00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:16.320
If you felt lonely, isolated, disconnected, with an empty feeling inside and just yearning for more, knowing something is missing, then this podcast is for you.
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.399
So here's your host, Joe Mittigan.
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.559
Hello and welcome to We.
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:40.079
Have you ever reached a point in your life when you began questioning everything you once believed would make you happy?
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:50.880
The career you wanted, the money you wanted to earn, the success you wanted to achieve, even the life you spent years working so hard to create.
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.200
And suddenly you begin wondering, why don't I want those same things I used to want?
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.759
That's confusing, isn't it?
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:09.439
Because from the time we were children, the world has been telling us what a successful life is supposed to look like.
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:11.359
You know what I'm talking about.
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:26.879
A good education, find a good job, make plenty of money, buy a beautiful home, build a family, become successful, and if we accomplish all those things, we're supposed to be happy.
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:40.480
But what happens when we begin realizing that the life the world taught us to want isn't necessarily the life we were created to live.
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:59.040
What happens when we begin healing emotionally, growing spiritually, and discovering who we really are, only to realize that so much of what we've been pursuing may never have been what we truly wanted.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:04.000
And that's where I want to start today's episode.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.120
I want to begin with that topic.
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:14.560
Because something extraordinary can happen when we begin discovering our authentic self.
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:28.879
The more we understand who we really are, the more we begin questioning why we've spent so much of our lives trying to become who the world wanted us to be?
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.439
Think about that for a moment.
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:39.360
How many of our decisions have been influenced by what the people around us expected from us?
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.120
How many of our dreams were shaped by society's definition of success?
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:54.000
How much of our happiness have we sacrificed trying to build a life that looks successful to everybody else?
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.800
I know I've spent a great deal of my life doing exactly that.
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:11.840
For years, I mean, literally years, I believed success was something I needed to achieve, something I needed to prove, something that would finally make me feel good enough.
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:24.159
But as I began healing my emotional wounds and developing a deeper relationship with my higher power, my understanding of success started changing.
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:30.319
The things I thought I wanted weren't always the things that brought me peace.
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:37.360
The accomplishments I believed would make me happy didn't always bring me joy.
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:49.840
And the more I grew spiritually, the more I began realizing that perhaps I had spent much of my life pursuing someone else's definition of happiness.
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.840
And that realization, quite honestly, can be truly frightening.
00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:05.199
Because when we begin letting go of the life we thought we wanted, we don't always know what we're supposed to replace it with.
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.400
We can feel confused, we can certainly feel lost.
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.520
We can even begin questioning whether we're making a terrible mistake.
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.839
But I've been wondering something lately.
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.600
What if that confusion isn't a sign that something's wrong with our lives?
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:32.319
What if it's a sign that we're finally beginning to discover what really matters to us?
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:38.240
Maybe our higher power isn't asking us to abandon everything we've created.
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:45.199
Maybe we're simply being invited to examine why we created it in the first place.
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.839
Was it because we loved it?
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:52.560
Or because we believed it would make us worthy of love?
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.959
Was it because it gave our lives meaning?
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.759
Or because we thought it would make other people admire us?
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.240
And perhaps that's the most important question of all.
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:38.160
Maybe that's how we begin changing not only our own lives, but the world we live in too.
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.680
And the world we share with everybody else.
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.040
Just maybe.
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:44.480
Just maybe.
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:52.639
That's how the world moves from living as a me and begins becoming a we.
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.040
My name is Joe Mittigan, and this is we.
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.480
Welcome everybody to the We podcast.
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:07.040
It's a great night here in Atlanta, Georgia, and I want to welcome everybody to the to this episode.
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:16.160
You know, this these episodes, just so everybody knows, I predetermine about 20 titles well in advance.
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:25.839
So when I come up with the titles, I work with AI, we create an environment where my titles kind of hook to each other.
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:36.160
And, you know, I give ideas and then I use technology to create the titles to a framework, and then I put my feeling per title.
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:42.720
Well, I have to tell you, when I saw this title today, Why Life Can Feel So Confusing, I almost fell over.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:44.160
I don't really know the titles.
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:49.680
You know, I don't look at the title for episode 65 before I've done 64.
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.160
So when I saw that, I said, wow, this is just the perfect title for tonight.
00:07:54.399 --> 00:08:03.519
Because this past 10 days or so, and especially a seven-day period in there, very confusing for me, really, really confusing.
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.759
And I'm gonna talk about that in in the later part when I share my experience.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:23.199
So I want to just kind of introduce the idea of where did the whole concept of us humans creating a world based on what everybody else thinks?
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.639
Where did that come from?
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.160
And we're gonna talk about that.
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.160
Where are the emotional origins of that entire concept?
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.399
You know, you can put great big titles on it.
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:36.879
It's codependence and it's narcissistic and it's addictive and all of that.
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.120
But like, where did it come from?
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:49.200
Like, truly, how did we develop into human beings, adults, whose perspective of success was based on what other people thought?
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.559
Where did it start?
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:52.639
We're gonna talk about that today.
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:57.279
And of course, we're gonna talk about the what do we do about it so we don't live there anymore.
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.279
We're gonna talk about that also.
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:05.519
And it's just as this particular title came up today, Why Can Life Be So Confusing?
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.919
I had to I had to just grin.
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.080
Because I talk about it all the time.
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:16.240
This is not the man speaking here, this is my divinity speaking to all of you around the globe.
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:25.200
And the explosive growth of the Wii podcast has been something I've been following and something I've been celebrating.
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:41.360
And every time I think about another country, what it really brings my heart so much joy is that there it's continuing to bring factual, actual understanding that we as a humanity are waking up.
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.440
And I say it all the time, that's what's happening in humanity.
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:51.679
We are moving from a male-dominated energy pattern to a female-dominated energy pattern.
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.960
And in that female side, we're waking up to the feminine side of ourselves.
00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:02.799
And it doesn't matter where you live, it doesn't matter the color of your skin, it doesn't matter your nationality.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.360
It certainly has nothing to do with religion.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:14.639
Literally, spiritual growth really has nothing to do, they aren't, they can be completely separate.
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:20.559
Your religious beliefs and your spiritual growth, they're come, they can be completely separate.
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.720
I say that, and I'm gonna say it here.
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:53.039
I always say it that the Wii podcast is about teaching people to acknowledge, to embrace, and to follow a power greater than themselves in your today and your tomorrow, where most religions have more of a fashion of guidance so that the end result of you got being guided by the systems of different religions cause you an eternal life that you can look forward to.
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.360
Well, I ain't talking about no eternal life, folks.
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:55.759
I'm not.
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:57.440
Don't know a whole bunch about that.
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:05.519
And you know, someday when all of us see each other on the other side and we're close to the pearly gates, we'll kind of decide and discern the rights and the wrongs.
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.279
And but there is no right and wrong.
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.720
We're all on a spiritual path.
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.639
And that's why every time I see a new country, it's just fascinating to me.
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:14.080
It's just fantastic.
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:37.840
It validates deeply the whole idea of why the concept for Joe of the generation of change and technology is the top of it, because with a click of a button, I'm here in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and people in France and people in China, people in Malaysia, people in Nigeria, let alone the United Kingdom and Australia and New Zealand.
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:38.879
I go on and on.
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.519
Oman in the Middle East to the United Kingdom in Europe.
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:58.879
With a click of a button, the technology is already in place to where this message that's being divinely guided through me here is being heard by people around the globe that get it.
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:06.720
You could not be on a podcast like mine for any length of time if you weren't on a spiritual path, if you weren't a true spiritual warrior.
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:10.639
Most of you are probably even more practiced at it than myself.
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.000
I just picked up a microphone and here we are.
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:21.679
But that whole concept of generational change, and that's the foundation of what we do here at the We Podcast.
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:47.519
My ultimate goal, the intention of this experience, is to mirror back to a hundred million people around the globe that you are a spiritual being having a human experience, and the veil, the literal, your availability as a human being to commune with a power greater than yourself, that ability is becoming more.
00:12:47.840 --> 00:13:05.200
You have the capability and the capacities to identify it and be guided by it more and more every day, not only by your own personal self-discovery, but as humanity is shifting and growing and vibrationally, we as an essence are waking up.
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:22.080
My message is to teach the how-to's guide and guide people into different day-to-day practice, day-to-day recognition, day-to-day acceptance that you are already an awakened being.
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.320
You are already a spiritual being.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:32.799
You are already living large portions of your life as oneness with your power, a power greater than yourself.
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:44.799
And that's why I am somebody that will challenge human, the human conscious norm and the delusion of if I was one with God, then everything would be blissful.
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:46.159
Falsehood.
00:13:46.399 --> 00:14:00.320
And you know, quite honestly, a lot of that comes from this most people 50 years ago, really the only perspective they had of a God or power greater than themselves, they gained it in church.
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:09.919
And the truth of the matter is, per large religion, each of them have an entity that was uniquely special, truly.
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:16.960
And I always say to the Christian religion, because that's the one I'm the most familiar with, was Jesus different than all of us?
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:17.679
No.
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.279
Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:25.519
And he was divinely guided.
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:30.320
The difference between Jesus and the rest of us was he, did he have his human flesh?
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:30.879
Yes.
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:32.159
Did he have an ego?
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:33.200
I believe no.
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:33.840
I don't.
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.360
That's where he was different.
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:36.720
But what did he say?
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:38.879
Ye shall do what I have done in grander things.
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.000
What did he mean?
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:46.080
He means that the same consciousness that guided him is available in all of us.
00:14:46.320 --> 00:15:03.919
Well, now, here in 2026, October the 12th, 2026, our availability, the rest of us, our availability to be guided by that spirit that is called us, and to be guided by it, is more readily available.
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.200
You are consciously able to do it more grandly.
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:08.720
And why is that important?
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:15.200
Because when you're guided by, and guided means how do you make your action steps?
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:21.200
How do you make decisions on a Tuesday morning or a Sunday afternoon or a Friday night or a Wednesday at noon?
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:22.240
How do you do that?
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.720
What part of you is helping you make those decisions?
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:37.279
We grew up in a society, an unconscious society that says we make our decisions for our action steps to make sure everybody else is happy first.
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:42.000
And then we wonder why we wake up later in life feeling empty, vacant, and not okay.
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:49.600
And I'm going to talk about here later in the episode the five different stages of consciousness.
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:58.399
And why that's important is because as we awaken, we are literally guided by a grander part of ourselves.
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.240
And why the heck do we want to do it?
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:06.080
Because the truth of the matter is, when you are guided by a grander you, the end result is a grander life.
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.279
And what does that mean?
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:19.519
A grander life is going to mean you're going to feel better, you're going to be have more peace, you're going to be more prosperous, you're going to just have a grander sense of okayness, is what I call it all the time.
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:21.600
Does it mean you're going to make more money?
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.679
Yes, if you're entrepreneurial.
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:26.320
If you're not entrepreneurial, maybe not.
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:26.879
Probably not.
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:28.799
Does it mean you're never going to challenge with money?
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:29.519
No, heck no.
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:30.960
It's what the heck?
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:32.639
You've been at the grocery store lately?
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.799
It cost a bunch of money just to live, let alone gas, and blah, blah, blah.
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:42.399
But the truth of the matter is, here in Georgia, when gas was four bucks a gallon, now it's$320.
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:53.600
But when it was four bucks a gallon, when you're pumping a gas at the quick trip for four bucks a gallon and you feel a oneness of a god of your understanding, you're still paying four bucks a gallon.
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:56.559
But there's a sense of okayness, anyways.
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:02.159
There's zero difference of okayness in Joe if the gallon is four dollars or three dollars.
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.120
It's the same.
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:03.759
Why?
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.920
Because I'm pretty practiced at all this.
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.359
And that's the why you want to do it.
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.039
The question is the how.
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.759
And that's what we're going to talk about here, of course, the how to.
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:32.880
And for me, what I'm really starting to understand is that I literally forever thought that living as a higher purpose meant a particular group of action steps that I would take on a particular given day.
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.720
And as I'm taking those action steps, I'm living as my higher purpose.
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:46.720
I'm pursuing a higher purpose, i.e., like I'm doing here with the Wii podcast and the intention of helping awaken 100 million people.
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:49.440
And of course, that is part of the higher purpose.
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.799
But that's the smallest part of it, quite honestly.
00:17:52.880 --> 00:18:07.359
What I'm becoming aware of is every time we are living from a grander us, we're already living as the purpose you were born.
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:26.960
And the true purpose in which you were born is to go from some level of humanity in the extreme for most, and start adjusting the extreme consciousness of human only into the awakened position of more and more divinity guided.
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:34.640
Now, again, I will go back to Jesus and the Christianity, the entire philosophy of Christianity, which I believe in 100%.
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:46.079
Jesus, in my opinion, was born purely with a pure divine, divinely guided only perspective.
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:49.279
He didn't have the rest of the nonsense the rest of us have.
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:51.680
And I could go on and on for the wise.
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.440
First off, we're still talking about the human 2,000 years later.
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.640
If nothing else, that should say it was pretty special.
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:09.119
The walk on water, the miracles, the poofo, the breath, you know, all of the things the man did who he showed it into the world, I believe divine.
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:12.240
No unconsciousness anywhere.
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.559
Now, come to the rest of us, right?
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:32.319
With the rest of us, we start in a place of unconscious, and then we start waking up to the minuscule positions of conscious awakening, which allows us to be consciously living from a place of divine.
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:42.160
And what for myself, what I'm starting to realize more and more, my definition of living as a higher purpose has changed.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:43.279
It just has.
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:07.119
This is my early 20s.
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:08.400
I will never forget.
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:15.119
We had a business together and she'd come in, whoever, she probably heard about Wayne Dyer four or five years before me.
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:23.200
I'll never forget yelling at her, say, you take your psycho babble be blank and get the heck out of my office.
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:28.480
Now, of course, when I was doing it, because I'm not cussing here on this podcast, there's about 37 cuss words.
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:30.720
Your psycho babble, blah, blah, blah.
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:32.000
What was she trying to do?
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:35.920
She was basically trying to tell me that, hey, you know, Joe, you can hear your own thoughts.
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:44.400
Well, she's in town, and we have a great relationship, and she's been on a conscious path four or five years longer than me.
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:58.400
So when we talk, it's about conscious talk, critical thinking, talk beyond the obvious, pursue depth of conversation, pursue the whys and any of the ifs and the it's out there.
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:01.200
And it's just it's Fun, it really is.
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:09.920
So, and when we're talking, I notice for myself just kind of the style in which I live.
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:40.079
And today I can say, regardless of what somebody says, regardless of somebody's emotion, regardless of the unconsciousness of the comment, I have so much more availability to take the information in, not filter it and then immediately judge, which is tolerance, not filter it and immediately make it wrong, which is acceptance, and then discern whether I'm going to say anything back or not.
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:44.720
And I was just having that awareness this past literally 24, 48 hours.
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:50.640
And I've known about my ability to do it for a while, but it's just becoming clearer.
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:52.559
So, what does Joe call that?
00:22:52.960 --> 00:23:05.599
My ability in any random conversation to have more tolerance, to have more acceptance, and then to discern if I'm going to engage or not, I call that all part of living as a higher Joe.
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:14.319
And as we live as a higher Joe, our life purpose is being lived every time you do that.
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:21.200
I say the simplest thing when you're walking into a grocery store, hold the door for somebody else, be kind to somebody else.
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:28.160
Every time we're kind to somebody else, we're putting somebody else's, we're putting a smile on somebody else's face.
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:34.799
We're literally, as we're doing that, living as a higher us, as a grander us.
00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:36.880
And what's the opposite?
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:43.359
The opposite is the us who thinks of self first, the me, the ego, the arrogance.
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:49.359
And if you're a me-based human, you get to that door, you're thinking about getting through the door first.
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.680
That's a me perspective.
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.480
Satiate me and mine first, and for a lot of people only.
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:08.640
Well, as you transcend out of that and you transcend beyond that, every time you hold the door for somebody is an example of living a higher purpose, living a higher you.
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.960
And that's why we're here is to learn how to live as a higher us.
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:15.200
And why do I bring that to our awareness?
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:27.839
Because if you think about, I want people to personally grow and their esteem to raise and their self-worth to multiply.
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:36.000
Because if you really start perceiving yourself, describing yourself, this is sacred conversations, folks.
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:37.680
This isn't, hey, look at me.
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:39.759
I'm so spiritually awoken.
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:41.279
No, that's a no.
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.599
This is you and you with your brush when your teeth when you're brushing your teeth.
00:24:45.839 --> 00:25:15.680
If you look at every action step you do on a daily basis, where you're giving to somebody else, and you start describing those action steps as you living as a higher you, as part of your life purpose to live as a higher you, you'll start describing yourself to self as more of a godly person, as more of a higher vibrational us, as more of a higher power us, as more of a communion with a higher power.
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.799
Now, does that mean you hold the door when you go?
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.519
And then when you're there, you start complaining to the waitress?
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:22.960
Yeah, sometimes, of course.
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:24.000
We're still human.
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:25.519
There's still plenty of human.
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:28.160
There's still plenty of stuff we do we wish we wouldn't.
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:34.640
There's still plenty of stuff that our ego and our arrogance and our wound is going to project it onto people around.
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:35.279
Yeah, why?
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:36.559
Because we're human.
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:48.480
I'm not saying that stuff isn't there, but I want you to start becoming aware of how frequently you already are living from a higher you.
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:59.599
And every time you give back, any way, shape, or form, that's you living a grander reason you were born, the purpose you were born, which is to live from that higher place.
00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:02.559
Ultimately, what are we all pursuing?
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.920
Living that 100%.
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:05.359
Will we?
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:06.720
Don't have any idea.
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:07.680
Yeah, I really don't.
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.640
Did Jesus?
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:09.039
Yes.
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:09.920
Did others?
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:10.640
Yes.
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.079
Will will I?
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:13.039
Probably not.
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:13.599
Maybe.
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:14.240
I don't know.
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:14.880
I don't know.
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:16.319
Not going to say that anymore.
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:17.599
Do I live it now?
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:17.920
No.
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:18.480
100%?
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:19.039
No.
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:19.440
I don't.
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:20.640
Do I live it a lot?
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:22.240
I do, I have to tell you.
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.559
But from that perspective, what's the goal here at The We Podcast?
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.039
Help 100 million people understand.
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:33.440
You're already, you make it through a podcast like this, you're a spiritual being.
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.680
You're already living portions of your life as a spiritual being.
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:39.440
And there isn't a right and wrong.
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:41.519
There's not a quantity associated.
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:44.720
There's not a, oh, I live this much and then I am.
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:45.279
No.
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:50.799
When you just start becoming aware, then you are literally on a spiritual path.
00:26:50.880 --> 00:27:05.039
And when you are consciously awakened, when you consciously become aware that you're on a spiritual path and you live that awakening by the giving back, that helps build your self-description of you.
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:16.880
And I'm going to talk about the different developments of consciousness, the different connections to how we become more consciously aware of the grander us.
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:31.359
On the personal side, I have just been an absolute glory this past week because my book, Filling the Void, and Joe Mittiga.com, Joe Mitiga.com is my website where you can download my book for free.
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:33.839
And please do, please tell everybody.
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:36.400
Put it out on social media for me, please.
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:43.279
My domain name, Joe Midtiga, you know, Joe J-O-E-Midiga, M-I-T-T-I-G-A.com.
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:44.640
Put it out there for me.
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:46.319
I want people to have it.
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:51.839
It was channeled through me by a power much greater than me 30 plus years ago.
00:27:52.000 --> 00:28:06.559
This has been a this has been an adventure, 30 years in the making, and literally last week, last Wednesday, seven days, you know, so five, six days ago, it's actually working how I wanted it to work.
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:09.680
So it can be downloaded now effortlessly.
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:17.359
So please do, joemitica.com and tell people about it, put it out on social media for me.
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.519
And what's the reward for Joe?
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:21.039
It just feels good.
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:28.960
It feels good that something that was given to me, that's why God can only do for us what God can do through us.
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:33.279
And when comes to a book, God can only God can't pick up the pencil.
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.920
Joe had to do all that part, and God can't get it edited, and God can't find blah blah blah.
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:39.359
You know, I've done my part.
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:44.319
But the content of the information is not Joe's, it's Joe's story.
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.799
But you'll see when you read it that, and that whole thing was written 30 years ago.
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:55.599
I literally, there's parts of that book that describe my life today, as if I was living it 30 years ago.
00:28:55.759 --> 00:29:01.039
Now, when I'm writing this book, I'm two years into my seven years of darkness, literally.
00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:03.680
22 of those months I'm writing this book.
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.200
This is probably about year, probably three years in.
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:15.200
And so I'm living on$250 a month while I'm writing that book.
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:20.400
And all I'm doing is listening, and I'm writing as fast as I could hear it.
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:31.359
Pencil, legal size paper, 275 pages, page one to page 275, 106,800, some odd words, channeled through.
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.079
And why is it exciting for me to get it out?
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:47.680
Because I made a commitment 30 years ago that when the time is right, God, Father, I call, you know, when I'm talking personally to God, I call my higher power, I call God Father sometimes.
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.680
And I say, Father, I will get it out there.
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:50.880
I will do my part.
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.480
Well, that was accomplished.
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.279
And I want all of you to benefit.
00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:56.559
And how are you going to benefit?
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:56.960
I don't know.
00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:58.319
What part of you gonna benefit?
00:29:58.400 --> 00:29:58.799
I don't know.
00:29:58.880 --> 00:29:59.839
I have no idea.
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.079
It's 275 pages.
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:06.319
There might just be one paragraph in there somewhere where you go, oh my God.
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:07.920
I don't know.
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:10.400
I just know there's something much grander than me.
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:18.160
And if you're on this podcast and you can make it 30 minutes into my podcast, let alone all my other podcasts, that you're a warrior.
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:23.039
And the things that I teach there were taught to me.
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:25.519
Very little of it is quote unquote original.
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:27.119
None of it's original idea.
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:27.759
None of it.
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:29.759
It was taught to me by people.
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:37.359
It's my story, but I don't take claim to the inner child work and the dual-hand journaling and the writing of the first step.
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:40.640
The writing of the first step is AA stuff, first step.
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:45.759
The inner child stuff was all learned by a man named John Bradshaw years ago.
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:48.240
So I don't, none of it is mine.
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:52.720
I'm passing it on freely, and that's why I'm super excited.
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:59.680
I hope everybody on this podcast will take the time to download the book because it's just it's something that's really important.
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:01.119
And you're gonna benefit.
00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:03.440
I can promise you you will benefit.
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:04.319
Do I know how?
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:06.319
No, I just know you will.
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:08.720
And I go back to the whole thing.
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:10.559
If I can, you can.
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:13.359
And you know, if you got a book in you, it's time.
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:14.160
Write it.
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:18.559
If you got a book that's out there in the world, keep talking about it.
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:26.160
And you'll know that it's supposed to be out there because your heart will always be thinking about it.
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.000
You know, your gut will always be guiding you to tell talk about it.
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.880
Your inspiration is not of you.
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:39.519
Imagination's of you, but the next phase of creation is not imagination and inspiration.
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:44.480
Your inspirations are sourced from a power greater than you.
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:58.559
And it's in the creation phase where humanity and divinity come together because divinity gave me the idea, divinity gave me the content, divinity gave me the context of the manuscript.
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:01.200
But me as the man had to write it.
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:07.759
And that's where in the creation phase, divinity and humanity come together, right there.
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.440
We're living in unison.
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:14.799
And once it reaches the place where it goes out into the world, that's the manifestation stage.
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:21.279
And what is the foundational spiritual experience of the manifestation stage?
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:27.680
It's not NOT, a monetary reward for the writer.
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:36.079
Manifestation stage is the reward, the people that are reading the book, they feel the reward in their belly.
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:40.079
Whatever you get out of reading the book, that reward.
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:49.200
And every time somebody feels better, becomes more aware, has a conscious awakening, has an aha, gets supported with new emotional growth.
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:53.519
Whatever the it is in your world, I feel fantastic.
00:32:53.680 --> 00:33:00.559
And I want 100 million people to get that reward because I want to feel fantastic a hundred million times.
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:02.640
And that's where the manifestation stays.
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:04.000
That's where so many people get lost.
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:08.960
I got my hot power, and I'm gonna write a book and I'm gonna put it out there and I'm gonna make a million bucks.
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:13.839
Now you might make a million bucks, but if you're doing it for the million bucks, that's not your higher power.
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:14.720
Period.
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:15.200
Why?
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.440
Because your higher power didn't even know money exists.
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:23.200
Your higher power is about putting things out so the value is in the recipient.
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:30.960
What you gain back might be monetary, but the majority of the gain back is being given while you're giving.
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.799
I feel great that it now is being given.
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:43.279
I'm already in the reward, a 30-year process in the reward now, because it's going out there.
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:46.960
And for new people here, welcome everybody.
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.759
The podcast is literally exploding.
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:58.960
And I'm gonna talk about that here later because I had some amazing confusion, personal, spiritual, and to welcome everybody.
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:05.839
But I had an experience where a couple weeks ago it could work, but you had to do about 40 different action steps.
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:13.039
Well, gentlemen out of Nigeria downloaded my book, and out of nowhere, I see on his LinkedIn page my book.
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.000
And I'm like, that is absolutely unbelievable.
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:23.199
I I kept looking, I was just enamored that, and this man, I I can't pronounce his name.
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:25.599
He's got one of these beautiful African names.
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:27.599
It's just fantastic, truly.
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:36.800
The feeling of grace, the feeling of fullness, the feeling of wow is all I could say, was fantastic.
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:38.719
Was it monetary based?
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:42.079
No, that's part of the human delusion.
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:44.719
Make enough money, you'll feel fantastic.
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:46.079
That's a load of crap.
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:47.599
I'm all about making money.
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:50.079
I am entrepreneurial as I can be.
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:53.599
But the delusion that money fills your belly is just a falsehood.
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:55.039
It just isn't true.
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:56.400
It's just not.
00:34:56.639 --> 00:35:05.440
And with all that being said, it's time for a lot of you to keep doing it and then putting it out there, whatever your it is.
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:10.400
And that's the more you do it, the fuller you're gonna feel in your belly.
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:13.119
And the fuller you fill in your belly, the more you're gonna do it.
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:16.559
And quite honestly, I've got two more books already written.
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:23.199
So Filling the Void is the first book, Why We Feel Alone is the second book, and the third book, which is already written.
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:25.519
We don't have a title yet, but we're gonna get there.
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:27.920
So over this next year, there'll be two more.
00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:30.559
So in a very short period of time, I'll have two books out.
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:36.159
I've got six books to write right now, and I'm just creating the audience to get it out there.
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:39.519
And I say, Me, I'm the facilitator.
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:46.239
God is the source, I'm the one that writes, my divinity is the one that that that dictates.
00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:49.760
And working together, that's the oneness.
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:56.400
God can only do for us what God can do through us, and living from that position feels really, really good.
00:35:56.559 --> 00:36:06.159
There's a sense of abundance, a sense of fullness, a sense of glory that can only be described as amazing, truly.
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:22.559
So the whole concept of the world being our guidance system, life can feel so confusing when our life changes because it doesn't, we no longer want to create our life based on what the world tells us it should be.
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:24.559
What does that mean?
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:33.199
And the unconscious world lives from a perspective of the outside in.
00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:02.559
Powerful meaning it feels really good, and you're guided by you in you.
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:06.639
That still means there's 99% of the world that is clueless.
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:07.599
They just don't know.
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:08.639
And that's okay.
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:09.679
It really is.
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:19.440
So the unconscious world, and most of us lived from that position of get enough money in the bank, we'll be okay.
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:22.239
Marry the right person, we'll be okay.
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.400
Have the right job, we'll be okay.
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:26.719
Build the right family, we'll be okay.
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:36.800
Have the right career, have the right location, go to church and whatever the action steps of the it are, do enough of it, then we'll be okay.
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:42.400
And I can tell you, for most of you, a lot of you, the okayness wasn't in the action.
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:47.840
The okayness was in the gratitude you acquired by taking the action.
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:49.599
Hear what I just said.
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:58.320
The okayness wasn't in the action step itself, it was in the gratitude you felt by taking the action step.
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:04.000
You're doing a job, you're working hard, you spend a bunch of hours, you feel good, you make a bunch of money.
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:08.000
And as you make the money and you receive the money, it's gratitude.
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:09.280
Fabulous.
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:12.159
But gratitude's an ever-chasing event.
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:14.400
Gratitude fills nothing.
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:15.360
Literally.
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:18.159
Gratitude is an ever-chasing event.
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:19.280
Does that make it a bad thing?
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:21.119
No, it makes it a human thing.
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:26.239
Gratitude, the pursuit of gratitude, is your humanity living.
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:27.760
Is that a bad thing?
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:29.679
No, of course, not a bad thing.
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:31.440
But it's not your divinity.
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:32.400
It's not.
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:33.679
It's truly not.
00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:35.039
And I'll never forget.
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:40.480
I really thought heal my wound and live in gratitude, because prior to living in gratitude, what is there?
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:42.639
Is living in something other than gratitude.
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:48.719
So my whole perspective was let's just heal enough so I don't hurt all the time and just get to gratitude.
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.360
Because if I'm in gratitude, then everything's going to be great.
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:53.920
No, I thought that was the end point.
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:54.559
It's not.
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:55.920
That's the launch point.
00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:57.440
That's the launching board.
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:01.280
That's the diving board to jump you into the ocean of grace.
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:19.679
And so the world, the consciousness of the world, will teach us to do the outside world in such a way that creates a bunch of abundance and gratitude.
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:25.840
And if you've got a bunch of abundance and gratitude in your external world, then your internal world's going to be okay.
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:27.760
Falsehood.
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:29.119
Doesn't.
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.320
Now I'll tell you, you have more money than month?
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:33.440
Does it feel better?
00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:33.840
Yes.
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:34.719
Is it safer?
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:35.119
Yes.
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:38.000
Is it more comfortable not having to worry about your bills?
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:38.480
Of course.
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:40.079
It's yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:41.840
But does it heal anything?
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:43.199
No, it doesn't.
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:52.639
In fact, in my opinion, at least when I was sitting there broke with nothing, a car that didn't work, no money in Hungary, I could at least blame.
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:56.079
I feel like crap because my external world is horrible.
00:39:56.400 --> 00:40:08.880
I have deep empathy for the human being that wakes up at 56 years old, kids launched, business sold, husband and wife still together, living in their$2 million house with$10 million in the bank and feeling empty.
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:22.960
I have deep empathy for that person because they lived a life their entire life believing that fix the outside world and then grow it and then make your outside world grand, then I'll feel better inside.
00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:24.239
And you just don't.
00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:26.880
You don't, because that's not how it works.
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:44.559
And quite honestly, the pursuit of being guided by the outside world first, which means your internal world second, every time you take that action, you're actually adding to the vacancy in your belly.
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:46.559
Let me say that again.
00:40:47.199 --> 00:41:21.840
100% of the time, when you take an action step, regardless of the result, that is being guided because of an external stimulus versus an internal guidance, every time you take that action, you are abandoning, neglecting, and quite honestly, abusing yourself emotionally, spiritually, mentally, even though the physical reward might be making money, even though the physical reward might be living in a beautiful house and having a great family.
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:24.400
Am I saying any of that is wrong?
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:25.920
No, I'm not.
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:38.480
I'm saying it's time now that we shift into how we are guided to make our external decisions.
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:42.159
And that's where we have to go to the root.
00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:51.599
How did we get to that place where we say, do what the external world says first, and then everything will be okay.
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:53.119
And that starts as a kid.
00:41:53.360 --> 00:42:04.480
The emotional side, when we are children, we are in constant need as a child, a baby, a six-year-old, an eight-year-old, a 10-year-old, 12-year-old, 20 year old, whatever.
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:17.280
You're in constant need initially of external support, love, praise, acknowledgement, and pride, being proud of, because emotionally you're not developed yet.
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:17.920
You're not.
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:18.960
You're a kid.
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.719
Kids aren't emotionally, they're not their own resource yet.
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:23.519
They're not.
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:33.039
So kids to emotionally grow are 100% dependent on their parents for emotional support.
00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:34.960
Sounds fantastic.
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:52.480
The problem is, for most of us, when we were parents, and we were parented by unconscious people, so we then parent our kids unconsciously, then we're just passing on the same wound generation after generation after generation.
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:54.800
And what is the wound?
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:56.719
Is it, are we doing it on purpose?
00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:57.280
No.
00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:12.400
But if you're not consciously aware of how to embrace and empower your offspring, your kids, your family, the community around you, how to empower and embrace their emotional sense of self.
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:20.559
Then when they grow up, they've got the vacancy in their heart, and the society says, go get a job, go get a house, go get a career, go get a wife, and you'll be fine.
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:26.719
No, you can have a job, a career, a house, and a wife, and still be vacant inside.
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:33.360
Well, that whole vacancy is because we were not emotionally nurtured.
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:36.719
We weren't, we never learned how to emotionally grow.
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:39.920
And that's where the inner child work comes in today.
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:49.199
And that whole concept, some of the beliefs, the social beliefs, and I challenge social beliefs all the time.
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:50.159
I do.
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:50.639
Why?
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:56.159
Because the social beliefs of our yesterday don't work anymore in our today's and tomorrow.
00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:56.960
It doesn't.
00:43:57.199 --> 00:43:58.000
It just doesn't.
00:43:58.159 --> 00:43:59.599
It worked in the past, it doesn't work in.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:00.639
The future.
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:01.599
Think about it.
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:05.920
200 years ago, social belief was owning a human perfectly fine.
00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:07.199
Doesn't work.
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:10.079
Didn't work then, atrocity now.
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:13.599
Well, the same idea happens just in different ways.
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:20.639
Years ago, I grew up in a family, literally, big boys do not cry.
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:22.800
Period.
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:26.000
So every time you said, now what do you do?
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:26.880
Nothing.
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:29.920
You deny it, you push it down, you stuff it.
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:30.800
Why?
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:34.880
Because who gave me that belief in this particular example is my dad.
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:36.639
What am I trying to do as a kid?
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:38.079
I'm trying to please my father.
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:39.679
How would I please my father?
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:42.559
He says, don't cry, don't cry, pleases him.
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:44.159
So think about that.
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:46.719
Was he right?
00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:47.360
No.
00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:48.559
Was he trying to hurt me?
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:50.320
No, he's just unconscious.
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:56.239
But his literal social belief was big boys don't cry.
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:57.360
What was he trying to do?
00:44:57.440 --> 00:44:58.400
He's trying to make me tough.
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:01.199
He's trying to make me strong, face the world, be fierce.
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:02.320
I get it.
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:03.519
Did it work?
00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:07.280
No, it turned me into a rageholic alcoholic, literally.
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:08.719
But was that his fault?
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:10.400
No, it wasn't.
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:12.559
And how do we change it?
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:14.480
We're the generation of change.
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:15.199
How do I change it?
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:16.559
How do I know so much different?
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:22.320
Well, I've been in therapy for, I was in therapy for 40, 30 years, literally, healing all of that stuff.
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:30.800
So the belief systems, the social belief systems in from the emotional perspective, was never honored.
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:32.000
It just wasn't.
00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:37.119
The whole the belief of little girls are to be seen, not heard.
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:39.760
You know, little girls don't get mad.
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:41.440
Oh, you're a bad little girl.
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:45.119
If you get angry, don't you dare talk back to me.
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:49.199
Like, how do you, how dare you have an opinion that's not mine?
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:52.079
All those types of beliefs.
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:56.800
They were social belief systems that we grew up in as kids.
00:45:56.960 --> 00:46:01.519
And if you haven't grown beyond it, you're teaching your kids the same thing now.
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:09.920
Now, am I suggesting that you allow your kids to take their emotion out any way they want?
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:12.000
No, that's not healthy.
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:16.800
I'm suggesting that you teach them that emotions are okay from now.
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:17.920
Why?
00:46:18.159 --> 00:46:21.679
Because we want our kids to be different than we were.
00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:25.760
And then how do we heal the void in us?
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:28.559
That's where the dual-hand journaling comes into play.
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:29.360
It is.
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:48.239
Because so very often, what happens is one of the ways that the external world guides us, and one of the ways that we live and make decisions is that we're still acting out, trying to get approval from our father with the big boys don't cry.
00:46:48.400 --> 00:47:00.559
The difference is the approval, you're trying to still get an approval from a boss or a partner or somebody at church or somebody that you work with or a buddy that you drink with, or whatever.
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:11.199
So you're literally still living today the wounded belief system you were persecuted with as a child.
00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:14.079
Now, do we think about it being persecuted?
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:16.320
No, we didn't even know any different.
00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:18.400
Most people don't even know.
00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:21.039
And so, how do what do we do about it?
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:38.320
We want to start thinking about and writing down all of the limiting belief systems that your family unit was created around 50 years ago that caused a sense of okayness 50 years ago.
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:40.239
Somebody get mad in my house.
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:41.920
I don't know what my dad would have done.
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:44.480
He wouldn't have tolerated it, that's for sure.
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:50.079
And I've said in my book, I literally felt like I took, no, I take my life in my own hands.
00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:54.320
Again, get my book, filling the void, joemitica.com, please download it.
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:55.199
It's for free.
00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:56.800
And because it'll help you.
00:47:57.119 --> 00:47:59.760
You literally read it, you read all my stuff.
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:15.360
So where you start is you think back on all of the different belief systems that you were taught to, which the ones that are unhealthy are the ones that would deny you.
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:19.840
And 95% of them was denying an emotional you.
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:31.280
Now, there are a lot of people, most, that if a kid talks back to their parent, in other words, a kid has a belief system different than their parent, they'll get scolded.
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:33.039
They might even get spanked.
00:48:33.199 --> 00:48:35.920
How dare you talk back to me?
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:41.440
That there's a fine line there, folks, and you gotta find it.
00:48:41.679 --> 00:49:00.320
You have to find it because there is a if we do not allow our kids to have belief systems different than ours, then we're creating the same robot that we went to therapist for 20 years to heal.
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:03.360
Am I saying let your kid be disrespectful?
00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:03.920
No.
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:11.199
But I am saying it is okay for your kids and people around you to have a different belief than yours.
00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:16.000
And you do not want to make them wrong because they have a different belief.
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:20.400
Now, just because they have a different belief doesn't mean they get their way.
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:20.880
Why?
00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:31.119
Because you're the parent, and you make the decision of what you believe is the most safe and productive thing for the child.
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:37.599
And just because they don't get their way doesn't mean that their belief has to be squashed.
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:39.760
And I'll give you a perfect example.
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:53.280
We've got neighbors around, and there's a neighbor girl who now is grown out, but when she was little, if she talked back, like say no to her parents, she get grounded for a week.
00:49:53.440 --> 00:50:18.639
And I'm thinking to myself, if they don't let her say no at 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, then what happens when she's in the car with a freshman football player who's got all the hormones raging and wants something other than her conversation, if she doesn't know how to say no, now what happens?
00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:25.599
She ends up getting herself in a physical situation because is it right or wrong?
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:26.239
No.
00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:28.559
Should the boy be able to be in control?
00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:29.440
Yes.
00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:38.800
And if a young girl isn't taught how to say no, isn't validated how to say no, isn't supported 100% to say no.
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:46.400
A lot of times young girls get themselves in positions where the end result is not what they want.
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:53.360
And in this particular, in that particular type of example, that didn't happen to our neighbor friend, but it sure could have.
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:58.320
Could you want your kids to have the ability to say no?
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:04.000
That does not mean they're going to have the ability to do what they want, but they can say no.
00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:04.559
Why?
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:10.000
Because that's them creating their own sense of autonomy, their own sense of space.
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:14.320
They're identifying themselves different than you.
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:16.639
And for a lot of you, that's going to be a stretch.
00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:18.639
It's going to be an absolute stretch.
00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:23.599
A lot of marriages will agree to disagree, which I love the concept.
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:24.480
Why?
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:26.559
Because there's two of you.
00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:37.519
And Johnny might like it hot, and Susie might like it cold, and Freddie might like yellow, and Susie might like orange, and somebody might be whatever, you know?
00:51:38.079 --> 00:51:38.880
And that's okay.
00:51:39.039 --> 00:51:41.440
You can love each other, anyways, and disagree.
00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:50.320
And where arguments come in is not I like red, you like blue, we disagree, let's move on.
00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:56.480
Where arguments come in is I like red, you like blue, you're wrong for liking blue, you need to like red.
00:51:56.639 --> 00:52:00.480
I'm not wrong for liking blue is better, you're wrong for liking red, blue, whatever.
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:01.920
You know what I'm talking about.
00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:08.079
And it's in the need to control and change somebody else's mind, is where arguments come into play.
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:09.199
And why do we do that?
00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:10.400
Because we're trying to get approval.
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:11.679
Why are we trying to do that?
00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:17.360
Because as a kid, the only way we get approval from our parents is to do what the heck our parents say.
00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:20.960
And that's why we grow up vacant inside.
00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:31.440
Every time 50 years ago, you were not able to express mad, glad, sad, or scared, and that got suppressed inside of you, there's a hurt and there's a wound inside of you.
00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:33.760
Does that mean it has to dominate your life?
00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:34.320
No.
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:40.960
But does it mean that for most of you it's been dominating your external decisions?
00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:42.079
Yes.
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:45.679
And that's the whole idea.
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:59.920
How and where, what happened that causes us to have to make decisions because the way the world wants us to see it, the way the world defines us as okay.
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:02.719
And where it starts is as a kid.
00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:14.960
Where it starts literally is we will do what our parents tell us to do, which is the denial of self, the denial of emotion, the denial of empowerment.
00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:18.880
Big boys don't cry, denial of emotion.
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:36.719
Don't you dare get mad at me, denial of self, don't you ever say no to me, denial of empowerment, literally, and then we grow up with that whole emotional capacity not there.
00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:38.400
And what does that cause?
00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:39.599
Internal angst.
00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:41.360
How do we solve it?
00:53:41.679 --> 00:54:00.320
X seeking external approval by being the good boy, seeking external approval by agreeing, never saying no, seeking external approval or external abundance by producing and creating gratitude.
00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:04.639
Is there anything wrong literally with any of it?
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:05.280
No.
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:08.159
Well, then why are we talking about it, Joe?
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:11.039
Well, because for a lot of you, it doesn't work anymore.
00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:12.320
It just doesn't.
00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:17.280
You're looking at your lives right now and saying, my external world is good, but I've got a hole in my belly.
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:18.079
Now what?
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:26.320
You know, you've been in therapy for 15 years, five years, 10 years, whatever the it is, and you just can't do it the way you used to do it anymore.
00:54:26.559 --> 00:54:34.639
Well, the how-to is identify the old beliefs, embrace the old emotions that are stuffed.
00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:40.079
So we kind of start moving out of and we identify the internal emotion.
00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:54.320
And then the more we identify our own internal emotion, then our need to take external action steps in the pursuit of approval from somebody outside, it just goes away more and more and more.
00:54:54.559 --> 00:55:11.039
And it's very, very interesting because there's a lot of people out there that what happens is because they're not taught when there's something uncomfortable to go inside, they then just blame the external world.
00:55:11.280 --> 00:55:18.079
And then they either cut the external world off or make the external world wrong or make somebody else wrong or try to fix somebody else.
00:55:18.239 --> 00:55:31.760
But when in reality, the only reason they're trying to fix somebody or make the world wrong or whatever is because they're hurting themselves, because the act of the external world is causing an angst in their inside world.
00:55:32.079 --> 00:55:45.760
And that's where we want to look at when you're when you get when you see a peaked emotion, when you see a heightened emotion, instead of acting on it, slow down and get with your emotional sense of self.
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:53.280
And that's where we literally can move from unconscious acting out of behavior patterns to conscious.
00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:55.119
And that's the same type of thing.
00:55:55.280 --> 00:56:05.519
When you catch yourself, when you see yourself taking actions, pursuing the approval of somebody else, whatever it might look like.
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:12.320
I bought a new jag and my buddy's got a new Porsche, and I'm trying to impress him with my Jag over his Porsche, whatever the it is.
00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:22.639
When you start seeing, whenever you have somebody else's name in your decision-making process, that's codependence.
00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:28.960
That's an outside influence guiding your internal decisions.
00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:39.440
And the reason you're doing that, hold patterns, and the reason you're living it is you're trying to create an okayness by the external world.
00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:47.119
So what we want to do is create an okayness in the internal world, and then those external behaviors naturally change.
00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:56.000
How we can start right now, and part of my belief of all of us, the generation of change, and why are we the generation of change?
00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:59.440
Because we're already at a different level of consciousness.
00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:02.800
Some of the stuff I say for a lot of you, it's routine.
00:57:02.880 --> 00:57:05.440
You already know it, you're living past it forever.
00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:08.000
Some of you, you're hearing it for the first time.
00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:17.440
Well, the whole idea we help empower our kids, that's part of the generation of change.
00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:32.079
We give to our children what our parents did not give to us, that availability because we are more consciously awake, we're more consciously practiced, we're more consciously, we're more consciously spiritually living it already.
00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:42.559
And one of the techniques to do is start teaching your kids and people around you that are willing that they can hear their own thoughts.
00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:52.159
Unless the conversation comes up, a youngster doesn't sit back and say, Oh my gosh, I hear my glass, empty voices.
00:57:52.400 --> 00:58:05.039
No, they don't even know that it is, but as their parent, you can start teaching your kids to hear their own thoughts right now.
00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:08.639
We did it this is not long ago.
00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:14.320
My friend, my my son has this amazing young female that's a great friend.
00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:17.280
Now, this is a genius woman.
00:58:17.679 --> 00:58:21.039
She's I don't want to call her kid, she ain't she's 18.
00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:24.159
Everybody, anybody under 40 is a kid to me, just so you know.
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:29.199
But her dominant language, her primary language is Spanish.
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:31.199
She's never gotten to be in her entire life.
00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:32.719
Complete genius.
00:58:33.039 --> 00:58:43.760
And my son asked her, he said, so when you're reading something, do you read it in English, interpret it in Spanish, and then put it back out there?
00:58:44.079 --> 00:58:48.239
And the first time he asked her the question, no one had ever asked her that question.
00:58:48.400 --> 00:58:49.599
She didn't know.
00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:52.719
So, you know, he didn't change it, went on, whatever.
00:58:52.960 --> 00:59:00.320
Well, now she has a consciousness because the question was asked, and she said, you know what?
00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:04.320
I took a test, she got like a 1580 on the SAT or something.
00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:12.960
And she said, The only reason I got I missed a couple, she got uh 800 in math, she missed a little in the English part because it was in English.
00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:15.760
If it had been in Spanish, she'd have aced both of them.
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:17.360
She's that kind of genius.
00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:20.559
And she said, it was in the interpretation.
00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:22.320
I'm reading it, right?
00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:28.000
And then I have to put it in Spanish in my head, and then I have to interpret the Spanish and then put it back out in English.
00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:33.360
She said, and she's now aware of the process that it goes on in her own brain.
00:59:33.519 --> 00:59:37.280
Before she just intuitively did it, never even knew, didn't no one asked, no one thought.
00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:42.639
Well, you can do that with your own kids right now, literally, right now, tomorrow morning.
00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:44.719
Ask them what they're thinking.
00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:45.920
Ask them.
00:59:46.159 --> 00:59:48.320
And they're gonna say, Well, I don't know.
00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:51.840
And then you say, Well, you've got a test coming up, right?
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:54.159
What are your thoughts about the test?
00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:56.320
What are you thinking about the test?
00:59:56.559 --> 00:59:58.880
And then whatever they say, honor it.
00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:00.639
Doesn't mean whatever it is.
01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:03.039
You get them thinking about their own thoughts.
01:00:03.440 --> 01:00:07.920
The other thing you can do right now, I do it, I've done it with my kids their entire lives.
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:22.559
You can teach them that their gifts are of God, their literal gifts, their abilities, their ability to add one plus one is a God-given gift.
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:27.760
You can teach your children that there is a higher presence.
01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:32.000
They are a spiritual being, and they might think you're wacky, they're gonna think you're crazy, whatever.
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:32.320
I don't know.
01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:34.239
I don't care what they think, quite honestly.
01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:37.440
I care that you start the dialogue with them now.
01:00:38.239 --> 01:00:41.360
And does this have anything to do with religion?
01:00:41.679 --> 01:00:42.960
No, not at all.
01:00:43.199 --> 01:00:51.679
You can teach your kids that Jesus, you're following Jesus, the the teachings of Jesus, or the consciousness of Jesus is inside of you.
01:00:51.840 --> 01:00:53.039
How do you do it?
01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:56.400
How do you truly follow what Jesus wants you to follow?
01:00:56.639 --> 01:00:58.880
Well, that voice is in you too.
01:00:59.039 --> 01:01:00.880
You can teach your kids that.
01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:10.000
You can also teach your kids that their instinct, their gut instinct, is something to be aware of.
01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:17.199
If something feels uncomfortable, be aware of the uncomfortable feeling.
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:21.519
Don't deny it, don't dismiss it, don't act like it's not there.
01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:30.719
And most kids deny, dismiss, and act like it's not there because there's never been conscious conversation around it in the first place.
01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:42.639
So at the dinner table, at the at breakfast or whatever, especially you listeners out here that have young females in your world, their bellies are open.
01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:46.239
Their gut instinct is already in them.
01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:49.440
And for a lot of them, it's there and they don't know it.
01:01:49.679 --> 01:01:51.360
They're just not aware of it.
01:01:51.519 --> 01:01:54.000
You can start that conversation right now.
01:01:54.639 --> 01:01:55.280
Why?
01:01:55.679 --> 01:02:03.760
Because the more you bring their awareness that it's in them, as they get older, then they learn to follow it.
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:05.920
I've used this example before.
01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:08.719
My oldest son, he always has an arm guard on.
01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:11.039
A couple two or three years ago, he goes out there.
01:02:11.119 --> 01:02:12.000
I see no arm guard.
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:14.559
He got rushed on his elbow.
01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:21.599
And he gets plucked right on the elbow, 90 mile an hour fastball, right on that spot where he would have had an arm guard.
01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:23.679
And I said to him later, because it hurt.
01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:24.960
He never hurt.
01:02:25.119 --> 01:02:26.960
And he muscled through it.
01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:30.480
And I said, Why no arm guard?
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:32.480
He says, Well, I got rushed.
01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:34.880
He said, and he said it to me.
01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:38.320
I heard a part tell me I should go put it on, but I ignored it.
01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:42.880
And I said to him, I said, Well, you know, in the future, you probably don't want to ignore that voice.
01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:44.159
Everybody will wait.
01:02:44.400 --> 01:02:48.320
The 23 seconds it would have taken him to put the arm guard on.
01:02:48.559 --> 01:03:00.880
And I'm not saying you have to have extreme experiences, but bring your bring the people around you the awareness of their gut instincts because it's in them.
01:03:01.039 --> 01:03:03.599
And they just need someone to talk with it about.
01:03:04.320 --> 01:03:07.119
How are we, the generation of change?
01:03:07.679 --> 01:03:17.119
Just doing those two things, helping young people know that they can hear their thoughts, you awaken them much earlier.
01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:20.320
Unconscious, we don't know we can hear our thoughts.
01:03:20.559 --> 01:03:22.559
Conscious, we know we can hear our thoughts.
01:03:22.719 --> 01:03:24.559
When did you do it for the first time?
01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:28.480
Know the date, know the era of time, and then measure it.
01:03:28.639 --> 01:03:29.199
Why?
01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:42.800
Because when you can sit brushing your teeth and you say, you know what, this is 2026, and I had my first conscious thought in my high school prom uh in 1994, you do the math.
01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:49.760
That puts you on a conscious path for 32 years, unconscious, conscious.
01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:50.639
And you know what?
01:03:50.800 --> 01:04:00.000
The more we do that, the more we become consciously aware of how aware we are personally, each one of us, it raises the vibration all the way around.
01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:14.480
You have the ability to teach your youth and people around you just those general ideas, and then you start their process much earlier than yours, typically.
01:04:14.639 --> 01:04:17.679
And that's a really, really powerful thing.
01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:28.559
The whole concept also of the right brain, left brain, right brain is the creative side of self, left brain is the analytical side of self.
01:04:28.800 --> 01:04:36.800
More and more and more and more people are coming into this world with more of a right-brained approach.
01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:44.800
And the challenge with that is that most school systems, it's there's just too many kids.
01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:45.760
There's just too many.
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:49.360
This isn't a judgment at all, not a shaming at all.
01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:58.239
But a lot of school systems are not designed around for to educate for the right brained person.
01:04:58.639 --> 01:05:02.480
And no, you're not stupid, you're not dumb, you're none of that stuff.
01:05:02.639 --> 01:05:04.880
Your brain works different.
01:05:05.360 --> 01:05:21.119
If you're the person on this call right now, and what are on this episode right now, if you're the person and somebody asks you to add six plus nine plus four, if that takes you longer than four seconds, you're probably right brained.
01:05:21.280 --> 01:05:22.880
Does that make it wrong?
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:23.440
No.
01:05:23.840 --> 01:05:32.880
But what I want you to understand, for a lot of adults right here on this podcast, a lot of you are right brained.
01:05:32.960 --> 01:05:41.440
And a lot of you have had a challenge your entire adult life, adding numbers or processing things fast or interpreting information quickly.
01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:42.079
Why?
01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:45.599
Because the right brain functions differently.
01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:52.320
For the right brain human, one plus one plus one a lot of times is a triangle, not three.
01:05:52.559 --> 01:05:59.280
Now, for the left brain human that has the mental capacity to add, one plus one plus one is three.
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:08.880
My oldest memorized the presidents, George Washington, John Adams, all the way through to whoever the president was at the time when he was 10.
01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:18.239
In two days, my youngest, who's extremely right-brained, one plus one plus one plus one equals two, Ryan.
01:06:18.559 --> 01:06:20.159
One plus one equals two.
01:06:20.320 --> 01:06:21.119
He would repeat.
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:28.480
Blank.
01:06:28.719 --> 01:06:30.400
You see his eyes looking.
01:06:30.719 --> 01:06:35.440
The answer wasn't in his head yet in a third grade.
01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:36.159
It wasn't.
01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:46.400
So we did all sorts of things to educate his brain, which learns different than a left brain person.
01:06:46.800 --> 01:06:54.880
Now, my youngest, who's an absolute modern-day Mozart, he sees patterns, he can play anything on the piano he wants.
01:06:55.119 --> 01:07:05.760
His capacity to remember, because we took the time when he was young to educate him from a right brain perspective is really, really powerful.
01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:17.920
I wish, I don't, I wish right now I could give you a website to go to if you've got right brain kids, because they are going to learn differently than your left brain kids.
01:07:18.079 --> 01:07:24.960
And if most of us, you know, our kids have to be in public school, the public school, they just do it differently.
01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:27.119
Public school is more about memorization.
01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:30.559
And the right brain kid has a challenging time memorizing.
01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:31.280
They just do.
01:07:31.519 --> 01:07:36.719
Not because there's anything wrong with them, their brain works differently.
01:07:36.960 --> 01:07:45.039
And quite honestly, that's why my kids have been homeschooled here at the house since my oldest, my youngest was in the third grade.
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:46.239
He's in the ninth grade now.
01:07:46.320 --> 01:07:47.039
And it worked.
01:07:47.280 --> 01:07:49.119
Ryan has to read things out loud.
01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:50.320
He always did.
01:07:50.559 --> 01:07:52.400
Couldn't do that in the middle of a classroom.
01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:53.119
Couldn't.
01:07:53.360 --> 01:08:05.119
So I bring that up because a lot of you on this podcast, you yourself, you're playing cards and you got three cards, and you got a nine, you got a jack, and you got a four.
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:06.719
And it takes you a while to add those numbers.
01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:08.000
You want to count them on your fingers.
01:08:08.159 --> 01:08:08.960
Anything wrong with it?
01:08:09.199 --> 01:08:09.519
No.
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:22.079
But I want you to understand the right brain and the right brain person, that right brain learner, the right brain is also connected to the feminine side of self.
01:08:22.159 --> 01:08:27.520
And the feminine side of self is the part of self that's opening up to humanity in a huge way.
01:08:27.760 --> 01:08:37.359
So right brain people are also deeply compassionate, deeply loving, typically very kind, very spiritual, truly.
01:08:37.600 --> 01:08:44.399
You might have a challenge adding three numbers at the same time, but your ability to empathize and have compassion is off the charts.
01:08:44.800 --> 01:09:06.159
Well, if you're that person and you have people in your life who are those people, know that there are learning systems out there, and it's going to be happening more and more, where the right-brained learner has to be taught differently than most school systems, than most school systems have the ability to teach.
01:09:06.479 --> 01:09:11.600
I talked about there are guidance systems, and I'm going to briefly go through them.
01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:20.399
The next couple of podcasts, I'm going to talk about them in length, and then I want to tell you so my this how it fits so perfect, confusing.
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:30.239
So the whole idea of being guided outside in is the unconscious world, literally.
01:09:30.479 --> 01:09:42.000
The unconscious world, the entire pursuit of okayness is based on the belief of if I accomplish outside, I'll feel better inside.
01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:47.520
The unconscious world is the world that says that they don't even know they can hear their own thoughts.
01:09:47.680 --> 01:09:54.159
The unconscious world is a world that's kind of you live in absolute repeat patterns.
01:09:54.479 --> 01:10:01.439
Most of your pleasures are based on addiction, satiation, and that's just where people are.
01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:05.279
Everybody on this podcast knows dozens of people.
01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:07.680
They see it every day, and that's just where they are.
01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:08.479
Good or bad?
01:10:08.640 --> 01:10:10.159
No, just the facts.
01:10:10.399 --> 01:10:19.199
The next phase is where you go from completely unconscious to conscious, and conscious means you can hear your own thoughts.
01:10:19.680 --> 01:10:29.119
My first true, my second true conscious thought was the police officers are not trying to get me to stop drinking.
01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:32.880
They're trying to get me to stop drinking and driving.
01:10:33.119 --> 01:10:37.039
It's 40 years ago, literally, 20, uh, 30 years ago.
01:10:37.600 --> 01:10:43.119
And from that position, I started to be able to hear my own thoughts.
01:10:43.359 --> 01:10:51.359
And that's way back when the whole positive affirmation concept was like fantastic, because I'd hear all these crazy thoughts and I wanted to fix them.
01:10:51.520 --> 01:11:02.880
Because the next phase after going from conscious to unconscious, I mean from unconscious to conscious, and then you start that the voices you hear are going to be glass empty voices.
01:11:03.119 --> 01:11:14.159
They're going to be fear-based, hate-based, hurt-based voices, voices that are always pursuing and making decisions based on afraid of not getting what you want or afraid of losing what you have.
01:11:14.399 --> 01:11:15.600
Hear what I said.
01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:26.880
When you're living from the guidance system of your fear, 99% of your decisions are based on the fear of not getting what you want or the fear of losing what you have.
01:11:27.119 --> 01:11:29.279
And that's kind of that position.
01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:33.680
You can hear them, so you're not unconscious.
01:11:34.000 --> 01:11:36.720
And it's more than just hearing thoughts.
01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:43.760
Now you start hearing phrases and you start associating emotion with the phrases.
01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:45.439
That's kind of the next level.
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:47.680
That's kind of the next position.
01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:58.960
Well, after that, then we start healing a little bit, and we want to start moving from fear-based voices guiding us to our glass empty voices to glass full.
01:11:59.119 --> 01:12:00.000
How do we do that?
01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:13.199
We write down the glass empty voices, which is called a first step, bullet point, bullet point, and again get the book at um joemitiga.com because I go through, I have hundreds of them.
01:12:13.359 --> 01:12:16.720
And in the book, I've got, I don't know, 50.
01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:17.920
And why do I say it?
01:12:18.079 --> 01:12:22.560
Because as you read my voices, you're gonna say, oh my God, I have that one, I have that one, I have that one, I have that one.
01:12:22.640 --> 01:12:23.439
It just helps.
01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:25.039
And write them down yourself.
01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:33.520
And then we go from glass empty, and then why do we want to shift from glass empty voices to glass full voices?
01:12:33.600 --> 01:12:36.560
Because our glass empty voices is hurt guiding us.
01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:41.119
Glass full voices are which are gonna be more inclusive, if you will.
01:12:41.359 --> 01:12:57.359
More glass empty voices are gonna be all or nothing, red or black or white, where an all-inclusive voice, which is gonna be more of a higher you, a different you, a grander you, a more okay you, it's gonna be more of an inclusive voice.
01:12:57.520 --> 01:13:10.000
It's gonna sound like, well, maybe we can go on a trip, or maybe we're gonna get this new job, or maybe we can make more money, or the maybes, the possibilities, and that's the glassful voice.
01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:17.279
Well, eventually with the glassful voices, a guidance system that comes into play is emotion.
01:13:17.600 --> 01:13:23.199
And we say, if it feels right emotionally, then it's right.
01:13:24.800 --> 01:13:25.920
It's a great place.
01:13:26.079 --> 01:13:33.359
It's much better than being completely unconscious, and it's much better than being guided by your glass empty voices.
01:13:33.680 --> 01:13:42.479
But your emotional guidance system is the most fragile, unpredictable, set you up for challenge that there is.
01:13:42.720 --> 01:13:44.560
Is it better than the others?
01:13:44.800 --> 01:13:50.399
Better meaning, is it a higher vibrational you in pursuit?
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:51.359
Yes.
01:13:52.079 --> 01:14:03.760
And I have an amazing story that happened to me literally 25 years ago, where I was truly following my feelings, and I followed them right into a brick wall.
01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:07.199
And I'll tell that story when I do that later.
01:14:07.600 --> 01:14:11.119
The next place after that is we get into discernment.
01:14:11.520 --> 01:14:21.199
And from a place of discernment, what beyond emotion, and then we discern the possibilities of okayness.
01:14:21.359 --> 01:14:34.960
We discern the possibilities of result and possibility, and there's not a whole lot of time associated with it, and it's more discernment than emotion.
01:14:35.279 --> 01:14:44.079
And all of that, when you get to discernment, discernment of decision-making process removes emotion.
01:14:44.319 --> 01:14:56.079
When you make the decision based on discernment, there's going to be an afforable emotion, andor the emotion because you might discern it's not the right time to go on a trip.
01:14:56.560 --> 01:15:03.760
So because of the facts of you don't have enough money and blah, blah, blah, whatever it is.
01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:11.199
So there's going to be emotional consequence to your discernment, but the emotion isn't what's making the decision.
01:15:11.439 --> 01:15:12.399
Discernment is.
01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:23.760
And when we get to discernment, that is the that is the most stable and self-loving because it brings in all possibilities.
01:15:24.000 --> 01:15:31.520
And we discern the pros, we discern the cons, we talk it through, we allow time to be part of the creation of the decision.
01:15:31.920 --> 01:15:38.560
And once we discern and make a decision, then there's going to be emotional consequence.
01:15:38.880 --> 01:15:43.920
Highs, lows, greats, not anger, fear, mad glad, sad, or scared somewhere, somehow.
01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:47.920
All of that is all part of the human development.
01:15:48.239 --> 01:16:05.039
Unconscious to conscious, conscious voices to glass, conscious, being able to hear your thoughts, being conscious, then being aware that your glass empty voices are guiding you, going from glass empty voices guiding you to glass full voices guiding you.
01:16:05.279 --> 01:16:09.119
Then from glass full voices guiding you, you go to does it feel right?
01:16:09.279 --> 01:16:12.239
We start bringing in emotion, again, all human.
01:16:12.399 --> 01:16:15.039
Then we transcend emotion, we go to discernment.
01:16:15.439 --> 01:16:19.600
And I thought that was the end point.
01:16:20.239 --> 01:16:22.399
It's not, that's the launch.
01:16:22.640 --> 01:16:24.159
Because what's the next place?
01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:26.239
It's called following your knowings.
01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:32.319
And a knowing is not of your humanity, a knowing is of your divinity.
01:16:32.479 --> 01:16:35.119
And I'm not going to talk more much about that now.
01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:45.279
In future podcasts, I'm going to go through each one of those things and give stories and experiences of just the guidance system development in consciousness, how we do it.
01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:54.720
And from a place of knowings, emotion is removed, humanity is removed, quite honestly, literally, because your knowings are of your divinity.
01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:59.359
Now, your divinity can have the knowing, it's so your humanity that has to take the action step.
01:16:59.439 --> 01:17:02.000
That's where the communion comes in.
01:17:02.159 --> 01:17:06.880
But when you're following your knowings, emotions are not part of the equation.
01:17:07.359 --> 01:17:13.680
And that whole experience of following your knowings, as you get practiced with it, it's cool.
01:17:13.840 --> 01:17:14.800
It's a great feeling.
01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:15.760
It really is.
01:17:16.159 --> 01:17:19.680
Now, does it satiate your humanity?
01:17:19.920 --> 01:17:20.800
Sometimes.
01:17:21.039 --> 01:17:22.720
A lot of times, no, it doesn't.
01:17:22.880 --> 01:17:23.279
Why?
01:17:23.520 --> 01:17:26.640
Because your divinity isn't here to satiate your humanity.
01:17:26.880 --> 01:17:36.000
Your divinity is here to bring your humanity's perspective equal to your divinity so you can live as one truly.
01:17:36.479 --> 01:17:42.000
Where humanity is always trying to pursue an action step that satiates itself.
01:17:42.319 --> 01:17:43.600
Is that a bad thing?
01:17:43.920 --> 01:17:44.239
No.
01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:48.960
But it's a limiting thing, just is.
01:17:49.199 --> 01:17:49.760
Why?
01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:53.520
Because it's self-satiating self.
01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:59.600
And a lot of times, you know, gratitude, and that's not arrogant or ego, but it is human.
01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:13.119
When you shift out of your human being guided, and you move into knowings, your knowings are of your divinity, and your knowings are clearer, they're stronger, they're they have more of a foundation to them.
01:18:13.279 --> 01:18:17.760
And then learning how to follow it is learning how to live from faith.
01:18:18.079 --> 01:18:29.039
And that's easy as long as what you believe you're knowing is the direction you're knowing is taking you, as long as it just keeps unfolding.
01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:37.199
And that's where this past week the Wii podcast started November the 11th, I think, 2025.
01:18:37.359 --> 01:18:39.520
So we're right now 11 months old.
01:18:39.680 --> 01:18:41.840
Well, it has exploded.
01:18:42.159 --> 01:18:45.199
Because of all of you, the Wii Podcast has exploded.
01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:48.560
And as I'm watching it explode, how do I know it explodes?
01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:52.000
I see the numbers periodically, but I see rankings.
01:18:52.239 --> 01:19:21.039
And you know, four million active podcasts when the Wii podcast with no not one characteristic of every, unlike every other podcast that's on the top chart, every other podcast had a massive amount of money, a massive amount of support, a massive amount of business behind, a massive amount of people behind.
01:19:21.520 --> 01:19:23.920
The We Podcast was a man in a microphone.
01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:26.159
That's why the story is so unique.
01:19:26.479 --> 01:19:32.479
And because of all of you, the Wii Podcast ranks in the top 200.
01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:41.760
And for two months, three months, it was in the top 50, reached up to the 34th ranking of four million websites.
01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:43.520
So, why do I say all that?
01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:56.880
Because my knowing of my higher purpose and a grander me of healing humanity by mirroring back consciousness and sharing people, how did I become one with a power greater than myself?
01:19:57.119 --> 01:20:02.880
It wasn't by pursuit of a relationship with God, it was by healing the depths of my emotions.
01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:10.239
Every time I healed deeper, my awakening of a grander me became the consequence.
01:20:10.399 --> 01:20:13.760
And it all kind of clicked together over these past four or five years.
01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:20.880
And that all fits because the emotional side or the female side of self is emotion and spirit.
01:20:21.439 --> 01:20:24.159
Well, following, following, following, right?
01:20:24.319 --> 01:20:32.720
And the knowing is being represented by the rankings, by the numbers, by all of you that I'm on the path.
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:35.920
Because we're talking now, because the man has to make the decision.
01:20:36.079 --> 01:20:42.159
The man is the one following my knowings, following a grander me.
01:20:42.640 --> 01:20:46.960
And again, it's easy when you see the result.
01:20:47.760 --> 01:21:01.199
Well, October the 5th, the Wii podcast for three, two and a half months was in the top charts, went from the top charts to gone, out of the top charts.
01:21:01.439 --> 01:21:03.760
And I'm like, like, what happened?
01:21:04.000 --> 01:21:05.600
I just didn't know, right?
01:21:05.920 --> 01:21:10.720
And then the top the Wii podcast was the number three ranked podcast in education.
01:21:11.039 --> 01:21:15.920
And for the two or three days in a row, it went from three to 27 to 50.
01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:21.840
I'm literally watching it go down and then eventually off the education charts.
01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:27.680
And I say all of this because my humanity, the man, I say it all the time.
01:21:27.840 --> 01:21:32.960
There's a man here, my divinity speaking, but there's a man here talking.
01:21:33.359 --> 01:21:42.079
It was giving the human man in me comfort to see that I'm following and knowing and doing what I'm being guided to do.
01:21:42.319 --> 01:21:51.439
But there was still for my humanity, it brought me comfort and celebration to see the rankings because it was something my humanity could put my hands on.
01:21:51.600 --> 01:21:52.239
I could see it.
01:21:52.319 --> 01:21:54.079
It was a physical thing.
01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:58.560
And when it was just removed out of nowhere, it's all computer, right?
01:21:58.720 --> 01:22:00.399
I don't know how the heck I got there.
01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:02.000
And then it's just removed.
01:22:02.239 --> 01:22:11.199
I went through a four-day period of time where disappointed emotions, of course, confused, like what happened?
01:22:11.439 --> 01:22:16.479
And then because I just don't know this world, I thought, like, did I do something?
01:22:16.640 --> 01:22:17.199
I don't know.
01:22:17.359 --> 01:22:19.520
I didn't know at all.
01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:26.319
And what I found over that four-day period of time, the first day, there was a lot of emotion.
01:22:26.479 --> 01:22:28.319
And then eventually the emotions away.
01:22:28.399 --> 01:22:32.880
So I'm in my sacred silence, which five, six hours a day.
01:22:33.119 --> 01:22:37.520
Remember, everybody, do your five minutes, work up to an hour.
01:22:37.680 --> 01:22:38.079
Why?
01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:43.600
Because you want to get guided by a power greater, you'll find it in your silence, the soft voice in your silence.
01:22:43.760 --> 01:22:51.760
I'm still doing five or six hours every day, and about probably 7,000 pieces into a 40,000-piece puzzle.
01:22:51.840 --> 01:22:53.600
I do puzzles in my silence.
01:22:54.000 --> 01:23:06.399
Well, it was after that first day, and I wrote my voices that I realized that I had to go deeper in me to find the faith that I'm still okay.
01:23:06.640 --> 01:23:08.159
I'm on the path.
01:23:08.399 --> 01:23:15.520
There was a silence because there wasn't external stimulus with the rankings gone.
01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:30.239
And for a four-day period of time, I'm in this complete state of blankness, not questioning whether I'm right or wrong, but simply not knowing.
01:23:30.560 --> 01:23:45.680
And in the not knowing, I was able to identify, and I felt a surrender in me saying, I don't have to know, because it's all in God's hands.
01:23:45.920 --> 01:23:51.760
And just because I don't see the we podcast on the Apple charts doesn't mean it's not in God's hands.
01:23:52.079 --> 01:23:56.000
And after about that three days, and believe me, it's uncomfortable.
01:23:56.239 --> 01:24:01.199
It is easy to have faith when everything internal and external is the same.
01:24:01.600 --> 01:24:06.960
But the external has was such a heightened uniqueness.
01:24:07.199 --> 01:24:10.640
And my goal of helping 100 million people is unique.
01:24:11.119 --> 01:24:32.640
Well, when the visual was away and there wasn't external stimulus of celebration, which is me with me, and a three-day, four-day place of just deep silence with no guidance, with no take this action, take that action, just silence.
01:24:32.960 --> 01:24:41.680
And in that silence, there was a part of me that went from concern, the human in me that went to concern that said, I'm good.
01:24:42.880 --> 01:24:44.079
This is a God thing.
01:24:44.159 --> 01:24:45.439
This is not a Joe thing.
01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:47.840
God's, I don't know how it's going to end up.
01:24:48.000 --> 01:24:50.720
I don't know if I'll ever be on the charts again, an apple.
01:24:50.880 --> 01:24:51.439
I don't know.
01:24:51.600 --> 01:24:52.479
I just don't know.
01:24:52.640 --> 01:24:55.439
And and I don't see numbers, so I don't know.
01:24:55.520 --> 01:25:09.039
I didn't have any external validation, but I just felt this okayenness come over me because I and I felt myself having to go into a deeper place of faith that there's a God and it's not Joe.
01:25:09.119 --> 01:25:11.199
And I don't know why this was happening.
01:25:11.279 --> 01:25:12.319
And that happened.
01:25:12.560 --> 01:25:21.600
The very next day, I wake up and I get this inspiration to start pursuing, and I've been feeling this for a while.
01:25:21.760 --> 01:25:25.840
It's time for me to come out from behind the microphone and get on stages.
01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:35.760
It's time for me to come meet every one of you face to face, shake your hands, hug your necks, look eye to eye, become friends with all of you to get out there on stages.
01:25:36.239 --> 01:25:41.279
And so that was a guidance system, and I've started that process.
01:25:41.439 --> 01:25:50.319
And then about four days in, the part of me says, you know, you're the top trending podcast on Spotify.
01:25:50.560 --> 01:25:52.399
And I was like, Oh.
01:25:53.600 --> 01:25:54.880
And why is that important?
01:25:55.119 --> 01:25:58.640
I keep talking about the rankings as if the rankings have something to do with me.
01:25:58.800 --> 01:25:59.199
Nada.
01:25:59.760 --> 01:26:03.680
The rankings mean all of there's just more and more of us listening.
01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:08.399
And the more I'm putting it out there and the more people are listening, there's just a grander sense.
01:26:08.560 --> 01:26:12.399
And I was like, oh, well, that's change.
01:26:13.279 --> 01:26:16.800
For 11 months, my focus was Apple.
01:26:17.199 --> 01:26:21.520
In that four-day period of blankness, then I saw Spotify.
01:26:21.680 --> 01:26:25.039
I didn't even notice how Spotify was two months ago.
01:26:25.279 --> 01:26:29.119
And I hear that there's more people on Spotify than Apple, which is fabulous.
01:26:29.279 --> 01:26:29.760
I don't know.
01:26:29.920 --> 01:26:31.119
I just don't know.
01:26:31.439 --> 01:26:37.760
But that change from one focus of celebration to the other, it takes time.
01:26:38.319 --> 01:26:44.880
In the gap between an old familiar and a new familiar, even though it's wonderful.
01:26:45.359 --> 01:26:55.359
And that's where I realized that your external accomplishments have zero to do with your internal guidance.
01:26:55.600 --> 01:26:56.399
Nothing.
01:26:56.640 --> 01:26:58.159
It's the other way around.
01:26:58.399 --> 01:27:02.800
And in those four days, five days, my internal guidance was silent.
01:27:03.279 --> 01:27:09.359
The old celebratory experience was blank in zero.
01:27:09.439 --> 01:27:15.119
So deep loss in the zero, in the not there anymore, the emotion I had to go through.
01:27:15.359 --> 01:27:32.079
And then as the new awareness of Spotify came up, that felt good, but it didn't, it was a difference because there's change, both amazing, both extraordinary, all of it because of all of you, all of it because of what we're doing together here.
01:27:32.159 --> 01:27:33.520
None of it, Joe.
01:27:33.920 --> 01:27:46.479
But I just want to explain the differences because you can be having something go on in your life and get a great new job and feel deeply sad because you're losing the old job.
01:27:46.640 --> 01:27:51.439
And the great new job might be$400,000 a year, and the old job was only$150,000.
01:27:51.600 --> 01:27:58.079
And the world, so you should be happy, but you're not because you're sad of losing the old job.
01:27:58.239 --> 01:27:59.680
Yes, that's the huge.
01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:03.119
Human emotional experience with the whole thing.
01:28:03.439 --> 01:28:24.000
And that experience of change, it doesn't matter when even when you go from grand to grandeur, which in this case is a I'm describing a grand to grandeur experience, there was still loss, there was still emotion, there was still void.
01:28:24.079 --> 01:28:25.920
And that's why it was still confusing.
01:28:26.079 --> 01:28:34.159
That's why when I say why life can feel so confusing, it fit me so perfectly this past week.
01:28:34.479 --> 01:28:48.399
And I'm wise enough to know, even though I'm so blessed, and the Wii Podcast is blessed to have a massive audience going on in Spotify, it did not negate the confusion of the other stuff.
01:28:48.640 --> 01:28:50.399
And that's the point here.
01:28:50.960 --> 01:29:05.680
As your world changes, as your world shifts, as your world becomes grander, just because your world becomes grander because you're following a grander you doesn't mean there's going to be immediate clarity, doesn't mean there's going to be immediate wonderment.
01:29:05.760 --> 01:29:08.640
That doesn't mean there's not going to be loss and sadness and fear.
01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:10.720
It means you're going to have all of it.
01:29:12.000 --> 01:29:13.359
Literally all of it.
01:29:13.439 --> 01:29:14.720
And is that a bad thing?
01:29:14.960 --> 01:29:15.199
No.
01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:20.960
I just want you to be aware of as you spiritually are growing, there's emotional consequences.
01:29:21.119 --> 01:29:24.239
And those emotional consequences, they're uncomfortable.
01:29:24.479 --> 01:29:27.039
Bottom line, they're uncomfortable.
01:29:27.359 --> 01:29:31.680
And in this particular experience, that's what I literally just went through.
01:29:31.840 --> 01:29:40.159
And this morning, out of nowhere, poofo, the Wii podcast back on education charts.
01:29:40.560 --> 01:29:44.159
And it goes like it's 157 out of 200.
01:29:44.319 --> 01:29:49.600
And then two hours later, 72, two hours later after that, this is all yesterday.
01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:55.600
And then I wake up this morning, we podcast, number four back in education, right where it left from.
01:29:55.760 --> 01:29:58.079
And then about midday, poofo.
01:29:58.560 --> 01:30:02.239
We podcast ranked 185 on top charts.
01:30:02.399 --> 01:30:06.399
And right now, 120, 121 on top charts.
01:30:06.640 --> 01:30:09.920
So literally, why did all that have to happen?
01:30:10.319 --> 01:30:10.880
I don't know.
01:30:11.119 --> 01:30:12.239
What actually happened?
01:30:12.399 --> 01:30:13.119
Clueless.
01:30:13.359 --> 01:30:14.479
What does Apple do?
01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:14.880
I don't know.
01:30:15.039 --> 01:30:16.720
Apple has a Apple's techno.
01:30:16.960 --> 01:30:20.560
I don't have any idea what Apple's doing, but what did it do for Joe?
01:30:21.359 --> 01:30:33.199
In a place of silence, there was a codependence in Joe that was using a visual of a ranking to cause me pleasure.
01:30:33.359 --> 01:30:33.760
Period.
01:30:33.920 --> 01:30:34.880
That's what it was.
01:30:35.039 --> 01:30:37.680
And when that was removed, I felt loss.
01:30:38.239 --> 01:30:40.720
Did I think that all of y'all stopped listening?
01:30:40.880 --> 01:30:43.039
No, I knew for a fact everybody was still listening.
01:30:43.119 --> 01:30:44.560
It was my own codependence.
01:30:44.640 --> 01:30:54.079
It was my own using of an external visual, in this case, a ranking, and looking and seeing that ranking caused me pleasure.
01:30:54.239 --> 01:30:55.119
It just did.
01:30:55.279 --> 01:30:57.840
It feels freaking good to see it.
01:30:58.319 --> 01:31:06.239
And the underlying reason it feels so good for Joe is because it just means more and more of us are doing it, more and more of us are healing.
01:31:06.560 --> 01:31:08.960
And that's all part of my higher purpose.
01:31:09.199 --> 01:31:13.920
But there was a human part of me that when it was gone, I was deeply disappointed.
01:31:14.319 --> 01:31:16.239
Did I push the disappointment away?
01:31:16.479 --> 01:31:16.720
No.
01:31:17.039 --> 01:31:18.800
Did I make the disappointment wrong?
01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:19.279
No.
01:31:19.520 --> 01:31:21.600
Did I write out the voices of the disappointment?
01:31:21.760 --> 01:31:22.239
Yes.
01:31:22.479 --> 01:31:28.079
The exact things I share with each of you, they're going to have things in your life you're going to be disappointed about.
01:31:28.239 --> 01:31:30.319
Write the voices down and feel the feelings.
01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:33.039
Just write them down and feel the feelings.
01:31:33.359 --> 01:31:42.399
And unlike what might be a human belief system that says, well, when I go more spiritual, everything's going to be grander.
01:31:42.960 --> 01:31:43.279
No.
01:31:44.000 --> 01:31:49.199
There's the gap between old spiritual and new spiritual, there's a gap.
01:31:49.359 --> 01:31:51.600
And in that gap, there's a human experience.
01:31:51.760 --> 01:31:54.079
And in that human experience, there's all sorts of emotions.
01:31:54.239 --> 01:31:55.520
What are they going to be?
01:31:55.680 --> 01:31:56.479
I don't know.
01:31:56.720 --> 01:31:57.359
Don't know.
01:31:57.520 --> 01:32:03.359
A lot of times it's lost because it's this the shedding of the skin, the snake, shedding of the skin.
01:32:03.680 --> 01:32:09.600
And on the other side, and you start filling in the new place of grandness.
01:32:09.760 --> 01:32:10.880
Is it all grander?
01:32:11.039 --> 01:32:12.239
Yes, it is.
01:32:12.560 --> 01:32:14.399
So literally, where do I sit today?
01:32:14.560 --> 01:32:17.119
Where do I, the human, the man, sit here today?
01:32:17.359 --> 01:32:18.319
Very grateful.
01:32:18.880 --> 01:32:34.479
Because I experienced and found the capacity to have a deeper sense of faith in a very deep, dark, no guidance, completely silent place, four days of complete silence.
01:32:34.560 --> 01:32:36.880
And I mean silence, external and internal.
01:32:37.279 --> 01:32:40.239
And comes out the other side, and here we are.
01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:46.159
So for all of us, we're growing, the process of growing.
01:32:46.239 --> 01:32:56.800
And I want you to understand that some of you are just waking up to the idea of I've lived my whole life doing this, and I've just outgrown it.
01:32:56.960 --> 01:32:59.119
And that's a confusing thing.
01:32:59.439 --> 01:33:04.880
Understand whatever you've done your whole life, just because you've outgrown it, doesn't make any of it wrong.
01:33:05.119 --> 01:33:07.600
It just means you're growing into something else.
01:33:07.760 --> 01:33:15.600
And you'll be amazed at all the growth you had and the techniques you use to acknowledge and to have the original successes.
01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:18.159
You'll use that in whatever your next adventure is.
01:33:18.319 --> 01:33:19.119
You just will.
01:33:19.520 --> 01:33:33.039
And as we all grow and we shift and we go through that void, the vacant, the dark, that that space and the space between old conscious and new conscious, when we're in the between the middle of, it's confusing.
01:33:33.199 --> 01:33:34.560
And you will feel lost.
01:33:34.720 --> 01:33:43.039
And I just want you to hear that in your place of lost, instead of believing there's something wrong, ask for strength and courage.
01:33:43.279 --> 01:33:46.880
Instead of thinking you've done something wrong, ask for guidance.
01:33:47.119 --> 01:33:59.920
Instead of feeling like, like, you know, the sadness and everything, write out the voices, embrace the emotion, and then ask for the courage to just sometimes sit in it.
01:34:00.000 --> 01:34:02.399
And that's what I did for four days.
01:34:02.640 --> 01:34:06.800
I sat in a blankness and had all the experiences.
01:34:07.039 --> 01:34:09.359
And now I'm on the other side.
01:34:09.680 --> 01:34:15.520
And I don't know what the next things will be, but whatever it is, I'll share with you.
01:34:15.760 --> 01:34:21.680
On the next episodes and all that, we're moving more and more into development of consciousness.
01:34:21.840 --> 01:34:23.920
We're talking about emotional growth.
01:34:24.079 --> 01:34:25.439
That was my path.
01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:32.560
And soon, hopefully, I'm going to be out there on the out the in the world and I'll get to meet you face to face.
01:34:32.960 --> 01:34:37.840
Please get my book, Filling the Void, joemitica.com.
01:34:38.159 --> 01:34:39.439
It was God guided.
01:34:39.520 --> 01:34:42.000
And I can promise you, there'll be something in there somewhere.
01:34:42.079 --> 01:34:44.399
If you're guided to get it for free, download it.
01:34:44.640 --> 01:34:47.439
There'll be something in there that you're going to know why you did it as you read it.
01:34:47.600 --> 01:34:49.279
I don't know what your it will be.
01:34:49.520 --> 01:34:50.399
It'll be there.
01:34:50.640 --> 01:34:55.119
With the episodes, let my voice keep you company during your challenging times.
01:34:55.279 --> 01:34:58.159
Let my voice celebrate with you during your happy times.
01:34:58.399 --> 01:35:01.760
Let my voice bring some clarity when you're confused.
01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:08.079
And let my voice challenge some of the things that the world around you has been telling you right or wrong.
01:35:08.239 --> 01:35:10.159
And you know, together, that's how we do it.
01:35:10.239 --> 01:35:12.800
That's why I say keep visiting the different episodes.
01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:19.439
One of the reasons the We Podcast ranks so high is because out of 64 episodes, 40 of them are still active.
01:35:19.680 --> 01:35:30.479
And that's what it's designed to do: to always be a resource, a library to support you in your personal, emotional, and spiritual growth.
01:35:30.640 --> 01:35:34.960
Emotional healing, spiritual growth, human transformation.
01:35:35.359 --> 01:35:37.279
That's what the Wii podcast is.
01:35:37.439 --> 01:35:39.680
And folks, together we're doing it.
01:35:39.920 --> 01:35:41.439
Together we're healing.
01:35:41.600 --> 01:35:43.039
Together we're growing.
01:35:43.199 --> 01:35:44.880
Together we're waking up.
01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:48.479
And truly, together, we're healing humanity.
01:35:48.720 --> 01:35:50.720
One smile at a time.
01:35:50.960 --> 01:35:55.680
And from around the world, I truly want to welcome you to We.
01:36:02.880 --> 01:36:06.640

00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:16.320
If you felt lonely, isolated, disconnected, with an empty feeling inside and just yearning for more, knowing something is missing, then this podcast is for you.
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.399
So here's your host, Joe Mittigan.
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.559
Hello and welcome to We.
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:40.079
Have you ever reached a point in your life when you began questioning everything you once believed would make you happy?
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:50.880
The career you wanted, the money you wanted to earn, the success you wanted to achieve, even the life you spent years working so hard to create.
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:57.200
And suddenly you begin wondering, why don't I want those same things I used to want?
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.759
That's confusing, isn't it?
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:09.439
Because from the time we were children, the world has been telling us what a successful life is supposed to look like.
00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:11.359
You know what I'm talking about.
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:26.879
A good education, find a good job, make plenty of money, buy a beautiful home, build a family, become successful, and if we accomplish all those things, we're supposed to be happy.
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:40.480
But what happens when we begin realizing that the life the world taught us to want isn't necessarily the life we were created to live.
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:59.040
What happens when we begin healing emotionally, growing spiritually, and discovering who we really are, only to realize that so much of what we've been pursuing may never have been what we truly wanted.
00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:04.000
And that's where I want to start today's episode.
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:07.120
I want to begin with that topic.
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:14.560
Because something extraordinary can happen when we begin discovering our authentic self.
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:28.879
The more we understand who we really are, the more we begin questioning why we've spent so much of our lives trying to become who the world wanted us to be?
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.439
Think about that for a moment.
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:39.360
How many of our decisions have been influenced by what the people around us expected from us?
00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:45.120
How many of our dreams were shaped by society's definition of success?
00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:54.000
How much of our happiness have we sacrificed trying to build a life that looks successful to everybody else?
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.800
I know I've spent a great deal of my life doing exactly that.
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:11.840
For years, I mean, literally years, I believed success was something I needed to achieve, something I needed to prove, something that would finally make me feel good enough.
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:24.159
But as I began healing my emotional wounds and developing a deeper relationship with my higher power, my understanding of success started changing.
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:30.319
The things I thought I wanted weren't always the things that brought me peace.
00:03:30.960 --> 00:03:37.360
The accomplishments I believed would make me happy didn't always bring me joy.
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:49.840
And the more I grew spiritually, the more I began realizing that perhaps I had spent much of my life pursuing someone else's definition of happiness.
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:55.840
And that realization, quite honestly, can be truly frightening.
00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:05.199
Because when we begin letting go of the life we thought we wanted, we don't always know what we're supposed to replace it with.
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.400
We can feel confused, we can certainly feel lost.
00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:15.520
We can even begin questioning whether we're making a terrible mistake.
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:19.839
But I've been wondering something lately.
00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:25.600
What if that confusion isn't a sign that something's wrong with our lives?
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:32.319
What if it's a sign that we're finally beginning to discover what really matters to us?
00:04:32.879 --> 00:04:38.240
Maybe our higher power isn't asking us to abandon everything we've created.
00:04:38.800 --> 00:04:45.199
Maybe we're simply being invited to examine why we created it in the first place.
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:47.839
Was it because we loved it?
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:52.560
Or because we believed it would make us worthy of love?
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:56.959
Was it because it gave our lives meaning?
00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:01.759
Or because we thought it would make other people admire us?
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:06.240
And perhaps that's the most important question of all.
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:38.160
Maybe that's how we begin changing not only our own lives, but the world we live in too.
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.680
And the world we share with everybody else.
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.040
Just maybe.
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:44.480
Just maybe.
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:52.639
That's how the world moves from living as a me and begins becoming a we.
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.040
My name is Joe Mittigan, and this is we.
00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.480
Welcome everybody to the We podcast.
00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:07.040
It's a great night here in Atlanta, Georgia, and I want to welcome everybody to the to this episode.
00:07:07.759 --> 00:07:16.160
You know, this these episodes, just so everybody knows, I predetermine about 20 titles well in advance.
00:07:16.480 --> 00:07:25.839
So when I come up with the titles, I work with AI, we create an environment where my titles kind of hook to each other.
00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:36.160
And, you know, I give ideas and then I use technology to create the titles to a framework, and then I put my feeling per title.
00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:42.720
Well, I have to tell you, when I saw this title today, Why Life Can Feel So Confusing, I almost fell over.
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:44.160
I don't really know the titles.
00:07:44.240 --> 00:07:49.680
You know, I don't look at the title for episode 65 before I've done 64.
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.160
So when I saw that, I said, wow, this is just the perfect title for tonight.
00:07:54.399 --> 00:08:03.519
Because this past 10 days or so, and especially a seven-day period in there, very confusing for me, really, really confusing.
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.759
And I'm gonna talk about that in in the later part when I share my experience.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:23.199
So I want to just kind of introduce the idea of where did the whole concept of us humans creating a world based on what everybody else thinks?
00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:24.639
Where did that come from?
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:26.160
And we're gonna talk about that.
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:30.160
Where are the emotional origins of that entire concept?
00:08:30.319 --> 00:08:32.399
You know, you can put great big titles on it.
00:08:32.480 --> 00:08:36.879
It's codependence and it's narcissistic and it's addictive and all of that.
00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:39.120
But like, where did it come from?
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:49.200
Like, truly, how did we develop into human beings, adults, whose perspective of success was based on what other people thought?
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:50.559
Where did it start?
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:52.639
We're gonna talk about that today.
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:57.279
And of course, we're gonna talk about the what do we do about it so we don't live there anymore.
00:08:57.519 --> 00:08:59.279
We're gonna talk about that also.
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:05.519
And it's just as this particular title came up today, Why Can Life Be So Confusing?
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:07.919
I had to I had to just grin.
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:10.080
Because I talk about it all the time.
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:16.240
This is not the man speaking here, this is my divinity speaking to all of you around the globe.
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:25.200
And the explosive growth of the Wii podcast has been something I've been following and something I've been celebrating.
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:41.360
And every time I think about another country, what it really brings my heart so much joy is that there it's continuing to bring factual, actual understanding that we as a humanity are waking up.
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.440
And I say it all the time, that's what's happening in humanity.
00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:51.679
We are moving from a male-dominated energy pattern to a female-dominated energy pattern.
00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.960
And in that female side, we're waking up to the feminine side of ourselves.
00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:02.799
And it doesn't matter where you live, it doesn't matter the color of your skin, it doesn't matter your nationality.
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:05.360
It certainly has nothing to do with religion.
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:14.639
Literally, spiritual growth really has nothing to do, they aren't, they can be completely separate.
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:20.559
Your religious beliefs and your spiritual growth, they're come, they can be completely separate.
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.720
I say that, and I'm gonna say it here.
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:53.039
I always say it that the Wii podcast is about teaching people to acknowledge, to embrace, and to follow a power greater than themselves in your today and your tomorrow, where most religions have more of a fashion of guidance so that the end result of you got being guided by the systems of different religions cause you an eternal life that you can look forward to.
00:10:53.200 --> 00:10:55.360
Well, I ain't talking about no eternal life, folks.
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:55.759
I'm not.
00:10:55.840 --> 00:10:57.440
Don't know a whole bunch about that.
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:05.519
And you know, someday when all of us see each other on the other side and we're close to the pearly gates, we'll kind of decide and discern the rights and the wrongs.
00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.279
And but there is no right and wrong.
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:08.720
We're all on a spiritual path.
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:12.639
And that's why every time I see a new country, it's just fascinating to me.
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:14.080
It's just fantastic.
00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:37.840
It validates deeply the whole idea of why the concept for Joe of the generation of change and technology is the top of it, because with a click of a button, I'm here in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, and people in France and people in China, people in Malaysia, people in Nigeria, let alone the United Kingdom and Australia and New Zealand.
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:38.879
I go on and on.
00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.519
Oman in the Middle East to the United Kingdom in Europe.
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:58.879
With a click of a button, the technology is already in place to where this message that's being divinely guided through me here is being heard by people around the globe that get it.
00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:06.720
You could not be on a podcast like mine for any length of time if you weren't on a spiritual path, if you weren't a true spiritual warrior.
00:12:06.879 --> 00:12:10.639
Most of you are probably even more practiced at it than myself.
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.000
I just picked up a microphone and here we are.
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:21.679
But that whole concept of generational change, and that's the foundation of what we do here at the We Podcast.
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:47.519
My ultimate goal, the intention of this experience, is to mirror back to a hundred million people around the globe that you are a spiritual being having a human experience, and the veil, the literal, your availability as a human being to commune with a power greater than yourself, that ability is becoming more.
00:12:47.840 --> 00:13:05.200
You have the capability and the capacities to identify it and be guided by it more and more every day, not only by your own personal self-discovery, but as humanity is shifting and growing and vibrationally, we as an essence are waking up.
00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:22.080
My message is to teach the how-to's guide and guide people into different day-to-day practice, day-to-day recognition, day-to-day acceptance that you are already an awakened being.
00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:24.320
You are already a spiritual being.
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:32.799
You are already living large portions of your life as oneness with your power, a power greater than yourself.
00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:44.799
And that's why I am somebody that will challenge human, the human conscious norm and the delusion of if I was one with God, then everything would be blissful.
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:46.159
Falsehood.
00:13:46.399 --> 00:14:00.320
And you know, quite honestly, a lot of that comes from this most people 50 years ago, really the only perspective they had of a God or power greater than themselves, they gained it in church.
00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:09.919
And the truth of the matter is, per large religion, each of them have an entity that was uniquely special, truly.
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:16.960
And I always say to the Christian religion, because that's the one I'm the most familiar with, was Jesus different than all of us?
00:14:17.360 --> 00:14:17.679
No.
00:14:19.279 --> 00:14:21.279
Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:25.519
And he was divinely guided.
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:30.320
The difference between Jesus and the rest of us was he, did he have his human flesh?
00:14:30.480 --> 00:14:30.879
Yes.
00:14:31.120 --> 00:14:32.159
Did he have an ego?
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:33.200
I believe no.
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:33.840
I don't.
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.360
That's where he was different.
00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:36.720
But what did he say?
00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:38.879
Ye shall do what I have done in grander things.
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:40.000
What did he mean?
00:14:40.320 --> 00:14:46.080
He means that the same consciousness that guided him is available in all of us.
00:14:46.320 --> 00:15:03.919
Well, now, here in 2026, October the 12th, 2026, our availability, the rest of us, our availability to be guided by that spirit that is called us, and to be guided by it, is more readily available.
00:15:04.080 --> 00:15:07.200
You are consciously able to do it more grandly.
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:08.720
And why is that important?
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:15.200
Because when you're guided by, and guided means how do you make your action steps?
00:15:15.360 --> 00:15:21.200
How do you make decisions on a Tuesday morning or a Sunday afternoon or a Friday night or a Wednesday at noon?
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:22.240
How do you do that?
00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:26.720
What part of you is helping you make those decisions?
00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:37.279
We grew up in a society, an unconscious society that says we make our decisions for our action steps to make sure everybody else is happy first.
00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:42.000
And then we wonder why we wake up later in life feeling empty, vacant, and not okay.
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:49.600
And I'm going to talk about here later in the episode the five different stages of consciousness.
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:58.399
And why that's important is because as we awaken, we are literally guided by a grander part of ourselves.
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:00.240
And why the heck do we want to do it?
00:16:00.399 --> 00:16:06.080
Because the truth of the matter is, when you are guided by a grander you, the end result is a grander life.
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:07.279
And what does that mean?
00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:19.519
A grander life is going to mean you're going to feel better, you're going to be have more peace, you're going to be more prosperous, you're going to just have a grander sense of okayness, is what I call it all the time.
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:21.600
Does it mean you're going to make more money?
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:23.679
Yes, if you're entrepreneurial.
00:16:24.159 --> 00:16:26.320
If you're not entrepreneurial, maybe not.
00:16:26.399 --> 00:16:26.879
Probably not.
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:28.799
Does it mean you're never going to challenge with money?
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:29.519
No, heck no.
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:30.960
It's what the heck?
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:32.639
You've been at the grocery store lately?
00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.799
It cost a bunch of money just to live, let alone gas, and blah, blah, blah.
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:42.399
But the truth of the matter is, here in Georgia, when gas was four bucks a gallon, now it's$320.
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:53.600
But when it was four bucks a gallon, when you're pumping a gas at the quick trip for four bucks a gallon and you feel a oneness of a god of your understanding, you're still paying four bucks a gallon.
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:56.559
But there's a sense of okayness, anyways.
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:02.159
There's zero difference of okayness in Joe if the gallon is four dollars or three dollars.
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.120
It's the same.
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:03.759
Why?
00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:05.920
Because I'm pretty practiced at all this.
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.359
And that's the why you want to do it.
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:11.039
The question is the how.
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.759
And that's what we're going to talk about here, of course, the how to.
00:17:14.240 --> 00:17:32.880
And for me, what I'm really starting to understand is that I literally forever thought that living as a higher purpose meant a particular group of action steps that I would take on a particular given day.
00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:36.720
And as I'm taking those action steps, I'm living as my higher purpose.
00:17:36.799 --> 00:17:46.720
I'm pursuing a higher purpose, i.e., like I'm doing here with the Wii podcast and the intention of helping awaken 100 million people.
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:49.440
And of course, that is part of the higher purpose.
00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.799
But that's the smallest part of it, quite honestly.
00:17:52.880 --> 00:18:07.359
What I'm becoming aware of is every time we are living from a grander us, we're already living as the purpose you were born.
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:26.960
And the true purpose in which you were born is to go from some level of humanity in the extreme for most, and start adjusting the extreme consciousness of human only into the awakened position of more and more divinity guided.
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:34.640
Now, again, I will go back to Jesus and the Christianity, the entire philosophy of Christianity, which I believe in 100%.
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:46.079
Jesus, in my opinion, was born purely with a pure divine, divinely guided only perspective.
00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:49.279
He didn't have the rest of the nonsense the rest of us have.
00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:51.680
And I could go on and on for the wise.
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:55.440
First off, we're still talking about the human 2,000 years later.
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.640
If nothing else, that should say it was pretty special.
00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:09.119
The walk on water, the miracles, the poofo, the breath, you know, all of the things the man did who he showed it into the world, I believe divine.
00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:12.240
No unconsciousness anywhere.
00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.559
Now, come to the rest of us, right?
00:19:14.799 --> 00:19:32.319
With the rest of us, we start in a place of unconscious, and then we start waking up to the minuscule positions of conscious awakening, which allows us to be consciously living from a place of divine.
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:42.160
And what for myself, what I'm starting to realize more and more, my definition of living as a higher purpose has changed.
00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:43.279
It just has.
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:07.119
This is my early 20s.
00:21:07.200 --> 00:21:08.400
I will never forget.
00:21:08.960 --> 00:21:15.119
We had a business together and she'd come in, whoever, she probably heard about Wayne Dyer four or five years before me.
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:23.200
I'll never forget yelling at her, say, you take your psycho babble be blank and get the heck out of my office.
00:21:23.359 --> 00:21:28.480
Now, of course, when I was doing it, because I'm not cussing here on this podcast, there's about 37 cuss words.
00:21:28.640 --> 00:21:30.720
Your psycho babble, blah, blah, blah.
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:32.000
What was she trying to do?
00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:35.920
She was basically trying to tell me that, hey, you know, Joe, you can hear your own thoughts.
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:44.400
Well, she's in town, and we have a great relationship, and she's been on a conscious path four or five years longer than me.
00:21:44.559 --> 00:21:58.400
So when we talk, it's about conscious talk, critical thinking, talk beyond the obvious, pursue depth of conversation, pursue the whys and any of the ifs and the it's out there.
00:21:58.640 --> 00:22:01.200
And it's just it's Fun, it really is.
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:09.920
So, and when we're talking, I notice for myself just kind of the style in which I live.
00:22:10.319 --> 00:22:40.079
And today I can say, regardless of what somebody says, regardless of somebody's emotion, regardless of the unconsciousness of the comment, I have so much more availability to take the information in, not filter it and then immediately judge, which is tolerance, not filter it and immediately make it wrong, which is acceptance, and then discern whether I'm going to say anything back or not.
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:44.720
And I was just having that awareness this past literally 24, 48 hours.
00:22:44.960 --> 00:22:50.640
And I've known about my ability to do it for a while, but it's just becoming clearer.
00:22:50.799 --> 00:22:52.559
So, what does Joe call that?
00:22:52.960 --> 00:23:05.599
My ability in any random conversation to have more tolerance, to have more acceptance, and then to discern if I'm going to engage or not, I call that all part of living as a higher Joe.
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:14.319
And as we live as a higher Joe, our life purpose is being lived every time you do that.
00:23:14.559 --> 00:23:21.200
I say the simplest thing when you're walking into a grocery store, hold the door for somebody else, be kind to somebody else.
00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:28.160
Every time we're kind to somebody else, we're putting somebody else's, we're putting a smile on somebody else's face.
00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:34.799
We're literally, as we're doing that, living as a higher us, as a grander us.
00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:36.880
And what's the opposite?
00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:43.359
The opposite is the us who thinks of self first, the me, the ego, the arrogance.
00:23:43.519 --> 00:23:49.359
And if you're a me-based human, you get to that door, you're thinking about getting through the door first.
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.680
That's a me perspective.
00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:56.480
Satiate me and mine first, and for a lot of people only.
00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:08.640
Well, as you transcend out of that and you transcend beyond that, every time you hold the door for somebody is an example of living a higher purpose, living a higher you.
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.960
And that's why we're here is to learn how to live as a higher us.
00:24:13.039 --> 00:24:15.200
And why do I bring that to our awareness?
00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:27.839
Because if you think about, I want people to personally grow and their esteem to raise and their self-worth to multiply.
00:24:28.079 --> 00:24:36.000
Because if you really start perceiving yourself, describing yourself, this is sacred conversations, folks.
00:24:36.079 --> 00:24:37.680
This isn't, hey, look at me.
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:39.759
I'm so spiritually awoken.
00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:41.279
No, that's a no.
00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:45.599
This is you and you with your brush when your teeth when you're brushing your teeth.
00:24:45.839 --> 00:25:15.680
If you look at every action step you do on a daily basis, where you're giving to somebody else, and you start describing those action steps as you living as a higher you, as part of your life purpose to live as a higher you, you'll start describing yourself to self as more of a godly person, as more of a higher vibrational us, as more of a higher power us, as more of a communion with a higher power.
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:18.799
Now, does that mean you hold the door when you go?
00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.519
And then when you're there, you start complaining to the waitress?
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:22.960
Yeah, sometimes, of course.
00:25:23.119 --> 00:25:24.000
We're still human.
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:25.519
There's still plenty of human.
00:25:25.839 --> 00:25:28.160
There's still plenty of stuff we do we wish we wouldn't.
00:25:28.319 --> 00:25:34.640
There's still plenty of stuff that our ego and our arrogance and our wound is going to project it onto people around.
00:25:34.799 --> 00:25:35.279
Yeah, why?
00:25:35.440 --> 00:25:36.559
Because we're human.
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:48.480
I'm not saying that stuff isn't there, but I want you to start becoming aware of how frequently you already are living from a higher you.
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:59.599
And every time you give back, any way, shape, or form, that's you living a grander reason you were born, the purpose you were born, which is to live from that higher place.
00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:02.559
Ultimately, what are we all pursuing?
00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.920
Living that 100%.
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:05.359
Will we?
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:06.720
Don't have any idea.
00:26:06.799 --> 00:26:07.680
Yeah, I really don't.
00:26:07.839 --> 00:26:08.640
Did Jesus?
00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:09.039
Yes.
00:26:09.200 --> 00:26:09.920
Did others?
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:10.640
Yes.
00:26:10.880 --> 00:26:12.079
Will will I?
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:13.039
Probably not.
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:13.599
Maybe.
00:26:13.759 --> 00:26:14.240
I don't know.
00:26:14.400 --> 00:26:14.880
I don't know.
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:16.319
Not going to say that anymore.
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:17.599
Do I live it now?
00:26:17.680 --> 00:26:17.920
No.
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:18.480
100%?
00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:19.039
No.
00:26:19.119 --> 00:26:19.440
I don't.
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:20.640
Do I live it a lot?
00:26:20.880 --> 00:26:22.240
I do, I have to tell you.
00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:26.559
But from that perspective, what's the goal here at The We Podcast?
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:29.039
Help 100 million people understand.
00:26:29.279 --> 00:26:33.440
You're already, you make it through a podcast like this, you're a spiritual being.
00:26:33.599 --> 00:26:37.680
You're already living portions of your life as a spiritual being.
00:26:37.839 --> 00:26:39.440
And there isn't a right and wrong.
00:26:39.599 --> 00:26:41.519
There's not a quantity associated.
00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:44.720
There's not a, oh, I live this much and then I am.
00:26:44.960 --> 00:26:45.279
No.
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:50.799
When you just start becoming aware, then you are literally on a spiritual path.
00:26:50.880 --> 00:27:05.039
And when you are consciously awakened, when you consciously become aware that you're on a spiritual path and you live that awakening by the giving back, that helps build your self-description of you.
00:27:05.119 --> 00:27:16.880
And I'm going to talk about the different developments of consciousness, the different connections to how we become more consciously aware of the grander us.
00:27:17.759 --> 00:27:31.359
On the personal side, I have just been an absolute glory this past week because my book, Filling the Void, and Joe Mittiga.com, Joe Mitiga.com is my website where you can download my book for free.
00:27:31.519 --> 00:27:33.839
And please do, please tell everybody.
00:27:34.000 --> 00:27:36.400
Put it out on social media for me, please.
00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:43.279
My domain name, Joe Midtiga, you know, Joe J-O-E-Midiga, M-I-T-T-I-G-A.com.
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:44.640
Put it out there for me.
00:27:44.880 --> 00:27:46.319
I want people to have it.
00:27:46.480 --> 00:27:51.839
It was channeled through me by a power much greater than me 30 plus years ago.
00:27:52.000 --> 00:28:06.559
This has been a this has been an adventure, 30 years in the making, and literally last week, last Wednesday, seven days, you know, so five, six days ago, it's actually working how I wanted it to work.
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:09.680
So it can be downloaded now effortlessly.
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:17.359
So please do, joemitica.com and tell people about it, put it out on social media for me.
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:19.519
And what's the reward for Joe?
00:28:19.759 --> 00:28:21.039
It just feels good.
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:28.960
It feels good that something that was given to me, that's why God can only do for us what God can do through us.
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:33.279
And when comes to a book, God can only God can't pick up the pencil.
00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.920
Joe had to do all that part, and God can't get it edited, and God can't find blah blah blah.
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:39.359
You know, I've done my part.
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:44.319
But the content of the information is not Joe's, it's Joe's story.
00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.799
But you'll see when you read it that, and that whole thing was written 30 years ago.
00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:55.599
I literally, there's parts of that book that describe my life today, as if I was living it 30 years ago.
00:28:55.759 --> 00:29:01.039
Now, when I'm writing this book, I'm two years into my seven years of darkness, literally.
00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:03.680
22 of those months I'm writing this book.
00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.200
This is probably about year, probably three years in.
00:29:11.200 --> 00:29:15.200
And so I'm living on$250 a month while I'm writing that book.
00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:20.400
And all I'm doing is listening, and I'm writing as fast as I could hear it.
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:31.359
Pencil, legal size paper, 275 pages, page one to page 275, 106,800, some odd words, channeled through.
00:29:31.680 --> 00:29:34.079
And why is it exciting for me to get it out?
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:47.680
Because I made a commitment 30 years ago that when the time is right, God, Father, I call, you know, when I'm talking personally to God, I call my higher power, I call God Father sometimes.
00:29:47.839 --> 00:29:49.680
And I say, Father, I will get it out there.
00:29:49.759 --> 00:29:50.880
I will do my part.
00:29:51.039 --> 00:29:52.480
Well, that was accomplished.
00:29:52.640 --> 00:29:55.279
And I want all of you to benefit.
00:29:55.440 --> 00:29:56.559
And how are you going to benefit?
00:29:56.640 --> 00:29:56.960
I don't know.
00:29:57.039 --> 00:29:58.319
What part of you gonna benefit?
00:29:58.400 --> 00:29:58.799
I don't know.
00:29:58.880 --> 00:29:59.839
I have no idea.
00:30:00.160 --> 00:30:02.079
It's 275 pages.
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:06.319
There might just be one paragraph in there somewhere where you go, oh my God.
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:07.920
I don't know.
00:30:08.079 --> 00:30:10.400
I just know there's something much grander than me.
00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:18.160
And if you're on this podcast and you can make it 30 minutes into my podcast, let alone all my other podcasts, that you're a warrior.
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:23.039
And the things that I teach there were taught to me.
00:30:23.359 --> 00:30:25.519
Very little of it is quote unquote original.
00:30:25.680 --> 00:30:27.119
None of it's original idea.
00:30:27.279 --> 00:30:27.759
None of it.
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:29.759
It was taught to me by people.
00:30:29.920 --> 00:30:37.359
It's my story, but I don't take claim to the inner child work and the dual-hand journaling and the writing of the first step.
00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:40.640
The writing of the first step is AA stuff, first step.
00:30:40.799 --> 00:30:45.759
The inner child stuff was all learned by a man named John Bradshaw years ago.
00:30:46.000 --> 00:30:48.240
So I don't, none of it is mine.
00:30:48.480 --> 00:30:52.720
I'm passing it on freely, and that's why I'm super excited.
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:59.680
I hope everybody on this podcast will take the time to download the book because it's just it's something that's really important.
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:01.119
And you're gonna benefit.
00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:03.440
I can promise you you will benefit.
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:04.319
Do I know how?
00:31:04.559 --> 00:31:06.319
No, I just know you will.
00:31:06.559 --> 00:31:08.720
And I go back to the whole thing.
00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:10.559
If I can, you can.
00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:13.359
And you know, if you got a book in you, it's time.
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:14.160
Write it.
00:31:14.319 --> 00:31:18.559
If you got a book that's out there in the world, keep talking about it.
00:31:18.720 --> 00:31:26.160
And you'll know that it's supposed to be out there because your heart will always be thinking about it.
00:31:26.319 --> 00:31:30.000
You know, your gut will always be guiding you to tell talk about it.
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.880
Your inspiration is not of you.
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:39.519
Imagination's of you, but the next phase of creation is not imagination and inspiration.
00:31:39.680 --> 00:31:44.480
Your inspirations are sourced from a power greater than you.
00:31:44.640 --> 00:31:58.559
And it's in the creation phase where humanity and divinity come together because divinity gave me the idea, divinity gave me the content, divinity gave me the context of the manuscript.
00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:01.200
But me as the man had to write it.
00:32:01.359 --> 00:32:07.759
And that's where in the creation phase, divinity and humanity come together, right there.
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:09.440
We're living in unison.
00:32:09.839 --> 00:32:14.799
And once it reaches the place where it goes out into the world, that's the manifestation stage.
00:32:15.039 --> 00:32:21.279
And what is the foundational spiritual experience of the manifestation stage?
00:32:21.519 --> 00:32:27.680
It's not NOT, a monetary reward for the writer.
00:32:28.000 --> 00:32:36.079
Manifestation stage is the reward, the people that are reading the book, they feel the reward in their belly.
00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:40.079
Whatever you get out of reading the book, that reward.
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:49.200
And every time somebody feels better, becomes more aware, has a conscious awakening, has an aha, gets supported with new emotional growth.
00:32:49.359 --> 00:32:53.519
Whatever the it is in your world, I feel fantastic.
00:32:53.680 --> 00:33:00.559
And I want 100 million people to get that reward because I want to feel fantastic a hundred million times.
00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:02.640
And that's where the manifestation stays.
00:33:02.720 --> 00:33:04.000
That's where so many people get lost.
00:33:04.160 --> 00:33:08.960
I got my hot power, and I'm gonna write a book and I'm gonna put it out there and I'm gonna make a million bucks.
00:33:09.279 --> 00:33:13.839
Now you might make a million bucks, but if you're doing it for the million bucks, that's not your higher power.
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:14.720
Period.
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:15.200
Why?
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:17.440
Because your higher power didn't even know money exists.
00:33:17.759 --> 00:33:23.200
Your higher power is about putting things out so the value is in the recipient.
00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:30.960
What you gain back might be monetary, but the majority of the gain back is being given while you're giving.
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:34.799
I feel great that it now is being given.
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:43.279
I'm already in the reward, a 30-year process in the reward now, because it's going out there.
00:33:43.519 --> 00:33:46.960
And for new people here, welcome everybody.
00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.759
The podcast is literally exploding.
00:33:49.839 --> 00:33:58.960
And I'm gonna talk about that here later because I had some amazing confusion, personal, spiritual, and to welcome everybody.
00:33:59.200 --> 00:34:05.839
But I had an experience where a couple weeks ago it could work, but you had to do about 40 different action steps.
00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:13.039
Well, gentlemen out of Nigeria downloaded my book, and out of nowhere, I see on his LinkedIn page my book.
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.000
And I'm like, that is absolutely unbelievable.
00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:23.199
I I kept looking, I was just enamored that, and this man, I I can't pronounce his name.
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:25.599
He's got one of these beautiful African names.
00:34:25.840 --> 00:34:27.599
It's just fantastic, truly.
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:36.800
The feeling of grace, the feeling of fullness, the feeling of wow is all I could say, was fantastic.
00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:38.719
Was it monetary based?
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:42.079
No, that's part of the human delusion.
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:44.719
Make enough money, you'll feel fantastic.
00:34:44.880 --> 00:34:46.079
That's a load of crap.
00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:47.599
I'm all about making money.
00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:50.079
I am entrepreneurial as I can be.
00:34:50.320 --> 00:34:53.599
But the delusion that money fills your belly is just a falsehood.
00:34:53.760 --> 00:34:55.039
It just isn't true.
00:34:55.280 --> 00:34:56.400
It's just not.
00:34:56.639 --> 00:35:05.440
And with all that being said, it's time for a lot of you to keep doing it and then putting it out there, whatever your it is.
00:35:05.599 --> 00:35:10.400
And that's the more you do it, the fuller you're gonna feel in your belly.
00:35:10.559 --> 00:35:13.119
And the fuller you fill in your belly, the more you're gonna do it.
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:16.559
And quite honestly, I've got two more books already written.
00:35:16.719 --> 00:35:23.199
So Filling the Void is the first book, Why We Feel Alone is the second book, and the third book, which is already written.
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:25.519
We don't have a title yet, but we're gonna get there.
00:35:25.679 --> 00:35:27.920
So over this next year, there'll be two more.
00:35:28.079 --> 00:35:30.559
So in a very short period of time, I'll have two books out.
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:36.159
I've got six books to write right now, and I'm just creating the audience to get it out there.
00:35:36.320 --> 00:35:39.519
And I say, Me, I'm the facilitator.
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:46.239
God is the source, I'm the one that writes, my divinity is the one that that that dictates.
00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:49.760
And working together, that's the oneness.
00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:56.400
God can only do for us what God can do through us, and living from that position feels really, really good.
00:35:56.559 --> 00:36:06.159
There's a sense of abundance, a sense of fullness, a sense of glory that can only be described as amazing, truly.
00:36:06.480 --> 00:36:22.559
So the whole concept of the world being our guidance system, life can feel so confusing when our life changes because it doesn't, we no longer want to create our life based on what the world tells us it should be.
00:36:22.960 --> 00:36:24.559
What does that mean?
00:36:24.960 --> 00:36:33.199
And the unconscious world lives from a perspective of the outside in.
00:36:57.039 --> 00:37:02.559
Powerful meaning it feels really good, and you're guided by you in you.
00:37:02.960 --> 00:37:06.639
That still means there's 99% of the world that is clueless.
00:37:06.719 --> 00:37:07.599
They just don't know.
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:08.639
And that's okay.
00:37:08.800 --> 00:37:09.679
It really is.
00:37:10.320 --> 00:37:19.440
So the unconscious world, and most of us lived from that position of get enough money in the bank, we'll be okay.
00:37:19.679 --> 00:37:22.239
Marry the right person, we'll be okay.
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:24.400
Have the right job, we'll be okay.
00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:26.719
Build the right family, we'll be okay.
00:37:26.960 --> 00:37:36.800
Have the right career, have the right location, go to church and whatever the action steps of the it are, do enough of it, then we'll be okay.
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:42.400
And I can tell you, for most of you, a lot of you, the okayness wasn't in the action.
00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:47.840
The okayness was in the gratitude you acquired by taking the action.
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:49.599
Hear what I just said.
00:37:50.079 --> 00:37:58.320
The okayness wasn't in the action step itself, it was in the gratitude you felt by taking the action step.
00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:04.000
You're doing a job, you're working hard, you spend a bunch of hours, you feel good, you make a bunch of money.
00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:08.000
And as you make the money and you receive the money, it's gratitude.
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:09.280
Fabulous.
00:38:09.679 --> 00:38:12.159
But gratitude's an ever-chasing event.
00:38:12.400 --> 00:38:14.400
Gratitude fills nothing.
00:38:14.639 --> 00:38:15.360
Literally.
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:18.159
Gratitude is an ever-chasing event.
00:38:18.320 --> 00:38:19.280
Does that make it a bad thing?
00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:21.119
No, it makes it a human thing.
00:38:21.360 --> 00:38:26.239
Gratitude, the pursuit of gratitude, is your humanity living.
00:38:26.480 --> 00:38:27.760
Is that a bad thing?
00:38:27.920 --> 00:38:29.679
No, of course, not a bad thing.
00:38:29.920 --> 00:38:31.440
But it's not your divinity.
00:38:31.679 --> 00:38:32.400
It's not.
00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:33.679
It's truly not.
00:38:33.920 --> 00:38:35.039
And I'll never forget.
00:38:35.119 --> 00:38:40.480
I really thought heal my wound and live in gratitude, because prior to living in gratitude, what is there?
00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:42.639
Is living in something other than gratitude.
00:38:42.800 --> 00:38:48.719
So my whole perspective was let's just heal enough so I don't hurt all the time and just get to gratitude.
00:38:48.800 --> 00:38:51.360
Because if I'm in gratitude, then everything's going to be great.
00:38:51.679 --> 00:38:53.920
No, I thought that was the end point.
00:38:54.079 --> 00:38:54.559
It's not.
00:38:54.639 --> 00:38:55.920
That's the launch point.
00:38:56.159 --> 00:38:57.440
That's the launching board.
00:38:57.519 --> 00:39:01.280
That's the diving board to jump you into the ocean of grace.
00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:19.679
And so the world, the consciousness of the world, will teach us to do the outside world in such a way that creates a bunch of abundance and gratitude.
00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:25.840
And if you've got a bunch of abundance and gratitude in your external world, then your internal world's going to be okay.
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:27.760
Falsehood.
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:29.119
Doesn't.
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.320
Now I'll tell you, you have more money than month?
00:39:32.480 --> 00:39:33.440
Does it feel better?
00:39:33.599 --> 00:39:33.840
Yes.
00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:34.719
Is it safer?
00:39:34.880 --> 00:39:35.119
Yes.
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:38.000
Is it more comfortable not having to worry about your bills?
00:39:38.079 --> 00:39:38.480
Of course.
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:40.079
It's yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:41.840
But does it heal anything?
00:39:42.000 --> 00:39:43.199
No, it doesn't.
00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:52.639
In fact, in my opinion, at least when I was sitting there broke with nothing, a car that didn't work, no money in Hungary, I could at least blame.
00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:56.079
I feel like crap because my external world is horrible.
00:39:56.400 --> 00:40:08.880
I have deep empathy for the human being that wakes up at 56 years old, kids launched, business sold, husband and wife still together, living in their$2 million house with$10 million in the bank and feeling empty.
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:22.960
I have deep empathy for that person because they lived a life their entire life believing that fix the outside world and then grow it and then make your outside world grand, then I'll feel better inside.
00:40:23.119 --> 00:40:24.239
And you just don't.
00:40:24.400 --> 00:40:26.880
You don't, because that's not how it works.
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:44.559
And quite honestly, the pursuit of being guided by the outside world first, which means your internal world second, every time you take that action, you're actually adding to the vacancy in your belly.
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:46.559
Let me say that again.
00:40:47.199 --> 00:41:21.840
100% of the time, when you take an action step, regardless of the result, that is being guided because of an external stimulus versus an internal guidance, every time you take that action, you are abandoning, neglecting, and quite honestly, abusing yourself emotionally, spiritually, mentally, even though the physical reward might be making money, even though the physical reward might be living in a beautiful house and having a great family.
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:24.400
Am I saying any of that is wrong?
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:25.920
No, I'm not.
00:41:27.440 --> 00:41:38.480
I'm saying it's time now that we shift into how we are guided to make our external decisions.
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:42.159
And that's where we have to go to the root.
00:41:42.400 --> 00:41:51.599
How did we get to that place where we say, do what the external world says first, and then everything will be okay.
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:53.119
And that starts as a kid.
00:41:53.360 --> 00:42:04.480
The emotional side, when we are children, we are in constant need as a child, a baby, a six-year-old, an eight-year-old, a 10-year-old, 12-year-old, 20 year old, whatever.
00:42:04.639 --> 00:42:17.280
You're in constant need initially of external support, love, praise, acknowledgement, and pride, being proud of, because emotionally you're not developed yet.
00:42:17.440 --> 00:42:17.920
You're not.
00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:18.960
You're a kid.
00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.719
Kids aren't emotionally, they're not their own resource yet.
00:42:22.800 --> 00:42:23.519
They're not.
00:42:23.760 --> 00:42:33.039
So kids to emotionally grow are 100% dependent on their parents for emotional support.
00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:34.960
Sounds fantastic.
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:52.480
The problem is, for most of us, when we were parents, and we were parented by unconscious people, so we then parent our kids unconsciously, then we're just passing on the same wound generation after generation after generation.
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:54.800
And what is the wound?
00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:56.719
Is it, are we doing it on purpose?
00:42:56.960 --> 00:42:57.280
No.
00:42:57.599 --> 00:43:12.400
But if you're not consciously aware of how to embrace and empower your offspring, your kids, your family, the community around you, how to empower and embrace their emotional sense of self.
00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:20.559
Then when they grow up, they've got the vacancy in their heart, and the society says, go get a job, go get a house, go get a career, go get a wife, and you'll be fine.
00:43:20.800 --> 00:43:26.719
No, you can have a job, a career, a house, and a wife, and still be vacant inside.
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:33.360
Well, that whole vacancy is because we were not emotionally nurtured.
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:36.719
We weren't, we never learned how to emotionally grow.
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:39.920
And that's where the inner child work comes in today.
00:43:40.239 --> 00:43:49.199
And that whole concept, some of the beliefs, the social beliefs, and I challenge social beliefs all the time.
00:43:49.679 --> 00:43:50.159
I do.
00:43:50.320 --> 00:43:50.639
Why?
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:56.159
Because the social beliefs of our yesterday don't work anymore in our today's and tomorrow.
00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:56.960
It doesn't.
00:43:57.199 --> 00:43:58.000
It just doesn't.
00:43:58.159 --> 00:43:59.599
It worked in the past, it doesn't work in.
00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:00.639
The future.
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:01.599
Think about it.
00:44:01.760 --> 00:44:05.920
200 years ago, social belief was owning a human perfectly fine.
00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:07.199
Doesn't work.
00:44:07.519 --> 00:44:10.079
Didn't work then, atrocity now.
00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:13.599
Well, the same idea happens just in different ways.
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:20.639
Years ago, I grew up in a family, literally, big boys do not cry.
00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:22.800
Period.
00:44:23.599 --> 00:44:26.000
So every time you said, now what do you do?
00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:26.880
Nothing.
00:44:27.039 --> 00:44:29.920
You deny it, you push it down, you stuff it.
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:30.800
Why?
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:34.880
Because who gave me that belief in this particular example is my dad.
00:44:35.039 --> 00:44:36.639
What am I trying to do as a kid?
00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:38.079
I'm trying to please my father.
00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:39.679
How would I please my father?
00:44:39.840 --> 00:44:42.559
He says, don't cry, don't cry, pleases him.
00:44:42.800 --> 00:44:44.159
So think about that.
00:44:45.519 --> 00:44:46.719
Was he right?
00:44:47.039 --> 00:44:47.360
No.
00:44:47.599 --> 00:44:48.559
Was he trying to hurt me?
00:44:48.639 --> 00:44:50.320
No, he's just unconscious.
00:44:50.639 --> 00:44:56.239
But his literal social belief was big boys don't cry.
00:44:56.400 --> 00:44:57.360
What was he trying to do?
00:44:57.440 --> 00:44:58.400
He's trying to make me tough.
00:44:58.559 --> 00:45:01.199
He's trying to make me strong, face the world, be fierce.
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:02.320
I get it.
00:45:02.639 --> 00:45:03.519
Did it work?
00:45:03.679 --> 00:45:07.280
No, it turned me into a rageholic alcoholic, literally.
00:45:07.440 --> 00:45:08.719
But was that his fault?
00:45:08.880 --> 00:45:10.400
No, it wasn't.
00:45:10.719 --> 00:45:12.559
And how do we change it?
00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:14.480
We're the generation of change.
00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:15.199
How do I change it?
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:16.559
How do I know so much different?
00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:22.320
Well, I've been in therapy for, I was in therapy for 40, 30 years, literally, healing all of that stuff.
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:30.800
So the belief systems, the social belief systems in from the emotional perspective, was never honored.
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:32.000
It just wasn't.
00:45:33.440 --> 00:45:37.119
The whole the belief of little girls are to be seen, not heard.
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:39.760
You know, little girls don't get mad.
00:45:39.840 --> 00:45:41.440
Oh, you're a bad little girl.
00:45:41.599 --> 00:45:45.119
If you get angry, don't you dare talk back to me.
00:45:45.280 --> 00:45:49.199
Like, how do you, how dare you have an opinion that's not mine?
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:52.079
All those types of beliefs.
00:45:52.239 --> 00:45:56.800
They were social belief systems that we grew up in as kids.
00:45:56.960 --> 00:46:01.519
And if you haven't grown beyond it, you're teaching your kids the same thing now.
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:09.920
Now, am I suggesting that you allow your kids to take their emotion out any way they want?
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:12.000
No, that's not healthy.
00:46:12.159 --> 00:46:16.800
I'm suggesting that you teach them that emotions are okay from now.
00:46:17.360 --> 00:46:17.920
Why?
00:46:18.159 --> 00:46:21.679
Because we want our kids to be different than we were.
00:46:21.920 --> 00:46:25.760
And then how do we heal the void in us?
00:46:25.920 --> 00:46:28.559
That's where the dual-hand journaling comes into play.
00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:29.360
It is.
00:46:29.920 --> 00:46:48.239
Because so very often, what happens is one of the ways that the external world guides us, and one of the ways that we live and make decisions is that we're still acting out, trying to get approval from our father with the big boys don't cry.
00:46:48.400 --> 00:47:00.559
The difference is the approval, you're trying to still get an approval from a boss or a partner or somebody at church or somebody that you work with or a buddy that you drink with, or whatever.
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:11.199
So you're literally still living today the wounded belief system you were persecuted with as a child.
00:47:11.360 --> 00:47:14.079
Now, do we think about it being persecuted?
00:47:14.239 --> 00:47:16.320
No, we didn't even know any different.
00:47:16.639 --> 00:47:18.400
Most people don't even know.
00:47:18.719 --> 00:47:21.039
And so, how do what do we do about it?
00:47:21.280 --> 00:47:38.320
We want to start thinking about and writing down all of the limiting belief systems that your family unit was created around 50 years ago that caused a sense of okayness 50 years ago.
00:47:38.639 --> 00:47:40.239
Somebody get mad in my house.
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:41.920
I don't know what my dad would have done.
00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:44.480
He wouldn't have tolerated it, that's for sure.
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:50.079
And I've said in my book, I literally felt like I took, no, I take my life in my own hands.
00:47:50.239 --> 00:47:54.320
Again, get my book, filling the void, joemitica.com, please download it.
00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:55.199
It's for free.
00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:56.800
And because it'll help you.
00:47:57.119 --> 00:47:59.760
You literally read it, you read all my stuff.
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:15.360
So where you start is you think back on all of the different belief systems that you were taught to, which the ones that are unhealthy are the ones that would deny you.
00:48:15.840 --> 00:48:19.840
And 95% of them was denying an emotional you.
00:48:20.320 --> 00:48:31.280
Now, there are a lot of people, most, that if a kid talks back to their parent, in other words, a kid has a belief system different than their parent, they'll get scolded.
00:48:31.440 --> 00:48:33.039
They might even get spanked.
00:48:33.199 --> 00:48:35.920
How dare you talk back to me?
00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:41.440
That there's a fine line there, folks, and you gotta find it.
00:48:41.679 --> 00:49:00.320
You have to find it because there is a if we do not allow our kids to have belief systems different than ours, then we're creating the same robot that we went to therapist for 20 years to heal.
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:03.360
Am I saying let your kid be disrespectful?
00:49:03.599 --> 00:49:03.920
No.
00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:11.199
But I am saying it is okay for your kids and people around you to have a different belief than yours.
00:49:11.360 --> 00:49:16.000
And you do not want to make them wrong because they have a different belief.
00:49:16.239 --> 00:49:20.400
Now, just because they have a different belief doesn't mean they get their way.
00:49:20.559 --> 00:49:20.880
Why?
00:49:21.039 --> 00:49:31.119
Because you're the parent, and you make the decision of what you believe is the most safe and productive thing for the child.
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:37.599
And just because they don't get their way doesn't mean that their belief has to be squashed.
00:49:37.840 --> 00:49:39.760
And I'll give you a perfect example.
00:49:40.000 --> 00:49:53.280
We've got neighbors around, and there's a neighbor girl who now is grown out, but when she was little, if she talked back, like say no to her parents, she get grounded for a week.
00:49:53.440 --> 00:50:18.639
And I'm thinking to myself, if they don't let her say no at 6, 7, 9, 12, 14, then what happens when she's in the car with a freshman football player who's got all the hormones raging and wants something other than her conversation, if she doesn't know how to say no, now what happens?
00:50:19.519 --> 00:50:25.599
She ends up getting herself in a physical situation because is it right or wrong?
00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:26.239
No.
00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:28.559
Should the boy be able to be in control?
00:50:28.800 --> 00:50:29.440
Yes.
00:50:29.840 --> 00:50:38.800
And if a young girl isn't taught how to say no, isn't validated how to say no, isn't supported 100% to say no.
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:46.400
A lot of times young girls get themselves in positions where the end result is not what they want.
00:50:46.559 --> 00:50:53.360
And in this particular, in that particular type of example, that didn't happen to our neighbor friend, but it sure could have.
00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:58.320
Could you want your kids to have the ability to say no?
00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:04.000
That does not mean they're going to have the ability to do what they want, but they can say no.
00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:04.559
Why?
00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:10.000
Because that's them creating their own sense of autonomy, their own sense of space.
00:51:10.159 --> 00:51:14.320
They're identifying themselves different than you.
00:51:14.559 --> 00:51:16.639
And for a lot of you, that's going to be a stretch.
00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:18.639
It's going to be an absolute stretch.
00:51:18.880 --> 00:51:23.599
A lot of marriages will agree to disagree, which I love the concept.
00:51:23.840 --> 00:51:24.480
Why?
00:51:24.800 --> 00:51:26.559
Because there's two of you.
00:51:26.960 --> 00:51:37.519
And Johnny might like it hot, and Susie might like it cold, and Freddie might like yellow, and Susie might like orange, and somebody might be whatever, you know?
00:51:38.079 --> 00:51:38.880
And that's okay.
00:51:39.039 --> 00:51:41.440
You can love each other, anyways, and disagree.
00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:50.320
And where arguments come in is not I like red, you like blue, we disagree, let's move on.
00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:56.480
Where arguments come in is I like red, you like blue, you're wrong for liking blue, you need to like red.
00:51:56.639 --> 00:52:00.480
I'm not wrong for liking blue is better, you're wrong for liking red, blue, whatever.
00:52:00.719 --> 00:52:01.920
You know what I'm talking about.
00:52:02.079 --> 00:52:08.079
And it's in the need to control and change somebody else's mind, is where arguments come into play.
00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:09.199
And why do we do that?
00:52:09.360 --> 00:52:10.400
Because we're trying to get approval.
00:52:10.559 --> 00:52:11.679
Why are we trying to do that?
00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:17.360
Because as a kid, the only way we get approval from our parents is to do what the heck our parents say.
00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:20.960
And that's why we grow up vacant inside.
00:52:21.599 --> 00:52:31.440
Every time 50 years ago, you were not able to express mad, glad, sad, or scared, and that got suppressed inside of you, there's a hurt and there's a wound inside of you.
00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:33.760
Does that mean it has to dominate your life?
00:52:34.000 --> 00:52:34.320
No.
00:52:34.880 --> 00:52:40.960
But does it mean that for most of you it's been dominating your external decisions?
00:52:41.440 --> 00:52:42.079
Yes.
00:52:42.639 --> 00:52:45.679
And that's the whole idea.
00:52:46.079 --> 00:52:59.920
How and where, what happened that causes us to have to make decisions because the way the world wants us to see it, the way the world defines us as okay.
00:53:00.079 --> 00:53:02.719
And where it starts is as a kid.
00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:14.960
Where it starts literally is we will do what our parents tell us to do, which is the denial of self, the denial of emotion, the denial of empowerment.
00:53:16.159 --> 00:53:18.880
Big boys don't cry, denial of emotion.
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:36.719
Don't you dare get mad at me, denial of self, don't you ever say no to me, denial of empowerment, literally, and then we grow up with that whole emotional capacity not there.
00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:38.400
And what does that cause?
00:53:38.639 --> 00:53:39.599
Internal angst.
00:53:39.920 --> 00:53:41.360
How do we solve it?
00:53:41.679 --> 00:54:00.320
X seeking external approval by being the good boy, seeking external approval by agreeing, never saying no, seeking external approval or external abundance by producing and creating gratitude.
00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:04.639
Is there anything wrong literally with any of it?
00:54:04.960 --> 00:54:05.280
No.
00:54:06.000 --> 00:54:08.159
Well, then why are we talking about it, Joe?
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:11.039
Well, because for a lot of you, it doesn't work anymore.
00:54:11.199 --> 00:54:12.320
It just doesn't.
00:54:12.639 --> 00:54:17.280
You're looking at your lives right now and saying, my external world is good, but I've got a hole in my belly.
00:54:17.360 --> 00:54:18.079
Now what?
00:54:18.480 --> 00:54:26.320
You know, you've been in therapy for 15 years, five years, 10 years, whatever the it is, and you just can't do it the way you used to do it anymore.
00:54:26.559 --> 00:54:34.639
Well, the how-to is identify the old beliefs, embrace the old emotions that are stuffed.
00:54:34.719 --> 00:54:40.079
So we kind of start moving out of and we identify the internal emotion.
00:54:40.480 --> 00:54:54.320
And then the more we identify our own internal emotion, then our need to take external action steps in the pursuit of approval from somebody outside, it just goes away more and more and more.
00:54:54.559 --> 00:55:11.039
And it's very, very interesting because there's a lot of people out there that what happens is because they're not taught when there's something uncomfortable to go inside, they then just blame the external world.
00:55:11.280 --> 00:55:18.079
And then they either cut the external world off or make the external world wrong or make somebody else wrong or try to fix somebody else.
00:55:18.239 --> 00:55:31.760
But when in reality, the only reason they're trying to fix somebody or make the world wrong or whatever is because they're hurting themselves, because the act of the external world is causing an angst in their inside world.
00:55:32.079 --> 00:55:45.760
And that's where we want to look at when you're when you get when you see a peaked emotion, when you see a heightened emotion, instead of acting on it, slow down and get with your emotional sense of self.
00:55:45.840 --> 00:55:53.280
And that's where we literally can move from unconscious acting out of behavior patterns to conscious.
00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:55.119
And that's the same type of thing.
00:55:55.280 --> 00:56:05.519
When you catch yourself, when you see yourself taking actions, pursuing the approval of somebody else, whatever it might look like.
00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:12.320
I bought a new jag and my buddy's got a new Porsche, and I'm trying to impress him with my Jag over his Porsche, whatever the it is.
00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:22.639
When you start seeing, whenever you have somebody else's name in your decision-making process, that's codependence.
00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:28.960
That's an outside influence guiding your internal decisions.
00:56:29.360 --> 00:56:39.440
And the reason you're doing that, hold patterns, and the reason you're living it is you're trying to create an okayness by the external world.
00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:47.119
So what we want to do is create an okayness in the internal world, and then those external behaviors naturally change.
00:56:47.440 --> 00:56:56.000
How we can start right now, and part of my belief of all of us, the generation of change, and why are we the generation of change?
00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:59.440
Because we're already at a different level of consciousness.
00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:02.800
Some of the stuff I say for a lot of you, it's routine.
00:57:02.880 --> 00:57:05.440
You already know it, you're living past it forever.
00:57:05.599 --> 00:57:08.000
Some of you, you're hearing it for the first time.
00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:17.440
Well, the whole idea we help empower our kids, that's part of the generation of change.
00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:32.079
We give to our children what our parents did not give to us, that availability because we are more consciously awake, we're more consciously practiced, we're more consciously, we're more consciously spiritually living it already.
00:57:32.239 --> 00:57:42.559
And one of the techniques to do is start teaching your kids and people around you that are willing that they can hear their own thoughts.
00:57:43.039 --> 00:57:52.159
Unless the conversation comes up, a youngster doesn't sit back and say, Oh my gosh, I hear my glass, empty voices.
00:57:52.400 --> 00:58:05.039
No, they don't even know that it is, but as their parent, you can start teaching your kids to hear their own thoughts right now.
00:58:06.480 --> 00:58:08.639
We did it this is not long ago.
00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:14.320
My friend, my my son has this amazing young female that's a great friend.
00:58:14.559 --> 00:58:17.280
Now, this is a genius woman.
00:58:17.679 --> 00:58:21.039
She's I don't want to call her kid, she ain't she's 18.
00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:24.159
Everybody, anybody under 40 is a kid to me, just so you know.
00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:29.199
But her dominant language, her primary language is Spanish.
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:31.199
She's never gotten to be in her entire life.
00:58:31.360 --> 00:58:32.719
Complete genius.
00:58:33.039 --> 00:58:43.760
And my son asked her, he said, so when you're reading something, do you read it in English, interpret it in Spanish, and then put it back out there?
00:58:44.079 --> 00:58:48.239
And the first time he asked her the question, no one had ever asked her that question.
00:58:48.400 --> 00:58:49.599
She didn't know.
00:58:49.920 --> 00:58:52.719
So, you know, he didn't change it, went on, whatever.
00:58:52.960 --> 00:59:00.320
Well, now she has a consciousness because the question was asked, and she said, you know what?
00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:04.320
I took a test, she got like a 1580 on the SAT or something.
00:59:04.400 --> 00:59:12.960
And she said, The only reason I got I missed a couple, she got uh 800 in math, she missed a little in the English part because it was in English.
00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:15.760
If it had been in Spanish, she'd have aced both of them.
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:17.360
She's that kind of genius.
00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:20.559
And she said, it was in the interpretation.
00:59:20.719 --> 00:59:22.320
I'm reading it, right?
00:59:22.480 --> 00:59:28.000
And then I have to put it in Spanish in my head, and then I have to interpret the Spanish and then put it back out in English.
00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:33.360
She said, and she's now aware of the process that it goes on in her own brain.
00:59:33.519 --> 00:59:37.280
Before she just intuitively did it, never even knew, didn't no one asked, no one thought.
00:59:37.519 --> 00:59:42.639
Well, you can do that with your own kids right now, literally, right now, tomorrow morning.
00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:44.719
Ask them what they're thinking.
00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:45.920
Ask them.
00:59:46.159 --> 00:59:48.320
And they're gonna say, Well, I don't know.
00:59:48.559 --> 00:59:51.840
And then you say, Well, you've got a test coming up, right?
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:54.159
What are your thoughts about the test?
00:59:54.320 --> 00:59:56.320
What are you thinking about the test?
00:59:56.559 --> 00:59:58.880
And then whatever they say, honor it.
00:59:59.119 --> 01:00:00.639
Doesn't mean whatever it is.
01:00:00.800 --> 01:00:03.039
You get them thinking about their own thoughts.
01:00:03.440 --> 01:00:07.920
The other thing you can do right now, I do it, I've done it with my kids their entire lives.
01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:22.559
You can teach them that their gifts are of God, their literal gifts, their abilities, their ability to add one plus one is a God-given gift.
01:00:22.880 --> 01:00:27.760
You can teach your children that there is a higher presence.
01:00:27.840 --> 01:00:32.000
They are a spiritual being, and they might think you're wacky, they're gonna think you're crazy, whatever.
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:32.320
I don't know.
01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:34.239
I don't care what they think, quite honestly.
01:00:34.480 --> 01:00:37.440
I care that you start the dialogue with them now.
01:00:38.239 --> 01:00:41.360
And does this have anything to do with religion?
01:00:41.679 --> 01:00:42.960
No, not at all.
01:00:43.199 --> 01:00:51.679
You can teach your kids that Jesus, you're following Jesus, the the teachings of Jesus, or the consciousness of Jesus is inside of you.
01:00:51.840 --> 01:00:53.039
How do you do it?
01:00:53.280 --> 01:00:56.400
How do you truly follow what Jesus wants you to follow?
01:00:56.639 --> 01:00:58.880
Well, that voice is in you too.
01:00:59.039 --> 01:01:00.880
You can teach your kids that.
01:01:01.119 --> 01:01:10.000
You can also teach your kids that their instinct, their gut instinct, is something to be aware of.
01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:17.199
If something feels uncomfortable, be aware of the uncomfortable feeling.
01:01:17.360 --> 01:01:21.519
Don't deny it, don't dismiss it, don't act like it's not there.
01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:30.719
And most kids deny, dismiss, and act like it's not there because there's never been conscious conversation around it in the first place.
01:01:30.960 --> 01:01:42.639
So at the dinner table, at the at breakfast or whatever, especially you listeners out here that have young females in your world, their bellies are open.
01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:46.239
Their gut instinct is already in them.
01:01:46.480 --> 01:01:49.440
And for a lot of them, it's there and they don't know it.
01:01:49.679 --> 01:01:51.360
They're just not aware of it.
01:01:51.519 --> 01:01:54.000
You can start that conversation right now.
01:01:54.639 --> 01:01:55.280
Why?
01:01:55.679 --> 01:02:03.760
Because the more you bring their awareness that it's in them, as they get older, then they learn to follow it.
01:02:04.000 --> 01:02:05.920
I've used this example before.
01:02:06.079 --> 01:02:08.719
My oldest son, he always has an arm guard on.
01:02:08.880 --> 01:02:11.039
A couple two or three years ago, he goes out there.
01:02:11.119 --> 01:02:12.000
I see no arm guard.
01:02:12.159 --> 01:02:14.559
He got rushed on his elbow.
01:02:14.800 --> 01:02:21.599
And he gets plucked right on the elbow, 90 mile an hour fastball, right on that spot where he would have had an arm guard.
01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:23.679
And I said to him later, because it hurt.
01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:24.960
He never hurt.
01:02:25.119 --> 01:02:26.960
And he muscled through it.
01:02:27.199 --> 01:02:30.480
And I said, Why no arm guard?
01:02:30.800 --> 01:02:32.480
He says, Well, I got rushed.
01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:34.880
He said, and he said it to me.
01:02:35.119 --> 01:02:38.320
I heard a part tell me I should go put it on, but I ignored it.
01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:42.880
And I said to him, I said, Well, you know, in the future, you probably don't want to ignore that voice.
01:02:43.039 --> 01:02:44.159
Everybody will wait.
01:02:44.400 --> 01:02:48.320
The 23 seconds it would have taken him to put the arm guard on.
01:02:48.559 --> 01:03:00.880
And I'm not saying you have to have extreme experiences, but bring your bring the people around you the awareness of their gut instincts because it's in them.
01:03:01.039 --> 01:03:03.599
And they just need someone to talk with it about.
01:03:04.320 --> 01:03:07.119
How are we, the generation of change?
01:03:07.679 --> 01:03:17.119
Just doing those two things, helping young people know that they can hear their thoughts, you awaken them much earlier.
01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:20.320
Unconscious, we don't know we can hear our thoughts.
01:03:20.559 --> 01:03:22.559
Conscious, we know we can hear our thoughts.
01:03:22.719 --> 01:03:24.559
When did you do it for the first time?
01:03:24.800 --> 01:03:28.480
Know the date, know the era of time, and then measure it.
01:03:28.639 --> 01:03:29.199
Why?
01:03:29.440 --> 01:03:42.800
Because when you can sit brushing your teeth and you say, you know what, this is 2026, and I had my first conscious thought in my high school prom uh in 1994, you do the math.
01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:49.760
That puts you on a conscious path for 32 years, unconscious, conscious.
01:03:49.920 --> 01:03:50.639
And you know what?
01:03:50.800 --> 01:04:00.000
The more we do that, the more we become consciously aware of how aware we are personally, each one of us, it raises the vibration all the way around.
01:04:00.320 --> 01:04:14.480
You have the ability to teach your youth and people around you just those general ideas, and then you start their process much earlier than yours, typically.
01:04:14.639 --> 01:04:17.679
And that's a really, really powerful thing.
01:04:18.239 --> 01:04:28.559
The whole concept also of the right brain, left brain, right brain is the creative side of self, left brain is the analytical side of self.
01:04:28.800 --> 01:04:36.800
More and more and more and more people are coming into this world with more of a right-brained approach.
01:04:37.039 --> 01:04:44.800
And the challenge with that is that most school systems, it's there's just too many kids.
01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:45.760
There's just too many.
01:04:45.920 --> 01:04:49.360
This isn't a judgment at all, not a shaming at all.
01:04:49.840 --> 01:04:58.239
But a lot of school systems are not designed around for to educate for the right brained person.
01:04:58.639 --> 01:05:02.480
And no, you're not stupid, you're not dumb, you're none of that stuff.
01:05:02.639 --> 01:05:04.880
Your brain works different.
01:05:05.360 --> 01:05:21.119
If you're the person on this call right now, and what are on this episode right now, if you're the person and somebody asks you to add six plus nine plus four, if that takes you longer than four seconds, you're probably right brained.
01:05:21.280 --> 01:05:22.880
Does that make it wrong?
01:05:23.119 --> 01:05:23.440
No.
01:05:23.840 --> 01:05:32.880
But what I want you to understand, for a lot of adults right here on this podcast, a lot of you are right brained.
01:05:32.960 --> 01:05:41.440
And a lot of you have had a challenge your entire adult life, adding numbers or processing things fast or interpreting information quickly.
01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:42.079
Why?
01:05:42.400 --> 01:05:45.599
Because the right brain functions differently.
01:05:45.840 --> 01:05:52.320
For the right brain human, one plus one plus one a lot of times is a triangle, not three.
01:05:52.559 --> 01:05:59.280
Now, for the left brain human that has the mental capacity to add, one plus one plus one is three.
01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:08.880
My oldest memorized the presidents, George Washington, John Adams, all the way through to whoever the president was at the time when he was 10.
01:06:09.199 --> 01:06:18.239
In two days, my youngest, who's extremely right-brained, one plus one plus one plus one equals two, Ryan.
01:06:18.559 --> 01:06:20.159
One plus one equals two.
01:06:20.320 --> 01:06:21.119
He would repeat.
01:06:27.920 --> 01:06:28.480
Blank.
01:06:28.719 --> 01:06:30.400
You see his eyes looking.
01:06:30.719 --> 01:06:35.440
The answer wasn't in his head yet in a third grade.
01:06:35.519 --> 01:06:36.159
It wasn't.
01:06:36.320 --> 01:06:46.400
So we did all sorts of things to educate his brain, which learns different than a left brain person.
01:06:46.800 --> 01:06:54.880
Now, my youngest, who's an absolute modern-day Mozart, he sees patterns, he can play anything on the piano he wants.
01:06:55.119 --> 01:07:05.760
His capacity to remember, because we took the time when he was young to educate him from a right brain perspective is really, really powerful.
01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:17.920
I wish, I don't, I wish right now I could give you a website to go to if you've got right brain kids, because they are going to learn differently than your left brain kids.
01:07:18.079 --> 01:07:24.960
And if most of us, you know, our kids have to be in public school, the public school, they just do it differently.
01:07:25.119 --> 01:07:27.119
Public school is more about memorization.
01:07:27.280 --> 01:07:30.559
And the right brain kid has a challenging time memorizing.
01:07:30.639 --> 01:07:31.280
They just do.
01:07:31.519 --> 01:07:36.719
Not because there's anything wrong with them, their brain works differently.
01:07:36.960 --> 01:07:45.039
And quite honestly, that's why my kids have been homeschooled here at the house since my oldest, my youngest was in the third grade.
01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:46.239
He's in the ninth grade now.
01:07:46.320 --> 01:07:47.039
And it worked.
01:07:47.280 --> 01:07:49.119
Ryan has to read things out loud.
01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:50.320
He always did.
01:07:50.559 --> 01:07:52.400
Couldn't do that in the middle of a classroom.
01:07:52.559 --> 01:07:53.119
Couldn't.
01:07:53.360 --> 01:08:05.119
So I bring that up because a lot of you on this podcast, you yourself, you're playing cards and you got three cards, and you got a nine, you got a jack, and you got a four.
01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:06.719
And it takes you a while to add those numbers.
01:08:06.800 --> 01:08:08.000
You want to count them on your fingers.
01:08:08.159 --> 01:08:08.960
Anything wrong with it?
01:08:09.199 --> 01:08:09.519
No.
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:22.079
But I want you to understand the right brain and the right brain person, that right brain learner, the right brain is also connected to the feminine side of self.
01:08:22.159 --> 01:08:27.520
And the feminine side of self is the part of self that's opening up to humanity in a huge way.
01:08:27.760 --> 01:08:37.359
So right brain people are also deeply compassionate, deeply loving, typically very kind, very spiritual, truly.
01:08:37.600 --> 01:08:44.399
You might have a challenge adding three numbers at the same time, but your ability to empathize and have compassion is off the charts.
01:08:44.800 --> 01:09:06.159
Well, if you're that person and you have people in your life who are those people, know that there are learning systems out there, and it's going to be happening more and more, where the right-brained learner has to be taught differently than most school systems, than most school systems have the ability to teach.
01:09:06.479 --> 01:09:11.600
I talked about there are guidance systems, and I'm going to briefly go through them.
01:09:11.840 --> 01:09:20.399
The next couple of podcasts, I'm going to talk about them in length, and then I want to tell you so my this how it fits so perfect, confusing.
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:30.239
So the whole idea of being guided outside in is the unconscious world, literally.
01:09:30.479 --> 01:09:42.000
The unconscious world, the entire pursuit of okayness is based on the belief of if I accomplish outside, I'll feel better inside.
01:09:42.319 --> 01:09:47.520
The unconscious world is the world that says that they don't even know they can hear their own thoughts.
01:09:47.680 --> 01:09:54.159
The unconscious world is a world that's kind of you live in absolute repeat patterns.
01:09:54.479 --> 01:10:01.439
Most of your pleasures are based on addiction, satiation, and that's just where people are.
01:10:01.600 --> 01:10:05.279
Everybody on this podcast knows dozens of people.
01:10:05.439 --> 01:10:07.680
They see it every day, and that's just where they are.
01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:08.479
Good or bad?
01:10:08.640 --> 01:10:10.159
No, just the facts.
01:10:10.399 --> 01:10:19.199
The next phase is where you go from completely unconscious to conscious, and conscious means you can hear your own thoughts.
01:10:19.680 --> 01:10:29.119
My first true, my second true conscious thought was the police officers are not trying to get me to stop drinking.
01:10:29.279 --> 01:10:32.880
They're trying to get me to stop drinking and driving.
01:10:33.119 --> 01:10:37.039
It's 40 years ago, literally, 20, uh, 30 years ago.
01:10:37.600 --> 01:10:43.119
And from that position, I started to be able to hear my own thoughts.
01:10:43.359 --> 01:10:51.359
And that's way back when the whole positive affirmation concept was like fantastic, because I'd hear all these crazy thoughts and I wanted to fix them.
01:10:51.520 --> 01:11:02.880
Because the next phase after going from conscious to unconscious, I mean from unconscious to conscious, and then you start that the voices you hear are going to be glass empty voices.
01:11:03.119 --> 01:11:14.159
They're going to be fear-based, hate-based, hurt-based voices, voices that are always pursuing and making decisions based on afraid of not getting what you want or afraid of losing what you have.
01:11:14.399 --> 01:11:15.600
Hear what I said.
01:11:15.840 --> 01:11:26.880
When you're living from the guidance system of your fear, 99% of your decisions are based on the fear of not getting what you want or the fear of losing what you have.
01:11:27.119 --> 01:11:29.279
And that's kind of that position.
01:11:30.079 --> 01:11:33.680
You can hear them, so you're not unconscious.
01:11:34.000 --> 01:11:36.720
And it's more than just hearing thoughts.
01:11:36.880 --> 01:11:43.760
Now you start hearing phrases and you start associating emotion with the phrases.
01:11:43.920 --> 01:11:45.439
That's kind of the next level.
01:11:45.520 --> 01:11:47.680
That's kind of the next position.
01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:58.960
Well, after that, then we start healing a little bit, and we want to start moving from fear-based voices guiding us to our glass empty voices to glass full.
01:11:59.119 --> 01:12:00.000
How do we do that?
01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:13.199
We write down the glass empty voices, which is called a first step, bullet point, bullet point, and again get the book at um joemitiga.com because I go through, I have hundreds of them.
01:12:13.359 --> 01:12:16.720
And in the book, I've got, I don't know, 50.
01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:17.920
And why do I say it?
01:12:18.079 --> 01:12:22.560
Because as you read my voices, you're gonna say, oh my God, I have that one, I have that one, I have that one, I have that one.
01:12:22.640 --> 01:12:23.439
It just helps.
01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:25.039
And write them down yourself.
01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:33.520
And then we go from glass empty, and then why do we want to shift from glass empty voices to glass full voices?
01:12:33.600 --> 01:12:36.560
Because our glass empty voices is hurt guiding us.
01:12:36.800 --> 01:12:41.119
Glass full voices are which are gonna be more inclusive, if you will.
01:12:41.359 --> 01:12:57.359
More glass empty voices are gonna be all or nothing, red or black or white, where an all-inclusive voice, which is gonna be more of a higher you, a different you, a grander you, a more okay you, it's gonna be more of an inclusive voice.
01:12:57.520 --> 01:13:10.000
It's gonna sound like, well, maybe we can go on a trip, or maybe we're gonna get this new job, or maybe we can make more money, or the maybes, the possibilities, and that's the glassful voice.
01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:17.279
Well, eventually with the glassful voices, a guidance system that comes into play is emotion.
01:13:17.600 --> 01:13:23.199
And we say, if it feels right emotionally, then it's right.
01:13:24.800 --> 01:13:25.920
It's a great place.
01:13:26.079 --> 01:13:33.359
It's much better than being completely unconscious, and it's much better than being guided by your glass empty voices.
01:13:33.680 --> 01:13:42.479
But your emotional guidance system is the most fragile, unpredictable, set you up for challenge that there is.
01:13:42.720 --> 01:13:44.560
Is it better than the others?
01:13:44.800 --> 01:13:50.399
Better meaning, is it a higher vibrational you in pursuit?
01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:51.359
Yes.
01:13:52.079 --> 01:14:03.760
And I have an amazing story that happened to me literally 25 years ago, where I was truly following my feelings, and I followed them right into a brick wall.
01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:07.199
And I'll tell that story when I do that later.
01:14:07.600 --> 01:14:11.119
The next place after that is we get into discernment.
01:14:11.520 --> 01:14:21.199
And from a place of discernment, what beyond emotion, and then we discern the possibilities of okayness.
01:14:21.359 --> 01:14:34.960
We discern the possibilities of result and possibility, and there's not a whole lot of time associated with it, and it's more discernment than emotion.
01:14:35.279 --> 01:14:44.079
And all of that, when you get to discernment, discernment of decision-making process removes emotion.
01:14:44.319 --> 01:14:56.079
When you make the decision based on discernment, there's going to be an afforable emotion, andor the emotion because you might discern it's not the right time to go on a trip.
01:14:56.560 --> 01:15:03.760
So because of the facts of you don't have enough money and blah, blah, blah, whatever it is.
01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:11.199
So there's going to be emotional consequence to your discernment, but the emotion isn't what's making the decision.
01:15:11.439 --> 01:15:12.399
Discernment is.
01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:23.760
And when we get to discernment, that is the that is the most stable and self-loving because it brings in all possibilities.
01:15:24.000 --> 01:15:31.520
And we discern the pros, we discern the cons, we talk it through, we allow time to be part of the creation of the decision.
01:15:31.920 --> 01:15:38.560
And once we discern and make a decision, then there's going to be emotional consequence.
01:15:38.880 --> 01:15:43.920
Highs, lows, greats, not anger, fear, mad glad, sad, or scared somewhere, somehow.
01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:47.920
All of that is all part of the human development.
01:15:48.239 --> 01:16:05.039
Unconscious to conscious, conscious voices to glass, conscious, being able to hear your thoughts, being conscious, then being aware that your glass empty voices are guiding you, going from glass empty voices guiding you to glass full voices guiding you.
01:16:05.279 --> 01:16:09.119
Then from glass full voices guiding you, you go to does it feel right?
01:16:09.279 --> 01:16:12.239
We start bringing in emotion, again, all human.
01:16:12.399 --> 01:16:15.039
Then we transcend emotion, we go to discernment.
01:16:15.439 --> 01:16:19.600
And I thought that was the end point.
01:16:20.239 --> 01:16:22.399
It's not, that's the launch.
01:16:22.640 --> 01:16:24.159
Because what's the next place?
01:16:24.319 --> 01:16:26.239
It's called following your knowings.
01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:32.319
And a knowing is not of your humanity, a knowing is of your divinity.
01:16:32.479 --> 01:16:35.119
And I'm not going to talk more much about that now.
01:16:35.439 --> 01:16:45.279
In future podcasts, I'm going to go through each one of those things and give stories and experiences of just the guidance system development in consciousness, how we do it.
01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:54.720
And from a place of knowings, emotion is removed, humanity is removed, quite honestly, literally, because your knowings are of your divinity.
01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:59.359
Now, your divinity can have the knowing, it's so your humanity that has to take the action step.
01:16:59.439 --> 01:17:02.000
That's where the communion comes in.
01:17:02.159 --> 01:17:06.880
But when you're following your knowings, emotions are not part of the equation.
01:17:07.359 --> 01:17:13.680
And that whole experience of following your knowings, as you get practiced with it, it's cool.
01:17:13.840 --> 01:17:14.800
It's a great feeling.
01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:15.760
It really is.
01:17:16.159 --> 01:17:19.680
Now, does it satiate your humanity?
01:17:19.920 --> 01:17:20.800
Sometimes.
01:17:21.039 --> 01:17:22.720
A lot of times, no, it doesn't.
01:17:22.880 --> 01:17:23.279
Why?
01:17:23.520 --> 01:17:26.640
Because your divinity isn't here to satiate your humanity.
01:17:26.880 --> 01:17:36.000
Your divinity is here to bring your humanity's perspective equal to your divinity so you can live as one truly.
01:17:36.479 --> 01:17:42.000
Where humanity is always trying to pursue an action step that satiates itself.
01:17:42.319 --> 01:17:43.600
Is that a bad thing?
01:17:43.920 --> 01:17:44.239
No.
01:17:44.880 --> 01:17:48.960
But it's a limiting thing, just is.
01:17:49.199 --> 01:17:49.760
Why?
01:17:50.000 --> 01:17:53.520
Because it's self-satiating self.
01:17:53.920 --> 01:17:59.600
And a lot of times, you know, gratitude, and that's not arrogant or ego, but it is human.
01:18:00.159 --> 01:18:13.119
When you shift out of your human being guided, and you move into knowings, your knowings are of your divinity, and your knowings are clearer, they're stronger, they're they have more of a foundation to them.
01:18:13.279 --> 01:18:17.760
And then learning how to follow it is learning how to live from faith.
01:18:18.079 --> 01:18:29.039
And that's easy as long as what you believe you're knowing is the direction you're knowing is taking you, as long as it just keeps unfolding.
01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:37.199
And that's where this past week the Wii podcast started November the 11th, I think, 2025.
01:18:37.359 --> 01:18:39.520
So we're right now 11 months old.
01:18:39.680 --> 01:18:41.840
Well, it has exploded.
01:18:42.159 --> 01:18:45.199
Because of all of you, the Wii Podcast has exploded.
01:18:45.359 --> 01:18:48.560
And as I'm watching it explode, how do I know it explodes?
01:18:48.640 --> 01:18:52.000
I see the numbers periodically, but I see rankings.
01:18:52.239 --> 01:19:21.039
And you know, four million active podcasts when the Wii podcast with no not one characteristic of every, unlike every other podcast that's on the top chart, every other podcast had a massive amount of money, a massive amount of support, a massive amount of business behind, a massive amount of people behind.
01:19:21.520 --> 01:19:23.920
The We Podcast was a man in a microphone.
01:19:24.000 --> 01:19:26.159
That's why the story is so unique.
01:19:26.479 --> 01:19:32.479
And because of all of you, the Wii Podcast ranks in the top 200.
01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:41.760
And for two months, three months, it was in the top 50, reached up to the 34th ranking of four million websites.
01:19:42.000 --> 01:19:43.520
So, why do I say all that?
01:19:43.760 --> 01:19:56.880
Because my knowing of my higher purpose and a grander me of healing humanity by mirroring back consciousness and sharing people, how did I become one with a power greater than myself?
01:19:57.119 --> 01:20:02.880
It wasn't by pursuit of a relationship with God, it was by healing the depths of my emotions.
01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:10.239
Every time I healed deeper, my awakening of a grander me became the consequence.
01:20:10.399 --> 01:20:13.760
And it all kind of clicked together over these past four or five years.
01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:20.880
And that all fits because the emotional side or the female side of self is emotion and spirit.
01:20:21.439 --> 01:20:24.159
Well, following, following, following, right?
01:20:24.319 --> 01:20:32.720
And the knowing is being represented by the rankings, by the numbers, by all of you that I'm on the path.
01:20:32.800 --> 01:20:35.920
Because we're talking now, because the man has to make the decision.
01:20:36.079 --> 01:20:42.159
The man is the one following my knowings, following a grander me.
01:20:42.640 --> 01:20:46.960
And again, it's easy when you see the result.
01:20:47.760 --> 01:21:01.199
Well, October the 5th, the Wii podcast for three, two and a half months was in the top charts, went from the top charts to gone, out of the top charts.
01:21:01.439 --> 01:21:03.760
And I'm like, like, what happened?
01:21:04.000 --> 01:21:05.600
I just didn't know, right?
01:21:05.920 --> 01:21:10.720
And then the top the Wii podcast was the number three ranked podcast in education.
01:21:11.039 --> 01:21:15.920
And for the two or three days in a row, it went from three to 27 to 50.
01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:21.840
I'm literally watching it go down and then eventually off the education charts.
01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:27.680
And I say all of this because my humanity, the man, I say it all the time.
01:21:27.840 --> 01:21:32.960
There's a man here, my divinity speaking, but there's a man here talking.
01:21:33.359 --> 01:21:42.079
It was giving the human man in me comfort to see that I'm following and knowing and doing what I'm being guided to do.
01:21:42.319 --> 01:21:51.439
But there was still for my humanity, it brought me comfort and celebration to see the rankings because it was something my humanity could put my hands on.
01:21:51.600 --> 01:21:52.239
I could see it.
01:21:52.319 --> 01:21:54.079
It was a physical thing.
01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:58.560
And when it was just removed out of nowhere, it's all computer, right?
01:21:58.720 --> 01:22:00.399
I don't know how the heck I got there.
01:22:00.479 --> 01:22:02.000
And then it's just removed.
01:22:02.239 --> 01:22:11.199
I went through a four-day period of time where disappointed emotions, of course, confused, like what happened?
01:22:11.439 --> 01:22:16.479
And then because I just don't know this world, I thought, like, did I do something?
01:22:16.640 --> 01:22:17.199
I don't know.
01:22:17.359 --> 01:22:19.520
I didn't know at all.
01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:26.319
And what I found over that four-day period of time, the first day, there was a lot of emotion.
01:22:26.479 --> 01:22:28.319
And then eventually the emotions away.
01:22:28.399 --> 01:22:32.880
So I'm in my sacred silence, which five, six hours a day.
01:22:33.119 --> 01:22:37.520
Remember, everybody, do your five minutes, work up to an hour.
01:22:37.680 --> 01:22:38.079
Why?
01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:43.600
Because you want to get guided by a power greater, you'll find it in your silence, the soft voice in your silence.
01:22:43.760 --> 01:22:51.760
I'm still doing five or six hours every day, and about probably 7,000 pieces into a 40,000-piece puzzle.
01:22:51.840 --> 01:22:53.600
I do puzzles in my silence.
01:22:54.000 --> 01:23:06.399
Well, it was after that first day, and I wrote my voices that I realized that I had to go deeper in me to find the faith that I'm still okay.
01:23:06.640 --> 01:23:08.159
I'm on the path.
01:23:08.399 --> 01:23:15.520
There was a silence because there wasn't external stimulus with the rankings gone.
01:23:15.840 --> 01:23:30.239
And for a four-day period of time, I'm in this complete state of blankness, not questioning whether I'm right or wrong, but simply not knowing.
01:23:30.560 --> 01:23:45.680
And in the not knowing, I was able to identify, and I felt a surrender in me saying, I don't have to know, because it's all in God's hands.
01:23:45.920 --> 01:23:51.760
And just because I don't see the we podcast on the Apple charts doesn't mean it's not in God's hands.
01:23:52.079 --> 01:23:56.000
And after about that three days, and believe me, it's uncomfortable.
01:23:56.239 --> 01:24:01.199
It is easy to have faith when everything internal and external is the same.
01:24:01.600 --> 01:24:06.960
But the external has was such a heightened uniqueness.
01:24:07.199 --> 01:24:10.640
And my goal of helping 100 million people is unique.
01:24:11.119 --> 01:24:32.640
Well, when the visual was away and there wasn't external stimulus of celebration, which is me with me, and a three-day, four-day place of just deep silence with no guidance, with no take this action, take that action, just silence.
01:24:32.960 --> 01:24:41.680
And in that silence, there was a part of me that went from concern, the human in me that went to concern that said, I'm good.
01:24:42.880 --> 01:24:44.079
This is a God thing.
01:24:44.159 --> 01:24:45.439
This is not a Joe thing.
01:24:45.600 --> 01:24:47.840
God's, I don't know how it's going to end up.
01:24:48.000 --> 01:24:50.720
I don't know if I'll ever be on the charts again, an apple.
01:24:50.880 --> 01:24:51.439
I don't know.
01:24:51.600 --> 01:24:52.479
I just don't know.
01:24:52.640 --> 01:24:55.439
And and I don't see numbers, so I don't know.
01:24:55.520 --> 01:25:09.039
I didn't have any external validation, but I just felt this okayenness come over me because I and I felt myself having to go into a deeper place of faith that there's a God and it's not Joe.
01:25:09.119 --> 01:25:11.199
And I don't know why this was happening.
01:25:11.279 --> 01:25:12.319
And that happened.
01:25:12.560 --> 01:25:21.600
The very next day, I wake up and I get this inspiration to start pursuing, and I've been feeling this for a while.
01:25:21.760 --> 01:25:25.840
It's time for me to come out from behind the microphone and get on stages.
01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:35.760
It's time for me to come meet every one of you face to face, shake your hands, hug your necks, look eye to eye, become friends with all of you to get out there on stages.
01:25:36.239 --> 01:25:41.279
And so that was a guidance system, and I've started that process.
01:25:41.439 --> 01:25:50.319
And then about four days in, the part of me says, you know, you're the top trending podcast on Spotify.
01:25:50.560 --> 01:25:52.399
And I was like, Oh.
01:25:53.600 --> 01:25:54.880
And why is that important?
01:25:55.119 --> 01:25:58.640
I keep talking about the rankings as if the rankings have something to do with me.
01:25:58.800 --> 01:25:59.199
Nada.
01:25:59.760 --> 01:26:03.680
The rankings mean all of there's just more and more of us listening.
01:26:03.840 --> 01:26:08.399
And the more I'm putting it out there and the more people are listening, there's just a grander sense.
01:26:08.560 --> 01:26:12.399
And I was like, oh, well, that's change.
01:26:13.279 --> 01:26:16.800
For 11 months, my focus was Apple.
01:26:17.199 --> 01:26:21.520
In that four-day period of blankness, then I saw Spotify.
01:26:21.680 --> 01:26:25.039
I didn't even notice how Spotify was two months ago.
01:26:25.279 --> 01:26:29.119
And I hear that there's more people on Spotify than Apple, which is fabulous.
01:26:29.279 --> 01:26:29.760
I don't know.
01:26:29.920 --> 01:26:31.119
I just don't know.
01:26:31.439 --> 01:26:37.760
But that change from one focus of celebration to the other, it takes time.
01:26:38.319 --> 01:26:44.880
In the gap between an old familiar and a new familiar, even though it's wonderful.
01:26:45.359 --> 01:26:55.359
And that's where I realized that your external accomplishments have zero to do with your internal guidance.
01:26:55.600 --> 01:26:56.399
Nothing.
01:26:56.640 --> 01:26:58.159
It's the other way around.
01:26:58.399 --> 01:27:02.800
And in those four days, five days, my internal guidance was silent.
01:27:03.279 --> 01:27:09.359
The old celebratory experience was blank in zero.
01:27:09.439 --> 01:27:15.119
So deep loss in the zero, in the not there anymore, the emotion I had to go through.
01:27:15.359 --> 01:27:32.079
And then as the new awareness of Spotify came up, that felt good, but it didn't, it was a difference because there's change, both amazing, both extraordinary, all of it because of all of you, all of it because of what we're doing together here.
01:27:32.159 --> 01:27:33.520
None of it, Joe.
01:27:33.920 --> 01:27:46.479
But I just want to explain the differences because you can be having something go on in your life and get a great new job and feel deeply sad because you're losing the old job.
01:27:46.640 --> 01:27:51.439
And the great new job might be$400,000 a year, and the old job was only$150,000.
01:27:51.600 --> 01:27:58.079
And the world, so you should be happy, but you're not because you're sad of losing the old job.
01:27:58.239 --> 01:27:59.680
Yes, that's the huge.
01:28:00.159 --> 01:28:03.119
Human emotional experience with the whole thing.
01:28:03.439 --> 01:28:24.000
And that experience of change, it doesn't matter when even when you go from grand to grandeur, which in this case is a I'm describing a grand to grandeur experience, there was still loss, there was still emotion, there was still void.
01:28:24.079 --> 01:28:25.920
And that's why it was still confusing.
01:28:26.079 --> 01:28:34.159
That's why when I say why life can feel so confusing, it fit me so perfectly this past week.
01:28:34.479 --> 01:28:48.399
And I'm wise enough to know, even though I'm so blessed, and the Wii Podcast is blessed to have a massive audience going on in Spotify, it did not negate the confusion of the other stuff.
01:28:48.640 --> 01:28:50.399
And that's the point here.
01:28:50.960 --> 01:29:05.680
As your world changes, as your world shifts, as your world becomes grander, just because your world becomes grander because you're following a grander you doesn't mean there's going to be immediate clarity, doesn't mean there's going to be immediate wonderment.
01:29:05.760 --> 01:29:08.640
That doesn't mean there's not going to be loss and sadness and fear.
01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:10.720
It means you're going to have all of it.
01:29:12.000 --> 01:29:13.359
Literally all of it.
01:29:13.439 --> 01:29:14.720
And is that a bad thing?
01:29:14.960 --> 01:29:15.199
No.
01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:20.960
I just want you to be aware of as you spiritually are growing, there's emotional consequences.
01:29:21.119 --> 01:29:24.239
And those emotional consequences, they're uncomfortable.
01:29:24.479 --> 01:29:27.039
Bottom line, they're uncomfortable.
01:29:27.359 --> 01:29:31.680
And in this particular experience, that's what I literally just went through.
01:29:31.840 --> 01:29:40.159
And this morning, out of nowhere, poofo, the Wii podcast back on education charts.
01:29:40.560 --> 01:29:44.159
And it goes like it's 157 out of 200.
01:29:44.319 --> 01:29:49.600
And then two hours later, 72, two hours later after that, this is all yesterday.
01:29:49.760 --> 01:29:55.600
And then I wake up this morning, we podcast, number four back in education, right where it left from.
01:29:55.760 --> 01:29:58.079
And then about midday, poofo.
01:29:58.560 --> 01:30:02.239
We podcast ranked 185 on top charts.
01:30:02.399 --> 01:30:06.399
And right now, 120, 121 on top charts.
01:30:06.640 --> 01:30:09.920
So literally, why did all that have to happen?
01:30:10.319 --> 01:30:10.880
I don't know.
01:30:11.119 --> 01:30:12.239
What actually happened?
01:30:12.399 --> 01:30:13.119
Clueless.
01:30:13.359 --> 01:30:14.479
What does Apple do?
01:30:14.560 --> 01:30:14.880
I don't know.
01:30:15.039 --> 01:30:16.720
Apple has a Apple's techno.
01:30:16.960 --> 01:30:20.560
I don't have any idea what Apple's doing, but what did it do for Joe?
01:30:21.359 --> 01:30:33.199
In a place of silence, there was a codependence in Joe that was using a visual of a ranking to cause me pleasure.
01:30:33.359 --> 01:30:33.760
Period.
01:30:33.920 --> 01:30:34.880
That's what it was.
01:30:35.039 --> 01:30:37.680
And when that was removed, I felt loss.
01:30:38.239 --> 01:30:40.720
Did I think that all of y'all stopped listening?
01:30:40.880 --> 01:30:43.039
No, I knew for a fact everybody was still listening.
01:30:43.119 --> 01:30:44.560
It was my own codependence.
01:30:44.640 --> 01:30:54.079
It was my own using of an external visual, in this case, a ranking, and looking and seeing that ranking caused me pleasure.
01:30:54.239 --> 01:30:55.119
It just did.
01:30:55.279 --> 01:30:57.840
It feels freaking good to see it.
01:30:58.319 --> 01:31:06.239
And the underlying reason it feels so good for Joe is because it just means more and more of us are doing it, more and more of us are healing.
01:31:06.560 --> 01:31:08.960
And that's all part of my higher purpose.
01:31:09.199 --> 01:31:13.920
But there was a human part of me that when it was gone, I was deeply disappointed.
01:31:14.319 --> 01:31:16.239
Did I push the disappointment away?
01:31:16.479 --> 01:31:16.720
No.
01:31:17.039 --> 01:31:18.800
Did I make the disappointment wrong?
01:31:18.960 --> 01:31:19.279
No.
01:31:19.520 --> 01:31:21.600
Did I write out the voices of the disappointment?
01:31:21.760 --> 01:31:22.239
Yes.
01:31:22.479 --> 01:31:28.079
The exact things I share with each of you, they're going to have things in your life you're going to be disappointed about.
01:31:28.239 --> 01:31:30.319
Write the voices down and feel the feelings.
01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:33.039
Just write them down and feel the feelings.
01:31:33.359 --> 01:31:42.399
And unlike what might be a human belief system that says, well, when I go more spiritual, everything's going to be grander.
01:31:42.960 --> 01:31:43.279
No.
01:31:44.000 --> 01:31:49.199
There's the gap between old spiritual and new spiritual, there's a gap.
01:31:49.359 --> 01:31:51.600
And in that gap, there's a human experience.
01:31:51.760 --> 01:31:54.079
And in that human experience, there's all sorts of emotions.
01:31:54.239 --> 01:31:55.520
What are they going to be?
01:31:55.680 --> 01:31:56.479
I don't know.
01:31:56.720 --> 01:31:57.359
Don't know.
01:31:57.520 --> 01:32:03.359
A lot of times it's lost because it's this the shedding of the skin, the snake, shedding of the skin.
01:32:03.680 --> 01:32:09.600
And on the other side, and you start filling in the new place of grandness.
01:32:09.760 --> 01:32:10.880
Is it all grander?
01:32:11.039 --> 01:32:12.239
Yes, it is.
01:32:12.560 --> 01:32:14.399
So literally, where do I sit today?
01:32:14.560 --> 01:32:17.119
Where do I, the human, the man, sit here today?
01:32:17.359 --> 01:32:18.319
Very grateful.
01:32:18.880 --> 01:32:34.479
Because I experienced and found the capacity to have a deeper sense of faith in a very deep, dark, no guidance, completely silent place, four days of complete silence.
01:32:34.560 --> 01:32:36.880
And I mean silence, external and internal.
01:32:37.279 --> 01:32:40.239
And comes out the other side, and here we are.
01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:46.159
So for all of us, we're growing, the process of growing.
01:32:46.239 --> 01:32:56.800
And I want you to understand that some of you are just waking up to the idea of I've lived my whole life doing this, and I've just outgrown it.
01:32:56.960 --> 01:32:59.119
And that's a confusing thing.
01:32:59.439 --> 01:33:04.880
Understand whatever you've done your whole life, just because you've outgrown it, doesn't make any of it wrong.
01:33:05.119 --> 01:33:07.600
It just means you're growing into something else.
01:33:07.760 --> 01:33:15.600
And you'll be amazed at all the growth you had and the techniques you use to acknowledge and to have the original successes.
01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:18.159
You'll use that in whatever your next adventure is.
01:33:18.319 --> 01:33:19.119
You just will.
01:33:19.520 --> 01:33:33.039
And as we all grow and we shift and we go through that void, the vacant, the dark, that that space and the space between old conscious and new conscious, when we're in the between the middle of, it's confusing.
01:33:33.199 --> 01:33:34.560
And you will feel lost.
01:33:34.720 --> 01:33:43.039
And I just want you to hear that in your place of lost, instead of believing there's something wrong, ask for strength and courage.
01:33:43.279 --> 01:33:46.880
Instead of thinking you've done something wrong, ask for guidance.
01:33:47.119 --> 01:33:59.920
Instead of feeling like, like, you know, the sadness and everything, write out the voices, embrace the emotion, and then ask for the courage to just sometimes sit in it.
01:34:00.000 --> 01:34:02.399
And that's what I did for four days.
01:34:02.640 --> 01:34:06.800
I sat in a blankness and had all the experiences.
01:34:07.039 --> 01:34:09.359
And now I'm on the other side.
01:34:09.680 --> 01:34:15.520
And I don't know what the next things will be, but whatever it is, I'll share with you.
01:34:15.760 --> 01:34:21.680
On the next episodes and all that, we're moving more and more into development of consciousness.
01:34:21.840 --> 01:34:23.920
We're talking about emotional growth.
01:34:24.079 --> 01:34:25.439
That was my path.
01:34:25.600 --> 01:34:32.560
And soon, hopefully, I'm going to be out there on the out the in the world and I'll get to meet you face to face.
01:34:32.960 --> 01:34:37.840
Please get my book, Filling the Void, joemitica.com.
01:34:38.159 --> 01:34:39.439
It was God guided.
01:34:39.520 --> 01:34:42.000
And I can promise you, there'll be something in there somewhere.
01:34:42.079 --> 01:34:44.399
If you're guided to get it for free, download it.
01:34:44.640 --> 01:34:47.439
There'll be something in there that you're going to know why you did it as you read it.
01:34:47.600 --> 01:34:49.279
I don't know what your it will be.
01:34:49.520 --> 01:34:50.399
It'll be there.
01:34:50.640 --> 01:34:55.119
With the episodes, let my voice keep you company during your challenging times.
01:34:55.279 --> 01:34:58.159
Let my voice celebrate with you during your happy times.
01:34:58.399 --> 01:35:01.760
Let my voice bring some clarity when you're confused.
01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:08.079
And let my voice challenge some of the things that the world around you has been telling you right or wrong.
01:35:08.239 --> 01:35:10.159
And you know, together, that's how we do it.
01:35:10.239 --> 01:35:12.800
That's why I say keep visiting the different episodes.
01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:19.439
One of the reasons the We Podcast ranks so high is because out of 64 episodes, 40 of them are still active.
01:35:19.680 --> 01:35:30.479
And that's what it's designed to do: to always be a resource, a library to support you in your personal, emotional, and spiritual growth.
01:35:30.640 --> 01:35:34.960
Emotional healing, spiritual growth, human transformation.
01:35:35.359 --> 01:35:37.279
That's what the Wii podcast is.
01:35:37.439 --> 01:35:39.680
And folks, together we're doing it.
01:35:39.920 --> 01:35:41.439
Together we're healing.
01:35:41.600 --> 01:35:43.039
Together we're growing.
01:35:43.199 --> 01:35:44.880
Together we're waking up.
01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:48.479
And truly, together, we're healing humanity.
01:35:48.720 --> 01:35:50.720
One smile at a time.
01:35:50.960 --> 01:35:55.680
