TNT SpiritWorks (00:00)
So the influences of news close to us and far, far away oftentimes ripple out and we can feel a lot of those influences. So in today's episode, we're going to talk about some local things going on and some far, far away and some solutions on how you can ride the wave as we go through everything we're going through. Y'all ready? Wow. Let's do it. It's been a couple of weeks since we've been together. Yeah. Yeah. I've heard from some people that are like, where's Tiger?

Yeah, I'm glad to be back. Glad to be back. Just been on tour. Yeah, riding the wave. I think that's probably the great and appropriate way to talk about all the we use the news as our base to regroup and share about spiritual things in this podcast. And I for me that that big picture of just knowing that there's going to be ups and downs.

2026 is going to have that. That's the way it is. I can either fight the system or I can work with it. And when I forget who I am, where I came from and where I'm going, and that I've got a purpose here, I fight that system. I'll be happy when everything's going my way and I'm not happy when it's not going my way. Rather than...

recognizing it's all here for me. What do I want to do with it? So I relate to that riding the wave. Awesome. How about you, Tom? Well, it's been a great week for me. And, ⁓ it's all about Tom. Now when I say that, you know, I've had some challenges show up and I thought, ⁓ boy, I'm starting to become more aware, you know, of what I'm going through. And, I suppose one of the

concepts I'd like to discuss is that often people, you know, feel like when they're doing spiritual work or ⁓ spiritual work on their own life or they're taking that perspective that everything is all happy and bubbly and giggles and then of course we go to our jobs and then somebody hits us out of the blue with something we didn't expect or...

And but whenever those things occur, I often notice that I have thoughts beforehand that I start picking up on and even have answers, you know, ready, because I do pick up that's, you know, there's I'm going to hear something about this or it's in the it's in the air. So one of the great things about, you know, doing spiritual work or starting to become more aware as I in some of the tools and techniques that we offer, you know, through our subscriptions.

is I find solutions like new ways to move through life that I can implement. Yeah, and I think you said, you know, the bubbles and giggles. Well, that's kind of bullshit, right? Yeah. From what I've noticed is people put more pressure on themselves these days than ever to how to how am I going to get that awareness? How am I going to grow spiritually? How am I to access my intuition and hear my guidance and see spirit? There's so much pressure put on from that. And so

That's what I like about what we share is that meal making it practical. I mean, yeah, the pressure is on because, know, we allow that pressure to be on us. But let's make it practical as we go through and move through these stories we're going to share today and life. So I want to carry on that. So here's an example for me is the latest thing again. And it's sucking up all the oxygen has been for a while. Is this Iran conflict?

and the straight and all this thing. And now we've, know, it's gone open and now it's closed again and it's open and it's closed again, you know, and, um, if I don't, if I don't know where that fits for me, I'm going to be all over the place. I will not have a solution for my life because anytime I gain a little headway for myself personally, like I do have that good day.

or something does go my way, then it just takes one little thing to knock me off my pivot point. Right. And here I go back all into the machinations and again, right. So as, as a person who seeks that bigger picture, I want that to be more one with all, I want to become a master of myself and my energy. This is something that's of importance to me.

So that if I'm going, unless I want to keep suffering right back and forth at all this thing, I'm going to have to rise to something bigger and recognizing, okay, that's a stat situation is going to go through its ups and downs before it gets resolved. Period. Because we've been dealing with it for nearly 50 years. It's just been out of the view. Right. And now comes a situation where, okay, now something's going on and

You know, then you have the argument of whether we should get involved or not get involved. All that kind of stuff becomes irrelevant from one perspective, from my perspective of this. If I don't know where I begin and end, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad. It's going to be bad. It could be everything perfect that we're heading in the right direction. It's going to be bad because I don't know where it fits for me. Right. I'm at the mercy.

of things around me rather than working with a bigger picture. Where does it fit? Great. What do I need to do? Et cetera. I do have other things there, but I just wanted to start that off with that. Good place to start. And, you know, we just had our reawakening regrouping for our monthly membership last night and yesterday, and we had some really great insights around awareness. So for myself, and I've noticed other people, I mean, there's people in Australia and overseas that I'm

you know, have on Facebook and social media and, and people are freaking out about everything, right? And it's, and then it goes into their economy and then their gas shortage, and then this and that. if awareness is key, so having that awareness for myself spiritually of like you're saying, like, you know, how do I fit into this? How does this work for my life? And recognizing that whenever I get stimulated by something that's outside of me, there's something inside of me to look at.

And that's what I love about doing my spiritual work is that each time I can ⁓ actually add to my ring, my tree rings. That was a really cool thing last night that happened in our class is that we, I was talking about the onion, the layers of onion, and one person said, you know, the thing I taught, she works with is tree rings. It's adding to the ring. So that way, you know, it keeps growing and expanding and

That's how I see spiritual work as well as being able to understand and relate to all these mishaps that are going on because it's not just the last 50 years, it's the last million. However long there's people and things on the planet, there's always something going on. So ⁓ my key word that I'm focusing on today is this word called release. And as I look at my experiences,

⁓ through the last couple of weeks as I'm regrouping the month and the insights that I'm getting, ⁓ I've realized that to ⁓ first release some of the bad habits or some of the negative energy that I fall back into, you my old patterns of reacting, being defensive and competing and the things that aren't really that fulfilling, service is fulfilling.

but I have to become aware of how I get caught. rather than put down the situation, you know, like where I get confronted, say by a manager or a business situation or a customer or a client that say in, you know, a normal retail type business that, you know, I can have all these reactions. Well, some of those reactions that I picked up in my first seven years,

They have worked for me. know, like that's the training I got. That's who I copied. I copied people who reacted a certain way. And there's a certain amount of success in moving through life that way. And I think it's reflected, what we're talking about is reflected in the bigger picture. You know, we have a way of reacting to Iran. We have a way of reacting to the president. You know that.

And in some ways in the media right now that works for them. mean, there's however, is it really fulfilling? Is it really moving towards solutions and service? And they may say, well, but we want the ratings and we want the power. Sure. But you could actually probably have better readings. You could put your energy towards more positive pursuits and we could accomplish and achieve more.

which is more fulfilling, you know? Well, it does serve a purpose. Everything serves a purpose. So whether it looks like it's, you know, a negativity or a positivity on whatever side we're seeing, it all serves a purpose because there are those who are at different levels of consciousness energetically, and it's serving their purpose of helping them rise up to the next, you know, area they're going to be rising up to.

Which brings me to my situation, the everyday situations that we all face are so similar to this big picture thing, you know, so like, ⁓ how are we going to react in those big picture scenarios, you know, say with the Iran, you know, situation and war, if I don't know how to react within my own family life, if I don't know how to respond rather, rather than react, and

But you know, pat yourself on the back. If you've had one of those experiences, you go, God dang it, I didn't feel good. And that was pressure. That's a good that you had that awareness. Now we can start looking at how do I replace that with another way of responding. But it's kind of a step by step process. And ⁓ really, that's what I feel that I signed up for here on planet Earth. So one of the words I want to I'm going to

your point about how do I use this in my daily life? That that's what part of this show is all about. So this is the key for me. This is my opportunity right now. And there's a lot of energy going to that situation in in the straight and over there in Iran. So there is a there is change happening. Right? I mean, I like it.

but it's going to happen with or without me. So how do I work with the energy so that I can keep moving forward in what I need to be doing? And so part of that is recognizing what is the energy. The energy is that there is change and there's going to be ups and downs because until they there's a new equilibrium. And what I'm seeing there is this steady, consistent move forward.

And sometimes it seems chaotic and sometimes it seems very clean and clear, but there is an energy behind it. That's moving forward to something. Right. I may not be able to discern all that what that's going to be, but there is something pressing that forward. Meaning if it wasn't America doing it, it would be someone else doing it. If it wasn't Iran, it would be a different country. There's something right now.

about the energy, about this movement forward, there's this direction happening to start things clear and clean again and start new. So I'm bringing that up not to justify that because I'm a pretty live and let live guy. Yeah, we've heard that before. the point is that, okay, how do I maintain my energy consistent knowing

that people around me are going to go through ups and downs. Yeah. How am I going to do that? And if I, if I don't work with my spiritual helpers, that's part of what this, you know, that's why you guys do those regroupings every month and the subscriptions. If I don't know, if that's not my focus, I will become at the mercy of everything around me rather than what I've come to do. so my final point there is

If I know the energy is going to go up and down, right? For those who can't see me, I just imagine that oscilloscope of going up, down, up, down, up the hill, down the hill, up the hill, down the hill, right? If I'm aware of that, instead of going through that roller coaster, I can actually shift my energy to go from high to high. And that's what's working with spirit, working with the bigger picture is all about. Yeah. So the thing that I want to

piggyback on that with spirit and how people relate to situations that are going on is that like, okay, when you're mentioning about direction, right? And I can feel it too. There's a momentum behind what's going on. I feel that with honestly the president, honestly with the situation, but in my life for myself, I have that direction. I have, I can feel my own momentum. So for those out there that don't have direction,

that don't feel anything like, you I don't feel fulfilled. I don't feel successful. I don't feel I just I just get a sense that that's a lot of what people that's why there's so much backlash about even President Trump. Right. He's successful. He's, you know, has more money than whatever he you know, he knows which way he wants. He's very assertive. He maybe goes off the rails and says we're shit, but he does it on his own. He knows who he is. And most people

that I get a sense of that are against him and whatever, they don't have a sense of self. They don't have that inner ability to go, yeah, I am strong and assertive and I need to, you know, that direction. So I just want to bring that up because that feels to me like a lot of, especially what I get a sense of on social media when I read people or I hear things they're saying on there is that they may be lacking that self-direction energy or that ability to relate to.

President Trump or this person or that situation because they just don't have it within them. Does that make sense? Well, what I'd like to, what you stimulated in me and what comes to mind is ⁓ as I have awareness and I add to the rings of growth on my tree, you know, I'm able to extend, I love that visual, like I'm able to extend my experience and my awareness and my, I become more solid with the way that I want to move through life and

and respond because it's easier. Like in other words, I find that that old way of reacting, because it keeps coming, I keep getting tested, like I can't escape it. I just have to, I have to rise above it as we've often shared. ⁓ You know, that really helps. And so what also comes to mind is that ⁓ President Trump can be, is a great,

example of somebody who can stimulate us either positively or negatively. And also the Pope is someone who can stimulate us either positively or negatively. And so I look at these two world leaders and I say, you can see they're still going through their learning experiences, you know, and but, you know, so why am I getting so emotionally reactive towards one or the other?

I'm losing sight of the big picture that everyone's a soul here to learn and grow. And if I, and so let me take that into the workplace. So maybe your boss or my boss comes and hits me with something because they're under pressure. And generally, they're a wonderful person. They're great to work with. They've achieved a certain amount and but they still have their areas they're going to learn.

my approach as a positive soul is to say, how can I be of service? You know, and if you're a religious person, you might say, what would Jesus do in that situation? know, but I'll take it a step further. What would I do? What is my higher purpose? What is my higher self? What can I do based on that service and that love? And then

For me, this spiritual expansion really starts to occur when I start to ask myself, what would I do? How do I feel? What way would I go about it? That's loving of service. And every time I say that and I tune into it, I can feel this backing of energy. And so why would I want to feel anything other than that? Or that big power of that flow being that positive healing accomplishing force.

Why would I want to do anything else? Well, in my first seven years, I picked up habits and attitudes in a way for my survival in the environment that I'm in. And in some ways they've worked some in some ways being defensive or attacking others. It worked. That's why I kept doing it until I find a better way. So it's not, and what helps me is on this school of planet earth, the way I see it these days is

I've got spiritual helpers who've been there and done that, especially in certain areas of my life. And so what we do is we want to help people tune into their own helpers so they can get their own answers for themselves because every situation is a little unique. You know, that my solution might give you some good ideas. Like we heard that idea about the tree rings from, you know, one of the folks we were working with and it was like, wow, that's a beautiful way to put it.

I'm so glad I shared with somebody who's like-minded, who's putting something together for themselves and that has relevance for me. I say amen, aho, brother Tom. Yeah, I think what you brought up that I said is so to the heart of the matter that when I don't have my own direction and my own purpose clear, it's so easy to get caught up on this stuff and it

And when I was in the past, that would happen to me. Like, you know, the Trump character would just eat like, what are you doing? You know, and it's like, he starts sending me into all these thoughts and you know, then my energy starts fluctuating with the previous administration before him. It's like, what, what is this? know, so without my purpose, without my direction, it's, it's just

Okay, now I'm riding off everybody else's waves. But the moment I come back to that point, that I what is my purpose here today? What do I need to be doing? I'm aware of that great. All that other stuff gets so much easier for me to discern where it fits. When I'm in that flow, we were just regrouping before this in the green room that

I need to be cautious about trying to analyze and dissect things when I'm under pressure. When I'm feeling pressure, when I'm not in my niche, when I'm not feeling good, I need to be sensitive to trying to figure out the world's problems or my problems rather than saying, okay, I'm under pressure here. Let me get back into motion. Let me get back flowing forward.

And the moment I get myself back into that feel, think, act, that some of the techniques we do in the subscription that you guys do is when we get back to that feel, think, act, then I can start coming back and discerning things. Then I can get that full insight from spirit. They're always there to help me. This is the, this was the big aha for me years ago was I used to think it would kind of come and go kind of thing.

Where the, the insight would come and go like you'd hear songwriters like, I've got to capitalize and write this song down while it's here. You know, and I, and I can forget that that creative energy is always there 24 hours a day. It's a constant. It's like a river that never stops. I'm the one me. I'm the one who isn't open.

I'm the one who shuts down from time to time and not stay open. It's because of those things you're talking about Tom, that that pressure that I can buy into my maze, the things that works against me. I'm the one who shuts that creativity off. It's always available to me. It never stops. So that power of having my own direction, having the true concern and the love, but

that to me that all comes after is able to come more consistently because I'm respecting myself. I'm respecting what I've come to do. I'm managing my energy, my direction and what I need to be doing it to me. That's this. That's what the learning lesson is here from this current news event that is affecting things globally. If I don't come back and say great, that's okay, then I'm to be paying a few more coins for ⁓ gas.

So I just need to be alerted what I'm going to do. I can't be dilly dallying. Right. It comes back down to that. Otherwise, I'm going to sit at the gas pump, bitch whine and complain about something I have no power over. Right. Other than a voice and a vote. I guess that's power. But what is that doing to me? It's just dividing me inside and talk about health. How do I have health when I'm under stress? That's ridiculous.

to think that that's going to happen. when I come back to say, okay, here comes those thoughts, Ole those thoughts. Now, thank you. I'm aware of it, but that's not going to help me. It comes down to that. So it's not avoiding it. It's not avoiding it. It's saying, what do I need to be doing? Where do we, was that fit in my life? Yeah. So we've talked a little bit about the straight of her moose over in Iran area. And, ⁓ now I would like to just,

pose a little bit more closer to home for us here in Iowa. We've got some situations that are around, you know, health in the sense of we have a a high amount of people who have cancer here because of a lot of the pesticides and stuff out in the fields, it goes into the water, our drinking system, fertilizers, our drinking system here is not so good, the water is not so good.

There's also a lot of young people who are no longer staying in Iowa as soon as they grow up they leave so the population has decreased some and there's also a lot of farm lands that have been bought up by They're not certain who because there's no there's a thing where you can't share who actually bought the property But they're thinking it might be some places overseas in China and different places and they're building data centers and all of these things that are occurring here

that are up for change, just like around the world. I just wanted to bring that forth because ⁓ we're having a new governmental government, a governor race soon. And there's a gentleman named Zach Lahn Lane that I just have found recently. I was just like, awe of all the things he brought up. And he's Republican that I think is disguised as a Democrat, but from the way he's talking.

But anyway, ⁓ Democrat disguises Republican. That's what I mean. Yeah, disguised Republican. Yeah. But these things that happen close to us that stimulate us and get out and get us going with how do we work with the local stuff because it all ripples out. So I want to bring that up and just see some some sharings around the situation. Yeah. So I'm sorry. Did you want to go first? Well, how I relate to that is ⁓

What I can see there is that we're becoming more aware again. So this, my theme of awareness of what's happening around the world, like, you know, in terms of UFOs and UAPs and farmland in Iowa, and that the assumptions that we've all made about say, family farming and, you know, where things are going, it's all changing. And so, ⁓

As I get that awareness at times, I'm not always thrilled with, oh, that's a new picture. That's not what I thought. I have a lot of trust in our water supply from the municipal governments and so forth over the decades. But now we're finding out there's heavy chlorine and nitrates. Yeah, we just had ours tested. It was bad. those kinds of things and hard water. And I'm still alive, so I'm not.

super overly concerned about it, but it it is an eye opener, you know, like the awarenesses. And so ⁓ we seem to be living in a time where a lot is being revealed, you might say. And the way I relate to it in my everyday experience is that I'm beginning to recognize ways I've reacted to things my whole life that have not that really aren't fulfilling.

Like I like, I like putting it that way where I'm feeling that I'm being imposed upon in life or things are out of my control. So, ⁓ that's what really strikes me about it. yeah. The local is always needs to be where the most of the power is for me from, from my perspective, you know, it needs to be a triangle in that the most of the power needs to be at the local level. And the further out from my community,

there's less and less power that should affect me. ⁓ Meaning that the federal government should have the least amount but can affect the whole, but the majority of it needs to be at the base. So the concept of the local thing is pretty potent for me is it's a fundamental for me. And I think that's the part that I'm getting from what you're sharing. I don't happen to actually know that candidate that

that you were bringing up. But one thing I'm getting from it is the voices are all starting to come back to what's the foundations that we're going to be a part of. What's the fundamentals that we're going to come back to? And I'm actually going to link these stories for a minute because we're in a spot for the next year and into a bit the following year, 2027, where all this is going to come up.

This is whether we like it or not. And there's going to be a correlation to what we're seeing out there in the major governments out there around the world, ⁓ in our own backyard as well. They're going to, there's going to be some similarities in that we're going to have to start fresh. We're going to have to start coming back to the bedrock to what we're building because there's been a lot of misuse. been a lot of rot, not only stuff out there.

But even in my own life, I need to come back in and say, okay, let me recheck my foundations. And one of the things you were bringing up Tom in the green room was that there's old things that worked for me that got me here and they may be inefficient. Like we've, called them the maze sometimes our first seven years. which is like all the emotionally right intellectual ways we react to things, But our parents keeps us away from our true feelings of

Right. And so it's like a maze. I'm trying to work. That's what it feels like. Yes. Responding to life like I'm in a maze. And so that's, you know, that that can be heavy duty stuff, you know, and some people have it supposedly worse and some people have it supposedly better. I mean, there's a, think there's an old, ⁓ philosopher's thing. forgot which philosopher it was. says, if you put all your, your experiences and troubles in a line and everybody could see each other's troubles.

you'd be very happy to take your own, right? It's like, okay, I'll take my own thanks. Cause you don't really see what the other people are dealing with in their life. And if you could see here's my point for bringing it up is as bad as it ever was, it got me here. Right. And, but what can happen is now with this new energy,

this new, this, ability that to move forward faster. It's almost like a pioneering spirit, right? I'll feel friction. I'll feel friction with the way old things were and what is necessary now. What is my upgrade? What do I need to be working with when these stories come up, whether it's local or national or international, how am I working with my energy? Am I going to move forward?

with that inner leadership. To be a good follower, you have to be a good leader and to be a good leader, you got to be a good follower. And if I want to be of service, I need to have that inner leadership. And so to me, these are all linked. That energy of making sure I come back to my local, starting in my state of consciousness, how's my physical body, into my home.

into the community, et cetera, right? And that's what I'm getting from what you're saying. It's like, ⁓ I need to come back to that basic thing so that I don't try to go out and prove the whole world when my own backyard is still overgrown and a mess. So to me, that's the power of that, where I start looking at these basics. What do I need to do right now? Not go make a big

thing out of out there, what do I need to do right now? And that starts with me cleansing. That starts with me regrouping every day where I begin and end and tapping into these, these tools and techniques that we have, ⁓ like these subscriptions that we regroup on every month, give me something that I can come back to and remember what I'm here for and the power of what I do have and not get caught up in all that stuff out there because

The final piece is when I'm in that place, how much more healing do I bring into the environment when I go to work? How much more fun and fulfilling is it when I go meet people for the first time? There is just a totally different energy when I'm feeling good and I go out to the workplace or meet people or meet family. Then when I'm feeling down or heavy,

or there's something torturing my thoughts, I don't respond well. I start reacting to everything. coming back to that feeling of, it starts with me first and works my way out. And that's the energy we're in. Well, so that's interesting because the foundations or the fundamentals that you talk about with Mr. Lane, who's the Republican potential for governor that I was listening to recently.

He comes from a family, the sixth generation farmer. His family's farmed for over 130 years in Iowa. And so his love for his family, he's got eight kids, the land, know, his parents and grandparents, everything came from and came into and built on. I felt in his heart, like I, you know, and so for myself, that's always back to my beginning too, is I love my family.

I love the roots that I've set and what's growing and how am I feeling about the daughter who's having children and extending that family and how much love I have for that. And so he really just stimulated that in me, the love of where I live at, my community, and how it's all going to look forward moving together in that direction. So I think it's important that those foundations and my direction

are very solid. and I can and it starts with the feeling. And I just felt so much love for what he was presenting and the way that, you know, he's trying to bring forth. if he's out there, you've got a fan. If you're out there, you got a fan. Well, it strikes me is that, you know, there's people for the times and when the consciousness around us is beginning to sort of.

I feel like there might be something different here. This isn't quite fitting anymore. What's going on? And so, know, we're all about helping people trust themselves. Like I go back to that, well, what would I do? What would my higher self do? What's my response? But boy, that takes a little bit of inner leadership, which is just having a little bit of discipline and also working with like-minded people as they share what's worked for them and what they're becoming aware of.

You know, in some of these tools, the things I like about the subscriptions is that we read, for example, the theme of the month, I've been sharing how it reminds me, oh, yeah, I'm a soul here with a bigger purpose. I'm getting that positive reinforcement. You know, if it's not fulfilling to feel that life's imposing on me. So why am I playing that game of I'm suffering here and I'm being opposed upon? Why don't I go back to

my inner leadership. And so the more I practice, the more confident I get. And the more I share with others, the more that positive reinforcement. Great example of how this is helping me personally is that we did, we had a regrouping we have for the folks who are interested in that are involved with our subscriptions with this with the Wayshowers College. And ⁓ we, ⁓ you know, we had a great time, we cleanse and we had some techniques and you know, we

raised our energy, I go into the work that I go into outside of that. And my energy was just high all day, I noticed that where people are sitting next to me, they're talking and getting to know each other at like where there's a place where they go and set things up. And I could tell it, you know, I'm getting really positive responses from the people I'm working with. And

I, you know, before I tuned into it, I could feel that was going to happen. But there's a real great example of why I want to lift up my energy is it just seems like we're all having more fun. It's nothing I'm saying or doing aside just being myself. And just people feeling the energy out there, you know, one positive light to help all of us re relax a bit and enjoy ourselves. And it was it was amazing.

I, in a way I expected it because I was feeling great and regrouped and I knew that that would probably happen. And then boy, but right before my eyes, I'm watching it all, you know, getting behind a wave of energy that's that's cresting and getting ready to come down to the beach. Yeah. I mean, we talk about these subscriptions and, and, you know, I'm not trying to sell something to people. This works.

I do it because this works. It's like if it didn't work, I wouldn't do it. And I agree completely. ⁓ We had a program a little bit ago and we do so many techniques at these different programs and courses and so forth. And my goodness, just one. We've got hundreds of techniques. It's unbelievable. But just one.

can just set the energy not only for the day, the week, the year. It's unbelievable. We were talking about doing this point to point technique. You can show the people on the regrouping that you do. But I was at Wanaka in New Zealand a little bit ago. And there's a hill out there called Roy's Peak. And it's a pretty famous climb.

And it takes a couple hours to get up there. And it's not a lot of switchbacks. It's like going up the zigzag up a mountain, right? And so the hill usually takes anywhere from if you're an accomplished person, probably two and a half hours or something, or up to five hours to get to the top. And I knew I had not been climbing up there.

I try to stay active, but it's just a different type of exercise, climbing up a hill. And so I went and did some of our techniques before I started. And I just set my energy. I had my focus. I did some things. And I got started. And I catch myself every so often. OK, let me read. starting to feel down. Do we do the techniques? go to it. And just like you, Tom, I had a blast. I had a blast.

I was talking to people that would be able to god. Are we almost there? Are we almost there? You know and and it took me Bottom line is it took me about just over three hours and 20 minutes to get to the top And I hung out up there was got some great pictures and stuff and regroup myself and then I came down I was a bit faster coming down, you know, and I I mean it was a You know, I was sore for a couple days, but I'll tell you if I hadn't

gone back to those foundations and fundamentals that we work with, I would have been just like soup sandwich for a week. But because I kept my energy up, yes, I was still sore. Yes, I needed to stretch. Yes, I needed to go do I felt it. But it just was different. It just I felt the recovery faster. I felt my energy lift, you know, met

people, all this kind of expansion happened. And I felt great after I recovered. I mean, I felt like a million bucks. So just these foundations coming back to this point of whether we're talking about, you know, these international things with Iran, or whether we come back home, we work with our local situation and what's happening there. If I come back to that basics of, okay, where do I begin and end?

What do I need to be doing? There is no limitation. I only get caught in limitation when I start putting things outside of myself. When I stop being of service, starting with myself. It sounds funny to say it, right? I'm sure if someone never heard that, you got to be service to yourself. But if I don't have that love and concern for myself, mean, genuinely not some idea of it.

How in the world is that gonna help? There's no way I can go out there and do that for other people. anyway, lot there, but it just, foundations and stuff that we have are just over the top. Yeah, for myself, the wrap up is looking at whatever's going on around the world or whatever's going on locally close by my house and my environment and community. It's all moments for myself to recognize.

how much growth I've had and where am I at spiritually as far as, know, am I stimulated greatly and does that stimulation last four hours, four days, four weeks? Or am I able to recognize what I'm feeling and then shift that energy to stay okay with whatever's going on outside of me? Yeah, and get back to my true feelings, get back to that fulfillment and have more of that rather than less of it.

but it takes ⁓ practice a little bit of that inner leadership or maybe inner discipline to go, nope, not gonna wallow in that. Okay, I didn't feel good, I'm not happy about it, great, let's move on. Here's how, I reacted this way, I got defensive. Well, that's not loving and being of service. That's just me thinking I need to protect myself, so let's move on. ⁓ But you know, practice. Yeah, and my wrap up.

I'd say is that ⁓ I can tell in my feelings that things are still going to be rocky in front of me. And my environment is going to be can become chaotic because of change. ⁓ but be knowing that gives me the power to be in charge of my energy. And so for these

both for these stories as things come back to their fundamentals, as things change out there. I know that that's going to happen. I do also know that because I'm relaxed about it all, I know where it fits for me. I can relax and discern better what's going to happen. can I can be smoother in my communication with people. I can be smoother.

in how I'm going to work with this information and and be able to capitalize it spiritually well capitalize it materially well so that I'm not caught in it I'm actually working with it but bottom line is I know there's going to be some ups and downs still but I can feel the energy heading to a positive solution

Cheers to that and cheers to you listening to another episode of Spiritual Perspective Discerning News. We hope that this episode and some of the insights and solutions we may have proposed maybe spark you to have something you might want to release within your spiritual essence and ⁓ help you settle into a new reality of how to be aware of what's going on around you and how it instigates and affects you.

So until next time, we will see you soon. Bye.
