Speaker 0 (0s): Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the true life podcast. I hope that you had a fantastic weekend. I hope that your day is on the cusp of becoming greater than you possibly could. Imagine. I got a good one for you today. Let me start off with a little bit of this old English type of talk here. Study what thou art whereof thou art a part, what thou knowest of this art.

This is really what thou art, all that is without the also is within. Think about that for a minute. Let me try to break that down. Study, learn, understand who, what you are. What are you a part of? What specific role is it that you perform? How is that relevant to the big picture? What is the whole, the big picture?

When you have figured out what the big picture is, what the hole is, then you have figured out what you are initially. When you begin to understand the size and scope of what you are, it will seem almost infinite. However, after you have thought about it, long enough, you will understand that it is in all its greatness, just a small fraction of the whole don't worry.

The rest is inside. You know, religion is valued, which does not improve the world yet. It should be obvious that action without wisdom, without clear awareness of the world, as it is, can never improve anything. Furthermore, as muddy water is best cleaned by leaving it alone, it could be argued that those who sit quietly and do nothing are making one of the best contributions to a world in turmoil.

I know what you're thinking you think in, wow. George is pretty deep for a Monday, buddy. We're really going to dive in this week. Aren't we? And the answer to that is yes, I've been plagued by this idea, although that's not a really good word because it's not that I feel sick about it. It's just, it's this idea that keeps growing inside of me. And I feel like I need to get it out and explain it and explore it and investigate it. And this idea is the idea of the individual as a process, the idea of society as a process, the idea of culture, everything is a process.

The reason, one of the reasons I think it's so beautiful is in my opinion, it, it just better describes you as an individual, as part of a society, as part of a culture. As part of the world, there is no death. There is no beginning and there is no end. The first shall be the last and the last shall be the first, when we begin seeing ourselves as a process, the issue of forgiving yourself and others becomes easier.

You begin to understand that you did the best you could with what you had at the time. You begin to have empathy for others. When you understand that they too are a process and that you are a part of their process, just the same way they are a part of your process, because we're all part of a bigger process in a way, understanding that you are a process, a magical, beautiful jaw-dropping majestic painting that is constantly being renewed, a masterpiece, a work of art.

So beautiful that all those around you are driven to tears or rage or violence, just being in your presence. That is part of the process. It's much easier to comprehend the world around you. When you can see yourself in it. Let me try to give you another example. Recently in Hawaii, there was a event at the convention center. This is an event that had gone.

I believe it toured around the world. It was like a van Gogh museum of types. However, rather than go into the convention center and seeing several paintings or prints of van Gogh's work and admiring them, these photos were digitized and they were not only digitize, but they were put into motion. I know what you're thinking. You're like, wow, how did they do that? George will think of them digitizing a photo and then putting it into a projector and changing the frames on the projector quickly so that when they, when they, when they shone the light on to the large canvas walls, you were surrounded by the painting.

And because it was moving so fast, it gave the painting, the illusion that you were inside, the painting, not wholeheartedly, like you knew you weren't in the painting. However, it felt much different than going to a museum and just staring at the painting. This definitely had more of a feeling of process. And I think that it's a great way. In fact, it's a sign that we're moving towards more interactive relationships, not only with each other, but with the world around us.

And additionally, the way that we see the world, we are becoming aware that we are the process of evolution of life. We are becoming aware. We are waking up to the idea that it is us. We are the work of art. We are the painting. We are the process. We are the most brilliant movie in the world ever made. And everybody knows that the most brilliant artwork has elements of violence, of beauty, of terror, of sacred, of all that can be considered worthwhile.

And that's what we are. It's almost as if we're in some sort of a novel or I like the idea of a beautiful oil painting that we all take part in and play a part. I believe that you can take an bigger part. If you understand where you're at in the painting, are you currently in the foreground? Are you currently in the background? Are you aware that this is a process that you are in?

Are you aware that the person next to you is a fellow cast member and what role they're playing? If you are not aware of that, I suggest you take a few moments to think to yourself, what role you want to play audition for it, and then begin doing it. It may take some time, but you can practice and get better. What story do you want to tell to the world?

You can begin today? You can begin by becoming that masterful work of art. You can begin by becoming that, which it is, is calling you the process. The pattern is something you can see if you focus on it, think of the process. Think of the pattern as the yellow brick road. Not to be confused with the road to hell, which is paved with good intentions.

Although I think it's fair to say that the, those two paths cross one another quite often, that's probably where we get the idea of the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Bless it is huge shepherds. The week of the valley of death. That's probably a beautiful way of looking at the path that you're on. If you want to know what it is you're feeling, if you want to know what it is, people are thinking about you.

There's a real simple way to find out. And that is by looking at other people and, and allowing yourself to see what it is that you see about them. When you look at your neighbor, when you look at your friend, when you look at a stranger outside, do you tend to see the positive things or you do? You tend to see the negative things. That is a really good barometer of how you feel about yourself. If you're constantly seeing the beauty in people, then it's probably fair to say you're a beautiful person.

If you're constantly seeing the negativity in people, it's fair to say that you're upset with something about yourself. You see, I have a podcast that I recently did with Dr. Anne Marie. Bolkonsky, she's amazing. She's a beautiful person, really smart. She's a medical doctor and a hypnotherapist she's. She was mind blowing to talk to. And I'm really thankful that she gave me some of her time. She has shown me some ideas that I've never even thought of before.

And I would like to share some of those ideas with you. She talks quite a bit about the law of correspondence. She says that what you see in other people, when you see other situations that those people in situations are in fact, a mirror, they are showing you what you look like. They are showing you what you're thinking about. They are showing you how you feel on the inside. They are showing the world who you are.

So if you knew that, if you knew that what you think about other people is what you think about yourself. Isn't that a divine inspiration to change the way you feel and to understand that you can make yourself feel better by helping other people. In fact, you can probably learn a lot about solving all your own problems by helping other people solve their problems. And it can be intoxicating.

It's a beautiful thing to think about. There was something else that Dr. Anne Marie Balkans, he told me that really blew my mind. And it was this idea of a soul contract. Has anybody ever heard of this? It's a fascinating idea. And I highly recommend that you check out her podcast at rapid realization. It's amazing. I will give you a brief summary of what we talked about.

However, you really should go in and look at her work. She's amazing. And I highly recommend it. Imagine what happens before you're born. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, I don't know George. Nobody knows. Well, think about it like this. What, what would happen if you went to sleep and never woke up, right? That's a better way to kind of ease into it. Then you can start thinking, well, I might fall into a deep slumber and have a beautiful dream, a vivid dream, a dream.

So real that it makes me feel as if my waking life was a dream. We've all had vivid dreams. So there is something in the dream world. So what would happen to you if you fell asleep and never woke up, if you think about that long enough, another question will begin to arise. And that question is, what's it like to wake up and never have gone to sleep? That is a description of being born.

So what Dr. Anne Marie and I were talking about is this life between lives. And she talks extensively and very elegantly about what that life might look like. And according to some of the research she has done, she says that while we're in this other state, in this other life, what we do is we have like a different group, a different family, a different world in which we live.

And when you're in this life between lives, your soul, your transcendent self is making contracts with other transcended beings so that you can come back into this world of the flesh and learn. And everything that happens to you here on this world is a learning process. Be it a tragic event, a happy event, your soul, your life, your spiritual being is on a journey to become ever better, to be defeated by ever bigger and bigger things.

And that is part, or at least some of these things that happen in the life between lives, what your daily waking life is, is in fact, the soul contract playing out the little sync, synchronize, gosh, dang, what's that word? The little synchronism, is that the right word? Is it synchronism? I can't think of it. I should totally know that. But these little things that happen to you, be it finding a penny or finding the love of your life or dealing with death or going to prison, dealing with the loss of a loved one.

All of these things were pre determined. Maybe not exactly when you made the contract, but think of, think of going to a school and finding a mentor and that mentor, you make a contract with that mentor. And you say, I want to learn how to do these things. And the mentor says, okay, I'm going to send you into the world and give you a course. I'm going to send you into the world and it's not going to be easy. However, if you follow my instructions and you follow my heart, that it will be signs.

There will be ways for us to communicate. If you look, and that will help guide you through the tricky parts, I will help guide you through the narrow passages. And it just, the more you think about it, the more you understand the esoteric knowledge that is out there, there'll be religious knowledge that is out there. The love that is out there, the more you understand that it's all necessary.

All of it, the pain, the suffering, the knowledge it's necessary. It's for a reason, it may be for a reason. You don't understand today, but it's necessary. I hope that each and every one of you have a brilliant day. I love you all, all let's get up and get out.
