Introduction and Welcome
00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome back to the Connected Minds podcast. Today we have Brandon Thomas, the one and only, back again, one of the most inspiring and radiant human beings I have had the pleasure to meet. Brandon, thanks for coming back on, bro.
00:00:18
Speaker
Brother, always a pleasure. Thank you so much. All those things apply to you as well. So I'm just a mirror to you, you see. But thank you so much. I'm open to receive those. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Let me ask you some some serious questions before we get into the more fun stuff. Sure. Why have I never seen a baby pigeon?
00:00:40
Speaker
I like the yes, the hard hitting stuff right up top here. Yeah, let's get into that because one idea would be that because birds in general and specifically pigeons,
Humor and Conspiracy Theories
00:00:50
Speaker
this urban dwelling rat with wings as it's affectionately recalled, could be one idea is just government spy drones and that birds aren't real. And I love this. Have you seen these people that do this?
00:01:04
Speaker
I love it, it's one of my, they have a whole van that they drive around. If you'd allow me to share screen, I can actually make this more fun for your visual audience. We don't have screen sharing. Oh, shit. Okay, well, you gotta take my word for it that there are some amazing
00:01:18
Speaker
pictures and videos out there and diagrams working the inner workings of birds that also, and by the way, it's funny you mentioned this on a expansive insider conversation. Recently we have a series over there called frequency theorists. We do it with a bunch of musicians. It's a lot of fun. And on there, of course, hard hitting stuff straight out the gate. We talk about this very thing, our birds real and whatever. And we have a lot of fun with it, which of course led us to articles where they've actually absolutely taken carcasses of birds and animated them into flying
00:01:46
Speaker
things that can fly around. And then as well, this is like a technology of people doing this in their backyard. I've seen people make like drones out of their cats. You know what I mean? They'll take a taxidermy cat and make a drone out of it. Not saying I condone it, but it's something I have. I am aware of this integration of technology and I guess biology, but also you can scale that down because as we on the episode started diving into it, they're down to microscopic organisms, of course, or mimicking microscopic organisms.
00:02:13
Speaker
as well as you know things down to mosquitoes with numbers on them and stuff like that like all that's absolutely legit so this thought of like that oh no they're listening to me on my phone maybe but what about the swarm of mosquitoes that are government spy drones or flock of birds out your window that really can. See into your bedroom it's all thermal sensing you know and then they can hear everything and so that's perhaps one reason why you have not seen a baby pigeon which i have not either by the way.
00:02:41
Speaker
Yeah, it's like I went on DuckDuckGo and I typed in baby pigeon, bro, and some of these pictures that you see are absolute fucking Frankensteinian abominations. There's no way in hell those are real birds, okay? You know, but to be fair, we have a ranch. We've hatched a lot of animals out here, and when they're young, yeah, they don't look like what they're going to look like. Yeah, the nasty property. Like these pictures, if those are real,
00:03:10
Speaker
Oh yeah okay that's a nasty look at that thing you know but they look more like seagulls in the beak yeah is there it's odd that they kind of I guess they sort of I mean of course the feathers fill in and all that and that down gets dropped off but yeah I don't know man I'm gonna call CGI on this one I'm looking at for sure that's fake this is sexy birds are fake man this is all just for sure yeah
00:03:33
Speaker
And I feel so psyoped because as a kid, back when we were living in South Africa, I loved ornithology. And I would beg my parents to buy me these massive books on birds. And I had this massive pair of binoculars that I could barely hold up. Because we have tons of different birds, excuse me, governments, spy drones coming to our garden, guinea fowl, and various kind of things. But I could barely hold these binoculars up. But I love that shit, bro. I love birds.
00:04:03
Speaker
Adorable to picture you with these oversized huge heavy binoculars, which for a normal human being would just be whatever but you're such a wee little
Podcast Milestones and Guests
00:04:10
Speaker
Christian running around I picture you in like Lederhosen probably or something like that for some reason and a little butterflies flying around and everything like that But yeah ornithology is Latin for the study of government spy drones. I don't know I believe I mean, it's just simple you can see the root ornae government spy thology drones
00:04:30
Speaker
Right. And of course, government is Latin for mind control government, which is actually absolutely true. So I believe the listeners should know this already. Yeah, we're just having fun. Yeah. But yeah, there's a van that drives around birds aren't real. This guy's been on the news, everything. So I'm all about it. I support his mission of at least.
00:04:49
Speaker
asking questions. I'm a big fan of that, so I say more power to you, buddy. Go for it. It's got us talking about it, and it's great. Totally. Big congrats on your 200th episode, which you published a couple weeks ago, with Dave Z, Human Vibration, Crow Triple 7, Dr. Dan Winter, and Elizabeth Donovan. I listened to that yesterday, and to be honest, I have no idea what the fuck you all were talking about.
00:05:14
Speaker
I believe the gist of it was that something about charge collapses, the source of gravity and consciousness, and the implosion of megantropic forces in the longitudinal arrays discombobulates the etheric skippity bumps and whatnot, something like that. Nailed it. Nailed it. Nailed it. Yeah. Yeah. It's like you should write our blog, man. That's perfect synopsis for the episode. That's outstanding.
00:05:37
Speaker
Yeah, well, what exactly were you talking about? Dr. Dan Winter and Dave Z, these guys are just on a whole other level, man. What were you talking about? Yeah. Well, first of all, yes, they are on a whole other level. And that episode is titled, What is Real? And of course, we had human vibration. I mean, all of these folks independently are juggernauts of insight on their own, of just the orders of magnitude beyond, right? But this is my superpower. I'm a magnet for incredible people.
00:06:06
Speaker
Whenever you combine human vibration who again i mean on her own amazing crow triple seven same thing amazing and somebody wrote in and said actually crow didn't really do panels so i don't even know how the hell you got him on that thing but yeah he had a great time and everything was awesome. And then i'm dave said of course runs generation zed podcast amazing that i spent about nine days at our home.
00:06:27
Speaker
And he was he was supposed to spend four had such a good time we extended it you know and he was like hey can i say i'm like fuck yeah but the whole time this dude's here he's on his belly in my living room you know with the his computer looking up and researching papers with math. Absolute math with this thick ass notebook where he's just taking notes like crazy on these math papers.
00:06:47
Speaker
And it was fascinating because every time he wasn't in an obligation or a commitment, which was about five or six a day and him and I did a lot of shows together during that time period. We had him on with Elsa Dylan. We also talked to Sean Cahill. He was a 20 year veteran of the military. He's a Navy guy. He was on the USS Nimitz whenever that.
00:07:06
Speaker
you know triangle or that tic tac thing happened and just an awesome do like beyond that location where is the site is. Accreditation or whatever awesome fucking conversation so we had all these great talks with dave in town. Even that like to niche down into dave a little more while he was here.
00:07:22
Speaker
We would sit there in the evenings and, you know, uh, connect with Mary Jane. And like, after it was all sitting down to me, it's like, you know, late at night, we've, we've been up for
Journey and Insights of Podcasting
00:07:30
Speaker
15, 16 hours crushing at this in our own little ways, but also together. And then, uh, we would sit there with a huge notepad, like a big.
00:07:37
Speaker
piece of paper thing with a with a set of colored pens and just draw reality man and this these conversations just got so damn deep dude. And then dad doctor Dan winter of course absolutely fascinating his work is insane he's actually living in France.
00:07:53
Speaker
I think you're somewhere over in that way, because he's not allowed in the States. There was something wild, like there's some issue with his work and being in the States. So he needed to go to France to remain, I believe, able to do his work is what it sounds like. Something like that. Yeah. Like a legit amazing, deep in amazing stuff. His fractalfield.com, his
00:08:14
Speaker
It's amazing. It's one of those old HTML things. It's a little bit confusing, but it needs to be that way for it to be untrackable and stuff. So it's fascinating just the lives these people lead and the information, the way that they give it to. Incredible. Yeah. And Elizabeth Donovan, same thing. Fascinating. One of the most brilliant electrical engineers ever. And so you put all those people together and you start saying, what is real? And you get some really interesting answers.
00:08:36
Speaker
Yeah, I have the Fractal Field website open from earlier today and some of these graphics and illustrations. I'm going to spend a day at some point in June, July, just going all over this and just absorbing it, but I have
00:09:00
Speaker
misspent two decades of my life, bro. I've just wasted two decades of my life. Maybe. I don't think so. I don't see it that way. And this is one of the beautiful things about coming to epiphanies because epiphanies, I had somebody
Transcending Societal Limitations
00:09:10
Speaker
on then Laurel Erica, who's another person I've got to get you connected with you. This is just, you know, again, another conversation of a bunch of people you've got to connect with.
00:09:17
Speaker
And what she was talking about was an epiphany is a sudden recognition of the obvious that's her definition for it her thing is word magic and she's beautiful. I don't know what the ironically i don't know what the fancy word for somebody speaks big words are but it's a little sister something like that anyway.
00:09:35
Speaker
she was talking about this that it's it's a recognition of the obvious so that's what's so great about it it's it's always been there right. But whenever you look at it and are able to talk to other folks who are doing very nice research research on some very interesting things but then you're able to scale up with the entourage effect for everything that. You accumulated over the time and wish you could have gotten back that you wouldn't have been able to get to the understanding you have now with the information presented to you had you not gone through the twenty years in which you wish you could have gotten or lived
00:10:05
Speaker
Differently that's the ironic part about all of this shit you come to these awarenesses and say ah fuck I what could I do with this now that I have the time you know or now that I have the awareness what would time look like so then we're I feel automatically bound it to a Reality in which as we come to awareness as we feel that they are misused because we don't have the air quotes time to enjoy them right which is again, maybe just a
00:10:32
Speaker
uh... part of the program perhaps if we get to a new awareness that then we say whenever we get to new awareness is it's like a fountain of youth for our biology and whenever we hit these awareness is new new neurons are being connected which then tells my body it can heal in ways that i never even thought were possible before and this is all probably within you already it's just a mindset of limitation that keeps us bound to limitation and so one thing that i've been mindful of is being limitless like absolutely shunning limits in all sorts of ways
00:11:01
Speaker
Even down to the effect of that I'm not ruling out that we're going to have like superpowers here, like that you're going to see in maybe a decade or two. People flying around shooting laser beams out of their hands and shit. Like I'm not relegating any of this because the limitations that were put on me on all of us, but me specifically from my perspective is why I'm speaking in this way. They told me that there's a certain set of rules here, but also I've been breaking rules since I popped out my mom's vagina. You know what I mean?
00:11:28
Speaker
There's very few limits that i experience in my everyday anyway just simply because i'm my curiosity is this much more than my fear. And as long as it remains that i'm gonna be constantly pushing those boundaries of what is possible and by that we stretch then our feeling of what limitations really are in my mind.
00:11:48
Speaker
Okay, so actually, that's a cool thread to actually develop a bit. What are some ways that we could, I suppose, grow beyond our limitation? I know we discussed it just before we started recording that. Some folks, including myself, we have
00:12:10
Speaker
We've inherited some some mindset, you know, like this poverty or not necessarily poverty mindset, but this lack mindset where everything has to be hard. You have to work really hard to be successful and sort of the stigma of, you know, having wealth and success that, you know, how did you acquire that? It usually
00:12:32
Speaker
the mistaken notion that it's acquired through sort of less than good, well-intentioned means, which is obviously bullshit. How does one begin to transcend these limitations that were in some ways inherited or self-imposed, would you say? You realize your power, which is an outstanding question, Christian.
00:12:57
Speaker
You realize your power that you are a deliberate creator in this moment and when you decide that then you just decide that all of the things that you see around you were created by you in a sense to make you aware that you're a deliberate creator. Think of that everything that you've done experience seen heard felt all of that stuff that you felt happened to you were to get you to the point in your life to where you realize that you created all of that for you.
00:13:22
Speaker
Now, with that understanding, that's a whole different chapter, right? That doesn't bring in the old ways of thinking to solve new problems, which what Einstein was talking about, you can't solve new problems with the old way of thinking, right? And so with that even understanding, to get to that point, there's a whole decompression process of bringing forward your new way of thinking, even with this current understanding. We can be as aware and as love and light and as awesome as we want to be about it, but until you embody what it means to be that,
00:13:51
Speaker
Excuse me it's a whole different game so from that perspective then i would say that the embodiment of is far more important than the awareness now. By saying that then we say okay well how can we look around our lives and see limitations within our reality or feel that we see limitations and this oblige them altogether.
00:14:11
Speaker
There's an awesome book i don't have it in front of me it's out there in the other room but i'm called this obliging reality and it's by a guy named dr frank jesus act there's a lot of seasons ease and use together in that but frank jesus act. Disobliging reality list of mine is a dear friend we write these amazing like he comes up these incredible theories and says it just blows my mind all the time this is the dude that recommended this book now it's a ninety five page.
00:14:36
Speaker
Jazuzak yeah, thank you. It's a 95 page read and this man lost his wife and figured that he could not
00:14:45
Speaker
conceptualize of a reality without her because his entire reality was with her before she passed. So to do so he unwrote everything that he thought about reality. Now in this book it's so well written, it's clever, but there's no bullshit, there's no fluff, there's no like anything that doesn't need to be there and does not and the things that are in there you appreciate because it shows his personality. The
00:15:07
Speaker
dialogue that goes on with that man and what he feels he's presenting with his understanding of awareness is where. That i feel the answer to your question lies this is where you can this oblige reality in a very big way to where you just. You unsubscribe from things in your life.
00:15:24
Speaker
Physically you can also do so emotionally by withdrawing your attention from things to then stop perpetuating which shows you that you have a Limitless capability of filtering the information which affects you from the outer now you'll get to a point where you realize it and I'll let you know when I get there I've dabbled in it and it feels great but not
00:15:47
Speaker
Embodied a hundred percent, but I don't even know if that's possible either
Critique of Education and Authentic Living
00:15:50
Speaker
way I digress that you'll get to a point to where it doesn't embody you don't embody it at all You just see it's your okay observer mode and then let it float off But even that in itself is another recognition of limitation, right? So with this what you do is you you're mindful. What I would say is that you number one. It's all gratitude It's all grateful, right? so you're great you go internally and absolutely grateful for everything you got the next thing would be a
00:16:13
Speaker
is take inventory on all the wonderful things that you have in your home through that gratitude i am sure that my water is gonna turn on every time i turn that faucet on i'm sure that i've got a warm shirt to wear if it's cold i'm sure that i've got a warm blankets cover me tonight and a roof to do so right so these certainties in gratitude,
00:16:30
Speaker
Create a vibration now from that vibration you'll start to realize that really you have so much more boundless things in your environment to be grateful for then you do limitations and really the one of the limitations you'll find is that you have so much shit that it's pretty limiting on if you want to maybe branch out and be a little bit more mobile or transient right so there are all these beautiful awareness is it show you that limitations.
00:16:53
Speaker
perhaps exist in your life but really the big ones are simply because we've just been told that. Let's say for instance as we unravel maybe that this place is in a spinning ball in space or perhaps that some can perceive it that way but that's not a ubiquitous experience for all and that maybe this is more of a realm it's a experience as you go sort of a thing if you do expect a ball to render you if you get into a rocket it will do so those kinds of things but let's say that even on that level gravity and all of the
00:17:21
Speaker
Sciences that they're talking about out here depend on that Newtonian model of cause and effect motion physics all of these things But when you introduce quantum physics into that it changed everything so nothing behaves that way anymore and so now they even separate them, but the the latter is Predicated on the former is predicated on the latter the Newtonian is predicated on the quantum Which means that even those ideas are just ideas at a level which means that they're just observations because then we know that
00:17:47
Speaker
You can collapse a waveform by just simply expecting to see it which is what we get the placebo effect from and all of these ways of mentally manipulating your reality and data. Which can then be shared in agreed upon because it's visible right and repeatable based on your expectation for it to be so.
00:18:03
Speaker
When you look at all of these things, then you say, well, perhaps limitations are just the limits of the observer because there are a lot of stories of these Qigong masters who can create heat in their hand and set paper on fire a distance away from them. It has been witnessed and documented thousands and thousands of cases. There are interesting things when these monks as well are.
00:18:23
Speaker
I guess when they pass on their physical body they have crystals in their heart and this is like something that's incredible and that's they save these things are in little they're like relics for saints or something to this related to this tradition. But either way there physiological things a challenge but change but what am I what are we saying here is that man or that entity super powerful and they are alone the one that can do it and if so what is that.
00:18:48
Speaker
At its core what i think the what is that is he didn't believe he couldn't and so if you really think about that it's all believe right where is with this in movies it's around you all the time it's been within you all along and it's true but not to the hokey way in which they would like for you to disregard it by being so.
00:19:05
Speaker
So these people who are putting their hands in boulders and melting rock and stuff like that, you're all capable of that. It's the ones out there going nuh uh, that it's not going, that it's going to be a bigger struggle for. And that's just the reality of it. If you're out there just going nuh uh, then maybe you will be able to do this later whenever you can get over the fact that there are probably some miraculous things out here that you are capable of. And maybe you realize that what we're doing here is empowering you to seek that rather than limiting you
00:19:33
Speaker
the program that's been installed that we all got installed we've all been working our own virus scanners up there and removing all sorts of shit my trash is filled an empty daily on my computer mentally right it's like no that no longer serves that no longer serves and especially when you get to the conversation again being limited.
00:19:52
Speaker
because i found that you know i had a lot of things go through my mind when i quit my job my stable absolute matrix job to just go you know what i've essentially was felt was playing podcaster for a little bit but i didn't feel limited in my ability and that was the biggest thing of it you know i don't believe in a lot of things here but i absolutely believe as i am safe and cared for in every moment in time and point in space so if i know that then i'm not limited in any way in my mind.
00:20:20
Speaker
So with these, you have little tests of your beliefs and limitations. And then what you do is you test those limitations. So just actionable thing after actionable thing, play with it in a way to where
00:20:34
Speaker
If it feels uncomfortable, but exciting, absolutely fucking try it out. Like you should run towards what scares you. If there's something that you feel you can't do, reevaluate that with more awareness. And it's those things, like let's say out there, one great example is a Rubik's Cube. If there may be people out there who can solve a Rubik's Cube, maybe can't, challenge yourself to make learning how to solve a Rubik's Cube in any way you want. Not as fast as you want, just get from fucked up to organized. That's it.
00:21:00
Speaker
Do that skill and you'll see that you aren't limited in any way you know again people that are triggered always got a lot of buttons on it just sit with this for a minute and and realize that those are triggers of limitation you know anything you can think that you want to do figure out where your limits lie by your triggers are you are you originally from Texas.
00:21:19
Speaker
Yes, sir. Okay. That's why I have a spot on impression. Okay, so you add that twang. Yeah. But you don't talk like with a, I suppose it has such a big state that... Well, I can. I used to kid. I used to kid. We have a non-regional diction, I suppose, is what it said. But there are still many words that I'll say like oil. I usually say oil when I'm talking about that. And foil, we say foil. And the dirt outside is called soul.
00:21:49
Speaker
And it's just easier for me to say it that way. So usually I will. My wife always points it out and she's adorable. Like instead of pinch, I say peach just because it's more fun for me. I don't know. Peaches as well. They're not peaches. They're peaches. It's the same thing. I'm just fucking with you.
00:22:11
Speaker
I remember I was in the car with my dad. I was maybe 10, 11 years of age or something like that.
00:22:20
Speaker
He was driving me home from school and I said something. I remember this a few days ago, this memory, and you know
Childhood Beliefs and Development
00:22:30
Speaker
how something happens and then later on, maybe days or weeks or that same day or months later, you come up with a better answer and you could put yourself back in that spot. You were like, oh man, that would have been so good if I had that retort or that answer.
00:22:47
Speaker
So anyway, I remember we were in the car with my dad, and I was like, again, 10, 11 years of age, and I said, dad, you know, I believe anything is possible in this world, in this life, something like that, you know? What do you think? And he's like, at first he was like,
00:23:05
Speaker
you know, yeah, well, do I feel, do I think like the car can just like fly off right now over there? No. I said like, why not? Chitty, chitty bang bang, dude. So, but like, that sort of really like, that's not what I fucking needed to hear at that time, man. As a child, you have to like, this, and this is where even my dad said it to me, I remember more than a decade ago, 15 years ago,
00:23:29
Speaker
He said, you know, maybe, hopefully you won't make the same mistakes as a parent that I did and you'll be a much better dad than me. And, you know, that's always been my, we already talked about this of Mike, that's my, and my wife, we consciously,
00:23:48
Speaker
try to transcend the limitations that our parents had to try to be better in some ways obviously will there will be always mistakes you gonna make and stuff but if i if i could put myself back in the car at that time say,
00:24:01
Speaker
Like that's not what I mean, that's not what I mean, you're a muppet. I'm talking philosophically fucking speaking. You know what I mean? I'm talking philosophically anything is possible. Like I'm trying to inspire you. I'm trying to be inspired here, you dumbass. Then the question is, I don't mean to interrupt, but then the question is, is would you go back and say that or would you go back with the knowledge you have now and never have asked the question? So therefore you wouldn't have been disappointed by the answer you knew your father would give.
00:24:28
Speaker
That's a very good question. That's a very good point. I don't know. I think everything happens for a reason, but I think my point is when
00:24:43
Speaker
This is how we learn limitations. I remember I was in Spain, I was working for my dad in his construction business. So I was working as a do everything boy, bring me this, bring me that to all the construction workers there. I was carrying all sorts of shit, mixing cement and mortar and carrying bricks. And I remember
00:25:07
Speaker
One we were living with a couple of other families and what one of the other the guys that I was working with his daughter she was like in her late 20s and she said that Her dad told her if you don't Save as much money as you can by the time you have kids you're fucked you will never have money in your life and then
00:25:33
Speaker
I'm like, Jesus, what a horrible thing to like imprint on your child that your stupid, silly little belief that you have. And then on the other hand, my dad would tell me things like when we were like maybe teenagers, like 13, 14 with my sister, he said, you know, I would never have thought that after having children, I could make so much money and do so many businesses and do so well financially. So like for me,
00:26:01
Speaker
I never had that limiting belief that having children will fuck up my career, my ability to make money, you know what I mean? Whereas my wife, on the other hand, she's got obviously women, maternity leave, she had to stop her ballet teaching business, and she had to start from scratch again this year, or last year, was it? Yeah, last year.
00:26:23
Speaker
So she's seen, so she's kind of, it seems like circumstantial things along with the imprinting from your parents or influential people can definitely create, sort of put us in these tunnel visions for specific things. And this is where I feel like if we can hack out of this, whatever way it is, what you already discussed, I took some notes, I definitely have to reflect on these things.
00:26:49
Speaker
Which you already said I think are some some great strategies to begin to unravel those threads, bro Yeah, it's what it's all about but you've nailed it with this dude You've nailed it with that It's just something that was you you have an observation of the difference of what it means to be raised with a different mentality in your home You are not limited by that belief and therefore you're thriving right with that with that with that in mind with yeah Why wouldn't we be able to do that? You know, it's a
00:27:13
Speaker
it's it's odd for you to be presented with that as a limitation from your partner but your partner. Has a very different view the same view in opposition to you where it's just miraculous that you don't have that thing what is that feel like and that's where you can both really be there for each other not taking on the things
Overcoming Personal Barriers
00:27:30
Speaker
that the program that she was but to help her from your perspective of healed. From that perspective with that.
00:27:37
Speaker
then unraveling those with her from a safe place and saying, Hey, look, here's, here's my lineage as example of this. Like you married, right? You know, nothing else. Just be confidence and be confident in your decision-making ability for your partner. Right. But that may call in a bunch of other triggers. I don't know. Uh, or have they ever been divorced? Yeah.
00:27:54
Speaker
OK, so maybe skip that one. But what I mean to say is, is let's unravel one thing at a time, right? You're very fucking lucid, bro. You're like, I like that. Pathetic. I see you. No, no, no. You caught yourself mid-sentence where there's intricacies involved because a lot of people just continue plowing on. And then you tell them, oh, yeah, but that won't work. So you know what I mean? Like, you're thinking why you're thinking why you're talking. I mean, it's fucking I love that.
00:28:24
Speaker
I'll take it. I'm in flow. I'm out of my way is what it is. I'm a channel for the muse, my highest and best, the one I'm most proud of is the one that steps in at these times. So thank you, open to receive. Yeah, but that unraveling there can occur from that safe place. Now my wife and I had very different
00:28:41
Speaker
experiences and what you guys have. We both were installed with that program of exactly what you're talking about. And it's still a process, to be honest with you. We're still unraveling those things. There's turning points that we're reaching all the time, and awareness is that we are together reaching all the time. It's one of those things, though, that I wasn't willing to go ahead and spring forward and move on without my wife. And so like you, this is ride or die. We've done this many times together. My wife and I have done these lifetimes many times together.
00:29:08
Speaker
This is just another one where it's different more exciting and we get to meet some really cool people in this one so together we are we are moving at that place and it's wonderful if we stop for a little bit and we want to smell some flowers and re.
00:29:24
Speaker
Those memories into our lives to reinterpret again from this moment of now and that's fine that's a process that we will do with patience love and grace and we continue to do so but we do it together. Because it's never and you know this with your wife it's not you versus her it's you and her versus the problem if there's anything to be gleaned from that but it's really the way i see it's not a versus anything there is no bad guy here in my mind pat my hand shout out but really it's you and her that have the opportunity in disguise.
00:29:51
Speaker
as a problem so it's just disguised as something which feels more like a question than a problem than a problem at that point right so that's that's really just this embodiment of not getting caught up really just in the character but then like you said being able to unravel together that's that's a fascinating
00:30:09
Speaker
Experience that you both have blessed for her blessed for you to be able to be humbled by that perspective but also what a beautiful thing for your children to be raised in as well that learning environments where. There's a physical model in their lives of healing and growing together occurring at the same rate minus some limitations so there's some interesting corollaries going on there it's a fascinating environment you got going on it's beautiful and proud of you.
00:30:33
Speaker
Thank you, buddy. It's very interesting. Having a child is such an enriching experience, man. The other day, we're talking
00:30:49
Speaker
Our daughter, she's 20 months, just over a year and a half, and she's there sitting in her high chair, and she's eating her yogurt on her own. And today, my wife gave her a fork and a little kitty knife, and she's like, do you want to cut your banana up yourself? And she's there chopping at this freaking banana. And I remember,
00:31:15
Speaker
You know, my nephews would still be spoon fed when they were three years old, you know what I mean? I don't know, like it's me and my wife. Well, I mean, the challenges, of course, we have plenty of other challenges, but it's like, you know what I mean? Like how fast they develop and how incredibly smart and aware they are of everything. It just
00:31:37
Speaker
changes all your perceptions about again and this is again limit I guess the the question of limitations what did we learn is a limitation like if you if you're spoon feeding this child until they're like three years of age four years of age god knows if you're cutting it up if you're putting a sheep she puts her dude she puts her own
00:31:59
Speaker
shoes on. She puts her own freaking shoes on. She can put her flip flops on. She can put her slip on shoes. She's even trying to put the little velcro strap. And so if you were getting your shoes tied, putting everything, you're getting dressed for 10 years. You could literally train a person that for the first 10 years of their life, they will have to be dressed by you. You just have to do it for you. It's faster. You learn
00:32:27
Speaker
the limitations of the world through these
Healthy Lifestyle and Routines
00:32:30
Speaker
initial experiences. I feel like this is the opportunity we have right now is to basically not allow our previously acquired limitations to become a part of another person's life.
00:32:53
Speaker
It's very important and what you say is so fucking important, especially for those parents who maybe limit and this is just the truth of it because like you said, there's a lot of influencers so.
00:33:04
Speaker
Let's just stick with the home for for now that the parents themselves have a lot of limitations of their casting on those children unbeknownst to them so it's not even something they're consciously doing it's part of that ninety five subconscious programming that. Parents sometimes can get into this state of vulnerable awareness and you're in this hypersensitivity state almost like a psychedelic state or like a traumatic event or something.
00:33:24
Speaker
where all of your senses are heightened and so to where you're just receiving a lot of information the best you can with the information you have at the time and then passing that on in a. Hurried exhausted manner now i will say this before i say anything else about parents i am not one in the physical reality i'm a great observer of relationships and corollaries and systems but i'm don't have.
00:33:44
Speaker
the interpersonal bond between a child and myself as parents do with theirs but again i can see the value in it having been one and been raised by one and you know all of those things so with that in mind. What are the interesting things again is that these limitations are cast on your children by you not you specifically but the but folks unconsciously because again that they're not even aware that they're doing it so this is where you as a parent take inventory on all the things that you're exposing your child to are you,
00:34:12
Speaker
still upset that your president didn't win and are you still yelling at a tv for information or information air quotes coming out at you constantly and that your child is seeing that and seeing that it should also be upset at that this particular person didn't win because there's a lot of baggage that these kids want to take on because you're willing to give it to them.
00:34:31
Speaker
So the biggest thing is isn't isn't probably to shelter them from the realities of the world it's not to teach your toddler about a mortgage it's not necessary for their development right it's unnecessary information and as much as parents feel that they were told that they need to prepare their kids in these ways. Perhaps it's just an idea that you've been taken on and maybe it's just another thing from the program that was offered just as it was to your parents it's just gonna be packaged differently and needs to be updated right.
00:34:58
Speaker
apps are updated constantly so are perception managed events that then change the dynamics of the home to direct this to the directive of the state that will. Kindly put it move on.
00:35:10
Speaker
What I will say to that then is that inventory on everything is very important. And this is again, when you go within, this is where you perhaps start looking around at the things and it's not like, oh, I can't cuss in front of my kids. No, if you want to have an authentic relationship with your children about language and the way you speak, absolutely do that. These are again, limitations that you report put on and that, you know, some words are icky, but again, those are your limitations. So taking inventory of those, but being very real, very real about not putting your opinions and your shit on your kids.
00:35:41
Speaker
That I feel is one of the biggest changes of parents today that I'm seeing being made by folks like you. Spencer, again, the list goes on of these incredible folks who were on a network with listeners as well. Please reach out to Christian for more information on that. He'll get everybody connected. And we've got these amazing networks that are coming together that are driven by this goal of not limiting your children in any way. And what a lot of that is, is withdrawing the energies from the systems that we've been investigating, investing in,
00:36:09
Speaker
that have facilitated the greatest amount of that, which would be, you know, uh, dr edith and butru can just had her on. So got to send her a shout out. I highly recommend everybody check out luminous education. That's her website. She has an incredible network that we have a lot of work that we're very excited to get going on. And one of the things she's talking about here is the school education program and what they do. And one, one thing that her child came home and said, mom, I don't, you know, I was working on this engineering thing. He's like building blocks and stuff. This incredibly,
00:36:38
Speaker
bright child, her child reads with a blindfold on, knows crazy amounts of things. Definitely, this is why I'm skipping over it real quick, but highly investigate this thing if you'd like listeners. But to that, the kid will say, why do I have to raise my hand when I have to pee? It's uncomfortable for me to sit there with a full bladder when I need to pee. Why can't I just go when I need to go?
00:36:59
Speaker
The other thing is, he was sitting there building something, but it's so regimented and scheduled that every hour or 57 minutes, something where you just miss flow, or where you can get right into flow and then it's interrupted, and then they'll bing, and then you go to history, and then bing, and then you go over here. So this regimented learning, it forms a mentality, and that mentality then forms a persona, and that is one that's easily guided by the state. That's what they want. There's a lizard turd they.
00:37:27
Speaker
But again, as a bad guy, we've superseded that model in my
Living with Nature and Animals
00:37:30
Speaker
mind, or I have at least, and so I invite folks to also view this as an opportunity rather than a deliberate apprehension of your reality, right? It can be viewed that way, but I believe its primary function and goal is to motivate you to get the fuck away from it and to do something completely the opposite. So all the inverted processes we see in there, none of them can move forward with this, with the mentality we have. They need to be updated there.
00:37:52
Speaker
long fucking overdue and we're all very aware of this now now if you think you're gonna find that within the same system then that brings us back to the conversation limitations you're limiting yourself by solving the problem by the same thinking that created it right the same level of thinking that created it you must transcend that level and what does that look like that's the great mystery in question this is though what
00:38:15
Speaker
Systems like what you and I have been raised in and are breaking free from have taught us is that we need someone to come save us that an answer will be provided and then a template will be there to be filled in simply. I feel now more than ever that the skills we've acquired to this point.
00:38:30
Speaker
have absolutely called bullshit on that model. There's no one coming to save you. There's no such thing as Q and all of these other things in my mind. I know you guys feel triggered as you'd like there. But sub real quick, if you're looking into Q and you've really planted your flag there, look into something called the Bolshevik Revolution that took place in the
00:38:49
Speaker
20 is long time ago as same template by the way they told everybody hey don't worry about it we've got everything covered but it was a faction of the government that infiltrated the rebels that told them to do that that pacified when a revolution was absolutely successful. So this may be another part of that so.
00:39:04
Speaker
Again if but if you're investigating all your time in that and thinking all will someone's kind of come save us and they're gonna rewrite the system this is again where you're invited to take a detour from that old level of thinking and transcend it and move to a new level of thinking where we're all at. The beautiful part about this again is that it's so uncharted but we all have a mission of love in this and so as long as that is your compass and this is on cheesy shit i don't give a fuck.
00:39:30
Speaker
Long as your love is your compass, you've got this. And it's a structured, clear, intuitive path from there, and we're all here together on this. So if you're interested in anything that I'm talking about here, reach out to Christian. We've got a network.
00:39:43
Speaker
I love your giving a fuckness. I love that because I'm the same, bro. Give zero fucks. Speak your truth and give zero fucks, bro. And I think that's the way forward. This is being an authentic human being. There's so much
00:40:02
Speaker
fakery and bullshit, putting on airs, putting on makeup figuratively and literally before you leave the house, before you point your fucking smartphone at yourself. That's bullshit. And it's another one of those things that we are conditioned, we have been conditioned into.
00:40:22
Speaker
And I love seeing people like you living your authenticity. And, you know, we all have quirks. We all have little idiosyncrasies that make us kind of weird and wonderful. But you, what's the word, you own that shit. And the older I get, the more I mature. Okay, mature. Let's not put me and mature in the same fucking sentence. I hope you're not. That's bullshit.
00:40:48
Speaker
But it's like the more experience I get, basically the older I get, the less fucks I give about what people think, what people do. And I love that about you, bro.
00:41:01
Speaker
I love it back about you, man, because you got two people to impress here. And if we can empower anybody else with this, then it's two people to impress, the five-year-old version of you and the 85-year-old version of you. I'm very adamant about this, because those are the only people that, number one, matter. And number two, that you could prove they're real. If we're going to get into the weird shit about the NPCs and that perhaps all of this is a projection around you and all of that, and you're really investing a lot of your energy and a lot of the, oh, well, I should have said this, and I want to say something to what you said.
00:41:28
Speaker
You know back to that oh i should have said this thing there's a funny thing it made me think of sign filled the ever watch that sure have you ever seen it so i've seen bits bits and pieces yeah. In that there's an episode where the guy says something about him eating all the shrimp and he goes yeah with a jerk store called and they're running out of you right and so this is the thing he later on thought that but didn't say it and then wanted to go back and say it then it's you know hilarity is all those things but it's too late right so. I think i get us back to what we were talking about.
00:41:59
Speaker
Give me a word to help me out. Jerk store. Jerk store threw me off, dude. And I was in a band called Jerk Store because of that. Oh, well.
00:42:07
Speaker
But anyway, I think we were talking about, what were we talking about? Owning your quirks and- Thank you, yes. Impressing your five-year-old and 85-year-old version of yourself. That's it. So all these NPCs, thank you. All these NPCs running around out here, maybe. I mean, if anything, you can prove what you see and feel. Other than that, it's kind of a crapshoot out there. So take that as philosophically, as deep woo woo, as mind fuck as you'd like. But to the reality of it,
00:42:35
Speaker
Is that if you are living in an external condition to where the things that make you the most you are the things that you're embarrassed about because that you feel that the external environment isn't accepting of them. Those are things you question that that's what you sit with right there you know now if there are things that rob you of your confidence in ways that let's say when you drink you turn into an asshole okay well that's self realization itself actual as i. Actualization and that's a deeper conversation but if there are things like the way you part your hair if there are things like.
00:43:04
Speaker
a nose ring that you like if there are things like you vape and you think people will think you're a douchebag anything that robs you of your confidence sit within a way but if it doesn't and it's things that you love about yourself then question who what your environment is responding to you and so are the people that make you that you're surrounding yourself with make you feel that way right.
00:43:24
Speaker
The greatest compliment i can ever give my wife is that she makes me free to be myself like it doesn't matter how much i love her she allows me to be myself in the most authentic free me ever now. If that isn't an environment that everyone would want for any entity in their life in pc or not i don't know what to tell you like that. The ability to be yourself in any situation is the ultimate goal and the ultimate.
00:43:48
Speaker
Avenue moving forward that is where everyone's compasses are pointed to the more triggered anyone gets by the fact of by the thought rather it's not a fact that you decided is about the thought that you're going to put yourself out there and then be immediately. Shunned back into the cave from which you came then.
00:44:04
Speaker
I mean that's not what we're doing and if it is then perhaps you've surrounded yourself by batch of NPCs and in that case I would say then good on you because you are meant to grow where you're planted and so you will be planted around a bunch of things that make you.
00:44:19
Speaker
encourage you to hone your discernment and that to really stand up for yourself in an authentic way and when you do that those that environment changes now rather that's a subsequent thing or rather you create it is a philosophical question and that's a conversation that's fun but either way it does seem to occur that when you that when you change the way you look at things the things you look at change and so when you change your environment out there you're gonna look differently at your
00:44:44
Speaker
connection and relationship to it. And if you're free to be in 100% you in connection with that, that's when you've cultivated the environment. So this is where, again, we're being perhaps limited.
00:44:55
Speaker
in our thinking of our integration into society. I hear all the time from people who go from a discipline, let's say in the matrix, let's just say a lawyer of real estate, anybody, something like that. And then they started a podcast. And one of the things we talk about is their authentic self doing this podcast about spirituality, about Reiki, and they're really into this kind of shit. But what they say is I don't think
00:45:15
Speaker
My family and my friends or anybody will approve of this, so I just don't tell anyone. Now, what's interesting is someone finds their show and then they'll come out and say, oh my God, I've been going to this Reiki thing, but I didn't know I could tell you about it. And oh my God, we've been questioning our education system as well. We've been looking into alternatives, but we were putting on the face for everyone because we didn't know you were looking into it. So it's the bold authenticity that will actually show you that it's not a fucking rare quality and that it was relegated as a rare quality to keep you from your true power.
00:45:45
Speaker
Hmm. You know, I love that because when I started my podcast back in 2020, first I started getting on like these Buddhist teachers and folks talking about philosophy and health. And then I started getting folks about psychedelics. And then I was like, wait,
00:46:08
Speaker
how will this change my career prospects if people see I have a podcast and I'm interested in psychedelics. But then I started inviting folks that are conspiracy researchers, analysts, like guys like Charlie Robinson and stuff like that. And then at that point I was like, okay, well here now we're at the point
00:46:30
Speaker
of no return. I, I now have to decide for myself, do am I going to give a fuck what a potentially a bunch of NPCs think or people that I never cared what they think. I shouldn't care what they think, what they're going to think, or do I follow my bliss and interview the fucking sweet ass people that I love guys like Charlie and all these other awesome folks I've had on. And I went with it, bro. I'm like, you know what? Fuck this.
00:46:59
Speaker
fuck this shit. I am, I'm going to follow my bliss. I'm going to interview these awesome people that I'm attracted to for, for however many reasons, the psychedelics people, the conspiracy people. These are the coolest people, you know, and I'm so glad I, I, I just, uh, listened to, to, to my heart and follow my heart. These are the coolest people, you know? And then I remember my, my wife at one point
00:47:24
Speaker
She also kind of, and it comes from a place of obviously love and care. She said, you know, you have to remember that, you know, these conspiracy guys, they're cool. And she, like every conspiracy that I researched, I told her about. So she, she knows and she's very much awake. She's more awake than most people, you know? So, but she told me, she said, look, just think about it. You know, if you associate yourself with,
00:47:55
Speaker
folks like that, you may, the normies out there may, you know, black spot you or put a black mark or black boy or whatever. They might associate you as a, you know, loop the loop. And I said, you know what?
00:48:14
Speaker
This came to the question of with my health consulting and stuff like that, you know, because I have people on the podcast that are into conspiracies, but then I'm also like talking about health and I'm telling people I offer health consulting if you're interested. So she's like, you know, think about it that way. And you know what? I actually, when I was on Tinfoil Hat, had a couple of ladies, women that actually contacted me and became clients. And one of them yesterday, she told me that
00:48:41
Speaker
She first heard me on Charlie's macroaggressions podcast. And then after hearing me on Tinfo had, she, she decided to get in touch with me. So I told my wife, you know, like, I would rather find my tribe, the people that resonate with my core values and beliefs and help them out, then, you know, deal with, you know, like try to impress and like put on airs for people that might even be NPCs. I'm talking figurative, you know,
00:49:09
Speaker
Maybe, but yes, I know what you're saying. It's fascinating because your awareness of growing the organic audience in that way is the key to this. It is the aligned audience we're talking about because I've got a bunch of followers on TikTok. I'm not sure if they're real. Some people engage, some people don't. So the amount of followers and all those kinds of things lost my mind a long time ago. I'm rarely looking in analytics. If I do, it's accidentally or someone will send me like a thing and they'll be like, dude, that's awesome. And I'm like, oh, cool, I didn't know that.
00:49:38
Speaker
Like it's nice, but it's not something I focus on for that reason it's substance list. It's it's really what it's about is the being able to set yourself free and these kind of conversations of feeling powered. The real question though is is how do you do that authentically with still the business and so.
00:49:54
Speaker
Again this is as you said i'm grateful you walked us through this mental mental process you had with this because again it was an old level of thinking that you were. Anthropomorphizing just for a second on top of the new realize that the pieces didn't fit that they didn't go together moving forward to the new set actually. No this is not what's important and actually we did a great thing by declaring ourselves authentically because now these in pcs of ran for the hills are not a match for it that's great you're putting yourself out there in a way that it's not.
00:50:25
Speaker
disingenuously attractive to the wrong people. Does that make sense? A lot of people sometimes will put themselves out with this version of themselves and they'll say, hey, here's what I look like. Here's the head shots that I had made and I'm in front of this fountain and shit. And then you look at it and you're like, what the fuck is the background's all fucked? Like what's going on here? But it's this presentation. But then again, you get this, it's a run around for everyone involved. Most so for the content creator, because you're out there to do the most altruistic service. You feel because of the programming,
00:50:55
Speaker
that by presenting yourself in a way that's more ubiquitously appreciated, that you'll be able to cast a wider net when it comes to your level of service, which I thought for a long time too. Now, my understanding about summer of last year has been almost a year I've been sitting with this, really embodying this shit, was that if I'm my most authentic me, I'm only going to call in the people that I'm a resident match for.
00:51:17
Speaker
It doesn't confuse anyone it's less work for me i don't need to go in and rebrand my shit take new head shots and go actually that was a whole thing because now you can not that anyone.
00:51:27
Speaker
Redemption stories are beautiful, and we love those, but what I mean to say is that perhaps there could have been people within that poll originally that then find even the flip-flop unauthentic, but I don't think that's the case. I'm only speaking it as a consideration. The 90% of the experience I feel that you will have is an appreciation for your authenticity every time. Now, if you can just come out the gate with that, outstanding. And even that changes, right? Even I'm more comfortable with revealing more of who I am, which changes all the time.
00:51:55
Speaker
uh, evolving creature, like we're constantly doing this as a kinetic thing, which again is something I'm, um, very proud that I'm aware of that it doesn't need to be so damn rigid and figured out because that's actually how I was keeping the dopest shit away from me by wanting to figure it out and then getting it and being like, Oh, this fucking sucks. You know what I mean? It's when I got out of the way that I would say this or something better to do the something better. Number one was always what occurred. Number two, it was always way the fuck better than anything I could have come up with, even with the most.
00:52:23
Speaker
incredible imagination at the time, the intricacies, the way things played out, the little symphony of how it all came together, you can't predict that shit. Why would you want to? It's such a magical experience to be surprised by, which is really what I feel this is about.
00:52:39
Speaker
All right, man, let's talk a little bit about you. So we talked about your morning routine last time. Tell me, what do you do throughout the day? What do you do the rest of your day? What do you eat and drink? What kind of activities do you do? Do you take any supplements? I know you have animals there. You grow your own food. Tell me all about that shit, bro. I'd love to know.
00:53:05
Speaker
Sure. Yeah. Um, thank you. We died. The morning routine is very important. That's now been about a two hour thing. We get a, I get a wife gets a wife and I both get up about four 30 if we're sleeping in five AM every single morning, no matter what time we go to bed. Um, this morning actually I slept until five. So the, the thing about that morning and what I covered about that so much as it's the start, I have, I do not touch my phone. You know, I'm not on anything for the first at least hour.
00:53:31
Speaker
i'll reference some things in the second half of my process from the phone but i know exactly where they are and they have nothing to do with anything i don't wanna see. And then the next part of that would be i'm down to one cup of coffee in the morning which is a huge victory and then also outside immediately so right with the sunrise usually maybe right after about seven am i am outside and i am there for at least an hour we have the labyrinth out back i walked it four times this morning.
00:53:58
Speaker
It's about thirteen hundred steps in and then thirty thirteen hundred steps in and out round trip is the center point to it and i probably explain this but in that labyrinth it's i walk barefoot among the grass in the morning do with all the morning energy and everything as the sun comes up when i get to the middle,
00:54:15
Speaker
I thank all the cardinal directions for their expansion of consciousness, all those above and below, set my intentions for the way out, and then I attract on the way out. It's a mindfulness. Wait, wait, so this labyrinth is something you created, you grew yourself. Haven't I told you about this? I mean, you did tell me, and I know what a labyrinth is, but it's like hedges that you've trimmed yourself and created yourself.
00:54:36
Speaker
Essentially, but just with grass. We're out here in North Texas, so we get these beautiful prairie grasses with these natural wildflowers and pollinators that come through and all this stuff, but I usually just mow it, so it's just all flat. We have two acres around the house that's fenced off from the pasture. Now, the pasture is where we keep the donkeys and the pond, we keep it out there. All that stuff, and that's another 10 acres.
00:55:00
Speaker
that's for the animals and the two acres around the house we have a garden an area for garden which were developing and then the home and then behind it there's an old and old it was an older pecan tree orchard so there's several country there about thirty countries on our property when we need not for pecans and i'm,
00:55:18
Speaker
Back there, though, there's like half of it's completely open field. The other half is half rows of pecans, right? And so these beautiful trees. And so what I did was instead of mowing it all flat about two years ago, I mowed the outer edge of the fence and then perimeter it off to about an acre. So I know this is confusing. So the first acres for the house, the second acres, all this back here with just this open with trees and shit.
00:55:39
Speaker
But mostly open field and in that I then let it all grow up and then I take my mower just one swath wide. It's a riding lawnmower 54 inches wide and then I just mow a single path through it. However, I intuitively got it to do now. This one is two years old. The one that I did two years ago and we're keeping it. We love this one. This design this everything.
00:55:59
Speaker
And I just meander through the trees, through the grasses and everything. And then what I do is I just keep that part mowed and then let everything else grow. So we have all the natural grasses growing. I don't even know if you knew this, dandelions grow to the height that they're mowed. So actually they get about four and a half, five feet. We have five foot tall, at least four foot tall dandelions back there, which are great dandelion routines for your heart and everything like that. Of course, Roundup, the famous
00:56:22
Speaker
company that wants you to kill all those things is also owned by Bear, the number one heart medication in the world. So that's an interesting thing. We have a sea of dandelions back here, but it's all these wildflowers, which brought in to tens of thousands of pollinators and butterflies, like our cats and dogs. We walk this every morning. So this is how my day starts, is out there in that I'm out there for as long as I'd like to be. No wonder you're radiating like fuck.
00:56:46
Speaker
And I'm tanning shit. I'm always outside. I'm walking with my shirt off. I do lunges out there. I do push-ups in the middle. We do little activities, whatever. But yeah, it's something that I mowed. I let the natural grasses go through their seasons. And it's beautiful, dude. We absolutely love it. Because it's like a jungle for the cats. Because it'll get a good mid-tier waste, some of the plants and everything out there. We have a bunch of yarrow that's growing. Everything smells incredible. And it's just beautiful. So that's how I start my day. At what point do you start eating food and shit?
00:57:16
Speaker
I barely eat, and that's the other thing, is I just pull it from somewhere. The ether, something like that. My eating habits are not great. I'm a fairly picky eater when it comes to most things. I eat kind of like a five-year-old, maybe at best, but really, I'm on a lot of meat. We are definitely carnivores around here, but no, we don't grow. Our animals out here are all rescues, so we don't eat anything that we have out here. We did it with chickens once, and we hated it.
00:57:40
Speaker
So yeah, it's just one of those things. It's just one of those things and so But a lot of that and then a lot of like for lunch most of the time I'll have like an apple and peanut butter. That's like my main thing is something like that It's a very minimalist diet, but I'm like I said out in the Sun constantly. Yeah water we mineralize our water So we put Celtic sea salt or something like that in it this 32 or 46 ounce I've already drank five of these say four or five of these today, but it's mineralized water So it's not flushing me out like we're very aware of that
00:58:11
Speaker
That's kind of what it is now I'll intuitively probably go and grab something to eat about I don't know maybe noon or two somewhere in that window if I have time So there's a lot of just kind of grabbing whatever I can in between stuff. I'm on a very inconsistent food schedule So my body is always like in metabolized mode, which is great. I guess because I feel phenomenal I've never felt healthier. I have energy for days and but I eat very minimally
00:58:36
Speaker
so does maybe one or two week i have a doctor pepper you know just because coffee down to one cup a day maybe one in the afternoon but again sometimes i'll go from four thirty in the morning till midnight you know and so if i have an evening show that i need to be very alert for the to california live you know at midnight my time then yeah we you know we do it so but really it's a it's a lot of exercises i constantly we have the ranch but i'm.
00:59:00
Speaker
Constantly outside doing stuff but not bogged down by big food choices so like i said we grow steaks quite regularly we do healthy vegetables asparagus broccoli.
00:59:13
Speaker
Uh, brussel sprouts, we'd love those, a little balsamic dude baking them in the oven. Oh my God, get out of here with that. And uh, some salmon, uh, chicken, stuff like that, but we are definitely meat eaters, but uh, yeah. And we grill constantly. I'm always grilling something. And you take any supplements or? No. No. You don't take anything. I used to take aswagandha, vitamin B, stuff like that, but I've stopped all supplements. I haven't taken them in over a year. Um, no, nothing like that.
00:59:37
Speaker
I add a little bit of mushroom complex, which is something that you can buy. It's like six different mushrooms, chaga. Yeah, like rishi chaga. Yeah, lion's man, all that. I add that a little tiny scoop of it to my coffee. But other than that, that's the only supplement I would say that I get. It's like I said, very boring, I suppose, you know, when it comes to that, you know, yeah.
00:59:56
Speaker
Yeah, that's amazing. I always love to like, um, when I see awesome people, I always love to know what, what do they eat? You know, how do they do shit? Basically, you know, because I want to know, and it's so amazing that people do such different things. Uh, you know, amazing, vibrant people and somehow.
01:00:17
Speaker
There's a common factor between them. And I honestly, to be honest with you, I don't actually say like what you said is closer to what I think is the thing is pulling something out of the ether, bro, like this, it could be I think it's positive mental attitude is such a massive part of health.
01:00:40
Speaker
Yeah it's a fuel source for sure there is i'm drawing it from somewhere i've output far more calories and i am like far more i should be studied for this like a magnitude of i don't know how much but.
01:00:54
Speaker
Yeah, it's a crazy interesting thing that I've never looked in the mouth. I've always been very grateful for my energy, for my stamina, for my ability to focus even as fatigued as I should be. For some reason, I just have this draw, this power source within me that continues to shine. I knew this when I was touring musician as well.
01:01:14
Speaker
You know we write it off to tour energy is what we say but i toward within i was with another guy who didn't play just went with me as a buddy so i didn't go by myself on the us tour. And he slept like a lot like you need a lot of rest and i just didn't you know i'm so i just feel that it's i'm grateful for it i really am another thing i don't dream this is a really interesting i'm pretty sure it's cuz i smoke pot that's probably what it is but yeah one of the.
01:01:38
Speaker
main things is I don't really remember dreaming even when I didn't smoke pot. So I kind of viewed this as that maybe I'm living my dream constantly and so I don't need an escape whenever I go to sleep or some super ultra alien badass on the other side fighting wars and I just make myself forget when I wake up that's to not ruin it. There's important secret missions going on up there, I don't know.
01:02:00
Speaker
I don't remember where I read this or where I kind of discovered this, but from what I understand, the more you dream, it's the more that your mind is processing like, quote unquote, problems. Right. Really? So, so I believe, yeah, from, from that perspective, I believe the reason you don't dream is you're able to process all the events through the day consciously. You're not.
01:02:28
Speaker
uh, cordoning, cordoning them off, you know, like, you know, um, what's the word, um, uh, repressing things, pushing things to the, to the back of your mind as a subconscious. So then the subconscious is forced to, to kind of bubble, bubble them up. So to process that that could be it. I don't know. That's interesting. I'll take that. You know, I like that. Um, but I also am a connector with,
01:02:53
Speaker
cannabis cannabis and I have had a phenomenal relationship that I've really just got reintroduced to because I was able to
01:03:01
Speaker
About two years ago, and so it's it's really been something that man. We have just an awesome relationship like it just Mary and I work so well together and my wife is named Mary and Yeah, it's just been one of these things. You know it's not a dependency thing not at all I gotta know I just it's a balanced Interaction that is something that's so wonderful and usually in the evening But again, it's it's I feel that I'm just so on on on on on on on on for the most for most of my waking day it is a Synapses
01:03:31
Speaker
Jubilee up there it's just there's so much going on there's so many things and so many things to look forward to and I was excited about amazing things and like you said processing opportunities in disguise or problems as other people would call them very rapidly and gnashing my ass through these obstacles and stuff like that that whenever it does get to the end of the day you know if there's an echo of
01:03:53
Speaker
all that was in the day but also all i'm looking forward to tomorrow so what i have found is mary jane and i can sit down and she and i can say okay we're we're done with that for today there's plenty more to look at you did a great job right now what we're gonna do is some self care and just turn it off for a minute. And it also i found really helps me just focus on that one active just breathing.
01:04:17
Speaker
It's like I said, it's usually a pretty a synaptic Jubilee up there and I've gotten very, it's been a challenge to be honest with you for it to work that way and for me to feel limited in my environment by other processes, you know, maybe be ignorance or something like that. Right. And so we struggle with, I used to struggle formally.
01:04:34
Speaker
far recovered a struggle of that mentality that just no longer plays a part in me but it's again through this balance of meditation of my walks outside nature understanding when i need my breaks understanding that there is a day i don't turn the computer on at all understanding that.
01:04:51
Speaker
Balance is a very important part of this process and also not to get wrapped up in, yes, that you are a spiritual being, but don't forget about that human experience part of this and to really take care with it and to get out and do some dope shit, take your kid to go do some cool stuff, see some waterfalls, things like that. So it's about balance and that's what re-centers and grounds me, which is really nice. But Mary definitely helps, a lover. Yeah, awesome, bro. And you said you have donkeys and all the animals, you have a rescue animals. Tell us about that, bro.
01:05:19
Speaker
Yeah, so we've been, we'll have lived here at this ranch for eight years this August. So here in a couple months we'll have been here for eight years.
01:05:27
Speaker
We initially got this place as just a bigger yard for the dogs. But once we moved in, we realized there's acres. So we have a pasture and pond and all that kind of stuff. So we immediately got donkeys. They're wonderful, by the way, because we knew we would want goats. So goats are great, but also they're tiny. And they can get preyed on, right? And so you get donkeys because they're herd protectors. And they'll kill coyotes and stuff. Like, actually, our dog can't go out into the field with the donkeys out there because the donkeys will kill them. They don't care for coyotes or any canines, by the way.
01:05:57
Speaker
So they'll kill the coyote and drag it around, fling it up in the air, get his blood everywhere so that other coyotes don't come around. They're amazing. Yeah, stomp them to death, pick them up, throw them. Anyway, so there's the brutality on coyotes, but you have them as herd protectors for your herd, right? But also, like I said, they're incredible animals. I don't know if you've ever spent time with a donkey. Let me tell you, I think I told you last time, we have a guy that lives next to us, next to our cul-de-sac here with apartments. The guy has a fucking tiny little homestead.
01:06:27
Speaker
three donkeys and one of them gave birth, I think, six weeks ago at this point. But we were there yesterday with my daughter. She loves looking at the donkey. It's a tiny little donkey. Dude, there's such... And the big one, the oldest one, we'd go and pet her and say hello to her. And then when we would try to leave to see the other two there on the other side there, she would go up after us and get in the way so we can't escape. She'd do it more than once. Bro, they're such amazing creatures.
01:06:56
Speaker
They're incredible. No, no, no. Yeah, it's perfect. Well, thank you for sharing. And then right above their tail, if you get their butt area, it's challenging for them to scratch though. You'll be their buddies also right here on their chest, right a little above in between them where their front legs are right under their neck. Same thing feels real good. Also inside their ears. They have those huge tall ears that go up. If you take your fingers, just the tips of them and go inside the ear and just scratch like that. Oh my God, dude. They're putty in your hands.
01:07:22
Speaker
And also sharing breath with an equine is another thing that's very interesting that a lot of folks know about this native tradition, but what you do is you get your breath in with the equine's breath. Now when I say equine, I mean horses or donkeys or mules are all in the same family, right? So you can do this with a horse also, or a donkey or a mule.
01:07:40
Speaker
So you breathe in their nose they'll breathe out into your nose and you exchange breath with them and it's a bonding it's a way of bonding with them people do this with their horses all the time all this kind of thing it's beautiful process and our girls out there you get down and they'll exchange breath with you and it's. You can feel this connection in this comfort right so we have six girls out here right now so we're kinda like the ass ranch.
01:08:02
Speaker
We've had horses, peacocks, pigs, goats, all kinds of stuff. But we're right now what we have is six donkeys, two of which were born out here. So I know exactly what you mean about it because I found one right after. I mean, it had to have been right when she was born. Just ran over, immediately picked her up. You know, her mom and her mom was the first donkey we got. So she was very okay with it.
01:08:24
Speaker
Anyways to that kind of thing and so they're just fast and they're like dogs dude. They're like they come running up to you whenever you come out They're incredibly self-aware. They never get fucking injured or something I say that we just had a call a vet out or one of our donkeys actually got her eyelid ripped open I'm not gonna go into it more than that
01:08:41
Speaker
The vet was out for the first time we call the vet out to our place with all of these animals that we've had out here for eight years. First time we've ever called one out and she sewed it right back on. We put ointment on it. My wife and I actually went out there and pulled the stitches. We've never done that before, but we can check off the list, remove stonkey stitches from very sensitive eye, which should be a black belt level. You know what I mean? It wasn't like it was on her back or something easy. It was right on her eye, dude. But we did it and it's amazing.
01:09:10
Speaker
Love the donkeys that they're incredible and then folks when they come out here a lot of people come out here from cities we've had several people like dave's ed when he came out here i think he'd seen a donkey once but never like pet it and shit they're just all over and loving on and shit. Same thing we got here from jersey never been around donkeys and he just could not leave him you know he was just like there.
01:09:27
Speaker
just so great, I know, that's why we got it, you know? So it's part of this environment, you know, we have the labyrinth, we have a satellite dish that's beaming out good waves with this wish unit, this thing right here, it's got one of these and it's a quantum device, it's fucking awesome. We have the donkeys, we have the water with the pond, we have everything, dude, it's just a magical-ass place, so you gotta get your ass over here sometime. Yeah, man, if America gives me a tourist visa, at some point we will, bro, we will for sure.
01:09:57
Speaker
Well, we're gonna need you to come over here and work, so maybe I just hire you as an employee and get you an employment visa to come by and just hang out. We could do that. You could sponsor me. I'll sponsor you. I would absolutely sponsor the shit out of you. I'd also... I'd love... I'll sponsor the shit out of you, bro. Yeah, buddy. Yeah, man. I hope they don't do, you know... We'll talk off here. I hope they don't do psychometric evaluations.
01:10:20
Speaker
You're too smart to enter, that'd be the problem. Sorry sir, you're already on hundreds of lists that we have here. You're off the charts intelligent, we can't accept you into, you will ruin the delusion that we have here in the States that everyone is not powerful. There'll be like, we have too many domestic terrorists, we don't need any external terrorists, thank you very much, my good fellow.
01:10:45
Speaker
You know, it's interesting you say shit like that. Uh, there's a guy named Brandon Williams. I'm going to connect you with him as well. Have you ever heard of this guy? No. Oh my God. He's got a website called one stupid fuck.com. Um, why does that sound so familiar? Bro, I had him on, it'll be out soon. Um, but holy shit, this dude, Brandon, Joe Williams is his name. And I think I listened to a podcast with him very recently. Probably. Yes. He was on the last week. I even think.
01:11:16
Speaker
Yeah, I'm gonna send you his email, dude, I'll get your email connected, but holy shit, bro. He's talking about being a state national, like basically unsubscribing from the company that is the US government, which is just a corporation. I started listening to him on, I forget whose podcast, this guy's songs. Legitbat, they did a show with him. Yes, he was on Legitbat. Yes, yes, and we're doing something with him coming up soon, so yeah.
01:11:42
Speaker
Epic, bro. I was on legit brat there on Sunday. I love them. Were you really? I'm coming out on Thursday. I love those motherfuckers, man. Yeah, they're super awesome. Super awesome, folks.
01:11:53
Speaker
Well, Brendan, bro, I think let's stop here because I want to leave the listeners gagging for more to listen to you. And I'm sure you'll be back on at some point soon in the future. So let's stop it here. Any closing words of inspiration before we stop?
01:12:18
Speaker
Yeah remember always that the universe provides options that's an outstanding mantra to really sit with and to think about because anytime you feel stuck stagnant anything like that the repeating and being very aware of and the certainty of that the universe provides options.
01:12:35
Speaker
I'm that alone is very simple thing it sounds very just a little thing i could just roll it off it's pro. Found it really enables you to see opportunities rewire the neurons that comprise your r e s your particular activating system to see things as possible in your life rather than stuck or stagnant.
01:12:54
Speaker
Another one would be to do something for somebody else. The beautiful thing about resistance is that it can't exist if you're doing something for somebody else. So there's very little to no resistance in helping someone else. So that is something that will get you out of any funk inevitably. So the universe provides options. Go do something for somebody else, guys. And of course, if you find yourself bitching about the external, go clean out a closet. Hmm. I love that. What's the, I suppose, as within so without, is that the,
01:13:24
Speaker
the principle we're talking about here? Yeah, absolutely, absolutely. Tending your garden, being able to recognize that there are things within your power that you do have control over, and that there are things out there that may or may not be going on that are attempting to draw your power away from
Closing Reflections and Offers
01:13:40
Speaker
you. The recognition of those is first and foremost, and then the ability to sit with yourself and to say, the universe provides options. I am not stuck where I'm at, there are a myriad of options around me, and they will start presenting themselves to you,
01:13:53
Speaker
in an epiphanistic way, which of course, as Laurel Erica says, is just the recognition of the obvious. I love, I love all of those things, bro. You're just, you are just a radiant being and we are so blessed to have you on bro. Now, just before, before we let you go, tell the listener, first of all, you have some interesting plans on expanding reality podcast.com.
01:14:21
Speaker
So for $7.77 a month, we can support you and become an expanding reality insider. But you also have a couple of other plans there for folks that get into your podcast. Tell me about the mini golf carts plan, bro.

It's scrubbed I have a few copies of some old stuff that I had here but I was in a bunch of bands but the one that I really toured China with and toured the US with and got label offers for was the music that I wrote and it was a solo acoustic thing but I had a band like my band was awesome before I went on the road as a solo acoustic did that everybody in the band was
01:19:40
Speaker
They were all better than me. That was my role. You got to be better than me to play with me. And so these people, three of them got accepted to Juilliard, a celloist, a violinist, and then a bass player, as well as the bass player's drummer, who sat in with us a couple times, went to drummers. I had some of the most incredible drummers ever. I think one of them's grandfather invented the kick drum pedal and was this famous bass drum bass
01:20:01
Speaker
Uh, draw or a jazz drummer rather. Um, yeah. So just all these amazing musicians, uh, surrounded myself with. And so then, I mean, we played a VH one save the music show. We didn't, we did a bunch of stuff and then I struck out on my own with the solo acoustic thing and went around and did that.
01:20:17
Speaker
and tour China like I said and then after that my grandmother got sick and it was like two weeks before my second tour of China she just called I was living in Houston she was in North Texas and she just said hey I'm sick I don't I'm dizzy all the time I don't know what's going on but I just can't do this anymore meaning live on her own
01:20:33
Speaker
So I cancel the China tour and that's when essentially my music career went on pause. I moved up to Texas to take care of her until she passed and then I had a house so that meant I needed a job and so then I've completely put all that stuff down, met my wife, quit smoking pot, we dated for a while then got married and then really stopped all the fun shit and then got a real job in the beer business and did that for almost 10 years and then quit and then came to here.
01:20:59
Speaker
It's wild. It's been a wild ride, man. Man, that's insane. And I still play. Like when we just went out to contact at the Canyon in Utah, David Warner Matheson, who invited us out there with Grimerica and all the guys, he was like, you better bring your fucking guitar, don't come. I was like, okay. So I brought the guitar. I hadn't played in a long, nine years in front of anyone. And it had a really, really good time. Everybody really enjoyed it. It was a blast. It scratched the itch for sure. That's awesome, bro. Another reason for you to come, dude. We'll jam.
01:21:25
Speaker
Man, that would be so epic. Stop it, stop it. I will not. Brandon Thomas, guys, thank you again, brother, for coming on. Thank you, my friend.
