Finding Inner Peace Amid Life's Challenges

How external circumstances can influence inner peace and its importance in personal and global contexts is what this week’s episode covers. We reflect on recent events, including political situations, and the dialogue emphasizes the need for balance between intellect and emotion, the role of leadership in fostering peace, and the significance of timing in life's opportunities. Ultimately, the conversation serves as a reminder that true peace begins within oneself and is essential for navigating life's challenges.

"I was radiating peace (from) inside."  In this conversation, the speakers explore the theme of peace from a spiritual perspective, discussing the importance of balancing intellect and emotion to find and maintain peace, the role of inner and outer leadership in fostering peace, and the necessity of finding inner peace amidst the chaos of life for personal evolution. 

 "I come in alone, I go out alone."  What does that mean?  They also emphasize the significance of self-awareness and the impact of one's inner state on external circumstances, ultimately advocating for a peaceful approach to life's challenges.

TNT SpiritWorks (00:01)
So the keyword I got this week for some of the stories that we're going to discuss is peace. Good keyword. Yeah, there's been some major stuff going on. So guess the first thing that came to my aura, I'll say, since we're talking about spiritual stuff, is the Trump and the release of the hostages. So I think we should probably start there with diving into, you know, what's the piece that came out of that situation.

Yeah, I mean, I think the keyword piece is the right one for me as well. The feeling there is this is one of those examples. I think we're to be talking about another story that talks about the intellect for me. And this is an example where you have that out of balance, that two natures, right? You're feeling nature and your intellectual nature.

This is an example where the feeling nature goes out of whack and it needs that organization, a little bit of structure in order to balance it out. And so that, that conflict has been going on for a really long time. And so it, it is to me, it's all based on that feeling energy and that out of balance feeling energy work that can go off.

So it, what's immediately stands out to me is it takes a bit of structure and organization to put things in place. And then there can be peace. Then there can be a place where all that energy is channeled. Cause there's a lot of energy there. So how come it's in conflict? So to bring my, when I'm start feeling out of whack,

inside, I need to have a little bit of structure, I to have a little bit of organization to channel that energy of mine. Otherwise, it's like, it can be like a wild animal. So that's the first thing that really stands out to me is having a little bit of order or structure helps to channel things, where if I don't have it, it can get not peaceful. What about you, Tom? Well, the word peace for me was particularly relevant as I was

moving through my daily life in the last few days and that I became aware of how when I'm dealing with other people, my guidance gave me that word a couple of days ago and I was at work and when I was dealing with folks who were getting annoyed and impatient and those kinds of things and they had different expectations and I had to manage their expectations in a sense.

that keyword peace was really the one key word. As I was moving through my day and as pressure would kind of come up or move in or that being out of balance, I would, I'd just go, okay, peace. And I really tuned into my feelings, more kind of in my gut level of just like feeling peace.

And I thought that's the solution. No matter what's going on around me, I'm a healing light if I'm in that feeling of peace. And so what that enabled me to do was stay detached from people's situations like their personal aggravation, you know, because they don't have the facts is what it's going to take to set up this device or do these things. And, you know, then they they think somehow people think by getting impatient.

That's going to make it better, but it doesn't. It's just, you know, fact finding has to be part of the process of how long this might take, what your options are. But the real key was to as long as I was radiating peace inside, instead of feeling their pressure that settled everything around me. And I found that as I went through my day, it was like a lot easier. Yeah. For me, back to the story with Trump, what comes to me is how

No one really knows the journey of a soul when we're here. And so as Trump being a peacemaker, a person who is stepping into that role, as we know, other countries don't really, they fear him. So he has the ability at this moment in that role to be a peacemaker. So as I contemplate that in my life and how

you know, I may come up to situations or with people and I have to figure out how to make peace within me. So these are all just mirrors of, of kind of what, you know, what we're all going through. Right. But in honoring those that step forward as peacemakers, that feels important to me because of the fact that we all have the opportunity to do things in our lives that might surprise people. And so

That's where the piece comes in for me is his ability and his energy to create that in that situation. Yeah, I, you know, this is one of those things where let's give some credit where some credits do. I have, you know, my, my loggerheads from time to time with the administration and certain things that they do. But this is one of those things that it's like,

that's an energy I wanna be part of. Whatever disagreement I may have about how much money they're spending and all that kind of stuff or more government, less government, all that kind of stuff, when there's something there that I wanna be a part of, need to be Johnny on the spot with that. I need to be right on board with that. Not for anything outside, but for the things inside I wanna be a part of.

That the other thing you were sharing, Tom was it only takes someone who has a little bit bigger picture and organized to be able to, corral or wrangle those who don't have organization, those that don't have that sense of bigger picture and peace connected. And I'm not necessarily suggesting.

Trump is that guy, but he has more of it than what they've got. And to me, that's a perfect example of why I, we need to have balance. Because if I don't, then my piece can be upset by anything around me. It's gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna open the door to confusion for lack of a better word, where

instead of me being in balance, me having that big picture, me having and honoring what I want to be a part of, IEPs, then anyone can come and rattle my cage. So, you the fact that this is happening, there's a tremendous amount of credit that needs to be given. And it also shows that there is something ripe there, right? It doesn't matter how

great I am or how great somebody is, if the situation isn't ripe, nothing's gonna happen. Right? That right for the picking. It's ripe for the picking. It's ripe. The fruit is ripe. So that's another thing to be aware of is that there's been enough going on of late, where now it's like, okay, we're open to that. We're ready to do something about that. But to me, the key also is just being really aware. Let's give

Let me give credit where credits do because I need to be a part of that. I don't need to be involved in conflict inside me. I want to be involved in peace inside. And that's the other thing. The final thing on that is my predecessor used to say, we will always have war outside until we have peace within because it's a reflection of that because there's

Always people at different states of consciousness There's always souls coming in for the first time and there's always souls moving out for the last time So we're always gonna have these different layers going on So amidst all that if I don't have if I am NOT the peacemaker within If I'm not that peacemaker within not to say I don't set my boundaries, you know, I can get heated but if I if I had that

piece within, nothing can take me off of my course, nothing will take me off of my purpose. And that is ultimately what I'm going to regroup with my guidance on. So it strikes me that that's a lot about, you know, what I experienced and what I was sharing about is, I'm at this table, and I'm dealing with lots of different people around the table, helping them set up, you know, their equipment and instruments and devices and things. And, you know,

It struck me as I've been regrouping lately with my guidance is to feel less pressure and feel more of a flow as I move through my day that as you're saying, there's just different levels of consciousness and there's not because somebody comes in impatient. In fact, one time I had was dealing with a fellow who hadn't slept in 24 hours and I'm wondering, you know, why is he so ornery and what's the deal?

But, know, over time I've worked it out. But the best thing I can do is stay relaxed as opposed to get my back up and going, well, how dare you talk to me like that? And, start feeling that inside or feeling that impatience that I just want them to get out of here or get rid of them or not deal with them. And I think that in our daily lives, in my daily life, you know, that can be a pattern to fall into when I'm out of balance is just not want to deal with it, escape from it.

instead of looking for the opportunity for me to be a healing influence and then starting to recognize if I'm in a certain place at a certain time and then somebody's sitting at the table next to me and is like be open to why that person as a spiritual leader be open to why that person just happens to be sitting next to me at that wrong table, you know, waiting for somebody to help them and

And then it's interesting because I had a discussion with this one person that showed up and I didn't realize it right away. was kind of like, she's at the wrong table, you know, but I started showing her something and then, we're going to take some, was showing her something to do with the selfie and she's like trying to jump in and give the peace sign is what she did. And I thought there's something more to this than this person just waiting to be served, you know, or service. It's like there's.

She was there for a reason. I don't know what it was, you know, was just to have a chatter or touch base with my energy. I'd love to get some feedback on this one.

when I'm in my rhythm, when I'm in my peace, when I'm doing what I've come to do, that statement of people are just in the right place, it's like there are no accidents. And it's like when, that's part of why we always talk about being in balance and being cleansed. Because when I am,

It's like the universe conspires to bring the right people around me, even sometimes if it seems off, you know, and that's, know you've talked about that in the past when you're just being yourself, how stuff happens. Absolutely. And the word that comes back is the ripe. Yes. So like everything in the situation is ripe for the picking. Yes. The people show up. I'm in the right place. And that's really what's happening around the world right now.

in certain areas and then I know you're also going to bring in some upcoming meetings that's coming up. So there's energy ripe for those events to happen too. Yeah. And so like one of the other stories we were talking about is they've got the pre-meeting setting up between the America and China happening in Malaysia there. And what I was struck by there is going back to that right thing is how

This goes for me, this goes the other direction. I remember we're talking about when the feelings go out of balance, how it just takes a little bit of organization and structure to help corral that and channel that into a more positive thing. This is an example where you have the opposite for me, what it stood out to me when I had that, story of them coming together soon and had the pre meeting. It's like that China has that amazing ability to plan way ahead.

Like that's part of their culture. Like they think a hundred plus years, generations ahead, you know, my, my great grandkids will be doing this. And so their moves are set up that way. That's part of how they, their makeup. And so typically a lot of other people come up there and it's like, it seems like a good thing. then before you know it, a couple of years down the track, it's like, happened? Well, you know, they think way far ahead. So that's an example where all that.

chess moves are happening in the background, right? There's all these pre things that are happening. The distinction is, is that people are getting wise about that. They're like, wait a minute, you guys really think way, way ahead. And so why I'm bringing that up is because when I get, when I get over organized, when my intellect, my thoughts start running amok,

I start complicating things. start trying to outmaneuver. I don't want that pain to happen again. So I'm going to protect myself over here and I'm not going to go over there. I don't want to meet that person. So I'm not going to drive over there at this time. You know, all of a sudden it's amazing how we try to defend ourselves with our intellect. And in that situation, I'm realizing that the only way out is up. I need to go back to my feelings and that

It, that's like, it cleans all that complicated stuff out. This is what I want. Now, how do I go get it? Right. In the way that's the most beneficial everybody wins that it just neutralizes all that confusion of chess moves and, I'm going to do this over here. And this group putting tariffs over there. It's so that that way they will have negotiating room over here. And then we're going to do this over here. Like all of a sudden someone who comes in and just say,

Listen, this is what we're going to do. This is where we're going. Are you on board or not? All of a sudden, all that fancy movement gets thrown to the side. More focused. More focused. So I have to come back to my true feelings. What do I really want? What do I really need? And now let me work with that situation because that cleans half of the problems.

So you're looking at me as if what I wanted to talk about was ripe and that as opportunities come up and don't come up and you know, there's times when I've gone pursued, you might say, I guess this word certain opportunities. And I've noticed that when the time's right, they just seem to doors open falls in place. People make excuses to deal with you, you know, or to be

have you around. When the time is not right, it's like you could do a great job, but nobody's paying attention. And I, I think a lot of success is just, you know, I really think that's an interesting point is being in the right place at the right time, but in doing the right things, as a friend of mine used to say, like taking action. So you could be in the right place at the right time, the situation is right, but I need to follow through.

And I guess for me personally, it's just being involved, but always having that inner authority to respect the peace within myself and allow myself to improve incrementally. You know, as a visionary, as my first gift, like, you know, when I'm out of balance, I hate to look bad. You know, I want to look good all the time, you know, in terms of performance or what people say. it kills us. mean, visionaries.

out there will relate to this. It just kills us. Other gifts, they don't really care. It doesn't bother them. It's not the same. There's other things that maybe throw them off a little bit, or the tendency. But when I'm in balance, that's not such a concern. There's always progress, and it's one step at a time.

The thought that I also have is that, you know, things may also fall back into old familiar situations after making some progress, say in the Middle East. If it falls back, it wouldn't surprise me. But that's progress too, because we from a big spiritual picture, it's like we move forward spiritually, then it comes back. Okay. All right. Now we know we need to go forward. You know, it

It helps with all that. And I think so for me personally, it's that kind of thing as well. You know, I might not have won the sale or I won the job, so to speak. I, but I learned something from it, or I can incrementally improve my communication with others or, or, you know, not even so much with others, just with myself is just what am I feeling?

Why am I allowing myself to feel any pressure whatsoever? Because especially as you get older, you know, it's just all a big game. mean, kind of a thing. So ripe for the time has a lot of meaning to me. And it's something that struck me all through my life that despite what people say, you know, and you can have all the right answers and wonder why didn't that work out? It's just.

there can be a timing and a right, you know, timing. So there you go. What do you think about that? What do you feel about that? Well, what I'm figuring about that, especially this situation with the Middle East, is that how it really relates to, you know, there was peace when the hostages were released, but then Hamas went and terminated a bunch of people right there.

which we saw online, right? So it's kind of back to what you're talking about with different states of consciousness. And that's how, you know, our lives are too. Like we are encountering different states of consciousness every single day. Some people are going to be up, some people are going to be down, some people are going to be wanting to shoot people, some people are not wanting to love people. And so it's really a representation of how we all roll in one little area.

which is obviously a very powerhouse full area because there's so much going on there right now. And there always has been, right? This is just a moment in time of this happened, but we know that area of the world is how many thousands of years been in turmoil. But in representing the fact that there's all kinds of energies going on there, and also back to the States where I had heard some of the mainstream ABC, CBS, NBC,

weren't really covering the fact that Trump did this. It was very minuscule. so, and that goes to their, you know, that side of the, of the aisle, so to speak, where they're not really, they, they don't, you know, embrace him. Like if it was Biden or Obama, it would have been like the biggest F deal. Right? So that's an interesting perspective too, because of the fact that, you know, it is a big deal what he did.

Yeah, and so but their state of consciousness is what I'm getting to the state of consciousness of the people who are actually in those positions at the different You know media places. Well, if they don't want to embrace it, they're not going to Yeah, the I mean this this leads up to another thing what I'm hearing you talk about is Knowing when and how to play the game of life You know going back to the the whole hostage releasing and so forth

and also how, you know, who's covering it, who's not covering it, you know, how they're wielding it, you know, I need to play the game of life. I need to accept the way things are here. Otherwise, I'm gonna hinder my own growth. When I don't accept myself as I am,

and I don't accept other people, I am cutting off the inflow to my life. It's that simple. And part of that learning opportunity being here on planet earth is accepting all this stuff that goes on here. And a lot of it is not great, you know, and it's, you know, you have to learn the hard way. Don't do go over there because they do that over there and this kind of thing.

And so as an example of that is it's also where if I play the game too much, if I, if I forget that I'm playing a game, that it's I'm here from the big picture and just here for a little bit, I need to do what I've come to do, enjoy the process as much as possible, you know, have self-respect as I work through society. If I forget the bigger picture part of it, I can become a master manipulator.

That's a big thing. And that's where all the maneuvering happens. And then this one wants to say, you know, Trump is the second coming. And this one says, no, Trump is the devil. You know? And so then what happens if something changes that up where in this case, Trump really helped facilitate this situation. Then it puts the one group and like, well, I told you so. Right. And then they get righteous about it. And then the other group.

has to then start maneuvering, right? Like, okay, well, we don't want to get out of the graces of our own people and our own people who are buying our product. like, so then they have to maneuver stuff, right? And that's the game. And that's the game. And if the next time around in the next cycle, the next whoever is going to be in power and then the thing switches, you know, and it's all the same crap, you know, but I bring that up because

It's important for me to respect and honor playing the game of life, but not get caught up in it. Otherwise I am at the mercy of those things around me. You know, at least in the Western cultures now, the big thing is about, you know, you know, we've had this situation where there's some groups that were oppressed and you know, we should have reparations. And, and I think that community should talk about that. If they want that community should do that.

But the issue that starts coming up behind it is force. Am I going to force people to do certain things? Because I start enslaving, I continue that energy. I'm getting off of my little tangent here. get off, I get out into that same energy that it was. I start bringing it into the present by creating more things with it. So if I'm not careful about remembering it, I'm here to just play the game of life.

then I'm going to be caught up in it. And all of sudden I'm going to recreate all the troubles that I've had and things are to get complicated rather than a means to an end. Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day. Well, that reminds me of that, you know, story in one of the books that we work with, in His Universe, Man in the Universe, that's, you know, available through the Wayshower's College through our links is

A man moves to Mexico thinking he's going to change everything and his life's going to be better. And then, you know, so many months later, all the same troubles start to show up. And as one who's moved around quite a bit around the States and also around the world, you know, I found that to be pretty true. was in, you know, until I started to take a look at my habits and my concepts that, you know, I was getting caught up in and being

almost remaneuvered into those situations. You that's what I wanted to share a little bit about too, is how, again, it's on the macro level, we can watch this happen, but also within families, within myself, I can, I can get so used, people can get so used to feeling a certain pressure, a certain way, you know, or needing that pressure to go do their work or go work.

that they'll start recreating it again or a certain pressure they get in a way comfortable with a certain pressure in relationships. it's that's what's interesting about the whole thing. Again, bringing it back to we love to talk about the bigger picture, but bringing it back to my own personal life, I start to notice, you know, the only way out is up, which is

How do I maintain my peace? respect myself to stay peaceful inside as I'm being of service, rather than fall for, I've got to be under pressure and I'm not working hard unless I'm suffering, you know, instead of well, no, my goal is to work smooth and flow and enjoy it and that kind of thing. Even if it's manual labor, you know, take enough breaks that I don't feel so tired and and

instead of hurting myself because I overdo it. Well, I think that's the unique aspect about some of these stories that come together that we share each week is the fact that they're really stimulants. Yeah. Some good stimulants and some not good stimulants. And so it's really, you know, a look at how do we deal with stimulants? Yeah. Well said. Yeah. What's what throws me off my path of feeling

happy and free and in balance, in balance with the intellect, the feeling what stimulates me. so, cause I'm in situations right now where there are people that dislike certain sides of the, the, of the table, say, and you know, and there'll be some bitching and some groaning and some moaning. And then when things happen like this week, there's nothing right because they're not stimulated. They're not, you know, instead it's, it's almost like a,

you know, a bearing down, like, geez, you know, but nothing is said. Yeah. So that's the interesting thing for me in these stories is, you know, how am I stimulated and how do I stay at peace within as I'm seeing things going on, especially in the world that I may like when I saw them, those people being, you know, shot in the head. That's just that's horrific. That's disturbing. I was like, my God, that stimulates me because how many lifetimes have I been where

Maybe I was a shooter or I was the person being shot at, I mean, like it's, you know, it brings up a lot of things. So yeah, stimulants. Yeah. So like, which reminds me, and we haven't, there's another story floating around where, Hungary is going to, host the, Americans and the Russian get together, right. And to see if they can bring the Ukraine war to an end or find some kind of thing. know,

They've been trying to do this for a while now. But what stood out to me on that one was when I was looking into the story that Hungary is allowing Putin to come in and not be arrested because the international wants to arrest him. ICC wants to, has a warrant for his arrest for international crimes.

And so Hungary is going to allow that him to come into that country and not be arrested and then have the talks there. And part of it was that Hungary is pulling out as a member of the ICC. So they're no longer being a part of that. And, and the reasoning behind that was because the ICC is getting political. They're, starting to be more political. This is the, this is the, what they're saying.

why that Hungary's pulling out of that. And what that brings me to in the conversation you're talking about the stimulant is that the moment a group which was probably a good thing started, but the moment they allow social to get into the business or personal to get into the business, all the good stuff that was there, gone.

All the good stuff that was there, even the stuff that is, is right and correct. all becomes suspect. Cause because I don't want to be around serious stuff where now I'm suspect of their integrity. Right. And so how am I going to have peace? How am I going to have that feeling of what knowing when to move in, when to move out, when things are ripe, if

I don't maintain my integrity of where I begin and end. And that's your, for me, that's your point about, when my gal or guy wins, I'm so happy. Or, when my gal or guy doesn't win, I'm so sad. And some of that's natural, right? In the politics world, my gosh, it is like, I don't ever remember politics being so important. No. In life, it's amazing how

The 24 hour news cycle has made it, you know, big deal. And now you have everything in their phone. It's in your face 24 hours a day. So it's just everywhere. So it's even more opportunity for me to know where I begin and end, to have fun in life, to remember life as about it being an adventure and be of service amongst that adventure. Otherwise,

I am going to rise and fall depending on who's in charge, depending on whether my baseball team or cricket team wins or loses. I have a bad day now. Right. It's a game rather than, well, that's too bad. I kind of wish they would have won. Okay. Well, let's go have a beer. You know, it's like any excuse will do for me to be happy. And that only happens.

if I know what my purpose is, if I know why I'm here. Otherwise, I am a little bit of this little worm that gets moved around by the dirt and the current and everything around me. That's what eventually happens. Yeah, and I think the, you know, in the greater collective, as Teresa likes to say, out there in our environment, you know, there's, there are concepts that

people buy into whether they're true or not. And in fact, I noticed that they'll share their concept like, you know, you have to work, you know, hard or you have to. I've seen some of these things, particularly at work, you need to do this and you need to do that and then you'll be successful. And then I noticed that they don't do that at all. And yet they're very successful. You know, they know how to play the game.

of what people want to hear. And there is a part of me that has to play the game once in a while, you know, depending on where I'm at when in Rome, you know, do as a Romans, but the thing that I guess we all have to watch out for, I have to watch out for, you know, more so is that sometimes, you know, getting a little too involved in the game, you know, like I'm playing the game and then I can get kind of sucked into it. And it's, it's great to be able to cleanse.

work with my guidance and go, well, okay, I would have preferred that it came out differently, but let's go have a beer or let's go have a cup of coffee or let's go, you know, listen to some music or something like that. So what do think about that? He always asked me, what do you think, Teresa? Well, the thing that's coming into my mind is about how in the spiritual aspect of what we're, know, of our journey,

we all have that part. We have spiritual, material, and physical, right? And so, there's so many people right now waking up. And as people wake up, there's, I want to say, a soul quake within them. Hey, there's my book, Soul Quake, right? So, there's inner shakings, inner quakings, and there's inner instability. So, as these stories that we're sharing each week, especially this week too, with about peace,

There's so many people that haven't that aren't able to access peace within them at this moment in time. Right. So stories like this and other stories are just going to stimulate that inner peace, that inner quaking, that inner shaking that they don't know. There's no way out of it because there's they don't understand what's really going on. That is why it's so important. Why we speak so much of be a way shower. Right.

be a way show, a W-A-Y-shower, because if I'm living my life as an example, rather than, you know, don't, don't, you know, do what I say, don't do what as I do kind of thing, you know, the hypocrisy part, when I'm doing the best I can, I actually give power to people to rise.

Right. Even if I'm on the other side of politics with somebody, or even if I'm on a different side of the, of the game, you know, of the opponent, or even if it's a coworker or maybe a relationship that is scone sour or something, if I'm being an example, it's difficult for the confusion to get a hold of things. And it's also difficult to stay in the mud. You know, when I'm in one for myself and

The people around me have to choose to go back down in the mud. That's the amazing thing. I noticed with some of my earlier, you know, experiences where I was maintaining that peaceful feeling. And I noticed that that people after a while started to relax around me and it was easy to work with them and that kind of thing, you know, so it was, and as I got used to feeling that feeling, it's like, I'm never going to approach anything else.

only this way from now on, know, and, and I was just practicing, you know, I, as the days went by, you know, it's like, I can feel that little concept move in or that little energy move in, you know, or wanting to move in of impatience or, know, something. And I went, no, it feels way better to just feel relaxed and peaceful and, go more with that flow. Yeah. I love the way showers from perspective you're bringing in because

the energy and the echo that I put out when I move through my day is a big deal. And we all have it. So and some people are more positive, some people are not so positive. And also, yeah, like my workspace, too, there's people that are, are upbeat, and there's people that aren't upbeat. And so, you know, not interacting with them and not having their energy influence me to and bring me down has been a big deal. And I've had to work through that in the last year, because you know, I'm

I come in pretty enthusiastic about being alive. about, you know, being in a space of, you know, learning something new and having a new experience. And a lot of people are pretty, are pretty pulled down by life. Yeah. Yeah. That's it's,

I come into this world alone and I'm going to go out alone and no one will raise my state of consciousness, but me. No one has that responsibility and it's no one has that capacity, but me. There's many people out there that will help, but in the end, I need to know that it is my responsibility and only I can raise my state of awareness. Only I can graduate.

No one else can do that for me. So knowing that having that, I'm saying this for the listeners, right? Cause knowing that is the part of helping me get a little detachment, not indifference with people, not separating myself from people. I need people. love people, but I need to know that in the end it's me who raises my state of awareness. It's me.

who's gonna make transition one day and go with my guidance. No one else is gonna jump in the coffin with me. know, that's the end of the day, no matter how much they love me. Or the crematory. That's right, but you can count on that for me. So that, what I'm hearing you say is that energy of that being enthusiastic because you're on your own, you know who you are, you know where you begin and end. And so many people could do that.

If they just remember I come in alone, I go out alone and I, it's my responsibility to raise my state of awareness and I can do that with love. I can do that with people. I can do that through relationships. As long as I'm not, as long as I'm willing to let go of the problems, let go and let people be free. Then I will have everything I need. You have peace. I'll have peace.

I mean, it doesn't preclude me for having some ups and downs in my life, but I'll get there faster. I'll know where I need to go. And that goes back to the right place at the right time. People will just show up. Yeah. And, I liked when you were talking about, it's not indifference, you know, I'm not being indifferent by staying peaceful. I still have a desire to be of service and have people have a wonderful experience or, or,

you know, a clear energy flow, whatever, you know, that's a spiritual words for it or something. But, you know, I want to do the right thing by people or help be helpful. It feels more fun. It's more fulfilling to be helpful or to be of service and, you know, deliver in business to deliver what I sold them or deliver what I'm selling kind of thing so that they get the most out of it. we started talking about peace. yeah, I

I have a final join together with peace. have a final story. It's an inspirational story. I didn't tell you about it in the green room. So there is a man who climbed Mount Fuji, I think in Japan, he's a Japanese, and he's 102 years old. That's up there. He's 102 years. He was a climber in the past. So you know, he did have that background, but he had a heart issue.

and it put him down for a while and he re he brought himself back. Right. And so he took the the easier trail, but he took this trail. It took him three days. It's it's normally if someone's real fit. Yeah, you can get up there in about six hours. But it took him about three days and he had to stop. But there he was. One hundred and two. He's now in the Guinness Book of World Records climbing out, climbing that thing with his daughter, who's 70.

They went up and so it was just a little bit of an inspirational story to say that, know, he, there was a few interviews, things with him of how he was just, to me, he exemplified that peace energy was talking about. just, he's just in the moment, you know, and he had to, and he had to pause and stop and like, okay, I'm just here, you know, okay, well, let's put up shelter. Okay. We're just going to go here. It's always that.

that same energy, but that's the one of the inspirational stories that I picked up today. Beautiful. Yeah. I think that's very inspiring, especially with, coming together with the other stories around peace and around. how an individual finds peace within the world, you know, and this, and how he goes and finds his own opportunities. Despite what's happening around the world and all these drama stories, he's going to go do his thing.

And it's, think that's, that's probably a good one for me to remember, you know, like when I'm involved in my day to day work, or service, I don't have to be caught up in, I, you know, what's happening around the world. I have to be aware of what's happening in my world and sure get caught up at the end of the day or the beginning of the, you know, just get a briefing, know where things are at, you know, in the areas that I need to be.

and maintain some awareness, but 99.9 % of the time, I'm not even involved in any of that. I'm looking to be of service and work my business and be in relationships and all those good things. Is that your final thought? Yeah. Do have a final thought? Yeah, my final thought is, we've been revolving around peace and how...

That's part of my plan. You know, I come, I come with a plan in life spiritually and peace is a part of that. Whatever my uniqueness is, right? Of the specific stuff I need to work on and whatever my blocks are, peace is going to be a component of that because that is part of my measure. It's part of the measure. Peace and freedom are part of the measure of how I feel inside when I get

with people and certain circumstances up and down. Okay, that how am I doing? You know, it's, it's almost like I'm a barometer. How do I feel at peace? why not? Or I feel, Hey, well, I'm going to keep doing that, you know? And so coming back to that pivot point gives me strength. It gives me purpose and order to what's going on in my life. So kind of

using this gentleman, you know, climbing a mountain at 102 years old. It's like, because there's energy for him and he's tapped into that, that is to say he has his loyalties clear. He knows that loyalty to himself, loyalty to the small unit, loyalty to the bigger picture. Like we have all these loyalties, but making sure that I know where I begin and end first. And then everything I know where it fits.

I can be enthusiastic at work. can't like, I can see you're all pissed off. You know, okay. I'll make sure I roll those punches, you know, or Ole that one. because I know where I begin and end. I know that my measure when I come back home and I'm checking, or even if I'm there in the spot and I'm checking with my spiritual helpers, I'm checking in, you know, with a big picture, how do I feel inside? Am I peaceful?

Do I feel free? Because that's going to be my measure of where I come home to. Yeah, I think for myself, it's so important that understanding that I'm on same parts of myself. And that's what's given me real peace in moving through life and moving through situations, ups and downs, the challenges, the obstacles, and the good times, but recognizing that I'm able to access that bigger picture of who I am as a soul and an

I have backing all the time, so I'm never alone. Even a lot of people feel alone. You're not alone. There's backing all the time and you can just call them in. for myself, that's a big, a big part of peace is knowing that part of me, the spiritual part. Yeah. If I want to be a peacemaker, or be a peace lover, I have to have that feeling of peace within me first. That's a good one. That's really good, Tom. So

That was very peaceful. We hope that you enjoyed a piece of that P-I-E-C-E of the P-E-A-C-E. And we thank you for listening to the episode of Spiritual Perspectives at Cerny News. And hopefully you'll find some peace as you move through your days listening to all the things going on out there and how they may influence you being in balance with your intellect and your feeling part.
