Welcome to the Magic Places podcast.
Before the, Alaska
before clear
magic,
podcast.
Thanks for listening.
I tell you what,
Google emotional freedom technique, Ef t
tapping. I may have mentioned this before. I
may have mentioned in the last couple up
of episodes, but
this tapping stuff, it's like magic. It's so
easy. You can learn it in like, 3
minutes.
You can learn it completely and
in in a 10 minute Youtube video, you
could learn all that you ever needed to
know to to get started and then some.
But I start... I'd I Google actually, I'll
included in the show notes. It's Brad Yates
tapping for resistance.
It's this Guy Brad Yates, and
he's got hundreds if not more tapping videos,
but
I started doing this... It's like in 7
or 8 minute long, tapping
exercise for resistance to conquer resistance. Because resistance
is
the thing that will talk you out. Basically,
the... It it's a
it's a self generated
conversation to talk you out of what's possible.
I think I may have said this in
the last episode. So
resistance
will... If if you wanna write your book,
resistance will come in and say,
that's a stupid idea. Why don't you
go to Mcdonald's instead and so you go
Mcdonald's for the next 7 years?
Literally.
That's that's what resistance does. And so
our job if we are artists or creative
or entrepreneurs is to
conquer resistance,
and this tapping video.
I've done it now for maybe maybe a
week,
and
I'm releasing all the... Maybe a couple weeks,
and I'm I'm releasing all these episodes. I'm
practicing
guitar
at the level
like, in an obsessive way, Like, maybe even
too much.
And I mentioned like meds, like, without any
meds at all, which is way more satisfying.
It's way more... There's just way more fulfilling.
So
start tapping, follow the video that will be
in the show notes. Do what the video
says. And there's literally thousands of videos on
tapping in the,
on Youtube and
all different sorts of tapping channels
and
I think I shared this as well. I
started tapping in
2 days. This is like a year and
a half ago I started tapping in 2
days later. I secured
lots and lots and lots and lots of
business. 2 years worth of business.
It just does something it it does something
to clear the channel
between you and the universe so that you
just start manifesting
immediately or just start doing things that will
lead to manifestation.
Fascinating
stuff tapping. I'm discovering or I'm realizing that,
if you wanna get good at something, you
have to you must become obsessed.
Obsession is
it's the only way
to master something.
I became a surfer. I'm I'm a surfer
because I... Because I became obsessed. I was
obsessed with surfing.
It's like, 15, 16 years ago now. I
just became obsessed. That obsession led me away
from Chicago to the West Coast.
Just following an obsession. And now it's this
thing.
I just take for granted... I just take
it for granted than I'm a surfer. And
I forget the work I put in.
I forget that I forgot that I put
in work, and the same is the same
thing is happening out with Guitar. Like,
you have to put in work. Every single
person I know.
Every, like, bad musician I know has put
in the work has put in the time.
You have to put in work if you
want to become
successful at something. If you wanna become master
or even competent, you have to put in
work. And so
my growth edge just
has to do with it currently has to
do with where
where am I not working? And what could
I be doing?? What could I be doing
instead of slack off basically watching Youtube?
Becoming
becoming irate because of Youtube videos, that's not
work.
It's quite the opposite. It's like
procrastination on speed if there's anger involved. Right?
So
work is basically,
like, engagement with the universe. Are you engaged
with the universe at any given time in
in
pursuit of something? Or are you engaged with
the universe
in service of
getting somewhere new or becoming someone new. That's
kind of how I see work?
As work requires effort.
So where are you working where are you
not working. Now I only
vocational my job, I probably work. I think
about 50 about 15 hours a week.
So that leaves lots of time to be
engaged with the universe in
different ways.
So surfing started out his work, and now
it's just play?
So that begs the question, then where is
the growth edge for work or what does
the next
work
look like. And for me, for me and
for me, it's... I think it's music. If
I if I stick with it,
It's 1 of those things. Like, if you
stick with it, like when your q you
stay. If you stick with that, you'll be
really good and then you don't stick with
it.
That's Skateboarding.
Skater are freaking fascinating people. Skateboarding is
it's 1 of the not
types of work you could put in. Like,
learning a skateboard trick. Jerry Seinfeld has a
quote about learning skateboard tricks.
He's like, you know
can can you believe everything that goes into
learning a skateboard trick and you fall down,
and it hurts and you get back up,
skateboard tricks.
Side note. And I I might have mentioned
this also, like, the
the this there's this
Youtube channel called majority report, and it's just
these...
I
Lacking integrity is an understatement, but it's just
this like anti Trump pro,
whatever
Youtube channel.
And but they do... They they went on
this this seinfeld filled rampage where they're just
ripping on Seinfeld
for multiple episodes, and
it is funny because this collar calls it,
and she reads a quote from the Seinfeld
book where he's talking about
Gym
little behind.
Like, I like... He's talking about how cute
the behind are. He uses the word behind
of these little gym.
In the Olympics. And the average age of,
like, a gym
olympic gym at the time was like 16,
15 or 6 senior 17. So it's it's
really kind of...
It's a little gross.
It's a little gross. And it's just funny
the way. Like, I will give the devil
their due.
In their seinfeld, in their seinfeld rip regarding
little girl's butts.
A Seinfeld though, that's... He's an example someone
who's put in work.
Seinfeld did not happen
from him doing nothing. But So you look
at
look at the successful people of the world
and then look at the work that they
have put in.
Hashtag
work. Where are you working? Where are you
not working?
Is the work you do to make money
so consuming that you can't work on other
things outside of work. Maybe you have a
full time job and your parent, and there's
no time to work on anything else. That
I completely
honor
and
respect that.
Maybe if I'd fallen in love. The right
person I'd have a kid and my life
would looked totally different, but
it's nothing but eternal heartbreak over here for
me, with
So anyway,
this
Trump shit is,
like, what in the actual fuck?
Is happening.
What is happening America?
What is the...
How
is happening
These people are at the Trump rally and
they're like, hey, secret service. There's a guy
with a gun.
He's going up to the roof. He's got
a ladder in this secret service is just
like,
what? In the last in the last episode
I was talking about how maybe it was
Ai or maybe maybe it was just like
a maybe it was made up that
that
they were telling the secret service about the
the
the guy on the roof No. It's definitely.
It's been confirmed.
The secret service let it slide.
Why
would you let
it slide?
That there
are people
telling you.
People tell you there's a a shooter
There's a guy
climbing up to the roof of the building
across the street or across the way from
where the president.
Giving a speech and you just let it
slide whatever. Well, I'm just gonna... I'm not
gonna worry about that. I'm the director of
the secret service. I'm just kinda
let that 1 go. I'm not going to
worry about the concerns of the people who
I'm not gonna concern myself with the concerns
of the people who see the man
climbing onto the roof.
With a gun.
I'm just gonna let it go. I got
other things to worry about today. Like, what
what is going on there?
This friend of mine came up to me.
2 nights ago
and
just told me
that
they saw the iconic
photo of Trump with the American flag you
know, holding his ear,
and they... She switched. She's like, I'm I'm
I'm I'm team Trump now. I can't I
can't help it. I was moved,
I'm team Trump. But there's all these people
that are team Trump now. And and,
you know, we're all entitled to our opinion,
we're all entitled to... Leave what we wanna
believe.
But please don't think that I'm a cook
for thinking that there's something fishy. If you
don't think there's any fishy you think this
is all just
whatever,
just normal stuff, that's on you, you're allowed
to think that if
please don't question
my questioning of it, or please don't
don't judge me for thinking that something might
be up
because I think something's up. I don't know
what it is. I mean,
you can fool some people sometimes, but you
can't fool all the people
all the time. And I think that there
are less and less people being fooled. And
I'm just... I'm just I'm not even talking
about
vote for Trump here or
I'm I'm not talking really about Trump versus
Biden so much as I am, The whole...
The whole thing,
The whole thing. Like, what is happening
America?
Did you see that? National Anthem that that
country starts singing the national Anthem drunk.
What is going on? America?
What in the fuck is going
on?
I don't know. It just... Youtube is your
friend and your enemy.
There's there's just so much out there, and
this is what I've come to realize that
what the media does? They just cut and
paste bits and pieces of stuff that people
say, and they just put it into this,
like,
montage of sorts,
and
and they just sp it out over the
air waves, and it just in in gets
people
in it incite people to hate 1 another.
It makes people wanna kill 1 another. Literally,
it's it's almost like it's feeling a civil
war.
Literally... Like, literally. I don't even mean, like,
a metaphor civil war, a literal civil war.
It feels like that's where we're headed, and
it just feels like there's some
puppet master
in charge who's just sort of cutting and
pasting,
bits and pieces mixed with Ai
to make
me, Dave, hate,
fill in the blank and make
fill in the blank, hate me. There does
not seem to be any commitment to truth.
There does not seem to be any integrity
And so
we gotta govern
ourselves, And how do we govern ourselves? Love?
We love 1 another. We forgive 1 another.
We forgive 1 another because we do not
know what we are doing.
It's really all that we got.
I was talking in the last episode cling
to whatever truth you can get
find something
ancient
and
cling to it as if your soul
depends on it.
Because
it does.
This is just the
most k for cocoa puffs
It's like, I talk about Maya, the architect
of delusion. This is
or illusion. I think it's delusion.
This is like Maya on super crack. This
is like Maya on speed. This is Maya
on fentanyl.
What?
Is happening.
I do believe that there is a spiritual
battle being waged. I do believe that there
are forces of good
aligning against forces of evil. I do not
know
what might be happening.
With our over overlords?
What might
what might the angels who are watching down
on this planet be thinking. What what might
the angels who are looking out on this
planet be thinking.
What is happening
What is the devil dreaming up?
Don't be
a pawn.
I'm certain I've been 1,
several times
in my life.
I just want to know the truth.
I think that the only truth
that there is the universal truth
The only universal truth is love.
1 love.
Anyway, have a great day. Thanks for listening.
Talk you soon. Bye bye.
