The Spiritual Grind
Are You Disrupting Your Own Divine Timeline?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when our human impatience collides with divine timing? This episode dives deep into how we often sabotage our manifestations by interfering with the perfect timelines our higher selves have created.
Through the story of their motorhome purchase—a mysteriously pristine 8-year-old vehicle with just 10,000 miles—the hosts illustrate how manifestation works effortlessly when we're in alignment. The purchase itself flowed with remarkable ease, yet attempts to force a premature camping trip were met with fascinating resistance at every turn.
The conversation explores a profound spiritual truth: the moment we identify something we want, it's already created and waiting for us in the multiverse. Our job isn't to struggle with creation but to align our vibrational frequency with what we've already created. When we try to micromanage the process through human impatience or rigid expectations, we throw ourselves out of alignment.
Your emotional guidance system provides the clearest indicator of this misalignment. That pivotal moment when excitement transforms into frustration signals you've shifted frequency and are now working against your own manifestation. The solution? Pause, find neutrality, and remember that resistance often contains protection and wisdom.
This episode offers practical wisdom about recognizing when you're inadvertently blocking your own path. Whether you're manifesting a relationship, career opportunity, or material possession, learning to distinguish between human interference and divine guidance could be the missing piece in your manifestation practice. Listen for a refreshing perspective that balances spiritual principles with humor and practical application.

Welcome to The Spiritual Grind
Speaker 1Thank you. Welcome back to the podcast, everybody. It's the Spiritual Grind and we are alive and kicking. Good morning, Dr Jenny.
Speaker 2Good morning. I have a problem. What's that? I don't know. If we turned the video.
Speaker 1Good morning. I have a problem. What's that? I don't know. If we turned the thing I did, I turned it off.
Speaker 2Oh, you're so smart.
Speaker 1I know I did it on the way by. I did the drive-by turn off You're amazing. Yes, I am. I also fixed the hood of my motorcoach today.
Speaker 2Wow, you're martyr and martyr.
Speaker 1I am. I named my mom. You so martyr. How was your morning going?
Timelines and Self-Interference
Speaker 2Wonderful. Oh you know what I want to talk about today.
Speaker 1Do tell Timelines, timelines. Yeah, you know how we, as humans, we like to create our own timeline and either rush things or slow things down or throw monkey wrenches into our own self-created higher self plans.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 1And how we have a tendency to, through our belief systems, create little hiccups in our timelines or we try to speed things up, we get in a hurry and sometimes it just ain't time. Sometimes it's past time. We just have to be able to accept and go with the flow indeed what do you think unless you?
Speaker 2go down the rabbit hole where time doesn't really exist I agree and there you have it you.
Speaker 1You always want to take us down to rabbit holes. You sure like them, rabbit holes.
Speaker 2I do indeed.
The Motorhome Manifestation Story
Speaker 1Well, what I'm talking about specifically I guess for me is it kind of came up with me in the shower this morning was my ability to really interfere with something I've created after the fact. Like, for example, I want to talk about the motor coach. We created this motor coach. It was very easy and graceful to go buy it. I mean it was probably one of the simplest purchases we've ever had and it was a very expensive purchase. Yeah, I mean it was probably one of the simplest purchases we've ever had and it was a very expensive purchase.
Speaker 2Yeah, I mean even down to.
Speaker 1No down payment.
Speaker 2Looking well even before that going to the place.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2In other words, we didn't go to several places.
Speaker 1Yeah, we went straight to the place.
Speaker 2Yeah, we looked at I don't know what several places. Yeah, we went straight to the place yeah, we looked at I don't know what three, four this was number four.
Speaker 1That was number five yeah.
Speaker 2We looked at five.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2And when we walked on that one, we both walked in and said, oh yep, this one's the one. Do the paperwork.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was like crazy. Oh yep, this one's the one. Do the paperwork.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was like crazy it had all the must-haves.
Speaker 1I had checked and everything I wanted. It was not diesel. I didn't want a diesel. Yeah, I didn't want a diesel generator either.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's like it was just sitting there here I am.
Speaker 1Here, pick me. Wait, I'm here, guys, right here, and it's really beautiful, I mean how spiritually guided was it? This motorhome is eight years old and never used. I mean, it was never used.
Speaker 2It is.
Speaker 1Even the tanks look brand new. Everything looks new.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's quite incredible what we were able to manifest and create.
Speaker 1Yeah, it was quite nice. It's only got 10,000 miles on it. Yeah, the generator had less than 100 hours on it. Um, the inverter has uh, I just seen it a while ago. It has 119 hours on it and we probably put no, it's new.
Speaker 2Remember, they put a new inverter because it right oh, that's right.
Speaker 1The the inverter that was in it only had 84 hours on it yeah and they just went. We're up to 119 on this new one. We've had it for three weeks, if that tells you how much they actually used it.
Speaker 2Right, it is quite interesting and very curious, I would say yeah, I find myself wondering, gee, what happened. What happened in their bubble.
Speaker 1The bottom of the leveling system looks like it's never been used. I was looking at it earlier. I was like this thing looks like it's never been on the ground. Yeah, and the white leather couches that are original, not a mark on them.
Speaker 2Are still just pristine. Yeah, it's amazing, the captain's chairs everything.
Speaker 1Yeah, and everything other than stuff that would go out normally, you know is on it working properly, yeah, than stuff that would go out normally, you know is on it working properly, yeah, um, but anyway, so me interfering with the timeline of it, is it happened? It's just happened last week and you know, I, I would like told the people we were, yeah, we're gonna go camping this weekend for totally forgetting about the relay on the air conditioning unit yeah totally not.
Forcing Timelines vs. Divine Guidance
Speaker 1We're not even prepared to do that yet. With that, you know I am not got everything set up in it. We had some known winnebago hood issues that I had to fix, you know we and it's just it. I was trying to force a timeline yeah, and so just going with the flow, like when it's ready we'll just jump in and go.
Speaker 2Right, and I want to bring to attention what that looks like, because I think it's a nice example of how that by higher self and the nature of our mechanism, will be created and how it could be viewed as negativity versus divine guidance. For example, we're going to go to Daytona so we could kind of take it out for a spin and eat at our favorite restaurant.
Speaker 1Ocean Crabby's Ocean Shot, by the way. Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker 2It's a good place to eat. They have such good food. That was, you know, block. Block is a heavy word.
Speaker 1My surf instructor lives there and he, I called him and I said, hey, um, I know he has him. He has a large fifth wheel that he lives in there, right, right, and I was like, hey, where's the? You know a campus spot on the peninsula and he stays at the Daytona campground, which is at the very northern part of the peninsula, in Daytona Beach, right, and he said that he packed up and left and purchased his. He took his fifth wheel out of town and put it at a storage unit for the week because it's Daytona Bike Week.
Speaker 2Right.
Speaker 1And so we had this plan to go to Daytona with our motorhome, that I really kind of forced the issue because I wanted to take it out, and then everything I tried to do to go somewhere was totally blocked.
Speaker 2Yeah, because then we decided, okay, well, we'll take it to a little what national state park or whatever close by? Yeah. Lithia Springs when the springs are and it was like there's no spaces there.
Speaker 1Yeah, well, first of all, they only accept motorhomes between the hours of 8 am and 11 am.
Speaker 2Right, there is no reservations. And it's first come, first serve.
Speaker 1And it's first come, first serve and they have 16 spots.
Speaker 2Right.
Speaker 1That have full hookups. And so I was like so you expect somebody with a 40-foot motorhome to come down there and wait in line in an area just to take a chance that you might get a spot? I asked the guy I was like you ever drove one of these places and things. I mean it's 40 foot long, bro, come on. And the road going to Lithia Springs is a two lane, no divided, I mean no shoulder. And so I was like y'all must be crazy, what is wrong with y'all? And he was like I'm, until it changes in May, because apparently the governor signed some kind of bill.
Speaker 2Yeah, so you know, humanly you could be like pissed off and highly aggravated.
Speaker 1Oh, and then I called another place. Of course you did I called another place and they were like, yeah, we do nightly rentals, not this time of year, because it's season started on March 1st. And so now this time of year, because it's season started on March 1st, and so now this time of year, everything goes by the month. I was like it was like one of those things in your mind.
Speaker 1You go wah, wah, wah, wah, I'm just like wow, I am, and that's what I came to. The realization this morning in the shower was well, I was just forcing that and this morning in the shower was well, I was just forcing that.
Speaker 2Well, yeah, and that's you and your higher self working together behind the scenes to make sure and not put you in a situation that would maybe not be quite so pleasant, because then what happened from my perspective is the Winnebago hood yeah, detached.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's a known flaw flaw in the winnebago system back then.
Speaker 2They've changed this right back back when this sweet little fella was created, created, and 2016 it's. It's a known flaw, yeah, and the uh. The repair of it's quite easy, and that's what we were talking about. My intelligent husband came up with the repair, but it came loose, and so we would have had loose hood issues trying to get home out on the road, had we continued to force the issue and said, by golly, we're going somewhere?
Speaker 2yeah, by golly I'm taking it somewhere and instead, we, in our awakened state, we know that when we try, you know, two or three times to make something happen, it's we come to the place of okay, this is just not the way we roll, it's not ease, it's not grace and for some reason this is just not supposed to be happening. And so, embracing the fact that it's just not time, yeah, no, that's.
Speaker 1That's what came to me in the shower was. I was like, well, why was this such a difficult weekend to go camping? And then this ominous voice came from within, like because you're trying to make it happen.
Speaker 2I don't think it quite. Did it sound like that?
Aligning with Your Higher Frequency Reality
Speaker 1No, I just was making that up for dramatic effect. Okay, it was like it's. Because you just was making that up for dramatic effect. Okay, it was like it's because you're trying to force the issue dummy and the motorhome's not ready for you to take it yet. Did you ask the motorhome? Did you walk up to the motorhome and say hey, mr Motorhome, did you want to go?
Speaker 2Right yeah.
Speaker 1And it was kind of like that, I don't know that thought, and and it was kind of like that, I don't know that thought.
Speaker 2And then I got thinking about how many other times do we do that on the daily? Well, yeah, yeah, I mean, there's a minor trip up factor in that thought process that you have to be careful about, because if you have a belief that things have to be so-so and set in a certain way and specific and perfectly correct before you can go, then it will trip you up and you'll never allow yourself to go. So there's a fine line there.
Speaker 1Oh no, I and you have to be careful. I told you I'm on the same page with that.
Speaker 2Well, I mean, as we're speaking to the collective, I just wanted to clarify that, that you know, if you've got a belief that everything's got to be perfectly perfect in every way before I can go, then that will sometimes keep you stuck and it's a very different vibrational frequency. So you'll have to check in with it, Because that can sometimes be that little monkey mind lie of keeping you stuck in place and not necessarily allowing you to act on something too, so just be careful and check in with it.
Speaker 1Totally agree. You know, what got me wondering was you know how many of the times that we do this in our life and it can be the little minor things, it can be big things and you kind of throw a little monkey wrench in your journey, that you have to step over the wrench or you'll stub your toe on it and Like because I had many examples that popped into my head where I interfere with things- yeah, you know humanly and do tell oh, it's a bunch, but I mean it was.
Speaker 1But I guess it was more about the fact of is why am I doing that? Why do, why do we as humans? Because I know a lot of people that do it yeah they create this journey. The journey is going the way you want it, but then we get this like human ego of it's got to be this way instead of letting it go the way it's supposed to.
Speaker 1And then we start trying to push it into this way and then you end up train wrecking the whole dang journey. Or sometimes you'll go on the journey and it didn't work out the way you want it to. I'm not saying train wreck, that's a little dramatic, but you can. You can train wreck the journey. But you know, generally speaking, it just kind of little puts you off the road a little bit. You know, like you swerve and you hit the dirt and you hear the little on the side of the road and it kind of just slows you down a little bit.
Speaker 1Yeah, and in all, reality is, if you're creating your reality based on your beliefs, like we do, we do create our own reality. We, you know every, every aspect of our life. We have created it. When we, when we interject in ourselves instead of going with the flow, with our human selves, you end up well, first of all, sometimes you'll bump up against beliefs. You'll bump up against other beliefs. You'll have you'll you'll have places you can't even get into when you're trying to humanly force something and our ego gets in the way of it and we want the journey to look a specific way. When we are, all we're supposed to do is create it, because we're not going to be able to create something that's outside our beliefs, correct?
Speaker 2Well, there is an opportunity for clarification.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2It's a little bit of rabbit hole-ish.
Speaker 1Oh God, here we go again.
Speaker 2So manifesting and creation are defined a little bit differently these days. Yep, you can always manifest and create the reality that you're wanting. As soon as you identify what you want, it's created and it's hanging out there in the multiverse waiting for you to align with it vibrationally. So it's not that you're struggling to create it or manifest it. It's that your vibrational frequency needs to match it so that you can change reality, because realities are all parallel and you're just kind of hop, skipping up each second. Kind of like Frogger.
Speaker 1Remember the old game Frogger.
Speaker 2Yeah, so that's kind of how that construct works, just for clarification. Yep, and so you're popping over to this reality as soon as your frequency matches it. Okay, so it's not that you're struggling to create this reality as soon as your frequency matches it, okay. So it's not that you're having, you're struggling to create it or to manifest it.
Distorted Perception and Higher Self
Speaker 2It's that your frequency hasn't quite, uh, matched the frequency of that which you want yeah, understood and, like you said, it could be because you have an expectation or insistence that it has to look a certain way and in your higher self creating it, it was created in a way that you can't really conceptualize with your human thinking mind. Yeah, human thinking mind, yeah. And so if you have an insistence that it must look this particular way, but higher self knows that it would be a much more profound experience and what you really wanted was for it to look a little bit different, the frequency will be off just a little bit and it will feel like you're struggling to manifest it or to line up with it, because you have a belief that it has to look a certain way. So the technique would be to you know, daydream about it, create what you want, but then let go of the finite details of how it must look in order for it to be enjoyable, because you don't truly know that, because you can't really conceptualize the magnitude of what it can be.
Speaker 1Yes. Throw it out there, let it go, and then just Plant the seed, put it in the dirt and give it a little water. Right, Let it do its thing.
Speaker 2And then. So then the question comes up. I hear the question.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Well, how do you? What do you do then to align with it?
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2So what do you do?
Speaker 1That you're the doctor. Do I have to do everything around? Here sometimes sometimes they're giving you the question, not me, so you gotta answer it. I do multiple things to try to align. Well, I do to align with my, with my reality. One of those things that I do is I spend some time in my own self, like this morning working on the coach, when I'm using my hands or I'm doing something that's active, I use that time for very much a meditative state for me.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And it lets me get checked in and aligned with the energy of where I want to go.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And some people sit around and cross their legs and hold out their fingers and thumbs and sing home.
Speaker 2I was trying to decide where you're going with that. You're going to that traditional meditative state, meditative state. I thought maybe you were talking about holding out a sign like a homeless person or something.
Speaker 1Yeah, some people actually meditate in front of the TV and don't even realize it. They zone out, you know, they do all sorts of things.
Speaker 2I mean, yeah, you know what? Meditation is not the traditional sit cross-legged anymore. I mean there's people that go do dishes.
Speaker 1Yeah, meditation is when you change your cognitive status. That is a meditation. So when you go to a different level of consciousness, you are meditating Exactly and you can be doing anything.
Speaker 2Driving, doing dishes, reading a book, watching a TV show, sitting peacefully and quietly doing a crossword. It doesn't have to be in that traditional cross-legged hands on either knee with your fingers folded perfectly monk-style meditation.
Speaker 1I agree.
Speaker 2And if that doesn't work for you, then find something that does.
Speaker 1Yeah, find something that puts you in that altered conscious state.
Speaker 2I don't mean alcohol and drugs. You then find something that does, yeah, find something that puts you in that altered conscious state.
Speaker 1So the and I don't mean alcohol and drugs.
Speaker 2I don't mean chemical.
Speaker 1I mean, don't get me wrong. If you want to have the chemicals, go ahead and play around, it's up to you, it's your journey.
Speaker 2Yeah, the key to it is finding that vibrational frequency that we call joy and excitement, and anything that you can do throughout the day that helps bring you back to that joy, that excitement, that peace, neutrality, any of those higher frequency places. Then it allows you to raise your frequency, which then will in turn allow you to align with those higher frequency realities waiting for you to experience them.
Speaker 1To clarify about something yeah is just a minute ago, I was telling one of our employees because he came out to talk to me and he was telling me about, you know, he got this car stereo installed in his car and all this other stuff and he took it to him and he's, he was saying, yeah, well, he was complaining that they didn't fix the problem. And I said, okay, well, tell me what you did. And he said I took it in there and I said I think it may be this, I think it may be that, I think it should be this. You're interfering with the journey. That's what we do. It's a good example of what we do humanly. Yeah, you take it to them and suggestions, because then they're going to know what you're thinking and when it's their job to fix the problem, well, you got to trust in the higher self the same way.
Speaker 1Yeah, I mean if you know so much about what the problem was, then why are you paying somebody to fix it? You know it's.
Speaker 2Don't take it to somebody and then tell them how to do their job.
Speaker 1And I told him. I said, hey, take it back up there, tell them to fix it and walk away in a line with you know, walk away saying to yourself when I pick my car up, it's going to be perfect.
Speaker 2Right.
Finding Neutrality in Challenging Moments
Speaker 1Exactly With that same energy, and so it was kind of a great example of what just happened, and that's what I just. I mean, that was just 30 minutes ago.
Speaker 2Yeah, because when you're doing that, you're creating a type of resistance yes, of not allowing the flow.
Speaker 1Going with the flow.
Speaker 1Right, because you think that you know better yeah, because we are smart and our ego that's what I was just talking about our egos jump out there and bite us in the butt right, and because we think we know something, we you know just because we watch the youtube video or something on it, we think we really know something and the the reality of that is is you're not going to learn it that way. It's not going to happen that way until you align with the learning part of whatever it is that you're trying to learn on YouTube. But it's the same thing with your journey and when you interject yourself humanly into it, the result of it may end up the same somewhere down the road, like the example I just used, but in the meantime, because of his human interjection, end up the same somewhere down the road, you know, like like the example I just used now he's going to have, but in in the meantime because of his humor, inner human interjection he's extended.
Speaker 1He's extended the time frame, the timeline right exactly and so when we hit, when we get focused on the, the journey, and we put it out there and create that reality, we have to. We have to let you and the higher self handle it and allow ourselves to focus on that reality. Like you know, you were when we signed us up for this cruise that we're going on in march. At the end of march, you were like, okay, what cruise do you want to go on? I said I don't care. I don't care because I'm just going to allow the journey to happen the way it's happened. And you found a heck of a deal on a cruise for us and we're going on a cruise March 31st at a very cheap rate in a very nice what do they call that Extended balcony.
Speaker 2Yeah, I was able to find a bunch of discounts.
Speaker 1Yeah, I like discounts.
Speaker 2Yeah, that allowed me to upgrade our um what do you call it? Cabin to a balcony? Yeah, for free extended balcony, uh thing and excursions yep, I like it I got to add a bunch of excursion experiences like it for some of free, some of them discounted half price.
Speaker 1Some of them not free.
Speaker 2So we have a jam-packed week-long experience of.
Speaker 1I am so looking forward to going to the Minecraft.
Speaker 2We may come back exhausted because I've crammed so much into our week. We need a vacation for a vacation.
Speaker 1So, honey, what are we doing? First day of the cruise Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba? What are we doing the second day of the cruise, ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba? Is there any time in there for a nap? No, no, you did say we have our last day or something on the ship, with nothing planned.
Speaker 2Yeah, nothing bland. Yeah we. I mean we have a couple of days because we have to travel out to see the first day and then we have to travel home. So that last day because we go out, circle around the different places in mexico and then we come back in so we have downtime the first day and downtime the second day if we wanted it, but there's lots of things to do on the ship.
Speaker 1Yeah, it's going to be fun you know like food to experience. Margaritaville at sea. It's the flip-flop bar.
Speaker 2Yeah, I think they have a casino as well.
Speaker 1I believe so. Spa, they have a DJ every night on the dance floor. Yeah, they have, but anyway, and so that's just a prime example. We as humans have a tendency and I'm going to go through this because timelines are in my mind today is we have no patience. The reason why we have a healthcare industry you know, 80% of that healthcare industry is because we have no patients to heal, and so we want to be hurried up, we want to get done, because the reality is antibiotics are just boosters for our own immune system.
Speaker 2Right, just permission slips. They all just permission slips. You're constantly changing, on even a cellular level, every millisecond, and they're just permission slips to heal and get better.
Getting Back on Track with Emotional Guidance
Speaker 1Because of beliefs, right, and everything in life. We do that Because of our lack of patience and our ego. We will interject and do so much things in our life and and either humanly interfere, disrupt things or just the opposite of that and sometimes we can. Our ego gets in the way so much that things just will fall apart because now you've altered your belief system behind what you've created and you're going to bump up against things, altered your belief system behind what you've created and you're going to bump up against things, and it is a it's, it's. I'm trying to figure out what point I'm trying to get to in this today, because it came up to me in the shower and when, when I'm trying to figure out the words that I'm supposed to say today or you're supposed to say so, I'm going to sit up.
Speaker 2Now let you talk, go ahead well, I think, first, to remember the ego is a very important construct of the experience, the human experience. You got to have the ego yeah in order to have I don't have some of our experiences humanly, which is what we come here to have. We come to have experiences and learn how to navigate through them, and it's set up that way on purpose for growth and development.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2So the ego is a necessity. So the ego is a necessity. But getting to the higher levels of the game is learning how to transcend ego somewhat.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Depending on the level by which you decided you were going to come and play the game.
Speaker 1Well, you know, I know that we all, in some form or fashion, throughout our lives, we have a tendency to have a distorted perception of what we do and how we are living and how people view us. We can get really distorted quickly and when we have a created reality that we give to higher self, higher self does not have a distorted reality.
Speaker 2This is true. So higher self's job is to have the clearest vision of what actually can be experienced and what you want to experience Right.
Speaker 1Your higher self, your God, your, whatever you look at it is, whatever you want to call it is they don't have a distorted reality. And when we, as humans, have a perception of ourself that is different than what is really there because most humans have it in some form or fashion they have a perception of how they are, who they are, what they are perceived as and what they're trying to put out, and it's much different than what people actually view you as and or what the universe feels you are or the energy that you're putting out. Because we can sometimes distort our reality. You know, like the, when we have emotions and emotional guidance system that's not filled, then we're going to have a distorted reality.
Speaker 1When we have, when we have a tendency to be paranoid and take ownership of things that ain't ours, that's a distorted reality. There's many facets of it. When you see everything in black and white or catastrophic, then that's a distorted reality. And when you try to humanly interject yourself into a reality that you're creating, that higher self is set up and got going for you because it's based on your beliefs, your patterns, your programs, your wants, your needs. You know, who never knows what it is when we have a distorted reality and we interject ourselves into that reality through that distorted perspective, then we are interfering with that journey and we will see that it's not going the way we want it to go because we have a distorted vision when you, when higher self is perfectly creating it, and so we have a distorted version of what we see that our self is creating.
Speaker 2I dropped the mic, damn, he's smart well, yeah, of course somebody needed to hear that but it's not necessarily a negative thing no, no, I'm not saying it's negative.
Speaker 1I'm not saying any of this is negative.
Speaker 2We're talking about it's the goal is to come and have experiences, and so sometimes the distortion is required within the mechanism so that you can have the experience from that perspective.
Speaker 1Yes.
Speaker 2And when you're done, so to speak, of having that experience by experience in the contrast, and saying, okay, I been there, done that, got the t-shirt ready, to experience something else, then you'll change the distortion to a new distortion. Yeah, you know, I was watching a doctor, or you'll eliminate the distortion altogether and find a place of allowance and acceptance and neutrality. And then what comes rushing in is the amazing aspect of that reality, and you find yourself.
Speaker 1When it goes so smoothly, it's crazy good.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's just almost unbelievable.
Speaker 1Like we walk into a motorhome facility and we walk out with paperwork on a new motorhome without even thought.
Speaker 2Right, and it's just so.
Speaker 1We're just sitting at the desk and we're eating our lunch. We're just like nonchalantly sitting there waiting and trying to get everything done.
Speaker 2Exactly, and it's so perfectly fitting to what we were looking for. Perfectly fitting to what we were looking for. And so I find myself thinking, golly, I wonder what the what, the what, the human's story was that owned? It before yeah how can it be this old and be this immaculate?
Speaker 1and then I find out this morning what we thought was maybe a little bit of wear and tear was actually a recall yes, exactly because it has some places where the wallpaper is separating from its backing and and I called winnebago this morning and they said that was a recall that was done in january 2017 yeah and they never brought it in for the recall and it's expired now.
Speaker 1But um, it was. Uh, it's just nuts like they didn't use it. It's like a brand new motorhome that we got for a third of the price right, it's like's like it was created.
Speaker 2It's been sitting there waiting for us to align with the reality and poof, bada, bing, bada bing.
Speaker 1Well, you know, here's a good example of that same scenario is we sit out there on our patio and found motorhomes we wanted to go look at, and then we go look at them in person and none of them are the right one. And then we're literally driving back to the front of the of the uh dealership with the guy on the golf cart and jenny point sees one. She says hey, I want to see that one right, just randomly out of the blue and he said are you sure I was?
Speaker 2he said I don't remember what he said something nonchalant he was like we just got it or okay we, yeah, we can stop and look at this one he was very and he said, okay, y'all wait here, I'll get the keys.
Closing Thoughts and Humor
Speaker 1And he came back and we literally we both walked up the stairs into the motor coach. I looked one way, jenny looked the others, we looked at each other and said, yeah, this, is it just like that.
Speaker 2I don't even think we said that out loud.
Speaker 1I think it was more like a telepathic kind of conversation that we had amongst ourselves because I don't remember saying it out loud, I just remember feeling it and thinking, oh yeah, this is the one yeah, I think it was funny because he came in with his paper on it and he sets up on the chair and and you and I both said you don't have to read that. And then you said, yeah, go ahead and write to the paperwork on it. And he and he kept going and we're like you don't have to do that. It was like you don't have to do that.
Speaker 1It was like you don't have to do that, we've chosen it. This is the one we want, right? It was kind of funny.
Speaker 2Yeah, but it was such a smooth, easy journey. It was, it was perfect.
Speaker 1Until we bumped up against some beliefs about their service side of their dealership, at least for me.
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm not having that same experience, at least for me.
Speaker 1Yeah, I'm not having that same experience. Yeah, no, I mean, don't get me wrong. It's going well, there's nothing wrong with the motorhome, but it just gives me things to tinker with, little things.
Speaker 2Well, you are a tinkerer.
Speaker 1Oh, tinker, tinker, tinker.
Speaker 2Not to get confused with tinkler.
Speaker 1Oh, I do that too, yes indeed, you do.
Speaker 2I feel, like you, could be a part of the carnival man with the smallest bladder.
Speaker 1Are you my? Are you my?
Speaker 2I don't know what just happened, but I don't know how these road trips are going to look, having to stop every two seconds.
Speaker 1No, I'm just going to let you drive To tinkle-er. I'm going to sit on the couch and watch TV while you drive.
Speaker 2Tinkle-er. Sprinkle-er.
Speaker 1Hey, you know I discovered that our toilet in our en suite is a macerating toilet.
Speaker 2You would know all there is to know about the toilet. You visit it often.
Speaker 1I only used it once yesterday.
Speaker 2Really.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2I don't even know what that means Macerator.
Speaker 1It means that if you put any poop in it, it destroys it before it flushes it.
Speaker 2Oh my gosh, yeah, we.
Speaker 1We're way off track here.
Speaker 2We are a little off track.
Speaker 1Well, you know, actually we could tie it back together because the toilet interferes with the journey of the turd, because it macerates it, which is what we humanly do in our journey sometimes.
Speaker 2Wow, can I have a want? That was my dad joke of the day I don't even know what to say to that. Listen, guys, this is what I have to go through sometimes yep and you love it, the journey of the turd, the turdd journey. Yeah, there you go. I want to see what the AI says about that, about those comments, the journey of the turd.
Speaker 1The turd journeys Anyway so.
Speaker 2So yeah, I guess, if you're having a turd of a thought, yeah. And you want to transcend it, send it through the macerator so that it can shred it up into. Just liquefy it and dissolve it away.
Speaker 1I'll bet you two-thirds of the people out there interfere with her.
Speaker 2No, ma'am, no, he did not. Yeah, two-thirds of the people out there.
Speaker 1Oh my gosh, it's getting deep in here, man, this podcast is slowed down to a turd dole's pace.
Speaker 2No, Please help someone. Send help.
Speaker 1Oh man, this is perturbing.
Speaker 2It's getting deep, very perturbed, it's getting deep in here. Y'all help but anyway.
Speaker 1So let's talk about how we had. When we identify that we're humanly interacting with our journey and affecting it, what do we do about it?
Speaker 2Well, so I think, backing up for just a second because if I go back to a time when I firsthand was experiencing some things that were a little more bumpy than current, I can remember my less awakened state of being perceiving a situation as oh my gosh, why do crappy things always happen to me? I'm so tired of it. And so coming to a place of saying these things are not happening to me, they truly are happening for my growth, and so how can I look at them differently? And so, instead of looking at them negative and holding a negative vibration about the crappy situation you're in, coming to a place of that balance ability, that neutral place, so that you can align with the reasons why the experience may be playing out the way that it is. Because if you can get to that frequency, then you'll get this epiphanal understanding of oh, I see, that had to happen, so that could happen for this, which I am very grateful for and you know, for example, wanting something and not getting it at that very moment, and then hindsight, as we like to call it, years down the road, you're like man, you know what. I'm so glad that didn't happen, because it would have brought about blah, blah, blah, and so you don't have to wait years for that information is what I'm saying, or the circumstance, kind of remove yourself, set aside and view it from kind of an outside perspective, instead of being in the middle of the mess and viewing it from that perspective. You could get that information right in the here and now and make sense of it, which is kind of which is what we do now at this point.
Speaker 2Um, and so I would say practice, become aware. Awareness is the key. First of all, I'm aware that the current situation I'm in I don't necessarily care for and I currently am viewing it as an extremely negative experience that I'm hem-hawing around, bitching and griping and moaning about, as if I have no control, as if I don't create my reality, as if I'm a victim wrapped up in a victimhood. Fear sandwich, hood, fear sandwich. Take yourself out of that place and try to go into that spot of okay. You know what History has shown me? That I am always okay and that things are always working out in the best way, for the highest and best good, and it keeps. I have experienced that time and time again. So trust in that, trying to change your perspective a little bit, which then will align you with the solutions or the viewpoint or the information of why it's happening. What am I supposed to be learning? What am I I? Why did I create this? It'll help align you to that information so that you can receive it now, not years from now, right?
Speaker 2yeah so once you do that, then you begin to have a better understanding and you're basically teaching yourself a new habit on how to process the information, and that then in turn by the design of the mechanism I keep using that word, but I just really don't know what else to call it Process.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2Is you're teaching yourself a new way of habit. Okay, instead of some.
Speaker 2Thing happening that you view as is. You're teaching yourself a new way of habit Instead of something happening that you view as this is so shitty. Why is this happening to me again? The car is broken down, again, I'm late to work, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You elevate yourself to a different way of thinking, a different frequency of okay, you know what the car's not really wanting. To start right now. There's got to be a reason why and relax into that, practice relaxing into that instead of getting tense and angry and frustrated, and that change in the mind, the body and the frequency allows that higher self communication to come in and say well, you're not supposed to be leaving yet. This is going to happen this way or whatever.
Speaker 1I heard every word you said.
Speaker 2Oh my heavens, Can you stop with the poop talk Seriously? Oh my God, this is such a shitty subject right now.
Speaker 1I don't know. What a crappy way to go. No, I think you're hitting the nail on the head and you have to practice it though. Yeah, I totally agree with you. I totally agree because I mean, I mess it up a lot.
Speaker 2Well, I mean and we've been.
Speaker 1I say mess it up, it's a harsh word, it is. That's kind of heavy yeah.
Speaker 2We forget from time to time and we get impatient as well. And the beauty of it is not being judgmental on yourself, just remembering that in every second of every day is a perfect opportunity to begin again.
Speaker 1I agree, I agree, and you know the last part of it is is what do we do to get back on track after we've identified it?
Speaker 2Um, for some reason I didn't process what you said.
Speaker 1When we, when we have created a journey, and then we humanly interact and we just figure out how to identify and go through things, how do we get back on track? How do we right our wrong, so to speak? Okay, that's the answer, dr Jenny. Appreciate it.
Speaker 2That was a great answer. Very good answer.
Speaker 1Well, I thought I answered it already well, you kind of did, but I just want to kind of reiterate because I could see where people could tie that all together I guess I'm not clear on understanding the question exactly so when you've realized that you're doing the impatience or the trying to force something into play.
Speaker 2Is that what you're talking about?
Speaker 1yes the initial subject we talked about it had to be like, like when I like you know. Prime example is when we were trying to take this motorhome camping this weekend and every place I tried to go to didn't accept us. You know how I handle it during is I had I stopped myself and I say, okay, I'm humanly interacting with this, obviously, and it's okay, it's not a big rush, nobody's gonna die. What is this? We're just not gonna go camping this weekend. It's okay, everything is alright.
Speaker 2You can take myself to a place of neutrality yeah, I mean that's, that's exactly perfect on how to handle it is getting to that place where I think probably the easiest thing would be checking with one's emotional guidance system. So if, if you're trying to put plans in motion or do something and it seems exciting and fun, and when you, when you step out there to make the reservations or to orchestrate, uh, a step of the journey, whatever the step of the journey and plan to do something the minute that it begins to feel like a struggle, resistant, complicated, that's what happened to me.
Speaker 1I was like yucky how many places. Do I have to call?
Speaker 2That's right. The minute that the thought process changes from fun and exciting to feeling like yucky whatever word you want to tie to that of. Oh my God, I'm so frustrated right now. Why is this going this way? That very second when that thought or that sentence comes out of your mouth. You're right. That's an indicator that your frequency has changed.
Speaker 2Yes, and you might as well stop you might as well hang it up will not line up with the reality that you're trying to line up with, because your frequency doesn't match go ahead and push.
Speaker 1I can't yeah.
Speaker 2Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1Because that's what it is really.
Speaker 2It's just a turd, Just go back and check with how do I feel right now?
Speaker 1Right.
Speaker 2That would be the easiest, I think, no matter what. I always refer to this as a game of being in school, you know, pre-k, elementary, middle school, high school, graduate program. So no matter what level you're at in your awakening process, I think that technique can be used by everyone. Whenever you're following your joy and your excitement and it all of a sudden has that pivotal moment where it changes, yeah, and it no longer feels joyful or exciting and like on thursday when I sat back in my chair after calling the third place and had a whole list of places I was about to call.
Speaker 1I sat back and I was like why is this so difficult?
Speaker 2That's that pivotal moment where it's like, okay, just pause, push the pause button, take a breath.
Speaker 1Take a step back, agreed.
Speaker 2Hold up. Wait a minute, let me put some boom in it.
Speaker 1Oh my God, somebody, please get her a contract, because she is going to pop off with some rap. She's going to be a spiritual rapper.
Speaker 2Rappy doo, so that would be probably the easiest way. Rubbery, so that would be probably the easiest way.
Speaker 1Robbery Robbery, that was pretty funny.
Speaker 2We're having a Scooby-Doo moment, rob, rob.
Speaker 1You didn't even catch yourself doing robbery. That's robbery the way you. I can't even do it. I think you just did that I don't either.
Speaker 2That's robbery, how we can easily get there okay, ruggy.
Speaker 1Well, we have totally turned this girl's. Get this girl a Scooby snack man.
Speaker 2She's working hard. That's funny, I work hard Anyway.
Speaker 1but I guess you know to kind of recap and get to a point of completion, I think, is understanding that our journeys we create and when we humanly interfere with them, sometimes we're going to it's going to happen because we're human, that's what we do. We have no patience. Sometimes we're going to it's going to happen because we're human, that's what we do. We have no patience. And sometimes we do it for other reasons, because we're trying to clear beliefs or whatever, but identifying it, understanding it, finding neutrality in it, accepting it and then continuing on and aligning with the vibration of what you've created. And it is really the simplest way to put it in layman terms, I guess.
Speaker 1By using your emotional guidance system by using your emotional guidance system.
Speaker 2The minute that it changes that pivotal moment where it feels yucky. I do want to add one other thing that having an insistence on the way something should go can look like this as well If you're doing something to extract a better feeling outcome and insistent that it must give that to you, that's a form of insistence. Yeah, I understand that was very confusing. Let me see if I can say it better.
Speaker 1It's forced right.
Speaker 2There's a question out there. There's some question out in the collective. Do, do, do do, do, do, do. I guess what I'm trying to say is I need this thing to happen so that I can. Oh, here, let me give you this example. This will explain it. I need to win the lottery. I'm desperate to win the lottery.
Speaker 1Because I'm broke.
Speaker 2So that I can quit my job because I hate my job.
Speaker 1Oh, I like that. I broke one better. I thought that was going to be more fun. I'm that. I broke one better. I thought that was going to be more fun. I'm kidding.
Speaker 2Well, you will never align with winning the lottery if it is being used as an insistent solution to a perceived problem.
Speaker 1Yep.
Speaker 2You've got to get relaxed about the whole concept.
Speaker 1Yes, when you're using that I think that's actually a really good description. Is that secondary result that you're trying to force a journey into a secondary result?
Speaker 2As a human solution to a perceived problem.
Speaker 1Yep, Because in what you just said, I hate my job so I want to win the lottery. So you're doing that distorted reality thought of the only way I can quit my job is to win the reality or to win the lottery.
Speaker 2That's right. And so that's a very good identifier. And so as long as you have that distortion in place, no matter what the topic is, you will prevent yourself from bringing yourself to alignment with that reality most of the time.
Speaker 1Perfect, good job.
Speaker 2You must be a doctor.
Speaker 1Nicely done you must be a doctor.
Speaker 2Indeed.
Speaker 1I feel complete, do you?
Speaker 2I feel complete.
Speaker 1You missed the. You didn't say the normal thing. I always feel complete. I, I feel complete, you always you. You missed them. You didn't say the normal thing. I always feel complete.
Speaker 2I always felt complete. Well, I got distracted in my own head because I was trying to bring the poop around oh, you were trying to come up with a way to to uh poopify it flush this podcast with a another comment I was trying to incorporate poop one more time just because it's funny. Why is it so funny to talk about farting and poop? Why are farts?
Speaker 1because it's taboo in the human world.
Speaker 2It's taboo even though we all do it like listen every animal on this planet does it I know, but watch, let me watch this. We go into the store and we're shopping and and if you pass gas, it's the funniest damn thing that happens.
Speaker 1Or if I do, or you watch people walk through it.
Speaker 2Yeah. And why is it so funny? Because if we burp, we don't find that much enjoyment out of it or get that hysterical about it. So why is it that it's so funny whenever you talk about poop or farting out the other end.
Speaker 1I don't know why it's so funny, because when we vomit or we burp.
Speaker 2We don't find that as humorous or comical. No, we find it almost like repulsive and disrespectful, like if you burp at the table, people look at you like that's because you have no truth. The only person allowed to burp is the king well, I guess you have permission, king james we spent an entire day yesterday with people calling him king james because he had our cellular service put in his title of his name.
Speaker 1When it pops up on the it was a nickname that my old boss gave me.
Speaker 2It's king james so through our cellular provider. It pops up king james.
Speaker 1Whenever the caller everything's up King James whenever they call.
Speaker 2My last name is King and so when he, he'll call somebody and he'll, and it pops up, they'll be like well, mr King, what is the best? Is this the best number we can reach you at?
Speaker 1yeah well, you know, I decided that next time somebody asked me that I'm going to start telling them no, king is my first name. Okay with that. I'm going to start telling them no, king's my first name. Okay, hey, y'all, don't forget to like follow and share and check out our website.
