🎙️ Podcast Summary — Operating Script
Tombo Baldwin is back in Montana — and stepping straight into taboo territory.
In this powerful episode, Tombo explores the hidden scripts shaping your reality every single day. From news cycles to entertainment to casual conversation, he argues that we are constantly being programmed — and most of that programming leads to fear, limitation, and disconnection from meaning and purpose.
But what if you could rewrite the script?
Tombo dives deep into:
- How fear-based media shapes your reality
- Why words are "legally binding" in your life
- The connection between gratitude, imagination, and positive outcomes
- How entertainment becomes detainment
- Why your environment is programming your brain
- And how you can take control of your Operating Script
Drawing inspiration from the teachings of Jesus, quantum concepts, and real-life experience, Tombo challenges listeners to stop accepting the scripts handed to them — and start writing their own reality.
This isn’t about denial.
This is about intention.
This is about meaning and purpose.
This is about living your Best Reality Now.
Tombo hands you the file…
Now it's your move.
REAL TALK. REAL LIFE. REAL SOLUTIONS.
Yup. He got you.
What you agree with gains permission to operate in your life.
Well, well, well, well, we're back in Montana and I gotta say, I experienced something that I think probably less than one percent of people experience. That's right, I am a one percenter. In one week, I was on a beach, sweating in the breeze, looking at the wonderful ocean, and within seven days, I was in the mountains, sitting in the hot tub while it was snowing outside. Yeah, I'm back in Montana. So we're back with the recording music and here is some of my favorite intro music, even though I did love the Mexican version. We are back in Montana. Redneck is in his home territory in his home turf. Oh yeah, I like that. Oh, we're going to enter into a little bit of taboo land, but this is, I always say this, but this, this is really good stuff. This is the kind of stuff that is life-changing. A lot of this stuff I talk about is life-changing. Sometimes I get the point across better than other times and I know that that effectiveness sometimes is less and more than other times, but I have to keep it genuine and I have to keep it authentic. I can't, I'm not going to get so unscripted and I lose that authenticity and I think it's what so many of you appreciate about the podcast and maybe you're like, well, not so much and you're like, yeah, well, we're going to keep it the same until you tell me otherwise. And I'm not sure I'll change even then because don't necessarily fall to peer pressure, but things that make me more effective in getting the message out, I'm willing to listen to. As you can tell, I have had a lot of dental work done because I've told you about it, but my speech is better. It's still a little bad. I kind of still, but not too bad. I'm really getting used to this. I'm really appreciating the miracle that happened in Mexico. The best reality now for, oh, I think it ended up when I had tooth whitening and I did some extra things like just a little under $2,000 probably for 20 or more thousand dollars worth of work here in the States. A miracle, the best reality now that Tom Baldwin was living in Mexico. Today, as we journey for that, it's not even a journey, as we live in more fullness of a life of meaning and purpose and living the best reality now. And we discuss a lot that the path to that is peace. But in this world we live in, if you watch the news, you are getting a different message. You are not getting an average message of peace. You're getting a message that says, go out and buy a big generator, have it hardwired to your house, go out and buy a bunch of ammunition, get your food source, because you're gonna have to. That message, I talked to an electrician friend of mine the other day, like two days ago, and he was telling me, you would not believe how many backup generators I am installing. I'm like, for wealthy people? He's like, no, for everybody. The world is sending a message of fear, panic. It is a message you've got to, I'm gonna nail this home again and again. Your reality is what you make and you're like, Tom, can I transform out of this world of fear? Yes. You're like, dude, you're fucking crazy. Hear me out. Yes. Your words matter. You've seen it yourself where you predicted a negative outcome for yourself and it came true and you took pride in it. It's a wrong example, but it's an example how you change reality and the reality can go the other way. There's infinite possibilities and reality is fluid, but it takes a mindset and it takes a change of basic core beliefs around a lot of things and the things that we're going to talk about today that helps us exist in that place of peace, helps us grab hold of that best reality now, helps us leverage gratitude, which puts us into that place where we can engage our imagination and we can engage and our brain will predict a positive, beautiful outcome. And since reality is fluid, it's like time, time is relative. Reality is fluid and that's why there are examples of people that are incredibly lucky, like beyond probability, statistical luck. And you look at their life and you look how they live and it is a life of gratitude, of imagination, of predicting good outcomes. One of the things that has been commonplace around my house, verbiage, lingo, and maybe it's your house too when somebody looks at you and maybe you have a sideways look or a smirky look or a somber look. What's wrong? I'm switching the script. In our house, it's what's right. We're changing our brains to make a positive prediction. We're expecting not wrong, we're expecting right. What's good? What's awesome? What's beautiful? I love that. Can you imagine somebody says, what's beautiful? You're like, I am, or you are, or the sunset. What's good? Life is good. Breakfast was great. Instead of what's wrong, oh, so-and-so cut me off, and then people just suck. The world sucks. Those words are legally binding. I've spoke about this a lot. Words are legally binding. Maybe the first time the impact isn't, it's just like a little twine. You say again and again, it becomes a rope. It becomes a marine rope. It becomes an iron chain as it's reinforced and it has bondage. It has detention to it. It has prison and captivity, lack of motion, lack of freedom. Words matter so much. Are we talking about words say no, but I'm getting the point across where I'm going to get to. Originally, I was going to name this podcast Barrier Scripts. I'm thinking about changing the name. You may see this podcast under a different name, something a little more provocative, but we want to talk about the scripts that keep us in prison. One of those scripts that plays so often is the news. You watch the news. Currently, the news, we're invading Iran. Gas prices are on the rise. Inflation is still an issue in the country. The news is like, how can people survive? They're showing the highest gas prices. That is a script that is playing in your head. Now, I want you to think about this as you watch television or wherever you watch it on your phone, basically a mini television, amazing computer device, communication device, portable in your hand technology is amazing, but you watch a news program. What has that just programmed in you? Possibly fear, possibly worry, possibly paranoia, caution about living, fear. You watch willingly something that programmed you, trained your brain to make negative predictions. So, you're going to go out there in your conversation. Now, I'm not putting this on you, but this is a typical scenario. You see the news, the gas prices are incredible. And Trump, I thought he was a good guy and he's a bad guy. And where's the country going to be? And I don't know what I'm going to do. And I was thinking about buying a new car, but now I'm not thinking about, can you see already how the reality is shifting? You just received a program script. You watch it as we do most things on TV with a willingness. We sit down, we relax, we absorb, and the programming takes, it goes in ones and zeros in your brain, react fear, react, worry about prices, react, not safe, go buy upgraded door locks for the house instead of taking the kids out for ice cream or roller skating or bowling or like arcade golf or something fun is programmed into beep, beep, beep. And then if you're like me and you enjoy like listening to conspiracy theories, oh, the lizard people are in control and they're really, you know, the UFOs, the government's keeping it under wraps. And, you know, I, I do like that stuff and I've got caught up in it. I'll confess I've got caught up and there's a fair bit of evidence for that, but I've realized that's also programming. Tom, there's aliens. You can't trust the government. They're out to get you. They're hiding things. What if someday it's just, everything's going to go bad and it's kind of programming me to create a reality, not necessarily the reality that I want. Now I find those things interesting and I'm now able to listen to them for entertainment value. And I don't take it pass out because I have, and this is going to shock a little, a few of you, more faith in my belief system to create my reality than the program scripts that are out there telling me this is reality. Now I don't deny this stuff is happening and it wants my agreement. So it continues to happen. I'm not going to make that agreement anymore. I believe. And Jesus, when he was here, Yeshua, I'm a Shia. So cool. I'm going to do a podcast just on the evidence around his life, death, and resurrection. Probably the most, if you believe any history, probably the most documented, believable historical account there's ever been. It's incredible. But Jesus said, the kingdom of heaven is within you. And I equate the quantum realm to the kingdom of heaven, the universe, the Akasha field, that field of energy is within you. And as that expands out, the kingdom of heaven, the scriptural definition of it is God's reality. Wow. Whoa. I don't care who you are. That ought to cause you to pause and be like, whoa, God's reality is within me. And the scriptures also call that it'd be established here as it is in heaven. In heaven, it's everywhere. And so when it's in you, it's designed. It's a divine thing that's designed to expand. God's reality expands within you. That's why my belief is more in myself than the program scripts that are out there. So we've talked about the news, you know, TikTok and my social medias are more geared towards conspiracy theory. Although I've been listening to more things like this from other people like Neville Goddard and other people that are giving some powerful insight into how to get this place and to live this in this reality of meaning and purpose, not just abundant money, wealth, and self-indulgent, but meaning and purpose because money, wealth, and self-indulgence at best, if you have unlimited resources, you can probably go 10, maybe 10. I think 10 is the max if you just go all out and you don't do anything in meaning and purpose and it's just indulgence, you're just going to burn yourself out and you're going to end up like Solomon at the end of his life saying, what's it all mean? So as we move towards the meaning and purpose, we have to, have to, have to control the programming that comes in and tell a vision, tell a vision, you're being told a vision. What do you watch on the television pro rams programmed programs to program you a script to teach your brain how to predict outcomes and you think about the shows you watch and you think some of them aren't so bad but just really think are they really moving you towards the life of meaning and purpose maybe some a little bit but most no most are moving you away from covenant relationships which are hugely fulfilling and life-giving moving you away from genuine giving friendships moving you away from a life of meaning and purpose and a lot of um just have negative predictors i'm i like action movies i am a little ashamed to probably confess to see tell you how many people that i've seen killed on tv i know they weren't actually killed but my mind and the visual effects like doesn't differentiate hundreds of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people killed what is the programming going on in my mind towards humans human beings the created ones the ones that i want to share meaning and purpose with the ones that i want to help live that life the ones i want to help get freedom from the bondages and the dysfunctions i've watched hundreds of thousands of them killed on tv casually maybe one show 100 deaths and i just get up off my chair go to bed that's it watch in doctor shows well person has cancer oh they tried to operate on the tumor oh they died oh well they died i guess i guess that's i guess that's what happens when you get cancer you die no not every show is that way not every show is that way but in our search and our desire to find comfort tv is a comfort because at the end of the night you can sit down and it tells you a vision and it feeds your programming and i don't know what you watch you know my genre i usually well you know who i am i'm optimistic i'm looking for peace and i'm looking for a happy feel-good shows my favorite shows and i'll just tell you and it's not that i always watch but even they have programming but my favorite show is a group of people that a little bit of misfits they don't really fit in and they form a family bond there's some genuine family dynamics to develop and they really start to care for and look after each other and sacrifice and begin to encourage each other those are my absolutely favorite shows because i feel like they feed into me i realized a while ago that tv was programming me because i would go to bed and guess what i would dream about i'd wake up and i'd be like i ain't ever gonna watch that again what really creeps you out and i don't know those of you that have had this happen but adrian i will watch a show kids are in bed can't hear it can't hear anything and they wake up in the morning daddy i had a bad dream about gorillas and we watched some like horror show or like gruesome show about gorillas it's like okay the quantum realm that realm that we're entangled in there's connection points and stuff what we do as leaders and as point people in our families mothers and fathers when we connect the negative things we have quantum entanglements with our kids that connect them and so if there's anything that may be other than your incredible passionate desire for meaning and purpose that would cause you to maybe start to change what you select on tv and i have to tell you it's challenging to find things that really build that script that will cause your brain to be trained for good it's like i realized the other day and many of you know that i'm a believer in jesus and so you know i do read the holy scriptures and i'm always assessing my faith and and reviving and coming to new understandings but never once does jesus or the bible talk about thinking about negative things we're never once told to think about negative things or to predict negative outcome oh yeah bad stuff usually happens so i imagine this is going to turn out bad too it's quite the opposite think on things that are just pure right holy beautiful do not worry do not be anxious we're not supposed to worry we're not supposed to be anxious and this is from yeshua ha mashiah who documented lived a life died and documented rose from the dead and made an incredible impact and i'm not asking you to examine christianity because i think christianity has a lot of faults and i've had a hard season of reconciling christianity and jesus and decided i don't have to criticize christianity i just have to decide it's not for me and it's not but jesus is and jesus can be for you and you can talk to him and you can ask him even now and say hey i like this stuff tom's talking about meaning and purpose i really want that in my life and just start talking he'll answer listen cry yourself find that peaceful place uh shut off the programming how do you reprogram well for one you have to stop the negative coming in if you're addicted to news and you're addicted to shows that are not edifying peace and gratitude in your life then i would just say the first place is just to stop those because getting to a place of your default mode is good that when something happens you're like oh it's going to turn out this best possible way instead of your brain going to the negative that takes some work that takes reading different scripts it takes rehearsing different scripts in your mind you are in a reality prison right now because you are allowing yourself to be programmed you're being yourself allowed to be told a vision somebody else's vision you're being programmed you're being entertained that really means you're being detained you're being distracted you have a place of meaning and purpose you who you are and what you have to give has a place and when you're distracted when you're detained when your programming is counter to what you were designed for how can you operate there's a conflict in your operating system and so what are the scripts you can add well there are a lot of apps out there and there gratitude apps there's also scriptures out there there are scriptures that you can read and you can get even a little pocket book the promises of god or the the good things of god that you can read you can read good literature you can listen to good uplifting music fine music that is inspiring and encouraging for me the easiest way is i go on pandora and there's a couple artists i like that sing about faith but they sing about it in a way that really resonates with me and it's it's not churchy hymnal music it's passionate relational music about i the kingdom of heaven and the things that are supposed to happen in the kingdom of heaven the miracles the life of meaning and purpose and so it reprograms my brain i go to audible and i listen to fiction books that are about heroes that win that overcome all obstacles and challenges and they work and they're dysfunctional but they find others to make family with and overcome that there are a lot of ways to begin building a different script but i gotta tell you if you don't make it a priority it's not gonna happen you will continue to be programmed and in your family your family may possibly probably has built some internal programming in the family how conversations go and how maybe your family there's a lot of complaining that happens and so the programming is towards the negative and you talk about the bad drivers or you talk about the poor service in the place you live that you can't get service you run to the restaurant you had awful service and you go on and on and on and it feels good and you're making conversation but you don't realize it is costing you your best reality now you paid a price you're paying a price as you continue to take in those scripts and speak those scripts you go out and speak them and you're like man nobody's gonna be able to afford gas in a month i am yeah you're right nobody but me you take the negative i'll take the positive if you're so determined to take the negative i'm equally determined to take the positive if you want to suffer i'm sorry it hurts me i put it out there i've told you if you're determined to take the negative i'll take the positive i have money for the gas prices i have more than enough and it's gonna be really nice when there's fewer people on the road because they can't afford gas i can time you're like you're such a jerk no i want you all to be where i'm at but you may have to suffer a while before you really begin to believe because you listen to this you're like that's good yeah i like that you walk away you'll forget i'm going to tell you you're not going to forget because i'm going to speak words into you and words have legally binding you're not going to forget you're going to remember it's going to stick in your gut like something like i just stabbed you with a knife i remember when tom said that i want it i want to be in i want you into there's a lot on the line and if you didn't believe it why are the scripts so profound and so prevalent they are literally everywhere in everything everywhere you go everything you turn on this grip is running to cause your brain to live in this current reality and it is not reality you're designed to live in and that denotes some predestination but i was talking to my son justice the other day and and we were talking about god and how he knows all and you know and it's god's will and i said justice think about this god knows everything and it's evident from the scripture that his will is for people to have wholeness and healing to live whole and healed and lives and meaning and purpose and i said god knows in every moment every possible outcome but we have the freedom to choose which one we want to live in he knows every possible thing which reality are you going to live in you're going to stay negative you're going to say other people are lucky you're right tom baldwin is the luckiest guy ever best podcaster i ever heard and he just he gets a ride all the time that's right it's not right and i'm grateful i don't get it right all the time but i am blessed and i am good and i am embracing this god-given gift that has been put in me that i'm no longer gonna let program away my brain predicts good my brain seeks good outcome my brain speaks incredible scripts of meaning and purpose and life-changing results you know those guys that have big visions and they they change things and they that vision becomes so real and they feel it so passionately we've talked how feelings you have to engage your feelings in your imagination and they make a huge coincidence they change reality they didn't listen to a vision they wrote a script and they made a vision and they spoke it out and their vision became reality you can be told a bedtime story or you can write a life-changing story what are you going to do and then sit on your ass and complain and be a victim well that'll be a reality no i'm not saying you know becoming aware of these scripts is probably the biggest thing and if you're listening to this you're waking up and maybe you're more awake than others and thank god help those that are waking up but if you're listening to this well it's not true if you're listening to this you're awake and you're waking up and i'm so glad help others wake up begin envisioning your friends and those around you waking up don't think they're just going to stay stuck write a different script for your friends what kind of friend are you write a different script for them use your imagination create a vision tell a new vision of your friends of your family your children your uncle your mother your father don't just be satisfied in the pitiful lame existence and maybe they have a decent existence but it ain't what it could be can you help create a vision now focus on yourself you have to get to that place where you're creating these scripts and you're writing great scripts you're just becoming this prolific script writer and you're not you're no longer being programmed you are programming yourself with these positive scripts and your freedom is on the line i don't know how to say this i i'm so grateful and i go back um to yeshua hamashiya because when he came and when you read what he wrote it's been co-opted and it's been changed by the modern i won't even say church politicians the people in power to hide the truth but the truth is and if you're listening to this podcast you're finding out what the truth is and i'm not the first one to find this by far but the kingdom of heaven the quantum realm jesus talked about it jesus taught it and it's what he wanted when he left what was his expectations he said you will do greater things to me are we seeing that in the church no but we're seeing in other places people are changing reality why does the scriptures tell us what to think on everything is positive that's a coincidence why does it tell us not to be anxious and worried and why is there never anything about thinking about negative things that's strange that's a coincidence nope it sure ain't do you get what i'm laying down here the scripts the visions that are being told the programming that is going on as you're in prison i in this podcast and i'm not being arrogant i just handed you a file in a cake in your cell and you get the enjoyment of listening to this and now you have a tool to begin working your way out and not only do you work your way out but you build this beautiful structure of meaning and purpose and when you change your reality you change others and as you can change your reality you can change others so let's do it get off your ass right and let's do it hey my friends i so appreciate being back i can't tell you i loved loved loved my time in mexico such a great community down there so much fun lots of hard work did i work hard oh my gosh i worked hard but there are now two more couple suites ready for people that come down and serve the community and people that are administered to now have a wonderful place to rest and serve and i was able to be a part of that i'm so thankful my best reality now and i also had dental work and i was part of a fantastic amazing community and i'm so grateful and it's time for you to start living your best life now take that file and use it i got you i do and i love love love you thanks for listening hey as always pass this on to somebody all right the exit music boom
