Hello with your buddy. How are you feeling out there? Did you wake up this morning and look in the mirror and say something like, man, you're a good looking. You're a good looking son of a gun. Did you ever do you wake up and you're looking to a mirror in your life, your hands know your handsome, you know, your hands. And I know you're a handsome, ah, I like to do this sometimes. Is that weird? Probably, but you know what? I love it. You should try it. It's awesome for the ladies' you might want to go with beautiful because you know, you can be handsome, but I prefer my women. Beautiful. Well, I hope that you guys are having a great day. I thought I start off today with a little bit of a story. Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved. Another one soon followed her father. A chef took her into the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he plays potatoes and one in the second and ground coffee beans in the third, he then let them sit and boil without saying a word to his daughter, the daughter moaned and impatiently waited. Wondering what the heck she was doing. After 20 minutes, he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot, placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup, turning to his daughter. He asked daughter, what do you see? The daughter replied, potatoes, eggs and coffee for a hastily look closer. He said and touch the potatoes she did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed be hard boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. It's rich aroma brought a smile on her face. Father. What, what does this all mean? She asked, he then explained that the potatoes, the eggs and coffee beans had each faced the same adversity, the boiling water. However, each one reacted differently. The potato went in strong, hard and unrelenting, but in boiling water, it became soft and weak. The egg was fragile with the thin outer shell protecting its liquid interior until it was put in the boiling water. Then the inside of the egg became hard. However, the ground coffee beans, where unique after they were exposed to the boiling water, they changed the water and created something new. Which one are you? He asked his daughter pretty interesting, right? When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Or are you a potato and EG or a coffee bean? You think the moral of this story is that in life things happen around us. Things happen to us. But the only thing that truly matters is how you choose to react to it. And what you make out of it, life is all about learning, adopting, and converting all the struggles that we experience into something positive to some of the best advice I ever got was that in life you can not control what happens to you, but you and you alone gets to control the meaning of that event. So think about that for a moment. I think it can change the way you are processing information. And I think it has the ability if you remember that story. And if you remember that last piece I just gave you when you get in a tight spot, I do remember that you can't control what happens, but you can control the meeting of it and it can fundamentally shift the way you feel about your day. Try it. If you get a chance, let us now jump into, excuse me. Let's just jump back in is a Marshall McLuhan. Hear, you know, he's going to get into the way we process information. He is going to be talking about the transformation of our society. The way the mediums have changed us. And by a medium, I mean, we've gone from reading and listening to watching. I said, previously the documentaries or the new books, we talked a little bit briefly about how that particular, medium, powerful medium of video. It kind of just leapfrogs the critical thinking. And it goes right into your head, right, right. Through the eyes. So the ocular nerves, and there you go, there's your idea. Nice, neat, and package for you. So you don't even have to think about it. And we know that certain people, other people, different groups of people, they like different things. We know that when, when we look at advertising, where do they have target demographics? So the people putting out the message, you know, exactly which group is going to consume their message, that they can tailor, make

It's just another manic Monday. I remember that song. So in my age HHA, I was like, I thought that was a Suzanne Vega. Remember that walk like in Egypt who was just another manic. Oh, that was out of the song they have. Hey, you guys do it today. You feel it. All right. I'm feeling pretty good myself. I'm hopeful that the rays of sunshine are basking you and they're golden glow providing you with a source of vitamin D and vital energy to kitchen up and moving on and put a smile on your face. Hope we have a great weekend and I hope you're enjoying the TrueLife podcast. We just went through the works or some works of the master storyteller, Joseph Campbell, who taught us about myth. He taught us to look to the past so that we could see where our future lies. We are about to get into Mr. Marshall McLuhan spotlight on the loss of Marshall McLuhan. My friend's, this is a great segue. We are going to go from the past, into the future. Hopefully we can apply what we have learned from mr. Joseph Campbell, to where we're going. I'm going to try and tie it together. What I think you will find what I hope you will see. What I am trying to convey is the circular pathway that we are taking. You see mr. Marshall McLuhan things. And let me be clear. Mr. Marshall McLuhan was a philosopher in the late seventies, early eighties. He had some very fascinating ideas about where we are headed. According to Marshall McLuhan, the medium is the message. What we mean by that is the medium. Be it a TV, be a radio, be a print and books, linear print. Platform's wherever it in, whatever medium you you use to digest you're information. Change is the way you think we process information from different senses and different parts of the brain. It's incredibly important to understand that mechanism of action, how it changes the way we think, how it opens up to us, a new field of vision, or it narrows our field of vision. You may have seen my video on my YouTube channel called the penny test. For those of you that are unaware of the penny test, I will run you through it quickly. Imagine taking a penny and you set it on your table and then you stand up and you look down at that penny. You can see from looking directly above it, that it's circular. It has engravings on it. It has a little design, a precedent. It has some words written on it. Some numbers written on it. You can also see that it has a bit of thickness to it. You can see the, the markings, the color, the texture. You can see all of these things when you stand up and look down at the penny from that point of view. However, if you slowly bend down, you bend your knees and then you, you bring your eyes to the level of the table. And you look at that same Penney in the same position and your at eye level with a penny. What you will see as a straight line. It's a good experiment to try with your kid's. It's a good experiment to try for yourself. And what this experiment shows is that when we change our point of view, when we change how we are given the information, the very same object becomes almost uninterpretable. It can lead to incredible abstract thoughts. When in fact the first view, it was a circle. We saw texture. We saw engravings, we saw all of the textual. We saw this size, the shape. However, when you get down at eye level and you really look at it, eye level, you will see a straight line. You will no longer see the penny as you know it, but you will see a straight line. According to Marshall McLuhan. This is exactly what's happened to our society. When you look back at the Renaissance and he saw all these great sculptures, it was great. This incredible verse that was written, that made you feel that helped you to envision the peanut a picture in your mind, wi in the Western society, you are currently unable to recreate that because of inventions like the printing press, because we have decided to utilize linear print, linear print Leeds, to linear thinking. He goes on to talk about hot and cold mediums. A hot medium is a medium in which the vision gets put in your head for you without any critical thinking. Think of YouTube, think of television, think of movies. You don't necessarily need to do any critical thinking. The idea has been put there for you. You do not need to think critically the motive, the idea, the lesson, it's there for you in a digestible format. However, when you read a book, when you listen to the radio, now you have to come up with the mental picture yourself. You're not given the mental picture. It's not shot into your, into your ocular membranes and then implanted in your head. The problem with that type of media in the problem with the hot media is that it leads people into very narrow points of view. And that's

Speaker 1 (22s): I love you guys. What better way to start off the day than with a positive, beautiful message. You know what that message is? What is your message? My message to you is that this is where you're supposed to be. I know sometimes it doesn't seem like it. I know sometimes you feel, or you think what the hell is going on. Why does this always happen to me? Well, it doesn't always happen. But if you asked a stupid question, where do you get? You know what you get, look, here's what you gotta know right now. You are probably influencing people that you don't even know right now. You could be making changes in the lives of people that could be eternally grateful for you. Maybe you're doing something right now. Maybe you're setting an example or your paving a road or your beginning of a project. Something that's going to inspire someone later down the line. What's important to understand is that your doing what your supposed to be doing? I know it's weird to think about. I know it's difficult to think about, however, understand that life has a plan for you understand. There's a bigger picture, understand that you are the way you know yourself now is not how the way you now know yourself is not the final form of you're being hi. Got it. It took me awhile to think about that. I got a little tongue tied there, so excuse my, my little bit of a rant. However, I just couldn't seem to figure out that little part, understand that who you are now is not the final form of who you will be. It's powerful. It's powerful. Welcome back, everybody. Welcome back to the true life philosophy podcast. I guess what? I got good news. I'm on the Amazon music. Now, if you're just searched true life, all capitals where you search my name, George Monte on Amazon music. Cow will be right there. And if you leave comments, then you'll be right there with me. And just so you know, you're always there with me. I keep you right here, right? Your next to my heart. Cause I love you. Alright. I know. What's your thinking. Hey, we take it easy. What? The mushy stuff, George, we got to get all mushy on me now. Right? All right. All right. All right. I'm with you. Let's talk more about life Journey and the hero's journey, your journey. I think we left off yesterday with the idea that all life is suffering. That's what the Buddha said. And so let us jump right back in with both feet and talk to our spiritual guide are our mythological narrator, mr. Joseph Campbell. So mr. Campbell, mr. Campbell, what can you tell us about the young person who says I didn't choose to be born? My mother and father made that choice for me. You can't pick your parents. Joseph Campbell Freud tells us to blame our parents' for all of the shortcomings of our life. And Mark's tells us to blame the upperclass of our society. But the only one to blame is oneself. That's the helpful thing about the Indian idea of karma is your life is the fruit of your own doing. You have no one to blame but yourself, but what about chance? A drunken driver turns the corner and hit you pal. That isn't your fault. You haven't done that to yourself. Joseph Campbell, from that point of view, is there anything in your life that did not occur as by a chance, there is a matter of being able to accept chance. The ultimate backing of life is chance. The chance that your parents met, for example, chance, or what might seem to be chance is the means through which life is realized. The problem is not to blame or explain, but to handle the life that arises. Another war has been declared somewhere and you were drafted into an army and there go five or six years of your life with a whole new set of chance events. The best advice is to take it all as if it had been your intention with that, you evoke the participation of your will in all these journeys with mythology, there's a place where everyone wishes to find out the Buddhists talk have Nirvana. And Jesus talks as a piece of the mansion with many rooms is that typical of the hero's journey, that there's a place to find Joseph Campbell, the place to find is within yourself. I learned a little about this in athletics. The athlete who is in top form has a quiet place with in himself. And it's around this somehow that is action occurs. If he's all out there and in the action field, he will not be performing properly. My wife as a dancer, and she tells me that this is true in dance as well. There's a center of quietness within which has to be known and held. If you lose that Centre, your intention and begin to fall apart. The Buddhist Nirvana is a center of peace. Have this kind of Buddhism is a psychological religion. It starts with the psychological problem of suffering. All life is sorrowful. There is however, an escape from

Look at people and intelligent forces of nature. I was so happy. You're back. I am digging this Joseph Campbell. I'm trying to really integrate some of these mythological journeys into my life. It's easy to do. Once you begin to understand the hero's journey. Once you began to understand the power of myth, you can really integrate into your life. And I think you can make your life as well as the life of the people around you. Better. Speaker 0 (2m 47s): Interesting and enjoyable. Let's jump right in here. Speaker 1 (2m 55s): The question will begin with, to mr. Campbell is given you know about human beings. Is it conceivable that there is a part of wisdom beyond the conflicts of truth and illusion by which our lives can be put back together again? Can we develop new models, Joseph Campbell, they are already here in the religions. All religions have been true for their time. If you can recognize the enduring aspect of their truth and separate it from the temporal applications, you've got it. We have spoken about it right here, the sacrifice of physical desires and fears of the body to that, which spiritually supports the body is the body learning to know and express its own deepest life in the field of time. One way or another. We all have to find what the best Foster's the flowing of our humanity in this contemporary life and dedicate ourselves to that. Not the first Cause, but a higher Cause Joseph Campbell. I would say a more inward Cause hire is just up there and there is no up there. We know that that old man up there has been blown away. You've got to find the force inside you. This is why Oriental gurus are so convincing. Two young people today, they say is in you go in and find it. But isn't it only the very few who can face the challenge of a new truth and put their lives and a quarter with it. Joseph Campbell, no, not at all. A few, maybe the teacher's and the leader, but this is something that anybody can respond to just as anybody has the potential to run out, to save a child. It is within Everybody to recognize value's in his life that are not confined to maintenance of the body and economic concerns of the day. When I was a boy and red Knights of the round table, that myth stirred me to think that I could be a Hero. I wanted to go out and do battle with dragons. I wanted to go into the dark forest and slate evil. What does it say to you that myths can because the son of an Oklahoma farmer to think of himself as a Hero Joseph Campbell myths inspire the realization of the possibility of your perfection, the fullness of your strength and the bringing of solar light into the world. Slaying monsters is slaying the dark thing. Myths, grab you somewhere down inside as a boy, you go at it one way. As I did reading my Indian stories later on myths, tell you more and more and still more. I think that anyone who has ever dealt seriously with religious or mythic ideas will tell you that we learned them as a child on one level, but then many different levels are revealed. Myths are infinite in the revelation. How do I slay that dragon in MI what's the journey. Each of us has to make what you call the soul's high adventure. Joseph Campbell, my general formula for my students is follow your bliss, find where it is, and don't be afraid to follow it. Is it my work or my life Joseph Campbell. If the work that you are doing is the word that you chose to do because you are enjoying it. That's it. But if you think, Oh no, I couldn't do that. That's the dragon locking you in? No, No I couldn't be a writer or no, no, I couldn't possibly do what so-and-so was doing in this sense. Unlike heroes, such as Prometheus's or Jesus, we're not going on our journey to save the world, but to save ourselves Joseph Campbell. But in doing that, you saved the world, the influence of a vital person. Vitali

It's so nice to see you, at least as nice to close my eyes and imagine that you guys are having a good day. I love you are welcome back in the podcast. You know, we are doing today. Do you guys know what we're doing today? We're moving back to an old classic, a little spot law it on to law school with Joseph Campbell, we were working on what it means to be a hero. Well, working on the heroes journey. Everybody are you on that? Journey if you're listening to this, you've probably on that journey. Lets face it. You have probably already hero. I mean, if were being honest with ourselves, you guys are probably thinking, you know what? George you're a hero podcast is a hero. C'mon let me do it. This guy that sounds kind of creepy. Might have to turn this thing off. Don't do that. Don't turn it off and done being crazy at at least for a minute or two truth is we're going to get into some Heroes stuff. Right? What is a hero? Here's a quote from mr. Dr. Martin Luther King jr. For 1963. A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. How about this idea of a hero Otto rank declares that everyone is a hero in birth or he undergoes a tremendous transformation from the condition of a little water creature, living in a realm of amniotic fluid, into an air breathing mammal, which ultimately will be standing. How about a woman who gives birth giving birth has definitely a heroic Dede in that it is the giving over of oneself to the life of another. How about the old Prometheus's? The fire theft is a universal mythic theme. Promethium brings fire to mankind and consequently civilization. There is a one of my favorite books by a Miguel Servantez. Does anyone really think Miguel Servon wrote donkey Hodie in the 12 hundreds. I have Speaker 1 (3m 0s): You guys read that book. It reads like it was written today. Something going on there, Don Quixote rode out to encounter giants, but instead of giants, his environment produced windmills. This mechanistic environment is no longer spiritually responsive to the hero, but Don Quixote was a hero. Nonetheless. How about Daedalus and Icarus people talk more about Icarus than about Daedalus as though the wings themselves had been responsible for the young astronauts fall, but that is no case against industry in science. Poor Icarus fell under the water, but Daedalus who flew the middle way. Succeeded in getting to the other shore. Moses Moses is a sens, the mountain he meets with Yar away on the summit and he comes back with rules for formation, have a whole society. That That is a typical hero act departure, fulfillment returned. How about the Buddha? The Buddha follows the path very much like That of Christ only of course the Buddha lived 500 years earlier. You know, you can match these two, save your figure's right down the line, even to the role and characters of their immediate disciples. Do you guys know that? Where do you think so far? You've got some Heroes that you're thinking of. You got somebody in your life. That's a hero. I think it was Plato who said the soul is a circle. I drew a horizontal line across the circle to represent the line of separation of the conscious and the unconscious, the.in the center of the circle below the horizontal line represents the center from which all our energy comes above. The horizontal line is the ego represented as a square. That aspect of our consciousness that we identify as our center, but it's very off center. We think this is what is running the show, but it isn't so good. Speaker 2 (5m 19s): Is this new escape don't make me destroy yourself to the dark side. Speaker 1 (5m 27s): What about Darth Vader? What do you guys think is Darth Vader or a hero or is Luke Skywalker? The hero? Are they both are heroes? What do you think? Okay my friends without any further ado, let's get into this idea of the hero's journey, the hero's adventure with Joseph Campbell. So mr. Joseph Campbell, why are there so many stories of the hero in mythology, Joseph Campbell, because that's, what's worth writing about even in popular novels, the main character is a hero or heroine who has found or done something beyond the normal range of achievement and experience. A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. So in all of these cultures, whatever the local costumed, the hero might be waring, what is the deed with Joseph Campbell? Well there are two types of deed. One is the physical Dede in which the hero performs a courageous act in battle or saves a life. The other kind is the spiritual Dede in which the hero learns to experience the super normal range of human spiritual life. And then comes back with a message. The usual hero adventu

I'm so excited for today. You have a wake up and just feel phenomenal if you don't do it tomorrow, just do it. Wake up. You know what you know, the trick is when you go to bed, tell yourself when I wake up in the morning, I'm a fool. I'm going to feel amazing. When I wake up in the more I'm going to feel amazing. Say that to yourself, 10 times every night. And I bet you start waking up feeling amazing. Try it. Those guys George is crazy. You can't just say it and do it. Why not just try it? What are you got to lose? What are you going to lose? That's kind of like that same thing, you know, I've always been able to, and some of you, you can probably do this too, are you probably knew people that can. And if you know people that can and I can do what that means, you can do it. You know what it is. If you just tell yourself, like, give her, have to like wake up for any event and you were afraid like, Oh no, I'll set my alarm, but it was a tool arm. So I wake up on time. Instead of doing all that, just tell yourself I got to wake up at six. I gotta wake up at four 30. I got to wake up at four 30. Tell that to yourself a hundred times before you go to bed. And I guarantee you, you wake up at four 30, you just trying to mix and match it with I'm going to wake up early and feel amazing to see what happens, test it out. Why not give it a try? Works for me. I want to talk today about this ongoing idea I have about the next Dimension of Language. I got some really deep insights with some spiritual teachers a while back, like two weeks ago, just had this long session of deep thinking. And I want to share with you what I came up with. The first thing I came up with is I'm sure all of you have heard or read or thought about living your life as a novel. You all are the main character in your novel, or if you're not the main character or maybe your a supporting character. But if that's the case, I hope that you worked with him was becoming the protagonist and is easy to its. I have found that it's easier to make changes in your life. If sometimes you can zoom out and look at it from a third, a third person perspective. And the idea of living in a novel is the idea that has helped me do that. So think of yourself as a character on a novel and your trying to get the attention of the author. You want a bigger part. So you start doing things in the novel to get their attention. Maybe you start doing some heroic deeds. Maybe you were a supporting character. However, all of a sudden, all of these heroic deeds can not be ignored. And now the author must give you a bigger role. What's that old pique Floyd saying that says, don't trade a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage. If your, if you feel you've been sequestered to the realm of supporting actor or supporting antagonist or a protagonist or a minor character to start doing some things that the author cannot avoid. Seeing you start doing some things that are going to force you to get the lead role. Now, the insight I had, I had to set it up with that. I had it try to live it every day as if it is the last page of the greatest. Well you've ever written are you've ever read. You are not at the end, have a novel. Sometimes you will be like, Oh, I never saw that coming. Or, Oh my gosh, this, this had everything. I can't wait. I can't. When you do to the last page and see what happens when looking at your life, not only as that novel, but every day as the last page of a group novel. And then you can start thinking about, wow, I bet your right around the corner. Something amazing is about to happen.

Thursday Speaker 1 (19s): It's Thursday where does the time go? Well, it flies when you're having fun. Time flies, time drags, I guess it depends on how you define time. Are you having the time of your life? What time? What do you mean by the time of my life at the time? Are you having a good time? Well, not having a bad time. Who's time. Is it? If I'm hear in your hair, it does that make it our time. Remember that line from fast times at Ridgemont high, when Jeff Spicoli orders that pizza, the teacher gets all mad and he's like, how dare you order this pizza on my time? And Jeff Spicoli says, well, if you're here and I'm here, does that make it our time? Nothing wrong with a little pizza on our time. Amazing how that is. Isn't it. When the smartest kid in, when the smartest kid in school in the seventies was a stoner surfer, the only one thinking critically and they make him out to be the dummy. Amazing. It's a good segue. It's a good segue into something I've been thinking about lately. And that is the art of subversion. You know what that is? You can call it Deanna fighting without fighting. A lot of times we hear things like, Oh, that was very subversive. Or we hear about subversive tactics. Oh yes. My friend subversion subversion is a subtle way of making radical change. Proud of what I've created. It was radical. It does that make sense? If you want to create change a radical change, a radical change, you can be proud of proud of what I'm creating. It was radical is the best way to do that is like the boiling frog. Don't get me wrong. If you wanted to do radical change and you have the means, you have coercive power. You could bring in a military, Assassinate the leader in change the country that can happen. And it does happen all the time. However, when you think of subversion, I want you to think of martial arts. Think about if someone much bigger than you is going to throw a punch and they're you are, and there's this giant of a man are this giant, have a woman and their getting ready to punch you right in the face. If your a small person, you can't absorb to many of those blows out, but what you could do, if you trained hard, you could be conscious of the type of punch they're going to throw. And when they throw that punch, you could lean back out of the way. And then as they go to punch you, as hard as they can, you lean back and you grab their arm and you pull their arm in the direction in which they are punching you, help them throw that punch. And that will use their momentum against them. I remember once when I was a young man and I was wrestling, I went and I wrestled this giant of a man who was probably 20 pounds heavier than me. And he was just, he looks like one big, giant muscle. And because I had wrestled for so long, I knew that this guy relied on his strength. And so we were wrestling and I you tie up and you and I pushed into him really quick, as hard as I could. I had my hand on his head and is hand on his right arm, were all tied up. And I shoved all my weight quickly into him. And what the laws of nature say, what for every action, there's a reaction. And, and as I pushed him, he pushed back as hard as he could. And, and that moment snap, I threw him right over on my shoulders, just a head in arm. I used his momentum to throw him over my body, that same tactic of a quick setup, and then using momentum against a larger enemy is the methodology of subversion that I want to talk about. Now, if you look around our country, if you look at what's happening, you can see the years of subversion flowering. What you're seeing on the streets today is not something that's happened or is the result of something that's happened over the last four years or eight years. It's more likely the result of something that's happened over the last 20 years or 30 years. Speaker 0 (5m 58s): You see the very foundation of subversion comes from undermining. That cohesiveness the values that keep a community together. Let me give you an example of, of what I'm talking about, which one have you elected CNN, which is one of you are elected Fox news, which is one of you elected or any of the media to be the people in charge of informing us, which one of you elected the New York times? Which one of you elected Walter Cronkite? Which one have you elected Pierce Morgan, Ben Shapiro, Rachel Maddow, Tucker Carlson.

My friends. Welcome back everybody. Hey, Hey, you know what? I love you, right? I got a good story for you today. This my friends is the story of truck drivers stain. Have you ever heard of truck drivers and I'll bet I'll wager the answer's no, no one has no one knows about it, but I know, you know how I know about it. I am the rightful heir to the throne of truck drivers. Dan, at least I was see, I abdicated my position. I know what you're thinking. Why would you leave such a amazing world of royalty George? Why would you do that? Well, let me tell you some stories about truck drivers, Stan, it's a magical mythical monster. His place, not a lot of people know about it's whereabouts. It's very difficult to find you see truck drivers. Stan is located inside an Indian reservation. Yeah. Yeah. It was built on the land of the Indian reservation, a certain Indian reservation in Southern California prior to any of the casinos being built for some of you that may be hard to believe. But for those of us who know, we know the truth truck drivers, Dan is an area where a young boy goes to be educated in the ways of the trucker, the ways of life, the education of a truck driver. You see, my grandfather was the King of truck drivers day. And as a young boy growing up in the kingdom, I was given the keys to the kingdom. The doors were open for me many days, five days a week, I would go to the kingdom and I would ride in the truck, driving cheery it's of my uncles and the leaders and the politicians of truck drivers. Stan, I would go on the road for hours with these men and learn their ways. And it's now that I'm going to begin telling you some stories about those days. You see there were many men Speaker 1 (3m 32s): Desk Speaker 0 (3m 33s): In truck drivers stand many hunters, many wise men. They taught me the ways of old, the ways of social engineering, those around us, the ways of influencing without those people, understanding how they're being influenced. Let me give you a few examples of my days of education in truck drivers stand see for those of us who drive big trucks, small trucks, for those of us who drive on the highways on the byways, the central nervous system of the body of the populace. You see we at truck drivers standard like the white blood cells. Let me give you a particular story of when I began to learn some of the ways of the leaders of truck drivers. Dan, I must've been six years old when I began to learn how commerce was done in truck drivers, Stan, and as it is instruct drivers stand as it is in the world. For those of you that drive truck, there's a thing called scales, that when you move through the connected Heartland, the highways and byways and roadways and pathways of America, there's certain laws. You gotta follow. If you drive a truck, you have to go through scales and checkpoints at times where your load will be checked, your books will be checked and you will be weighed. You may even, you may even be drug tested as a young man. I remember going through the scales and as we would go through the scales, one of the young warriors of truck drivers, Stan, that was teaching me that day and multiple days to be exact. The lesson he taught me was that of misdirection was that of social engineering. And I want to tell you what we did when going through the scales in a big rig, in a truck it's important to know whom is going to be doing the investigating. It can be easily done. If you pay attention, you see in the regular world, people work usually Monday through Friday, or they will have Tuesday through Saturday, or they have a set schedule. And if you are a Hunter or if you are a mentor from truck drivers, and then you will know the schedule of the people that the scales, it's very similar to understanding your environment. In the old days, when hunters and gatherers would go, they would know where the Buffalo were. They would know where the deer were. They would know where to go and collect fresh berries because they paid attention to the environment. This is what the first lessons taught to me. It's imperative to know who's going to be doing the searching. For example, one of my uncles taught me, George, when we go through this Gail's what do we do? And I says, well, we give them, we show them the books. And he says, that's right. Which books do we show them? I said, we show them the blue book. He says, that's right. Why can we show them the blue book? I says, the blue book has the information that they want to see. And he s

George. Speaker 1 (18s): Welcome back everybody. You guys doing? You have a good weekend. Have a good morning. Do you have a good night last night? What you guys got going on? Got a good week ahead of you. You looking forward to something. I once heard that the secret to life is having someone to love something to look forward to and something to do. Do you have all three of those things? If you got all three of those things, you should be pretty balanced. I hope you're balanced. I gotta tell ya. I'm really excited to be here with you guys today. I also got to tell you super thankful for you taking a few moments to hang out with me. I love you guys, and I appreciate it. I've been doing quite a bit of thinking. We did a pretty good series on Terrence McKenna and the archaic revival got a lot of great feedback from it. So I thought that I would stay on a similar pathway. The pathway I've been thinking about is a lot like life's journey. In fact, it's the hero's journey brought to you by our good friend, Joseph Campbell. I've been reading a lot of Joseph Campbell lately and helps to expand your ideas of where we're going by reading the mythologies of yesterday, regardless of which culture any of us come from. The people that came before us had a rich symbolic history of storytelling. And some of those myths, I think are the key for us to move forward. It seems to me we've lost our way. It seems to me that a lot of us don't have the right direction. A lot of our leaders have lost their way. A lot of us have lost our way. I think that the way we can find our way back is to look to the past. I want to talk a little bit today about mythology, the behavior and conflict and where we are on that schedule. Maybe where you are on that schedule, how we can find our way back and how maybe you can find your own road back your own spiritual journey, by understanding and reading about the heroes of the past. We can find new heroes. The truth is we need a hero. And I think that hero resides within you. Speaker 0 (2m 49s): <inaudible> Speaker 2 (3m 3s): All right, let's get started. Speaker 1 (3m 4s): This is all inspired by a good friend, Joseph Campbell, and a lot of what we're going to talk about comes from the book, the power of men. So what is transcendence? Well, according to Campbell, transcendent is a technical philosophical term translated in two different ways. In Christian theology, it refers to God as being beyond or outside the field of nature. That is a materialistic way of talking about the transcendent because God is thought of as a kind of spiritual fact existing, somewhere out there, it was Hagle who spoke of our anthropomorphic God, as the gaseous vertebrate such an idea of God as many Christians hold, or he is thought of as a bearded old man with a not very pleasant temperament, but transcendent properly means that, which is beyond all concepts con tells us that all of our experiences are bounded by time and space. They take place within space and they take place in the course of time, time and space form. These sensibilities that bound our experiences. Our senses are enclosed in the field of time and space. And our minds are enclosed in a frame of the categories of thought. But the ultimate thing, which is no thing that we are trying to get in touch with is not so enclosed. We enclose it as we try to think of it. The transcendent transcends all of these categories of thinking, being, and non being. Those are categories, the word God properly refers to what transcends all thinking, but the word God itself is something thought about. Now you can personify God in many, many ways. Is there a one God are there many gods? Those are merely categories of thought what you are talking and trying to think about transcends all of that one problem with y'all way. As they used to say in the old Christian Gnostic texts is that he forgot he was a metaphor. He thought he was a fact. And when he said, I am God, a voice was heard to say, you are mistaken. Samuel Samuel means blind God blind to the infinite light of which he is a local historical manifestation. This is known as the blasphemy of Jehovah. And he thought he was God. Speaker 3 (5m 47s): By the time I was like three years old, I would have this dream that God has. Cause God knows everything is just super intelligent, omnipresent, unlimited dementia. But God doesn't know where Speaker 1 (5m 58s): To from. There's a wonderful story in one of you punish shots about the God Indra. Now it

Welcome to the podcast. So happy you're here. So there's these two members of a synagogue and they're having this terrible argument. And one of them says, do you stand for the repetition of the Amita? Or do you sit there arguing, screaming, just going at each other? No, you have to stand. No, you have to sit. Finally, they go and see the last surviving founder of the show. They say, mr. Burnbaum you have to solve this for us. Do you sit or do you stand? And they say, well, do you sit? And he looks at him and scratches his head. And he says, no, that's not the tradition. So we stand then. No, no, that's not the tradition. And I say, listen, mr. Bernbach, we are ready to start killing each other. And he says, yeah, yeah, that's the tradition. Speaker 0 (58s): <inaudible> Speaker 1 (1m 2s): Argumentation. My friends. Do you like to argue? You like to have critical conversations. How about a civil discourse? What about a debate? Everyone loves a debate. I love a good debate. You know how to have a good debate. You have to utilize good language. It's also important to realize in any argument, especially in argument with someone you love the purpose of an argument. Do you know what that is? I'll tell you the purpose of an argument to solve a problem. You know what I do? I forget that sometimes you ever do that, like right in the heat of an argument, instead of worrying about the issue, you decide that you must, when you decide you must have the last word, that song by Billy Joel, you had to be a big shot. Didn't you, you had to have the last word last night. You ever fall into that trap. You ever get goaded into that trap or someone slings and ad hominem attack at you and you fire back with one. And then all of a sudden, you're no longer even talking about the issue. You're just trying to hurt the other person that happens way too much and it doesn't solve anything. It makes things worse. I learned that way too late in life. So this series a podcast is going to be about argumentation, logical, fallacies, and how to create a better discourse in your home environment and work environment. And with people you love one key point. I want everyone to realize is that the way you speak to other people is usually the way you speak to yourself. Do you know what I mean by that, that voice in your head, that internal dialogue, all long we're thinking and what is thinking? Well, it's asking yourself questions. You may not talk to yourself and ask those questions out loud, but inside your mind's eye, inside your mind, your cognitive apparatus, you are asking, answering questions. You are navigating your way through life by asking those questions. And a lot of times our inner dialogue shapes our view of the world. That's why I say so often that the world is made of language. The language we use describes who we are and it describes the world. We see it's important to also remember, we can't go anywhere without a linguistic pathway. So logical fallacies are not only something that we use in our argumentation or our discussion with other people. They are the terms in which we define ourselves. One of the most important components of learning is academic discourse. It requires argumentation and debate, argumentation, and debate inevitably lend themselves to flawed reasoning and rhetorical errors. Many of these errors are considered logical. Fallacies, logical fallacies are common place in the classroom, in the workplace and in the home in formal televised debates and perhaps most rampantly on any number of internet forms, but what is a logical fallacy and just as important, how can you avoid making logical fallacies yourself regardless of where you are in life or what you're preparing for, whether you're on campus or in the workplace, it pays to know your logical fallacies. Let's lay out some of the most common fallacies you might encounter and that you should be aware of in your own discourse and debate. What exactly is a logical fallacy? A logical fallacy is an error in reasoning. Common enough to warrant a fancy name, knowing how to spot and identify fallacies is a priceless skill. It can save you time, money and personal dignity. There are two major categories of logical fallacies, which in turn break down into a wide range of types of fallacies each with their own unique ways of trying to trick you into agreement. Number one is a formal fallacy is a breakdown in how you say something. The ideas are somehow sequenced incorrectly. Their form is wrong.

Let me tell you something that ever tell you this story about when I was on the train, Speaker 0 (1m 22s): <inaudible> Speaker 1 (1m 25s): On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere. I met up with the gambler. We were both too tired to sleep. So we took turns of staring at the window at the dark boredom lit overtook us and he began to speak. He said, son, I have made a life out of reading people's faces and knowing what the cards will, by the way they held their eyes. So if you don't mind me saying, I can see that you are out of ACEs for a taste of your whiskey. I'll give you some advice. So I handed him my bottle. He drank down my last swallow, continued bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light. Speaker 0 (2m 13s): And then Speaker 1 (2m 15s): The night it got definitely quiet in his face, lost all expression. He said, if you're gonna play the game son, you got to learn to play it, right? You gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold them. You gotta know when to walk away when window run and window run. How's that for a little intro? Are you guys enjoying Speaker 0 (2m 41s): The spotlight on the loss of food? Cause we're still on Terence McKenna. Speaker 1 (2m 49s): I love this guy. The more in depth analysis, the deeper we go into the mind of McKenna, the better we will all be. However it's imperative to leave yourself a trail of breadcrumbs. So you don't get lost. Number old Hansel and Gretel got to find our way back out. We have to find our way out so that when we see our brothers and sisters who get lost, we can reach back, hold their hand and walk them back out. Some of us are strong. Some of us got to know when to hold them when to fold them. And when to walk away, I am having a blast. You guys, I really am. And I, I can't even tell you how beautiful and amazing I think you are. Thank you so much for just taking a moment to hang out with big George over here. You make me feel like the King of the world. I hope I make you feel like the King of the world or the queen of the world, because wherever you are, let me tell you what I know. However you think in wherever you are, life is what you make it. You choose to feel how you want to feel it. Field a little bit down, do this, just close your eyes, take in a deep breath and force yourself to smile and be like, you know what? My life might not be that good right now, but at least I'm handsome. My laugh might be, might be tricky, but at least I'm beautiful. There's people that love me. You're like, no, I don't know if there is George. Yes, there is. Yes, there is. There's me. I love you. I love you. All right. How about enough of my meandering thoughts filling up your day? How about enough of that? Why don't we dive in here to this, mr. McKenna coming at ya? This, my friends is from the new dimensions interview with Michael Tom's interview was taken place in 1985, man. Remember those days, the search for self knowledge has occupied humanity for millennia, assuming many different guises in our modern technical information culture. The deeper meaning is often overlooked as we race Helter Skelter toward an unknown end. Questions of values, ethics and personal meaning are repressed under the Holy banner of practicality and living in the real world. John Naisbitt, the author of mega trends points out that we are drowning in information, but starved for knowledge. Think about that. This was written in 1985 and this particular author was already talking about drowning in information and starving for knowledge. I would argue that that particular statement was not only visionary, but also more true today than it was then. And yet at the same time, one researcher has estimated that 80% of the public is involved in some aspect of self fulfillment. Another paradox to ponder since both may be true. The quest for liberation is a journey through paradox. And perhaps by noticing how other cultures and social media blues have incorporated the search, we can learn more about our own.

McKenna, you know him, I know him. We love him. Let us start off with a little bit of some of Terrence's thoughts here. We'll go through a couple quotes. Then we'll jump into an article and I'm sure I'll stop from time to time just to tell you my thoughts on it. Are you ready? Let's do it in James Joyce's. Ulysses, Stephen Dedalus tells us history is the nightmare from which I am trying to awaken. <inaudible> do you guys feel that way? Do you feel like history is the nightmare from which you are trying to awaken some pretty scandalous things happen in history? Haven't they, science has nothing to say about how one can decide to one's hand and do a fist. And yet it happens. This is utterly outside the realm of scientific explanation, because what we see in that phenomenon is mind as a first cause it is an example of telekinesis matter is caused by mind to move technology is the real skin of our species. Humanity correctly seen in the context of the last 500 years is an extruder of technological material. We take in matter that has a low degree of organization. We put it through mental filters and we extrude jewelry, gospels space shuttles. This is what we do. We are like coral animals and embedded in a technological reef of extruded, psychic objects. All our tool making implies our belief in an ultimate tool. That tool, could it be the flying saucer or the soul exteriorized in three dimensional space. The body can become an internalized holographic object embedded in a solid state, hyper dimensional matrix that is eternal so that we each wander through a true Elysium. The English poet, mystic William Blake said that as one starts into the spiral, there is the possibility of falling from the golden track until eternal death. Light is composed of photons, which have no antiparticle. This means that there is no dualism in the world of light. The only experience of time that one can have is of a subjective time that is created by one's own mental processes. But in relationship to the Newtonian universe, there is no time. What so ever the one mind contains all experiences of the other. We should try to assimilate and integrate the psychedelic experience since it is a plane of experience that is directly accessible to each of us, the role that we play in relationship to it determines how we will present ourselves and that final intimated transformation. In other words, in this notion, there was a kind of teal logical basis. There is a belief that there is a hyper object called the over mine or God that casts a shadow into time. I am here using the word logos in the sense in which phylo Jew Deus uses it, that of the divine reason that embraces the archetypal complex of platonic ideas that serve as the models of creation language, isn't ecstatic activity of signification intoxicated by the mushrooms, the fluency, the ease, the Atmos of expression, one becomes capable of are such that one is astounded by the words that issue forth from the contact of the intention of articulation. With the matter of experience, the spontaneity, the mushrooms liberate is not only perceptual, but linguistic for the shaman. It is as if existence were uttering itself through him. Isn't it amazing. The potential for beauty we have in the world of linguistics, have you ever spoken to someone and we're able to be it through inspiration or desperation, you were able to string together a set of syntactical poetry, a string of syntactical excellence, the caus

Come on. We're the best of the best. Do you want us to do? Do you guys have a good weekend? Do you have a good day yesterday? Whenever you're listening to this, I don't know. Do you have a good Tuesday? A good Wednesday. I had a pretty good weekend. I had a pretty good day yesterday. I wanted to introduce everybody today to what I, I am going to call my philosopher's spotlight. We're gonna work on a little Terence, McKenna, have you guys ever heard of him? I'm sorry. Have you ladies and gentlemen ever heard of him, but those of you who have not had the great fortune of getting to listen to this phenomenal speaker, perhaps the best way to introduce you and the format I am going to use is to read a little bit from some interviews he's done, I will read you his response to a few questions, and then we'll dive into one of his articles so that you can begin to understand why I think he is a great teacher, a great speaker and someone that more people should be listening to. So without any further ado, Speaker 0 (1m 48s): <inaudible> Speaker 1 (1m 51s): In your scheme of things, Terence, McKenna, is there any place for institutionalized religion for Orthodox religious beliefs? Terence McKenna? Yes. What I have found is that all of these systems that are offered as spiritual paths work splendidly in the presence of psychedelics. If you think mantras are effective, try mantra on 20 milligrams of siliciden and see what happens. Speaker 0 (2m 18s): <inaudible> Speaker 1 (2m 22s): All sincere religious motivation is illuminated by psychedelic to put it perhaps in a trivial way. The religious quest is an automobile, but psychedelics are the petrol that runs it. You go nowhere without the fuel, no matter how finely crafted the upholstery, how flawlessly machine, the engine narrator, where do you personally think the human potential movement is heading now? And where do you position yourself in the spectrum? Terence McKenna, I believe that the best idea will win. We are all under an obligation to Speaker 2 (3m 0s): Ourselves and to the world to do our best, to place the best ideas on the table. Then all we have to do is stand back and watch. I have this Darwinian belief that the correct idea will emerge triumphant to my way of thinking. Psychedelics provide the only category that is authentic enough to be legislated out of existence. They are not going to make quartz crystals or wheat, grass juice, illegal. These things pose no problem. But I think that we are going to have to come to terms with the psychedelic possibility. We would have a long time ago in America, except for the fact that on this particular issue, the government acts as the enforcing arm of Christian fundamentalism life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are enshrined in the constitution of the United States and inalienable, right? If the pursuit of happiness does not cover the psychedelic quest for enlightenment, then I do not know what it can mean. I think we are headed for a darker period before the light. I see the whole hard drug phenomenon as an enormous con game. Governments have always been the major purveyor of addictive drugs, right back to the sugar trade in England, the opium Wars in China, the CIA's involvement in the heroin trade in Southeast Asia during the 1960s and the current cocaine distribution coming out of South America, we're going to have to abandon this Christian wish to legislate other people's behavior for their own good. Let's take two drugs for a moment and contrast them. Cocaine is an ultra chic cost. A hundred bucks per gram is utterly worthless as far as I can see, and doesn't get you as wired as a double espresso, then there's airplane glue. It costs a dollar 20 a tube, and you can totally waste yourself with it and probably kill yourself no faster than you can with cocaine. So why aren't people in Christian Dior gowns driving rolls Royce is honking up airplane glue because it's tatty grotesque. Declasse a, and this is what we have to put across about these hard drugs. The only way you can do that is to reduce the price of cocaine to a dollar 25 per gram. Then it will be seen as a horrible banal destructive thing. Only when governments intervene by restricting access to do things suddenly do they gain this astron

My friends, we got history fiction or science part two, still volume one. So I guess it'd be like 1.2. Thank you to everybody who has taken a moment to give me some feedback and is enjoying the series. I'm really enjoying it. I've actually learned that I do not have all the books in the series cause I'm an awesome listener. And looking forward to picking up some more of those let's jump right in here. For those of you catching up on speed. We left off with the critique of history by sir Isaac Newton. Additionally, the critique of Newton being crazy in his old age, according to the church representatives at the time. Now we'll be getting into the next part. Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov LSI Vavilov wrote the following about in a Morozoff in a Morozov managed to combine his selfless revolutionary devotion to his people with a completely amazing dedication to scientific work. This scholarly enthusiasm and the completely unconditional passionate love for scientific research should remain an example to be followed by all scientists, young and old surrogate Evanovich Vavilov essays and memoirs, Moscow scalp publishing Anthony Warren page two week four. I'm not sure we need the footnotes, but I'll throw them in until I get some feedback. The first researcher of our time who had raised the issue of providing scientific basis for the consensual chronology in its fullest and quite radically was Nikolai Alexandrovich Maura's figures 1.15 1.16 and 1.17, we can see a monument. You can also see some images of the man. I'm going to put those in the pictures below so you can look for them down there. I'm going to try and match up the pictures in the book with where we're at in the story. Speaker 1 (3m 1s): It may not match exactly. However, if you look close, you should be able to follow along in a Morozoff was in imminent Russian scientist and encyclopedia who's fortunate was far from easy Morozov his father, Peter was a rich landowner and belonged to the old aristocratic Shopkin family in a more resolves. Great grandfather was a relation Of Peter. The great in a Morozovs mother was a simple surf peasant. Anna Vasile Vayner, more resolver whom PA Shopkin married after signing her Liberty certificate. The church did not confirm the marriage. And so the children received their mother's surname. At the age of 20 in a Morozov joined the libertarian Naro deny a Veolia movement in 1881. He was sentenced for incarceration and Schlissel Berg for life where he had studied chemistry, physics, astronomy, mathematics, and history, all on his own in 1905, he was let free. Having spent 25 years in gal after having received his freedom, he had immersed himself in a vast body of scientific and pedagogical work. His memoirs are of the greatest interest. See figures 1.2 too many authors wrote about Morozov his literary biography for examples written by M a P Backi. After the October revolution, Morozov became director of the Lez gap Institute for national scientific studies where he had done the major part of his famous research in ancient chronology with the use of natural scientific methods supported by enthusiasts and the staff of the Institute. After in a Morozov left his director's office, the Institute was completely reformed possibly with the objective of casting. The important historical research conducted there by an a Morozov and his group into oblivion Morozov has made honorable member of the Russian Academy of sciences decorated with the order of linen and the red banner of labor. More about the body of his prominent work in chemistry, and several other natural sciences can be read in multiple publications In 1907. Morozov published a book titled revelations in storm and Tempest, where he analyzed the dating of the new Testament apocalypse and came to conclusions that contradicted the Scala Jerian chronology in 1914, he published the profits, which contains a radical revision of the scholar Jerian datings of the biblical prophecies in 1924 to 1932, Morozov published the fundamental work Christ in seven volumes.

It's bet, buddy Friday, you made it man. Time to celebrate and to celebrate this weekend, you made it through a lot down. You made it through five days of monotony. You made it through five days of propaganda. Five days of people flapping their gums and yapping their mouth out of the TV and the radio. You made it. Go ahead, go ahead. Put two fists out. Give yourself a little fist bump or take your hand, reach over your back and just keep yourself a little Pat, Pat, go ahead and Pat it down. You deserve it. You deserve it. I hope you, you set yourself up for a little prize at the end of the day, man, maybe your prize, the glass of wine. Maybe it's a cold beer. Maybe it's a bong load. I don't know what it is, man, but I hope you celebrate. You got to celebrate the victories in life and sometimes just making it a Friday, tell you what, that's a victory, especially in today's climate. You know, some people see things the way they are and say why you should try to see things the way they've never been and say, why not? Creativity is a lot like looking at the world through a kaleidoscope. You look at a set of elements, the same ones everyone else sees, but then reassemble those floating bits and pieces into an enticing new possibility. Today is the Friday wrap up. We're going to wrap this thing up with a tight little bow on there and hopefully give you something you can use in your life. I had a pretty eventful week. I had a pretty eventful weekend. I learned a really good lesson this week and I want to share it with you. I'm excited too. You ever had like a pretty tough week where you felt kind of off. Maybe you felt a little aggressive, you felt a little anxiety, maybe a little anger. You know, you just felt awful little bit. You felt like short fused things are kind of getting to you. I think a lot of people are feeling that way. I think it has a lot to do with the propaganda coming out of the airwaves and it kinda got to me this week. I want to share with you what happened. I learned a really good lesson, but I had to go to a pretty dark spot to get there. And I'm not proud of what I did, but I'm proud to share with you what I learned from it. Speaker 1 (3m 1s): You know what it is. I'm sorry. You know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry guys. Hey, I fucked up the importance of an apology. Let me back. You know what, how about, I shouldn't say like this, the importance of a sincere apology you guys ever think about why an apology is so important for a lot of reasons, for a lot of reasons, you know, nothing ever gets better until you would admit that something's wrong, but most people never want to admit they're wrong because they don't want to confront the thing that they're wrong about, or they don't want to get in trouble. But if it's not at the level you want, it's wrong. If it's not something you're proud of, then it's wrong. You know, a sincere apology usually comes from telling yourself the truth, but we all know the truth can hurt. Right? Well, that's what happened to me. I did something that I'm not proud of. Let me set up the week for you. Let me, let me, let me try to not rationalize why I did what I did, but let me try and paint you a picture of what I went through this week, which led me to an incident where I had to apologize. I'm going to tell you the story, and then I'm going to tell you what I learned. And then I'm going to tell you why I think it's important. So this week was a bit rough where I live. The lockdown is really starting to come into effect and they're, they're starting to clamp down. And the affects on the community are no longer able to be ignored. Starting to see the mom and pop businesses boarded up, starting to see the banks, not open, starting to see people in the community, getting upset at their neighbors about having parties and rightfully so. We're starting to see the distribution of information, be suppressed. We're starting to see the laws being pushed upon people. We're starting to see the rights of people taken away. And it's easy to feel like the frog and the pot of water. You know, that analogy. If you put a frog in a pot of water, he'll stay there and you can slowly turn up the heat until the water begins to boil. And if you do it slow, if you do an incremental, you can boil that frog, call it the boiling frogs and the frog will stay in there. He doesn't realize the water's getting that hot, that fast. He doesn't realize, and he'll stay in there and burn to death. If you were to stick a boiling pot of water and put a throw a frog in there, he'd jump out. But if you do it inc

You know my love you guys got going on. You're going to work right now, talking on the phone. Hey, calling your mom. Hey mom, don't worry. Everything's going to be okay. Don't worry about a mom. We're going to be just fine. Why about you? Turn off, turn off the news, man. All you're doing is making yourself crazy. Just making yourself crazy. Listening to the news. Why don't you turn on the true life podcast? It's way more interesting. Got a lot more stuff going on. You know what I was thinking about today? Shadow. Why is your shadow following you? How come my shadow has to be black. If you could choose a color for your shadow, what would it be? Would you go with a blue shadow? How about like a red shadow? I think I'd go with like a Chrome shadow so I could see my reflection in my shadow could learn a lot from your shadow. In fact, your shadow is the one person that's always going to be by your side. Even when you can't see him, he's still there. Do you think that your shadow represents, represents your dark side? You know, those thoughts that you have sometimes when you're trying to be nice with your life, man, you know what I really think. I really think this is that your shadow talking. A lot of people think that your shadow represents your dark side and it might be a way to integrate your dark side into your personality. It might be a way to better understand the dual nature of man. Remember when you were little and you would see the cartoon or you would see the pictures of like a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other shoulder, the duality of man, the shadow realm. What about shadow people you ever heard of these people that wake up in the middle of the night and they see like a shadow person and it runs under the bed or it sits on the side of the bed and just kind of stares at them. Something out of the Twilight zone. The shadow can be used for quite a bit. I heard a quote one time that said that's impossible. That's like trying to move shadow without moving. The stack brings up some pretty interesting points, right? It brings up the point that if you want to change your dark side, you gotta change the way you move through life because your shadow can be okay, gargantuan, right? If you stand the right way, you can cast it really big shadow. If you stand another way you can cast almost no shadow. Everybody knows what it's like to be in the shadow of somebody greater than them. Do you ever think about the shadow you cast? What about you got kids? Does one of your kids live in the shadow of the other kid? You know what I mean by that? Did you live in the shadow of your sister or your brother or your mother or your father? I think it was Carl Young. Who said the biggest obstacle, a child faces is the unrealized dreams of the parent. You could argue that those unrealized dreams are the shadow of the parents. It's an interesting thing to think about. If you could have a conversation with your shadow, what would you say? What was your shadow? Tell you when you look down at your shadow in your cast, a big shadow. Does that mean that at that point in time, dark thoughts have crept into your mind. Is that a reminder when you look down and you see your shadow is extending further, then you are sure. Yeah. It'd be a reminder that may you're thinking some pretty dark thoughts. It could be. You could use your shadow, light shot. You could integrate your shadow into your daily life. How many of you do that? How many of you every single day, make a conscious note to look at your shadows. Can you shadow? Be like, Hey man, you been putting on some weight, your shadow tell you, man, you gotta start eating some can you shadow make you laugh probably right. You can make all kinds of shadow animals. You ever seen those guys. Then they it's like the dog and the rabbit on the, on the wall. They're an expert in shadows. How about the allegory of the cave? Remember that? Where your whole life you think, you know what's going on, but in reality, all you see are shadows on the wall of the cave. Is that what's going on in life. It's interesting to think about that. Usually dark colors absorb the heat yet all us try to stand under the shadow of the shade tree to Coolah. What about people who throw shade? They throw in a shadow. That's usually used in a negative connotation, right? Just throwing shade, someone throw shade. You should be cool, right? It should be a cool thing. Oh, that guy's throwing shade. Cool. I'm hot. Why is throwing shade? A bad thing. Hey, get in my shadow. Alright. Why don't you protect me from the sun? That's what an umbrella does. It's an umbrella throw shade. I happen to like umbrellas. Although I think we could come up with a better umbrella, right?

We're about to get in to some brave new world versus George Orwell. What a horrible John Wayne impression, isn't it. Hey, I tried, we gotta to do gave it the old college try there. I gave it the old John Wayne American hero, the inspiration to Clint Eastwood, dirty Harry. You know, the reason I was going with his Western style breakdown, because I really want to get into how our world is the way that it is today. And I've been reading rereading some of the classics, 1984 by George Orwell, brave new world by all this Huxley. And I was curious as to what most people would think about today's environment. Would you, my friend think that we are living in a world more like 1984, a sort of surveillance state, or do you think we are living in a brave new world, a technocratic state. If I were to ask you that, what would you say if I was to take a poll? What would America say? What do you think Europe would say? No, that's a good question. So I thought we would go over a few passages of both books. I thought we dig into a little bit of both and I've let you be the judge kind of like, remember when you were a kid and you would have watched the NFL with your dad, and there was always the Buick to call, well, I'm bringing it back and now you get to make the call. I think you're going to enjoy it. George Orwell's 1984 was written in 1948. All they did was kind of switch the numbers around they're all this Huxley, 1931. This is sort of a tale of the tape here. A lot of people don't know, however, brave new world written by all this Huxley actually had a second book written, kind of a followup. And it was called brave new world revisited where all this Huxley goes into how the culture is evolving, what got right and what he got wrong. If you purchase that book, you will also find some correspondence between him and George Orwell. Now I know what you're thinking. Yeah, George, everybody knows those two men were alive at the same time. Most of us have read the correspondence. Don't you have anything new for us, George? We're just going to repeat all this old Gar bodge no, my friends, I have an exclusive for you because I care about you and I love you. And I did my research. I George Monte, true life podcast, and going to bring to you the first ever dialogue leaked. I don't want to give up my source, but have, you know, it's a very high level source. And as far as I know, you will be the very first person to hear this dialogue. Now let me set it up for you. It was late in their careers. Orwell's book was enjoined, tremendous success on mr. Aldous Huxley, who by that time had discovered LSD 25 and was friends with dr. Timothy Leary. He took it upon himself or perhaps the LSD took upon him. I guess there was a rather large dose and Huxley became a little bit upset, maybe a little jealous at the success of Orwell, who he believed was not of the quality of himself as a writer and or as a journalist or a thinker. So under this huge dose of LSD, he went over to George Orwell's house late at night, walking across his grass, up to his house late at night, and then ensued the argument of what you're about to hear without any further ado. Let me play that for you. Now. Speaker 1 (5m 7s): I know what you're thinking. You're thinking. Did he fire six shots or only five? Oh, I remember asking you a God damn thing now to tell you the truth. I forgot myself and all this excitement truth is you the week. And I am the tyranny of evil, but be in this 44, Megan, the most powerful handgun in the world and we'll blow your head clean off. It's called baby it's cold. We still Jeff off. You could ask yourself question. Do I feel lucky? Do you give me the Babel ringer? The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men will ship it's the week. I will strike down upon the, with great vengeance and furious anger. And you will know I am the Lord. When I lay my vengeance upon you, did you hear me? I said, get off my lawn now. Speaker 0 (6m 5s): Now granted, I don't know what happened at the end there, but you can tell that was a very volatile situation. Very tense. Apparently Orwell had just planted some flowers or put some new seed on the lawn. Speaker 1 (6m 23s): So, Speaker 0 (6m 24s): Well, I brought it to you first there you guys go, you're welcome. Now let's get into what could have led to this. I think it's the battle of the books and that's what we're going to get into. I'm going to go through these books and you guys can be the judge of which book is more prescient of today. So let's start off with a little bit about all this Huxley.

Speaker 1 (19s): Like a dog returning with a Frisbee. I came back to you, my friends I'm here waiting for you. I'm just ready to play. I love you guys like man's best friend. Well, I think this might be the last edition of this set of Proverbs. So let's enjoy him. Friends and enemies. Friends be gracious to all men, but choose the best to be your friends for a man is known by the company he keeps listen for. When a stranger cares enough to speak. He becomes a friend and make time for friendship is a plant. Which one must water often never forget. There's safety in numbers. If you play alone on the beach, the sea monster will get you. So two heads are better than one and a house can hold a hundred friends, old wine and friends improve with age. So of friends, the oldest of everything else, the newest indeed. Nobody should forget old friends and old goats, maybe because strangers, forgive friends, forget, treat your friends. Well. If your friend is honey, don't lick it all up for friends are lost by calling often or calling seldom take heed. Many, a friend is not known until they are lost. And remember a friend accepts another warts and all because the eyes of a friend do not see the words. Good friends. Life has no blessing like a prudent friend for iron sharpens iron and one man sharpens another. So hold a true friend with both hands. And remember a cup of coffee brings 40 years of friendship. A friend will tell you the world is your oyster because like stars, a friend will guide you just as an old friend, as like a saddled horse. And no camel journey is long in good company. A real friend holds your hand in times of distress. So share your path with a friend for a friend who shares is a friend who cares. And a friend with weed is a friend, indeed. And a friend in need is a friend. Indeed. In fact, friendship is a single soul in two bodies. Thus a true friend is like a mirror. So listen to friendly criticism for, without an opposing wind, no kite can fly bad friends. Sometimes new friends can be as deceptive as spring ice for trusting. Some men is like having water in a sieve. In other words, if your friend is an ass, expect nothing but kicks distance makes the heart grow fonder for a hedge between keeps friendships green, but money doesn't lend your money and lose your friend. Tellingly. A friend to all is a friend to none as everybody's friend is everybody's fool, which is why a man of many companions may come to ruin since bad company ruins good morals. So be aware of a man's shadow and to BS sting for cobras bite, whatever you call them. And if you live in the river, then make friends with the crocodile. Remember a great talker can be a great liar. So stay alert for a friend who leads one. Astray is an enemy. Indeed. An insider can bring down a kingdom above all. Bear in mind that a Wolf with no failings, doesn't lose its hunger and be aware of the dog that doesn't bark. He'll be the first to bite enemies. All too often close friends can become close enemies for people with the same ideas can be enemies. So keep your friends close and your enemies closer and never forget. A friend looks you in the eye and enemy at your feet while they wise, man is better than a foolish friend. Generally, you should eat an enemy for lunch before he has you for dinner. Use an enemy's hand to catch a snake. And if possible, give your enemy a hungry elephant fight or flight fight, better death before dishonor for you may as well die fighting as become a slave. Pick your battles as a hungry Wolf is stronger than a well fed dog and only an ignorant rat will fight a cat. However much fortune favors the brave, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. So meet roughness with toughness for when the going gets tough. The tough get going. And although attack is the best defense. Never forget that one, man can guard a narrow pass. Often enough showing off is half the fight for you should deal gently with the bird you mean to catch as the greatest victories spill no blood, and there's no need for poison. If you can kill with sweets, keep your eyes open and tread carefully for a thousand good moves are ruined by one bat. And if you have no horse, you have no feet. Avoid chasing cowards less. They become brave and take care. Loose lips, sink ships, just as ski tracks can be followed. Never forget. The weakest man can cause hurt and blood does not wash out blood. So you'll generally find that if your fist is in his mouth, his fist is in your eye. Remember if a man bites a dog, it will say he has poor teeth. So better way than wisdom. You can't carry because it ain't over till it's over peace. Often discreti

You came back so happy. You guys are here. Join the Proverbs. Me too. Let's knock out. Number four, keep this dream alive. As my friend, Scott Hammertime would say advice and ignorance, giving advice, there is no price for good advice, which is why one word to the wise is enough. And he, that speaks so close. Whereas he, that hears reaps leading by example is better than giving advice. So it's often best to say little about what you know, and nothing about what you don't for. No matter how much care is taken, someone will be misled for many. The truth hurts as good medicine is bitter to the tongue. Good advice is harsh to the ear, which is why. If you advise a bear, you deserve your fate. And many people use a stick for a nobody and a hint for a nobleman. A fool may say do, as I say, not as I do, but even a fool can give ideas to a wise man. And remember, never give advice in a crowd heating advice. He asks advice in vain who does not heat it. So ask for what you want. Don't offer me advice. Give me money for warned is for armed. They say so learn from new books and old teachers. And if you can't read, then experience will show you while a master points the way remember it's shameful, never to ask, and it's better to ask twice. Then lose your way. Once as he who seeks advice, seldom ERs, many, a young Prince is told that listening to good advice is the way to wealth for a King with good counselors has a peaceful rain often because deep calls to deep. One piece of good advice is better than a bagful. And crafty advice often comes from a fool. Bear in mind that another person's counsel is no command and that you must examine the advice not who gives it. Remember if you ask a lazy person to work, he will only give you advice. But if you're lucky, you'll find the best advice is on your pillow. And the best word is left unsaid for all that is known, is not told ignoring advice. Only a bad child will not take advice for those nuns. So death, as those who won't hear, there's none so blind as those who won't see yet, no enemy is worse than bad advice because if the blind lead, the blind both will fall into the ditch, particularly as advice most needed is least heated. Of course, the person on shore is always the champion swimmer and many will show you the way after the Cartwheel breaks. Remember there is no right way to a wrong thing and advice after mischief is like medicine after death. So bear in mind that wise men don't need advice and fools won't take it. So why not go to the square and ask advice, then go home and do what you like. I got an idea. Substance and appearance, substance things are what they are. It is what it is. For instance, however long, a log lies in the water. It never becomes a crocodile. And you don't gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles nature, abhors a vacuum. Thus, the pebble comes from the mountain and each Bay has its own wind in nature. There's no such thing as a lawn. Even if you try to drive out in nature with a Pitchfork, she'll keep coming back. Indeed nature follows its course and a cat, the mouse. So cats don't catch mice to please God human nature is the same. The world over just as the name given to a child becomes natural to it. Perhaps because of this, sometimes a person is nothing and some aren't even that. So never forget. There's a prawn under every rock and to him who watches, everything reveals itself, appearance. It is widely held that as is the garden. So is the gardener just as there is no smoke without fire, indeed, what you see is what you get. So maybe clothes make the man. In most cases, joining tail to trunk reveals the elephant in the same way that the background needs the foreground and every Hill has its Valley. So appear always what you are and a little less for an a flat country. A hillock is a mountain and don't judge a man until have walked a mile in his shoes. As it takes all sorts to make the world. And all shoes are not made in the same batch. Indeed different ponds have different fish. Remember appearances are deceitful and looks are nothing. Behavior is all. And since the eyes are the window of the soul, what the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve. Disguises never judge a book by its cover for a cowl does not make a monk and pretty close and find faces. Don't make good people. Indeed. A fair skin often covers a crooked mind, perhaps closed do not make the man after all as black soles wear white shirts while they clever Hawk hides its claws and all too often under the SHEEX turbine, there is a monkey water can deceive the diver as well. So don't be a fool. Don't think there are no crocodiles. I

I want you to take your right hand and just reach over your back and just give it a couple of pads. Just to Pat, Pat, Pat, Pat, Pat, or maybe take one hand in front of the other and not give yourself a high five right there. Hey man. Thank yourself. You've been going around telling people. Thank you. I think you should thank yourself. You've been crushing it. Congratulations. You are amazing. And I am happy to have you. I am so happy. You're taking a few minutes to hang out with me, man. I thought we'd do like a little Friday wrap up. Why not? Why not do a little Friday wrap up. Just kind of go over some thoughts. We've been thinking about ideas for the week and try to give you a little something to chew on for the weekend. How's this COVID treating ya. You guys getting any restricted? Are you wearing a mask right now? <inaudible> I can't do my podcast with a mask on sound. All muffled. Yeah. COVID pretty nuts. Pretty nuts. I've been thinking like I've seen a lot of side effects. I got a little, didn't have the COVID, but I was sick a little bit. This week. I had a bit of a stomach bug or I think I I'd probably just eat too much junk a body's not used to it, but okay. Let me, let me just stop right there for a minute. Did you hear that? Where I used the word, but shouldn't use that word. Shouldn't you use, you shouldn't use or, but funny story in my house, I noticed a lot of my family members, my lovely wife, however, mostly my young daughter was saying the word in order to correct that habit. My and I, we made this jar like a big glass, pickle jar. And on there we wrote the word and awe and anytime someone in our house says that you gotta put a dollar in the jar. The funniest part about that is for the first few days, my daughter said it five times. However you know, who says it way more than my daughter, her parents, I think I have like 30. My wife has 20. So here I am trying to correct this behavior in my daughter. And now she's pointing it out to me. Hey dad, you just said the onward and I gotta tell you it's really annoying, really annoying. I thought I was doing her a favor, but she's corrected my speech. I guess I should be thanking her. However, it's a great project. If you can incorporate it into your family life or just put it on the kitchen table or on the counter or something, it will definitely bring attention to your speech patterns. And it's something that I have found to be incredibly helpful. Okay. Back to my COVID story, there's a quote that says, if you want to know, I think it was Voltaire. If you want to know who rule, if you would like to know who rules you then think about the people you're not allowed to criticize. If you want to know the truth of COVID think about what you're not allowed to talk about. I know it's an election year. However, I never got too deep into the five G rabbit hole yet. It seems to me like a lot of the side effects of COVID could be radiation poisoning. I have noticed people with a lot of rashes. I have noticed people swollen lymph nodes. I have noticed people. I have a friend who's a dentist. And he had mentioned that there's been a lot of people coming in lately. I could also be radiation poisoning. The 5g rollout is worldwide as is the COVID rollout. The areas that are hardest hit California, New York, Australia. These are all places where the five G rollout would in fact be almost impossible to put up. If it had attention on it, the ramifications of 5g are not known. If you look at, if you look at the discussions that were had in Congress, the question was posed to the senators, how much money has been spent in the ramifications healthwise of five G and the answered zero. There's been zero studies on it. We have no idea. Also we've noticed that the tech industry has been called to the Senate and called to the house of representatives multiple times under the guise of monopolies, under the guise of political campaigns, they could just easily just as easily be going up there to answer questions about five G, right? If you look at all the new tech coming out, it's going to be in five G the internet of things relies on five G. If they would like to have this system up and running, they must put in the infrastructure. If the infrastructure causes hazardous conditions to the biological organism and the people were aware of that, they would not be able to put

So nice to see you, even though I can't really see ya, like the close my eyes and imagine you're right there. Imagine, imagine a beautiful sunny day with a few birds singing few light clouds out in the sky. Maybe some wind chimes. Isn't that nice. Let's get into some more Proverbs. These are beautiful. Start your day off the right way kind and selfish kind. Generosity is wealth. They say, and kindness is even better than piety for altruism is the Mark of a superior being. And indeed kindness is the soul's best quality as kindness, nourishes, both giver and receiver. So kindness is not just for the sake of others, because if you sow kindness, you reap gratitude and kindness begets kindness as one. Good turn deserves another. So even if life is short, a smile only takes a second. And certainly a good word never broke a tooth. Thus, a word of kindness is better than a fat pie. And even if you're hungry, don't go where the food is plentiful, but where the people are kind forget injuries, but never a kindness indeed right? Injuries in the sand, kindness in the marble except a forced kindness deserves. No thanks. Bear in mind too, that kindness is remembered. Meanness is felt so way. Kindness is easily forgot and unkindness never. And be aware that the sandal tree perfumes, the ax that fills it two kind, yours truly is not always true and too much kindness can lead to tiredness for often the kind hearted becomes a slave, particularly if there is too much kindness, but not enough gratitude. Just be aware that there is no honey without gall. So speak softly, but carry a big stick and recall that the hand of compassion is stung. When it strokes a scorpion, also be aware that to lend is to buy trouble for he, that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing as the greatest humiliation is helplessness. So try to be envied rather than pitied. Remember he who depends on himself will attain the greatest happiness because he travels fastest and who travels alone. So generally it is better to buy than to receive, especially as the buyer's eyes are in the seller's hands selfish, no one calls on a miser because asking a miser for help is like trying to dig through seawater just as a dog with a bone knows no friends, indeed what you have hold for. It is better to save than to beg as desire has no rest and a person's desire grows day by day. However, all suffering is caused by desire. So grasp all and you lose all as gluttony kills more than the sword and a glutton young becomes a beggar old, or you can buy, buy, buy, and let the children pay. The debts for a selfish person will even take advantage of wind and clouds. But he who has much is afraid of many, which is why greed keeps men poor. So don't be a slave to your desires, but know that all that is not given as lost and no man is an Island. Remember the misers bag is never full and coffin carries love and plague, but miser or not. After three days, guests and fish smell and the guest who breaks the dishes is not forgotten. Thank you very much. Young and old young you're only young once. So make the most of it. The world is your oyster. Although those whom the gods love die, young, everything new is beautiful though. Nothing is so new. It has not happened before. So youth is the time to, so for the vigor of youth passes away like a spring flower, yes, youth slips away as water from a Sandy shore. You have to learn to walk before you can run, but green twigs bend easily. So instructing the young is like engraving stone just as the young cock crows, as he hears the old one for what youth learns age does not forget a new broom, sweeps clean and diligent youth make easy age, but be aware. Young st. Old devil in fact, youth is wasted on the young for many mysterious roads, broken to young people, indeed youth ignorance and impatience ruined people and young folks think old folks fools while old folks know the young are, you can't put an old head on young shoulders. So never send a boy to do a man's job. But remember when a Palm branch reaches its height, it must make way for a young one, four. There is always something new out of Africa, old walnuts and pears. You plant for your heirs, but old age comes for free. So the young rely on their parents. The old on their children, youth has a beautiful face old age, a beautiful soul for young twigs may be bent, but not old trees. Elderly Venus is a richness. So an old man is put in a boat to give advice, not to row for taught by necessity. Old people know a lot. You don't teach the Forrest paths to an old gorilla more than you'd teach your grandmother how to suck eggs. Indeed, many, a good tune is playe

So I got something special. I'm gonna look into today. I'm hoping you will follow me on this journey. I've recently put out some feelers to some of my like-minded conspiracy friends. Who've been asking me, George, what do you got in the way of conspiracy? I got a good one for a lot of people like to talk about the new world order or a lot of people like to talk about vaccines, or a lot of people like to talk about maybe the magic Johnson thing, sports politics. However, I found myself digging way down on the bottom of the, what if Beryl and I came up with some real gold, but I'm going to let you be the judge. I will let you be the judge because ultimately you're the one listening in my job is to keep it interesting. So that being said, let me first off give you the claim. Let me give you the claim to see if I can pique your interests. What if Jesus Christ was born in 1152, a D and crucified in 1185, a D what if the old Testament refers to medieval events? What if the apocalypse was written after 1486? Does this sound uncanny? This version of events is substantiated by facts and logic validated by new astronomical research and statistical analysis of ancient resources to a greater extent than everything you may have read and or heard about history before. Probably thinking to yourself, this guy sounds like a nutcase, but I'm listening. You still with me? Aren't you. Alright, let me try and give you a little validation about the man who made these claims by a man named Anatole a flamenco before you get to out in the woods here, before you go here, who's this guy in a totally, let me give you his background, a little more validation and a totally flamenco was born in 1945. He's a full member of the Russian Academy of sciences, a former member of the Russian Academy of natural sciences, full member of the international higher education Academy of sciences, doctor of physics and mathematics professor head of the Moscow university section of mathematics of the department of mathematics and mechanics saw plateaus problem from the theory of minimal spectral surfaces, author of the theory of invariants and top illogical classification of integral Hamiltonian dynamic systems Laureate of the 1996 national premium of the Russian Federation in mathematics for a cycle of works on the Hamiltonian dynamical systems and manifolds in variants theory, author of 200 scientific publications, 28 monographs and textbooks on mathematics, a specialist in geometry and topology, calculus of variations, symplectic topology, Hamiltonian, geometry, and mechanics, computer geometry. So is there any one of you that have those qualifications because I definitely do not have those qualifications gotta tell you there's something about a Russian mathematician. There's something about the Eastern block of people that seem to be a higher order of cognitive thinking. At times, I'll give it up to you guys. I'm going to give it up to my, to my counterparts in the Eastern blocks. They seem to be better at math might not be as good looking as me, but they're probably better thinkers sold. Let us begin at the beginning, the problems of historical chronology first and foremost, we're going to introduce the problem going to give a criticism of the scallop Jerian chronology. Don't worry. I'll break down what daddy is. The dating methods as offered by mathematical statistics, eclipses Zodiacs, Roman chronology, as the foundation of European chronology. Let us give a concise, preliminary account of the current state of ancient and medieval chronology. The importance of chronology for historical science is all the greater. Since this discipline allows for the determination of the time interval between the historical event and the current era provided it can be adequately translated into terms of contemporary chronology. That is to say it is given a corresponding BC slash Ady dating nearly all the fundamental historical conclusions depend on the dating of the events described in the source that is being studied, an alter or imprecise dating of an event defines its entire interpretation and evaluation. The current global chronology model has evolved owing to the labor of several generations of chronologists in the 17th through 19th century, and has Julian calendar dating's ascribed to all the major even

Well, hello, my friends. How's everybody doing today? Doing well. I'm going to hit you with some more words of wisdom. I'm gonna try to get in your head and give you a few funny one liners, try to paint some pictures in the back of your mind. Maybe try to inject some means into the prefrontal cortex. Get you guys thinking a little bit. I've just found these Proverbs to be so useful. However, I don't know if I've really gone into depth or talk a little bit about what they actually are. So let me try and do that. Now, the word proverb may be defined as a short sentence or phrase that conveys a nugget of common sense, a summary of practical experience or a rule of conduct. Several other words have similar meanings. For example, saying aphorism adage, Maxim, or saw a lot of academics. Try to draw precise boundaries between these various terms. Although in reality, it can be difficult to tell them apart. They would define a Maxim as a statement of general principle, such as you're either a part of the solution or you're part of the problem. While an aphorism has a moral or philosophical tone, such as melodies are cured by nature, not remedies for the more an adage is described as an aphorism that has passed into general use. The truth is that Proverbs can employ all of these forms. They have a delightful fluidity. The best evidence we have for their antiquity is that surviving stone age, a hundred gatherer cultures, such as those of the sand and South Africa or the Australian Aborigines used them in multitudes. So that being said a little bit of history behind them and kind of give you a background in some of the rhetorical language, paradoxical statements, the purported logic and proverb adds to their appeal helps them transmit their cultural insight. So let's get into some more of these. Let's start off with hope and despair, hope Springs, eternal. Thus, every cloud has a silver lining and tomorrow is another day four in the land Speaker 1 (3m 0s): Of hope. There is no winter. Don't worry. The sky falls we'll catch the larks. And if you die today, you'll not send tomorrow. So there's hope while your fishing line is still in the water live in hope. God will find a low branch for the bird that can't fly. So just follow the river and you'll get to the sea hope keeps us alive. Despite the fact that hope is the mother of fools and he, that lives on hope has a slender diet. You know, even crooked logs make straight fires and even foul water will quench a fire. So persevere and never fear for the person who digs lives. Although those who are declared dead live longer, remember a long hope is sweeter than a short surprise. Just as hope keeps the poor alive. While fear kills the rich contentment hope for the best and prepare for the worst for it's better to be one eyed than blind. And don't worry about tomorrow because you don't know what may happen to you today. Time will tell for time is a great healer. So enjoy yourself. It's later than you think. Also. Don't worry about unlaced eggs for worrying. Never did anybody any good instead face your fears for the death of fear is doing what you dread. In fact, fear and hope are the parents of God. So if God doesn't need our prayers, at least don't throw the baby out with the bath water, but be content with what God has given you for. He has enough who is content cross a bridge when it comes and remember who hides his grief finds no remedy as men, fear snakes, snakes, fear men, thus every why has aware for and your feet take you where your heart lies. Despair just as every Rose has a thorn despair and hope are sisters. So he who hopes despairs, no lamp burns until morning. The shadows grow and Moonlight, but never forget that the darkest hour is just before Dawn bad news travels fast for bad news is its own horse. Just as hunger drives the Wolf out of the forest and a bleeding kid excites the Wolf. Be prepared. Misfortunes never come singly after one loss come many and not all the buds on a Bush will blossom. You're on your own for good fortune seldom knocks twice and most prayers go unanswered. So take care. You don't live by hope and die by hunger. As grief is to the soul. What a worm is to would however much despair. It gives courage to coward. Remember despair never pays debts and you can't put out a fire with spit pent up grief will burst the heart. So when new grief awakens the old drown, your grief and pleasure Status and change status, only the wisest and the stupidest of men never change for when you're finished changing. You're finished living old habits, die hard and regret always comes too late, but it's no use crying over s

I thought we'd try a little, something fun, something new, something borrowed something blue. Ah, what are we getting married? What's going on there? All right. Let's do so some Proverbs today let's knock out a few of these things are kind of fun. I enjoy being able to have some of these in my arsenal. And I've got a few friends that have reached out to me and told me how much they really enjoy him. Therefore, I want to do what you guys like. I want to give you what you want. So I thought I'd give you a double shot Of these here. Proverbs. I'm going to start off with richer and poorer money. If the best things in life are free. What is so many people think that money makes the world go round and that money is power. Maybe it's because he who pays the Piper calls the tune and money makes dogs dance, or maybe it's as simple as money talks because money doesn't grow on trees. And there's no such thing as a free lunch, save it carefully. As many a Mikel makes a miracle and a penny saved is a penny earned for money has a way of taking wings. Sometimes though it's important to spend in for a penny in for a pound they say, but please try to get the money. Honestly, if you can richer watch out for when money is not a servant, it's a master and any gardener will tell you that good soil is worth more than gold. You may be happier if you stay where there are songs and go where poor people entertain with the heart, because it's always the idiots who have money. Despite the fact that a fool and his money are soon parted. Remember half of something is better than all of nothing but money. Isn't everything. So although every bird loves its nest. It's funny how money can buy you a house, but not a home and never forget when you die. You can't take it with you for you make a living from what you get. You make a life from what you give. And even the poorest man has the sun and the stars, moderation money. Won't solve all your problems, but having enough is better than having too much for the bigger your roof. The more snow at collects and many donkeys mean a lot of hay. Admittedly, there's one law for the rich, another for the poor, but more slaves make some more thieves. So better, a small deal than a long coral and better your own copper than another man's gold that's because money is the root of all evil. And when money speaks, the truth stays silent. Remember all that glitters is not gold and pearls are worth nothing in the desert. You know, a bird wouldn't sing. If it knew how poor it is. So always count your blessings. Poor life for the poor, it can be tough for the Satan. Do not see the hungry and every rock strikes the feet of the poor. Indeed. Beggars can't be choosers for a man with no money can do no nothing in a market lovers should bear in mind. That love does much, but money does more. And when money goes out, the door love, flies out the window. It's the same in Alaska where, unless you're the head Husky, the view stays much the same because a man with no bread has no authority, which is why small fish never sleep honor. And shame honor, honor. Once lost, never returns for honor cannot be bought, which is why a good name is the best treasurer of all. It's better to be poor with honor than rich with shame. And it's also better to deserve honor and have none than have honor and not deserve it. The measure of honor is in the person giving it. So there's no honor for an Eagle in vanquishing, a dove, but there is honor among fees for the thief thinks all men are like himself. Do not lose honor through fear for a whole is more honorable than a patch and where there is no honor. There is no dishonor. Great honors can be great burdens for honor and reward are indifferent Sachs. So all in all honor is better than honors. Remember a prophet is not without honor save in his own country. So keep your boasts until the battle for honor, often only blossoms in the grave. Respect in matters of integrity. Honesty is the best policy for when a monkey can't reach a right banana. He says it isn't sweet since we are all guardians of our own honor. If you've only a day to live, spend half of it in the saddle for it is better to die on your feet than live on your knees and pay attention. He, that respects not is not respected. So respect others. If you want to be respected because respect is mutual. Remember there is no shame in learning and if you understand danger, you'll not feel it, which is lucky as the more the danger, the greater the honor for no strength within no respect without of course, none, but the brave deserve the fair. So remember, every slip is not

You guys came back, you know, they, they say, if you love something, you should set it free. And if it comes back to you, it was meant to be, I guess this is meant to be my friends. You know, we're going to do today. We're going to do a little in LP. Number five in L P number five, neuro linguistic programming NLP. I am hopeful that you had a beautiful morning. I'm hopeful, something beautiful happened to you. I'm hopeful that you will find some beauty in the words we are about to get into. I'm hopeful that you will find a lesson buried in the testimony of this lecture. Do you guys have a good weekend? Do you have a good day? Good morning. I hope so. I want to start off with a quick story about something I did this weekend. That was incredibly unexpected. It's not so much. The event I did was unexpected. It was more about what I saw during the event. So here in Hawaii, we are on lockdown. Like the majority of the places. However, there are some things you can do. One of the things you can do is you can go to the beach. However, you can not sit on the beach. That means you can do an activity in the water. You'd go surf, wind surf, boating, swimming, snorkeling. I chose to take my beautiful daughter to do some snorkeling at one of the local beaches. It was a beautiful day. I'm always hopeful when we go snorkeling that we're first off going to see fish. Second off that we will see different kinds of fish. Lastly, I'm hopeful. We will see something that we've never seen before. This was one of those trips, parked the truck, put our gear in the bag, walked down to the beach, put on our snorkels, grab the fins, dive into the water. I'm sure most of you can close your eyes and imagine what the water in Hawaii looks like. Speaker 1 (3m 0s): Think of any tropical area. And it's this crystal blue water. Some spots are more green than others. And there is a reflection of Silver streaks that run the length of the water. Almost like liquid lightning penetrating through the depths of the ocean as my daughter and I are swimming. We're making our way out towards some of the reef. And there's lots of colorful fish, Yellow and black, and some spotted orange fish, big ones, small ones, round ones, polka dotted ones. And as we're swimming, when you dive down somewhat, or when you're, at least your ears are below the waterline, it's almost like you're in an alien universe. You're seeing the landscape that you don't normally see. It's foreign. It's almost alien hope I'm doing a good job of describing this. Cause what I see, what I saw next was mind blowing. So we're making our way through the water. And we come upon a, a rather large rift between two parts of the reef. The part we are swimming in on the reef is 15 to 20 feet. And then as you swim a little further, it drops down to like 30 feet and it's kind of black. You can't really see the bottom. It's like a, a little think of a small Canyon where you're on top of the water. And you're looking down into the depths of the Canyon. And as we're swimming, I looked to the right and I, I see a figure and it's, I know that there's other snorkelers out there. However, as I look to the right, I see what appears to be a woman swimming up from the depths of the Canyon. And as I focus in, I realized that it is a woman and it's almost like she just appeared from the depths of this Canyon. And I, I totally attendant my total attention is upon her. And as I, I see her swimming up, I noticed that she's swimming towards a man who is swimming down. The woman is 15 to 20 feet down and she is swimming up and she has no snorkel. She has no fins. She's in this white garb. She looks like a, a manifestation of a princess of a underwater kingdom. And while this happened quickly, it seemed like it happened. It was seemed like it was in slow motion. So I'm watching this woman with long flowing hair in this white semi dress swim up and she's meeting. And as I see her swimming up, she reaches out and embraces this man who is swimming down and they class pans and they're drawn together and they kiss each other. Speaker 3 (6m 49s): It was Speaker 1 (6m 51s): Mindblowing. As I replay the scene in my mind, it seems like something out of a movie.

Speaker 0 (14s): Or is it good afternoon or is it good evening? I guess it depends on when you're listening to this. However, whenever it is, you're listening to this. I'm hopeful that it's good. I had a great weekend cause I'm recording this on Monday. I spoke with an incredible woman this weekend that had such an amazing story. It was like the hero's journey. And it made me think about how strong people can inspire the lives of all of us. At times we all face adversity. And at times we all face obstacles that we seem are insurmountable and often a lot of us get stuck. And when we get stuck, I think it's important to turn to the stories of people who have made it through those tough times. As an example. So much of the media today is commodified. And as a father who has a young daughter, I often worry about the examples for her to follow. As far as strong women, my wife is incredibly strong and beautiful, and my mom and the women in my family are very fortunate. They're all that way. The woman I spoke to today, mrs. Mona's shake is a standup comedian who came from Pakistan at the age of 14. She has overcome so many obstacles and the way she carries herself, our outlook on life and her ability to fight with the heart of a champion is really inspiring. Now, wish I'm hopeful that we'll be seeing more of her. And I wish she was on prime time giving talks at schools and I really admire her courage and I really admire her willingness to be open about life. And I really admire her. So that being said, I hope everyone here enjoys this interview with an incredible woman and you can look her up on the internet on Instagram and are all her links will be in the notes for this particular podcast. So thank you. I hope you enjoy Aloha. Speaker 1 (2m 52s): Hello. I'm so Mona, how you doing? Speaker 2 (3m 0s): I, I got, I'm not gonna lie. I was a little nervous. I was a little stressed out there for a minute, but I feel much better now. Thank you. Speaker 1 (3m 8s): Thank you. You discovered a new platform. You can connect all your stuff on here and you can, the world can get to know the greatness of George Monte. That is so kind of you to say that. Thank you. Speaker 2 (3m 21s): Yeah, it's interesting. Cause I was looking at similar platforms to try and understand how to connect everything. Yeah. And it's so nice to know someone that had gone through this that you can kind of piggyback their experience and have them teach. Speaker 1 (3m 37s): I'm all about that. Piggyback this back is strong. Let's do Speaker 2 (3m 42s): It is strong. Mona. I've been watching some of your videos. Speaker 1 (3m 45s): Can I tell you something? Yes. Speaker 2 (3m 48s): I think you have one of the most amazing stories ever. Speaker 1 (3m 54s): It's so sweet. You're so kind Speaker 2 (3m 58s): Truth. I mean, so for a lot of people in my audience that may not know you, maybe you can share a little bit with them, how you got from Pakistan to becoming a successful standup comedian in LA Speaker 1 (4m 11s): On a boat, on a boat, the boat right. Would have taken way too long. Also I did seasick. So there's also that, how did I, you know, so my family story is, you know, you hear a lot of immigrant stories and I don't know how many immigrant stories you've heard, but there's usually are very similar in the sense, Oh, I came here with $5 in my pocket that kind of our family story is not so much about $5 in my pocket story. Our story is that I have four older brothers. I'm the youngest and the only girl out of five kids because my parents didn't have a radio or television set. So we ended up being like five and I was like, you guys didn't have any other form of entertainment. Like you just kept making people stop it, stop it. And then I, but the thing is that like in the seventies, my second and my third brother were given expired vaccination for polio and they ended up getting polio because of it. So my second and my third brother got polio. Of course there was no treatment for them in Pakistan at the time or really around the surrounding areas. So my mom would write letters to hospitals around the world, pretty much saying, Hey, I have two sick kids. They need help. Like I need to get them treatment. And then finally after much trying and after much persistence and just kind of, you know, writing letters out

As a young boy you learn to understand that some times you got to fight to be a man!Transcript:https://app.podscribe.ai/episode/49720293Speaker 0 (0s): What up everybody? Well, welcome back. I hope you enjoyed Von Clausewitz part one. Did you catch that whistle in the beginning? Let me do it again. You guys know what that means. That means run white boy run. Cause you're about to get your ass kicked. That's what that means. I know because I was the white guy running. And since we're talking about war, I thought I'd start off this particular episode with a story about me getting my ass kicked. I don't know if that's magic or tragic, but here you go. So I'm a short white guy, talks a lot of shit should be no surprise to anybody. I gotten beat up a lot when I was a young man, I used to spend a lot of time at my cousin's house. And he lived in a predominantly Mexican neighborhood, which is cool with me. Cause I like Mexican food and I like Mexican people. And I think Mexican women are beautiful. And I was cool with all my neighbors and everybody around my cousin's house. But sometimes I had to walk a couple miles to go to the store. And so when I would do that, I had to walk through like a really rough part of town. And I think everybody knows if you're the wrong color in the wrong part of town, you're probably going to catch a right hook to the face. And that's what happened to me as I was coming back from the store, see, I successfully navigated the treacherous pathway to the store, but on my way back, I noticed some people noticing me. And then I heard this sound. And then all of a sudden the guy that was making that sound, I was staring at him whistling. And then I noticed some people coming from the other side, it was an ambush. It was an ambush. It's interesting because it's kind of ties into language. And I know this isn't a language podcast. We're going to get the Von Clausewitz. We're going to get there. But I think that this part is imperative. You know, the whistling language that is often found in South America is thought to be a primitive language. And in some time, in some particular schools of linguistics, it's thought to be extinct, but you need not go further than Vista California to find out that that language is alive and well, it may not have the exact same meanings, but as I was taking a few to the dome and these guys were whistling, I thought to myself, wow, that's a pretty good form of language. I mean, no one really knows what you're saying. Except the people whistling. There's all these codes. You know what I, you know, what's funny too. One more, little quick story here. You got to love the Mexican people. Every time I got beat up by a Mexican guy, he always had the common courtesy to make up a story. You know what I mean? By that, like when these guys came down, like after they did their, like one guy came up to me and he's like, Hey man, why you jumped my friend essay? Why did you jump my friend homes? You know? And I looking back on it, I think it goes, I think it goes to the heart of a good family. At least that young thug had the common decency to pretend like I had offended him. He didn't just come over and punch me in the face without saying something. You see what I mean? He at least had the decency to pretend that at some point in time I jumped one of his friends, even though I didn't never seen the men in my life, it's almost like he had a conscious and he was like, man, I can't just punch this guy. I have to at least pretend like something bad happened. You got to admire that. I think a that goes out to the heart and soul of them. My, my Mexican brothers. I love you guys. Thanks for teaching me some lessons. Okay. So we are on Von Clausewitz and we're going to, we're going to go down a few more points here of what war is. We went through 11 points in the previous podcast, and now we're going to go through some more. We left off with the last point we left off with was the political object. Now comes to the fore again. And let me just bring you guys up to speed by finishing the last paragraph so that you don't feel like you were unable to dip your toe in the water. Before we jumped in, generally speaking, a military objective that matches the political object in scale will. If the latter is reduced, be reduced in proportion, this will be all the more so as the political object increases its predominance. Thus, it follows that without any inconsistency Wars can have all degrees of importance and intensity ranging from a war of extermination down to simple armed observation. This brings us to a different question, which now needs to be analyzed and answered. Is there anyone out there that thinks they know the answer to that question? I'm listening. Put it in the co

Hey, it's me, George. Look, I'm over here. Can you see me camouflage? Close your eyes there. What's going on everybody. Good morning or good afternoon or good evening. I don't know when you're listening to this, but whenever it is, I hope you're feeling good. You don't so much of the human experience is based on war. We've got a war on drugs, a war on poverty, a war in Afghanistan, world war one, world war II, the war of the roses, Vietnam, Korea. We are, we love war. We just love, love, love it. That being said, I thought we'd talk about strategies of war. I thought we'd kind of really try to dig in and understand what war is. I thought we would try to just dig down deep, get to the root of all this war. One way to do that is to consult with one of the greatest military strategists of all time. Mr. Carl Von Clausewitz, one of Napoleon's greatest generals. He wrote a book called on war. I thought we'd go over a little bit of it here just to see what you guys think. Maybe just to see what I think, maybe just to read a little, understand a little, that way we can all get along a little bit more. That being said, let's check it out. What is war introduction? I propose to consider first the various elements of the subject next its various parts or sections, and finally the whole and its internal structure. In other words, I shall proceed from the simple to the complex, but in war more than an any other subject, we must begin by looking at the nature of the whole four here more than elsewhere, the part and the hole must always be thought of together. Definition, let's define what war is. I shall not begin by expounding a pedantic literary definition of war, but go straight to the heart of Speaker 1 (3m 0s): The matter to the duel or is nothing but a duel on a larger scale, countless duals go to makeup war, but a picture of it as a whole can be formed by imagining a pair of wrestlers, each tries to physical force to compel the other, to do his will. His immediate aim is to throw his opponent in order to make him incapable of further resistance. War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy, to do our will force to counter opposing force equipped itself with the inventions of art and science attached to fours are certain self-imposed imperceptible limitations, hardly worth mentioning, known as international law and custom, but they scarcely weaken it force. That is physical force for moral force has no existence save as expressed in the state. And the law is thus the means of war to impose our will on the enemy is its object to secure that object. We must render the enemy powerless. And that in theory is the true aim of warfare. That aim takes the place of the object, discarding it as something, not actually part of war itself. So one was introduction to definition three, the maximum use of force kind hearted people might of course think there was some ingenious way to disarm or defeat an enemy without too much bloodshed. And might imagine this is the true goal of the art of war pleasant, as it sounds, it is a fallacy and it must be exposed. War is such a dangerous business that the mistakes which come from kindness are the very worst. The maximum use of force is in no way, incompatible with the simultaneous use of the intellect. If one side force, if one side uses force without compunction undeterred by the bloodshed, it involves while the other side refrains, the first will gain the upper hand. That side will force the other to follow suit. Each will drive its opponent toward extremes. And the only limiting factors are the counter poses inherent in the war. This is how the matter must be seen. It would be few tile, even wrong to try and shut one's eyes to what war really is from sheer distress at its brutality. If Wars between civilized nations are far less cruel and destructive than Wars between savages, the reason lies in the social conditions of the States themselves and in their relationships to one another. These are the forces that give rise to war, the same forces, circumscribed and moderated they themselves, however are not part of war. They already exist before fighting starts to introduce the principle of moderation into the theory of war itself would always lead to logical absurdity to different motives, make men fight one, another hostile feelings and hostile intentions. Our definition is based on the ladder since it is the universal element. Even the most Savage, almost instinctive passion of hatred cannot be conceived as existing without hostile intent. The hostile intentions are often unaccompanied by any sort of hostile feelings, at least by none that predominate Savage peoples are ruled by passion civilized peoples by the mind, the difference, however lies no

The virus seems to target the elderly, people of color, & is particularly virulent in low income neighborhoods.Might there also be a connection to Epstein. There was quite a bit of talk about breeding young women at his New Mexico ranch that has yet to be investigated.Transcript:https://app.podscribe.ai/episode/49563994Speaker 0 (0s): Good morning, everyone. Good morning. My friends, you have a good day. Good morning. A good weekend. A good week. It's pretty interesting out there, huh? Things are definitely interesting. May you live in interesting times? The matrix is everywhere is all around us. Even now in this very room, you can see it. When you look out your window or you turn on your television, you can feel it. When you go to work. When you go to church, when you pay your taxes, it is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. What truth that you're a slave Neo like everyone else. You were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch prison for your mind. How about that movie guys? Remember that one? I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. How about that one? The good old matrix. It got me thinking it got me thinking quite a bit. It got me thinking about the whole COVID situation. And I thought there's a lot of conspiracies going around this whole COVID this whole bill Gates, this whole, what was that thing? They had, it was a event. Two Oh one. Did you guys hear about that? Even two Oh one K event, two Oh one was done a year ago. I think it was September, October of 28, teen. I'm sorry, maybe 2019. And it was a large number of people from big industries, bill and Melinda Gates foundation was also a lot of people from John Hopkins, the world bank, a lot of the world health organization, a lot of, of world agencies and what they did at event two Oh one was they simulated UPenn Dimmick they simulated the repercussions of shutting down business. They simulated the repercussions of people not working. Economy's failing. You can go and look it up until the event. Two Oh one. It's pretty fascinating. It's even more fascinating that any event two Oh one, they did all these mock press releases to the people. And then during the COVID outbreak, they used almost the exact same press releases. So it begs the question. Were people aware of COVID prior to 2020, does COVID stand for certificate of vaccination ID? Some people think so. Some people believe that the COVID outbreak is setting us up for eugenics. You guys know what eugenics is. I've read a little bit about it and I'm sure most of you do, but let me just kind of go over a little bit of what the eugenics process is and how it might be connected to what we've got going on here. So eugenics has been around for a long time, 1920s, 1930s, there was a group of, I guess, kind of technocrats. You know, there's, there's always a group of people that are socially engineering, the public of their country. There's always a group of intellectuals or leaders that are constantly thinking of ways to make the world a better place and trying to solve issues that affect everyone. You know, if you look at some of what bill Gates does, right? He is working hard on vaccinations. You look at companies like Monsanto that are working hard on feeding all the people. So the eugenics process, according to these group of intellectuals in the twenties and thirties, and even still today, it tends to bring about a different philosophy. The eugenesis say that there are useless eaters. The eugenicists say that some people are not worth living. It was a very, very big movement around world war II. They believed that people who were mentally disabled, people that were unable to provide people that were unable to provide the community with something, they would be considered useless eaters. People who were criminals, people who were not fit for society. Some other races of people I've read a little bit about it. However, I don't know it entirely, but I think it's a pretty good summary. I think you can listen to those few categories that I said, and you can probably come up with a few more categories of people that the eugenicists didn't want around. And when you think about it, it could be construed as evil, definitely sinister. Why would one group of people get to choose who should be on the planet and who should not be on the planet? It's important to note that there were experimentations done as well. There was for sterilization, there was Lord knows what kinds of science experiments that took place. And a lot of them were done in front of a court where people went to court and they said, look at this person is mentally disabled. There's no way that this person shoul

How your self concept is a corner stone in building your life experiences. In this lesson we will explain & define our key terms. Then go over strategies to use these techniques in a defensive & offensive posture. https://app.podscribe.ai/episode/49444016Speaker 0 (0s): Hello friends. How was your day going? It's about to get better. We are about to get into some <inaudible> that's right next class, ladies and gentlemen. I hope you're enjoying the class. I hope you're enjoying spending some time with me because I am enjoying spending some time with you is probably because you're such a cool person. It's probably because you're so handsome or you're so beautiful. It might be your sense of humor. I don't know, but I like you get it. All right, let's do it. You know, we start this off, right? We start off with some Proverbs and these ones are going to be about the past. The present and the future yesterday is the past. Tomorrow is the future. Today's a gift. That's why they call it the present. Ladies and gentlemen, here we go past, we all know how time flies, how it is here today and gone tomorrow. How no hand can catch time? Indeed. Time is precious. Time is money. The wall too often. We must time. I am sorry. Although all too often, we want time badly. Then use it badly. For example, don't let yesterday take up too much of your today. Don't cry over spilled milk, and there are no birds in last year's nest in general. Hindsight is clearer than foresight. So remember four things do not return spoken words, flighted arrows, past life and lost opportunities. Indeed. Even a God can't change the past for a lost sheep can be recovered, but not lost time. Despite this, no matter how hard the past, you can always begin again. And when you do watch out history repeats itself, which is why so often things present are judged by things past today is the scholar of yesterday. Present. The only bird catches the worm for so often in life. It's first come first served. And if you get to the river early, you drink the cleanest water. Otherwise you can tell yourself better, late than never for everything has its proper time. Even maneuvering cabbages. Indeed. There's a time for adversity, a time for prosperity. And there's a first time for everything. Even the longest journey starts with a single step aim to experience each moment to its fullest. There's no time like now. And despite the fact that time and tide wait for no man, and the tide must be taken when it comes, don't forget to give time, time, suit yourself to the times. And remember that time brings roses. Indeed. Those who are happy, do not observe the passing of time. And one today is worth two tomorrow's future worrying about the future ruins the present. So relax tomorrow is another day and tomorrow's winds will blow tomorrow. So let us think of tomorrow. When tomorrow comes though tomorrow never comes. Of course, there are a few paths without peril. So be prepared for conflicts as they have already begun. And however good your intention, the food you give may come back as Pooh in the end time, heals all for everything has an end and things will work out all in good time. Just remember the past is the future of the present. Indeed. We are only visitors to this time and place with a sponge to wipe away the past arose to sweeten the present and a kiss to greet the future for flowers, bloom flowers fall. Well, isn't that beautiful? Doesn't it give you a little sigh of relief. Everything's going to be just fine. Okay. My friends. Well, that's the first part that we normally do. Let us dig in now to some NLP. I'm really enjoying this class guys. Thanks for spending time with me. So this one, I am going to go over a, I think we shall call this. I was going to go with self concept. I think we'll go with self concept, self concept. I like it. We're going to get into knowing thyself so you can know the other self-concept know yourself so you can know the other. And as always, we're going to define some key points. We're going to go over the key points in an offensive posture and a defensive posture. For those of you that haven't gone back and listen to the other classes you should do that. Otherwise you won't know what a defensive posture and an offensive posture are. All right. So the self concept, the first part I want everyone to think about in self concept is stress and stress management. How do you feel when you're stressed? How do you feel when you're not stressed? I think this is a good point. I think I got a really good story for you about stress. There was this great samurai and this is great. Samurai had lived his life as honorable as any samurai could. It's important to note that this particular samurai carried around a magnificent sword that he built with his father and i

Welcome to Wednesday. Welcome to Wednesday. We made it til Wednesday. We're halfway there. Are you on the very top of the hump right now? Are you going up the hump or are you coming down the hub? Isn't hump a funny word. Some camels have one hump. Some of them have two. Do you think the Campbells that have two humps can carry more water? If you were going to ride a camel, would you want to sit in between the two humps? Would you want to be on a Campbell? Had had one hump. And if you wanted to be on a camel that had one hump, would you want to sit in front of the hump for in the back of the hump, you might be able to reach your arms around the hump and like hold onto it. Like it's a adult on a jet ski and you're a child. I don't know. I've never written a camel before. I'm just, I'm just asking. I'm just asking. All right. Is that so wrong? Oh, you can see how this one starting out. Can't you, you can see how this is starting out. Yes, indeed. My friends. Let me ask you. Have you ever been attacked by a dog? Have you? I have a couple of times and yesterday I got attacked by two dogs. I know what you're thinking. You should ride lucky George two dogs. Ah, it's not fun. It's not fun, especially. I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm in good shape, but I'm not 22. Okay. You know what? Let me, let me begin at the beginning. Okay. How about that? That's always a good place to start. Imagine walking up a Hill, let's say it's Oh, I don't know. 40 meters from my friends who are on the metric system and a hundred yards for my friends in America. And you're walking up this uneven pavement in low wind ball, hold a 70 pound. Rottweiler comes running towards you. What do you do? What do you do? I'll tell you what you do. The first thing you do is you look back to see how far it is to your, your vehicle. You look back and you see the dog. Speaker 1 (3m 1s): And then in that split few seconds, you make a decision. Should I go back to my car or do I take a defensive posture for me? Luckily I wasn't that far from my vehicle. And I see it's important. Cause you don't ever want to turn your back on a dog. Want to do that unless you're not really in danger. And I wasn't really in danger for this first one right here. So I turned around. I make it back to my view. Not a big problem, not a big problem, but rest assured the customer though. We're supposed to get that package. Yeah. They're not getting that package. I want to help everybody out. But the moment your dog attacks me and you go on the list, you go on the list. I'm sorry. You go on the list. Which brings me to family. Number two. Now this scenario is a little bit different. This one's a little different. Aye. As the delivery driver. No, all the ducks dogs in my area. I know the route. I know the people, but there's this one family. And they have, they have three dogs. Most people abide by the leash law. However, some irresponsible pet owners, they don't think they need to abide by the leash law and a real quick subject here. Anyone who's ever I've been bit by a dog, knows this. The people that own the dog, that bit, the person they always say without fail. My dog never bites anybody, which is bullshit because your dog just bitten me. What you mean to say is my dogs never bitten me. That's what you dummies should say. Don't say my doctor a bit. Anybody it's just been me. Okay. Back to my story. So the first time walking down, another driveway kid grabs his 65, 70 pound sharpei and the dog's teeth are like Highrise getting all nuts. And the dog is wriggling and he wriggles free of the eight year olds. Not the kid's fault. I get it. It's not the kid's fault, but it doesn't change. The fact back to the dog, ran up and began. You know, it was like slow motion. Like I see him coming towards me. This is one where I couldn't run. I couldn't turn. I wasn't going to turn on. I'm too damn slow. I'm too damn white to run. I can't make it. So this time the dog's running at me and this is one, right? It's kind of square up my feet. I got to take my defensive posture. Things kind of slow down and he's running. And as he gets close, I can see like his lips are kind of the top part of his snout is pulled up and I can see the red and his white teeth. And I realized that the dogs about two and a half feet tall, which puts his snout right on par with my balls. And I don't like that. Not one bit. So the dogs running, I'm doing some math in my head thinking this dog two feet tall right there, right at my crotch area. So I grabbed, I grabbed, I had like a little, little ads, kind of like a little mini computer. You know, the things delivered people, you know, the little computer that delivery peopl

It's up, everybody. Did you miss me? I missed you guys. I was thinking about you. How's this whole NLP thing working out for you guys. I'm hopeful that you have taken some time to go through the parts that may have been difficult and do your own homework. There's a lot more, I could get more in depth. However, I'm in some areas I'm trying to leave a few gaps so that you're forced to create your own bridge. If I gave you the entirety of the strategy, I fear that it would be a strategy that doesn't last, right? No one builds things better than those who build for themselves. So let's jump in to a course, three course, three I'm going to call flow. State we've did course one, which is understanding how you think we've done a little bit in managing our mind, figuring out the difference between the way the brain processes, things and how to manage the way we think about them. And this next part is going to be the flow state. Everybody knows what the flow state is. It's when you just, you get in the zone and like, everything is just work in my head. This old mentor that used to tell me, man, George, the Mojo's flowing today, the Mojo's flow. Maybe we would call this the mojo state, mojo flowing kind of like kind of like it, mojo flowing. All right. However, before we get into the flow state, before we get that mojo flowing, we're going to do a little bit more of our intro here. The book from Alice O'Neil Proverbs. This is going to be on substance and appearance, substance and appearance. You ready? I'm excited guys and girls, it's going to be a good one. Today. Substance things are what they are. It is what it is. For instance, however long, a log lies in the water. It never becomes a crocodile. And you don't gather grapes from thorns or figs from thistles nature, abhors a vacuum. Thus, the pebble comes from the mountain and each Bay has its own wind in nature. There's no such thing as a lawn. Even if you try to drive out nature with a Pitchfork, she'll keep coming back. Indeed nature follows its course and the cat, the mouse. So cats don't catch mice to please God human nature is the same. The world over just as the name given to a child becomes natural to it. Perhaps because of this, sometimes a person is nothing and some aren't even that. So never forget. There's a prawn under every rock and to him who watches, everything reveals itself, Appearance. It is widely held that as is the garden. So is the gardener just as there is no smoke without fire, indeed, what you see is what you get. So maybe clothes make the man. In most cases, joining tail to trunk reveals the elephant in the same way that background needs the foreground and every Hill has its Valley. So appear always what you are and a little less for an a flat country. A hillock is a mountain and don't judge a man until you have walked a mile in his shoes, as it takes all sorts to make the world and all shoes are not made in the same batch. Indeed different ponds have fish. Remember appearances are deceitful and looks are nothing. Behavior is all. And since the eyes are the window of the soul, what the eye doesn't see the heart doesn't grieve. Disguises never judge a book by its cover for a cowl does not make a monk and pretty close and find faces. Don't make good people. Indeed. A fair skin often covers a crooked mind, perhaps closed do not make the man after all as black soles wear white shirts while they clever Hawk hides its claws and all too often under the SHEEX turbine, there is a monkey water can deceive the diver as well. So don't be a fool. Don't think there are no crocodiles. If the water is still and remember a sweet potato, doesn't advertise that he's tasty just as the tree with most leaves, doesn't always have juicy fruit. It goes without saying that not all white liquids are milk just as not all black objects are cold and a sandal is not a shoe. So look deeper and see that the gray mayor may be the better horse. Despite the fact that a bad horse will eat as much as a good one and watch out there are often glowing embers under cold ashes. Remember eat what you like, but dress as others do goodness whispers, but evil shouts. It's a good one, right? Speaker 0 (5m 43s): It's a good one. Right? All right. Speaker 1 (5m 50s): Let's get into the flow state. Let me see if I can get your mojo flowing. Speaker 0 (5m 57s): Okay. So we're going Speaker 2 (5m 58s): To follow the same path that got a lot of good feedback. We're going to go over each key idea.

My friends we're back. Welcome back. So nice to see everybody, even though I can't really see you, I got my eyes closed and I'm imagining everybody being here. And I hope you guys imagined me smile and thinking about you because I love you guys. So welcome to the only moment that our ever is, the here and the now I'm going to start off with some Proverbs about advice and ignorance. And this is from the book by Alice O'Neill, without any further ado, giving advice, there's no price for good advice, which is why a word to the wise is enough. And he, that speaks sows. Whereas he, that hears reaps leading by example is better than giving advice. So it's often best to say little about what you know, and nothing about what you don't for. No matter how much care is taken, someone will be misled for many of the truth hurts as good medicine is bitter to the tongue. Good advice as harsh to the ear, which is why, if you would advise a bear, you deserve your fate. And many people use a stick for a nobody and a hint for a nobleman. A fool may say do, as I say, not as I do, but even a fool can give ideas to a wise man. And remember, never give advice in a crowd heating advice. He asks advice in vain, who does not heat it. So ask for what you want. Don't offer me advice. Give me money. Forewarned is forearmed. They say so learn from new books and old teachers. And if you can't read, then experience will show you while they master points the way remember it's shameful, never to ask, and it's better to ask twice. Then lose your way. Once as he who seeks advice, seldom airs many. A young Prince is told that listening to good advice is the way to wealth for a King with good counselors has a peaceful reign often because deep calls to deep. One piece of good advice is better than a bag full and crafty advice often comes from a fool. Bear in mind that another person's counsel is no command and that you must examine the advice not who gives it. Remember if you ask a lazy person to work, he will only give you advice. But if you're lucky, you'll find the best advice is on your pillow. And the best word is left unsaid for all that is known, is not told ignoring advice. Only a bald child will not take advice. Only a bald child. Oops, let me rewind that only a bad child will not take advice for those nuns. So death, as those who won't hear, and there's none so blind as those who won't see yet, no enemy is worse than bad advice because if the blind lead, the blind both will fall into the ditch, particularly as advice most needed is least heated. Of course, the person on shore is always the champion swimmer and many will show you the way after the Cartwheel breaks. Remember there is no right way to a wrong thing and advice after mischief is like medicine after death. So bear in mind that wise men don't need advice and fools won't take it. So why not go to the square and ask advice, then go home and do what you like. I like it. I like it. It's a good way to start it off. It's a good way to start off this next class and neural linguistic programming. I'm going to call this class two a Speaker 1 (4m 14s): Let's call it Speaker 0 (4m 16s): A mind management. Why not? Why not? So what we're going to do here is I'm going to give you guys some key points and in true NLP fashion, I'm gonna use the power of three. So I am going to give you the key point. We're going to break it down. Then I'm going to show you how to use it in a defensive posture. And then I'm going to show you how to use it in an offensive posture. And just so we know what those are. Let me go ahead and unpack that a little bit more for you before we really get started. Speaker 1 (4m 58s): What the heck is this guy Speaker 0 (4m 59s): Talking about an offense and defensive posture? I thought we were learning NLP. Well, we are, we aren't learning it, but it's imperative that you learn it in the defensive posture first. And what I mean by defensive is that you understand how these linguistic structures and these techniques hit you. All of the defensive posture, you must learn how all the techniques make sense to you. How the linguistic pathways affect you, the feelings, the emotions, all of it, that's all connected. And that's the defensive posture. You need to learn how, how you are affected so that you can see how other people are affected so that you can see the emotions that the other people might feeling so that you can use a little bit of what I call tactical empathy, right? That's going to be the orphans of posture, how you use these techniques against other people, but it's im

Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USOne on One Video Call W/George https://tidycal.com/georgepmonty/60-minute-meetingTranscript:Speaker 1 (0s): I'm here. Speaker 2 (21s): We were discussing an article about empathy and its impact on the environment. Speaker 1 (26s): You know, that article was something I, I came across just in trying kind of to do what you do, kind of trying to find like how can we make connections and help people understand, like, people we talk about compassion and empathy, sympathy all in the same kind of realm. And we really think about it from a humanistic kind of standpoint. All are kind of different. They're not necessarily the same, even though they get clumped together. And so I was trying to find something that just to share, you know, that we could say, okay, actually all of these things are vital or important in nature as well. Right? And so whether it's, it's, we're thinking about land or the ocean or wildlife, it doesn't really matter when we, human behavior is really a component that's really impactful on our surroundings. And so that article is actually pretty intense. I thought when he's talking about vultures, which is really interesting, cause we all think it's just being these demonic, evil animals with like, why should we protect Folgers or take care of them? Well, they're a part of a larger ecosystem, but you know, it's that mental, that process that we have from young age that we see these crazy, really scary animals on the side of the road, eating the roadkill and they're doing their part. But we think it's really horrible that that article is, you know, he talks about too, at the end of it, logging in and different things that humans think we're doing the right thing to S to save our planet or planting trees, because we think that that's going to help the carbon footprint, which it is. But if we're planting trees that we're just going to cut down in three years for timber, that kind of defeats the purpose. Right? So that's why I thought that article would be at least good for us to base a conversation on a little bit. Speaker 2 (2m 12s): I thought the article was fascinating and I really liked how the author of the article gave the distinctions and empathy. It made me realize the impact that empathy has on our behavior about our surroundings and the people we love and our relationships. Speaker 1 (2m 32s): Yeah, yeah, it does. And that is, I mean, we can put ourselves, we can say, Oh, I can put myself in that person's shoes. I've never experienced whatever they're going through right now at this point in time. Right. And there's a difference where you have a sense of empathy. When you can say, I have the same feelings, I have similar feelings, I've had this, I can understand where they're coming from and what they're doing, the difference between. And I'll go to compassion real quick is that compassion is like, you want to actively remove that suffering from that person. Right. And that's what you start looking for when we think about empathy and it's not really an action. So to speak, it's more of, we, we feel this inside of us. And then how can we take that into a different realm where we're going to say, okay, if this is how I feel, and it's not happening to me, what is it doing to the people that's affected? Whether it's one person, whether it's a whole society, whether in our, in my line of work, it's the world around me and what role do I play in that? How can I make a difference? Or how can I make a change being one person? Does it really matter? Every time I go to the beach, I pick up rubbish. Maybe when people see me doing it and start acting the same way. I don't know. But when you talk about altruism, then it's kind of like, okay, so how, how do we get people to actually like internalize that we don't, that's a paradigm shift that's gotta be made in society. I think, I don't know that people are that conscious. Unfortunately, Speaker 3 (4m 13s): What are some effective tools we can use to change behavior about conservation? Speaker 1 (4m 17s): I think modeling behavior. I mean, when you go out and you're around people being mindful of your actions and what you're doing and knowing that people are always watching what you're doing. I mean, we live in a small world now with technology. I don't know if you saw our friends in the mainland, one of those, but the kids that took a trampoline up to stairway heaven, right? They might, they muscled this thing up there and they're getting a bunch of flack for it. Like, are they born and raised on why? Like, why would you do that? Well, because it's fun. And they wanted the, you know, Instagram theater, whatever they wanted, but the people who are standing by, well, they're not local that, well, they're not necessarily thinking back to maybe things they would have done as they were growing up to have fun and to get that higher, to get their friends.

All my friends, Hey guys, doing that there. I missed you yesterday. I was thinking about you. I was like, I wonder what everybody's doing. I wonder if they miss me cause you know what? Dammit, I miss you guys. I miss you guys, man. But I have a little time to think yesterday. And I've been going down the deep dark rabbit hole, the deep, the rabbit hole of technology rising in the pathway of supply chains and mapping the future of global civilization. And I've been getting into that book, Parag, Conner, and I've been comparing and contrasting it with Patrick Wood. And I came up with a little bit of analysis and I just want to run it by you guys here and to let you know what I think, I think that what you're seeing right now is the inevitable clash of civilizations between the United States and China. It's a clash of cultures. It's a clash of ideas. It's a clash of governing. It's a clash of leadership styles. I think there's something called the acidities trap. And that is when a young power is coming up and will soon take the place of the older power, much like the U S did to Britain. And if you go back in history, you can look that up and check it out. So I know most people can't see this, but you can listen to it. So I will work hard and try to describe exactly the maps that I saw so that I can paint you a mental picture of them. Hopefully there'll be clear if you close your eyes to think of a map of China for all my friends in Europe, and this will be way easier for you than my friends in America. Alright. That means to all my friends in America, but to step your game up, but to start checking out a globe, I'm just playing. I can talk a little shit to you guys, cause I love you. Okay. So close your eyes. Think of China and then think about the coast of China and then draw with your finger. A small circle around all the little cities. Well, they're not so little, but all the cities along the coastline of China, they're like their own entities. The cities in China, that economic model is a lot like the States in the United States, except they're based on the city model. That would mean that the governor of that city is a lot like the president has a lot more authority and is governed by looser laws. As long as you achieve the goal that is set forth by the governing body of the nation, you're free to utilize whatever methods you need to use in order to accomplish that goal. Now close your eyes and think of the United States. You can think of all the different States and all the lines that are crossed and Speaker 1 (3m 32s): States are a lot larger than cities, especially Speaker 0 (3m 40s): In the United States because the United States is so vast and so big. There are some States that are not economic powerhouses. There are some States that in fact, don't provide a whole lot of economic resources to the whole. And on the flip side, there are some States that are like the seventh largest economy in the world. But what's important to think about is how each country has divided up the authority in the U S we have the president congresses, but each state is its own entity in China. They have the mega city model. And I'm going to argue that the mega city model is in fact, the preferred method for technocratic government and that you're seeing something like that happen in the United States. I wrote a little bit on this subject. I'd like to read that to you now. I think what you're going to see in the U S is like a devolution from nation to Federation, to mega city economic model. For some time, the politicians wall street and media has spoken about a potential financial crisis. We know that the trade war between the U S and China is quickly escalating. I often think that if history has a way of not necessarily repeating, but rhyming that the linguistic pathway of a trade war, currency, war, and world war may be on the horizon for the last few decades. The term globalization was thought to be the answer to our planet's most pressing issues. The social engineer's sought to structure our planet like a giant corporation. One in which the top 1% could whipsaw the labor of third world nations against one another forever. Cutting the cost while increasing productivity, a diverse group of economic minded executives from all countries found themselves cloaked in the Gildan golden robes of greed, a bonded brotherhood who could not conceive that their demise was built into the very foundation on which they stood. Allow me to further explain some of the maps that I had previously talked about and give my opinion on the current economic crisis. In the first image, that's the one we spoke ab

Good morning. My friends hope you had a great weekend. We're back here on Monday. Just getting ready to start this week off the right way. Hope you guys had a great weekend. You guys do anything fun. You get to hang out a little bit. I got to interview a really amazing guy that if you look at the podcast history, you'll see a part one and a part, two of a mr. Adam Lopez, highly. I highly urge you to check it out and check out that guy's a webpage and information. He's an interesting cat. He's one of us. He's one of us man from the back of a cop car to the studios in Nashville. This guys pretty much done it all. And he's got a pretty good philosophy on life as well. So if you haven't checked those out, go back and check them out. So I did that this weekend. Additionally, I had some, some time to think just about the reality of our situation and how crazy this time of year is, especially in an election year. And it just got me thinking about why are things the way they are? Have they always been this way? Are they changing? And I came up, I did a little research on our, on our economic environment. And it's amazing what you can find. If you just take a little bit of time to look and see what's happening, not only in your neck of the woods, but on a global scale in my house, I have like one wall, that's all wallpapered and it's a big map and it's really changed the way I see the world. It's really interesting to wake up everyday and you just see where you are in the world. And then, because that map is on the wall. And because that map is part of your daily routine, when you hear news, or when you hear anything about the world, you're much more tuned into it. Cause you have this visual and it's easier to understand the demographics. It's easy or to understand the supply chains. And I think that's a good segue into what, what it is I want to kind of get into today. And it is about supply chains. It's about supply chains, mega cities, special economic zones, and a sort of new world disorder. You may have heard me previously talk about a book called Connectography with dr. Parag Conner. And I've been revisiting this book. I've been revisiting this book connect Connectography and I think a good companion book with it is technocracy. One is written in the form of a positive view. And the second is written in the form of a dystopian view. And it's really interesting when you read both of these books together, because they talk about similar things. However, they talk about I'm in an orthogonal position. Does that make sense? Like, so they're at odds with each other. It's almost like one is written and then the other is a criticism of it today. I want to give you a little bit more perspective on dr. Pirog Kaunas view of supply chains in the world being connected. The reason I would like to do that is I believe he gives a lot of advice and insight onto what is happening in our world today. So with that being said, let me, you know what, let me first premise it with this. There's a really large push right now for public private partnerships in our nation, in the United States. And while it may be newer to us, it's not new to the rest of the world. In fact, it is a strategy most commonly used in third world nations. If you read the book, technocracy Patrick Woodville, that's the author of the book. Technocracy he'll describe the public private partnership as akin to Mussolini's fascism. And if you listen to Noam Chomsky, he'll tell you that every single government in the world is fascist. It's just a matter of degrees. So when I think about public private partnerships being from California, I think of the deregulation of the electric companies. That may be one of the first ones I remember cause I was in college when that happened and it was being hailed as a milestone for our government, for our inefficient, inefficient, any effective government to just get out of the way. So private corporations could come in and really make things effective and efficient and better for the people and everyone's going to make money and it's just going to be glorious. However, that's not what happened. Private companies came in and they deregulated and they took over the luxury plans. And for maybe a decade, they made them really profitable. However, they made them really profitable by undermining their foundations. A good way to think about this is to think about that movie Goodfellas, where the guy has a really nice restaurant and Joe Pesci, his character comes in and he just runs up this huge tab. Cause he's a gangster and you know, the owner's afraid of him. So he never makes him pay his tab. Well, eventually the restaurant owner gets fed up and he goes to the mob boss. He goes to Joe Pesci, his boss Pauline. He's like, Hey Paulie, why d

Speaker 1 (5s): Yeah. It seems like that part, I find really interesting. And it's something you would only know if you were in the business, there's so much rich history at clubs that you wouldn't even think or clubs are there. There's so much rich history. If you, if you, if you learn about it, like, you know, how many people have played the whiskey to go go, many people have played, you know, different rooms in San Diego. And it's just like, I had no idea that Juul played there or was like a resident there. And it just, that's just the stuff you would only know if you were in a position like yourself. Speaker 0 (39s): Yeah. And that, that was, that was, that was where it all started. Like the, we were talking about being self-educated for the purpose of furthering, you know, your life's goals. So if you're not going to do it via school or traditional routes, you still have to do it. Right. You still have to put the work in and not just the hands on work of your craft, but you have to know the history of the people that, that, that did it before you, so you know how to connect the dots and how it got to where you are. Speaker 1 (1m 13s): Yeah. You know, it's, it's interesting, like there's this book called tech technically, but in the book, the guy makes the argument much like you did that history to be part of every subject, whether you're going to talk about baseball, guitar playing, or surfing, every sport, every activity has a history behind it. And if you want to succeed in that passion, you're doing, you should know the history of the thing you're learning, right? Yeah. From people before you. Speaker 0 (1m 43s): Yeah. Like I haven't been, this is my first time, like back in California in almost 20 years, like, like, you know, with some roots here. So, but you know, when we were kids, we were surfing and skateboarding. Yeah. I still, I still know my surf history and my skateboarding history and I never, I never really pursued doing any of those professionally. Right. But I love them so much. And I still do that. I couldn't sit here and tell you that I loved them, but then not be able to answer your questions about them. Yeah. Yeah. I feel weird about that. Yeah. You know, so there's, there's things along the way that whether I try to do them professionally or not, if I, if I really truly love them or care about them, I need to learn about it. Right. And more than just the doing of them. Yeah. You know, I still know my baseball history pretty well. You know, when we were kids, we would nerd out on that stuff. Yeah. You know, baseball cards and, and, and reading or watching this week in baseball and learning our history. Speaker 1 (2m 46s): Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm so amazed at like, if you look at where, like North County, San Diego at them, there is so many talented people that came out of there. Like, if you look at the skateboarding industry, the music industry, like just look at the people we went to school with. And like there's some real killers out there. You know what I mean? That just went on to be artists in their own. Right. You know, it's so mind blowing to look back and get up to, I can't believe I used to hang out with them with this guy, this guy's a pro skate or do this guy's a pro surfer or this girl's up. This girl's like, Oh my God, it just naturals paintings. You know, it's like it's. So to me, I feel so inspired and thankful to have got to play a small role in all these people's lives that are so at least to me, important in artistic and it looking back on your life, I hope everyone can look back on their life. And if they don't see it now, I think they will when they're later. But I hope they can all find some inspiration from the people they have an outlet you think of, was there something in the water in San Diego? What was it? Speaker 0 (3m 53s): I feel like it was just the right combination of time and place and, and souls like the right people were there. Yeah. You know? Cause it couldn't, I don't, maybe it could have, I don't know, but I feel like it was, it was meant to be that group of people. Like we were, we were really lucky in that there were cliques and there were groups and all that thing. But there was like this inner circle that was bigger than all those little cliques. Right. Where we all had one foot in one circle and one foot in the other circle.

Click the above link for info & dates.Transcript:https://app.podscribe.ai/episode/48488076Speaker 0 (0s): Yeah, it's up everybody. We've got something special plan right now. We got the one and only Adam Lopez coming on. Pretty excited. I, I haven't seen this cat for a while and he's doing big things, you know, he's doing real big things. So the first time bringing anybody on, so try to set it up the split screen, have a nice interview and a conversation for everybody to check out. Yeah, there he is. Mr. Adam Lopez. What's up, man. You know what man? We were to everybody. That's there's only a few people here right now. I don't mean, I know that it may take awhile for some people to filter in. Right. But for anybody that's just showing up. Now I just briefly talked to Adam and we talked a little bit. I don't want to go too deep. Cause I wanted everybody to get, to see kind of a, how we started, where we started at. And we'll start, we'll talk a little bit about how I know Adam and our friendship, but at the same time, I have so many questions for you. So I'll just start off with Adam and I have known each other for how many years Adam, have we known each other? Speaker 1 (1m 17s): Oh man. Since we were six or seven years old. So almost 40 years. Oh man. It's weird to say, but yeah, almost 40 years, like darn close thirties. 37, 38 years. Speaker 0 (1m 31s): Yup. So we played baseball together. We escaped together. We went to Lincoln and then Rancho. Speaker 1 (1m 39s): Yeah, dude. I'm at the skate park right now. I just got done skating. Speaker 0 (1m 43s): So awesome. I was totally gonna ask. I was like, yo God, we used to skateboard together. So that is awesome to me. I don't mind. I want to just start off by asking you this. And as we move through our lives, people's lives, change their passions change. However you are. One of the only people I know that has apparently continued to skateboard like me, but also you've really worked on your craft as far as being a musician and you stuck with it and you've had some big gains. So how, how, how does that journey changed for you? Like how did it go from the beginning to where you are now? Speaker 1 (2m 24s): Man? That's a, that's a interesting question. I'm not even sure. I know the answer like you talking about like all the changes that people go through and stuff, and I've gone through a lot of change, but I'm doing the same exact things that bring me enjoyment as now at 44 that I was doing when I was five years old. Like basically it seems like everything I learned about what I liked. I learned by the time I was five and then I just kept doing them. I just found, I guess I found a way to, you know, to get paid, to do it so that I could keep doing it. And that, that was the goal. Speaker 0 (3m 3s): You know what, that might be the best definition of success I've ever heard. Speaker 1 (3m 8s): Yeah. You know, and it's, that's, that's where I'm at now is learning to, to appreciate and recognize what I didn't recognize for a long time. Like I, I thought I was maybe not growing up and not doing like real life stuff, but now I realize that, you know, I'd had it pretty good all along. Like I've been really lucky, super fortunate. Speaker 0 (3m 32s): Yeah. I, I, I heard a quote one time that said your first, 40 years is the experience you get. And then the next 40 years is you interpreting that experience, you know? And when you say that, you know, I think we're another one. One of the greatest things that people can do is to see themselves the way other people see them. You know, we, all of us tend to be critical of ourselves. Oh, am I doing this right? Am I not growing up? You know, or am I, am I being a responsible, but the truth is it doesn't really matter. What other people think about you. It matters what you think about you. Speaker 1 (4m 9s): Right? Right. There's a, there's a quote about, you know, it's not your business. What other people think of you? I love that. And I wrote a song about that actually. Okay. And it's kind of silly, but I wrote it anyway. Why wouldn't you? Right. I mean, yeah, Speaker 0 (4m 30s): This, this leads up to something that I've always wondered about. I think all of us inside are an aspiring artist. You know, some of us were able to really coax out the part of us that is an artist. How is it that you find inspiration to write music? And how is it that you decide to translate that inspir

My friends it's Wednesday also known as hump day, depending on how you want to define hump, that could be a, something on a camel, or it could be an act of lust, maybe. So are you guys all wondering what the answer to the riddle is? Never the little we did yesterday, it was a, what, what is something that not even the strongest man can hold for nine minutes, but is lighter than a feather. I bet you, that was just driving you guys crazy, huh? Well, is there any, any guesses, any guesses? Do you guys think of anything? The answer is your breath because no one can hold their breath for nine minutes and it's lighter than a feather. I was talking to a friend of mine yesterday who was asking me about the podcast and what I'm going to talk about. And he says, Hey, you ever talk about conspiracies? And I said, I talk about them all the time, but I've yet to really kind of get in depth on any kind of podcast and talk about one. So today my friends, we're going to step out onto the Wu tree. For those of you that don't know the Wu tree, the Wu tree is a lot, think of like a large, like a large tree with all kinds of branches, but the branches as they grow longer, they grow thinner. And my argumentation is like going way out on a thin branch. And the reason that is, is because if you were to go out on a very thin branch, that branch would not be able to, that that branch probably would not be able to hold your weight and it would break. Thus, my foundation for the conspiracies is like the Wu tree. It may not hold up. So let's just, let's just jump in here with both feet and try to cover some ground today. You know, one of my favorite conspiracies is the magic Johnson conspiracy. You know what I mean? Remember that guy? Great basketball player. Number 32. I always think of chick Hearns. When I think of magic Johnson, remember whoever every time they would be about to win. You'd hear chick Hearns, just say, all right, well, it's the jellos jiggling. The eggs are getting hard. The butter's cooling time to put this one in the fridge. Speaker 1 (3m 1s): This game is over. I think it was something like that. The jellos jiggling eggs are cooling and the butter is getting hard time to put this one in the fridge. I miss that guy, but magic Johnson. Remember that when I was growing up, he was a, he was a bad man. I think he's still in the, I think he's in the hall of fame, right? Doesn't he own the Clippers. It doesn't own part of the Lakers now. However, when I was coming up, I was in high school and it was right when they, the AIDS crisis was coming in. And for people that don't know the height of the AIDS crisis, it was considered mainly like a gay disease or a disease for intervening, his drug use users. Those are the two main groups of which the majority of people inflicted with AIDS. That was the tool. Then one day, there's this big press conference and magic Johnson comes out and he says, you know, I knew standing there with his wife and his teammates. And he was like, you know, I just want to let everybody know that I tested HIV positive. And the whole world was like, Whoa, magic Johnson, HIV positive. And it kind of, it was big news. It was big news. It was all over the news channel. No, there's, there's two major conspiracies here. Let's, let's go over the first one. First. The first is that he never had AIDS. He's never HIV positive. He did it as a publicity stunt to draw attention. Okay. And get money to help come up with a cure for AIDS. That's one, one spot. And there's a lot of evidence. Like if it was mainly a disease for gay people and drugs users, I'm sure there's plenty of people that would call magic Johnson bag, but he's not gay. And he never, he never participated in that kind of sexual activity. At least not to my knowledge. He's definitely not a heroin addict. So he's not shooting drugs. However, he I'm sure that that guy got around. Right. I'm sure all of those athletes have a number of women they've had sex with. And that number is probably well into the triple digits. If not quadruple digits, it was kind of odd though. I mean, he's standing up there with his wife talking about, Hey, I got AIDS, you know, the fruit, his wife's gotta be like, well, how did you get that? How'd you get that magic? Oh, you know, I think it was the fifth number five Oh seven. The 507th woman has said was gave it to me. That's another thing like how does a out of the women's stay with all those pros? They just are constantly cheating on, I guess it's the money, right? Anyways. So that's one idea. One idea is that it was a publicity stunt to, to draw attention, to, and get money for the cause. The second conspiracy theory, which I think is much more interesting is that magic Johnson, he was HIV positive. He had AIDS. Now magic Johnson does not have AIDS

Ep 28Radical Change Unleashed: Defying Injustice with Revolutionary Consciousness

E

Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USOne on One Video Call W/George https://tidycal.com/georgepmonty/60-minute-meetingSpeaker 0 (0s): All right, ready to get started guys. It's Tuesday, two for Tuesday. I had a little podcast issue yesterday, so was unable to upload, but I put it out today and we've got another one coming right on his heels. Two for Tuesday, saws, thinking about our society a little bit, a little bit about propaganda, a little bit about social engineering, a little bit about corruption and a little bit about the most powerful force in the world. You guys know what the most powerful force in the world is. The most powerful force in the world is an idea whose time has come. And I think that's what we're up against right now. We are in the midst of a radical change, a radical shift, a shift in ideas, a shift in society, a shift in demographics, a monumental shift in consciousness is what I see happening. I overheard some commentary about police brutality and the writing that's been sweeping our nation. And it seems to me that there at least the propaganda in the media is trying to, you know, yield their weapons of division. And they've, they've established two camps. One is the camp of all the police are horrible. And the other is the camp of the protesters are out of control. The truth is it's somewhere in the middle, right? It's not either. Or it's an, and then another weapon of division they're yielding is the Corona virus. Hey, I don't wear my mask cause I'm not a slave. Or I wear my mask because I care about people. Those are two instances where they're really trying to push the vision amongst the people you got to ask yourself, is it because it's an election year? Is that why there's so much divisiveness? And how come? Why is it that the eruption of chaos is worse than it has been since probably the sixties? Well, I think there's multiple reasons for it. I definitely think that this election year has something to do with it. Have you noticed that there's no debates nor will there be any debates? That's pretty much unprecedented. They don't want people asking questions. They want people fighting each other. They don't want people asking about foreign policy. Speaking of foreign policy, have you guys seen all the, all the explosions in Iran lately? Do you guys know that American troops have secured one third of Syria? I wouldn't be surprised to see a full scale war happen over there. Right? If you look at the last few years, the American people are so sick of war. Every time they try to invade Iran, when we try to send more troops to Syria, the American people had a fit. They're like, no, we're done. Get the hell out of there. But now that we're all worried about COVID. Now that we're all worried about the election. No, one's even talking about the middle East, but there's a lot more action going on in the middle East than there has been for a long time. On another topic of chaos that I have noticed is that, you know, some people think defunding the police is going to work. Some people think sending a check to the masses of people is going to work. I don't think either of those are going to work. I think you should. I think that our police force need to have more money to equip themselves, not with armored vehicles, not with 50 caliber hand cannons, but they should all be like a purple belt in jujitsu. And they should have that kind of training. I think that there should be some sort of freedom dividend. I mean, I don't understand why that American corporations can't give a percentage of the profits to the American people. I'm so sick of the, the rhetoric about all taxes are so high. These corporations, Speaker 1 (5m 58s): It's so hard to do business here. Okay, well then fuck you leave. Get the fuck out of here. So hard to do business here. Oh, it's so hard for us to be an American company. When we go to a foreign country, we send over American troops and have them slaughter and murder the fucking people over there. So we can set up our American business. You fuckers should start paying American people for that. You're doing it in our name. And then you have the audacity to talk about how high your taxes are. When I think about money and corporations and government, it brings us back to citizens United. Does everybody know that that that case citizens United, which made it made the case that speech is money. Money is a form of speech. Therefore people PACS in general can give as much money as they want to politicians. And that opened the door to flat out bribery. We can't, because there's precedent, it would be very difficult to overturn a Supreme court. So we've already established. Our country has established through citizens United. That money is speech, but you do you know that? I think there's an Avenue we could explore. We can't overturn the court's decision. That money is speech, but speech is open for interpretation. So we could, we could maybe file

Good morning, Monday, Monday, Monday, Monday. Well, you be go start another week, right? I'm going to try to be like a James Brown and get on the good foot. Right? Remember that song gotta get on the good foot. How'd you guys. We can do anything fun. I did. I did some cool stuff. I did some cool stuff. I got some time to think about a few things about, about our place in this world about interacting and transitioning and learning. Maybe judging, maybe some empathy. It seems to me that right now, our country, our world is in a pretty big transformation. In fact, when you start thinking about that, you go, yeah, there's a lot of things changing right now, but isn't that always the case. Isn't things always changing. It just seems that now things are changing at a pace that has picked up steam. And it's hard to, it's hard to understand where you're supposed to go. Unless you have a map it's hard to understand the right place to be at. Unless you have a guide it's difficult to know where you're going to end up, unless you can study about history or you can, unless you can understand where people before you have been in the same situation and what they've done. It also seems to me like there's a pretty big gap in demographics and, and intergenerational ideas. So what I mean by that is that people who are in authority positions tend to be, especially now, there seems to be a really big gap between like those people run in for mayor right now in Hawaii that are 90 years old, 75 years old. And while I'm not, I'm sure those people have a lot of good ideas. However, I'm not sure that there are, there are in touch with what the youth of today want the world to look like in the future. And it seems to me Speaker 1 (3m 0s): That you know, what, what it seems to me that a lot of the older generation, you know, they're living longer and they're, they're healthy. And they, they want to contribute to the world. They want to make their Mark. They they're beginning to think about their legacy and they, they want there to be a little bit of some of the great things in the future that was in their life. And so they're trying to make those things happen by clinging to power and staying in roles of leadership and, and leveraging their finances and their authority to stay in positions of power. And I think it's detrimental to the society at this point in time because the youth don't want what a lot of the older generation ones, you know, my, my nephew he's 10 years old and he was talking to his mom the other day. And he, this is what he told. This is what he told her. He says, mom, I don't understand why the people got to go and work so much and have so little, you know, why, why is it that corporations just don't hire twice as many people and give half the people six months off. And then the other people have six months off and you can, I mean, on some levels, it's a naive perspective, but it's pretty beautiful, right? Why not? Why not allow people the freedom to be creative? Why not allow people to have the ability to explore their inner nature and explore their own dreams. Now you can say, Oh George, when no one has to work for anybody, you're free to go out and explore and start whatever you want. Yeah. Kind of, kind of, but you don't get to pick who your parents are. You don't get to pick where you're born at. And if you come from a family that has it as well to do, it's much easier to go out and start something. Then if you come from a place of poverty, however, I'm kind of getting away from myself a little bit. I think that there's a, a road we could take where the older generation could maintain a high level of relevance and also, and also create a better place international bond. And I think we're missing in our society is like a Rite of passage. If you study like a lot of the Indian cultures and a lot of other cultures, you know, like in the South American culture is like a girl turns 15 and she has like a keen scene yet. All right, well, she becomes a woman like the Jewish boys have the bar mitzvah, come on, man. Some of the Indian culture, they had like a vision quest where they would go the men and they would, they would go out for their first hunt or they would be exposed to some sort of mind altering situation where it was signified that they were brought in to the next level of their life. And I don't think kids have that today. No, you could argue that the college experience is a of, but if that's the case, then not enough of our kids are getting the Rite of passage. And that's something that the older generation could do. They could develop a set. They could, we could develop as a society. As older generations, we could develop a Rite of passage that would simultaneously show the child. Hey, you've become part of the group. Now your roles have c

No one is having more fun than we are right now. I'm on my way to work. It's a beautiful day. Got us some coffee. Just trying to organize my Savage thoughts of the day you ever have. 00:00:370 Like just some like sometime, Oh man. Sometimes I think to myself, the way other people describe us may be eerily accurate. And in this instance I was thinking about Nick cannon and I got, I got to tell you, I want to say thanks to that guy. I don't really agree with a lot of the stuff you said, but the guy spoke his mind. 00:01:100 It may not be a solid foundation for an argument that I would put together. But the guy said what he thought was true. And he, he stands by it, man. You got to like it got to like it. And it makes me think about, you know, different races and different colors and different, you know, just different people have different ideas about other groups of people, You know? 00:01:420 And it doesn't mean they're wrong. It just means from where that particular person is standing, this is how the world looks. And if you want to get into like the Buddhist mindset, everybody, you are everyone. You, yeah. You, the guy, you, you young lady, you little young, sir, you are everyone. So everything you hear is an opinion about how you look from a different point of view. 00:02:150 I know that's a, it's a mouthful, but if you take time to dissect, it it'll make sense. And so like, if you think about Nick cannon gon these white people are savages. You know, a lot of people get mad and they're like, Hey, dammit. I'm not a Savage. You're a Savage. No, you're a set. No, you're a Savage. Like, just see, I don't look at it like that. Like I, I look at it like, okay, from where that guy is standing, his life experiences have taught him that, you know, these, some of these, I don't know. 00:02:490 I think he said white people were savages. And from where he's standing from his life experience, that is his truth. There's nothing wrong with his truth. Does it have to be your truth? It's his truth. But it got me thinking, you know, I think to myself like, Hm, you know, initially when you're younger, you, you get upset when someone says something because you think that they're, you think it's a, an ad hominem attack just leveled at you, but it's not. 00:03:210 It's just his truth. So I try to think about it objectively. And I'm like, are white people savages? And it, you know, what about Randy macho man Savage was that guy as Savage. That guy was definitely a Savage. Oh snap. And his LinnDrum is Elizabeth, right? His name was Randy macho, man Savage. And he was a white guy. 00:03:510 But how about in other areas are white people savages? Well, let's, let's think about criminals. Let's think about, I that's kind of a loaded term. Like we're all kind of criminals. However, let's look at the people that are incarcerated for crimes that are major. What if there was an award for best criminal bank robber who would win that? 00:04:240 It wouldn't be Willie Orton, even though that guy has a great line of, Hey Willie, why do you Rob banks? Because that's where the money is. It's where the money is. The best bank robbers are people like CEOs of banking companies. That's a great bank, Robert, because he doesn't see, he's taking his time to realize you can't break in the front door and hold up a squirt gun to a teller and ask for some money. 00:04:560 You don't get that much money, but if you infiltrate the system and take it over, you could take all the money. This is a way better way to Rob an institution. I don't condone robbing, even though I'm a Savage. But if you look at the people in positions of authority that commit white collar crime, I would argue that a large percentage of them are either white or Jewish. 00:05:380 If you look at serial killers, I think white people, when that one hands down. And if you think about it like that, all of a sudden Nick Cannon's ideas about savages kinda make sense. You know, even like I can't experience life from a different person's perspective, however I can pretend to. And so, you know, I look at myself as like, I think to myself, like I'm kind of a Savage, like I think crazy shit sometimes, especially if I'm tired or if like I'm a mad at something like sometimes I think a funny Savage, like I got to go every day at work. 00:06:280 I have to go through like this metal detector. And it's so asinine because the reason I have to go through the metal detector is because the people at my work are afraid. I'm going to come in with a gun and kill him. That's the main reason you have to go through

Hey, guess what? It's Thursday. It's Thursday. Everybody was so close to the weekend. We're so close, man. We're like at the one checkpoint away, prepare to qualify. Hey guys, feeling out there. Cause feeling good another day. And the next day of your today's the next day of your dream life. I don't know what the hell does that even mean today is the next day in your life. That sounds a little bit more on point, right? I guess that's at least honest. I've been doing a lot more thinking about social engineering and I want, I want everybody to read. I read these books. I want people to read the book. Well, propaganda by Edward Bernays. I want people to read the book. Never split the difference by boss. I want people to read the book, nudge by Cass, Sunstein and Richard Thaler. I want people to read the book Pre-Suasion by Cal beanie only after reading these books. Can you truly understand the dangerous beauty of propaganda only after truly understanding the mechanisms of action, which we truly think about things. Can you begin to manipulate things? And if you're listening to this podcast that I got to think that you share a curiosity and a, a unique affinity for manipulation, especially once you realize you've been being manipulated your whole life, what you think about God, what'd you think about family? What you think about race, what you think about school and education and family and gender and orientation. Like these are only the rare few people who take time to go through the books and go through the annals of history. Can truly understand the level of manipulation that's happening. And I don't really claim to be one of those people I'm learning. I mean, just like everybody else, I got to tell you though, there's times where the more time you start reading these books and then you just get blinds signed it like blindsided by something happens and it's man, it makes you want to cry almost like you can see the systematic district over our society happening right in front of our eyes. And I don't know if it's something that's been planned or if it's just the fact that the social engineers got lazy or if, no, maybe it's the it's like in the Qur'an instead of, you know, the Sunni Shia split, right? The reason those two groups fight each other is because one group believes that that the direct descendant of Muhammad should have been the leader. And the other group believes that the law Tom is number one confidant. And the reason I bring that up is the people in charge of power today. Instead of handing off the torch, just the most capable people of being in charge, they handed it off to their families and I get it. I got a family, man. I mean, who doesn't want their family to be better. And I guess that kind of brings up a, that brings up a, an interesting point. Are you going to hand it off to your kid or are you going to hand it off to them? The person that can move the ball forward? I don't think anybody really knows until you get to that point where you have to decide. So, but the propaganda is a, I want to, I want to try and be the guy that pulls back the curtain on the wizard of Oz. Remember that movie, the wizard of Oz, all powerful. It can do anything, but when you pull back the curtain, it's like a little short Rumpelstiltskin, that's greedy and selfish and ugly. And it's just been corrupted by power greed. And I think you can do, I think that now more than ever, it's easier to see the people driving the wedge between us. It's important to think about over the last year or a couple years, the powers or the media. Let's just say the media, the propagandists, the media, how they've been fanning, the flames of divisive tools like racism, group identity and equality. I'm not saying they don't exist. I'm not saying they don't exist. What I'm saying is that by the media constantly talking about it and constantly putting a huge spotlight on cases where it happens. It makes both groups, the group in question, and the other groups, whether they be perpetrators or victims, it makes those two groups at odds and it makes both groups easily. Manipulatable. Does that make sense? The purpose of the media is not to inform you. It is to control the way you think it's an invisible. The purpose of propaganda is to be an invisible government that forms your thoughts. It forms your tastes and it forms your worldview. Right? I think about it. So many of us are so busy. We got families, we have problems in relationships. We have problems with money. We have problems with work. We have problems with com

How cultural differences can and are exploited for profit. We ask the difficult question of do women who get giant butt implants need special toilets so there cheeks don’t hit the ground?Speaker 0 (0s): Well, good morning. How are you? My friends feeling pretty good today. It's Tuesday. You got to, is it taco Tuesday for some of you? Is it a two drink Tuesday? Is it a I'm too tired to go to work Tuesday. That's always a good one. Right? Well, whatever. However you want to describe it. It's definitely Tuesday and I hope I hope the sun is shining where you are. I hope the birds are singing and I hope you know that I am thinking about you man, or ladies thinking about you. I hope you have a great day today. Oh, so I was thinking about what kind of interesting topic can we get into today. And it led me to think about kind of my predicament a little bit tonight. I'm going to tell you a little bit about my understanding of culture. I'm going to tell you about a class. I took about culture, and I'm going to tell you some hopefully interesting and humorous stories about how I, the ugly American, the white truck driver has made a lot of mistakes about culture. And then I'm gonna try to apply that to today's environment. So it's going to be a little embarrassing for me probably, but those are usually the best stories. So I grew up in California, Southern California, and it was predominantly, mostly a kind of a, kind of a white culture with like kind of Hispanic, kind of white, Hispanic culture is where I, I of grew up in between, which is pretty limited, right? It's pretty limited. I learned to speak Spanish. I lived in Mexico for awhile as I got older. However, even that just knowing those two cultures is not, it's like a drop in the bucket. Okay. So fast forward until the age of 29, I moved out to Hawaii and I don't know if any, I know a lot of you have been to Hawaii. There's probably some of you that have not been to Hawaii. Some of my friends I've been talking to from the Eastern blocks, what's up Bulgaria. What's up. Who's Becca, Stan. What's up with my friends over there, man. I'm super stoked to have you guys over there. What's up Ukraine. I got a big team in the Ukraine now. I love you guys, man. Thanks for listening. And so, so I moved to Hawaii and in Hawaii, Hawaii is a real melting pot in that there was a, a really large Asian influence. And by that, I mean, you have people from the Philippines, you have Japanese people, you have Chinese people, you have Micronesian people, you got white people, you got black people, you got some Mexican people, but a really big influx from, from East Asia. And now here's where, so, so I come out to Hawaii and I've, you know, I've, I had never been here before. And gosh, this is going to sound. It's probably going to sound pretty ignorant. However, you have to be ignorant before you learn. And so while it's going to be funny, it's kind of hard for you to tell it. Cause I it's the truth though. When I came here, it was difficult for me to tell, tell the difference between someone from the Philippines and someone from Japan. Now I know to my, to my Japanese friends and my Filipino friends like there's is looking at me like, Oh my God, you are such a white guy. You can't tell the difference between a Chinese person and an, an a Japanese person. You know, I was, I was out at work one day and my boss asked me, he says, George, this package went to the wrong place. You said you gave it to a man. What did the man look like? And so I'm trying to explain to my boss, who's a Filipino guy, awesome guy. I go, Oh, he is a, he looked Asian and he's like, well, was he, what was he Japanese? Was he Chinese? What did he look like? And I'm like, I don't know. I can't tell the difference. And for, for my Asian friends, I know you're laughing, but for all the, for all the whities out there, I bet you a big percentage of you would have that exact same, that exact same situation happened. But hold on my Asian friends because the shoe fits on the other foot. So at my work a few months later, I'm walking around and there's another white guy in there. I didn't even know this other white guy. And he's way bigger than me. He's like six, two doesn't even look like me. And this young Filipino kid comes in and I'm talking to this other white guy. I'm like introducing myself to him. And this Filipino kid comes over and goes, Hey, are you guys related? And it kind of hits me like, Oh, it's not just me being a dumb white guy. It's p

How's everybody feeling out there, guys. Enjoy your weekend. Did you have a, do anything special? Hanging out with the family, have a couple drinks, maybe have too many drinks on Friday, too many drinks on Saturday. You get up and go to church on Sunday. What'd you guys do anything fun? Oh, I'm just checking in on you guys. You know what I love you. You know, I haven't seen you for a couple of days and wanting to start this week off the right way. Give you guys something, hopefully to laugh about something, to think about so much tragedy going on right now. So much chaos. It kind of got me thinking it got me thinking about how in times of chaos in times of absolute uncertainty, you can find, I think you can find some pretty good humor. You can find that little golden nugget of comedy. And I want to give you an example of something that happened to me back when I was a young buck, I was probably, I don't know, let's say 17, 17 year old George Monte working at a pizza place. And it was up it's called ProQuest pizza, man. Some of you guys know upper crust pizza. They make a phenomenal pizza. This Italian guy, Frank DeStefano runs it. It was like a happening spot man. And like Frank would hire a bunch of kids. And when I say kids, I mean, you know, everywhere between 15 to like 26 and it was, it was, it was popping there, man. And it was all the, it kind of reminded me of you guys from that show happy days. And they, they would all go to like Al's diner, wasn't Al's diner, you know, were Fonzie would hit the jukebox and you'd be like, Hey, the music would come on. But all the kids would go there is what I'm trying to say. It was like, it was the happening hangout. And especially Fridays and Saturdays, like Fridays and Saturdays, it would just be packed in there, like standing room only. And just so, because everybody's listening to this, I'm going to try to give you some dimensions. So you would walk, you, you would drive up and then you would walk in the glass doors and you would tell the glass, you would go in the double glass doors on your right hand side would be a takeout window with a cash register. And then straight ahead of you would be the dine-in register about 10 feet from the door. And then you would follow all the way down the corridor. And there would be a bar where you would get your drinks, you know, be it soda or beer or wine or, or whatever. And then it opened up and like a really big dining room that probably had an occupancy of maybe 230 people. So it was a relatively large place, had a big screen TV and just think of your local pizza joint, man. Everybody's got a pizza joint in their, in their town or at least they did when I was growing up and this pizza place, it wasn't in a really bad area, but it wasn't in like a, a great area. It was kind of an older part of town. And it just so happened that that place got robbed a couple of times. And it just so happened that I was there two times it got robbed. And I don't know if anybody has ever been held at gunpoint before, but it can be kind of traumatic. It can also be kind of humorous. I know what you're thinking. It doesn't sound very funny. And it wasn't funny at the time, but looking back at it, there was some funny things that happened. So the first time, the first time was like on a Wednesday night and there was a three man closing crew. It was me, my friend ward and the manager, Frank de Stefano, and anybody who's ever worked in like a restaurant business knows that like right before, you're about to close. We were closing at 10 o'clock and like we were wiping down the counters and we're putting stuff away and doing the dishes. And, you know, there was only three people there. And so it turned out that Frank, he was in the very back part of like the, a, he was actually working on dishes back there. We had the industrial dish cleaner and that kind of stuff. And he took it upon himself just to be the dish guy for that night. I was wiping down like the counters and cleaning up all the dough and you know, putting stuff away and ward, he was out mopping the floor. So he was out in the game room. And the game room I forgot to mention is right. When you walk into double doors, instead of turning to the right to the cash register, you would take a left and you'd walk down about 20 feet. And there would be a game room that had like, I don't know, maybe 10 arcade games in there. And so about nine 50, nobody in the building, nobody there I'm wiping down. I'm ready to close. Get out

Ep 22Drugs & the Creative Process: How Altered States Ignite Human Genius

Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USOne on One Video Call W/George https://tidycal.com/georgepmonty/60-minute-meetingSpeaker 0 (0s): Okay. So being Friday, what, what are people a lot of people do on Fridays, they celebrate get ready for the weekend. Maybe they have a few beers. Maybe you start your day out with a cup of coffee in the spirit of caffeine and in the spirit of booze and in the spirit of changing your consciousness. I thought today we would talk a little bit. What about drugs? Right? We all do them. We all do them. Pick your poison. They say, what's your favorite poison? It's a good question. It's a good question. But I don't want to talk about just any kind of drug today. I thought we'd talk about a new type of drug that's been on the market for a while. And that type of drug, I guess, would be classified as no tropics in Oh, O tropics. No. Oh, tropics. And what this family of drugs claims to do is to make you smarter. Think about that kind of abstractive first you think of what there's a drug that makes me smarter. I know how that works. Well, let's start with some of the drugs we know that people use that may make them a little bit smarter. Yeah. And try and think about the mechanism of action that would make them smarter. First off you want to think about writers like Stephen King and Christopher Hitchens and all these, all these writers. At least when I was growing up, they were pretty big smokers. And what is the, what is the drug? And in of choice of smokers, usually nicotine, right. And nicotine is almost like a neurotransmitter. And if you listen to some, I think there was a, I think that there was a interview with Stephen King Ray talked about how much he smoked and how, when he was writing and he would smoke a lot. And if you've never been the smoker or you never had a seat, you're right. You're probably like, dude, that's just, that's just disgusting. And you're right. Cigarette smoking is pretty gross. However, it, it definitely does something to you. You know, at first it can give you like a bus. Like when you first start smoking cigarettes, you you'd get like a nicotine buzz. But then after a while it's more of like a common sensation. So it's definitely flooding part of your brain. The nicotine goes in action, like some sort of a neurotransmitter and stuff, simulates parts of the brain, which seems to lead to a more creative process. So you could say that nicotine while ultimately bad for your health. Well, I don't know if nicotine's bad for, you know, smoke is definitely bad for your health active ingredient that leads to creativity and cigarettes is nicotine. And while smoking is bad, nicotine may be an agent of creativity. So there's one caffeine, right? Again, people that tend to, well, how many people wake up and have a cup of coffee in the morning? I don't know if that makes you more creative, but it might make you more productive. And I think you could argue that that is a level of intelligence that that's kind of an abstract argument. However, you could say that being productive leads you to a better life, which would be a smarter way of, I know that's kind of reaching. So those are a couple of mainstream drugs people use to maybe make their life a little bit better. Not sure smarter. I'm not sure it's smarter. I would say the nicotine may lead to creativity. And then you start getting into today's writers. Like if you look at today's journalists, there's probably a pretty good chance. They're like on Adderall. Adderall is like legal meth. You take Mike, if you take Adderall, I think the, one of the best ways to describe it would be like kind of a clear headed, extremely focused high intensity coffee buzz. But it's almost not fair to describe it that way because the level of focus and the level of energy is, is makes coffee look like having a bite of chocolate. Does that make sense? I hope so. On top of that, Adderall lasts, I don't know, eight hours. You gotta remind yourself. You could say that a lot, the different drugs, they put you into a different state of consciousness, thus, allowing you to see things different than you normally do, right? Nat is what in fact creates the creative process big. Now what seems to do big now is kind of psychedelics. And if you look at say mushrooms, it's magic mushrooms, or siliciden for example, there's a lot of work being done at a John Hopkins right now that they thought a lot of success treating people with PTSD. They have had a lot of success helping people, helping stroke victims. And on top of that, what's awesome about that. Research is a lot of it is public. It can, you can see, you can read the reports and you can look at the brain mapping technology. They've used to see kind of what's happening in the brain. And according to some research that I read, it's a lot of, it's a lot big words. And it's a lot of so stuff that you really have to kind of like you start reading something, right? I di
