Speaker
But let's get into the episode.
Defining Spiritual Growth
00:02:21
Speaker
Spiritual growth and being attuned to the universe.
00:02:25
Speaker
What does that mean?
00:02:27
Speaker
From my perspective, that means internally, spiritually, mentally, emotionally growing your spirit to reach a higher self, to reach your highest vibration, right?
00:02:39
Speaker
The light of life.
00:02:42
Speaker
Being attuned to the universe is being able to talk to the universe, to manifest things, to kind of listen, to kind of be aware, to kind of see where things are going.
00:02:51
Speaker
I always say the bigger picture, you kind of see it, you know it, you have the vision.
00:02:55
Speaker
But everybody's spiritual journey is different.
00:02:57
Speaker
Everyone's perception of God, the universe, higher power is different.
00:03:02
Speaker
So I just want to share my journey with you guys.
00:03:04
Speaker
And some of you might relate.
00:03:06
Speaker
Some of you might get triggered.
00:03:08
Speaker
It might not make sense.
00:03:09
Speaker
It might be complex.
00:03:10
Speaker
It might be confusing.
00:03:12
Speaker
But I'm going to really break it down into detail as much as I can so you can understand my diaphragm and where I'm coming from and where I want to go and how I want you to receive the message.
Childhood Curiosity about Religion
00:03:24
Speaker
So where did my spiritual journey begin?
00:03:27
Speaker
So when I was a young kid, you know, I remember being young.
00:03:30
Speaker
I didn't grow up in a church.
00:03:32
Speaker
I wasn't forced to go to church.
00:03:34
Speaker
I don't even think we had a church that we went to on every Sunday, but you know, we celebrated, you know, Jesus, Christianity was the beliefs, you know, about, you know, Easter and about the Bible.
00:03:46
Speaker
My dad will always talk about the Bible, but mind you, I didn't grow up in a functional family environment.
00:03:52
Speaker
My mom was single.
00:03:53
Speaker
My dad did what he could.
00:03:55
Speaker
He looked after me and my sister.
00:03:58
Speaker
But I always knew my mom and my dad, they were both super spiritual in their heyday.
00:04:05
Speaker
And they still are in some aspects.
00:04:08
Speaker
So when I was young, I was just curious about, okay, what is the Bible?
00:04:11
Speaker
What is God?
00:04:12
Speaker
You're young.
00:04:14
Speaker
You're just curious.
00:04:14
Speaker
Yeah, God, Jesus, the Bible, church.
00:04:19
Speaker
It always had this heavy seriousness to it, like church, Bible, God, religion, religious.
00:04:29
Speaker
You can't do this.
00:04:30
Speaker
You can't do that.
00:04:31
Speaker
It always had this perception that seemed very serious, which I get.
00:04:36
Speaker
So as I've grown older and got older in life, especially coming up, I was just always a curious individual.
00:04:42
Speaker
And I remember, you know, my dad talking to me about the Bible, me understanding like what God is, you know, you get the white man as Jesus, I would believe.
00:04:54
Speaker
I thought that was God.
00:04:55
Speaker
I mean, that's the only photo or visual I had, you know, you know, so that's what I thought
Spiritual Awakening at 16
00:05:01
Speaker
God was.
00:05:01
Speaker
But as I got older, you know, I kind of kind of dig deep into like religion and like what it's all about.
00:05:09
Speaker
I remember, maybe I think it was at the age 16, right?
00:05:13
Speaker
And 16, I don't know.
00:05:15
Speaker
It's just like something that came over me.
00:05:17
Speaker
Like, I don't know what it was.
00:05:18
Speaker
I would say spirit.
00:05:19
Speaker
I would say God, higher power.
00:05:20
Speaker
Like, there was a spirit that came over me and I was moved.
00:05:23
Speaker
Like I said, it wasn't intuition at the time because I didn't have that understanding what intuition was.
00:05:28
Speaker
I was moved to like pray, right?
00:05:31
Speaker
And like every night before bed, I would pray.
00:05:35
Speaker
But it was like if I was somewhat tired, I'd still be like, dear God, please, please, please bless me.
00:05:40
Speaker
Like, you know, just imagine me right now.
00:05:42
Speaker
My eyes closed and I'm tired and I'm just praying.
00:05:44
Speaker
But every night I would pray.
00:05:46
Speaker
And the interesting thing about my prayers is
00:05:49
Speaker
Everything I've ever prayed about from when I was that age until now mostly has come to light, has manifested, has crystallized, has astralized in my life.
00:06:00
Speaker
And it could be anything from a job to a girl to opportunity to a certain lifestyle.
00:06:07
Speaker
It all came true.
00:06:08
Speaker
But then again, I didn't grow up in a church.
00:06:10
Speaker
I wasn't forced to go to church.
00:06:12
Speaker
I didn't really understand the dynamics of church.
00:06:14
Speaker
I was a believer of God.
00:06:16
Speaker
We read the Bible and all these things.
00:06:19
Speaker
Boom, let's fast forward.
00:06:21
Speaker
So mind you, I was spiritual, right?
00:06:23
Speaker
Since I was a kid, I believed in God and I had my own relationship, whatever you call it, right?
00:06:28
Speaker
And my dad would always say it's not about religion, it's about relationship.
Questioning Religious Practices
00:06:31
Speaker
So I moved to LA at 22, fresh out of college.
00:06:35
Speaker
And at the age of 23, I started going to church.
00:06:38
Speaker
You know, I'm out here by myself.
00:06:39
Speaker
I don't really know too many people.
00:06:41
Speaker
I'm trying to fit in, trying to find my way.
00:06:44
Speaker
But I'm the type of person, if I'm curious about something, I'm not going to judge it until...
00:06:50
Speaker
I experienced it.
00:06:51
Speaker
So for nine months at the age of 23, I went to church every Sunday.
00:06:56
Speaker
I paid my tithes.
00:06:57
Speaker
I was broke at the time.
00:06:58
Speaker
I didn't have money.
00:06:59
Speaker
So a little bit of money I was getting, I was paying my tithes.
00:07:03
Speaker
I was just doing Bible study.
00:07:05
Speaker
I wasn't cursing.
00:07:07
Speaker
I wasn't having sex.
00:07:10
Speaker
I think it was times where I wouldn't even listen to rap music.
00:07:12
Speaker
Like I was just in this whole embrace of like, this is what I'm doing.
00:07:16
Speaker
I'm locking in.
00:07:17
Speaker
I'm
00:07:19
Speaker
You know, and so I'm like, okay, cool.
00:07:20
Speaker
I said, let me give you a trial.
00:07:21
Speaker
And everyone's saying it works.
00:07:22
Speaker
And, you know, you got to pay your tithes, 10% of whatever you make.
00:07:26
Speaker
And cool.
00:07:26
Speaker
I did it.
00:07:27
Speaker
It was great.
00:07:29
Speaker
You know, I think like six or seven months in, I started thinking like,
00:07:34
Speaker
why do I feel bad for being human?
00:07:37
Speaker
Like, if I look at a girl in a lustful way or in a way like, oh man, she's a nice body.
00:07:42
Speaker
She was like, why did I start to feel guilt about myself?
00:07:45
Speaker
Or if I said a curse word or you're like, why, what was all this guilt and shame around being human?
00:07:52
Speaker
I was like, you know what?
00:07:54
Speaker
I'm not a bad person.
00:07:56
Speaker
I don't do anything to hurt anyone.
00:07:59
Speaker
Um, um,
00:08:01
Speaker
So why am I judging myself and why do I feel bad?
00:08:03
Speaker
And so, you know, there's this word called coercion.
00:08:06
Speaker
I believe that's the term.
00:08:07
Speaker
And coercion is like when people use spirituality, God, or religion or something of that matter to control you, right?
00:08:15
Speaker
To make you feel like if you don't do this or else, you're going to hell, right?
00:08:20
Speaker
And I believe heaven and hell is on earth, right?
00:08:22
Speaker
Mentally, emotionally, spiritually, because I believe we all have different energies and entities out here that are dark and light, right?
00:08:30
Speaker
So I just like, I would question, like, that doesn't make sense.
00:08:33
Speaker
And the thing that really changed my real perspective on religion, not God, religion, that everybody I was going to church with that was such a believer and knew all the scripture, it was going every Sunday, and they were hypocrites.
00:08:46
Speaker
And granted, they say, thou should not judge.
00:08:48
Speaker
Here, I am judging, right?
00:08:50
Speaker
I was like, these people don't even live what they preach.
00:08:55
Speaker
I'm the type of person, it's like with my clients.
00:08:57
Speaker
I'm never going to tell my clients to do something I'm not doing.
00:09:00
Speaker
I'm not going to tell anyone to do something I'm not doing.
00:09:03
Speaker
I'm a true essence of the embodiment of the experience to be able to give the wisdom to someone else.
00:09:09
Speaker
That kind of threw me off.
00:09:11
Speaker
These people in church, they go and they're talking.
00:09:14
Speaker
They're acting as if they're not actually being it.
00:09:16
Speaker
They're not actually embodying it.
00:09:17
Speaker
They're going against.
00:09:20
Speaker
Here I go, judging like no one's perfect.
00:09:22
Speaker
Everyone's forgiving.
00:09:23
Speaker
And so I'm
Embracing Diverse Religious Views
00:09:24
Speaker
like, hmm.
00:09:24
Speaker
So after nine months, you know, I, you know, I decided to, you know, like I still believed in God.
00:09:30
Speaker
I got the information I needed.
00:09:32
Speaker
I always tell people don't judge the product, get the message.
00:09:34
Speaker
And I realized church was a space, a space in place for me to kind of get the message and get the word.
00:09:40
Speaker
And what is God trying to speak to me and speak through me in that moment?
00:09:44
Speaker
And it also got to a point where I'm going to the church.
00:09:46
Speaker
It became Hollywood.
00:09:47
Speaker
Like it became a fashion show.
00:09:48
Speaker
Everybody wanted to be
00:09:50
Speaker
The conversation was never about church.
00:09:53
Speaker
It was about something else.
00:09:53
Speaker
I was just so over that.
00:09:55
Speaker
I'm like, I want to go.
00:09:58
Speaker
And get the word.
00:09:58
Speaker
Like, I'm not there to shits and giggles.
00:10:01
Speaker
Like, I'm just not who I am.
00:10:02
Speaker
Like, I want the truth, right?
00:10:03
Speaker
I want the God, heavenly truth.
00:10:05
Speaker
Like, God, speak through me, speak to me.
00:10:07
Speaker
So then I removed myself from that environment.
00:10:08
Speaker
You know, I started watching, you know, the T.D.
00:10:10
Speaker
Jakes, Gerald Osteens, Joyce Meyer, like all the religious pastors that I connect with emotionally, mentally, that I get that message, which it works well.
00:10:19
Speaker
You know, it actually worked better because I could protect my energy and it had to be an environment where I had to feel like I had to be something to serve someone in whatever manner.
00:10:29
Speaker
So, you know, and then, you know, and I started growing more.
00:10:31
Speaker
I'm like, okay, cool.
00:10:32
Speaker
Like, I believe in God, you know, I'm super spiritual.
00:10:35
Speaker
And then I started thinking like, you know, you got people who are atheists and agnostic, I think people who don't believe in God, who don't believe in anything.
00:10:41
Speaker
Right.
00:10:43
Speaker
So, um, I, uh, I, um, I said, I said to myself, I said, but I'm the type of person.
00:10:51
Speaker
I mean, I'm the person I want to help people in the world.
00:10:53
Speaker
I want to help all people.
00:10:55
Speaker
So I'm like, if I'm willing to help all people, um,
00:10:58
Speaker
Why would I judge someone who's not a believer?
00:11:00
Speaker
Or why wouldn't I help someone who's not a believer?
00:11:02
Speaker
That's kind of like bias, right?
00:11:05
Speaker
I said, I got to be willing to be open to helping and serving all people.
00:11:08
Speaker
I said, I'm not going to say that they got to study what I study or believe what I believe, but I'm going to tell them, look, this is what I believe.
00:11:13
Speaker
I believe in God.
00:11:14
Speaker
I pray.
00:11:15
Speaker
And this is what I do.
00:11:17
Speaker
So forth and so out.
00:11:19
Speaker
And then I got older and I started growing.
00:11:20
Speaker
And then I picked up this book.
00:11:22
Speaker
This book had like 50 religions in there.
00:11:24
Speaker
I'm like, wow, this is Judaism, Taoism, Buddhism, Catholic, Muslim, like all these religions.
00:11:34
Speaker
Some of them I heard of, but a lot of them I didn't.
00:11:37
Speaker
I'm like, wow, there's so many religions.
00:11:40
Speaker
you're like, what is it about, you know, Christianity that makes it the prominent one and that's the only one?
00:11:46
Speaker
I was like, man, it's interesting.
00:11:48
Speaker
So religion is kind of like a sport.
00:11:50
Speaker
And it has its own rules, regulations, and structures within it.
00:11:54
Speaker
Like you got soccer, you got hockey, you got baseball, you got basketball, right?
00:11:58
Speaker
You got tennis, you got golf.
00:12:00
Speaker
Like those are different sports, but they serve the same purpose, you know, to win, to compete, to be, right?
00:12:06
Speaker
To work at something.
00:12:08
Speaker
And so I started not to judge religion anymore and started realizing, okay, what is the message from this?
00:12:14
Speaker
Whatever was, you know, Judaism or Taoism, like what are they trying to tell me here?
00:12:18
Speaker
Because I feel like we're all connected.
00:12:21
Speaker
We're one with God and God is the universe.
00:12:23
Speaker
Always say, I tell people, your body is like the universe and your soul is like God.
00:12:29
Speaker
But what is God is, God is everything.
00:12:33
Speaker
God is everywhere.
00:12:33
Speaker
He's omnipresent.
00:12:35
Speaker
He's the infinite intelligence.
00:12:36
Speaker
He's everywhere and anywhere at all given times.
00:12:40
Speaker
You just gotta tap into your spirit, your higher realm, spiritual currency to get access to that notion, that voice, that thing, the entity, the energy to speak through you, speak to you.
00:12:50
Speaker
You know, is he a he?
00:12:52
Speaker
Is he a her?
00:12:52
Speaker
Is it it?
00:12:53
Speaker
It doesn't matter.
00:12:53
Speaker
I believe it's a higher source of energy that you can connect to when you're in alignment of that it thing, that thing, he, her, him.
00:13:02
Speaker
It doesn't matter to me.
00:13:05
Speaker
And I also think when we put things in a box, we don't allow ourselves to open up to what is for us.
00:13:10
Speaker
Right?
00:13:11
Speaker
And some of you might agree.
00:13:12
Speaker
Some of you might disagree.
00:13:13
Speaker
That's okay.
00:13:13
Speaker
I don't want anyone to disagree with everything I say.
00:13:17
Speaker
I want you to find what your truth is within this conversation.
Influence of Self-Help on Spirituality
00:13:20
Speaker
Right?
00:13:21
Speaker
So boom, you know, I'm, you know, great, great.
00:13:24
Speaker
And so then, you know, I'm constantly grounded.
00:13:25
Speaker
I'm reading books like power versus force, self-esteem prophecy, um, awakening a new life purpose, stillness speaks the power of now, uh, thinking grow rich as a man.
00:13:38
Speaker
Think of the secret and all these, you know, self-help personal development books, um,
00:13:44
Speaker
And honestly, those books all talked about God.
00:13:47
Speaker
It had some source of the creator, infinite intelligence, the divine being, the one which I consider God.
00:13:58
Speaker
That thing, that's omnipresent.
00:14:03
Speaker
I'm like, okay.
00:14:04
Speaker
I started listening to your chakra system and then your third eye, your crown chakra, your throat chakra, your shake rule, your solar plexus, your root, all these things.
00:14:15
Speaker
Oh, higher vibrations, high frequency.
00:14:18
Speaker
I'm like, okay.
00:14:19
Speaker
I guess this is with meditation, ayahuasca, all these things.
00:14:24
Speaker
Okay, this is deep spirituality or somewhat connected.
00:14:27
Speaker
I think it's all connected through God with God.
00:14:30
Speaker
And
00:14:31
Speaker
I come across books and I realize, you know what?
00:14:35
Speaker
I think for years, probably my first few years out here, people would tell me, you can't use the word God on your coat.
00:14:41
Speaker
Stop saying God.
00:14:44
Speaker
You can't say that.
00:14:46
Speaker
People would look at you different, judge you.
00:14:48
Speaker
It kind of made me apprehensive.
00:14:49
Speaker
Why are people so oxymoron or so lukewarm with God?
00:14:54
Speaker
Why can't you say God?
00:14:55
Speaker
It's like it's the end of the world.
00:14:57
Speaker
I did something wrong.
00:14:59
Speaker
And so, you know, as I've gotten older and more ways, I'm like, okay, I see what they're saying.
00:15:04
Speaker
But, you know, now more than ever, 2024, we all need some type of God, some type of breakthrough, some type of healing, some type of awakening, some type of spirituality.
00:15:15
Speaker
And everyone is just so loose and open about healing and higher power and the creator.
00:15:21
Speaker
But just six, seven years ago, it was all, you don't say that.
00:15:25
Speaker
So times have changed.
00:15:26
Speaker
And I believe all of us deserve and should know our spiritual gifts, our spiritual power.
00:15:32
Speaker
And we should get some spiritual currency because as we can see, you can have all the money.
00:15:36
Speaker
You can have all the fame and still feel empty inside and still not be connected to your true self.
00:15:42
Speaker
Because the distractions of social media, money, fame, and all these things don't allow you to tap into your divine essence of who you are.
00:15:51
Speaker
I always say my alignment is my soul's assignment.
00:15:55
Speaker
To tap into your soul purpose, right?
00:15:58
Speaker
So, you know...
00:16:01
Speaker
Everybody's perspective is different.
00:16:02
Speaker
Everybody grows up different.
00:16:04
Speaker
Everybody's reality and truth and perception of God is different.
00:16:07
Speaker
I believe whatever that relationship is for you, you need to hold on to that.
00:16:11
Speaker
You need to stick with that.
00:16:12
Speaker
And if it works, utilize it.
00:16:14
Speaker
Don't go off what the pastor says or what mom or dad, what does your soul tell you?
00:16:19
Speaker
Because you got to listen to that.
00:16:20
Speaker
And I think we get so afraid because that's not what T.D.
00:16:24
Speaker
Jake said, or that's not what Crefto Gallo or Joel Osteen or my pastor said.
00:16:30
Speaker
Just because a person has authority doesn't mean that everything they say is certain for you.
00:16:35
Speaker
You know, God gives you authority over everything, not a person that's human who has flesh because they're imperfect, right?
00:16:42
Speaker
They always say don't put your faith in man's hands, put your faith in God's hands, right?
00:16:46
Speaker
I really believe that.
00:16:48
Speaker
And so what I'm really saying in this episode, in this moment, I want you to really think about what I've been saying and how I've been saying it and how it can relate to you.
00:16:56
Speaker
How does it resonate and maybe how it doesn't.
00:16:59
Speaker
But I want you to kind of develop and build a spiritual relationship with God.
00:17:03
Speaker
God, the universe, nature, whatever that is for you, whatever comes down your pipeline, whatever you channel, whatever comes through your aura, I want you to really be serious and curious about what spirituality is.
00:17:15
Speaker
How do you become one with infinite intelligence, God, creator, whatever you want to call it?
00:17:20
Speaker
How do you become more spiritually connected?
Understanding Spiritual Gifts
00:17:24
Speaker
Not separated from your higher self because I've experienced very high highs and very low lows.
00:17:28
Speaker
But let me tell you something.
00:17:29
Speaker
When I'm connected to source energy, higher power, God, baby, is with me.
00:17:35
Speaker
You know, I pray so much.
00:17:36
Speaker
I probably pray four to five times a day.
00:17:40
Speaker
Like, I'm serious.
00:17:41
Speaker
Like, I pray before I see my clients.
00:17:43
Speaker
I'm a praying warrior.
00:17:44
Speaker
I pray, you know.
00:17:46
Speaker
And so I believe in that because my prayers always come through, right, more times than not.
00:17:53
Speaker
And I want you to develop a relationship with yourself.
00:17:57
Speaker
I'm not saying you got to develop prayer, but develop a spiritual powers with yourself and understand who you are through that lens.
00:18:03
Speaker
Because you can get the money, you can get the fame, you can get the relationship, you can get all these things and still feel empty.
00:18:08
Speaker
And I feel like what's missing is God, spirituality, the real truth, not the truth you project or think you should be based on what the matrix or the world is telling you.
00:18:18
Speaker
So there's a book by Sanaya Roman called Spiritual Growth.
00:18:22
Speaker
It's a great book.
00:18:23
Speaker
I just started reading.
00:18:23
Speaker
I'm probably on chapter five or six.
00:18:25
Speaker
It's so incredible.
00:18:27
Speaker
Everything I've been experiencing up into this lifetime, it's true.
00:18:31
Speaker
She talks about sending light to people that need to be healed or you might have a problem with or how sending light to someone can help them heal and give you a better relationship.
00:18:42
Speaker
I'm like, how did you do that?
00:18:44
Speaker
She talks about
00:18:45
Speaker
you know, being present, really visualizing yourself being in the most beautiful energy state and getting yourself in that energy state.
00:18:52
Speaker
And just really think of like a golden white light over your aura, right?
00:18:57
Speaker
And just see yourself sinning this person or thing, or entity, whatever it is.
00:19:02
Speaker
It could be a pet.
00:19:04
Speaker
It could be anything, right?
00:19:06
Speaker
And it could be a plant that's dying, right?
00:19:08
Speaker
Just send light to it.
00:19:09
Speaker
And it's actually sin.
00:19:11
Speaker
And it's like over time, the more you do it, you'll start seeing a change.
00:19:15
Speaker
And I was like, interested.
00:19:16
Speaker
And I'll be really transparent.
00:19:18
Speaker
I believe I have the power to send light to people and I have the power of heal people with my presence.
00:19:22
Speaker
I've really done it even by just hugging people.
00:19:24
Speaker
I know the power of my spiritual gift that God gave me.
00:19:27
Speaker
I just know.
00:19:29
Speaker
And it works if you really work it and you really understand it.
00:19:34
Speaker
So there's three quotes or messages from the book that really resonated and I want to discuss here briefly.
00:19:40
Speaker
So it says one, the first one says messages from your highest self are loving and gentle.
00:19:48
Speaker
Now, in the context of this quote or passage was coming from a place of making decisions, life decisions.
00:19:55
Speaker
And most times when we're making decisions, we're even apprehensive, we're in fear or scarcity mode, or we don't know what to do, we're kind of in limbo, indecisive.
00:20:05
Speaker
And basically what this is saying, like the message that you receive from your higher self is love and gentle, meaning that when you're making a decision and it's coming from your higher self, it's never going to feel like fear.
00:20:16
Speaker
It's not going to feel like resistance.
00:20:18
Speaker
You're not going to be in a scarcity frequency.
00:20:20
Speaker
You're going to feel light.
00:20:21
Speaker
You're going to feel love and it's going to be gentle.
00:20:24
Speaker
And you're going to know exactly what to say and when to say it and when to do it.
00:20:28
Speaker
So that's all coming through the source of being connected.
00:20:31
Speaker
Right.
00:20:31
Speaker
To source energy, to your higher self, to the spiritual realm, right?
The Power of Meditation and Prayer
00:20:38
Speaker
You can listen different.
00:20:38
Speaker
You can listen to your intuition.
00:20:40
Speaker
Like I was moved.
00:20:41
Speaker
My spirit moved me to do this podcast today.
00:20:44
Speaker
I just followed suit.
00:20:46
Speaker
And here we are.
00:20:48
Speaker
The second one is revelations usually come when you're in a relaxed state.
00:20:54
Speaker
What does that mean?
00:20:56
Speaker
Clarity, revelations, you know, things become revealed to you when you're in a relaxed state.
00:21:01
Speaker
Usually when we're in a relaxed state or meditating, we could be praying, we could be sleeping, right?
00:21:10
Speaker
We could be in a shower.
00:21:12
Speaker
We could be walking and not thinking about anything, or we could be reading a book.
00:21:15
Speaker
Very relaxed.
00:21:16
Speaker
And we get those revelations.
00:21:18
Speaker
We get those inclinations.
00:21:20
Speaker
We get those intuitive hits.
00:21:22
Speaker
We get those God thoughts.
00:21:23
Speaker
That's what I like to say.
00:21:24
Speaker
God thoughts.
00:21:25
Speaker
And spirit comes through you, works through you.
00:21:27
Speaker
It's miracle season, my brand.
00:21:28
Speaker
I tell people over and over, I literally channel this.
00:21:33
Speaker
And this message of It's Miracle Season came to me when I was in a CBS Radford studio about to go on after the final rolls to go on national TV for the first time to meet the Bachelorette.
00:21:44
Speaker
And I was in my trailer and it came to me and I kept saying it.
00:21:47
Speaker
And I will continue to say it.
00:21:49
Speaker
Shouts out to Louie, my producer.
00:21:50
Speaker
You say, hey, my boy, I think you should say that if you get on stage.
00:21:54
Speaker
And boom, It's Miracle Season was born.
00:21:55
Speaker
But it came to me.
00:21:56
Speaker
But I was in a relaxed state when I got the terminology, the phrase, the
00:22:01
Speaker
of what this is.
00:22:02
Speaker
And so I ran with it.
00:22:03
Speaker
I trusted my intuition.
00:22:04
Speaker
I trust what came through.
00:22:07
Speaker
So just know that's why it's important to meditate.
00:22:09
Speaker
They say meditation is you listening to God and praying.
00:22:15
Speaker
is talking to God.
00:22:16
Speaker
So meditation is listening to God, receiving a message, and prayer is speaking, talking to God.
00:22:23
Speaker
How interesting is that?
00:22:25
Speaker
Take that, take that, take that, right?
00:22:26
Speaker
Write that down and it might help.
00:22:29
Speaker
Last one is, the process of evolving yourself is your life purpose.
Life's Purpose and Service to Humanity
00:22:34
Speaker
The process of evolving yourself is your life purpose.
00:22:40
Speaker
And the service you came to offer humanity
00:22:45
Speaker
is your life's work.
00:22:47
Speaker
The process of evolving yourself is your life's purpose.
00:22:51
Speaker
And the service you came to offer
00:22:54
Speaker
Humanity, when you came here to offer humanity, is your life's work.
00:22:57
Speaker
How amazing is that?
00:22:58
Speaker
So that's why I believe in evolution.
00:23:00
Speaker
I believe in growing no matter what.
00:23:02
Speaker
Reading books, educating yourself, getting around people who are better, changing your environment, changing your scenery, changing how you think.
00:23:10
Speaker
Just really growing because the more you evolve yourself, it's part of your purpose.
00:23:13
Speaker
You evolve your purpose, which actually allows you to serve others differently.
00:23:18
Speaker
And humanity through whatever lens that is, whether it's teaching, whether it's coaching, training, entertainment, you being an artist, a musician, a real estate agent, a sports agent, you're still offering humanity, your life's work through the power and the energy of you evolving yourself.
00:23:37
Speaker
Right.
00:23:37
Speaker
And I think it's so crucial and it's so important.
00:23:40
Speaker
So, um,
00:23:42
Speaker
Yeah, guys, it just, you know, it just really was on my heart to do this episode.
00:23:47
Speaker
God willing, you take what you need from this and it helps you in some way.
00:23:53
Speaker
But last but not least, I want to talk about being attuned to the universe, right?
00:23:57
Speaker
Talk about a little about spiritual growth and all the books I read and some seminars I've taken and courses I've purchased and personal development and all those things through my spirit as I've grown.
00:24:09
Speaker
I have healers.
00:24:10
Speaker
I have astrologers.
00:24:11
Speaker
I have people that help me on my journey become more of a
00:24:15
Speaker
authentic human being.
00:24:16
Speaker
And that's also, I didn't mention, but that's why astrology is important to me, numerology, human design, Myers-Briggs, disaccessment, all these things are good because they're only going to help you grow because you're getting more downloads, information, and awareness about who you are in this lifetime, right?
00:24:36
Speaker
And how you should show up or how you already shown up without you knowing.
00:24:41
Speaker
But I really want to
00:24:44
Speaker
Talk about a minute being attuned to the universe.
Manifesting Desires
00:24:46
Speaker
So I believe, and look, I'm using the word believe.
00:24:51
Speaker
Believing and knowing is two different things.
00:24:54
Speaker
However, I believe that the word or the entity of the emotion of belief is the prerequisite for knowing.
00:25:03
Speaker
So I
00:25:05
Speaker
You ever think about something that's like, watch this happen.
00:25:08
Speaker
Oh, I know this person is lying.
00:25:10
Speaker
Oh, I know this is going to happen.
00:25:12
Speaker
I know.
00:25:12
Speaker
And then you keep saying it.
00:25:13
Speaker
And guess what happens?
00:25:14
Speaker
And you're like, I knew it.
00:25:16
Speaker
I knew it.
00:25:17
Speaker
Like, you know, but you said it.
00:25:20
Speaker
Right?
00:25:20
Speaker
It was such a certainty and conviction and strength about that, knowing that there was no question in your mind.
00:25:26
Speaker
You see, the difference is with belief, your beliefs can change.
00:25:29
Speaker
Right?
00:25:29
Speaker
Some of your beliefs might change after this podcast.
00:25:33
Speaker
Hopefully for the good.
00:25:34
Speaker
So sometimes when you're sitting still and you're thinking about what you want and what you need out of life, let's just say for me, right?
00:25:43
Speaker
I'll give you the hokers story.
00:25:45
Speaker
I bought two pair of hokers probably at the end of 2021, I believe.
00:25:52
Speaker
Probably had them for like a year.
00:25:54
Speaker
And then probably like six months after that, PR agency, ASEON PR, shout out to them.
00:26:00
Speaker
They would send me just free hoker sneakers.
00:26:02
Speaker
And then I started getting sneakers and just shooting content in them, posting them, tagging them on Instagram.
00:26:07
Speaker
And I said, you know what?
00:26:08
Speaker
I'm going to get me a hoker deal.
00:26:11
Speaker
Give me a Hoka deal.
00:26:12
Speaker
I'm going to manifest a Hoka deal.
00:26:14
Speaker
Watch.
00:26:14
Speaker
This is what I said to myself.
00:26:15
Speaker
Watch.
00:26:15
Speaker
I get a Hoka deal.
00:26:17
Speaker
So the first thing I did was I went to my agent and said, hey, is there any opportunity for me to go audition for a Hoka campaign for a print job?
00:26:23
Speaker
She's like, oh, Eric, unfortunately, no.
00:26:26
Speaker
Usually you got to be between 5'11", 6'0", and the sample size is a size 10 or 11.
00:26:31
Speaker
You're 6'2", 6'3", you're a size 12.
00:26:33
Speaker
So I'm like, damn.
00:26:35
Speaker
Granted, I could have just gave up hope.
00:26:37
Speaker
I was like, nope.
00:26:38
Speaker
Watch.
00:26:39
Speaker
I'm going to get a Hoka deal.
00:26:41
Speaker
And little do you know, 2023, July 2023, I get the email.
00:26:47
Speaker
Well, maybe a month before that, I get the email.
00:26:49
Speaker
Hey, we would love to do a paid partnership opportunity with you and Hoka.
00:26:54
Speaker
Are you open?
00:26:56
Speaker
Oh, baby, this is what I need.
00:26:58
Speaker
Yes!
00:26:59
Speaker
But I bought the sneakers in 2021.
00:27:02
Speaker
It took almost like a year and a half to get a brand deal.
00:27:05
Speaker
But I told myself, watch, I'm going to get a Hoka deal.
00:27:08
Speaker
And that's what I did.
00:27:08
Speaker
But I was in tune to myself, my higher self, that knowing to put that energy out on the universe and it manifested.
00:27:17
Speaker
And so I've done it in several opportunities, several ways where
00:27:21
Speaker
You know, my spirit of telling me when to post something like today, you need to post this with that, say this and say that.
00:27:28
Speaker
Or if I'm creating content for a brand, I'll get a download of how I should shoot it, what I should wear, who I should contact, who should be in it.
00:27:37
Speaker
And an interesting thing about the Hoka campaign, last story, and we wrap it up, is I was in need of a videographer.
00:27:46
Speaker
So I hired one.
00:27:47
Speaker
The day before the actual, it was a 5K scavenger hunt in Los Angeles for Hoka.
00:27:55
Speaker
The day before the event, the videographer counsel said he had a family emergency.
00:28:00
Speaker
And I'm like, man, all right.
00:28:02
Speaker
So what did I do?
00:28:05
Speaker
What do I know?
00:28:06
Speaker
I know if I go to God and pray, he going to bring me a blessing.
00:28:09
Speaker
So I'm in my car and I'm like,
00:28:11
Speaker
Man, I'm anxious because they're paying me good money.
Facing Challenges with Spiritual Guidance
00:28:14
Speaker
I'm like, I want to do it good.
00:28:15
Speaker
I want to be great at this.
00:28:16
Speaker
I want this to be a thing.
00:28:19
Speaker
I just prayed, like, God, just send me the right person, a phenomenal videographer that can really, really just, just, just, please, please send me the right one that's going to make this campaign so phenomenal, be in alignment.
00:28:34
Speaker
Oh, I forgot the actual details of the prayer, but it was something around those lenss.
00:28:39
Speaker
And I remember I was listening to my spirit, but here you go, Intuition.
00:28:44
Speaker
Intuition said, oh, reach out to Demario.
00:28:46
Speaker
Demario is always shooting content.
00:28:47
Speaker
I'm pretty sure you have the video.
00:28:48
Speaker
So I text my boy Demario.
00:28:50
Speaker
Shouts out to Debo.
00:28:52
Speaker
And I said, Debo, you got a videographer, photographer?
00:28:55
Speaker
He's like, I did.
00:28:55
Speaker
He's my boy, Alvin.
00:28:56
Speaker
He's dope.
00:28:57
Speaker
Hit him up.
00:28:58
Speaker
Boom.
00:29:00
Speaker
Hit him up.
00:29:01
Speaker
He came to the shoot.
00:29:03
Speaker
And we made magic happen.
00:29:05
Speaker
It was miracle season.
00:29:06
Speaker
You know what I mean?
00:29:07
Speaker
And it was like, wow.
00:29:09
Speaker
Someone, though, we did a million dollar commercial with his lens.
00:29:11
Speaker
But that was me working through spirit, trusting myself, being connected to the universe in higher power, praying to God.
00:29:18
Speaker
As you see in these stories, God has always been in my life and has helped me manifest
Building Spiritual Currency
00:29:23
Speaker
my dreams.
00:29:23
Speaker
So today, the takeaway is for you to realize who your God is.
00:29:28
Speaker
How do you serve it?
00:29:29
Speaker
What's your relationship with it?
00:29:31
Speaker
And how do you build up your spirit?
00:29:35
Speaker
And you add to your spiritual currency, right?
