We all find ourselves challenged emotionally in our lives. But for some, the darkness becomes extreme. Depression is real, and many do not understand how to break out of it.

We all find ourselves challenged emotionally in our lives. But for some, the darkness becomes extreme. Depression is real, and many do not understand how to break out of it.
D. Neil Elliott is one such individual who found himself contemplating suicide, but ultimately was able to break free by following a specific set of concepts and steps.
Transformation occurs as we are able to understand the “human ego” and following a 7 step program to happiness, joy and peace.

10
00:00:36.479 --> 00:00:40.039
you've done with those accomplishments. It's about who you've lifted up,

11
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:43.640

Neil, welcome to the show.

16
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.159
Oh, thank you so much. It's a pleasure to be here.

17
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.000
Well, and I really appreciate it. You know, you you've

18
00:01:04.079 --> 00:01:05.680
You've done a lot of things in your life, and

19
00:01:05.719 --> 00:01:08.280
you've obviously written this incredible book, and you have an

20
00:01:08.319 --> 00:01:11.519
amazing story. I'd love for you to share the audience

21
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.640
who you are and what brought about your writing this book,

22
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.760
and you know, feel free to share some of those experiences.

23
00:01:20.239 --> 00:01:25.640
Absolutely so, D Neil Elliott. The d's just initial for

24
00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:28.159
my first name, too, different me on the author on

25
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:33.040
the internet. So who am I? Well, I am like you.

26
00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:38.120
I'm a spiritual being having a human experience, okay, and

27
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:43.640
I agree with that. And but from a human perspective?

28
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:48.200
Who am I? Professional engineer MBA? You know, manage projects

29
00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.920
in the corporate world for you know, over thirty years,

30
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:54.640
small and large, you know, multimillions, and you know, a

31
00:01:54.640 --> 00:02:00.920
few hundred thousand and married twice, second marriage, you know,

32
00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:06.359
three kids combined, five grandchildren sixth one at the end

33
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:14.479
of this month perhaps, and what else you know, I,

34
00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:18.159
like everybody else, got into kind of following the corporate world,

35
00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:19.680
and you know, you do what you have to do

36
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.639
to be able to survive and navigate through this world.

37
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:28.120
And as we and as we do that, we you know,

38
00:02:28.159 --> 00:02:30.439
we kind of lose, we lose who we really are

39
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:36.039
and we become this a traumatron almost, you know, kind

40
00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:39.319
of just trying to fit in and trying to work

41
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.400
and trying to navigate our way through the world and

42
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:48.319
lose sight of, you know, kind of things that perhaps

43
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.879
we should be focused on bottom line. You know, got

44
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:57.240
really depressed, suicidal, and then I had a spiritual awakening

45
00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:01.800
and it's just been this. So I was fifty seven

46
00:03:01.919 --> 00:03:04.960
fifty eight by the time that happened, and then I

47
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.400
just had this beautiful upward journey since then, and life

48
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.960
is good. And you know, it doesn't mean I don't

49
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.280
have challenges. Of course, we always do as we navigate this,

50
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.680
but you know, I just view the world so differently

51
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:21.319
than I did it before.

52
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.159
Yeah, And you know, you talk about how and someone

53
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.639
uses phrase once before, and I just kind of fell

54
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.520
into it that we're really living a life as an

55
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:35.479
impostor because we're not really living our life. We're living

56
00:03:35.800 --> 00:03:38.439
the life of our parents, of our school, of our religion,

57
00:03:38.759 --> 00:03:41.919
or our society. We're living everything that we think we

58
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:47.639
should be rather than living who we truly are. Would

59
00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:49.439
you say that's a fair accurate statement.

60
00:03:50.319 --> 00:03:53.680
I say that's a fair accurate, fair and accurate statement.

61
00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:58.639
The only thing I would add to that is, you know,

62
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:01.039
it's all designed to work this way for us to

63
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.280
have those experiences to learn and grow and to learn

64
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:09.719
and bring balance back. Uh, you know, balance and masculine

65
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:14.439
and the feminine and you know, we have been subjucated

66
00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:19.879
to this uh you know uh society which has rules

67
00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:24.680
and structure, and we adopted those beliefs and we followed

68
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.040
those beliefs, and look where it's gotten us, you know,

69
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:32.199
globally individually. That's so true.

70
00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:34.959
And you know, you talk about a very sensitive issue,

71
00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:39.040
and that is suicide. And I just had a nephew

72
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:43.920
that that took his life, and I think and I

73
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:47.199
think that it's something that you know, it's probably not

74
00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.319
the main topic we want to talk about today, but

75
00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:52.639
I'd love for you to share with the audience what

76
00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:56.720
feelings were you going through, where you were near that situation,

77
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.560
and then let's talk about what brought you out of that.

78
00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.240
Yeah. Absolutely, you know. So I was working in the

79
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.920
corporate world up until about two thousand and two, and

80
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.720
then I went into business on my own and then

81
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:18.319
became a consultant and very successful in that business. You know,

82
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:20.680
my wife and I, you know, we choose from Germany.

83
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.360
We had great times traveling all those kinds of things.

84
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:26.959
So when I wasn't working, you know, I was having

85
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:28.800
a lot of fun and I love to go out

86
00:05:28.800 --> 00:05:33.600
and see things. But in reality, you know, being a

87
00:05:33.639 --> 00:05:37.000
project manager is really what it is. It's a stressful job.

88
00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.800
It's stress because you're worried about everything. You're trying to

89
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:43.120
mitigate risk all the time, and you're trying to meet

90
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.240
the needs of the client or your bosses if you're

91
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.439
working in an organization and they have high expectations, and

92
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.120
you feel if you don't do well, you know you're

93
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:55.160
going to be reprimanded or let go or whatever it is, right,

94
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:59.000
and so you know you're balancing this all the time,

95
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.839
and you I believed I was doing okay, but really

96
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:06.120
what was happening was I was getting really depressed. And

97
00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.800
I didn't share it with my wife and my family,

98
00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.680
and I just kept it to myself, didn't talk to

99
00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.040
anybody about it, and just you know, we wear this facade,

100
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.439
we project whatever, you know, we want that helps us

101
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:22.519
navigate the world. But inside, you know what you see

102
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.199
and you see how somebody behaves is not necessarily how

103
00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:28.600
they really are, how they're really feeling. True, And so

104
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.439
I was just totally like I got to a point

105
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:34.519
where I no matter what I did, I couldn't get

106
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:37.480
out of this depression. It feels like it felt like

107
00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:42.120
I was working to try and keep up with the

108
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.279
joneses or get ahead of them, so I could show off,

109
00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:49.120
you know, and feel good about myself, you know, achieve

110
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:52.680
a goal, and then after a while it gets mundane

111
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:55.600
and boring. So it so set another goal to achieve.

112
00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.079
Achieve that, you know, by the car, by the house,

113
00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:01.079
by the motorcycle, you know, those kinds of things, and

114
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:06.360
looking externally for all of these things that would fulfill me,

115
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:12.199
you know, that make me happy. And but really what

116
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:16.240
I was doing was I was I was really detaching

117
00:07:16.279 --> 00:07:20.199
myself from who I really who we really are, and

118
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:24.079
just getting more and more depressed. And finally I got

119
00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:26.279
to the point of, what's the point of all of this?

120
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.120
No matter how hard I work, no matter how much

121
00:07:29.160 --> 00:07:31.439
money I make, I can't seem to get ahead. You know,

122
00:07:31.480 --> 00:07:34.319
I'm just I'm just part of that system. Can't seem

123
00:07:34.360 --> 00:07:36.319
to get ahead. You know, everybody, you know, the banks

124
00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:39.040
make a lot of money from me, you know, everybody

125
00:07:39.079 --> 00:07:41.600
else makes a lot of money. I'm working really hard,

126
00:07:42.040 --> 00:07:45.000
as slaving away, and I can't seem to get ahead.

127
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:51.199
And so I just got to this point of I'm done,

128
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.199
you know, like I'm gonna you know, our house finally

129
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.480
sold after being on the market for five years. I

130
00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:59.120
felt my wife would be okay because you know, my

131
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.319
life insurance. I did it in the right way. Life

132
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:06.240
insurance would pay out and she'd be fine financially and

133
00:08:06.920 --> 00:08:10.439
I could just exit without any harm to anybody. Now

134
00:08:10.439 --> 00:08:13.720
that's ridiculous now when I think about it, because of

135
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:15.839
all the people that would be upset about that, But

136
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:21.040
at the time that's how I felt. So yeah, it's just,

137
00:08:21.079 --> 00:08:25.839
you know, it's hard to describe, but just like totally

138
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:29.759
done with life and what happened?

139
00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:32.480
What brought you out of that situation?

140
00:08:34.399 --> 00:08:39.879
Well, the house sold and live in Canada, Western Coast,

141
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.720
West Coast, Canada, and my wife got on a plane

142
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.720
to We're in this little one bedroom mental apartment, you know,

143
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:47.440
the house. We still had to move out and stuff.

144
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:49.799
So about three months way till it actually closed, but

145
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.559
we had this signed deal. My wife got on a

146
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.559
plane to fly to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, to visit family

147
00:08:57.559 --> 00:09:00.000
and friends. I sat down in this little one bedroom

148
00:09:00.080 --> 00:09:06.080
room kitchen table and my suicide crafted my suicide note.

149
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:10.840
And about a week prior to that, some information came

150
00:09:10.879 --> 00:09:15.120
to me in this really fortuitous fashion, and it promised

151
00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:18.200
to liberate me from my thinking. If I studied it,

152
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:20.679
then I followed it, and I thought, well, you know

153
00:09:21.600 --> 00:09:24.080
one last you know, they'll sliver of hope here. I'll

154
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:25.519
give it a go. If it doesn't work, I can

155
00:09:25.519 --> 00:09:30.000
always I can always pull the trigger. And so I thought, okay,

156
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:34.399
well I'll try this, and this is the information I

157
00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:38.039
share in my book. I share this whole story and

158
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:40.360
then this information in the book. So if people want

159
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:42.440
to know what information that is, you know, they get

160
00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:45.519
my book, they'll find out there's very lude to the

161
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:50.240
story until you get to the information. And so I

162
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:53.200
started studying it and following it. And part of the

163
00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:57.519
process is this meditation. And the meditation you learn to

164
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:03.080
go beyond in the intellect, beyond all reasoning, and going

165
00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.480
to the silence and stillness your mind. So there's a

166
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:07.600
practice for doing that. There's a way to do it,

167
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.279
and you have to know what your target is. And

168
00:10:11.080 --> 00:10:17.720
this information was so it was based in Newtonian science,

169
00:10:18.440 --> 00:10:22.799
and it bridged this gap between spirituality and science in

170
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:28.879
a way which I had never read before. And what

171
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.639
I did was I read it without judging it and

172
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:33.679
with and if I came across something that I was

173
00:10:33.759 --> 00:10:35.360
reading that I kind of learned, and I don't know

174
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.480
about that. I just put it aside and I thought

175
00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:41.519
about all the things that did make sense to me

176
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.240
at the time, and so I just followed it. And

177
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:46.559
it took about a month and a half or so

178
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:48.519
to go through the material, maybe two months to go

179
00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.840
through the material. And I just kept cycling through that

180
00:10:50.919 --> 00:10:58.000
material as I was learning to practicing meditation, and at

181
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.000
about the seven month mark, kind of building faith as

182
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.600
I was going this was so logical and rational. I thought, okay, well,

183
00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:06.240
I'll just keep going on this and i'll try it.

184
00:11:06.279 --> 00:11:07.799
You know, if it doesn't work in a year or two,

185
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:12.120
I can always pull the trigger. And but the seven

186
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.120
month park, I felt this little tingling at the top

187
00:11:14.120 --> 00:11:15.960
of my head. I didn't know what it was, felt

188
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:19.360
really strange, never felt it before, but I thought, okay, well,

189
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.279
you know whatever, I'll just keep going on this. And

190
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:28.080
about the ninth month, that little tingling about the size

191
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.240
of diamond grute, about four inches in diameter, and then

192
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:33.200
it just kept growing. Like today, you put a bowl

193
00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:35.559
over my head and that opening is as you know,

194
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:40.000
big as that below my ears. And what was happening

195
00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:44.519
was I was building new brain cells impressed with new knowledge,

196
00:11:44.879 --> 00:11:46.799
the under the top of the or at the top

197
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:51.159
of the brain, underneath the skull, and they operated at

198
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:57.360
a higher vibrational frequency which allowed whatever you want to

199
00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:01.799
call it, God or creator, source, prime, the universal, whatever

200
00:12:01.799 --> 00:12:05.279
you want to call it, make this connection. And then

201
00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:09.279
this energy would flow in through my head, and it

202
00:12:09.399 --> 00:12:12.000
might reside in my head or in my chest or

203
00:12:12.000 --> 00:12:15.080
my throat or my solar plexus. It would come into

204
00:12:15.120 --> 00:12:17.200
my body and go down one side of the body

205
00:12:17.240 --> 00:12:19.120
and up the other side of the body, or go

206
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:21.879
down the whole body and the backup, or just sit

207
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:25.440
in certain areas in the body. And I could feel

208
00:12:25.480 --> 00:12:27.200
all of this going on as I meditate, and I

209
00:12:27.240 --> 00:12:31.039
meditate ninety minutes every morning. First thing when I get up,

210
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.240
I get coffee, I sit down, I listen to a

211
00:12:33.279 --> 00:12:39.279
little bit of material, and then I met it. And

212
00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.919
then at the end of December, so that was beginning.

213
00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:48.759
This was November twenty seventeen. The end of December twenty eighteenth,

214
00:12:48.759 --> 00:12:51.759
I had two meditations two days apart. I went into

215
00:12:51.799 --> 00:12:58.559
this meditation and you know, kind of got settled and

216
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.279
in it into the south and some stillness of the mind,

217
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:03.960
and then all of a sudden, like in a flash,

218
00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:08.559
like in a nanosecond, I was just filled with unconditional

219
00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:10.720
love and totally like I was a deep sea diver

220
00:13:10.879 --> 00:13:14.840
suspended in an ocean of unconditioned It was just I

221
00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:18.759
felt non judged. I felt it didn't matter what I

222
00:13:18.759 --> 00:13:21.879
had done to anybody. I felt didn't matter what anybody

223
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.159
had done to me. I just felt totally loved and supported.

224
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.840
And we don't have the human language to describe it,

225
00:13:29.919 --> 00:13:32.279
but you know, I was in that meditation and I

226
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:33.879
just I wanted to stay there. I didn't care what

227
00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.679
aches and paints my body had, what illness has had, nothing.

228
00:13:37.720 --> 00:13:51.440
And so I came out of that meditation, and uh,

229
00:13:51.519 --> 00:13:57.919
two days later I had the exact same meditation, and yeah,

230
00:13:57.919 --> 00:14:00.840
it was just it was just beautiful. So I've just

231
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:05.799
setting here, just want to make sure that the audio

232
00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:10.360
in the video is coming through. Okay, Oh everything's coming through. Okay, yeah, okay,

233
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.039
perfect and anyway, So I came out of that, and

234
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:15.120
then two days later I had the exact same meditation,

235
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:20.279
and at that point I knew that what I experienced

236
00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.639
brings brought me back, and brings us back if we

237
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.720
follow this kind of process, brings us back to our

238
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:28.919
truth of who we really are. And then from that

239
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:33.639
point forward, it's just been this all onward upward knowing.

240
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.320
You know, you get to a point where you know

241
00:14:36.519 --> 00:14:39.360
that what you know is true and then things just

242
00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.080
start to unfold and it's a learning process. It's an

243
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:44.600
experiential process.

244
00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:47.480
Well it is, Yeah, it is. And I noticed you

245
00:14:47.519 --> 00:14:49.279
know you refer the book, but you don't really want

246
00:14:49.320 --> 00:14:52.080
to talk about it. That what I find, and I

247
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:55.919
challenge my authors who I love to interview and such,

248
00:14:56.000 --> 00:14:58.879
to yourself to really talk about what's in the book

249
00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:02.240
and to give the give the audience just a sense

250
00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:05.320
of what's there, because what I find is if they

251
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.679
get a sense of what's really in the book, and

252
00:15:07.720 --> 00:15:10.080
if they get a sense of what you really were doing,

253
00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:16.159
that actually will help them and you know, potentially instigate

254
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.799
them to get the book and to read further and

255
00:15:18.840 --> 00:15:23.200
to really understand what you experience. I love how you

256
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:27.639
talk about meditation. So how did you come across meditation

257
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:31.080
and which meditation process did you come across?

258
00:15:32.600 --> 00:15:35.120
Yeah? Absolutely, And I talk about what I meant, was

259
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.759
this material that came to me? I share that in

260
00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:40.159
the book. I don't And the reason I don't tell

261
00:15:40.200 --> 00:15:42.639
people what it is. I can talk about it, but

262
00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.559
I don't tell them what it is because it's marketed

263
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:47.840
in such a way most people would run from it.

264
00:15:47.879 --> 00:15:50.759
I certainly would have, but I was at such a

265
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.000
depressed state that I was willing to read or look

266
00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.200
at anything. So that's the thing, right, But the book, yeah, absolutely,

267
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:02.159
so the meditative states. So you know, in the in

268
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:06.519
the late nineties and early two thousands, I, you know,

269
00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:10.559
tried various meditations. None of them really stuck. You know,

270
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.039
Wayne Dyer had a CD of you know, twenty different

271
00:16:13.080 --> 00:16:16.240
types of medities and I tried them all out, and

272
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:21.279
you know, they lower blood pressure and the lower anxiety,

273
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:26.600
especially when you're in it. But there wasn't any any

274
00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:32.159
real experiential thing. But spiritual spirituality is not an intellectual thing.

275
00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:36.360
It's an experiential thing. And so what I found out

276
00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:39.960
was by reading these materials, we we really need, or

277
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.679
at least I needed. I needed to understand in a

278
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:46.639
logical way why and how we are here and how

279
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:50.600
the universe is created, and then how we become in

280
00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:54.200
this physical form, and then and what our purpose in

281
00:16:54.240 --> 00:16:59.360
life is. I needed to understand those elements. Then in

282
00:16:59.399 --> 00:17:02.679
this material, and you don't learn until you're near the

283
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:04.440
end of this material how to really do it, because

284
00:17:04.440 --> 00:17:07.559
there's a bunch of information you need first before this

285
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:13.519
meditation works in the effective way that it does. But essentially,

286
00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:18.359
what you're doing is you are going into a state

287
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:24.000
of silence and stillness in the mind, and so all

288
00:17:24.039 --> 00:17:26.480
I can stop all my thoughts and if any thought

289
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:28.799
comes in, I just let it flow past. I don't

290
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:30.799
think on it, I don't dwell on I'm just in

291
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:33.880
the state of stillness and silence, so I don't have

292
00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.599
I'm not listening to somebody give me a guided meditation.

293
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.119
What I want to do is what I want to

294
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:42.960
do in this meditation, and what it's structured to do

295
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:48.680
is get you beyond the human intellect, beyond your own imagination,

296
00:17:48.920 --> 00:17:54.640
because in the imaginative a realm of your mind, your

297
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:59.920
ego may or may not be a dormant and typically

298
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.440
when you go into meditation, if you are walked through

299
00:18:03.440 --> 00:18:08.200
a meditation, you are going further into the imaginative realms

300
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:14.640
of whatever somebody is telling you to imagine. And our creator,

301
00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:20.160
you know, there's two states of creation. But the original cause,

302
00:18:20.279 --> 00:18:25.119
if you will, is in this silence and stillness and equilibrium,

303
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:31.319
and it is these opposing impulses that were torn apart

304
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:33.680
at the time of the Big Bang to create this

305
00:18:33.880 --> 00:18:42.359
active state of creation and the silence and illness of

306
00:18:42.400 --> 00:18:50.640
the universal as it were. Is these mutual impulses that

307
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:54.319
are opposing that are locked in this embrace, and when

308
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:58.799
they were torn apart, they were able to work independently

309
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:03.200
but also jointly. And so it's this will to move

310
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:08.279
out and create with the with the purpose to give

311
00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:13.119
form to that creative consciousness plan and experience it. And

312
00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:18.440
we see it as electromagnetism. Essentially, you know this, it's

313
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:27.039
this energy of creation that enables us to and we

314
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.680
could describe this in quantum physics, we can describe it

315
00:19:29.720 --> 00:19:33.359
in Newtonian physics. There's different ways to describe it. But essentially,

316
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:37.519
your thinking is a creative consi consciousness plan, and your

317
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:45.200
feeling is magnetism. These impulses of drawing things together or

318
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:51.039
pushing them apart, and your feelings what form to this

319
00:19:51.160 --> 00:19:54.200
creative consciousness plan. So the more you think about something,

320
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.559
the more you dwell upon something. That is what you

321
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:00.039
experience in your life. If you want to change that,

322
00:20:00.799 --> 00:20:05.359
you need to understand that what you think is right, wrong, good, bad, true,

323
00:20:05.480 --> 00:20:09.359
false is really just a belief. And then if it's

324
00:20:09.519 --> 00:20:13.319
just a belief, when you have the methodology to do it,

325
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:16.000
you can actually go in and you can dismantle those

326
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.960
beliefs and change them. And if you change those beliefs

327
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:21.599
to be consistent from where we come from before we

328
00:20:21.680 --> 00:20:26.000
die and where we return to after we're dead. When

329
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:30.599
we die, excuse me, before we're born, and then after

330
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:36.680
we die, you invite the universal to come in and

331
00:20:36.839 --> 00:20:39.920
help you and start to cleanse your consciousness and then

332
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.200
rebuild it to be consistent with who we are.

333
00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:47.039
And I'd love for you to just kind of share

334
00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:49.519
with the audience. You know, you talk about where we

335
00:20:49.519 --> 00:20:51.480
were before we came here and where we go after

336
00:20:51.519 --> 00:20:54.640
we die, and you know there are very very many

337
00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:57.960
people with different religious beliefs or non religious beliefs about

338
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:02.319
all of that. Based on your experience and your perception

339
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:06.200
of what happened, what would you share with the audience

340
00:21:06.799 --> 00:21:11.720
as far as what your thoughts are about that?

341
00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:18.759
Good question. So I'm going to use human language to

342
00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:20.480
do this, and it's going to be kind of the

343
00:21:20.559 --> 00:21:26.799
shadow consciousness form. Okay, that's all right, so we'll call

344
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:29.400
it in the beginning, although that's wrong, because all that

345
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:34.119
exists is consciousness. Okay, consciousness, awareness, those are the only

346
00:21:34.160 --> 00:21:37.640
things that exist. They are inseparable. You can't have awareness

347
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:42.519
without consciousness, and you can't if you were not aware,

348
00:21:43.039 --> 00:21:46.279
you would be like a statue, right, a blomb could

349
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:50.279
go off and you wouldn't be So consciousness awareness are

350
00:21:50.359 --> 00:21:54.519
conjoined and never separated. And consciousness is all that exists.

351
00:21:55.839 --> 00:22:01.079
And so you and this human body is really everything

352
00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:05.960
is consciousness made visible in this world that we live in.

353
00:22:06.559 --> 00:22:10.720
So this microphone is consciousness made visible. I am what

354
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:15.640
consciousness made visible. You everything is, and from my perspective

355
00:22:17.799 --> 00:22:20.240
or yours, we can go either way. But I'm the

356
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:22.880
only one in the room, so to speak. Everything that

357
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:27.559
I experience is merely a reflection of my thinking and feeling.

358
00:22:29.240 --> 00:22:33.200
And if I change my thinking and feeling to be

359
00:22:33.359 --> 00:22:36.680
congruent with where we come from before we're born and

360
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:39.759
where we return to after we die, what we do

361
00:22:40.160 --> 00:22:44.279
is we come back to the state of unconditional love

362
00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:49.559
and then we're here to experience. So what this form

363
00:22:49.640 --> 00:22:52.319
does allow for us that it allows us to experience

364
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.480
all of those things that seem to be contrary to

365
00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:59.559
the light light dark. You can't experience light without knowing

366
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.480
what dark is. You can experience eight without knowing what

367
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.200
love is, et cetera. And so being in this body

368
00:23:07.680 --> 00:23:11.079
allows us to experience those things. And when we come

369
00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:14.960
to understand everything comes from love and it's just you know,

370
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.039
we go from a low vibrational frequency of all of

371
00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.920
these things which are contrary to what we would consider

372
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:25.880
to be loved, so hate, anger, judgment, all of those

373
00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:30.359
things to this state of unconditional love. And beyond the

374
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:35.200
unconditional love that a parent has for a child, it

375
00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:40.920
is absolutely just accepting and know that everything is now

376
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:43.000
I'll call it God for this for the lack of

377
00:23:43.160 --> 00:23:46.599
a better term at this point. But everything comes from

378
00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:50.720
unconditional love. Everything comes from the light, from the love.

379
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:58.799
And so even something that we don't like, that I experience,

380
00:23:58.880 --> 00:24:02.240
that I don't like or I judge, is my creation

381
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.000
and it's and my goal here and our purpose here

382
00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:11.880
is really to learn that that's my creation. To experience

383
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:17.480
what I feel, let that energy of you know, hate

384
00:24:17.559 --> 00:24:21.039
or anger, whatever just flow through me, but learn to

385
00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:23.920
love what I'm experiencing because it's part of my creation.

386
00:24:24.240 --> 00:24:26.759
If I reject it, what I'm doing is setting myself

387
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:29.039
up for a cycle for that to continue to come

388
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:33.000
back because I'm rejecting part of my creation. Yeah.

389
00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.079
And I love the concept of that which we resist persists. Yeah. Man,

390
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:40.680
that's exactly what you're saying. And so in your book

391
00:24:40.759 --> 00:24:46.359
you talk about seven steps to being able to really

392
00:24:46.400 --> 00:24:48.960
turn yourself around. So for people that are listening to

393
00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:52.880
find themselves in that moment of time where they are

394
00:24:52.920 --> 00:24:57.400
discouraged or depressed, they're just so frustrated with their lives,

395
00:24:57.799 --> 00:25:01.519
what are those seven steps that they could be at

396
00:25:01.599 --> 00:25:04.440
least aware of and maybe even do some more research

397
00:25:04.480 --> 00:25:07.920
on by getting your book that can help them. Do

398
00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:09.279
you mind sharing those.

399
00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:11.880
No, No, not at all. So the first thing I

400
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.519
had to do was and I have a chapter or

401
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:17.519
a section in the book that describes us. There's some

402
00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:20.160
background material that I had to read. So one I

403
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:25.559
had to learn and understand that everything that I thought.

404
00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:28.039
So this is before I get to the seven steps,

405
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:29.640
but I'll just give you a quicker review of this.

406
00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:35.240
So before I could get to the point where what

407
00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:37.519
I believe to be right is right and what I

408
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.599
believe to be wrong is wrong, I had to understand

409
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:42.880
that those were just beliefs. So I read this book

410
00:25:44.319 --> 00:25:48.160
that helped me understand that even though I think it's

411
00:25:48.240 --> 00:25:50.319
right and wrong, it's really just a belief, and if

412
00:25:50.359 --> 00:25:52.480
I change my belief, I can do that. Next thing

413
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:56.720
I read was a book on epigenetics that explained to

414
00:25:56.759 --> 00:25:59.079
me that what we think about and what we feel

415
00:25:59.160 --> 00:26:02.359
affects our biology. So if we're feeling ill and we're

416
00:26:02.359 --> 00:26:05.559
feeling sick er, we're having illnesses come to us, or

417
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:11.599
we're in really good health, it's predominantly due to how

418
00:26:11.640 --> 00:26:13.680
we think and how we feel, So we can draw

419
00:26:13.720 --> 00:26:16.160
illnesses to us, or we can draw health to us.

420
00:26:16.640 --> 00:26:19.359
Then I read a book on neuroplasticity, which helped me

421
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:24.079
to understand that, you know, contrary to a belief back

422
00:26:24.079 --> 00:26:26.799
in the sixties that as we get older our brains

423
00:26:27.079 --> 00:26:31.000
you know, shrink and get atrophy, we can actually build

424
00:26:31.079 --> 00:26:34.119
new brain cells. So that was all a prelude. Then

425
00:26:34.160 --> 00:26:36.839
I read a near death experience of this step one.

426
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:39.480
This is stretching your consciousness. I read a near death

427
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:43.240
experience of a woman who suffered from an aggressive form

428
00:26:43.279 --> 00:26:47.400
of cancer for about six years, and she went from

429
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:50.240
a weight of a normal body weight down to about

430
00:26:50.359 --> 00:26:54.880
ninety pounds seventy five to ninety pounds, and she couldn't

431
00:26:54.880 --> 00:26:58.839
lift her head anymore. She was bedridden, she was at home,

432
00:26:58.920 --> 00:27:00.720
had to be an oxygen to twenty four to seven

433
00:27:00.799 --> 00:27:04.240
needed twenty four. By seventh care, she fell into a coma.

434
00:27:04.319 --> 00:27:06.799
She's riddled with cancer from her head to her waist,

435
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.200
some tumors the size of lemons in her body, and

436
00:27:12.359 --> 00:27:16.319
she was fell into this coma. They rushed to the hospital.

437
00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:20.359
The admitting physicians told her family she wasn't going to

438
00:27:20.400 --> 00:27:25.279
make it through the night. And in that twenty four

439
00:27:25.319 --> 00:27:28.119
hour period after getting in the hospital, they did a

440
00:27:28.119 --> 00:27:30.960
bunch of tests and scans and stuff. She went through

441
00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:34.880
this near death experience and she came out of that

442
00:27:35.279 --> 00:27:37.839
and within two weeks they couldn't find a trace of

443
00:27:37.839 --> 00:27:44.200
cancer in her body, all medically documented, and they called

444
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:52.880
it spontaneous remission. And she describes what she experienced in

445
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:59.240
such a way that is neutral, it's free of any

446
00:27:59.400 --> 00:28:02.319
human on sets of religion or anything else. So she

447
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:06.640
just described what she experienced. That gave me. That book

448
00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:10.960
gave me the permission for myself to commit suicide because

449
00:28:10.960 --> 00:28:14.119
I had this little nagging doubt, and what I learned

450
00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:16.319
from her was that we're not judged after death. I

451
00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:19.240
didn't necessarily understand at all, but it gave me all

452
00:28:19.240 --> 00:28:21.559
the concepts, and so it was something to hang on to.

453
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:24.440
So that's number one. So that will give you a

454
00:28:24.559 --> 00:28:27.359
new understanding, or the reader a new understanding of what

455
00:28:27.400 --> 00:28:34.960
consciousness is. Then in step two, I share this compendium

456
00:28:35.039 --> 00:28:39.119
of material that came to me that I utilized over

457
00:28:39.160 --> 00:28:42.400
the course of that year, and I share some of

458
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:46.799
the what I call truth in this material as excerpts,

459
00:28:47.519 --> 00:28:51.079
so that the reader can see where it comes from,

460
00:28:51.319 --> 00:28:56.519
understand where it comes from, and then get a concept

461
00:28:56.519 --> 00:28:58.880
of how easy it is to understand. But the brilliance

462
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:04.559
of the writing. Then step three is to sit down

463
00:29:05.279 --> 00:29:07.920
and write yourself a letter. I call it a reflection stuff.

464
00:29:08.160 --> 00:29:11.119
And if you write yourself a letter that will never

465
00:29:11.160 --> 00:29:13.920
be shown to anybody else. It's only for you, and

466
00:29:14.000 --> 00:29:16.880
you really are honest with yourself about how you feel

467
00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:19.759
about the world and about your situation, and I mean

468
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:24.039
really honest, don't hide anything. You write it down, then

469
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:26.599
you put it in an envelope, you seal it, and

470
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:29.000
if you follow this process, you open it a year later.

471
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:32.720
Because it becomes a benchmark of the changes that will occur.

472
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:38.960
And then step four is really this cleansing your consciousness.

473
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:43.960
So it's going through this process of understanding how and

474
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:46.359
how you're going to cleanse your consciousness, how you make

475
00:29:46.400 --> 00:29:50.839
connection with source that helps you go through and starts

476
00:29:50.880 --> 00:29:54.519
to change your beliefs in your consciousness. Step five is

477
00:29:54.720 --> 00:29:59.039
this process to rebuild your consciousness. So you're doing these simultaneously.

478
00:29:59.079 --> 00:30:04.000
You're starting to cleanse, you're starting to rebuild, and this

479
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:06.400
is an iterative process. It's not a one and done

480
00:30:07.279 --> 00:30:11.599
and uh. Step six, as I mentioned later in this

481
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:14.960
companion material, you're going to learn this meditation. So in

482
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:17.720
the in the material, it's going to ask you to meditate,

483
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:19.559
and you just do the best you can to begin

484
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:23.359
with and be patient to learn the material that you

485
00:30:23.400 --> 00:30:26.400
need to learn. And then it's going to teach you

486
00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:31.160
about it's going to give you a prayer to use

487
00:30:31.279 --> 00:30:35.480
before you go into this meditation, and it's gonna and

488
00:30:35.519 --> 00:30:38.279
you'll know what your target is at that point. So

489
00:30:38.400 --> 00:30:40.519
then you're going to go into this meditation. Now I

490
00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:46.799
give some some people some tips. Before I started this journey,

491
00:30:46.799 --> 00:30:50.839
I started to listen to audio books and for me, I'm,

492
00:30:50.880 --> 00:30:54.519
you know, visual learner, engineer. So it's like I can

493
00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:58.759
be easy. I'm distracted by shiny objects. I'm doing something shiny,

494
00:30:59.200 --> 00:31:01.000
let me go over there and do that. And so

495
00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:04.640
in order to slow my mind down and really be

496
00:31:04.680 --> 00:31:09.119
able to focus the outcome of having to listen to

497
00:31:09.200 --> 00:31:13.559
those audio books that I started this process on helped

498
00:31:13.640 --> 00:31:15.759
me to. I'd sit down in my chair as if

499
00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:18.640
I was going to read a book, I'd put on headphones,

500
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:21.759
I'd close my eyes, and I just focus on listening

501
00:31:21.839 --> 00:31:26.119
to the speaking, to the word speaking. That taught me

502
00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:29.440
to train my mind to be able to stop my thinking.

503
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:35.160
So I didn't struggle with that process as much during

504
00:31:35.240 --> 00:31:38.519
this year as I would have if I hadn't done

505
00:31:38.519 --> 00:31:40.839
that process ahead of time. And that was just a

506
00:31:40.880 --> 00:31:45.200
fortuitous process. So you'll then you'll learn this meditation stuff.

507
00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.559
Stepsticks has learned this meditation and Step seven is kind

508
00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:50.400
of rinse and repeat. You're going to go back and

509
00:31:50.400 --> 00:31:52.119
you're just going to keep cycling through it. You're not

510
00:31:52.160 --> 00:31:55.680
going to continue to write yourself this letter because you've

511
00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:57.839
done it, but you're going to go back. You're going

512
00:31:57.880 --> 00:31:59.920
to listen to some material or read some of this

513
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:02.160
material and you're going to meditate, and you're just going

514
00:32:02.200 --> 00:32:05.680
to continue to go through this process. And the key

515
00:32:05.880 --> 00:32:10.240
is it doesn't happen overnight. It's not a one and done.

516
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:13.160
You've got to put time, energy, and effort in it,

517
00:32:13.200 --> 00:32:15.839
and you have to be consistent. All right.

518
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:19.559
So you talk a lot about meditation, and I love

519
00:32:19.640 --> 00:32:23.400
those seven steps, and obviously near the end is that meditation,

520
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:25.480
and then they don't mean to jump through the rest

521
00:32:25.480 --> 00:32:28.559
of them. But as we talk about meditation, you're talking

522
00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:32.240
about how you're meditating ninety minutes morning each morning. Yeah,

523
00:32:33.279 --> 00:32:37.680
I guarantee you not many people could start meditation and

524
00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:40.319
do it for ninety minutes. So I have a few

525
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:43.039
questions with that. Number one, how do you begin the

526
00:32:43.079 --> 00:32:47.119
process to continue number one? Number two, one of the

527
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:50.640
things that you mentioned was the guided meditation that you

528
00:32:50.759 --> 00:32:55.519
kind of have avoided that guided meditation concept for whatever reason.

529
00:32:55.680 --> 00:32:57.720
So I'd love for you to kind of share your

530
00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:00.920
thoughts of why you do that and what type of

531
00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:04.599
meditation are you actually doing? Three questions.

532
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:10.440
Yeah, okay, So so you're right, you know, most people

533
00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:11.920
are not going to be able to do ninety minutes,

534
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:15.039
and you don't have to I'm going to suggest to

535
00:33:15.079 --> 00:33:17.920
you you want to practice with at least starting with

536
00:33:17.960 --> 00:33:21.759
fifteen minutes and build up to whatever you're comfortable with

537
00:33:21.839 --> 00:33:25.160
over time. So it might be fifteen minutes, might be

538
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:28.880
fifteen minutes always, you know, you might build up fifteen, twenty, thirty,

539
00:33:28.960 --> 00:33:32.880
forty hour, whatever it is, right. I So the first

540
00:33:33.000 --> 00:33:35.880
the thing that I do is I sorted out really

541
00:33:35.920 --> 00:33:41.759
early that meditating after I engaged my brain by talking

542
00:33:41.759 --> 00:33:46.559
to other people or being involved in work didn't work

543
00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:52.240
for me because my because I'm too active. So I decided,

544
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:54.519
first thing I'm going to get up. I get up early,

545
00:33:55.279 --> 00:33:57.920
I relax, I have my go to the washroom, have

546
00:33:57.960 --> 00:34:02.400
a coffee, sit down, get into the mode by listening

547
00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:07.519
to some audio of this material, and then put in

548
00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:10.599
foamere plugs. Get relaxed in a chair like I use

549
00:34:10.639 --> 00:34:15.400
a reclining chair so that I relax my head, my face,

550
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:18.480
my neck, via my entire body. I'm not using any

551
00:34:18.599 --> 00:34:22.760
muscles to keep me upright. And what that allows me

552
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:25.480
to do is get into this relaxed state of almost

553
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:29.679
like as simple as slipping into slumber, so to speak. Yeah,

554
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:34.239
and so you're in the SATA state. And then because

555
00:34:35.400 --> 00:34:38.199
I listen to these audiobooks, I could train my mind

556
00:34:38.320 --> 00:34:43.840
to understand that these thoughts that come to my brain

557
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:46.440
are not necessarily originated from me. So I see them

558
00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:49.480
as a stream of thoughts that go by my awareness.

559
00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:53.280
And what we typically do is we pick a thought

560
00:34:53.320 --> 00:34:56.159
out of that stream. If it's consistent with way we're thinking,

561
00:34:56.239 --> 00:34:58.639
we keep it. If it's not, we throw it back.

562
00:34:59.079 --> 00:35:00.920
And so what I do is I don't pick any

563
00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.079
thoughts out of the stream. I just let them go through,

564
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:06.920
and I just go into this state of silence and

565
00:35:06.960 --> 00:35:11.760
then the energy. Like today, the energy comes to me

566
00:35:11.920 --> 00:35:15.559
even before I started my meditation, But back then I

567
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:17.960
would have to just get into this and get really relaxed,

568
00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:19.760
and then all of a sudden the energy would start

569
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:22.159
to come might come in fast, might come in slowly.

570
00:35:23.519 --> 00:35:28.199
That then kept me going, okay, So does that answer

571
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:28.880
your first question?

572
00:35:29.360 --> 00:35:33.800
That is yes, okay. Second question was, oh I can't

573
00:35:33.800 --> 00:35:40.000
even remember? Oh yes, guided versus music versus no sound

574
00:35:40.079 --> 00:35:40.400
at all?

575
00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:45.000
Oh okay. So the reason I don't do the music

576
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:47.480
is because then I start focusing on the music. Or

577
00:35:47.519 --> 00:35:52.480
if somebody speaking to me, they are typically directing me

578
00:35:52.760 --> 00:35:56.119
in terms of a thought process yes, and so I'm

579
00:35:56.159 --> 00:36:02.360
focused on that thought process. And as I said earlier,

580
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:06.039
you know, when you're in your imagination, your ego may

581
00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:08.840
or may not be dormant. And what you want to

582
00:36:08.880 --> 00:36:12.199
do is you want to go beyond human intellect and reasoning,

583
00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.360
which means you want to keep your ego out of it.

584
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:19.039
And so by going into the silence and the stillness

585
00:36:19.840 --> 00:36:22.760
and just allowing those thoughts to go by without choosing

586
00:36:22.800 --> 00:36:27.719
any I sit in that space where I'll call it

587
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:31.719
the universal that is in silence and stillness that emanates

588
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:36.719
unconditional love to us twenty four seven. We don't feel

589
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:43.360
it because our vibrational frequency is so low that it

590
00:36:43.880 --> 00:36:47.960
can't penetrate and make itself known to us. When we

591
00:36:48.079 --> 00:36:50.559
go into this state of silence and stillness, what we're

592
00:36:50.559 --> 00:36:55.159
doing and know what our target is. We are inviting

593
00:36:55.880 --> 00:37:00.719
that source energy to make itself known to us us

594
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:03.800
and it takes a while to build these new brain

595
00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:07.199
cells impressed with this new knowledge that then operated this

596
00:37:07.320 --> 00:37:11.000
higher frequency. So those are the reasons I don't do

597
00:37:11.039 --> 00:37:13.280
guided meditations, all right.

598
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:17.880
And you talk about these frequencies, and you know everybody

599
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:22.199
has a different You mentioned quantum field. You know, oftentimes

600
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:25.440
we've heard about meditation. We hear about all of these things,

601
00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:27.880
and it's like it's a little woo woo, you know,

602
00:37:27.920 --> 00:37:33.239
a little bit out in left corner. But actually there's

603
00:37:33.320 --> 00:37:36.199
a lot of scientific backing now as far as the

604
00:37:36.239 --> 00:37:40.360
advantage of meditation and what it can do for you.

605
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:42.320
Can you kind of share what your thoughts and what

606
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:47.559
your knowledge is about the quantum field and this energy

607
00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:50.760
or these frequencies that are available for us to bring

608
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:53.559
into ourselves if we're just able to do that and

609
00:37:53.639 --> 00:37:55.119
meditating it to do that.

610
00:37:56.000 --> 00:38:02.280
Yeah, so there's different ways to describe this, but you know, essentially,

611
00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:06.679
when you so you look at an atom and then

612
00:38:06.719 --> 00:38:08.800
you get in as smaller and you get into these

613
00:38:08.880 --> 00:38:12.039
quirks and other things, you get to a place where

614
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:16.800
we understand that, you know, string theory of quantum physics

615
00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:23.360
is that everything is just energy, and so we're just

616
00:38:23.679 --> 00:38:29.880
energy made visible through the drawing of particles together, uh,

617
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:33.960
creation of atoms, molecules, you know, those kinds of things.

618
00:38:34.639 --> 00:38:38.360
And so if everything is just energy, you know, there

619
00:38:38.400 --> 00:38:44.639
has been scientific evidence now that when you think or

620
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:54.119
you're observing something, you actually create essentially a molecule, a

621
00:38:54.159 --> 00:38:57.360
ball of energy. That draws part that draws particles together

622
00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:00.840
to create a molecule. And so you actually create the

623
00:39:01.000 --> 00:39:04.840
experience that you want through the bonding and the bringing

624
00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:09.440
of all these things together. Your thinking is consciousness. We

625
00:39:09.679 --> 00:39:15.519
are consciousness beings made visible. So everything is consciousness. And

626
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:19.199
when you think of something, what you're doing is you're

627
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:23.559
putting a consciousness plan together. When you feel, what you're

628
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:26.559
doing is you're starting to draw this energy together to

629
00:39:26.679 --> 00:39:31.079
create this experience that you're going to experience. So I

630
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:35.679
give an example in my book in twenty eleven, so

631
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.199
since I was twenty years old, well since I was

632
00:39:38.199 --> 00:39:40.760
a kid, my mom we used to go to these fairs,

633
00:39:40.800 --> 00:39:44.079
the Pacific National Exhibition, and it was every year they

634
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:46.199
had a house in twelve cars they were given a way.

635
00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:48.639
So my mom used to buy tickets all the time

636
00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:51.760
to either win the house or the car. And when

637
00:39:51.800 --> 00:39:55.400
I was twenty nineteen eighty, I adopted buying these tickets.

638
00:39:55.559 --> 00:39:58.280
So I just religiously buy them. It supports the fair,

639
00:39:58.440 --> 00:40:01.719
gives me the opportunity to win. Siming. In twenty eleven,

640
00:40:01.800 --> 00:40:04.719
I thought, oh, I'd like, you know, a hard top

641
00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:09.239
Lexus convertible, and so I started to fantasize about that.

642
00:40:09.480 --> 00:40:14.519
Every day for a year, I thought about what that owned,

643
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:17.880
that car, top down, windy road, wind in my hair,

644
00:40:18.039 --> 00:40:21.400
and the joy I would feel about that car. And

645
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:23.599
I had a picture of it on my wall. And

646
00:40:23.679 --> 00:40:27.719
I do that fifteen twenty times a day, sitting a

647
00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:31.159
chair just for three four minutes, you know, visualizing and

648
00:40:31.320 --> 00:40:34.920
doing that. I bought a ticket in the spring to

649
00:40:35.000 --> 00:40:37.199
this fair that had the draws in the fall, always

650
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:39.280
hoping to win the house. I had a nice car.

651
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:42.320
I was hoping to win the house. And I didn't

652
00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:48.599
even look at the cars. And in September, so about

653
00:40:48.599 --> 00:40:51.360
a year later, almost exactly a year later since I

654
00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:54.519
started this visualization process, I got a phone call one

655
00:40:54.599 --> 00:40:57.440
day and said p and E Pacific National Exhibition, p Anda,

656
00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:00.119
So I picked it up. I said hello, and they said,

657
00:41:00.519 --> 00:41:02.280
you know, blah blah blah. They asked who I was

658
00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:04.440
and verified that. Then they said you want a car

659
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:05.880
and I said, really, Oh what kind of car? That?

660
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:07.719
I went and I said, they told me the model

661
00:41:07.719 --> 00:41:09.280
ones some Oh what kind of car is that? And

662
00:41:09.280 --> 00:41:12.440
I said it's a Lexus hard Talk convertible. It was

663
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:17.079
the exact car I had in the picture. Wow, This

664
00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:20.440
is the way we create our reality every day and

665
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:26.039
we don't even know it. Everything that you experience is

666
00:41:26.119 --> 00:41:29.519
due to your thinking and your feeling, the things you like,

667
00:41:29.880 --> 00:41:33.400
the things you don't like. So when you learn to

668
00:41:33.519 --> 00:41:37.280
dismantle your current thinking, your current beliefs, and bring it

669
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:43.800
back to be congruent, you will learn to view the

670
00:41:43.840 --> 00:41:47.320
world in an entirely different way. So when I look

671
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:51.880
at somebody else, I know that their soul is equal

672
00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:55.039
to my soul. Their soul is perfect, their soul is

673
00:41:55.159 --> 00:42:00.440
unconditional love, and anything that they are doing is nearly

674
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:04.000
the things that they have come here to learn, to

675
00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:08.199
experience and to bring balance back. We are here to

676
00:42:08.519 --> 00:42:11.960
balance the masculine and the feminine, and you balance the

677
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:18.320
feminine or the masculine by bringing balance through your feelings.

678
00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:23.039
And when you learn to bring these feelings in, experience

679
00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:25.280
them for what they are, love them for what they are,

680
00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:33.000
what you're experiencing, but choose to think loving kind, unconditionally

681
00:42:33.079 --> 00:42:36.800
loving thoughts to everything and every experience and accept it

682
00:42:36.840 --> 00:42:40.039
as your creation. You start to bring balance back within

683
00:42:40.079 --> 00:42:45.280
yourself and harmony back within yourself, and you view the

684
00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:47.679
world no matter what's going on in the world right now,

685
00:42:47.679 --> 00:42:53.159
there's many horrific things. I don't get fussed or concerned

686
00:42:53.199 --> 00:42:57.440
about anything, because it's all to create this experience of

687
00:42:57.559 --> 00:43:01.320
us to bring this world into a new era of

688
00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:04.039
love and peace. There's going to be a lot of

689
00:43:04.119 --> 00:43:06.039
changes in the next ten years. There's going to be

690
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:11.639
drastic changes in the next hundred and over this millennium,

691
00:43:11.880 --> 00:43:15.239
you know, we will this this world will come into

692
00:43:15.280 --> 00:43:18.239
the state of unconditional love and peace, and all of

693
00:43:18.280 --> 00:43:21.679
these things, all of these structural things we have in

694
00:43:21.760 --> 00:43:26.559
society about finances and people, that's all going to disappear.

695
00:43:26.679 --> 00:43:28.800
It's going to be an entirely new way to live.

696
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.159
It's going to be a way of love and peace

697
00:43:31.239 --> 00:43:36.440
and joy and abundance and everything that you want, everything

698
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:40.760
that you need to be happy and joyous and peaceful

699
00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:46.599
and loving and kind will come to you without this

700
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:48.320
struggle that we currently are in.

701
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:53.599
Well, and what a beautiful, beautiful thing that's going to be.

702
00:43:53.880 --> 00:43:57.159
And as you say it, it really starts with the one,

703
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:01.480
doesn't It starts with each one of us us seeking

704
00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:04.320
to become better, seeking to become who we truly are.

705
00:44:05.119 --> 00:44:08.679
And then obviously, as we give forth that energy and

706
00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:10.880
share that with others and they start to do the

707
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:17.000
same thing as you say, maybe millennium, but ultimately we're

708
00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:18.800
going to get there. And I love that. How do

709
00:44:18.920 --> 00:44:22.119
people find your book number one? And go ahead and

710
00:44:23.039 --> 00:44:25.519
reframe what your book's name is, and then how do

711
00:44:25.599 --> 00:44:26.159
they find you?

712
00:44:27.480 --> 00:44:30.719
So the book is called a Higher Road cleans your

713
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:34.599
consciousness to transcend the ego and ascend spiritually, and it's

714
00:44:34.599 --> 00:44:38.679
a seven step process to interpeace, joy, love, abundance, and prosperity.

715
00:44:39.679 --> 00:44:42.840
It's sold globally wherever books are sold. The easy way

716
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:46.119
to find it's on Amazon and it's by d as

717
00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:51.199
In Donald Neil Elliott. If you go to a Higher

718
00:44:51.360 --> 00:44:54.320
Road dot com, that'll take you to my author website,

719
00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:59.400
and you know it's there's many paths to the top

720
00:44:59.440 --> 00:45:02.639
of the mountain. This is one that made sense to me.

721
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:07.239
It's logical, it's rational. I shared my personal experience of

722
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:10.880
my life and I gave a memoir about the kinds

723
00:45:10.920 --> 00:45:12.880
of way I grew up in, the kinds of thinking

724
00:45:12.920 --> 00:45:16.079
that shaped my thinking and my feelings that then I

725
00:45:16.199 --> 00:45:20.719
reinforced and adopted over my lifetime that really bound down

726
00:45:20.719 --> 00:45:23.360
my soul and shut it off from the light and

727
00:45:23.400 --> 00:45:25.599
by cleansing your consciousness. What you do is you take

728
00:45:25.639 --> 00:45:28.519
these bondages off and you allow your soul to make

729
00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:32.000
this connection back, and then that starts to manifest in

730
00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:32.760
your outer world.

731
00:45:33.639 --> 00:45:35.360
Oh and I love that. And you know, you said

732
00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:39.159
something I think so important. Everyone has a different path,

733
00:45:40.039 --> 00:45:43.719
but so often we try to do it on our own,

734
00:45:44.079 --> 00:45:46.679
when in fact, as you said, you read books, you

735
00:45:46.679 --> 00:45:49.400
did all the studying that really helped you to get

736
00:45:49.440 --> 00:45:52.719
to a point. It's the same with you writing this book.

737
00:45:52.800 --> 00:45:56.880
You're going to reach people who are going to identify

738
00:45:56.920 --> 00:46:00.440
and connect with your experience and it will make all

739
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:03.519
the difference in the world to their lives. So kudos

740
00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:07.159
to you for writing the book, for being you know,

741
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:10.159
so transparent as you're willing to share your life story

742
00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:13.159
and so forth. I think that's wonderful and I really

743
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:14.800
appreciate you being on the show today.

744
00:46:16.039 --> 00:46:19.920
Well, thank you, and I appreciate being here. And you know,

745
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:25.079
my goal is to give people a way forward that

746
00:46:25.199 --> 00:46:28.079
gets them out of this cycle that we're currently in.

747
00:46:28.400 --> 00:46:30.519
And you know, and I say, look, you might have

748
00:46:30.559 --> 00:46:33.000
to read four or five or ten twenty books, and

749
00:46:33.119 --> 00:46:35.559
it might take a while, but one day you're going

750
00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:38.239
to find that path that makes sense to you. You know,

751
00:46:38.280 --> 00:46:43.199
we need something that works for the logic that we have.

752
00:46:43.320 --> 00:46:44.920
You know, you put one hundred people in a room,

753
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:47.800
you deliver a message one way, it hits ten percent.

754
00:46:48.239 --> 00:46:50.519
You deliver the exact same information, but you do it

755
00:46:50.559 --> 00:46:53.079
a different way, it hits another ten percent, and so on,

756
00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:57.599
and so you know these many ways that are available

757
00:46:57.639 --> 00:47:01.679
to us. I can tell you this important piece is

758
00:47:01.719 --> 00:47:04.000
that when you find something that makes sense to you

759
00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:10.000
and work, stop looking without everything that is within, and

760
00:47:10.159 --> 00:47:13.679
learn to go within and learn to go through this

761
00:47:13.760 --> 00:47:18.239
process and then begin to trust, you will be given guidance.

762
00:47:18.440 --> 00:47:22.760
You will be given instructions, and you have free will.

763
00:47:22.840 --> 00:47:25.400
You can choose to ignore it, you can choose to

764
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:27.920
do it. But you will come to a place where

765
00:47:27.960 --> 00:47:31.119
you are given instructions and you will follow them with

766
00:47:31.280 --> 00:47:34.719
faith and understanding. Yet you don't know how it's going

767
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.000
to work, but it will all work out for the

768
00:47:37.039 --> 00:47:37.760
best for you.

769
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:41.159
Amen to that. Well, Thanks so much Neil for being

770
00:47:41.159 --> 00:47:43.719
on the show, and folks, thanks for listening. I hope

771
00:47:43.719 --> 00:47:46.400
you really enjoyed this and get a hold of this book.

772
00:47:46.760 --> 00:47:49.239
It sounds like it's something that could be a very

773
00:47:49.280 --> 00:47:52.920
great benefit for many of us that are experiencing different

774
00:47:52.960 --> 00:47:55.320
things in our lives. So this is doctor Doug saying

775
00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:58.239
thanks for joining us and no mistay

776
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:08.639
Mister attend and Ritter
