on Christmas Day 2020. Thomas over, it's almost over everybody, we've almost made it through 2020. If you are able to listen to this podcast, if you were able to tune into what is happening here today, there's a good chance that, uh, the rest of your life is going to be super awesome, right? If you've made it through 2020 unscathed, meaning alive, you've got a lot, you've got a lot ahead of you. And this is going to be a year, of course that we all remember. At the same time, it's going to be sure that we're all just as just as ready to get beyond just ready to get beyond. So we are still working through, are you ready to succeed. And we are on chapter five, you can change the universe. This is the chapter where it finally dawned on me just how powerful this book was laying a little bit of incense over here, we get ourselves into the mood. But I was sitting on a plane flying I think out to Denver, a friend and I were we're having a conversation online earlier that day, about you know, miracles, just in general about becoming medically minded. And as we go through this chapter, you're going to understand exactly why he sneaks in, right? I know that I put it in here somewhere that he sneaks, this kind of squeezes this chapter in, underneath of, to me, almost should be like two chapters. Right? Of course, I'm not the author, but you know, sneaks this one in here. And it's pretty awesome. Pretty awesome. So stay tuned, we're gonna get through this one here. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, whatever holiday you celebrate. You know, the holiday I celebrate the most is every day is a holiday. I've got up on my board right now, on my whiteboard, you know that this is fun. I'm having fun, be fun. Not too long ago, I also had up on my board, my whiteboard. flyff is a treat, man, we got a joy, we got to celebrate it, we can't just can't just go through it without without looking forward to it right, looking forward to every day. So whatever day you're celebrating, I hope you're celebrating today. And today, we will be going through chapter five, you can change the universe. In addition, if you would like to get access to this mind map that I've created for this, just check on the website. I also create the videos, as I'm creating the audio so that while we are going through it, you could if you wanted to just see me kind of poking around as as we go through this mind mapping. So without further ado, the introduction to this one, you know, this is another part where I really resonated with us Sreekumar Rao, he's talking in the beginning of this just about the spirituality of his mom, as a mother, how she was super spiritual, super connected. And, you know, my mom was too, right. Just just, you know, super connected in a lot of ways. The deal is, is that, you know, when we're when we're young, and full of, you know, vim and vigor, or some vinegar, and whichever one you want to take a look at, especially as a young young man, we would just resist because we already think we know all the things you know, we we get a few right answers, we're told we're super smart. Next thing, you know, we know everything, just how just how it rolls. So his mother was super spiritual, that was kind of his foundation to a lot of this. And she thought that the universe was benevolent, right? And that, that anytime the universe was, you know, it would pull you out at all times, right? It would, and alliances would permit one to surface even when swallowed by tidal waves who just always kind of reach out, reach out to you. He also says, Hey, he resisted his mother's wisdom. Just and again, I also resonate with this so hard because I just I didn't you know, my mom had a lot of a lot of things to say that were fairly wise and I was like, No, nope, no, no, no.

And, you know, especially now as a father, right, as a parent myself, I'm like, you don't want to share, share this stuff with my own children and let them know. And I've got the full realization, though, that the, they're not going to automatically grasp it automatically and grab onto it, especially because this is this is the world that we live in, they're surrounded by a society that this isn't the loudest noise, right? This isn't the thing making the most noise out there. This is the thing that's spirituality that is, that's got this little ebbs and pockets, there's, there's fights about who's right or wrong over where the soul goes over what the soul is over what spirituality is, and it's like, holy shit, man, just let it go. So it's not too much different than you're a human, you've got a spirit, you need to attend to it, that's really it. And then you know, also recognize that the spirit of you is much larger, and greater and connected. than, than the physical sense being that you can, you can see right now. So that's my personal take, anyways, you know, we get, we get tuned into this, and we get taught this stuff, you know, when we're younger, a lot of times, but we don't have this kind of foundational obvious knowledge to be able to see it. So obviously, we're gonna resonate with everything else that we see, especially when there's only one of them, like his mother, my mother, and maybe myself. That sees it, and it's not until it becomes the mass masses, right? That it becomes kind of like this easily accepted thing, even that it becomes kind of regurgitated and a lot of a lot of one of the true message is lost in it. So anyways, you know, his his mom tells this story about, you know, or I think he tells a story about he, why, why are watermelons growing on the ground, when they're big, and they're just supported by vines and cherries, which are tiny, are supported by like this, this big tree? And at some point, you know, a cherry falls on his head. And his mom says, Well, you know, if that had been a watermelon, then that would have cracked your skull. And then he goes ahead and make some jokes, because what about coconuts? What about what about durian, which are like these large, large fruits in the trees that, you know, could fall in and crack your skull? Meaning that, hey, the universe also has these other things, what about them, not the line that his mother says that that I really enjoyed, and that we're still in the intro of this, that is that. If a boulder falls, faith, you know, we'll turn it to dust. I love that line. You know, if you think about it, anything that seems kind of impending, or when you are living in fear of the whole world or the universe, and it's kind of coming down on you just you know, over the past, over the past year and a half, I've been really fond of saying, you know, let go let God or at least acknowledge that your subconscious is connected to something so much larger than you and give some trust over to your subconscious and your imagination to convert those worries into something, again, that you can handle. ie if a boulder should fall, have faith that the universe will help you out, be benevolent or that you're more powerful subconscious will turn that boulder into dust into something manageable that you can handle. And you see it happen every day. How many times have you heard me say, I'm going to go ahead and trust a thing that is able to pump blood that's going to take when I fall asleep at night, I don't have to worry about whether or not I keep breathing. my subconscious keeps me freezing, there is something alive and intelligent in me that says hey, B, go ahead, you go to sleep. And we'll go ahead and keep your your as alive. Right? So who whatever is doing that for me every night that I've ever fallen asleep for my entire life anytime ever and keeps pumping the air into my lungs. I'm going to trust that okay. And that's within me and connected to something else. That's my opinion. I'll kind of take it. So proof cuts both ways. Moving on, you know, coming into proof cuts both ways is hey, here's the idea of you can witness be witness to the winds or you can be witnessed To the ruins that is you can say, Hey,

I expect nothing but the worst to happen all the time and be you can be the person that says, oh, there it is there happened, I told you, you know, that shitty thing was going to happen or you can be witness to the winds, and you can be optimistic and you look, you can look forward to them. And, and, and exists, right both of them kind of exist. Looking here in the book real quick here. You know, ideally, look, it's a choice, right? You can live right in a world where you know, the the universe destroys those boulders for you. Or you could live in a world where there's all kinds of misfortune and crap out there in the world, right? And the deal is, you have a choice on which would you pay attention to? I'm not sure that we've gotten there yet. There's another part and i'll go ahead. So it's your choice, right. And Dr. Rao makes this note, you don't need to have a revelation to make this change. You can do it right now, this has been part of my very own platform for a number of years, where a lot of people tell you that, in order to have this kind of spiritual awakening or law, not even a spiritual weakening, when you have this, this whole life change that comes over you. It doesn't have to be after you fucking hit rock bottom, you don't have to wait till you are crushed under the weight of the world. You can do this. As soon as you're ready. You can do this as soon as you are ready. Moving on, we're going to step into the law of increase. And the idea is, can you take you have the opportunity to take a look at the universe as as a conscious entity, right, and is intimately intertwined with you and everything that it is that you do. Now, he talks about let's see here, it talks about the idea that you can you know it I love this, it wants to give you what you desire, and you are able to influence it, you have the capability to influence it. And here's, here's one of the here's one of the ways that you can influence it. And if you've heard this one before, stop me. But hey, whatever you are truly grateful for and appreciate will increase in your life, right? And the idea is that you just you just got to start doing it right? You just got to start paying attention to what it is that you're you're grateful for. He says, Hey, skeptical, I don't blame you. Since I once felt this way. I know that I can't change your mind. And that's, this is one of those things that you can't tell somebody that this is going to happen. You simply need to try it for yourself and apply it for yourself before you start seeing it. You start seeing it happen. And he tells the story of two dogs, right. There's there's a, it depends on who's telling the story. I think I remember first hearing it from Zig Ziglar he's talking about the anyway, Indians and how they're up. They're having dog fights. And the grandfather was the one who did the dog fights and it was never the same dog. But the grandfather always got the same dog. You know, always bet on the same always bet on the winning dog. And the child goes, Hey, well, how how do you know which one of these dogs is going to win every time? Right? How do you know which one of these dogs is going to win every time grandfather goes, Hey, the one that wins is the one that you feed. The one that wins is the one that you feed. Alright, so wrap it back up there and we'll look at you know, when you give your energy to that what you are truly grateful for and appreciate. You will inherently see more of that in your life. That is not to say that is not to say that you're not going to have things in your life that aren't going well for you. You will we all will look there's going to be things that pop up in our life that need to be addressed. Right. All these things need to be addressed. And you will do what needs to be done to fix or contain the bad but you will not expand emotional or psychic energy on it gives you a story and and of when we first moved into our current house, we first moved in some big big house and

I was concerned every, it's actually a bitch and whine and moan and every time I hear the heat turned on in my mind, like, Ah, geez, there goes, there goes another 10 bucks, you know, just for firing it up, right? And it was pretty cool. The window was pretty cool. We're getting down to, you know, 20s teens, and it went out, the heat went out. So do universes like, well, he wants to have to stop happening. He wants this bad thing to stop happening, I was investing emotional and psychic energy on it. And guess what it increased, it increased in a way that I didn't want it to right that dog, the one that I was feeding was not the one that I wanted to win. And that's scenario. So when I was a when we got it repaired, when we got it repaired. The the emotion and psychic energy that I spent on the heat being back in my life was was that of joy, right of gratitude. Like, I am happy that I have he, I am so happy and grateful that I receive a heat bill at the end of every month. Because that means that my heat worked throughout the month that I was able to pay for the bills, that you know that I still got an account that's in good standing, that I'm able to stay warm and comfortable in my life. So those are a couple of things that even when you think about the law of increase, and it will go in both ways. But the idea is that you want the dog that you want to win is the one that you are, you're truly grateful for right the one that one that you're really happy to have. So again, I know that I showed the emotional and psychic energy on something that wasn't great. But I also showed you what happened. What when you put your energy on, you know, whichever dog so I've got plenty of stories don't get me wrong, I've got plenty of stories. That's this first one that comes to mind of when things have have gone right and or well, but this also just shows what happens when you expand emotional and psychic energy on the things that are not great in your life. Cut it here and we'll get on to section two
