00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.200
In the book Reality Trans Surfing, Vadim Zealand says, You don't wish, you don't hope, you intend.
00:00:07.839 --> 00:00:12.160
And ever since I read those lines, I knew there was something to it.
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.199
I wasn't sure what, but it was curious to me.
00:00:15.359 --> 00:00:22.480
And what's funny about it is when I found this book, Reality Transurfing, I was really at a low point in my life.
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:24.640
I had read a lot of self-help.
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:29.760
I had tried a lot of things and they didn't really seem to work as well.
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:31.679
And also I wasn't applying them.
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:36.960
But then I found reality transurfing and it just spoke in a new language.
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.119
And basically it's magic without a cake.
00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:46.560
Alright, so I'm here in New Orleans, Louisiana, which is a Creole, mystical, magical place.
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:54.000
And I wanted to talk with you a little bit about the magical and mysterious power of intention.
00:00:54.399 --> 00:01:05.200
Now, New Orleans is a particularly interesting place because of the Creole, because of the mix, because so many different spiritual ideas and religious ideas came together here.
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:19.840
There's a unique culture with voodoo, hoodoo, and Catholicism, where all of these methodologies, modalities, whatever you want to call them, traditions are all mixed together like a jambalaya.
00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:27.680
And so a long time ago, when people were coming in, this was French, this was Spanish, then it became American.
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:31.920
So there's all these different energies here surrounding the city.
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.680
There's literally no place on earth like New Orleans.
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.359
It has its own soul, its own special flavor.
00:01:39.519 --> 00:01:44.959
And with that comes a lot of energy, a lot of pendulums.
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:52.719
And I really can't think of a better place to illustrate the idea or concept of intention than New Orleans.
00:01:52.799 --> 00:02:08.240
Because with all of these different modalities, hoodoo, voodoo, Catholicism, etc., each and every ritual as we know it is actually designed to create intention.
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:19.599
Intention is the magical power that we are all looking for when it comes to you know hermetic magic, when it comes to talking about God or the Holy Spirit.
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.560
This is all intention-based.
00:02:22.639 --> 00:02:25.599
It's all about the power of intention.
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:34.240
And all rituals are designed to do one thing, one specific thing, and that is to get the result that you would like through the power of intention.
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:43.919
Now, in the book Reality Trans Surfing, this really landed for me because the author, Vadim Zieland, says, I do not wish, I do not hope, I intend.
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:46.560
It's not about desire.
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:57.120
It's not about trying to grind or force the world to react to you, because those things in themselves don't do anything but create resistance.
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:00.800
The more you desire something, the more you're actually pushing it away.
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:07.840
And I know you know this is true because that crush that you had or that thing you wanted, oh, so bad, that it was like the biggest deal.
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.159
And if you didn't get it, then oh, right?
00:03:10.319 --> 00:03:11.759
Like you were so upset.
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:18.080
Well, that's because you desired it so much that if you chase anything, what does it do?
00:03:18.240 --> 00:03:20.800
Like instinctually, it just runs away, right?
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:22.000
The universe is no different.
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:23.840
These are natural laws that we're dealing with.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.039
You didn't intend.
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.120
Now, if you've ever truly intended for something, you know what that's like.
00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:33.599
That's just simply knowing that it's yours and going to get it.
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:42.960
It could be as simple as going to the refrigerator and grabbing a sandwich, walk into the mailbox to get your mail, walk into the newspaper stand to get a newspaper.
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.199
Those are very simple examples.
00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:53.280
And oftentimes we have that experience with other things in our lives where it's just like, I just know that I know, I'm just gonna go get it, I'm just gonna have the thing.
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.879
It's mine, I deserve it.
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.000
There's no resistance there, there's no stress about it.
00:03:58.159 --> 00:04:03.360
Our system isn't fighting against it, we just know that it's ours and we can go and have it.
00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:04.639
And that's what intention is.
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:14.960
And so every magical ritual or every you know religious tradition is basically aimed at getting intention to come out.
00:04:15.199 --> 00:04:20.079
Now, what's different in reality transserving is we don't actually need a ritual here.
00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:34.399
So I like to say that reality transserving is like magic without a cape because we don't need to order a wand off of Amazon or prance around in our living room late at night chanting incantations.
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:35.839
Nothing wrong with that.
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:41.439
Do your voodoo, do your weird shit, dress up however you want, put antlers on.
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:42.639
I don't care.
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:48.399
Look, for me, it's just about getting the result, getting the thing that I want, right?
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:51.920
Like my heart wants a specific thing, it wants an experience.
00:04:52.079 --> 00:04:57.600
That's why it incarnated into this reality that we all share.
00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:00.560
It wants a human experience, it's a spirit.
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:11.920
Now, we also have a mind, and the mind has its own agenda, and essentially its agenda is survive, stay alive, find ways to stay alive here on this plane.
00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:20.560
So you've got this heart that's like, I don't care, I know everything is basically temporal, and I only get this one shot at this experience, and I'm not afraid of death.
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:25.759
Whereas the mind, its only concern is not dying and staying alive and surviving.
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.199
So you've got these two elements that are part of you.
00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:35.120
That's how you're made up, and they're basically either working together or they're fighting against each other, right?
00:05:35.279 --> 00:05:38.720
They're already like one wants this experience and it's willing to take the risk.
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:41.680
The other is like, don't do it, we might die.
00:05:41.839 --> 00:06:05.519
And they both have legitimacy, but basically, all these rituals are doing, all these traditions are doing, are putting together a set of scenarios through, you know, scribbling down a symbol, through chaos magic, or through praying to a certain angel or a certain deity or whatever, in order to create this idea of intention.
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:25.120
So if you've ever studied any magic, you know you have to like create the thing, you know, you make it through alchemy or through masculine and feminine dynamics or even sex magic, where you create the thing and then you kind of forget about it, and then it you kind of let it go away, you drop importance or you let go of it, right?
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:27.360
And then it comes to you.
00:06:27.600 --> 00:06:42.800
So this is exactly the same process that we're talking about in reality transferring, but instead, you don't need any rituals, you don't need any particular things to do, like this dance or this movement or this prayer or any of that.
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:44.560
You don't need any of those things.
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:46.319
You just use intention itself.
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:47.519
Now, what is intention?
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:48.639
So glad you asked.
00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:52.800
Now, intention isn't wanting, it's not desiring, it's not manifesting.
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.360
Okay, intention is choosing.
00:06:55.519 --> 00:07:02.720
Intention is when your heart and mind align together, it creates the power of intention.
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:13.120
Once your heart and mind can agree, you know, you get the mind out of survival mode and you get the heart, you know, agreeing with the mind, like, hey, we can work this thing together, we can have the thing that we want.
00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:14.720
Here's how we can do it.
00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:22.560
Then all of a sudden, you come online as a creator and you begin to choose exactly what it is that you want to have happen in the world.
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:30.160
And then that power of intention starts to basically move through you, and you choose what it is that you want to have happen.
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:36.480
You don't desire it, you don't sit back, you don't do a bunch of visualizations, you don't do a bunch of affirmations, you don't need to do any of those things.
00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.720
You just go and do the thing.
00:07:38.959 --> 00:07:43.279
So there's no longer any real resistance to it.
00:07:43.439 --> 00:07:51.600
You drop all that resistance, and most of it is in the form of importance, making a big deal out of something when it's really not.
00:07:51.759 --> 00:07:54.000
Look, you're on the same level as everything.
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.519
Everything has the same significance in existence.
00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:05.360
We just put things on a pedestal, you put it on a pedestal, it's now very hard to reach, it's impossible, it's elusive, you chase it, it runs.
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:18.160
But once you have intention and not desire anymore, that is when you are able to just put one foot in front of the other and start stepping your way to that which you seek, what your heart wants.
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:23.120
And what challenges your mind, it makes your mind rub its hands with glee.
00:08:23.519 --> 00:08:35.039
And so we don't necessarily need a voodoo doll or you know, a napkin to scribble something on, or a bunch of words that we have to say backwards in a certain order.
00:08:35.279 --> 00:08:40.399
No, no, we just need to be in alignment with that which we really want.
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:48.720
And so most of the manifestation stuff out there is just like teaching you how to wish for things, teaching you to get stuff, right?
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.000
We've basically commodified and consumerized spirituality in the West.
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:56.960
Whoever saw that coming, right?
00:08:57.120 --> 00:09:09.519
It's literally become like Walmart for spirituality, where you're just like, I'm gonna get a Porsche, and I'm gonna get a this, and I'm gonna get a lover, and I'm gonna get my soulmate, and I'm gonna get, get, get, get, get, get, get.
00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:14.559
A friend of mine, when I was learning Spanish in Peru, told me that in English we only have one word, and it's get.
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:16.559
And that hit me like a ton of bricks.
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:18.480
I think he's made a really good point.
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:19.679
This is how we think.
00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:20.799
We think we gotta get stuff.
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:33.360
Now, here's the thing: if you're in alignment with yourself, then you'll begin to naturally want and draw the things toward you that are naturally for you, that fit the shape of your soul, that fit who you are.
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:39.519
You're no longer trying to fight and claw your way to try to get something from the universe.
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:46.559
Instead, you simply go and take what is in belonging to you that actually fits.
00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:53.039
So it's no longer about trying to, you know, capture stuff or material objects.
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.759
Like that's not what manifestation is about, anyway.
00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:12.639
Manifestation or materialization, as I like to call it, is really about choosing the thing that is most suited to you, that fits your personality, your essence, your expression, that's really what the point is.
00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:17.360
Because if you have things that are not in alignment with you, they're not really going to serve you anyway.
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:18.879
It's really for somebody else.
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.559
So when it comes to intention, intention's like a gas pedal, okay?
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:27.279
And our goals, what it is that we want, that's like the steering wheel.
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:32.960
So very often we have plenty of intention, we're just steering to something that doesn't really belong to us.
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.159
It's not on our trajectory, it's not on our course.
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:42.639
So I want to talk about real quick how intention works and what we're doing to cap it, okay?
00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.720
So, first of all, we're not finding a proper goal to intend for.
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.159
It's not something that's suited to us.
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:57.120
It's something that we saw that was shiny, saw that was flashy, saw that someone else had, and now all of a sudden we think we need it or deserve it just because they have it.
00:10:57.279 --> 00:10:59.200
Well, that's not your goal, homie.
00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:01.039
That's not for you, right?
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:07.759
When I used to go shopping with my mom, when we would find something that was just suited perfectly for me, she would say, That's karma clothes.
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:09.759
That's karma clothes for you, right?
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:16.799
And so we all have that style, that thing that really fits us, that looks good on us, we feel good in, right?
00:11:17.039 --> 00:11:20.960
Like that's something that is a very common experience, right?
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:26.320
And so if we think about the simple example of shopping, the same thing is true when it comes to our goal.
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:36.720
There's a goal out there specifically geared toward you, that your soul will just absolutely dance about once you identify that thing.
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.799
From there, that means your steering wheel is locked on to the right thing.
00:11:40.879 --> 00:11:42.480
You're going in the right direction.
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:43.919
Now you need what?
00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:46.000
Not desire, intention.
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:49.440
I don't wish, I don't hope, I intend.
00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:51.919
Well, that intention is the gas pedal.
00:11:52.159 --> 00:12:03.600
That is the energy and motion, thoughts, actions, and emotions in alignment toward that thing that is just for you.
00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:10.240
So you put that gas down, heart and mind aligned on the goal, gas down, boom, we're going.
00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:14.000
Now, here's the thing that gets in the way very often, it caps us.
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:18.320
And that is when there's one foot on the gas and one foot on the brake.
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:24.720
So there's two intentions here, or an intention and a counterintention that can really get in our way.
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:34.320
And I want to talk about this real quick just to note it, because I think you'll start to see where you are fighting yourself and getting in your own way with this analogy.
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:41.919
So you identify the thing that you want, you really do want that, it really is for you, and then you're like, all right, I'm going for it using my intention.
00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:46.720
What often happens though is you start to think about what it is that you don't want.
00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:51.039
Once again, our brain is trying to survive all the time.
00:12:51.200 --> 00:12:53.679
It wants to be okay, it wants to be safe.
00:12:53.840 --> 00:13:01.519
So all the people around us and all the judgments and all the things that somebody else might say or think start to get in the way, and those become counterintentions.
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:03.519
So the heart's like, yes, I want it.
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.200
The mind's like, yeah, but I don't want this and I don't want that.
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:15.679
So we have one foot on the gas, one foot on the brake, and so we're really not going full steam ahead to our goal.
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:52.639
So once you can start to identify those blocks, they're all coming from your mind, by the way, they're all pendulums, they're all things that are basically stealing your energy from your own authenticity or your awareness from who you truly are, then you can begin to let that foot off the brake, push down on the gas all the way fully, be yourself, be a thousand percent authentically you, aligned, heart, mind aligned, and then going toward that goal, full steam ahead, knowing that it's yours, nothing can stop you, and there's no resistance, there's no tension in your system.
00:13:52.799 --> 00:14:04.320
You just know that you know that it's yours, you feel comfortable with it, it belongs to you, it's your karma clothes, you put it on, you walk to the fridge and make a sandwich.
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.559
You walk to the mailbox, you get the mail.
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:13.440
So I just wanted to talk a little bit about the mysterious and magical power of intention here in New Orleans.
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:15.200
