What\'s up spiritual dope, we are on the way home from a little bit of a BJJ. And we are just, I say we, I\'m just trying to come in here and I know that so many times that I\'ll go over, I\'ll start off my podcast with a guest. And I\'ll share something along the lines of, or one of the first questions asked courses, hey, we, you myself, are conduits for universal energy, meaning, life energy prana the things that move us electricity we are, that\'s what we\'re filled with. And we\'re literally just conduits for creative force. And our expression is, that is that universal force is our spirit is whatever is within us that which is actually you know, expands much, much further beyond us, then we can see the, how we express that oftentimes is through our boys are, no matter what we think of ourselves, no matter what you think of yourself as a creator or not, you absolutely are. There\'s no two ways about it. The things that happen, though, what you create 90% of what you create is internal. I\'m just throwing numbers out there. 10% is what the world sees. So when you think of being a creative type, you probably think of somebody who is a famous guitar player, Jimi Hendrix comes to my mind or clap in my mind. You think of somebody who\'s incredibly gifted as a singer, Florence, the machine, come to my mind, Adele comes my mind with certain hate the blonde lizard at the street here, up by reading, everybody loves her, of course, I can\'t think of her name right now. That expression is what\'s inside of them. And that expression of their gift of their creative gift gets a lot of recognition. And I think that\'s okay. But that\'s really, to me, just the the Spear of, of what creativity is just the Spear of what creation is. And to me, we all have, we all have this gift, to create something memorable, to contribute to make an impact. And oftentimes, what scares you the most is the creation that nobody sees the creation inside of you. The creation of the scene where somebody tells you, that\'s a shitty idea. The scene where it doesn\'t work out exactly as you intended. You don\'t think that it ever occurred. So you never take that first step even though in your mind, it could have the greatest impact on the world. Could you imagine? You know, where would we be without? Lawrence light yoke? Could you imagine where we would be? Without? Maybe Nietzsche without Carl Jung, could you imagine where we would be without the Beatles without to Live Crew on my way back to early hip hop. Could you imagine where we\'d be without?

Ice Cube and those guys Yeah, there\'s certain there\'s bound to be hundreds of people, maybe 1000s of people that told those guys, no. Could you imagine where we might be without Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Johansen with Chicken Soup for the Soul without these guys that they tried to get their book published and they were rejected by 144 different publishers. What if they stopped? You know, what if they stopped at 143? What did they said enough is enough? I can\'t say what they said, that\'s enough. And they didn\'t persist? What if they, you know, what if they believe you know what, maybe this won\'t change as many lives as we think it\'s going to? Because I\'ll tell you what, right now. For the 144, people who rejected that, publishers, publishing houses, rejected their book changed their lives dramatically. It was like, wow, we should have we should have published that. Could you imagine where we\'d be without? Joseph Campbell? You know, famous for his studies of mythology, like, who chooses that as a field? And who has the impact that he has by teaching mythology? You know, without him, we don\'t have Star Wars? Where would we be with? I know, I know, there\'s a lot of people that are ultra Star Wars fans, but you you cannot take away the impact the Star Wars has had on the world. So when you are inspired, to do something, and you feel it in your heart, and you feel motivated, at least for yourself. The smallest action you could take to create that into this world and to the universe to bring it into you is writing it down on paper right now pen and paper, pencil and paper, write it down somewhere, you never have to look at it again. Because at least then you recognize the creative force that is flowing through you. And you give it an expression of some sort. And the more often that you allow yourself to capture creative force coming through you more often that you realize that you are active participant in making it exist in the world. more creative, you\'ll find yourself maybe your creation is writing maybe your creation is storytelling, maybe your creation is is verbalizing, support for another recognizing another\'s efforts and letting them know that you see that effort. And that\'s I think, on the flip side of it, simply. I think in my mind, that\'s a creator, recognizing another creator. In my mind, you\'re recognizing it\'s not so much the efforts for them to it is the effort for them to express kind of the truth of who they are. Because you know, that they\'ve had to go through some of the same battles a zoo to express anything at all, they had to get through 99 trenches, they had to climb over 99 fences, they have to eradicate walls, in order within in order

to make even the smallest expression and when you see that And when you see that they\'re trying to trying out, you see that they\'re contributing to the greater whole

love now that you see that, let them know that they are right. That\'s what you recognize them for. You recognize them for the creator that they are the same way that somebody says not mistake, you recognize the divinity within. So I wholeheartedly hope that whatever is flowing through the you\'re able to manifest and by manifesting adult means by simply closing your eyes and willing in that regard can be like closing your eyes saying yes, I will take that next step and willing it being putting your hand into motion. Putting, putting the idea into motion, writing it down, there\'s gonna be a tangible sense that you feel there\'s going to be an emotion that floods your body, there\'s gonna be a sense of accomplishment that you do when when that you feel when you do this. This is you taking control of your destiny, you taking control of your mind, your thoughts. You recognizing yourself as a creator, taking that step is going to I like to say send a signal to the universe. Right that you\'re willing to accept a greater creative charge, right? You start small. It\'s like that damn. It\'s like those old cartoons, a little spring leaks through it, you plug your finger in it. And whammo and after that, like, it\'s, it\'s, it\'s busting through at the seams. So, you know, try that out. See what your thoughts are, you are a creator, as is everybody else around you. And when you recognize that somebody has to climb that mountain, to even to contribute anything at all, it\'s, it\'s kind of you to recognize it. And that will that in itself will fan your own plans like No, what I\'m also encouraged by my own encouragement of others. That a and I see the impact, that it\'s having a See how it\'s making others feel and see how it\'s adding an intervention to your whole. Today, I feel like today, I feel like doing that. And again, you can do that simply by overcoming any doubt that stands in your way by writing it down. By feeling that sense of accomplishment. You don\'t have to share it with anybody. You don\'t have to share with me. The only person that needs to witnesses and feel it is you
