Witnessing Miracles
Unknown Speaker 0:01
Wake me up.
Brandon Handley 0:02
Before you go, go. Set a listen. I totally grew up in the 80s I'm not gonna lie, I can't my good day to you, sir. I'm got some fun stuff for you today. Got up gonna be along the lines of miracles miracle creation, shit like that. When I had a class I'm in, I'm in a group, I'm in a course it's called creating personal mastery of streak morale, definitely talked about it comes from just the work that he's done over the years, he takes lessons from all the masters. Throughout history, we're talking Buddha, Jesus, whole bunch of Swamis, gurus throughout history, and he strips them of cultural identity. And when he stripped some of this cultural identity, you have an opportunity to revisit some of these concepts. Without preconception of, Oh, this comes from not my Lord Jesus, I can't take it. This call so I'm not my Lord Vishnu can't take it. This calls from you get the picture.
Unknown Speaker 1:37
And
Brandon Handley 1:39
when you do that, when you take away these preconceptions, you don't have a filter built in that does doesn't allow you to say no to something. Or perhaps I should say it makes it easier for you to say yes to some things. Because there's a specific logic. I don't even know if it's logic, there's a specific way that when presented, it's not illogical. That's a double, double negative for all you grammar nazis out there. There's logic and then there's something there's something in there. That just it is it sounds illogical.
Unknown Speaker 2:34
But then there's this there's
Brandon Handley 2:35
this truth. There's this truth in there that you just simply can't refute. It's irrefutable. Simply because the way that it's presented, it fucking makes sense.
And you don't even recognize that it makes sense. That's how much sense that it makes sense, you don't refute it. It automatically bypasses your conscious filter. Your filter that says, Oh, no, that's bullshit. Because none of that I don't believe in Jesus, that I don't believe in the Torah. Get it? Right. So since you didn't say no. You're saying yes. This only applies and subconscious stuff, and not if he or she is asleep. Just a heads up there. So since you didn't say no, yes, it goes into your subconscious slips in there. And and then if there's any way that you can see the logic in it a second time because the material is presented repeatedly throughout the course of a period, and it's also you're also doing it within a group of other people. And you've also said, Hey, I'll keep an open mind. And I'll check this shit out. And belief has nothing to do with it yet. Belief has nothing to do with it yet. But you've accepted it in some way or another in a intellectual fashion. You said intellectually, this bucket makes sense. Okay, so once you've once you've once you've let it slip into the subconscious let it is obviously that's a loaded word. You didn't necessarily let it just fucking happen. Kinda like that one night shift has happened. And you then accept it in the mind, once you accept it on purpose, once you accept it with the intention of saying, Oh, okay. This makes sense intellectually. I'll go ahead and now I'll look for evidence of it in my life. Once you have let it slip into the subconscious, you've accepted it as a possibility. And then you begin to look for it in your life. And then it shows up. Then you experience it. Now, it's no longer just a concept. So long as a thought and intellectual practice. You've got the real life experience, according to how everything is lined up. And now, you're like, the shits real? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no way.
Unknown Speaker 6:20
No way.
Brandon Handley 6:22
No fucking way. And here's, here's here's what happened. It's kind of like a story within a story within a story like a goddamn Russian nesting doll. In the class to the night, there was four of us. And we were going over this, what gets in your way? Or where do you want to be? Or what kind of shit Do you trying to accomplish in your life and what's getting in your way. And this is a class that's offered at no insubstantial amount. And it is for like CE o 's high performance professionals, people who are ambitious, people who are also seekers, I believe that in this in this group, there seem to be a lot of seekers. And again, you find what you're looking for. And there's just some incredibly well, exceptionally well known people in this group within their circles. So when we have our get together, and there are these small group breakouts, that you get together once a week, and you go over these certain concepts and ideas, when we got together. In the group of three out of four, worldwide, three of us were coaches or coaching or had a coaching practice, along the spiritual and transformational lines, just like myself, just like myself. And we're all in similar but different spots along the journey. If that makes sense. we all we all want it to move forward. And we all were looking for how to make that happen. How are you? How are you making that happen? What is the next step that you need to make so that you can experience your desires in a way that you say you would like to in your life? And that's a tough one. Because a lot of times you come up with a lot of bullshit answers to that. And you say things like, well, if I had marketing or if I have more money if this or that. A whole bunch of things come up in that. And honestly, the truth of the matter is, it's a couple of things a maybe you really don't fucking want it. Is that really what you want? Because if that's really what you wanted, wouldn't you be taking steps and action towards it? It's fair question. If you wanted it badly enough, there wouldn't be a barrier to it. We how many stories are you familiar with in your lifetime? where people have made it or done it and insurmountable
Unknown Speaker 9:37
odds?
Brandon Handley 9:38
They aren't even super smart seemingly. And and you're like, What the fuck is wrong with me? Why is my life like this? Or maybe that's just me and I'll take that but we I happen to find myself and this group of at least three of us at the same time brought together in like, this way there's like what are the fucking odds well Word that we're all we have the similar limiting beliefs Do we have the similar spots of being stuck in? And while we were talking, one of my suggestions was to somebody else in the group, I was like, Well, if that's really what you want in your life, then why don't you talk to somebody who's achieved it? And what are some ways start looking for? Start looking for the ways that you could achieve that for yourself, if that's what you really wanted? Because chances are, chances are, you know, certain ways. And there's certain ways and other people have done it at this point that maybe you're not willing to do, because that's just not you. Right? And again, maybe that's another one of those limiting beliefs. Well, it's got to be done a certain way. Okay, maybe, then maybe you don't want it. Right. We have to, we have to be okay to admit that to ourselves. We have to be okay to let go some shit that we said we want, that we don't want it anymore. And then be okay with that. Overall is not what I want. Just kidding. Sorry, y'all. Just because you've got a lot of mental energy ish, shit tied up in it doesn't mean that you want it anymore. And that's okay, too. So that was one of the questions that kind of popped up in the group, too, was uh, maybe maybe? Pretty sure that's what you still want? Is that really what you want? understanding what it is that you actually want is not it's not easy? Because you say, you say why don't you start working towards it? Oh, yeah, I guess I didn't want it that bad, right. And that's okay, it wasn't worth x, y, z price, there's a price that you have to pay for all these things. And that looks like money that looks like time that looks like time away from family that looks like more time with family that looks like some things that maybe you're simply not willing to do at this point in your life. Yet any rate, so there we were three of us. in similar situations, I personally feel like I'm making the progress and doing the things and taking the steps myself. I don't know if I could be doing it any harder or faster. I've hired a you know, hired marketers, I've hired people to do my branding, I've done things I think that are on brand on point selected a targeted message selected different space, like, again, spirituality for the street, spiritual dope, it's a definitely a brand, it's definitely got a targeted demographic. And you know, and, you know, in support of mental health, there's a you know, there's another reason for it, how to apply it in your in your life, so that you can have to be anything that you want beyond your limited, mortal self. some shit like that, once you incorporate overall spirituality. So that's where I come from on it. And, you know, I've even got right now, somebody, you know, working with me, PR, too, help spread the message beyond the way that I know how because guess what, I don't know how to do some of these things. And sometimes I don't want to know how I want to find somebody that specializes in it to help me. So I can accelerate to a place that I would like to be at the same time in a in organic fashion without deviating from the message without without putting the need to monetize this in such a way that it influences the message. And what I mean by that is I'm not looking for ways to press on your pain points. To say that you've got to make a move in your life and buy my product, right. I don't feel like that's 100% necessary for where I am today. And what I'm doing. So I avoid it as part of the whole stick as it were again, so that I can stay pure anyways,
shared all that out with the group. And also the idea that if you want to find somebody, if you do want to take any steps like that and you want to see it show up in your life, you got to go out and you got to look for find it. And, and then the one one guy in the group, he says the other thing he said to which I stuck out in my mind, just What's on your plate? what's in front of you right now is enough, as you're making the progress that you should be making with intention with purpose. And surrendering a little bit, again in surrender means
Unknown Speaker 15:15
stop trying
Brandon Handley 15:16
to control all the outcomes only control, you work work on what's right in front of you right now as part of the process. And as a second part of that, this whole thing is that this is a sort of group where we're focused on creating or witnessing miracles with our life, however you want to see it. And two parts to that the odds of this group coming together are what? Three out of four of us worldwide, what are the odds of us coming together? The first answer to that, and I got this from a gentleman who's been on the show before Adam Walton been coached by him before and brought up a scene like this Tim before and just the odds of this are 100%, it had to show up in my life in such a way like this, that I would accept it, to motivate me to, to have an impact, to be noticeable to have awareness of it. So the odds are like 100%. So then the very next morning, speaking of miracles, I've got meetings that are back to back, got a little coffee shop that I want to go get some coffee for, but I don't have fucking time for it. Because I got all these meetings, and they're good meetings. I'm really, really looking forward to them. Because I'm doing some cool shit. However, I still want that cup of coffee. What I want is like this little break just in the day to change up the pace of things. And my 10 o'clock cancel, I was like, shut the fuck up.
Unknown Speaker 16:53
Mariko
Brandon Handley 16:54
gives me a little bit of time to run across and grab a cup of coffee. So I want to cross it and get this cup of coffee. And Funny thing is his funny on the way in. There was a dad telling his daughter stay outside with the dog goes hoppy, right? She goes, What if What if I get kidnapped? And he goes, he goes, look, I'll be I'll be back before you're kidnapped. I have asked when we walk as like to just tell her that you'll be back before she was kidnapped. Yeah, I was like, all right, just making sure I heard that. Right. And I leave the place with my coffee, and the goddamn lemon Danish because they bake them fresh there and just wanted it. That's why I've wanted I've resisted for way too long. And I go outside, walk outside. And as I'm leaving, there's a there's a dude sitting there. reading his book power versus force by David Hawkins. got two options. I can note it. That's a cool book in my head and keep walking. But I was like, fuck it. I was like, I was like, Yeah, that's a great book. I said it out loud to him. Because Yeah, I was like, What do you check it out what's happening? We get to talking. And turns out, he is a men's spiritual coach right down the street. We get to talk about different things and pieces, we can act on a lot of different things, but which is all awesome. But the big takeaways I looked at as a miracle something that you know, without that night before talking about having a coach show up to does what you're trying to do in your life. So that you can find somebody to to rap about this stuff with. Like shamwow and instantaneous the moment that you believe that something like that could even happen. Like I had to be able to believe that something like that was possible in my life, to be aware of it, to allow for it to show up. yada yada. What are your beliefs around what's possible for you in your life. And the thing with spirituality is that if you believe that you have to do it all yourself within the confines of you and your own mind. And you have to force these things yourself. What you're not allowing for is this idea of this idea of surrendering to the universe and trusting as Alan Watts said, Justin the universe as though it were another throwing your the possibility of anything that happen that is in alignment with what you're trying to do in your life. As a step towards it, whatever that is. And I'm always reminded of the quote, or the idea of you only had to see 200 feet in front of you when you're driving at night. your headlights can only see two to 500 feet in front of you. You keep driving the headlights keep on shining two to five 100 feet in front of you continues to open up, you just have to follow the road. Same concept, same idea. Same thing will happen for you and your life if you're willing for it. If you allow for it, if you follow it if if you're willing to believe you're willing to step out in faith and if you're willing to go beyond just slightly beyond your current belief system and accepted, anything is possible for what you once deemed impossible. Check it out later.
