While having coffee, Brad said to me, “If I picked up every man's phone in this place, I'd likely find pornography on half of them.”  Brad lamented how some men can view pornography in one moment and teach Sunday School the next. Men may think ... The post Compartmentalized Lives appeared first on Unconventional Business Network.

Disorders of the brain are among the most challenging to treat in all of medicine. Among the challenges is access: the brain is locked away in the skull, preventing medicines from reaching their destination. To deal with this difficulty, researchers are turning to an unexpected access point to the brain: the eye. In today's episode of Beyond the Abstract, Derek and Dan discuss new papers that demonstrate neural and immune links between the eye and the brain that could soon help doctors treat diseases ranging from Alzheimer's to cancer.Articles discussedMurdock et al., Multisensory gamma stimulation promotes glymphatic clearance of amyloid.

Cracking the Brain Secrets: 3 Steps to Unleash Your Full Potential" Welcome to the GoalSmasher Podcast, your three-minute brain hack to propel you forward. In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden world of brain secrets and neuroscience to uncover how you can break free from compartmentalized beliefs and unlock your true potential. Brought to you from the insights of "GoalSmasher" by Audrey Lawrence, I'm your host, Larry Playton. Join us as we unravel the enigmatic power of the brain and how it influences our beliefs and actions. Compartmentalized beliefs, those confining notions that often hold us back, can be unlocked using neuroscience-backed techniques. We'll explore the significance of recognizing these limiting beliefs and understanding that they're more like conditioned responses rather than accurate reflections of our abilities. Our brain, much like a versatile tool, has the capacity for growth and adaptation. Confirmation bias can trap us in a cycle of reinforcing these beliefs. Learn how to challenge this bias and embrace new possibilities by understanding the evidence that shows how students' academic performance improves with deep teaching methods, regardless of the school's environment. Keywords: brain secrets, neuroscience, unlocking potential, growth mindset, compartmentalized beliefs, confirmation bias, deep teaching methods, brain adaptability, rewiring pathways, self-awareness, Barbara Oakley quote, Audrey Lawrence, Ted Talks.

Many people act differently in their personal life as compared to their professional life. Many of these compartmentalizers leave their faith behind when they show up for work.   A new study has identified another form of compartmentalization.   Rutgers Business School performed a study that discovered that people who were using their laptops were more prone ...

Ep. 73 (Part 1 of 2) | Daniel Schmachtenberger, one of the most brilliant and integrative thinkers of our time, expresses here his deep love and appreciation for reality itself. Daniel's inquiries have led him to perceive the intrinsic beauty of the wholeness of reality and to the realization that everything is interesting—just like when you love someone, everything about them becomes fascinating. Along with this deep appreciation comes the desire to serve and protect, and Daniel is focused on investigating the drivers of the metacrisis and how best to meet the difficult challenges it presents, a subject interwoven in this conversation with Daniel's findings and ideas about reality, human psychology, education, and the future of the planet.Daniel is a wonderful testament to the far reaching effects of the right kind of education. He relates how he was homeschooled by parents who set him on the path towards goodness, meaning, and beauty right from the start, and who were dedicated to facilitating his interest wherever it led, to include systems theory and how to create a better world. This is a beautiful, rich conversation filled with gems of knowledge and insight—about our human family (actually, the lack of one), the horrible deficit of fathering in modern culture, how we can orient to the sacred and the meaningful, the fact that we actually didn't evolve to deal with the crises we face now but to negotiate successfully as members of a tribe of around 150 people, and much more. Recorded January 10, 2023. “I cannot imagine a context in which one's choices matter more.”(For Apple Podcast users, click here to view the complete show notes on the episode page.)Topics & Time Stamps – Part 1Introducing brilliant integrative thinker Daniel Schmachtenberger (01:32)Finding meaning in the sacred dimensions of our world and the integrated wholeness of reality (03:52)Part of love is the desire to know everything about your partner—when loving reality, everything becomes interesting (05:47)The fractal nature of reality, looking at it through different lenses and receiving different insights, and how the more perspectives you take, the more depth and richness you perceive (07:13)Is there something about the nature of the effort to solve world problems that is at fault in their getting worse?

How are we to respond when facing truly overwhelming situations? Does our attitude regarding hope play a role in specific outcomes? Today we're looking at 1st Samuel 17 and Daniel 3 to get insight.

Is philosophy useful? Can you read too much? How are science and spirituality related? This week's guest is Sarah Abou Hadir. Sarah is a professional editor, writer, book virtuoso, and TikTok influencer. She is a ferocious reader, as she has read about 20 books a month during the pandemic, not to mention her impressive memory recall and retention. Currently, Sarah is in the process of self-publishing the book that she wants to read the most. Sarah studied physics, political science, and public administration at the American University of Beirut, and Journalism, Media & Communication in Madrid, Spain. From philosophy, quantum physics, and mental health, to modern wisdom, it appears that Sarah dabbles in all these esoteric yet practical domains. A little fun fact: Sarah and Benoit crossed paths during the pandemic on Clubhouse, an app that has died very hard since, but shoutout to Clubhouse nonetheless. In hindsight, CH should have accepted the $4 billion offer by Twitter back in 2021… Expect to learn about why reading too much is harmful, the practical application of philosophy, why TikTok can be profound, timeless thought experiments to improve your life, how to fight death, and much more.

00:01.66 mikebledsoe Ah, it's been. Ah, it's been a week connected so took last week off and we're doing this a little late this week. So I'm sure we've got plenty of catching up to do. 00:09.20 Dr_ Placebo It feels weird to not talk to you for this long it. It's a part of my way of life now I mean now the only constant in my life is the puppy schedule which I am now strictly adhering to. 00:15.30 mikebledsoe It's it's strange. Yeah. 00:28.90 Dr_ Placebo And. 00:30.30 mikebledsoe Yeah, how's that ah I've heard I remember Tim Ferriss was writing about getting a dog and how that was created like a new level of discipline and grounding in his life. Are you experiencing something similar. 00:36.28 Dr_ Placebo But. 00:43.14 Dr_ Placebo Totally I was even talking to um, an inventor friend of mine at the gym the other day and we were. We're talking about history and fighter pilots and things like that and how a lot of them say that basic training was the worst thing ever. Ah, during it but the best thing ever Afterward long term and I could describe my my whole life as trying to free myself from any obligation and any schedule whatsoever and what's funny is that I. 01:03.38 mikebledsoe Wow. 01:19.83 Dr_ Placebo I did I was able to do that I basically freed myself of ah, any obligation. Ah, and you know that's when you can get real weird right? But it's ah. 01:31.82 mikebledsoe Been there? Yeah, ah. 01:35.80 Dr_ Placebo But with puppies if if you try to freewheel like that They'll just destroy your life I mean the life I had already is gone. No question. Whatever I was doing before.. It's like a distant memory.. It's so interesting How this has become an all. Consuming thing So fast. 01:56.85 mikebledsoe All right I Want to see these puppies so you got to send me some I'll throw it up in the blog by the way. Um I I'm gonna start having these ah these are gonna be. We're gonna have full blog write ups for the show. 02:02.50 Dr_ Placebo I. 02:14.16 mikebledsoe Ah, they're gonna be posted I'll have a substack up soon that they're going to be going on and people will get emails with a summary and a little little email about the show whenever it pops out every Monday and then the blog will have a written summary. 02:14.55 Dr_ Placebo Rad. 02:29.61 Dr_ Placebo Wow, That's pretty exciting. 02:31.32 mikebledsoe We should be able to just click to from the emails. So if yeah, if y'all were wondering you know when we were gonna turn pro. it's it's happening you know what's really interesting is I remember with barbell shrugged episode 42 was a pivotal show for us. We'd learned something on that show like and we were trying to improve the craft of podcasting and I remember it was episodes 42 through 45 was us going through this transformation and immediately people. Started messaging us saying I don't know what you guys did but whatever you're doing keep it up the show the show that you know is like episode 42 was the best episode 43 44 or 45 you're like oh this is just the new normal. And yeah, so we're on episode 43 of the Monday morning podcast and ah yeah I feel like we're hitting a ah stride with that as well. 03:38.84 Dr_ Placebo Yeah I like the vibe that we've cultivated here. It's really serious topics I mean arguably some of the most serious topics imaginable. It's like ah death and kinks. And entrepreneurship and relationships. But the we're pretty chill about it. It's like serious topics with a ah relaxed vibe. 04:02.13 mikebledsoe Well I think a lot of people avoid these topics because they don't they whenever it was brought up in the past for them. They didn't have a level of levity that was part of the conversation if we can lighten it up a little bit makes it way easier to consume. So yeah I think. 04:12.27 Dr_ Placebo 1 04:22.20 mikebledsoe Enough about enough about us just tooting our horns. Even though we have a lot of horns that too. Ah I think that? Ah yeah I want to fill you on what I did last week you know I got so I got stuck in maui for 2 days and hi now. 04:31.39 Dr_ Placebo Lay it on me, you poor you poor dear. 04:41.37 mikebledsoe I I remember I remember having it was kind of like the it's like the first time I was ever used by a woman for my body. You know I had this moment of like oh my god you just wanted me for my body I feel so dirty. And about 2 seconds later I was like oh my god she wanted me for my body I was like yes so maui similar similar situation I go oh oh bummer I'm missing my flight I'm like well I'm in Maui I'll go to the beach. 05:16.66 Dr_ Placebo So you missed your flight on purpose. Ah. 05:19.40 mikebledsoe No, no, absolutely not no I um I spent a week in molakai which is ah ah, an island with a population of 7000 people and 22000 axis year. So I was hunting out there which was just. The most fun I've ever had hunting it. It was so cool. Definitely going back fact I'll probably go back and I'll invite people to come with me as I so I typically do and yeah, you do. 05:47.37 Dr_ Placebo So you can get a free ride I know you're game blood. So like he's like I love this thing gosh if I just invite like 10 of my friends I can do it for free and if I invite 20 then I have a new career. 06:00.82 mikebledsoe Not not not only not only not only do I get to go for free I might get paid and even if I don't tax write offs baby like I'm going to be applying for my Ffl license like all my guns should be tax write offs. 06:12.45 Dr_ Placebo Boom. 06:20.35 mikebledsoe Organize a couple of hunts. It's a business to business. 06:23.51 Dr_ Placebo And you know what? it's actually ah we're joking about but it's super authentic and that's one of the things I like about you is you? You are that firestarter you get excited about something and then you get other people excited about it I've seen it happen. Many times throughout the years that I've known you so it's. 06:43.10 mikebledsoe Um, sometimes I regret it I'm like oh man I Really kind of screwed that person up but and you know who you are. You're listening out there. 06:46.65 Dr_ Placebo Well. 06:56.10 mikebledsoe Ah, ah. 06:56.40 Dr_ Placebo Ah, so so what do you use? Did you ah hunt them with a knife Ninja stars spear I would love to go spear hunting I feel like that would just be super gangster like a pointy stick. 07:02.30 mikebledsoe You know, um, are you not not for deer but you can do that for hog I know there's a place in Arkansas basically where you can hunt hog with a spear and they use ah they use pit bulls they put like kevlar jackets on these pits and then basically you chase the hogs down the the dogs get a hold of it and while the dogs are holding it you you you stick the pig so that's. 07:26.61 Dr_ Placebo Um, amazing. 07:32.35 Dr_ Placebo That's ah, got to be a very visceral feeling if you'll excuse the pun. 07:37.82 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, um, so that's a possibility. But yeah, what what we did was ah I was shooting a rifle. He's a rifle I have a I have ah a savage ah savage one Ten ultralight. 07:43.53 Dr_ Placebo 22 I'm guessing 07:53.87 mikebledsoe Ah shoots a six five creed more which is a much faster round than what most hunting rifles are firing like it's a newer round There's there's some others that are faster but this is one of those ah speed matters because the amount that that round will drop. Or how much it'll be impacted by wind actually gets reduced a bit so there's fewer adjustments that have to be made when you're shooting really far. But um, exactly exactly. 08:21.93 Dr_ Placebo There's less time for it to fall along the same amount of distance if if it's going faster. It's like a laser pointer hardly falls at all. 08:30.82 mikebledsoe ah hardly but ah yeah so we're out there hunting I got to got to kill early in the the week spent a lot of time just chilling. You know we were very living very primitive. Um I mean we weren't cooking over campfire. But we it was pretty close. You know a shitting outdoors sleeping on a one inch mat ah doors wide open but ah. 08:54.77 Dr_ Placebo Well, it makes 2 of us shitting outdoors at a but mine was a plumbing emergency though. So me and the dogs were ah we were all using the yard. 09:05.12 mikebledsoe Ah, ah I'm sure the neighbors love that the it's like whoa. What's that smell. 09:12.83 Dr_ Placebo That's the least of their worries with what I do in my backyard. 09:18.24 mikebledsoe Yeah, so I I finished the hunt have a great time. Got to connect with some guys. Um Ben Greenfield was on the hunt with me in fact, him and his 2 boys and yeah, just a beautiful time and yeah I go to you know I leave. 09:26.93 Dr_ Placebo Ah. 09:35.60 mikebledsoe Molokai that island I hop on maui to to get on my plane to come home and the flight gets canceled so I find a hotel and then I go back to the airport the next morning and I get on the plane and then they cancel that flight or they delay that flight an hour and they. Delay that flight by an hour about 5 times so I'm just yeah I'm just hanging out the airport you know twiddling my thumbs and ah, finally like they're like oh we'll put you on a flight for tonight. 09:55.21 Dr_ Placebo Oh. 10:09.23 mikebledsoe So come back in 5 hours I'm like all right I went back to the beach and while I'm at the beach I check my phone and they're like oh your flight for tonight got delayed till tomorrow morning. So I I went from like booking a flight where I was gonna catch a red eye on this nice first class. 10:19.90 Dr_ Placebo Wow man. 10:28.28 mikebledsoe Seat and I was going to be able to sleep on the way home and I was gonna be home in like 12 hours to it being like a 24 hour you know added an extra stop in there just to get me home and basically showed up home two days late. Ah my fiance was not happy about that. 10:39.59 Dr_ Placebo Oof. 10:46.79 mikebledsoe And then ah yeah, just just now recovering so basically lost the night of sleep. You know. 10:55.48 Dr_ Placebo Sweet. So did you bring back? some meat did you? ah you you brought your own rifle with you. So I'm guessing you checked that and that was no big deal ah is really interesting. 11:05.45 mikebledsoe No big deal. Dude after after fly I've never flown with a gun before but after going through the process I realized you could pretty much ship any gun anywhere you want inside the us like they don't They're not really paying that much attention to it honestly. So. 11:21.14 Dr_ Placebo I Think it has to do with the volume right? I mean there's just so many packages going every which way but that's got to be an odd feeling because you I'm sure you walk into the airport with a rifle right? like. 11:28.79 mikebledsoe Yeah. 11:36.11 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah I walk in I check in and then I go I got to go up to like the special baggage place and I go I've got ah I've got ah a gun in here and like oh okay, well here's a special form you know which is basically almost nothing sign it. 11:39.40 Dr_ Placebo That's funny. Yeah, yeah. 11:51.79 mikebledsoe Walk it over to a special Tsa section. They take it and then I see it when I land and you know when I landed they didn't even um, ah one of the trips that didn't look get my Id when I picked up my rifle I'm like so anyone could have just walked up and grabbed this. It's like there's a very interesting. Thing going on here. 12:11.40 Dr_ Placebo I'm so you know I don't know how much that happens but I I only check a bag under duress like I don't check bags when I fly the bag stays with me because I see that I see the carousel with all the bags everywhere. 12:20.25 mikebledsoe Yeah I try to do that. 12:28.36 Dr_ Placebo And I'm like how do people not just pick up bags all the time like if I was ah a crooked thief. That's the only place I would go I would just go to Airports grab a random bag off the carousel slap ah a funny ah extra tag onto it. So It looks like it's immediately mine keep like a little pink scarf up my sleeve throw throw the pink scarf on the bag people would never think that's that there'd be oh that guy has the same bag as me, but with a pink scarf on it and you see these bags just making laps around there. You're like how. How did they not get stolen all the time. 13:06.64 mikebledsoe Well with with my my flight being delayed like it was I Ah, my bags arrived a whole day before me. So I'm like all right I got a rifle that's arriving at airport a whole day before me. Hopefully it's there when I get there and it was It was fun. 13:11.78 Dr_ Placebo This is something. 13:19.44 Dr_ Placebo Yeah, hopefully no one picks it up. 13:23.91 mikebledsoe But um, yeah, the meat's being shipped to me they I almost I had to fly in with a cooler because the island is too primitive to carry enough coolers. You're not going to go into like the local hardware store and grab there's 8 of us hunting 8 coolers. It's not going to happen. So um, ah. 13:38.17 Dr_ Placebo Right. 13:42.20 mikebledsoe I Opted to instead of carrying it back which I could have I just said hey ship it I'll pay for it and thank God I did because that meat would have not done well over two days of just being in a cooler. Um, but on the spot we did eat Raw heart So we made like a heart seviche so it technically wasn't a heart raw because it was. 13:43.36 Dr_ Placebo Meaning. 13:52.10 Dr_ Placebo If. 14:01.28 Dr_ Placebo Acid cooked. 14:02.50 mikebledsoe Had some ah yeah, acid cooked a bit but had some raw liver. We killed that week and ah I got to drink amniotic fluid. So one of the deer had been pregnant and we were able to get the amniotic sack. 14:21.46 mikebledsoe Puncture a hole in it fill a cup I drink that I tell you what the rest of my day I was I was on point hump and yeah, just running around hump and deer. Ah yeah, it was interesting I mean basically like drinking stem cells. 14:28.75 Dr_ Placebo Humping deer. 14:33.70 Dr_ Placebo Just as I let you're sprouting hooves. Maybe you'll get antlers wouldn't that be a trip I'm not going to read too much into why? That's the case but that's a cool. 14:40.90 mikebledsoe Oh I think I think Ashley would be ended at the antlers. Yeah. 14:52.80 Dr_ Placebo Cool thing I bet we can already do that I bet we already have the possibility to do weird shit like that like they grew a human ear on a mouse like twenty fucking years ago so I would not be surprised if they could grow you a set of antlers if you really wanted to. 14:54.10 mikebledsoe Ah, so yeah, that was the. 15:11.59 Dr_ Placebo Personally I'm waiting for the ah Elephant Trunk ah surgery where I can get an elephant trunk like maybe in the middle of the chest or something how useful would that be super sensitive I could drink out of it hold. 15:22.34 mikebledsoe Extremely You just pick off or just shit up I've always wanted an action arm. Yeah. 15:31.90 Dr_ Placebo Hold liquids I can sniff with it I mean so crazy strong Never go to the gym again I just have this like absolute unit of a tentacle. 15:44.27 mikebledsoe What we want to talk about today. What do we? What do we want to dig into. 15:51.83 Dr_ Placebo I mean hunting is a cool thing. Um, gosh I mean with the dogs ah speaking of hunting right? like there are hunting buddies. You were even saying before how they. Throw the kevlar on the dogs for hog hunting which is pretty wild. Um man I I have an appointment with a dog trainer I think next week or something like that and I thought I was doing really badly. As ah as a dog owner I thought I was so behind thought I was just a total disaster apparently I'm like way ahead of the curve talking to this lady though but having 2 dogs that are siblings. Brother sister is way tougher because. 16:25.34 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 16:42.99 Dr_ Placebo When you're trying to train them up. They're just you know, biting each other so you get 1 to listen to you and the other one just tackles the one who's listening so it's kind of a funny experience but I could do a whole show on the puppy lessons I've learned so far I started a puppy journal. 16:50.90 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 17:02.92 Dr_ Placebo And I also realized that you know dogs don't have a prefrontal cortex but they're basically like people and I think we give ourselves way too much credit for. 17:12.32 mikebledsoe Um, yeah, um. 17:20.73 Dr_ Placebo Like how clever we could be versus what creatures of ah routine and reward. We really are so you know me I like to ah synthesize things into a little ah easy to remember stuff. So. 17:27.99 mikebledsoe Yeah. 17:39.98 Dr_ Placebo Ah, demonstration is greater than explanation is a good one that applies to both dogs and people and that's also the um, the heart of the the type of teaching I like to do it's like teaching without attachment. To the result of the student because it's a very heavy burden to I used to feel super obligated um to all my customers, especially all my subscribers because the reality is they absolutely um, like made my life I mean the amount of people who bought books and bought videos. 18:18.90 Dr_ Placebo Um, super enriching both ways. So I felt this obligation like I gotta get them to do this thing. You know so I would explain the ever lovingving shit out of it instead of just being the example and doing the demonstration. It's the same with dogs course dogs don't speak English So An explanation is even more stupid but for a human I think um, same kind of idea is way better to set the example than to than to preach. Ah my opinion of course. 18:51.19 mikebledsoe Yeah man Ah, just finished a book last week or so wanting is the name of the book and basically just talks about how we model you know by? everyone's just modeling someone else. The desires are modeled. You don't know. 19:05.69 Dr_ Placebo That help. 19:09.20 mikebledsoe You walk into a bar. You're not you don't want to have a drink but you walk in your friends got a Moscow Mule you're like ah man I need and know I wanted to have one of those but now I do I think that people really can resonate with that that you know there's like I'll have a i. I was at a restaurant a couple weeks ago and for a friend dinner. Everyone ordered drinks I wasn't going to order a drink now I've got a scotch in my hand so you know there's ah no man I can't be the weirdo. Yeah. 19:38.60 Dr_ Placebo Yeah, baby, you don't want to get kicked out of the tribe dude pour me a drink too. That's that's the that's the toughest 1 right is to be exiled out of the group um in a lot of cultures that was. Way worse than death I mean it meant death but a slow suffering dishonorable death. You know your family. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's it's it's a public shaming that leads to a slow death versus. 19:58.35 mikebledsoe Well, you got like death and shame stack together like the you didn't die for a good reason. He he died because you meant you're an asshole. 20:14.80 Dr_ Placebo Ah, like a tribal respect and a quick death which you know one's way better. 20:17.97 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, not in battle. Um, yeah, say you you want to without your puppy Journal I also have my journal from the hunt. So I think we just go through our lessons. 20:27.18 Dr_ Placebo You know if you give me a yeah Pauseit or you can ah keep everyone entertained and I'll go grab that. 20:34.52 mikebledsoe I'll pause it real quick. Go get it so you want to go first. You want me to go first. We got we got puppies and hunting journals. 20:44.19 Dr_ Placebo Puppies and hunting Journals I Love it. Let's ah, let's start with hunting. 20:50.53 mikebledsoe Right? We'll go with hunting right? So um, we actually did a bit of like that the hunting trips I do with Manzel is is. Is a little different than most people first I'm not going to read it. It's very personal. maybe maybe I'll get the balls to ah, go out. Yeah well I I wrote ah I wrote a letter to the deer I was hunting. 21:14.62 Dr_ Placebo Personal like sexual what kind of hunting were you doing out there. 21:23.54 Dr_ Placebo Cool. 21:26.55 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, wrote a letter a love letter to the deer I was hunting. Um, um I had I had an insight over the week that I asked myself. 21:29.69 Dr_ Placebo What else. 21:46.80 mikebledsoe Where am I because everything slowed down I turned my phone off completely off grid and noticed I asked myself where am I seeking stimulation over solitude and you know really noticed around. 2 3 days in how I was really was it. It took me 2 3 days to for the mind to slow down and be on island time because we're hanging out with some people who are from molochi so these are these are like they're not from the city these are. 22:16.71 Dr_ Placebo M. 22:23.35 mikebledsoe These are Hawaiians that are like true true Hawaiian like they haven't been you know, westernized as much and I mean they have but like you know they they hold that Island time thing. Everything's super chill slow motion. Um, and you know for. 22:25.12 Dr_ Placebo They're hunters. 22:36.52 Dr_ Placebo Moon. 22:42.77 mikebledsoe Ah, guy like myself who's going high speed a lot That's just a. It's a bit jarring but I I really started asking myself. You know where am I where am I yeah seeking stimulation. Yeah, ah yeah, so ah. 22:52.75 Dr_ Placebo It's like pulling the e break pulling the emergency break at a hundred. 23:02.38 mikebledsoe Yeah I really reflected on that and then I I noticed that I need to remove some things from my schedule. There's there's just too many commitments in the future So started moving some things around and some things that I previously. 23:05.65 Dr_ Placebo O. 23:19.62 mikebledsoe Couldn't didn't even consider could be removed or moved and I was able to do that. Um, yeah, actually my summit um I'm gonna move the dates of the summit supposed to happen. 23:24.57 Dr_ Placebo Really anything. You'd like to share that's pretty cool. 23:36.68 mikebledsoe Was supposed to happen next month. But I'm gonna move it to November and you know that's a lot. You know there's people who are looking forward to those specific dates. But I I feel as though it's it's if I wait any longer to make the the announcement but you know it would be a little. Too late for a lot of people. But I think we can do it a month out and be okay. Ah really really got to reflect on how I'm the ah I am the ah result of my ancestors choices. You know whether. 23:58.74 Dr_ Placebo Yeah. 24:14.87 mikebledsoe They be wise choices or or foolish choices every single choice since the beginning of of my lineage has really created this result that I'm right now and I'm I'm the 1 choosing moving forward, but really, um. 24:17.14 Dr_ Placebo Oh. 24:33.16 mikebledsoe Recognizing that a lot of things that got me to where I am was actually foolish choices I think a lot of times people think about their ancestry. You're like oh there's so much wisdom there I was like there's a bunch of idiots in there too and and what what? what am I What am I making sure. Ah. 24:50.68 Dr_ Placebo Um, just ah, just a long line of Horny retards. Um. 24:53.96 mikebledsoe Yeah, was like is like okay like I need to be intentional about what I'm carrying forward because not everything. Not everything is Good. You know and how am I am I carrying those those lessons and how do I Harvest The wisdom From. My lineage without carrying on all the the the Foolishness. Ah. 25:20.54 Dr_ Placebo Man Ah, you're talking about ah many many multiple generations but even just the immediate ancestors the parents That's ah that's a really big deal is ah you know I worked with so many people coaching wise and you know I don't want to. 25:30.19 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 25:38.43 Dr_ Placebo Be, the guy who's laying everybody down on the psychiatrist couch right? but the reality the reality is that a lot of people are working through some sort of ah resentment or ah. Kind of the opposite like a personal resentment because you can't live up to your parents' expectations. It's like 1 or the other right either resent your parents for doing a bad job or you feel bad about yourself for not doing a good enough job. Ah, a lot of the time and. 25:58.19 mikebledsoe Yeah, so. 26:05.41 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, yeah. 26:10.77 Dr_ Placebo Ah, working through those things but not ah, not judging because whether it's yourself or your ancestors whatever which you can think of them all as the same thing in a certain sense. Um, you know everybody's doing whatever they think is going to get them what they want. Based on how they think and feel all the time like everybody's always doing their best and I remember the first time someone told me that I was dating this lady who is ah pretty significantly older than me and she said everyone's doing their best and I said no, they're not I was like 20 years old 26:48.11 mikebledsoe Ah, well here's the thing is like I think I think where it gets I think where people get confused about that is like ah everyone is doing their best. But I think there a lot of times people who say that assume that we're all going the same direction is like. 27:05.19 Dr_ Placebo Yeah, it's based on how you think and feel at the time is my little caveat based on how you think and feel at the time. Everybody's always doing their best and you know I've talked about it So many times if you're um, getting what they want either love power or attention love power or attention. 27:05.45 mikebledsoe Like yeah. 27:13.50 mikebledsoe But they're best at what getting what they want? Yeah so not not not for the greater. They're not doing the best they can do for the great Great greater humanity. 27:22.42 Dr_ Placebo And if you can't get 1 you'll move on to the next one no no and and actually no one is the only reason people do that is because it feels good to them right? The same reason that a guy sacrifices all his worldly possessions to join a monastery is because he thinks that's a good deal. It's not because he's like a. 27:34.30 mikebledsoe Right. 27:42.70 mikebledsoe Yeah. 27:45.45 Dr_ Placebo Like a noble person. He just thinks that'll get him a better result. 27:50.80 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, ah all right? So so another another phase of the hunt. We actually had a ah guide take us to some old ruins that were incredibly old I have no idea I probably wasn't paying attention to that part. 27:53.49 Dr_ Placebo Ah, on. 28:08.72 mikebledsoe Um, one of those things you're like ah we suspect this is five hundred or a thousand years old I I don't know so ah, we went to a site where it was ah there's ah, a lot of evidence and a lot of stories to support the idea that there were human sacrifices happening. At this very specific site. So ah. 28:29.60 Dr_ Placebo You got my attention human sacrifice that was the topic I didn't know I wanted to talk about but now that we're here I'm so glad can we do a whole episode on human sacrifice. That's that's such an incredible idea. That's such an incredible idea. 28:43.82 mikebledsoe Yeah I think we should do that next week. Yeah, next week well what's interesting is ah ah one of the things I started exploring ah while I was there after this is I've um. So I used to conflate or have the collapse distinction of service and sacrifice and I think a lot of people who come from a blue collar background do and so I've spent like 8 years you know I had that realization and started unwinding that. 29:05.86 Dr_ Placebo Oh yeah. 29:19.69 mikebledsoe And I spent 8 years only trying to be at service but but completely ignoring any possibilities of sacrifice and so I um, so I really did think about it really did cause me to think about sacrifice like ah the final hunt I ah hunted. Ah, multiple times while we were there and the final one was like really the intention was was around the sacrifice piece and I think it was really set up by that whole human sacrifice thing because they talked about how the the people who were being sacrificed. 29:49.94 Dr_ Placebo Oh. 29:56.70 mikebledsoe Actually saw as an honor to be able to to be sacrificed who knows but um, so we we? yeah I mean that. 30:04.17 Dr_ Placebo Right? And and everybody everybody's convinced that it's going to be better to do this that That's the whole idea right? We were just talking about that they're doing it why because they think it'll get them a better result than not doing it. 30:12.37 mikebledsoe Totally totally. 30:21.17 mikebledsoe 72 version versions. Ah but the so we sat at the site and journaled about ah death. So as as we're sitting at the site of human sacrifice talk about death. Um. 30:23.32 Dr_ Placebo A man. 30:38.49 mikebledsoe Fast forwarding to my own death and ah where I got was you know spending some time thinking about how much you know will I resist death when it arrives at my doorstep or will I will I welcome it and I think that. 30:56.90 Dr_ Placebo That's a tough one I hope I I hope I would but I'll probably be like a 80 year old guy and the angel of death will come by and I'll be like oh please no take my grandson instead. 30:58.00 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 31:11.94 Dr_ Placebo I'll just be really cowardly at the end of it all have this like super wise life and then finally face it like anyone but me. 31:12.63 mikebledsoe A. 31:19.97 mikebledsoe Ah, well like an asshole. Ah yeah I think there's an opportunity now I think I I know there's an opportunity to practice dying and practicing death and I think that's something that. I have experienced through through the use of psychedelics. Ah you know you take a big. 31:37.19 Dr_ Placebo I Got a lot out of the digital death that I did that was really interesting. Yeah I I just evaporated one day like my friends were all getting messages from people like where's max is he's dead is he okay and it it was It was cool. 31:44.20 mikebledsoe Digital oh that not going on Instagram. 31:57.17 Dr_ Placebo Ah, because I was like really attached to um that feedback you know the the audience is like hey we we love you when you do that stuff and so in order to let go of that it it is like a little a little death. 32:06.68 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 32:15.27 Dr_ Placebo Basically who yeah, that's it. That's you dude that was you. 32:15.95 mikebledsoe Oh yeah, I mean that happened when I left shrug. You know people people were like you know? Yeah I was like they were um yeah they I did not meet their expectations. Created all these expectations over years that I was going to be there every week and I was going to make them laugh and maybe they learn learn something and then I just stopped and people didn't like that. Um, yeah, so practicing death. Um. 32:50.50 mikebledsoe And and then what I what I got to is like will I have regrets and what what just came to me the quote came to me in a moment. Are you put on Twitter so it's it's famous. But I said excuses are the seeds of regret and I was thinking about regret. And that's that's what may I see regret as a thing that would cause someone to resist death like oh I'm not done yet I didn't do the thing that I really wanted to do and I think that really is the difference between somebody who's eighty years old and is able to go in peace. And someone who's eighty years old and and dies with suffering and it what hit me was like anything that is an excuse that's that's what I need to be looking for you. Don't want to think am I going to regret this what you want to be thinking is. 33:43.20 Dr_ Placebo Ah. 33:48.25 mikebledsoe Am I making an excuse about doing this or why am I am I telling myself reasons why this won't work even though it's something I really want to do and I mean knowing the differences between any excuse and a real reason. Ah. 33:52.11 Dr_ Placebo His father. 34:06.68 mikebledsoe Can be challenging at times. But I think that's something that each individual gets to learn in themselves and and these two things feel different an excuse feels different than you know, using your reason to to make your moves. 34:22.89 Dr_ Placebo There's ah I think the difference between excuse and reason is really hard to pinpoint. Actually I think Excuse has a bit of a negative I mean everything. 34:30.40 mikebledsoe Why I tell people to be unreasonable throw throw the reasons out the window like be rational, be rational rationalable be rational, but but don't be reasonable. 34:39.89 Dr_ Placebo I like it. It's able to be rationed I like rationable that could be fun rational. Ah like okay so. 34:44.17 mikebledsoe Yeah, alright Hashtag rationable. It's a thing. 34:54.15 Dr_ Placebo Responsibility is ability to respond. It's also a synonym for obligation right? and I think I think that's often how it's used like you list out you list out the responsibilities. Well you list out resp responses like okay, you've had people work for you right. 34:58.36 mikebledsoe But I don't think I don't think it is a cinnament for that and I why think I think most people will perceive it that way. 35:13.42 Dr_ Placebo And you list out what their responsibilities are like. For example, every day obligations. No okay you fucking whore Obligations accountabilities. 35:13.61 mikebledsoe Yeah I call them accountabilities not responsibilities accountabilities. Ah. 35:30.50 mikebledsoe Ah. 35:31.48 Dr_ Placebo Whatever you want to call it. It's a thing that you got to do and basically in that situation. What happens if it doesn't get done and that's that's when ah, a reason to me is is always an excuse right? because what you're trying to do is you are trying to excuse. Use yourself from the obligation. Ah so to me, it's very different and like you know you've had a lot of people work for you and it's you can always come up with a reason for why you didn't do the thing you said you were going to do right? But it's still. 35:54.70 mikebledsoe Um, ah. 36:09.52 Dr_ Placebo It's just trying to excuse that accountability right. 36:10.99 mikebledsoe Yeah I would say their culture that we we've cultivated with people who work for me. It's been a very like yeah I fucked up and I don't I don't get a lot of excuses from my people which is really refreshing just to. 36:19.19 Dr_ Placebo Um, yeah, right? yeah. 36:30.80 mikebledsoe Have people own it. Okay I think the problem with making excuses is you're doomed to repeat the you don't you don't feel the gravity. You don't feel the pain of of the impact that you made by by screwing up. 36:47.35 Dr_ Placebo Totally the error. 36:49.43 mikebledsoe Like the if you make an excuse for your yeah if you make an excuse for your error. You're sidestepping a lesson. But if you say look I simply screwed up I dropped the ball I'm now making a commitment to ah you know. I'm I'm making these specific changes in order to ah do it differently moving forward. Awesome! That's what I want to hear. That's why I want to hear from others. That's what I want to hear from myself. That's that's an attitude of of learning that's humility. 37:17.41 Dr_ Placebo Totally no, It's curiosity too right? It's like what can be done differently and it frames it in a in a positive sense so you know right. 37:24.30 mikebledsoe And. 37:29.39 mikebledsoe We're moving forward instead of dwelling on the past we like we acknowledge that this happened but now let's move forward. 37:35.40 Dr_ Placebo Well and that's kind of like the it goes back to the sacrifice or the martyr thing right? you you almost feel like you need to punish yourself a little bit and say how bad you were but it doesn't really do anybody and especially if you're like managing people you you kind of just want to be like man that's like wholly irrelevant. Really doesn't Matter. It's really just about what you can do moving forward differently that will make it so this does not happen in the future right. 37:56.50 mikebledsoe I Think ah. 38:01.89 mikebledsoe Yeah I think I think the pain that we inflict on ourselves through the guilt can can help make the lesson stick like oh I don't want to feel like that again. So. 38:13.70 Dr_ Placebo Well, totally man, you know shame can drive a culture in a big way. Um, and I know I've said it on the podcast before but 1 of the cultures that I find really interesting and awesome in a lot of ways is Japan where there's a really strong culture. Of honoring tradition and shame. Also, you know there's a lot less homeless people there because it's kind of a shameful thing and there's also a lot less ah broad creativity of brand new stuff. But ah surplus. Of refining old stuff. You know so they might not invent a rocket ship but when someone else does they'll make that rocket ship better than anything else because they'll have you know 10 generations of rocket scientists running the family business and trying to just. Make those marginal improvements. So I think you know shame can be a great motivator ah certainly I gravitate toward love being a motivator right so joyful expression of this ah weird. Black box algorithm that I am you know take what I got and and let it out there like you know, let it go basically um, kind of like we were talking about um service minus attachment. Basically so you do your thing but you're not. 39:42.47 mikebledsoe I. 39:46.70 Dr_ Placebo Super attached to the result or or yourself as the procurer of that service. 39:53.71 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, all right moving on moving on in this journal see so I was asked for. We went on a a silent hike for a couple hours and ah. 39:57.90 Dr_ Placebo Ah. 40:11.68 mikebledsoe We're We're asked the question, the prompt to consider while we walk and then you know Journal when we get back and before we get out the door I started making a list of ways in which I don't show up as my highest self um or you just sit look as how do you show up in a. 40:25.60 Dr_ Placebo Oh. 40:31.21 mikebledsoe And the ways that you don't prefer or you you end up regretting I guess so these are these are the ways in which I am not showing up as my highest self when I am looking for acceptance by others when I seek stimulation over solitude. That's where I got that. 40:47.62 Dr_ Placebo Another more. 40:48.29 mikebledsoe Ah, when I fail to communicate my boundaries Well when I lack a hierarchy of values. Ah, and when I'm concerned with not looking bad. 41:01.96 Dr_ Placebo Yeah, those are good. Um, what was the prompt again. It was just go on this quiet hike and then Journal at the end. 41:08.92 mikebledsoe Not yeah that well we were to consider this question in which way am I not showing up as my highest self and then 2 hour yeah Yeah 41:18.94 Dr_ Placebo Okay, so now they provided that yeah that was actually the the thing I thought ah before when you're talking about what decisions will I regret. That's like the same. That's the positive way to say that. What? what would your highest self do here like and how how big a gap is there. Can you repeat that question one more time I'm going to write it I'm going to have ah my friends around here do that with me sometime same seems like a cool idea. 41:36.30 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, yeah. 41:47.73 mikebledsoe Cool, um in which way am I not showing up as my highest self. 41:51.94 Dr_ Placebo Yeah. 41:56.20 mikebledsoe Everyone out everyone at home gets to and get a couple chances write it down themselves all right? Everyone you got a homework expect you to fill this out I mean 2 3 hours I like that. 42:05.74 Dr_ Placebo How how long was the silent hike. That's pretty nice. 42:15.90 mikebledsoe You know what I found when I first got out there is like um actually felt overstimated coming in. Ah and I met several of the guys for the first time and everybody was wanting to talk and I was There was a part of me that was going man I really just wish this was a silent retreat I would like. 42:42.23 Dr_ Placebo Ah, oh man, that's so funny to hear from you did. 42:47.20 mikebledsoe Ah, yeah, yeah, so I'm I'm actually going to suggest a monzol about ah putting together. A I would love to do like a group hunting trip where the first 2 of three days is in complete silence. Only. Like a noble silence. You know I could ask you to like help me with something or or could you get the fuck out of the way or whatever it is or you know you you can you can state what you need in the moment but I don't yeah yeah. 43:10.25 Dr_ Placebo But right. 43:15.72 Dr_ Placebo Could wear a little wear a little chalkboards. 43:23.90 mikebledsoe But ah, yeah, minimize the just the bullshitting interactions and yeah I would love to do like a two day and I would love to do as strangers I would love to go hunting with people I've never met before spend the first two days silent and then the third day because then I I think it would be really fun to. Because what your mind's gonna do is create all these stories about who this person is you know why? they do the thing they do, you're gonna create all of it and then you're gonna talk to them on a third day and they're gonna break all of it and you're gonna go oh my imagination is nuts. 43:46.16 Dr_ Placebo Right? one? ah. 43:58.76 Dr_ Placebo Totally well and as it relates to the dog thing. You know they don't speak English Um, they they pick up on your emotions and your postures and I know I've said it before even on the show but I remember you. 44:06.20 mikebledsoe You don't say. 44:15.95 Dr_ Placebo Said to me like dude maybe ten years ago or something like don't don't listen to the words people are saying just watch how they're being and so I started doing this thing where I mean I was tuning out like I wasn't listening to the words I was a really bad listener but I was just watching people's postures their hand movements. 44:21.48 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah. 44:35.80 Dr_ Placebo And it it was like the it was like the teacher and Charlie Brown it was like wah walk walk walk walk walk walk walk and I was just listening to the musicality of the voice and all these different things and I would imagine if you are meeting people for the first time and you can't. Introduce yourself like that is such a trip because now you're going to be reverting to these primal instincts of like sizing people up, you're going to pay really close attention to people's eyes and I bet most people have never even ah. Come close to a situation like that I don't think I've ever been part of a group where we didn't introduce ourselves for two days like that's almost psychotic actually when you think about it. Everybody's got like guns and no one saying anything and they've never met before. I mean I don't want you to like give up on this dream but it is a sweet recipe for fucking disaster. 45:35.28 mikebledsoe You know I'll try it out with guys I know first? Well we'll baby step our way into this find a few guys that are willing to do a silent hunting retreat and we'll go from there all like let's dig in this puppy journal. 45:49.53 Dr_ Placebo Um, awesome dude I like the silent hike I like the silent hike thing. That's a cool idea. Well. 45:57.89 mikebledsoe I did a whole day I took 2 guys up to I was up in Idaho and was in the sawtooth mountains and we did like ah man it was like a 12 hour maybe maybe thirteen fourteen hours 46:12.50 Dr_ Placebo Was that a cattle drive or something. Wow. 46:13.86 mikebledsoe Ah, not not just hiking up. The mountain started started at the bottom wearing shorts and it was hot and got up to the snow and basically just popped a little microdose and went fasted So all I brought was water. 46:24.60 Dr_ Placebo Um, how cool. 46:30.75 Dr_ Placebo Sweet. 46:33.13 mikebledsoe And and we did a silent up and I and I ah I was in charge of the hike there was 3 of us I was like we can talk on the way down and and I I started hoofing. Yeah and we started hoofing it down and these guys were just hilarious. 46:44.45 Dr_ Placebo Ah I like I like that a lot too that. 46:52.13 mikebledsoe Just talking about candy bars like because we were fasted. They weren't used to any of this stuff. So the idea of like hiking silent fast. It was incredibly novel to them. So yeah. 47:05.80 Dr_ Placebo It's crazy how much extra calories you're packing on you Even if you're a lean person check out, check out the math sometime like for those who are every you got to fast, you got to try it Out. It's so it's Stupid. You just you just shut up. And you don't eat for a while and it will heal you more than like 99% of the bullshit out there. But. 47:25.66 mikebledsoe It is. It is the dude you just give your system a break. All you got to do is give your system a break and it'll fix itself for for most things. 47:37.20 Dr_ Placebo Matt Imagine if you just ah had headphones playing music all the time. That's like the equivalent of digesting food all the time and it's it's just a different sense right. 47:53.18 mikebledsoe Yeah, 4 47:54.61 Dr_ Placebo You don't give yourself a chance. Um, but some people are afraid they're like oh what'll happen am I going to like break down too much muscle or something like that like that like it'll happen in a fucking week I mean some some sure whatever but like a lean person has like one hundred thousand calories 48:05.22 mikebledsoe It's all guy. Yeah dudes are well, there's um, sal. 48:14.41 mikebledsoe Yeah. 48:14.74 Dr_ Placebo Storage on them like ah, a lean, a lean man of average size has like a hundred thousand extra calories conveniently distributed mostly in the center mass of their body. It's it's really good design like we would all be dead if it didn't work this way. 48:33.34 mikebledsoe Yeah, yeah, it's there for sure. There sal sell from over at mine pump. Um, if you're familiar with the mine pump guys but they do like um, kind of like. 48:36.24 Dr_ Placebo Ah. 48:44.74 Dr_ Placebo Do they like take ah do they like take pre-workouts and play chess or something. 48:49.55 mikebledsoe Yeah, well, they're like ah I would I would they're the closest thing the barbell shrugged but more for like the the aesthetic world whereas we were more in like the performance and they're They're really great guys I've been on their show a couple times they've been on mine. They're fun. 48:56.33 Dr_ Placebo All. 49:05.75 mikebledsoe And 1 of the guys on there I know for a period of time was doing a 72 hour fast once a month for the purpose of building more muscle so there's just like you want to train really hard if you want to grow muscle if you actually starve yourself a protein. There's a super compensation that occurs. So. 49:09.84 Dr_ Placebo Oh. 49:24.78 Dr_ Placebo It's like occlusion training you cut off the flow and then you release it and the floodgates open same deal. 49:25.55 mikebledsoe It's yeah. Yeah, so I I think that for anyone who is concerned about that because I was actually you know for a lot of the hunts that I do we we fast coming in and one of my friends young younger guy. He was like yeah but you know I was just like worry about losing muscle I'm like you know. Ah, 72 hour fast done right? and when you reintroduce food you could actually put more muscle on because of that just watched all the all the gears in his head had to change direction and and ah yeah, but it's true. 50:02.81 Dr_ Placebo Plus like what if you did lose a little bit of muscle. You think no one's going to love you after that Jesus Fucking Christ like. 50:13.29 mikebledsoe Oh obviously? yeah, well its problem is like I mean you've experienced this is you get praise. It's like oh man, you got a 6 pack. Oh man like get all this praise like well that's must be why people like me. 50:14.84 Dr_ Placebo I Mean they won't love you as much. Obviously now you're fucking Scrawny bitch who's going to love you now. 50:27.16 Dr_ Placebo I. Totally totally I mean I feel like I've said this so many times but I would lift a really big weight over my head. Let's say and people would be like hey Wow Max We Really like that. 50:33.21 mikebledsoe And then you take that away like oh no, one's gonna love me now. 50:47.85 Dr_ Placebo Can you lift a bigger one be like fuck. Yeah, are you going to love me more if I do and they're like yeah I'm like great I'll do that. 50:53.75 mikebledsoe I mean it's super simple if I put that I think about a year ago I put ah ah a Instagram throwback video of me squatting like I don't know what it was like four 25 for reps or something like that the bars bouncing and shit. 51:04.75 Dr_ Placebo Yeah, yeah. 51:10.32 mikebledsoe And I got like almost a record breaking amount of likes on that you know and I basically like I basically said in the the what's it called the caption I said in the caption of like yeah this was like peak me hating myself. Ah and like. 51:12.43 Dr_ Placebo Oh yeah. 51:25.57 Dr_ Placebo Totally. 51:29.21 mikebledsoe This is all the things I've done a change and all that you know what ended up in some of the comments people actually read the caption but a lot of comments are like yeah man that's big weight I'm like you like let the fuck is going on. Love me. Um. 51:38.64 Dr_ Placebo Good job and you're like they love me. They really love Me. You know it reminds me of why Envy is such a bummer ah number one. It's the only of the deadly Sins. You can't have any fun at ah which I've always thought was really cool and the no no lust is great. Gluttony. 51:58.61 mikebledsoe Ah, interesting. Yeah, there's not really a payoff for it right? like people use it people use it for motivation. Yeah. 52:08.13 Dr_ Placebo Lust gluttony sloth I mean that's that's like a great day as far as what I'm concerned but but like ah yeah, ah today is gluttony day. Ah but like envy day is is the worst and here's why it's extra bad though. 52:13.20 mikebledsoe I Set aside days for that. Yeah yeah. 52:26.60 Dr_ Placebo So it's funny because it's not that fun but also with envy we're only envying like 1 little bit a fraction of someone's life where we're not envious of the whole thing. Because if we were we would do that same shit ourselves like nobody can see in that video all of the sacrifices you were making and even at the time. Ah maybe you were self-aware enough to be like hey you know I I did this. 52:47.35 mikebledsoe Yeah. 53:03.40 Dr_ Placebo But you you guys probably don't want this in fact, ah you know like my I don't know if this is true. But for me it It was a lot of the time like my body hurts a lot. Um dude like that's probably the. 53:12.00 mikebledsoe I was in so much pain. So I had to smoke during that period of time I was smoking weed every night to fall asleep I remember getting in bed and just like my body was hot. My my shoulders were throbbing like like things were throbbing. 53:20.27 Dr_ Placebo Yeah. 53:26.58 Dr_ Placebo Yeah. 53:30.88 mikebledsoe And I'd be lay in bed and then my my ex wifefe would be next to me and she could just feel me she' like babe go smoke some weed you need to go to sleep so just turn into a nightly I smoked weed every night for for years. 53:35.21 Dr_ Placebo E. 53:46.13 Dr_ Placebo Yeah, totally I mean that's a good option as far as options go but that's what I mean about the the cherry pick Envy is like we're we're envious cherry pickers. We're like oh man look at that guy's house I'm like yeah that guy. 53:47.91 mikebledsoe Just for pain relief. 53:56.49 mikebledsoe Yeah. 54:04.81 Dr_ Placebo Went to medical school. He worked 60 hour weeks and then he worked 80 hour weeks and now he finally has this big house and and and you're only going to be envy it like it's it's insane right? It's the same thing with us lifting these heavy weights we're like wow I wish I could do that I'm like no, you don't. 54:15.22 mikebledsoe Right. 54:21.36 mikebledsoe Yeah. 54:24.21 Dr_ Placebo A no, you don't because otherwise you'd be doing it and B you don't understand the sacrifices that are being made here. You know it's ah it's hardly fair. But what's funny about that too is ah that's also what inflames people's desires the most like. 54:30.27 mikebledsoe Yeah. 54:43.12 Dr_ Placebo I I was honest, um, like I I was saying like hey man I I train a lot I do ah olympic weightlifting then I do gymnastics then I do a crossfit workout at the end then I go to Jujitsu and then in the evenings I do moyai for 2 hours training six days a week I'm running a business I'm a 23 year old absolute maniac investing all of my time into it and I'm like here's this workout and people are like yeah I want that too but they don't really is my point they just want like. 55:16.38 mikebledsoe Now. 55:20.43 Dr_ Placebo Like that Mark Twain quote a classic is something that everybody wants to have read but nobody wants to read. He's got some good ones? Yeah, all right. 55:31.21 mikebledsoe Accurate. Ah I think he was ah somebody somebody called him the cause I was describing Mark Twain as someone who had never really knew much about him or read about him and and as I as I was describing. 55:39.76 Dr_ Placebo And pretty sardonic guy. 55:47.70 mikebledsoe They go. Oh he's probably the Joe Rogan of of that time I go you know what? I think you're probably right like that because he was he was funny. He he was he was doing a lot of writing and I yeah was kind of like comedy of that of that era I mean and and. 55:56.21 Dr_ Placebo Yeah. 56:01.53 Dr_ Placebo Um, he was a humorist that's actually the biggest humor award. We have is the Mark Twain ah prize right? There are some good ah acceptance. There are some good acceptance speeches. 56:07.53 mikebledsoe Oh I didn't even know that I learned something new about Mark Twain today the more I learned about that guy the more of a fan I become just wild. 56:20.39 Dr_ Placebo Ah, because it's it's you know some people who are just absolute um juggernauts comedy-wise but the Mark Twain prize is like a lifetime achievement award for comedy. So you know chappee has 1 Eddie Murphy David Letterman these guys like. 56:30.67 mikebledsoe Now. 56:38.20 Dr_ Placebo Really? ah, really skilled at the craft of humor and what I say is humor drops the guard like Lindsay has noticed that there's basically no conversation I have with someone where I don't a try really hard to make them laugh and b. Actually make them laugh because I don't I don't want things to be serious like that's the last type of situation I want I want to have things be be lighthearted and and humor is a good way to do that. 57:07.74 mikebledsoe We go it. Loosens people up, you have you use humor it loosens up the mind people get up catch people off guard willing to entertain new ideas and this is why comedy is such an important thing in society and before you we had the modern comedians you have. 57:17.42 Dr_ Placebo Right. 57:27.46 mikebledsoe Want to go back far enough. You got the court Jester and I think a lot of times people think about the court jester as just some fool who knows some you know can juggle and shit. But in ah some traditions you know it's told that. The jester was there to keep the king in check the gesture was the only one that could make fun of the king right? and so it was like yeah and. 57:47.30 Dr_ Placebo Right? Compartmentalized you can make fun of me and you're going to do it in a way that I feel okay about it. But but when you're when you're Queen or something is like you you drink too much. 57:56.63 mikebledsoe Yeah. 58:03.62 Dr_ Placebo Or whatever he's like fuck you queen I'm the king god damn it. But when the jester is like hey Mr. King guy can I fill up your wine flask again. Oh it's already empty. What does a pre you know Dadada whatever. 58:17.26 mikebledsoe Ah, yeah, yeah, you want to break out the puppy journal. 58:22.30 Dr_ Placebo Oh yeah, um I think the the main thing is ah compartmentalizing on on every level like literally you put them into a compartment you have nap time. Compartmentalized you have playtime compartmentalized. You have mealtime compartmentalized like the more you compartmentalize the lives of those puppies the easier it is like they know when we're outside. It's outside time like we've had them two weeks now and we're batting like I would say 98% ah of potties outside in the same place and I feel like that's really good. We've had almost no issues. No accidents inside the house which I'm real pleased about and when it's nap time. They go into the pen and when it's food time they come out and they get their food and then we pick the stuff up and wash it out because otherwise it's going to be crawling with ants. So everything gets compartmentalized. Um shoes can't live on the floor anymore. So that has to be in a compartment has to be out of reach so it's it's forcing me to get way tighter with my organization. So I think that's a positive I mean look once again like you could look at my story from the outside in and think. 59:57.91 Dr_ Placebo I'm a certain way but it's just been like a disorganized mess of an insane guy who just happened to be very ambitious and motivated right? So it doesn't just because it like worked doesn't mean I did it well like I didn't you know what? I mean. 01:00:16.59 mikebledsoe Ah, that that resonates like so so like how did you do it I'm like don't do it the way I did it. 01:00:16.88 Dr_ Placebo It's ah yeah, totally men. Yeah, right? But what's funny is ah like instinctually they they want to do it that way because it's a proven model and you're like no dude do do anything but the way that I did it. 01:00:30.17 mikebledsoe Right. 01:00:35.71 Dr_ Placebo Do absolutely anything but that but anyway ah compartmentalizing is huge I already mentioned ah demonstration is greater than explanation I think that equation pretty much rings true for just about everything. 01:00:55.28 Dr_ Placebo Um, it really reminds you? What's important like the live like we had to take the puppies. Ah 1 of them into the vet once already to the emergency room and and it's a very binary type of thing. Yeah puppy was really. Lethargic ah pissed herself is very scary I was surprised how much I loved these little fuckers already. Ah and it was like Okay, we either relax, chill out and ah, don't worry about it or we take her to the emergency room right now. Because living in limbo of like ooh. It's kind of scary. It's kind of bad is it's almost like ah an almost emergency is the worst fucking thing ever. It's like buying fire insurance. But then worrying every day that your house will burn down and I feel like that's how a lot of people. 01:01:47.69 mikebledsoe Um, yeah. 01:01:52.71 Dr_ Placebo Live their lives. Um, you know insurance is another thing we could talk about another time but that's not really related to. We did get puppy insurance which is a fucking scam and a half. Ah oh yeah I mean you know it's. 01:02:07.88 mikebledsoe I've never heard of that before. 01:02:11.48 Dr_ Placebo Just like anything else. It's ah basically a probability and a fee schedule. Whatever and so if you're going to buy puppy Insurance. You probably would also be well- served to buy some extra puppy food so you have like insurance against like a shortage in puppy food supply Anyway, whatever. Not not more insurance. Ah yeah, yeah, that's actually what it is. Yeah, Ah, it's well because I looked at the fee schedule basically and I looked at like what the payment is versus what they will pay. 01:02:31.27 mikebledsoe Is like Health insurance for puppies her Why you say it's a you say it's a scam. 01:02:48.97 mikebledsoe Right? And like dental insurance. 01:02:50.53 Dr_ Placebo For each ailment. It doesn't seem like a very good deal basically to me.

That's what high performance is to me, the ability to adapt rapidly so you can achieve your potential. There are five key pillars to creating the conditions for adaptability: sleep, exercise, mental resilience, nutrition, and community/relationships.” - Dr. Erik Korem   “I maybe have a different concept on leadership. To me, leading is a verb. If you're leading, you're a leader. If you're swimming you're a swimmer, if you're driving you're a driver. If you're leading you're by definition a leader. I define leading as being looked to in a particular moment to make a decision or perform an action based on your unique gifts and abilities. So by that definition, everybody is a leader. All rank and role really describe is how many people are hoping you get it right when it's your turn to wear the weight.” - Clint Bruce "Attention is the currency of performance." - Dr. Peter Haberl “That's what I've discovered in the lives of brilliant, prolific, healthy creatives, is that they have networks of people they leverage in the course of their work. That they learn from, that they were challenged by, that they gave great insight and purview into their own life and work, in such a way that they were able to receive feedback that helped them get better at what they do.” - Todd Henry "Restful and fulfilling sleep enables you to grow, adapt, and thrive. It creates the conditions for adaptation, so you can pursue audacious goals and thrive in uncertainty." - Dr. Erik Korem "Most exercise programs fail, not because the reps and sets are poorly designed, but because the program doesn't adjust for how much stress your body can adapt to that day!. That's why Dr. Chris Morris' research and practical application of fluid periodization is the key for unlocking your performance potential." - Dr. Erik Korem See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To start this one, here's a little context on the community in Thyatira. It was a blue-collar manufacturing city. Lots of trades and trade associations. These associations were tied to the worship and temple practices of other religions. If you wanted a license for your business you would have to join one of these trade associations. That would have been difficult for these early Jesus followers. Apparently there was a woman - or group of people - who knew the answer. Jesus refers to this woman or group of people as Jezebel. I'll get into the OT story of who Jezebel was and how she got the Israelites to worship both the LORD and Baal. Essentially - we think - these people were teaching that you could be a Jesus follower and also participate in these temple practices and the worship of other gods. Sort of like the Nicolatians. So, there was this idea of a spirit of compromise. This tends to do 2 things to us. We compartmentalize our lives. We're one person when we're around religious people and someone else at home and someone else at work and so on. Jesus is the one with feet like burnished bronze - Jesus is at the center of our lives. It also leads us to simply make decisions based on what we want instead of what we value the most. Jesus is the one with eyes that blaze like fire seeing through all of our compromises. He's constantly inviting us to make this world what God wants it to be - full of grace and truth and beauty and creativity and generosity.

Thank you Newsstand Studio at 1 Rockefeller Plaza for providing a place for me to record this episode for y'all! No more Brooklyn closet recording!!!   You may have heard on Instagram that The Refined Collective reached 1 million downloads! This is a huge milestone and I want to CELEBRATE that with you! We have over 150 episodes from the last 3.5 years and I spent some time digging through the archives to find the most downloaded episodes ever to share with you over the next 10 weeks. If you're new to TRC, buckle up, because we have some incredible content coming your way. And if you've been here a while, hold tight, because a good refresh on this stuff never hurt! Also, while we're going through the archives, I'm going to spend some time dreaming up what's next for TRC! (And truthfully, I need a break from interviews for a bit!) But I didn't want to leave you hanging while I took a little break! So get excited, + welcome to TRC REMIX!   Are you ready to revisit (or visit for the first time) the most downloaded episode on TRC history? This is Part 1 of a conversation I had been avoiding having with you guys in a solo show because I was afraid of getting it wrong or someone taking a sound bite out of context. This is a nuanced conversation with a lot of grey areas, but I didn't want fear to keep me from this dialogue. So I dove into the topic and the response was overwhelming in the best way. Now let's dive back in!   Here's what I won't do: Tell you what to do. Give you a script to regurgitate to yourself and others to justify any of your actions. Shame or judge you for your past or your current decisions. Try to fix you or convince you of anything.   What I hope to do: Point you to Jesus, Scripture, and nuance. Normalize a healthy conversation around sex, sexuality, desire, and yes— masturbation The word alone can feel shame inducing, right? How many times do you say ‘masturbation' out loud on a regular basis? God is not ashamed of our sexual desire and sexuality—he created it (Genesis 1: 26-31). Give you tools to equip you to navigate your faith, values, and a dialogue around masturbation. Don't take my word for it—I'm not God. This is where I am at after close to 7 years of researching, praying, doubting, trial and error, and tough conversations. God created you with a mind—use it! Finally, it's ok if we don't see eye to eye—we can still love, respect, and honor one another even if we come to different conclusions.   My Personal Story:  Before we move forward with vision and walk out today with clarity, we have to be willing to look backwards: how, why, and through what means did we get here? Home: ‘It's okay to masturbate.' School: Silence. Friends: Silence, masked conversations, and shame. Culture: ‘Do what feels good.' Church: All wrong, all the time, shut down your desire until marriage—only guys struggle with sexual desire.    4 Questions to Ask Yourself What do you currently believe about masturbation and why? What were you taught about masturbation at home, school, from friends, culture, and church? Where and how were those beliefs formed? Are those sexual scripts/beliefs rooted in fear or freedom? Identify the shame agenda + the Jesus agenda.   The Big ‘O': The Power of the Orgasm When we orgasm, dopamine and oxytocin are released in a surge in our bodies. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter released from the reward center part of our brain associated with pleasure. Oxytocin is a feel-good hormone. One of its sole purposes is to create deep bonds between people. This is like “soul ties.”   The Harem Within: C.S. Lewis   “For me the real evil of masturbation would be that it takes an appetite which, in lawful use, leads the individual out of himself…and turns it back: sends the man back into the prison of himself, there to keep a harem of imaginary brides. And this harem, once admitted, works against his ever getting out and really uniting with a real woman. For the harem is always accessible, always subservient, calls for no sacrifices or adjustments, and can be endowed with erotic and psychological attractions which no real woman can rival. Among those shadowy brides he is always adored, always the perfect lover: no demand is made on his unselfishness, no mortification ever imposed on his vanity. In the end, they become merely the medium through which he increasingly adores himself . . . .After all, almost the main work of life is to come out of our selves, out of the little, dark prison we are all born in. Masturbation is to be avoided as all things are to be avoided which retard this process. The danger is that of coming to love the prison”[1]     My pleasure is #1 priority   Ephesians 5: Respect our husbands and husbands to serve their wives like Christ served the church. Our sexual experiences with our spouses should be outward focused, let's serve each other—not ‘I'm feeling turned on, get me off, and then roll over.'     Ends on self   Sexuality = desire for ‘o' others. Gets us outside of our heads and into relationship/community with others.     No iron sharpens iron here folks   Conflict resolution. Mirrors of each other. Constant growth. “Brides always adored” or “yes men.”     FANTASY LAND: Loving the prison more than real life   I don't want to get so good at getting myself off that I don't need another person. 91% of millennials masturbate (19 and 36 for SKYN's 2018 Millennial Sex Survey, and found that 91 percent of respondents masturbated.) 2015—Pornhub site: 60% of its users were millennials. Compartmentalized and scratching an itch that we don't need to/want to take the risk of being in a relationship and dating. Avoiding: heartbreak, awkwardness, conflict, rejection. Is this why so many of us in the church are single? We're getting just enough of our “itches” scratched that the risk of truly putting ourselves out there to be in a relationship is not worth it?    Don't worry, I won't leave you hanging. Process what we've just gone through today and get ready for Part 2 coming next Wednesday.

"Your life will tell you the truth." —Martha Beck, author of The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self Divided. Compartmentalized. Unable to give what is needed, not by choice, but by pure, sincere inability due to time and energy. Signs of living a life off the track of the way of integrity. Martha Beck explains in her new book, The Way of Integrity, the word integrity originates from the Latin integer meaning "in tact" and therefore cementing the definition of integrity as "to be one thing, whole and undivided". When we are not living a life of integrity, we are not being true to ourselves, nor the world. Now you might be thinking about the general and more commonly understood definition of integrity - living by your 'values' or abiding by the morals society applauds, but this is not what Beck writes about in her book. Instead, Beck looks at the true meaning of the word and applies it to each of us individually, daring to step away from any culture's expectations - a life of integrity is one when you have aligned your body, mind, heart and soul - your actions, your mental strength, your true self - you set yourself free. In the introduction she uses a phrase commonly known on this blog/podcast - you achieve a sustainable joie de vivre. "You may not believe that such a fulfilling life is possible. It is," Beck states with calm, assured confidence and goes on throughout the rest of the book, speaking from her own incredibly challenging and terrifying and finally liberating life journey, indeed what she shares is true. "No matter how far you think you've strayed from your true path, the moment you say I'm going to trust myself, I'm going to follow my truth, the healing begins." Beck's book crossed my path just after I had officially and publicly announced a resolve to live my own life of integrity as I had turned in my resignation papers concluding a 20-year career in teaching public education at the secondary level. I arrived at my decision after more than a few years of hemming and hawing about such a choice being necessary for me to live fully in alignment with what I knew to be true in my heart of hearts. And, as I shared in my May episode of the video series A Cuppa Moments (learn more about becoming a TOP Tier subscriber and discover more intimately why I made this decision here), it wasn't about running away; it was about running toward something I loved even more. Another way of looking at the way of integrity is much like putting together a puzzle. It can be especially hard to rationalize why we should leave something when on paper and to onlookers everything hums along beautifully, but if the puzzle doesn't allow your true nature to be nurtured, as Beck describes, when you are "rushing to conform . . . often ignoring or overruling [y]our genuine feelings—even intense one, like longing or anguish—to please your culture . . . you've divided yourself. [You] aren't in integrity (one thing) but in duplicity (two things)." In other words, the puzzle isn't your puzzle to be a part of. Having the courage to step away from something that works, even if we languish while others shine is not living a life of integrity. "When you pursue a career that pulls you away from your true self, your talent and enthusiasm will quit on you like a bored intern." The question we each need to ask ourselves is, “Does the culture nurture your nature?" Pause for a second before answering because I would have answered yes a couple of years ago as the quality of my overall life improved immensely having moved to Bend, Oregon. And what enabled me to move to this dream-of-a-town in my eyes? A teaching job; however, upon reflection, with more truths revealed, and after reading her book, my answer whilst trying to teach and write, is most certainly no. How do you know if you are out of your integrity? 1."Your life goes pear-shaped" Beck reveals how our inability to communicate civilly, snapping at people we love, letting ourselves be distracted regularly by rabbit holes on the internet, and on the health side - your "immune system and muscles becomes weaken . . . emotionally feeling grumpy, sad or numb." Focus and clarity — difficult to maintain, sickness is more frequent and energy is depleted. All of these 'symptons' are red flags your life is out of integrity. Let's end this point on some good news: "Integrity is the cure to unhappiness. Period." 2. Living a life governed by the 'should's and 'supposed to' expectations Living simply luxuriously, at its core is built upon questioning society, putting into practice critical thinking skills and thereby thinking well. When we think well, removing our biases and acknowledging the short-sightedness as well as true motivations of the culture we live in, we can think clearly and free ourselves from the pressures and guilt placed upon us to live a certain way. Even if 'your way' seems simple compared to significant societal differences such as announcing you are an atheist in a family full of devout believers of any one religious institutional faith, acknowledging your truth regarding your gender even if your family or friends cannot understand your truth, or standing up for a political issue which forces your family to confront their own long-held unconscious biases. Your way of integrity needs to be honored to set yourself free. Beck writes in detail about her own breaking free from the 'should's when she speaks about her stepping away from Mormonism (receiving death threats for doing so), sharing with the world and her husband that she is gay, and choosing to keep her child who she knew to have Downs Syndrome (even though at the time, people she respected urged her to not to). In great emotional, yet step-by-step detail, she shares how she made it to the other side and because each decision was her truth, her choice, she set herself free. She stopped living the life she was 'supposed to' and stepped courageously into a life of integrity. 3. Emotional Struggles "Whenever you lose your integrity, you'll feel your own unique brew of bad moods, depending on your personality . . . anxiety and depression [or] . . . free-floating hostility, itching to punch everyone in your office, familiy, zip code [or] . . . full-on panic attacks, especially during special occasions." For me, leaving teaching felt culturally 'wrong'. What I mean by that is, teaching and being a teacher is held in high regard, as, in my bias, yet as much as I can remain objective, it should be. So leaving a profession which society holds in deservedly high esteem felt to already be making the 'wrong' decision. However, as Beck calls them, my 'wild beasts' of bad moods would arise in the weirdest of times. I knew something was not in alignment, but nearly all of my acquaintances, friends and even my mother, were or are teachers. So how do you have a conversation with them about leaving a profession they are already in and most of whom sincerely love and have found their calling? In my case, you keep teaching. 4. Bad habits — can't break them The bad habits could be an onslaught of a variety of behaviors ranging from less harmful to incredibly life destructive, but anything which does not constructively add to your life and the quality of your days is a bad habit. Whether excessive financial expenditures, harmful drinking or eating habits, relationship failure after failure because you refuse to have the ability to either see or change what needs to be addressed, such habits stay with us because "when [you're] feeling fundamentally lost, afflicted by purposelessness, foul moods, and bad jobs, anything that stimulates the brain's pleasure centers can become an addiction." I can thankfully say, I had a positive outlet for my lack of finding complete fulfilling purpose in teaching: blogging, which turned into podcasting, which turned into cooking, which became my pleasure and purpose and I am incredibly grateful I honored my curiosity to explore what this 'blogging thing' was all about way back in 2009. I don't think we all have to have horrible habits so much so it becomes painfully obvious to outsiders we are not on the right life path for true integrity, but what I appreciate about Beck's book is bringing to our attention habits which if we are being honest with ourselves, aren't helpful to living a life we sincerely love living, but we keep engaging in said habit because we need the pleasure; we need something to 'feel' good because so much doesn't, and we don't know or don't have the courage yet to step off the path that isn't ours to walk. How to return or begin to live a life of integrity? 1.Stop lying "Here's the rub: if you stop lying, you'll eventually, inevitably violate the rules of a culture that matters to you." Stop lying when responding casually to the question, "How are you doing?" Be comfortable with expressing your exuberance or exhaustion about the day. The passive or a default way of living is not living, and it's not the way of integrity. How we connect with others, truly connect, is to be honest. I find that our culture is more comfortable with complaining even though America strives to be happy at all times. It is as though we must not be 'too happy' lest someone either question what makes us happy or want our happiness, when the truth is, there is not a limited supply. However, most Americans are too exhausted to figure out their own unique path to happiness. But the supposed secret as Beck reveals is simple: finding and living your integrity will lead you to peace, which will lead to the desired outcome of happiness. Again, this is a push-back on culture, not the people living within the culture. Admittedly, yes, a culture is made up by people, but when we recognize we are complicit in any culture which doesn't wish for its people to find peace and contentment, we must question it. Doing so is an exercise in critical thinking. And how we do that is by finding our own way of integrity and living it. 2. Knuckle down for the first step of changing your life - it will be hard Be prepared, the first step, the first shift you make will be the most difficult and will feel impossible on your way to fully being your true self. But the good news is, it is 'steepest at the start'. And in even better news, because you are stepping into your integrity, let that energy be your fuel. Just as it did for Dante (Beck's entire book parallels the journey of Dante through the levels of Hell in Dante's Inferno, Part I of The Divine Comedy) who because he wanted to be set free "so damn much" used that "intense wanting" to "propel him forward over terrain he doesn't believe he can cover." 3. Acknowledging and walking away from 'bad or disordered' love "'Bad' or 'disordered' love emerges when people are well-meaning but mistaken—for example, when we feel loyal to people and ideas that don't match our inner truth." So many of Beck's anecdotes are specific and clearly teach what she is introducing to readers. On this point she shares, "You might stop laughing at your coworker's crude jokes. You may come out as gay or trans. You may start posting things on social media that shock your loved ones. You may turn into some version of Rosa Parks, refusing to give up her bus seat to a white person." In sharing these examples, she reveals how quickly our lives will change when we step away from 'bad' love. And it happens quickly because while you've known for quite some time your truth, you haven't shared it with those who you've let keep 'loving' you in a way that serves their needs, but neglects yours. 4. Be prepared to contemplate returning to old ways (even if they weren't true to you) Prior to deciding to leave teaching, I chose to regularly see my counselor, and I am grateful I did. On this point, she reminded me, after always checking in with me about how I was feeling about my decision (once I had decided I would write my resignation letter) that there will be mourning for the 'old misery'. In other words, the life you know and are leaving, you will at times - whether in your dreams or in different states where you are emotionally weak or exhausted (these times especially were when my doubts would arise) - seriously doubt the decision you are about to make. What is happening is natural, and it does subside in time as I can share now after having felt those moments of mourning for the known misery early on after having made my decision. "Studies in psychoneuroimmunology show that if we plunge too quickly into any major change, even a good one, our bodies and minds can't absorb the shock. We must give our psycholoigcal and physiological systems time to adjust." How we give ourselves this time is where the phrase "mourning the known misery" comes from. And it is knowing that such a temporary state exists that we are able to better navigate through this time and into a life in which we are fully embracing our true nature. A few words from Beck on this subject, "If you start honoring your true nature and find yourself missing your old culture, don't panic. Be kind to yourself. Allow yourself time and space to grieve. Confide in loved ones. If they don't understand, find a coach or therapist. But don't think that missing your old life means you should go back to it." 5. A life transformed for the better "Whatever you do to heal the world, it will replace [bad health, habits, moods, etc. - what Beck refers to as 'dark wood of error symptoms'] with purpose, happiness, vitality, love, abundance, and fascination that specifically match your true nature." Perhaps this all sounds too good to be true, but simply the fact that you are thinking that is the hope you have unconsciously, that you hope it can be true. That it can be possible. Benefits of finding your way to integrity and living it daily 1. A life full of "meaning, enchantment and fascination" The world needs what you uniquely can give to it. When we each find the courage to honor our nature especially when the culture doesn't nurture it, we step forward toward a life full of meaning, and we as well become uplifted and enthralled with the awesome life we have the good fortune to live. Beck points out that thankfully, 'nature doesn't give up without a fight', so if you are doubting that it is too late, that you've waited too long, no, it's not and no, you haven't. The mere fact that you are still contemplating, wishing, hoping, wondering is nature's strength of hanging on until you finally take action to courageously find your way of integrity. 2. Breath-taking moments are experienced beyond what the culture tells you is possible "Obviously, no one will have taught you how to navigate such wonders. No worries. You'll learn fast. You were born for it." If happiness, and based on having read Beck's book, I think more deeply it fits the definition of contentment, if contentment is something you could buy in the store and be promised a life of awe, wonder, peace, would you buy it? What if I told you it was free? I have a feeling some would question it must be too good to be true, but that is our conditioning when it comes to believing in how possible living well is. We have been conditioned to believe happiness can only be pursued, not attained, AND that only so many people are capable of attaining it so we must hurry up and chase it down, ignoring the present and constantly live in the future. But that is errant thinking. The ability to attain contentment for free is possible because it exists within us each already. Our answer resides in each of us. Our true nature, our true selves, has always been with us. We now just need to let it speak. In other words, let ourselves speak honestly, truthfully, and the world begins to change for the better. Not only for each one of us who courageously takes this step, but for all of us, as we begin to see who each of us actually is, how diverse and awesome we actually are and how to think well without unconscious manipulation. 3. A stronger you both physically and emotionally As you begin to step off the wrong path and onto your way of integrity, there will be push-back, but wonderfully, you will be more capable than you might have ever imagined because, "Even if the people around [you] raise merry hell, [you] find yourself coping—more than that, thriving—more easily than [you'd] imagined." 4. A more peaceful you The truth about feeling drained, emotionally exhausted, is not necessarily the environment's fault, but rather that we shouldn't be in that environment. We are needed some place else. Find that place and find your peace. 5. A life of inner harmony True contentment, as shared on TSLL many times previously, is capable of being experienced even during the most difficult of moments and heartbreaking days and events. Why? When you've found and know what inner harmony is, an alignment of your true self - body, mind, heart and soul - you acknowledge and tend to what you have control over and clearly recognize and let go of what you don't. You are living a life of truth in your actions, words and thoughts, and you are strengthened knowing how to navigate forward well, modeling and, when applicable, and you are capable, nurturing those around you forward as well with kindness and compassion. 6. Find your people who 'get' you "If you don't walk your true path, you don't find your true people." Ah, while I have met so many amazing people during my years as a teacher whether the staff and colleagues I have been incredibly fortunate and privileged to work alongside, the many, many parents who's love and tireless efforts to raise children in a world that is ever-changing, and especially the awesome students who through their natural strengths and honed skills, learning from struggles and finding truths along the way, my connection has been professional as I kept, for the most part, my writing life compartmentalized from my teaching life. Once I finally began talking about what I love about blogging, which was only this spring (except to one, maybe two people over the years), a burden on my shoulders was lifted and I felt free. Some don't understand what I am stepping fully into, and consequently, our relationships, even though respectfully collegial, have lessened, but to others, we've had far more honest conversations than we have ever had. And this is just the beginning of a positive shift. "We simply can't chart a course to happiness by linking up with others who are as lost as we are. The path to true love—true anything—is the way of integrity." In order to fully and deeply connect with others, we must be our true selves - no holding back, no editing, no 'hoping they like us'. When we are our true selves, it doesn't matter if everyone ‘gets' us so long as we let ourselves be set free, and that is what draws others of similar understanding and those who can see our honest and raw expression and who appreciate such strength into our lives. These are the people you want to connect with. These are the people with whom healthy, loving relationships grow. 7. Balance Yes, balance is possible (although our culture would have us believe otherwise, believing the skill to master is not balance but rather being constantly thrown from side to side, stressor to next stressor. Don't buy into this myth!). In The Divine Comedy, Virgil writes something that 'stuns Dante. All these 'sins' are actually based in love. Sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust are simply unbalanced relationships with rest, abundance, nourishment and sex. We can err by either compulsively indulging or rigidly repressing our natural relationship with these things. This lack of balance doesn't come when we allow union with our true nature, but when we split ourselves away from it. It's misguided thinking, not natural behavior, that causes us to stray from our innocence." Our innocence is our true selves. Our true self is found and experienced when we step into the way of integrity. Bravely doing so, courageously striding, becoming ever stronger and exhilarated with each step. 8. Fulfill your long-term heart's desires For this last point in today's post/episode, I'll leave you with Beck's words as she reflects on her own life journey and teaches us one of the grandest benefits of finding your own way of integrity, embracing your true self: "As this internal shift occurred, life seemed to deliver more and more of the things I'd longed for during my life. I began to imagine that the universe works like this: whenever we humans long for something, the Powers That Be immediately send it. But everything we've ordered is always delivered to our real home address: peace. This is why we struggle for things in a state of desperation, they don't come to us—nothing works when it's misaligned. But when we return to a state of peace, the things we've 'ordered' can finally reach us." — Martha Beck, The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self (2021) The way of integrity is a path through and with life that makes you excited simply to envision it for a moment during your day. You may breathe a sigh of relief and a smile may even creep upon your face spontaneously each time you dare to think what you imagine could be your real life. I have been so incredibly excited to share today's episode with you because while my last day of teaching doesn't occur for another two weeks, the announcement has been made, the reality has been put into place, and a peace not-yet-known-until-now is already being felt (yes, moments of mourning the known misery creep up, but they are fewer and fewer, and now I know immediately where they stem from and how to navigate respectfully through these feelings). Living simply luxuriously doesn't just happen, and it indeed takes time. When we learn the skills necessary for living a life of true contentment, we can then begin to build what will be unique to each of us. The foundation of a fulfilling, joy-filled life, is to realign yourself with your true self. To conclude with more sagacity from Martha Beck on making our way to integrity, "Not because this path is virtuous, but because it aligns you with reality, with truth. Your life will work for the same reason a well-built plane will fly. Not a reward for good behavior. Just physics." Logical and simultaneously honoring the full humanity of each and every one of us.

The Shema - the great statement that "this is One!" goes on to describe many things that seem like (at least) two - Divine providence and nature, heart and mind, thought and action, inside and outside, night and day. This is precisely the work of Shema - to learn how to bridge those disparate worlds.

Welcome to empower hour. I have a packed hour for you. In a few minutes, I'll be sharing with you an interview I had with Nicole Catenazzi, Fearless Heart Mentor. By the way you can reach her through her website here. And you can reach me for one on one coaching here or email princella@pslimitlesswoman.com. If you are more interested in a group coaching with me go here.Nicole and I had a great conversation around what she does and how she works with her clients. And I felt so inspired to go a little bit deeper. Before you hear her conversation about the experience that many of her clients have with truly, truly being surprised at the inner wisdom that they hold. Yes, clients are expressing how they're amazed and surprised. At the inner wisdom that they discover in going through this process that she guides them through. I have found this to be so true with my clients as well. And it helps me to see that no matter what type of coaching we receive, just simply having someone there in your corner that you establish a relationship with, that you feel connected to, where you can release any shackles and walls that you have put up around your feelings and the things that you. You are afraid to share with others and the things that are even underlying at an unconscious level. And Nicole and I will talk about this in our interview as well. The things that are at an unconscious level that hold us back for me, that's like the kicker. That's the kicker right there. Unconscious level. And when we can raise our awareness to a consciousness and awareness where we see our true selves, not only do we discover sometimes things that we're not happy with, but we also get the beauty of discovering things that we are so, so happy with. 

Use your time wisely. We have the same amount of time to be great in a day. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thepeoples-demonstration/support

"EVERY DAY" - Weekly Online Movie Gathering - Commentary by David Hoffmeister The movie Every Day was picked as a result of a topics poll where the clear number one was "Letting Go of Form and Following Guidance. In A Course in Miracles is says, "When you decide upon the form of what you want, you lose the understanding of its purpose" and in this movie gathering David adds, "and when you decide upon forgiveness all form in time and space is perceived as an illusion". Compartmentalized love in the world is more of a fantasy than an actuality. Experiences are needed that show us a sense of intimacy and connection that is not based on the body, or time, or frequency of contact. Those are all key factors to the ego’s version of love, whereas the spirit wants to take us deep inside our mind to know a love that's not dependent on form. Join the Living Miracles community for weekly online movie gatherings with commentary! Each movie is presented by a Living Miracles community member who will offer inspiring movie setups, commentary, and space for you to share your movie experience. Join us online!

On this show, Nate goes further into mind-control and takes us from the structure of the hierarchy down into the compartmentalized lower parts of the dark "pyramid" where knowledge plays a key role in what position commanders have over each other. Plus, he gets into the ways in which the minds of the masses are swayed and dominated by those who withhold the critical knowledge that could set us free. So, how do these control structures work and how do they truly maintain power? This show gives us a very important idea of how that is. So make sure to listen all the way through and also it's a good idea to listen to show #17 to understand this one better.

"Buy good real estate and pay market rate for it with a differentiated plan to create value" Mike Balaban Bio Michael S. ("Mike") Balaban is a 40+ year real estate executive who has led several local enterprise initiatives as well as perhaps over 100 investment and/or development projects in his wide ranging career. Growing up in an ethnic neighborhood in Philadelphia, PA he gained perspective of a diverse urban environment early in life that influenced his outlook toward both urban design as an architect early in his career in Boston, MA and subsequently in both acquisitions and development since moving to the DC area in the mid 1980s. After a stint with WRIT (now Wash REIT) in acquisitions, he led the DC area office of Lowe Enterprises for almost 20 years, developing landmark projects including 601 New Jersey Ave. NW and City Vista. He subsequently advocated his "Urban Suites" concept through his venture with SB Urban (now Saul Urban) and later at J Street.

Are we afraid of what God can do through us? Are we afraid, like Herod in this week's reading, that God might take what's good from us instead of give what's best to us?

Verbal Behaviour - Talk is Cheap Podcast 5 - Talk is Cheap ABA technical concepts covered in this podcast: mentalism; explanatory fiction; philosophic doubt; contextual cueing; general case programming; autoclitic; discriminative stimuli; Skinners "Pure behaviour"; verbal behaviour; listener, speaker; automatic reinforcement. Presenters - Bobbi Hoadley, Cathy Knights. There is a lot of science on verbal behaviour and how talk influences cognition. There are a lot of different ways to have cognitive biases about behaviour- we are snowflakes, making our own assumptions or biases about ourselves or myths from society. A common proverb is seeing is believing. Saying is believing is the right one. If I say it enough, then it is true. When you say something out loud, you are learning it best and processing in your brain. When you retrieve it, it will sound true to you as the brain processes your environment and discriminates between efficiencies. Storytelling-may have some basis in reality, but embellishment occurs. How can you ever tell the truth? We all have varying degrees of ability to distort our thinking through what we say. Unless theres evidence to think otherwise, the story is true, e.g. witnesses interpret what theyre seeing, not always the facts. When you layer your observation on behaviour then the detail is less reliable and less precise. Our brains are always working to store memories where there is a context, e.g. retrieving memory from childhood through a smell. One of the ways the brain stores memory efficiently is putting it into the context of how youve adapted to the environment- very personalized. Often Parley tells people dont ask a person why they do what they do. The more you push someone into a corner and demand an answer, the more defensive they become. Compartmentalized things on a factual basis is very efficient. We all have different versions of reality. Retelling embellished stories is not a lie. Lying behaviour is definitely not true and said to manipulate another person. Then theres a group dynamic effect, e.g. rudeness is contagious in the workplace as people are triggered by other rude people. If you can infiltrate the group by being equally strong in ethics and generosity then the dynamic can change. Those interactions are an adaptation to the environment. Great leaders influence in the right way- by offering something more reinforcing such as positive social reinforcement. Telling isnt teaching- most of us think if we tell people what to do, theyll change the error of their ways. While we think we may be providing enlightenment, we likely arent making a difference to their behaviour. Cognitive dissonance is when we say one thing and do another; we live with contradictions and are accepting of those contradictions. Most of this comes through our language. Hypothetical questions get hypothetical answers. This all becomes a problem when it becomes a barrier to what we need or want in life. Be mindful-observe and then respond, as opposed to giving in to automatic conditioned behaviours. Theres good verbal behaviour that allows the social grace to accommodate others without being painfully honest- "If there is nothing good to say, say nothing at all." So important to find as much truth as we can, understanding that talk is cheap. The internet has us relying on most reinforcing message we can get, rather than extensive research on something. Challenging someones behavioural conditioning invites rejection. Work toward building the ability to self-soothe, self-monitoring behaviours, and have resilience, etc. Examine underlying needs and important behaviours to exercise.

Does Jesus impact the way you think, speak, and act in every area of your life? Or are there places in your life where you can be you - as you - and not you as a follower of Jesus? Join us as we look at the subject of compartmentalization and how it can impact the life of a Christian.

Most Christian business people hold that Christianity is about church and business has nothing to do with it.  Let's examine that idea.

More and more parents today are saying their kid is one way at school but act a totally different way at home. Parents hear rave reviews from teachers about how kind, respectful and conscientious their teen is at school or in public, but parents are confused because their teen seems to only behave this way at school. In this week's episode, Roy addresses this phenomenon which he says is not at all new. Roy has experienced teens displaying different selves and personas in different aspects or roles of their lives, what Roy calls a "compartmentalization of selves. Roy explains that social media has only exacerbated this behavior, which is not necessarily a problem as all people have multiple selves. Roy suggests that parents and other adults admit this truth to teens in an appropriate way so that teens understand that adults can relate. While changing selves is normal, a lack of consistency between different selves may hold consequences a young person has not considered. Roy encourages parents to those living or working with teens to ask teens about this issue and how they see their different selves and offers further tips to enable teens to visualize and realize the dynamics involved in these situations without a condemning or judgmental tone.

It is not intended to nor should it be used as a replacement for professional counseling Roy has established Today's Teenager as a non-profit organization dedicated to covering the expenses of therapy sessions and other mental health services for teens and families that would otherwise be unable to afford them.
