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