I'm really glad you started off with the BAD news first.
I ALWAYS wanted that to be heard when I was a child, but my self centered classmates insisted on hearing GOOD news first, so that - inevitably - everyone would be forced to end up being left in a bad "place" after the news was given.
Really bothered me tremendously, and I thought there was no one else in the world who would see it as I did.
Very much appreciative of the fact that you ENDED on good news - the way it should be.
I can absolutely confirm this video. What makes it absolutely real is I didn't take them anticipating any of it. I thought it would be "trippy" and fun and I'd end up watching a movie and laughing. I was wrong. I did Mushrooms for the 2nd time in my life a year ago, when covid first started and we were all stuck at home. My experience was hard. I saw what type of friend I was from my friends perspective, what type of son, boyfriend, brother, co-worker. It's not that I'm a "bad" any of these things. But I saw the truth, without my ego able to protect me. It was difficult and very uncomfortable. I saw the flaws in my views of the world and of others. I saw the ways my insecurities made me envious or jealous. I became rattled with shame when I saw the games I have played to keep people at a distance for no reason. It was all so unfiltered and I felt like I died. Any vision of who I thought I was, was a lie to myself. I sat quiet in reflection for 2 hours. I took a deep breath and I submitted to all of it. I remember thinking, "don't judge these thoughts, let them in. Just sit with them all" I asked myself questions, why the hell haven't I done X or Y yet in my life? Why am I still behaving in X or Y way? Why do I treat my body awful like I'm 20 still and will live forever? It was an unrelenting assault on every aspect of my life and who I was as a human being without any ego to deflect or preserve my false sense of self. It was an absolute flood that poured over me as if I was sitting at the base of a waterfall of truth. I wrote down a thought I had in the middle of it. 1. Get right with myself. 2. Get right with loved ones. 3. Be right for God. I laughed at this the next day for a couple minutes but I felt a shift in myself. From that day until today, I have a new insight or awareness at all times that didn't exist before. If I'm being a jerk in a bad mood, I see it immediately and shift out of it. I shift away and out of argumentative situational traps, I live and enjoy the moments with loved ones more. I don't know what the hell happened when I did them that day, but I tapped into something inside my core that I had never been able too before because it was buried under so many layers of self ego and self preservation. I was able to keep that pathway preserved afterwards and that channel is something I'd describe as a new self awareness. Id sum it up that, life is short, our time with loved ones is finite, our dreams and opportunities are fleeting. Be true to yourself, Be better everyday. Live in the moment. Be someone worth being around. Every moment of life is either an opportunity to make a memory or an opportunity to create regret. God is more real than the society which makes you doubt his existence every day. I don't watch the news anymore, I don't care about all the fear propaganda. I got married afterwards to that girlfriend, and I'm about to start a new career that I talked myself out in the past. I get less anxiety, I take moments to tell my family and friends I love them. I don't know what the hell happened that day but I tuned into something that changed me and I'm grateful for it. Death of the ego is real. Kill it hard and fast and live your authentic life.
Finally someone speaking truth in this podcast! This is what the world needs from you Joe, this is what you used to bring to the table, people speaking Truth and asking reasonable questions about the world we live in. The world is finally awaking to the grim reality we were born into, and if you really want to provide a service to your fellow humans with your platform, this is how you do it! I hope you can keep it up.
Completely agree my friend. It's clear to see the effect it's having, and so sad too, but on a positive note, I've also never seen or known so many people open their hearts and minds to the amazing actual reality we live in, and I don't mean the 3D one. Love and light my friends :-)
Auschwitz survivor Marian Turski follows, addressing the crowd from the podium, telling the story of his evacuation from Auschwitz just days before it was liberated in a virtual death march with hundreds of fellow inmates of the camp.
Dr. Eric was the first person who introduced to me to world of fasting back in early 2020 (just before lockdown).I will be always grateful to him for this valuable information !!
I fully support the science behind this, despite being a vegetarian. I eat eggs and milk, cheese, all of which require animal husbandry. This is a no-brainer, to support local mixed farming, and high welfare standards for the animals. (Not sure I am ready for freeze dried offal, though. Sorry.)
3:13 That dogo must be one of the most expressive dogos ever. Look at his face, he went from a “f*ck you” face while he was bitch-slapping the other dogo, to an “I’m so lonely / give me food” face when the other dogo was hitting the road. Oscar worthy performance.
