Ep. 7 Joel The Soul

This was a super random and energized episode. I talked a lot of wild things and highlighted discussions for the future but ultimately, it was just a bit of my understandings of the brilliance of the world and where we are heading as a society. 

I mentioned the book - Biology of Belief by Dr. Bruce Lipton PhD.

Hi, welcome back. This is another episode of the Wizard of Wonder podcast with your lovely, luscious luminary of a host, Mr. Captain Joelfields. I'm not a captain, I'm just joking. I don't know why I said that, you know, captain of the SS Starship Enterprise. I'm also not a Trekie, so I probably got that wrong. I'm a Star Wars boy, you know? And I'm a big fan of all cool things that are cool, right? And this podcast, while it's a creative outlet for me, it's it's also an overlap in my business, right? So I talk about business things, I talk about personal things, I really just discuss about who I am as a practitioner, right? Who I am as a person, who I am as a soul, right? I'm Joel the soul. And I've I don't know, we're we're in my midday, right? It's it's the last day of April. I'm excited. I I love April. Like April, April's one of the seriously coolest months going out going through Facebook, you know. Like I like to wish people a happy birthday. And everybody whose birthday happened in April, I'm like, man, you're you're like a badass person, right? All these people, all these badasses are born in April, right? My Aries brethren, or some of them are Taurus, you know, towards the end of it, it's it's more we're in tourist season now. So anyway, cool stuff. I don't I don't really know where I was going with that, but I'm I'm glad that I did. I'm glad that I went somewhere with it. Anyway, I've I had two really awesome clients today, and we had some great conversation. You know, one cool thing about being a massage therapist is that when I'm doing massage work with people, I I like to talk, you know. You know, it's so funny. I've I've gone back and forth with this over for years, and I've always been like, you know, should I should I be quiet in reverence during a session? Or, you know, should I just chill, right? Or just like be loose and be more airy, right? Sometimes there's this idea that it's like, you know, I don't want to be like just like a gossipy hairdresser type, right? Like, like maybe we've had a massage by somebody like that before, and you're like, you know, just shut up and work on my body, you know. I'm I'm a person who talks with their hands, and I I'm talking with my hands right now. My hands are just like making little little mouth movements, you know, there's like little ducks on my hands. I don't know. It's just just goofy jol. But I I'm a I'm a person who talks with their hands. And have you ever had this is funny, but have you ever had a massage by somebody who talks with their hands and doesn't know how to not talk with their hands during a massage? So like half of the massage is actually their hands off of your body, just like conversing, you know? Have you ever have you ever experienced that? It's kind of a goofy funny thing. And I don't know. I don't even know what I was talking about that for. I don't know. Today I was gonna sit down and I was gonna talk a little bit more about just some weird things in life, right? And it's maybe, maybe we can just keep on the the topic of weird things of life right now, instead of getting into anything more serious. You know, I've I've been wanting to do a a second or a follow-up episode to the religion stuff. I I'm still letting it cook. Maybe, maybe that'll be for a good time when I'm feeling heated about something. So we'll wait until somebody approaches me and be like, you're the devil, right? I'm just waiting for it. You know, I'm gonna stick out my tongue and make like the devil face and really scare the socks out of them. I don't know. That was a little bit of nonsense right there. You know, maybe I channeled my inner butt head or beavis. Sometimes I can't keep them apart. I don't know. Anyway, today's a jazzy kind of a die. And I anyway, getting back to it, I had two awesome clients today. I have two more clients yet today, and it's been great. You know, I I woke up and I've been feeling really, really freaking good. Okay, so I'm just gonna tell you guys a couple of days ago, I went and I I apologize for just voicing, right? I'm just voicing my opinion, and I'm a silly, silly little weasel. And I do things like that all the time. So if you guys are like, what is wrong with this guy? You know, I've told you before, I have ADHD, I'm unmedicated, and you know, I I yeah. Anyway, anyway. I don't even remember what I was talking about for a second ago, and I thought I was on a really good place of trend trajectories. Anyway, trying to think about it.

I don't know. You know, I I've been I've been talking with some people about some different things, and you know, I I I had a lot of receptivity from my last episode on acceptance and like talking about things, and even when I was talking about the religion stuff before, I had a lot of people come forward and like reach out to me privately or like you know, comment on something or message me or do something, right? And they're like, Joel, you're not alone, not not by far, you know. And I think more younger people are waking up to stuff and they're just really sick and tired of things. So I don't know. One of the things that I really get sick and tired of is seeing my community completely deteriorate. And you know, I I might have spoken about this before, but I live in a very small farm rural town community, and there's a lot of things that happen here that make me wonder what the heck is really going on, because there is small town, right? I'm not sure the population, it's like maybe I don't know, three, four thousand, maybe, maybe not even that. I don't know. It's small, but it's a small town, and there's a lot of things that go on where it just doesn't seem like there's any growth and development or expansion, or you know, there's nothing new happening here. You know, I was talking with a client earlier, and you know, he was saying, he's like, you know, the the crazy thing about Paulding is like it never changes, right? It there's no, it's so funny, the the town newspaper, which isn't even owned by the town anymore, it's called the Paulding Progress, right? And there's there's not a lot of progress in this town. It's it's kind of the opposite. And I think a reason for that is that a lot of the people who are involved in the leadership have just held on to these leadership roles for far too long. And it's there's this level of detra distrust. I'm sorry, uh level of distrust. So these older folks who've been in these roles for, I don't know, 20 years, you know, 15, 20 years, easy, have clutched on to their pearls and they're like, my goodness, I'm not gonna give up the power, the power of this, you know, influencing this small town and like making it just suck, right? It just sucks. And, you know, I I hear stories from my parents who grew up here, you know, about you know, going to the malt shop after, you know, after school or during school, even, you know, and you know, having this good food, having all these different options for restaurants, for coffee shops, for stores. You know, there were clothing stores in this town, and and like you you can't buy anything in here anymore. You know, my town is so weirdly small that when the pharmacy went out, you know, that the pharmacy was the liquor store, right? So the town scrambled so fast. I've never seen action happen so quickly here in town. But they the local grocery store took over that liquor license because they're like, oh, we cannot lose our liquor license. Gotta have our liquor, gotta keep us all distracted with the alcohol, right? And if you're a drinker, that's whatever, right? I don't mean to say anything, right? I I just I don't like alcohol because I've had some really dear friends of me, of mine, like they haven't luckily, I mean, what they haven't like passed or anything like that, right? But there is this whole thing where you know their lives have been dramatically altered, changed, affected based upon the amount of alcohol that they consume. And it's it's sad, right? It's it's very sad. Now, me on my my life, my my chosen thing, and I'll I'll talk more about this, but I'm a cannabis man, right? Always have been, and I might as well talk about right now. I've talked about a little bit before. So for those of you who may or may not know, and if you know, it's cool. And if you don't know, all right, well, whatever. It is what it is, right? I'm a cannabis man. Always have been, always will be. Maybe I always will be. I don't know. Maybe that's changing. Maybe my story around all that stuff is changing. Who knows? Gosh, gosh. I I with the with the ADHD, I can think like a thousand things at one time, or maybe maybe at least ten, right? Ten good things at one time. And sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Today I'm all hyped up. I got in a really good workout today before working, and I I I I like mushrooms, right? So I know I was gonna talk about cannabis, but I don't know, it just goes all over. Today's a random episode day, right? And I'm kind of just making this on a whim because I realized it's Thursday, right? And tomorrow's Friday. My sessions or my podcast episodes drop Friday mornings, so I'm gonna have this done and nicely packaged. And you know, I'm sitting here on lunch break and I'm like, you know what? Might as well be a good time to talk about some stuff. And it's good. Anyway, so getting back to it, talking about mushrooms, okay? These are medicinal mushrooms, and I use a product called Host Defense. It's by Paul Stametz, who is, in my opinion, the foremost expert on mushrooms right now that we have. And all self-taught, lovely. Big shout out to Mr. Paul Stametz. And so it's his brand, and I take a blend, it's called My Community, and it has many different, I don't know how many different types of medicinal mushrooms in it, but pretty much any kind of medicinal mushroom that you can think about is in this capsule. So I take these, and then I've also been taking, I go between lion's main mushrooms, which are involved in that my community, but I sometimes I'll take them separately, and that helps with neuroplasticity within the brain and helps kind of regrow brain, neural tissue, and expand a lot of conscious thoughts. So it makes thinking a little easier for me. Oftentimes I think that it helps with my ADHD. And then today I took cordyceps mushrooms, right? So cordyceps mushrooms help with energy, stamina, things like that, right? In a natural way, not like you know, but just more like a pew, pew, pew. I don't know if that makes sense at all. Maybe you're just like, whatever, Joel, get to the meat and potatoes, right? We just want the gravy from you, boy. Anyway, I don't even know. We're talking about food here now. But no, cannabis, cannabis and I, right? Anyway, I'm gonna save it for another adventure, another time, another time. Because it'll probably be a whole episode, right? I just ran and ramble about that and some of my experiences with that. Anyway, getting back to it. I was talking with a client earlier, we were talking about like different things within the small town, and you know, it it bums me out that there's very little being done here in this town that celebrates, validates, understands younger generations. And I talked about this in another episode where just the the entire education system here in my little small farm rural community is kind of weird, right? Because you know, okay, so more and more people are having sex, right? Well, I don't know. Uh that that's crazy, that just sounds nuts, right? Just tangent, right? But people still have sex, right? So people still have sex, people still have babies, babies end up going to school, right? And they end up needing a good education, right? So where I went to school, a lot of people are like, oh, Paulding kids are dumb, right? Blah blah blah blah blah blah. Right. And I don't know. I I I never really found that to be so much of the case. Like a lot of my friends who went to Paulding that I'm I'm friends with now, even so, you know, we have remained friendships. They're they're intelligent people, you know. It's not like they're just sitting around drooling, being like, you know, one plus one equals 92, you know, something silly like that. I don't even know. Pulling that out of the monkey out of my hat. And why the monkey has the hat, I don't know. Anyway, but yeah, my so my friends who went to school with me are intelligent. You know, we we have really good discussions about things sometimes. Sometimes they go, I don't know, really highbrow, and sometimes they go kind of like more like Neanderthal, you know, and you can go either way with with conversations. Who knows? Maybe it's the ADHD in me, maybe it's the fact that I have friends who have like ADHD or autism or stuff like that that that makes them a little bit more of a unique soul. You know what I mean? We don't just sit around talking about like, well, LaDow Jones is trending, right? Or whatever. You know, who cares about that stuff? That stuff is just super meaningless anymore. To me anyway, to me anyway, maybe maybe to you, you're sitting around and be like, you know, Joel, my DAO is quite important to me. You know, I don't know. I don't even know what that stuff means. But, you know, I work on it a little bit of a different level from other other people, and that's just is what it is. But right now in my community, right, our education is being threatened. And I've talked about this before, but it's it's kind of a big thing. And they're they're trying to push this levy through, right? And these they they keep making it. It's like, you know, these aren't about salaries, they're not about like paying our teachers more or something. It's like, okay, so what's wrong with paying our teachers more? You know, they're literally responsible for educating our kids. And something that I've just noticed and picked up, right, is that, you know, a lot more parents are having less responsibility. So like they're less, you know, less parents are more preoccupied with their phone or with TikTok or with whatever the heck's going on around them, that they're they're completely forgetting that, hey, I have to instill all these thoughts and patterns into my child, you know, preferably before the time that they're seven or eight. So that way their whole personalities can can develop in like a more broad way. Okay. So if you're familiar with the work of Dr. Bruce Lipton and his work, his book, Biology of Belief, he goes into these things and we he talks about how these patterning systems can affect these children. And this is just something that I've I've I've known. It's almost like I've just known this stuff, right? So I have a little bit of an interest in lifestyle. I'm sorry, not lifestyle, lifestyle for sure, for sure, for sure. But in life, lifespan development. So when I was in school for my associates of business, I I studied, I took a bunch of classes because at that time it was 2000, I don't know, 2007, six, seven. Weird. And uh as kids say, and so I was like, uh, you know, I I want to take all these classes, right? So and I didn't really have a great education. It was it was a good education. I had good teachers, but it was like secondary high school when I went to college, it just didn't feel great because I was a commuter anyway. So I took these different kinds of classes, right? So that's when I very first got started with actually understanding psychology and taking psychology classes. So I took psych 101, I took abnormal psych, I took life development, and I feel like there's another one in there that I'm kind of forgetting about. I can't think of it right now, but so that's where I started, right? And I had an awesome professor, his name is Dr. Randy Blank, super nice, super sweet guy, very he had a really nice way of like getting you to think outside the box. And I'm very much of an outside box thinker. In fact, I look at the box, I see it way off in the distance. I can spin the box, I can make it go up, make it go down, move the box around, change the color of the box, make it loud, make it quiet. But I'm pretty much outside the box just being like, hi box, I see you over there. And I guess that is what it is. And but yeah, anyway, so I have this understanding and idea about psychology. Oh, I I think it was around like child psychology, maybe. I think, or maybe that was the life development class, eat away, eat it away, right? So I've always had kind of an interest in that kind of thing. So I have eventually I had friends who had kids, and then I can kind of see how they interact with their kids and things like that, and I can see what they do and what they don't do, and I can see at certain pivotal times, they were just like some of them, not all of them, were just more on their phones than actually like holding a kid or playing with a kid or teaching a kid. So now you just kind of see this like whole thing playing out, right? And it's not just them, right? It's it's a whole thing, okay? And as time goes on, we we just kind of have this like downfall of the education system. And now here in the uh United States, you know, they're taking away the Department of Education, they're taking away like all these different things that create the possibility for people to become educated because ultimately what they want is for people to be like sheep people and then just like bah around in the pastures and then have no qualms or quiffs about anything going on. So that way they can be more uh controlled, right? Let's address the elephant in the room and manipulated, right? Because that's what they do, right? And it happens every day, all day, whether we know about it or not, right? It happens through marketing, it happens through logos, it happens through commercials, right? Like when I was in school for my associates in business, I had a really cool teacher who talked about she was my like IT. I actually went for like computer networking, right? Believe it or not, I have a degree in computer networking, but she talked about you know systems of control and things like that, right? And we were talking one day about how Target, right? This the clothing, you know, general store, general store, anyway, they have general merchandise, right? Target, how they actually know more about your your habits and your lifestyle than you do before it actually happens. Like Target can predict when you're gonna have a baby before you maybe even announce it to your family, right? Because they can see your dietary changes, they can see how you're buying different things, and then they create ads based upon that, and then those ads are replicated between, you know, amongst families and things. It's pretty bizarre, right? And then they're like, oh, hey, you needed all these coupons for diapers because we see you're buying all these other things that kind of equal up to baby, right? Who knows? Maybe you're buying a thing of KY Jelly. Who knows? I don't even know. I don't even want to go there, right? Right? Not today, not today. Good good friends, good listeners, right? Of the people of the world. But anyway, yeah, I don't know. Today's today's episode was kind of just a little bit of a rant, a ramble and a rant. Halfway through the day, I got two more awesome clients coming in today. So, like I said, I thought I would just sit down, talk a little bit. I thought I could keep in a coherent line. Like, like last time, I was really, really surprised that like I did a whole podcast on acceptance, you know, just kind of talking about that theme, that overarching theme today. Sorry, not so much. It's crazy because the last episode I recorded like very shortly after I did the last, like, like released it, right? So I was like, oh, cool, you know, but then I had to like wait a week and I'm like, dang it, a whole week, you know? And today I'm like, well, I gotta I gotta have that done by tomorrow morning. So today, here it is Thursday, and I'm like, well, shoot, you know, we gotta sit down sometime today and do a little podcast for you guys. And I'm I'm just I'm excited I'm doing it now rather than later because once later comes around, you know, I kind of get into evening mode or like nighttime duel mode where like I want to go like attend my own little dance party. I want to move my body, I want to feel more electric, you know what I mean? Or maybe I want to go for a walk outside after work, you know. It's actually sunny today, and it's not raining or clouding or storming or anything for right now, you know, in an hour, that could be totally different. We, you know, we could have black skies, we could have flying cows, flying pigs, flying sheep, you know, the whole barnyards out there just blowing through the wind and just being like, hello, you know, it's Thursday, tornado Thursday, whatever. We Ohio has been experiencing all these crazy storms. That's why I speak of this, right? That's why I speak a little bit of nonsense about barnyard buddies blowing in the wind. I don't know. I don't know, but that was today's episode. So I don't even know what the heck I'm gonna name this episode, right? Anyway, my my podcast is a little zany, right? And if you're here for it, you're here for it. And if you're not, you're not, right? That's okay. It's more for me to be able to talk about these things more than it is for you guys to listen. But if you're listening and you're like, yeah, Joel, I like this stuff. This is kind of fun. I am entertained, I'm educated, I'm engaged, and I like knowing more about you, right? Because as I heard today, you know, it's there's a lot of vulnerability in doing a long form thing, right? And I mean 20 minutes or so, that's not very long, you know, but and I can keep on going. I could probably talk for a long time. I think that's why it's good for me to have a podcast because I'm I'm an auditory person and I like talking, right? I like talking about what I do and talking about what I love, right? Talking and sharing about things, right? And that's just sharing our humanity. And in a time and day and age of AI where it's all weird and wonky and strange, and like you see something online and you're like, a bear can't do that, you know. But you have to like reality check yourself and you're like, is that is that real? Is that shit real? Am I really seeing some shit, you know? Or is it just AI, you know? Crazy days. So we have to connect like that through our humanity. So if this is moved with you with you, if this is grooved with you, if you're like Joel, I want some more, let me know, right? I don't know, or not. I'm still gonna do it either way. Because I like it and I think it's fun. And yeah, and when I sit in my recording studio and my podcast studio that I've created in my own home, I just feel safe, I feel secure, and I feel like I can talk about whatever the heck I need to, right? Without any pressures of society. But anyway, yeah. So that's today's episode. And I hope you guys enjoyed it. And I hope you all take really good care of yourselves and do all the good yummy things that you enjoy doing, and I'll see you next time. I'm on the Wizard of Wonder. Bye.
