Spiritual Technologies: The Secret That Changed My Life.

Episode Description – Spiritual Technologies: Secret #2

“The Future Now, Negative Contracts, and the Spiritual Technologies That Shape Your Life”

In this episode, Tombo Baldwin returns to the mic with his signature mix of honesty, humor, and spiritual insight. What starts as a simple story about a stubborn bathroom scale turns into a powerful lesson on gratitude, mindset, and the unseen forces shaping our lives.

Tombo dives into Secret #2 of Spiritual Technologies—the often-overlooked tools we all carry but rarely use intentionally. From the stories we tell ourselves, to the emotional energy we choose to cultivate, to the subtle “contracts” we make with our words, this episode unpacks how everyday thoughts actually build—or block—our future.

You’ll hear:

• Tombo’s vulnerable (and hilarious) moment with a glitchy Amazon scale
• How attitude, imagination, and felt emotion pave the road to the life you desire
• Why negative self-talk attracts more negative outcomes
• How to spot and break “negative verbal contracts”
• The power of “future now” thinking
• What neuroscience, spiritual law, and personal practice reveal about manifesting a life you love
• How small wins in the quantum realm lead to big transformations in the physical one

This episode is a candid look at someone actively walking out the journey—not preaching from the mountaintop but learning in real time. If you’ve ever battled your own thoughts, wrestled with your identity, or longed for a deeper, truer experience of life, this conversation will resonate.

Spiritual Technologies are real.
 They’re powerful.
 And they’re available to you—right now.

Hey, I just want to tell you today's episode is one you're going to want to listen to. Of course, you're going to want to listen to all of them, but this one in particular, I think, I know it's going to open your eyes. Just hit my podcast intro music and I don't hear a darn thing. Don't know why. So, well, oh, I think it actually did play, but I'd love to hear it. So, sorry, we're going to do it again. Oh yeah, there it is. Uh, somebody was messing with the volume on here, at least on my end, is what I can hear. So, I don't feel like I can start till I hear that music. Hey, welcome all you yuppers and I so appreciate you. You are the people that are changing the world as you change your lives. I just appreciate you. Every time I run into one of you and I know it doesn't necessarily mean you listen to the podcast, but I run into one of you and what I mean is those people that are awake and they realize what being awake means and they look at the world around them as a place where they can express their gifts and make it a better place. And thank you for being those people. Hey, uh, just an update. My brother is doing great and I'm still not going to tell the story. And I actually, I tried calling him on Friday and I'm just a little bit worried because he didn't answer and he hasn't called me back. But as far as I know, he's doing great. He is recovering. Well, his journey is not over, but he's doing great. And if you want to know about me, I'm just going to be truthful here because this has been a season. If you listened to my last episode called mama, you know, this has been a sealing season of, uh, Oh, discovery for me and just getting rid of some baggage and then acknowledging some things. It's, it's all three of those. And I'll just tell you, I'm not discouraged. I'm super excited. And this is actually going to play in to this podcast episode, but our scale, we have like an Amazon scale and I'm not saying anything, anything bad about Amazon, but it tends to have some quirks. And when you really want to weigh yourself, there's this thing on the back where the batteries go, that just pops out the tiniest bit, the little cover, you lock it in place, you don't do anything to it, but it pops out and it stops working. And I know this is pathetic, but let's, uh, because I know we all have pathetic moments and I'll just share you one of mine and you'll be like, Tom, that is so pathetic, but I don't want to pick the damn thing up, flip it over, undo the little battery thing, pop the batteries in and flip it back over. So I don't weigh myself and guess the story that I tell myself and it's not a bad story, but it really doesn't help me out. So is that good or is that bad? It's probably bad actually, but I'm not being negative, but I'm like, dude, you're doing fine. Your pants still fit. You're short, still fit. Well, today when I fixed the battery and I was just like, because you know what, we're going to sidetrack a little bit. I've been feeling like crap and, uh, only for a couple of days, but I realized, dude, you're not doing the things that make you feel better. And so guess what I did? I did yesterday and the day before things that make me feel better, such as going on a walk, riding our stationary bike with, uh, the EWOT system, which I'm going to talk about here. Maybe I'll do that podcast after this because EWOT is actually amazing and it's not going to be a super long podcast, but anyway, it's exercising with oxygen training and it is phenomenal. So I did that. I drank some ozonated water. I took my supplements. And, uh, so today the mindset and everything was just like, instead of, I don't want to do that. Oh, I can do that. And I can do that. And so today has been a good day, probably why I'm actually in the podcast studio, but let's get back, Tom. What did the scale say? Well, the scale said, and I'm taking it as good news and I'll share with you, uh, what I'm doing to take it as good news, but three one 7.6. So yes, that is 317 pounds 0.6. It's the heaviest I've been in a very long time. Usually when I kind of max my weight is around three 15. And so I'm 2.6 above what my normal max is. And in this season, unfortunately, my low usually never goes below two 86. But today, as I looked at that scale and my first thought is, and this is when we're going to get into this podcast is secret number two. Um, and it will have a sub, uh, title also, but at three 17.6, I said, I'm so grateful. It's not three 20. And I just let happiness and Troy fill me. And, um, for better or for worse, I'm just like, dude, you have been paying no attention to what you're eating. You're eating whatever the heck you want. And it's only three 17.6. Dude, that's amazing. How can that be? And I'm walking around the house and I'm so happy. And I'm just like three 17, man, we're going to rock this. We're, we're going to drop down. I thought I'd be like three 25. We're going to rock this. And you're like, Hmm. I, I don't know how to put this. I don't know how to really explain it, but it's a great example of moving into secret number two. And that is beginning to have the life that you really want to have. A lot of people call it operated in the quantum realm, manifesting the kingdom of heaven, whatever you want to call it. It is when you begin to manifest those things where you truly desire. Okay. We're not talking about carnal pleasures or addictions. This is stuff. As you're getting healthy and whole, you're dealing with your hurts. You're dealing with the wounds of the past, or even dealing with the wounds of the present. Maybe you have somebody in your life right now at this time that is continuing to, uh, apply hurts on you. And, um, you are having to change your mindset around this person and maybe even limit your access to this person, which is not always possible, but, um, just changing the narrative for yourself. Uh, this is for you. And so, uh, Thomas, I have a little brain flatulence. I'm sorry. I, uh, this is kind of a hard topic for me to discuss. Not in that is hard is that I am right in the fricking middle of learning this. And I am seeing things begin to manifest into my life. I'm seeing those pure desires because before it's just like, ah, give me more sex, you know, and I'm definitely have a taste for alcohol. I would imagine I would have a taste for illicit drugs. Also, if I let myself go down that road, now we're, we're talking about the pure things where I'm in falling in love with the community around me. I'm falling in love with my family. I'm falling in love with knowing people are waking up to the truth. And in this day and age that can be classified as anything, but the truth really is, is, uh, the purity, you know, let's just go down the road of psychedelics. And when people do psychedelic drugs and you can have an argument about it, but especially psilocybin, the biggest thing they come away with is love and they just experience unconditional love and just joy and a place of acceptance. When we're talking about the pure things, that is what I am talking about. And if you're listening, I think you would tend to agree. So what I want to talk about today is something that I think falls under a lot of people use a lot of different vocabulary around it. What I'm going to call it is spiritual technologies. It has these ambiguous things that we have all kinds of names around them, but truly I like the calm technology because they are, what would you call it? Modes, methods, um, things that operate in the quantum realm that begin to bring that life, that begin to transform you into the person you want to be and the life you want to live. You have to utilize these spiritual technologies. And when I gave you my little story at the beginning about the weight, one of these spiritual technologies is this narrative, this positive narrative came. I wasn't lying about my weight. I was 317 pounds, 0.6, but I have been working so hard to develop this attitude of gratitude and just this internal bliss that just flows out in regards to everything that I could look at that 317.6 number, right? So let me tell you how I would have done in the past. And maybe this isn't it. 317.6. You're so fat. Oh my gosh. What have you been eating? You do, you are out of control. Turn around, look at myself in the mirror. Oh my gosh, you are so fat. Oh, it almost makes me sick thinking about the self-talk and even verbal talk. And as I would look at myself in the mirror, what kind of things came out? And I think most of you can relate because that's a normal response or maybe more extreme or less extreme, but somewhere in there, a normal response, which is negative. And unfortunately, in the quantum realm, negative attracts negative. Negative does not attract the opposite as we have in our world with physical worlds with magnets and negative attracts negative. And so as in the past, I would spew that out, what would happen? More negatives, guilt, shame, condemnation, feeding myself full of negative energy, just packing it in. And so the scriptures, the holy scriptures, what some people call the Bible, I think the text we have today is limited because politicians and stuff decided what would be in the Bible and out of the Bible. I think the holy scriptures are more expansive, but part of the text we have now talks about, Jesus talks about out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. So when I, through this process, fill myself with negative energy, negative words, because words are energy, and if you don't believe it, I'm sorry, you're wrong. Try changing your words and you'll experience, and we've talked a lot about that here, full of negative. So when I interact with my family, when I interact with people's negative, and so as I go out and I'm filling myself with negative energy, I'm also filling other people and helping them attract negative energy. And whether or not you believe in the spiritual realm, the quantum realm is real, and there are malicious entities in the quantum realm that feed off negative energy. And when you're pouring that negative energy into yourself, and maybe it's not weight, maybe it's your nose, or your cheeks, or something about yourself you don't like, and you want to get fixed, or you're just not happy, you know you probably can't afford to get it fixed, so every time you look you're just like, and just filling that negative energy, just know that you're feeding a realm of maliciousness. And that's not to guilt you, that's to inform you here, because at the Yelp podcast, it's all about information and knowledge that you can act on. So this morning, as I'm doing that, looking at the scale, and I'm not doing the negative, I'm doing the positive, I'm just like, oh my gosh, I am so grateful. And I have to say, when I first started this, it felt really phony, and I really had to work, and I don't necessarily know how to help you do this, but that you just got to continue to do it and try. But generation, generating exciting emotions within yourself about maybe a reality that isn't challenging, because you can certainly look at it from two different ways, and I am definitely looking at it from the positive way. But I used to, when I started, was just starting with gratitude, and then I started to begin envision like smaller futures that were positive, and the emotions I would have around those, and just really putting felt emotions, generating felt emotions to that. Now, there's an interesting book out there, and I probably will do a podcast on this by Greg Braden, and he talks about in our mind that they've done, and I don't remember kind of scans and stuff, but watching people did this activity, and I believe it was eating something where somebody actually picked up a spoon and actually ate it, and then somebody else watched them do it, and then somebody else, it was described to what this person was doing it, and all three people had the same brain response that experientially, they had the same response from the one that did it to the one that watched it to the one that heard it described. And so, in your mind, your brain, and this was the insight from the study, viewed all three of those as the same. One was real, but then the second one was watched, but the brain engaged as real. The third one was heard, and the brain engaged as real. That is a spiritual technology right there that you can retrain your brain, because as your brain believes is real, then you can engage your emotions. So, secret number two is spiritual technologies are real, and I'm talking to you about a couple of them, probably the two most important, and I've expressed one of these in the past a lot. Your imagination is so essential. It is your future. It is the roadway. It is the paving machine. It is the plow that's taking the debris out of the way, and as you engage your imagination, and you're focusing on the positive reality that you want from the deepest desires in you, those pure good desires, and it's okay to tweak this a little bit as you go along, because you're going to learn as you go along to tweak this, but the first is you have to engage your imagination, and you have to make it descriptive, not vague. Some of you are really great at imagination exercises. Some of you really suck, but the point is we can all get better through practice, and so it is beginning to practice, and so what I want you to do right now is just agree with me. Every time I have a negative thought, I'm going to turn it into a positive imagination. I was really confronted by a lady that I saw a short video from, and she just talks about like throughout the day your thoughts and how we mismove from one negative thought to a negative assumption to another negative assumption to a judgment about someone to a possible outcome about someone to someone's intentions that we don't even know, and making all these assumptions, and she's like, that's a lot of time, and that's a lot of energy. Why not make that positive, and I just kind of like felt like I kind of like ding, and you know bell, and a light went off in my head. I heard you know the vibrations of the bell and the light. I was like, oh my gosh, and we do it so naturally in the negative. Can we do it in the positive, and when we do it in the negative, how many of us are like, I told you so. I knew that wasn't going to work out. I told you that deal was too good. I knew it wasn't going to work out. Wow, a bunch of self-fulfilling negative prophecy there. What about, I knew it was going to work out. Yeah, I kind of thought that was going to go my way. Yeah, I kind of thought I'd get that bid. Yeah, let me tell you a story, and I need to find this lady's name. I've seen her a few times, and they've done interviews with her on TV, but this is an older gal, like envisioning the sweetest grandma that you can imagine, and she's known in her area, you know, kind of as being lucky, and an interview with her is like, yeah, when I go to these raffles and stuff, people say, ah, I believe her name was is Lois. I don't know for sure. I need to find out, and actually, maybe put that in the show notes when I find out what her name is, but let's just call her Lois for now. She's like, yeah, I usually win the local raffles, and I usually, you know, win drawings I'm entered into, and I've won this so many times, and I think she may even have won the lottery a few times, and she made this really interesting statement. She's like, you know, when I first started entering, these people are just like, hey, Lois, you think you're going to win? She's like, yeah, I do. I'm really lucky. I usually win these things, where she didn't necessarily, that wasn't necessarily true. She was projecting into the future. She was engaging her imagination, and you know what people started to say to her? Yeah, you probably will win, and she's like, yeah, I probably will, and she made the most profound statement that just blew me away. She's like, I don't manipulate. I don't trick. I don't do anything, but people willingly give me their energy when they say, oh, yeah, you'll probably win, and I probably won't, and she agrees with it, and she takes it, and I was just like, my head almost exploded because I've had so many conversations like that, and what is it? There is, and this is one of the secrets, okay? Gave you the imagination. This is one of the secrets. You got to avoid negative contracts, okay? When someone's like, oh, yeah, we probably won't win. We're just entering because, you know, this is the right thing to do. You're like, no, I'm pretty lucky. I think I'm going to win, and then changes, and then you want to engage in a good contract, and they're like, yeah, you're right. You probably will, and you're like, yeah, I kind of think that. Got to avoid the negative contracts. If you don't believe verbal contracts are binding, I don't call anybody an idiot, but you might be approaching that category, and those negative contracts are out there all the time. It's like, gosh, it's so hard to earn money, right? No. Boy, I just find earning money is really easy. I find that the jobs just come to me pretty easily. I find that I don't have to put much effort into having you found that advertising is just a ripoff, and it never works. Well, no, not necessarily. I've found, gosh, I just feel like I get directed to the right opportunities to advertise, and they just seem to return in massive fashion. I'm just really blessed. Things just seem to go my way all the time. As I'm talking, you know, and you can feel it in your gut, those negative contracts happen all the time, and people are trying to get you to agree with them, and those are binding unless you use your words to break them, but turn it around, right? Turn it around. Make it into a positive contract. Seal the deal. That is a spiritual technology, and if you aren't aware of it, you're either getting trapped and or you are missing incredible opportunities. Now, the third thing I'm going to tell you, and there are more spiritual technologies, because we're going to get into it, but the third one I'm going to tell you, these top three are so important. You've got, as your imagination and you're making these positive contracts with your words, you've got to put felt emotion in there. Felt emotion is the vehicle to manifesting, and manifesting means that there's more things to this that I'm probably going to put in the premium content, and you guys are like, no. It'll eventually come out in the regular content, but I know from experience that some investment in this is a positive thing, and I'm giving you the opportunity to invest in your development, but felt emotion is so necessary. It is the vehicle. It is the one that takes all the possibilities that are out there and begins to attract those positive ones and put them into your felt current reality. Adrian and I use a term is the future now, and we talk about the future now all the time to practice in helping us to really manifest the future we want and also define it at the same time. It's like, what does that future look like? But as important, what does that future feel like? What are the emotions you have around that? Who are the people that are in that? What are the things that are in that? What happens when you look, and for me, so much of this is around my family. You look at your children's future spouses and the children and the dinners that you'll have and what you'll feel during those dinners and the happiness as you play games and the laughter that happens as you play these games and you begin to make these things very tangible and real. You are pulling things from the ether down into your current reality. That's why they're spiritual technologies, and it is really difficult for our minds to get around that because we have been raised in such a tangible education system, such a felt, textural, just really this dimension, reality, feel, see, touch. I'm not going to say that we can't feel, see, and touch things in the quantum, the spiritual realm, because I believe we can, and I believe we can feel it, and I believe that's how we get to put felt emotion around it. But secret number two is there are spiritual technologies that you must, step one is, acknowledge, two, engage in, three, practice, and four, begin to see. Because even though it's small, when you start to see the small stuff come in, oh boy, that's an attaboy, that's a pat on the back, that's a wow, man, way to go, way to go, good, good, good job. So hey, you guys, just Tom Baldwin here, Tombo Baldwin, revealing the secrets of the universe to you, because I care about you, and what? Yeah, I got you, I do, I got you, until next time, my friends, we're going to exit out on the music. Are we done yet? Are we done yet?
