Algorithm Spirituality: A Divine Reflection?
00:00:43
Speaker
I'm your host, Eric Bigger, and I'm back again with another episode. And today it's going to be incredible because I get to talk about the algorithm spirituality when your feed feels like God's plan.
00:00:57
Speaker
So, you know, these phones, we're always talking on them. We're recording on them. They're picking up all our information, our conversations, everything we're thinking, everything we're feeling. I really feel like it's a sensory device to pick up our energies, high vibe, low vibe.
00:01:13
Speaker
And as you know, when you go to Instagram, it's not even social media anymore. It's interest media. What are you interested in and what do you like? But I want to talk about how spirituality of your higher self set intentions for for your social media accounts can benefit you in life and when your feed can look like God's plan.
00:01:33
Speaker
So the other the day I was talking to a friend and I was just talking to them about relationships. So the post goes how the masculine essence feeds the feminine power. And so the moral story goes, when a man can pour in his love and his energy, his strength and his masculinity into his woman and love her emotionally and mentally and however she wants to feel love from an intangible space, the tangible space which is his business and his vision will grow, will expand his consciousness, will expand his vibration, will expand who he is.
Love and Energy: Catalysts for Growth
00:02:10
Speaker
The challenge is most men feel like they have to provide, protect, and just focus on the business, right? Like if I focus on the business, if I'm able to take care of my spouse, my family, that's enough. But the way you grow the business and really focus on the business is you focus on your wife, you focus on your partner, and you focus on the person that's by your side.
00:02:29
Speaker
But it confuses us. So then i go to my Instagram. So it says, a man sets the tone of a relationship and a woman reflects what he gives himself. He is steady, consistent, and intentional.
00:02:42
Speaker
She feels safe, cherished, and deeply connected. But if he's distant or careless, she withdraws, questions, everything, and struggles to trust. A woman thrives in love, not in uncertainty.
00:02:56
Speaker
She shouldn't have to beg for reassurance. She should feel it in how he shows up daily. When a man leads with love and stability, he unlocks the most devoted version of her.
00:03:08
Speaker
So a prime example, I put a video out talking about something around that context and I get a quote. So I'm like, oh, wow, look at that. That's what I'm saying.
Who Controls the Algorithm, Us or Them?
00:03:18
Speaker
See, this is what I was talking about.
00:03:20
Speaker
However, but it's the algorithm. controlling us or training us or we training it? So that's why today's episode, I want you to really take in what I'm saying and to feel what I'm giving you so you can set your life, your algorithm, your spiritual nature and who you are up for success because the world has programmed and conditioned us to be distracted with distractions so we don't walk in or step into our soul's purpose or essence.
Curating Social Media for Purposeful Living
00:03:52
Speaker
So number one thing, I want you to go to your social media account and look at all the people you follow and look at the people that don't serve your highest purpose, the people who don't fulfill you with their content or people you just don't see that much or you don't talk to anymore. Unfollow those people, remove those people. If you got to meet some people because maybe there's family or friends of a friend or business, like I get it.
00:04:15
Speaker
But unfollow those people. You don't need to be following those people. Two, Go to your explore page. What do you see the most of? Do you see fitness stuff? Do you see food? Do you see negativity? Do you see gossip?
00:04:27
Speaker
Do you see rap music, R&B? Like what's on your explore page? So to revamp and to refresh and recalibrate your explore page, go and like the things you want to see. So go and find 10 things you want to see. So prime example for me, I will go into self-motivated quotes, fitness workouts, carnivore diet, spirituality, prayer, breath work. I will go and search these in a search bar and I'll look at this stuff and I'll start liking things that resonate with me.
00:04:57
Speaker
And now three... what is your intention when you go to social media? Is it to scroll to be distracted or is it to post content that's adding value? So what's your intentions?
00:05:07
Speaker
So that's it. Number three, what is your intentions when you go to social media? It's simple question. And four, is your content adding value to the world? you know, if it doesn't, it doesn't matter, but I'm really trying to get you to be more in the feed of God's plan and not your plan. I I mean, you guys know the quote where they say God laughs when you make plans because the plan is already there. You just don't see because you're distracted.
00:05:30
Speaker
You're distorted. You're challenged with other people's gossip and mess because you're following the wrong people. You're liking the wrong things. And tell your close friends or the people what you love, stop sending you videos you don't want to see.
00:05:42
Speaker
That's another thing. So, number one, unfollow those you don't need to follow anymore, that don't serve your higher self, that don't benefit where you're going. Two, go like the things that you want to see on your explore page. Motivation, inspiration, wisdom, church, dancing, music, sports. Like the things you want to see, not the things you don't want to see.
00:06:01
Speaker
Three, what is your intentions when you go to social media Because you've got to get clear on what energy you're bringing to it. Because maybe your content is negative or maybe your content is not as uplifting, right? And it's okay. Let's be honest. Let's be authentic. Let's be transparent.
00:06:13
Speaker
This is how we grow. And four, is your content adding value? And if not, how can you add value to the world you live in? Whether it's a business, whether it's just family, friends, personal, try to post good content. Whatever you put out, you're going to get. They said you get what you give. So if you're giving the world positivity, You're giving the world of prayer. You're giving the world meditation. You're giving the world how to drop ship. If you're giving people like books to read, then that's the content you're going to call in as well.
00:06:40
Speaker
So let's talk about this topic, Outer Rhythm and Spirituality. I kind of gave you a little bit of context
Aligning Content with Personal Purpose
00:06:45
Speaker
background. I think it's important in this new age as we move forward into the social media, AI, technology, we got to really be on point on what's controlling our psyche, what's controlling our mind, and what's controlling our energy.
00:06:59
Speaker
Because sometimes you can wake up and feel heavy. You can go to bed feeling heavy. You can feel heavy and negative throughout the day, but hold on, why are you feeling that way? Maybe because of the content you're absorbing on a day-to-day basis.
00:07:13
Speaker
The news you're watching, the social media captions you're reading, the stuff your family members are talking about. So we got to program our social media channels in our life to benefit us, to fulfill us. It's called PSYOPs.
00:07:26
Speaker
PSYOP is like a psychological programming to control you, to get you out of alignment. To get you out of your body and get you in your mind. To get you in fear. To get you distracted.
00:07:37
Speaker
So it can take your power. Take your energy. Where you don't have the capability to live the life you want. Or the life you're called to live in this lifetime. And this is why in spiritual fitness, I always like to start each workout.
00:07:51
Speaker
Or each day. Anything I'm doing. Even doing these podcasts. With intentions. You have to live intentional life. You have to know what you're doing, why you're doing it, and where coming from.
00:08:03
Speaker
Because a lot of us live on autopilot. We're always on these phones. We're always talking about or watching what the world is showing us and what they're telling us, putting us in fear. So I want you, take your power back. Because you know, as you guys listen to this episode, you'll listen to this and then you'll go on social media and it'll bring you something that might correlate or relate to what I'm saying.
00:08:23
Speaker
And I might even see something on my phone. So look, I'm gonna go on my phone real quick. So a person is talking about dating men versus dating women. Another one says, thank you, angels, for reminding me of your presence. And then the next one is like a human design, right?
00:08:36
Speaker
So kind of sort of, maybe not, but this is on my feed. And these people that I'm looking at, I follow these people. So it's my choice on what I see. Look at Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, threads, Snapchat, whatever your Facebook.
00:08:51
Speaker
Look at your feed like your car. Meaning like if your car is a Lambo, people going to like it, They're going to come to the page, especially if it's clean, it's nice, it's new, it's refreshed.
00:09:02
Speaker
And then look at your story is which it feels and look like on inside of that car. So ask yourself right now, does your feed promote a clean car? Does your feed promote a car that's attractive?
00:09:15
Speaker
Does your feed promote a car that people want to get in and know more about, a drive and Learn the engine and the gears and what gas does it take, which is you. You're the car that's driving on the roads of social media.
00:09:27
Speaker
So this is why we have to take our power back. We have to be in control of what we're giving social media, what we're giving the world. Because if not, the world is going to give us what they want us to feed to challenge us, to disempower us, to take from us unconsciously. And then you're in a perpetuating cycle of being programmed, conditioned, and controlled by mass media, social media, based on whatever you're giving.
00:09:52
Speaker
There are sometimes the things that come on my feed, our press not interested. I don't want to see that. I don't want to see something that's not benefiting my ener energy, not benefiting my mind. And sometimes I catch myself, especially late at night, squishing. scrolling, mindless scrolling. Like, you know what I do instead?
00:10:06
Speaker
I go read a book for 15 minutes or I set my intentions for the next day. Train the algorithm to your benefit. Train the algorithm for your fulfillment. Train the algorithm for the answers you're looking for.
00:10:20
Speaker
Some of us are, you know, in financial struggles. Some of us are depressed, anxious. Some of us are in fear. That's okay. Be human. I'm not saying don't be human, but how about in those spaces,
00:10:33
Speaker
Those shadows, frequencies of yourself or down days the low vibe days. How about you find content that's going to benefit the energy? You know, follow me. I'm all about positivity and living a high vibration, taking power over your mind and your life. Believe in God. i have faith. I have certainty. I pray a lot.
00:10:52
Speaker
That's my content. Others are not like that. and That's okay. So what I'm saying is you want to set your life up for success. When you look over to the sideline of life, if you're in a gang of life and you're not doing well, you want to make sure you look the sideline. You got all the support you need. And that's what social media is.
00:11:07
Speaker
It's even your support. or your downfall. So the question is, who's running your social media? Who's running your life? And what are you believing? What are you taking in? What are you reading? What are you listening to? And where is it coming from?
00:11:20
Speaker
And sometimes it could be your peers. It can be your parents. It can be people close to you sending you content or things you don't want to see. So people, we have the power. The power's in your hand. You have the choice to choose something different for your greater good. You have the choice to remove people from your life.
00:11:38
Speaker
You have the choice to choose something different so you can live in a high vibration or so you can be fulfilled. And also, let's remove all the content that's low vibration, that's gossipy, that doesn't bring any value. It's just people talking about nothing.
00:11:53
Speaker
You know, people fighting. I don't want to see that. People getting attacked by dogs. I don't want to see that. Politics, people constantly see going back and forth about the war. That's something I personally don't want to see. um It's not that it doesn't have an effect. I mean, certain things I just don't want to see.
00:12:06
Speaker
Growing up, you know, especially people I knew that was like heavy in church and, you know, now not the church thing. Church is great. People are like, you can't think like that. I'm like, what?
00:12:16
Speaker
What you mean and I can't think like that? I was like, it's like how are you going to do that? You don't even know nobody in L.A. I'm like, so? Because I always had my own mind. I don't think about the worst case. I'm thinking about the best case scenario. How can I level up my life? OK, when I came in l L.A. 2010, I had a thousand dollars to my name. I need one person.
00:12:33
Speaker
People are you think that's smart? Yeah. you want to know why? Because my algorithm of my soul, of my intuition told me it was so. So I followed my guidance system.
00:12:44
Speaker
I didn't need logic to make sense to come to LA 15 years ago. The how is the ego. If you're always looking for the how, that's the ego trying to keep you small. But if you just had certainty and faith more than what you can see, you're to always be prepared for where you want to go.
00:13:00
Speaker
So people, let's train outer rhythm. Let's tap into your spiritual fitness, your spiritual currency, your spirituality to set up your fee as if it's God's plan. Like the creator is talking to you through you. The universe is benefiting you, supporting you, loving you to help you grow.
00:13:16
Speaker
There's no excuses. We have all the resources, all the assets, all the information out here. But this is the thing about information. This is the thing about social media.
00:13:28
Speaker
They're bombarding us with all this information. And all it's doing is confusing you and losing you, confusing you and losing you, distracting Because that information probably doesn't benefit the you that you are now.
00:13:39
Speaker
Like, oh,
Influences from Tony Robbins and Bob Proctor
00:13:40
Speaker
I want to make a million dollars a year. Maybe you just want to make $100,000 a year. So you shouldn't be watching that video because everybody else is watching it. When I was in l LA and I was coming up, Tony Robbins and Bob Prockett were two of the gurus I followed the most. And these guys helped me. that It was because of Tony Robbins' book, Unlimited Power and Awaken a Giant Within. When I read his opening part of him growing up miserable with his mom and his dad and things like his story would show me, oh, everybody go through stuff. Like, it's okay.
00:14:09
Speaker
So people... Make sure you're following right people. Make sure you remove all the wrong people and make sure you're liking the things that's going to benefit your feet. That's all. That's it.
00:14:20
Speaker
It's very simple. It's very to the point. Algorithm. Spirituality. Let's tap into your higher self. Let's get in alignment of your soul's assignment and take advantage of the advantage of the power of choice that you have.
00:14:34
Speaker
With your social media.
Social Media Visibility and Future Success
00:14:35
Speaker
Your social media account is your home. And how you set up your home is is what you're going to receive from it. What you're going benefit or gravitate to. And also post content. Listen, five years from now, if you don't on social media, you don't, I don't know what to tell you.
00:14:49
Speaker
Because visibility is in a currency. I'm telling you, you need to be visible. I know it's not for everybody. i get it. But you're about to get with the program because things are changing. And I also think, you know, in few years, there might not be no physical currency. to be all digital.
00:15:02
Speaker
So those are my opinions and those are my thoughts. I'm sending everyone
