The Alaska Board of Fisheries has tweaked some regulations related to trawl bycatch in the Prince William Sound pollock fishery; and the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday recognized outstanding people and businesses on the central Kenai Peninsula.

Leona is from the Alaskan village of Tatitlek on Prince William Sound. She grew up in a large family as one of ten children. At the age of 12, her father passed away. She and her brother took up fishing to help support the family. Then her mother sent her to school. It was there that she discovered that something was missing in her life.

Sometimes, despite our very best efforts, when death comes knocking we find that the door is already open. Join Kayla and Michelle this week as they discuss the devastating attempt to rescue a fisherman from a death trap in Prince William Sound. And even when things go right, it all seems to go wrong. GET YOUR MERCH:https://5c8ffc-3.myshopify.com

Over the last year, fishing crews grappled with historically low prices, and processors sold and closed down plants over the winter. The Prince William Sound fishery is one of the most productive in the state, but fishing crews are also feeling the pressure.

Today I did a live broadcast which will be the first of a series of online concerts I plan to do about resistance. Whether we're talking about armed uprisings, mass civil disobedience, or actions carried out by much smaller groups of people, current events and history are full of stories of resistance. "When you fight, you win" may not quite be actually true, even if it's a good slogan. But even if making the effort doesn't always get the desired results, resistance in its many forms often leads to positive changes that wouldn't have happened otherwise. The themes I explore in this episode include: When the Ottoman Navy rescued as many as 800,000 Spanish Jews in 1492 The Merthyr Rising in Wales in 1831 The Rent Strike Wars in New York State in the 1840's The resistance to British occupation by the Irish Republican Army in the 1970's and 1980's The blockade of Prince William Sound in Alaska in 1993 Muslim-Christian solidarity on the Kenya-Somalia border in 2015 Palestine Action's continuing resistance to Elbit Systems' efforts to supply the Israeli war machine with weaponry The resistance of Ansar Allah, aka the Houthi Army, in solidarity with the besieged people of Gaza on the Red Sea

When the Exxon Valdez supertanker broke open on March 24, 1989, the resulting oil spill coated 1,300 miles of shoreline in Alaska's Prince William Sound and killed thousands of fish, birds, and wildlife. The environmental disaster is associated with the distressing images of water birds, otters, and other animals fighting for their lives through a thick coat of crude oil. The spill destroyed subsistence and commercial fishing for Alaska Native fishers, and created ecological contamination that is still recovering. We'll look at the lasting harm from the spill 35 years later, and what's changed to prevent future disasters. GUESTS Dune Lankard (Eyak Athabascan), founder and president of the Native Conservancy Sheri Buretta (Alutiiq from the Native Village of Tatitlek), chairman of the board for the Chugach Alaska Corporation Stan Jones, author and former journalist Patience Anderson Faulkner (Sugpiaq), legal technician and paralegal

In this episode we take a look back at one of the biggest environmental disasters of all time. The Exxon Valdez oil tanker hit the Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound on March 24, 1989 and dumped 10.8 million gallons of oil into the water.   Prince William Sound was so remote that it could only be gotten too by boat or air, and that made getting to it in order to clean the spill up nearly impossible for Exxon and the Government.  The result was that the oil drifted everywhere, eventually covering 1300 miles of the coast affecting dramatically a habitat for salmon, sea otters, seals , and various bird, and other wildlife. President Bush was forced to act as fast as possible to reverse the damage before it laid waste many of the natural resources Alaska needed to survive.  All of this tragedy was blamed on Captain Joseph Hazelwood who was accused of being drunk at the time of the accident. That proved to be untrue, and Hazelwood won a criminal case in 1990 ending that widely believed mythology. He was , in fact , not even on the bridge at the time of the accident.  He had not been drinking while on the job and the accusations stemmed from a DUI arrest he had received some 6 months earlier while off from work. Years later , Exxon was found to have been negligent in how it operated its supertankers.  Three factors would eventually be listed as the cause. They were :  (from Wikipedia) Exxon Shipping Company failed to supervise the master (ship's captain) and provide a rested and sufficient crew for Exxon Valdez. The NTSB found this practice was widespread throughout the industry, prompting a safety recommendation to Exxon and to the industry.[13]The third mate failed to properly maneuver the vessel, possibly due to fatigue or excessive workload.[13]Exxon Shipping Company failed to properly maintain the Raytheon Collision Avoidance System (RAYCAS) radar, which, if functional, would have indicated to the third mate an impending collision with the Bligh Reef by detecting the radar reflector placed on the next rock inland from Bligh Reef for the purpose of keeping ships on course. This cause was brought forward by Greg Palast and is not presented in the official accident report.[14]It would be the Bush Administration that would supervise the clean up of the Sound, and implemented the reforms that helped make the oil industry far safer after the spill. This is that story, and the story of the nearly two decades of struggle for the Alaskans who had to try and pick up the pieces after the spill was over and the attention of the world had moved on. This show also discusses our host , Randal Wallace's own involvement in the debate over offshore drilling in the Carolinas, where he supported drilling for Natural Gas in an era before electric cars had so transformed the energy market in America.   Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

In this episode, Nick Tilsen visits with longtime mentor Dune Lankard, who shares stories and knowledge from his fight to protect his homelands in southcentral Alaska. From protecting millions of acres, to standing up for the bears, to fighting climate change while feeding the people with kelp, Dune shows what it means when he says, “ocean back.” As Dune says, “if it's not regenerative then just don't do it.”  Dune Lankard, Eyak Athabaskan of the Eagle Clan from Cordova, Alaska, has been fighting to protect his homelands in the Prince William Sound and the Copper River Delta his entire life. He waged successful battles in protecting over a million acres in the Copper River Delta, was lifted up by Times Magazines as one of the Heroes of the Planet, selected by Asoka as one of the world's leading social entrepreneurs, won numerous awards for this work, and has mentored many in this movement just by being a warrior fighting for mother earth. His work has influenced Nick, many we work with, and the creation of NDN Collective.

Joe Kurtak embodies a modern day Alaskan. He was raised at a remote mining camp in eastern California, went to college, then came to Alaska in 1971 for a summer job. He quickly fell for everything the Great Land had to offer, especially its geology. Joe worked for 40 years mapping Alaska's geology while working for both private firms and the federal government. Along the way he also pursued his love of skiing and sea kayaking. On this Outdoor Explorer Joe shares his wealth of knowledge of Alaska's geology, including Prince William Sound, and some of his many adventures with host Paul Twardock.

In 1989, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground off the coast of Alaska. More than ten million gallons of crude oil gushed out of its shattered holds into the pristine waters of Prince William Sound. It was an environmental disaster which caused the death of thousands of wild animals and scarred the beautiful landscape for years. The damage was equally deep to the reputation of the tanker's owner and operator, the oil giant Exxon.To listen to Business Movers ad-free, join Wondery+ in the Wondery App. Click here to download the app: https://wondery.app.link/businessmoversSupport us by supporting our sponsors!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Imagine that you don't have to spend hours in traffic jams on your way to the office. No need to be squeezed in a crowd of commuters at rush hour. To get to the supermarket, you don't even have to go out. Just press a button in the elevator or walk down the stairs if you're in an athletic mood. Sound like a miracle? In fact, there's a town in Alaska whose citizens have everything they need under one roof. It's Whittier, maybe the strangest town you've ever seen. Whittier is situated on the coast of Prince William Sound in the Gulf of Alaska. All of Whittier's 220 citizens live in one building; a tower of condominiums. Citizens don't only live in the same building, but go to work, school, and do their shopping by just pressing different buttons in the elevator. Well, actually there's one guy, Paul, who thinks he's special and lives in a camper nearby.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we look at one of the worst ecological disasters of all time, the wreck of the Exxon Valdez. In March of 1989, the massive ship struck Bligh Reef in Alaska, and over 11 Million gallons of crude oil dumped into the once-pristine Prince William Sound. Hundreds of bald eagles and seals, thousands of otters, and hundreds of thousands of sea birds died as a result. The cleanup crews developed illnesses due to the chemicals used to scrub the beaches. The ship's captain, Joe Hazelwood was accused of being drunk at the time of the crash, but as more evidence came out, Exxon seemed to be the real villain here. Go green with this one as you listen, laugh, and learn.   Visit Our Sources: https://www.history.com/topics/1980s/exxon-valdez-oil-spill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exxon_Valdez_oil_spill DAARP Page https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2014/03/remembering-the-exxon-valdez-oil-spill/100703/ https://www.livescience.com/44314-exxon-valdez-spill-anniversary-facts.html https://usa.oceana.org/exxon-valdez-oil-spill-facts/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Hazelwood

PART 1: Meet the waterfowler responsible for taking your host trapping for the first time. Leo Faro is a lifelong Alaskan who has held the distinguished title "Fox Choker" as an actual job title. Leo describes dragging Kurt along and shares his experiences trapping in Prince William Sound and Attu Island.  

The Exxon Valdez oil spill changed the environment in Prince William Sound for years to come. An oil tanker hit a reef in the sound and proceeded to spill more than 38 million gallons of crude oil into the water. The isolated location of the spill made it almost impossible to respond to the crisis in a timely manner. As a young boy, this accident was especially impacting to me. News reports showed the beautiful harbor covered in oil. Hundreds of bald eagles, sea otters, seals, and other marine wildlife were killed. Oil covered the water and the shore. The animals could do nothing to save themselves. This incident is a helpful image of how sin affects the world. Through the entrance of sin into the world, everything was covered and infected by brokenness and death. We experience this brokenness in our own sin, in the sin of others, and in an environment that does not provide life as it was intended. Yet the Lord has determined to bring about a change to the environment. He has determined that he will clean up the mess that his people have made and give to them deliverance from the effects of their own sin. This is the purpose of God's covenant with his people. He will give to them deliverance from the effects of sin. He will turn the oil spill of our sin back into a clean and pure landscape. Though we were stained by our sin he will wash us clean. And what we will see in our text for this Sunday is that the Lord has determined to bring about climate change through the prayers of his faithful servants. To come prepared for the sermon, take time this week to read and to meditate upon 1 Kings 18:41-46, Romans 11:33-34, James 5:17-18, Revelation 22:20, and this article explaining the term expiation.

In March of 1989, the Exxon Valdez oil tanker crashed in the Prince William Sound in Alaska. At the time, it was the largest oil spill in history. Countless wildlife were harmed or killed. The economic impact to locals was devastating. What warning signs did Exxon fail to address? Would the criminal justice system seek justice for their crimes? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ryan-christopher-horn/support

Optimal Health Strategist Gunther Mueller has developed what he calls the 'Magnetic Mind Method." This means he helps people tap into our subconscious to create and manifest the life we've always wanted.=============================================Ari Gronich0:14Welcome back to another episode of creating a new tomorrow. I am your host Ari Gronich today with me is Gunther Mueller. And Gunther is a certified magnetic mind coach now, you know, I'm gonna let him explain that but 30 years of successfully being an entrepreneur, optimal health strategist, you have, you know, you have three kids alongside all the work that you've done, but you've actually taken and builds a business in three years to $20 million in the anti-aging, I believe, field, founded another company, you've bought and sold several companies. So today, we're going to talk a lot about not just the health and wellness, not just the mindset, but also kind of the deep and down and dirty parts of business a little bit. And I'm going to kind of take you on a journey today audience that hopefully will lead you into a place where you could go, Oh, yeah, I got this. And I can move ahead tomorrow, creating my new tomorrow, today. So anyway, Gunther, tell us a little bit about yourself.Gunther Mueller1:24Hey, Ari, thank you so much for having me on, create a new tomorrow. It's amazing to be here because the title of your show is completely in alignment with the information I'm passionate about sharing today. And hopefully the audience gets a lot out of this today. So a little bit about me and I grew up middle class in New York City, bolted out of there in 1984 to go skiing in Colorado and go to school out there because scheme was my thing and need to go ski the bigger mountains but you know, did the thing that you were supposed to do get good grades, go to college, you know, do that whole rigamarole thing. And then I became a professional ski bum for four years after college. So I lived in Vail, lived in a steamboat for a while and commercial fish in Alaska, worked on the Valdez oil spill. If anybody remembers what that was, I was in Prince William Sound for about 60 days, moving people around and equipment and things like that. And then I started my sales career basically in the 90s, selling meat and seafood door to door because I had experience in the seafood industry. You know, I knew what good stuff was. I built about 3000 customers in the Colorado mountainous region. This is the days before Sam's Club and before you know, Costco and all that.Ari Gronich2:41So I just want to say this. So when I was 17 and a half 18. And I'm just finishing up school, high school and rural Oregon. Right? Yeah, I was selling meat and seafood door to door in Oregon on the back of a truck with a freezer on the back of a truck just like a regular big old freezer, laying in the bed of a truck. And so. Gunther Mueller3:14Hey I did it for 10 years. And I loved it because I got to wear shorts and a golf shirt every day. And I had great customers all over the place and loved it. And then I turned it into an online company in 1998 and then sold that company to one of my suppliers. And then I got into the restaurant business for 14 years. I had about four restaurants that I managed and so food was kinda in my blood food distribution. I work for a we'll start up coffee roaster and then I created America's freshest coffee for the Schwann food company for a while. I went to go to the corporate gig as a regional vice president for them managed a million square mile territory did really well. But the corporate world was not of my liking or choosing. So I you know, get this entrepreneurial blood in my in my veins. And I think I got that from my mom, she know how to sell. She's a travel agent for 50 years, and just knew how to get people to go great places, right. And so then after that I've been in the solar industry did really well used to sell $4 million a month worth of solar panels. And then from solar. I got into the medical industry, which I've been in for over 10 years now. And that's where I created that company and about three years doing about 20 million a year and it was really changing the paradigm of medicine with your average ob-gyn and family practice doctor to optimize hormones and optimize nutrition instead of being so pharmaceutically based. I mean it was really a quantum shift in medicine for a lot of people I was really specialized in something called pellet therapy, which was getting hormones actually inserted into the body and it's you know, it's everywhere now, but when I did it 10 years ago, nobody knew what a pellet was. It was, so I was kind of one of the spear hitters of that therapy in the United States.Ari Gronich5:06Very cool. So nowadays, you know, you're not doing that exactly. You're, you're doing this thing called the magnetic mind. Right, coach. Now, I want to get into this a little bit. So how did you get started working with mind? How did mindset play a role in your sales? So I'm kind of doing a multi question here. So how did mindset play a role in your sales? How did you get into mindset? I know for a friend of mine, oh, he was with Xerox for a while, and they had Zig Ziglar, and all these sales training. So just kind of that background. And then what made that turn into what you're doing now? And how do you see this as kind of that next evolution? Gunther Mueller5:54Yeah, great question Ari, I love answering it. So what happened was in those days of selling meat and seafood, like I was always a true seeker, even from being a little kid, you know, I used to go walk by a church and think, oh, God lives there. You know what I mean? And but how does that all work out? What's the reality of the universe? Basically, I want to know how things work, right? And nobody really was able to answer it for me. And so in my days of selling meat and seafood door to door, my vehicle was my university, I listened to not the radio or pop music or anything, I listened to the greats like Zig Ziglar. You know, one of my favorite quotes from Zig Ziglar is you can have anything in life if you help enough other people get what they want. You know, and he was a great guy. And, you know, the Brian Tracy's of the world, the Tony Robbins of the world. Look, I what I'm here to share today, I did not create, right, I stand on the shoulders of giants, okay, who have investigated every aspect of personal development, human consciousness, you know, the whole quantum physical research over the last 40 years, there's so much science behind understanding the power that we have in our mind. But it all started with reading, thinking Grow Rich, it was one of the first books and it's the quintessential text, you know, in, let's call it getting what you want in life, or, you know, creating a new tomorrow, like, how do you do it, you know, you're living your life, and you want something different, you want something better. And we're gonna talk about that a little bit later. But you want something different, you want something better, there's a difference between the two ideas on so I started doing that one book after another one cassette tape after another really dating myself there, right? cassette tapes was the thing. And then the DVDs, and I used to drive 100, 200 miles a day. So all that education, all that content, all of that listening to a different way to think about things. And that kind of got embedded in my cellular structure from all those years of doing that. And today, I think the magnetic mind method is really a revolution in the personal development space. Because I'm at the place today to tell everyone that look, you're not broken. There's nothing for you to fix. And a lot of the history of the personal development movement has always been going back, to fix yourself to do something to get something right, something's broken inside of your personality, or something's broken in your being, and you have to fix it first in order to get what you want. I'm here today to tell everyone that we look we need to back out of the problem-solving reality and move into the creator stance. And the creator stances that power position. It's like, we need to remember who we truly are that we are connected to an infinite field of possibilities. And when we become consciously creative, we can create whatever situation reality manifest anything that we want. And this is backed up by science.Ari Gronich8:54So I'm gonna ask you, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go back a step. I'm gonna ask you a question you may not have heard before. So I started doing asked when I was eight, life spring, landmark forum, I mean, Cyworld, MIT. I've done so many of these self-improvement movement, workshops and programs and weekends and events and things. What I watch, what I observe, is about 90 so odd percent of the people go there are motivated for about two weeks to a month, and then it dies down. 5% start following the practices that they hear and maybe last a year or two or three until some trauma, gets them out of it. And then there's about 4%, right, that really buy in and get the information and then about 1% or so. This is being this is just my statistics and my, my, what I've watched that actually like live, the information that they've been taught. So here's my question to you. You have done all of these things. And you've taken it. And you've actually become I don't know which percentage but one of the 10, let's say, part of that 10% of the people, right? What makes you have that ability versus say, somebody else? What do you think is the difference between what you were able to do with the information and technology and experiences that you received? That you think the 90% of people who don't ever shift haven't gotten? What do you think that break is that delineation?Gunther Mueller10:55The break is truly listening to your own voice inside your head, okay, because especially today in the era of social media, we are so enamored or concerned with what other people think. I mean, it's getting to the point of ridiculousness, where our self-esteem if we don't look out for it is really coming from what other people do, do they like us, do they share us, do they do this kind of thing, right? And so back that when you asked me that question, the first thing that pops up in my mind is, I have had the ability to listen to my own voice. Now, I'm not saying that everything that I've done has been successful. Look, the path to success is laced with failure. And it's in failure, that you learn the most important lessons, if you had nothing but success in life, you would not be very seasoned, you would not be very skilled, you would not be very proficient in anything. It's through failure, it's through challenge. And this is really the human experience. A lot of people will say, look, I'd like to have a life with just no problems. I'm telling you, you'd be bored out of your mind, if you had no problems, okay? If there were no challenges, no problems, nothing to deal with in life, you would be bored out of your skull. That's just not why we're here as human beings, we're going to have this human experience. Now the beautiful place to be is to be consciously creative to kind of be an observer of what's going on, you know, an airplane at 30. 40,000 feet can see the landscape, right. And when you have that observer mentality, but this takes some practice, this takes some training, right? They don't teach it in school, they don't teach it in college, most of your parents don't teach it to their kids. Unless you become a hungry seeker to a degree and find this out for yourself and your percentages, I agree with so many people get information, they get knowledge. But look, the power is in the knowledge applied. You can go course after course, book after book, seminar, after seminar, do all these retreats, do all kinds of thing, like you said, you feel good for about a month. And then you just forget because you have not applied. And so then the second piece, listening to your own inner voice, because look, you know what if your desires are, let's call it God's plan for your life. What if those desires, What if those things that voice that's trying to speak to you is the directional signal in your life, and you keep ignoring it, you don't listen to it, you never take any time, you've got noise blaring at you all the time, and you never listen to the little voice that's inside and then trusted enough to follow it and not worry so much about what others may think of you. Correct? That's one of the key points right there.Ari Gronich13:51I'm pondering that because there's definitely a level of truth to I think that people go home after getting motivated. And then, you know, somebody says, Well, that wasn't probably what you know, like, or that's not going to work or that's not you know, that you get excited about what you're doing. So I can understand that. I think it goes a little deeper into the depths of the psyche, though. So that concept that you've stated of worrying about what other people think of you, right? goes deeper. So let's drop down into a deeper level of that.Gunther Mueller14:33Love it. So to go deeper is that we all have some self-sabotaging identities that we have acquired through this, let's call it the life stream of this life. And it really is impactful from like zero to seven years old, you know, the data and the science tells us that that's when we just really have an open mind. And we are trying to figure out how it is here. We're trying to figure out You know how to get love. We're trying to figure out how to get nourishment. We're trying to figure out how to get a safe place to sleep. We're trying to figure out how to get what we want, when we're in that stage of development. And so we make certain decisions about life about how it is here. That's all it is. It's just we're trying to figure out what's it like here? And how do I survive. And so if you have abuse, or if you have trauma, or you have some episodes in your life that are unpleasing, the human reality is that we avoid pain. And we move to pleasure. But we avoid pain, a hell of a lot more than we move to pleasure. So what the reality is, is mediocrity becomes okay. Because it's not painful, right? It's just tight, I'm not in excruciating pain. I'm not in a, you know, ecstasy or pleasure. So I am okay with mediocrity. And the part of our mind, we have the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and what I'm going to introduce to you is the superconscious mind, and there's different names for that, but we like to call it the superconscious. In the subconscious programming, we have put things in there to prevent pain or to keep us safe. And the job of the egoic mind that conscious mind is to maintain the status quo. The conscious mind does not like change, because it knows how to navigate what is successfully. Right. And so some of the sabotaging identities that we pick up through a lifetime of experience, is things like I'm not good enough. I'm not worthy. I'm not capable, meaning I don't know enough, I'm not. This is an example of someone that never gets out of school. And they continually go for the next degree and the next degree in the next degree, right? I'm not, I'm just not capable of any one more thing. And then I'll be okay. I'm insignificant, I'm small, I'm not big enough, right, I'm insignificant, I'm not perfect. Many of us have this perfectionist stream in our mind can't do that, till I perfect this, this has to be just absolutely perfect before I get what I want. And then another big one is I don't belong; this is what we just talked about is this belonging. And it's okay to belong, it's okay to have a great tribe and a cool group of people, but you still have to be you. And so in light of the probably the top six self-sabotaging identities, and everybody has one or two of them, or all six of them in different degrees that we've incorporated into our subconscious program. And I want, I want you to be thinking about the subconscious like Windows 10 on your computer, okay, when you turn on your computer, Windows 10, boots up, the thing just runs, you don't know how it's running, you don't know the code, you don't know anything like every once in a while an update gets sent to Windows NT update, and you restart. And now the program is different than it was before. So we have to do the same thing to our subconscious program, because it's running completely unconsciously. And we put things in there to keep us safe. So when we when I say we need to step out of the problem solving reality, and take the creator stance, most of the audience is saying probably what does he mean by that? Right? What do you mean by a creative stance? Let me give you four examples of what I'm going to call true choices. And…Ari Gronich18:16First let's go through what problem solving is. Right? And then we'll go into that because we've gone through an automatic response system, which is your conscience, right.Gunther Mueller18:31So problem solving is what we've always been trained to do. We want what we want. So how do we get what we want? So the problem is to figure out a way to get what we want, and we do it consciously.Ari Gronich18:45So you're saying that the problem is wanting something that we don't have?Gunther Mueller18:51Yeah, but that's not the problem. Your desire, your desire is totally fine. You can desire and want whatever you want. That's not the wrong part. The part is that we've been trained to figure out in our conscious mind, how to solve the problem of not having it. Right. One having it is not the problem. It's the way we go about getting it anything comes the problem. So to think about goal setting, right? We've been taught to set SMART goals, and you got to have a date on it. You got to be clear about what you want. And then there's 5, 6, 10 steps or whatever to get what you want. And those things have to happen by a certain date. So when you do a SMART goal, you have in your own conscious mind figured out how it needs to happen. You have allowed no space for the field of infinite possibilities to provide the solution to you in some let's call it magical way. Okay, so you've spent your conscious energy your mind solving the problem. Let's take the idea of abundance, financial abundance. Right. Let's create a new tomorrow. And my two choices, I want to have the experience of having more than enough. I just want this experience of financial abundance and abundance in all aspects of my life. That's my true choice. I just always want to be in the experience of having more than enough. Well, how do I do that? Being in the entrepreneurial world, I deal with a lot of entrepreneurs that have decided or chosen that they need a big successful business in order to have that. And I always have to put the brakes on a little bit and say, Look, the business may not be the true choice. What your true choice is, is you want to have the experience of abundance. Having a successful business made give you the experience of massive struggle, okay, if you don't start a business, having the end in mind, you will get to a completed business that potentially you might hate it, you might not want, it may dominate your life. I mean, how many business owners are there where the business owns them? They don't own the business. Right? So be careful what you ask for Be careful what you wish for. Because if you do it in that problem-solving thing, you're looking at it from a field of limited possibilities. And when I say step out of the problem-solving thing, it's focusing on what you want, not on how it's going to show up, not on how it's going to manifest not on the how to how truly is up to the infinite field and the superconscious. Because look, abundance could happen by finding $100 million in a suitcase on the street. You could find it floating in the ocean, you want. And when we talk about infinite possibilities, I mean, infinite possibilities, whatever your imagination could imagine, and how abundance could show up for you. It's possible. But our conscious mind rationally goes in and say, Well, if you have these sabotaging identities, they're well, I'm not worthy of that that's never gonna happen to me, or I'm not good enough. That can never happen to me or I don't have enough knowledge. I don't have this. I'm insignificant, too small. I would never find that suitcase. Like, I'm just not lucky. You know what I mean? Like I do, I've walked right by the suitcase, and I'd miss it. And I would never find it right. So the programming and the tape that's running in that subconscious mind really rules the day. And so did I answer your question about what I mean by problem solving?Ari Gronich22:30Yes. And I just want to kind of get into what I heard was Basic Law of Attraction, right? So going to the experience that you want to experience, you know, whether it's visioning and feeling all the feelings of the perfect day or all, you know, those kinds of things. So that's cool. Because obviously, I want to experience the abundance of life fully, never needing or wanting anything, just everything is available at all times. Right. Now, the key thing that I believe was missing from the law of attraction was the step of action. Now, within what you just said, the confines of what you said is, we're not doing the SMART goal where we're creating the necessary actions from a problem solving point of view, we're going into the infinite. How does one get to the action side from that place?Gunther Mueller23:31So that's the fifth step in the five-step magnetic mind method. So it's the last thing we do? And we asked the question, okay, what is the next obvious action? And that you're right, that's where the secret, you know, great shows and opening the mind to a lot of possibilities and the power of the mind. And why I always like to say is the law of attraction, the secret is trying to solve the problem from the conscious mind. So this is where affirmation is. And I'm not saying they're wrong. And I'm not saying they don't work. They just take time. And they take that discipline, as you said in the beginning, right? People feel great for a month and they do it, and then it Peters off. Why is that? Because they don't see instantaneous results. Which is another concept I just want to throw in here as a seasoning real quick is the idea of as soon as possible. You see when you use a SMART goal, and you put a date on it, and the date goes by and it didn't happen. What most people do. Give up, or quit. Oh, well, didn't happen. I guess goal setting must not be for me. Goal setting doesn't work for me. Right? I tried, it doesn't work. So take any of the great personalities that we look to an Elan musk or you know, Prince or Madonna or you know, any of these celebrity type people that we look at. You think they have ever had to pick themselves up and try again, and try again, and keep going. Keep going for what they loved. Kept going like you look at Richard Branson, right? Just the other day he got into space. I mean, how long is that dream been manifesting, for him, of putting together all the engineers and you know, the concept laced with failure. And he's does other things and he's failed just as much as he succeeded in his life, maybe even failed a little bit more than he's succeeded, right. Way more. And he is not a perfect personality, right? If you got to know any of these people, they are not perfect beings in every aspect of their life, there is not, but they went after what they love to do, they went after that desire and focused on nothing else, you know, taken Oprah Winfrey or something like that, you know, built her media empire, she focused on what she loved, and she had perfect human, the perfect individual of No. And that's where this whole idea of perfection and all that comes in these things, we just have to let go. Right. That you have to let these things go. And there's a process to doing that. But when we try to solve the problem from the conscious mind, we're bumping into that subconscious programming. And what I'm going to share with you is how we go from the superconscious side, we just send an update to the subconscious, we do that with something called recode. Where we go in, we send an update, and we don't need to know what the problem was, we don't need to know what created the problem. We don't need to know if it was mommy or daddy or a teacher or some other situation going on. Right?Ari Gronich26:27So this sounds very different than, say, a bug fix for a software update, where when you go through the update, now all of a sudden, all the programs start acting wonky, you know, and then you get the blue screen of death. So we don't want to have the blue screen of death with our with our upgrades, right? We want to have the bugs, you know, eliminated. So how do we do the difference between those two, right? How do we get the upgrade to be smooth?Gunther Mueller26:59We do that because you're super conscious self, this highest version of yourself that is connected to the field, the infinite field and a great book to read on the field as Lynne McTaggart book just called the field. So much research has been done. We as human individuations are all part of this field, whether you're conscious of it or not. Okay, you're connected. And we are all connected. And if you look into the science, you look at all the experiments that have happened, we've proven this the field exists. So we're just going to take that as a given for the moment. If you don't believe me, you don't trust me, do your own research, dig in, right? got the field. And so we're connected into the field. So when you go to the superconscious level superconscious already knows what's happened in the past superconscious already knows all the connections knows all the dynamics. And when we do read code, we're basically asking for what we want. We say superconscious do you see the desire? Do you see the true choice? Do you see these two choices of experiencing infinite abundance? And when you connect into the field superconscious will respond usually in Yes, no answers. That's why you always ask questions in the yes and no type field, right? And, yeah, I see it. And then we go through a process of creating a structural tension, where the tension because the mind likes to resolve tension. And it likes to do it in a way that it's the path of least resistance. And so resistance is really the thing that keeps us from having what we want. And it is the identity structure that is congruent with the current reality. So Principle number one really is we have to take responsibility for the way it is now. And that's probably a big stepping stone that many people may have to get over. And that you I want to say this, you know, I say I'm gonna teach you how to become superconscious The truth is you already are. And you've already created everything that you're experiencing right now. So you are already a superconscious great, and now you just created some stuff that you might not like.Ari Gronich29:06I want to go back a little bit so you had said something regarding I just had it in my head a second ago. It was I love that I can edit these videos. It's so nice. Alright, keep going and I'll get back to it.Gunther Mueller29:32So we were on this track. Now I lost the track while we were talking aboutAri Gronich29:38Superconscious. Talking about superconscious going from above. Oh, I know what it was. So resistance. So I have a little bit different take on the resistance. Sustained resistance is what stops you. spurts of resistance are what drive you forward. And I'll tell you what I mean by that is the resistance in a lobster shell is what makes them want to go get another show. Right? It's that uncomfortable place that launches them into that next place. And so that's where I just want to, I want to delineate, at least for me, if thing is sustained resistance, if you let the resistance go, if you never change the shell, and you just keep building the resistance, yes, that is going to stop change. For me, the resistance is the signal that says change is needed now. And let's do that.Gunther Mueller30:32So I would equate that piece that you're saying that that is the true choice. That is the desire when you get to that place. And you've been, let's say, living this Groundhog Day reality, because there's only three places we can be, we can be stuck. We can be what we call oscillating, oscillating feels like three steps forward, two steps back one step forward, one step back, right, we're oscillating all we can be in a flow state flows, where we turn thoughts into things, and anybody that's done any high level athletics or anything like that are seeing the interviews with top athletes, they get into the zone. And they can make that three-point shot because they've done it a million times before and they're just in that zone, it just Swish, right? That's the zone feeling. And we can do that in our lives where we just turn thoughts desires into things. And I want to touch on this real quick. Well, how does that happen? As manifestation happened? The idea is, is that you're actually collapsing a part of the field into the present moment experience. So of the field of infinite possibilities, we're focusing on one possibility, with consistency. And the field actually collapses into the present moment. This is manifestation, this is how it happens. And it's photons is the smallest particles in the quantum physical reality. And the experiments that have proven This is that the particles don't even exist until the scientist intends to observe them. Meaning that the particle shows up for the experiment, when the observer intends to measure it, accelerate it, do whatever they're going to do with it to test it out. That's when the particle actually shows up. So the same thing happens in our manifestation. And when we have a true choice, we have a true desire. And we're focusing on that not trying to solve the problem, but we're focused on what we want. And we recode the resistance out of the way from the superconscious level, that true choice shows up as soon as possible. I'm not saying it's going to show up tomorrow.Ari Gronich32:40Got it. So that's where the as soon as possible comes in from the SMART goals. So we've kind of wrapped around. So let's get into that that as well. When we say something like, as soon as possible, kind of like one of the things that I say is how can it get any better than this? It's an open-ended question, right? That has no specifics to it, that allows the conscious mind to solve its own problem. Right. So here's the here's the question to you is, isn't that problem solving? Or is that something else? Gunther Mueller33:18Well, I was just going to stop and say it's not the conscious mind doing the problem solving when we're doing what we're doing is we're just asking superconscious to recognize the resistance, it's back to the resistant your piece of resistance, I would equate to being the true choice and the desire, that sustained resistance is the sabotaging identity. Okay, that's what creates the oscillating. And it just feels like you know, many times I've had what I wanted, I've been there. It's like, when I've created companies, I get there to the end, I have it life's good. Got the cash flow, get everything. There's still something missing. I wasn't really clear enough about what I want here. So my self-sabotaging reality was I could create anything I could build stuff. My thing was, I wasn't good enough to keep it. Yeah, I was great. I was creator, I could do this. I could build anything. But then when it was completely built and humming and running, you got taken away from me, or something happened and it cratered. But that's the underlying identity. Because the identity has to be congruent with the reality. If your identity never changes from like, I'm not good enough to I am good enough. I am capable, I am worthy. If that never changes, you can create a bunch of things and they won't sustain this happens in relationships. This happens, you know, in intimate love relationships, like you get there. It's the best thing in the world and the whole thing, just craters and goes away and you got to start over. What is that? Right That's what we're talking about here. So that resistance is in the center. unconscious program, it is a self-sabotaging identity. And so we can create it through affirmation and conscious work and all that. But it takes a long time to do that. And it takes diligent effort on our part to do it consistently. And so why I think the magAri Gronich35:18We're a fast food nation. So you know, that's been, you know, when I look at cognitive behavioral therapy, and the old paradigm of trauma work, I look at this long process, lifelong process of question and discovery, as to why your mind feels a certain way about a certain thing. I mean, I was seven when I was sent to my first psychologist, right. And I look at that as such a primitive way of doing therapy. Whereas, like, back in the, in the day, you know, tribal societies used plant medicines, and used tribal and cultural togetherness, deal with people's stuff. So let's accelerate what you're talking about. So we're going to accelerate from this old paradigm of subconscious moving things. So we're going to go to the superconscious and accelerate things. What does that look like?Gunther Mueller36:25Yeah, so I'm going to share that. But I don't want to say like everything that's been is not bad. Okay. We do the best we know how to do with what we know. And seven-year-old ongoing see the psychotherapist and he says the best that maybe your parents or whoever you had to do at the time, those were the tools, right? So think of everything is huge evolution that's happening. And this is awakening to the place that we're at today. And today, we have something called the magnetic mind method where, you know, what if it could be easy, what if it doesn't take 10 years of psychotherapy to figure out why I am the way that I am, and why I can't have what I want, or I get what I want, and it gets taken away. So when we go to superconscious, superconscious already knows. And we don't need to spend all that time digging in and asking the questions and figuring out where the connections were and where the misalignments were in Well, you know, I thought something but it wasn't really true. And I had, I gotta straighten all this out. superconscious can straighten that out in a blink, just because it already knows and you don't have we don't have to tell it any of the details, all we have to do is focus on what we want. And it's really the experience of what we want. So you mentioned earlier about, you know, getting into the emotions, getting into the emotion of the end result is step three, and the five step method because, you know, Einstein said, Look, there's only two things in the universe, there's information and there's energy, the information is the desire, the what, what do I want, okay. And the energy is the emotion. And it's like a holographic movie that when those two things come together, it's actually how a hologram is created. Okay, the energy and the information come together and shoot the manifests a hologram. So think of your life as like a holographic movie, where you are manifesting, you are, things are showing up in real time. And think of yourself for a second, as you're the director, you're the producer, you're the screenwriter, you've handed everybody their parts, and everything is happening, not to you, but for you to have the experience that's congruent with your identity. So you get treated by the characters, you know, as Shakespeare said, you know, all the world's a stage, and we're just actors on it, right? But you're the main guy, even in a movie, imagine walking into the screen and you becoming the main character. And when you look at some movies or series or something like that, some characters get written out a script. Right, they die off something terrible happens, they no longer exist. And the whole dynamic of the movie changes Think of your life in that way. The people that are there the circumstances, the conditions, the what is now is just what is. And when we focus on something else. And is the key point here also, we can focus on the problem, we can focus on how to fix the problem, and try to create, invent or figure out how to solve the problem. But what we focus on grows. So the more we focus on the actual problem, the bigger the problem sometimes gets. That's where we have to back out of that go into the creator stance and focus on what we would love focus on what we would just purely want. And that's how you know you have a true choice. If I asked you why do you want what you want? And you give me an answer and it sounds like a stepping stone on to something else. As a coach, I'm going to tell you that's not really the true choice because you're choosing something to get something else we have to get to the final end result. So I want to share just four creative stances with you real quick, to give you the perspective, a good creator stance is something like I choose to live my true nature and purpose. I just choose it. I choose to live my true nature and purpose because I'm going to tell you the only power that we really have in life is the power of choice. Think about it from the moment you wake up in the morning, what time do I get up? What are we going to wear, when we're going to go, we're going to drive, I'm going to take a bus, you know, when am I going to take lunch, it's a series of choices. And every choice has a result, or call it a consequence, right? So I choose to live my true nature and purpose. Another one is I choose to be the predominant creative force in my life.Gunther Mueller0:00I choose to live the life that I love. And this comes in alignment with your actions, right? The person that is living a life that they love, or this imaginative person that you see right now living a life that they love and the desire with that emotion of the end result, you're seeing the life that you love. What would you be doing right now, that's in alignment with that true choice. The action has to become an alignment, the identity needs to shift, but the actions have to be in alignment with their true choice. In other words, I choose to be healthy and vital. You know, the health issues we have going on in this country in the world and all that, you know, when your body is not working, and supporting you in the life that you love, it's a problem, you don't get to do the things that you love to do, because your body's not cooperating. So having a true choice, and I choose to be healthy and vital. And so let's just take a serious condition right now, if you're dealing with cancer of some level, the two choice is not to be cancer. The true choice is to be healthy and vital to have the experience. It's not the problem solving of how do I beat cancer? What therapy Do I need to beat cancer and all that the mindset shift needs to be creative and say, I choose infinite health and vitality? And what would it feel like to be infinitely healthy and vital. And you get into that stance? Because I'm going to tell you that everything that's ever been created, has been created twice, once in the mind. And once in a three-dimensional physical experience.Ari Gronich1:31Yeah, you know, it's funny, because I watched a lot of Jim Rohn stuff. And one of the things that Jim Rohn says is, is you wouldn't build a hotel until it was done. Right. You wouldn't build the thing until you had the blueprints until it was done. In your mind. If you just started to build something, you had brick, and you didn't know what you were building, people would ask you, you know, what are you building? I don't know, I'm just putting bricks together and they'd send you away. You know, he's like we are human beings are the one species that can program in and pre plan and choose what they're going to create. And…Gunther Mueller2:19sees are on instinct right. They're instinctual beings. Right? We have this creativeness. And if you ever read scripture in the beginning, I mean, it starts out right in the beginning says we were created in the image of the Creator. And so if we were in the image of the Creator, what are we? We are creative?Ari Gronich2:40I mean, if you're religious and believe that that is the line, absolutely. If you're not religious, and you don't believe that that's the line in a book, that means anything, it's still we create our kids, right? We create our imagination; I tell people on this show a lot. Like, we made this shit up. This is all a figment of our imagination. All of it, every single thing that we see here, taste do, everything is a figment of our imagination.Gunther Mueller3:17And the science backs that up. Our thoughts are perceptions and illusory, they're illusion, our emotions are illusion, they're not real. Okay, we make you sad. It's a simply we make this shit up, we create the reality we experience. And that's why you already are a superconscious creator. And all we have to do is what are you focused on? Are you focused on solving the problem to get what you want? Or do you really take back your power as a creator and choose to be the predominant creative force in my life? Ari Gronich3:56So we're gonna go back to your sales background a little bit, okay? Is what you just said? Ring a picture in my head of a billboard with a sign that says buy something to do something to get somewhere, right? So people are watching social media, advertising, how do they even know what is their true choice? How would they how would you even at this level, in this day and age, right, the bombardment of information and problems and stuff, right? How does somebody get to what that true choice is and while avoiding the noise of the sales of that advertisingGunther Mueller4:52Great question, because that is step one. In the five step magnetic mines. How do you choose a true choice? How do you actually get to it? And a true choice. The simple answer is if I asked you like, give me something you would just love. Give me something you would just really want. What's something?Ari Gronich5:09I'll just go to the, you know, question that life spring always or landmark always asked is chocolate or vanilla? Okay, for ice cream, like, what do you choose, chocolate or vanilla. Gunther Mueller5:21Choice of chocolate or vanilla or the choice of chocolate? Doesn't really doesn't matter. One day, I'll choose chocolate one day, I'll choose vanilla, because I like variety. Right? Okay, so that but that choice doesn't have any consequences. Right? So let's say let's say somebody chooses, let's take it in business, right? Um, you know, be like, Ari if you're coaching them are those on the show today, I got to start this business because I'm sick and tired of my nine to five job and I'm tired of my boss, I want to work for myself, you know, and they've seen the glitz on social media of people who've made it big, and they're driving lambos and stuff like that, you know, and you're just like, I want that, I want that. But the only way I'm going to get that I'm not going to get that at my job doing what I'm doing right now. Because my boss is cheap, and he's never gonna pay me more. I'm not getting paid what I want, what I'm worth, you hear the story that goes on mouth is a story, right? And so they would come to a coach like myself or like you, right? And we'd be like, well, I'm gonna do this, I need help doing this. And I'm gonna ask the question, Well, why do you want that? And if the answer is not just because I want it, it's not a true choice. If the answer becomes I want it, because when I have it, then I can be this or I can get that or it can become something else. Or it gets me to another place, then that thing that you just told me you wanted is not the true choice. It's just a stepping stone on to what you really want. So a true choice gets answered with I want it just because I would love to experience that. I want it just because I want it my being my desire, I just want that. I don't care what anybody else thinks. I don't get anybody else's input, whether it's a good choice, bad doesn't matter. I want it because I want to experience it experience is a very important thing. Because it's maybe not be a thing. It may not be something, it may be just an experience, like infinite abundance, or, you know, optimal vital health. Right?Ari Gronich7:30So true choice. I still, and I just want you to go deeper, I guess into it. I still see. Let's say I want joy, I want infinite joy. I want to experience joy at will. Gunther MuellerWhy do you want that? Why do you want to experience joy? On an infinite level? Ari GronichRight? That's what I'm saying is like, if somebody's saying that there's, at least in my case, it would be cuz I don't, but it would be. I haven't experienced enough joy in my life. So I want to experience at will the experience of joy. I love watching joy when I watch American Idol and I see somebody win. And they're just like, sheer joy. I want that. Right? It never, it never seems like a true choice. Because there's always is an outside perspective or an outside. If it's something I have not experienced, right, then it's outside of me. It's something I've been told would be good, right?Gunther Mueller8:35Your key right there, it's something I've been told would be good. And I should go do that. I should want that. That would be good for me. Someone else said. And then somebody else says that somebody else says somebody else says because all these somebody else's said it, it must be true. And it's not. So that's why coming into two choices and exercise that I do. It's called seven levels deep. And so you say the first thing that you really want, whatever it is, and I'm gonna ask you. So when you get that, what does that give you? Well, what do you get when you get that? What does that do for you? You say? Well, when I get that, I'm going to get this and it goes down to the next level. Okay, so when you get that, what does that do for you? But what do you get when you get that? Well, when I have that, then it's going to give me this. Okay, take that down. You have to third level now, right? You do that for seven levels deep. I want this because it gets me that then well, why do you want this? Well, because when I have this I can have that. And when I have this then I can have that and he push it down about seven levels and when you get down to the very bottom, and a lot of times you need a coach to do this because people will immediately say I don't know. And a coach will be like you do know you are connected to your infinite field that infinite consciousness. You do know, there's an aspect there's a resistance of you that doesn't want to recognize that, you know, because there may be a latent fear there, there may be something there that's blocking that, that real connection. And so it's a great exercise to go seven levels deep and Okay, so I say I want this thing, what do I want that? Okay, when I get that was like, What do I want that and you take it all the way down, that's how you get what I really want, is the experience of freedom. And no one ever getting to tell me what the hell to do. That's what I really want. Freedom, like for me is one of the operative words that have pushed me through life is the word freedom. And I was when I was in Alaska, I was working on a boat called the Born Free. no coincidence. Okay, the Born Free. And that's I identified with that name right away, like I am born free. It's not a I choose to statement like I knew it my consciousness that I am born free, free to choose what I want, when I want, who I want to do it with how much of it I want to do, it's me. And some people will flip that around while you just being selfish. No, it's in that same vein, that I can help whoever I want, I can provide for whoever I want, I can do all things with that type of freedom. And so when you look at the human desires of what it is we truly want, and you do a seven levels, deep exercise like that, I can tell you're going to get to the nitty gritty of what it is you really want. And that leads me to the two most important questions in life, which is Who are you? Who is it that you say you are? How do you operate? you operate with honesty, integrity, you know, things like that, like how do you I want to give you all the words, but how do you describe who is it that you say you are Who are you? And most of us have not spent any time contemplating that question, Who am I really Who am I? And then the second question is, what do I want, based on who I am what do I want. And all the social media, all the noise, all the influence from parent's school programming, peer pressure, whatever you want to call it, all that noise needs to cease for a moment, or lots of moments. So that you can actually get into your own being and understand what it is you truly would choose just because you would love it. See, we've never been given the opportunity in our programming really, to choose from a place of love. We choose from a place of elimination, sometimes, well, I got three crappy choices. Okay, so get rid of that one, get rid of that, I guess I choose that we choose by default, because we don't see any other choices, I don't have any. So I got to do that. And we choose by consensus. Before I make a decision, let me check with everybody and make sure everybody's gonna be on board with my decision. That's not a true choice. Where the fear is, if I choose something, my friends don't agree with me, I'm gonna lose my friends. That's fear. Right? So be conscious, observe how you choose what you choose. And that's a practice also, that's something that we just have to become conscious of? And what is our motivation? What are we really? Why do we want what we want? Is it to impress others? Is it to be liked? is it to have this feeling of belonging? is it to have this feeling of significance or being capable or admired, or to be beautiful or to be whatever, right? Whatever that desire is, it's a process of becoming conscious now, we don't have to go back and unravel everything because we are not broken. What is, is, and this is another key point I want to share the future will not be better. Many of us to say my life will be better when, my life will be better when this happens, or that happens when I get this, then I'll be able to do that. And everything is contingent on the future showing up. That's not how you create because the future is not going to be better because you are still going to be you in the future. Okay, what's it's just going to be different. And if we can just hold that thought for a second, the future is not going to be better. It's just going to be a different experience. And what I'm experiencing right now is just what is it's not bad. It's not horrible, because we just naturally our conscious mind like to throw labels on stuff. This suck. That's bad. That's wrong da da da.., right? And I want this because it's gonna be better. It's not going to be better. It's just going to be different experience than what is now If we can hold that for a second, we can achieve a level of contentment in the present moment, we can just be okay with what is. And we can just observe the current reality. And what is right now as just that is just what is and I choose something different. The feel the feel the difference of that it's not a half two, it's not anything like that it's I want, I just, I'm okay with where I am right now. It's just what it is. I created it all anyway. And I'm just choosing a different experience.Ari Gronich15:37Right. So that kind of ties into the Create a new tomorrow, you know, ideal is, as we started off with at the beginning of this is how to create a new tomorrow today. How do we? How do we get out of our own way? How do we, you know, stop the madness, you and I started before we hit record, we started talking about kind of what's going on in the world. I mean, the president of Haiti was assassinated, we've got the Cuba stuff going on, we got all of this madness around us. And the way that I always see have seen it is when the madness is happening around me, the only way for me to be the eye is for me to go inside. And outwardly focus from within my energy so that I'm pushing at the hurricane, so to speak versus and I'm in the eye instead of being in in the storm. But and obviously that works. Sometimes it doesn't work others, that's just the visual that I have. But we were talking about this, like, how does somebody get out of this place of madness that they're in? Whether it's web site, I don't care if the political or religious or scientific spectrum or cultural spectrum? It's everywhere right now. It's like, it's like a furnace has been lit. And and it's building pressure, right? I think something like we're in a pressure cooker. Yeah, let's talk about how do we let the steam out of the pressure cooker a little bit and then pop the top. So we're not in it? And do that in a safe way. But, you know, like, how do we get to that place from where we're at? Because what you're talking about feels very idealistic. I want to take it out of the idealism and into realism into how can somebody how can we do this? Now? How can we be in this?Gunther Mueller17:45So the idea, let's take the analogy of the pressure cooker. What if you do not have to reduce the pressure? But what if you can exist within the pressure and not be affected by the pressure?Ari Gronich18:04I guess that that's how I feel within like that I have a hurricane. Right?Gunther Mueller18:10It's a great visual, it is a great visual because there is infinite calm in the eye of the hurricane. To the left, there's chaos to the right, there's chaos, stuff blowing up, getting knocked down over here, stuff blowing up and knocked out over there. But in the middle, no wind, no storm in the eye could even be sunny in the middle of the hurricane. You know, it's like this whole Sun comes through and beautiful day. But the Hurricanes moving right. So the idealism, it only seems ideal, because it's a new concept. And just as asked was a new concept, you know, 30 years ago, that kind of thing, right? And rebirthing, we talked about that offline to so many techniques and things like that, to what to help us feel better. That's really what the human experience is, we want to just feel better. We want, we want what we want, which is to sum it up, less pain, more satisfaction, we want less pain and more satisfaction, you can throw the words meaning fulfillment in there. And what we talked about offline briefly was this pressure cooker feeling is like I described as people I think are getting to the point globally. Now. You mentioned all the places where there's unrest and problems going on. They are tired. They've had enough of not having enough. And I've always thought this look when you have nothing to lose. You have nothing to lose. And so you're going for it all because the current situation is not worth maintaining anymore. There's nothing in it anymore. It's painful, is gotten to the point where the pain of that existence. It is time to do something about it. But again, if you look at the world, they're solving it from the problem-solving real reality, we need to overthrow the dictator, we need to get a new government, we need to be left or right, we need to do this we the problem solving is there. So to answer your question that you asked me earlier a little bit, I wanted to inject the idea of we need to be it in order to see it. And the personal development movement have had has had that switched around a little bit, that as we start seeing results, we can be more that of that thing, right? I get when I have a billion dollars, I can be generous, right? So I need to create all this stuff. I gotta be a billionaire. And then I'll be able to, you know, be generous, like, if you're not generous now, in the current situation, you will not be generous. how many billionaires Do you know, I don't know that many of them. But I've heard of, and I read their stories, right? They're in fear of losing what it is they have. They don't have the bliss and the peacefulness and the calm in their life, and the experience that most of us really want or the freedom, okay, and we think that Oh, being that person like, the responsibility that comes with that position, the number of people that are trying to take your stuff, when you're in that position, the attacks that are coming at you, we think, oh, because, you know, we're in our secure Oh, it'd be so much better to be that guy. I'm here to tell you, not really not unless you structure it properly with the end in mind. Now, there are some people that have that, let's say kind of wealth, and I talk about wealth, not because it's the most important thing, because it's on a lot of people's minds. It's easy to measure, right? And when you look at the world, that seems to be what the irritation is, is not having enough. Ari Gronich21:53Let's say, you know, we go to the statistic 1.87, I believe trillion dollars into the like, top 10, 20 people in the world, their wealth over the course of COVID. Right. Whereas we spent, I think it's around 3 trillion. So I'm just going to correlate it right. So I correlate it, like the government spent 3 trillion of taxpayers money, 2 trillion of that approximately went into 20 people's hands. Right. So there's a correlation between wanting, I guess, fairness or equanimity and these kinds of things within the situation that that we aren't seeing, right. So if we're not seeing the fairness and equanimity that pain level goes up, as you were saying, and then the pressure cooker arises. But I don't think that people correlate the two things like they don't say, two, or 3 trillion came out of people's hands and into 20 people's hands, like out of a few 100 million into 20 people's hands. They don't say that they don't, they just say during this period of time, these top 20 people, their wealth skyrocketed, and these people their wealth went, right. So if we don't get the correlation, how do we get to the end, I'm going to use the word solution but as a problem solving, but how do we get to that place where equanimity fairness, those things, where as they're not guaranteed in life, are at least structured more appropriately or so that people can have the sense that when they do something like this magnetic mind, you know, and they're doing these five steps that they actually think that that true choice can happen?Gunther Mueller24:03Yeah, so anything high Einstein said this to write anything that you can imagine, you can create, anything that's ever been created started in the imagination first, but you have to think of your life in little bubbles, you are in this little bubble right here. Okay. And that's just you, your desires, your true choices, the experience that you want in the current reality, and you want this experience just because you'd love it, just because you want it just because that's the experience you want to have. It does not mean that the entire world has to change for you to have this experience in your life. And let's just stick with the wealth or abundance type thing. In order for you to have the experience of abundance. It doesn't mean you have to be one of the 20 people. Ari, I want to use an example of breathing The last time you thought about how much air was available to you today to breathe.Ari Gronich25:06I'm a weird one, I think about it because I think about cleanliness and the air. But you know. Gunther MuellerThat's different from quantity, right? Ari GronichThat is different. quality versus quantity. Yeah, that's different.Gunther Mueller25:17But our experience as human beings is that we've always had pretty much unless you're drowning, or you're locked in a sealed box or something like that we've had an infinite air supply, we can breathe as much as we want as fast as we want. We've never really thought about, you know, is there going to be enough air today for me to survive? Know the so even in the current reality in the current moment, if you focus on just breathing, you can have the experience of abundance. That's what abundance feels like having more than enough. And so let's say in our lives, if we want to create that experience of abundance, if you have $10, left over from your budget, at the end of the month, you have more than you needed, you just have $5 left over at the end of the month. That is an experience of abundance, it may not match your desire. But this is what creates the contentment in the moment just for a time since you can plant your feet. And you can be it now. Okay, you can be it now you can experience abundance of what it feels like to be abundant in your little bubble. All right now around this bubble, is your family, friends and influence your little tribe is around there. And these are the ones that could be speaking, some sort of negativity into your thing, right, but you're in this bubble, you have a true choice, you have a desire, you have the thing that you would just love to experience for no other reason than the fact that you want it, you love it. And this field here is either going to you're going to influence this field or this field is going to influence you. And the more you secure yourself in your own being listening to your own voice, your own desires, and you focusing on that which you want, and not trying to solve for world peace or trying solve all the ills and all the problems in the world. It's the analogy of the airplane, right, you have to put your oxygen mask on first, before you can help anyone else. So getting in to the conscious creator stance, and choosing that which you want, creates this little bubble. And you can experience that which you choose to experience in this little bubble and it does work. Okay, the magnetic mind method has even restored eyesight, we're not promising that but we had a blind person go through a series of recodes and restored the eyesight because the identity shifted from a person that did not see to a person that now sees, we've had people get out of wheelchairs, because the identity has shifted, again, extreme examples of what is not promising that everybody, but when the identity shifts, the current reality changes. And that reality includes the bubble of your family may not like how your family and friends treat you or done it enough. But that can change too. When this changes, then this changes when this bigger bubble then changes, then the outer bubble changes and the more people that are taking this responsibility for themselves and manifesting their own true choice experience. And imagine if more and more and more people did this on a regular basis. And I regular by i mean you know, once or twice a day is getting into that field and being clear about what you want. Because you have to send that vibration into the field superconscious needs to know that you're serious about what you want. It can't just

In this episode of the podcast, I have explained "Arctic Refugee Drilling" and President Biden's decision about it which came few days ago. This is the last episode of "Season 1" and I have planned something very important for the next season for audience like you. Stay Tuned!Additional Info:In 1989, the Exxon Valdez spilled 11 million gallons of oil into Alaska's Prince William Sound. Exxon spent $2 billion trying to clean up and recovered less than 7 percent of the oil spilled. In 2010, the BP Deepwater Horizon blowout spilled up to 200 million barrels into the Gulf of Mexico. Of that, only about 8 percent was recovered or burned off. Extreme conditions—including icy waves that reach 50 feet—make response in the event of an Arctic spill even more difficult. The nearest response stations to Arctic drilling sites are located thousands of miles away. For decades, Murkowski and other Alaska politicians have seen the refuge as an extension of Prudhoe Bay, the nation's largest oil field and the state's aging cash cow, which has been in steady decline since 1988. In 2017, Murkowski's daughter, Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), managed to slip a provision mandating two ANWR lease sales of at least 400,000 acres each into the massive federal tax cut bill. She and the Trump Administration estimated that the oil field might ultimately generate $100 billion in revenue for the federal treasury. The financial challenges to drilling anywhere in the Arctic stem from the physical challenges—and those are increasing, thanks to fossil fuels themselves. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet, turning rock-hard frozen permafrost into a land of lakes, sinkholes, and boggy peat in the summer. Last June, after weeks of record high temperatures that hit over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, a giant diesel fuel tank in the Siberian city of Norilsk sank into the tundra and ruptured, spilling 21,000 metric tons (157,500 barrels) of fuel—nearly half the amount spilled by the Exxon Valdez tanker off Alaska in 1989—and creating the largest spill in modern Russian history.Arctic's abundant wildlife would be impacted by offshore drilling and a potential oil spill in the Arctic. Polar bears spend so much of their lives on the sea ice of the Arctic Ocean that they're actually classified as marine mammals. They're talented swimmers and spend more than half their time hunting for food—mainly seals. Walruses—and their unmistakable white tusks—are a mainstay of Arctic marine life. Belugas, the bright white whales of the Arctic, sit at the top of the food chain and play a crucial role in the ocean by distributing nutrients to phytoplankton. Ringed, ribbon, spotted, and bearded seals are collectively known as the “ice seals” and live on sea ice in the Arctic for at least part of the year. Expansion of oil and gas drilling in their habitat could be extremely damaging.
