- Most people live their entire lives without knowing
what I'm about to share with you in this video.
And it's a pity, because if you knew these concepts,
it would completely change your entire life.
Now with transformation, with personal development,
with law of attraction content, with spirituality,
what I'm about to share with you goes not against it,
but it shows a completely new perspective
on all of this stuff
that it's completely changed my own life.
Now, first off, let me say that the root basis
of what I'm sharing with you has to do with understanding
that your reality is a direct reflection
of what you believe to be true.
However, normally what you learn
when it comes to the law of attraction,
normally what you learn
when it comes to personal development
is you learn how to shift into a new identity,
to a new version of yourself.
And there may be desires that you have
and you really, really want something.
And you'll find that the more you want something,
the more resistance you create,
the more you emphasize that,
where I'm at right now is not good enough.
And the thing that I want to point your attention to
with all of this, that will change your life
if you begin to look at it like this,
is you cannot change the mind from the mind.
And the ego, which is the mind,
it's desire is to never be satisfied, to always want more.
So when people wanna attract love,
what they do is they say, well, I'm not...
I want to attract something out there into here,
and they use their mind to do so.
But what happens is then they become attached
and that resistance blocks that thing
from actually just simply coming into their life.
But the thing that I'd like you to become aware of
is just how backwards this whole entire system is.
They call this the law of reversed effort.
That is that the more effort we put into things,
the more we try to change things in our life,
the more we try to control things in our life,
the more we try to get people to like us, whatever it is,
the more we try, the worse it actually gets.
And that's because the more we try,
the more we emphasize that right here, it's not good enough,
I need something different.
The key to the transformation is realizing
that awareness is 90% of all transformation.
It's simply becoming aware.
Become aware of the beliefs, the thoughts, the labels,
the stories, the people that you're attached to.
And when you become aware of those,
that's where transformation really begins to start,
because then you can see
that the belief you might be attached to,
the person you might be attached to,
the label you might be attached to,
you can see that it's not actually rooted in reality,
it's something just believing to be true.
Believing that this person's gonna bring you happiness.
Believing that this job is gonna be the thing that you need,
this house that you get is gonna be
the cure to your happiness,
when in fact you could be happy right now.
You have within you the tools, the capabilities
to feel good right now by being in the moment,
by being here.
If you just simply drop the belief
that you need the love to be happy,
you need the house to be happy,
you need the career to be happy,
you would release resistance and you would be happy.
And the irony is that then when you're happy,
you will then attract things even easier.
You will then notice that these things come
as a natural reflection of that new energy.
I've spent a lot of my life chasing different things,
chasing external validation,
chasing a certain amount of money or abundance,
chasing love.
And as I've chased all of these things,
I've noticed that the more I chase,
the further away from it either I feel,
or once you get it,
if you have a certain dollar amount you wanna make,
you make that dollar amount,
then what happens is you want more.
And the reason being is because we keep trying to escape
our own level of enlightenment, our own level of awareness.
And the funny thing about enlightenment is,
I think it's this thing that people put on a pedestal.
And enlightenment is just this present moment right now.
It's being present, it's being here.
It's bringing the awareness into the body with what is.
The mind always wants to figure out what happened
or what will happen,
and it's caught up in the stories of the past.
So don't get it mixed up either.
A lot of the current challenges and maybe stuck feeling
that you have in your life right now,
it's the momentum of past attachment.
That's it.
It's the momentum of past attachment.
And then when you recognize that
and you can see and become aware of different things
and actually feel what comes up,
you then begin to dissipate that energy.
And then you set yourself to maybe on a new path,
but the more you become okay
with the present moment right now
and you embrace the present moment
and you embrace even the unfamiliar, the unknown,
the more magic life will be.
But first off, it's the recognition
that the mind that's always trying to control things,
the mind is the ego,
and all it wants to do
is it wants to keep what's happened in the past,
it wants to keep that in familiar territory.
So it remains attached
to people, places, things, labels, stories.
And the key to you being happy,
the key to you attracting what you want,
the key to everything is just simply letting go
of the false beliefs that no longer serve.
When you watch the movie "Matrix,"
you see Morpheus there with his little glasses
talking to Neo.
And he basically is helping Neo become aware
of all of his beliefs.
All of his false beliefs, his beliefs in reality,
his beliefs in his capabilities,
not recognizing that those beliefs that he believes in,
whatever that is,
what his capability is, what his potential is,
that's what's keeping him boxed in his reality.
The process of transformation
is simply about becoming aware of the beliefs,
knowing the beliefs are not inherently true reality,
your beliefs are just something you picked up along the way.
They may have been something your parent gave you.
They may have been something your family members gave you.
They may have been something you thought
you just had to have in order to fit in,
not be kicked out of the tribe,
but you can choose to let them go.
Realize you may think thoughts,
but you are not your thoughts.
You may have beliefs or labels,
but that's not even who you are.
They're just something you've picked up.
And because you've picked it up, you can also let it go.
How do you let it go?
If you're walking,
imagine you're walking and you're going on a hike
and you have these big rocks in your hands
and you just simply don't know they're there.
And you just keep carrying them around
and then eventually someone looks over to you
and says, "Hey, you know you can let those go.
You don't have to carry those with you anymore."
But the challenge is that you look at these rocks
and you're like, 'Well, my mom gave me this rock,
my dad gave me this rock.
There's so much meaning to it.
They just have kept me safe before in the past,"
and there's a story to why you hold onto the rocks.
And also your parents had rocks
and their parents had rocks and your friends have rocks.
So basically, what this is,
is it's buying into the tribe mentality
of believing you're supposed to have these rocks,
because you were given them and you've just always had them.
But then you look over
and you see that there's this one person
who's just sprinting up the hill,
who's like enjoying the creek and is swimming
and they don't have rocks.
And then you realize, wait,
there's a potential to where I don't have to have the rocks.
They don't have to keep me safe any longer,
even though they're familiar
for me to carry and lugging these things around.
So the thing that I'd like to just nudge you to do,
prod you to do is, why don't you just let them rocks go?
They're heavy.
Yes, they may have kept you safe for a period of time,
yes, your mama, your dada, your friends,
everyone has the fricking rocks,
but you don't have to have the rocks anymore.
You can set them down.
All transformation is,
is there's awareness that you're carrying rocks
and it's the choice to let it go,
knowing you're gonna be safe.
Actually, you're gonna be even more free.
But what if I leave my friends and family,
because they have rocks
and it weighs them down all the way down the hike
and then I can actually go up here?
You see the thing is,
is that's what the mind will try to do, the ego.
It wants to keep you safe.
It wants to help you believe
that you're never gonna be loved,
or you're never gonna find, on your journeys, other people.
You will.
The thing to realize is that,
most people live their whole entire lives
attached to the mind, because the mind's jobs, by the way,
is just to keep you safe.
It's not bad.
But if you identify as the mind and you live within it,
then it will continue to be something
that you stay trapped in.
There's this other dimension of life.
It's called the present moment.
It's called source, it's called God,
whatever energy you wanna call it.
It is constantly flowing through all of us
and it is available for us to witness whenever we want.
Just simply look at this view.
I'm not bragging about my house or anything.
I'm just showing you, like God is all around us;
source energy, the universe.
All it is asking us to do is to let go
and to be here now.
And understand that the mind is trying to control things,
because it is attached to outcome,
because it believes the false belief
that if I have the love, if I have the job,
if I have the house, then I could be happy.
It's attached to outcome.
But what if source energy,
which could flow through at any moment,
by us being present to the moment,
bringing our awareness into our hands and into our feet,
us being here right now,
what if there could be even more magic
that's brought into our lives, but we're limiting it,
because the mind thinks it knows best?
And all the mind is really trying to do, by the way,
it's to keep you with familiar emotions of your past.
So the question is not,
how do I shift and become this new identity?
How do I attract this person to my life?
How do I get this?
The question is why do I believe I even need those things
to begin with?
Why do I believe that that's even gonna make me happy?
And why am I attached to the freaking outcome so much?
Because the mind is always projecting itself
to the future when it gets this thing.
The mind is addicted to the dopamine of the possibility
and the past of how things happen.
The key is being here now, being present to the moment,
putting the awareness in your hands and your feet,
knowing that where you are right now
is beautiful and perfect.
And it might sound...
Your mind might be going, it sounds too simple.
That's the mind trying to keep you in the past,
trying to get you figuring it all out.
The biggest block to figuring it all out
is you believe you have to figure it all out.
If you just become present to the uncertainty
and be okay with not having it figured out,
you would probably figure more stuff out.
The more we try to control, the more outta control we feel.
The more you try to do anything,
the more you try to fall asleep, the harder it is.
The more you try to climax and orgasm during sex,
the more you won't do it,
because anything you're trying to do
is amplifying that it's not, you're not there.
And instead source energy, acceptance of this moment
of everything is all around us.
I think the thing that holds a lot of people back
from what we call enlightenment,
and I'm not enlightened or claiming to be enlightened,
but is that they're seeking it.
They're seeking, they're looking, they're trying to find,
they're trying to get perfect, they're trying to,
how can I let go of even more stuff?
Really what this is though,
is being here and now in the present moment.
These last two or three days,
I've been doing something different.
Normally before bed, I watch like shows and stuff
and mindlessly do stuff like that.
And lately, I've been just either reading a book,
meditating.
And normally, the books are awareness books,
like Anthony de Mello or something like that,
that inspired a lot of this energy.
But I'm realizing what I wanna teach
and what I wanna bring into the world
is I wanna embody more of this energy is,
this awareness, the stillness, being okay with where we are,
knowing that that helps us on our goal anyways.
But it's realizing
the key is being here in the present moment
and stop doing things because of where it'll get you,
being attached to the end results, instead being here now.
Human being.
And when we do things, because in the end of itself,
it transforms everything,
because then we enjoy the process more,
we release resistance more.
"An acceptance of a negative experience
is the positive experience."
Something I heard from Mark Manson,
who wrote the book, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck."
If we can accept a negative experience,
it's a positive experience.
So the key to this transformation
is really just the awareness
and the allowing ourselves to then be this way
and to, yes, have goals, to have intentions,
but to come at it from an energy of being,
of being present to the moment.
So with that, and with that energy,
realize your whole entire life can change
once you become aware of your attachments,
you become aware of your mind,
your ability, your tendency to control
and you simply make the choice to become aware of it.
Awareness is 90% of transformation
and then you just simply put down the rocks.
You let them go
and you see how much more free you will feel.
So there is also,
from this vein of awareness I'm talking about,
over the last four or five years,
I've spent over $250,000 on seminars,
on books, on masterminds, on educational courses
and everything to learn three main concepts
that I think will completely transform your life.
One of them is what we're talking about right now,
is similar to it.
Check out this video right here.
I think it'll completely transform your life
and help you understand more
about everything we're talking about.
In this video, I'm gonna save you nearly $250,000 worth
of seminars, workshops, masterminds, coaching.
Everything that I have learned over the past five years,
I'm gonna share with you in-
