00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:11,440 when i say i'm a law of attraction 404 00:15:15,590 --> 00:15:13,839 teacher i do not mean the law of 405 00:15:19,189 --> 00:15:15,600 attraction that people are used to 406 00:15:21,829 --> 00:15:19,199 hearing about okay i can use that term 407 00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:21,839 because i use it very irreverently i'm 408 00:15:26,629 --> 00:15:24,720 really talking about some of the great 409 00:15:28,710 --> 00:15:26,639 primarily american 410 00:15:30,550 --> 00:15:28,720 uh but you know international teachers 411 00:15:33,749 --> 00:15:30,560 that sprung out of this transcendental 412 00:15:36,230 --> 00:15:33,759 movement so emile kuwait 413 00:15:38,550 --> 00:15:36,240 this is exactly what he talks about emil 414 00:15:40,310 --> 00:15:38,560 kuwait should you know in a different in 415 00:15:42,230 --> 00:15:40,320 a different world a parallel world would 416 00:15:44,629 --> 00:15:42,240 be more famous than freud and for a 417 00:15:46,550 --> 00:15:44,639 while he was very famous because what he 418 00:15:49,350 --> 00:15:46,560 said and explained 419 00:15:51,509 --> 00:15:49,360 is that i am not hypnotizing you 420 00:15:54,069 --> 00:15:51,519 i am teaching you how to hypnotize 421 00:15:55,350 --> 00:15:54,079 yourself and what makes kuwait so 422 00:15:57,030 --> 00:15:55,360 impressive 423 00:15:58,790 --> 00:15:57,040 is that 424 00:16:01,030 --> 00:15:58,800 he didn't just talk to talk he walked a 425 00:16:03,350 --> 00:16:01,040 walk he people would come 426 00:16:05,829 --> 00:16:03,360 thousands of people literally would come 427 00:16:07,990 --> 00:16:05,839 to see him every year and most of them 428 00:16:10,310 --> 00:16:08,000 or a large percentage of them would walk 429 00:16:11,269 --> 00:16:10,320 away in much better health than they had 430 00:16:13,749 --> 00:16:11,279 before 431 00:16:15,910 --> 00:16:13,759 now most modern spiritual healers or 432 00:16:17,829 --> 00:16:15,920 whatever you want to call it 433 00:16:19,670 --> 00:16:17,839 don't have that kind of success rate and 434 00:16:21,509 --> 00:16:19,680 what's amazing is that kuwait said this 435 00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:21,519 has nothing to do with with religion 436 00:16:26,870 --> 00:16:24,560 this is not even spiritual this is your 437 00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:26,880 psychology you are 438 00:16:29,990 --> 00:16:28,720 suggesting things to yourself and 439 00:16:32,870 --> 00:16:30,000 unfortunately you are probably 440 00:16:35,749 --> 00:16:32,880 suggesting the wrong things to yourself 441 00:16:37,749 --> 00:16:35,759 so that is in my opinion the greatest 442 00:16:40,150 --> 00:16:37,759 law of attraction teaching of you know 443 00:16:41,670 --> 00:16:40,160 the last 100 or so years then you've got 444 00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:41,680 people like joseph murphy who wrote a 445 00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:42,959 very famous book the power of your 446 00:16:49,030 --> 00:16:45,040 subconscious mind 447 00:16:51,030 --> 00:16:49,040 whole book is just about that just about 448 00:16:53,189 --> 00:16:51,040 how we suggest the wrong things to 449 00:16:55,430 --> 00:16:53,199 ourselves to our subconscious and how we 450 00:16:58,069 --> 00:16:55,440 should be suggesting more positive 451 00:16:58,870 --> 00:16:58,079 things to our subconscious and he gives 452 00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:58,880 uh 453 00:17:02,710 --> 00:16:59,920 you know 454 00:17:04,470 --> 00:17:02,720 dozens of different methods to suggest 455 00:17:05,669 --> 00:17:04,480 better things to 456 00:17:07,990 --> 00:17:05,679 ourselves 457 00:17:09,350 --> 00:17:08,000 so that is 458 00:17:10,789 --> 00:17:09,360 when i say law of attraction that's what 459 00:17:12,789 --> 00:17:10,799 i'm talking about i'm not talking about 460 00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:12,799 the secret and crystals and all that 461 00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:14,240 other stuff i don't even know about that 462 00:17:18,069 --> 00:17:16,640 stuff i know there's i know that they're 463 00:17:19,429 --> 00:17:18,079 trying to connect without what i just 464 00:17:21,270 --> 00:17:19,439 referenced but the truth of the matter 465 00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:21,280 is most people these days who are into 466 00:17:23,829 --> 00:17:22,640 the law of attraction never even heard 467 00:17:25,990 --> 00:17:23,839 of kuwait 468 00:17:27,429 --> 00:17:26,000 or or even read the power of your 469 00:17:29,110 --> 00:17:27,439 subconscious mind even though it's one 470 00:17:30,230 --> 00:17:29,120 of the more famous books you know in the 471 00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:30,240 genre 472 00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:32,880 so 473 00:17:37,190 --> 00:17:35,280 this is not a unique idea i have 474 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:37,200 i've already shared all the unique ideas 475 00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:38,880 i have in my opinion the joy of not 476 00:17:43,110 --> 00:17:41,280 thinking stop being serious those ideas 477 00:17:45,590 --> 00:17:43,120 are much more 478 00:17:47,430 --> 00:17:45,600 out there than these ideas these ideas 479 00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:47,440 are just forgotten about 480 00:17:50,710 --> 00:17:49,520 and that's why i'm doing this podcast 481 00:17:51,909 --> 00:17:50,720 because 482 00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:51,919 we're going to actually explore the law 483 00:17:55,430 --> 00:17:53,200 of attraction we're not going to talk 484 00:17:57,909 --> 00:17:55,440 about crystals and you know what your 485 00:17:59,990 --> 00:17:57,919 moon sign is outside and all this other 486 00:18:01,190 --> 00:18:00,000 stuff that's going on outside of you 487 00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:01,200 we're going to talk about what's going 488 00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:03,520 on inside of you 489 00:18:07,350 --> 00:18:05,360 right now what are you suggesting how do 490 00:18:08,950 --> 00:18:07,360 you feel you know and and how can i 491 00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:08,960 suggest and 492 00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:11,360 be more present so i can suggest more 493 00:18:14,789 --> 00:18:13,120 positive things to myself how can i 494 00:18:17,270 --> 00:18:14,799 learn how to do that 495 00:18:19,270 --> 00:18:17,280 yeah i actually think it fits really 496 00:18:20,549 --> 00:18:19,280 nicely with your book the joy of not 497 00:18:22,549 --> 00:18:20,559 thinking which i 498 00:18:24,549 --> 00:18:22,559 i liked so much because again it kind of 499 00:18:25,990 --> 00:18:24,559 radically jumps you outside of this 500 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,000 whole 501 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:28,480 mind mess trap that you get into 502 00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:30,320 i just want to make sure we touch on so 503 00:18:34,230 --> 00:18:32,320 you know in the little survey i sent you 504 00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:34,240 i've tried to get to this point of 505 00:18:37,830 --> 00:18:36,080 consciousness is an illusion to which 506 00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:37,840 you said yes 507 00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:41,200 and to which from a non-dual kind of 508 00:18:48,470 --> 00:18:44,320 yogic way you say yes it's all an 509 00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:48,480 illusion but there is this other 510 00:18:53,110 --> 00:18:50,720 element to it that we're enmeshed in in 511 00:18:55,669 --> 00:18:53,120 this materialistic scientific 512 00:18:57,430 --> 00:18:55,679 scientism culture neuroscience culture 513 00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:57,440 which you are meaningless 514 00:19:01,669 --> 00:18:58,960 you are a biological robot in a 515 00:19:05,510 --> 00:19:01,679 meaningless universe of there is nothing 516 00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:05,520 to that voice inside your head so i i i 517 00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:07,120 think i just want to make sure i mean 518 00:19:10,470 --> 00:19:09,600 we're standing firmly on that ground 519 00:19:12,630 --> 00:19:10,480 that 520 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:12,640 you know the only thing you know for 521 00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:15,600 sure is you're in there you know and 522 00:19:22,070 --> 00:19:19,120 it's not just some biological quirk 523 00:19:23,990 --> 00:19:22,080 that's just churning out all this stuff 524 00:19:25,990 --> 00:19:24,000 in some sense that we can't fully define 525 00:19:28,150 --> 00:19:26,000 there is a you that's in there so the 526 00:19:29,430 --> 00:19:28,160 whole meaningless thing is 527 00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:29,440 let me 528 00:19:32,310 --> 00:19:30,480 give a 529 00:19:34,789 --> 00:19:32,320 do a little side note here i saw the 60 530 00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:34,799 minutes thing a couple years ago 531 00:19:41,110 --> 00:19:35,840 and 532 00:19:42,630 --> 00:19:41,120 one of the researchers said something 533 00:19:46,470 --> 00:19:42,640 where they said we've pre pretty much 534 00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:48,150 and i saw and that was one of the most 535 00:19:52,150 --> 00:19:50,160 offensive statements i'd ever seen in my 536 00:19:53,909 --> 00:19:52,160 life when i heard in my life when i 537 00:19:56,630 --> 00:19:53,919 heard that i said holy these guys 538 00:19:59,190 --> 00:19:56,640 have no idea what they're talking about 539 00:20:01,190 --> 00:19:59,200 and um 540 00:20:02,149 --> 00:20:01,200 meaningless 541 00:20:03,750 --> 00:20:02,159 meaning 542 00:20:06,390 --> 00:20:03,760 is a human 543 00:20:08,149 --> 00:20:06,400 psychological concept right 544 00:20:09,830 --> 00:20:08,159 most 545 00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:09,840 you know i don't mean to bash anybody 546 00:20:13,590 --> 00:20:11,679 but a lot of neuroscientists and people 547 00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:13,600 talking about like you know your life 548 00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:14,720 has meaning or no meaning they don't 549 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:16,559 know what that 550 00:20:21,029 --> 00:20:18,480 experientially 551 00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:21,039 you know if if you talk to people who 552 00:20:24,789 --> 00:20:23,200 seem deeply spiritual or whatever you 553 00:20:26,470 --> 00:20:24,799 want to call it they all will say 554 00:20:28,950 --> 00:20:26,480 there's this 555 00:20:30,549 --> 00:20:28,960 this depth to life and same with a lot 556 00:20:32,549 --> 00:20:30,559 of people who have near-death 557 00:20:34,630 --> 00:20:32,559 experiences as you know there's a 558 00:20:37,350 --> 00:20:34,640 there's something there 559 00:20:38,950 --> 00:20:37,360 that is well beyond our normal 560 00:20:40,310 --> 00:20:38,960 comprehension and i'm not just talking 561 00:20:42,070 --> 00:20:40,320 about like 562 00:20:43,110 --> 00:20:42,080 forget our rational comprehension but 563 00:20:44,789 --> 00:20:43,120 there's just something there that we 564 00:20:47,590 --> 00:20:44,799 can't even begin 565 00:20:49,510 --> 00:20:47,600 to understand and based on what's my own 566 00:20:52,149 --> 00:20:49,520 life i i 567 00:20:54,070 --> 00:20:52,159 firmly believe that what's there is is 568 00:20:56,070 --> 00:20:54,080 good it's not actually not only is it 569 00:20:57,430 --> 00:20:56,080 good it's ineffably good 570 00:20:58,789 --> 00:20:57,440 it's like you know in the bible when 571 00:21:00,789 --> 00:20:58,799 they say the peace the passive 572 00:21:01,750 --> 00:21:00,799 understanding it's got something to do 573 00:21:04,310 --> 00:21:01,760 with that 574 00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:04,320 so meaningless is really 575 00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:06,400 um i like using stark language like that 576 00:21:11,430 --> 00:21:09,440 sometimes but i feel like um 577 00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:11,440 it misses the point when we're having 578 00:21:15,270 --> 00:21:13,360 this kind of a discussion 579 00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:15,280 i agree i think it totally misses the 580 00:21:21,190 --> 00:21:19,039 point i i think whatever would be the 581 00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:21,200 opposite of meaningless right that's 582 00:21:26,630 --> 00:21:24,159 what life is yes yes 583 00:21:27,990 --> 00:21:26,640 you know that what they do there and and 584 00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:28,000 i think there's something very 585 00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:30,480 conspiratorial to this but that's kind 586 00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:33,200 of another show for another time but i 587 00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:34,000 think 588 00:21:37,990 --> 00:21:36,480 you know if you want to control somebody 589 00:21:40,149 --> 00:21:38,000 convince them that their life is 590 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:40,159 meaningless makes them a lot lot easier 591 00:21:44,470 --> 00:21:42,960 to control but to suggest the 592 00:21:46,230 --> 00:21:44,480 what they do is kind of a little logic 593 00:21:48,230 --> 00:21:46,240 trick well the mean the universe is 594 00:21:50,470 --> 00:21:48,240 meaningless right we've looked out in 595 00:21:52,149 --> 00:21:50,480 the stars and there's no meaning and 596 00:21:53,510 --> 00:21:52,159 these planets are just doing their thing 597 00:21:55,909 --> 00:21:53,520 and these stars are just doing their 598 00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:55,919 thing so if there is no meaning in the 599 00:22:01,110 --> 00:21:58,960 universe then tim there can't possibly 600 00:22:04,470 --> 00:22:01,120 be any meaning in your tiny little 601 00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:04,480 minuscule unimportant life 602 00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:05,760 and that's the mind trick that they're 603 00:22:09,350 --> 00:22:08,159 playing and you are like way past that 604 00:22:11,510 --> 00:22:09,360 so 605 00:22:14,230 --> 00:22:11,520 i just wanted to make sure we we touched 606 00:22:16,390 --> 00:22:14,240 on that and and did it and now i want to 607 00:22:19,029 --> 00:22:16,400 kind of return if we can to 608 00:22:21,430 --> 00:22:19,039 another angle of the 609 00:22:23,110 --> 00:22:21,440 law of attraction thing that i'm not 610 00:22:24,549 --> 00:22:23,120 sure that that 611 00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:24,559 a lot of people have thought about i'm 612 00:22:28,549 --> 00:22:26,640 not sure that i really got it until just 613 00:22:30,950 --> 00:22:28,559 recently but you know another person 614 00:22:34,149 --> 00:22:30,960 i've interviewed is this 615 00:22:35,830 --> 00:22:34,159 rather amazing person shirley black 616 00:22:38,870 --> 00:22:35,840 she's amazing 617 00:22:41,350 --> 00:22:38,880 in a lot of ways but she did experience 618 00:22:42,789 --> 00:22:41,360 three near-death experiences in her life 619 00:22:44,870 --> 00:22:42,799 and the last one almost killed her 620 00:22:46,549 --> 00:22:44,880 head-on collision with a truck that i 621 00:22:49,430 --> 00:22:46,559 mean should have killed her by all 622 00:22:51,669 --> 00:22:49,440 accounts and stuff like that 623 00:22:53,710 --> 00:22:51,679 but as a result of that 624 00:22:56,470 --> 00:22:53,720 she has these 625 00:22:59,350 --> 00:22:56,480 psychokinetic powers right 626 00:23:01,830 --> 00:22:59,360 so a lot of people hear of psychokinesis 627 00:23:03,909 --> 00:23:01,840 the ability of the mind to control 628 00:23:05,430 --> 00:23:03,919 things you know and they even have 629 00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:05,440 little devices like these little 630 00:23:09,110 --> 00:23:07,360 pinwheels that are sealed up in these 631 00:23:11,270 --> 00:23:09,120 things where they can kind of do 632 00:23:12,870 --> 00:23:11,280 laboratory testing and i would add here 633 00:23:15,510 --> 00:23:12,880 this is what's important about her she's 634 00:23:17,190 --> 00:23:15,520 been tested at duke she's been tested at 635 00:23:18,390 --> 00:23:17,200 the university of virginia a lot of 636 00:23:20,549 --> 00:23:18,400 people don't know that they hear 637 00:23:22,950 --> 00:23:20,559 psychokinesis and they go oh yeah 638 00:23:24,549 --> 00:23:22,960 no man this is stuff that they've taken 639 00:23:26,310 --> 00:23:24,559 into the lab because of course you would 640 00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:26,320 it's an interesting phenomenon you want 641 00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:27,600 to know if it's true if it's real if 642 00:23:32,870 --> 00:23:30,720 it's replicatable it is 643 00:23:35,590 --> 00:23:32,880 that kind of in a way that we don't 644 00:23:37,430 --> 00:23:35,600 generally talk about really puts 645 00:23:39,110 --> 00:23:37,440 an end to the debate about law of 646 00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:39,120 attraction right 647 00:23:47,750 --> 00:23:42,640 into it i mean there is experimental 648 00:23:51,190 --> 00:23:47,760 proof scientific proof that your mind is 649 00:23:52,310 --> 00:23:51,200 exerting some force on the external if 650 00:23:53,990 --> 00:23:52,320 you will we don't even know what 651 00:23:56,870 --> 00:23:54,000 external internal mean really means 652 00:23:59,590 --> 00:23:56,880 right but it's there so 653 00:24:01,830 --> 00:23:59,600 i just want to throw that out there and 654 00:24:04,630 --> 00:24:01,840 uh just see if you had any thoughts or 655 00:24:06,470 --> 00:24:04,640 comments on that well yeah i mean i 656 00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:06,480 don't i don't know her i'm gonna have to 657 00:24:09,830 --> 00:24:08,400 check out that episode now three 658 00:24:12,230 --> 00:24:09,840 near-death experiences talk about 659 00:24:14,789 --> 00:24:12,240 manifesting some something to get to 660 00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:14,799 that point where you have three holy cow 661 00:24:18,310 --> 00:24:16,080 um 662 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:18,320 yeah i mean that's 663 00:24:22,390 --> 00:24:19,919 one wonderful thing about the law of 664 00:24:24,230 --> 00:24:22,400 attraction becoming so popular 665 00:24:26,310 --> 00:24:24,240 and i think why i latched on to that 666 00:24:28,390 --> 00:24:26,320 term as opposed to some of the other 667 00:24:30,230 --> 00:24:28,400 terms i perhaps could have you know for 668 00:24:31,669 --> 00:24:30,240 instance called this my new podcast i 669 00:24:33,669 --> 00:24:31,679 could have called it something about 670 00:24:35,909 --> 00:24:33,679 suggestibility or something like that or 671 00:24:36,950 --> 00:24:35,919 self-hypnosis or something but one 672 00:24:38,789 --> 00:24:36,960 wonderful thing about the law of 673 00:24:41,269 --> 00:24:38,799 attraction being so popular in our 674 00:24:43,510 --> 00:24:41,279 culture is that i do feel like more and 675 00:24:45,110 --> 00:24:43,520 more people are recognizing 676 00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:45,120 like this is not 677 00:24:48,710 --> 00:24:46,720 even though there's a lot of hocus hocus 678 00:24:50,470 --> 00:24:48,720 pocus stuff or whatever 679 00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:50,480 there's some there's something here that 680 00:24:55,510 --> 00:24:52,960 we can't turn back from like 681 00:24:57,430 --> 00:24:55,520 the fat like thought and external 682 00:24:59,510 --> 00:24:57,440 reality are two inner lengths like we 683 00:25:01,909 --> 00:24:59,520 were touching upon to just deny it 684 00:25:03,590 --> 00:25:01,919 anymore you know and there's there's 685 00:25:04,789 --> 00:25:03,600 been too many studies there's been too 686 00:25:09,110 --> 00:25:04,799 many 687 00:25:11,110 --> 00:25:09,120 just examples to just deny that 688 00:25:14,230 --> 00:25:11,120 it's real the law whatever you want to 689 00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:14,240 call it there's this you know thought 690 00:25:17,110 --> 00:25:15,440 you know they said thoughts create 691 00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:17,120 reality right that might sound kind of 692 00:25:22,549 --> 00:25:19,840 simplistic but without question our 693 00:25:25,269 --> 00:25:22,559 thinking our imagination 694 00:25:27,029 --> 00:25:25,279 shapes our lives you know and 695 00:25:28,390 --> 00:25:27,039 you know you use the word common sense i 696 00:25:30,549 --> 00:25:28,400 use the word common sense all the time 697 00:25:32,789 --> 00:25:30,559 there's this common sense element about 698 00:25:34,390 --> 00:25:32,799 this once you wrap your head around some 699 00:25:37,909 --> 00:25:34,400 that hopefully more and more people will 700 00:25:40,230 --> 00:25:37,919 recognize you know this is not like 701 00:25:42,470 --> 00:25:40,240 necessarily far out stuff this is far 702 00:25:45,830 --> 00:25:42,480 out stuff in the sense that 703 00:25:47,350 --> 00:25:45,840 you control and are your own master a 704 00:25:49,269 --> 00:25:47,360 lot more than you might have expected 705 00:25:51,269 --> 00:25:49,279 but that's what's far out the fact is 706 00:25:53,110 --> 00:25:51,279 you can do something about yours about 707 00:25:55,029 --> 00:25:53,120 improving your life that's 708 00:25:57,510 --> 00:25:55,039 what's so cool you know and i mean it's 709 00:25:58,630 --> 00:25:57,520 really should be used a lot of time 710 00:26:01,750 --> 00:25:58,640 on a very 711 00:26:04,549 --> 00:26:01,760 practical basis and that's again what 712 00:26:07,590 --> 00:26:04,559 this is all about in many ways 713 00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:07,600 okay let's talk a little bit about maybe 714 00:26:11,909 --> 00:26:09,679 you could call it the dark side of the 715 00:26:15,830 --> 00:26:11,919 law of attraction sure there's plenty of 716 00:26:20,149 --> 00:26:17,830 you know i i appreciate it in your 717 00:26:21,350 -->

--> 00:27:48,159 it inspired a lot of good business books 757 00:27:57,590 --> 00:27:55,029 back i think in 2016 2017 this guy named 758 00:27:58,950 --> 00:27:57,600 matt novak wrote this incredible article 759 00:28:01,029 --> 00:27:58,960 in gizmodo 760 00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:01,039 alex you can maybe link to that the 761 00:28:05,350 --> 00:28:03,600 article and basically 762 00:28:07,350 --> 00:28:05,360 the author had spent 763 00:28:08,950 --> 00:28:07,360 a couple of years trying to track down 764 00:28:11,510 --> 00:28:08,960 napoleon hill's 765 00:28:13,669 --> 00:28:11,520 history his real history 766 00:28:14,389 --> 00:28:13,679 and it just turns out that 767 00:28:16,310 --> 00:28:14,399 one 768 00:28:17,510 --> 00:28:16,320 i say he's a charlatan i mean napoleon 769 00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:17,520 hill 770 00:28:21,190 --> 00:28:18,880 think and grow rich is all about how he 771 00:28:24,230 --> 00:28:21,200 met all these famous incredibly famous 772 00:28:25,110 --> 00:28:24,240 people presidents people like edison 773 00:28:27,990 --> 00:28:25,120 uh 774 00:28:29,750 --> 00:28:28,000 you know all these steel magnets 775 00:28:32,149 --> 00:28:29,760 carnegie 776 00:28:34,389 --> 00:28:32,159 he just made all that up 777 00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:34,399 it's all made up and not only the only 778 00:28:38,549 --> 00:28:36,000 guy he met the only guy he met was 779 00:28:40,149 --> 00:28:38,559 edison and he met him at a photo he met 780 00:28:41,590 --> 00:28:40,159 him 781 00:28:44,950 --> 00:28:41,600 exactly 782 00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:44,960 so if just that alone is crazy i mean it 783 00:28:49,750 --> 00:28:47,840 makes him he's genuinely just like 784 00:28:51,350 --> 00:28:49,760 you know he just made all that up right 785 00:28:53,029 --> 00:28:51,360 and that's what people say just 786 00:28:55,350 --> 00:28:53,039 to this day people like oh you know hill 787 00:28:57,510 --> 00:28:55,360 met all these people profile it's all 788 00:28:59,110 --> 00:28:57,520 just made up but the if you read this 789 00:29:01,590 --> 00:28:59,120 article it's just a great article 790 00:29:04,149 --> 00:29:01,600 investigative article 791 00:29:04,950 --> 00:29:04,159 napoleon hill was just a criminal 792 00:29:06,870 --> 00:29:04,960 now 793 00:29:09,350 --> 00:29:06,880 committed numerous criminal acts 794 00:29:11,590 --> 00:29:09,360 throughout his life um and i don't want 795 00:29:12,789 --> 00:29:11,600 to even go into it i mean i started i 796 00:29:14,389 --> 00:29:12,799 knew i know you wanted to talk about 797 00:29:15,990 --> 00:29:14,399 this so i started rereading the article 798 00:29:17,190 --> 00:29:16,000 and i got like a third of the way 799 00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:17,200 through i'm like i didn't want to read 800 00:29:20,070 --> 00:29:18,880 this anymore this guy was just an out 801 00:29:21,269 --> 00:29:20,080 and out 802 00:29:22,389 --> 00:29:21,279 uh 803 00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:22,399 scammer 804 00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:27,520 is unfortunately 805 00:29:31,990 --> 00:29:29,279 something but it's still a good book but 806 00:29:33,430 --> 00:29:32,000 it's it's kind of he's a writer he's a 807 00:29:35,510 --> 00:29:33,440 good yeah he's a good writer and he's 808 00:29:38,389 --> 00:29:35,520 got some fantastic ideas which actually 809 00:29:40,149 --> 00:29:38,399 make more sense when you realize he made 810 00:29:42,549 --> 00:29:40,159 most of it up like for instance he has 811 00:29:44,389 --> 00:29:42,559 the invisible council idea where like 812 00:29:45,590 --> 00:29:44,399 you're meeting with all your all the 813 00:29:47,590 --> 00:29:45,600 people you want to meet with in your 814 00:29:48,950 --> 00:29:47,600 mind every night apparently that's how 815 00:29:50,789 --> 00:29:48,960 he really wrote the book right because 816 00:29:53,190 --> 00:29:50,799 none of that's real so he just made it 817 00:29:55,909 --> 00:29:53,200 all up you know and i think as as novak 818 00:29:57,510 --> 00:29:55,919 points out i mean he had another guy who 819 00:30:00,789 --> 00:29:57,520 and you mentioned him in the email too 820 00:30:03,350 --> 00:30:00,799 stone w clement stone yeah who who was 821 00:30:05,269 --> 00:30:03,360 legit and who was legit is a great bet 822 00:30:06,789 --> 00:30:05,279 much better law of attraction teacher or 823 00:30:08,549 --> 00:30:06,799 let's not even use that term now you 824 00:30:09,909 --> 00:30:08,559 don't have to you know i don't think 825 00:30:13,110 --> 00:30:09,919 stone ever used that term law of 826 00:30:15,750 --> 00:30:13,120 attraction w clement stone 827 00:30:17,750 --> 00:30:15,760 is who people think napoleon hill is 828 00:30:20,149 --> 00:30:17,760 this guy lived to be 100 he was born in 829 00:30:22,470 --> 00:30:20,159 1902 he died in 2002 lives to be 100 830 00:30:25,269 --> 00:30:22,480 years old uh 831 00:30:26,870 --> 00:30:25,279 truly a great businessman donated 832 00:30:28,549 --> 00:30:26,880 hundreds of millions of dollars in his 833 00:30:30,630 --> 00:30:28,559 career you know there's a plenty of 834 00:30:32,789 --> 00:30:30,640 stuff in his life that i disagree with 835 00:30:35,190 --> 00:30:32,799 but was he a fantastic 836 00:30:37,669 --> 00:30:35,200 uh proponent and 837 00:30:40,310 --> 00:30:37,679 uh teacher of these principles of of you 838 00:30:42,870 --> 00:30:40,320 know how to live a a truly rich life 839 00:30:45,029 --> 00:30:42,880 absolutely and was napoleon hill that 840 00:30:46,149 --> 00:30:45,039 absolutely not so a big big big 841 00:30:47,510 --> 00:30:46,159 difference that more people should be 842 00:30:49,269 --> 00:30:47,520 aware of 843 00:30:50,950 --> 00:30:49,279 and the reason i guess it i think it 844 00:30:52,310 --> 00:30:50,960 plays into this in a way that i kind of 845 00:30:53,990 --> 00:30:52,320 wanted to talk to you about is i think 846 00:30:55,190 --> 00:30:54,000 the whole cult thing is really 847 00:30:56,630 --> 00:30:55,200 interesting 848 00:30:58,470 --> 00:30:56,640 it's the law of the attraction thing too 849 00:31:00,070 --> 00:30:58,480 i mean just i mean let's we'll 850 00:31:02,389 --> 00:31:00,080 definitely go into sucks but 851 00:31:04,710 --> 00:31:02,399 so unfortunately this hill example is 852 00:31:06,870 --> 00:31:04,720 not uncommon with just what you see with 853 00:31:09,029 --> 00:31:06,880 so much law of attraction stuff where 854 00:31:10,710 --> 00:31:09,039 people follow blindly and just assume 855 00:31:11,509 --> 00:31:10,720 that whatever the teacher is saying is 856 00:31:13,269 --> 00:31:11,519 true 857 00:31:14,870 --> 00:31:13,279 and it's really gullibility and you've 858 00:31:17,110 --> 00:31:14,880 got a lot of teachers who just kind of 859 00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:17,120 string people along and 860 00:31:21,509 --> 00:31:20,320 i don't know i just don't 861 00:31:23,350 --> 00:31:21,519 one reason that people don't like the 862 00:31:24,630 --> 00:31:23,360 law of attraction leaves kind of a 863 00:31:26,389 --> 00:31:24,640 bitter taste in their mouth they're like 864 00:31:28,470 --> 00:31:26,399 that just doesn't seem 865 00:31:29,830 --> 00:31:28,480 plausible but it's not the ideas that 866 00:31:32,549 --> 00:31:29,840 aren't plausible it's how they're 867 00:31:34,789 --> 00:31:32,559 presented in this fantastic 868 00:31:36,070 --> 00:31:34,799 almost absurd and cultish way which you 869 00:31:37,909 --> 00:31:36,080 know is what i think we're going to 870 00:31:41,509 --> 00:31:37,919 touch upon 871 00:31:43,830 --> 00:31:41,519 since you brought it up let's go right 872 00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:43,840 there because there's this other 873 00:31:47,590 --> 00:31:45,360 email 874 00:31:50,070 --> 00:31:47,600 message that i got from you that i just 875 00:31:51,669 --> 00:31:50,080 really really appreciated again it gets 876 00:31:53,430 --> 00:31:51,679 back to this kind of zen and the 877 00:31:55,430 --> 00:31:53,440 non-dual stuff 878 00:31:57,909 --> 00:31:55,440 an open-eyed man 879 00:32:01,669 --> 00:31:57,919 falling into a well 880 00:32:03,430 --> 00:32:01,679 tell us tell us about that 881 00:32:05,029 --> 00:32:03,440 i think that i mean that's a great you 882 00:32:07,750 --> 00:32:05,039 know just zen 883 00:32:09,750 --> 00:32:07,760 uh phrase 884 00:32:12,789 --> 00:32:09,760 but that pertains to i think in general 885 00:32:16,870 --> 00:32:15,190 spiritual practice or just the practice 886 00:32:20,310 --> 00:32:16,880 of doing inner work and watching how 887 00:32:22,230 --> 00:32:20,320 you're feeling where you think that you 888 00:32:24,710 --> 00:32:22,240 are on the right path but then you 889 00:32:27,430 --> 00:32:24,720 really can get shaken up and not know if 890 00:32:29,830 --> 00:32:27,440 you're doing things correctly and 891 00:32:31,830 --> 00:32:29,840 when you get used to 892 00:32:33,430 --> 00:32:31,840 working with yourself you notice 893 00:32:35,509 --> 00:32:33,440 yourself 894 00:32:37,350 --> 00:32:35,519 you become more aware of oh i feel upset 895 00:32:39,110 --> 00:32:37,360 now i feel like i'm overreacting now i 896 00:32:41,350 --> 00:32:39,120 feel like i don't know what's going on 897 00:32:42,789 --> 00:32:41,360 but you can kind of learn how to deal 898 00:32:45,110 --> 00:32:42,799 with that 899 00:32:46,549 --> 00:32:45,120 in a more composed way where you you 900 00:32:48,630 --> 00:32:46,559 know when maybe perhaps when you were 901 00:32:50,230 --> 00:32:48,640 younger you would have gotten upset at 902 00:32:51,830 --> 00:32:50,240 yourself or gotten upset at other people 903 00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:51,840 you can kind of ride the waves more 904 00:32:55,190 --> 00:32:53,279 easily 905 00:32:56,470 --> 00:32:55,200 but what often happens 906 00:32:58,070 --> 00:32:56,480 when we're trying to apply law of 907 00:33:00,070 --> 00:32:58,080 attraction principles into our life or 908 00:33:02,789 --> 00:33:00,080 just spiritual principles into our life 909 00:33:04,710 --> 00:33:02,799 to feel better and be a better person 910 00:33:06,389 --> 00:33:04,720 is we'll be trying to do something and 911 00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:06,399 we'll be trying maybe various techniques 912 00:33:11,110 --> 00:33:08,080 whether it's like meditation or 913 00:33:12,630 --> 00:33:11,120 affirmations or whatever it may be 914 00:33:14,149 --> 00:33:12,640 and we'll we'll think we're kind of 915 00:33:15,269 --> 00:33:14,159 getting somewhere doing something 916 00:33:19,110 --> 00:33:15,279 correctly 917 00:33:22,230 --> 00:33:20,630 we'll realize that we don't really know 918 00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:22,240 what the hell we're doing 919 00:33:27,430 --> 00:33:24,960 and that realization is 920 00:33:28,950 --> 00:33:27,440 a deep realization and kind of makes you 921 00:33:30,310 --> 00:33:28,960 realize that 922 00:33:32,230 --> 00:33:30,320 like 923 00:33:34,789 --> 00:33:32,240 what's going on is deeper than what 924 00:33:36,950 --> 00:33:34,799 we're again aware of rationally and what 925 00:33:38,549 --> 00:33:36,960 we're imagining in our mind it's like 926 00:33:40,789 --> 00:33:38,559 you know when they talk about grace like 927 00:33:42,470 --> 00:33:40,799 spiritual grace like that's like it's 928 00:33:46,549 --> 00:33:42,480 kind of like that and that's very much a 929 00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:48,549 you know you think you know and then you 930 00:33:52,310 --> 00:33:50,000 you know the more you know the more you 931 00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:52,320 realize you don't know anything i think 932 00:33:56,710 --> 00:33:54,480 that's awesome i think it to me it also 933 00:33:59,750 --> 00:33:56,720 relates on this other level that we're 934 00:34:01,350 --> 00:33:59,760 talking about on the napoleon hill 935 00:34:02,630 --> 00:34:01,360 law of attraction 936 00:34:04,870 --> 00:34:02,640 tape your 937 00:34:06,950 --> 00:34:04,880 land rover to your refrigerator so you 938 00:34:09,349 --> 00:34:06,960 can get one in your front yard kind of 939 00:34:11,990 --> 00:34:09,359 thing and the way it relates to me 940 00:34:14,629 --> 00:34:12,000 is kind of this bouncing back and forth 941 00:34:18,149 --> 00:34:14,639 between the spiritual and the 942 00:34:21,750 --> 00:34:18,159 you know more practical kind of world 943 00:34:24,389 --> 00:34:21,760 we all think we've become that open-eyed 944 00:34:26,629 --> 00:34:24,399 monk you know we all think oh wow 945 00:34:28,790 --> 00:34:26,639 now i get it 946 00:34:31,030 --> 00:34:28,800 and then you find yourself in the well 947 00:34:32,069 --> 00:34:31,040 and that's really the point of which you 948 00:34:33,750 --> 00:34:32,079 got to go 949 00:34:35,669 --> 00:34:33,760 you know one you can go oh my god how 950 00:34:37,270 --> 00:34:35,679 did i get in a well everyone has lied to 951 00:34:38,629 --> 00:34:37,280 me otherwise i never would have wound up 952 00:34:41,669 --> 00:34:38,639 in this well 953 00:34:42,389 --> 00:34:41,679 or as you're alluding to you can face 954 00:34:44,470 --> 00:34:42,399 the 955 00:34:46,230 --> 00:34:44,480 ultimate reality that you know what i 956 00:34:47,990 --> 00:34:46,240 better climb out of this well and i 957 00:34:51,030 --> 00:34:48,000 better get used to falling in wells 958 00:34:52,069 --> 00:34:51,040 because no matter how wide open my eyes 959 00:34:53,909 --> 00:34:52,079 are 960 00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:53,919 falling in wells is just kind of part of 961 00:34:59,910 --> 00:34:56,879 the thing i love this line that that is 962 00:35:02,950 --> 00:34:59,920 in that email dispatch that you did 963 00:35:04,310 --> 00:35:02,960 remaining calm and rational which i 964 00:35:05,829 --> 00:35:04,320 think is really kind of an interesting 965 00:35:07,829 --> 00:35:05,839 word to explore 966 00:35:09,589 --> 00:35:07,839 amidst the inner 967 00:35:12,069 --> 00:35:09,599 bafflement and i would add outer 968 00:35:13,190 --> 00:35:12,079 bafflement too but remaining calm and 969 00:35:15,030 --> 00:35:13,200 rational 970 00:35:16,470 --> 00:35:15,040 and 971 00:35:20,150 --> 00:35:16,480 like so much of the stuff we're talking 972 00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:20,160 about here is irrational right because 973 00:35:23,430 --> 00:35:21,680 it isn't the 974 00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:23,440 you're a biological robot in a minus 975 00:35:27,829 --> 00:35:25,680 universe that's rational go talk to neil 976 00:35:30,470 --> 00:35:27,839 degrasse tyson he'll

00:36:00,800 all the time napoleon hill i guarantee 992 00:36:05,430 --> 00:36:03,119 you is i read 993 00:36:08,390 --> 00:36:05,440 actually i read his life story 994 00:36:10,630 --> 00:36:08,400 slightly differently yeah he's a scammer 995 00:36:12,710 --> 00:36:10,640 yeah he's a con artist 996 00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:12,720 but he's also the monk who's falling in 997 00:36:18,550 --> 00:36:15,760 the well you know he he is going 998 00:36:21,190 --> 00:36:18,560 someplace he's just continuing to fall 999 00:36:25,190 --> 00:36:21,200 in this stupid well of being kind of a 1000 00:36:27,190 --> 00:36:25,200 scammer what do you think about all that 1001 00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:27,200 yeah i mean hill 1002 00:36:30,470 --> 00:36:29,280 hill had a lot of troubles i will say 1003 00:36:31,510 --> 00:36:30,480 that 1004 00:36:35,510 --> 00:36:31,520 but 1005 00:36:37,910 --> 00:36:35,520 new book that i released a few months 1006 00:36:39,990 --> 00:36:37,920 ago the law of attraction simplified 1007 00:36:41,990 --> 00:36:40,000 that's what it's about okay the title's 1008 00:36:42,950 --> 00:36:42,000 a little bit misleading because there's 1009 00:36:45,030 --> 00:36:42,960 nothing 1010 00:36:46,870 --> 00:36:45,040 simple about what you just said and 1011 00:36:50,069 --> 00:36:46,880 about the law of attraction in terms of 1012 00:36:51,030 --> 00:36:50,079 actually applying it the process 1013 00:36:51,990 --> 00:36:51,040 is 1014 00:36:55,270 --> 00:36:52,000 you know 1015 00:36:57,589 --> 00:36:55,280 and then falling in the well in the book 1016 00:36:58,550 --> 00:36:57,599 i give the metaphor of you're riding a 1017 00:37:05,990 --> 00:36:58,560 horse 1018 00:37:08,950 --> 00:37:06,000 and it keeps on happening again and 1019 00:37:10,710 --> 00:37:08,960 again and again and it's learning how to 1020 00:37:13,190 --> 00:37:10,720 be okay with that 1021 00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:13,200 realizing that that's just the practical 1022 00:37:17,430 --> 00:37:15,760 process of of living 1023 00:37:19,990 --> 00:37:17,440 you know and 1024 00:37:21,750 --> 00:37:20,000 it is the merging of this experiential 1025 00:37:24,069 --> 00:37:21,760 feeling of 1026 00:37:26,790 --> 00:37:24,079 okay this feels right i know i'm doing 1027 00:37:28,790 --> 00:37:26,800 something right but it's just a feeling 1028 00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:28,800 and this rational all right what's the 1029 00:37:32,870 --> 00:37:30,800 best rational approach i can do now 1030 00:37:34,630 --> 00:37:32,880 knowing what i know about myself how can 1031 00:37:37,430 --> 00:37:34,640 i approach this 1032 00:37:39,270 --> 00:37:37,440 in the best most sound way 1033 00:37:41,349 --> 00:37:39,280 so it's a merging of a lot of different 1034 00:37:43,270 --> 00:37:41,359 things you know and that's why a lot of 1035 00:37:45,190 --> 00:37:43,280 folks say like you know manifesting what 1036 00:37:46,950 --> 00:37:45,200 you want you know it 1037 00:37:49,510 --> 00:37:46,960 it sounds easy 1038 00:37:51,190 --> 00:37:49,520 to do but it's never easy you know and 1039 00:37:52,950 --> 00:37:51,200 it when people say it is easy it 1040 00:37:54,790 --> 00:37:52,960 sometimes i guess can be easy but that's 1041 00:37:57,030 --> 00:37:54,800 not what should be expected and that's a 1042 00:37:59,829 --> 00:37:57,040 big misconception about the whole thing 1043 00:38:03,750 --> 00:37:59,839 i i really like this synthesis that you 1044 00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:03,760 do of the american mystics the american 1045 00:38:07,349 --> 00:38:05,359 spirituality 1046 00:38:08,310 --> 00:38:07,359 even if it's a reinterpretation of the 1047 00:38:10,069 --> 00:38:08,320 east 1048 00:38:12,230 --> 00:38:10,079 in some cases and we're willing to 1049 00:38:14,470 --> 00:38:12,240 acknowledge that that's great but there 1050 00:38:17,430 --> 00:38:14,480 is something american about it 1051 00:38:20,310 --> 00:38:17,440 one of my favorite american yogi's is 1052 00:38:23,430 --> 00:38:20,320 michael singer author of the surrender 1053 00:38:24,710 --> 00:38:23,440 experiment and i i i just a little 1054 00:38:25,910 --> 00:38:24,720 vignette i mean 1055 00:38:26,870 --> 00:38:25,920 so 1056 00:38:28,630 --> 00:38:26,880 singer 1057 00:38:30,790 --> 00:38:28,640 if you if you read him and then if you 1058 00:38:32,550 --> 00:38:30,800 look at those videos he'll he does this 1059 00:38:35,589 --> 00:38:32,560 video series and it's like an eight-hour 1060 00:38:38,310 --> 00:38:35,599 video series and it's all about just 1061 00:38:40,630 --> 00:38:38,320 rational stuff it's like you know 1062 00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:40,640 rational rational rational kind science 1063 00:38:43,990 --> 00:38:42,720 based stuff we live on this tiny little 1064 00:38:45,349 --> 00:38:44,000 planet why do you think you're so 1065 00:38:47,430 --> 00:38:45,359 important you know 1066 00:38:50,150 --> 00:38:47,440 kind of thing which which i like 1067 00:38:51,910 --> 00:38:50,160 and he goes people are always hammering 1068 00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:51,920 me for what's the advice what should i 1069 00:38:55,829 --> 00:38:53,760 do and i'm sure you get this too this is 1070 00:38:57,510 --> 00:38:55,839 all the time what should i do you know 1071 00:38:59,349 --> 00:38:57,520 how should i tape the picture of the 1072 00:39:01,270 --> 00:38:59,359 range rover on you know should i tape it 1073 00:39:02,150 --> 00:39:01,280 this way or that how big you know like 1074 00:39:04,310 --> 00:39:02,160 like 1075 00:39:05,430 --> 00:39:04,320 and and his advice i love this and i say 1076 00:39:07,430 --> 00:39:05,440 this people all the time and they don't 1077 00:39:09,190 --> 00:39:07,440 get is it okay stop complaining about 1078 00:39:16,310 --> 00:39:09,200 the weather 1079 00:39:18,390 --> 00:39:16,320 realize how incredibly narcissistic 1080 00:39:22,950 --> 00:39:18,400 we've all been trained to be 1081 00:39:30,390 --> 00:39:26,950 our planet our sun the forces of wind 1082 00:39:32,310 --> 00:39:30,400 and others should conform to it it's 1083 00:39:33,829 --> 00:39:32,320 kind of a contradiction to the law of 1084 00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:33,839 attraction right 1085 00:39:36,550 --> 00:39:35,760 it's balancing 1086 00:39:40,230 --> 00:39:36,560 this 1087 00:39:41,829 --> 00:39:40,240 rationality and calmness of saying 1088 00:39:44,069 --> 00:39:41,839 i am going to 1089 00:39:46,390 --> 00:39:44,079 i all these worldly possessions i have 1090 00:39:49,829 --> 00:39:46,400 are going to be gone things are not 1091 00:39:52,150 --> 00:39:49,839 going to work out the way that i want 1092 00:39:54,069 --> 00:39:52,160 because even if i think that they are 1093 00:39:55,589 --> 00:39:54,079 kind of i can always think of a bunch of 1094 00:39:57,030 --> 00:39:55,599 examples where they're not my kids 1095 00:39:59,270 --> 00:39:57,040 aren't going to do what they what i want 1096 00:40:01,750 --> 00:39:59,280 them to do maybe something terrible 1097 00:40:03,829 --> 00:40:01,760 happened to them or me or well that's 1098 00:40:06,309 --> 00:40:03,839 throwing a lot of ideas out there but 1099 00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:06,319 how do we balance that 1100 00:40:09,829 --> 00:40:08,000 stop complaining about the weather 1101 00:40:11,109 --> 00:40:09,839 things aren't going to work out the way 1102 00:40:12,150 --> 00:40:11,119 you think 1103 00:40:15,670 --> 00:40:12,160 with 1104 00:40:19,670 --> 00:40:15,680 law of attraction they balance perfectly 1105 00:40:22,470 --> 00:40:19,680 the problem is that people have 1106 00:40:24,790 --> 00:40:22,480 this superficial idea of what 1107 00:40:27,190 --> 00:40:24,800 these law of attraction ideas are you 1108 00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:27,200 know again the term law of attraction we 1109 00:40:31,190 --> 00:40:29,520 could use other terms i can't think of 1110 00:40:33,270 --> 00:40:31,200 a better term to use perhaps it's better 1111 00:40:35,589 --> 00:40:33,280 to see say spiritual term you know i 1112 00:40:37,190 --> 00:40:35,599 don't know it's a spiritual practice i 1113 00:40:39,910 --> 00:40:37,200 will say 1114 00:40:41,910 --> 00:40:39,920 since i got into these ideas 1115 00:40:44,230 --> 00:40:41,920 i've become much less negative 1116 00:40:45,670 --> 00:40:44,240 so you know my backgrounds and that is 1117 00:40:47,910 --> 00:40:45,680 really zen 1118 00:40:49,270 --> 00:40:47,920 which is can be pretty hard ass and 1119 00:40:50,950 --> 00:40:49,280 there's definitely an aspect of me 1120 00:40:52,550 --> 00:40:50,960 that's pretty hard ass when it comes to 1121 00:40:55,270 --> 00:40:52,560 this stuff 1122 00:40:57,910 --> 00:40:57,190 i now expect things to turn out pretty 1123 00:41:00,230 --> 00:40:57,920 well 1124 00:41:02,309 --> 00:41:00,240 most of the time and 1125 00:41:04,710 --> 00:41:02,319 if i'm really 1126 00:41:07,270 --> 00:41:04,720 working on myself 1127 00:41:08,710 --> 00:41:07,280 it does seem like more things turn out 1128 00:41:11,510 --> 00:41:08,720 better 1129 00:41:13,109 --> 00:41:11,520 but inevitably life happens right and 1130 00:41:15,829 --> 00:41:13,119 it's dealing with that there should not 1131 00:41:18,069 --> 00:41:15,839 be a contradiction between 1132 00:41:19,030 --> 00:41:18,079 law of attraction principles 1133 00:41:20,790 --> 00:41:19,040 and 1134 00:41:22,790 --> 00:41:20,800 these other spiritual traditions like 1135 00:41:25,349 --> 00:41:22,800 what singers talking about the you know 1136 00:41:27,270 --> 00:41:25,359 these eastern mystic traditions 1137 00:41:28,790 --> 00:41:27,280 we should be able to put them all 1138 00:41:29,990 --> 00:41:28,800 together and listen everybody's 1139 00:41:31,829 --> 00:41:30,000 different people are going to put them 1140 00:41:33,990 --> 00:41:31,839 together in different ways and some 1141 00:41:35,349 --> 00:41:34,000 people as we were talking about early on 1142 00:41:37,109 --> 00:41:35,359 are going to be doing this in like more 1143 00:41:38,710 --> 00:41:37,119 of a quantum way and some people are 1144 00:41:39,990 --> 00:41:38,720 going to be using 1145 00:41:41,349 --> 00:41:40,000 you know 1146 00:41:43,589 --> 00:41:41,359 they're going to look at it just through 1147 00:41:44,950 --> 00:41:43,599 extra sensory perception or whatever you 1148 00:41:47,910 --> 00:41:44,960 know and some people are going to do it 1149 00:41:50,950 --> 00:41:47,920 in i don't know maybe just a purely like 1150 00:41:52,069 --> 00:41:50,960 spiritual way um 1151 00:41:53,430 --> 00:41:52,079 but it's about putting the stuff 1152 00:41:54,870 --> 00:41:53,440 together and that's again where 1153 00:41:57,829 --> 00:41:54,880 rationality 1154 00:41:59,430 --> 00:41:57,839 plays a part more than i used to think 1155 00:42:01,109 --> 00:41:59,440 you know i mean i 1156 00:42:02,950 --> 00:42:01,119 i'm all about not thinking i'm all about 1157 00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:02,960 not being serious but as i've gotten 1158 00:42:06,069 --> 00:42:04,800 older and gotten more into these 1159 00:42:08,309 --> 00:42:06,079 teachings 1160 00:42:11,270 --> 00:42:08,319 i've realized that my rational mind is 1161 00:42:13,589 --> 00:42:11,280 my great great ally and that a lot of my 1162 00:42:17,510 --> 00:42:13,599 problems when i was younger 1163 00:42:18,790 --> 00:42:17,520 uh was that wasn't rational enough 1164 00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:18,800 people you know 1165 00:42:22,550 --> 00:42:20,240 you want to talk about conspiracy 1166 00:42:24,309 --> 00:42:22,560 culture doesn't want you to be rational 1167 00:42:26,870 --> 00:42:24,319 because if you're rational and they say 1168 00:42:29,030 --> 00:42:26,880 oh you know your life's meaningless 1169 00:42:30,230 --> 00:42:29,040 but we still want you to work 40 50 1170 00:42:33,109 --> 00:42:30,240 hours a week is something you don't like 1171 00:42:34,950 --> 00:42:33,119 to do that's totally irrational 1172 00:42:36,950 --> 00:42:34,960 if you're rational you're going to say 1173 00:42:38,069 --> 00:42:36,960 well you know screw that i'm going to do 1174 00:42:42,870 --> 00:42:38,079 something totally different i got 1175 00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:45,990 yeah i i think we don't have to be as 1176 00:42:51,750 --> 00:42:49,040 negative as we assume we have to be 1177 00:42:52,790 --> 00:42:51,760 and that's my criticism of a lot of 1178 00:42:55,349 --> 00:42:52,800 uh 1179 00:42:56,870 --> 00:42:55,359 buddhist teachings and eastern teachings 1180 00:42:59,030 --> 00:42:56,880 at least here in the west i don't know 1181 00:43:00,069 --> 00:42:59,040 how it works actually in the east but in 1182 00:43:01,990 --> 00:43:00,079 the west 1183 00:43:04,069 --> 00:43:02,000 you know buddhism has become so popular 1184 00:43:05,670 --> 00:43:04,079 mindfulness has become so popular and 1185 00:43:07,589 --> 00:43:05,680 there's a lot of suffering and just 1186 00:43:09,589 --> 00:43:07,599 frankly there that does not 1187 00:43:11,510 --> 00:43:09,599 have to be put on your plate in regards 1188 00:43:15,190 --> 00:43:11,520 to this stuff um 1189 00:43:17,349 --> 00:43:15,200 if you're a mature and open-eyed person 1190 00:43:18,710 --> 00:43:17,359 you're going to be able to handle these 1191 00:43:20,150 --> 00:43:18,720 law of attraction teachings or whatever 1192 00:43:23,510 --> 00:43:20,160 you want to call them without becoming 1193 00:43:25,270 --> 00:43:23,520 this pollyannish you know goofball you 1194 00:43:27,990 --> 00:43:25,280 know that that's just ridiculous you 1195 00:43:29,510 --> 00:43:28,000 know um unfortunately i don't know if 1196 00:43:32,309 --> 00:43:29,520 you want to talk about this or not an 1197 00:43:36,950 --> 00:43:33,829 people don't want to do that they want 1198 00:43:39,750 --> 00:43:36,960 to make comments on youtube and not 1199 00:43:41,030 --> 00:43:39,760 really invest in themselves in terms of 1200 00:43:42,630 --> 00:43:41,040 some of these deep principles that 1201 00:43:44,150 --> 00:43:42,640 people like emil coulee are talking 1202 00:43:45,030 --> 00:43:44,160 about so 1203 00:43:47,430 --> 00:43:45,040 yeah 1204 00:43:49,270 --> 00:43:47,440 there's well we could jump off on any of 1205 00:43:50,630 --> 00:43:49,280 these topics and talk for 1206 00:43:51,829 --> 00:43:50,640 another hour 1207 00:43:54,150 --> 00:43:51,839 you know one of the first things that 1208 00:43:56,390 --> 00:43:54,160 really attracted me to your work is the 1209 00:43:59,109 --> 00:43:56,400 point that you just 1210 00:44:01,190 --> 00:43:59,119 made there maybe because it's kind of my 1211 00:44:03,270 --> 00:44:01,200 nature a little bit 1212 00:44:04,790 --> 00:44:03,280 but you don't feel 1213 00:44:06,390 --> 00:44:04,800 you're not reluctant to call 1214 00:44:08,470 --> 00:44:06,400 where you see 1215 00:44:10,630 --> 00:44:08,480 and i think that is 1216 00:44:12,230 --> 00:44:10,640 unfortunately unfortunately part of this 1217 00:44:13,030 --> 00:44:12,240 rational process 1218 00:44:15,430 --> 00:44:13,040 and 1219 00:44:17,510 --> 00:44:15,440 what you've called on which i 1220 00:44:19,430 --> 00:44:17,520 really appreciate and think it needs to 1221 00:44:20,470 --> 00:44:19,440 is a lot of these 1222 00:44:24,470 --> 00:44:20,480 kind of 1223 00:44:27,109 --> 00:44:24,480 fake westernized uh spiritual traditions 1224 00:44:29,270 --> 00:44:27,119 that wind up just kind of 1225 00:44:31,829 --> 00:44:29,280 rolling into very kind of cultish 1226 00:44:33,270 --> 00:44:31,839 behavior and all the rest of that stuff 1227 00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:33,280 not that 1228 00:44:39,990 --> 00:44:37,440 our standard we old-time religion things 1229 00:44:41,910 --> 00:44:40,000 aren't the same because they really are 1230 00:44:44,710 --> 00:44:41,920 when you deconstruct them they're just a 1231 00:44:46,390 --> 00:44:44,720 few generations down the road but that 1232 00:44:48,390 --> 00:44:46,400 kind of leads me into this whole thing 1233 00:44:50,309 --> 00:44:48,400 about uh cults 1234 00:44:51,270 --> 00:44:50,319 and about because you know we talked 1235 00:44:54,309 --> 00:44:51,280 about 1236 00:44:56,630 --> 00:44:54,319 outstanding 1237 00:44:58,150 --> 00:44:56,640 latest episode on your

00:45:08,800 very easy to read profoundly simple 1244 00:45:13,750 --> 00:45:11,920 because i mean it sounds like 1245 00:45:15,829 --> 00:45:13,760 really too simple and it sounds like 1246 00:45:19,349 --> 00:45:15,839 he's kind of repeating this stuff 1247 00:45:21,190 --> 00:45:19,359 but man it it it works it's very very 1248 00:45:22,950 --> 00:45:21,200 effective i think 1249 00:45:25,910 --> 00:45:22,960 strongly encourage anyone to check it 1250 00:45:27,670 --> 00:45:25,920 out i i if you if you get it 1251 00:45:29,270 --> 00:45:27,680 you'll love it you know if you

00:45:42,319 rational thing recognize 1259 00:45:46,470 --> 00:45:44,240 that some people have worked really hard 1260 00:45:48,790 --> 00:45:46,480 on some mind control techniques 1261 00:45:51,270 --> 00:45:48,800 that are super duper effective 1262 00:45:54,309 --> 00:45:51,280 and it's as simple as 1263 00:45:55,829 --> 00:45:54,319 advertising as news as 1264 00:45:57,270 --> 00:45:55,839 you know 1265 00:45:58,470 --> 00:45:57,280 facebook makes you want to do more 1266 00:46:01,430 --> 00:45:58,480 facebook 1267 00:46:02,950 --> 00:46:01,440 all the rest of that stuff two the very 1268 00:46:04,710 --> 00:46:02,960 kind of things that we normally think of 1269 00:46:07,430 --> 00:46:04,720 with cults you know i i've interviewed 1270 00:46:09,270 --> 00:46:07,440 at least two cult members on this show 1271 00:46:10,950 --> 00:46:09,280 depending on you know how you define 1272 00:46:12,950 --> 00:46:10,960 that might be a guy who was in the 1273 00:46:14,710 --> 00:46:12,960 moonies for 30 years 1274 00:46:16,710 --> 00:46:14,720 30 years remember the moonies you know 1275 00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:16,720 people who forget you know like these 1276 00:46:22,470

isn't totally crazy because he's 1280 00:46:33,589 --> 00:46:29,680 kind of fun but he i'm god 1281 00:46:36,630 --> 00:46:33,599 i'm god and you know i the word of mine 1282 00:46:38,470 -->

1285 00:46:44,309 --> 00:46:42,720 here this is stuff that you would just 1286 00:46:47,349 --> 00:46:44,319 sit back and go this doesn't make any 1287 00:46:49,430 --> 00:46:47,359 sense and for this guy 30 years 1288 00:46:51,750 --> 00:46:49,440 you talk to him he's an awesome guy he 1289 00:46:54,470 --> 00:46:51,760 just passed away actually before we even 1290 00:46:56,390 --> 00:46:54,480 got his interview up awesome guy 1291 00:46:59,510 --> 00:46:56,400 extremely intelligent 1292 00:47:00,870 --> 00:46:59,520 extremely effective at deconstructing 1293 00:47:04,470 --> 00:47:00,880 the moonies 1294 00:47:07,430 --> 00:47:04,480 and revealing some of the very very 1295 00:47:09,030 --> 00:47:07,440 shady political you know arms dealing 1296 00:47:11,109 --> 00:47:09,040 you know 1297 00:47:12,550 --> 00:47:11,119 connections political connections and 1298 00:47:14,069 --> 00:47:12,560 all that stuff 1299 00:47:16,790 --> 00:47:14,079 but ed 1300 00:47:20,069 --> 00:47:16,800 he didn't lose that core essence of his 1301 00:47:22,150 --> 00:47:20,079 spirituality that of course i am in some 1302 00:47:24,630 --> 00:47:22,160 way connected to 1303 00:47:26,870 --> 00:47:24,640 something greater and i might have spun 1304 00:47:28,470 --> 00:47:26,880 my wheels for 30 years but that 1305 00:47:31,030 --> 00:47:28,480 connection is still there and the other 1306 00:47:33,750 --> 00:47:31,040 guy i think of is an ex-scientologist 1307 00:47:36,950 --> 00:47:33,760 and he isn't he's no longer connected 1308 00:47:39,589 --> 00:47:36,960 the only way he could deal with 1309 00:47:42,870 --> 00:47:39,599 the self-hypnosis that led him into a 1310 00:47:46,470 --> 00:47:42,880 cult scientology and kept him in a cult 1311 00:47:49,829 --> 00:47:46,480 was to say okay then there's nothing 1312 00:47:51,670 --> 00:47:49,839 there's it's it's all fake it's all you 1313 00:47:54,710 --> 00:47:51,680 know the kind of total cynical kind of 1314 00:47:56,870 --> 00:47:54,720 thing so a lot to cover there it's 1315 00:47:59,670 --> 00:47:56,880 really about i guess my topic really or 1316 00:48:03,030 --> 00:47:59,680 my question really is about mind control 1317 00:48:05,589 --> 00:48:03,040 about how rationality uh 1318 00:48:08,150 --> 00:48:05,599 plays into that and how the 1319 00:48:10,230 --> 00:48:08,160 the wide-eyed monk which means i'm still 1320 00:48:12,630 --> 00:48:10,240 connected monk means i'm still connected 1321 00:48:14,549 --> 00:48:12,640 to the source i haven't shut that down 1322 00:48:16,790 --> 00:48:14,559 but my eyes are open to me that's the 1323 00:48:18,150 --> 00:48:16,800 rational part so 1324 00:48:22,710 --> 00:48:18,160 how do you think that relates to the 1325 00:48:26,309 --> 00:48:24,069 there's a lot to unpack there because 1326 00:48:27,670 --> 00:48:26,319 you made a lot of interesting points 1327 00:48:29,589 --> 00:48:27,680 i would say something that a lot of 1328 00:48:32,549 --> 00:48:29,599 people don't recognize and this is just 1329 00:48:36,150 --> 00:48:34,790 i've long said that if you want to 1330 00:48:37,910 --> 00:48:36,160 really get 1331 00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:37,920 deep about it 1332 00:48:42,790 --> 00:48:40,480 and really contemplate it 1333 00:48:45,270 --> 00:48:42,800 the source or god or whatever you want 1334 00:48:48,630 --> 00:48:45,280 to call it that deep spiritual nature 1335 00:48:50,630 --> 00:48:48,640 thing like that direct connection 1336 00:48:53,270 --> 00:48:50,640 has absolutely nothing to do with what 1337 00:48:55,670 --> 00:48:53,280 you're doing in your life 1338 00:48:57,510 --> 00:48:55,680 for good or bad 1339 00:49:00,630 --> 00:48:57,520 there's no connection actually in my 1340 00:49:03,190 --> 00:49:00,640 opinion in many ways so this is this is 1341 00:49:03,910 --> 00:49:03,200 new a nuanced point it's hard to explain 1342 00:49:06,390 --> 00:49:03,920 but 1343 00:49:08,230 --> 00:49:06,400 what i mean is 1344 00:49:10,870 --> 00:49:08,240 when we're talking about improving our 1345 00:49:12,630 --> 00:49:10,880 life right and using these various very 1346 00:49:17,430 --> 00:49:12,640 practical law of attraction techniques 1347 00:49:22,630 --> 00:49:19,349 in a weird way it has nothing to do with 1348 00:49:24,309 --> 00:49:22,640 that the deepest spiritual part of us 1349 00:49:25,750 --> 00:49:24,319 and there's all these 1350 00:49:27,589 --> 00:49:25,760 you just gave two examples there's all 1351 00:49:30,630 --> 00:49:27,599 these great examples osha or you know 1352 00:49:34,309 --> 00:49:30,640 raj is a great example um that a lot of 1353 00:49:35,430 --> 00:49:34,319 people know because you know you read 1354 00:49:37,430 --> 00:49:35,440 uh 1355 00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:37,440 remind people remind people who who he 1356 00:49:46,630 --> 00:49:38,319 is 1357 00:49:48,710 --> 00:49:46,640 70s became really really big and uh 1358 00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:48,720 you know internationally basically you 1359 00:49:52,549 --> 00:49:50,400 know and but just 1360 00:49:54,390 --> 00:49:52,559 led basically a criminal organization 1361 00:49:56,150 --> 00:49:54,400 when all of a sudden done while while a 1362 00:49:58,069 --> 00:49:56,160 country is a good documentary that 1363 00:49:59,190 --> 00:49:58,079 explains it that's why i think a lot of 1364 00:50:00,309 --> 00:49:59,200 listeners 1365 00:50:02,150 --> 00:50:00,319 might have watched that if they haven't 1366 00:50:03,670 --> 00:50:02,160 it's a wonderful documentary to get so 1367 00:50:06,150 --> 00:50:03,680 he builds the big he builds the big 1368 00:50:08,069 --> 00:50:06,160 ashram in oregon he's famous for driving 1369 00:50:09,589 --> 00:50:08,079 20 rolls royces which he bought with 1370 00:50:11,430 --> 00:50:09,599 everyone's money and so 1371 00:50:12,870 --> 00:50:11,440 kind of in your face screw you stupid 1372 00:50:15,030 --> 00:50:12,880 people exactly you're working you're 1373 00:50:16,870 --> 00:50:15,040 working digging potatoes i have 20 rolls 1374 00:50:18,390 --> 00:50:16,880 royces and doing it and then all the 1375 00:50:20,150 --> 00:50:18,400 guns and all this stuff like you say in 1376 00:50:22,230 --> 00:50:20,160 the documentary then he winds up 1377 00:50:23,910 --> 00:50:22,240 poisoning all these people yeah you know 1378 00:50:26,710 --> 00:50:23,920 and attempt to kind of political the 1379 00:50:28,710 --> 00:50:26,720 classic classic cult move you know 1380 00:50:30,710 --> 00:50:28,720 perfect perfect example of a 1381 00:50:32,069 --> 00:50:30,720 very prominent cult and really the movie 1382 00:50:33,190 --> 00:50:32,079 honestly is just like the tip of the 1383 00:50:35,510 --> 00:50:33,200 iceberg because i've read some of the 1384 00:50:38,549 --> 00:50:35,520 books about it like it's wild 1385 00:50:41,190 --> 00:50:38,559 but my the point is that 1386 00:50:42,710 --> 00:50:41,200 if you read or see some of videos of him 1387 00:50:46,230 --> 00:50:42,720 talking or read some of his teachings 1388 00:50:49,190 --> 00:50:46,240 you're like holy this guy gets it 1389 00:50:51,990 --> 00:50:49,200 like this guy is a deep spiritual dude 1390 00:50:53,430 --> 00:50:52,000 he's a criminal 1391 00:50:55,270 --> 00:50:53,440 and it's kind of like that brings us 1392 00:50:58,390 --> 00:50:55,280 back to napoleon hill napoleon hill for 1393 00:51:00,390 --> 00:50:58,400 all his flaws for all me knocking him 1394 00:51:02,069 --> 00:51:00,400 he probably did have something he maybe 1395 00:51:04,309 --> 00:51:02,079 was connected to the source in some way 1396 00:51:06,069 --> 00:51:04,319 but like osho is an explicit example i 1397 00:51:08,390 --> 00:51:06,079 mean you can just if you 1398 00:51:10,390 --> 00:51:08,400 don't see the videos just read there's 1399 00:51:12,230 --> 00:51:10,400 this great book of 1400 00:51:13,990 --> 00:51:12,240 his followers did of his it's like 1401 00:51:15,109 --> 00:51:14,000 considered his autobiography it's called 1402 00:51:17,190 --> 00:51:15,119 like 1403 00:51:19,910 --> 00:51:17,200 ramblings of an irreverent man or 1404 00:51:21,190 --> 00:51:19,920 spiritual man some great title 1405 00:51:23,670 --> 00:51:21,200 you read that stuff you're like this is 1406 00:51:25,829 --> 00:51:23,680 just spectacular this is good as any zen 1407 00:51:28,309 --> 00:51:25,839 you know modern zen teacher or anything 1408 00:51:29,990 --> 00:51:28,319 you know and you would have no idea of 1409 00:51:32,309 --> 00:51:30,000 what this guy was like a gun runner and 1410 00:51:34,710 --> 00:51:32,319 had all you know was just leading this 1411 00:51:36,790 --> 00:51:34,720 insane cult you'd have no idea so it's 1412 00:51:38,710 --> 00:51:36,800 like there's in a way there's there's no 1413 00:51:40,470 --> 00:51:38,720 connection and i think it's our choice 1414 00:51:41,829 --> 00:51:40,480 and our responsibility 1415 00:51:44,069 --> 00:51:41,839 you know you talk about the moral 1416 00:51:45,270 --> 00:51:44,079 imperative or whatever 1417 00:51:47,190 --> 00:51:45,280 to do good 1418 00:51:49,349 --> 00:51:47,200 to do unto others you know and that's 1419 00:51:51,270 --> 00:51:49,359 what i love about a lot of the great law 1420 00:51:53,510 --> 00:51:51,280 of attraction teachers emil coe joseph 1421 00:51:55,829 --> 00:51:53,520 murphy people like that because it's so 1422 00:51:58,710 --> 00:51:55,839 clearly just about practically being a 1423 00:52:01,589 --> 00:51:58,720 good person and being rewarded for being 1424 00:52:03,510 --> 00:52:01,599 a good person because like you 1425 00:52:05,910 --> 00:52:03,520 feel better because you're helping more 1426 00:52:07,750 --> 00:52:05,920 people it that seems very 1427 00:52:09,589 --> 00:52:07,760 natural and right 1428 00:52:10,950 --> 00:52:09,599 you know it just seems 1429 00:52:13,030 --> 00:52:10,960 it seems right 1430 00:52:14,710 --> 00:52:13,040 but can it go the other way absolutely 1431 00:52:16,390 --> 00:52:14,720 and i mean there's 1432 00:52:18,069 --> 00:52:16,400 i don't mean to just be riffing on osha 1433 00:52:19,990 --> 00:52:18,079 but like there's some incredible videos 1434 00:52:21,750 --> 00:52:20,000 of osho too you really like you'll watch 1435 00:52:23,750 --> 00:52:21,760 him there's this video of him near the 1436 00:52:25,829 --> 00:52:23,760 end of his life 1437 00:52:27,829 --> 00:52:25,839 it comes into the rolls royce there's 1438 00:52:29,750 --> 00:52:27,839 all this insane music going really good 1439 00:52:31,589 --> 00:52:29,760 music like you know and he goes into the 1440 00:52:32,790 --> 00:52:31,599 hall and there's a little music's 1441 00:52:34,870 --> 00:52:32,800 incredible 1442 00:52:36,309 --> 00:52:34,880 and he's just sitting there looking out 1443 00:52:38,309 --> 00:52:36,319 it's like a 20 minute video just sitting 1444 00:52:40,470 --> 00:52:38,319 there looking out doesn't say a 1445 00:52:43,589 --> 00:52:40,480 word 1446 00:52:45,190 --> 00:52:43,599 know they're their pants you 1447 00:52:47,510 --> 00:52:45,200 know and having orgasms they can't 1448 00:52:50,150 --> 00:52:47,520 believe it's revelation it doesn't say a 1449 00:52:52,710 --> 00:52:50,160 word does this crazy half bow a couple 1450 00:52:54,630 --> 00:52:52,720 times just spectacular 1451 00:52:56,710 --> 00:52:54,640 it gets in the rolls royce and leaves 1452 00:52:58,950 --> 00:52:56,720 you know it's like it's theatrical it's 1453 00:53:00,870 --> 00:52:58,960 theater 1454 00:53:02,710 --> 00:53:00,880 but that guy had something 1455 00:53:04,230 --> 00:53:02,720 you know so that's 1456 00:53:05,270 --> 00:53:04,240 i think that touches a little bit upon 1457 00:53:08,390 --> 00:53:05,280 what you were saying 1458 00:53:09,349 --> 00:53:08,400 or or tim i i i just don't want to pass 1459 00:53:11,910 --> 00:53:09,359 by 1460 00:53:13,510 --> 00:53:11,920 the first point that you said 1461 00:53:15,270 --> 00:53:13,520 because 1462 00:53:17,430 --> 00:53:15,280 i i just hadn't heard it before or 1463 00:53:19,109 --> 00:53:17,440 hadn't heard it expressed that way i 1464 00:53:23,349 --> 00:53:19,119 think it has it's something i'm going to 1465 00:53:24,870 --> 00:53:23,359 have to really mull on mull over but 1466 00:53:26,150 --> 00:53:24,880 it has the potential of kind of taking 1467 00:53:27,670 --> 00:53:26,160 us in a number of different directions 1468 00:53:30,150 --> 00:53:27,680 and that is that 1469 00:53:33,510 --> 00:53:30,160 you know that ultimate source 1470 00:53:35,589 --> 00:53:33,520 again if you apply rationality to it 1471 00:53:38,710 --> 00:53:35,599 there has to be a certain amount of 1472 00:53:40,950 --> 00:53:38,720 distance and disinterest between that 1473 00:53:43,910 --> 00:53:40,960 source and us and again i'm trying to 1474 00:53:46,309 --> 00:53:43,920 take and rephrase it in just a very 1475 00:53:50,069 --> 00:53:46,319 practical way i mean there is the 1476 00:53:53,030 --> 00:53:50,079 tsunami that kills 250 000 people 1477 00:53:56,309 --> 00:53:53,040 there is the holocaust there is the hit 1478 00:53:57,910 --> 00:53:56,319 killing fields there is slavery in the 1479 00:54:00,309 --> 00:53:57,920 united states 1480 00:54:03,030 --> 00:54:00,319 when you know 1481 00:54:04,150 --> 00:54:03,040 the the the local pastor and priests are 1482 00:54:06,309 --> 00:54:04,160 coming over to dinner with the 1483 00:54:08,630 --> 00:54:06,319 slaveholders and being served by the 1484 00:54:10,470 --> 00:54:08,640 slaves and going hey buddy 1485 00:54:12,150 --> 00:54:10,480 fill up my cup here what's what's up 1486 00:54:13,990 --> 00:54:12,160 with this you know what i mean 1487 00:54:16,710 --> 00:54:14,000 so 1488 00:54:18,069 --> 00:54:16,720 we are on a stage we are playing out 1489 00:54:20,870 --> 00:54:18,079 these roles 1490 00:54:23,190 --> 00:54:20,880 maybe the roles we don't understand why 1491 00:54:25,829 --> 00:54:23,200 we're given the role of 1492 00:54:27,670 --> 00:54:25,839 the cult leader and are we supposed to 1493 00:54:29,670 --> 00:54:27,680 overcome that or are we supposed to give 1494 00:54:32,549 --> 00:54:29,680 in to that to play it out for other 1495 00:54:35,430 --> 00:54:32,559 people but i think there is from a 1496 00:54:37,190 --> 00:54:35,440 rational perspective there has to be a 1497 00:54:39,349 --> 00:54:37,200 fundamental truth to what you're 1498 00:54:41,670 --> 00:54:39,359 speculating about that 1499 00:54:43,990 --> 00:54:41,680 our connection to the source 1500 00:54:45,510 --> 00:54:44,000 doesn't really matter in terms of what 1501 00:54:48,069 --> 00:54:45,520 we're supposed to do here is that what i 1502 00:54:49,910 --> 00:54:48,079 hear you saying what we actually do yep 1503 00:54:52,470 --> 00:54:49,920 yep it's irrelevant i say the beginning 1504 00:54:54,309 --> 00:54:52,480 of the joy of not thinking the truth is 1505 00:54:56,230 --> 00:54:54,319 blinding 1506 00:54:57,910 --> 00:54:56,240 it blinds you every time if when you 1507 00:54:59,829 --> 00:54:57,920 really you know when 1508 00:55:01,190 --> 00:54:59,839 you really get hit by it that's it's 1509 00:55:03,910 --> 00:55:01,200 impossible to word it but that's you 1510 00:55:10,630 --> 00:55:06,710 yeah it's way beyond good or bad or any 1511 00:55:13,109 --> 00:55:10,640 anything it's just there and that's god 1512 00:55:14,950 --> 00:55:13,119 and whatever happens is irrelevant 1513 00:55:15,829 --> 00:55:14,960 in that way if we get really deep you 1514 00:55:17,510 --> 00:55:15,839 know 1515 00:55:19,270 --> 00:55:17,520 and so all this practical stuff we're 1516 00:55:20,950 --> 00:55:19,280 talking about is almost unrelated so 1517 00:55:23,109 --> 00:55:20,960 yeah i mean really there's there's part 1518 00:55:25,589 --> 00:55:23,119 of me that likes to just talk about this 1519 00:55:27,589 --> 00:55:25,599 that depth right like that real depth 1520 00:55:29,349 --> 00:55:27,599 that fascinates me 1521 00:55:31,430 --> 00:55:29,359 but it doesn't get you anywhere and 1522 00:55:32,950 --> 00:55:31,440 that's the point i mean like it's like 1523 00:55:34,710 --> 00:55:32,960 and so then it's kind of like what what 1524 00:55:36,150 --> 00:55:34,720 do you do with it you know and in my 1525 00:55:38,549 --> 00:55:36,160 opinion and i have more and more 1526 00:55:40,390 --> 00:55:38,559 conviction as the years pass you do 1527 00:55:42,069 --> 00:55:40,400 something good with it like don't get so 1528 00:55:43,990 --> 00:55:42,079 philosophical oh we could do i could be 1529 00:55:45,990 --> 00:55:44,000 bad i could be good no that do the 1530 00:55:47,270 --> 00:55:46,000 right thing don't be an idiot 1531 00:55:49,589 --> 00:55:47,280 you know i don't mean to use stern 1532 00:55:51,109 --> 00:55:49,599 language but like that's like 1533 00:55:52,069 --> 00:55:51,119 what people need to hear a lot of the 1534 00:55:54,390 --> 00:55:52,079 time because people get too 1535 00:55:56,309 --> 00:55:54,400 philosophical about it no do the right 1536 00:55:57,990 --> 00:55:56,319 thing how would you like to be treated 1537 00:55:59,510 --> 00:55:58,000 if you were treated like that would you 1538 00:56:01,270 --> 00:55:59,520 like it yes or no 1539 00:56:03,430 --> 00:56:01,280 because that you know that's the common 1540 00:56:05,589 --> 00:56:03,440 sense element but does is it 1541 00:56:06,950 --> 00:56:05,599 does it have to do with ultimate reality 1542 00:56:09,589 --> 00:56:06,960 you know 1543 00:56:11,109 --> 00:56:09,599 no and a an issue just to quickly bring 1544 00:56:13,109 --> 00:56:11,119 it back to the law of attraction too 1545 00:56:14,950 --> 00:56:13,119 much law of attraction teaching makes it 1546 00:56:16,710 --> 00:56:14,960 seem like it has to do with ultimate 1547 00:56:18,390 --> 00:56:16,720 reality okay that's my criticism with 1548 00:56:20,390 --> 00:56:18,400 most of it including someone like joseph 1549 00:56:23,270 --> 00:56:20,400 murphy or neville goddard two teachers 1550 00:56:25,349 --> 00:56:23,280 that i love they make it seem like it 1551 00:56:26,870 --> 00:56:25,359 your behavior directly 1552 00:56:29,430 --> 00:56:26,880 has to do with the source in that way 1553 00:56:31,109 --> 00:56:29,440 maybe there's some moral element perhaps 1554 00:56:34,710 --> 00:56:31,119 while 1555 00:56:36,470 --> 00:56:34,720 in my opinion there's not it's just your 1556 00:56:40,230 --> 00:56:36,480 you know there's no right or wrong it's 1557 00:56:42,150 --> 00:56:40,240 just god is right i am that i am you 1558 00:56:45,349 --> 00:56:42,160 know and it's just uh 1559 00:56:47,109 --> 00:56:45,359 it blows you away awesome awesome stuff 1560 00:56:49,829 --> 00:56:47,119 tim what are you working on these days i 1561 00:56:52,069 --> 00:56:49,839 know you're you're always for as much of 1562 00:56:55,349 --> 00:56:52,079 a guy who's kind of checking out you 1563 00:56:57,030 --> 00:56:55,359 know you're just working away there 1564 00:56:58,710 --> 00:56:57,040 well i'm working on just the normal you 1565 00:57:00,549 --> 00:56:58,720 know the normal family stuff first of 1566 00:57:02,950 --> 00:57:00,559 all you know just just trying to to live 1567 00:57:05,190 --> 00:57:02,960 a decent life that's always the big 1568 00:57:08,069 --> 00:57:05,200 priority but work wise yeah i mean this 1569 00:57:10,549 --> 00:57:08,079 new podcast the intention was to make it 1570 00:57:12,230 --> 00:57:10,559 low key and not to do it that often so 1571 00:57:13,349 --> 00:57:12,240 once i uh 1572 00:57:15,430 --> 00:57:13,359 once you get going with it there's 1573 00:57:16,950 --> 00:57:15,440 probably going to be weekly episodes um 1574 00:57:18,789 --> 00:57:16,960 but for right now there's a couple a 1575 00:57:19,990 --> 00:57:18,799 couple new episodes a week 1576 00:57:21,829 --> 00:57:20,000 and um 1577 00:57:23,430 --> 00:57:21,839 like i said if 1578 00:57:25,030 --> 00:57:23,440 if you want my take on a lot of these 1579 00:57:26,710 --> 00:57:25,040 law of attraction teachings the law of 1580 00:57:29,589 --> 00:57:26,720 attraction simplified 1581 00:57:31,109 --> 00:57:29,599 is the book that i released recently 1582 00:57:33,030 --> 00:57:31,119 and i'm working on a new book that's 1583 00:57:35,430 --> 00:57:33,040 very practically based just dealing with 1584 00:57:38,470 --> 00:57:35,440 stress reduction um 1585 00:57:40,390 --> 00:57:38,480 about finances and stuff like that so 1586 00:57:42,549 --> 00:57:40,400 you know i try to keep it fresh i like 1587 00:57:44,150 --> 00:57:42,559 to always have my hand in a couple 1588 00:57:45,829 --> 00:57:44,160 different projects at once so if i get 1589 00:57:47,510 --> 00:57:45,839 bored with one i can 1590 00:57:49,030 --> 00:57:47,520 share something else with somebody else 1591 00:57:50,710 --> 00:57:49,040 you're not gonna tee up the next one 1592 00:57:52,870 --> 00:57:50,720 that's out there a few months you can 1593 00:57:55,030 --> 00:57:52,880 leave it off that's fine no i just don't 1594 00:57:56,309 --> 00:57:55,040 really know what the heck it exactly is 1595 00:57:58,470 --> 00:57:56,319 going to be yet except it's going to be 1596 00:58:00,390 --> 00:57:58,480 very practical you said something about 1597 00:58:04,549 --> 00:58:00,400 quilting come on yes something about 1598 00:58:06,710 --> 00:58:04,559 very something something christmasy 1599 00:58:08,309 --> 00:58:06,720 no i'm just uh yeah no the next thing i 1600 00:58:10,150 --> 00:58:08,319 think is going to have to do let me give 1601 00:58:12,549 --> 00:58:10,160 you guys a teaser because we have to do 1602 00:58:14,150 --> 00:58:12,559 a giving 1603 00:58:15,589 --> 00:58:14,160 you know because that's i think 1604 00:58:17,990 --> 00:58:15,599 something that is 1605 00:58:20,150 --> 00:58:18,000 almost innate in us there's there's a 1606 00:58:21,030 --> 00:58:20,160 joy of giving 1607 00:58:23,829 --> 00:58:21,040 and 1608 00:58:26,710 --> 00:58:23,839 we are told that that's not the case by 1609 00:58:28,710 --> 00:58:26,720 a large part of society and i 1610 00:58:30,069 --> 00:58:28,720 disagree with that i think the idea of 1611 00:58:32,710 --> 00:58:30,079 giving 1612 00:58:34,870 --> 00:58:32,720 is an inherent part of our makeup 1613 00:58:36,870 --> 00:58:34,880 probably from like an evolutionary and 1614 00:58:39,589 --> 00:58:36,880 physiological perspective as well as a 1615 00:58:41,270 --> 00:58:39,599 mental perspective of whatever 1616 00:58:42,789 --> 00:58:41,280 so uh yeah it's gonna have to do with 1617 00:58:44,789 --> 00:58:42,799 that as opposed to quilting i think 1618 00:58:46,390 --> 00:58:44,799 sorry to disappoint people 1619 00:58:49,190 --> 00:58:46,400 great great 1620 00:58:51,670 --> 00:58:49,200 our guest again has been tim grimes 1621 00:58:53,829 --> 00:58:51,680 you can check them out on amazon all 1622 00:58:56,069 -->
